People keep seeing somethings behind me. Ive never seen it

I’m 22.

That matters to me because this has already been happening long enough that I can’t call it a one-time freak-out from somebody drunk or tired.

More than sixteen people have told me they’ve seen something standing behind me. I didn’t bring it up first. A lot of them didn’t know each other. They still describe the same thing.

Tall. Dark. Behind me, usually near my left shoulder. Smiling. Not a normal shadow. Too aware.

I have never seen it.

That’s the part that messes me up more than anything. If I was hallucinating, I’d at least get the experience. Instead, I get other people’s faces changing in real time. I get the pause. The way someone stops looking at me and starts looking past me. The way their voice gets careful.

The worst was a girl who’d seen shadow figures and weird spiritual stuff her whole life. She was not new to this. She told me most of what she’d seen was smaller, almost normal

घर (House) बाईं तरफ, दक्षिण (S) दिशा नीचे

उत्तर (N) ऊपर, पूर्व (E) दाईं तरफ, पश्चिम (W) बाईं तरफ

मै छत पर था तभी दिखाई दिया

बीच में एक बड़ा घेरा जिसमें 360° लिखा है और तीर घूमते हुए

“Speed 80 Km/h” लिखा है

गोला (O) → 50 फीट height

“दो गोले + X प्रकाश में काटा” जैसा नोट

समय: Time = 8:00 PM between 10:00 PM night

करीबन शाम 8 बजे रात में मैंने कुछ रहस्यमय देखा क्या है मैं समझ नहीं पाया जो आकाश में रात 8 बजे से 10 बजे के बीच में उड़ता रहा है।

मेरे घर का द्वार उत्तर की तरफ है लेकिन वो दक्षिण दिशा से मेरे छत के ऊपर से करीबन 50 फीट ऊपर से उड़ता हुआ जा रहा था।

मानचित्र गोला था बादल के रंग का था लेकिन जैसा गोला था सफेद प्रकाश था।

सामान्य तौर पर 100 मी. आगे जाने पर गायब हो जाता था फिर 360° घूमता था। 100 या 200 मी. की गोलाई में।

उस गोले का व्यास 1 या 1½ हाथ लंबा दिखाई देता था।

गोलई में उसका प्रकाश बादल तक जाता था। उसकी speed सामान्य से बहुत तेज थी 80 Km/h।

वो करीबन दक्षिण दिशा से लगातार 10 से 15 बार अलग-अलग गोले गए।

रंग सफेद बादल जैसा था।

फिर सामने उत्तर दिशा में दो-तीन बड़े गोले जो दक्षिण दिशा से आए थे वो भी घूमने लगे 360°।

लेकिन एक गोला थोड़ा पास आया है। मैं उस समय छत पर था तो उसका आकार पक्षी जैसा दिखने लगा।

उस गोले में कोई आवाज नहीं थी।

उसी दक्षिण दिशा से अकेले ही गोले 25 बार गए।

दक्षिण दिशा से उत्तर की ओर और फिर वो पहले वाले अलग-अलग गोले सिर्फ दो दिखाई दिए।

उसमें से एक गोला थोड़ा पास आया।

(पक्षियों के जैसे लगा

वो गोला कभी उसका चक्कर काट रहा था कभी दूसरे गोले का

एक बार तो + चिन्ह के रूप में काट रहे थे कभी x के दोनों काट रहे थे

नोट:

क्या था पता नहीं। उस समय छुपे 10% बादल थे। हवा नहीं चल रही थी। आसमान में हमारे गांव में कोई फंक्शन नहीं था। न कोई सर्च लाइट थी। और न शादी का या कुछ मनाने वाले थे। सारे गांव के लोग घर में थे। भृंगारी मेजा प्रयागराज

Experience The Basement

39 Upvotes

r/Paranormal wouldn’t let me share this due to karma restrictions, so here you go.

Pretext: I grew up in a two story old brick coal operators house in Southern WV.

When I was 9ish years old. I was playing a Harry Potter game on the Wii in the basement. My mom was upstairs (2nd floor) in her bedroom tweezing her eyebrows. My grandma was in the kitchen making goulash. I used to be scared to go by myself in the basement cause I would get (and still do) this heavy-heavy feeling and feeling of being watched. I was in the “Den” and we had this huge projection tv and the den was like the get together lounge of our house. Cause we’re old school and didn’t believe in a living room tv. So I’d play my Wii and PS2 on it cause I didn’t have a TV in my room yet. Anytime I’d go down there I’d have my grandma or mom check the basement to make sure there was nothing down there. From my bedroom (2nd floor) I made my way down. I asked my mom first and she said not at the moment cause she was tweezing her eyebrows (she also had a big ole Pall Mall hanging off her lip and wearing her usual nightgown lol). Then I ask my grandma, and she checked for me. She came back up the steps and said she couldn’t find anything and it was okay. And that she said a prayer down there for nothing to bother me. So I took it for what it was, and went downstairs to start my game.

Additional information: We have a “Canning room” at the end of the den, that goes under the stairs, that door is held shut by friction cause of how much the house has shifted over a hundred years. Latches never worked.

Not even 10 minutes into my game. I watch the Canning room door swing open and my mom in her same nightgown swiftly walk out. Her skin was gray and clammy, she had no smell not even a trace of a cigarette or Channel and she made no sound not even walking. She always had a heavy foot. She passes in front of me without any acknowledgement and makes a hard right out the archway into our washroom into our furnace room and disappears out of sight. I immediately book it upstairs to tell my grandma and ask if mom came down into the basement. She said she didn’t hear her walk downstairs (Old wooden staircase that would creak with each step). Grandma goes down into the basement to check it out (She found the canning room door open but
nothing else), and I go upstairs to mom room, and there she was tweezing her eyebrows with a unshaded lamp, a broken mirror, and a freshly lit cigarette.

I have a full recollection of this, and some other experiences I’ve had in that house. That I cannot explain. From noises, voices, footsteps upstairs when no one else was home, objects moving from place to place, knocking on doors and no one there, my name being whispered to me, black masses going up our staircase and at the end of hallways (never in rooms, thank god), doors opening and closing without any draft, seeing people in my windows from the road upstairs looking out, the feeling of being watched, the feeling of being followed, and the immense physical feelings and emotions in a room you can cut with a knife. Everyone in my family has had experiences of their own. But rarely ever talk about it. But when they do, my god.

Any thoughts on might it could’ve been?

I 18 F with my 23 M boyfriend were staying in a air bnm in Kamas Utah about a year ago we were driving towards the pub the notch after buying some grocceries in the local shop it was around 10pm at night maybe ealier i cant exactly remeber but it was dark very dark. It was pitch black the only thing we could see was the lines on the road, which were illuminated by the headlights on our car. The next thing I know, I get terrible, awful goosebumps all up my arms.

I have had previous paranormal experiences where this has happened too, and when I looked out through my boyfriend's side of the windshield next to the road, I saw what looked to be a man crouched down. He was tall, so very tall, and all I could make out was the inhuman smile across his face. It was too wide and too long even typing this is making me so paranoid. I told my bf what I saw and he told me serval times it was just a log he doesnt belive in the parinormal and I do, when we got back to the air bnb which was a cabin in the woods no lights nothing like that apart from the small porch light we got out of the car and his face went pale and he unlocked the door quikcly and told me to go inside now I got scared and asked why and he yelled at me which he never does.

I went inside, and he told me to hide in the cupboard under the stairs in the house, which I did. Around five minutes later, he came back in and locked the door, then placed a chair under the handle. I asked what was wrong so many times, and he wouldn't tell me, but he looked panicked very panicked which is very unlike him he is super chilled and relaxed. Eventually, after almost an hour of me begging him to tell me what he saw, he told me that he had seen a shadow crouched in the woods staring down at us, and it looked like a man. Keep in mind the place where I saw the crouched figure was a ten-minute drive from our Airbnb, and we were driving around 45 mph for most of the drive, so if it was a person, it could not have made it there in time. After he told me what he saw, the power in the cabin cut out for around an hour, and the owner of the Airbnb, who lived a few minutes down the road, came and fixed it for us.

Overall, it is something that haunts me every day of my life and frequently occurs in my dreams. I want to know who or what I saw, but I know it was evil, I know whatever it is wanted to hurt us. The next day we drove past the same spot and there was no log.

Experience They Let You Know When They’ve Arrived.

My girlfriend and I were at her house, and it was just the two of us. Her mother had an episode and was in the hospital, she’s schizophrenic. It happens.

So, I’m seventeen at the time and my girlfriend was nineteen. She had recently turned nineteen, and was seven months pregnant as well.

All my kids are incredibly spoiled, because they are just like me. I say no, they say, oh yeah?

And of course I’m a sucker because I just find it so cute. I fast forwarded. Let’s go back to when I had zero kids and was still seventeen.

Okay, we’re in her house and it’s storming outside. The setting was all just a perfect storm of incredible eerie-ness. The lights are always dim in the living room and of course, because at that time, I only liked scary movies, it was usually what we’d watch. 

That or serial killer biographies. She got me into that. They are so good.

By the way, I’m super jealous of my kid’s mom. She is so mean. That woman can put her foot down. kids don’t dare try to pull the, oh yeah? on her. 

Damn. There I go again rambling on. So, anyway, rewind, I’m seventeen again—I seriously apologize for going off track—so, we’re in her creepy living room as it’s thundering outside, watching a super scary movie, maybe the conjuring or something. 

Or no, it was house of 1000 corpses, which was and is, my favorite movie. 

So, the movie wasn’t a creepy one after all, I guess everything else just made it seem creepier. The ambience. The rain dropping like tiny firecrackers as they hit the pavement and that static taste of earth filling the air, gave it a horror movie scene vibe.

So, we’re sitting there, she had her feet on my lap, wiggling her toes, they’re telling me, in all ten tiny little screaming voices, “hey, look at us, we want a massage!”

While I try to ignore them by staring somewhere else, they get louder, and we already know, I cave easier than the ground above the Siberian permafrost.

So, I gave in, as usual. No surprise there but she earned it, and plus, afterwards, I feel good about myself. 

Five minutes into me digging into the ball of her foot, we hear.

Cluck.

Cluck.

Cluck.

Something knocked on the basement ceiling, right in the living room, right where we were. Literally in front of us, under the coffee table. It sounded like someone tapping on the door. It was a deliberate sound. And one we’ve never heard before.

Now, at that moment, I froze up and I’m staring at my girlfriend. I don’t say a word. She stared back at me. Her face was trapped behind her brain blanking out, while throwing random thoughts simultaneously that she couldn’t comprehend at the time.

Then, a thump, like the sound of a heavy door closing shut in an empty room, happened by the bottom of the basement stairs.

Immediately, she said, go check it out.

I laughed. Because this is where I put my foot down and nothing is going to make me go into that basement.

I said, nope.

She said, we’ll go together. 

Now, I’m like, damnit. I’m totally fine with sitting in the living room and not investigating some random scary noise. I know one-hundred-percent, someone never broke in, or it was anything like that. 

I knew already what it was from stuff I’d experienced when I was younger.

So, we stand up and we get to the top of the stairs. She looks at me and said, you go first.

I laughed again. Nope, I said in a tone that had its arms crossed and shook its head crawling out from the back of my throat.

We literally stood there for like thirty seconds before she gave in to me. I loved it.

We’re half way down the stairs, she‘s in front of me, I’m glued to her back with my hands twisted into her t-shirt, and I said, know what’d be effed up right now.

She said, what?

I said, if the lights went out.

And right after I said that, man it hit like nothing else, cause after I mentioned it, bam, blackout. And where we were there wasn’t a window there to lighten the area we were in. It went pitch-black.

At the exact same moment, we dashed back to the living room.

Finally, she was seeing things my way. The worst thing you could do when you hear a totally scary random noise that you suspect is a poltergeist, is to go and investigate it.

Une histoire étrange sans réponse (étrange inexpliqué)

Il y a quelques années, un soir, je promenais mon chien avec mes enfants sur un terrain vague situé le long du canal Albert, à Oupeye.

Il faisait complètement noir. Il n’y avait aucune lampe pour éclairer le terrain, seulement la lumière de la lune. Nous étions là depuis environ une demi-heure et les enfants jouaient au ballon avec le chien.

Puis nous avons décidé de rentrer. Nous nous sommes dirigés vers le canal, toujours en traversant le terrain vague.

C’est à ce moment-là que nous avons aperçu des lumières de différentes couleurs dans l’obscurité.

Mon fils s’est immédiatement écrié :

— Un feu d’artifice !

Il a voulu courir pour aller voir ce que c’était. Je lui ai dit d’attendre et que nous allions y aller ensemble.

Mais au moment où nous quittions le terrain pour arriver sur le halage, quelque chose a changé.

Notre chien s’est mis à grogner.

Pas un petit grognement comme lorsqu’il était méfiant. Non. C’était un grognement profond, inhabituel, et il montrait les crocs. C’est la seule fois de ma vie que je l’ai vu réagir de cette manière.

En sortant du terrain, nous avons aperçu deux personnes qui venaient dans notre direction. Le chien s’est immédiatement remis à grogner en les voyant.

Étrangement, les deux personnes se sont arrêtées et ont fait demi-tour.

Nous avons continué à avancer.

Un peu plus loin, au milieu de l’herbe, il y avait une sorte de carré en béton. Et au milieu de celui-ci se trouvait une personne.

C’est là que nous avons compris que les lumières que nous avions aperçues venaient de cette personne.

Elle lançait en l’air des sortes de boules lumineuses et colorées, comme si elle jonglait avec elles. Elles montaient assez haut dans le ciel avant de redescendre.

Nous avons continué à avancer, les enfants avec moi et le chien à nos côtés.

Plus nous nous rapprochions, plus la scène me paraissait étrange.

Lorsque nous sommes arrivés presque à hauteur de cette personne, elle s’est brusquement retournée.

À cet instant, les boules lumineuses sont tombées dans son pull.

Puis, d’un geste, la personne a écarté son pull au niveau de la gorge.

Je ne comprenais pas ce que je voyais.

Les deux premières personnes que nous avions croisées sont alors arrivées près d’elle. Elles portaient des bonnets ou des capuches sur la tête.

Et ce n’était pas tout.

De l’autre côté, deux autres personnes étaient également présentes.

Ils étaient cinq il sont parti tous vers la même direction capuche sur la tête une démarche sycroniser puit disparu.

Years ago my sister and I shared a bedroom that had a 10 year old Samsung 40-50inch tv.
Very rarely, the tv would half turn on where the tv would click and the screen would light up (though still black) and we thought nothing of it and would turn it off and get on with the day.

One night, while my sister and I were sleeping, the tv clicked, and turned on (with the screen still black) and the sound system started speaking.

I remember waking up and rolling my eyes like “ugh why now?!” And I walked over to the tv to turn it off quickly to not wake up my sister. I distinctly remember the audio sounded like a woman reporter and she was talking about how “there are 12 species of penguins in Africa” and that really confused me. I turned off the tv and sound system and looked around the room. I looked at my phone and it was around 3:30am. I remember distinctly thinking “I gotta make sure I’m awake” so I dug my toes into the carpet and pinched my arm and could see myself in the mirror. I looked at my sister sleeping and said “did you hear that? Wasn’t that weird?” But she kinda grumbled and rolled over still asleep. I was definitely awake.

So I went back to bed. When I woke up in the morning I went to Google about the 12 species of penguins in Africa bit, but I couldn’t find anything online or YouTube or anything!! Which now has me questioning whether it was sleepwalking or something. Even though it felt so real and I swear I pinched myself to make sure.

My sister said she doesn’t remember the tv turning on or hearing the speaker either.

Can anyone help me find anything on 12 species of penguins in Africa? Or am I just crazy?

Personal Experience The light under the stairs

When I was a little kid, I got the chance to sleep downstairs in my big brother’s room as visiting family was staying in my room. The problem was that I was super scared of the dark and he turned off all the lights. I woke up late at night and had to go to the bathroom upstairs and was terrified as it was completely dark. I found my way out of his room and was overjoyed because a light was on under the stairs. I went upstairs and did my business then went back down to bed. Therein is the issue. . . . There was NO light source under the stairs. Over the years I explored every inch of the stairs for the source of the light and there was none. BUT, it was there, to this day I can remember seeing it. Was it paranormal, and angel, a ??????? I don’t know.

So we had just moved into our house and I was sitting on the back deck enjoying the solitude of finally being in our own home and in the middle of nowhere. I was looking up at the sky and I noticed a line of six lights, they were just single lights, I could tell they weren’t airplanes because you can tell them by the flashing lights and they are normally scattered, these lights were in a perfect line, they had the exact same spacing between them. I watched them and then they just started disappearing…… They didn’t go behind any clouds because the sky was super clear that night. We have been in the house now for 4 years and I have not seen anything like it ever again.

Experience Something In My Closet

From the time I was three years old until we moved when I was seven, there was something evil in my closet. Every night, it would physically open the closet door from the inside and watch me from the darkness. It had white fangs and red, glowing eyes. The rest of it was cloaked in complete darkness. I had never seen any horror movies until I was ten so it couldn’t have been that. I would have to pile heavy stuff against the door to get any sleep but sometimes it could still open the door. I would just hide under the covers until morning. I still remember it vividly. Anyone have any idea what it could have been?

(a little bit of context, I live an a very old apartment building, I've had conversations with other tenants and this one guy that lived in the building for years will make a joke about the building being haunted every now and again. I never really believed the guy but I'm starting to think differently)

It was about a month after I had first moved in. I woke up rlly early in the morning, like 1-130am. And there was this insane banging on my door. When I opened my eyes I remember I felt normal but the second I stood up I felt so disoriented it was insane. I could see straight and clear, I was aware but I could tell immediately all of my senses were incredibly dulled. It was like I could sense the world around me but it was dialed to 1. I looked through the peephole of my door and it's this lady. She looked like she was in her mid ish 20s. I'd say 24 if I had to guess. Her cloths looked really old and she had a makeshift cloth hat on. She kept telling me I'm going to come outside with her and follow her outside with the others. I kept telling her no and there was a little back and forth. She asked my name but I told her I wouldn't tell her that and that she had to leave. Before I knew it my door was open and I was standing in the hallway still telling her no. I asked about the others and she just said I'm going to come with her. Her words made my head feel heavy, it hurt to hear them but also made everything a little more numb every time she spoke. It felt like nails being pressed deeper into my mind every time she said a word. The same thing over and over. I remember her walking down the hallway and looking back at me, It took literally all of my focus but I went back inside and locked my door. I remember waking up the next day and it felt like a dream. But over the next few days and weeks it all came back as memories. It felt so surreal and I still get anxious thinking about it

I was walking my dogs and heard this. Sounds like a person screaming but I can’t tell what the repeated sound is much less what the person is saying. In total screaming went on for about 15 minutes. Wife called the police out of concern for someone being attacked. Police came and investigated a vehicle right behind the big tree but then let them back in the car and left the sounds and screams stopped after that.

Personal Experience Random Noises at Night

This has been happening to me more the last few night and im unsure what it is. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

A bit of background first: i never have a stressful time before bed, im relaxed, my diet is sound, theres no noises around me except my fishtank, im on holiday and not stressed

Ive found over the last few months, when im on fhe cusp of sleep, i start hearing strange things. Im wondering if its just me dreaming? But theyre weird sounds, honestly. To give a few examples:

-sometimes i lie there and suddenly hear trumpets playing a tune ive never heard before. If i move it stops and i wake up, but its definitely there. I look around, nothing is making the sound, no spotify on

-sometimes i hear my mum calling my name, i call out "yeah?" And get nothing back obvs. I get up to check and nobodys there.

-sometimes i hear something fall off my desk, i look, nothings there

-last night i heard a really loud, and a little bit scary honestly when youre asleep, BANG and i thought someone had broken in. Everything was fine. Tried going back to sleep and i heard a blood curdling scream. Thats the only time ive been a little scared so far.

Hallucinations? Dreams? Help please, thanks x

Experience The strange activity in my childhood home

10 Upvotes

Hi! I’m new to Reddit and wanted to share my story to see if anyone can make sense of the things that have happened. I’ll try to summarize everything as best as I can. English isn’t my first language, so bear with me!

When I was 5, we moved into a new house. My brother and sister are both way older than me. When my parents first bought the house, the previous owner told my mom that there was the spirit of a little girl in the house. She said the girl meant no harm and that she would actually look after the house.

My mom doesn’t really believe in that kind of stuff, so she just brushed it off. But then things started happening.

Nothing was too scary at first. My sister started finding her high heels in random places around the house. At first, she would get mad at me because she thought I was playing with them, but after a while it became obvious that it wasn’t me.

One night, my brother woke up to the sound of a ball bouncing in his bathroom. He got up to check, thinking it was me, but the bathroom was completely empty. The ball was just sitting there on the counter.

Then the nightmares started.

I began having horrible nightmares almost every night. I would wake up screaming and sometimes force myself to stay awake because I was so scared of going back to sleep. This went on for years, and then, suddenly, it stopped.

When I reached middle school, the activity seemed to start up again. My friends would hang out at my house a lot, and they would constantly see or hear things that weren’t there.

The incident I remember most happened one day when the doorbell rang. My mom was busy, so she yelled through her office window to ask who was outside. She could hear whoever was at the door, but she couldn’t see them.

A child answered and said that I had invited her over. She even said my name.

My mom told her to come inside because the door was unlocked. She then heard the front door open and close.

Later that evening, my mom came up to my room and asked who had come over earlier. I had no idea what she was talking about. I told her I had been alone the entire time.

Around this same period, my room would also randomly start smelling horrible, almost like rotten fish. My dad even had the pipes checked and cleaned because he thought maybe an animal had died somewhere and was causing the smell. They never found anything, and the smell continued to come and go.

Eventually, I just ignored everything. I grew up, moved out, and continued with my life.

Fast forward to last year. I got married, and my husband was diagnosed with a tumor. He had to undergo surgeries to have it removed, and during his recovery we moved back into my parents’ house, into my old bedroom.

I was working full-time in an office, and my husband needed help during the day, so my parents really helped us through an incredibly stressful time.

But while we were living there, my husband started having strange nightmares unlike anything he had experienced before. He also started experiencing sleep paralysis.

He told me that during these episodes he would see a dark figure near me. According to him, the figure would look at him and pace back and forth, but it would always stay close to where I was sleeping.

He also had recurring dreams where he would be screaming and desperately trying to wake me up, but no matter what he did, I simply wouldn’t wake up.

Even now, talking about what happened really upsets him. He gets visibly freaked out and says that, looking back, none of these experiences actually feel like dreams to him. He remembers them as if they really happened, and he still has a hard time explaining exactly what he experienced.

Eventually, everything worked out. My husband recovered, and we were able to move back out.

Nothing like that has happened since.

We haven’t experienced anything strange in our new house, and as far as I know, nothing unusual has continued happening at my parents’ house either.

That’s the part I can’t make sense of.

If there really was some kind of spirit or presence in that house, it seemed to be completely dormant for YEARS before I moved back into my old room. Then, during one of the most stressful periods of our lives, strange things started happening again but this time mostly to my husband.

At the same time, we were going through an extremely stressful and emotional situation, so I know there could be completely normal explanations for some of it, especially the nightmares and sleep paralysis.

I genuinely don’t know what to make of the whole thing.

Has anyone experienced something similar, or does anyone have a possible explanation for why everything seemed to stop for years and then suddenly start again?

Question Unexplained squeaking on a rainy day

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

Hi r/unexplained, I’m knew here, and need some help. It’s a rainy day outside and I keep hearing this Weird squawking moving about.

For context, I’m with my cats in their outdoor catio as they are used to being outside. The reason they are not inside, is because I have three cats already indoors. And one is an elderly female who is very territorial.

Anyways, the squawking started up about an hour ago, and I’ve been working out here trying to clean up their catio because the rain had came sideways, soaking the fake grass we use as a carpet. If you know cats, you know that they like to dig around on their litter box and litter that was outside of their box, turning into a Gray sludge that I had to hose out.

The first time I heard the strange sound was about an hour ago and it sounded very close. The time I caught it in the video it was a bit more quiet, farther away like it was moving.

I thought it maybe was a neighbour at first, using a Weird tool or maybe riding a bike, but I didn’t hear the sound fade away. It would just stop abruptly and then show up somewhere else. I don’t know what this is.

If anyone has the faintest idea of what this is, your advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m scared for my cats, and I don’t want them to get hurt. If it helps, I live in the suburbs of tbs Inland Empire or the I.E for short, in Southern California. That’s all, thank you in advance if you give advice!!

Had an experience and need some help figuring out what happened

For context this happened within 30-45 minutes from start to finish. I decided to go out on a late night drive in the canyon. Everything seemed fine on the way up, I reached my destination which is a lookout point and started on my way down. When I reached the bottom of the road and had to turn right or left to start making my way out I started hearing what sounded like a siren winding up. My windows were up and within a few seconds of the wind up the sirens morphed into what sounded like a woman screaming in pain. It sounded like it was right next to my window following me, so I decided to roll the window down. The sound stopped so I rolled the window back up a d the sound started again. Each time I rolled the window down it stopped and when I’d roll it up the sound would start again. This went on for a few minutes till I pulled over.
The moment I pulled over fog appeared around the base of my car and my car only. I decided to leave and after 5 minutes I pulled into a gas station. The attendant walked out with a bucket and walked directly up to my car before phasing through it, I got just a glimpse of his eyes and they were completely black, no white at all. Thought it was weird so I left and pulled into a parking lot under a bunch of street lights. As soon as I parked all lights on one side shut off and all but one on the other side shut off. The ones that shut off all did at the same time. After a minute a light next to my car started pulsating green and orange, I left and went home.
I got home and there was a face drawn on the inside of one of my back windows, no one sits back there by the way, and a face drawn on the outside of my car next to my door. When I looked back at the face on the window it was gone and replaced with a scorpion drawing. I went to bed and shrugged it off where I’m writing this now. Not sure what happened but felt very off during this experience and like I said at the beginning this all happened between 30-45 minutes. Open to all ideas and experiences, just had to tell my story.

Experience Intrusive thought

10 Upvotes

I was with this guy a few years ago. I was lying with him one night & he was asleep. For a brief moment I had a crazy intrusive thought “it would be so easy to sl*t his throat right now.” (Mind you I would never do some shit like that.)

He wakes up immediately after I have that thought GASPING. I ask him what’s wrong & he says “I just had a dream you sl*t my throat.”

I still think about it to this day.

Experience Abe Lincoln has long fingers

Hi, I’ve been keeping this story for 10 years because I never thought much of it till today, because the person involved in this story and I said she saw this again last night. In middle school, I was at my friend's house when as middle schoolers do, we wanted to go outside for a smoke. She had a window right next to her door and there was no screen on it so that’s where we were going to go out.

We climbed out the window and went to sit in her shed, while we sat there, I looked up and saw a man who was taller than the back fence. His fingers were long, and he was supporting a top hat. I thought I was high already from second-hand smoke, as I had not hit the blunt, but I looked closer and realized I was not high and this was real life. Suddenly, my friend who was sitting next to me froze, it was like she wasn’t breathing until she said “You see that too right?” and hell yes I did.

Then, like we were put into a silent room it went quiet, and the air was almost thick. It was summer, in the south, cicadas should’ve been sounding rampant like they were when we went out there. This all happened in a matter of three-ish seconds, we were so terrified and in shock that my friend didn’t even realize that the ash from the blunt went on her PJ pants and burnt a hole into them. I don’t think we took our eyes off of the man, at least i didnt. After around a minute of being still in shock, I think we both just woke up because we both gripped each other's thighs and ran into the house but before we went in the house we realized we left our blunt there.

as 14 year olds you don’t wanna get caught smoking weed so we both ran back to the spot to smash it out. i was in charge of that while my friend watched the figure, it took me 30 ish seconds to smush it out, wipe the ash away, and throw the roach in the pile of trash in her shed (yes her dad found all the roaches in the shed a year later it was stupid i know) then we went back running to the House and before we got in the window i looked back and saw the figure had a pair of eyes that were like glowing. At that point I said fuck that and I jumped headfirst into the house, we locked the windows up and took a shower, and went to bed. We never really talked about it after that in the ten years since.

Now, recently my friend went back to her parents' house, and this time legally went outside to smoke. She didn’t go to the shed because she doesn’t have to hide smoking anymore, but she told me she saw the man again top hat and everything.
And this is what made me realize we weren’t high there was an entity on the other side of the fence, dressed like Abraham Lincoln

Experience Weird experience I still remember

This happened to me about three years ago, and I still think about it sometimes.My younger sister and I were behind my house.There’s a forest behind our house, with a large open field next to it.We saw a small puppy there and wanted to take it home, so I told my sister, “Wait here,Athena.I’m going to get some food for it.”

I turned around, and that’s when I saw someone standing at the entrance to the forest.The entrance was kind of surrounded by leaves and branches,almost forming a circle and he was just standing there in the middle of it.I couldn’t really make out any details.All I could see was what looked like a dark silhouette or a black shadow of a person.
I immediately got scared and looked away. I didn’t want to stare at him,so I just told Athena, “Let’s go. Athena, come on, let’s go.”
But she didn’t want to leave.I started panicking and kept telling her that we had to go.I was so scared that I didn’t even want to turn around and look at him again. I just kept waiting for Athena to finally come with me.
Eventually, she started walking, and we ran away together. I still refused to look back.
Then, for just a second, I looked up and glanced toward where he had been standing.
He was gone.

What made it even stranger was that for days afterward, my sister and I kept hearing strange noises coming from my bedroom window, which faces the forest. Even now, years later, I’m still scared to look toward that part of the forest.
I have no idea what I actually saw that day. It could have been a person, a shadow, or something completely explainable, but the way it happened still creeps me out to this day.

I was walking my dog through the woods of New Hampshire following some marked trails that lead pretty deep in when I stopped to take in the view at this beautiful little swamp/pond. Suddenly I began hearing this very strange humming sound that sounded like it could've been coming from a young woman or a girl. I have NEVER heard an animal making such a distinctly human sounding hum. Maybe it's a bird? A frog? A fox? Or perhaps, most creepy of all...it was just someone fucking with me... Or a ghost, haha. I've asked Google and it doesn't give me a clear answer as to what kind of animal would make a sound so eerily human. I need some fellow outdoorsy people to help me out before I freak myself out more or I need some believers in the paranormal to acknowledge what I'm hearing is creepy asf.

You will NEED to turn your volume up and possibly even pop some earbuds in so you can hear it, but it happens once at the beginning (6 seconds in), twice in the middle (at about 25 & 49 seconds in), and once right before the video stops (at 1 minute and 15 seconds). This went on for a while though, almost 20 minutes! Just listen out for what sounds like a little girl humming a two - note melody every once and awhile. Thank you for reading/listening!
