    Original recording of the bit from the Art Bell show that tool use on faaip de oiad.

    I HOPE that was fake. It always made sense to me and scared me (if they exist, which I hope they don't)that "extraterrestrials" were really just from a different dimension. If that's the case, that would be easier and more plausible than space travel. That clip had some really scary and interesting bits, especially the part where he talks about "the precursor to the space program" making contact with the evil beings. Every conspiracy theory under the sun talks about aliens blending in and taking control that way, but that too makes more sense than an ID4 invasion :P because it would be much easier than fighting a long war.
    Oh, man, I just listened to that last night.

    Here's four scenarios for what happened:

    1.) Staged by Art Bell & co. The caller was just a great actor
    2.) Wasn't real, guy was just prank calling (and is still a great actor)
    3.) Wasn't real, but guy believed it was 'cause he's fucking looney
    4.) Was real, and the guy just got black helicopter-ed into a shadow government prison.

    The worst part of it is that 3 is almost scarier than 4. Schizophrenics live in a terrifying world, and I feel for the guy. The part where the station loses power wasn't that scary for me, but the caller's panic and mental breakdown were powerful stuff.

    The idea of 10,000 sunken ships in a general area freaks me the fuck out. I have no idea why, but there it is. Leave them down there. Don't send down cameras. Don't touch them. Once something hits the bottom of the sea, it's cursed and gone forever, IMO.

    I'll throw my vote in for 3. But the whole "getting knocked off the air" thing added to the WTF factor.

    The creepiest feeling I've ever felt was when I was woken up in the middle of the night by an itching sensation. At first I ignored it but then it moved down my face. Annoyed, I woke up and turned on the lights to see what it was. Welcome to the joys of living in a spider-infested room.

    The house I grew up in, we had a spare bedroom. For years, no one went in it except to prepare it for guests. Guests never seemed to over stay their welcome. That never set off any alarms because I wrote it off as my family sucking. Then I decided I wanted to swap bedrooms, and make the spare bedroom mine.

    The first night after I got my stuff moved over, I woke up in the middle of the night. I never wake up. I sleep like a log. I was covered in cold sweat and couldn't move. On the ceiling above me was a pitch black swirling mass. It seemed nebulous, and like it was part of the ceiling, not on it. And that, if I were to somehow fall upward, I would tumble into eternity. There was an area straight above my face where it seemed to be concentrated. I would venture to guess that was what could be considered its face.

    It spoke to me. But I didn't hear it make any noise. It was speaking in my head, to my thoughts. It wanted to consume me. But not in a carnivorous way. It wanted to absorb my conciousness into itself. At least, that's what I understood. But I had to want to go with it. *

    I did not want to go with it.

    The longer it was there, the deeper it seemed. The more convincing it became. This seemed to go on forever. Finally, it winked out of existence. Like, sunk into itself until it wasn't there anymore. I screamed.

    My father told me later that when he got to my room, he saw me laying, pale like death and screaming this horrible scream, on the bed. I screamed like that for several minutes. Everyone wrote it off as a nightmare.

    Until my brother decided to move into the room, and moved out the next morning. But we never talked about it after that.

    * EDIT: Upon further remembrance, it wasn't so much that I had to want to go, but that it would enjoy it more if it could get me to agree to it.

    I've had recurring nightmares, for the past two weeks or so, of people in black robes and silver masks - the masks are sort of a weird blend of the traditional dramatic masks and Greek helmets - chasing me, catching me, and using me as some sort of ritual sacrifice, or something. There's a lot of screaming and mad laughter and disembowelment and blood, anyway. Sometimes they're also chasing friends and loved ones, and we're all killed together; once or twice a few of them have removed the masks and been friends and loved ones.

    And the truly terrifying thing is that for these, I'm actually dreaming in first person - I usually dream like watching a movie, I can see myself and the surroundings and crap, but for this I'm totally bound by my actual frame of view and there's always something maddeningly just outside my peripheral vision, something that I can't see but know is very, very, very bad.

    I need to reduce my stress level. Also maybe to toss the elder god living in my sewers a small animal sacrifice or something. Christ.

    RE: Orbs in photos--If you're using a flash, it's almost always just some barely visible particles (pollen, dust, droplets of water) reflecting light. The only time I think orbs are interesting at all in photos is when no flash is used.

    The "orb" phenomenon seems linked to the rise of easily available digital cameras. For the most part, I think it's just stuff floating around. If you're outside, in a graveyard with lots of particles in the air (which is most common in the evening as the temperature drops and moisture condenses) you're going to get orbs in your photos.

    I'm more impressed by orbs when there's only a few.

    I mean, an entire field of orbs in the middle of a summer sunset after it rained? Well, dur. Of course the light from the flash is gonna show up.

    A clean room with 3 orbs with no discernible pattern in a still lived in and well-kept house? THAT is something to be impressed/creeped out by.

    I dont know why, because I dont actually believe in aliens as such, but they still manage to scare the bejesus out of me. Irrational, heart-pounding fear. I dont need to even hear this recording to not be able to fall asleep quickly tonight. Im just glad my girlfriend is staying over.

    That was pretty creepy. Stuff like this doesn't usually scare me because it's almost always fake (which is probably true about this as well), but the fear and confusion in his voice certainly at least sound genuine. And of course, the whole thing with his transmitter being knocked off the air is pretty strange too, particularly the timing of it. Probably coincidence, but still... very creepy.

    This is another (apparently) infamous Art Bell show in which he plays a sound clip which the submitter claimed was an actual sound recording from Hell. Supposedly there were some scientists in Siberia doing some sort of geological research. They drilled down about 9 miles and seemed to break through into a large cavern, where they registered a tmeperature of about 2000 Fahrenheit. They lowered a microphone designed to record the sound of plate movements and, so the story goes, recorded the suffering of millions of people trapped in Hell.

    Sounds creepy, but of course patently false. Besides, when you actually listen to that clip it sounds more like a crowded school cafeteria than anything else. The story is cool though.

    Oh and speaking of Hell: someone, for the love of God, link me something about these Elevators to Hell. I can't find anything on them and people here keep saying "oh yeah, that was creepy" but nobody will tell me what they are.

    Also, some friends of mine back home in NC told me that there was a doorway to Hell somewhere in town. They said they were driving through a heavily wooded neighborhood at night and one of the houses they passed had an old busted up shed in front of the house, over towards one side of the yard. The door was open and there were steps inside, leading down, and there was a bright red-orange light (like flames) coming from whatever was below. They drove on quickly. I think they were half-joking when they called it a Hellmouth. But they told me where it was and I drove by, but didn't even see a house with a shed.

    Oh well.

    Yeah, they've been running that clip for years and completely ignoring the fact that it's been debunked. Makes for good entertainment.

    Don't get me started on sunken ships. Just one more layer to the "Dopefish mythos" and fear of the depths.

    There was this bunch of ships on the coast of an island, just off the coast of Queensland, where my family and I went for a holiday. There was this really great idea to take a tour that snorkels aroudn the ruins. Bloody brilliant. There's nothing quite like swimming across the surface of the water with crystal clear vision of all below you...

    Those bloody wrecks... such... beautiful stuff. Really helps you sleep at night. Not to mention that you basically have to tread water the whole time. Stop kicking, and the deep will consume you...

    Hate shipwrecks. Absolutely loathe them.

    I don't find shipwrecks creepy in and of themselves, but a lot of the situations that go along with them freak me out. Deep water scares the piss out of me, especially when there's no telling where the bottom is. Drowning is one of my biggest fears. Couple those two with the possibility of bodies still being in the ships if they didn't make it out in time and you've got a nice recipe for discomfort.

    Loving this thread, I actually registered because of it. But on to the creepy stuff;

    Firstly, am I the only who's seen shadow people and not been freaked out by them? I actually find them kind of... comforting. Whenever I see them I get the feeling that they're watching out for me, they're not a malicious presence in the slightest.

    This kind of ties in with the shadow people a bit, but when I was a kid, I was in my room, reading in bed. Now, the important thing here is that this was in the morning, and my room was on the side of the house opposite to where the sun rises. So when light started streaming into my window, I got a bit concerned. When a being made of light actually entered through the window and started walking towards me, I outright fled in terror. Thankfully it only happened once, but Jesus Christ it scared me. I've not really heard anyone speaking of 'light people', either.

    Actually, putting how the 'light person' terrified me, and shadow people comfort me, with the weird bit of trivia that my mother's skin turns black when it comes into contact with silver, makes me a bit D:

    Another time when I was a kid (and part of this sounds stupid because it is), I managed to fall into an open manhole. I just didn't notice that the cover was off, I guess. The creepy part is; something dragged me out when I started to fall. And I was alone. There was nothing and nobody within visible sight, so quite what pulled me out is a bit of a mystery.

    Well, considering that the evil in that house seemed to slowly start spreading like a flesh-eating cancer as soon as we moved in, I would say that most people who come to realize they're living in a house like that do what I did.

    Move.

    Well, I moved. My parents and brother stayed, and their lives went totally down the shitter, until finally the house was foreclosed on. They're still recovering. They went from moderately successful, well adjusted people to sporadically employed, hate mongers (toward each other and other family). That house makes me shake with fear whenever I think about it, and I haven't lived there in eight years.

    All in all, my parents lived there 14 years. No one who has lived there since has managed to stay more than a year.

    No worries, zenpotato. I wasn't taking offense. But no, we never tried to have the house cleansed. The night I talked about, my dad thinks I just had a really bad nightmare. It's hard to describe what it was like living there. Everything would be fine, everyone living life like it's normal. But whenever something odd/scary would get my attention, I couldn't direct my attention straight at it.

    My head would get swimmy like when you're breathing nitrous oxide. And whatever was going on, or whatever I was thinking about that had to do with the creepiness would get pushed to the side of my mind, over in the periphery.
