Outer Limits - your encounters with the unexplained

[On the Left Wing]

So what's the weirdest thing that has ever happened to you?

My starter:

Was standing in a bar at North Bridge in Edinburgh the week before Christmas in 1996 with four work mates. Our conversation drifted to a number of unexplained deaths and mysterious happenings over the years in that particular pub and in the hotel next door. We traced through a few spooky events. One colleague started to tell the tale of a woman who had hanged herself in the lift shaft of the hotel a few years ago. Then suddenly another colleague yelled: "Nic you're on fire". I laughed thinking it was a joke. Then suddenly a number of people started yelling "fire". My back felt very hot!
"Get you jacket off now!" someone screamed.
I unzipped my jacket and pulled it off to find it was well ablaze.
I dropped it to the floor and stamped out the fire. The £120 jacket was ruined!
I then realised that the back of the jacket had brushed against a candle in a bottle on a bar table behind me.
We had drunk in that bar regularly for three years and it was the first and only time anything like this had happened!

You'll think I'm mad but...

After my dog died an old tennis ball he used to play with but was long long lost appeared out of nowhere and bounced off the wall in my dining room - on the anniversary of the day we brought him. This happened on two other occasions and another time my mum was talking about him and the TV switched itself off.

How can you explain things like that?

God that programme is shite! Strangely amusing at the same time though. Especially when they have live shows and people fax in there 'impressions' of the ghosts they are hunting...

Some people will do anything to get on TV

ok, im really not joking on this one.

queue x files music

i was doing my leadership training course at woodrow house in Amersham, that is a haunted place. ok i didnt believe in ghosts whatsoever, but this place had a really weird energy to it.

One day, we were eating our dinner after a long gruelling day, and just chatting and having a laugh, when suddenly one of the glasses on our table completely exploded, im really not joking it looked like someone had thrown it.

Weird!!!

Does this not give you a totally logical explanation for your jacket catching fire, or have I completely missed something here ?

Most Haunted is an excellent programme. How can you slag it off??!!
