Hi,
general: read the documentation on projections, be sure to know what
projections are and what they are used for.
specific: both your project and your data have a projection (spatial
reference system). Cases:
1) both match => you're ok
2) both differ => QGIS can reproject the data on-the-fly => you're ok
3) the projection assigned to the data is wrong (I assume this is your
case but without more info on what you do nobody can tell). Tell QGIS in
layer properties which projection your data is in (the prj and qpj files
do just that), then goto either case 1 or case 2
hope this helps

I create a shapefile in QGIS in CRS 3857. I delete the .qpj file and
load the shapefile again. The features then are placed wrong, the
Cologne Cathedral shows up in a lake near Duesseldorf :-((. So I reason
there is something wrong with the .prj file.
What is it? Is it a bug in GDAL/OGR?
Tested with QGIS 2.10.1.
