We all love to hear other peoples’ accounts of the strangest things that have ever happened to them. Some of these tales are amusing, some just a wee bit odd. Some are vaguely unsettling, disturbing even, and remind us that for all our faith in a predictable everyday reality – the world has a habit of turning distinctly odd or slightly surreal every once in a while. And then there are the stories – best read at night, perhaps, by the light of a flickering candle  - which send a shiver down the spine and make you look nervously over your shoulder…

You’ll find examples of all these within these pages – from a baffling encounter with a man dressed as a giant rabbit to a terrifying run-in with a violent poltergeist. Not to mention accounts of hauntings, premonitions, time –slips, teleportations and weird old ladies.  And new mysteries are constantly popping up to surprise and spook us, like the numerous baffling cases of Dog-Headed Men and scary Shadow People that we present here for the first time. We hope you enjoy this latest bulletin from the world of the weird, and that you’ll find the time to share your own strange stories and uncanny experiences with us – see page 161 to find out how you can tell us that It Happened to You…
