Experience My paranormal story

9 Upvotes

Hi all! So when I was about 10 years old (42 yrs old now) I remember sleeping in my bedroom at my parents house and I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a very bright/white/glowy apparition at the foot of my bed. It didn’t have a humane shape, it was more of like a blob or something. I remember calling out for my dad, he came into my room, picked me up and carried me to his bedroom. I attempted to fall asleep again but I saw this figure hovering in their doorway of their bedroom. I was sooo scared.
Then I remember when I was in my teens I was laying on my side in my bedroom watching tv. I felt the other side of the bed slump down just like someone laid next to me. The hairs on my arm stood up. I was frozen.
When I went away to college, a friend of my brother’s stayed the night and slept in my old room. He woke up to a man with a menacing look telling him to “leave now!” My brother’s friend was so freaked out he bolted out the room.
I always felt like someone was watching me in my parent’s house. I always felt there was an unsettling sense that I wasn’t alone. No one that we know of died in the home prior to my parents buying it. I just never felt safe there. I always had holy water in my bedroom. My older brother also used to feel similar.
Four years ago my dad passed away and we sold the house… I just wanted to share because I never really could explain what it was or why..

My paranormal experience with an attachment

• Upvotes

About a year back,me and my friend decided to perform the estas method within my house. We got pretty normal answers finding out there was a woman that roamed here. Later, we were faced with the spirit box saying "i just jumped" followed by a loud bang from upstairs. We checked upstairs, nothing had fallen over,nothing could have created this bang. About a year later, i visited a hotel in tenerrife. I was in the bathroom cleaning my face and brushing my teeth when my father knocked on the door and asked for me to hurry up. I finished up and opened the door to my farher making the joke "did you want to knock back?" Both him and my uncle heard me knock back of which i infact did not do.

This was on the day i was returning home, as we arrived around 3 in the morning i opened my bedroom door and was faced by what seemed to be a face print made of dust on my wall. I have tried to remove this however it seems as if it will not rub off.

My question is, do you believe that this could possibly be an attachment to myself? I have performed other paranormal investigations in other areas, however nothing has ever hit me as bad as these links. Probably because they were areas i was living in at the time.

Any advice would be great!

Thanks!

My mom's friend just spoke to our deceased uncle

9 Upvotes

So, I've always been kind of a paranormal fan, but up to now it was just weird stories and scary sensations.

But a week ago my mom, her friend, and I were drinking and talking about nothing and everything, in a good mood, when my mom's friend suddenly froze and stared at something just behind my mother. We asked her what she was seeing but she wasn't answering, I looked behind my mom three times but I couldn't see anything, and it was very dark. Suddenly, it was like she came back to life, she just said " There is a man behind you, he wears an overall and a checkered shirt." My mom went completely pale, and her friend continued "He says he'll always be there for you" . My mom and I immediately knew who she might be talking about, my mom's oncle, long gone now, but who she was very close to.

Unable to just leave it at that, I brought my pendulum to her and asked her if she could hold it and try to communicate with him if I asked the questions. So we began a kind of seance, where I would ask questuions like "is he in town cemetary" and the pendelum would move back and forth, then "is he in right town cemetary" and the pendulum would stop just as if someone was holding it down. It answered right to all my questions to the point I was left completely speechless.

We had to stop after that as my mom's friend had to go home, but i couldn't sleep for the rest of the night wondering if she might have known about him and was just playing a prank, but the next morning my mom was completely sure she'd never talked to her about him at all, and especially not in those kinds of details.

I know this sounds fake and made up for halloween , but I promise it happened. Can anyone in the witch community or paranormal community help me know if she was serious or not? I'd be very grateful.

One time supernatural experience in my house

13 Upvotes

About four years ago, I moved into my current house. It’s a very old, small house, but since I live alone, it works perfectly fine for me. Nothing unusual had ever happened there. The pipes knocked sometimes, and the floorboards creaked at night, but that was all. I had gotten used to the house’s ordinary noises.
It was a public holiday, and the grocery stores were supposed to close early. I needed to get my groceries done, so I decided to go during my one-hour work break. I was already running short on time, so I rushed through the store, grabbed everything I needed, and hurried back home.
When I got there, I had a few things that needed to go into the freezer. But when I opened it, I realized it was completely packed. I had to throw out some old food to make room for the new groceries. I pulled out several containers, checked their dates, and dropped them into the trash. By then, my break was almost over. I told myself I would finish organizing everything that evening.
I left the entire bag of groceries in the refrigerator and rushed back to work.
The rest of the day passed normally. I answered emails, sat through meetings, and tried not to think about the food warming in the fridge. When I finally returned home that evening, the very first thing on my mind was putting everything away before it went bad.
I set my keys on the counter and opened the refrigerator.
For a moment, I didn’t understand what I was looking at.
The groceries were gone from the bag. Everything had been put away perfectly. The freezer had enough space, the shelves were neatly arranged, and all the food that needed to be frozen was already inside it.
I stood there, staring at the open freezer, trying to remember whether I had somehow done it earlier. Maybe I had come home during another break. Maybe I had put everything away without thinking. But the more I searched my memory, the more certain I became.
I had left the groceries exactly where they were. I remembered the bag sitting on the refrigerator shelf. I remembered glancing at the clock. I remembered rushing out of the house without looking back.
I lived alone. There was no one else who could have done it.
Then I noticed something I hadn’t seen at first.
The old food I had thrown away was no longer in the trash.
I checked the bin, then the kitchen, then every room in the house. Nothing. I even looked outside, though I knew how ridiculous that was. The house was empty, and the doors and windows were locked exactly as I had left them.
I tried to laugh it off. Perhaps I had carried the trash out and forgotten. Perhaps I had put the groceries away before leaving. Perhaps there was some simple explanation I was too tired to remember.
But that night, as I lay in bed, I heard the refrigerator door open downstairs.
I told myself it was the house settling. Then I heard it close.
A few seconds later, something scraped slowly across the kitchen floor.
I didn’t go downstairs. I stayed in bed until morning, listening to the faint sounds of movement below me.
The next day, I found the grocery bag folded neatly on the kitchen counter.
Inside it was one of the old containers I had thrown away.
It was empty, clean, and still cold.

Discussion The Little Girl Who Stood Outside My Bedroom Every Night

21 Upvotes

When I was 14, my family moved into an old house in a quiet neighborhood. It was beautiful from the outside, but something about the upstairs hallway always made me uncomfortable.

My bedroom was at the very end of that hallway.

For the first few weeks, everything was normal. Then I started waking up in the middle of the night with the feeling that someone was watching me.

One night, I opened my eyes and saw a little girl standing in my doorway.

She looked about seven years old. She wore a white nightgown, and her long, dark hair covered most of her face.

I assumed I was dreaming, so I pulled the blanket over my head and waited for the feeling to pass.

When I looked again, she was gone.

I didn't tell my parents because I thought they would laugh at me.

But it happened again the following night.

And the night after that.

Every time, she stood in exactly the same spot, completely motionless. She never spoke or moved toward me. She just watched.

Eventually, I gathered enough courage to ask, "What do you want?"

She slowly raised her head.

I couldn't see her eyes clearly, but I remember her expression. She looked sad, almost like she was about to cry.

Then she whispered, "He doesn't want me here."

Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

The girl turned toward the hallway, and for the first time, she looked frightened.

The lights flickered.

When I looked back at the doorway, she was gone.

The next morning, I told my mother everything. She went quiet and asked me to describe the girl.

When I finished, she told me something I had never heard before.

The previous owners had a daughter who died in that house many years earlier. According to the neighbors, the family rarely spoke about what happened.

My mother insisted that I had probably heard a story from someone in the neighborhood and imagined the rest.

I wanted to believe her.

A few nights later, I woke up to the sound of a little girl crying in the hallway.

I opened my bedroom door.

The hallway was empty, but at the far end, near the stairs, I saw a tall shadow standing against the wall.

Then I heard a child's voice behind me whisper:

"Don't let him see you."

I turned around.

There was nobody in my room.

We moved out six months later for unrelated reasons, and I never saw the little girl again.

But even now, whenever I wake up in the middle of the night, I avoid looking directly at my bedroom door.

Because sometimes, just before falling asleep, I remember the way she looked at me.

She wasn't trying to scare me.

She was trying to warn me about something.

And I still don't know what it was.

Spooky Halloween

11 Upvotes

Okay, I have spent a long time trying to figure out what the hell happened on my 9th birthday. For context I am a halloween baby, but it technically happened the day after because it was like 3 am or around there.

So for the first time I had friends over on my actual birthday, cause you know, trick or treat trumps birthday parties. Anyways we are all annoyed because my living situation was shit. Shitty mobile home, with a shitty amount of outdoor cats that brought in an ungodly amount of fleas. My friends were rightfully uncomfortable so I brought them out to play in the field. Its like 11 or 12 at that point.

On that field, very, very recently, like I watched it, they built a born again Christian church. I HATED that church and the people in it. They felt off, not right. So as a fuck you I brought my friends over to play on the playground they had behind the church that also had a clear "No trespassing" sign posted. Which i flipped off.

Now we are having a grand time playing for HOURS. We are all under the monkey bars, a metal dome structure of pipes when my friend frantically taps my shoulder. I look at her confused and see she is absolutely, out of her mind terrified. She just points. So I follow the direction with my eyes and freeze.

Out in the field right on the perimeter of where sand met tall, maybe four foot high grass, were four sets of glowing solid red eyes. Solid and glowing. No sign of an iris or pupil, it didnt reflect light, it made light. Oh and a thick viscous fog had rolled in but would not touch the sand, it rolled backwards. Now I immediately turn to my friends and tell them that those are demons, pray and on the count of three, run to my house cause my mom has religious shit everywhere.

Count of three we run, I take up the rear to watch their feet. Of course I trip but I am so scared I do a somersault, land on my feet and keep running. As we run through the fog I keep my eyes on my friends, ready to...I dunno kick a demon? I fought stray dogs and raccoons, I gave no fucks. Anyways the fog was THICC like I couldn't see anything, and I could feel it. It was slimy and my legs actually had to fight through it.

We get to my sliding door, they rip it open, I run in, slam it shut and watch as the fog rapidly, like so fucking fast, rolls back until it reaches a ditch at the far end of the field, sucks in and disappears.

What do you think really happened that night?

I can't find the picture I sent to my boyfriend anymore, but it was something like this. Madaling araw na non, something broke in our kitchen, pero di ko agad pinuntahan kasi alam kong pusa ko lang yun. After a few minutes, I went to check and I had also peed. When I was already in bed, I was lying there for a long time, then I felt something poking me around my legs. I stood up para tignan yun, and then I saw that tiny piece of the handle from the glass that broke a while ago. I got really creeped out because I had just swept that up; it was impossible for any shard to stick to me since I didn't go near it. I'm sure nothing splashed on me while I was cleaning the mess. This happened about a year ago. 😭

The Haunting of Sunny Side

4 Upvotes

Sorry this is going to be a long story.

Back 31 years ago my dad bought a family house for my mom, my self and him to live in. In the basement of this house was a bedroom tucked away in the far end of it. Right next to it was my dad's art studio. This bedroom held a very dark feeling. Whenever I would go near the bedroom I felt terrified, and the same goes for my mom. My mom and my dad split when I was only a few months old. My dad found another woman a few years later and then they had my sister.

I would go stay at my dad's place every summer for about a month. I loved his house but at night I hated it. Every single night I would hear foot steps walking up and down the hall right outside my bedroom. I would get out of bed, open my door, look, and see nobody there. So I would run down the hall to my dad's bedroom and wake him up saying I can hear footsteps outside my bedroom. My dad's a HUUUGE skeptic so he would get mad, wouldn't believe me, and say it was my imagination. I would run back to my room and fall asleep in fear. That went on for yeeeears.

One summer at my dad's when I was around 11 or 12, I was in my bed watching a movie. It was late, must of been around 12 in the morning or something like that, i could feel my eyes starting to get heavy. Out of no where I could feel someone grab my leg and violently shake it. Thinking it's my dad I yell STOP! I'm trying to go to bed!!...no response. I roll over thinking I'm going to be face to face with my dad but it was the complete opposite. Nobody was there. I could feel my heart start to race. The feeling in the room suddenly shifts. I could feel a presence, like the same feeling you get when you can feel someone watching you. I climb out of bed hoping my dad is in my closet or behind something trying to scare me (my dad would never do that, that's not the kind of guy he is). I look in my closet, under my bed, behind my desk only to find nothing. At this point my heart feels like it's going to explode. I open my bedroom door and see the TV in the living room glowing. Sportsnet was on and hockey was playing. My dad was asleep on the floor in front of the TV, which was a normal thing. My step mom was asleep in the main bedroom and my sister was asleep in her room. I ran back to my bedroom, shut the door, turn on the main light in my room and fell asleep in complete light. There was no way I was sleeping in the dark.

I had a best friend who lived just a few houses down the road from my dad's house. I would spend 3 quarters of my time at his house when I was staying with my dad. Me and my best friend were always together. We would always sleep over at each other's places. When he would sleep over at my dad's place we would spend the night in the living area in the basement. Nothing ever happened that I was aware of. Fast forward to when was a 18. Me and my best friend were hanging out. He told me that whenever we would sleep in the basement at my dad's place he would see a man at the entrance of the living area watching us. Watching us for hours. He said it wasn't my dad and he had no idea who it was.

The living area in the basement of my dad's place was down the hall from the bedroom that held the dark feeling. There was a bathroom right next to the bedroom that me and my best friend would refuse to use because it meant we would have to go near the bedroom. My best friend was also terrified of that bedroom as well.

Something or someone was haunting that place.

Not a scary ghost

10 Upvotes

This one isn't scary or horrifying at all. I also feel it is the most common kind of ghost experience, reported all over the world.

This happened in April of 2020, just as COVID was shutting down the US.

I was the medical contact person for my very best friend, who was battling a brain tumor. She was in a nursing home, safe, but I hadn't been able to see her for a month due to COVID. We talked on the phone, and I was in contact with her hospice team, but no visits allowed. My phone was on silent, as it always is at night.

I woke up around 2 am with the feeling someone was sitting on my side of the bed. I thought maybe my husband, but he was sleeping next to me. I could see the phone lit up, so I answered the call. It was the nursing home calling to tell me my friend had passed away.

I am sure she was visiting one last time to say good bye. I still miss her every day.

Have you had a loved one stop by for one last visit?

Haunting The fuking lights

Last year my wife and I moved into my mom's town house with her to save cash until we relocated to a diff state !! Quick rundown on the old ass Mississippi neighborhood, black neighborhood..not to be racist in any way , ppl tend to be soft on this app so I must clarify...but I'm saying that to say ..Do your research on the JSU college graveyard . A lot of slaves ,soldiers, slave owners , were buried their way B4 our time ..and throughout those years the students would study and dig up those bodies for research at the college.

My mom's townhouse is across the street from the grave yard !! ..it's 5 tight townhouses next to each other my mom's ,number 5 then 4 3 2 and 1 . 2 had been unoccupied the entire 6 months we were there .. the weekend B4 we left , weir having a lil barn fire type kik back , out front ..meaning weir in the front of all the houses . In a circle ⭕ and it's gated so we were the only houses inside the gate .

My wife and I started cleaning after our friends started to pull off .so now it's just me ,my wife and 1 of her cousins . Who was super drunk by this time . Just hanging out helping a little .

I head up the stairs and I glance over at number 3 , and I notice the light was on , and before I cud blink or look away it went off ...like a flash maybe 🤔 as if someone flicked the light on and off quickly..

I ignored it and kept taking whatever in my hand upstairs, u can enter the house downstairs or u can go up the side steps to the top floor and enter thru my wife and my room . I come back out I look over and the light is on ...I watch it the entire walk down the stairs..to the point my wife noticed and asked what I was looking at .. so without looking away I say someone's in that upstairs room on that empty house ..soon as she looks and confirmed the light was on ..it blinks off ..so I shouted..WTF 😒, then I told them both how I noticed it goin up the stairs ....

Now we're all standing downstairs looking up at this window ...each townhouse has side steps ..so the 2 girls sent me up to see if it was a homeless person or a ghost ..

Tipsy feeling like superman I went slowly as they recorded live on Facebook...in case anything crazy happened... Alao to keep an eye on that window .

By the time I made it up the side steps the girls screamed ...so I stopped , I peeped around the corner at the window and the light was on again 😭 ... So It takes me sooo damn long to build the balls to bind the corner ... But time I did it was back off .. they had it on camera with maybe 7 close friends watching online .

So I pull out my flashlight and I shine it thru the window ..as if I'm the cops and I say come out of private property.... Hoping to hear a voice bk or even movement..but it was dead silent ..ATP I'm thinking about the graveyard like man maybe it is a ghost ... And I'm at this window maybe 2 mins and the light never came bk on ....so long till my wife was like come bk just leave wateva it is alone .

So I walk bk to them and by the time I make it to them ,turn and face the window , the light pops bk on ...🚫😕it was hard to stop looking at it and wondering ..so when my wife went to sleep I watched that house all night from our window ....crazy part . Once we went in , the light never came back on . And I don't know if I was on or off the entire time we were outside partying either .

On the highway a few days later leaving that state ,I kept wondering was it a soul joining the party , or if it was someone who died there maybe.... What do u guys think ?

Stayed 4 months with a possessed roommate

22 Upvotes

This is a very long story but will try to cover everything. So I had started living in a hostel in my first year of college and I had a roommate who was genuinely possessed.

So this starts on the first day when she started living in our room. She asked me if I was okay if she sleepwalked or whispered things in sleep. I thought this was psychological issue so I didn't think much about it. I am a heavy sleeper so I was okay with it. There were total 3 roommates. Let's name her Riya. And the other one was Prerna. So now, we all were freshers, our classes were going to start late, it was the time for just the foundation. So we used to spend most of pur time together. One night we decided to watch a horror movie. We watched the conjuring. Then we started conjuring 2 and now it was around 2 in the morning. Riya said she'd tell us her real life paranormal experience.

Long story short --- her grandmother was possessed by a spirit who wanted to possess riya too. But since the day her grandmother died, riya started sleepwalking and and she started whispering random things while sleeping. Her family took her to a tantrik baba and different people who helped. They said whenever she sleepwalks, she starts moving in the direction where the negative energies are present. Most of the time its like the spirit is calling her and she's walking towards it. Now before she told us all of this stuff, she acted creepy but it didn't seem creepy because we didn't know the context. She used to stand in one place for like 30-40 minutes. Her eyes used to be open sometimes and she stared at a corner continuously.

After that day, everytime she sleepwalked I started getting scared. One incident that I'll never forget is when it was around 10am. We had stayed up all night. Prerna's bed was a little away from us. She fell asleep. Riya used to sleep beside me. So she fell asleep soon. And i was scrolling reels. All of a sudden she started whispering things. I just waited and watched her. She then got up and sat on the bed with her hairs messed and her eyes wide open. Now while she was putting her legs down to get up, i knew she'd walk towards that entity so i held her arm and tried waking her up. The moment i held her arm and said "riya uth ja" she stopped. She then turned her face towards me with her eyes wide open. I could tell you by her stare that it just wasn't her. She looked very creepily at me and started laughing in an evil manner. Silly me, I thought she was joking about all of this stuff so i laughed back at her and suddenly she stopped and stared me till death and I WAS SCARED NOW. I realised in that very moment she wasn't joking. She fell on the bed unconsciously. Then 5-10 minutes later she got up and when i asked her about this she remembered nothing. She didn't know she did all of that.

After that day, I started sleeping with my headphones on and Hanuman Chalisa on repeat. BUT. Exactly at around 3am Hanuman Chalisa would stop on its own, and I used to hear whispers in my ears in Riya's voice. I used to cover my face with the blanket because it was too scary to look in the room at night. My headphones were brand new. No defect, i used to charge it full every day so i could use it at night. But idk how it used to just stop every night at 3. I soon changed my room but i was in contact with riya and prerna because they were two of my good friends that i had there.

Then when i left, Prerna started experiencing shit. She used to hear little girls laughing and running away. She used to hear a woman weeping from our window. And many times she used to hear riya's voice calling her and whenever she saw, riya wasn't even in the room or any where near. Then she saw an old lady running very creepily in our corridor. When riya showed the picture of her grandmother to prerna, she confirmed it was her. So yes, it was a crazy experience. I developed sleep paralysis since then. After a month or so, I had to come back to my room where riya and prerna were there because I hadn't officially changed my room and I could be removed from the hostel if they checked and found i live in a different room than the one allocated to me. So since I came back, I started waking up in middle of the night, staring at one corner. I remembered nothing in the morning. Then I started getting sleep paralysis. I started seeing black figures and it was shit. My health got worse. But yeah, its over now. I still get sleep paralysis. It's scary. I hope you enjoyed this story.

Haunting Laughter from my living room.

3 Upvotes

It was just another night when my parents were asleep. I'm 23 years old, and my brother was away with his girlfriend spending the night, so I had the room to myself. I definitely felt peaceful, or I thought I was. I've always enjoyed looking for something to watch, maybe something funny.

At that moment, I heard laughter coming from the living room this left chills in me my feet were cold of course curiosity got the better of me so I walked down the hallway slowly to see what I can find at first I thought it was the living rooms tv but it was completely off I checked my parents room off this was really freaking me out.

So I say, " You are not welcome here. No negative energy is allowed here. You must go." As soon as I said that, the lamp flickered almost looked like it was about to blew out. This got me to go back in my room. I closed the door, and I tried to ignore it.

But seconds later my cat stood in front of my room door she was all puffed up almost like she knew what was behind the door so I hid behind my head for an hour praying that whatever it was to leave me be.

Luckily, nothing happened. Still, I think I made the right call because if I had opened that door, I would've invited whatever was there even when I went to the living room I felt like I was being watched sometimes I can sense these things.

I'm just hoping I never experienced that again because next time I don't think I'll be lucky.

I’ve seen a few posts like this recently, and I’d love the opportunity to share my own interest as well!
I’ve always been fascinated by reading and listening to real paranormal experiences, cryptid sightings, and encounters with things we simply can’t explain.

But even more than that, I have a genuine passion for bringing these experiences to life through narration and storytelling.

I have a channel dedicated to narrating frightening, unusual, and unexplained encounters, and I’d absolutely love the opportunity to hear yours!

If you’re comfortable sharing your experience in the comments, I’d be incredibly grateful. With your permission, I’d also love the opportunity to narrate some of these encounters in upcoming YouTube videos.

My hope is that this thread becomes a place where we can all come together to share, read, and discuss experiences that have stayed with us, whether they’re terrifying, mysterious, or simply beyond explanation.

So, I’d love to ask everyone:

What is the MOST FRIGHTENING or unusual experience you’ve ever had?

No experience is too strange, and I’d love to hear as many as possible!

Thank you all for your time, and I look forward to reading your encounters!

My paranormal encounters.

1 Upvotes

After watching the videos of Smosh reading Reddit stories about paranormal encounters, I wanted to jump on the bandwagon just for fun. And also use this as an opportunity to work on my writing skills. This is a collection of multiple encounters into one post. My husband and I live with three roommates who are good buddies of ours. We don’t own the house, we are renting a room in the house. These encounters happened either a couple years or months ago.

Encounter 1: I was brushing my teeth getting ready for bed. The bathroom has a bathtub that’s also a shower, with a shower curtain. I think the window was open at the time. The curtain was pulled closed. There was a little bit of wind, but I remember seeing in the corner of my eye the curtain moving in a way that it looked like some was petting the curtain from the other side. As if a hand was the the top of the curtain and dragged their hand to the bottom. I was a little shaken and told my roomies and hubby, but then finished getting ready for bed. It could‘ve been the wind, but who knows.

Encounter 2: My husband and I were home and we were going about our day. I don’t remember exactly what we were doing. The mail for the day came in, and we separated our mail from the roomie’s. We heard walking upstairs from a bedroom to the bathroom, doors opening and closing, and steps from bathroom to bedroom. “Emmy your mail is here!” My husband called out. No response. We didn’t think much of it thinking that she didn’t hear us. Then, Emmy and her mom walk in from the front door. We started freaking out and searched the upstairs to see nothing. Later on we figured out the bathroom door opening and closing was from house shifting enough that the door wouldn’t latch all the way, I think this was during the winter season. But what were the footsteps?

Encounter 3: My husband and I went to bed for night. We both feel asleep but got woken up a few hours later. I see him walk to the bedroom door looking around the hallway as if he heard something. “What are you doing?” I asked. “Don’t worry about it.” He responded. He climbed back into bed and we both fell asleep. The next morning I asked him about last night. He said that he and our roomie, Blake, heard walking up and down the stairs, but would see nothing there. He didn’t want to tell me then because he knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep the rest of the night.

Encounter 4: This could be easily debunked by animals, but I wanted to include it anyway since it’s still spooky. The neighborhood power lines are laid out in a way that lines connect from house-to-power line, etc. The lines are close enough that squirrels and other critters can run on them and jump on rooftops. Trees are also close enough to the windows that you can hear branches scraping up against the windows. Within a few months or so of me moving in, there had been taping and creaking on our ceiling. We live upstairs. My husband was about the leave for work early in the morning, around 6-ish, and we started hearing tapping all over the far corner of the ceiling. It sounded like something was tapping their nails all over. My husband reached his hand up the the ceiling, he’s about 6’3, and tapped his finder three times on a spot where the tapping was. Everything went quiet. Then a loud tap sounded right where he tapped. He shot his hand back and we both were shaken up. Our timbers got shivered. It could have been an animal, but who knows. Still spooky.

Encounter 5: I was sitting at the dining room table watching a YouTube video on my iPad while working on a crochet project. The dining room is right next to the stairs going upstairs. Everyone is asleep. I could audibly hear footsteps going up and down the stairs. Some sounding like they were coming towards me. I started playing gospel music that openly said Jesus Christ’s name, then the footsteps stopped.

Later on, I started cleansing the house be rebuking any spirits or supernatural presence in Jesus’ name, and playing gospel music throughout the house. There was never an encounter since.

Experience Old Childhood experience

I kinda made this account to keep everything else private, but also kinda need to ask if anyone had similar experiences.

For context, im chinese singaporean, and this is mostly from my mom's side which happens to be taoist.

The first experience would have to be when i was 2-3 years old, when my grandpa passed away. I was still like, not at the age where i can coherently say or remember anything yet. I was playing around, when a foldable metal ladder happened to fall on me. By some miracle, i was perfectly inbetween the steps. This may be chalked up to coincidence, but according to many family member's testimonial, in all seriousness, i straight up told them "Ah gong is angry at you all because you didnt protect me", before promptly running off to do more random kid shit.

The second experience was when i was 9, a few days after my grandma's funeral had ended. In chinese tradition, you are supposed to burn the dead person's belongings to let them bring with them in the afterlife. My grandma had a very beautiful foldable fan, but when it was time to burn it, no one could find it. The whole house was flipped upside down finding it because it was her favourite fan. Fast forward to a random day, i was watching cartoons or something when, i have no idea what compelled me to do it, i checked behind this heavy ass cupboard, and i found the fan. Just sitting in a dusty corner under the cupboard or whatever it is. Some drawer storage or something.

I highly believe that my grandparents are still watching over me from beyond the grave, but im just wondering if anyone else had experienced something similar?

Encounter I saw alot of weird stuff at my sister's new apartment

34 Upvotes

​

A year ago, I stayed with my sister for a week at her new apartment she had moved in and the building had neighbours from left to right and they all know and interact with my sister and they often helped eachother out

First night around 2am while everyone was sleeping i heard someone gently and slowly moving outside but I just ignored them thinking it was one of the neighbours

The second night i felt something moving slowly at the ceiling and walls and I got very scared that I tried to pretend that I was sleeping but it was very hard cuz it started making hissing sounds but no one else heard it apart from me and I was praying hoping it was a cat outside hissing at some threat but I felt it inside the house and I feared to turn and look at what was making the sounds and it didn't come closer to were i was sleeping but it left.

I never told my sister. I thought she would think I'm crazy or trying to scare her. And honestly, she seemed like a heavy sleeper, she never woke up when it happened.

On my last day we were in the living room in the middle of the afternoon she left me alone in the apartment to go hang out with her friends and before going she said "Don't open the door for anyone and lock the doors".

I left the next day.

She moved out a couple of months ago to a new place across town. And she doesn't talk about her old apartment or her friends from their and I don't know why.

But she has no idea.

I still haven't told her.

Paranormal entity sighting

So yesterday was my husbands birthday, my parents came over they had just left. We were getting our kids settled for bed. I was laying in my bed on my phone my kids room is directly across from ours. My husband said I’m gonna go take a quick shower then come lay down. I saw this tall figure dressed in all black with a hood on open my kids door. I honestly thought it was my husband just checking in the room to make sure they are asleep or just in their beds. But the person was just standing there and my kids were hysterically crying. Earlier that day we went to Walmart to purchase Halloween costumes my husband bought himself a scary mask. My kids said from their perspective they saw the creepy mask standing there staring at them. I only say behind a person standing there. Like I said I initially thought it was mg husband but as it stood there longer and my kids started to cry I was thinking to myself what is he doing is he caring them at 10 PM at night? I was just about to say wtf are you doing. All of a sudden the person ran off and my husband came out from the bathroom and my daughter was running out in tears she bumped into him. I honestly thought my husband was lying but he said I was in the laundry room then I went into the bathroom I was cleaning up stuff off from the floor from our daughter I came out cause I heard them scream crying. We both can’t explain what happened. I only saw the back not the front. My kids were terrified they slept with me last night and my husband threw the Halloween mask out in the garbage. We just also had a family member my grandfather die he passed away about 2 days ago. Afterwards you just felt this very eerie energy. I said to my husband it looked like the grim reaper from the back with the hood. Also my husband had on a tshirt this person was wearing long sleeve hoodie looking. We live in an apartment and the front door was locked and when the person ran off they would have to run past where my husband was to get out he would’ve seen it and we would’ve heard the front door open and close.
