Thread: Bad feeling

Im sure humans lost the " sixth sense " many moons ago but every now and then we can have bits of it pop back into our under utilized brains. The more hours i spend hunting the more often this happens for me.
The last time was April hunting clements. Me and princes slayer were sneaking through a thick patch when i got the " somethings watching us " feeling. After a thermal scan around us which showed nothing the feeling got stronger and i wasn't happy but never shared my concerns. 30 yards further on some higher ground the feeling was too strong to ignore so i told the girl, who thought i was losing it. Out with the electric eye again but this time i found the culprit. A big eyed more pork was sitting above us watching our every move.

I want to be the one sitting in the dark just beyond the campfire light while you lot tell each other ghost stories....... waiting, just waiting

You sound a dead ringer for one of the parents of children at a club camp. One of the "activities; was for the children to be taken for a walk along clear paths through the bush after dark and told to listen for the animal noises and activities. Only the Adult leaders of each small party had a torch and the children were warned against making any noises as the 'possums in the trees would pee on them if they did.
At least one child, of course failed to remain quiet and the parents up in the trees armed with water pistols would ensure that more children.......made a noise.

Ah, but your post was made NINE HOURS later than mine. :&gt<br><br>Observe my latest signature&nbsp; which is aimed at the current lot rewriting our history bu coincidentally is appropriate..<br>

On a similar theme, has anyone here had experiences or ‘sightings’ of some of those now mythical figures like the Fiordland moose or the Otago panther?

I think ive seen an otago couger

So are we telling ghost stories in general or just bush related ?
I have had a few moments in the bush with the usual 'being watched' feeling but the last time was not spiritual I don't think , unless I have a guardian angel .
I sometimes get a bad , ominous feeling of impending doom that something is about to turn to shit , and it has happened enough that even the mrs believes my bad feelings , as when they have been ignored something usually happens .
Not very exciting but middle morning , me the mrs and kids are climbing the side of a fairly open scrubbyish steepish hill and I get one of those feelings . Ignored it for a time but it started getting real bad . I ended up sitting down and called to the mrs . She immediately knew what was happening and said you're getting one of those bad news feelings aren't you ? and called the kids back .
Apparently I was white as a sheet .
She turned us straight around after explaining to the kids what was happening . As we came back down the feeling slowly subsided and I was fine .
Ended up climbing a different hill and all good .

If you want to hear a proper ghost story let me know , but not bush related . And it's fairly long winded so may take a couple of installments .This happened at a mates rental house and still gives me the shits every time I think about it ......
And we got most of it on video.....
Unfortunately his other half threw it on the fire a few years after, afraid it might come visiting again....

Carry on with the stories. As a non-believer in the supernatural, I'm intrigued by this stuff and no one is taking the piss.

I think we can tell other stuff here instead of starting a new thread.
We lived for 20yrs beside a cemetary before i moved to where i live now. It happened every time and what i believe was happening the night someone got buried our dogs would be up all that night running around as if they were playing with someone but could never see any one....thats one of many things that happened at that place....

I got a real bad feeling once, like some evil spirit inside me trying to tie my intestines in a knot, it could have also been the can of bake beans I had that was 15 years old.

I expelled the demon within the very next morning, felt way better after that.

Ok here goes..... Approx 25 yrs ago

Part 1 - the back story

So my mate moves to greymouth for work. Finds a super cheap fully furnished two bedroom house for rent ( I won't say the address but it's forever burned into my memory) . It was a very old house been recently purchased and the new owners had started modernizing it . For example the ceilings were old high style so they had fitted lower gib board ceilings around a foot below the originals and there was wiring etc hanging out of walls where switches were obviously supposed to go but never fitted etc...
Apparently they had up and left to Ozzy all of a sudden with nothing finished ....

Later after a bit of research we discovered several people had died in the house , the last being a suicide by hanging and at one point he tried to get a psycic in there but they turned up and refused to go on the property and warned him to get out .

So for a month or so before I visited , I was in nelson , he was calling at all hours with these stories about stuff happening and freaking him out ... Strange noises , illegible writing on walls , kitchen knives appearing all over the house , stuff vanishing or being moved and so on ....
And the lights floating in the rooms....

He started going to bed with an axe after wedging his bedroom door shut from the inside...

I , of course , being the supportive mate told him to stop drinking so much and stop smoking the whacky baccy and he might stop seeing things....lol

As it turns out , he wasn't imagining any of it....

To be continued......

Part 2 ..... My visit - day 1

So I get 4 days off work to go visit my mate and check out these stories of his .
The night before I leave he calls me around midnight telling me that there is a cat or something in the ceiling running around the length of the house and a crashing noise in the kitchen , but he's in his bedroom and no way he's going to find out what the crashing noise is .
So I arrive next day around lunchtime .
He meets me outside and starts going on about the cat thing from night before .
So I go inside through the ranch slider which opens into the lounge , and the room is L shaped , the short arm of the L being the kitchen , which has a hallway leading to the bedrooms . Next to this doorway is a fridge . On the floor in front of the fridge is an intact sheet of gib board , with bent nails still in the board .
Above the fridge is a hole in the ceiling where this board used to be.....
And black filthy cat prints ...?
BUT , the prints were all up the WALL from floor to ceiling , on the CEILING around the hole , and up the FRONT and SIDE of the fridge , hundreds of them - nothing on top of fridge or floor..... something had run up and down the wall , the fridge and around the hole in the ceiling UPSIDE DOWN ... WTF
So unless spiderman has a spider-cat that dropped by neither of us have any idea how to explain it .....
He showed me around the house and I saw the writing on the wall and scribbles and a kitchen knife on the table he reckons wasn't there when he went to bed etc ....
A little later another mate arrived we also convinced to come down with a video, and a still camera .
Then we hit the pub....
