Has Anything That You Illuminated Totally Creeped You Out??

[mikedeason]

I was walking my dogs in a rather large park just north of the city last night. This park has foot trails through the forest, which are rarely used in the winter, and open areas where people with dogs will congregate in the evening.

Being somewhat a lone wolf, I generally opt for the forest paths and while walking these deserted trails last evening I swung my flashlight to illuminate something that truly frightened me and still gives me the shivers today.

Diving for a drowning victim in our local lake one time around a year ago I had my dive light go out. While stowing it in my BC pocket I kept on moving slowly while I retrieved my backup light. I switched the second light on with the beam directly in the face of the victim at around 45 feet in depth. Scared the... poop... out of me. :sigh: Objects tend to sneak up on you while in lakes. Normally not the clearest places to dive in. Thought it was an underwater zombie.

Wow! Even that story scared me... Sounds like a dirty job (but somebody's gotta do it). I commend you and thank you for doing it.

I'm thinking two fairly ugly people "dogging" 😱 :sick2:

I caught a glimpse of myself one night in the bathroom mirror... scared me so bad I didn't sleep the rest of the night!

I'll bet it was a picture of the US congress in session.

It was Steve Buscemi.

I'm retired now, but I used to see nasty things with my flashlight every day. I was a forensic death investigator for a coroner's office.

Not me, but a friend was in a three foot high crawl space under a floor installing some wire. Relaying the story, Eric told me he always expects to see something strange before he enters a crawl space, so as not to be surprised. Good thinking right? Anyhow, he's under this floor crawling around when just at the edge of his peripheral vision he sees something hanging upside-down, at eye-level about three feet away. He shines his light at it just long enough to realize it's dead as fried chicken, then quickly looks away. I'm like, "What was it, a possum? Why did you look away before you knew what is was?!" Eric tells me, "I had about an hours worth of wiring to finish and I didn't want the image stuck in my head. I knew it was dead so I decided to wait until I was on my way out to take a good look at it." Turns-out it was the owner of the business cat. He was always chasing mice in the crawl-space and got his long haired tail caught in a tight place. Kitty had been there for quite a long time and was nothing but skin-and-bones. Eric left him there. I don't think he told the owner.

I was working in a hospital doing an hazardous material (asbestos, lead based paint, abandoned chemicals, etc. etc. etc.) survey in a wing that was slated for a full interior demolition prior to a remodel. The place was empty so we got to be pretty destructive with our sampling. We punched a hole in a wall and saw there was a room behind it that wasn't on any blueprints. It was an abandoned pathology lab full of specimens. It did not have functioning lights and we wandered around a room full of diseased organs that had been preserved in glass jars with flashlights. That was back in the day when Mag lights were the only game in town. My partner and I were the only ones in that section of the hospital. Our morbid curiosity made us check the place out. It was the creepiest scene I have ever been in in the dark...

This is a fantastic thread!!!

I once worked in an office with a room like that, only it was a server room that for some odd reason was walled in on 4 sides, has a functioning light and in all regards with a functioning server. It was found after the new server room suffered a breaker fault but a coworker claimed that the computer he was working on was still able to see the company website, which was hosted on our own server. Tracing the cat5s in the lowered ceiling sent all the wires into what we had always assumed as a wide pillar... it turned out being a room and the servers that were supposed to have been upgraded still running fine.

As for my own scare, I had checked out an wooded area of our lot where suspected vandalism took place last last week😡, one night a car rolled by, slowed, and stopped 😱oo:, heard some rustling in the wooded area then the car continued on 😱. This is odd because there were no other street addresses on this side of the road until some ways down. Some hours later it was dark out, knowing my own woods I trekked out in the dark, feeling the trees as I go. Confident no neighbors are out I turned on my flashlight and saw something wrapped in a carpet bag, as I emptied it out it became very clear by the smell and the size what it was, what appeared to be a decapitated animal and its head was, by the flashlight's light, staring at me eerily. I've been around carcasses before, but this caught me completely by surprise, and subsequently embedded it into my mind. The next day when I came back from work I decided to head back in there to see what exactly it is while there's still daylight and I couldn't find it again. The ground littered with feathers shed by fighting vultures, a week later last Thursday I went out and disposed of the carpet bag, which was stained but the smell was more tolerable. I never did figure out what it was, but the eyes reminded me of a husky... white ring black retina, could be because of the flashlight [Seraph P7 on an M3] and the hemoglobin drained head, but I don't know, I'm just glad it wasn't a baby
