So I’m pretty new to the paranormal world and I’ve seen a couple ghost dogs you can say? I know they’re ghosts bc each time it looks exactly like my dead dog that passed 2 years ago, which we burried in our back yard and I’ve seen it twice and I’m curious as to what that could mean and I don’t want to hear about carbon monoxide, schizophrenia and stuff so we’re on the same page

When i was a child like 5-12 yo ive seen ghosts nearly every night. There were like white shapes which were standing in the room without any movement. It was never scary in some kind of way. Ive never told it to my parents. Im over 30 now and said it to my mother some weeks ago.

had someone maybe the same?

thats the reason im never opening my eyes in the night when i am sleeping

Hello everyone and happy day of the dead, I come to tell you about a curious experience that happened to me years ago and that remained marked in my memory as a memory of love that I will never forget, in 2018 I lost my girlfriend in an accident, she and her father crashed suffering a lot of damage so she could not recover dying in the hospital, it was a hard year for me since being very young I could not digest well all that experience less if you have a very sad farewell where you will not see her again or talk after you leave the emergency room. Two years later in 2020 I started a relationship with the one who is currently my wife but a strange thing happened when in my house my wife said that strange things were happening, they moved things, they closed the door and sometimes she felt that someone was watching her, taking all this into account we contacted a witch that the truth is I do not agree with that anymore that I do not believe in any of that. But for her safety and peace of mind we did it, the witch told us that it had to do with someone who was tied to me, an entity that protected me and did not want to let me go, having an attachment to me, deciding to have my wife's peace of mind I decided to undergo a cleansing so that there would be no problems in it. It involved going to the cemetery to apologize because I would have a new partner and that I loved her very much, that I would not forget her but that time has passed and I want to continue my life, another thing was letting go of things of hers, I remember that perhaps they were impregnated with her being that were anchored to my house. After that process, we lived a quiet life where none of that happens anymore, but it is curious to know that even when dead a love continues to protect you, perhaps it did so because I did not feel that my wife was the right or adequate one. I will always love my girlfriend with whom we lived 2 beautiful years of courtship, I still remember her fondly but life goes on.

So I hear about shadow people and I even see shadow people quite often around my home and recently shadow dogs it seems, and I’ve been wondering, what are they and what does it mean if you can see these shadow beings, does it mean I’m haunted or I’m special or whatever, if anyone knows about the topic, I would love to hear your thoughts on it

I remember for awhile a few years ago, I would hear a faint breathing to the right of me as I tried to doze off, but only when I was in half sleep mode. I was by myself, has anyone else experienced this?

First of all, let me just say that I have had my share of strange paranormal experiences in the past, including apparitions appearing in my bedroom at night as I try to sleep (including the spirit of a boy about 6-7 years of age who visited me and would go through my drawers and desk every night for a couple of weeks or so until I finally had to have a priest send him on his way in the summer of 2008), but I've had one strange experience unlike any other that I find myself baffled by, and wanted to know if anyone may have any clue as to what it could have been.

I forget how long ago this was, but it was a few years back. Once again, I was trying to sleep - I'm an insomniac and a light sleeper, so it doesn't take much to disturb me. When my eyes fluttered open, there was a strange beam of white light cutting its way through my room, as though somebody has a small LED flashlight and was looking around in the dark . . . but here's the weird part that has left me confused and baffled ever since it happened: the source of the light came from within my alarm clock. Yes, unlike most people in this day and age, I still have a radio alarm clock plugged into my wall that I keep on a small shelf on the wall next to my bed. As I said, it was from within the clock that the beam of light came. It was only as I came to my senses that the light disappeared, and I thoroughly examined my clock to see what it was or how it was even possible, but I have nothing. Like I said, the whole scenario was like if somebody had a flashlight and was looking through a window or something to see what may be inside a darkened room, even though my bedroom window is on the adjacant wall.

The reason why I assume this to be paranormal is not only because of the fact that this strange beam of light coming from within my alarm clock wasn't crazy enough, I could almost sense a presence behind the light. Even if an apparition doesn't feed off of my energy, I can usually sense its presence in the room with me, and I am fairly certain I sensed a presence in this particular case. Otherwise, the space between my bed and that particular wall is incredibly narrow, so for anybody to have even been there shining a flashlight, they literally would've had to have been behind the wall itself (or, again, in this case, inside the clock somehow).

Has anybody ever had an experience like this before, and if so, what do you make of it? Again, encounters with apparitions isn't entirely uncommon for me (my mother tells me her grandmother would find herself visited by spirits and such from time to time as well, so maybe it's a family thing), but this specific experience was totally isolated, and hasn't happened before or since, and because it was so unlike others I've had, it's just left me incredibly curious as to what it could possibly have been.

Tldr at the bottom, please excuse the formatting I'm on mobile.

Hello everyone, I'd like to share an experience from my childhood with you. I haven't been able to find any logical explanation for this event on my own.

I was nine years old and had a considerable collection of figures from the company "Schleich" (any fellow Germans here?).

On that day, I was playing with my horse figures as I often did. This includes a set of two completely identical brown horse figures. As I was on the carpet playing with these horses, I grabbed one of the horses, turned around, placed it down and then turned around again to grab the second horse but it was gone.

My room was quite empty as we were poor, the carpet I was playing on was in the middle of the room and there wasn't much furniture. I stood up and looked around but the horse was nowhere to be found even though I had played with it literally seconds ago.

My parents both helped me look for it as well, even moving around what little furniture I had and completely emptying all closets and boxes but we never found it. Years later we moved and again, I went through literally everything and never found it again.

Here are some explanations I've thought of and why they can't be true:

1. Now, the most obvious explanation is that this horse never existed and I was just young and confused. This can't be true because I was a very meticulous child, I literally had a handwritten list of all my Schleich figurines including their article number from the catalogue. My mom helped me make this list so it's for sure 100% accurate. And if that doesn't convince you, there's literally photos of me playing with these figurines where you can see I had two of this specific horse figure.

2. I lost the horse at some other point and didn't notice until that moment/I misremembered that moment. Also unlikely. As I said, I was very meticulous. I wrote a daily diary which I updated 3-5 times a day and for that day there are several entries describing the exact events as they transpired:

(It's written in elementary school German so I am translating) "Something spooky happened! I was playing with Schoko and Kakao and I turned around and Kakao is gone! He was there and now he isn't!" - "I looked for Kakao. I can't find him. Mom also looked for Kakao. I think he is gone. Mom said Dad will look for him too!" - "Dad spent all evening moving furniture around and looking. We even went through ALLLLL my stuff! Kakao is gone :("

So yeah, I don't know what happened to the horse figure. I no longer believe in ghosts but still can't find a logical explanation for it. Maybe the atoms aligned perfectly and it phased through the floor lmao

Tldr: my horse figurine disappeared while I was playing with it. It for sure existed and I was for sure playing with it just moments prior. We never found it.

TL;DR: While living in a new apartment, strange occurrences started happening to my fiancé and me—doors wouldn’t stay closed, our cat acted oddly, and someone violently rattled our front door handle with no one in sight. Soon, objects began moving on their own, we’d smell awful odors that would vanish instantly, and we even heard footsteps around the kitchen. It got so intense we moved our bedroom to the living room to feel safer. Previously a staunch atheist, I’m now more open to the idea that there are things science can’t yet explain.

My post-secondary classes were always at night, and I usually got out around 11:30 p.m. Home was five long Florida miles away, a drive that typically took around 25 minutes. At that time, my fiancé and I were living in a brand-new apartment complex, on the fourth floor. From day one, though, strange things started happening.

Our apartment had an unusual layout—basically a big circle. The bathroom connected to both the living room and the kitchen, with doors on either side, and our closet was located within it. For whatever reason, that closet door refused to stay shut. I tried countless experiments to figure out why, but every time, without fail, I’d come back half an hour later, and it would be open.

Then there was our cat. He would sit in the bathtub, staring at the bathroom door, letting out these low, drawn-out meows. It was unsettling, but we figured it was just one of those weird pet things. Nothing else was happening…until it did.

One night, my fiancé called in a panic. She said someone had tried to rattle the front door handle right off the door. I checked our front-door camera, but there was no sign of anyone outside. While I was still on the live feed, trying to calm her down, it happened again—a violent, almost desperate rattling, like a grown man trying to tear the door off its hinges. The door was the only point of egress or ingress in the apartment. I told her to grab the shotgun, sit in the corner, and that I was on my way.

I left class, hopped on my motorcycle, and somehow made it home in five and a half minutes, blowing through red lights. When I parked and got into the elevator, I suddenly felt like I’d swallowed an apple whole and couldn’t breathe. It was as if an invisible weight pressed down on my chest. Still, I pushed forward, made it to the door, and signaled for her to put down the gun. I searched the entire apartment, but there was nothing. That night passed without further incident, but from that point on, everything escalated.

The strange occurrences became routine. We have two dogs, one of which is a small, older white dog. One day, she was padding through the bathroom, headed toward the bedroom to crawl under the bed—her usual cozy spot. My fiancé followed her, only to find the dog wasn’t there. After a few moments of confusion, she walked back into the living room, where the dog was lying on the couch, looking as relaxed as ever.

Then there were the objects. We came home one day to find all our plates had been moved into the silverware drawer. On another day, we found both our ottoman and a chair had been rotated to face the fish tank, almost as if in deliberate contemplation. We left them that way.

The strange occurrences continued. We’d be walking through the apartment and suddenly hit pockets of the worst smells imaginable. Just as suddenly, the scent would vanish. We’d also hear footsteps circling around the kitchen island, even though we were alone.

Things got so intense that we eventually moved our bedroom into the living room, turning the actual bedroom into my fiancé’s workspace. The nightmares had become relentless, and we felt safer being in an open space.

All in all, 0/10—would not recommend. Before this, I was a devout atheist, firmly grounded in the belief that science explained everything. Now, I’m more open-minded. I’ve come to believe there’s a lot we don’t understand about what really happens in this world, and perhaps, we never will.

I had not talked to my mother in years( she was not a kind person) On March 6th, 2023 I had a horrible dream where she came to me in a dirty white nightgown and stringy dirty hair( similar to the girl in the Ring). She was screaming at me like a banshee. I woke up terrified and called my sister ( who also didn't talk to my mother) and I could tell something was wrong. She had put her dog down that morning from unexpected cancer. I told her of my dream and asked if she had heard anything from our mother. She had not Three weeks later my sister got a call from my mother's sister stating that my mother had died and since we didn't talk to her she did all the arrangements herself and had my mother cremated. I asked what day she did die, it was March 6th.

So, i accidentally deleted or didnt even upload my previous post, so ill try to make it quick, before everything im sorry for my english, im from eastern europe.

Basically me and my friend (Rada) were chilling at the Amfiteatr in Mikulov, its next to a really, really old and scary jewish graveyard, we were like 8-10 and our fathers were alcoholics, so we were outside at like 1pm i think? Doesnt matter, just really late.

We decided to walk over the childy-typeshi road, where you learn to ride a bicycle, straight in to the forest, along the road next to the graveyard. As we were walking, Rada was carrying a scooter and we were headed somewhere, dont remember, mayb to the town or just the forest.

As we were walking, we heard humanlike footsteps on the right side, almost next to us. There were little trees, over which even us really young could see, so we saw the place the footsteps were coming from exactly right. We turned around and the steps were like 2meters infront of us, on a place we could easily see. NOONE, NOTHING, was there, we got scared as f, Rada threw the scooter on the ground and we ran straight to the pub located on Amfiteatr our fathers were in.

When we returned for the scooter, nothing was there. Since like 8 years nothing has happened to me like that again.

There were rumors that in Mikulov there are demons and devils live here. Also the city was occupied in 1939 so maybe some dead people wanted to scare us, or even MAYBE, they warned us before something, going alone like that, with Mikulov having dangerous people, and wanted to stop us. I really dont know, would like to hear your opinnions or maybe to explain what could it be. Anyway im 100% these steps were human, with nothing in sight.

Thanks

My boyfriend has experienced paranormal encounters since he was a young child. hearing clear voices and breathing, smelling things like perfume and cigarettes in his own childhood home where no one living there smoked, nor used similar perfumes. He has also seen clear apparitions countless of times, as well as having the sense of being touched. So it’s clear that he has some sort of connection to the spiritual.

While me on the other hand have never experienced anything paranormal. Not anywhere including my own house.

However, when my boyfriend has been here, we have both had several experiences that I have no logical explanation of. Some of them have been;

Two days ago we had eaten dinner and left the dishes at the kitchen counter while we sat in the living room (separated room but with door open) and chatted. We were suddenly abruptly silenced when we heard what sounded like a fork being lifted and then dropped onto a plate. it was a sound with such intent. And we both remembered leaving the plates at an angle where a fork or knife wouldn’t be able to slide or fall off.

Just 5 seconds after that first noise, it came again. It was identical to the first time. Like a fork being lifted and forces down onto the plate again. My cat was lying by the doorway to the kitchen, and was staring very intensely into the kitchen. (It most likely was because of the noise, but he never really cares for noises because he’s an old cat and won’t bother very easily)

We both walked over to the kitchen to see what was going on. When we got there, we saw no sign of any of the cutlery having changed positions.

Other experiences have been hearing clear footsteps coming down the stairs while being in the same room. And knowing no one was home except for us. Hearing footsteps in the room right above us, and things being moved around. (nothing big, just small objects) All of the times these things have happened, my cat has been with us the whole time. So it can’t be him.

In conclusion, my question is the following. Is there a possibility that some people are more “prone” to paranormal events and/or entities/spirits? Is that why it seems like my boyfriend is “drawing” these things out to light?

i experienced a mimic...?

i’m really confused and want to know what i truly experienced that day cause even typing this experience brings me goosebumps.

This happened summer 2019 during the morning of i believe july or august. i was on vacation with my grandma, grandpa and 2 younger siblings. it was a friday morning and around 9 am my grandma had told me that she would go to the shopping area with my grandpa and 2 siblings so i would stay alone in the house. the door of the house has a kind of curtain in it. a traditional greek curtain that makes noise when someone enters the house or even if outside there’s air. my grandma usually leaves this door open during the summer cause it’s already too hot and we only close it during the afternoon and night. the door of the house was closed that day by my grandma and i didn’t want to open it at all. i remember being in that one section of the living room that the door cannot face. i was making some tiktoks and scrolling through the app when suddenly i heard the door opening and the curtain making the noise it makes when someone enters the house and heard footsteps behind me. i guessed my grandparents and siblings were home already so i called out with my back facing the door “grandma you came already?” and i got no answer. again “grandma ? yall came home?” nothing. i turn back and saw that the door was never open and no one had entered the home. i remember being physically ill when i came to the realization

I work from home and it was a usual Monday - I was struggling to concentrate and getting easily distracted throughout the house.

Around midday, I was in my bedroom upstairs with my two dogs, stroking their heads and generally wasting time. All of a sudden there's a huge bang from another room, the dogs looked scared and didn't seem to want to investigate until I went first.

I looked in each room until I found that my standard sized baseball bat, which I leave leant up in a corner handle end up, with the top of the bat wedged in place against a slightly raised floorboard, had fallen onto the wooden floor.

I instantly felt scared. It had never fallen before, and hasn't fallen since. I messaged my partner, who lives with me, to ask if he had moved the bat or perhaps kicked it slightly before he left for work, putting it off balance maybe. Assuming he'd say 'Maybe, I don't recall' he replied categorically with 'No I definitely didn't. Why?'. I explained what happened and he replied back that he was spooked, which is very unlike him as he is a skeptic.

I decided to walk downstairs and try to shake the scared feeling off, but I became accutely aware of that the house was stone cold and there was dead silence - no sound of passing cars, no wind sound past the windows or birds chirping. A feeling of intense fear consumed me, so I just went to sit at my desk and tried to block it out. One of my dogs sat on my lap and one sat at my feet, but something told me to swivel round in my chair and look - at what I don't know - but the dog at my feet turned too and her ears were twitching and her nose sniffing like crazy. The dog on my lap, also looked. We were all staring in the same direction, at the doorway into the hall.

This moment passed after what was probably a few seconds, and it was suddenly like normal sound returned and the temperature rose. I did however notice for the rest of the day that I had an overwhelming feeling of sadness and depression for no reason that I had to keep shutting out.

I thought nothing of it all though, and got on with my day, just putting it down to a spooky blip, with no real meaning.

Cut to 4pm - I receive a phonecall from my sister saying mum's partner had called her, stating mum hadn't returned home from the supermarket and when he tried to call her, it kept going straight to voicemail, and he was worried. I tell her to call Accident and Emergency to ask if any unidentified females had been admitted and I called the police to file a missing persons report.

In the meantime, my partner has come home, and we head out to search for my mum - at the supermarket and on her driving route home.

During our search, I receive a call around 7pm from the police who informed me of the last time she was seen in her car on CCTV - at 12:17pm. I hung up the call and checked my messages to my partner. I found that I told him about the baseball bat falling over at 12:18pm. I was a bit spooked, but didn't think it was hugely significant at this point, but when I told my partner he said a chill went over his whole body.

Knowing where she had last been seen, we then focused our search on the river that ran alongside her driving route, and, low and behold - we found her car upside down in the river. The emergency services arrived quickly and recovered her body.

The police told me this week the exact location of the last CCTV camera she was seen on - I checked Google maps and found it was 1 minute away from her crash location. She would have left the road and ultimately crashed at 12:18 - the time the baseball bat fell over and caused the huge bang.

The evidence is pointing towards my mum passing out at the wheel, but her cause of death has been found to be drowning.

I have questions. Firstly, the baseball bat - it fell at the point of her passing out/leaving the road, then, the house going cold and silent was likely at the point she had passed away - What does this all mean? How did her passing out/the crash cause the baseball bat to fall? Is it the energy that is released when she passed/or had her spirit left her body at the point of no return?

Any views/takes on all this would be appreciated.

TDLR - at the exact time of my mum's road traffic accident, a stable baseball bat wedged into a corner, fell and clattered onto a wooden floor, then the house went cold and silent and I felt scared. I didn't know of her passing until 8 hours later when I found her car upside down in the river.

Ok so here's the deal I've been living with extended family for a about a month due to some issues I won't get into and since I've been in the basement I've always felt as if I'm being watched and at one point while I was playing a game on my phone I felt a hand on my shoulder I had headphones in so I didn't hear anything and I turned around thinking it was my aunt or uncle and there was no one their so that's the first thing that had me going what the hell I've also been seeing stuff move at the corner of my eyes but that could be anything so I won't just say ghosts

But what really got me scared and had me so terrified I couldn't sleep was

I was in my room watching TV as my aunt and uncle had a small older TV that they didn't use so I was watching Disney plus and was watching family guy I was watching the episode where Braun got married to that girl who was dying. Anyway all of a sudden u got this feeling of very intense fear and dread like it was so intense I've never felt like that in my life i turned off my TV and then tried to sleep as I thought maybe so some sleep would make this feeling go away and it was around 2:30 am (don't judge I got bad sleeping habits) then all of a sudden I heard one loud knock at the front door ( my room is located right under the living room and front door as well) I thought this was weird and that intense feeling of dread and fear was still there. Then about 30 seconds after I heard a knock right at the window right above me I moved the curtain and there was no one and I heard nothing my window was shut and it was very auditable like sounded like someone slammed their fist against it and where the window is located is ground level on the side of the house

I got a feeling like someone or something wanted to harm me I sat for about a minute trying to calm down but i couldn't get over the feeling and something in my gut was telling me to get tf upstairs and I listened to my gut feeling but as I was about to make my way upstairs I couldn't have sworn I felt as of something was digging its claws into the upper left side of my back as I was leaving to go up the stairs I ended up staying up until 9am in the living room watching family guy with the lights on. After that everything was fine I felt nothing wrong but the occasional feeling of being watched when trying to sleep

Thus happend about a week ago

And then it brings me to about 5 hours ago

I was upstairs in the living room watching some random show my cousin was watching that I got invested in

Then all of a sudden I got this weird feeling that started on my left side that felt like something blowing air it went through my left ear and then felt it in my right ear and then boom a loud ringing noise in my right ear

Then I got that feeling of fear and dread again like something was wanting to harm me then after about 5 minutes of feeling this I heard one of the decorations for Halloween go off outside at first I thought nothing of it but then I realized it was the one that had a thing you had to click to set it off and you had to press pretty hard on the button to set it off I looked outside saw the decoration and didn't see anyone or hear anyone after about 5 mins it went off again and I looked outside and saw no one but I swore I heard something like scratching at the door I sat on the couch and continued to sit and after like 10 mins that feeling of fear and dread went away

So I'm basically asking can anyone let me know what the hell is going on like am I losing my godamn mind

I've been a believer in this stuff for years well kinda always been a bit of a skeptic but right now I'm honestly a little scared as I've never had something like this happen I'll also mention the house I'm stating in is 130 years old and my other family members say they experience the feeling of being watched to but never have they mentioned what I just told

Anyway please lmk if you know what this is or just lmk if I need to go get myself locked up lol

Edit: since people are asking questions I'll give a bit more detail about what ik about the house

The one thing I'll add is whenever they were buying the house the people who lived here before upped and left without a word which they found weird and another creepy thing is they found 3 mirrors lined up in the basement covered by a cloth 1 had a Crack they thought it was creepy af when they first saw that

Another thing is ik some of these things can be normal things however it only happens when I'm either feeling a presence or the 2 times I got that feeling of dread and fear our of nowhere so I find it to be a strange coincidence

The more I type the more crazed I sound holy S$it

Also I'm not the only one seeing stuff as my family have seen stuff as well usually aberrations of shadows or something moving at the corner of their eyes and nothing is there when they look

(Apologies for any poor spelling)

So me and my friends, for the sake of the explanation ill call them eclipse and fazzy.

So we were hanging out my room and eclipse turned the lights off. once off and the room was completely dark, things started happening. we noticed figures in the corner of our eyes blinking out of existence one we looked at them. One of the other things were the voice. It was mainly a male voice saying the same thing, "you shouldn't be here". it started off with the voice sounding confused, then moved its way up, sounding confused, then angry and angrier, it always seemed so close, yet somehow so far away.

there were other sounds too, there were footsteps, a faint crying, hissing, shushing, creaking and a male voice shushing.

and at the end, when i went to go to turn the light on because i was shook and scared, in the corner was a what i can best describe as a woman, really bloody.

nothings happen since, but I'm shook and scared, what was going on!?
any help is appreciated thank you.

Hi I have a question, how come I hear a ticking sound in my walls? It sounds like a clock except its like 5x the speed on a clock?? there is like 5 ticks per second.

If you’re thinking “maybe tinnitus?” no. I don’t hear it in my ears it’s like away from me.

“maybe there is a clock in your wall?” no. Me and my family moved houses about 5 months ago and I would hear the same thing at our old house.

I still hear it, it usually doesn’t last this long. It’s not raindrops outside because it ain’t raining. Wtf is it??!! It’s annoying me so much. Sometimes it would slow down a bit then tick even faster omg it just stopped wait nvm its ticking even faster what the fuck?!

At my old house i thought it was my bed creaking or something but that can’t be the issue cause i have a whole new bed.. but i’m not even sure if it’s in my walls or right outside my wall.. its so weird.

If you have any answers please tell me.

I heard a paranormal story about spirits on a plantation and I just really hope that there are people out there that go around and energetically cleanse plantations and other places where slaves were kept so the slaves don’t have to stay there forever. Does anyone know if there are people who do this?

I am a religious person, and I really like rock music and metal, and basically every kind of music. I was listening to a band called Ghost B.C., which is a satirical satan metal band. Ive listened to this band alot before, I knew all the lyrics and this band to this day is one of my favorite newer metal bands. In 2018 at around 5:30am on my way to work, I was driving down a busy curvy road near the woods. I dont remember the song i was listening too, but i started hearing what sounded like demonic voices, a mixture of chants, it was extremely loud, it drowned out the music. I was stunned for a few seconds, i thought it was the song messing up. I quickly realized something was wrong and I turned off the music. I made it to work just fine. I stopped listening to Ghost B.C., for probably a few months. I have no history of hearing voices or anything like that. I now only listen to a few of their songs at a time.

Decided to post here for the first time after an odd encounter.

So I like to watch YouTube videos to sleep and I just woke up to a very loud voice telling me to wake up, but the video was just some guy making cheesecake, and I live alone.

Do I stay awake? What does this mean?

EDIT - Someone asked for more details in messages, asking what else anything said??? The guy on the video said something about diets and the rest of the videos are very odd how it's made videos.

I saw a post about the hatman, and i saw it was associated with benadryl. But that is not my story. I was a kid and went with my family to a small town in Mexico to visit my grandpa. We stayed in the brick house and I was sleeping in a room with my older brother. I woke up one night and my brother was gone, he was much older about 15. I walked to the front door and stepped outside to look for him. I looked down the street to the left, and to the right. I was stupid so i decided to walk to the right which is where an abandoned mansion was a few houses down the road. It was dark and no one was outside, it was quiet. I started walking in the center of the road and i looked up and saw the man with a LARGE top hat. He had glowing red eyes and was just looking at me. It felt like forever, but i turned around and ran back to the house and jumped in bed, i fell asleep. I didnt have access to the internet growing up, so what I saw was what I think of as a demon. The hat was comically large, the brim was huge and flat, almost the size of a mariachi hat. In this house i would wake up several times and see ghosts around the house and in the back yard. My experiences are easily debunked as a dream I know. But growing up, I saw a few ghosts as a kid. I thankfully no longer see ghosts as an adult. This is just 1 story I got from that house.

Hi everyone i've been thinking a lot about this thing that happened to me when i was 11 years old and to this day i don't have an explanation i would like to point out that i don't believe in religions, i don't believe in gods for many reasons i just accept and see reality the way it is and always has been but there was one event in my life that has been making me study a little bit of physics, not professionally though but out of interest...

So let's go back to October/November 2010 i was in elementary school back then had very good friends and family, life was good no problems at all, one night i was preparing to go to sleep my mom and grandmother were watching their novel on tv as usual, in front of my bed there was a tiny shrine with jesus christ and a cross, i wasn't a believer even then, now that i look back as a kid i never really paid much attention to that, i just obeyed my family's tradition but never believe in any of it as a kid really.

So i prayed before going to bed and what happened next took me by one hell of a surprise... I turned around, get in bed then as i was tucking me in suddenly there was this big shadow in front of me getting bigger and bigger and all i was able to hear was: '' matar morir matar morir matar morir '' or it sounded like that, my first instinct was to tuck myself all in cover as much of my body as i could, but it was getting so darn big i was about to jump out of bed and run towards the living room where my mom and grandmother was, but then my grandmother came in to the bedroom ( at that time she slept on the other side of the bedroom).

Just when my grandmother comes in, the shadow starts to move through the walls and i stare in shock, seeing how it escapes moving towards the ceiling then through the window that goes to the roof just like a fluid.

To give you an idea what i saw just put your arm in front of a flashlight and look at the shadow of your arm on the wall, then move the arm and see how the shadow of your arm gets big and stretches out.

I immediately told grandmother what i saw and well...my family did all sort of things like praying , using holy water all over the house but it didn't stop there... Hell no... that was just the beginning.

All of a sudden every afternoon i would start feeling like something else was in the house, but moreover i was feeling observed, as a 11 year old kid i was like wtf is this?, because it was not in the morning, it was not at noon, it was exactly between the hours of 4-6 PM that it would begin.

I'm having shivers trying to write this and i want to cry...

There was one night that was the straw that broke the camel's back, i was trying to play on the pc and ignore the feeling of being observed, my grandmother was on the third floor in the kitchen i was on the second floor playing games, but i started to feel somehow ( you know when you have someone behind you ? that feeling) that this sensation was getting heavier somehow i don't know how to describe it, just the intensity of it increased, i kept trying to ignore, but then it got to a level that i said HELL NO i have to get up...so i get up go to the stairs ( from the stairs i can watch where the computer is) and then it happens...

I started feeling like a vibration but more like a tingling inside my brain and the only way i could describe it, it was like making a connection between whatever that thing was and me. i started hearing its whispers but i couldn't understand a single word it there was any at all, and i was able to feel exactly where it was, this was the most ''magical'' thing i've ever felt in my whole life my reaction was to go upstairs and tell grandmother, we stayed there until my mother came home from her work.

We stayed in the kitchen my mother, grandmother and then my uncle arrived, the thing was not there anymore.

But it was far from over, every afternoon i would still feel observed and then the nightmares began, i could be dreaming about anything, but at the end of EVERY SINGLE DREAM a shadow would appear and i would start to feel how it absorbs my energy ITS THE ABSOLUTE WORST FEELING, each time i saw the sun go down it felt like a condemnation for i knew what was going to happen...i started to try not to sleep, my grades went down i felt like reality was collapsing for me...

As an addition to this, one night my mom and i went to one of her friends house we were at the kitchen, all of a suddden a plate went flying towards my mother's friend and she managed to dodge it then i saw the shadow moving through the ceiling but nobody else saw it. they were left in shock when i told them at the moment what i saw...

My family took the hard decision of moving from a good place because of it, today i'm 25 years old, i've done so much research to try and find an explanation, but nothing solves my questions if it was sleep paralysis how could i move freely? how is that my grandmother gets in and that thing reacts? Why in hell an 11 year old kid that had no idea of anything goes through that? This video from sagan makes me think a lot about it... Cosmos - Carl Sagan - 4th Dimension - YouTube

i don't believe in anything paranormal or gods or anything, i think there's things science will explain in the future about our reality that will change the way we see our world, sadly studying something like this is so hard if not impossible...Thank you for reading and have a good life out there folks...

Okay, so I just have to write about this because it plagues my mind every few years and I still can't explain it and I'm just getting more confused as I try to research it. No one else has talked about it online as far as I can tell so if you've seen someone talk about it, please let me know or if you experienced it too also let me know.

Before I go on here's the specifics of the setting so maybe others who experienced or felt the same thing can find this post. This probably happened somewhere between 2003 and 2005. It was always in the same spot, in the playground/fenced area behind Lowell Elementary school in Bellingham, WA on the corner of Douglas St. and 14th St. There was a super scary old tree that had a dark hole in the trunk and kitty-corner across the street from that area of the playground was a house that I think was white or at least a very light color.

For context, I'm not really a paranormal gal if that makes sense. I believe in God and I believe there is a spirit "realm" so to speak. I believe there are spirits or presences that are bad or evil but I'm very skeptical about things like ghosts or whatever else. I'm not one to quickly believe a ghost story but I've absolutely felt evil presences and cast them out with spiritual warfare and prayer.

So here's the story and this is not exaggerated or made up at all. But I was like somewhere between 4 and 6 years old and I'm 25 now so this was a long time ago and I'm sure there's some things I've forgotten.

My friend Annie (name changed for privacy) and I both experienced this, both were terrified and have talked about it as adults and both still fully believe that it really happened. That tree with the hole in it was super scary to us, we had this feeling that something evil was in it and we wouldn't even approach it. I think we tried to a couple times but I don't think we ever got that close.

Frequently we would see what we called "the black flash" or "the black blob" very quickly flashing up or down Douglas St. way quicker than humanly possible. Basically in the blink of an eye which is why we called it a flash. But we also called it a blob because it was like a dark black shadow. It didn't have a solid form it was just a dark shadow. And this was in broad daylight btw, every time. So it would flash up or down the road and often (or almost always) it would go into that lightly colored house at the corner of Douglas and 14th through the chimney. And when it went inside, I kid you not, the window would go pitch black. Like all the light in the house had been snuffed out by a deep darkness. Writing this, it sounds silly or like its not a big deal. But I swear we were legit terrified and to this day as a 25 year old I'm still really scared when I think of it. Obviously we couldn't explain what we saw and it didn't make logical sense. But we both saw it and we both remember it. And the scariest part wasn't what we saw, it was what we felt. Because it felt like a thick evil. We were so scared thinking of what could happen to the people in that house and why it kept only going in that one house. As far as we know, Annie and I were the only ones who saw it or noticed it. I don't know why that is or what the heck it was. But I still think about it every few years and scour the internet for similar stories or anyone who can say they saw it too.

A couple years ago I'm sure I read somewhere that someone had died in that house with the chimney. I feel like I remember reading that and being like oh my gosh! That's why! It makes so much more sense now! But now that I'm researching it again I can't find anything at all about a death in that house or even in the area. So I don't know where that info went or if I just remember it wrong. But that aside, like I said Annie and I still fully remember what happened with that black flash, we remember how terrifying it was, and we still fully believe it was real. So what the freaking heck was that? Because I feel like I'm always going to wish I had an explanation.

And I mentioned earlier that I believe in God and I did back then too. But for extra context, my friend Annie didn't believe in God and she still doesn't so we were from quite different walks of life and both experienced and felt/sensed the same thing. I freaking need answers 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

This is one of the scariest things i have experienced in my life, even talking about it makes me tear up.

I was just laid in my bed when i heard a scratching noise outside (i thought it was somebody breaking into my shed so i looked out the window) Instead of being met with a small animal or somebody trying to break in i was met with something more sinister, To this day i have no idea if what i was seeing is real or in my head.

I pulled my blinds to the side and looked into my back garden, but instead of seeing either of those things i saw a ghostly white figure bent backwards on all fours (its head was the right way up though) It’s mouth was large and hung open and it’s eyes were pure white it had multiple red stains covered on it. It looked directly at me and ran, i quickly shut my blinds again and hid under my covers until i heard banging on my back door. Nobody heard it, everyone was asleep. I’m assuming this was a skin walker or something of the sort but even writing this brings me to tears for some unknown reason. My mind keeps playing tricks on me. This was years ago. However i’m still wondering if this was real.

So I live in the Appalachian mountains, which should be a clear sign of why this is happening. But every night once the sun goes down it becomes pitch black, can’t see more than 20 feet infront of myself. Every night I go outside to walk across the yard to my grandparents house to sleep for some personal reasons, but every time I get ready to go out I get this terrible gut feeling I’m being watched as something is out there waiting to get me, I even started carrying a knife with me to make myself feel a little more safe even though it probably wouldn’t do much for me. Although nothing ever does happen because neither of my dogs sensed anything and the crickets are making noise. Why does this happen to me?

I have dealt with this entity for a while. It first convinced me it was a legion of Native American spirits protecting the land. I believed it and pledged to protect the land after death. After talking with an expert on the subject she advised me to take back my pledge for my own sake. Which I did. The entity then presented itself as a legion of demons and attacked me. I had mostly been ignoring it up until now. Recently my father and I have been going through a stressful time and my father's health has been declining. Coincidentally he had been spending more time in the shed which the entity mainly dwells in. I'm able to sense the creature so can somewhat navigate it's attempts to influence me. It was tonight, when my dad sent me to grab something from the shed that the entity showed me, what I believe, to be something closer to what it actually looks like. A hollow eyed and bald entity. Even as I type this I can feel its gaze. Cursory research has led me to believe that this entity may be Bael. I came here to ask advice.

This happened in 1999 , I was driving home at around 3pm in the afternoon and it started to drizzle a bit, I took the back roads which go through some open fields, at one stage I noticed a man (roughly about 100 metres away from me) walking in the middle of the field wearing what looked like a cowboy hat with a stick on his shoulder holding a small sack ,as I was looking at him and thinking what the hell is he doing out there? Within a split second he came right up to my side car window , stopped for a second and then went straight through me and my car, I swerved and nearly hit a powerline pole on the side of the road. In shock I looked back in the field and couldn't see anyone there anymore..I continued driving home and by the time I got home I convinced myself I was seeing things and basically forgot about it in a few hours. Later that night I was watching the news and they reported a dead body found just a few hundred metres from where this happened , thats when it actually hit me , I got goose bumps all over my body and thought oh my god what the hell. That image has stayed in my head since then and I cant forget it. I have had a history of seeing strange things though, like seeing ghosts (I think) and dreams coming true the next day etc....Weird.

As some of you may see I posted a story about me from when I was younger. Re reading more of my journals I found another incident I had suppressed. It was 03/01/13. I was 13 years old. My father went spooking without me that night. Those of you don't know what I mean that is what my father called going to old places in the middle of the night and just walk around. He came home around five in the morning. I had school that morning. He woke me up in a hour everything normal. When I got home though things were off. I walked into my kitchen and I saw a strange box. It was old wood a medium bright brown. And it was heavy. It had a lock on it. The lock was made from iron I believe but what was so special was the keyway. Never saw anything like it. Imagine the m48 knife as the key. That's what it looked like. A spiral design. Never seen anything else like it. I'm telling you all this to press home that everything about this thing was strange. When my dad came home I asked him about it. He said he brought it back from his previous night spooking. He said he was deep in the woods around Lexington again. That's all he would tell me about it. He saw the box sitting there just waiting to be found. He carried it to the shed where he attempted to cut the lock off. Nothing he tried could cut that lock. He then took the oxy aclene torch to it and it worked. The lock fell to the ground but the box went up in flames. Not paranormal if you know how hot those things get it's no surprise. We put the fire out with water. nothing was left. Later that night I was lying in bed when I heard commotion down stairs. My father being the god fearing man he was grabbed his gun and walked down the stairs. On the kitchen table was the box. Untouched and relocked with the same lock. No burn marks. We had left the box on the floor of the shed. All the doors and windows locked. Saturday morning my father took it to the local Catholic Church. My father was a Baptist at heart but for whatever reason he felt it needed to be given to them. The priest took it no questions asked. Never saw the box again and we never spoke of it. I know this is a crazy story but it's what happened. If anyone can help identify the box or what it could have been or even the type of lock it had it would be a massive help.

Over the summer towards the end of June I moved into a friend's house. Me and my boyfriend got the whole basement which is 1 bedroom, a big open area with a fire place, a bathroom, a big storage closet, and a storage spot under the stairs.

I have had some upsetting things happen since I've been here. My roommate/landlord used to have a girlfriend living here with her two kids and the single room downstairs was the 6 year old little girls room. He told me she would be up at all hours of the night talking to someone or possibly just herself but that creeps me out and made me go into living here a little afraid from the start. Within a week or two of living here I started having horrible nightmares. (ive never had nightmares like these before living here i do have ptsd nightmares so at the time i was already taking a medication for nightmares as this went on i got perscribed to take a second perscription along with it) In one of the more recent nightmares I was told by someone I was put under a spell. Right after that I woke up and there was a wasp inside my basement. Idk how this happened. (this was just a couple days ago so one of the more recent) these nightmares have been getting worse and worse. If I am sleeping downstairs I almost always have a nightmare. But if I take a nap on the roommates couch upstairs I have never had a nightmare upstairs. If you want to hear more details about my nightmares lmk. One of the first times I had a nightmare I got out of bed to go sleep on the couch because I was spooked and wanted to be somewhere else I layed down on the couch and I swear It felt like something was pulling my ponytail that was hanging off the arm of the couch.

Also, I am just a student and my boyfriend works with my friend/roommate who lives upstairs and owns the house. I am often here alone and thing I hear things that make it seem like the boys are home. From seeing videos describing them my head goes to the idea of experiencing something that seems like a mimic. I don't know alot about them I've just seen a few people talk about online when I'm scrolling. When I am home alone the thing I hear the most is my bought friend cough. He smokes and has a very distint cough/clearing his throat noise. I will hear that and a lighter lighting as if he's smoking. I will hear his laugh that sounds like it's coming from upstairs. Sometimes it sounds like there is music playing upstairs. Does anyone have any idea what could be happening here...?

I need to know if there are people out there who have seen a wendigo

This doll is about a year old (from when I got it) from a thrift store and he’s always given me a creepy feeling. I’m not sure this is the right Sub to put this on but I wasn’t sure what other to. He’s kinda cute but lately he’s been showing up in different rooms and he seems to be homemade? Or at least his clothing is.
