So I just found this sub, and I thought I'd share one or two of my stories on here. So 6 years ago I was homeless. It was just me and my cat in the woods. I used to live in this wooded area that over the years had a lot of suicides via jumping off the cliffs that lead to the ocean, and a lot of OD or murders of homeless people in the past. Let me explain this area first.

So it's all craggy cliffs with a thicket of trees and high bushes. A lot of people like to hike through. Now, it sounds like a horror movie set up, and you're absolutely right. But I don't scare easy, and I wanted privacy for me and my cat. So one night I woke up around 3 in the morning. From what I would guess about 100 feet away I heard this really beautiful singing. I woke up from it. I mean it was very strange on how feint it was but it woke me up instantly. Then out of nowhere the singing stops. I'm in my tent with my knife drawn just to be sure. It's 3 in the morning after all. Without hearing any footsteps, which would be impossible for my surroundings I heard a damn woman's voice inches from my tent.

"Is he awake?"

I vocally say "what the fuck." And leap out of my tent with my knife. Took me 5 seconds. I got out, and no one was there. Not even a hint of anyone else. I had my light on, wide awake. Nothing. After a cigarette and standing out there for a few minutes I went back to bed.

That was the only real spooky thing that has happened there, some small things here and there, but never before sunset.

Just as the title states, my husband and I stayed up pretty late the other night binging a show. We finally decided to head to bed, I went upstairs, closed the bedroom door and turned the fan on then laid my head down while he headed to the kitchen to fill up his water bottle.

The second I laid down, I heard what can only only be described as a demonic, something out of a horror movie scream coming from downstairs.

I was frozen in fear for a moment, then decided to text my husband and ask if he heard it too.

He immediately texted me at the same time to confirm he heard it and as soon as he did, he bolted to the living room to check on our 2 year old daughter as she was sleeping on the couch, to find her passed out, mouth open and snoring, so we know it couldn’t have come from her. Not that she could make that kind of sound to begin with, we just were trying to make sense of it.

But it did come from our living room.

I feel actually insane explaining it because it felt like something that only happens in horror movies, I’ve never experienced this before.

We live in the city, and it was -35c that night so we had all our windows shut, the sound didn’t come from outside, we ruled out any animals noises as we don’t have a ton of foxes in the areas, let alone in the city.

Our home is 114 years old, and right across the back alley from a funeral home (selling point for us) and when we first moved in, our neighbours and a few others had stated the house was haunted but in the past 2 years we’ve lived here, we’ve never experienced anything that terrifying.

The odd shadow figure in our peripherals, sounds that could be chalked up to our cats, sleep paralysis has frequented me more often, but as for paranormal activity, I wouldn’t confirm our house is necessarily “haunted”

It hasn’t happened since, We’re both extremely confused and slightly terrified.

I did smudged our home heavily the next morning, windows open and let out the stagnant energy.

Anyone have ideas on what it possibly could have been, if not a terrifying paranormal event?

Dispatch sent me to a wreck on the outskirts of town. The caller reported they believed to see a vehicle go off the roadway into some thick trees near the track. They couldn’t provide an exact location only a vague eight mile stretch of hwy based on landmarks.

The highway ran parallel to the tracks, bordered by thick trees.

I began my search, driving slowly along the shoulder and scanning the area. I made a loop around for the first time and didn’t find anything.

I requested a drone to assist in the search. I rolled down the windows and continued for the second time. About two miles in, I heard a voice shout out “Over here!”

I called out dispatch and ran into the thick wooded area and found the wreck. The male driver had succumbed to his injuries. I then heard a soft cry coming from the back. It was an infant. The child was not hurt and given to ems. We combed the area and didn’t find anyone else.

Do you think it was the babies father’s spirit?

It creeped me out but I was so glad the baby was ok. I included this story in detail on my YT channel. The link is in my bio. YT @policingtheshadows

Since I work night shifts, I like to spend my nights off at the gym or driving around. One night last week I found myself on a secluded road ending at a boat ramp, somewhere completely rural. A pair of railroad tracks crossed through the road on the way to the boat ramp. I've been here quite a few times during the day but I hadn't been there in a while, and figured I'd go during the night to see if it's a good stargazing spot.

Now I'm more of a logical, skeptical person when it comes to the paranormal. I love reading spooky stories, and I love watching true crime. I've always said that I need a genuine encounter with something supernatural that defies logic to convince me. Being at this boat ramp definitely did.

I had no reason to believe anybody else was there. While it is so secluded that no lights are on in the park, I felt something was there. I didn't feel alone. It wasn't long until I noped the fuck out of there, maybe 30 seconds, tops.

Having an interest in true crime, I know of a serial killer that had once operated in my area in the 70's. I did not know any specifics of the victims or where they were found, only that they were found "in orange groves", if that will give you any hints.

So tonight I decided to do a little digging; tried to find maps, newspaper articles, or archives that might've given some indication as to where any of his victims were found. But I had one: in a documentary that's on YouTube, a split-second shot of a newspaper declaring his 3rd victim found...at that road, at that railroad crossing. Instantly, chills ran through my entire body, and I've been sobbing for no reason since then. Even now, as I'm writing this.

Granted, the remains are long gone, as they were found in 1973. The killer is behind bars. Whatever I felt there that night, it was horrifying. And that was before I knew of its relevance to that case from back then. It's to the point now that I will NEVER go back there at night. I did not like the energy I felt there that night. I've told of this location to a friend of mine who is a paranormal investigator, and they said it's possible, given my reaction to the location, that it may be haunted by the spirit of his victim.

Has anyone else had an instance like this? Where you got strange, scary vibes of a place, only to learn later that it has some gruesome history?

Hello! A couple months after I moved into my house around two years ago, I was showering pretty late at night. There’s a window in the shower, with a frosting on it. I heard 3 knocks on my window, which I assumed was my boyfriend messing with me. I knocked back the same way. I was tempted to open the window, but did not. I asked him after, “how much are you able to see in from outside?” and he didn’t understand so i asked if that was him knocking, it was not. I know it wasn’t him because we were both in tears freaking out!

I never heard of the superstition of 3 knocks until a couple months after, when I came across someone talking about it online and saying to “NEVER answer and don’t knock back” and that’s when I got concerned. It’s funny because at that point i kept telling my boyfriend I was cursed because of the bad luck I was having. Not only me but loved ones too. Maybe it’s coincidence. I hear things fall sometimes, maybe it’s coincidence too. I’ve always been a skeptic, but lately i’ve been convinced.

It started with me feeling like someone was right above me when I was asleep. not quite sleep paralysis. when I opened my eyes no one was there. But it felt like someone was hovering right above me, and I would be face to face with them when I opened my eyes. but nothing. this happened before I found out about the 3 knocks potentially letting spirits in

that hasn’t happened for a while, but the past few weeks, between 2-3 am every night I hear creaks throughout the house, in a way that feels like someone’s moving from place to place. i’ll even feel footsteps or sense footsteps around me, like someone’s coming toward my room. it’s so convincing that I sometimes think it’s my boyfriend coming to my room and I will look and no one is coming. I feel like I just hear strange things, and it makes it hard to sleep until 3 am or so. it’s literally 3 am as i’m writing this because idk what to do!

edit: it’s 4am now, I just woke up in a panic after hearing a noise, my dog was looking towards the bedroom door, which I sleep with completely open, and it was nearly closed. it never moves on its own!

TLDR; accidentally invited ghost in? weird things have happened and i’ve had bad luck, and just an overall sense of unease lately, and I keep thinking back to those 3 knocks. What can I do to undo answering those 3 knocks? everyone says to not answer but I can’t find any solutions for people who did answer lol.

A couple years ago I was rappelling down a cliff when I slipped, fell, and broke my leg. When I fell, I heard a voice that was coming from inside my mind I guess, that told me "Slow down" in a very stern, almost commanding tone; the same tone a teacher uses with a disruptive student or something else. It was clear, concise, annunciated, and stern in tone. It was male and deep in pitch, and had a very generic/nondescript American accent (US English).

When I was laying on the cliff, stunned from the fall, I heard "this is a warning" from the same voice.

I don't have the video anymore, but I rewatched it many times and nobody said anything of the sort to me. None of the guys present even talked like that anyway.

Was this just my subconscious trying to warn me? Was it something else? I heard it clear as day. I was going through quite a lot back then and extremely overstressed & not coping with the healthiest of methods, so if it was some spirit talking to me, I guarantee he wasn't talking about my rappelling speed.

I help my parents at their business, and recently, I was on my way to work with two other guys who worked for them. We were sharing creepy paranormal stories and laughing, while my parents sat in the front seat, focused on their own conversation. So I asked my mom if she had ever experienced anything paranormal. Before she could answer, my dad chimed in, reminding her of an encounter they had both experienced at their old job. You see, I’m from southern Chile, and they used to work at Termas de Puyehue, a popular hot springs resort that has been around since 1910. I’ve been there a couple of times it’s surrounded by deep forest, and it’s really beautiful!! Y’all should look it up, that’s also where they met <3 So, they told us that one night during their break, they and some friends decided to walk through a forest trail. It was a hiking trail managed by the hotel, meant for guests who were staying there. During the day, people could walk it freely, but at night, it was completely off-limits for obvious reasons 😭 still, they thought it would be fun to explore it after dark just for the lols. It was pitch black, and the only way they could see was with lighters, and I think one person had a flashlight. (Mind you, this was before they had cell phones, so no quick access to light.) As they were walking, a tall man suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He was dressed in formal black clothing, wearing dark sunglasses literally like a stereotypical cult character. They were all pretty startled and were like hey you’re not supposed to be here at night sir. But the man didn’t say shit. He had no source of light on him, yet he walked deeper into the forest and just disappeared. Completely creeped out, they all decided to turn back immediately, laughing it off yk. Does someone have any similar stories or theories idk about what this could’ve been??

I am in no way reaching out for physical help or intervention from others, the only thing I can walk away from this with is advice. For the past few months my mom has been speaking of this "spirit" she calls clarence. Since this began her behavior has become increasingly concerning.

According to her, he was her husband in a past life and is her spirit guide. She was never aware of clarence until she purchased a spiritual pendulum. For those unaware of how this works, she asks the spirit yes or no questions, and it will move the pendulum with the movement corresponding to it's response (in circles, back and forth, e.g) I believe this was the gateway.

This seemed innocent at first, she'd ask silly questions like "is my hair blond?" and it would reply no. Her hair is brown.

Things started to take a turn very quickly and it hasn't slowed down since. This was right after my grandmothers passing, so likely around august - september. I believe that if this is genuinely a negative spirit, it is taking advantage of my mother being in a vulnerable state.

She started relying on this "clarence" to make decisions FOR her. She began taking hallucinogenic drugs like mushrooms and DMT to strengthen this weird connection she has with it. When doing this, she can supposedly hear it talking to her in her head. She goes about her day consulting it out loud, and supposedly getting a response inside her head. She supposedly dreams of him and can see his appirition. She claims to see orbs as well.

Even worse, she considers herself some sort of spiritually enlightened perhaps because she genuinely thinks she can put her hands on you and ask this spirit to heal you and that HE WILL. Typing this out right now is definitely making me realize even more how crazy this sounds.

She circles back every conversation back to the topic. Think like an ADHD kid off their meds always finding a way to shoehorn their hyperfixation into every possible scenario. That's her. She goes "I know you don't like to hear about Clarence..BUT" It consumes her life every single day.

I recently brought this up to a friend of mine, she's 30 and I'm just entering adulthood but since she is older than me she has more of an experience. I mentioned the healing stuff to which she laughed thinking it was more of a hippie thing but the more i explained she looked very disturbed. She told me something similar happened to her dad, and she made me realize that my mom might be unknowingly under the influence of a demon.

This makes me very nervous. My mom has fought her whole life to get herself straight. She struggled alot as a teen. She became homeless at times while I lived with my grandparents, went through absuive relationships, addiction, etc. finally when I was twelve is when she became fully independent and was able to support herself on her own for the first time. I feel like this "entity" possbily tricking her into a false sense of security so it can have control over her is taking all of that away and it's genuinely upsetting and worrisome to me.

I have no way of leaving home on my own. I have never had a job because my mom has never given me the opportuinity to learn how to drive. I am 18 with little to no life skills. Hell, I didn't know how to preheat an oven the other day.

Luckily, I met my amazing boyfriend around the time this started happening, so he tries to keep me away from home as much as he can but he's also a busy guy so I can't always rely on him to whisk me away from all my problems.

Really, all I'm asking is: Do I have something to worry about? Could she really be under the influence of a demon, or am I just freaking myself out? I can provide more info if needed, I really just want more of an idea of what could be going on here. Regardless this behavior is crazy and I don't know what to do. I just need some clarity.

This is my first reddit post and am only sharing this because of the "update" I recently got.

I (33M) am a skeptic when it comes to anything paranormal. I generally don't believe anything related to the paranormal and would find explanations for what may be deemed paranormal that is, except for one which happened to me and my siblings back in 2000.

My family (my parents and 2 younger siblings) lives with our grandmother in a 2-storey house. Our family lives on the ground floor whereas my grandmother has the second floor to herself. My parents have a separate room while my siblings and I share the same room in separate beds. Our bedroom and our parents' bedroom was connected by a shared bathroom. My grandmother usually comes to our room and uses our bathroom to pee. I guess it was to check up on us while our parents weren't home yet.

Anyway, one night, our parents took an unusually long time to come home. To pass the time, my siblings and I watched Beauty and the Beast in one of those VHS tapes since it was our favourite Disney movie back then. We were watching the movie for some time when suddenly the door to our room spontaneously opened and a few seconds later, the door to our toilet opened and closed -- and we heard the flushing sound of the toilet. This was followed by the opening of the toilet door and the opening of our bedroom door. I remember my siblings and I being in a state of shock and we huddled together on the corner of the bed just crying. I also distinctly remembered that the television turned to static and my siblings and I were freaking out the entire time. At that time, my siblings and I were around 9,8, and 5 years old, so we were fully aware of what was happening.

Our parents arrived and saw us crying but they didn't really think anything of it.

The next day, my mother took me to the bathroom and told me that my grandmother has passed away. I was certain that I did not tell them about the events that happened the previous night.

More than 2 decades have passed and my siblings and I never really discussed it. And I conveniently thought of that event as a false memory since I never really got any confirmation from external sources that whatever happened was real, nor was I able to talk about it with my siblings. I lived my life thinking that I never TRULY had a paranormal experience.

Anyway, I am currently doing a PhD in the United Kingdom and I visited my family back home in the Philippines during the holidays. The entire family was in the car and we were talking about my grandmother's last birthday celebration (we were part Chinese and she may have been 70y/o for that birthday so it was a special celebration and was thus memorable). We were reminiscing about the event but then my mother suddenly mentioned "Do you remember about the day she died and you were crying even though you didn't know your grandmother was dead?" She then went into some detail about the events my siblings and I experienced that night. Apparently, my younger sister told my mother about the night when it was her turn to be told about my grandmother's passing.

Freaked me the fuck out.

So, some years ago, my husband unfortunately passed away. We were very close and you could say that we basically grew up together. High school sweethearts. We got married and had amazing kids. He died very young with cancer. He died almost 4 months after being diagnosed. It was beyond comprehension for me what was happening. I thought we would raise our kids and grow old together. He wasn't even 40 years old. In my wildest dreams, I never thought death would touch us in the way it did.

The day he passed, it was extremely hard for me to get to sleep. When I finally did, I had an extremely vivid dream. My husband and my dad were together. My dad had also passed away a few years prior. They were both in great shape and looked the same age. Both were smiling and having fun! My husband then said to me, "I had to tell you that I was ok! But I'm going to get in trouble. "

The dream was so real and still stays with me today! I'm just wondering and often have as to why he would get into trouble telling me he was ok. I know in my heart is was REAL. Why would he get in trouble? And by whom? I still think about what his last words in the dream from me were!

I lived in a semi-detached house, and my next door neighbours had an old little jack russell. They didn’t treat her right, she was left in the back garden all night, and frequently she would bark continuously. For a period of time, I had bad insomnia so I have spent literal hours of my life listening to this dog bark. My point is that I knew the exact sound of it (she got raspy as she got older), and I could pinpoint the sound coming from their back garden.

One day, my mother (who was friendly with the neighbours grandmother) came in and told me the bad news. Neighbour’s dog was dead. I was upset because she was a sweet thing, but I was also surprised. I said something like: “Oh no, when did it happen ? I heard her barking just last night.” My mum looked at me weird and said that I must’ve imagined it because she had died almost a week ago. I straight up couldn’t believe this as I had heard her distinctive bark clear as day, so I ended up messaging my neighbour who confirmed she’d died about 5 days prior.

I believe in the paranormal but I’m also skeptical so I don’t know what to think. I told my friend and she laughed and said it was another dog, but it sounded exactly like her and came from their back garden. I mean, I fell asleep to her barking almost every night, so part of me thinks maybe my brain was filling in the sound when she died. But there were nights when she would be quieter as well, so I’m not sure. Just thought I would share this and see if anyone had a reasonable explanation.

A few years ago, my husband and I were in Vegas and decided to spend the money to do "tourist trap" stuff. So we went to Zak Bagan's Haunted Museum. We both went in with the knowledge that "something of sorts" might be there. We went ino the room with the dybbuk box, and the minute I looked at it, my 40 year old tattoo raised, got red and itched like crazy. I showed it to my husband, he raised one eyebrow and said "Hmmm, don't scratch". As soon as we left the room, the itching was gone, the redness went away and it went back to normal. The tattoo was an exact copy of my Grandpa's-I got it 2 days after his death. Any thoughts?

About 2 years ago at around 11 pm my husband & I were in our bedroom with the door closed while he got a pre roll for himself to take outside. Our bedroom is at the very end of our dark hallway. My husband opened the door and we both jolted back - a bubble the size of a soccer ball stood dead still right in front of the door so close it could’ve touched the door. It was at eye level. It was a light grey/white misty color my husband & I froze in shock I asked my husband “are you seeing this” and he hesitated before swallowing his pride to say “yes”. The bubble was disturbingly still before the top of the bubble pulled apart I watched the bubbles rim pull away retracting its way towards the bottom, the same exact way a large bubble pops. It disappeared completely. My husband sprinted to the bathroom nearby and acted like nothing had happened. He said he didn’t want to talk about it when I asked. This is one of several encounters I have had over the span of 10 years , it being his first. I asked him shortly after we were married if he believed in spirits, and he was quick to vocalize they aren’t real. I warned him that it’s something I have dealt with no matter where I have moved. My parents sat down and told my husband that they didn’t believe me for the longest time, until they both experienced seperate occurrences where something knocked on the walls both said they shouted out on different nights that they both thought they were around the corner messing with one another. I experienced so many encounters at this new house that I would lock myself in the bathroom because of the skylights because it would happen so frequently and I felt tormented. Before the house was put up for sale my parents both told me my grandmother before she had passed told them she woke up to something shaking her legs at the foot of her bed, at that time she knew something was in our home telling it “You need to go away. You are not welcome in here. I still experience things frequently. It stopped being less frightening now because I expect it. My question could this bubble have been? This is the first time I had physically seen a formation apparition plain as day.

I’ve been working in the hospitality/service industry for seven years, and I just had the weirdest encounter. Weird is an understatement—it was unsettling. Today, I served a woman who looked like she was in her late 20s. She was alone, and at first, I thought she was very pretty, classy, etc. I walked up to her and asked if she’d been to the bar before. She said no and asked me for drink recommendations. As I started listing some, she cut me off mid-sentence and told me how adorable and beautiful I was, staring at me intensely, unblinking, pupils super dilated. It was creepy, but I just said thank you. The way she said it felt flirty, which I initially brushed off as her just liking women. But the staring never stopped. Every time I looked over, her eyes locked onto mine, unmoving. Then, mid-conversation, she suddenly asked, “So what do you do?” I was confused and asked what she meant. “For fun?” she clarified. I told her I mostly worked and studied, and she immediately replied, “Don’t do that…” I laughed nervously and asked, “Why? What do you do?” She stared deep into my eyes—so deep it felt like she was looking into my soul—and said, “I… do self-care. I’ll get back to you on that one.” I tried shifting the conversation, asking what kind of alcohol she liked so I could recommend something. She smirked and said, “I like all animals.” I froze, confused. Was she joking? But her expression was serious. Maybe she didn’t know what I meant by spirit, so I clarified, asking what type of alcohol she preferred. She repeated, “I told you, I like everything.” I was so uncomfortable. I pointed at a few popular drinks, and she responded, “You can give me whatever you want.” I took her order and left as fast as I could. I had my coworker bring her drink because I didn’t want to go back. My coworker later told me the woman complimented her lips but seemed angry, refusing to make eye contact.

That’s when it got weird. I had to return to her table later. Again, unwavering eye contact, no blinking. I asked if she wanted another drink, and she said yes. As I served her, curiosity got the best of me, so I asked if she lived in my city. She smiled and said, “I like to live in the moment.” I laughed and asked, “So you’re from here?” Instead of answering, she lifted her drink and said, “Cheeeeers.” She was avoiding the question. At this point, I was beyond creeped out and walked away. Later, when my coworker dropped off her bill, the woman wouldn’t even look at her. She would only talk to me. I had to process her payment myself. As I did, I asked, “What are your plans after this?” (Take in, it’s almost midnight.) She tilted her head and asked, “What are YOU doing after this?” I laughed nervously. “Well, I have to clean and close.” She smiled. “Me too.” My stomach dropped. I asked what she did for work, and she replied, “I’ll get back to you.” It wasn’t a joke. It was chilling. After the transaction went through, I asked her name. Again, she smiled and whispered, “I’ll get back to you.” At that moment, I felt pure fear. Her intense, unblinking stare made me feel like I’d see her again—whether I wanted to or not. As soon as she left, my anxiety skyrocketed.

My coworkers said they felt chills just being near her. Her energy was off. She had manic, dilated eyes but didn’t seem drunk or high. And then I learned something even stranger—the hostess never saw her come in. She entered through the hotel’s employee exit. No one uses that entrance. It’s 3 AM, and I can’t sleep. What did I just experience?

Today, I went on my lunch break & walked to the restaurant near by to pick up my food. It was a gloomy day, quite ugly to be exact.

There was a homeless lady who called me by my name. This felt odd, cause we never met. But my mood was automatically drawn to her. She smelled, but she wasn’t stink. She smelled…natural. As if she was nature. It was like a stink smell but an acceptable one

She had 2 bags of groceries filled with loose apples and oranges. It looked odd cause normally people will just buy a bag of apples or at least put them in the plastic bags. She said “I had something to give you.” & she’s shoving through these fruit.

She handed me a notebook and a pen, saying I should write the things i need to do and get done. I was shocked, because i did need another journal since I do write alot.

I wanted to thank her somehow & asked how can I pay her back. She says “why pay me? I didn’t pay for this. All of this was given to me to help you.” & as she said that, the sun automatically came out and she looked up to it as if she spoke to the sun.

I thanked her, and i wanted to run by the restaurant to get her a quick meal but by the time i got back quick, she was… gone…

I kept the journal and i smell her scent on it every now and then. I’m writing it in, and i wrote that i will do my laundry (ADHD sufferer, having done my laundry in 4 months) & i finally did it….

This happened back in 2020. It was around 3:00 AM when i started having a weird dream. At the beginning it was just me, floating through the streets of the town i used to live in back then. I saw a guy walking down the street and from the shadows a group of 3 approached him, knocking off his cap, and pushing him asking for his belongings. He started refusing and after a few more pushes one of the people in the group pulled a knife and stabbed him 4 times. Two in the abdomen, two on the back.

I then woke up, looked at my phone, 3:25 AM. I went back to sleep.

5 and a half hours later i woke up to my phone being bombed with texts from my ex gf.

Her brother had been robbed and stabbed last night around 3:20 AM. 3 people. 4 Stab wounds. Same place i saw in my dream.

He made it.

I feelt something strange when my brother died yesterday that I can’t explain

My brother was 36 years old and had Down syndrome. We were very close. I took care of him his first 20 years like he was my own child. He was a truly loving and empathic person. After I spent 8 days a nights at the hospital, hoping and praying (not to any good). I was telling him about how much I loved him, about memories, scratching his arm and played whit his hair. But his body couldn’t handle his sickness. He was fat and had lots of other problems after he had pneumonia that he almost died of 2 January. He almost had a heart attack by then but survived but whent in narcosis. He woke up again but couldn’t walk sense then. He went to the emergency hospitals two times after that. I was asking for a sign the hole week. And our family whit mother, father and us 5 siblings was there day and night. We hade some god times together whit him and the family. He had oxidgin mask a lot the last weeks. But this Monday he said that he was seeing spiders and snakes all over the hospital. No sign of lacking of oxygen before. He had so Much panic. Also asking why och that he was scared. After one and a half day whit mofin and he’s body colapsing, the doctor and family decided to take of the mask. It was some hard hours after. Everyone in the family was there in the room and outside. I sat and hold he’s hand. I started to get really tired, and sleepy. Then I felt like red fire in my wains. From the hand that I was holding him to my heart. Feelt like it was electricity. It stung. I guess it was like 5 times. Afterward I felt someone playing whit my hair. Like the wind spirit I the movie frozen. It was so surreal and so lovely. It really felt like he petted my hair. And then he was dead in that moment. It was like a sign and felt really comforting and playful, just as he was. No other in the room had experienced anything. They just tink I’m nuts. Maybe I am. I have been hearing his voice afterwards saying “vad fan” it’s in Swedish from a movie they we jused to watch. I’m so glad that I experienced this. But I would like to hear others story’s and telling me that I’m right and not crazy.

My roommate and I went outside at night about maybe 2-3 weeks ago and we were laying on our trampoline when we heard strange sounds. We ran back inside.

Ever since then we’ve been hearing tapping on our windows assuming it was the wind. But my roommate has been hearing my voice and my family’s voices calling out to her from outside and asking to be let in. And today, I heard it too.

Today she called me in her room at about 4:50am. She said something has messed with her blinds and she felt cold. I checked the room, nothing was wrong. So we went back to sleep. Well I heard her come up to my door. “Hey, I’m scared can I come in there with you?” “Yeah sure let me put my shirt on” “Can you open the door and let me in?” “Why can’t you just use the key?” Then complete silence.

I texted her hey where did you go? Did you have to go to the bathroom or something? To which she was confused. She had been in her bed the whole time. We were texting about it when we heard whispers and footsteps in the hall. And something touched my door handle. My handle is metal, and it sounded like a fingernail being drug across it. I realized I invited it in and told it not to and prayed and panicked. The noises continued until they finally ended… in the house. My roommate heard tapping on her window again.

Does anyone have any explanation for this? None of my family was awake since it’s snowy and they don’t have to work.

I have an audio recording of the tapping but the community doesn’t allow videos so,,

When I was in 12th grade, I stayed in a hostel in Indore for three months for coaching. Surprisingly, the hostel was very close to the coaching center. I won't reveal the hostel and coaching name, The coaching center was quite famous, and the hours were long — from 9 AM to 9 PM every day. After classes, I’d return to the hostel, eat, and by the time I was done, it would already be 10 PM. Every night, I would walk down the long corridor, cross the hallway, and stand on the balcony to talk to my family on phone for like 5 minutes...

Actually the owner of the hostel and his family lived on the ground floor of the hostel..it's a house+hostel, very home like.

The balcony was faced at the back of the hostel, where everything was dark, had no proper light just a dim light. To the side, there was a small, old vehicle repair shop. And right in front of the balcony there were big GIRTHY(remember this) trees, it was already march so it was kinda hot but the backside near the balcony was always windy and cool. I use to walk in the balcony everyday alone after dinner but the place was always dead silent.

One evening, I was talking to my aunt on the phone, standing on the balcony as usual. Suddenly, I noticed something. The tree right in front of me started shaking violently. At first, I thought it was just the wind, and I didn’t think much of it since I was busy on the call. But then, suddenly i realised smthg was off, Only the tree directly in front of me was shaking, its leaves were vibrating as hell as if something was moving them. The rest of the other trees(beside that one tree) were completely still. It was impossible for any human to shake that massive tree with such force.

My body froze for a few seconds, I couldn’t move or breathe. The wind wasn’t that strong, and the trees around me were silent. But this one... it seemed like someone was inside of that tree and was controlling it.

I panicked and ran towards the room. I told my roommate what happened, but he just laughed it off, i too tried to act like nothing unusual happened. Still, something inside me knew what I had seen wasn’t natural.

The next evening, when we returned from coaching at around 9 PM, we saw something. In front of the hostel, there was a residential building. From my balcony, I could clearly see the 4th-floor apartment. It was burning, flames were coming out of its windows.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. That apartment was right in front of my eyes, and the night before, I had been standing in the same spot, staring out at the trees. It hit me bricks that the tree that had shaken violently in front of me wasn’t just cus of the wind, it may have been a warning. The fire had started in the very place I had been looking at.

I have a short boomerang of that trees and the fire that broke out.

After 2-3days I could sleep i had strange dreams saw some figures, I have seen a humanoid figure sitting on my hostel room's chair with both of its legs on the chair in a squatting position, the hostel room itself was so depressing,so dull and the paint was literally peeling off the wall, after studying for such long hours, a person usually feels happy to come back to their hostel room and sleep but it was opposite for me...as soon as I entered the room it started feeling suffocating, they also never cleaned that balcony,maybe once in a month or two...

Before this incident happened, I actually loved the vibe of that hostel, so peaceful, secluded area.. perfect for a student

Anyway after threee months, I couldn't take it anymore and I left that hostel.

I was seven, living in Colorado, early 2000s. One night—I can’t tell if I was awake or caught in some half-sleep haze—this thing appeared. I opened my eyes, and there it was: a black triangle, about two feet wide, hovering over my bed. It had this thin, twitchy tail flicking back and forth, like it was its own living thing. I couldn’t move—my whole body was pinned to the mattress, this cold, heavy weight smashing down on me. Then the sound started: a low hum, steady at first, like a frayed wire buzzing through the house, but it grew, rattling my chest, my teeth. I tried to scream—nothing came out. That’s when it turned uglier—it started grunting, deep and rough, like something choking or a motor grinding itself apart. It didn’t sound human, didn’t sound like anything normal—just wrong. My heart was hammering, and somehow I broke free—don’t know how. I stumbled out of bed, down the hall, out the front door—barefoot, in my boxers, tearing into the dark. I didn’t stop to think; I just ran. A few houses down, I looked back—it was there, clawing at the doorway, tail whipping, grunting louder, like it was mad I got away. It didn’t follow; it stayed stuck, like the house wouldn’t let it out. I wandered the neighborhood, half-naked, too scared to go back till the sky turned gray. That hum stuck with me, like it’d burned into my head. I told my grandma’s friend’s son about it—he lived nearby, a few years older than me. He went quiet, said he’d seen it too, wouldn’t go into it. We never talked about it again till now. Sleep paralysis? A nightmare? I’ve looked into that stuff, but this didn’t feel like just a dream—the pressure, the noises, the way it chased me were too real. Anyone else run into this—a black triangle with a tail, humming, grunting, pinning you down? It’s been years, and I still don’t have answers.

Back in March 2021, my 18 year old daughter was overwhelmed by an experience she had on a shuttle. She'd fallen asleep during her 4 hrs journey and when she awoke, 2 other passengers had gotten on. One of them (a man) sat in front of her and the other (a young beautiful woman with braided hair) sat beside her smiling.

The woman spoke to her asking 'Young lady, do you know who I am?'. My daughter looked at her closely and said 'No?'. The woman smiled and said 'I'm your Nanna that raised you when you were little".

My daughter looked more closely at her and realised it was a very young version of her great-grandmother. She had seen photos of her when she was younger but the woman looked even younger than the photographs, and she had a glow to her. She started to cry and the woman said 'Be strong. Wear a smile and carry on.'

The shuttle stopped minutes later and the man seated in front got off and walked in one direction, and the young woman got up to leave as well. She told my daughter 'I have to go now, take care of yourself.' She got off the shuttle and disappeared.

The words 'Wear a smile and carry on' are from my grandmother's favorite song 'Till The Lights Of London Shine Again' and it's something she always said to us. Or she'd sing a few lines from it when saying goodbye to us 'Don't you cry when I'm gone, Wear a smile and carry on, Till the lights of London shine again'.

So was this her 'younger reborn spirit' that my daughter encountered? Still unsure what to make of it. (My grandmother passed in 2013).

I work two full time jobs, sometimes I only have 4 hours between so on those occasions I fall asleep in my car for a quick recharge nap. I’ll no longer be doing that as the last time I did this it was snowing I woke up to go inside real quick. As I stepped out I saw only 5 bare humane foot prints. Slightly smaller than mine. But only 5 no more and they were freshly melted into the snow. This has me kinda freaked out and there were no others leading to me or leading away. I’m let’s with so many questions to this.
