I had one briefly and got rid of mine.
Hi all, have any of you heard of spirit attachment or had experiences regarding this?
I went to a hypnotist today and she was convinced my case was that of spirit attachment. I must say I can’t believe it after the session I feel lighter than I have in years, I’m not sure how long this will last. I hope it does.
Let me know your thoughts
My grandmother passed away when I was in seventh grade, and my grandfather passed away my junior year in highschool. My uncle also passed away in the same house. Now, my grandmother and grandfather both ended up getting cancer, which was why they passed. They were both nearly 80, so there’s nothing paranormal about that. My uncle was a drug addict, and he died from an over dose. Nothing paranormal there. He struggled for years.
Their house was never haunted, I never noticed weird things happening or anything of the sort. But after my grandfather passed, things got pretty weird.
We were packing up my grandfather log cabin and getting some of his belongings together before we headed back home to where we lived. This cabin was pretty remote, with the only neighbors being about a mile down a gravel road. Well all of a sudden, I hear my mom WAIL from the hall bathroom (the one my grandfather used to use- as he refused to use the one that him and my grandmother shared after she passed.) She sounded like she was terrified. I ran into the bathroom to find her sobbing and pointing at the clock. Well, the clock was stuck on 5:45. This was not a digital clock. It was a a wall clock, and it was still ticking.
I immediately went and looked at all the other clocks in the house (there were about 4 or 5) and they had ALL stopped at 5:45 and were still ticking!! There were no digital clocks in the house.
We then smelt a VERY strong odor of cigarette smoke (my grandfather and my uncle smoked).
It freaked us all out so bad we pretty much just left immediately. My mom did take the wall clock she saw first however, and it remained on 5:45 still ticking until the battery died a couple months later.
Has anyone else had anything similar to this happen? It still gives me chills to this day.
EDIT: I never actually said it, but my grandfather passed away at exactly 5:45 AM.
So we painted our drawing room to grey coloured it was pure chalk white so now whatever we write with fingers its visible hand prints and etc so basically my brother name was written 6 times on each wall we ignored it like any kid can write this or he did himself later we ask him he denied then we ignored this thing now last week at 26 november my sister named appear at the front wall with "1st december" then with the gap of 1 day my mother name was written we started taking it serious we investigated a little later we figured out its fr my brother's handwriting but hes serious af that he didn't do a single shit on walls hes literally 18 and matured why he'd do that after another one day gap it was written "written by "my brothers name" after another one day gap it was "revenge" on the top of "1st december" now today its "death" on the other wall. Lmk what kind of paranormal activity it can be.
So last night I was working out. Went downstairs to get a drink and came back up. The lights were flickering. I was by myself and afraid that if I went to turn the record player off the door would slam behind me like a horror movie. So I took a short video ran and turned it off and came downstairs and sent it to my husband. He said it was just the light going out. When I looked at the video there’s a tiny light and today the lights are not flickering. Have the video but can’t upload it.
I'll start by saying that I live in a religious family, although I've never been a big believer myself. I'm also aware that there are theories that children can see ghosts.
It all happened when I was about 5-7 years old. Every evening when I fell asleep I saw a black, shadowy figure of a woman. She had yellow owl-like eyes that glowed. And when I was on the verge of sleep and conscious, I saw her enter my closet and from there watch me sleep.
As a child, I considered it normal and never thought that I was in danger or that there was anything wrong. It was like that until I had my room redecorated and we threw out the wardrobe. I asked my parents then where the "lady from the wardrobe" would sleep. It was only then that my parents' reaction made me think about the situation. Because they asked in disbelief who was the lady in the closet?
She looks a lot like the shadow man, but I'm not sure if she is because he is described as a man. And I am 100 percent sure it was a woman. I also talked to someone who told me that it could have been "zmora nocna" , a demon from Slavic beliefs. (Live in the Slavic territory)
a little back story, i am visiting my hometown and staying with my dad who has two cats. one of my cats who’s name is merle sometimes hangs out in my bedroom and he hides very easily, most of the time revealing himself once im in bed and comfortable. well last night while in bed i heard what sounded like moving around in the corner of my bedroom, it was so obvious and loud and i immediately figured it was my cat, didn’t think anything of it. maybe 20 mins later i hear soft footsteps moving around my room, like very very obvious i wasn’t imagining anything and i still figured it was my cat. once i woke up this morning i scanned my room for merle, who normally would be itching to leave my room by now, but he wasn’t in sight. i get up and open my door and boom, there he is, sitting in the hallway, clearing never having been in my room all night. what the hell made those noises ??
Title abbreviations stand for Hutchinson Correctional Facility(maximum prison) and Kansas Department of Corrections.
Disclaimer: this story is my own, none of this represents the facility, department, officers/wardens or inmates of KDOC or any of its affiliates or other.
My two main personal encounters and I will include the stories with them. I was once a correctional officer assigned to the delta one cell block of the HCF. I worked nights so typically my interactions with the inmates was rare. Typically only dealing with those that had jobs starting before 7 am and then breakfast release. Delta 1 is a general housing block( or was, been six years since I worked there). And in this block there was about 6 regular encounters that happened every night, and several that were more occasional. I’m gonna select two. Both of these have been verified by camera, partners, or inmates or all three. The one most terrifying was was I believed was a residual spirit. The history story goes that an officer was killed by several inmates back in the 80s at around 5am (breakfast release was at 5 before later being moved to 630) each cell block at the time I worked had two sets of keys, most nights I ended up with both as my CO would dip out for hours at a time leaving me alone.
Every night at 450, like clock work, you could hear a set of keys jingle starting at the bottom (right side) of the cell block. Go down the block, up the open air stairs, coming back on the upper floor, loop around, go back down, and then come back on the lower (left side) of the block. And stop at the cell block control panel. Only on one single night did the spirit interact with the control panel, which he fully unlocked before seemingly disappearing. The opening of the control panel was caught on camera. And heard by myself and at the time my CO who was in the office with me. We were alarmed 😅. Luckily, none of the doors were opened.
Second encounter (of a shit ton)
Was more of a sighting than an encounter. Before I explain the story, let me describe the layout.
So initial construction of the winged HCF, left several cell blocks that were all 4 stories high with two sides (left and a right) of each story. After several falling deaths occurred, up dated construction split the cell blocks in half. Giving full floors to every two stories. So delta one was the lower half, and delta 2 was the upper half. All the way to the back of the cell houses were additional office space typically left for inmates to visit with various counselors and legal staff. Two of the offices on each side of the cell block have large single pane windows over looking the cell block, and at night this entire area is locked and secured, nobody is to go back there or unlock the doors for any reason. But it seems not all “guests” abided by the rules
Back in the day, it is said that one inmate who was visiting with a female counselor, rped her in the left side office. Then in a proceeding struggle with responding officers, the inmate perished. One of the older officers I spoke with said that the inmate was suicdal at the time. And it’s believed he committed suic*de by cop. He had crossed the gang he was apart of or something like that. Anyway, Every week, on Sunday, you could see the inmates full body apparition with time relevant clothing standing in the window, staring down the officer on duty…. For hours at a time. Banging on the glass or door, would never get it to go away. Very dim lighting and at the time, the office had been arranged so that a desk actually rested up against the window. As that particular office to that day, had never been used again.
Any officer that walked in, could see him, the cameras could see it from multiple angles. ( HCF has something like over a thousand cameras in active use covering, even overlapping nearly every millimeter of space in that facility. I have several more interesting encounters if anyone is interested, maybe I’ll make a part two of this post
hi! so, lately, I've been experiencing a lot of odd things, along with my little brother. for context, the way my house is laid out is sort of weird, you go from the living room to my brothers room and my room is IN their room and I don't have a door, I have a curtain. my little brothers bed is directly out in front of my curtain. lately, he's been claiming he keeps seeing something peeking out of my curtain. the way he described it was like this - "it looked like a like.. bald baby except it was an adult?" and to be quite honest, I'm not afraid - I'm more curious. what the heck was that ? what could it be ? and is it confined to my room or something ? I have honestly also seen something like this before. I've witnessed something peek IN from the outside. my room used to be my parents room and my mom claimed she's seen the same. I also have this large mirror in my room and I keep finding like, young child sized handprints on it from time to time. even scarier, sometimes they're upside down near the top of the mirror where no kid could physically turn their hand around to touch. I'm very sensitive usually to paranormal feelings, like, I can usually feel when there's something near me, and I don't feel that in my room very often. my room feels safe and has a comforting vibe to it. but anyways, any clue at all what could be going on ? its times like this I really wish I could just talk to them to find out what they want.
So i recently started to feel uneasy at times at my home. I would feel sudden drips in temps. Personal stuff being moved. I do live alone with no one that comes to clean house. I have been living here for 5years and only this year started to get the uneasy feeling,like something is watching me. I would be fast asleep and suddenly wake up feeling like something is watching me. Saterdag i was watching tv shows when i fell asleep. When i woke up where was a white mist standing at my bed side and it suddenly wasn't there, followed by running footsteps. So im i paranoid or just crazy?
i’m not a big believer in the paranormal, but for the past year or so, in the same area of my house, weird things have happened. I heard an urgent whisper of my name, twice. My dog stares at a spot near where this happens all the time, and my other dog will bark at this spot randomly when there is nothing there. I don’t know if i’m looking into it too much lol or if there could be something
Growing up I saw shadow people regularly. Oddly enough when we moved to a new house, they stopped appearing. Throughout my life I’ve had a few more encounters, but only in certain places. This makes me think that maybe there are places where the plane of existence are thinner. I thought they were evil or something like that, but the more I interacted with them, I realized they are more animalistic. Not evil or bad, just misunderstood. I know this sounds like propaganda to make these entities not evil. It sounds crazy. They are just like us. There are evil and benevolent entities. Just like people who can run the gamut. I’m not sure where they are from. I know they exist.
So I went to sleep at 4am, my LO was next to me and my fiance was sleeping too. I turned off the swing at 2am. It’s a plug in swing and the screen is touch screen so there’s so switched or knobs. I woke up at 5:45 and I had rain music playing on YouTube, I thought I kept hearing baby music but I tried to go back to sleep. I turned to the side a bit and my son’s swing was on, swinging at full speed, playing music, and set to 30 minutes. I know I didn’t forget to turn it off but even if I did, his swing cuts off after the 30 minutes is up. It was set to the 30 minute setting (there’s 3 time options) which has to be clicked when you turn it on. Which means if I went to sleep at 4 and it was off, it had to be somewhere between 5:15 and before I woke up at 5:45 when it was turned on. My fiance was asleep, he doesn’t do night shifts with baby, I do those. And no one else is in the house. I’m a little freaked out. I prayed before I went to sleep because I don’t really like the 3am hours which is why I didn’t go to sleep till 4, and sometimes when I pray that late when I’m spooked I feel like something can sense me being spooked and will mess with me. I don’t have occurrences often. Maybe a few a year but usually they’re obscure and could have another rational explanation but I don’t know how to rationalize this one and I really don’t want to throw out a swing that my baby loves plus it’s a nice swing and my grandparents bought it for him. Wtf is going on bc I’m scared lol I do have sleep paralysis a lot though idk if that would be related though, my nana sees and hears a lot of unexplained things too but I’m no where near her level
I've always felt strangely drawn to certain people and then shortly later they end up dying either they were sick or just accidentally. It's creepy af. Like I'll knock on my neighbours door the person will answer and I'll just get a weird feeling and then couple days later. Boom they died. What do we think about this?
Firstly I’d just like to state that I’m not a believer in ghosts. I’ve had a few weird experiences but have always sought an earthly explanation and normally can find one, but this one still is a mystery.
My grandmother died nearly 15 years ago. We were very close and I really was upset when she died, but after the funeral I soon got over her loss and although occasionally I would think about her I largely forgot her for the most part.
Just after she died my wife and I separated and I soon met another woman. One Friday night I was staying for the weekend at her place (a good 150 miles away from my house) and in the middle of the night I was woken by her shaking my shoulder and sounding very scared. She told me she had woken up to see a woman sitting on my side of the bed just looking at me. She was apparently glowing slightly gold.
I was very tired and it was the middle of the night and there as nothing to be seen so I just assumed she’d had a realistic dream so we slept on it.
When I asked her more about it in the morning she described this woman as quite old with a kiss curl over her forehead. But the oddest thing she noticed was that she kept touching her nose as she had a permanent runny nose…
This is where the shivers went down my spine. My grandmother had a kiss curl that she’d had since a young woman. She was the only person I’d ever seen with one. And she also had this odd habit of constantly dabbing her nose with her handkerchief. In fact if someone asked me to describe the two main characteristics of her (besides her humour and love she gave us) the kiss curl and nose dabbing would have been the things I would say.
My new girlfriend had never met my Grandmother and I’d never talked about her. So it seems more than a coincidence that this woman she saw could be anything other than her!
Any paranormal Christmas story’s out there? Just saw a girl say she swore she heard reindeer with jingle bells on her roof when she was young, but her parents called her crazy. But she said she SWORE, and was confused as to who was on her roof.
Then saw someone say that Christmas has some black magic goin on every now and then. So I wanted to hear any stories you beautiful redditors had
So I am a 20 year old female and this story happened when I was five my room had one window and where the window was there was a little wall and then a dresser I remember one night I woke up out of dead sleep and sat up and look at the window/wall and saw this glowing figure there was no features it was all green I haven’t seen ever again but it’s always been on my mind since then (anyone else seen something like this or know what it is)
Hi, new to the sub. Sorry, this'll be kinda long! I've always had a strong interest in the paranormal, due to something that happened when I was a kid. I consider myself an amateur investigator. I've technically been on 3 different investigations. But my first experience was with another team at an event, so I dont really consider it my investigation.
Recently I went to Virginia City, NV., and investigated two hotels. Gold Hill Hotel, and the Silver Queen Hotel. We didn't have a lot of equipment, and it was definitely a learning experience.
Room 4 at Gold Hill was something else. As soon as we entered the room there was this strong heaviness. We spent some time downstairs in what I guess was a lounge type area. We were using the Spirit Talker app. We got some relevant answers to our questions. At one point it told us to go eff ourselves. So we decided to go back to our room. As I stepped to grab the doorknob, the door opened. We talked for awhile longer with the Spirit Talker app. At one point the rempod hit green, at the same time the app said, look up. There was nothing to see but the green light. After awhile, it says, let us rest, so we did.
The Silver Queen room 13 had a different feel. Eerie, but no heaviness. We roamed the halls trying to get any activity. We put our rempod on the edge of the table right inside the door. We started talking with Spirit Talker again. We again got relevant answers. We asked, "Are you in the bathtub?" The answer was No.
Eventually we decided to try and get some sleep. Maybe an hour or so later, at right after 2am, the rempod wakes me up. It was going nuts, but didn't wake up my niece. I rolled over and put my arm around her and said her name, it was funny she like looked back at me like wtf, lol. I pointed her to the rempod. It continued going nuts, to the point I got up and reset it. Got back in bed, and it went crazy again. After a few minutes I wondered if it was the battery or something. So I got up and changed the battery. Back to bed, and immediately started going off again. That thing woke us up for the rest of the night. I only wish we weren't so tired, and had got up and interacted with it. As I said, a learning experience. We will definitely be going back to both hotels.
I now have a wide array of paranormal equipment. Including PS Device, Ovilus, tracer line, dead bell, phasm cam with lights, music box and the rempod. I think that's all. I lucked out with a very supportive husband who wants to fulfill my dreams of being a paranormal investigator.
On the 14th we're going to stay at The Padre Hotel in Bakersfield, CA. https://www.travelchannel.com/interests/haunted/articles/ghostly-guests-inside-californias-haunted-padre-hotel
In the spring we're going to stay in the supposedly very haunted miners cabin at Gold Hill for 2 nights. And then we're going to be locked down at The Old Washoe Club for the night.
If you've read all of this, I thank you. I live in Central California. Can anyone point me to any good haunts in California we can investigate? (besides the obvious ones)
It happened in my late 30s. I’m now 46.
I was asleep in bed. Nothing out of the ordinary. Then at about 2 am I was woken by a really bright light
I opened my eyes and because I had been in darkness during my sleep it took a while for my eyes to adjust to the light. When they did I was shocked what I saw
Stood next to my bed was a dark figure. He was less than arms length away from me.
The light seemed to come from its head. I could not see a face or any surrounding edges to a helmet or mask it was just this bright light
I remember the feeling I had at the time. It was pure fear. I have never felt this much fear I’m my entire life. I’m an ex police man and have done bungee jumps in the past. No situation I have every been in has caused me that much fear
I acted like a 2 year old. Now my heart was pacing at an alarming rate and I quickly covered my head with my bed covers
After about 10 minutes nothing had happened and I removed the covers from my head. The entity had gone yet I had not heard home leave.
I thought it was a burglary and rushed downstairs. Everything was locked and secured in the house and nothing had been taken. I didn’t go back to bed till it was daylight.
I woke up the next day and found that my eyes were still hurting from the light from the entity
People say it was a dream. Trust me I know the difference between a dream and reality. I could feel my chest beating hard.
My only regret is not reaching out and touching the entity then I would of know for sure if it was real or not
Thanks for reading
Back when I was younger I was At I think it Was A hospital and saw a strange building like wooden and with like 1 or no windows, something was off about it I was so focused on looking at it again but when I came back it had just vanished
I'm a 19 yr old female. When this experience happened, I was in my single digits. I believe it was 2013, so I was 8. I had just woken up in the morning, neither my mom or my sister was in the room, and my dad was never in the picture. I don't believe my mother was dating anyone at the time, and even if she was, I was alone in the room. My sister and I had bunk beds, and I always slept on the bottom. I had been awak for a few minutes, when I heard my name being whispered from the closet. The only thing I could say was "Who's there?". And I heard it whisper my name again, but this time it had gotten closer, and it was at my bed post. I had gotten so scared I grabbed my large stuffed horse and hugged him. I'm not sure if I had said anything more, but the voice whispered my name one more time, and it was right in my face. I started to cry, and I heard it say "Shhhh." At that point I jumped out of bed and ran out onto the back deck, crying for my mom. I told her what happened and she said it's just the wind. It most definitely was not! No amount of wind goes "Shhhhh." Or says a person's name 3 times as clear as day! I had gone back into the room with a little more courage, and I said something like "Hello?" And of course there was no answer. Now I'm engaged and about to have a child of my own, and I've told my fiance about what happened. He doesn't believe in ghosts. I'm religious but I don't really know if ghosts are real or not, but I do believe in demons. But when I told my fiance about it, he said I was probably still sleeping or I was half asleep. He's also said that it could've been my mom's ex laying on the top bunk or around the bed messing with me, but that dude was like 400 lbs, and ain't no way that bed would still be standing. Nor would it hide him from my sight. I'm not sure what it was that day, but that year my uncle had died, and my mother has said that it was probably him. But I don't know and if it was, why would he scare me into tears?
Pls tell me what you think in the comments, this experience has been burned into my head. That voice was so clear, it sounded like an invisible man was drifting through my room.
Thank you for reading, have a blessed day 🩷
I'm not into paranormal stuff, I don't even know what I believe in. My boyfriend's family's house is severely creepy, things move on their own and it happens so much it's just normalized. I always heard about shadow figures but didn't think anything of it, never expected to see anything like it or id be terrified. But I saw one there maybe two years ago. I just stared at it as it went into the bathroom. I wasn't really scared. More confused. So... Someone please explain what, how, why, anything at all about wtf that's about. If they're real, what are they, why are they just hanging out? I think about it occasionally but this subreddit was on my timeline and made me think about it. Unfortunately it's 1 am and pitch dark and I hate that I'm thinking about it again
I was around the age of 14 when this story happed. I’m about to turn 37 now so it’s been a few years to say the least, but some memories will never fade in detail.
I had left my room to go to the kitchen because my mother had called me for something. I closed the door behind me before I left and the door was still closed when I returned. Before leaving the room I was sitting on my twin sized bed and listening to music. I’m pretty sure KoRn was playing on the radio. I listened to a lot of KoRn at that time. Anyway, when I retuned to the room and opened the door I witnessed something that my brain has yet to comprehend. The foot of my bed was levitating about 2 feet up in the air. About 1/2 a second after I walked in it came crashing down with a loud thud noise. I could hear that spring noise from the internal springs being bent and then released.
The way the room was positioned. Imagine I open the door and my bed is directly in view just slightly to the right. It was a small apartment with small rooms so everything was close. The light was on.
The mattress was bent at the left foot. There wasn’t a bed frame with headboard or anything, just the floor rails that lifted the bed about 6 inches off the ground, and a boxspring.
After I stopped panicking for a moment I did the rational thing and tried to make it happen again. I sat on the bed on the side so that an imprint could be made, got up, closed the door behind me and then quickly opened the door to create a bit of wind. Nope, not even a flinch from the bed. Several attempts, and I never even got close to recreating this phenomenon.
This never happened again. The image in of my mattress being folded up on its own and that sound of a mattress falling back down will never leave my brain. Craziest memory I have.
I live in an apartment building complex built in the early 60s, and have lived here for about 2 years now. Since I’ve lived here, off and on in bed and barely awake, I would sometimes feel a sensation on my foot, or I would dream of one of my dogs that had passed, and feel the sensation of an animal at my feet. Very brief. Very, very few and far in between.
This past Thanksgiving Thursday, after I was safely driven home from my parents after drinking not nearly as much to get drunk in my 30s nowadays, I sleepily started to drift off in bed to send a text when suddenly I felt this tickling “whoosh,” of air across my face as that sensation followed and settled at my feet. In my mind’s eye, and gut, I knew it was a cat. Could I have been hallucinating, you ask? If I wasn’t sober then, I was at that moment. Lying on my back, there was this weird pressure, and even slight warmth on my stomach, almost as if a cat’s weight was indented there, but you can’t see it. Then the sensation of what I assume a cat, “making biscuits” feels like. Like two tiny paws going back and forth making that motion. The whole thing freaked me out, actually, and I think I psyched myself out on what it could possibly be if it wasn’t what I thought it was, and what it wanted. It was widespread too, as if there were two of them. Freaked out, and sleepless, I tried sleeping on my living room sofa. With no luck, the phenomenon followed.
Turns out the next morning, as I found myself napping in the middle of the afternoon to catch up on lost sleep, it happened again. As I laid on my back, again the weird pressure, heat, and tickling sensation by my legs took to my face, as I felt another of its “body” inch towards my face.
I feel very lucky to experience this frequent love and feel protected in a way even. I’d be ok with it if they just rested or jumped back off me and the bed. But these sensations make my muscles twitch and my hair stand on end. It happens every day now, every time I lay back down on the bed (and sofa), …and I’m completely sober. So it’s apparent that if it is a pair of cats as I assume it is, they are suddenly very active, and very attracted to my life force. I’ve always wanted a cat after all.
My mother came over to the apartment for a visit to check it out for herself yesterday. We both got under the covers, giggled over the absurdity, as I assured her that it happens pretty quickly after you settle in, and lo and behold, she said calmly, “I feel a weight and a warmth.” Being fans of the paranormal, I knew she wouldn’t be scared. I was just really relieved and validated today that I wasn’t the only one experiencing what I felt!
First post here, and my first experience. I was only 12 years old when this happened but I remember it so vividly because it still freaks me out to this day. So to start off I think every brother bond likes to prank each other, so one day I decided to hide behind the bathroom door so when my brother walked in to take his shower I would jump out from behind the door and scare him. I would know he was coming in behind since the door was pushed back, I had a little thin opening I could see out of. Then suddenly I see a black figure running to right which was my parents room and suddenly I jump out of my hiding spot hoping to scare my brother. However after I look into my parent’s dark room on the right, I look to my left and see that my brother was still in his room on the left. Everybody else was in the living room so to this day there truly is no other explanation.
When I was 22 my dad wanted to take me on the same drive as he took my other siblings. It was through the good ol town Hornitos in California. You can look this town up, it’s historical and creepy. Population of 50 something people. He wanted to show me the old cemetery at the top of the hill. If you’ve been there, you know this spot. We walked around the graveyard, just admiring the historical reality, when we walked passed a woman’s grave. I heard a very calm, distinct groan of a woman. My dad had flinched the exact same time I heard it, looking around. I asked him if he heard that and he mimicked the same exact sound I heard. It was absolutely insane, we both heard it at the same time. Mind you this town is silent as can be, you’ll be glad to hear a damn cow. We continued walking around, investigating at this point. A sudden chill came up and we both were just utterly uncomfortable and decided to leave but we talked about it the whole way home. We heard the same voice, the same sound. We agreed it felt like we were being watched. To add onto this, one of my friends had went there to take photos of the town and abandoned buildings. What he caught on camera frightened me so deeply, I want to ask him for the photo to share on here.
I have a very clear memories, as clear as any of the others whirling around in my skull. I don't know if these memories originate from some forgotten movie I watched as a child, but this is doubtful because these memories are detailed and certain smells trigger them. It begins as I pull up to a brownstone house, in what I believe to be Detroit Michigan. This is odd as I have only been to Detroit once, and basically just drove through. I pull up at the house and go in, it's new years eve, I dont know the year but I assume by the vehicles parked along the street to be sometime in the 1930's. As I walk in children are running around, inside the door I am looking at a staircase of dark stained wood, I smell food cooking, and someone unseen smokes a pipe (cherry tobacco). To my left the vestibule is separated from the main room by a 3 piece door. There is stained glass in the door and 2 stained panels on each side. The door is propped open, and the living room is crowded with men and women dressed in suits and dresses. The men sit around on the couch's and stand around the room talking, smoking and laughing occasionally. The ladies are all involved in the in and outs of helping the host prepare for the gathering, and there is a general buzz of activity going on around me. I don't know anyone, and am dressed more casually than all of them, and feel a little ashamed. That's when a voice draws my attention to the staircase where the most beautiful woman I had ever saw comes gracefully gliding down from the upper floor. She sees me and smiles, and I smile too. That's it. There is a brief memory of walking outside onto the front stoop and looking down the road where 3 blocks or so, is all that separates this idealistic residential street, with it's large shade trees lining either side, from a heavy industrial section with smoke stacks rising up here and there, but on this day the factories set empty, andbtraffic is light, i assume for the holiday. If you are from Detroit and any of this lights a candle in your mind I would love to know the street name. I believe this marked my first date with my wife. Or his wife I guess, or it's just information drove into my mind at a time when it was first developing. I don't know, but when these memories are triggered, they feel as real and fresh as any I others I have. I am not sure what to believe on the subject of reincarnation, but if it turns out to be true, I know where I spent one new years eve, many years ago.
My BF just told me this happened, and he said it happened within the last week. Our house is haunted but this is freaking me out.
I usually sleep on my left side, and facing away from him in bed. On one night in particular, I’d fallen asleep facing him while he was awake on his phone. He sat up for a moment and looked at me, before realizing my eyes were wide open and I was trying to mouth something to him. He kept asking what? Huh? But I wasn’t responding. He shined his phone screen on my face and my eyes were closed, my mouth was slightly open. But when he moved his screen light, he saw my eyes open and I was mouthing stuff to him again. He got so creeped out he almost slept on the couch, but decided to just face away from me and fell back to sleep.
This has me rattled. The stuff in our house doesn’t usually freak me out but this has me shaken up. His vision is good even in the dark. I sleep with my eyes open sometimes and it’s creepy but it’s not wide open and it doesn’t stop once the light is on. I don’t know what this could have been if it wasn’t his eyes playing tricks on him, and I’m not convinced it was.
Last night, I was using an app to record any noises while I sleep to see if I snore. Around 1 AM, I woke up and decided to check the recording out of curiosity. What I heard chilled me to the bone.
It sounds like an old woman’s voice, and I was completely alone in the room. I’ve never heard anything like it before, and I have no explanation. I wasn’t dreaming, and the app has never picked up anything remotely similar.
I’ve uploaded a link to the audio clip (play it loud—it’s honestly terrifying). Has anyone experienced something like this? Could it be a glitch, interference, or something… paranormal? I’m freaked out and open to any theories.

Both of my sisters (they used to share a room) have seen a recurring ghost in their room for as long as they can remember (at night when they wake up sometimes). The visuals of the ghost are a skinny figure (around 6'4", I got them to mark how tall it is), a black figure (not foggy or cloudy, but you can't tell what its face looks like or other features about its body), a crooked chin.
The differences between what my sisters have seen before is for one, it's always looking to the side, however for the other it's looking straight at her, and the eyes are clear (going through the entire head, like glass when to the side) and are shaped like full circles (unlike normal human eyes).
The eyes look like white eyes because both of their walls are white, and you can see it behind their eyes. For the same sister that can see its eyes, it has been up close to her body in weird positions.
In all cases, it isn't sleep paralysis and since they've seen it for so long, they sometimes try to touch it. Every single time, it has just disappeared (like it pops like a bubble or fades away really quickly). They had one incident where it tries to reach out from a dark room and touch them, but it moved its hands really slowly.
I have reason to believe it is really slow compared to a normal human. It has never moved when they woke up at night. One of my sisters took my room and the ghost followed her. In that room, I was always scared that a murderer was in the closet and I would always have a nightmare if I slept in the closet (don't ask why I slept in the closet).
