Alright this was a long time ago but of all my paranormal experiences this stands out as the craziest. I was young like 7 or 8. My mom was doing bills or taxes on the computer in my parents room and i left her to go to the kitchen. Right next to the kitchen on other side of wall is dining room table, i walk a little past the kitchen and under the table in the middle is a black contorted creature that looked slim and was crouched down looking at me. I didn’t feel threatened but it was creepiest thing ever. It had a single horn and I remember there being purple on him. It was holding onto a single leg of one of the chairs too. I wish I could give more detail but that’s what I remember it looking like. I stood there and it seemed possibly a little scared of me (or something else…) now that I think about it. Anyways I walk back down the hall to my mom but before her room is the bathroom. Out of the side of my eye I catch something (this is literally 5 feet away!) I’m frozen and my mom’s litterly the next bedroom away with no idea what I’m seeing. A white identical sized to me solid mass human looking body with no features just facing my direction. I looked at it for a solid min or even more. I didn’t feel threatened by it but it seemed more powerful and I felt close to it because it was the same size as me. I was so confused I slowly walked sideways till eyes met my mom and I walked forward toward her. I couldn’t get words out of my mouth I just told her to plz come here and look at this. I knew she was busy and I didn’t want to annoy her she came with me and both things were gone! Ofc.

The photo was taken in 2020 at Lake Auburn, Maine by the girlfriend of the man in the picture. The couple claims that only they and their daughter were present, yet there appears to be the face of a woman in the top left corner of the photo. Apparently, the face resembles that of a woman whose body was recovered nearby, having died two years earlier.

So to begin. Im very spiritual and believe strongly in the energy of things. I dont think most specters are more than pranksters and guardians, but soemtimes I feel unfamiliar or exciting forces that inspire me.

So i started working for this guy who was 100 years old and functions better than most. He went to his ranch every day and worked the earth. He was slipping, so he hired ke to help up keep the place. I immediately felt the spirit when I arrived. It was not inviting but not malevolent. I took it for his fading life force at first, it made sense to me as he resented his failing health and did not want me there baby sitting him. However, as I got to know the land better I began to feel.... more than his energy. I felt a braiding network that connected him to the land. His thrived only because his constant dedication to this place. I began feeling connected to the earth. Felt its yearning to be worked. The harder i worked for it the better my days went, the more incredible secrets i uncovered.

Thencame the day I fully encoutered the spirit in its whole force. I was having a break playing around on the ATVs, i crossed a bridge into the very back of the property and started making figure 8s and loops. Driving felt comfortable. I felt very in control. I heard a voice. It told me to slow down, even though I wasnt going very fast. So i did but i soon became annoyed i was enjoying the fun. I began driving a little faster doing circles and I heard the voice again. It said slow down, Stop. This time I decided I wouldnt listen and almost immediately hit a slick spot and sent my ATV on a crash course into a ditch with me under it. I paniced

But something else was in control fully and gently put their hands over mine, turned the wheel and revved the engine. It jumped me back onto the bridge then stopped me perfectly where i was absolutely safe.

Then sat there a moment cementing me to the earth. It was like all the false disconnection fell away and i could see the spirit of the land mingling with my spirit. And all the energy that had once touched this place. It was magnificent. The land was once a lake, full of life that still laid in its skin, the soil.

I thanked it profusely for saving me and showing me the connection.

After that the Spirit got very pushy. Like it knew I beleived in it and now it could demand what it wanted out of me which was very intense. Id be doing something over here, trimming a tree or pulling this weed and the ground would shift and id be moved to another spot. It wasnt always easy to understand what it wanted. And my boss didnt always agree with what I was choosing to do.

Which was ok! Because, The protection became very strong, as the 100 year old man was always schemeing to make things easier and thus putting me in danger. More than once i felt the land move me out of the line of fire.

Im practicing surrendering to the flow, its hard for me because well Im a sceptic. If i cant feel it see it and hear it then its not real. And nornally id never interact with these things because, well, i know the rule. Dont give the spooky your attention unless you want them to fuck with you. But this was different. This was not a specter as much as it was the remains of the vibrant eco system that laid there for milenia. I think thats why it wanted to be worked and used and toiled upon. I think ghosts are often bored and so they fuck with you for entertainment. I think this spirit was bored in a different way.

I’m nearly 40yo and have had many experiences with ghosts. They used to make me feel paralysing fear. I really didn’t like it.

I was chatting to my husband and said that I wonder why it all stopped about 15 years ago? It clicked the next day. I’d gotten a few rescue cats around 15yrs ago. They’re still with us, happy and healthy old cats.

Do cats protect people from ghosts is my question? It seems like mine have. My experiences just stopped once I got them.

Just as the title inquires; do you think this is possible or have you experienced something that supports that statement?

Hey everyone, I had an unusual experience today that I wanted to share here, because I can't think of any alternative to how exactly it happened. If anyone knows a way in which what I'm about to describe can happen, I'm very open to a mundane explanation.

Today I prepared a load of laundry. I have a front loading machine with a physical button that you have to press in to turn the machine on, and then press in again to release it when you want to turn the machine off. It is a mechanical button that doesn't have any apparent way of being affected any way other than through physically manipulating it. If power is interrupted to the machine mid use, the machine would be turned off, but the button would still be in the on position. I put the load of laundry in the machine, started the cycle, and went about my business. The cycle lasts about 45 minutes. After that time passed, I went back to put my clothes in the dryer, when I noticed the machine was off. At first I thought that the fuse blew, but when I examined the machine, I noticed that the button was in the off position. I pressed it to turn the machine on, and the machine displayed 38 minutes left in the cycle, which is normal if the machine is accidentally turned off mid cycle. It will remember how much time is left and finish the cycle normally. If power to the machine is cut, then the machine will not be in the middle of the cycle when power is restored and you will have to select your cycle and start it over. I was nowhere near the machine at the time displayed remaining in the cycle. I finished my cycle, took my clothes out, and then I tried playing with the button to see if the mechanism was loose, even going so far as to shake the machine somewhat violently to see if it would switch off due to vibration, but I couldnt affect the button other than by physically pressing it in its intended manner. I then thought that maybe someone was in the condo with me, and looked in my closets and under my bed and obviously didn't find anyone. I live alone and no one ever comes to my condo, plus I was home all day and my door is locked. To get to my unit you would have to use a key fob at three different points in the building, so is unlikely that someone came in, bypassed all security, got through my locked door, turned my laundry off, and left, without my noticing. My condo is also 450 square feet, so I don't know how I would have missed that. My mind then went to supernatural, because I ran out of logical options to explain how this happened, and wanted to get some opinions from you guys.

I know it's a super mundane and trivial thing, but I cannot wrap my mind around how that damned button was in the off position. I did another load after the first one and there was no issue. What sort of ghost messes with laundry? Has anyone here had things turn off or on in a way they can't explain? I'd love to hear some other stories, and then potentially what you did to deal with it. Thank you for reading this, if you did.

Edit to add: I have had a few other minor things happen in my unit before, and have had a few ghost sightings in my life, which is why my mind went to ghosts somewhat quickly.

I'd love to find this site again, but can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Anyone else recognise this?

I was out with my dog at 2am this morning and as soon as we got down the stairs at the front of our flat block he looked to the left and started barking and whining. On the left of our block directly on the wind in the street we stay on sits a pre-victorian cemetery with burials from as early as 1780-1850. Directly in front of our block sits an ancient church with a burial chamber in it. My dog has expressed similar behaviour on one other occasion in the last year but I couldn't see anything that time, this time I looked up the street in the direction he was barking at and I saw a childlike figure around the height of my waist wearing a one piece red outfit with ginger hair and pale white skin. Due to the distance I was unable to make out fine details however if I'm to believe what I saw it was a young girl around 6-7 and by the time I had blinked she was gone. I've always been fairly spiritual as a person but never experienced a sighting before that I can recall so I guess I'm just wondering if this means anything? While I'm not religious once I got back inside my flat I said a prayer for the girl wishing her peace and comfort so I suppose I'm also wondering if there is anything else I could/should do? Thanks for any responses :)

About a week ago I had bought a jigsaw puzzle from the $1.25 store, and I couldn’t find it today when I went to start it. I thought I had put it on a shelf, it wasn’t there. After searching around, I said out loud “hey house ghost, bring back my puzzle. Where is it?” As soon as I asked, the lid to my trash can popped open by itself. Did it get thrown out? It’s very possible, it’s a small box, I could have missed unpacking it and thought I put it up. It could have fallen off the shelf (above the trash can). I’ve looked in all the spots I could have put it, places my SO might have moved it to, and some areas that it shouldn’t be. I’m kind of bummed that I can’t find it, but I’m intrigued that I got a response

Alfie our Maltesed, passed October 2023. last night I was sitting down, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a white translucent "thing" moving down the hallway in the same shuffle manor that I used to see him. basically the outline of a back and tail because the head part was already out of sight.

was weird and comforting at the same time

We have our bedroom lights hooked up to Alexa so we can tell it to turn the lights off and on. We moved into our apartment 6 years ago and the previous tenant committed suicide in it. She is still here. She lets us know by doing little things like breaking glasses or pushing things off the shelves. She stayed mostly in our guest room. For the last few months the light in that room has been going off and on randomly. I got tired of it so a few weeks ago I turned the switch off manually so Alexa can’t turn on the light. This morning I came down the hall and noticed a glowing coming from under the door in that room. I go into the room and it’s freezing cold and the tv in that room is on. It’s not a smart tv and you have to use the remote to turn it on. We haven’t been in that room in weeks. My husband opened the door and yelled for her to turn the tv off. We will see if she does. I think we need to sage our apartment

I was about 15 the time, I’m 19 now so i remember this well. I use to live with my mom and her husband in this house he had inherited from his late uncle, & aunt. When we moved in, I was told that two people had died in the house, both being my stepdad’s relatives. When I say i have several different stories I could tell you from this house alone, it was pretty spooky. It was an older house too, built in the 1800’s.

My room was upstairs, next to a bathroom and right across the hall from my moms room, and then just a stair case down right to the door where you leave the house. I shared the room with my sister, but she was only their on the weekends because she lived with her mom primarily so for the most part it was me in this pretty big room, (the house was huge) it was way too much space for me.

I will share two things that i believe were somehow connected to each other because they both have to do with my dog peetie. The first thing that happened is one day when i was just in my room my dog started completely howling and growling at the corner of my room. Keep in mind my dog usually more so whines when he barks like I had never ever heard him bark like that and it was one specific corner.

My mom swore he was looking out my window but their was no way he usually puts his paws up on the window when hes looking out the window, but he had his head down in the corner growling.

The next thing that happened shortly after, is I was downstairs and my mom was looking up the staircase to our rooms where my dog was trying to get into my room. I was not in my room i was in the dining room downstairs. My room has sliding doors kind of so you cant just wiggle your way in you have to like manually slide the door. I’m standing in the dining room right next to the stair case watching my mom and all of a sudden her face just drops and she looks terrified.

I asked her what was wrong and she told me my door just opened for peetie by itself. Needless to say i slept in my brother’s room that night.

There is one particular part of my house that always makes me feel a little off. It feels like I'm always being closely watched in that spot and that whoever it is is trying to scare me. It doesn't feel malicious, more in a shit-disturbing kind of way. I have thought I've seen faces or hands holding a wall out of the corner of my eye, but aside from that have no proof of spirits, it is purely gut feeling and I have felt it the whole 10 years I've lived in this house.

When I lived upstairs (I'm now in the basement) I used to speak to a spirit as when I was younger, it felt kind and pleasant. I would talk to her, not get a response but have a positive feeling. I always get anxious when I feel like they are watching and it calmed me down. Now, I'm in the basement and while I don't think that the guy down here would hurt me in any way, I can tell he's trying to scare me. I always feel uneasy when I'm in the dark and like I'm being chased. I'm tempted to talk to him and ask if he can cut it out a little. I get that it's a prank or game, but it freaks me out, especially late at night.

Is it a bad idea to address him? I just want some peace of mind for a little lol. Not much proof of existence, just very weird feelings.

So my roommate and I have each always had spiritual protectors follow us our whole lives. We are both spiritually in-tune and see apparitions. She sees them more than I do but i’ve recently discovered that i have prophetic visions, normally about very insignificant things. I mention this because shortly after she moved in there’s been a severe uptick in activity in our home, and some of it doesn’t seem like the activity of our usual protectors. There has been movement of things we never touch, things going missing for days after we put them down right in front of us, then reappearing in the same place. She has also has seen a large male figure staring at her while resting and she and her dog get very bad energy from it. Last night we did a tarot reading with my guides to gather some information on the matter and we were told there is definitely something evil with us and we would have a large battle soon. then her and i both began to feel an entity touching us and she was able to see something above her head. This morning we were having coffee together down stairs and heard a knock on the door and when i looked out there was nobody there. I’m here to ask if anybody knows what could have drawn this entity to us so suddenly or how we could possibly get rid of this thing that is causing so many issues?

This encounter literally happened not even an hour ago and I’m left a little spooked and confused. Me and my mum were talking in the kitchen and she then witnesses a strange mist appear about my head and glide over to the wall before disappearing. I asked her if it could’ve been a cobweb and she said it was more cloud shaped and moved quite slowly in a straight line. After telling my step-dad, he pointed out that the wall (where it vanished) used to have a door into the living room before we moved in, so it almost seems as if it was following a path, which would make sense. However, after some thinking, I have some questions about it. First off, we have other known ghosts in this house that include a not so nice man at the top of our garden and garage (who also has never been encountered inside of the house and I would like to hope that he is banished), a cat and some sort of attachment that has been following me for as long as I can remember. One ghost that we have never noticed before is this mist and this is the first time we have ever encountered anything like this in my house, despite living here for over 7 years. The only other explanation I have is that it is my attachment - considering that the mist appeared above my head, but I am struggling to understand why it has never appeared like that or acted even remotely similar to this before. Any ideas as to what it could be or what it might mean would be amazing

People. My GF (27F) Me/I (27M)

The Entity Elizabeth The Doll John Doe The Ghost

We brought Elizabeth the doll to our apartment and began to have the doorbell ring on its own. We answered the door to have no one there. One day, with my dad and I moving in, we broke the doorbell only to have a knock at the door. When we answered, no one was there. We quit answering only to single knocks, it was a pattern we noticed with the knocks. That eventually ended.

More recently, pens have started moving on their own and ended up in different locations than where they were placed. It's fond of a purple pen we have and moves it on its own accord. John has thrown a pen at my GF's butt.

I wonder if two ghosts can be in one doll; right now, we have picked up a foreign-sounding girl (Russian or Japanese voice) and a man's voice on my GF's device. One is a woman trying to find out how it works. She makes the strangest request like "Alexa fan on." Then the man's voice said, "They can't hear me."

My girlfriend and I have somewhat learned that we can punish them by putting the doll in the closet if it doesn't like it and will door knock on the closet if we leave it in too long. The stuff is weird.

My Girlfriend wants to get rid of it, I really like the doll because it's beautiful. We have been talking about it, and I told her what if it doesn't end the activity and we get rid of a nice doll. It would be a shame. It has not done anything to harm us.

Update. (Part Two)

The ghost now moves stuff on its own accord; my Girlfriend was petting our cat when the TV remote got thrown off our TV tray; it's not like it was on the edge of anything. It slid completely from one side of the tray.

My girlfriend has heard a disembodied voice call from the living room.

Since last week, for a month, we had to leave the apartment and forgot the doll. Our lights would go into a flicker then be normal and flicker again when we returned. Eventually, this has stopped.

Last night, while putting our toddler to bed my wife was sitting in the recliner and she watched the door knob turn and then the door open half way and then close. This was followed by footsteps down the hallway and commotion in the living room my wife attributed to being our 3 cats or 2 dogs.

My poor wife is thinking it was an intruder, but we live in a pretty rural area, a mile back on a dirt road. I'm not convinced someone could enter our house without setting the dogs off, or that someone would break in and not take anything.

As I've had time to reflect on this today, I've been putting together other instances in the past few years that we've lived in our house.

Faint, brief, unintelligible whispers heard coming from outside while in the bathroom, misplaced items and the numerous times our son has said there was a ghost.

I kinda wrote it all off to it being pretty echoy where we live. And who's going to believe a toddler saying he sees a ghost in his room because he really just wants to spend the night with with his parents and the dogs?

I don't even know who to talk to without seeming like an over concerned parent but I really dont know what to do.

Call a priest? Burn sage? Put crystals around?

Please help.

Notice: I had to avoid certain words that removed the ability to post this, but I think you all get the gist.

Has anyone ever encountered items that caused you extreme bad luck but after removing it everything went back normal!

Tonight my Roku tv turned on all by itself. This TV is not connected to any internet source. Nothing is connected to it and it is just sitting in a room plugged into a wall outlet. Nobody was near the remote and it just turned on and started moving around inputs/other random things all by itself. I live in a rural area so don’t think it’s another remote.

I’ve been having some Weird things happening inside and outside the house lately but hat can’t be explained and just say it’s the supernatural or a ghost as a joke. But with this TV turning on and doing stuff with no devices connected to it and it being disconnected to the internet really has me thinking. Was it actually a ghost?

Does anyone have an explanation for this? Anything I read online it’s possible for a tv to turn on with a universal remote. A device plugged in waking it up, or casting something from YouTube to the tv. I can rule all those out so I’m not sure what turned this TV on.
