The Case Of The Disappearing Joggers
The strangest thing happened to me the other afternoon. I was walking around the park trying to de-stress myself and get in some much needed exercise. Well, there is one area where the walking path curves around a small patch of trees and continues uphill. The trees are sparse and you can see right through them to the other side of the path so there's not really anywhere to hide...(see this is where it gets creepy.)
Okay, so I'm walking past the trees and working my way uphill. I glanced backwards and noted that there was NO ONE on the path behind me. (As all women know...even during the day it is imperative to know who and what is around you at all times.) Feeling secure, I continue walking until literally... 30 seconds later, a man comes running past me, scaring the shit out of me. HE HAD COME OUT OF NO WHERE! Seriously, when I checked behind me, I could easily see 1/2 mile out and there was no one to be had, I never even heard him coming.
I was a bit in shock but I just figured my mind was playing tricks on me and I continued on. On the second lap around, I reached a similar point and glanced behind me again. This time an older woman with a large German Shepherd was on the path behind me. I continued up the hill and glanced back again...but this time she was GONE. I literally stopped in my tracks, completely turned around and began scanning the area for her but she was nowhere to be found. It was like she vanished in mid air...CREEPY!

UFO's... It's UFO's
Whoa. If I was you, I'd choose a different park next time!
maybe u smelled really bad..and they had to run really fast to get away from you...
:)
how are u stranger?
fu
r u seriopus Linny? OMG that was freaky!!!!
Ok whether u believe it or not, I experienced a smilar thing...it was just a voice tho...in my house when nobody was at home except me...a lady called my name..na I wasnt hallucinating and neither am I mental.I really heard a woman's sweet voice down the hallway calling my name...I was shaken and was frozen on my couch till mum came home lol!
Could it be spirits?
Keshi.
Could there have been a very small, hidden, side path in that area?
Or maybe they were in cahoots... They went out there and hid, with the sole purpose of freaking people out.
Or were you a bit high?!
I'm with wrigley...Ghosts.
Something similar happened to me just once, but it was even more freaky and I can't explain it to you. Don't worry, you're fine. Just walk down that long tunnel towards the light.
do do do do do do do do do
(that's the theme from The Twighlight Zone, in case you were wondering)
:-) The guy was probably taking a leak behind a tree and then continued his jog thereafter.
As for the woman, hmm, a young actress doing research for a role, realizing she was late for a lunch date and hightailed it out of there at top speed...
Perhaps there is some kind of portal that leads to differnt time periods.
That is weird.
whoa ... I posted ... then the post disappeared ... and now it's back again
;)
Wow, that is freaky. It sounds like something out of a Stephen King movie.
lol Autumn so cute!
Keshi.
happy thanks giving
This makes me laugh because when i read your title i was assuming you went for a jog and somehow lost your jogging pants LOL....hence the lost joggers. Then i read it and was like "OHhhhhhhh" :)
Whatever you are on... share... :-)
(cue v/o)
welcome to the twiglet zone
strange things are afoot in the park...
people are mysteriously appearing and disappearing in an attempt to scare the unexpecting walkers of the area
will linny work it all out...?
will linny be the next person to dissappear...?
will those pesky, meddling kids work out that's it's old man wittaker...?
who knows...tune in next time to find out
That's creepy. Maybe TaeBo at home next time, hmm? :)
I used to run a 2 mile track that went through the woods, and it freaked me out everytime. Jogging trails through the woods are sketchy...
Don't go jogging alone, especially in a park. Here in Houston a few years ago, a woman was raped and left for dead b/c she went jogging alone in a park area. Take you sister along with you. It will be alot safer and you can have some bonding time.
My roomie’s squeeze just said the same thing happened to her. Someone she knew was in a phone booth behind them, they looked away for one second, and when they looked back the phone booth was empty, and he wasn’t anywhere on the street around them.
I have been trying to think of a rational explanation for what happened to both you and her, Linny, and I think I found one: worm holes. As any sci-fi geek knows, wormholes are little rips in this dimension that act as tunnels. You enter the rip and are instantly transported to the other side, whether it is ten metres away or ten countries away. Obviously the wormhole is somewhere in those trees. The jogger came out of the wormhole behind you; the little old lady entered it.
And yes, since I know about wormholes, I am one of the aforementioned sci-fi geeks. My particular poison is Star Wars in it’s myriad forms, Tolkein’s Middle-Earth, Stephen Erikson, Robert Jordan, and many, many other great writers.
I think it's an alien race who are taking our health freaks one at a time... at first it was the people who did Reebok Step... then Atkins Diet freaks and now innocent joggers. This is why I stay in bars or in bed or on my couch... they'll never ffind me there... they hone in the smell of nylon, sneakers and perspiration. Don't say I didn't warn you. :-)
if there were UFO's around, ask the park goers what day it is. lol.
That's a great story. Waiting for more. » » »
