Thread: Bad feeling

The attic .....

So they pass up a torch and I have a quick nosey , all clear , and climb into the attic/roofspace . They pass up the video camera and still camera and both come up . By now the hair is starting to stand up on my neck but tell myself it's just my imagination going wild . It is also surprisingly cold for what should be the warmest part of the house , particularly as it was mid afternoon .
So my mate refuses to take anything except the torch , B takes the still camera and I am armed with the video camera .
So we start moving around filming as we go , and we all start freaking out , but don't know why . Nothing to see except what you would expect , just an empty roof with insulation and wiring .
Then there's a thump and B starts yelling Fuck fuck fuck . So mate shines the torch on him and he is freaking out big-time !
"Something just ripped the fucking camera out of my hands!!" The thump was the camera hitting the floor/ ceiling panels about five feet behind him in the corner.....
He's down the ladder in record time , and my mate retrieves the camera and we both bail as fast as possible as well...... Absolutely crapping ourselves!

The attic footage ....

So we all hot foot it outside and proceed to smoke ourselves silly on cigarettes trying to settle our nerves . When we finally calm down we check the camera footage ....
So we ended up with only around five minutes of tape from the attic , as we had run away screaming .... But that was enough...
The tape shows us clombing around , and the torch beam is an unmistakable dim yellow colour as the old bulb torches used to be , and you can see it shining around the space .
And then something else is floating/flying around with us , distinctly nothing to do with the torch or reflections etc .
It was a bright green hazy ball , I hate to say it but a tennis ball is the closest thing to compare it too , but not solid , and it was surrounded by a white mist would be the best way to describe it .
Now let me clarify that we saw nothing while we were up there . This was only visible on the tape .
It was several times brighter than the torch light but didn't actually light anything up in the roof .
And it was flying around us .....
But the really strange thing , if things could get any stranger (!) , was the way it moved .
It kinda elongated in the direction of travel to some extent and then the stretched bit caught up , like a cartoon , and when it flew around the mist trailed it like a comet tail , but when it stopped and just floated it was round and the mist surrounded it evenly . The ball at a guess was around 3-4 inches diameter with another couple of inches of the mist surrounding it .
So we got around a minute or so of this ball flying/ floating around in and out of camera shot , because of course we couldn't see it so didn't know we were actually filming anything . And then it shoots past the camera and that's when B starts swearing and the still camera goes flying ....
We are by this point true believers .
B says fuck this , it doesn't like me , I'm fucking going home , and he leaves , along with the cameras .
Against my better judgement , I promise to stay , I've still got two more days off work .
