Mine was when I first started, had just figured out how to get a quarry to 64 x 64 and had mined a RP volcano for the basalt, and had spent 2 weeks building my first real 'base', having finally figured out how to completely automate ore processing and keep up with the quarry.
My friend who runs our server says publicly 'i think i found a ghast spawner in the overworld'.
It turns out that there was a mod installed that we played (better dungeons?) that spawned mini nether fortresses in the overworld, once you found one in the Nether. It was a bug.
My base was on a plain, next to a jungle, the fortress was in the middle of the jungle, about 100 blocks from me. it had spawned in the ground, so the top of it just reached level 64. So walking by the jungle, you wouldnt see anything unless you stumbled right over the top of it. Id been quarrying next to it for a week at least, but hadnt gotten close enough to trigger the spawners, apparently.
Anyway, this was my FIRST ever experience with ghasts and blazes, I had never been to the nether yet. I remember standing on the second level of my base, looking at the jungle and seeing these things flying around... and the *sound*. I think Notch's best achievement is the spooky sounds in the game.
And even better... my friends had all built quantum armor but wouldnt take off their jetpacks, while I thought 'well what happens when you put the whole suit on?'. Jumping invulnerability batman! This suit rocks!
Next day I told them I had 10 ghast tears, they wouldnt believe me.
TLDR: first experience with ghasts was in the overworld, afraid they would come and fireball my base and Id lose all of the work I had done.
Anyone else care to share?
