The House That Wasn't There
"I swear this is a true story...
My husband was carting wheat in the summer of 1994. He was outside Molong in NSW, Australia, and drove past a "For Sale" sign on a farm gate along with the agents details. Our 12-year-old son was with him.
On the return journey, they stopped, climbed through the fence and walked up the circle-shaped drive to have a closer look at the old house. He said he could see through the window, and found the old house had been abandoned.
On his return home a few days later, we rang up the agent and asked for further details about the property, as we were interested in purchasing it. The agent had no idea what we were talking about and insisted that he had no properties for sale on that road!
A week later, my husband and I drove to Molong to have a look at the farm ourselves. We drove up and down the whole road until we were almost to the next town. All that he could recognize was a water tank on the hill, a creek and some trees where the house used to be.
There was no gate, drive, real estate sign... or house!"
Dimension Shift In Hampshire
For anyone who does not know the area, it is mostly moorland/forest with horses and ponies roaming freely throughout.
My fiancé and I decided to visit the family and stay at their chalet for the night, since they were only one or so hours away. We did this and all was fine.
However, that evening we went driving around the area looking for somewhere to get dinner. All was fine at first, though once we began driving through the moorland and forest areas things got a little more spooky...
The road was not very well lit, and perhaps this is why things seemed distorted. For example, at one point I could see a horse walking the roadside ahead of us, though this soon dispersed. It seemed foggy, though I don't know if it was.
We were trying to follow our satellite navigate, though the roads seemed different somehow, which disoriented us. It was then we decided to make a u-turn, both of us looking for a turning point since the road was narrow with trees on both sides.
Soon we saw a graveled driveway leading to a house, and so without saying a word, my fiancé stopped and reversed the car and turned on to the driveway in order to turn around.
The second that the wheels of our car reached the driveway, the house and driveway vanished and in their place was forest land and trees, just like the rest of the landscape!
It was only then that we both looked at each other. I think I was the first to say, "Huh ?! I thought we were on a driveway?! I saw it!"
My fiancé was equally dumbfounded. "I know!" he said. "That is why I turned here!" We both agreed on what we had seen.
Allow me to describe: this house was medium-sized and had a large archway at the entrance, either white or pale coloured. The windows, if I remember correctly, were relatively narrow and uniform.
The gravel driveway reached out toward the road, and the border was marked out with wooden posts painted white with chain linking one to the next, leaving a space for the entrance to the driveway.
To this day, we still can't explain it!"
