The first one, me and a couple of friends were playing in the local quarry/rubbish tip, just being stupid as you do one of my friends pushed the other causing him to fall over backwards, unfortuantly he happened to land in a pile of about 200 strip lights that had been dumped there.
Anyway for a moment or two non of us thought anything of it as the friend that had fallen got back up and seemed ok, but after that moment we started to notice that he seemed to go extremly pail, so went to make sure he was ok, when we looked at his back it turned out that the lights had cut almost the entire length of his back and there was blood everywhere, now the guy that fell was quite chubby at the time so this was deep and without realising he stuck his hand inside up to the knuckles at which point we screamed and started running to the nearest house to phone an ambulance.

About a month later a group of us were swimming in a local dam as it was a perfect summers day.
I dived in from one of the bankings but as i was gliding through the water, I was brought to an aprupt halt when I hit something solid, thinking it was one of my friends I turned round, didn't see anything, looked down saw a ghostly white face staring back at me.
It later expired it was a lady that had been reported missing some 3 months prior, well she must of decieded to end it all, they pulled her out and was found to have a bunch of house bricks tied to her ankles.
That face haunted me for ages afterwards and must be the grossest thing that I have seen.
