Topics: freaked my socks off, strange moments, twilight zone
Okay, start the music...that's right...the "kling-kling-kling-kling" one from "The Twilight Zone."
You know you had those moments of utter befuddling strangeness where it seemed like all the laws of physics were suspended or maybe all the myths became more starkly real than "reality."
What were some of your moments that seemed to turn your world upside down, and leave you in the outer limits of awe and dread, even if for just a few minutes?
What was it that gave you a profound case of the hebejebees?

Ages ago just after I was baptized at a church, I went to the church to find a parking lot full of cars. But there was NOBODY in sight. I checked the church office. Nobody. I checked the classrooms. Nobody. I checked the sanctuary. Nobody at all.
I was certain that the rapture had come and that I was the one left behind. I was so freaked!
It wasn't till 20 minutes later when one of the deacons came by to pick up some materials. Everyone had gone to the college nearby for a seminar and had been loaded onto a bus.-
...so Steven King!

kling-kling-kling-kling? In my head it was always do-do-do-do! LOL!!!
Okay, here's my weird moment...
When I was a preschool teacher, the children were putting on a little dance recital one evening. I was sitting in the back. The dad of my of my girls is creepy (we had a file going and suspected him of sexual abuse) gets up from sitting with his wife and son and comes back and sits next to me!
I got all sweaty and was ready to barf! I endured about 30 seconds and then got up and left.-
He liked you, Liz

Waking up on the floor in my bedroom in the middle of the night, fully clothed and the bottom of my jeans soaked...
7 years later, I still don't know what the heck happened!!-
Maybe you DON'T want to know.

maybe you sleep walked!

That's what I'm thinking... but the arm to the house didn't go off! I must of set in off and back on during my little adventure...
I was summer though, It hadn't rained for days. -
I suppose you are taking the name "Danger Mouse" a teensy-weensy bit too literally?

Ha Ha!... :-/

When I was working at a summer stock theater in Montana, there were whispers that the place was haunted. One night, when I was working at the costume shop late, certain things happened that made me think something was going on. For example, I put some fabric away in a drawer and when I walked back into the room, ALL the drawers were wide open--and I am sure that I shut the drawers. I really got goosebumps and after that, I wouldn't work in the theater by myself at night.
There were other things that happened too--one woman swore she saw an image late at night but I never did see that.-
Haunted places are fun. I've already told some of my encounters with ghosties and spirits in other posts.

Too bad I missed them! I love haunted stories! This is my only one.

Of course when someone has done a lot of invocations, something like that is bound to happen sooner or later.

Then there was the time back in the 90's when I visited a little town in the Central Valley. I don't remember where. I stopped to pick up some dried fruit. But the people there looked a bit out of date. I only found one vintage car and it was covered in filth. I looked at papers they had for wrapping and everything was from the 30's. And everyone looked at me as if I was the serpent from the pit of hell. One reached for what looked like a shotgun and told me to "git" and that "Roosevelt gotta get rid of perverts like you!" I didn't argue.
This was one place that seemed to be frozen in the depression era. Never found it again driving off Highway 99 either. I have wondered if it might have been another one of those waking dreams. -
Several years ago, my wife and I were out looking at houses. We arrived at this particular house in the late afternoon. We found the lock box, a small metal container affixed to the door frame that could be opened by a key given to us by the realtor and which had inside it the key to the house.
Only I couldn't feel any key inside the lock box, which was no more than three fingers wide and one knuckle deep. Puzzled, we walked around the house and then for some reason I tried the lock box again and lo and behold there was the key. We went in and looked around what turned out to be a deceptively small house.
All the while I had this sense of unease, a feeling I can only describe as one of unhappiness and anger. My wife and I met in the living room to leave and we both agreed that the place was creepy and we were more than ready to go, but now the door was stuck, and it would not open. By now I was more than a bit anxious and I tugged hard at the obstinate door, but it still would not budge.
I looked around and saw a log that had been left near the fireplace. I picked it up, fully prepared to smash the window, such was my determination to not spend another minute in that house. I gave the door knob one last try, and it opened. My wife and I stepped out into the gathering dusk and looked at each other and then at the house. We put the key back in the lock box and got out of there.-
Looks like that house decided for a while that it wanted to keep you. It reminds me of the house in Joplin, MO where my spouse and I first lived. There were all kinds of traps and the windows never opened. All kinds of strange sounds filtered through the walls.

I honestly have never been freaked not even when my own Grandmother tried her best to drown me when I was around the age of 8-11 years old.
I always remembered keeping calm and speaking to someone who answered me back that help was on the way and to remain calm. Grandma failed in her attempts but I also remember when it was 911 and I was calm through that too.-
Your Grandmother tried to drown you??? Poor dear! If you made it through that it would indeed be impossible to freak you out.
