Yet again because an opinion differs from your own, Krela, nobody on the forum is allowed to believe otherwise. Despite you stating that some like to believe in supernatural beings. Yet mysterious "engery" is perfectly pheasable. I'm sure our understandings of such engery and the supernatural are on the same level so I think it's fair, and interesting, conversation considering that "ghosts" etc are often related to old, decaying buildings.
 
Sound travels differently in some places. Could have sworn people were coming up the stairs in the old tower block we did a while back. It seems though that we went undetected and the site was completely empty in the end. All that tiptoeing around and ninja stuff for nothing! Then but hey - someone managed to get pinched there not long before we did it, so maybe it was worth it :D Rats, foxes, pigeons, seagulls and other creatures can make unusual noises also.

I'd love to scare the living shite out of some of those ghost hunter types though...:D

I recall any recent unusual experiences, I think I'm just getting used to them or something!

Isn't that basically what we have all been discussing over the last seven pages?????

No, it's not mookster. We've pretty much been discussing strange experiences; we've discussed dogging, naked modelling, weird security, being inside burning buildings etc.

Firstly, I am allowed an opinion on every subject just like you are, the fact mine differs to yours is neither here nor there but in hindsight I can see why you might think that. You probably do have a point in that if supernatural discussions aren't allowed I shouldn't have stated my opinion either as it is part of the same discussion really. But that isn't the reason why discussions about that subject aren't allowed, which leads me on to...

Secondly, "yet again"? I rarely shut down subjects unless they're off-topic or against the forum rules (all of which exist for very specific reasons) and when I do it's because discussions like this invariably descend into shit, I've had 20 years experience of running online communities and I know how things tend to go. It's rarely an interesting discussion, it's near identical to evidence vs faith type discussions on religion which never end well, they're the types of discussions where people talk at each other with no actual discussion, and that tend to cause friction which annoys and alienates people. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with either belief, but I am saying it's not a useful discussion to have here. There are MANY places you can go if you want to talk about supernatural things.

Does that make me authoritarian? Yes, it sure does. How I moderate the forum and what types of subjects are discussed here sets the tone for the whole forum, and I have a very specific tone I aim to maintain which is probably very different to a lot of other places. This tone isn't for everyone, I accept that, but that's the way it goes on the internet.

And more than one of us, you included, has been discussing ghosts/paranormal encounters in this thread at least once in whatever way that may be. All of which falls under the 'strange experiences' category. I fail to see where this has caused friction, everyone has been very respectful of what others have to say on the matter. The thread was doing fine until this page.
 
I've just admitted my post about energy was badly ill judged, pretty much all other posts have been about the experiences themselves, and haven't included interpretting the cause, paranormal or otherwise. I shouldn't have done so myself either, I was wrong in that post, I apologise for the confusion it's caused.

If this post stays that about strange experiences, great, and if it doesn't I'll continue to nudge people away from interpretting them, and shut up about my own opinions.
 
On another Ironsky Urbex adventure that had a interesting encounter was at a derelict factory at Sheffield. While walking around looking for that 'shot' as you do noticed movement in a corner. As I got closer I realised it was a lady totally naked posing in a window, she noticed me and started to panic then noticed a man holding a camera. All three of us looked at each not knowing what do or say. So I said it was a interesting place for photos the man nodded the woman was trying to dress but didn't seem to know which part to dress first. Then both walked away the woman was clearly miffed. Another one was while taking photos of a derelict brewery at Sheffield, was doing the outside then felt a hand on my shoulder turned around two rather thin ladies who clearly had seen better days were stood their. Then one lady spoke ' you looking for business darling' at first not sure what she meant just stood their looking at them gone out then the penny dropped. I said no and moved on this was three in the afternoon on a Sunday. Fair to say Urbexing at Sheffield is never dull.

Hi,

Anyone have any strange experiences while exploring? I visited a disused mine site near to Plymouth and stumbled on a porn movie set! So many naked ladies that day!

It's Plymouth all our sites have that!

I went to Ottermill Switchgear earlier this year, as soon as I dropped into the building I heard a woman shout "Please help me I'm trapped". Then nothing but silence, checked the whole place and couldn't find anyone. Also the way we came in was the only point of access.
 
Great thread. :)

When having a reccee around the outside of Racal Electronics I unexpectedly found the fence gate open, so I snuck on site and started taking photos. Then I saw an open door, sidled in and was taking a couple of random interior shots when I suddenly heard voices and the sound of footsteps clattering down the stairs. It was a winter's afternoon, the light was starting to fade, and I panicked and shot out of there like a dingbat. Instead of running towards the gate I stupidly turned further onto the site...I think I was trying to hide rather than get away...when I heard my name being called. Bizarrely enough, I happened to know one of the blokes. They'd been moving the kitchen equipment out and were just about to lock up and leave. It's a good job I didn't succeed in hiding as I'd have been locked in, lol.

Three of DP's Plymouth boys and myself met up in Exeter to go on a permissive explore of Poltimore whilst it was closed. What we didn't realise is that a zombie film was being made on site at the same time, lol. No scary encounters though, because the owner told us about it when we arrived and told us where not to go so that we wouldn't get in the way. It was quite odd to come across a room full of zombies lying and sitting around having their make-up done, mind.

The funniest one was when I was at art college. A group of us liked to explore a few sites, including a beautiful derelict house set in the midst of an overgrown garden. This one lunchtime, we'd arranged to meet there, and myself and another girl were the first to arrive. We were having a look upstairs when we saw the lads coming up the drive. 'Let's hide and jump out at them' one of us said, and at that I ran into a bedroom, jumped behind the door and with a loud scream promptly fell halfway through the floor. After my friend managed to pull me out, both of us giggling like loons, we went back to the college. Seeing one of the lads we asked 'What happened to you?' to which he replied 'We were half way up the drive when we heard this terrifying scream, so we legged it'.

:D
 
Me and my friend we went to Murphy's machinery we were outside looking at the steam boiler trying to get some decent pics of it and this guy in a red car pulled up beside us right outside the entrance both me and my friend were getting ready to get out of there but then he started walking towards us and where we were there was no other way out so we just stood there and were taking more pics then he stood literally 2m away from us put his hand in his pocket and took out a lighter and his cigs he never even looked at us finished his cig got back in his car and drove off he even turned around twice looked at the boiler which we were stood right next to he didn't even notice us we even stood on a piece of wood and it snapped and made a noise me didn't even turn around to see what it was
