Men in Black encounters

Hey guys, first time typing on here. I want to share two stories, the first is from my father and the second is from my mother. I don't want too sound biased when I say that my parents don't lie; however I have never caught them so just assume that they were telling the truth.

Mother's Story; my mother told me a pretty creepy story when she was in grade school at a young age.

One day these men in black suits claiming to be government officials came to her school in order to test the students of her class and others. The teachers complied but no one had made any call to the parents to let them know... they had completely been left in the dark. After a series of strange tests, my mother said that students were somehow eliminated from the testing 1 by 1 until it was just her and another boy taking another test. My mother always assumed she failed because the next day the officials were gone, teachers didn't talk about it and none of the parents had a clue.

The real kicker about the story, is the very next day the boy and his family moved somewhere far away.
Dad's story; my dad also had his own men in black story. His is pretty creepy too.

When he was younger (about grade 7) his mother worked a lot and he was often home alone. One weekend he experienced what he would call the scariest moment of his life. He was sitting in the living room when a car suddenly parked outside of his house. It was an old Cadillac not very peculiar for the mid 80's. The mystery however was the driver. An older gentlemen about 40 years old wearing a plain black suit, black fedora and leather gloves drove the car. At first my dad thought nothing of it, but the man had been there for a while and it freaked my dad out. He called his mother from work: frantic, but when he looked out his window the car and man were gone.

A few days later the same car returned and this time the same man in the black suit began staring at my dad's house for nearly an hour. The same thing happened, my dad tried calling his mother but by the time he came back to the living room, the car had suddenly left. Now here's the kicker. The car came back a few days later. Dad this time thought he'd try and get a better look at the licence plate. He went out the backyard and climbed onto the back of his roof, a part not visible from the road. He told me he slowly peered over the peak of the roof when his eyes met with the man in blacks's.... he had already known that my dad was on the roof. This time my dad was so freaked out he called the cops and his mother. The man once again left without a trace, and police found nothing. He never saw the man in black after that. He only remembered this 30 years later after my mom recalled her memory.

Whats the chance that both my parents have their own unique Men In Black Story. Also to add both these stories happened BEFORE the popular Will Smith movie titled MIB.

What do you think? Have you experienced anything similar? Or maybe you have a unique answer to solve these mysteries?

LOL, sorry got to laugh. We only had 3 channels too, because thats all there was.  Anyone with an atari = had more money than any of us on our estate.  Just shows what people see as poor. We played on the streets, that was our "toy".  NHS reading glasses, hand me downs, and second hand toys, at the most 2 christmas presents (one was always a pair of socks or a knitted jumper)  and you are telling me about poor? Crack on kid!

They did that to me and my classmates around that time. Think I was the same age. Can't remember what it was about, some kind of assessment thing I think, not sure.  I think they were testing for gifted students.

Hey, yeah, I remember those days.  Where's my MiB?  CTG must be bragging that he's/she's had it better than us.

In the 80's, way back before cameras were invented...? If it was so disturbing, why didn't he crack out the family camera - while photography wasn't quite as cheap and easy as it is now, virtually every family had a camera - it was probably one of the healthiest and most competitive times for camera makers ever, ranging from tiny compacts from Hanimex and Vivitar, through to the intense 35mm SLR battle between Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Minolta, Ricoh, and all the various larger and smaller designs from companies like Leica, Rollei, Kodak, Fuji, Mamiya, Konica, even Polaroid..  I could go on bu...

I've never had such an experience even though I've had some very strange things happen to me.  In the 1960's and early 1970's, there were a lot of experiments going on in the public schools.  Some of it the parents knew about (filling out surveys) and others they probably didn't know about.  A person can be experimented on and not know that they are (not all of it is  dramatic like taking someone away and tying  them down and forcing them to go thru an physical  exam).   I remember in middle school (in the mid 1970's) doing a survey about crime and whether or not a family member went ...

The last test we need to administer is an eye exam. Now, if you'll just look right here...

I was wondering about that to. Do they still do those odd tests where they shuttle the students to a white van and test which frequencies they can hear?
Comment icon #29 Posted by baronesslucy 9 years ago
I don't think Nnicolette that they do this type of thing anymore.  The parents would be freaking out today if their child came home and told them that this happened  (taken to a white van to be tested for hearing frequencies) and they had no knowledge that this was happening and didn't give their permission or consent. Most today probably wouldn't give their permission or consent   Back in the day a lot of things were done in school without the parents knowledge or consent.   I remember in 6th grade being taken out of class and sent into a room where a woman that I had never met who told m...

Something similar happened to my brother when we were young.  He was eight at the time. In 1982 my family was living along the Yukon River.  I remember this particular event very well.  Our school was two rooms and we usually went to school on Saturdays which was usually a half day.  A nurse came to our little village and conducted the basic sight, hearing and motor skills tests on all of us.  Strangers were rare, so I guess this is what makes it stick out all those memories from back then. A two man team giving us about a two hour test.  My little brother turned out to be the chosen one... [More]
