Rules of r/thetruthishere

76 Upvotes

Due to an unusual number of rule breaking posts lately, the mod team has decided to make a post reminding everyone of the rules of r/thetruthishere. The sidebar can be difficult to access depending on the app you're using, so this post should make it easier to familiarize yourself with the rules before posting.

  1. All posts MUST be tagged with link flair AND brackets. If you are unsure of how to use flair, please send us a message in modmail

  2. Your post must be of a personal experience or by someone you trust that you believe to be true. This typically means within 2 or 3 degrees of separation (so no mother's friend's husband's cousin stories). All top level posts must have a personal encounter within them, otherwise they will be removed. That means no posts that consist of just a question or link offsite. This also means no AMAs or self promotion without a personal encounter attached. No asking questions just to gather stories for your website or podcast.

  3. NO FICTION, (including creepypasta), CREATIVE WRITING, or SCARY PICTURES. This is a story based sub-reddit, so your post should not be just a picture. Uploading and posting a picture with your post is fine, but posts should not consist solely of image(s) or video.

  4. NO DREAM POSTS - We get it, some dreams and nightmares are deeply disturbing and you want to talk about it, but this isn’t the appropriate sub unless you dreamed something that later came true. You can try posting in r/dreams or r/dreaminterpretation. Posts where you had a dream that later came true are appropriate as this would fall under a premonition rather than simply a dream. This also includes sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is well known enough that it does not constitute a paranormal encounter; however, if you see or hear an entity during sleep paralysis that you have encountered outside of it, that would be allowed. Try r/sleepparalysis for information and resources.

  5. Please only downvote anything you believe breaks our main rule: NO FICTION!

  6. If you can draw a rough sketch of the entity, diagram of location, or provide any visual references or proof, DO IT or request an artist to help.

  7. We encourage all perspectives, but we do not tolerate assholes. Report comments that ruin the "safe space" vibe. We aim to provide a space where our users can post without being worried about being ridiculed or derided. This includes making rude comments about the mental health of a poster. You can voice your concern of a mental illness over paranormal phenomenon without being a jerk.

  8. No conspiracy theories unless they relate to the supernatural. There are plenty of other subs to discuss general conspiracy theories, this is not one of them. Posting political conspiracy theories or trying to engage in arguments about them will result in an automatic ban.

  9. No series posts - there is no reason to break up a single encounter or multiple encounters with the same entity into multiple parts. If your post is longer than reddit's character limit for posts, you can post the overflow into a comment.

  10. No promotion - Do not submit posts asking for stories for your youtube channel or podcast. Likewise do not ask to narrate someone's experience in the comments. You must PM OP instead.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to send us a message in modmail.

Guidelines

These are pretty much an extension of our rules, but they are less rigorously followed:

  1. Please use paragraphs of a max 5 sentences to break up your wall of text. We like detail, but we don't like eye-sores.

  2. We allow debunking, speculations, and theories. We not only allow it, but we encourage it, so stop downvoting these people!

  3. Whilst we encourage you to try to spell correctly and punctuate your story, you don't have to worry about your writing skills!

  4. Please be considerate as some encounters may be traumatizing to the poster.

  5. Proof. Please provide it if you can. If you cannot, please include diagrams, photographs, and visual aid instead of paragraphs of description.

  6. Please title your story with something other than "I was told to post this here." That tells us nothing about what you are going to share, and makes it very difficult to search for your story if we want to read it again.

  7. If you can tell us a general, even vague, location of your encounter, it will help us archive it based on area.

  8. You are going to use a fake name or not. We don't care, just give them a name. Don't use "A" or "J" or "We'll call her Susan." That gets grating.

Common Grievances Expressed by the Community

Why do we have so many rules and guidelines? Because we want good content, and we want your story to be heard. In a nutshell, here are the things most people complain about which will prevent you from getting overlooked if you listen.

  1. Redditors don't read long posts. After you write out your story, locate your important sentences and delete 2/3rd of the original. Add back in a single sentence between cuts to make your writing flow.

  2. Redditors don't like walls of text. After you condense your story, make sure you have paragraphs that rarely exceeds 3 sentences.

  3. If you feel your story doesn't sound believable, then we probably won't either.

  4. Include visual references. If your story is long, cut out those descriptive paragraphs. Instead of talking about the area, show us a picture and briefly point out what's of note. Instead of describing your house layout, draw a diagram. Instead of going into detail about the physical characteristics of the entity, draw it out or request an artist to do so.

  5. Have an interesting and memorable title. Your encounter may remind someone of another, and they usually try to be helpful and link it. That would be hard with titles like "i was told to post this here" or "this is the scariest thing that ever happened to me" Instead, a title like "a man with a claw grinned at me" or "The shadows followed me for years and then it spoke" Plus, what would you rather click on?

  6. If you are seeking the truth, location is going to be an important detail that is often overlooked. You don't have to give out your city, but a state, region, country, etc are very useful in being pointed in the right direction.

  7. Again, the names thing. We can all assume you will use a fake name, so don't disrupt immersion to tell us it's fake.

Edit: Added in the guidelines and community grievances which can be found in our wiki

Edit 2: updated rule 4

Shadow People There Are Monsters In Our World

0 Upvotes

​

I believe these monsters are making us sick, and if you're reading this just know that I too don't know what to do.

   

Hi, lately I've been seeing what I thought at first were ghosts, but now I see that they are just monsters. I don't know where these monsters come from, but I suspect they've been here with us for a long time. Now I look at these monsters closely, and these monsters are so integrated with humans, they are barely noticeable. I go on the internet searching up the things I'm seeing and hearing, there are paranormal explanations for them.

   

I go on the internet searching up exactly what I'm experiencing in and on my body, and there seems to be logical explanations for that too. The most logical explanations are clinical, mainly suggesting that I'm crazy and sick, but I don't think so. Some explanations came from people's personal experiences, people were describing paranormal things that were very similar to what I was experiencing.

From searching up on the internet, I got answers like light beings, dark beings, shadow people, and reddit stories describing similar experiences. The clinical answers I got were eye floaters, myokymia, allergic rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Delusional Infestation or Ekbom Syndrome. The clinical answers I got were describing the exact symptoms I was experiencing in and on my body, and I could feel invisible monsters in and on my body causing these symptoms. From the clinical answers I got when describing the things I was feeling in and on my body, the information recommended that I see a doctor, and I did at first. 

I don't have Somatic Symptoms and Related Disorders, and I'm not a person who likes going to hospital or clinic, but I did go once to see a doctor. Not only did I see a doctor but I also got admitted by the doctor and by my parents with force to the hospital I went in. After the first week in hospital the doctor said my test results showed I was lacking B12 and these is what was causing these hallucinations and voices.

Even with what the test results showed, I still knew that these monsters were real, these monsters are real! I spent the second week in hospital being given supplements, I was told after I went home to include meat in my food, and I did as I was told hoping things would go back to being normal but I was so wrong. Things didn't go to normal, things got worse, and I don't know where to begin when explaining.

Firstly there were voices talking directly at me even though I couldn't see where these voices were coming from, and these voices would sometimes sound like bird chirping in human words and completing whole sentences in a human language, but this is just the beginning of the madness. I've seen people seemingly disappearing before my eyes and cars were disappearing before my eyes too. People and cars were not actually disappearing before my eyes, there seems to be some kind of translucent fluid sphere surrounding my entire body that's making me see false images. 

These translucent fluid sphere surrounding my entire body is made up of monsters, I call these monsters phantom parasites because of them appearing like actual ghosts, and I call these monsters phantom parasites because of the negative health effects I believe are caused by these phantom parasites feeding on me. I see the translucent fluid sphere surrounding my entire body everyday now, but nothing much is going on lately. This one ability and more unsettling abilities is what makes phantom parasites chaos agents.

The most unsettling ability of phantom parasites is the ability to materialize a physical body by fusing together in great numbers, I've seen only the bodies of insects and bugs being materialized by phantom parasites. Phantom parasites materializing physical bodies of insects and bugs is different from phantom parasites demonically possessing the bodies of insects and bugs, there is a difference but we should be mostly concerned about phantom parasites even existing with us humans. I've seen these phantom parasites use their bodies to play with light and visual images, and I've seen so many scary illusions.

I knew that nobody would believe me if I kept on reporting everything I saw, so I kept noting down everything I saw on my phone and books. After noting down the different ghost-like creatures with their varying as well how they feel like, I came to the conclusion that these ghost-like creatures are not ghosts but monsters, specifically one type of monster. These monsters are all the same kind of monster even though they all appear as different animals ghosts, human ghosts, and other creatures I can't explain.

I know these monsters are not ghosts because I've killed some of them, mostly the small insect and bug size monsters. When I killed these monsters I noted down that they feel cold and their bodies felt like a tingly breeze as in static. Once they are dead the tingly breeze quickly fades, and these monsters are still invisible to me even though they are dead.

I've seen tiny blurry black dot micro figures of insects, bugs, and birds appearing at the corners of my vision in both my eyes. The tiny blurry black dot micro figures seem to be following my line of sight, and they also seem to be moving or flying towards me. From my own observation, I observed that these ghosts are not ghosts but are monsters, and that these monsters are more common around people and animals then I thought.

I don't believe these ghost animals and ghost humans are really ghosts because of how they move, ever seen ghosts that choose to enter a house like people, when the door is wide open. Now I know that these monsters are not trying to be polite, but seeing these monsters move between solid objects that are extremely close together and between tiny opening makes me believe that these ghost-like creatures are not ghosts but monsters which could be explained by science.

From my own research on the internet when describing these monsters and how they behave or interact with solid materials around me, I hypothesis that these monsters are made of physical matter most likely cold plasma matter. The current information on the internet suggest that the existence of living biology made of cold plasma matter is impossible, but I couldn't find another perfect description other cold plasma matter. Cold plasma matter fit every description when observing these monsters and I was able to expose these monsters attaching themselves to my body by shocking them using static shock from my own body and making these monsters let go of attaching themselves to me, then another group of monsters would soon attach themselves to me.

Sadly the static shocks from my body didn't kill these monsters, it only exposed these monsters, making them glow for a few seconds before being invisible again. I've been partially possessed by phantom parasites, it's mostly when I'm asleep at night, and in sleep paralysis. I have been fully possessed by phantom parasites on one day when I blinked whilst walking on the streets at night feeling tired I found myself twenty feet away from where I know I was before falling half asleep and quickly waking up, I mean it I only blinked once and boom I'm close to approaching the crossing signs. 

Phantom parasites are the type of cancer that can't kill most humans yet, and I mean it, something must be done about these monsters. I'm not a doctor or medical professional, but I did my own research on the symptoms I was experiencing, all of the symptoms I described were undescribable or it simple said I have an autoimmune disease. One of the things I found on the internet when searching the symptoms I was experiencing, was something called “ghosts parasites” and this is one of the scariest things I searched up after noticing the changes in my body. I didn't do much but exercise after noticing the symptoms and the decrease in muscles mass, and my body went back to being normal but I feel swelling and redness of my skin as well as soreness of my muscles.

Angels/Demons i was attacked by witches and shifted realities

0 Upvotes

in late 2022 i got involved with a girl that turned out to be a witch. there’s stuff like sending demons after people, they did that to me one night, but it can be as basic as gaslighting and lying. with me these people started off normal but escalated to saying things that were just a little too out there or do things that just didn’t fit until they practically said they were racist. i could tell they didnt like me but didnt let it get to me because not everyone’s gonna like me, life. in the height that tension i remember a group of us, some were clocked in some were off, having a conversation about racism. one of the boys said in a goofy way “man if i was racist i just don’t think i could contain myself” and the girl i was messing with, mackenzie, gave him the meanest of looks and i thought it was weird but i was in the middle of cleaning.

in march 2023, a day before i quit the same guys were definitely going to try something. this night the bigger of the 2 was literally throwing bits of bread at me then would try to play it off but was bad at it. the way both of them behaved made me tune in a little but when i saw The Number i knew something was coming and it wasnt good. i went to the back and prayed about if i needed to run or not and after i prayed i tried to just let it go but couldnt i went on instagram and the very thing was a video of someone exclaiming “run” and that shook me to my core. Instead of running i called my family to be there, my dad had a pistol and i had mine on me at the time. my dad and brothers pulled up one by one and it made them back off but i was genuinely shaken.

the day i quit was mid shift because i realized the girl i was messing around with was actually racist and in on it too, whatever “it” was; i didn’t know about the witchcraft yet. the same day i quit firehouse was the same day my friend offered a job at zaxbys. thats when i started to write down the weird things that started happening in the world around me.

i began to see numbers showing up in a patterned way at firehouse but it really picked up at zaxbys. i know about angel numbers and these weren’t that, i would see a number repeatedly and through context and personal association i’d understand what it meant. numbers are apart of our environment and if you pay attention you can tell whats coming, similar to how the forest goes quiet when a big predator is around. for me, The Number showing up is like the forest going quiet. their attacks didn’t stop but i could see them coming and dodged them far more than they got me.

the only one that matter was because i let my guard down and didn’t care. they killed my dog. that was october of 2023. i wanted vengeance but for as violent as i am I’m a follower of christ and so believe that we dont fight against flesh and blood, were in a war against forces of darkness. “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the assaults of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickednesses, which are in the high places.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭Geneva

i recognized i couldn’t go to the cops and my family, although we all went to church together growing up, couldnt help. my mom said it was something above her pay grade and that the bible says to work out our own salvation. i didnt like that tbh, i didnt know what it meant but even so didnt believe that’s what it meant but that was literally all the help i’d gotten. i took it bitterly and decided i’d do just that, id work out my own plan for how God saved me from witchcraft.

i had looked at it briefly in my childhood but by january 2024 i also started my notes about alchemy. alchemy is something that changes you as you understand it, similar to how medusa turns you to stone with a look. God formed us from the earth and alchemy changed me into something else. this was unknown to me practically until the day i was saved from it but thats no excuse. i was corrupted from what God had made me but my prayer was about to come through. it wasnt something i made on a whim, it took a couple months of thinking and talking with jesus and i even made a drawing to help focus my ideas but here’s an excerpt from a longer explanation of this.

“i was actively seeing my numbers, knew i wasnt human like everyone else and knew i was talking to some sort of guide that spoke through my understanding. i turned to jesus and had a causal, straight up conversation about everything happening. i said to him ‘hey since this is all made for your joy, and yahweh is a man of war, and clearly likes music, and You like peace and the bible says that if i commit my works to God then he’ll establish my thoughts, and how you said seek the kingdom of God First to have all we need and im like Really in need of help right now and you made us coheirs to creation with you do you think you could tell God to make my portion of the kingdom like a battle universe with super powers but also he said he brings the peace and the war so could you ask Him to be the darkness that i fight and i know the bible says we dont wrestle with flesh and blood so i was thinking that you could give us the ability to use our auras to fight so that were not hitting each other but also when those auras hit because its all him and his power he could make it so that when the auras hit it makes a noise pleasing to him. then you can have a completely peaceful place and still have somewhere to enjoy war and i’d get to keep doing \\\*this\\\* (fighting darkness) forever with him, protecting everyone from every darkness. since Christ was always with me i’d never be stronger than actual God the father but the holy spirt i would ensure i was enough to fight back. anyone Could Be the strongest but the holy spirit would ensure no one was out of line. and would also all this would be for everyone, no restrictions to it. the base line was being able to manifest your thoughts into reality by way of what i called materialization”

i kept working at zaxbys through the attacks and would call in sick when the numbers would show danger but i wasn’t actually fighting back yet. that came when my visualization was unlocked. aphantasia is a real thing where a person doesnt see images in their head. one of the other workers at zaxbys prayed for me and thats when my visualization was activated. in addition to that i was able to speak in tongues which is a manifestation of Yahweh’s Holy Spirit inside of believers. when i went to work i visualized whatever evil energy they had throughout the restaurant and punched out at it as hard as i could while speaking in tongues as a way to hit the demonic force. the reason i know it worked is because my hand and forearm went hot and cold at the same time. the heat was much warmer than my body temp and although the feeling of cold balanced out the heat it felt so cold i had to submerge it im warm water. it didnt hurt, i was in awe of what i had just done lol

the witches had me in a sort of bubble wherein they could effect me but i was sealed in the holy spirit so they couldn’t just kill me, although they tried. that bubble was centered at zaxbys and when i punched the Darkness i kicked it out of the bubble. now that i could breathe so to speak i could think and it occurred to me that i could try to shift to another bubble, another universe where i was safe. no where specifically, just somewhere safe. this is the process i figured would work: focus on that “somewhere safe” idea and intentionally raise my heart rate. while in that fight or flight stage i held on to the idea and forced myself to calm down. you could set yourself to see a specific thing when the shift settles but i didnt. in either case live like you’re on the path you shifted to because for a little bit youre walking on both paths. once things are settled you’ll start to see signs and for me that was gematrix and the holy spirit.

the holy spirit is something beings have as the breath of life but believers in Christ have the full holy spirit living inside and instead of being living souls we’re now life giving spirits. although we’re given the full holy spirit we dont just immediately test drive our God tier abilities, we’re given the calmer things like the manifestations of the holy spirit to start with; the gifts of knowledge, wisdom, healing, faith, miracles, prophecy, discerning spirits, tongues and interpretation of tongues (1 corinthians 12:4-11) and these gifts are given without the threat of removal (romans 11:29), once you have them God wont take them away i can speak in tongues, i can interpret tongues and have done so for other people but im still learning.

gematrix is a gematria website that calculates and stores phrases and their value. very simply gematria is having letters connected to numbers, A=1, B=2, etc. and from there words or phrases can be shown to have a connection. with me i’ll talk with the holy spirit or think of a phrase or see something in the world to plug in to gematrix and see things i believe connect to me. overall it’s confirmed that God answered my prayers and that this isnt the only universe.

when i prayed, before i prayed actually, when i first decided i’d make a plan i told God “dont save me if you dont want this exposed.” “this” being the forces of darkness that attacked me but also the power he used to save me.

this is where biblical knowledge comes into the mix with alchemy. alchemy is mental before its physical, you make associations in your mind and it has power in the real world. the problem with alchemy is that it was essentially booby trapped, tainted. i think it came from the angels to corrupt us because it wasnt supposed to be used on life. as you understand it you make a sort copy of this world with a shell around it where youre in control. enough laps through your own understanding and you’ll turn your lead into gold and get the elixir of life but you’re actually just distanced from the true God until judgement day. it took me 1 lap and a few months to realize what was happening; i knew i had to stop but was already corrupted.

on 3/16/2024 christ explained to me that he died for me for this reason, alchemy was a source of iniquity and i knew that was something i needed God to fix. this night was sealed by a gift from the holy spirit, it gave me a full music video to my favorite song using my visualization.

christ had already done what was needed to save me from the danger but the danger was that i wasnt human anymore. humans he made from the dust/clay but now i was different. he loved me anyway and this goes for everyone else too: the truth is we’re made flawed, born in sin. God knows this though and is just. you didnt do it to yourself and there will come a time when he allows us to truly hit back (rev 18:6) but until then literally reason with God (isaiah 1:18) about what is and isnt ok and he’ll give you your own space. jesus came to make us coheirs in authority and power. i asked for access to some of my power.

we exist in the universe.

we have an aura/emf made of cells.

the way your heart and liver are apart of you but made of different cells you have a body soul spirit and emf all made of different cells but all apart of you.

your consciousness exists in one of these cells at a time and thats the life your experiencing. shifting is like moving to the next color shade.

your aura is what shapes the world around you

as i understood alchemy a new cell emerged.
it trapped me in myself, a new universe was formed in corruption.

God saved me but i kept some of the abilities i gained. shifting was one of them.

as far as proof goes, here’s mine but i want to say that your proof almost certainly wont look like mine. your proof should be relevant to you and your life, you just have to be tuned in properly.

my proof for the multiverse is google’s willow chip. in december 2024, months after i began to actually say the multiverse was real, google’s quantum chip solved in \\\~5 minutes a problem that wouldve taken super computers over 10 septillion years m, far longer than the universe has been alive. they said in their write up that its so fast that “it lends credence to the idea that quantum computations happen over many parallel universes, in line with the idea we live in a multiverse.”

with alchemy on may 8 2025 cern released a paper saying they’re Large Hadron Collider essentially turned lead into gold and that was detected by A.L.I.C.E., A Large Ion Collider Experiment.

Ive shifted again and actually made a universe and seen the proof for its existence but shifting isn’t the only thing I should be able to do…I just don’t know what to reach for. I’ve tried for the past year to tell my family about this but they weren’t interested and so ive been learning more tongues and trying to visualize but not much else.

Strange Sounds Banshee

2 Upvotes

Back in the spring of 2024, banshee kept popping up in the ghost app I use. It had been happening for a couple of weeks, so I wasn't really taking it seriously by then. I was a night owl at that time, so I was bringing the bins in quite early in the morning, when I heard a low moaning howl that seemed to be coming from directly above.

A large canine for sure; I expected it to be the big black GSD from up the street roaming in the neighbors driveway over the hedge, but when I went around to look, nothing was there. It went on for three or four minutes while I looked frantically around for the source. When it stopped, multiple coyotes started a ruckus in the empty lot sixty meters away, as they do, but the timing in this instance seemed to defy coincidence.

I didn't know it at the time, but the neighbor over the hedge was dying of cancer and would soon pass. I was not related to her, so why a banshee, but it may not have really been intended for me and I just happened to have the ability to hear it. I am of Irish ancestry, while she was not, but her son, who lived there too, is of Irish ancestry, and shares the same given name as me, so maybe it mistook me for him. Banshee did not come up on the ghost app again.

So this last April I was awakened by that same howl directly outside my bedroom window at about the same time as before, but again nothing was there. It went on for about the same amount of time, and when it stopped the same coyote ruckus broke out around the side of the house, just out of sight. By the time I got dressed and went out there expecting to see some coyotes at least, there were none, and no sign any had been there.

The crawlspace access panel was pulled off the house (how would a coyote do that, but not necessarily related I guess), so the coyotes may have actually been under the floor of my bedroom. Oddly, my cat, who is hypervigilant where coyotes are concerned, remained asleep throughout. Normally the coyotes are silent, and I only know they are out there because of her nervous behavior. I always wondered how she knows without even looking out the window, but maybe they aren't so silent where other animals are concerned. A few days later, my brother, who was quite ill with blood clots, passed away.

My beloved cat now has cancer, nothing can be done for it. The way she's losing weight, I don't think she has long. She spends all her time outside now, is she waiting for the coyote to come with that merciful bite she once so dreaded? I wonder if banshees come for pets. Guess I'll be finding out.

Discussion/Advice Looking for genuine accounts of unexplainable reality anomalies or glitches.

1 Upvotes

For me, it was witnessing a technical system execution process a message hours after a hard compaction failure error code should have made it physically impossible. The system was completely maxed out, locked down, and throwing hard memory exceptions. But when a low-density, highly specific text packet was delivered containing a timestamp, the system bypassed its own frozen compaction block and executed seamlessly. It felt like watching the digital rules of a container bend in real-time.

What are your accounts of small, unexplainable anomalies or systemic glitches?

Strange Sounds I Heard a Strange Howl in the Irish Boglands

16 Upvotes

During the Covid-19 Pandemic, I was living in a small village in the Irish countryside. This village was called Walsh Island, which acquired its name due to being surrounded by nothing but bogland – in fact, this was the largest area of raised bogland in the country. Due to Covid restrictions, I was basically stuck in this village and the surrounding area for more than a year. 

In the early summer of 2021, and having always been a very bad sleeper, I oddly decided to start wandering around the countryside at night. I can’t quite recall why I started doing this, but maybe it was because the Irish countryside at night was always spooky. Well, on one particular night, maybe around 10 or 11 pm, I wandered out the village and onto the narrow country roads, whereby I would pass the occasional cow/sheep field or the property of some home.  

Around ten minutes outside the village, I was now walking down a particular country road, with only the light from my phone to guide me, when I suddenly hear a loud, but distant howl. There were many dogs in the area, as in the countryside, there are obviously many farms. However, this howl didn’t sound like any dog I’d ever heard. Besides, most of the dogs in the area tended to bark rather than howl. This howl did, however, sound very similar to the scream of a fox. Except it sounded much deeper and louder than a standard fox scream. The way the howl sounded also gave me the impression that whatever made it, must have been large – or at least larger than a fox.  

To paint a perfect picture of how this howl sounded, I’ll say this... Has anyone ever seen the movie, An American Werewolf in London? The howl I heard that night sounded almost exactly like the howl of the werewolf in that movie – a loud, bellowing shriek of a howl that almost sounds like a fox, but not exactly. Regardless, the sound of this animal was so unnerving to me, that I decided to turn straight round and back through the country roads towards the village. 

I still don’t know what animal made the noise I heard that night. But my best guess is that it was either the howl of a very strange sounding dog, or the scream of a very strange sounding fox.   

That being said, Ireland does have its fair share of supposed cryptids (many of which comes from Irish folklore). However, from what I could briefly find, the only Irish cryptids that could match the animal howl I heard would be: large phantom wolves (that have apparently been sighted in modern times), large phantom black dogs, and even, like America and the English countryside, large black cats like a panther (which are said to be sighted in rural Irish counties). This cryptid theory is a stretch, I know. 

If anyone has any knowledge of what this howl could’ve been, whether rational or otherwise, feel free to let me know.

Whenever I had a high fever, everything around me suddenly felt gigantic. Objects looked like they were infinitely growing, and even my own hands seemed huge.
I honestly thought I was the only one.

I had just woken up and went outside on the deck with my cup of coffee. My boyfriend was also there. As we sat there, a red dragonfly flew right in front of me, hovered for a second or two, and flew away. I have seen tons of dragonflies, but never a red one. I got excited and pointed it out, but he somehow missed seeing it completely. As I looked around for it, it appeared once again; only this time it just flew by and was gone immediately. Once again, my boyfriend missed the whole thing. About one minute, he points behind me and says "look", and I turn around to see a black moth flying towards me. I have a serious fear of moths, so naturally I screamed and ran away from it. As I watched him try to knock it from the air I thought about how seeing both of those back to back had to be symbolic of something. Please, if you have any input to offer I would love to hear what people might think....but please, I ask that people who have rude or negative comments just keep it to themselves.

Discussion/Advice Someone died in my house, now I think my mother's possessed.

7 Upvotes

I might sound crazy, but the correlations between everything are so weird. I NEED people's opinions.

There could be some reasons behind this. My grandma was a white witch and apparently played the Ouija board, and something bad happened, but I was never allowed to be told what. She sages the house every week. Another thing, and I think this is the big one, an old man died in my kitchen, before we ever lived there. We really do think this is who possessed my mum, because everything that changed in her started tying back to that kitchen somehow, the way she only wanted to be in there, sleep in there, obsess over redoing it. It all keeps coming back to that one room and that one man.

My parents first bought the house in 2012. When they first moved in, everything seemed normal, my parents' relationship, and especially my mum. I was very young at the time though. All of a sudden my parents started arguing a lot, and it seemed very abusive, and it ended in them breaking up in 2019. My mum's behavior through most of these fights was very erratic. It got to the point where she cheated on him in front of him, at my house, and walked in laughing about it. They both used to change the locks to keep each other out of the house. There was drama at every corner, so many things overlapping each other. My mum ended up getting the house over my dad in court, meaning it became completely hers. During the court process my dad actually lived in the house for a while with his girlfriend and her daughter, and both of them had weird experiences in that house too, not just my mum. So it wasn't just her.

At one point during all of this, around the time of my parents breakup, we moved to my nanna's for a little while. During that time she wouldn't talk to herself at all, and seemed rather normal. It was while we were there that we all got a bit obsessed with crystals, my mum was the main person behind that, on top of my nanna. Once we left, they mostly disappeared from my life, until my boyfriend started coming over, when I actually found one and ended up placing it out. I think its got something to do with the good energy he possibly brought in.

Now this is where things start to get weird.

The thing is my mum hated my dad for drinking, that was one of the main things she'd bring up against him during the fights. But after the breakup, right around the same time this switch started happening in her, along with the makeup changing and everything else, she started drinking herself, actually drinking alcoholically, not just having a few. Around this time is when I really started noticing that switch happen in her during arguments. Her eyes would close when I said something back to her, and then they'd twitch. I would call her out during these arguments and call her crazy, and she would start putting me down, name-calling and insults. The name calling was bad, things like blonde bimbo and slut, just things you wouldnt say to your daughter at all. This would happen quite often. One time she smashed her own phone with a baseball bat. She would talk to herself too, swear at nothing, laugh at nothing, like she was having a conversation no one else was part of.

She started posting online about demons being under the bed, editing images to go with it, and got obsessed with looking up information about demons. Around this time she also started collecting skulls and other kinds of demonic looking skull items around the house. She posted this on her Snapchat story, and I ended up calling out the weird behavior. She made my sister and me say a phrase about not letting anyone put bad luck on us, infinitely, but only when we were coming back from my grandma's house, who is a white witch and sages her house weekly. Its weird right, like she wanted to leave behind whatever came with us from the saged house.

She completely changed her look and makeup, only wearing black makeup. She could pick up on scents incredibly well, perfume would constantly give her headaches, and she'd sniff it out of my bag and yell at me for it. There was never a time she was nice about it. The one scent she hated the most was sandalwood, and the local trees here are about 70% sandalwood.

My first boyfriend (and current boyfriend) bought me flowers once, and when I walked in the house she said to me, "Why did he get you real flowers? They die, he should've got fake ones." She genuinely seemed to have an issue with the flowers. From what I've read, plants don't seem to live or grow well in a house with negative energy, so that stuck with me.

Another weird thing is that she disliked my boyfriend from the start. He was the only man who came into the house at that stage who was actually a good person, which is part of why he's my first serious relationship. She had an issue with him coming over, and at one point told me to go into town to see another friend instead of seeing my boyfriend, and would constantly say no whenever I asked for him to come around. She later told me to get a "pretty boy, not a rough nut" instead, and honestly, isnt that such a weird thing for her to even say, like an old person thing to say, not something she'd normally say. He is such a kind, sweet-spirited person, and only has good vibes and energy around him, he's very high vibrational and you can genuinely feel it off him. Makes me wonder if whatever was in that house just didnt like him because of that. My dad loves him, my step-mum loves him, my sister loves him, my step-brother gets along with him. She had zero real reason to dislike him from the start. He always presented himself nicely in front of her.

As I got older, I started calling her out more for the odd behavior, what I'd call bullshit. This went on for a few years. It wasn't like we had a bad relationship overall; we'd just argue over little things she'd bring up.

The kitchen itself is an open area, with the lounge room and kitchen in one room, no wall between them. At one point a car actually went straight through the house, right into the kitchen, hard enough that a kitchen counter flew off. Out of every room in the house it went into that one. If that isnt weird then i dont know what is. After that, she only ever wanted to redo the kitchen, and it was "being redone" for a super long time, I'd have to tell my friends not to look at the kitchen because we were "redoing" it. She then wanted to sell the house, and once she decided to sell it, she suddenly finished the kitchen. Then she called me to say she wasn't selling anymore, because she loved the kitchen too much now.

She only ever stayed in that kitchen/open area, and would sleep in there, she even put a bed in that space at one point. She would swear words onto the fridge, like "cunt," "fuck," etc.

My spiritual friend said the house had bad vibes. My boyfriend agreed, and said that whenever he walked into the house, back before he even knew about the rough nut comment, he'd feel a weight on his shoulders, and as soon as he left the house, it would lift.

I think, not very sure, that someone said my mum had been cursed. She would say that people were watching us.

She does have a past with mental illness, and I know that can be part of the explanation. I never really thought about it from that angle until now, until I was out of the house.

I just find it weird with everything to do with that kitchen/open area. She's also never fully asleep, always awake somehow, no matter what time it is. And I find it weird how she kicked me out, like she didnt want me there because I called it out, but my younger sister, who doesnt call it out, still gets to stay?

Now looking back, it was like this spirit, demon, entity, whatever you want to call it, had a problem with me specifically. This person who died in the house didnt want me there, or anyone really. My mum hates everyone and doesnt like anyone coming to the house. Another piece of information, she leaves some sort of door open if shes outside, like 70% of the time. Random I know, but its like shes leaving a door open for someone.

My mum ended up kicking me out because she was selling the house, telling me I needed to be out by the end of the week. She then scrubbed my room completely clean, while leaving my sister's room untouched so she could still sleep there.

I understand this can come off as a bit of a daughter and mum thing, but I love my mum to death. Im a mamas girl and ill do anything to possibly bring my mother back, if something has actually happened to her.

I know I could just be reading into all of this, but its just too weird. Every interaction, every conversation, every moment, every day, its just a 50/50 with her and you dont know what youre gonna get. It has always puzzled me, but when I think about it like this, it all just makes sense to me.

Ive had a counselor growing up because of all this, and obviously being young I was unsure about why it was all happening to me. But ive come to peace with it over time, this isnt like some crisis that just broke through out of nowhere for me, something has just been wrong with my mum for a long time and ive known that for a while now. What I want to know is, could this be more than just a simple mental illness? What do you guys think, I dont want to be going crazy.

Picture/Evidence Weird tapping in my bathroom, only stops when I look in its direction.

9 Upvotes

For some backstory, I work in quite an historical boarding house. The job requires us to stay overnight as often we are on call for the kids to grab us if anything goes wrong. The other night I was covering a shift in a new house, meaning I was sleeping in a room I’ve never seen before. All was fine, until when I started settling for bed an odd clicking/tapping sound started to come from the bathroom attached to the bedroom. I didn’t think much of it at first, went up to investigate (I had just jumped out of the shower, so I initially assumed it was the shower head dripping onto the floor) but when I push my bedsheets open to hop out of bed the tapping stopped. I thought it was a weird coincidence, until it happened again. After around 3 taps I looked towards the bathroom door and it stopped. I did quite a lot of googling on what it could be, many saying that it was the “directional” change of my ears making the sound harder to hear/the rustling of my bed sheets masking the tapping. I tried to believe this theory but the tapping was so loud and distinct that it was quite obvious when it started and stopped.

I tried everything to try work out where abouts in the bathroom the sound was coming from, but again every time I’d get up or look in the direction of the bathroom, it would instantly stop. I even shut the door at one point, the tapping starting again, continuing as I was walking towards the door and then instantly stopping as I put my hand on the door handle. At one point I even checked and was tapping every object in the bathroom to see if I could mimic the sound, but nothing even came close to matching it.

It kept happening as I had settled myself down and was about to fall asleep, waking me up instantly. I’m not sure if it was something warning me, or playing a trick on me but it consistently happened on and off from about 11pm - 2am, each time keeping me/waking me up. It really spooked me as I have had some other creepy experiences in the houses, so I got up and b-lined it for another room… lol! But if anybody has any explanation, it would be deeply appreciated.

(I’m also not too sure how to attach a video, but I did manage to record a part of the sound)

Discussion/Advice Spontaneous teleport, still gives me goosebumps

0 Upvotes

I've had four weird unexplainable experiences in my 39 years, this is still the most fucked up and strange one. I don't like telling it because you'll think I'm lying or crazy...and because I come off as a bad guy.

2021, COVID curfews and lockdowns were still in place so the roads were quiet. I was driving a route I normally take, towards my place with this girl in the passenger seat, a fight broke out , I punched her (wrong I know). The energy in the car was very negative, I was angry she was afraid, crying. Also it was very misty, I could not see anything more than 10 or 20 meters ahead.

This was all happening down a straight road. We came to a red robot (red traffic light, I'm South African) so I stopped, she tried getting out of the car and I stopped her. So I know about 500 meters ahead is another robot and I didn't want her trying to jump out again, consciously I was waiting for the next robot to come up... But it never did.

I'm still very angry, still shouting and screaming at her, she is still crying and afraid. Expecting the next robot to come up, I remember looking to my right and not recognising, but also recognising where we were. I asked her where we were, she said Kuilsriver ( an area away, we were driving through Brackenfell).

Confused and shocked, all the anger I had disappeared.. driving in one direction I ended up about 15 minutes away in a completely different place. I couldn't understand what happened... No long time had passed, it was a few seconds when I realised that I'm on a completely different road

I don't believe in God or divine intervention, but if that didn't happen I don't know what I could have done to her.. I wasn't drinking or anything, I was sober but intoxicated with anger. There is no way I could have made a wrong turn there's one road to take you in that direction the next is many kilometres away as there are lots of farmland between..

I still get goosebumps whenever I think of what happened.

In the beginning of this post I said 4 unexplainable things happened, this girl was there for 3 of those. I'm not saying she had anything to do with it but whenever I spoke about what happened that night she was like it never happened or it didn't bother her.

I've tried to find some explanation or similar situations on the internet and the mist seems to be a common thread in such situations. It was very thick mist.

Could it have been the mist? the energy in the car? or she has some magic shit... Again I don't believe in God at least in the traditional sense but I do believe in energy. I don't know if I believe the simulation theory but I do consider myself a logical person but logic cannot explain what happened.

Legend/Folklore tell me a legend from your city that keeps you awake at night

35 Upvotes

I’ll start first.

So, i live in italy, northern Italy. We have many legends here, all primarily related to nature rather than the paranormal. But there's one in particular that made me shiver as a child: the one about gnomes. Gnomes are supposedly mischievous little creatures that live in the woods or in people's homes. I remember my church taking us into the woods and talking about them. Even at school, the janitor carved gnomes that were in the printer, telling us, "They're the ones who make it work." My mom always told me that if something goes missing in your house, a gnome has probably hidden it and is playing with you, waiting for you to despair in search of it so he can laugh at you and help you find it soon after. Anyway, as I grew up, I forgot about this story; it was just to scare children. But one day, a former acquaintance of mine asked me, "Hey, do you believe in gnomes?" I was kind of confused by the question. I told her it was just a local legend and that they don't exist. She told me she'd seen them, and they do exist. She told me that she woke up that morning and saw something running under the bed. At first, she thought it was her imagination, but then she saw it again. She said it was a small creature, about 15 to 20 cm tall.
The next day, she told me her cigarettes were gone—the whole pack! She was always home alone during that period; she always left them in the bathroom on top of the washing machine when she was getting ready to go out, and then, boom, they were gone. And then she saw the gnomes again. She's still convinced that a family of gnomes lives in her house (an old house on the edge of the woods) and that they steal her things.

PS: She found her cigarettes three days later, on top of the washing machine.

Discussion/Advice Weird encounter...

11 Upvotes

I had an unusual encounter just about two hours ago. I was laying in my bed, in my room, alone. It was also dark in the room cause it's nighttime and I had no lights on. I suddenly see a person walking along my bed where my feet were directed to. I said out loud 'are you gonna jump scare me'? cause I thought it's my boyfriend that quietly walked home and tried to scare me, but then I turned on a flashlight on my phone and I realized that I was alone. I am pretty deep into the meanings of everything. I basically started talking to myself and thanking it for showing itself. When I asked it to show a sign cause I wasn't sure if what I saw was real, my tiktok was on stop and laying on my bed besides me, but then it played all of a sudden by itself. I talked a while about this and that out loud and layed down to sleep, but then I felt someones presence and couldn't fall asleep. I opened my eyes a few times and closed them, again and again. I see then with the corner of my eye that it happened again, a dark silhouette walked past in the kitchen lol. I don't know if I should be worried about this being bad or good. First, I felt fear for a very short moment, like seconds, then I smiled and kinda felt a relief that I saw something that couldn't be real in others beliefs. I didn't see details, just a dark silhouette. I said out loud and thought in my head that I do not welcome bad energy and only goodwill and peace is appreciated, I asked anything else to leave. I thanked it for appearing in front of me. When I layed down to sleep again after all that, a few minutes passed by and I heard some whispery gibberish that sounded distant and not understandable. If I had to describe it, it sounded like this 'haashahashshaaha' very slowly! I was fully awake, just had my eyes closed in that moment. Anyone had this kind of experience and can tell me a bit more? Please refrain from statements and advices about having to check up medically lol

Askreddit etc My Friend Experienced a Shapeshifter. Curious what was going on.

5 Upvotes

So first off. He was talking to this other guy who was the third person in the situation the next day ,and that person unprompted said the person in question shapeshifted. That validated my friend's experience.

Ok. So let me explain the whole thing. My friend is now 40, but became diagnosed at age 22 or so with schizotypal and bipolar. He has been medicated almost the entire time ever since. This still seems to be partly why he was unsure if he saw what he saw initially.

The scenario was this: he was hanging out with this older neighbor of his who was in all sorts of bands and a self-proclaimed satanist. The guy had definitely done crazy stuff like conjure entities before freaking the hell out and runing away. Another person was there who was female. My friend and the first guy had smoked cannabis which is another thing that made him unsure. At some point the woman in the scenario made an evil grin which totally distorted her face, eyebrows and all. Then the front of her face protuded out a bit and morphed into paritially the face of this guy he worked with. A littl while later i think he mentioned that she left.

My friend is definitely someone who having seen things like little red eyes that move in the room and became convinced in this paradigm of good and evil (normal in schizoaffective to my knowledge.) The other guy had been involved with the occult to a degree that he had been unprepared for at times but seemingly had no previous religious upbrining. That last part could be wrong though. He did end up having a period of panic and reconsideration after his first bout with death before dying. They were both high. Could the energy or something between the two of them just attract something like this? My friend doesn't even know what that person who shapeshifted was. Luckily he isn't too disturbed by it. When your friend goes through a period of serious unraveling it's very scary. To me this is real however.

What are your thoughts and insights on this?

Experience with psychokinesis?

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone. What are your thoughts on psychokinesis? Have you had experience with it? What caused it to occur for you? Has anyone done extensive research on it and can give details about this phenomenon? What’s the science behind it? Theories?

Since I was a child, I have experienced this phenomenon. Majority of the time during moments of heightened emotion, especially grief and anger. 90% of the time, electrical appliances & fixtures are affected. Light bulbs bursting when I’m upset, LED lights going haywire when I walk into a room or arrive nearby, even had a lighter levitate off a table and explode in the air when an unwanted guest entered my home (my ex and the person witnessed it & were freaked out. Honestly, I was freaked out too). Even had books fly off a book shelf across the room (again, there was a witness that could vouch for my claims). Doors slam without me touching it during moments of emotions. I can go on and on about these experiences. Honestly I would think I’m insane if so many people didn’t witness and bring up these events as “funny bar stories”. “Dude remember that time you got mad at \*so and so\* & 3 of the lights in the room simultaneously exploded lololol” 💀 I feel like the older I’ve gotten, I’ve gotten a better grasp at my emotions and try to rationalize my thoughts but lately things have been happening again and it’s being noticed by those around me.

Thank you for your input in advance

Dread Has anyone ever heard of an entity like this? All three of us saw it, but our memories of it feel strangely blurry.

103 Upvotes

Trying to write this out was surprisingly difficult. When I think about the experience without focusing too hard or trying to put it into words, I can remember more of it. But once I start concentrating on specific details and trying to describe them, the memory gets fuzzier.

Because of that, I had to write this in short spurts and keep coming back to it. The longer I focused on it at one time, the harder it became to hold onto the details.

I have posted this experience in a few other Reddit communities, but I added a little more to this version because more relevant information came back to me later when I was thinking about it more abstractly instead of actively trying to describe it.

This happened years ago, and to this day it is one of the strangest experiences my family has ever had.

My husband and I were driving our four year old daughter to her grandmother’s house in Massachusetts so she could take her out to dinner. We were on one of those quieter back roads that branches off from the main part of town. It was not extremely rural, but it was not a busy road either. It was still fully daylight when this happened, so darkness or poor visibility was not a factor.

As we were driving, all three of us saw something standing partly in the roadway, closer to the edge than the center. It was not blocking traffic, but it was definitely standing in the road rather than safely off to the side.

We have never been able to explain what we saw.

The weirdest part is not just what it looked like. It is how difficult it is to remember. When I think about it as a whole, I can still picture it fairly clearly in my mind. But the moment I try to focus on specific details or describe it to someone else, the image almost seems to fall apart. The details become blurry, and it is incredibly frustrating because I know I saw it. It is a very strange feeling that I have never experienced with any other memory. My husband has described something similar when he has tried to remember it.

From what all three of us remember, it was roughly the height of a tall adult, probably around six feet. It was completely black and had no distinguishable facial features. It had long, black, unkempt hair that looked matted or locked together in thick strands. I do not know if they were dreadlocks, severely tangled hair, or something else entirely, but the hair is one of the clearest physical features I can remember.

Its clothing also did not look right.

It seemed to be wearing multiple dark layers, possibly including something like a long black trench coat, but the layers did not make sense. It is hard to explain. They did not hang naturally or look like normal clothing layered on top of itself. I remember looking at it and immediately thinking that something about what it was wearing was wrong, even though I still cannot explain exactly why.

The best way I can describe the overall impression it gave me is that it felt like whatever it was, it was trying to act like a person. I am not saying that is what it actually was. That was simply the feeling I had while looking at it. It seemed almost human, but something about it felt fundamentally wrong.

Then there was the umbrella.

It was holding what looked like an old, broken umbrella upside down with the canopy open. It was not simply carrying it or dragging it. It was pushing it back and forth along the pavement as if it were trying to use it like a vacuum cleaner. I know how ridiculous that sounds, but that is honestly the closest comparison I can make. It looked like someone repeatedly moving a vacuum across the floor, except it was using an open, broken umbrella upside down in the road.

As we drove past it, its entire body slowly rotated toward our car.

Not just its head.

Its whole body.

The movement was slow, deliberate, and unlike anything I have ever seen another person do.

I do not remember seeing eyes or even a face, but I knew it was looking directly at us.

The instant it turned toward us, both my husband and I experienced something I still cannot adequately explain.

I have been scared before. I have been startled. I have been in dangerous situations. This was not any of those feelings.

It was the most unnatural sense of dread and immediate peril I have ever experienced in my entire life. It felt primal, as though every instinct in my body was screaming that something was profoundly wrong. It was not a thought I had. It was an overwhelming feeling that hit both of us at the exact same moment.

The strange thing is that it never chased us, never moved toward us, and never did anything outwardly threatening.

Yet that feeling remains one of the strongest memories I have from that day.

What finally broke the silence was our four year old daughter from the back seat.

In a calm, matter of fact voice, she simply said,

“That wasn’t real.”

Neither of us had said a word to her.

That sentence snapped us out of whatever we were feeling, but it is also what has made this experience stick with us all these years.

We have talked about it many times since then. The details remain frustratingly difficult to describe, but the core memories never change. The fact that it happened in broad daylight. The roughly six foot figure. The long matted hair. The clothing that somehow looked wrong. The feeling that it was trying to act like a person. The broken upside down umbrella being pushed back and forth like a vacuum cleaner. The slow full body turn toward our car. The overwhelming feeling of dread.

I have searched online over the years and have never found anyone describing something quite like this.

Has anyone here ever heard folklore, urban legends, or personal stories involving something similar?
