not sure if it’s unprocessed grief or if it was him but i dreamt we were with each other. he seemed so happy & very full of life. we listened to some music, cuddled & he gave me a long hug. i woke up pretty bewildered bc it was very vivid & i almost forgot he passed.

I’m sorry if the question sounds rude. I’m just genuinely curious and I do not intend to be disrespectful. Anyhow, while the title says. I just know that if I had somebody in my vicinity die or bought for a haunted doll and I started attacking paranormal activity in my home, I would most likely dismiss it as hallucinations and delusions even if other people in my home also notice the activity. So how do you know if your experiences are actually paranormal activity?

Hi, before I start this, I want you to know that I believe in paranormal experiences but also I am pretty skeptical of these things. Also, I want to add that I’m an avid hiker and tend to do hikes by myself and have done this specific trail 2 times before. I pride myself on knowing everything that is around me at all times.

I would like to add I had a 3 gallon water pack with me and had already eaten lunch for the day. I am not anemic or have any problems with low blood sugar. And I was not dehydrated. I do not suffer from panic attacks or any other mental disabilities except for ADHD. 

Today I thought that I would go for an easy but long hike (12 miles to be exact). I had the day off from work and wanted to really enjoy it. I went to Jennings State Forest in North Florida, the Pioneer Trail to be exact. the first hour and a half was really calm. Not a lot of people out only passed maybe one person on the trail. 

I then got to the river that the trail goes alongside and chilled out there for a while. Everything was really normal. Birds were out and frogs were croaking as normal. 

 I then went up the little foothill (approximately 5 miles into the trail) and then all of a sudden I hear what sounds like tongue clicking all around me and the feeling of being extremely watched. Plus no more noise from the animals and the forest got really dense and dark. I did my absolute best to scan the area around me. No animals were visible or people.

I really tried to brush it off as the clicking had stopped. To add I do keep a firearm with me on my hikes as i am trained to carry. I figured if anything it was in my head and I was fine. So I kept pushing on because I really wanted to get the most out of this hike. About five minutes later, I found myself extremely disoriented, which is more than very unusual for me. 

in detail, I felt extremely clammy in the hands and all over. I couldn’t see anything in front of me. I was so disoriented. I grabbed my gun with my left hand (I’m a right handed person). I was very close to just ringing out a shot because I thought that this is my last moment here. The only way I can describe it was I felt like I was on the brink of falling into a dream or maybe a different reality. 

The path was extremely easy to see yet, I had no idea where I was and still felt extremely watched. I had to sit down or else I would’ve fallen over. I felt as though i had been drugged (which was not the case).

Then all of a sudden the clicking started again, and I became even more disoriented, couldn’t catch my breath, worse than any disassociation possible. I’ve never felt like my life was in more of a threat. I felt as though I had crossed over into a different place. Everything became blurred. The trees around me were no longer visible. All I could do is feel that I was holding my gun. 

The next moment I knew I had to leave. I had to get out of there. Completely disoriented I started running right back down the trail into what I thought was the right way. Since the beginning of my disorientation, I hadn’t moved off trail, so I had a pretty good idea of how far I had to turn to run back trail. 

I started running falling, tripping. Until I could tell, I got down the mountain. As I got down the mountain, I came back to my senses. I kinda looked at where I had come from and then I sprinted for another 10 minutes. I tried to call anybody I knew, but my cell had no reception. 

Finally, my phone connected, and I got in touch with a family member who I recounted the whole thing to. I was out of breath and in a complete state of shock. I spent so much time in the woods and I’ve never had anything like this happen to me. Never have I felt like my life was in such danger, my whole life flash before my eyes.

 I can’t seem to explain what sounded like (human) tongue clicking all around me. It felt almost hallucinating.  I walked it off, and once I finally got out of the woods I still felt loopy and disoriented. 

Any ideas? I have heard of missing 411 in the past and people said it may line up with that. Let me know if you need any more details or if you’re interested.  Thank you and sorry for the spelling. 

One afternoon I took my daughter, 5, to a different park than normal and let her play on the playground with a bunch of random kids. I noticed one boy, about 6, was dressed in tweed knickerbockers, and wore a newsboy cap. That’s odd, I thought.

The children played happily together until it started to get dark. Then the parents (who had been sitting on benches surrounding the play area) came forward to collect their kids. I was curious how this boy’s parents were going to be dressed. But the boy in the knickerbockers gave a cheerful goodby to the other children, and ran off across the park. He didn’t have any parent or chaperone watching him.

This was years ago and we no longer live in the country, but I haven’t been able to get him out of my mind. Why was he dressed like that? And where were his parents? What did I see exactly?

Can deceased loved one stay with you as an ghosts? And how likely it is going to happen?

(This is my dad's story) when I was very young, my siblings and I were playing with play dough, my mom was washing dishes and my dad was just in the kitchen with us all. Suddenly, everyone except my dad went into a trance, and play dough was thrown across the room and hit the wall. Still can't explain it.

Hi! I recently had the same experience again. I'm not really sure how to explain it, but I'll try my best for you to understand, and I hope some of you can tell me if something similar happened to you.

Since I'm a kid I've been susceptible to energy or whatever you'd like to call it. After I started living with my bf (who is also pretty susceptible himself), we've been learning more regarding the paranormal stuff. So for the last 2-3 years we were able to "feel" the atmosphere where we live if said energy was bad or spooky.

We think that maybe some sort of portal opens up and that allows things to get wild, as when we get that feeling awful things happen in our city (violent crimes, abuses, fires, you name it). I'll get into the portal thing in the next paragraph.

The first time I saw something weird I was with a friend walking my dog, it was almost midnight and we felt observed. We were at a parking lot, my dog was nervous, she was looking behind her all the time and she was silent, which is very rare as she's a Shih Tzu and God knows they're insufferable little creatures when barking lol. We decided to go back home and as we were walking towards the exit, we saw a polar bear kinda animal (?) it was big, like really big, the thing was extremely fast but it seemed hairy, white and skinny. The head reached the top of a car window nearby, and the legs were outwards, I don't know how to explain it but it looked like the knee bent backwards, it had a hairy tail, and the hair was silk-like. I didn't get a bad nor good feeling about it, I just felt weirded out, it looked like an animal, with no intrinsically moral compass. My friend who doesn't believe in paranormal asked me if I saw the same, and I said yes, which confirmed that I'm not crazy.

A year or so later, I was at my window with my boyfriend, we were drinking tea while looking at the moon and talking, the night was quiet and we felt peace, we were facing the same parking lot. This time the night was clear as there was full moon. Suddenly my bf points between two cars and says there's a big dog there. I take a look and we both realize it is not a normal animal, as it had a soft glow to it. The thing ran fast again, and disappeared in less than three seconds, but it seemed fatter than the last time. I told my bf about what happened with my friend and we tried to figure out what was that thing.

Last week, the atmosphere was feeling awful again, there was an increase in parano activity around us and we had to seal our home to avoid bad energies. We were out with our (now two) dogs, and our youngest started bawling, he was scared but trying to put a brave front, we looked in the same direction and the same animal-like white figure ran extremely fast, this time with no cars hidding it, the thing ran towards another direction (not where it ran the two previous times). This time we were able to see the animal closer, and the fur looked almost like feathers, but it looked like a mammal. I really don't know.

All of the times we couldn't remember the head/face of the animal, just the body.

We believe some portal opens up and allows bad things to enter this realm, and in the process some "animals" roam free.

Have you ever seen something like it? Do you have any idea of what it might be?

So to explain my experiences in my house . Moved into this cute little house 6 years ago , house is aged to be at least a 100 yrs old . Nothing out the odd or blue to begin with but a few years back the activity started up . Activity consisted of three knocks one was on the door leading outside from the kitchen , went to check and no one was there or around outside . Woken up in the middle of the night with a scratching sound or sound like something shuffling in corner of bedroom by the bed assumed it was mice possible . Then so forth I get married and the activity ramps up three people that don't know each other have stayed the night and witnessed a tall shadow figure come forth down the hall towards the living room late at night or moving room to room .

I had a perfectly healthy puppy die one night sleepy In a crate by the bed , the next we heard a deep growl sound come from my side of the bed by the night stand . Our two dogs have seen things and bark and growl at nothing in the bedroom . I've witnessed a door to a bedroom open with force but stop halfway open . Tennis ball and dog toys have moved or squeaked in the night with the dogs asleep in the bed . Doors being held shut or forced shut like a weight is behind them when trying to get in the house . Bible quotes plaquers have been moved off of shelves unto the floor .

My smaller dog has been forcibly moved from the bed by himself with out explanation. But the activity seems to only occur when I'm gone and settles lightly when I'm home . I've tried cleanseing the house and ask d whatever there is to leave it's not welcome . Using spirit box and recorders to catch what is there I've acquired voices saying "it's in the house " , "I'm eternal " or to go outside and find them . I've received voices saying portal in closet and spirits claiming trapped and there is two here . And names of a female named Kelly and a male named david . Have spirits claim to say "I want one " when opening my Bible to pray and also calling me a "pyhsic or guide when Im .

Or claiming friend to be called and "imbecile or idiotic during sessions of recordings. What ever it is it seems to fear me and nothing happens but loves to harass my family and dogs when I'm not home .

Any suggestions to how handle this or go about cleanseing, as there is no one local near me who deals with this .

So about a month ago I randomly started smelling a perfume or cologne in my living room and ot was really strong. I asked my wife to come down from the bedroom and she could smell it too. It didn’t last long and I just chalked it up to whatever. Well tonight the same smell came back and my puppy stared barking at nothing. My son came down a few minutes later and I asked if he could smell it and he said he could. I’ve never smelled a scent like this and both times it didn’t last long. This is too weird for me.

I originally posted this in physics, but they couldn't help me and told me I should post here. My wife and daughters and I went to watch a band in a park. During the first song I heard and felt like time was slowing down almost to a halt, only to start back up again. My wife was video taping on her phone. She saw it too. And we both turned to each other and said at the same time... "what was that?"

So.. I saw the video and at the exact time we heard the song slow down, you can kind of tell on the video and you can hear a blip and maybe a see a flash? I am totally tripping out. This has been bothering me since October

I began my IVF journey a little over two and a half years ago and went through four embryo transfers. The first three were unsuccessful.

A few months before my fourth transfer, I had what I believe was a visitation dream. In the dream, I was in a cozy, coffeehouse-like setting, talking with an older, middle-aged white woman with blondish hair, dressed in white. As we spoke, she kept telling me I was pregnant and that it was okay to wake up. But I resisted, insisting that I didn’t want to wake because I knew I wouldn’t be pregnant. The conversation continued, with her speaking to me in a firm yet reassuring way—almost as if she knew I needed to hear it that way because of how stubborn I can be.

Eventually, I woke up. As expected, I wasn’t pregnant. For a brief moment, I felt sadness, but that feeling quickly turned into a sense of excitement and reassurance for what was to come. A few months later, I had my fourth transfer—and it was successful!

That was the first and last time I ever saw the woman. To this day, I can’t help but get emotional thinking about it because the dream felt so incredibly real. I’ve never shared this story in detail because I wasn’t sure anyone would believe me, but I do plan on telling my two year old when she’s older.

When I was a child I grew up in a very Christian family. I use to collect crosses and other religious trinkets as it was a sign of our religion. My grandmother is also a deeply devoted Christian and everytime I'd go to her house she would buy me a new Bible or something that was related to God or Jesus.

I was maybe 8 at the time. I had just bought a new cross at the time and had placed it on top of the electric sharpener on a shelf I had.

I also was a very inquisitive child. I remember moving the cross off of the sharpener and looked at it and put it on the counter next to the sharpener.

I was looking through my things as I was going to try to hang it up on the wall. I was looking for push pins. After a few minutes the cross was thrown across the room. It didn't fall straight down, it's not like it fell off. As it went half way across the room.

I looked over perplexed. I thought maybe it was repelled by magnets. It was a brass cross. I kept pushing the cross up against surfaces. I was alone in my room and my parents were watching TV in living room.

It only happened once and didn't happen again. I was frustrated trying to figure out why it flew across the room. I figured if it was repelled by something I could find the source but I couldn't. If it was a spirit trying to contact wouldn't it do things repeatedly?

Hello all I wanted to come here for some outside opinions on an episode of what I think was sleep paralysis as a kid. The only reason I think it could’ve been paranormal is because even after I got up everything I saw was still there.

Shorty story: I was probably 5 years old and woke up in the middle of the night for whatever reason looked across from me and there’s a shadow on the wall, it was short and kid sized like me 2D figure wearing a cap. I remember being too scared to move and after around 10-15 seconds it laughs. That gave me the courage to get up out of bed and run towards my mom and dad’s room.

While running past it, it went from a smile to a more surprised look that I actually got up, I get to my mom and dads room go in between them look down the hall because I didn’t close the door and now there’s a taller 2D shadow at the end of the hallway at this point I should’ve woken them both up but all I could do is just cover myself with the blanket fully and shake in fear and then I woke up the next morning and that was that.

With sleep paralysis can it continue after you wake up and start actually moving. Was I experiencing longer than normal visual and auditory hallucinations? Or does it sound like I genuinely had some type of paranormal experience I’m curious to see what other might think

a few weeks ago I visited my bf’s grandfather. he is on oxygen and very very frail.

near this recliner that he spends hours at I saw this tall tall black figure.

stuff like this isnt new to me but the thing felt like lower weaker than a shadow person.

my bf had seen it as well on a different day.

i poured exorcised water and prayed where i saw it.

the grandfather is now in the hospital and he isnt likely to make it.

has this happened to anyone else?

For me it's videos where people lay out flour or salt on the floor and the video captured marks being made in them. I.e. things like footprints or fingers dragging or something, especially when it's a decent resolution. I've got a bit of a background in video editing so I know trying to edit that to look completely legit would be bordering impossible with current CGI (which makes them even more viable when they're older vids) and I really can't think of a way it could be done practically without any kind of evidence being present as to how it's done.

So I've had some previous experiences with some women i've never met or seen irl before and one with a powerful witch an old friend would talk to with me around on video chat but recently i've had my first encounter with someone i very recently met irl briefly. we were in the same... place together i'll say for privacy reasons. anyway she gives me her contact info cuz we had some mutual interests and keep in mind she has a boyfriend and i know she has a boyfriend and when i reached out to her i didn't flirt or disrespect her or her relationship in anyway and she even acknowledges this herself but anyways it was either before she reached out to me officially or like the night of i dont remember which but she visits me in a dream and is reaching out to me just like the witch far away from me did except things were a lot more sexual but it was also more of a spiritual she felt safe in my energy type situation. she told me in the dream her boyfriend cheated on her and she was struggling so we held each other and went on a whole adventure together at school/not school, in a storm, by bus/plane/not plane, at the end of the dream for some reason she was in a balloon and the person who greeted everyone from off the bus/plane/not plane when she got her the balloon popped and i woke up. some things i wanna know are A: what does this mean? B: would this be an example of astral projection or is the dream world completely different? and for a bonus if anyone could think of any reason she won't speak to me anymore but still connects to my energy?

Found myself in an extremely real, hallucinatory feeling dream about the future. Here we go: I wake up in a cold jail cell feeling room. Theres a small drab green curtain covering an open window without glass and the wind is blowing in. Theres a clanging sound and a guy in a black mask with a breathing tube is opening the door. All he says is “Its your day” and me and four other people, three guys and one girl head out into a hallway and the guy says “happy birthday” and chuckles. We move through a series of poles that are welded together like a carnival queue however we are the only ones in line. At the top of the room we enter a much darker room thats long and thin. A tall woman who looks to be in her forties is standing in the center and directing us to a series of computer stations, each with a strange looking chair in front. Theres a piece hanging over the top of each one and once youre buckled in the extra piece keeps your head from moving out of view of the camera that displays on the monitor. At this point i cant turn my head but i can see as far as my eyes can peripherally. I can see the faces of those around me and some are crying while others are just completely zoned out. We sit this way for about ten minutes as the tall woman and the two, lets call then guards, help her prepare for something. Suddenly i feel a tugging on my pants and someone whispers “do you want to come with us to the BATHROOM”. He says bathroom in a way that gives the word extra weight, as if its code for something. I ask what he means and he just keeps going. He has his hair styled with points in his, lets call them bangs for lack of a better term. Seconds after he’s gone the only girl who is with us makes the same move however she is well under five foot tall and has an adorably pointy nose and full cheeks. I cant turn my head for the next bit but from the noise im assuming that those two made it out the door and the tall woman yells “GODDAMNIT” then there are an excessive amount of gun shots and one of the guards states “neutralized” the woman then tells him to pile them up in refrigeration with the others, remarking hopefully that “maybe He wont notice”. The tall woman comes down the line handing out random objects such as ketchup packets and in front of me she places a gas station reciept with the number 001 scrawled in pen at the top right corner. (This is when i notice that its a lucid dream in the sense that i can feel textures and read both numbers and words.) There are three items on the reciept, listed just as sku numbers followed by prices: 1.43, 2.54, and 31.70. Suddenly the monitor flashes and a video comes up of a man in his early fifties most likely with short cropped hair turning gray and a mass of crunchy ramen noodles looking curls in the front. His face is very square and he wears a maroon velvet suit with a black dress shirt. I cant remember exactly the words used but basically he says that on everyone’s 18th birthday they are required to participate in a celebratory parade honoring the President. All you have to do is listen to the music and sing whatever is written on the article in front of you. All of these objects are things that have been touched or used by the President and we are lucky to be given this chance. So the video ends with “good night and good luck” and i begin to notice that my reciept is missing. I call the tall woman over and tell her that my article is missing and she unlocks my hands and says that its probably behind the monitor. So i begin to search feverishly for it and find tons of items back there, as if after each of these events they just push the items to the back instead of cleaning them up. Judging from all the items i found, this has been going on for years and years. The woman comes back and i state that i never found it and she tells me not to worry about it because im being taken to the hangar anyway to be seen by Him. They let me out of the chair and lead me into a long room that resembles a ski lift. Down on the floor, far away it seems i can see a warehouse with rows of people lined up waiting to start the parade. The President greets me and states that im very fortunate because ive been chosen to watch the parade with him this time. But not to assume much, as he will kill me when he tires of me. As he has been talking to me he has gotten closer and closer and now his hand is going for my crotch and the guy from earlier’s words come back to me and i say rather loudly “IVE GOT TO PEE FIRST” he gives me a knowing look and yells to the guard at the controls “Down! He’s got to piss!” The ski lift type contraption comes down to ground level i can see a woman in a bright green satin evening gown with a crown and scepter holding a script. The glass on the floor to ceiling window in front of her slides open and she smiles and waves at the President. He doesnt respond. The guard says “this way” and steps out. I say “excuse me” to the woman who’s sash i can now see reads Miss America. She doesnt respond, doesnt even move and i bump into her and she sways awkwardly. I follow the guard to the corner of the warehouse where theres a tiny cubicle with a toilet inside. I unzip and start to pee and the guard keeps talking absentmindedly. “He’s still going to kill you, you know. Sometimes he just likes to pick on someone just to see the fear grow in them. But dont worry you’ll end up strung up in the parade before long.” I zip back up and keep replaying his words as we walk back to the ski lift type observation deck. Thats when i notice that all of the people lined up in the warehouse do not have their feet touching the floor. And over their heads is something familiar: its the chair from before and theyre suspended from it, a tube from it entering the tops of their skulls. I csn see their faces in detail. Some of them are twitching, puddles appearing under each one. Above the former chair apparatus is a large series of containers of a viscous, oily liquid that i can now see pumps through their bodies, operating them like puppets. Theyre all dead, and some of them have been for a while. I recognize the awful smell that hit me coming out of the observation deck is decomposition. As i approach the window/door i can see the back of Miss America for the first time and there are pins all along her backside keeping her sagging, decaying skin taught on her bones. At this point i say absolutely fuck this and willed myself to wake up. Its not often i have dreams like this but when they do involve death theyre always correct. I honestly dont feel like this could hsppen in our lifetimes but it just felt very real and fully realized in an awful way. The faces of the people i saw at times resembled people ive known in the past but not closely enough for it to be them, just people who bore a slight resemblance. Idk maybe it was just a crazy dream but i wanted it down in a public forum so that maybe one day it will be relevant maybe.

a few nights ago I was falling asleep around 11o’clock pm and as I was falling asleep I could sense something or someone was watching me and I know it wasn’t my bearded dragon because she was sleeping and she’s a heavy sleeper and all of a sudden I feel a rough hand a sharp pain on my thigh like I was scratched it was red and the next morning I woke up with a major headache though it’s not uncommon for me to get headaches I also felt very very lightheaded and almost passed out my brother has waved to thin air before so I’m wondering if something is living with me and my family that we cannot see if you know anything please let me know

So 2 years ago, my cousin was watching a scary movie and it ended at midnight so his brother (my other cousin ) went to bed and my cousin locked the door so as he was about go to bed , the door suddenly started shaking so violently as if someone was trying to get in and he decided to record it and he did sent it to me the next day

In the video the windows were completely shut and all , my other cousins swore that it wasn’t them trying to scare them because in the video , underneath the door , there were no feet shadows so they’re telling the truth.

Now some years later when we visited him since he lived far away , he lend us his room and in the morning after waking up , I saw a small ghost toddler staring at me and walking away disappearing. I don’t know how I got through the next night after seeing that but that could’ve been who was shaking the door so violently.

I'm currently grieving but holding it together. It's not even the loss as much as being afraid where loved ones that die end up. If only I knew this, I would at least get some closure and deal better with the loss despite everything.

Does anyone there have any proof or suggestion if and why afterlife may be real?

I hate the idea of nothingness after death, it makes me afraid myself

(I'm a Christian but I know our stories are biased in these terms, even though I do and will always believe in God)

hi! so this is gonna be lengthy and i needed to get all this off my chest and really the only people that know about this is family. this all spanned between 2019 and now, we had moved to a house on a dead end road in 2018 as a result of family issues. everything was fine for the first year and a half, nothing too out of the ordinary. i was 14/15 and had my own room in the front of the house next to the front door, my moms room was on the other side of one of my walls but other than that my room was basically secluded from my siblings. during the nights i would hear scratching coming from the wall between my moms room and mine. we had no pets at this time and it would usually happen after midnight, i would take videos and joke about it. at the time my mom and i chalked it up to squirrels living in the walls. i've always believed in the paranormal but always thought there was an explanation for most things, and with not having any experience of my own it was easy to chalk it up to animals. there were small instances over the next year, my brother would swear whenever he came up from the garage steps into the kitchen that something was pinching him. we would laugh about it and think nothing of it because he was a small kid. when covid hit my mom had moved my younger sister into my room so my mom could move my youngest sister out of her room and into her own room, and when my sister started sharing a room with me she started to hear the scratching too. most of our experiences were small and only happened in either my room or the garage. one time i was doing laundry and came up the stairs to the kitchen when i heard and felt someone breathing on my ear, i freaked out and ran to my mom screaming and sobbing. i soon let it go and tried not to think about it as i would only get freaked out for nothing and wouldn't be able to do my laundry. however in 2022 after 3am, i had stood up to watch the second half of stranger things when it dropped so i wouldn't see any spoilers, and during one scene i was crying at i heard a little girl say "hello", it was clear as day. i hid under my blanket until the sun came up and i ignored it as best i could. i went back in the episode to see if it had came from my phone but i never heard it again. during this time our house was falling into disrepair. our landlord was a slumlord who only did cosmetic fixes and soon we had ceilings collapsing because of water damage, we almost lost our house twice to electrical fires, and mold was starting to take over. we became miserable living there and due to something happening our landlord had given the house to someone else who had wanted us out immediately. after we had moved in late 2022, me, my boyfriend, and our friends had gone back to my old house. since the house was so damaged and would be costly to fix, no one bought it and it still sits empty and abandoned to this day. when me and some friends went back we had brought a ouija board to have something to do and mess around, it was my idea and my boyfriend already had one his mom had given him. i had never used one and was skeptical on it even working in the first place. it was night when we went, there were 6 of us but 2 had decided not to play and to watch from the sidelines. we did as the rules said, but to make it interesting my boyfriend had wanted to do something he seen people do on youtube. we all took our hands off and he alone was controlling the planchette. he had covered his face in his shirt and we had a flashlight pointed directly on him so he couldn't see. he told the spirits to use his energy (a dumb decision that even i was iffy on) and he would move the planchette around and if it directly landed on a letter or number we would write it down. i had asked the questions as i was the only one to have lived there and my energy would be recognizable. i had asked how many siblings i had, and it told me 4. i have 6 siblings but only the 4 had lived with us during our time there. i asked how many spirits were there and it said 5. i had asked if there was a spirit of a little girl there and the board said no. then i had asked another question, if the spirit in the garage was bad, and it said yes. after that question we had closed out the game and all 6 of us ran out of the house and haven't gone back since. when me and my boyfriend had gone back to my moms house he was saying how he felt drained, he could barely keep his eyes open and he was so tired. we had brought the ouija board into my moms new house, and not even a week later my mom had put the crockpot on the stove. everything was off and she was planning on using it to cook dinner but somehow the stove had turned on and almost burned the house down as well and melting the crockpot so badly the bottom was a puddle of plastic sitting on the stove. my mom questioned everyone and everyone swore they didn't touch the stove. my mom had her own experiences with a ouija board and always told us she never wanted a board in her house, and when i told her i had brought my boyfriends one back she was upset and told me to get rid of it. however my boyfriend didn't want to and just brought it back to his moms house, i just thought it wasn't the board itself but something else, my boyfriend had asked them to use his energy so i figured it was more so that than the board itself. my family had paranormal experiences since we lived in my childhood home, although i personally never experienced anything in that house my family had, so this wasn't anything crazy and seeing as there was multiple kids in the house i just thought one of them were too scared to admit it. after this when i was the only one in the house i would babysit my nephew, i would put him down for a nap, put a lullaby on the tv and go upstairs for a break. i would hear the front door open and close and the tv would turn off. thinking it was my mom or one of my siblings i would go downstairs and look but i would find no one but my sleeping nephew who was just a little over 1 at the time. i would ask everyone if they were turning off the tv and everyone would say no. after i stopped babysitting it went silent, i had no more experiences and heard of none from my family. in late 2023 me and my boyfriend had decided to find a place to live in together. everything was fine, we heard nothing, until a couple of months after. we both like watching paranormal shows and i don't know if it played a hand in what happened but we were heavily into stuff like a haunting and paranormal witness. we have two bedrooms in our house, one is obviously our room and the other is my boyfriends music room as he's a musician. one night i had stayed in our bedroom with our cat, my boyfriend had decided to hang out with his college friends almost an hour away. i was doomscrolling on tik tok when i had heard his piano start playing from his music room on the other side of the house. his piano is electric and can only play if you flip it on and plug it in and i knew it was unplugged during this, so i immediately told him to come home and i pretended like i didn't hear anything. in my mind if i pretend i didn't hear it then it would go away. it seemed to work as i personally haven't heard anything else since that happened. however my boyfriend has. the first time he was taking a shower in the bathroom in his music room when he heard whistling coming from either outside the shower curtain or behind the bathroom door. we talked about it for a brief moment, as he thought it was me, before we ignored this again. the second time, during one day while i was at work and my boyfriend was home, he took a nap on the couch with our cat. my boyfriend can't remember any of the dreams he's had, but he said he could remember this one vividly. he said in his dream he was still laying on our couch, our cat on his lap, and the living room window directly behind his head, and he said it felt like an entire stadiums worth of people were running around the house. he said the house was empty but he could hear thousands of footsteps running all over the place, and when it quieted down he could hear tapping coming from the window behind his head. he said when he turned around he could see an old woman smiling at him, her face decaying and falling off. then when he woke up our cat was staring out the window behind his head. when he had told me this i had my doubts but he was freaked out enough for me to believe him. when we had told my mom this she told us it was because of the ouija board, that he had to burn it or throw it away and do a cleanse on him because something had attached to his energy. he didn't listen to her advice because he had already had his own experiences before he ever messed with one and it wasn't anywhere near us. we stopped watching paranormal shows because i was convinced it either fueled our anxiety or was helping in whatever was going on. the last experience we had was when my brothers had slept over a couple of months ago. my brothers are young and they like to roughhouse like boys do, the oldest had chased the younger one into my room. my youngest brother had hid under my blanket to protect himself from my other brothers punches. the way my bed was at the time if you had laid on your right you would be looking directly into our bathroom. me and my boyfriend were out in the kitchen cleaning up the mess from a game we had been playing with the boys when we heard my youngest brother start screaming, we ran into the room to see him hysterically crying and my other brother confused. when i had asked him what happened he said when he looked up into our bathroom from under the blanket he saw a tall woman with long black hair staring at him from the top of the doorway. with him being so freaked out, we had comforted him and took him out the room. although we haven't had another experience since, i always make my boyfriend check out the bathroom and close the door before bed. i don't know if it was solely the ouija board that caused all of this to take it up a notch, but i do think that there could be a multitude of reasons as to why everything's happened.

I’m new to Reddit. Any advice would be appreciated or related experiences 🫣 My partner experiences these “bad dreams” often. My presence oddly calms it but if i am not near it doesn’t take long for the “sleep paralysis d” i like to call it these awful nightmares. (It might sound a tad dramatic/odd) but imo he may need baptized idk🤷🏻‍♀️ I also hate to see him suffer. love him to pieces. But tonight’s episode for example, I was told to “tell it to leave when you open the door” as i was going to my vehicle. I stopped, Ofc I’m confused I’ve spent this time cooking but was nearby in case he needed woke up.
But 😅 when he told me that i immediately felt the presence/fear he was feeling? Almost kinda heavy. maybe im crazy! I believe in the spiritual world and know things can happen but I am stumped. Is he just dreaming or ?

But anyways back to my story, I was like … okay babe🙂 I walk back and say as I’m opening this door i tell it to leave and what not. Do the only things i know to do. So I come back in and he’s still awake-ish. I’m like, is it gone?.. He says yes. I did get a description from him describing a dark tall shadow figure that was standing on my shoulders. It was invited unintentionally with the intention of conflict. I’m not sure how he inquired this information from said shadow figure but please tell me I’m crazy! Before i go and douse my house in holy water🤣

We both are open minded and have accepted these terrifying/unsettling experiences but after the out of body experience and it was attached to me i wanted to find a place to get to somewhat vent, get advice, others thoughts / experiences?..

Any advice on how i can help my partner rest or maybe cleanse my home in a better way would be lovely. Ya girl is out of ideas.🫠

Mainly in the morning but when I wake up I hear what sounds like a garden brush on concrete (thats I thought it was my mum doing so when I first heard it but today it happened when i was home alone) if you've ever heard that but it's not cuz it's inside obviously and when I woke up I clicked my wrist and it's as if it heard it and stopped doing it to check if it did hear something it ranges from like a second to around 3 seconds at most and it's very clear as in loud so it's not just me overthinking and hearing shi (I'm wondering if anyone knows what it could be or has had the same thing happen to them)

Last Thursday, I received a parcel from eBay. It contained a few antique items: Wedgwood plates and boxes.

The next morning, on Friday, I decided to check online whether antique items can bring any energy into your home. I came across several articles where people shared strange experiences they had. Later that same night, from Friday to Saturday, I experienced something strange myself—something that had never happened to me before.

I woke up at 3:30 AM because I heard someone singing. At first, I thought it might have been part of a dream. But then, five minutes later, the sound repeated. The same song: "La-la-la, la-la." I freaked out because I couldn’t fall back asleep. I stayed still, trying to listen. After another five minutes, the song started again, so I jumped out of bed and rushed upstairs, following the sound to my child's room. My first thought was that maybe my child had left a toy in his bed and was pressing it in his sleep. But the sound stopped.

I opened the door to my child’s bedroom, and my heart almost stopped when I saw he wasn’t in his bed. I took a few steps forward and finally found him in another corner of the bed. I then went to the corridor and waited to hear the song again. Nothing. So, I went back to bed. But as soon as I lay down, the song started again. This time, I ran upstairs to where the sound had come from and found a toy in the bathroom.

I still don’t understand why it suddenly started making noises.

The next day, my family and I went out. When we came back, my husband asked if I’d heard any sounds from upstairs. He thought it might have been our dog closing the door. But that couldn’t have been the case, because I always make sure to close the door to my office, so the dog couldn’t have been there.

That evening, I listened to all the songs from the toy, but I didn’t hear anything unusual—no "la-la-la" anymore.

Now, I’m kind of freaking out. What should I do? I read online that getting rid of the things can make the situation worse.

I was a very paranoid child, I couldn’t be left in certain rooms alone and I constantly felt and saw weird things.

Some of my earliest memories are seeing hellhounds at the side of my crib when I was around 3 to 4. They were sleek and huge, they wore red collars with spikes and constantly barked and snarled at the side of my crib. They were extremely vivid and I remember being horrified, my parents are atheists and don’t believe in the spiritual so they always passed off what I was saying for nightmares or imagination but I was always awake. I often wouldn’t sleep because I would be too scared of my dreams. I don’t remember them coming anymore after I wasn’t in my crib, but(idk how related) I used to feel like I was floating in my bed every night, one night I just couldn’t float anymore maybe when I was around 6.

Along with the hellhounds, I heard heavy footsteps up the stairs every night, and I would close my eyes really tight and pretend to be dead or asleep when this would happen, to the point of holding my breath. I had a very strong image in my head of a shadow with a trench coat and a hat, only being able to see his glowing eyes that were usually white. If I looked I would see him or feel him standing in my doorway, which was right at the top of the stairs. He stayed for a long time, until one day I stopped feeling him…. I don’t remember if I started tuning him out or if he left, because I would still feel scary energies just not exactly him anymore.

My now partner was staying the night all the way forward when I was in high school, and my bedroom was now the attic….. (which was haunted and creepy in its own right) and we were sitting on my bed talking in the dark. My bed was fairly close to the stairs. Suddenly, they screamed and hid behind me, completely hysterical for a few minutes. They told me they saw a man with a brimmed hat at red eyes and he ran up the stairs and ran towards them. To this day they stand by it and say it’s one of the most vivid things they’ve ever seen.

I was doing recent research for fun about cryptids and myths and came across hellhounds and the hat man, I teared up the first time reading about these because it scared me so much and brought me back to these memories. Neither of us had known about the hat man prior to these encounters.

Does anyone know what this means?? It’s so creepy.

why do the physically seen ghosts chose to appear in our physical world , while every other human soul who has passed chooses to not stay in this world anymore?

I guess an easier way to ask, why do some chose to stay and other not? I was always curious about this.

I hear a lot of people recommend to people that they should ensure their carbon monoxide detectors are working before coming to the conclusion that what they they’re seeing/experiencing is paranormal. Im wondering how often it actually is the case where it’s CM poisoning? Do you know anyone who has experienced hallucinations from that?

When I was younger, I encountered two non-human entities. They were around 3 to 4 feet tall, with white skin and pointed noses. Their voices were high-pitched, and they were communicating in a language I did not recognize. Both of them were holding a basket together, positioned between them.

If anyone has any information or ideas on what I have witnessed, I would really appreciate it.
