Every forum with an offtopic section should have one of these threads. They always provide some very nice stories, whether we can prove them true or not.

So, have you ever experienced anything you deem "supernatural" in any way? Seen a ghost/creature/sight you can't explain? share here.


Well, I've got two facts in my life I really don't have any reasonable explanation for, but they WERE real. As I usually do, I'll let anyone else begin, then I'll post them here.

Let the stories begin.

In 2006 we got word my mum had CLL and would require chemo and radiation. Those gave her a couple more years but by Christmas of 2009 we knew the end was near. I got a call from my sister one morning in the spring of 2010 telling me I needed to come down there (about a 7 hour drive) because it would be any time now. I told her I had some things to tie off before leaving and would leave the next afternoon. Later that same day she called again and reminded me the end was coming and that I should get my stuff done and go. I did my crap and called it a night. I slept late the next morning and was packing up my car getting ready to go when she called again asking me why I was not there yet. I could tell by the sound of her voice that my need to get moving was really, really urgent. I had had a couple of years to prepare for her passing and I was not affected much by that aspect of it but I was emotionally overwhelmed by the thought of missing my one last chance to say goodbye and tell her I loved her. I headed south on the freeway and my foot just sort of found its own way to the floorboard. I was screaming down the tarmac averaging between 160 & 200 kph (100 - 130 mph) with tears in my eyes to the point I could barely see. At the time, I was oblivious to the fact I was putting my own life in danger and the lives of others around me on the freeway. All I could think about was her. I wasn't really paying much attention to the highway. I had made that trip many hundreds of times since moving to Alberta and I knew the road surface and the exits like the back of my hand. I arrived and said my hellos to my sisters and then went in to see her. She was not lucid but I said the things I needed to say anyway. She left us within a half hour of my arrival. My sisters speculated she had been waiting for me. I stayed there for a bit longer while we saw the thing to the end. It was on my drive back home a week later that I began remembering the trip down and the speeds I was flying at and the fact my eyes were closed much of the time and filled with tears when they were open, blurring what little vision I was using. There was not a scratch on anything and there had been no close calls. To the best of my knowledge I don't even think I frightened anyone else on the highway. I was like Moses parting the Red Sea. Traffic just moulded itself to fit my flight-path. It was doing that the whole way down. It wasn't until I was going home that I could remember watching the traffic issues ahead of me sort themselves out way before I got to them with plenty of time to spare. It was not that traffic saw me coming and moved aside. This was happening 15 to 20 seconds ahead of me, long before I would have registered in their minds as being part of their surroundings. I believe I was flying on angels' wings.


For the record, I don't drive like that and am usually a watchful and defensive driver.

Ok one of mine. I dont remember any of this myself, my parents told me both stories.

When I was a toddler, barely learning to speak, my father bought a couple of framed reproductions of XVIII and XIX century drawings.

He came home late and hang them in the hall. In the morning, he came to get me in my room for breakfast, and holding me in one arm, he stood by the paintings and noticed that I was kind of stoned, staring at one in particular, a depiction of a slave market. He asked "like that one, buddy?" And I said, in my limited baby speech: "no. ugly."

The old man asked "why is it ugly?" and I replied, in a surprisingly articulate sentence "it's not the painting. It's ugly that the white man buys the black man".

I obviously had no idea what slavery was and was way too young to make such a social/ethical evaluation, as a matter of fact I was too young to even understand what that picture was all about... my parents always had the feeling that "someone" would have whispered that to me. I'll never know.

More or less in the same year, I was sitting down on the floor, playing with my mother, while my father was reading on his bed. I suddenly pointed to where my father was lying down and said "look, mommy: that's my uncle right there".

My mother said "No, that's your father, baby." And I said "No mommy, dad is the one lying down on the bed. Uncle is standing right next to him, dressed in green". A month or so later, as I arrived at my grandmother's house for the first time, I immediately pointed at a painting in the living room, a portrait of my late great-uncle who had been an army officer (uniforms are green here), who died before I was born, and said "that's uncle, he was with dad that day".

Like I said, I don't remember anything of this. I was about 1 year old, give or take a month, when all this happened.

The other thing that happened to me was about 10 years ago. I was studying in Argentina, and was staying at an old downtown hotel.

I was asleep one night and woke up feeling like I was being strangled. I didn't dream this, I really woke up. When I opened my eyes, there was something floating over me, I find it hard to describe. It was like a mist, but a dense one, almost corporeal. The thing I find more close to it as an example are the dementors in Harry Potter (I know, sounds funny, but believe me, it wasn't).

It was clearly exerting force on me, and I couldn't breathe. I tried to use all my strenght (I'm a strong adult, and dude, I was overpowered) to fight my way upwards, but it was damned strong. LONG seconds of struggling, until it just vanished and I could take a deep breath, and felt so weak that I kinda passed out. I woke up again a few minutes later and spent the rest of the night up.

Man, I fought that thing so hard, the muscles in my back hurt like hell the other day.

I have no trouble sleeping, no sleep disorders or nightmares whatsoever. This stuff never happened to me before or after. And I repeat: I was WIDE awake. It was no dream.

Does marrying a vampire whose mother was a dragon count as supernatural?

Perhaps, on Game Of Thrones.

I thought this thread was about the "classic" song, "The Supernatural". :oops:
Here's the original featuring Peter Green.

You all should have paid heed to Nancy Reagan and just said "no to drugs". :wink:

Better drugs than supernatural mumbo jumbo.

Virtually every major move and decision the Reagans made during my time as White House chief of staff was cleared in advance with a woman in San Francisco who drew up horoscopes to make certain that the planets were in a favorable alignment for the enterprise.
