To this day I have gone back looking every year to see if I can see anything that looks familiar and never have. I went round that area it didn't seem big or wooded enough from my memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It defo sounds like that bit of the site from what you've said. Edited April 1, 2016 by eFestivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat2 Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 3 hours ago, shuttlep said: One year possibly ten years ago my friend and I were in the stone circle after a pretty messy 48 hours, we started to wonder back and found we had gone the wrong way. we thought we could take a short cut and ended up at a fence. we scaled the fence (it wasn't that big) and ended up walking through a wooded area. in the middle was a little village wooden huts and they had gardens. I fell over a few garden fences and slipped through gardens. I came to another fence scaled that and i was on the railway track. i was just shouting sorry as I destroyed peoples garden fences. please some one tell me this area actually exists I have done exactly the same thing, although my encounter was almost pitch black and I remember seeing a pond and a muddy path. I told my mate the next morning, it was like nowhere else I had experienced at Glasto, a world within a world, and really quiet, and a little bit scary because it was so dark and I was abosultely mullered I vowed to find the place the next day, with the pond, fences and paths, almost maze like, and wandered around the Greenfields area and eventually found where it was I stumbled around the previous night It was the Permaculture Garden at he corner of the Greenfields right next to the track, you don't notice its there at night its quite well hidden and really quiet Lovely place, one of my favourite areas now when I am hungover and need some peace and quiet whilst eating a pakora and drinking warm Stella That's where you were my friend, your experience was exactly like mine the first time I stumbled through that area !

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 The weirdest thing I've seen at Glastonbury was a bunny rabbit falling at high velocity to earth from way above, landing and then running off like a bullet. I was clutching on to the grass at this time trying not to fly the other way to the rabbits approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janaka Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Wouldn't say this is specifically the weirdest thing I've seen but I'm not prone to massively vivid hallucinations, even in my worst states, so wondering if anyone can corroborate if this tent was actually there or not... So this was 2010, in Shangri-La, and either Saturday or Sunday night (or early morning if you will) .... I wandered into a quite large enclosed tent .... and was confronted by what I can only describe as a WW1 or 2 hospital ward, with rows of old-fashioned iron hospital beds, with little tables on the side and chairs for visitors. There were some helpers that were helping girls get into all-white ye olde nurse's uniforms (no funny business, all above board and behind some screens) and blokes were getting changed into old-style striped pyjamas, getting into ward beds and then the nurses were going round with clipboards and checking on them. If I recall, there was no actual music playing, and a few people in old-fashioned military uniform jovially walking around and chatting to people. I didn't get changed myself, just had a look around for a few minutes, noticed the friends I walked in with weren't there anymore and went back out to find them. For some reason I've never thought to ask any of the people I was with (one being my sister) whether this actually happened or is all in my head - it's not something that has worried me and because it wasn't f**ked-up in the usual chemical mongy way, it seems quite a sedate experience and something I only fleetingly think about. I came close once to emailing the Shangri-La people to ask, but didn't get round to it. However, my 'memory' of the event seems far too detailed and unhazy to be a trip. Then I saw this thread and thought I'd ask some nice but completely random people if they also experienced this tent and could identify with this brief-but-odd experience.

I think if you combine that with your remote control unit then you've got the makings of a good bit of fancy dress - or the makings of a Restraining Order!

We've had a quick look for them every year since and never seen them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindles Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I also once accidentally stumbled through the permaculture area (2010 on the Thursday night) and ended up in a little pond. I knew there was a path through to the railway track, but missed it and somehow was trudging through the area they had carefully set up. A bedredlocked chap with a torch appeared after awhile and was very friendly as he led us out of the area we had probably callously trashed in our stoned meanderings. From stories on here I don't feel quite as guilty anymore, it clearly happens quite a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
