Your weirdest life experience

[Lorce]

Ok I know I seem to be doing alot of 'your weirdest blah blah blah' but I find these to be extremely interesting and funny XD so I dont care

Anyway, this thread is for you to tell us a story of your weirdest/funniest/most awkward/most random/anything really life experience that you want to share
NOTE: People will laugh at your pain here, especially if it's really funny, so if you don' want that, tell a story that you don't mind people laughing at.

I'll start:
_So there I was, on a nice sunny day, riding my bike up a pavement of a steep road with an incline of about 10% when I look to my left, and what do I see? This Oriental Asian man riding his bike up the road (much nicer bike by the way) at about the same speed as me.

We both lock eyes and without a word… START PEDDLING LIKE OUR LIFES DEPENED ON IT!! It was the race of the millenium, only with less special effects and explosions. As we reach the top of the hill, both at the same time, we nod at each other and go our seperate ways, satisfied with out personal records.

It was only about a minute later that I realised how funny and random this event was XD but I sure wish I could do it again nice oriental asian man, if you're reading this, hats off to you, I hope we meet again._

Well that's my story, yours won't have to be as dramatic, but do try to write it in a entertaining way and not just 'so I fell on my face… it sucked. the end'

Enjoy!

I was at mcdonalds at 3 am picking up my sister from a party. The drive through was broken, so we had to go in. There were a group of african american teenagers, the loud obnoxious kind of teenager, fishing for conversation or what have you. They asked if we came from a party and I, being friendly, said I was picked my sister up from one. He asked if I was saving money, where I said yes, which is why I'm not buying any, followed by a laugh. He got all offended, saying I was implying he's "black" therefore "poor" and has to eat off the dollar menu. My sister and her friend were kind of blown away and I just laughed at the ridiculous notion replying;

"Well if you want to jump to that conclusion so quickly, is there truth to it".

Oh, the glare. My sister at this point ordered her food, and the were pulling it out, where he threw his keys on the table, "Yo, you see this, these are keys to a 6 series BMW, the hell you drive mother f`ucker". At this point my sister grabbed her bag and indeed, it had BMW on the key. I pretty much said; "I drive and own a 2013 elantra, leasing out a 100 grand car is finacial suicide and at face value seems to compensate for everything uninteresting about you".

His friend were holding him back from essentially assaulting me in the most primal way possible. I would have probably gotten my ass kicked, but I guess luck was on my side that night.

[Smudger]

I can't decide whether it was during a shroom, salvia or ket trip, but yeah….it was memorable.

LOL

One time I was on the City bus and this old lady came on.

She had on a nursing gown and one of those paper cuff bracelets that you get when you go to the hospital. She also had a coffee cup in her hand.

When she got on the bus, she immediately started asking everyone if they had some money.

"Young blood. Young Blood. You got $5?" "Young blood. Young Blood. You got $5?"

She was coughing all over the place. I'm talking about no manners type of coughing.

Mind you this is the city bus, so casual riders are use to this kind of thing; however, things did get a little loud.

After asking us for money for like 10 minutes, people were getting frustrated.

"Look Miss. We don't have any money. Stop harassing everyone"

One guy in the back said "Man I see you on this DAMN bus every week asking for money. If you ain't got no money, where you get that coffee from?"

Everyone busted out laughing! Eventually she sat beside me asked me for some money. I told her I didn't have any (and I really didn't).

Someone finally gave her some change. And guess what? She asked that person for more money LMAO!

When she finally got off the bus, everyone was laughing again.

I haven't had too many odd life experiences, though I can remember a few:

I once was in a summer film program at UArts. I was working on my project with the help of a friend, making a dumb piece about a door to door ninja, which I filmed in my suburban neighborhood. Now, most of the people in the neighborhood were the conservative types you would expect to live in an upper middle class burn where most right angles were formed by colliding green lawns and stucco, so we mostly just kept to ourselves.

Now, I was filming a chase scene down the sidewalk, just one shot on a small stretch of road, when I noticed a woman come out of her tacky two-story to stare at us. I figured we were giving her a show and so I finished the scene, packed up and walked toward my house, which happened to be in the same direction. When we passed by the woman, she started yelling at us in fractured english, "ID. Do you have ID?" I tried explaining the film to her, but she didn't seem to understand. Instead, she reasserted her query "DO YOU HAVE ID? DO YOU HAVE ID?" Reason didn't seem to have an effect, so we said our goodbyes to her and moved along, just in time for the husband to come out and join in the staring. They followed us with their eyes, so my friend and I decided to walk past my house, which was down the street, to try and throw them off.

They turned out to be a little more persistent than we had figured and continued watching us several minutes later when we returned. Still, we figured we were safe and entered my house. It wasn't too much later when my parents came down to talk to us. My mom spoke, "The police just called. Were you filming down the street just now?" I got a bit nervous, but still explained the situation, figuring that I had done nothing wrong. After recounting my testament, I asked her, "so, what did the police want?" "They just called tell us to stay away from those neighbors. Apparently, they want you to keep away from their property and they sound like real nutjobs, too."

Of course I learned more about these guys later in the newspaper. Apparently, the husband was arrested for bear macing a few kids who he thought were biking too close to his car. The wife was just a Russian mail-order bride he took, I assume to share in his paranoia. Still, they hold a place in my heart as the first, and only people to have called the cops on me.

I think I'm going to wait a bit longer before unloading a radioactive spew of phychotic experiences that will forever scar the memories of the users that bare witness to it.

You mentioned something in another thread but you're Aussie too right?
If so nothing you can say will scar me.

[valiantt]

I doubt mine would be very interesting, but what the hell…I have a few minutes to spare.

A few weeks ago I decided to visit Japan for winter break. During the first week, I stayed at a hotel along the outskirts near Sapporo (Island up north). I wanted to get away from the city and relax at the hot springs alone to cool my head after a months of occupational irritations. The small hot springs town was pretty empty during the winter since the snow piled up to your waist and blocked off a lot of the streets and sidewalks. I managed to wander around town and take several good photos of the scenery. However, as the sun began to set, I encountered a "haikyo" (Abandoned ruined building).

It appeared to be a lavish 2 story restaurant with a large, rusted buddha statue in front of it. I managed to push through the snow and take a peek at the entrance. To my surprise, the door was open that led into the darkened ticket booth (why did this restaurant have a ticket booth? Well, you will find out soon). The floor was littered with paper, cracked bottles, and various knick-nacks. I was astonished to discover that most of the building was intact with most of its belongings untouched. There were jackets still in the closet, chairs placed in front of desks, calendars hung on walls, and so on.

Fortunately, since it was winter, there weren't any bugs around. However, I felt very anxious in entering the ruin. I stepped through the narrow ticket booth (avoiding the broken glass) and entered a sort of souvenir shop. There were several miniature buddha statues, perserved snakes in glass bottles, pictures, and so on. On my left, a dark passageway awaited me, but I decided not to go upstairs first.

There was nothing really noteworthy upstairs aside from a tattered suki-yaki restaurant (the ceiling was falling apart). I explored the restaurant for a bit and returned back to the souvenir shop. I then entered the dark corridor. The room felt very cold and I shivered quite a bit. Naturally it was winter, but it felt much colder than usual in the dark. When my eyes adjusted to the dark, I was startled to find a large group of stuffed seals staring at me. I walked around them and entered another souvenior shop, but this one seemed a bit "different." I couldn't put my finger on what exactly was odd about this one until I discovered a picture of a man pointing at two horses "being intimate." I was very confused by this since I didn't ever expect a restuarant (ordained by priests) with a buddha statue to have a such an unusual picture on display.

I shrugged off the strange feeling I had about this picture and moved forward. There were more stuffed animals on display. A lot of them were removed from their stands and buried under a pile of fake leaves. However, I was terrified to enter another room where an orgy of stuffed animals took place. It completely astonished me how graphic the imagery was. I never anticipated such a place in a small resort town along the outskirts of Sapporo. Anxiety started to swell up within me, but I persevered and took some photos.

There was yet another room beyond the animal orgy that led to a more ominous setting filled with promiscuous french dolls. The entire room was decorated like a gaudy carnival, but it was too dark to fully make out all the designs on the wall. There was a stairway that descended into the basement, but I was too terrified to go down (if ONLY I had a partner I would have dared to venture further). There was a pair of shadows in the dark with yellow eyes that gleamed at me from below. I scarcely made out a pile of mannequins toppled over each other, but I couldn't take their picture in the darkness (my camera's flash was not working).

Overwhelmed by the site, I decided to finally leave. Fortunately I have a lot of photos and a video recording of this restaurant (in case anyone is curious...though it is a bit graphic). After this experience, I pretty much had enough of Haikyos (this was my first one). However, I did run into two more ruins (an abandoned hotel and ski resort), but I did not explore it extensively as this restaurant. I wish I had looked more into the hotel, but I was too much of a chicken (especially after the restaurant).

[Cymelion]

O.o That sounds freaky as - chuck the pictures in double spoilers with warnings I'd be curious to see them.

[CaptainAppleJack]

That sounds like the beginning of a horror movie alright, valiantt. O.o

[EvoWarrior5]

i'd really like to see the photos and vid as well!

[Chrissie]

Oh Gosh I am curious toooo! XD Show us, show us!!

[valiantt]

Alright, I will try compressing them while I am at work and upload them in a few hours once I finish. I'm probably just going to put up the more milder ones (PG-13-ish) since I don't want to get banned. I took a few shots carefully angled for less graphic photos.

[valiantt]

Okay back from work: Mind you, some of the photos I took WERE graphic, but the ones I post here are about PG-13ish so no worries. I will put the unpleasant images in double spoilers in case you have no interest in seeing stuffed animals and french dolls.

!
This is the restaurant I found along the outskirts of Sapporo. As you can see, it is pretty dilapidated as well as relatively "gaudy looking" for a small town.
I was pretty hyped to go inside since this was my first time to explore a modern ruin. However, I was slightly peturbed by this:

Mind you, I was traveling alone so I was a bit hesitant. I don't know exactly what this image is supposed to be, but it looked ominous. Yeah…I know it is a mere graffiti, but it still was kinda creepy. Regardless, I decided to step inside (which for some reason, the door was unlocked)

This was the ticket booth office. As you can see, a lot of stuff was left behind. Although I suck at reading kanji (actually it is Chinese I think rather than Japanese graffiti), it is apparent that this restaurant HAS been closed for at least 1 year (though I am pretty sure it has been slightly longer than that based on the conditions of the building).


This is just the souvenir shop. There were a few pictures attached along the walls that displayed when the restaurant was opened and ordained by monks.

This is the restaurant on the second story. You can pretty much see it from outside along the row of windows from the first picture. I find some things rather weird with this picture. In particular, the ladder on the left (why was it there?)


So I returned downstairs to the souvenir shop and things took a weird turn when I went down another passage.

!
I SHOULD have been able to guess there was something up with this shop after reading the sign on the right. However, when you are enamored by modern ruins, you are a bit too preoccupied to notice details like that.
!
! Here is the picture of a guy…I guess pointing or whatever at the two horses. This is when it dawned on me that something was up with this place. However, my curiosity was still piqued so I proceeded forward. When I turned around, I was confronted by a family of stuffed seals.
!
! These things startled the shit out of me. I managed to recollect my wits and proceeded into another room filled with seemingly harmless stuffed animals:

! I then paused and noticed two posters which were…fairly disturbing. I kinda paused and stared at these posters for a few minutes, trying to figure out what in the world they were trying to communicate. I know the one with the deer has to do with masturbation and the one with the gorilla...err I'll let you piece that one together.
!
!
! After studying these two posters, I turned my head and there was a moose immediately in front of me.

! Seriously, this thing was standing DIRECTLY behind me and for some reason (distracted by the posters) I did not notice it until I tilted my head back. I nearly fell backwards and knocked over a table. By the way, this is where the "graphic" stuff shows up. This moose you are looking at is actually recieving a "rim job" from another stuffed moose behind it. The details in these stuffed models are…disturbingly detailed. If you really want to see these "graphic" images for god knows what reason, you can PM me.
! Then it dawned on me that I was among a stuffed animal orgy. (PS. I angled a lot of these shots to avoid the more...explicit parts of the stuffed animals, but I assure you that most of these animals had their "anatomy" intact.)
!
!
!
! Past this room was the odd "french doll" room. The passage led through a dark alcove so I was started to get a bit frightened (PS: I was alone and it was getting dark. Naturally most folks would start to get frightened after seeing a stuffed animal orgy in an abandoned modern ruin.)
!
!
!
! In the last picture, it is hard to make out but there is a stairway that leads into the darkness where I spotted several mannequins and a pair of eyes. I was really tempted to go down there, but I was too frightened to even consider it. This french doll room was pretty much the point where I had enough and quickly darted out of the ruins through the entrance. I can barely stay in this place for longer than 15 minutes before anxiety sets in. Anyway, I do have more detailed pics of the rooms (as well as a video recording) for anyone who wants them. Just PM me and I can send you a link. I will probably upload the clip today or tomorrow.)

Overall, ruin hunting is a lot of fun. I would LOVE to make a hobby of this if I had friends interested in it. There is quite a few notable ones I know in Japan, but it is utterly frightening to do it alone. This was my first one and I encountered two more after this (I actually have extensive footage of the abandoned ski resort in the mountain, but I also chickened out slightly due to some creepy noises). Japan is chock full of places like this and it gives off a real "post apocalyptic" vibe when venturing into these ruins. They're a lot of fun to explore, but real scary at times. It is hard to explain the sort of mood it gives unless you have actually been to places like this alone.

PS: Sorry for the double post.

[Pochipochi]

Holy shit valiantt that's amazing

I wasn't expecting such a great quality post from this

I'd ruin hunt/urban explore with you if I could, that shits great

[Archie Griffs]

That… really was an amazing story! I can't believe something like that is just waiting for people to explore.. that could be quite the hobby.

whaat! valiantt you get your ass up dem stairs!

Only thing I've had that was even close was having a bad trip after getting very sick and taking Mucinex and Delsym together. When I went to sleep, my brain replayed five or six dreams I'd had, with the oldest being one that was over ten years old. It was pretty nifty, but not that freaky.

Weird furry experiences time.

So about 3 years ago I got into the whole furry thing. My boyfriend at the time was into it and got me into it too. I even tried drawing anthro art for a while(but stopped since I sucked at it <- was getting better but got bored of drawing). I started going on IRC's Furnet a lot and made some friends there in the channel dedicated to furs in my region. After a while, I became chummy enough with some to decide to be willing to meet some of them irl. There's two particular meet-ups that were more awkward than the others.

-FIRST MEET UP-

This was the first time I hung out with furries(excluding bf of course, he's not involved with this tho). We decided to do lunch(or was it dinner?) together between my afternoon classes. Aside from myself, there were three others. One guy was driving us all, so he would pick me up at my university. Another guy would meet up with me there to wait for the driver(I didn't know this though, guess they made that arrangement while I was busy). I was just chilling in the parking lot while playing around on my phone and noticed some creepy looking middle aged looking guy. Seemed like a basement-dwelling neckbeard type. Once my friend arrived, said neckbeard approaches us and joins, and I'm just all "oh god why" in my mind. We both sat in the back seat, and he kinda smelled and talked like your stereotypical basement dweller. Also I thought he was like 35 but he turned out to be like 24 which wow'd me. Driver guy had a bit of a lisp, but was pretty cute… though he wore a Nyan Cat shirt and those athletic shoes with the individual toes.

For dinner.

I don't even.

So we went to pick up the last guy at his house. This guy turned out to have a really annoying lisp and annoying glasses and just overall came off as annoying and spazzy. So on the way to the Souplantation, we drive by a track team jogging without their shirts. Ooooof course everyone in the car kinda stared at it. When I noticed we all looked, I felt so awkward. Also basement dweller guy brought out his Souplantation coupons a few minutes later. I don't know why I found that so hilarious. I guess I always figured coupon people were old people and moms. Buuuut since the guy thought I was seriously cute(they all did, it was so flattering), he paid for my meal. I'm kinda quiet throughout the whole dinner, though they didn't mind since they know it was my first time hanging out with the local furries. Annoying lispy guy can't eat with his mouth closed. Driver lispy guy sat with me and was chatting with me. I think I still have a crush on him. As we're leaving the place, Basement Dweller decided to compliment my ass. I was fucking creeped out for the rest of the month. But yeah, they drop me off at my school that was pretty much that. When I got on IRC later everyone was asking about how I felt about the experience and stuff. Blah.

-SECOND MEET UP-

This wasn't the second time I hung out with furries, but it's the second notably weird/awkward experience with them. This was around Thanksgiving one year and we decided to go to Downtown Disney. This group included(I'll nickname them in parenthesis): Me, the lispy driver guy from last time(Nyan), his lispy-er annoying friend(Lispy), a newer guy who none of us had met before(Fedora), a stout guy(Stout) and his friend(Girl).

Nyan decided to pick me up from my house and we were gonna meet Lispy and Fedora at a restaurant near Disney. We ended up going to the wrong one though, and we kinda cuddled up outside waiting in the cold while calling Lispy. He also had me rub his thigh, not sure if he wanted me to warm it while on the phone or if he just wanted me to rub it. We met up with Lispy at the right restaurant and Fedora found us a short while after. This is where I start to feel embarrassed being with them. Lispy had a shirt on that had a bunch of rainbow colored husky anthros kissing each other in a rather sexual manner. I was about to die after seeing that in public. Fedora guy of course had a fedora. He is what you would expect from a furry wearing a fedora: a fairlyless awkward(but still awkward) version of a brony wearing a fedora. I couldn't understand a lot of what he said since he either had a speech problem or an accent I wasn't familiar with. Oh yeah, and we're eating at a restaurant called Molly's or something like that. Lispy brought a bunch of electronics to show us and was generally very loud with his voice. Food was bleh, but Nyan paid for me. He also made rawr noises when I complimented him and whimpered when I jokingly teased him. I'm pretty sure the waitress was a tad creeped out.

Skip ahead about an hour and we're at Downtown Disney. Nothing particularly weird at first, just browsing a book store, the Lego Store, and other shops. Eventually I accidentally got separated in a crowded shop. I called my bf(new one at this point) to tell him how things were going and he was laughing his ass off at me for going through with this. Finally caught up with Nyan, who had fun slapping my butt every now and then for the rest of the night. I kinda wanted to like that, but since I had a bf it was really awkward for me. We finally catch up with the other two when Stout and Girl finally arrive to join us. We're then all trying on animal hats and stuff when Nyan randomly shows that he picked me some flowers. He even stuck one in my shirt pocket and said it'd look cute, then gave me a big ol' hug. Everyone went d'awww except for Lispy, who was jealous I had Nyan's attention. I still feel awkward for wanting to enjoy that despite having a bf. Rest of the night was just wandering around through shops and stuff. Lispy kept making it obvious he was jealous I was the cute one. yadda yadda Downtown Disney was closing, I fell asleep on the car ride to my house. Nyan sweetly woke me up when we got there, I go inside to upload pics and post about it online while my bf is still laughing his ass off in our texts.

tl;dr furries make me feel awkward

[TheCrystalShip]

What is with the fedora stereotype?

I have to admit that I used to like the idea of wearing a fedora, but now I'm too scared to ever wear one.

[MetaMario]

Let's see…..

Well, one time on the bus, there was this elderly woman that was standing up, moving around. But the thing was, she was going on and on about the Bible and religion and "how the Lord will protect you" or something to that effect. Just nonstop religious talk. Now, while I'm not very religious myself, I respect all beliefs. But she kept going on and on and on......the people riding were either creeped out or were annoyed and kept telling her to sit down. Even the bus driver did so, I believe.

Aaaand another time I saw this one guy wearing a headband from Naruto. Like, the actual Leaf headband.

I've got more, but I need to think.

[TheCrystalShip]

And so far, the only weird experience was Valiantt's.

[MetaMario]

@TheCrystalShip:

I just read it…...yep, that blows everything else in the thread out of the water. Especially since he's got the pics to prove it. 0_o

@FelRes:

Furry story

What is it with furries and lisps/speech impediments/what have you? I don't deal with them often, but when you go to a nerdy tech school you're bound to run into one or two. The one or two I ran into were both incredibly lispy.

Do differences in speech make particularly nerdy people think "THIS IS NOT HOW HUMANS TALK SO I AM PROBABLY ACTUALLY A GIRAFFE"?

[TheCrystalShip]

@MetaMario:

Yeah, that was unusually weird.

Weird stuff happens every day, though. I just walked home, and as I was doing that, I saw a guy digging a huge-ass pit in his backyard, naked with a towel on his head.

[No Maam]

This is realy interesting. I'd love to have seen it myself.

Also why the hell did you leave behind that owl plushie ?

[Kaze]

Before my ex was my Ex we met this fellow who's name was brett, But we shall call him jerk face.
We ran into jerk face at a starbucks one day and he was playing the guitar with one if his friends (( that friend is now one of my very good friends.))

He asked if he could play my girlfriend a song for her and she asked me if that was okay and not thinking too much of it I said sure after thinking over a few seconds.
he sang the song , which wasn't very good but it was a love song and i didn't care really because I knew that she was mine. This running into one another at starbucks happened for a few more months and every time, jerk face would play her songs with me there; I got tired of them after the second time.

Sooner or later I had told her that I didn't want her hanging out with him anymore, and she said that she wouldn't and she didn't, but she didn't agree with me when i said that he liked her. WELL.

the day before my before my birthday she got a text saying that he was in the hospital because he might have cancer. So, she leaves the dinner that we were at early to go and see him, and I told her I would come after and she told me not to. I was confused and pissed, and still stopped by, 'why can't I go up there? wtf?' I thought.

So he gets out of the hospital, he's acting super weak and has a cane. He keeps having her come over and hang out with him because he's playing the sick card and I haven't seen her in about 3 days. and then I get word that he's going to confess to her at starbucks so I go up there.

So here he is, jerk face, at starbucks and and I'm standing there right next to him asking him if he's okay and he says that he's fine and I told him " look, I know you like her but she's MY girlfriend, so you need to step back. "he turned away from me and looked down and replied to me, " She deserves better and some one who can treat her right."

'WHAT? Run that by me again? Please.' I thought. Here I am, debating whether I punch him in the mouth or not. Part of me was saying, ' Fuck you dude, You're about to be a cancer patient with a fucked up jaw'. The other part of me was saying, ' He's a cancer patient, you're going to beat down a stupid kid who's ill and who could die from cancer?'

This shit is only found in movies and yet it was happening right before me and I didn't know what the fuck to do.

Luckily, I decided to just yell at him and told him that he needed to stay away from liz and myself. So, he walked away.

3 FUCKING DAYS LATER

Jerk Face is all better. ' Oh would you look at that' I thought.

He confessed to her and she shut the door on his face and told me about it the next day and I told her.

" I don't want say it but, -"

" shut up I know." she said.

Right off the bat Jerk face liked my girlfriend.

Do differences in speech make particularly nerdy people think "THIS IS NOT HOW HUMANS TALK SO I AM PROBABLY ACTUALLY A GIRAFFE"?

I'm wondering if I have a lisp myself now.

@MetaMario:

Aaaand another time I saw this one guy wearing a headband from Naruto. Like, the actual Leaf headband.

I remember when I was going to junior college that a bunch of students in an anime club would meet in the cafeteria where I would go between classes. I know one had a headband sometimes, and they once tried to roleplay the martial arts or ninjutsu or whatever(I don't read/watch it). It was painful to watch, but I couldn't stop paying attention. They were super into their anime.

[C_uggs]

- I was in the backseat of the car when the light turned red at the corner of a street, I saw a blonde woman with tribal tattoos ranging from the neck to the eyes, wearing a white baby lock, boots and fishnet stockings. The light turned green, and we continued the trip after passing by 5 crossings without a red sign at the end of the street, there she was the same person.

- One day, my brain woke up before my body, I couldn't move, but I was aware that I was awake, so I decided that I had to sleep more, so I went to sleep, when I woke up, everything was alright.

- I was expelled from school for stealing a chocolate from a girl.

- One day, when I was 9 years old, I saw with my friend a Orange UFO.

- When I lived in Maryland (USA), I saw a dead llama on the shoulder of the road.

- And I was expelled from the school in the US because I was very friendly (they said "Brazilian") with classmates.

- I was having lunch at a diner / playground for children. I was with my father, at the time I was 13 and was bald (by choice). When I started to eat, someone dressed as pink panther came from behind and started caressing my bald head, after that, the "being" stopped and walked away.

I'm wondering if I have a lisp myself now.

Perhaps, in time, a furry must earn their lisp as an angel earns its wings. But instead of preventing a man from killing himself by showing him what life would have been like without him, you have to pretend really hard that you are literally a fuzz-ridden not human creature or something. I am 100% certain that's how it works now because nothing else could possibly make sense.

@The:

Holy shit valiantt that's amazing

I wasn't expecting such a great quality post from this

I'd ruin hunt/urban explore with you if I could, that shits great

A partner would definintely make my urban ruin explorations more effective. For some reason, I would get a real boost in confidence if I had someone watching my back. It is far more intimidating alone (especially if you run into something unexpected like a stuffed animal orgy restaurant too). Normally I am not intimidated by much since I am a horror fanatic (I thrive on fear and brooding atmosphere), but this was a whole new experience.

@Archie:

That… really was an amazing story! I can't believe something like that is just waiting for people to explore.. that could be quite the hobby.

It is a pretty wicked hobby which is unfortunately difficult to do where I am located. Japan is a treasure trove for places like this. They got abandoned hotels (love hotels being really frightening), department stores, ghost towns, and even huge amusement parks (unfortunately there was a water park I was looking for but it was removed a few months ago). For some odd reason, these places are open and accessible. The challenge is actually finding them and avoiding potential homeless people, bugs, and local authorities. Some of these places have pretty colorful backstories (a number of them supposedly being "haunted").

@eerie:

whaat! valiantt you get your ass up dem stairs!

If I had a partner, I would have totally gone down those stairs (even if he/she didn't follow me down). It was VERY tempting to actually see what's down there, but I was at my limit. The French Doll room was by far the most wackiest looking so I can scarcely imagine what was hidden in the darkness. There was a lot of spots I had yet to explore in this restaurant (there were additional rooms along the corridor from the restaurant. I did not get a chance to look at the bathrooms. There was another passage from outside the building that led to another basement, but I didn't check that one out either). I stayed closer to the light in order to take better photographs. If I had better flash, I might have gone closer to the dark in order to take some pics.

@No:

This is realy interesting. I'd love to have seen it myself.

Also why the hell did you leave behind that owl plushie ?

It is tempting to take stuff from these places as souvenirs. However, I think that would not be too fair for anyone else who wanted to see the souvenir shop as is. I barely touch anything in these places in order to preserve it as much as possible. I suppose I am too courteous of an urban ruin explorer.

@MetaMario:

I just read it…...yep, that blows everything else in the thread out of the water. Especially since he's got the pics to prove it. 0_o

I have videos too. I am kinda stuck though in deciding whether I should edit it to blur out some parts or just leave it as is and upload it on youtube. The quality is pretty high so the images are really clear. I also have footage of an abandoned ski resort near Kyoto.

@tatermoog:

Valiantt pretty much won the thread already. Insanity.

Nah, I think I would win this thread if I found the actual locations/ruins I was originally intending to find. There were three major places on my list but were very difficult to find without transportation or in-depth knowledge of Japanese (as well as connections to particular people).

1.Russian Amusement Park (Niigata). Pretty much exactly what it sounds like. There is supposedly a Russian themed amusement park somewhere way North of Tohoku. Most of the buildings (hotel, museum and so on) and rides are still intact (also there is supposed to be a massive stuffed mammoth there). I couldn't find any feasible way to get here without a car. Though, even if I had a car, I still had no idea exactly where in Niigata it is located.

2.Mining ghost town. I forgot its name, but this one was actually accessible by bus (at least from what I read up on it). Unfortunately I did not have time to find it so I had to scratch it from my itinerary It is supposedly up in the mountain and nearly all the buildings are still around (school, temples, offices, so on). I would have spent at least 2-3 days here just trying to take good pics.

3.Black House (Kyoto-ish). Supposedly there are a lot of ruins nearby this area. There is a small, makeshift town called Jason Town that is filled with huts along the mountains. I read there is a connection between Jason and the happenings within Black House, but I could be mistaken since my Japanese is not very good. Black House is a small, dilapidated 2-story home up in the mountains/forest. Based on the pictures I have seen, it is in pretty bad shape and very…frightening. I managed to find where it was located on a map, but I couldn't figure out exactly how to get there (perhaps there is a bus, but I ran out of time to research it thoroughly). According to stories I read online, this place has a pretty nasty history that involved a kid(s) being imprisoned and tortured (but the stories about the place isn't too clear). Allegedly the place is haunted so it was one of my higher priority locations, but I was unable to find a way to get there. Instead, I ended up finding a ski resort which was interesting (slightly creepy), but probably not as interesting as the Black House.

Thanks everyone for the positive responses. I THINK I can top this one since I recently discovered there is an abandoned mental hospital in the town I am located at. Most folks I have spoken with are very hesitant in discussing it since the hospital has a real shady history that is kinda shrouded in mystery. Apparently, on the final day, the employees and residents decided to just leave the building without a clear reason. They just picked up their stuff and left; hence the hospital has been abandoned. I heard that it may be locked, but I'm pretty sure there's a way inside based on some small blurbs on the internet. However, I am waaay too much of a chicken to visit this place alone. Dammit I really need to find a partner for this one. I also need to find its location. Not too sure at the moment where it is.

[DarkFalcon]

I come across some peculiar or awkward situation from time to time. Staying in supposedly haunted place, looking for lost people in the middle of the night in said place, almost falling to cesspool, being left in the middle of nowhere with hardly any communication to outside world, taking care of extremely drunk people, there were also trips to abandon graveyards… but that's all not really that weird.
But my certain adventure have been both weird and heartwarming. It happened during my stay on Ukraine. We ended work on the site early that day so we've been left with some free time to our disposition. After shower and meal I've been invited by two guys to go to a trip to Moldavia. We've been staying just over border, which happens to be Dnestr river. So we took a ferry to the other side and then we got to car, driving to nearest town. There we went sightseeing and got back to ferry. Since we have some time left to the ferry we decide to go uphill and admire the view for a bit. A bit too long, since as you are probably expecting by now we were late for the last ferry.

So the three of us got left abroad, without place to stay and this time there was no car to take us to the town . I may add that neither of us knew the local language. Luckily in this part of the country many people speaks Russian and guys knew Russian. Unfortunately for me I don't (I only understand it to the extent, so I was able to figure out more or less what they are talking about). To add to this there was no language in which all three of us could communicate between ourselves - one of the guys had to act as an interpreter, so making decisions what to do next wasn't easy.

We leaned from border officials the there is a monastery nearby and maybe they would let us in for a night. We decided to give it a go. But we were expecting some problems with that. First we were afraid that they may try to divide in the monastery, since it would be improper for boys and girl to stay in one place - in that case we were to say "thank you" as we wouldn't agree on me being taken away from only person, that could understand me. The other problem was that guys didn't exactly like Christianity and wouldn't agree on taking part in any prayers. You probably shouldn't go to Christian monastery with one guy who has magical protection tattoo and the other who is a apparently shaman, some monks are not as tolerant and open-minded as others.

But we didn't even get to monastery. After getting on the wrong way, than back to the correct road we spotted a shop in which we decide to stop be, to buy some food. At the shop the guys, who have been consuming alcohol beverages for some time now encountered and befriended some old Russian speaking guy, who have been apparently consuming alcohol beverages for even longer. He decided he likes all Russian speaking people informed them that monastery is far away yet and invited us to stay by him and his family. Guys agree. That guy and his family started a party on or behalf. The one guy I could communicated with told me to stay by him, as he didn't informed our hosts that the two of us aren't native Russian speakers - remember that I don't speak Russian, like, at all. And on this party were two guys who were seeking occasion for a brawl. Yeah... Eventually all family assumed that me and him are a couple. There were some remarks I couldn't understood. Eventually we were retired from the party under excuse that I'm tired. The two of us has been taken from sort of garden where party has been taking place to this family's house. It was long way from the road in complete darkness. When we finally got there the guy, who was letting us stay for a night invited us to biggest room and told us we are suppose to use their (his and his wife) bed. And left for a party. Since we felt stupid to use their bed we used couch instead. It was supposed to stretch out, but it was broken, so both of us laid on tiny space - more like I had been laying on him (I wouldn't mind, I sorta had crush on that guy but it was just too hot). After few hours our host come back and tried to convince the guy I was with to sleep with me on their bed, since it was improper for guests to be uncomfortable. He refused, saying that I'm asleep. I wasn't, I was pretending. It was too hot. (By that time I was pretending to be asleep Russian girlfriend to be clear, which was easter than pretending to be awaken Russian girlfriend - I felt bad for pretending somebody I'm not). Our host left. Next day we found him asleep on the floor in other room.
Going back was pretty uneventful. We found our third companion asleep in those people's garden. And got horribly late for the work - the guys weren't in hurry at all (massive hangover) later the one, whose girlfriend I pretended to be came up with somewhat more colourful version of the story to excuse us (I felt bad for it too).
Somewhere along the way I came to understanding that they made us be late for the las ferry on purpose, because they wanted to have some adventure in Moldavia. Yeah... I was ok. with it though, they were really the guys to be on adventure with. In the end it wasn't that dramatic, although at some point we did wonder if we are going to be robbed or murdered.

Taking the wrong bus on my night stay in Athens and winding up with a night tour of the depths of the city with a bus driver who spoke and understood no english.
Ever seen Apocalypse Now? Remember the montage between Chief's death and when they finally arrive at Kurt'z compound? Of just spooky strange shit on the sides of the river as they drift deeper out of civilization?
Yeah that was what it was like.

[zachri]

When I was very young I decided to play hide and seek with my family whilst in this small place and I hid in a small boxed area sorta thing and I was bored so I was scratching at something.
Turns out I was scratching at a giant gas canister.
it's a weird experience because I could have died if I'd been idiotic enough to end up scratching it too much. Apparently. Yeah. Thinking that I could have died before I even got that far through PRIMARY..

[Mrs. Iceburg]

My story is not as weird as some here, but it is pretty memorable and it definitely weirded me out.

In 2009, I was on summer camp with our scouts group - now, set aside the image of earning knot-tying badges and singing by a campfire; we were just a group of 18-year-olds going on a trip together for some hiking, drinking, and hanging around in the sun. It was in the Czech Republic.
We were having a three-day hitchhiking contest, in groups of about ten people, and the destination of the first day was a rather quiet town where we had to find a place to sleep.
So after some trouble, we find a guy who's willing to let us stay in his apartment. Now a part of my group wanted to go out drinking for the night, but my friend and I chose to stay and enjoy our first indoor night sleep and shower in a long while, over going drinking in some Czech hole.
So it was just the two of us at the apartment, the guy who lived there left us there, because he had to go out for a bit. When he came back, he had a woman with him, who looked a lot younger, but appeared to be his girlfriend. So my friend and I start chatting with them, telling them what we were doing and where we'd been, etc. The guy wasn't very talkative, but he was friendly and listened to our stories. After a while, my friend asks him if she can use his shower, and he's okay with that. So my friend leaves me alone with the two. No problems there, we just keep on chatting, maybe a little awkward. Then my friend comes back and it's my turn to use the shower.
Just as I was getting dressed again, someone knocks on the bathroom door. It's my friend, and she's like "Hey can I come in for a second?" Since I was mostly dressed, I opened the door. My friend comes in with these big eyes and says: "They're having sex up there!" and I'm like, what, and she tells how they suddenly went upstairs without saying anything, and a little while later she heard unmistakeable noises. I didn't believe her, knowing my friend's tendency to misinterpret and exaggerate. So she tells me to come back to the living room and listen for myself.
Now this apartment had a rather strange structure: there were winding stairs in the middle, leading up to some kind of half-closed mezzanino, allowing you to see the second floor. And the door to the bedroom was open, you could just look straight in if you stretched your neck a little. And they were definitely having sex, fairly loudly.
So my friend and I stand there, whispering to eachother how weirded the fuck out we are and just basically shaking our heads. We decided to just go to sleep - we'd laid out our sleeping bags in the living room - so we turned off the lights and did so. After about 20 minutes, the two came down, and both left, awkwardly whispering "Good night" as they passed us by, and we did the same. And that was the last we saw of them. Always a good time when staying at a stranger's house.

[Gliblord]

When I was living in LA with my brother, he would tell me about the specter of the bandaged and bleeding lady in the window I have now deemed fit to call Horror Woman. Evidently, she'd terrorize him and his neighboring tenants with nightmarish groaning, and wait until somebody glanced in through her apartment window to place her hand on the pane and let the blood trickle down. I never saw her myself though lol

[Sniper King]

One day last year, I was just getting out of school and crossing the road. A kid, a stranger, about my age, maybe older, came up to me. Walked right beside me. This kid asked if I wanted to see something on his phone. A dozen thoughts went into my head like "Oh god what am I getting myself into?" I said "sure, okay". He pressed a button on the phone (touchscreen) and up came a video. I was so shocked. What's wrong with this guy!? Going up to some random person and showing this!? He said the dude he got the phone from left the video there. I was so surprised I couldn't look away. It was a woman fingering herself (or there was a man there, too, I think). I don't remember what I said ("WHOAH!", maybe?), but he turned left and I went straight and I never saw this guy again.

[Chocula]

This is mine: When I was 11 I was at a friend's birthday party. His little sister (8 or 9 years old) always popped up out of nowhere. I don't know why but she was really good at sneaking up on people and not being noticed.

After a while, she started following me around the house. At first I thought it was kinda funny how I always forgot about her and then she was standing in the room looking at me. However, after a while it got really weird. We were playing games and stuff and she would just stand in the corner of a room and stare at me for a really long time. One time, I went to the bathroom and she quietly opened the door and watched me pee.

The creepiest thing was how she wouldn't face me directly. She would always face the walls and turn her head towards me (which made it look even more like something out of a horror movie).

After the bathroom incident I asked her what she wanted and why she was following me and she just said "I want you to film me". I had no idea what she meant (remember: I was 11 and she was 9, so it wasn't something dirty). She didn't say anything when I asked her to specify.
I didn't even notice how creepy that was until recently. I just found it incredibly irritating at the time.

TL;DR: A creepy little girl followed me around all day and watched me from a distance (evenwhen I went to the bathroom).

[Mio]

Almost got bitten by a crocodile. Haha. Weird?

I was eight years old and we were on some tropical island for a vacation. When it was time to leave the island, we had to wait for the boat that would take us to the main land. I really wanted to pee and I couldn't hold it in anymore, but for some reason, the rest rooms are all locked. I was almost crying so my mom made me go inside an enclosed space which looked like an abandoned garden. After peeing on the ground, I saw something move on the corner of my eye. I got scared so I ran out of that place, and only then did we realize that it was the den of two young crocodiles. Oh geez it's a good thing they were sleeping lol.

Not sure where else to post this, and I definitely didn't want to open my own thread for this. Never thought I'd undress for a guy.

Anyways, this goes into some not-too-yummy details, so I'm spoilering this,
plus I advise girls to just ignore this post completely.

! This is about a urological operation. Yay. Story goes back until New Year's 2012/13, and this frenulum ripped open and I felt very, very weird about it. Shocked because of the pain, and that I've never expected problems, and somewhat ashamed. But I didn't want to have it checked out, I was too proud of that - and too afraid of a visit. If anyone ever encounters this, I advise you to go see a doctor right away.
! So, we used condoms from then on, and it got better, so we did it raw again, and it ripped again, and so on. For over half a year. I'm in a long distance relationship so it kinda healed up when we didn't see each other, and then when we did we had a lot of sex, which wasn't the brightest idea. To get to the actual point - I finally decided to see a urologist a few weeks ago to have it checked out. Never done this before, and it was the weirdest thing ever to have some other man look at my penis. On top of that, he somewhat reminded me of the doctor from the Human Centipede, which wasn't really a plus point, and being German makes it even more similar - but he's a good doctor. So, he had a look at it and said right away that there's been several tears and rips and so the frenulum needs to be cut open.
! 2 days ago I had the operation and got a syringe stuck right into my dick, which hurt like fuck. This was for anesthesia, but it was nothing like taking blood samples and things like that, it felt terrible. Try imagining the exact feeling when reading this, please. Sucks, doesn't it? Well, he then took a scalpel and started just cutting through the damn thing, and when he started I could still feel it hurting, which wasn't supposed to be like that. Numbness set in, but I could still feel "how it felt", not sure how else to phrase this. Like cutting through meat when preparing something to cook, I could feel the consistency, you know? Damn, it was terrible. He then took a weirdly bend needle to sow the frenulum together somewhere lower, and to stop the bleeding and help with the healing. I looked down only once and my whole dick was covered in blood.
! Next day I took off the bandaging and blood came out again right away, I was scared shitless. Saw the doctor again just to hear "oh that's normal don't worry." Now I have some awkward stitches there, it hurts, starts bleeding sometimes, I'm somewhat mentally scarred from these memories, and every time I get a hard-on coz my gf refuses to sleep by herself, and so she's lying next to me, naked, I risk that it starts bleeding again. Plus, erections hurt. And I just had to write this down somewhere to share, since obviously I won't tell friends of mine or my family, because that's just way too awkward.

So, yeah. I felt I had to share this, despite maybe not being the "weirdest life experience", but I needed to get it out.

The mental pain from that story makes me feel like vomitting - dude take care of it - you can't get a replacement.

! I know how you feel, damn.
I got circumcised two weeks ago, yeah the anesthesia is freaking fraking horrible and they do it like 6 times or more. Actually all you said except the frenelum part sound a lot like my operation.
I saw it all mirrored in the fucking lamp I didn't want to look but I didn't want to close my eyes either, which I did briefly a couple of times though.
The blood part is also the same, I soaked wet my clothes and bed a damn lot the first two days and I was scared of having to go to pee.
