Oujia experience tonight. Please comment

I used a homemade board tonight twice and it moved loads. I've always been funny with boards but I could feel the pull, it was spinning and spelt hi. I had to pull so planchette didn't come off board. I'm windblown.

Gettysburg ghost tour 23’ surprise - whattaya think?

Just stumbled on the page and thought I would add my experience. Was on a ghost tour Sept 23 and took a random picture in the window of Servant's Old Tyme Photos. Didn’t look at the photos until we were on our way home and saw this little guy.

MIL saw this on her security camera. So detailed and so creepy.

My MIL is not great with technology and is also not one to prank. She is also quite religious and does not believe in ghosts. She sent this in the family group chat and none of us can really figure it out. No one was home at the time this happened and it’s just so detailed looking. They live in Tennessee. What do you think?

Am I putting myself in danger for doing this?

I use to go for a walks late at night (around 4am winter) until the sun light with my boyfriend and in one of these walks I remerber seeing a faint dark figure in the distance dashing one corner to another, stiff like if someone was riding an hoverboad. After seaching about it, I've seen many videos showing similar figures with similar behaviours so now I want to come back to double check and record the thing.

Is there anything I should do or consider before I go for it?

I was haunted by a tulpa for 9 years. AMA

Tulpa - either an audio-visual hallucination or a parasitic spirit, sustained by a person's belief in it or by a specific feeling towards it.

I've had one constantly haunting me from age 7 to around 16, seemingly eating my fear. Sadly, at the time no camera was available to me to learn if it's real or not (my family was poor and I only had a Nokia brick phone). My sister claimed to see it too though.

I'm 25 now, and currently trying to write an animated horror TV series script loosely based on this experience, so your questions could be helpful for that.

What is up with ghosts staring at us or looming over us when we sleep?

Countless stories, all the same. It seems to be the most common way that people see apparitions and yet I’ve never come across any strong theories on what it is that they may be doing. I think our reaction to seeing them is so overwhelming that we forget to wonder wtf they’re doing.

Thoughts? Recorded at the historic Jack Douglass Saloon in Columbia CA.

Am I off base here? The video freezes then seems to capture phantom smoke. Plus the audio is odd. I would love to hear some insights from the paranormal community.

Hoping somebody can make this out or at least validate my 6 month itch in my brain that this isn’t right

My partner and I went on holiday in may of this year to Tenerife. During an excursion to the top of mount Teide to star gaze we stopped in a pine Forrest in the middle of the clouds half way up the mountain for a meal in a small area that had benches and tables. I feel it’s important to note that we was part of an excursion group that consisted of a 2 groups of 2-3 people each from Germany and Switzerland a married couple from France and a small family from Scotland and then me and my girlfriend both from Liverpool uk. (Something we found out during the mandatory “get to know everyone” on the coach ride up there). With the tour guide himself noting nobody native to Tenerife or Spain was on board that day. When we stopped off we was the only group there and the tour guid set up a small lunch on one table and explained to everyone to get in line and fill their plates up. I myself have certain anxieties when it comes to being social and especially eating around people so I take myself away far from the group and set myself on a bench while my girlfriend went and queued for our food with the rest of the group, as I sat down I noticed how pretty everything was and decided to take a quick video on my Snapchat to send to my brother and as I literally pressed the button to begin recording I heard a very loud whisper in my ear which sounded so quiet but so clear I was convinced there was a woman next to me whispering into my ear although I couldn’t understand what got said as I didn’t expect to hear anything and it caught me off guard. I looked to my left where I felt it came from expecting a girl to be sneakily lighting a funny cigarette in the pine Forrest only to be met with nobody just the group on the opposite side of me. I realised I was recording and if I did hear what I think I did it would be on video I instantly ended the video and began to record my surroundings to prove no body was any where close to me. Both videos managed to be caught in the same minuet, one with a clear distinct woman’s voice whispering so close to my phone speaker you would think they was right next to me the next a quiet video showing the group I’m with a good while away all happily helping themselves to food while nobody is anywhere near close enough to me to be able to whisper into my phone speaker or ear. Again me and my partner are both females from Liverpool uk and have very distinct accents that are easily recognisable as with the rest of the group we was with. I have thought about this video every night since I heard it. It makes my stomach turn and I dread to think about it hopefully someone can either debunk this for me or validate that it is infact impossible.

After the first initial loud whisper you will hear a man from the group speak and then another faint one pls try decipher and if I’m breaking any rules pls tell me how to get it approved thanks.

TLDR: creepy woman whispering into my ear and phone while in a pine Forrest in the clouds.

Summoning a ghost today on halloween? A virtual ghost.

I was invited to a party tonight but decided not to attend. Lately, I've been genuinely interested in the idea of experiencing or invoking paranormal activity in a safe, intentional way. Has anyone had success with this online, or safely using a spirit board or other methods? I'd love to connect with experienced individuals open to trying something together virtually. I’m located in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, and have set the right ambiance with Victorian-style decor, candlelight, and an inviting atmosphere.

Wtf is this? ghost? Demon? Photo error? This picture makes my stomach hurt

I let this person stay at my house for a few days and took a picture with my instant camera. The thing that freaks me out is they had mentioned when they were fucked up the day before that they had a demon that was attached to them or something. I don’t know. I just thought they were fucked up, but I definitely find this picture creepy I put a sticker over their face to hide their identity Cause not trying to post somebody.

Carbondale, Pennsylvania's Woman in Black Ghost Predicted Disaster

The ghost of a woman, dressed head to foot in black, appeared three times throughout January and February 1892 in the mining town of Carbondale, Pennsylvania, always just past midnight. The New York Sun reported that a caller for the Erie Railway Company, tasked with awakening railroad workers whose shifts started at night and early morning, saw the mysterious Woman in Black standing in the street near the train depot. Concerned that she was alone in that part of town at a late hour, the caller and a co-worker approached the woman. She abruptly headed away from them toward the city. Although the woman appeared to be moving slowly along the street, the men could not catch up to her no matter how rapidly they walked or ran. She consistently kept a few yards ahead of them despite advancing with the same apparent slow movement. Suddenly, she vanished from sight entirely. A few nights later, the Woman in Black was spotted in another part of Carbondale and led two citizens on a similarly weird chase, disappearing in the same uncanny way. Soon after, she performed the same trick near the old Coal Brook mine entrance. 

Old miners said the same black ghost had appeared three times under identical circumstances 50 years earlier, shortly before the disastrous cave-in at the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company's old No. 1 mine. At about 8 a.m. on Jan. 12, 1846, a nearly 50-acre section of the mine's roof collapsed and imprisoned many workers. Although most of the men were rescued, 14 lives were lost, with eight of the bodies never recovered.

Twenty-eight years earlier, the Woman in Black's trio of spectral visits presaged the black fever plague that struck northeast Pennsylvania, killing about 400 people in Carbondale over the winter of 1863-64. According to one contemporary account, the black fever congealed the blood of its victims in that outbreak, causing their skin to turn black. This ghastly symptom is associated with what is today called black fever (Visceral leishmaniasis, or VL), a disease caused by protozoan parasites, although blackening of the skin was noted in instances of the disease in India and does not occur with most strains of VL. Spread by sandflies in tropical climates, it seems unlikely that VL was the cause of the Carbondale epidemic. The 1863-64 outbreak was also referred to as spotted fever, and was compared to a similar disease that afflicted Vermont from 1812-14. The medical consensus of the time was that "black fever" was actually cerebrospinal meningitis. Meningococcal meningitis, a bacterial cause for the disease, is specifically noted for a rapidly spreading rash of purple or red spots.

Needless to say, superstitious residents were on edge following the Black Ghost's ominous and physics-bending midnight strolls early in 1892. They didn't have to wait in suspense for long. 

On Feb. 19, 21-year-old Thomas Caviston was working alone in a chamber in the mines of Coal Brook colliery at the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company when a mass of 14-inch vein fell on him, crushing him to the ground. A fellow miner found Caviston alive, but the sharp coal had sliced an artery, causing the man to bleed out and perish before his rescuer could carry him out the mouth of the mine. Caviston's family revealed that the young man had a disposition to bleed easily and dangerously, which suggested he was a hemophiliac. 

Bear in mind that the article about the Black Ghost materializing before disasters was published on Feb. 8, obviously sans foreknowledge of the deadly collapse that would occur just 11 days later. And the Lady in Black was seen on her third and final appearance at the entrance to the Coal Brook mine, which is where Caviston would soon after meet his tragic fate. This eerie sequence of events certainly gave this author pause when he discovered them!

I need some advice. I'm dealing with an angry ghost.

I work at a museum about farming in Upstate NY. Our main timeline is the early 1800s, specifically 1845. The main village has some notoriously haunted buildings, but what I'm dealing with is in the main barn of the museum. Where you first enter, there's an upstairs area with old tools and carriages. It's common knowledge that the child's hearse upstairs is haunted. What I'm dealing with is NOT a child. The other staff members think it's an elderly man, but there's a few ghosts up there that no one knows much about. Whoever it is, they're mad at me. I don't think I did or said anything to make them mad, but I went back today and asked them why they were mad at me. Any other advice would be appreciated, thanks!

A little context for my Grandpa Haunting house.

A little context on my weird sounding post. Our family owns a shack in which I've felt strange since I was little. Most of the paranormal phenomena I've ever experienced have happened there. I always felt there was something there, but as a kid no one believed me, so I stopped talking about it. But later it became more common and targeted all family members. The nurse regularly heard heavy footsteps in her room at night, and once even felt breathing on the back of her neck at night. While hanging out the laundry in the early evening, the mother saw a dark, armless figure pass through her and disappear. Since then, she could not warm up for 10 hours. Neither a hot shower nor three duvets helped. My father and I saw a burning figure with an unnatural heat at night. My mother and sister saw a pulsing cloud of fog in the house that responded to their movements. Footsteps are regularly heard, which are lost when you want to draw someone else's attention to them. Our last dog we used to have in the house was nervous, he always lay down at the sister's door. Every evening right after dark he started barking intensely at the house. Things move around the house and in the garden on their own. For example, our hoe fell from the table as if someone was dropping it. The last time we moved the clock on the shed. Grandpa lives in the house and he doesn't notice anything. Grandma also lived here for 12 years. She was the only one who believed that the barrack was haunted, but she also slept on the top floor, where I always felt it the most. When she was dying 12 years ago, which she didn't know because of the disease, even with her brain damaged, she said "not here." After her death, the shack was filled with incredible light and warmth, despite the fact that it was January and the shack was barely 15 degrees even in summer. At that time, everything bad in that house stopped for a while. But sometimes something manifests itself.
