To start things off I will describe the place where these events happened. Usually my computer room, which is a small squared room with my computer and desk on the left wall if you look into the room from the entrance. On the other wall there is a TV and a mirrored closet. Also, there is a very old clock that's been through some history.
One story happened with the old clock. This happened yesterday night while I was checking out some stories on this site. I was also watching some TV and listening to music so there was some noise. But none of those noises compared to the loudness of this next one. My dog started barking at it, too. A huge bang came from the closet. I was home alone with my step-brother and he heard it too. He came rushing in and asked what the hell it was.
I told him I had no idea and he said fine but he wanted to know the time so he could go to bed if it was late. I looked at the old clock on the wall and the seconds dial stopped. Then, something terrifying happened. A low but angry growl came out of nowhere. I of course thought it was my dog but she had her head cocked and didn't have her mouth opened an inch. I then thought it was my step-brother, Justin, was playing tricks.
He was frozen and was very pale. And that's when I looked back at the clock and the dials were turning. But not like any ordinary clock, ALL the dials were turning at once. The hour hand stopped on 6. Then the minute hand stopped on 6. And finally the seconds hand stopped on 6.
I then took the clock down from the wall and tore the batteries out. Justin took the clock and threw it outside, far away from the house until the next morning, today. Our parents didn't believe us. So we showed them the clock, but the hands were all put at 12:30. Justin and I both looked terrified. Our parents said we imagined it but two people couldn't have imagined two things at the same time.
Any comments on this would be nice. Thank you for reading.

My boyfriend had an analog clock hanging on his apartment's living room wall which had contained dead batteries for months. One evening we were standing in front it, talking, and suddenly the minute hand started turning very fast, with the hour hand following suit. We were stunned and couldn't believe it. At some point we started scrambling for his cell phone in order to video tape it. But it stopped before we could find it, right at 12:00. I don't remember exactly what time it had started, but after midnight. Probably around 2 am. So it went from around 2 to 12, very fast. Clockwise. Both hands moving.
I do believe in ghosts and spirits, but I would really prefer to find a rational reason for this. If there had been a surge in the battery power (I don't see how...), could that have really affected the gears in such a way as to make them spin so fast? We didn't inspect the clock before throwing it out that night (literally) so I probably can't answer questions about the innards of that crazy clock. It was a very basic, inexpensive-looking wall clock. Also, in this case, I don't think it could be caused by gravity as I saw suggested in one of the comments. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or have heard of something like this.
