a hand on my shoulder. I immediately woke up in
a cold sweat, absolutely terrified and panicky, with
the urgent feeling that I absolutely had to leave
the room. I grabbed my phone and went into the
common room, noting that the exact time I had
woken up was 3:13 am. I calmed myself down,
and ended up falling asleep later on in the night.
The next morning, as I'm eating breakfast with

I experienced this too, also from a grandparent that died of alzheimers, only it
happened while I was at work in my office, awake. I felt a hand on my shoulder and a
very brief flash of feelings of love/sadness and then whatever it was it moved through
me and was gone. It was so unsettling I had to go for a walk. When I went home I
found she had passed at that exact moment.
Of note: I am an atheist. I don't believe in god or religion or an afterlife. I'm clueless as

to what I experienced or how it's possible. Brains are weird.

Had to put my dog down. Next day, heard him distinctly run into my room, look at me, and
sniff like he used to do when alive. Saw no physical body but knew my dog was present.
After that, never heard or felt my dog again. It was like he was getting one last gag at me
before moving on.

Had a really cool red healer pup that was about a year old when I was younger. My
dad had let him out while I was at work one day, and he ran to the highway and got
hit. I came home to my dad burying him which was extremely tough. A few days
went by (I had only had this dog a few weeks) so I started to move on from the
situation. One night as I was pulling into my parents driveway from work, I shut my
car off and got outside. I proceeded to hear a couple of playful barks right behind
me, sounded identical to the little guy, but there was nothing there. Went over to
the tree he had been buried under and heard a few more barks almost right behind
me but saw nothing still. Even thinking about it gets to me this day.

I had decided not to write this but the comments I read here convinced me to
change my mind. When I was seven, my Mom died of cancer. The end was
expected so my Dad sent us kids to the pool with our Aunt. It was the fourth of
July. The pool was crowded. Around noon, I saw my Mom smiling at me from the
other side of the pool. I ran to be with her as my Aunt laid chase. I told her that
my Mom was here and I made her help me look for her. It was when we got
home that night that we learned of her death. She had died at 11:45 that
morning. Until the day she died my Aunt always backed me up when I told
people about this. I stopped telling this story after my Aunt passed, because
without a witness people just looked at me the same way I imagine all of you
are.

We had to put our dog down back in September(randomly developed seizures, we think
it was a brain tumor), but my mom, dad, and I have all experienced what we think was
her visiting us. I’ve heard her bark, seen little black flashes of movement, and have
heard the distinct sound of her shaking my nightstand slightly(causing the handle to
jiggle a bit) when she would go lay down in front of it and tap it on the way down. My
mom heard her shaking herself off like she would when someone came home, and my
dad has seen her 3 times. Once at the foot of his recliner, once walking around a corner,
and another walking out from under the table she liked to lay down under. I swear the
energy in the house changed in the week and a half she was gone while we waited for
the ashes. The second we got the ashes back it felt almost like it did when she was
alive. I miss her everyday, and still catch myself doing stuff that involved her like
glancing at spots where she would usually be found or leaving lights/TV’s on. I have had
the opportunity of seeing her in my dreams and those I felt were more vivid than
others.
[–] Oushin 6 points 5 hours ago
I have a similar experience.

I came home one day and noticed my dad carefully wrapping my lab’s rigid body with
large trash bags to take to the local Humane Society for cremation. Was one of the
saddest days I’ve had, since I still remember the day my parents picked me up from
elementary school with a lab puppy in their arms.
A few days later I was sleeping and woke up to the feeling of something licking and
pawing my face, but I was too tired to get up and investigate. The next morning it
dawned on me that it was probably his final goodbye to me!
I also haven’t experienced anything since. Thought your story was awesome and hope
you’re doing well!

We put ours down last August and I was having a really hard time without him. About a

his weight as he crawled into bed with me. Woke up bawling with nobody there. I don't
have a lot of faith or superstitions, but a part me wants to believe that he was coming to
see me one last time and say goodbye. Ugh, I'm tearing up just writing it out now.
[–] carmium [score hidden] 27 minutes ago
That's a number of "dog sounds" stories, and I have a possible explanation.

You know how we're programmed to see human faces in inanimate objects? We look
at a rock face or a Mars photo or a rough-bark tree and see a person. Similarly, I
notice that when there's a faint whiff of something indescribable in the air, my brain
"makes suggestions" of smells I know. Hair coloring? That awful stuff the lady
downstairs cooks? Often, I'm convinced I smell a particular thing, only to have my
roomie say "Now I smell it! It's the (whatever)!
Our brains keep files, so to speak, of things we have experienced, whether faces,
smells, sounds, physical sensations, etc. When you've just lost a loved pet and,
emotionally, you're still expecting to hear him, anything like a rustling tree, a
settling floor joist, an animal next door – things you wouldn't normally notice – puts
your brain on alert. It sends out suggestions of familiar pet sounds: dog shaking?
cat in the litter box? dog sniffing? a meow? and that's what you think you hear. Your
longing for just such a sound cements the experience in your mind, and now you've
"heard a ghost," and don't forget the experience. An you're convinced of it, because
your brain has essentially played a tape recording of your late pet.
[–] banditkoala 5 points 2 hours ago
OMG we had a similar happening.

Had our 12yo dog put down, few days later we're both outside smoking and hear her
unique snuffling sound come from the kennel.
Usually the idea of ghosts would scare the shit out of me but it comforted me.
Now I'm crying about her again :(
[–] KinkaJac97 2 points 3 hours ago
My dog has been dead for almost two years now, I've had my current dog for about two
years now. At first I didn't experience anything paranormal. However, lately I will hear a
dog shadow out of the corner of my eye. At first I thought was my current dog, but
she's always in her crate. I have also felt something furry brush up against my leg, I'll
look down and there's nothing there. Last night I got out of the shower, I heard a dog
ringing, then I heard a dog jump on my bed. I walk in thinking it's my current dog, but
she wasn't there.

My dog came to visit me right after she died, about two nights later, I felt her on my
chest, and I pet her until I fell back asleep. When I woke up, I saw her for a quick flash
when I opened my eyes next to my bed, but then she disappeared again. That was it.

[–] DruSparro 108 points 8 hours ago*
I wouldn't say creepy as in scary, but creepy in that it gave me goosebumps once I realized
what had just happened.
About 2 and a half years ago, a very close friend of mine was murdered very violently. His
death was violent and sudden, and left me deep in shock and grief. I'm still not over it. I'll
call him Jules*, it's close enough to his real name...
A few months ago, I was home alone, and my husband was at work. It was pretty early in
the afternoon, and I got tired and decided to lie down on the bed and take a nap. I took my
glasses off (an important detail), put them on the nightstand, and drifted off.
I woke up to hear our bedroom door opening, and although I was awake, I didn't open my
eyes right away-- but I remember thinking "Oh, my husband must have come home from
work, I must have slept a lot longer than I meant to..."
And then I felt the bed compress next to me as if someone was leaning on it. I felt two
warm hands on both sides of my face, and a kiss on my forehead. So I smiled, opened my
eyes, and looked up to see who I thought was my husband at first, leaning over me, with
his hands still holding the sides of my face-- like I said, I'd taken my glasses off, and my
vision is very bad without them, to the point where even if someone is just in front of me,
their features will still be blurry...
But it looked like my husband at first, as I looked up at him. Kind of a square face, dark
blond hair, and glasses. Even with my glasses off, I could tell he was smiling at me, and his
hands were still caressing the sides of my face. I remember smiling back and saying "Hey
you."
But as I stared up at his face, I started realizing that certain features were just kind of off--
the shape of his face was kind of different, his nose was too small, the glasses were
different than my husband's glasses, and his hair was cut much shorter than my husband's
and was a much darker shade of blond. And the shirt he was wearing... my husband
wouldn't wear anything like that. He doesn't even own a shirt like that. It was a black, tight-
fitting t-shirt, almost like a muscle shirt.
So, I squinted my eyes and lifted my head up a little closer. Once my vision sharpened a
little, I realized it wasn't my husband. I recognized that face... It was Jules. Jules was
leaning over me, with his hands still on my cheeks, and he was smiling down at me with this
look of deep affection.
I kind of gasped, and he smiled even wider, almost kind of like he was acknowledging that
I'd finally realized who he was. Then he took his hands off my face, leaned back, and
disappeared. He didn't fade out slowly like ghosts do in the movies, it was just like someone
turned an image from a projector off. He was just gone as soon as he leaned away.
I shot up from my bed, grabbed my glasses and put them on. Nobody was there. I looked at
the clock, and it was only 2. My husband wasn't off work until 6. I ran around the house
looking for him, just in case he'd come home from work early, and it was him that'd kissed
me; I was just trying to think of a rational explanation, like that maybe it was my husband,
and in my sleepy state of just waking up, I'd only hallucinated that it was Jules... I searched
every room. House was empty. I even called him at work, and he assured me he was there
and wouldn't get off until 6.
So, I just sat there kind of shaking, and I was covered in goosebumps. I wasn't scared,
really. Just shaken up. But I was also emotional, and started crying. The way he'd kissed my
forehead, touched my face, and smiled at me, was just so affectionate and loving. It was
like he was trying to let me know he was still around and that he loved me. That he wasn't
completely gone.
So... I don't know. Maybe it was just my grieving brain hallucinating that I'd seen Jules
because I'd been asleep and had just woken up. But god, the feeling of his hands on my
cheeks-- they were so warm and solid. The kiss on my forehead, I'd felt it. His mouth was
warm on my skin. I'd felt his body heat. It was so real. (Jules, if it really was you, man...
thank you. It still hurts, and I still think about you all the time. I'll always miss you. But
thank you, and I love you, too.)
I still get goosebumps thinking about it. He touched me, and I felt him.
TL;DR: I experienced very physical contact with a deceased friend.

Ive had so many paranormal things happen around me that at this point, it’s so normal and
doesn’t bother me anymore but during the beginning I was terrified.
I remember this house I used to live in had a ridiculous amount of activity in it. I was home
alone one day when I was about 11 and I was chilling on my bed with my cat while dicking
around on my ipod. The way my bed was set up meant that my back was toward the
bedroom door which I always kept closed.
I remember feeling a very sudden sense of someone watching me and I turned to look at
the door and saw the knob turn and the door slowly swung open by about a foot. I couldn’t
see anything through the darkness of the hallway but sure enough, I could hear a faint
whisper and it was whispering my name, over and over again.
Instantly my cat went nuts. He was positioning himself between me and the door, full
attention, and ready to pounce on something, but as soon as the whispering started, it
stopped, and the feeling of someone watching me disappeared.
The only thing that kept me from thinking I was nuts was the fact that my cat heard it too. I
really think whatever was calling to me didn’t like the fact that my cat was there protecting
me.

I have two: in the house I’m at now, everyone in my family claimed to have seen or sensed
something, but I just shrugged it off to overactive imaginations. I don’t necessarily
disbelieve, but I didn’t think there was actually anything in our house.
I was in my bedroom at the time, and I opened my eyes in the middle of the night, I had
woken up suddenly. However, to my horror, I saw a man on my bed. He was kneeling on all
fours facing me, grinning mischievously like he knew he was freaking me the fuck out. I had
never seen his face before, but he appeared to be blonde, but he was “white” and
transparent at the same time, if that makes sense. I shut my eyes tight and didn’t dare
open again until the morning. I’m just glad I didn’t have to pee.
The second thing didn’t really creep me out, but it was definitely paranormal. I was
horseback riding, and going down the dirt road to the barn from the trails. The stable is in a
historic area next to a battlefield in the American Civil War. It was early evening, dusk, and I
stopped because I saw a small group of civil war reenactors with their horses ahead
crossing the road. Only, on side they were riding was a wooden fence, and instead of
jumping the fence, they were walking through the fence. That’s when I realized they weren’t
reenactors. They didn’t seem to notice, see, or hear me or my horse. I found out from some
of the other boarders that other people often heard or saw things in the area as well, and
there were spots on certain trails that horses would refuse to go near.
Edit: spelling

I know this is only tangentially related via the "animal won't go any farther" angle but...
When I was a kid I'd sneak out and walk my dog and sometimes go all the way to the
canal path in the woods that was turned into a biking/walking trail. She would
occasionally stop and refuse to go one single step more and 12 year old me always got
freaked out about something like ghosts but now that I'm older I realize she probably
didn't want to get eaten by coyotes...

The first experience could have been sleep paralysis.

I’ve had very similar experiences, grey shadow with red eyes trying to choke me, a
ghostly banshee in a white dress slowly walking towards me screaming with an arm
outstretched and a wolf standing over me in my bed snarling and growling.
Oh and one time I felt like I “fell” through my mattress and my vision tunnelled until
complete darkness. Actually thought I was dying.

That first one kinda reminds me of a nightmare (the creatures not the bad dreams).
They basically sit on your chest while you're sleeping (or in this case hover over you)
and cause you to freak the fuck out.
[–] Nutterbuttercrunch 2 points 1 hour ago
I have chronic night terrors. They all started when I was like 17, and I remember the
first one vividly. I was fast asleep, and I opened my eyes to an old woman staring into
my face with the most furious look on her face. I've never dreamt such a realistic face.
And I did not know this person, she was just an old lady looking like she wanted to
strangle me. I screamed and kicked her, and she ran into my closet. I screamed and
screamed and ran into my dad's office, screaming that someone was in my room. I was
genuinely terrified, and so was he. And then I was like, "wait... I don't think I was
awake. What's happening?" and I just walked off trembling and went back to sleep.
Every night, for months after, I had another night terror of someone else staring at me,
crouched over me as I slept. It finally ended when I screamed into the person's face,
"leave me alone!". Now they only happen every few months, I'm in my 20s now. My
husband hates it when I have them, but they've never been like that since. I can't
explain it, but I swear that old woman was very real, and very angry.

I got 2. On Halloween night driving along a river in town, super foggy. Something ran across
the road in front of us. I could only see the bottom half and it looked like human legs
running but backwards like an ostrich. Really weird. Friends we sayin it was some urban
legend called the donkey lady.
Other one was when I was hanging out with my friend late at night like 2 am. We were just
playing video games and talkin shit. One of the things we talked about was la Chuza, which
is another urban legend of an demonic owl witch that swoops down and takes you away to
be eaten after you whistle 3 times in the dark. Anyway I had to go outside later to get
something from my car and my friend decided to prank me. He waited until I was at my car,
about 30 ft from the front door and from the front door he whistled knowing it would freak
me out. He whistled a 2nd time. Then a 3rd. At the EXACT moment he ended that 3rd
whistle, an utterly terrifying, loud screech (imagine a car burning out really loud) happened
right above me. I, scared af, looked at my friend hoping that he made that noise but his
face was like he saw a ghost. I ran as fast as I possibly could back inside and he was
freaking out as much as me.
We ended up doing some research and it most likely was a barn owl that heard a whistle
and thought it was a mouse or a rodent. But what freaked me out was that our experience
was exactly in line of what the urban legend is (aside from being killed lol) and also that we
were joking about that urban legend like 30 min prior.
[–] Ambitious_puppy 16 points 5 hours ago
I mean, urban legends need an origin they aren’t just made up, probably people
whistled and triggered an owl and just made up the getting taken away to be eaten....

When I was in kindergarten, we moved into an old house. My baby sister and I had the
upstairs, and my parents bedroom was at the foot of the stairs. Mom usually kept the baby
with her downstairs, and I'd play for hours upstairs with my new imaginary friend. Mom was
never creeped out by this, she was just happy I was content by myself.
One night my stepdad hears something upstairs and notices the light is on. He sees me
standing at the top of the stairs in a nightgown so he goes up to see what's wrong. He slips
and falls on his way up (breaking three toes in the process.) My mom asked him what he
was doing while she helped him tape up his foot. "Going to see why Kaci had the light on
and was awake at 2 am" was his answer. My baby sister woke up from all the commotion
and mom went upstairs to get her and turned the light off on the way down. Then she woke
up all the way and realized I was at my dad's, 700 miles away, and that my baby sister
won't go to sleep with the light on so she knows it was off when they went to bed. (Also, I
hated nightgowns and dresses and refused to wear anything with a skirt at that age.)
We're fairly convinced he saw my imaginary friend/ghost roommate. Mom asked me about
her when I was in high school and told me this story, and up until that point, I hadn't
realized she wasn't real. I've not seen her again (we moved out of that house but our family
still owns it) but definitely felt her presence when I stole the key in high school and was
using the house to be alone with my boyfriend.
TL;DR - my imaginary friend pushed my stepdad down the stairs when I wasn't home.

I've told this story on here on other subs, and maybe it's not CREEPY, but. When I was
younger my older sister was notoriously afraid of the scene in the Sixth Sense when the
mom returns to the kitchen and finds all the cabinets and drawers open. One day at around
12 I decided I was going to screw with her. The kitchen was off the living room, and my
room I shared with my twin was off the kitchen. My twin had gone to bed and I went into
the kitchen and very quietly opened every single cabinet and drawer so that whoever came
in next would see it and freak out. I then slinked back into bed and closed my eyes. Maybe
like 5 minutes later there was this slam against the wall at the end of my bed and my twin
and I jumped up to see a hairbrush that had been on her dresser across the room had
somehow flown across the room, hit the wall, and then was spinning from impact on the
floor. I stared not really understanding what happened and my twin jumped up and ran into
the kitchen to discover every single cabinet open. She screamed really loud haha and
everyone came running in who was there that night (my older sister and her friend, my
cousin, my mom).
Within like 2 minutes my mom had called every neighbor in the building or nearby and the
kitchen got flooded with all these older women freaking out and taking pictures. I was shy
so I never said anything haha.
2 years later when my mom was retelling the story to some friends I came clean. My twin
didn't believe me because of the brush.
I literally have NO clue how that brush flew across the room and into the wall. But there is a
part of me that likes to think something just wanted to help me screw with everyone

Similar story, when I was a teenager I began noticing strange things in my house, like
cupboard doors open while no one else was home, sinks running, etc. Whatever, I
brushed it off. But then one evening when I was home alone, I grabbed a cookie from
our cookie jar. It was a glass jar with a metal lid on the front, with no sort of air-tight
seal, the lid just gently sat on the jar. Anyways, I put the lid back onto the jar, and was
standing at the counter maybe four feet away. The cookie jar started rattling, and as I
glanced over at it, the lid shot off and hit me, hard. I ran screaming. No scientific
explanation for how that could have happened.

There was a period in my life where I saw a bunch of supernatural occurrences at this
creepy ass house I lived in as a kid. As far as I know there wasn’t anything haunted about
the house. We met the owner/builder. He built the house a few years prior so, as far as we
knew, there wasn’t any history to it.
During our time there we lost a lot of pets to weird circumstances. The cat I had since I was
a child was found dead and splayed out in a planter. We presumed she fell out the tree that
was in the planter. We had two dogs that eventually had puppies. Of course there were the
still born pups. We gave away most of the animals but kept the father and two of his sons.
The runt was found flattened on the street and the other son died from overeating. Later we
got a new dog to be the other dog’s companion. Our neighbors at the time abused their pet
goats. Eventually they lied and said that our new dog killed a few of their goats. Their proof
was a completely tanned hide of a goat. They blackmailed my parents by saying we either
had to pay for new goats or put our dog to sleep. My parents decided to put our dog to
sleep instead. Our last dog ran away and we never saw him again. Years before we had an
old dog since before I was born. On the day before I left to go visit some family out of state
he nearly bit my mom which had never happened before. We later found out he had
maggots growing in his body from sustained wounds from this plant that naturally grew in
our backyard. He was put to sleep before I got back.
The supernatural parts were various figures I used to see. Our backyard was pretty large,
almost an acre. On the land there was a guest house my dad used as his personal study.
One night I was forced to take some compost into the backyard. I saw a figure standing and
seemingly watching me from a few feet away. About a month or so before a friend of my
grandparents died. The reason I say this is because, for whatever reason, I knew the figure
was this person. I felt it inside me like a second sense. Being a kid I ran away in fear. I
never saw the figure again.
Some years later I was alone in the house. In the living room I could hear the house
‘settling’. It creaked and cracked. The house itself was made to be unnaturally long. Five
bedrooms but instead of two stories it was stretched out over the property. The living room
had an immediate view of the long hallway that acted like a spine for the house. I felt a
presence just creeping in the darkened hallway. It felt like it rested in the shadows just
slightly away from my view.
Another night I was all alone. I went to the kitchen to get a snack and then back to my
room in the hallway. I stopped once I was at the start of the hallway feeling something at
the opposite end. I ignored it and continued forward. As I was just a few feet away from my
room I saw a hulking figure rushing towards me. My instincts kicked in as I rushed into my
room within seconds and shut the door. I stared at my door for a few minutes waiting for
what would happen next but nothing happened. As soon as my heart rate went down I
didn’t feel the presence anymore. It was completely quiet for the rest of the night.
[–] floordit 1 point 3 hours ago
Someone could have died on the property. The house doesn't need someone to die
inside it to be haunted.
[–] robotdickens 3 points 3 hours ago
I feel like ghosts wouldn’t care about zoning and property lines. Also, it is entirely
possible someone died nearby. There’s a fair amount of coyotes in the area and they
often eat pets that wander off.

When I was younger, I had this night light that was shaped like a frog. It terrified me. I
used to have nightmares where it's eyes would bob up and down, then it would sort of
contort and turn into some sort of monster. As a kid, it terrified me so much I used to build
a literal wall of pillows on my bed to segregate me from that demonic frog. What's more is
that the thing would sometimes appear in different parts of my room when no one was
home, and it would routinely turn off and on regardless of the time of day, and sometimes
even when it was unplugged or off. Then, when I was about seven, my parents replaced it
with a different night light, and just like that, everything stopped. The nightmares, the cold
feelings, the fear all just seemed to disappear.
I still think it's out there, plotting to invade my dreams once more.

I’m fairly sure this house I used to live in was haunted. I’m a night owl so I stay up really
late. Well I guess someone didn’t like that because every night at 3 AM, no matter where I
was, a little girl would let out a bloodcurdling scream always directly behind me. The thing
is, she only screamed if I was awake, I’ve never awoken to her scream. My bedroom is
down a kinda long hallway with a bathroom in the middle, and my bedroom door has always
had a very secure latch. Well one day I had the door closed and I heard my cat scratching
to come in. I got up to let him in but he wasn’t there, I checked the hallway and the
bathroom but he was asleep on the couch. So I closed my door again and sat on my bed.
Well I hear the scratching again and before I could go check, the doorknob turned and the
door popped open a bit. I freaked the hell out and slammed the door shut again, but I could
still hear scratching.
If anyone could explain who/what these might be please let me know.

3 weeks ago I was over at my moms house, dropping off my kids for the weekend. I was
sitting on her couch and looked down the hallway and I said their was a spirit there. My son
says I’m lying, but I keep going on. I say I can see a figure there, it’s a woman. It’s thick in
the air. I don’t even know why I was saying all this because my kids are young, I’m atheist,
and I don’t believe in ghosts, plus this could scare them.
A few minutes later my mom tells me that I might want to go say goodbye to grandma
while I’m in town. She might pass soon. I immediately get up and leave, angry that my
mom hadn’t told me sooner, as I’d been at her house for 30 minutes.
Grandma is 5 minutes or less from my moms house. I walk in and they are closing her eyes.
Later it hits me. All that spirit stuff...it was my grandma, on her way out.

Was living in the basement at my mom's house (which had my room, a bathroom, a room
with a TV and two futons, a laundry room, and a storage room) when I was 18. Doors would
open and close by themselves, noises would come from other rooms, the usual little stuff.
Friends stopped wanting to come over to spend the night because the vibe downstairs made
them uncomfortable. I dealt with it, thinking that if there really was something living down
here with me, just peacefully coexist with it and don't give it attention. It was fine for a few
months.
Then, one day something flew off of a shelf in the "TV room" while I was watching Netflix. I
immediately ran out of the room and upstairs and hung out up there for the rest of the day.
No one believed me, naturally. Stuff of mine started to go missing too, which was annoying.
Fast forward a week after the thing flying off the shelf, and I fall asleep while binge-
watching anime on the TV in that same room. I had the TV set on a timer so that it would
turn off around 2am, just in case I passed out before turning it off. Sometime in the middle
of the night, I wake up to the sound of the door to the room opening, and foot steps
walking in. The TV had automatically shut off by now, so I could hear everything clearly. The
footsteps make their way into the room and I feel something standing over my bed. I hear it
breathing. I couldn't move, my head was under the covers, and held my breath. It stood
over me for what felt like forever, but it was probably only like 3 minutes. Then I heard the
footsteps walking out, and the door shut. I ran out of the room once I felt the coast was
clear, and upstairs into my mom's room. I woke her up, told her what happened, and asked
her if I could sleep in her bed the rest of the night. She said yes, then I fell asleep... until I
woke up, back in the room in the basement, right where I had started. I had just imagined
going upstairs, I guess. I thought that entire thing was just a dream, until I heard the door
open again, and the footsteps again, heading towards my bed. I ducked under my covers
again, and I felt it stand over me for a little while, before hearing it leave. I tried going
upstairs again, or at least I thought. But the same thing happened. I fell asleep upstairs in
my mom's room, and woke up back in the TV room downstairs. This loop happened again
and again, until finally, I woke up and it was daylight. Was that sleep paralysis? I have no
clue. I have never experienced sleep paralysis before, and I've never had an experience like
that night since. After that night, I started spending the night at my boyfriend's house.
Eventually, my mom sold the house.

Welp might as well, gather round kids, this is the story of the haunted state park. A couple
years ago I was living in Chicago and my friend came to visit because I was throwing a
Halloween party. It’s the night before Halloween and we decide to go skateboarding, well
my friend can skate I can do Ollie’s and smoke pot. Anywho, we make our way to Wilson
skatepark (name drop for any locals) and there’s nobody there. We’re there for about two
hours and nobody else ever goes in there. As we were leaving I take a couple pictures of
the place because the lighting looked cool and I send a Snapchat video to my girlfriend and
my friend who I was with. He looks at it afterwards and said “ I don’t remember anybody
else being there?” We head back to my place and I look at the snap on my girlfriends
phone. There’s four people in the background chillin. I look at the pictures on my phone and
there’s four fucking people there that WERE NOT THERE. I know I was stoned but fuck the
weeds not that great there.

I was alone in my house while my parents were having dinner at the neighbors, I was about
12. It was the middle of summer, so the front door of the house was open with a screen
door. As with most screen doors, it had a tension spring to auto close it, and it had an
unmistakable sound when it closed given that it would get to the last inch, and then loudly
slam shut as the spring released it. So I'm in the kitchen, where I can't see the door, and I
hear the door clearly slam shut. I figured one of my parents came home for something so I
didn't pay much attention. A few minutes later I start to get really confused because I hear
a door shut again, upstairs this time, where my sister and my own bedrooms are located. I
cautiously climb the stairs, no sign of anyone, except my sister's closet door is closed which
was unusual, and the light in the closet was on (could see it on under the door). At this
point I was really freaked out. I crept back to my own room next door, got a bat and silently
sat listening for about an hour. Not a sound. I eventually got up the courage to go back in
the room and throw open the door, and there was nothing there. Although, my sister's room
did have a access panel to our attic, which I was then convinced someone was in the attic. I
shut the door to the closet, and my sister's room and cowered downstairs until my parents
got home. Never heard either of those doors open the rest of the night, and never did figure
out what truly happened.

I've told this before but I'll say it again.

Back when I was a wee lad and still being put down for naps, there was always a shadow
person in my room. Every time, as soon as my mom left, he would pop up at the end of my
bed, do a little bounce, and just stare at me with no face. In fact, he had no discernable
features. He was but an opaque shadow. Yet I could feel him looking at me. At first, I would
call for my mom, but she would never hear. As time went on I grew accepting of his
existence, but I was never comfortable. Eventually I grew out of scheduled naps and I
haven't seen him since, but I know he's still there.

WARNING: LONG READ So I'm pretty sure my current home was haunted. When I was a kid
I used to hear a baby cry in my house and I would see a man in a black cloak. Nothing
crazy ever happened to me but I was always freaked out.
When I was in middle school. I had to wake up before my family to get ready for band
practice and I would always hear footsteps and see the front and back door doorknobs
turning as if someone was trying to break in. I would look out the window and wouldn't see
anyone standing at the doors. No one in my family believed me and after a while the
activity stopped so I ignored it.
Then in high school things started to get worse. When I was home alone I would hear
screams, the TV would turn on and off by itself, and thing would fall off tables/countertops.
I would also have dreams of the man in the black cloak and he would just stand in the
corner of my room and look at me. Everytime I had the dream he would creep closer to my
bed. The last time I had the dream he ended up at the side of my bed and started to choke
me. I woke up in a cold sweat crying. My parents thought it was stress so they just
recommend relaxation techniques.
A few weeks passed by and nothing happened so I started believing it was stress. But then
one day my parents woke up in the middle of the night to find me staring at them from the
foot of their bed. They called to me and I wouldn't respond. They tried to get a reaction and
nothing, then suddenly I reached for my throat and started gasping for air. My face started
to turn blue and my parents couldn't do anything to help me. They were about to call 911
when all of a sudden I stopped turned around and went back to my room. My parents were
in shock, they waited a minute or two and then walked into my room to find me sound
asleep. They asked me about the incident the following morning and I was oblivious to what
had occurred. They were spooked and finally believed something paranormal was going on.
They went to our local church and got a priest to bless the house soon after that. I haven't
had an incident at the house since but I still see/hear things while I'm out and about.

This might be long, I’ll include a TL;DR.

During the summer of 2014 I got a job working at my college in the maintenance
department. I got to work alongside tradesmen and learn some really neat skills.
Specifically I worked under the HVAC tradesmen. A coworker of mine and I were tasked
with going through the empty dorm rooms and checking each and every air conditioning
unit and making notes of what had to be fixed.
The two of us decide to take a 15 minute break in one of the dorm rooms. Just sit at the
desk, eat a snack, and shoot the shit.
As we’re talking, we hear a door close at the opposite end of the hallway- the end with no
entrance or exit. We assume that a coworker of ours was wandering the building looking for
us. It’s important to note that we’re situated directly next to the main entrance of the wing.
No one could’ve come in or left without us seeing them.
We investigate the noise and find no trace anyone was there. The staircases on this end of
the hall were fire escapes and rigged with alarms if they opened. Every single dorm was not
only empty, but locked as well. Using our master key we check a few rooms to make sure
no one is fucking with us. We return to our break and deduced that the noise we heard was
pipes or perhaps someone slammed a car door outside.
As we continue talking, I begin to hear footsteps walking towards the room we were in
coming from the opposite end of the hallway where we heard the door close. I can still
remember how heavy they sounded. They didn’t sound angry, but they sounded deliberately
loud, like they wanted to be noticed. Ultimately I thought i was imagining them and ignored
what I was hearing.
About an hour later we finish our job and head back out to our work vehicle. As we get in
the car, my coworker turns to me and asks, “Hey, nameless_thirteenth, did you happen to
hear footsteps in the hallway when we got back to the room?”
I told them I indeed heard them, but I didn’t want to acknowledge them cause I didn’t want
to sound like a nutcase. I’m not outright claiming something paranormal occurred, but my
coworker and I were the only two people who had access to that building at the time, and to
this day we cannot decide on a likely explanation.
TL:DR; Heard a door close in an empty building that only a coworker and myself had access
to. There was no way in or out of the area without passing us, but we found no trace of
anyone being there.

When I was young, my family and I moved into a 3 story colonial home that sat on top of a
hill and overlooked 17 acres. One day we were rummaging through some of the stuff they
left behind in the basement and we stumbled upon a crate filled with dark magic and tarot
cards. My dad instantly took the crate, made a fire, and burned it on the property but it was
super odd because the smoke that came from it was not only huge in size but pitch black.
Most items that are burnt don’t produce smoke like that. Especially from a pile of cards. It
was just super strange. And we used to hear things go up and down the stairs occasionally.
It was a really pretty..yet creepy house.

We were looking at houses to buy, and there was one house that we were really interested
in. The first time we went, my husband and I both got a really uneasy feeling in one of the
upstairs bedrooms but we didn't mention it until later. Since the house was so perfect and
reasonably priced (and because we secretly wanted to see if we had the same feeling again)
we decided to go back a 2nd time. That time we brought his parents and did not mention
the creepy room.
Everybody loved the house, but the minute my mother-in-law set foot in that room she
backed out of it, wide-eyed, and said, "Oh no. No no no. There's SPIRIT in that room." We
tried to provide a rational explanation but she was dead set on there being a spirit, so much
that she went outside to wait for us.
While she was outside, I took my camera back upstairs by myself. Upon entering the room I
said, "If you're actually here, please show yourself in this photo." I deliberately left the flash
off so there wouldn't be any dust orbs, but instead I got a real orb right in front of my eyes.
In retrospect I'm assuming it was just one baseball-sized orb of light moving really fast in a
circle and flickering like a strobe light, but it looked like it was several. It disappeared as
soon as I took the photo. As quickly as I could I said, "Okay, thank you. Now for proof, I
need you NOT to be in this photo." And there was nothing. And then I ran down the stairs,
passing my husband at the doorway and whispering, "We are NOT buying this house."
I wish the photo was a more accurate representation of what I actually saw, but at least
there is something that shows up. https://imgur.com/a/0BpDklo
TLDR; I saw a bunch of orbs in a creepy room in a house we decided not to buy.
One showed up in a photo when I asked, but not in the other photo I took just a
second later, where I asked it not to show. Link to photos included.

Are you saying that the pictures were taken in the room pointed out in the photo? The
windows don't match.
[–] NeedsMoreTuba 1 point 1 hour ago
In the photo of the front of the house? No, the little window was in the 2nd upstairs
bedroom. It had a creepy little door (probably about 3 feet tall) that led to a whole
other room with the rounded window in it. We thought that, if anything that would
be the creepy room but it wasn't. The creepy room is on the other side of the house.
[–] Talory09 1 point 1 hour ago
Gotcha! Thanks for explaining.

It's too bad the house had bad vibes. It was lovely from the outside. I shudder
to think of having to live in a house that made you feel uneasy, though. You
made the right call by not even considering it.
[–] NeedsMoreTuba 2 points 1 hour ago
It was a great house, and it had an apartment out back which we could've
rented out to pay the mortgage. We thought about buying the house anyway
and living in the apartment, but it was a tiny one bedroom and we were
looking to start a family. It was just that one room that had a bad vibe, but
after what I saw I just couldn't live there. I wish the picture was a better
representation, but at least it shows something. That was 5 years ago and
I'm still bummed that we couldn't live there but we totally made the right
choice. Our current home isn't the least bit haunted.
[–] Smallmammal 1 point 3 hours ago
It's the mom psychic or something? Does she regularly talk about spirits?
[–] NeedsMoreTuba 1 point 1 hour ago
No, but she definitely believes in them. I guess we are all a little sensitive to
energies, but none of us would call ourselves psychic.

When I was young I had a packet of crisps on the side in my bedroom. I turned to face
them and they flew off the top and straight past my head.
Not sure if it was a dream but it seemed real
[–] PerfectGoldenToast 3 points 9 hours ago
A ghost that steals crisps is scary for sure. The worst kind of haunting.
Sends pringles up my spine just thinking about it.

But can the ghost fit their hand in a pringles can to get the last few without all
the pringles dust getting over you because you have to tip it up?

I've caught glimpses of my deceased grandparents, great grandparents and a few passed
family and friends. They stand by watching for a brief moment and then disappear in a
blink. Other times, an otherwise wild animal like a sparrow will come strangely close to me
and I will feel a certain person's presence.
I told my mother once, when I was a little kid, but I did not like it when she told my aunts -
- too much attention and it made me feel awkward. So I stopped mentioning it. I am an
adult now and keep any sightings to myself.
The way I see it, if my deceased relatives and friends want to visit, it's not because they
want me to spread the news.

I was a freshman in college and living in the dorms. It was probably about midnight and I
was finally getting to bed. I had all of the lights turned off but where my dorm was located,
there was always light outside our window. It was at this time that I saw something black
oose around in the corner of the room (near the window). It spread out like a dense black
blanket and hovered over me with a screaming face. It started to get closer to me and I was
paralyzed in fear. Right before it got close enough to touch me, my phone rang. I was able
to bolt upright & flip on the light while answering the phone. It was my sister asking me in a
worried tone if I was okay. I guess one of her friends told her that she had to call me
immediately. She kept putting off saying that I would be asleep or something but her friend
was persistent. It was honestly one of the scariest moments of my life.
[–] jzap 3 points 6 hours ago
My grandmother's house is haunted by my grandfather's ghost. He used to smoke a pipe or

a cigar. After he died, my grandmother stopped sleeping in their bedroom because she
claimed he "visited" her at night. We never saw anything, but, from time to time, people
who slept in that room told of smelling cigar smoke during the night. It became a bit of a
joke that grandpa was visiting again.
Some 40 years later, after grandma died, her niece bought the house from the estate. She
complained that she thought her sons were lying to her when she accused them of smoking
in the house, and they denied it. She swore she was smelling cigar smoke, and they
vehemently denied that they smoked.
My sister asked her, "Where have you been for the last 40 years? Everyone knows that the
house is haunted, and that's grandpa's cigar smoke." She hadn't smelled it before, and
thought everyone had been joking all those years. And, yes to this day, grandpa is still
smoking.

Once, while at the beach, me and some friends decided to take the boat out on the creek
and head to the ocean. While out there, we saw one of our friends, his girlfriend, and his
brothers on the boat. We told him we didn’t know he was at the beach and invited them to
eat dinner/have drinks at our house that night.
A couple hours later while sitting around I called him and asked if they were coming. He
said he’d love to if he didn’t have to work that day. Confused, I asked if he had headed back
home from the beach (a 3 hour drive). He told me no, he hadn’t been at the beach at all. I
called some other friends I knew worked with him thinking he was fucking with me but they
all said he’d been there all day. Never figured it out and all of us are freaked out by it.

Probably just night terrors but...

When I was a kid the top of my bed was under my window in my room. When I was 6 or 7 I
was laying down starting to fall asleep and began to drift off, when my blankets began to
weight down on me. I tried to move but couldn't as it felt like something or someone was
holding the blanket and sheets down. I snap out of my fog of starting to fall asleep and see
a shadow cast on the wall from the window behind me. It was what appeared to be a horse
or donkeys shadow. Only we didn't live anywhere close to where animals like that would be,
and my window faced our back yard. It turned so it appeared to be looking into my room. I
felt a coldness and as I started to freak out a light flips on in the hallway and the tension on
my blanket prison releases. My mom is going to go use the bathroom. I get up and sprint
out telling her about what just happened and she got mad and made me go back to bed for
school in the morning. I think I did eventually fall back asleep, after crying for awhile.

Driving home late one night with my family and my cousins, i was probably ten or so years
old. Seen a large group of people pulled over on the shoulder of the highway taking pictures
and pointing at something in the sky above a large flat field. Two very large glowing white
balls visible behind the clouds moving up and down slowly, one would be high up and one
would be low to the ground, they would pass each other alternating their height. We slowed
down and got a decent look but never stopped, i remember feeling "fight or flight" and
being very scared. I've seen all sorts of aircraft/ lights at night but have never seen
anything that resembled these lights since or before.

So in 5th grade there was this creepy ass corner in the big Field of our school. My friends
and I would usually walk and talk there about random stuff. One day one of my friends
introduced us to the red dress girl. We had no idea wtf it was but apparently you have to
play with one other person. So my friend and I had to connect our fingers together and if
they moved outward, the answer was yes. Inwards, no (or vice versa). We thought that she
was just making up a shit story because there was this "abandoned house" next to the
creepy corner and the only thing separating the corner and abandoned house was a wire
gate. There was a broken window and chipped paint all around the house. "Ok, whatever,
that doesn't prove anything" my friend and I said to my other friend.
Here's where the creepy stuff starts.
We did a couple rounds of red dress girl. We started off with simple questions like "red dress
girl, are you there?" And "red dress girl, is it sunny?" We didn't believe it still because
someone could just fake an answer by moving their fingers. Well we wanted a more
complex request for "red dress girl" to complete, so my friend and I decided to make a
request. "Red dress girl, give us a sign. Make a boy playing soccer in a red shirt slide and
fall". Well when we finished our request, it happened. My friend and I screamed like little
shits. It was probably a coincidence, but we were scared af. We thought that paranormal
activity was going on in that specific area of our school and we didn't tell anyone because
we knew nobody would believe us. It still gives me chills when I think about it.
I swear this sounds so fake but it happened.
Edit: addition to the abandoned house because I don't think I was specific: the story was
that spirits that were possibly relatives or friends of the red dress girl, even enemies of her,
would roam in the inside of the house.

My girlfriend and I live in an old house built in 1860 and have experienced a variety of
different strange things happen in our bathroom. One night as we're watching a movie we
hear a rattling. The bathroom door was violently shaking, almost of the hinge and remained
shaking for 2 minutes straight. After staring at it, it suddenly stopped and the bathroom was
perfectly normal.
I investigated the bathroom door to see what was causing the shaking and the only way I
could replicate the noise was by punching the door from inside the bathroom very fast.
One of the strangest things I've ever seen in my life.

Not really paranormal, but a sleep paralysis thing. I was about 9 years old, and i woke up
from a really bad nightmare, and at the foot of my bed I saw a fucking clown. I nearly shit
my pants, but it dissapeared after like 2 seconds, and I could hardly sleep for weeks. Kinda
tame compared to other stuff here, but it traumatized me as a child.
[–] kiritanpo3 2 points 2 hours ago
My parents moved out of the home I grew up in and into an older, but rather nice country
house about 4 years ago. The elderly woman who had lived there alone had recently died,
opening it up for them to purchase. I was in college at the time and went to visit during
Thanksgiving. The house was beautiful during the day but always unsettled me at night,
though I largely attributed this to my tendency to get creeped out easily rather than
anything supernatural (I’m a pretty harsh skeptic). Still, nights in the guest bedroom proved
sleepless and I often laid awake in bed after hearing a strange noise or feeling an odd
sensation, usually just as I was drifting off to sleep. One night, fed up with my overactive
imagination keeping me awake, I grabbed my blanket and went into my parents room,
shutting the door behind me and bundling myself up on the floor next to their bed. It must
have been around midnight. As I was finally starting to nod, there was suddenly a crystal-
clear, abrupt knock knock knock on the door, jolting me suddenly awake. My Mom stirred
in the bed and after a few seconds, called sleepily, “Come in,” probably assuming it was me.
To my complete and utter shock (and horror), the door responded by pushing itself open,
about 4 feet open. I was frozen. “Mom,” I said finally, “…I’m right here….” For some bizarre
reason (which in retrospect I’m guessing was my Mom spewing off whatever “ghost”
knowledge she could easily access in her semi-delirious state), Mom mumbled, “You’re not
suppose to invite it in….”. By this point Mom, stepdad, and I were all wide awake.
Nothing else happened after that point, but it’s something I still wonder about. The next
morning I messed with the door and looked around for possible sources of air flow but all
the windows had been shut. We also had only 1 pet cat at the time, which had been
sleeping on the bed with my parents. I have absolutely no idea if it was paranormal. I’m
inclined to say it wasn’t because, like I said, I’m a skeptic. But, jesus… that timing is a hard
thing to try and explain away…
[–] karemomenw 2 points 1 hour ago
I work in a place that functions sort of like a hotel - groups come, each person sleeps in a
private room with a private bathroom, etc. Recently, there has been a great deal of
seemingly paranormal activity in room 5. The rooms are separated into two different
sections - there is a new section that was more recently built, and the old section which is
made up of an old farmhouse from the 1800's. Room 5 is in the old section. About 5 months
ago, I was changing the sheets on the bed in room 5 when the toilet flushed all by itself. I
laughed it off and joked with my coworkers that the room must be haunted. Nothing really
happened again in room three until last month, when another coworker was cleaning room
5. All of a sudden, she got a horrible migraine and panic attack at the same time. She
NEVER gets headaches or panic attacks, so this was really alarming. She was crying
uncontrollably and had no idea why. The next guest who stayed in room 5 the week after
complained of an "uneasy" feeling the whole time she was in the room, and said she felt
scared at night in the room. Now the next string of events is where it gets really creepy -
another housekeeper was cleaning room 4, which is directly across from 5. She said that the
door of room 5 opened slowly with no one inside, and a $5 bill left as a tip from a guest flew
off of the desk it was placed on, as if someone had swept it off.
The next guest who stayed in room 5 directly after the $5 bill incident complained that it felt
like someone was trying to push her out of the bed from beneath the entire night while she
was trying to sleep - like someone was under the bed kicking upwards. She also said that
she heard a "grumbling" noise all night. But, she was alone in the room the entire time - no
one could have been making those noises. This brings us to last week - I was working in the
basement at work when a coworker runs downstairs and is looking for our boss. She was
crying and trembling and said there was a medical emergency. We all go running up and
another housekeeper who was cleaning room 5 was writhing around in pain on the ground,
SCREAMING like she had been stabbed. As soon as the pain started, it stopped. She said
that she was cleaning room 5, when she got a horrible migraine - she left room 5 and was
walking to go sit down in another room when she collapsed onto the floor and blacked out.
The other two housekeepers were with her (because no one cleans room 5 alone anymore)
and said it looked like she was thrown onto the ground violently. When she came to, she
independently said "I don't know how to explain it but I was thrown to the ground",
confirming what the other two housekeepers had seen. Lastly, I was working in room 6 a
few days ago, which is also directly across the hall from room 5. While I was in there, the
light switched off all by itself. I don't go into that section of the building anymore.

Jesus, my time has come.

When I was younger and still in high school, I would have my buddies come over all the
time. We always took long nighttime walks on the golf course and shoot the shit. We
probably thought we were being really deep, but I'm sure it's normal high school stuff.
Location, I lived next to a golf course stuff where my main road ran along side it and we
would hop on the trail, this is important. We always headed up 3 stop signs and then took a
left to get on the trail.
So, we start out this night late fall and headed up the street like normal when we reach the
first stop sign. Brian turned around to walk backward and noticed a dog following us. We
shoo'ed it away and continued on.
We made it to the next stop and lo and behold, the dog is back and sitting. Its eerily quiet
and I dont like the situation at all and continue on.
At the next stop again, we encountered this dog. Except, it at the time seemed more like a
silhouette than anything. When we turned around it was sitting and then it opened it's
mouth. Nothing came out. No cold breath, no noise, and no teeth. Pure black. It reminded
me of a dog with no lower jaw, but still not right
We all took off running into the course and never looked back
[–] PinkSpaceKitten101 3 points 9 hours ago
sometimes in my room I sometimes see a glimpse of something, like a body part. It was
white and slightly transparent. I rarely see that.
But I hear a lot more paranormal stuff than see paranormal things. I rarely hear footsteps in
the attic, very rarely. when there's an open notebook laying near me, I hear tapping on it
even tho there's nothing on the notebook, same for pots and pans. I once heard a male
voice say shut up in my room, it was at midnight, I assume.
I sometimes feel it touch me. At night, I heard a males voice say shut up and then I felt
something stroke my face, forehead to ear. I also felt something touch my back when I was
watching a YouTube video. And I also felt it push a strand of hair behind my ear. I also felt a
slight slap on my inner thigh.

Once when I was sleeping in my room at a house my friend and I was renting I woke up and
couldn’t move sleep paralysis more then likely. My room was very dark which was odd
because there was a street light right outside my window. I heard a loud thud from around
where my door was I had a reading nook above my door with a ladder so whatever it was
I’m thinking it came from up there. I could see a shadow moving quickly with loud footsteps
from the door and to the side of my bed and it growled into my ear. Terrified I was finally
able to move I got up and ran out of my room and down the stairs my roommates dog woke
up and looked over at me and began growling and ran past me and up the stairs barking.
When I went back up the next morning my room door was closed. I didn’t shut it and my
friend was sleeping in the living room because her room was hot so neither of us have been
up there. Yeah it was pretty scary and I never went into the reading nook again.
[–] FUNd1p 1 point 8 hours ago
Posted previously but its most terrifying:

I grew up in an old house in the Chicago Suburbs and experienced so much stuff as a little
kid until I was a teenager. When we tore it down to rebuild a new house, there were
newspapers stuffed in the attic for insulation from 1940's saying the US won WW2. When I
was about 4 or 5 I couldn't sleep, I always seemed to sleep with my face towards the wall
because my room was scary. I decided to roll over and I opened my eyes, what I saw still
chills me to the bone. I saw a full apparition of an older lady floating out of my closet, she
had red eyes, and was wearing a long dress that looked very old. She was luminescent,
semi-transparent, and white in color and floated right towards my bed (about 5 feet away).
I jumped out of my bed in fear and fell on the floor towards the door. I have never been SO
frightened in my life, I was literally frozen in place and in shock as this figure slowly moved
towards me staring at me the whole time. I would try to get up and run, but I was frozen in
place and could almost feel my soul get up and run, but not my body. I finally got up and
ran to the door, I gave one last look in my room and she was still moving towards me with
her head/eyes following me - I noped the fuck out of there real quick.
I ran to my dad in the front-room, but he dismissed it as imagination. But I will tell you, my
imagination has never scared me so bad where I was completely frozen in fear... I will
remember it forever.
My sisters have creepier stories - babies crying at night - 3 finger scratch marks on doors -
someone screaming their name into their ear while sleeping - other apparitions of old men,
black figures, unexplained noises, screaming, and more... I don't believe in god or the
afterlife really, but I sure as hell believe in ghosts which is contradicting I know.

I never told my husband what I saw mainly because of the dream he had. So we had our
bed in the corner of the room and we had our feet toward where the headboard is at and
our heads at the very edge of the bed we were both laying down facing up.
He was quietly napping and I was scrolling through facebook reading something when I had
an urge to put the phone down and look to the side. And I saw the outline of a friends face
who had passed away 3 years earlier. I felt comfort knowing he was there.
And by outline I mean you know how when you stare at something long enough and you
look away you see the outline everywhere you look, well something like that except his face
stayed in one place, it was like he was standing above both of us. And a few seconds later
my husband woke up freaked out and gasping for air.
He said he dreamt he was there asleep next to me when all of a sudden an angel with huge
white wings that filled the room grabbed him and pinned him down to the bed and told him
"You are here because I am holding you here." He said the angel was standing above him
pinning him down by his shoulders.
That friend was super protective of me while living, I just know he still takes care of me
even now.
[–] Smallmammal 1 point 3 hours ago
Why would he attack your husband? Is your husband abusive?

[–] FatTwist 2 points 2 hours ago
My friend never liked him while he was alive but then again he was always
protective of me.
Anyways during that time we were going through a really, really tough patch we
were considering a break or mainly a divorce, everything was really shitty at that
time.
If we would have seperated then he would have left me with nothing and nobody
(mainly because I don't have many friends in this area, thank you anxiety) and
super exposed to people that were trying to basically ruin me and our relationship. I
don't think it was an attack but more like don't you even think about leaving her.
He (my friend) doesn't like it when I talk about him but I know he's always watching
me and making sure I'm ok.

Not creepy per se but still not really explainable.

I was in 7th grade and was really worried about my grandfather On my moms side who I
was insanely close to because he was in the hospital and not doing well after falling and
breaking his hip. About a week after his fall, I have a dream which is very unusual in itself
because I never remember my dreams.
I’m sitting up on the left side of my bed, and my dream self thinks that’s strange because I
always sleep on the right side. I look to the right and my grandpa is sitting there smiling at
me. I’m overjoyed and hug him and I’m so happy. He tells me to go tell my mom down the
hall that he’s alright. I do that and bring her back to the room and she’s beginning to smile
when I wake up to my in the flesh mom getting me up for school.
I immediately ask my mom if grandpa’s okay and she says yes. I go to school in a really
good mood because I think this dream means that my grandpa is going to get better.
I come home from school and mom tells me that grandpa died that morning at about 4 am.
I cry and tell her about the dream and to this day she thinks that he was telling me
goodbye.
This isn’t the first time I had a dream like this. I had a dream four years prior to this about
my grandma on my dads side. She had already been dead for a few years, but she told me
that she was okay too. Although I did have to move some frilly packaging stuff from an
upright coffin in order to talk to her.
TLDR; I see dead people (sort of).

the laundry room and started talking to me. I hope i just imagined it but i just recently
moved in with him a few months ago so theres no telling if something is actually there or
not. I wasn't afraid when it happened but now that i think about it, it was a bit creepy.
[–] DawnGegany 1 point 4 hours ago
This isn’t necessarily paranormal. But it’s definitely something that made me believe that
there might be something else up there.
My friends and I were fishing in the wee hours of the morning. Not at some pond or lake but
at the beach, fishing into the ocean. We had little luck and caught nothing but small
catfish(which didn’t put up much of a fight because of how young they were). One of my
Friend(John) insisted on keeping them in the water tank nonetheless. We also made an
extra line using just a roll of fishing line and attaching a hook onto it and casting it as far as
possible, letting the tide carry the line out. It was pretty pricey cloth fishing line (we were
still students back then).
Here’s the ‘paranormal’ part. When the sun started to poke through the horizon, we decided
to call it a day and head back home. For those that don’t know, catfish have pretty solid
heads. As in it’s head is literally very hard. John decided to take one out of the tank and
literally started bashing its head with pliers, remarking how hard it is and suggesting that
we try it too. It came to a point where he was gripping its tail with the pliers and smashing
it on the ground (think of the Hulk smashing Loki in the first Avengers movie). I knew he
would move on to the others when the one with him eventually dies. I quickly carried the
watertank to the edge of the rocks before overturning it and releasing the remaining catfish
back into the sea. While packing up, someone accidently kicked the roll of cloth fishing line
off the edge of the rocks and into the sea (it wasn’t coiled up yet) we saw the plastic roll
slowly sink and drift out into the ocean. It belonged to John and he was pissed as hell and
started throwing a tantrum. Wanting to resolve the situation, I took my fishing rod out again
and tried casting my hook into the sea. Hoping to hook into it while the others packed up
their own stuff. John continued to kick up a fuss and told us that we needed to pay him the
cost of the line. I kept at it but all I reeled back in was seaweed up until the point everyone
was fully packed and ready to go.
I told them I’ll try one last time. I looked up into the skies and prayed something along the
lines of “please, if there’s anything up there, or if the baby catfishes that I saved from
torment can hear my prayer, help me out this once” I casted the line. I hooked onto
something. My first thought was seaweed again. Until I was reeling halfway and it felt
different. When it was close enough, I saw that i hooked onto the cloth line. One single
fishing line. In the fucking sea. Everyone was amazed. I was freaking out. My one and only
encounter with something ‘paranormal’

Definitely the time i watched a shadow person walk into my roommate's room. I had seen it
numerous times before out of the corner of my eye, and i always dismissed it.
This time i had my new dog. Only had him 4 days and the pup never made a peep the
whole time we had him. All of a sudden the dog jumps and barks at my bedroom door, and i
watched about a 6 foot tall shadow figure walk past my doorway into my roommate's room.
The dog went fucking berserk. That's how i knew what I was seeing was real
My roommate always had horrendous nightmares when he lived in this apartment, never
before, never after. I always suspected this entity had something to do with it.

My family all went to visit a dead relatives grave. It was around 9-10pm. Mom doesn't feel
like going and being a kid, I keep pestering her to go. Eventually, she started getting ready.
I look out the window while waiting for her.
There standing outside our gate, was a small dark figure clutching at the rails. It was pretty
dark so I could only make out a silhouette but it looked like a small girl with curly hair. Ran
to tell mom about it but when she looked she was gone.
Didn't feel like leaving anymore.

Was only one awake at 2am at my current house. My family has frames of religious quotes
in the hallway outside my room. Heard a loud thud but was too scared to check it out. When
morning came, I looked outside my room and saw one of the frames 3-4 feet away from the
wall. The quote was “anything is possible” with a cross on the side.

I've had several experiences, but my first one sticks out the most.
I was about 15 and had gone to the movies with my dad. Had to use the restroom about
halfway through, so I went upstairs (which is where they were). I was about finished when I
heard the door to the bathroom open, then shut, and then a woman crying. She went in the
stall next to me and she was pretty loud. Washed my hands, but something told me to
check on the woman. I knocked on the stall door and asked if she needed anything. No
response. Asked again if she needed anything or for me to get someone for her. Again, no
response, but she was still sobbing. Knocked on the stall door again, but this time, it
opened. Looked inside, but no one was in there, yet I could still hear crying. Have never
exited a room so fast in my life.

So, one night this past summer, I was sitting in a loose tank top and not much else. My
husband suddenly looked at me and got silent, and obviously very angry. I poked at him a
bit and it was just... I had no idea why he was angry and it's not like, a usual behavior of
his.
Finally, after some hours of prodding he turned to me and was like, "So, I would really love
to know why there is a hand print shaped bruise on your inner thigh? Wanna explain?"
I was fucking SHOCKED. And yes, there was a hand print very freshly bruised deeply very
high up on my left inner thigh, but elongated. He definitely had not done it.
It's fair to say I am extremely certain I didn't do it- I simply couldn't bend my arm in the
right direction at all, it was palm towards my back, with fingers towards my front- basically
as if someone behind me reached between my legs and grabbed forcefully.
Besides, the fingers were about 2" longer than mine and palm print much wider.
This is also a lot more nebulous but looking at the mark made me queasy and really
unsettled. My husband realized I was legit confused and upset about it and chilled pretty
quick.
A few weeks later I woke up with a whole bunch of tiny scabbed pinprick scratch marks on
that same spot on my thigh. Some were deep enough to bleed under the skin like bruises.
Nothing since. But that sick feeling when I saw the handprint on my leg... that was intense,
man. I fucking KNOW I didn't do it.

Playing man hunt with my friends. See my friend hiding behind a tree. I call his name and
say I found you, then turn around and see him getting out from under the deck. I look back
at the tree and the hooded figure I saw (my friend was wearing a hoodie) was gone. I then
find out 59 or so years ago someone committed suicide in his shed. I honestly wish I was
making this up

I have a good story from when I was a teenager-

My friends and I had a bad experience with an ouija board when we were about 13.
Two of my friends were upstairs standing on a deck with an ouija board trying to contact
spirits while another friend and I were downstairs in a bedroom also using an ouija board.
It wasn't working for my friends upstairs but the planchette was moving for my friend and I-
the spirit was answering questions and stuff.
Well I don't know what got into our heads but we started taunting the spirit, telling it that
"it was weak" and "needed us" to move the planchette.
I don't remember what made us start talking like that, but we took our hands off the
planchette.
All at once the planchette moved on its own off the board, the bedroom door burst open,
there was a big rushing like wind that went past us, the Venetian blinds above the bed
started jumping up and down and it looked like something heavy and large was standing on
the bed.
Well, of course my friend and I screamed and tried to run out of the room, but it felt like we
were running through molasses.
As soon as we passed the threshold of the door everything felt normal and we bolted
upstairs to where our friends were.
We were screaming our heads off, but our friends didn't believe us that that had happened-
they thought we had made the whole thing up to mess with them.
Anyway, needless to say that was the last time my friend and I ever played with an ouija
board.
I'm still friends with these girls to this day and they remember it happening. (Well my one
friend remembered it happening, the other two remember us screaming and freaking out).

Probably the day when my aunt passed away like about 5 hours after the funeral I was
watching t.v around 9:30 pm and I was wearing a white blanket and while i was watching
the t.v I saw a shadow of a hand come onto the blanket right where my thigh was. I knew it
was not coming from the t.v because the show I was watching there was no hands being
shown at the time and right after the hand disappeared I felt a draft on my neck.

This past August, I went to France with my father, stepmother, and stepbrother. One of the
AirBNBs we stayed in was an old castle from the 1800s which was out in the countryside in
Normandy. My father had rented the entire place, so it was just the four of us. There were
two towers, one on each side of the house. The larger tower had two floors, the first had
two bedrooms, which each had their own bathroom attached, and the second floor just had
a door that opened into an attic. The smaller tower had one bedroom on the first floor with
a bathroom attached, and then a singular bedroom on the second floor. My father and
stepmother stayed in one bedroom on the first floor of the larger tower, while my
stepbrother stayed in the other since he was afraid to be away from them. I, on the other
hand, loved this place and wanted to be as far away from them as possible. I stayed in the
bedroom on the first floor of the smaller tower. We got there late on the first night, and
everyone was tired. I went upstairs and put my suitcase down by the bed. Then, I went into
the bathroom and opened the window (which, for reference, opened inwards, and had to be
latched shut). I went back downstairs to say goodnight and grab my backpack, then ended
up going back into my bathroom to take a shower. I hadn't been gone for more than three
minutes tops. The window was completely. closed and latched. I wanted to think that it was
the wind, but it couldn't have been blown shut since there were no other windows open.
None of my family had been up there because I was only downstairs for a minute, and I
could see the door to the smaller tower the entire time.

So a couple years ago one of our cats, Toby, had gotten very old. We didn't know the exact
age, but we knew she was older than 17. She had abruptly become seemingly very ill, and
we knew she was at the end of her life. Our other cat(who had always hated Toby) noticed
too and bacame freindly, almost comforting to her. I had helped her with everything that
day, and her greatest efforts included trying to walk. That night, she was brought into my
parent's room to have comfort with the "illness".
That night, I dreamt of a shimmering figure with striking likeness to Toby, walking through a
thick mist, meowing for what seemed like help. She turned her head and the second she
saw me, I woke up with cold tears in my eyes.
It was 4:07 in the morning. I knew she had died. I fell back to sleep... Somehow.
I was awakened about two hours later by my parents, and before they could say anything, I
said "it happened, didn't it?" They nodded and told me that they noted she had died just
around 4:00.
TL;DR, elderly cat died and showed up in my dreams shortly after.

That's a number of "dog sounds" stories, and I have a possible explanation.
