Scary Stories For A Cold, Lonely, And Bitter Night

I lived in the mountains my whole childhood and when I was 12 I was friends with these sisters that lived one called AAC over the roads were separated by a patch of trees and I would walk through them to go to play with them and one day my dad and I were invited to a barbecue at their house that evening me and the sisters and their friends we were jumping on the Trampoline in the backyard when the younger sister started acting weird when I asked she said that she was seeing something on the far side

of the next door neighbor's fence every time that she jumped one by one we all tried it and we all could see well something at first we dismissed it as the neighbor's big fluffy dog we went inside to tell the neighbor that his dog might have gotten out and went upstairs To the sister's room but while up there they started telling us about a skeletal figure that would enter their room at night and watch them the younger sister told us about one time she threw a pillow at it and it hit the figure and about

how they think that it gets up there by climbing the gutter pipe next to their window we all went quiet because we were scared of course when we heard like a clicking outside the window that clearly Sounded like metal of course we all dashed out of the door and downstairs to the adults because we were thoroughly freaked out I had my dad carry me home because I was too scared to look into the dark woods but even then I I didn't fully believe them until they moved away a week later and I saw the thing

myself it was late evening and I was heading inside after playing in the woods when I saw it peeking at me from Behind a tree it looked like a a skeleton except a sharper with spiky protrusions around its joints and it had red pin prick lights in its Hollow eye sockets I pretended that I didn't see it and I just hurried inside that night I woke up to something scratching at the wall under my window in fact I would wake up multiple times a week to the scratching it was like something was trying to get

my attention so I would Look outside and exactly what spot I was hearing the scratching coming from was tall enough for an adult human to reach their arms up at and this entity it was adult hum sized for sure I never did look I was too scared but the scratching happened for years until I moved out of that house and that wasn't the only time that I saw the thing in the woods but I never saw it again after I moved so it must consist there or Whatever I don't tell this story a lot because

people always dismiss it as just a deer but that would have had to have been one consistent deer scratching at my wall three to four times a week for at least 3 years straight which to me that just does doesn't that [Music] up for some context I live about 30 minutes out of the city in a wooded area closest neighbors are about 2 to 3 miles down the road and this could have very Well been a human which is a lot more scary to me to be honest but I'm really not so sure I thought

that I would share this here as it very much felt paranormal and made my hair stand up so last night I was woken up by my dog crying at the back door I look at the time and it's about 3:30 in the morning I think to myself that's weird as he never needs to be let out at this time I get up and turn on the porch lights and let him Out he was hesitant to go out when I opened the door which was also weird for him but I watch as he runs over to

The Back Fence and starts barking this wasn't his normal bark too he basically sounded like Kujo alarmed as I've never seen him that distressed I open the door and call out to him to come back inside this was when I hear it whistling but it sounded like someone whistling a song I don't see anything at This point but still freaked out because well I'm not sure who the heck would be out at my property at this time let alone at all really I'm desperately trying to get him to come in but but he's fixated on

whatever he's barking at I run to the kitchen to grab his treats hoping to bribe him inside I come back to the door and I hear someone or something barking back at my dog but in a high-pitched voice in fact it sounded like when a Human barks like a dog if that makes sense I look towards where the noise is coming from and can barely make out what looked like I don't know glowing eyes staring out from the forest the whistling starts again for a moment from that direction too and as soon as I shook

his treats and called out to him I hear a very loud and deep growl not from my dog definitely not from my dog it didn't sound human either but that noise sounded like a very mad Very large animal or something like that my dog comes running in through the door straight past me and his treats right into his crate I slammed the door behind him and lock it brought him into the room with me and barricade Us in there till daylight now I could reason that the growling could be a bear or maybe a mountain

lion but what was the whistling in The humanlike Barking I'm really not sure what it was But it was enough to scare my dog to the point where he was trembling and panting he's a German shepherd and he's a big Brave boy most of the time in fact I've never really seen him that upset I'll admit too that I am terrified and hope that whatever that was never happens again I will admit too that I am terrified and hope that whatever that was never happens again when I was around 8 years old I Went on

a weekend camping trip with a big group of people mostly boys around my age and their dads I woke up in the middle of the night because I had to pee so I crawled out of the tent without waking anyone up our tents were in a big clearing so I walked over to the tree line to find a spot but that's when I noticed something weird all of a sudden the forest went well quiet I remember noticing specifically that I couldn't even hear the leaves Crunching underneath my feet anymore even though I could feel them

as I walked and a moment later I walked up on some sort of spirit that looked like a man in robes standing on top of a stump he had a glowing light around him and his facial features were blurred like there was a haze around his face weirdly I wasn't scared at all and we talked and stayed there together for a while when I finally walked out of the tree line back to the camp one of the chaperon Immediately ran up to me saying that they had been looking for me for a long time hours

in fact and asking where I had been for so long I was confused by that because that conversation felt like all of like 10 15 minutes I told him that I had to use the bathroom and met an angel in the woods he just kind of dismissed it and he sent me back to my tent to this day too I wish so badly that I could remember what we talked about but I have Noidea idea all I do remember is meeting him as a kid I didn't think twice about it and continued my camping trip

like nothing even happened it wasn't until I was older looking back on the experience that I realized just how strange it all was has anyone ever had something happen to them like this and if you have what was it it was 2007 and I was 13 the new Smackdown 5 Raw WWE game had just come out and I went into my small town on a Sunday morning to purchase it after purchasing the game I was in awe of the cover and the synopsis on the back of the game so I sat on a bench to

read it and take in the excitement of buying this new game I lived in a small Market town in England so Sundays were often very quiet while sitting on the Ben bench I looked over to the bus stop across the road and noticed a strange looking scraggly man walking towards me I was a bit nervous seeing this Because although I was 13 or 14 I looked about maybe 11 as I was very small on his approach he asked me what's that you're holding I explained it was my new game I then said uh look I

need to go to my brother he's waiting for me in the mall although he wasn't I felt like I needed to say this just to get away as I walked off the man began to follow me asking my name my age I replied Lee which was a fake name and told him a fake age on entering the mall I started walking quicker and quicker but I didn't want to start running as to for some reason I wanted to say face I guess but he kept asking if I had a girlfriend and as he got closer

I noticed he had a scar down his face and also lots of jewelry on to his question I responded Yes as I thought it may put him off if he knew that I had a girlfriend I then ran into a shop in the mall and started flicking through the Magazines but he persisted with the questions I then got up the courage to run run as fast as I could but he began to chase me eventually I got away and when I got home I didn't tell my parents and I just went upstairs and played my

game but later that day I told told my mom and she called the police immediately I then had to go to a police station local to myself and tell them what happened and pick him out of a number of photos that police had on a Laptop and when I found him apparently this man had kidnapped and done many terrible things to many young boys and I was just lucky enough to have escaped him [Music] so my house has for as long as I can remember at least had major levels of Paranormal Activity here it's an

old farmhouse that's been passed through about four generations of my family and there have been plenty of deaths on the Property too it was built around 1880 and while it's not got a particularly bloody past it definitely has its stories my grandma died in what would later become my Nursery my great-grandfather fell out of the ha Loft back in the 1920s they found an old unmarked grave left from the Civil War that got left behind in the 70s etc etc activity is as common as a house fly around here really Cabinets and Doors Open and

shut things get moved Footsteps in the hall when nobody else's home figures in doorways we hear a voice in the old grain silo sometimes which is impossible possible because if someone was in there that they'd suffocate none of it feels or acts malicious so I guess we're just used to it and sort of take it on the chin for the most part I'm so used to it in fact that I completely ignored someone trying to break into my back door last night Because I just thought that it was the normal activity I was in my

brother's room fiddling with his PC for some stuff and I heard weird knocking sounds from outside the house knocking is sort of normal here but it's usually inside but in the end I just went ahead and ignored it this went on for about 3 to 4 minutes before my dog started growling really loudly so loudly in fact that I could hear him from across the House he really doesn't growl at anything besides the basement door so I thought that that was a bit weird and I went to go and Cal him down in the living

room I heard the back door in the kitchen shaking and yelled stop it you're going to break the handle because that's just the sort of thing that we say when something is getting particularly rough and maybe 30 seconds later I hear the door swing open and without really thinking about it I Yelled I'm pretty sure I told you to knock it off and I didn't realize anything was actually wrong until a voice that I didn't recognize cursed super loud and the door slam shut of course I immediately ran and to see what it was just

in time to see a silver truck peeling out of my driveway so yeah essentially just a warning not to get too comfortable with your haunted housemates because it might turn out that it wasn't them after all Making the [Music] noise this story takes place in a very remote wooded area in Northern Sweden at the time I was about 15 years old so my and my cousin's family were staying in our summer cabin the cabin is placed on a hill and at the bottom of this hill there's a lake with a wooden bridge and two boats

the property is surrounded by a Dense forest so the only thing that you could really see when looking at the window is the hill leading down to the lake and boats it was maybe 9:00 p.m. when me my dad my sister my three cousins and their dad decided to light a fire down by the lake my grandparents aunt and mom decided not to go because it was getting late we just wanted to look out at the lake stargaze a bit and chat we brought our grandparents dog and our cousin's Dog out with us we walked

down to the lake lit the fire and we started talking after about maybe an hour the conversation had sort of fizzled out a bit but it was nice and quiet and suddenly I started feeling a bit off and and just couldn't shake the feeling of being watched from the woods we were sitting with our backs facing the woods and the cabin the feeling was unsettling but I tried thinking about other things when from Out of nowhere my dad just says yeah I'm good everyone turned to look at my dad in confusion since there was no

conversation taking place dad looks back at the cabin and then at my cousin who was sitting next to him and said yeah I'm doing good what she responded confused you asked me how I was doing so I answered dad said I didn't ask you anything my cousin said dad looked confused and then said that he had felt someone lean over and whisper in his ear Hello how are you he described feeling whatever it was breathe on his neck and put a hand on his shoulder he thought that it was my mom at first and turned

around but didn't see anything so assumed it was someone here but right after explaining this the two dogs that were with us started growling loudly while looking behind where my dad was sitting towards the woods we all freaked out put out the fire and we started running towards the Cabin and yeah we haven't gone outside the cabin when dark ever since then and it's a Memory that I'll never forget whatever it was was nice enough I suppose to ask how dad was doing so I don't think it had bad intentions but if anyone has any

idea as to what this could have been then please do comment because I would love to know the only thing that I can think of is Swedish nature Spirits called vitra that play tricks on people but according to Some people can burn down buildings as well or capture people if they're bothering them in other words they aren't really known for being nice so I don't know [Music] this happened when I was around 15 to 16 years old my best friend and some of my classmates they smoked a bit like 10 to 11:00 p.m. at night

before my best friend and I split together from the rest of the guys to go and get some Munch at a gas station behind the gas station there was a lake with some benches where we chilled with some joints and enjoyed our hamburgers and suddenly we saw this guy or maybe a better word is being from the other side of the lake like 500 M away pacing back and forth at the shore kind of staring at us or eyeballing us like we'd kill his mom or something he was very erratic pacing back and forth and

eyeballing us like I Said when all of a sudden this guy dives into the lake and starts swimming toward us keep in mind this is in Norway and it was between November and December and it was abs absolutely freezing outside like our fingers hurt from holding the joint sort of cold while this guy was swimming toward us we see him doing the butterfly swim method but this guy is swimming so quickly like a medium fast-paced jogging speed Almost while we're seeing this guy we were just sort of WTF to each other like what is this

guy doing and he keeps getting closer and closer we start to freak out a bit and he was around 100 m away when we just ran for our lives like running as if there was a lunatic out there and we were in danger and after like 30 to 40 minutes of running we just split off and we ran home now this story had me thinking for quite some time that I don't know maybe we were just high but We all saw the same thing which seems very unlikely you my friend and I talked about this

today and it was really so Eerie to talk about this with him when everyone else that I talk to it just sounds like a crazy guy but we have no idea what it was I mean it looked like a person and well humanoid at least but the ability to swim so quickly across 500 M like that in like 0 to 3° C water is just kind of [Music] Impossible I'm one of those those people as far as I know anyway who has never had a single paranormal encounter whenever I tell this story to people though

they always believe otherwise so I was very small definitely not older than 7 years at the max I was playing in my backyard as usual during the day and there's this concrete wall that separates our property from my neighbors who happens to be my uncle the wall was like broken down on one part And you could easily go through it to my uncle side but you'd have to walk through almost half a mile of weeds and Tall Grass to get there I knew that there were rats and some trash there too so I just never

really went back there though I did play near the wall quite a lot now one day I was doing just that while my mom talked to my grandparents in the kitchen I couldn't see them but they could see me and were're close Enough to here anyway I was near the broken part of the wall when this other little girl appears out of nowhere on the other side she was super friendly and looked a little older than me I guess I remember her vividly wearing oversized bright blue jean overalls and a pretty straw hat I remember

describing her to my mama's farmer clothes and it made sense since this happened to be in summer she looked like a Sarah K illustration from the clothes but she Was very pale had freckles and straight kind of shoulder length but maybe longer is hair I guess I have no recollection of what we talked about or what we played but that's what we did for like several minutes she told me her name was Margarita she was really fun to be around but I remember feeling weird about the fact that she wouldn't ever come to my side

of the backyard yet was very insistent that I went to where she was of course I Wouldn't because of the rats in the trash and that I was very certain I wasn't allowed to go there too I remember though explaining this to her and her looking sort of disappointed that I should ask my mom first now this next part I remember very well she insisted that my mom would be okay with it that there's nothing bad like rats behind the wall and that I shouldn't be afraid mind you she didn't seem angry about my objections

she just seemed sort Of annoyed that I wouldn't just trust her that made me feel very self-conscious enough to say that I'd go but I still should tell my mom first anyway I don't remember her reaction to that but I thought that you would be happy that I said yes in the end so I run back inside and explain to my mom the situation she's understandably weirded out since that wall is not connected to the street or anything and the only Other girls who would go there beside me didn't fit the description at all my

cousin was 2 years younger and not at all like the girl that I described the other neighbors were too far away and their kids didn't look anything like that either but I remember she paused and starts talking in a way kid me ass sure that she thinks that I'm playing but I assure her slightly offended that Margarita wasn't imaginary so we go outside so that we Can meet her I run back outside so I get there first and the whole thing couldn't have taken any longer than a minute but I don't see her anymore of

course I start calling out to her thinking that she must be behind the wall shy Maybe my mom then begins talking like one does to a kid's imaginary friend she's talking at nothing I'm annoyed as heck at this point even writing this I am because I know that I didn't make her Up I started looking around for her but my mom was growing impatient and she didn't like that I was about to go behind the wall because I'm not allowed to which annoyed me more because I knew that but now it looked like I didn't

I expected her to come back the next day but after that I never saw Margarita again which I can see is probably one of the reasons why my mom thought that I made her up it's more of a grandma name than A kids I suppose anyway my mom surely noticed that I was expecting to see her again so she acted like Margarita was there already I felt like I had an imaginary friend forced upon me and I was still sad and angry and I couldn't prove I was saying the truth but I guess I was

just too little and easy to influence so I too kind of made myself believe that I had an imaginary friend named Margarita just that now that she was Imaginary she wasn't the girl that I saw because I did and instead a big butterfly like that one butterfly Pokémon that I liked I knew that she was imaginary unlike the mil unlike the real margarita that I met that day and felt a bit silly playing with her but it also felt nice and comfortable so I had Margarita the Pokémon ripoff butterfly in my mind for a couple

of years but I never did forget about the Real one and the feelings of my mom not believing me again every time I told this story it was around the topic of my mom not believing me but everyone always acted spooked by it over the years I started to feel a bit spooked myself too I'll admit but who knows maybe I'm still too easy to influence and I just don't know if it was real or [Music] not being of Middle Eastern descent and Growing up later in western Canada I remember faintly when we lived for

a time in Saudi Arabia when my dad was a contracted architectural engineer for a large American weapons company where he designed and built foreign employee offices living quarters and buildings for the the testing compounds in the harsh sorty desert with other Engineers from across the Middle East and Europe the company that he worked for was none other than Ron a well-known Merchant of death that had dealings with the Amir of the land who were swimming in black oil and luxury and with the deao government at the time I remember meeting some of them too who

were rather Pleasant and came with toys and candies for me and my siblings whenever they would come to our house to socialize and make their plans with my father little did I know my father would tell me years later in the comforter of our Vancouver apartment of course that these men in Their Immaculate onepiece suits were quite ruthless businessmen with killers and spies in their employee we had hosted men who were cousins uncles and brothers to the sorty Royals they had toppled governments and raised up armies and militias and even terrorist groups all across the

Middle East and Africa my dad had one colleague that could build a bomb from common items in your fridge and under your sink that could level a building and that he Learned this from intelligence agencies that will remain unnamed I was about 6 years old when we left for Canada in the early '90s but I remember our time there an old brick bungalow house we had lived in a large accommodation with a Sandy yard it was a a sparse neighborhood there were other houses but not close enough to be in each other's business or he

your neighbor noises most of the people living in this Area were in the employee of the royal family in some capacity they were well off educated and well connected there were several empty houses around as well that I would sometimes roam around and explore if I found the opportunity to escape the confines of our home that is now I had heard of the Gin early on from my mother as warnings against bad behavior or when she wanted to scare me With images of Beastly ghouls she would say that they appeared in many forms as Shadows

humanoid Chimera like beings with hooved feet and Tails as transparent ghosts or as invisible unseen forces even she said that they could also appear as humans and that they were great mimics they could lure you into places with the voices of people that you knew she would also say that they liked waiting until you slept as they could enter your dreams for Unknown reasons many times she would also ascribe any possibly paranormal or odd goings on to the Gin for example if one heard unexplained noises from an empty room or even if objects were lost

thoroughly looked for then later found an area searched several times well that was them playing their tricks she would often say a prayer against them and or curse them either in the singular shatan or in the plural Shatin my mother would alert me against going to the abandoned or empty houses for she warned War me that these are the places that the Gin would occupy waiting for Wayward souls to attach to and torture my father being a rather pragmatic man told me to never mind her stories to just go and explore but to be careful

of strangers and not to be gone for too long now she told me that once when I was 3 years old I was sleeping in my Room at night and she had caused to check up on me after being washed over with a forboding feeling a creepy Sensation that she needed to see that I was okay upon entering my room she said that there was a black shadow in the corner near my bed that she saw it clearly for a split second and not only saw but also felt and she flipped the light switch on

and it just dematerialized instantly being scared for her child she Spent several nights in my room with me before she brought a holy man to cleanse the space and say some prayers after which she said that there were not any more occurrences of Shadows looming over her children and she seemed satisfied with that I don't recall ever seeing any moving Shadows or ghouls in that part of my life but there was something later in my late teens several occurrences of well what I can term as Shadow People Appearing we had moved to British Columbia by

this time were awarded citizenship for some years I was finishing high school well adjusted lots of friends at school and even in the building that we lived in my two brothers and sister were friends with all the other kids and teens who also lived in our building and the neighboring Apartments as well this was in the early 2000s before kids had cell phones or even spend time on computers Really we were always doing something outside in groups having fun and just causing a ruckus in fact I don't even think a day was spent inside if

we could help it we didn't need money or reason to to just roam about at the very least and more often than not we had our regular haunts and Meetup spots I remember one particular night though I was maybe 17 or perhaps 18 Where I had an experience that was quite jarring and was also shared with my brother so I had been sleeping and woke up paralyzed unable to move or speak but to my horror there was sitting in this chair beside my bed a shadow man with red eyes his energy was malevolent and contemptuous

he didn't speak just sat there and even though I couldn't see a mouth I knew that he was grinning I could sort of see the outline of it he Was definitely a man but just made of shadow that my eyes couldn't see through he was watching me struggle to break my paralysis for what felt like 5 or 6 minutes obviously I was terrified and couldn't keep a straight thought in my head but I was trying to somehow run away even though it was impossible I remember making muing noises and moaning trying to scream but everything

was paralyzed even though my mouth was a gape and I couldn't shut it I still Couldn't scream I couldn't do anything but try to scream and it was just coming out as muffled noises in that moment I could feel that this Shadow being was deriving pleasure from my anguish he was just sitting there about 4T away from me as clear as anything else in the dark room room just staring at me with those red eyes then all of a sudden he stood up belched out an evil chuckle and zipped away in the direction of my

brother's Room down the hall he flew in an alarming speed weirdly too I could see two Trails of red light as his eyes left along with the shadow body at which point I snapped out of my paralysis as soon as he left my room the paralysis it broke all I could focus on was his laugh before he left and honestly I I thought that it was over that this thing zipped away out of the apartment back to well wherever it is that it came from at that I got out of bed and went to the

kitchen to get a drink of water I was shaken up I'll admit but I was convinced that this was just a weird Vivid dream of some sort it did feel real as normal as life in fact as real as talking to another person and I mean I definitely seemed to be awake I wasn't sleeping but while I stood there slowly drinking my cold water I heard the same muffled screams that I was making coming from somewhere down the hall it was Coming from the last room my middle brother's room I walked over there and listened

by his door and yes he was making noises so I opened his door and I froze as I saw a portion of the air on top of him was dark darker than the already dark room room it was like a cloud was sort of hanging over him and he looked sort of paralyzed like I was and he was moaning exactly like I was too I can only describe it as sort of silently Screaming but I ran over and shook him awake it took a few seconds but I shook him hard and eventually he came too

he looked at me with eyes wide in fear and said that there was a shadow man with red eyes laughing at him while he made him Frozen he said that woke up paralyzed as this shadow man came into the room and this thing was standing above him the whole time laughing and just watching him struggle honestly I could barely believe It I told him that it just happened to me too and that I heard him from the kitchen I told him how it left my room and went in the direction of his room after it

let me go and both of us had trouble sleeping that night it was the most real experience that I've ever had this was the first time any paralysis happened to him as well and the first time anything like this event had ever happened he wasn't into any paranormal Stuff and it was a shock to him that things like this could even happen he never took my mother's story seriously I suppose he was always just as level-headed and grounded as my father unlike me I did have an interest in these things and UFOs ghosts and the

such but I also remember this as a a shocking first time it was sort of an assault on my reality even if I was open-minded to the Paranormal in any case we told our mom About it the next day and she immediately blamed a Jin she was reminded of the time that she saw a shadowy presence in my room back in Saudi Arabia we couldn't stop her from praying in our rooms and lighting her incense to clear the bad air and it must have worked as is well I never felt that presence return but it

certainly wasn't the last time that I saw a shadow being it was Never as blatant and in your face as the first time but it happened many times more I've told this story to many people and shared it online even and have never heard of a case where the shadow being attacked two people consecutively so was this just a case of sleep paralysis hallucinations but how did me and my brother share this delusion if that's truly what it was to this day we still talk about it I Had many other sleep paralysis encounters with Shadow

beings but never like that first time never as malevolent and never again shared with another person in fact I get sleep paralyses quite often now even had it last night but I haven't had a shadow being during these times in 20 years or more I guess I've just become used to it now waking up able to move and I've learned to keep calm until it passes which it always does in a minute or So there were many other times I've seen the shadow people during waking hours fleetingly in the peripherals of my vision darting by

as have others I know other times I've seen them when entering a dark room before turning a light on after which they always disappear I guess I just got used to them I suppose they seemed fairly harmless and eventually I just stopped noticing them I figured after some time in study that they most likely being Jinn would just sort of living their lives and that the veil that separates our lives from theirs can become thin rendering them somewhat visible or let their presence be felt reading about Jin as much as I could I have learned

that they have lives like we do they have children apparently judies can be good and tolerant or well downright mean some are interested in pranks some can grant bounds and some can possess you Even but I have read that possessions are exceedingly rare I've even read that they have religions they can believe in God being shape shifters their most common form is a shadow in the shape of a human but perhaps that's also the most common way that our minds can grasp them maybe our eyes can only catch them in a certain visual frequency or

something they have their favorite dwellings but can appear anywhere which Means that they're not locked in a location in ways that ghosts or Spirits can be one night when I was maybe 19 or 20 I had an encounter on the Blue Line train in Los Angeles that still haunts me to this day so I was waitressing in downtown Long Beach and worked the closing shift I was on the trainer around midnight heading towards Los Angeles it was just me and one other man on the train I had my headset on minding My own business and

he was sitting in front of me with his hood up everything was fine too until we need Watts California the man he got up walked to the train doors and as they opened he turned back to look at me and that was when I saw it he had no face no features no eyes no lips no mouth just pure Blackness under the hood he walked off the train and I felt like my heart almost fell out of my body 20 years later I'm still trying to Figure out what I saw that day has anyone else

experienced anything like this or do you have any ideas as to what this could have been this happened about 2 hours ago so I a 26-year-old female and my boyfriend 36 and male decided to go to the store to get some oil but we have to go out 45 minutes just to get this out in a bad part of the city but it's the only European store that has the actual stuff that I grew up with eating my family and I are from the Ukraine but live in the US and it's difficult finding authentic places

that have exactly what we had and this is the only place that I found that has it down to the exact brand anyway as we're driving we're on a three-lane road which we need to get into one of those midsection uturn type of lanes we get into our left turn lane and a black car blitzes from the far right lane through the Middle Lane to cut us off at the left lane which my Boyfriend and I are like what the heck and then they stop at the green light for the U-turn my boyfriend gently honks

twice in a nice way in case they were on the phone to go since the light is now green they go forward and we go to the parking lot directly on our ride to the store that we need to go to the car in front of us which was now on our far left lane goes through another two lanes and drives onto the sidewalk to go into the Parking lot that we were going into and rides nearly on our bumper pressing their horn the entire time that we drove my boyfriend eventually decided to stop a

few feet further than the store instead of parking at it and at that point I realized that his car camera was not on I can't remember the name in English but it's a camera that records in front and back as you drive I tap it since usually it starts recording when it feels motion it didn't Turn on and we realized that it somehow was disconnected on the car as he's trying to get the camera plugged back into the car the black car pulls up and I see three guys looking 18 to 20 in there all

three are African-American they roll their window down and the driver then reaches for something about to take out something and I'm screaming at my boyfriend just drive go just go and my boyfriend slammed onto the gas pedal when we drove Off and that black car does too my boyfriend suddenly began doing donuts in the parking lot to get their car to back off well I'm screaming oh my goodness the police call the police I need to call the police and managed to dial 911 as he was doing his last donut and then suddenly began began

driving out of the parking lot the black car was still chasing us out as I finally got an answer and when the police asked where we were I sort of Blanked out and stuttered in panic that we were currently being chased and my boyfriend yelled out what road we were passing he used to do Uber for like 7 years and he knows every street name by heart pretty much the guys though they kept going after us until we were about 3 or four blocks away from the police station we stayed on the line and they

probably realized what we were doing and swerve to a random road on our left at some point we got disconnected but the Officer called me right back and stayed with us as we pulled into the station we explained what happened and the officer was nice he offered to escort us back to the store following our car in case the guys were still there we showed the skid marks and the officer said nice there's a bit of a joke it was all good in the end and he did paperwork as we grabbed the sunflower oil that

I wanted and had my boyfriend try authentic Slavic ice cream For the first time which he agrees is 100% better than the American stuff and we decided to cut our day short thank the officer and we went home my boyfriend said that he was amazed at how quickly I made all the right decisions and was actually surprised I even called the police because he's aware that I have a history of being well Ed by two on juty officers four years ago and I've been too terrified to call or speak to to Officers since then but

I was so terrified of getting shot that my only priority was to call the police in the end I was so terrified that my chest hurt and I was happy that we were safe my boyfriend is now laughing saying that he can now prove front-wheel Dodge cars can do great Donuts but I genuinely hope that I don't run into those three guys ever again this happened quite a few years ago but I can still remember it like it was Yesterday this wasn't a ghost that I saw maybe out of the corner of my eye for

a split second or from some super far away place I saw it up close and personal for a Solid 5 to 6 seconds which when you're seeing a ghost seems like an eternity so I was laying on my couch at night when all of a sudden I see a spectral figure made of blue light emerg from around the corner of my hallway and start walking toward me he was made of light but he was also sort of Transparent as well so I could see through him he couldn't have been more than 10 to 15 ft

away from me I was completely flawed perplexed amazed shocked all at the same time he was in such great detail that I could tell what type of clothing he was even wearing some type of military garment and that he was young an Asian male in his 20s he had a stoic somber look on his face almost sad I would say as he walked toward me he left a trail of undulating Blue light behind him that kind of waved up and down this lasted for a solid five or six seconds the entire time my eyes are

completely wide open and I can feel my heartbeat start to increase and as quickly as he came he then vanished Into Thin Air as he got closer to me I have never seen anything like it before in my life and I seriously doubt that I ever will see anything like it ever again I told my family about it and they said oh you've always had a vivid Imagination but it was like no I know what I saw there's no way what I saw wasn't real I've never believed in ghosts before thinking that anyone who does

has to be certified crazy but after that night I truly believe in ghosts and some sort of after life for some weird reason I didn't feel scared when I saw him or even after the dominant feeling that I had was just pure amazement and bewilderment to what I had just Witnessed everyone always says that if or when you see a ghost that it is scary but that wasn't the case with me at all so am I crazy has anyone ever seen anything similar if you have then please do share your thoughts because truly I could

use it right now I was born in Amherst Ohio April 7th 1984 when I lived in Lorraine Ohio in the late 80s I lived in this two-story house it was old and there's just some things that are in that house that Always left me puzzled and in a bit of a total mystery I guess I'm now 40 I've talked about my experiences with other people but all I get back is snickering made fun of or laughed at off as being unbelievable I've talked about this part of my life the same way and nothing ever changes

my story behind our house my mother and father created this huge beautiful garden and between the ages of around 3 To 5 years old my parents would throw some weekend cookouts my dad would invite his work or drinking buddies over and Mom would invite her people as well the floor model stereo would be out to play in the background dad would be socializing with his people the grill is grilling my light blue kitty pool would be filled up with water a front yard would be out of parking spaces the driveway was spoken for so the

rest would just have to park their cars in The backyard where we were now one weekend I decided to walk around the house by myself for some reason I I had no reason for doing so but I was just walking I found myself in the front yard alone so I decided to continue journeying around the house into a full complete circle when I had done that I came to a shocking Discovery though everything and everyone was suddenly gone I mean the pool the stereo people Cars even the garden was gone what was once a garden

was nothing but a bed of grass now but here's the weird thing I can still hear everyone yes I was awake I wasn't dreaming I wasn't just seeing things in dreams when talking about dreams you only know about 5% of the dream and it's all over the place when telling it right but in this case I remember everything the way that I've explained It here is the way that I've explained it for almost 40 years now as well ever since I've always been convinced that I've found what seemed like like a portal and so I

kept doing it it was the same result every single time everything was gone sometimes I often wonder what would have happened to me if I had just kept walking circles around the house without stopping would I have happened to become a missing person's case or someone Erased from memory alog together I've recently gone back to that house in Ohio since moving away in the late' 80s I was excited to show My Wife and Kids the first house that I lived in my I was also excited about the thought of actually getting some answers and putting

to bed this mystery but When approaching the house all we arrived to was an empty lot I felt sad sort of ticked off and Beyond Disappointed all that I have what seems to be made up stories but still I live with this mystery and that's why I'm here I would really like to try and get some answers as to what this was and I'm really hoping that someone somewhere has had something similar happen to them or has an answer or at least some thoughts all are welcome to comment because like I said I am completely

[Music] Perplexed this happened to me and my friend G when I was on my third year of high school after the co pandemic and lockdown me and G live in the same city it's really not that big and we had this place that we enjoyed hanging out because there was no one around there no drunk dudes no annoying babies and crazy parents only a very few people and the calming sound of the grass it's near the biggest park we have here so the trail isn't that hidden Anyway we used to go there during the summer

but it was around November and it was kind of cold out and we were shaking a bit but we just wanted to be alone and I guess the creepy atmosphere was sort of intriguing we had only one incident the last time that we went there which I think I'll share here in the future at some point but he was skipping about going there but I was a sort of talkative person too so it wasn't hard To convince him that day and I kid you not that a few minutes after we entered the trail somebody's Shadow

began to block the only way out this was kind of scary because I mean it was Pitch Black 10:40 p.m. and it was Winter and my phone's light was the only sufficient thing that we had for seeing the silhouette I think it was a man definitely not long hair but I don't know how tall and I'm not completely sure it was a Man even though I flashed him with my flashlight from my phone I still couldn't see the colors of his clothes or body or anything it was just too dark out and my phone wasn't

strong enough and it had a lightless background not even the Moonlight was out that night nor the flame of a lighter that he used could change that as well it was completely black and he was devoid of color except for the sort of sub cattering high of that little flame in My light he didn't move at all except when he took the lighter from what I assume was a pocket on him I was terrified G was terrified and was grabbing my right arm as if his life depended on it but no matter how much we

were shaking or panicking that man didn't move he stood still on the trail without making any type of sound so I started saying out loud how lucky we were to have brought our knives with us this day in case we would have found Something dangerous at one point me and G discussed about calling our parents to take us from there and that we would have to elaborate a story so that they wouldn't be concerned but as I turned to watch my phone G said that we still needed the light on the guy to keep an

eye on him so I immediately raised it in the direction of that man and I was shocked G was frantically tapping my arm saying he's not there we need to go and it was true in those few seconds he was out of our vision now which of course drove us crazy and prompted us to run faster and faster in the direction from where the street lights would illuminate everything making us feel safer eventually we got out of the trail but I could have sworn that I heard someone following us of course I stayed with G

for the rest of the evening until We arrived at his house complex I felt really guilty about getting him to go there that night and so I accompanied G back home and it definitely made me feel a little bit better but I don't know maybe it was nothing and maybe I'm just overthinking it maybe the other person was a scared of us as we were of them but something tells me that whoever that person was that they were up to no good and we just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong

time So I have a series of like short stories from when I lived in Utah years ago these stories they take place in the time period from 2003 to 2014 I originally come from Utah but haven't lived there in years and have lived all over the United States since then so I've lived in lots of places where they have their own histories hauntings and interesting stories so here's the first ones well chronologically speaking Anyway so in 2003 my then stepdad who was and is abusive controlling and treated my mother and my siblings and I horribly

began escalating his behavior I noticed a pattern that as he got worse strange things would happen around the house like family members and I would hear disembodied voices throughout the house a strange presence would be felt at some times and then not at others and most notably we would see shadow figures running around the house These were not tall humanoid figures that you typically think of when you think of shadow figures these were deformed almost animal or alien in nature and moved extremely fast and had an almost impish quality to them we would occasionally hear

a man's voice in the house calling our names too but we left that house and moved to a different neighborhood north of Salt Lake City in Bountiful Utah after settling into our new home in Bountiful in August of 2004 other members of the family began noticing strange things too footsteps would be heard in the hallways late at night my mother would be working in her office at her computer and occasionally hear footsteps and one night she felt something touch her back even she turned around and there was obviously nobody there later my brother saw an

apparition of a young girl wearing white standing at the end of the hallway Thinking that it may have been one of my sisters she went to go and check to see if everything was all right and the girl just disappeared and my mom saw that both of my sisters were both still sound asleep in their bedrooms after doing some research into the history of the house we learned that a young girl had passed away from leukemia in that same house a number of years prior her bedroom it had been the same room that was my

mom's office and The old photo of the girl who passed away matched the appearance of The Apparition that my mother saw at the end of the hallway that night in 2006 as the behavior of my then stepdad began to become even more abusive so too did the odd occurrences in the home our family dog would frequently panic and bark or howl at nothing in the air especially when in the basement the paranormal events culminated in a few members of the family not me though seeing about a Dozen entities semi-translucent in appearance and of ghastly appearance

as well surrounding the former stepdad while he was sitting in his chair one evening in October of that year around the same time the apparitions were seen our family dog tragically died by being attacked by a pack of wild animals either raccoons or coyotes in the middle of the night 2007 and 2008 they were pretty quiet years for the most part and in 2009 the year opens pretty uneventfully but activity starts ramping up big time in the spring and early summer my brother's birthday in June of 2009 I lived at my grandparents house with my

family and I was in the front yard waiting for the rest of the family to come out to the car to go for the birthday outings about maybe 300 yard away I see a young woman wearing what looked like 1980s punk clothing and her blonde hair In kind of a a side ponytail walking casually down the street and screaming for help her voice didn't sound normal though it sounded much farther away than a mere 300 yards and it also sounded kind of I don't know like dreamy almost fair enough it wasn't a neighborhood with lots

of houses and trees and it was on a hill so the Acoustics weren't what sold it for me but I immediately went inside and told everyone that there was a girl crying For help down the street we got in the car and drove up and down the streets looking for her keep in mind too that it was Midday everyone else was still at work or school this was literally a few days before summer vacation so unless she was a resident which she wasn't it was a small neighborhood where everybody knew everyone and she didn't look

familiar at all and it was unlikely that she could have just disappeared or gone somewhere Before we reached her I later learned that a young lady matching her description died of a drug overdose in the 1980s in that very neighborhood that same month in 2009 my family and I went to a cinema to see monsters vers aliens which had come out in March of that year and were still playing in the theaters in June while my brother and I are watching the movie in our seats my Mom leaves with my sister To go to the

restroom and they come back sort of shaken and terrified what happened I asked after the movie my mom and sisters then tell me that my mom had been picked up and thrown out of her shoes by an unseen Force while walking down the hall apparently when she got off the ground she was 5 ft from where her shoes were and they were still standing upright in the spot where she had been standing when she Fell obviously I wasn't there to confirm this but still with how shaken up they actually were I do believe that something

happened for the years 2010 to 2011 I didn't live in Utah but had experiences elsewhere 2012 was relatively tame and had little in the way of notable Supernatural experiences in 2013 I didn't live in Utah but had multiple experiences while living in Tennessee and then the next Utah stories are in April I was staying for a few weeks with my grandparents and my family and grandparents had gone out one day they were having a fun day outing and doing some shopping or something this is in the same neighborhood as the story from 2009 by the

way but knowing in our family history that Grandma's house had some strange activity the previous owner of the house had actually been murdered we all knew that there was something off About the house well on one particular day the vibe was particularly off I was home alone chilling out and in no mood for ghosts and I felt like there was a I don't know just a very unwelcome and wrong presence in the house I had a short temper that day and told them to get lost and leave me the heck alone and called them a

series of horrible insults I sat down to play guitar and Unwind a bit and then from like 30-ish feet away down the hallway I heard a woman moaning coming from my Grandma's room I was home alone and after hearing this noise my blood just ran cold and I froze uh hello I'm met managed to choke the word out in as stoic and friendly of a voice as I could muster but there was no response to keep myself from soiling my pants and running out of the house I ended up just sort of scoffing and told

Myself ah it's probably just the Cat my Grandma had a tabby cat named ly at the time who was one of my best friends she later passed away in August of that year due to old age but I had never before or since heard her cat or any cat make a noise like that it was a human noise I had an experience a few months back that I still can't shake as well as other interactions maybe it was a dream but I woke up to my husband yelling my name From downstairs I yelled back what

and he asked are you going to work I reached for my phone and it was 1:20 in the morning that was when I looked over and my husband was sleeping and snoring next to me around February in my room putting clothes away so fully awake this time I heard my husband call my name from downstairs and I yelled back and said my name again I searched the downstairs After he wouldn't respond but there was no sign of him I looked outside and I also saw that his vehicle was gone now recently I was sitting on

the couch with my son on my lap husband sleeping on the other couch one dog on my left another one at my feet when I heard a p noise to call my cat on my left both dogs perk up and look towards it my husband is still sleeping on my right I woke him up and ask if he heard it mostly for Comfort I suppose but I Asked my son if he heard it too but both say no after that though I did go through each room in the house and repeated that you are not

welcome here please get out so far all has been okay but I'm still unsure of what I might have been dealing with and I'm not sure that it's gone too when my grandfather was young he help his father with his line of work and he often worked in the woods whether it be helping cut down trees or Gathering wood that's usually where he was this particular day they went to this secluded town when they got there my grandfather wanted to go and explore the woods a little bit while his father worked he was warned not

to go wandering off too deep into these Woods because they were known to be a bit dangerous however that's exactly what he did he ended up getting really lost because he wanted on off too far in and he stumbled upon a body of water now This is where it gets a bit weird and when he told me what occurred here I could see the absolute fear in his eyes he told me that a creature one that was tall and dark walked out of the swamp he said that it resembled a woman and had very long

hair covering much of her distorted face she also had a very dark complexion whatever it was it walked out of the swamp and gripped his neck and started to choke him then it started to drag him into the water and drown him he Was freaking out obviously and begging for it to let him go and eventually either it did or he sort of slipped out by the time that it let him go he was hysterical though crying and screaming it was also nearing dark and somehow his father found him but was confused why his son

was so wet when they went back to town he explained to the couple who were working with his father father what occurred and they said that they know of that Creature apparently a lot of people end up wandering far into those woods and end up dying they die because that thing apparently drowns them and my grandfather was very lucky that he was spared now I know that this story might be a little bit difficult to believe but that's fine I mean I believe it because of the look in my grandfather's eyes who you could see

fear in he's also a very hon honest man and I've never known him to be a Liar this all occurred in Morocco back in the' 60s in the northern part of the [Music] country back when I was a kid my family and I lived in a pretty old house in Tennessee the house was built in the 1920s I believe it was kind of shaped in a square think of a racetrack that you can go around my sister and I's bedroom door was in the living room and the hallway was to the left I used to

have reoccurring Nightmares and sleep paralysis of a tall man with a hat coming down the hallway to my bedroom and I would always wake up before he came into my room textbook sleep ralis a story I know but during summer my mom would leave me and my three siblings home alone while she worked she would come home tired and since Shoki had a lot of kids she didn't like us to immediately Stampede her when she arrived home so one day we're all sort of chilling in the living room Watching TV while our mom was at

work we were just doing the usual we heard our mom get home from work early that day and we were pretty happy about that we heard the back door open and she came in talking to her friend on her Bluetooth she always wore these black leather boots and we heard them sort of clunking on the floor while she walked and talked towards us when she was finally almost to the living room she was at the end of the hallway where I told you guys Earlier where I used to see the shadow man in my dreams

and you can probably guess that when we got up to greet her in that spot she wasn't there well we were all pretty stunned by that at the time my sister immediately called her and you can probably guess again that she was still at work I didn't tell my brother about the shadowman before but when I did he said that he had seen him too in the bathroom Which was in the same hallway my mother also told me once that she used to hear my little brother calling her name when he wasn't even home honestly

I really hated that [Music] house I'm sharing this because well I need to get it out I've lived quietly with these experiences for like 8 years now I'm 25 and I've had time to unpack what I believe I compartmentalized during a Rough period of my life so I moved into this complex when I was 17 almost 18 I often disagreed with my godmother who I lived with at the time and so my best friend Sarah suggested that I move in with her family in their three-bedroom apartment it was by no means spacious but in my

young mind it was leaps better than the homophobia I was living with currently Sarah's unit was one of the bigger and nicer ones and I was already Familiar with the complex as her mother was assistant to the complex manager we often spent the night in empty Apartments neighboring hers the empty units were already spooky to me as a teen but even then I chalked it up to just the Eerie Vibe of a room with no Furnishings now there were a few things that were strange one of the apartments had a doorbell that would ring at

random times of the day and night despite the doorbell system for the complex being Broken and eventually even disabled but that certainly could be chalked up to faulty wiring so whatever right the other empty unit was more transient people moved in and out frequently so we spent less time in that unit although I do have many fond memories of sleepovers there when we did stay in that unit though we were never able to get the family dog to come in she would just stand in the doorway shaking although it was creepy in my Mind she

was just being a nervous dog and I mean Labs can be weird like that anyway when I moved in I didn't realize how odd it was at first not for at least uh maybe about 4 months I was too caught up in the excitement of living with my best friend I turned 18 and we spent most of our time out of the complex anyway either at college or with friends the time that I did spend at home it was always Lively full of good food and smells and incense I loved It the first time I

think I noticed something strange I didn't really think too much of it at all banging came from the wall of the unit next to us and I remembered complaining to Sarah that they were being awfully noisy it was mid-afternoon though and seeing as how it was new noises I figured that someone had moved into the unit the banging would continue through the week but when it got too loud Sarah and I would bang back and it would always quieten down it Would always stay quiet long enough to no longer be on the Forefront of our

minds as we assume that the neighbor got our message I worked as a weekend in Holiday receptionist at the time so that I could continue my schooling without stress and for Thanksgiving Sarah and her family chose to visit extended family I was working so I ended up staying home and I had no apprehension about this whatsoever in fact I was sort of looking Forward to it I love alone time as I Am Naturally a bit of an introverted person anyway I have no issue being home alone especially not when I had a dog and a

cat to keep me company too that day I went to work came home did my schoolwork ordered pizza and eventually I went to bed when I woke up it was to the cat yelling and hissing I had left the lamp on in our room but outside the window was pretty dark so I knew it was still early Morning I didn't check what time it was and honestly as a dumb teenager it didn't even occur to me to grab a weapon or assume somebody might have broken in all I heard was the cat freaking out and

then I realized the dog too low growling and snarling I wasn't scared at first just sort of confused then I ran at the hallway to face the living room and suddenly the head was Raising on my arms the cat was Arched yelling staring at the dog the dog had her ears back fur raised hunched as she growled at the corner of the living room the way our unit was set up the walls of the living room faced two areas the empty hallway connecting all the apartments and two windows that face the balcony I was sure

that there was no one out there because I had left all the lights on and could see clearly out onto the porch watch I told the dog to come And see but she wouldn't even look at me I asked her what was wrong and she barked I tried to touch her calm her down but she just growled even louder at that honestly it freaked me out and being home alone as a young teenage woman I did the stupid maybe smart I guess decision to go back to bed and act like nothing had even happened I

left all the lights on after that and then the next morning I felt comfortable enough to just laugh about it with Sarah On the phone she agreed that it was strange but we didn't have much else to say about it really so the unit across from us had two tenants move in during the time that I lived there the first woman I didn't know she would talk to Sarah's mother though so through them I learned that she had been suffering horribly from sleep paralysis it was an off-hand comment she made one day and honestly I

didn't really think too much about it Then the next tenant moved in she had closer relations to Sarah and her younger sister after a few months of living there she quickly moved out though experiencing boyfriend troubles not before mentioning to Sarah though that she had been experiencing sleep paralysis too in the same back room with a reoccurring nightmare she described as knowing something was behind the door but being frozen and unable to Look this is normal for sleep paralysis obviously but the way that it was the same room and the way that the tenants had

never known of each other or talked even it was very strange and at this point I had lived in this complex long enough to start to feel a little bit uneasy I guess I was grateful that we only ever slept in the living room for all of those sleepovers but the nail in the coffin to This particular unit happened about a month or so later you see Sarah and I were looking to move out we wanted our own space and we were debating on the unit across from us at $800 in 2016 utilities paid it

was pretty much unbeatable Sarah though more spiritual than I was brought over a family friend who claimed to be sensitive one day to test the place out Sarah never once mentioned the last tenants accounts to her and the woman she made two very Disturbing comments in that unit she she called the living room a Vortex of depression her words upon entering and in the back bedroom where both tenants had stayed she claimed that she was unable to look at the entity behind the door sharing this even now still gives me chills because how did she

know that I am the first to call hoax or scam to Spooky accounts science and the human brain can do weird things but this was just downright chilling In the end we didn't move into that unit now finally one hot summer day I was home with Sarah's younger sister watching TV there was a knock at the front door to the complex so I went out into the Hall to greet a man and an official uniform and badge he introduced himself as a detective asked if Sarah's mother was around I said no and asked if I

should take a message he said that he was investigating a reopen Cold Case from the80s where a woman had been Strangled in a unit here the unit right next to our touching walls with our bedroom apparently the killer had hopped the border to Canada and now that he was back in the US they were hoping to get him I relayed the message later and then asked who lived in that unit now the banging on the walls it never stopped and I could hear movement in that unit I swear to it but Sarah's mom insisted that

there was no tenant I had no way of knowing this at The time but the articles that came out later revealed that a woman had been taken hostage in her apartment hog tied with clothing and then strangled her killer hopped the Canadian border and was caught killing another couple which means that for over 10 months I had been sleeping just mere meters from The Echoes of a horrific murder scene I hated that complex I moved out about 3 months later with nothing much Of note happening but when I think back on it I wonder about

the area the Cold Case of the strangled woman the complex was right next to a bridge which was so notorious for people jumping off that they installed a security fence 2 years after I moved out the only time I ever lived in that area again it was a a rental house directly across the bridge I had horrible night terrors there and moved out about 9 months later due to an abusive Relationship I've never felt any urge to go back to that complex and when I spend too much time thinking about it I always get a

bit nauseous even halfway through sharing this my hands are shaking I've never experienced anything paranormal ever again and honestly I I really don't want to either I don't want to believe ghosts but whenever I go to proudly boast that the memory of that complex literally haunts me and always Makes me swallow my own words this happened about 25 years ago but I still think about it on a regular basis at the time my two boys were around 6 and 8 years old and this happened in a small town about 20 M from Skinwalker Ranch in

the U Basin Utah having grown up there I had more than a few personal experiences that still give me chills but this event was beyond anything that I've experienced Before or even heard about my two boys slept in a bunk bed in a room just across the hall from my room I was fast asleep one night when I was suddenly woken up by by the most intense and terrifying screams from my boys screaming and crying out for me I jumped out of bed obviously grabbed my pistol from the top of my dresser and threw open

my door now how do I say this there in front of me running out of My son's bedroom was a a 2 to 3ot bright green creature I have no idea what it was but it looked at me as it exited their room and shot down the hallway made a quick turn and shot down my basement stairs keep in mind all of the lights were off but this thing stood out bright green in color with black patches on its face and body I only got a quick look at it but what my kids would tell

me absolutely terrified Me I ran into their room and flipped on the light there they were both of them standing in the middle of the room holding pillows they were crying and screaming so hard that I couldn't understand what they were saying my wife came in and began to calm them down while I went looking for whatever just ran down to my basement I searched everywhere every corner every knock and cranny but in the end I found Nothing I went back upstairs and asked my boys what had happened without going into great detail here what

they told me was horrifying my youngest son told me that he woke up and noticed something green hunched over standing in the doorway just looking at him he wasn't sure what it was so he sat up and when he did this thing started grinning at him with big teeth causing him to let out a scream waking up my older son while my younger Son was telling me what he had seen my older son spoke up and said it looked like Darth Maul but green if this sounds unfamiliar Darth Maul is a a Star Wars character

look him up and you'll get an idea as to what this thing looked like just imagine a short hunched over Darth Maul basically now I guess out of fear my youngest son grabbed his pillow and started hitting this thing which had now moved into the room closer to them he Then tells me that it grabbed a hold of his pillow and started growling at him this caused my older son to start screaming as well and within seconds he joined in with his pillow hitting it over and over again until it suddenly let go of the

pillow turned and started back towards the bedroom door I think it must have heard me open my door or something because this is about when I saw it and like I said I didn't get the best look at it but it Was bright green with black patches and it moved extremely quickly like way faster than any human can move this event had a profound impact on my youngest son because from this point forward he would only sleep with his head covered which always worried me I had to sleep in their room for the next week

or two before they would even go to sleep without me in fact and only with a lamp on in the room as well now sounds hard to believe I get it Had I not seen it myself I would have thought that they were imagining things seeing as absolutely believing but was it a demon a ghost an alien or something else entirely I honestly don't have a clue but I know that it wasn't human we never did see anything again like that after that but even today they still draw very similar pictures of what they saw

that night and well they don't like to talk about it with me their Descriptions they've never changed I had an experience with something very similar when I must have been about 8 years old and I sometimes wonder if it was the same thing what I can tell you is that this is absolutely real a 100% true event and the first time that I've ever shared it with anyone outside of my family I obviously don't expect pretty much anyone to believe it but what I'm telling you is that it is all true [Music] True when I

was an angsty teenager I moved in with my mother and stepdad to escape a well less than desirable situation because of the move I was enrolled in a new school this school was located in one of the sketchiest neighborhoods in the city everyone who resided in that area was relatively low income my family included we had a rec center near the school that was a hot spot for uh let's call them undesirables which was primarily teenage Boys wandering over from the nearby High School to cat call the girls lunchtime was my favorite I loved going

outside for cow and having sweaty teenage boys ask for the nasty anyway during my time at my terrible school I made an array of friends however there was one person who became my best friend her name was Blondie she and I got along like um well what's a a negative Connotation I was a people pleaser I guess and she took advantage of that Blondie was nice enough I suppose but she was problematic regardless we were fast friends and thus began our very short-lived friendship over the school year she mainly came over to my house since

I was an only child we usually had the house to ourselves while my folks were at work however she finally invited me to Her house around the middle of the school year I was super excited I'd always wanted to meet her family since they were all such an enigma Blondy wasn't one to divulge information about her home life all I knew was that she lived with her mother stepdad and younger sibling I'm unsure if she was embarrassed or didn't care to share but I finally had the honor of meeting them honestly too her family was

amazing they were kind and treated me really well not To mention her stepdad was a phenomenal cook the best spaghetti and meatballs I'd ever had after that I started going to her house more and more and you know what I really enjoyed it but fast forward to a month or two before the end of the school year and it's blond's birthday her family was throwing a little get together at their house and I was invited Blondie and I we headed to her House after school and it was a really fun time until near the end

of the day now I knew next to nothing about her biological father at this point I knew that he wasn't really in the picture he'd sometimes drop by and say hello but I had never personally met him that was until he had made a surprise visit to give Blondie a present when I tell you knew that there was a shift in the atmosphere I canot stress just how much This was the fact I could immediately feel it and I mean I was a dumb kid we were inside the living room eating some cake and there

was a knock at the front door L's mom answered and her face which once had a nice smile suddenly turned into a scowl if looks could kill man that dude would be dead she moved aside though and this man walked in I'll never forget how everyone in the room got tense except for blondie who excitedly greeted her dad at the Time he seemed like a normal-ish dude I suppose maybe a tad bit on the creepier side but I mean who am I to judge Blondie introduced me to her father and we shared some pleasantries at

one point I was invited to get some ice cream with them the following day which I accepted I mean I was getting free ice cream of course I was going to say yes he eventually left and we all got back to eating cake I had honestly Forgotten about the visceral reaction everyone had upon seeing him who knows too maybe if I had remembered I would have said no anyway the following day rolled around and I went for ice cream with Blondie and her dad I cannot remember much from that day other than him asking me

if I had a boyfriend or a girlfriend which which seems innocent enough I suppose but the way he asked it made me feel a bit Weird I honestly cannot remember much from any of the other encounters with this man nothing really jumps out to me I know that I went out with him and Blondie a few more times before my family moved to another city and we lost touch fast forward a few years and I'm attending college I had managed to stay in contact with one person from my middle school days her name was Teddy

she had reached out to me one day asking if I wanted to go and see a movie which I happily accepted I was pretty deep into the big sad at that time and I needed to pick me up a film with an old friend was just what I needed I thought I took the train to a nearby mall and Teddy and I watched the movie after we headed to the food court and we got some cow we were catching up it had been a couple of years since we last saw each other when Teddy suddenly

perked up she asked me if I heard about blond's father to which I said that we hadn't Been in contact since I had moved Teddy's face lit up and she told me the most mind-blowing story my little brain had ever heard she informed me that Blondie's father had murdered a woman apparently now before I continue she was going based on Word of Mouth while she was telling me all of the details Teddy had no news articles or police reports to back her story up she was told by a friend who heard from someone else apparently

and so on and so forth but What she told me in the end wasn't actually far from the truth according to her Blondie's father had taken the life of a street worker he got away with it for 2 years and his truck got him caught apparently there was something unique about it Teddy couldn't tell me much more because she genuinely didn't know I remember going back to my dorm and trying to Google for more details but I couldn't find anything about it I eventually forgot about the story until Last year and I was discussing the

craziest stories from my life with a friend when I suddenly remember Teddy's story after some digging too I finally found an article that described the crime I clicked on it and when I saw the picture of the man well words cannot describe what I felt everything Teddy had told me was true but it was so much worse than what she and I thought out of respect for the victim And her family I won't describe what he did but he was arrested 3 years after he had taken her life I can't find any information about how

he was caught but it had something to do with his truck he was charged with manslaughter he took a plea bargain and indignity to a body and only served s years of his 14-year sentence he had served half already because he was in custody during the trial I looked him up again not too long Ago and I learned some unsettling information which prompted me to share this here he was released from prison a few months ago and guess what he did he killed another woman from what I've heard it had similarities to the other murder

he committed this time around he's charged with second deegree murder and indignity to a body here there's unfortunately still not a lot of information about the second woman but Both of his victims were mothers they both were cruy taken from this world and I still cannot wrap my mind around all of this I mean I met this monster I was best friends with his daughter I don't think I was personally in any danger but the fact that met someone capable of such heinous crimes it honestly scares me I can't even begin to imagine just how

Blondie must have felt after Learning of her father's crimes anyway I apologize for being a bit vague regarding the crimes but again I don't want to disrespect these people I know some of you really want to know everything but it just didn't feel right to share their story especially since it had little to do with me you I mean I was just the schmuck that was friends with the daughter also I would like to provide more information about how blond he is but I cannot remember her last Name for the life of me she doesn't

share the same one as her dad so I really have no way of finding her or contacting her but regardless if you've made it this far then thanks for listening [Music] when I was still ni highish my grandmother Tilly and I used to go on yearly road trips either across our own country or the one next to ours we live relatively close to the Border well on This particular occasion we decided to travel across our neighboring country let's call my home country a and the neighboring country B my grandmother had a friend in the more

yeor part of the country B that she hadn't seen in a minute and after some planning they figured out the best time for the two of us us to make our trip I was really excited when my grandmother first told me about the trip I had no idea where we were going but the idea of Going on a road trip with Graham Graham was really exciting I fast forward a few months and we finally hop in the car and head off on our merry way the trip would take about a week and my grandmother wanted

to see all the neat stuff along the way but traveling with a child such as myself required a lot of pit stops as well I wasn't necessarily A bad traveling companion but I just had a small bladder at the time anyway we were On the last stretch of the trip when my grandmother had to pull into a gas station to fill up we were practically Running on Fumes at this point and I really had to go to the bathroom we pulled into this middle of nowhere gas station and after my grandmother had filled up the

car we hurried inside so I could empty my bladder and the moment that we walked inside all the alarm bells in my tiny brain suddenly went off I had no idea why I was feeling the Way I was up until I set eyes on the clerk now I'm not usually one to judge a person by how they present themselves but old boy what I'll be calling him from here on out look like he walked straight out of a serial killer documentary currently we're Smackdown in the center of yeor territory in the middle of nowhere and

this man looks like he should be selling you high-end cars not working in a rundown gas station old boy was giving me all kinds Of bad vibes I really don't know how to explain it other than that as well but worse still he was already smiling a little too widely when he spotted my grandmother she was petite blonde and beautiful granted I'm a bit biased but she is my grandma however when he saw me you could have sworn he was looking at a Sunday dinner somehow his already very wide grin only grew remembering it even

to this day Gives me the heie jeebies thankfully Graham Graham could sense a disturbance in the force and shielded me from this predatory gaze she paid for the gas and asked for the key to the washroom which he took his sweet time getting she walked with me to the bathroom which was disgusting by the way and I quickly did my business and we returned the key with great reluctance but here is where things got progressively Worse when we were piling back into the car all boy closed down the shop and got into his car it

doesn't seem too weird right sure he was super creepy but he hasn't done anything to it yet now technically we had 2 days left on the trip my grandma would drive an increments for hours on the road and our or off to explore fill up Etc then we'd find an inn or a motel and we'd spend the night we traveled about maybe 8 hours a Day before turning in for the night and well when we left the gas station old boy followed us for I kid you not the rest of the entire trip at first

we just assumed that he was heading in our general direction it was just the one road after all but after the third turn off off and old boy was still tailing us my grandmother finally realized that we were being followed this man then proceeded to follow us for and I wish I were joking 12 hours my grandmother refused to stop driving unless it was absolutely imperative for anyone wondering why she didn't just call for help or why she didn't pull into a police station or something don't worry you're not the only one to be perfectly

fair to my grandmother she didn't have a phone and despite somewhat knowing where she was it was still pretty much unknown territory she wanted to get to a Familiar surroundings so there wasn't the risk of getting lost I think and we finally made it to the city where her friend resided and that's when we pulled into a police station The Mad lad pulled up next to our car just as we headed inside the building as well and watched us I don't know what old boy was taking but he sat there while my grandma talked with

the lovely lady at the desk thankfully the cops handled the creepy man with ease but I'll never forget that Smile that never left his face while he was being escorted away needless to say that was the last time that we Road tripped to Country B and one of the last times that we actually took a road trip in general so the other day leaving my friend's house I accidentally backed into a brick mailbox my bike rack hit the mailbox so my car was okay but completely demolished the mailbox no big deal though right that's why

we have Insurance I went to the neighbor and told them what happened and gave them my insurance details phone number and name all I got was his first name but from the GetGo this dude was pretty creepy he kept hitting on me trying to date me specifically trying to feed me I left on my drive to my mom's I'm attending out of state college and parents are divorced and the guy I backed into Robert began to text me and call me he was insistent that it was Better for both of us to just pay out

of pocket for the mailbox sending me links to companies that could fix it for like $500 and demanding that I go on a date with him so I could give him the cash for the repair and he could feed me I don't know what his deal with food was but I declined everything but started to get annoyed by his constant texts and calls finally after 2 days of it with my responses only please contact my Insurance I sent him a text saying that he was harassing me at this point I blocked him but he made

a new number and threatened to report it as a hit and run to the police I'm in law school okay and this was not a hidden run I blocked the second number and then he used a new number to ask me if I wanted him to send a screenshot or a video of the accident to his insurance I admit this made me angry I Called this number and dug my nails so hard into my thigh that I drew blood as he threatened reporting things asking me on a date and trying to entice me to just

pay cash I finally screamed at him to get lost and to never contact me again my dad heard me and was upset that I said that to someone that I was in an accident with and that I said that to a guy who thought that I was cute and just wanted a date and then I block the third number next day he reaches out again to Tell me that I gave him the wrong policy number I told him that I didn't but he then said that it would be easier to pay cash that I was

the problem Etc he was talking to his insurance I guess and began trying to validate my info he had my mom's name address and phone number I verified it told him to not contact me again and blocked his new number the next morning super early I get a text basically saying that he finished the claim and I was awful for Making it harder than it needed to be by going through insurance and not going on a date with him he then included you're so beautiful and ugly at the same time don't take risks stay on

the good path goodbye at this point I got a little a bit scared because this was the fifth number that I had to block then at midnight he text me are you up I know where you live don't try and screw me over on insurance I'll report you as a hit and run you should have just gone on The date with me I took the phone to my dad showed him the text and I filled him in my dad a pretty scary dude then calls the guy he answered shoot I knew you were into me

but do you want to come over my dad got pretty mad at that he said that he was going Beyond harassment that this was his final warning to not contact me that he didn't care how he reported it Etc Robert began saying that I came on to him and offered sex's payment invited Him to my house and was horny or whatever instantly we blocked him police were contacted insurance was notified all that stuff next day I talked to insur insur protective order was filed got another text telling me that I shouldn't have involved police blocked

the seventh number notify police go to stay at my dad's place because dude doesn't have this address but my dad is a very tall and very scary dude who loves his second Amendment but late last night watching Star Wars with my dad and older brother the doorbell rings dad goes to see who it was and I kid you not it was Robert with a trap flashback filled with things that I apparently left at his house at this point I call the police my dad goes ballistic all the things police came and they arrest the guy

the bag well it was filled with lingerie a knife lip balm and a daa vontes fetish Book I just met with an attorney and plot twist the guy doesn't own the house he is actually an illegal immigrant is married and is also being deported I feel awful that he's being deported but I genuinely think that he wanted to well assault me or perhaps kill me or something I go back to school in a few days and I'm actually pretty terrified that he or someone else will follow me there [Music] I think that my house is

haunted the first instance I had was I was probably like 13 at the time we had just moved into my house and my family went out to eat but I didn't really want to since it was late and I don't like eating too late this means that it was just me in the house I was sitting down on the sofa with my cat watching a movie when out of nowhere I heard a man's voice behind me say here kitty kitty my Cat didn't seem to acknowledge it but I heard it clear as day and when

I turned around obviously nobody was anywhere to be found the second instance I probably was about the same age I had what I believed to be a trickster demon of some sort around as I would trip over seemingly nothing and hear laughter right next to me I would also place things down in my bedroom only to find them gone nowhere to be found when I went back for them Obviously my first instinct was that my siblings that they had taken them but nobody had gone into my bedroom besides me eventually I would just say could

you put my item whatever it was back here please thank you and suddenly when I would walk out of the room and walk back it would be back exactly where it was before the third instance probably about a year or two lat later so I was maybe 14 or 15 I was going to go up the Mountains behind my house for a hike but it was dry season so all the prickly bushes and such were all over the hill I turned to go back home and as I'm walking back I hear indistinct talking and then

what sounds like somebody muttering through a megaphone it sounded like they were right in front of my house definitely would have been heard from inside so I ran inside and asked my mother what all that noise was but she was like what Noise the fourth instance about 3 months ago so I'm 18 at the time my grandfather had gotten sick in another country and wasn't doing too great my mother had this weird feeling that he was lost and I had gone into the dent of my house and started pacing a little bit because I have

anxiety and that's just what helps me not to panic as I'm walking I see out of the corner of my eye somebody following me feet behind mine glimpses of a face when I turn but only ever out Of the corner of my eye never fully in sight and upon seeing that I booked it because that was just way too much now the fifth instance was about a week ago actually my mother sister and I coincidentally the only people in my house that believe in the Supernatural were standing near the fireplace talking about whether or not

my mother was going to buy my grandfather's ashes from the funeral home in another country and all of a sudden we heard a loud bang on the Wall and my mother's mailbox where she keeps letters and bills and such suddenly fell to the floor mind you that thing was nailed into the wall I mean there's absolutely no way that it could move but the only things that fell out were her checkbook a pen and a few old credit cards we all looked at each each other and I guess my grandfather really wanted her to pay

for him after all so I've just moved into this house With my husband almost a month ago nothing really started happening that caused any concern for either of us until recently this past week that is to start on Monday I heard what sounded like light tapping against the wall and what I think was meowing logically speaking I thought maybe it was just the cold that caused the tapping and that the meowing came from outside on the shed next to the house that is until I actually thought About it you see the meowing sounded like it

was actually in our bedroom in the middle of the night mind you on Tuesday I get the most uncomfortable feeling of being watched even though I'm a and my husband is at work the feeling of even being chased up the stairs at night it was like something had hit the trash bag downstairs and then it sounded like something running up on Wednesday I woke up at night from A noise of some kind it sounded like someone was slamming the edge of a credit card or something on my bathroom counter which is just outside of my

bedroom door this continues for like 30 to 40 minutes until suddenly it just stops I peek into the hallway just to make sure that I'm not hearing things and possibly seeing things either but after that the sound of something heavy fell into the trash can and started rumaging around Again and today Thursday possibly one of the creepiest things that has happened so far and I know that I'm not going crazy so my husband and I were downstairs making breakfast and I was telling him about what had happened like last night while we were talking we

both went quiet and I looked at him as if I was terrified because it was the sound of the credit card again but this time it was in the coat closet not in the bathroom fast forward a few hours when He goes to work and the sound of somebody slamming into my downstairs bathroom takes place then came the knocking around five of them not continuous but definitely semi-frequent I've been extremely jumpy since all of this started happening and honestly I I just don't know what to do so I work pretty late most nights and sometimes

when I need something right away I have no choice but to go to this store that's the only one open late After work so I was driving home and noticed a car behind me super close with their lights really bright I thought that it was a cop at first but made a turn and no it was a small black sedan okay that's a bit weird I kept going my usual route and start noticing this car is flashing their brights behind me over and over again while following me my whole route home I know that I

didn't drop anything Because all I brought in the store were my keys and phone for pay the trunk wasn't open or anything either I was seriously getting weirded out so I made a fast turn and started going 60 on this back road that I didn't even care about cops anymore in fact I actually wanted to be pulled over at this point and well this dude was right there behind me going 60 as well still flashing his beams finally after about 10 minutes of This there were these cops in the road doing construction directing traffic when

I looked back and he turned off right away I have no idea what just happened but something tells me that whenever it was it wasn't [Music] good I've had my fair share of dealing with Creeps and Weirdos in life some encounters are not a serious but creepy nonetheless but a few years ago when I Was living in Los Angeles California I lived next door to a mortuary tons of creepy energy from here alone and right behind my house was a halfway house full of excon drug addicts alcoholics Etc the house was two stories and overlooked

my backyard they would play Loud rock music early in the mornings and some of them would sit in the window upstairs to smoke as well there was one guy in particular Though who smoked the a lot almost every other hour I would see him taking drag after drag from his cigarette watching my backyard intently he looked sort of young I guess maybe early 30s he had greasy black hair that I guess he attempted to cut and tidy up somewhat and scabs or marks all over his colorless face he also wore black thick rimmed glasses he

had a a deranged sort of psychotic energy but he wasn't Aggressive by any means hard to describe I'm not one to judge anyone in his position but the way that he would always watch my house and anyone that would come outside to the backyard it was disturbing to say the least after a while I would stop coming out back he would always be up there wild unblinking eyes watching me as I walked around he never spoke or made a sound he just sort of Watched one day day though I was watching movies with my family

in the living room the living room of that house led into the backyard there was a window behind one of our couches that face directly outside but we had the blinds and the windows open and it was a warm night and sometime in the summer I was sitting on the couch with the window directly behind me when I thought that I heard something outside but I wasn't sure for some reason I turned around to Look out the window though and there he was he was shirtless I could see scabs all over his upper torso his

eyes were wider than normal they had a sort of sick perverted look to them there was no cigarette or smoke that I could see his hands were down out of view I think he was even nodding his head a little bit but we stared at each other for a short few seconds before I abruptly closed the blinds and silently continued to watch the Movie I don't think that my family noticed this and to be honest I don't know why I didn't speak up but I had trouble sleeping that night knowing that he was still over

there luckily I don't live in that neighborhood [Music] anymore so I'm from California but me and my family lived in Atlanta for about 2 years from 15 to 17 years old the entire time living there was was well a saga within itself but I can remember One specific incident that was very unsettling when we arrived in Atlanta we stayed in a hotel for some months looking for a place to live there was this handyman who worked at the hotel he was a white man maybe in his 40s large belly wore glasses and always dressed in

the same camouflage Jack that kind of made him resemble a hunter of some sort he seemed friendly enough he would always wave and joke around with all the kids and with my parents And we were very cordial with him his friendliness started to become a bit excessive towards the end of our stay though it got to the point where he would yell up to us from outside of our window we would call back to him and laugh with him make light of the situation but it became uneasy for us when he kept doing it night

after night patrolling the parking lot at one point we just just ignored him and turned the light out as if we Weren't there but he became even more aggressive shouting to us and Shining a huge flashlight in our window whistling up to us and joking about how he knew we were still up there he had a weird sort of high-pitch laugh mixed with his southern accent that didn't sound like it was playing around it was more Sinister if anything it was sort of a sadistic in a peeee Herman kind of way hard to describe but

I can't remember everything He said specifically but there was a comment that he made about us one time that made my father very uneasy he compared him to someone on Unsolved Mysteries there were little things that he said about all the kids as well like how cute we were or something to that effect that never sat well with any of us it came to a breaking point though one day when we went downstairs to our car and saw a hangman figure drawn in The dust on the back of the window I'm mixed as are my

siblings my dad is black and my mom is mixed race we're in the middle of Atlanta Georgia the Deep South in a very awkward position we're totally new to this state I've never left the West Coast before that point in my life and this image creeped everyone in my family out we knew that he was the one who did it too my dad confronted him about it and he played it off did denied that he meant Anything by it and apologized profusely but the way that he did it was in the same weird joking manner

that he talked to us with so it was very hard to take it seriously this and the fact that this hotel was robbed at gunpoint in the same week motivated us to leave immediately I never did see this man again though we had many other insanely creepy experiences down south and after a while we ended up just coming back to California and we never looked [Music] back I have hundreds of stories from my father about paranormal encounters that he's had but he has two of them concerning what I believe to be Skin Walkers both of

these take place in the Southeast during the late 80s or '90s to begin with my dad is Native American and spent a lot of his childhood and early adulthood out in the middle of nowhere now the first one my dad was Walking around in the woods of a reservation with his friends his friends were back at the car he was walking about 50 ft away from them when he saw another native man behind a bush but he could immediately feel that something was wrong with him the guy had no clothing as far as he could

see no jewelry or makeup or anything distinguishing his hair was pulled back into a ponytail they held eye contact for a Long time he said it felt like ours but was in reality probably less than a minute and a half he was sort of temporarily Frozen with fear as well he called for his friends but none of them came he turned to face them then he looked back and the man was just gone we within seconds noiselessly no sign that there was anyone there at all to begin with the second though is definitely a lot

closer to what most people think of When they hear about Skin Walkers my dad was out in a secluded Forest when he heard a piercing scream very close by he described it as a mix of a native throat cry the sort of Aya sound sort of mixed with that feral cat or her bird sort of sound they brushed it off the first time but then they heard it a second time it was just as close as it had been before despite the moving they decided to get out of there At that point it was deafening

and about 10 seconds long he said it happened about three times as they were leaving never once sounding any farther away or any closer [Music] when I was 18 to 19 I was living on my own for the first time as a freshman in college our days consisted of going to class in the mornings then getting Chipotle then going back to the apartment and smoking weed for the rest Of the day or night it was nearly every single day that we did this actually no not even nearly that was literally exactly what we did every

single day me and my roommate his name was James had a close friend from high school who would stay with us often his name was Tyler Tyler would come over to smoke at our apartment pretty regularly since we had a safe place to do it away from his parents house where he was living at the Time one night Tyler was over and we were smoking per usual and decided to go walk around the apartment complex it wasn't late maybe 8:00 p.m. but as we were walking a pair of guys who looked to be a little

older than us approached and asked us if we had any weed James the Dullard of the group immediately said something along the lines of yeah we could get you some Tyler and I were already in the process of saying no when he said that to them as we lived in a State where you actually had to be really careful about weed next thing we know James has invited the two guys into our apartment to smoke with us and this despite our discontent remember too that we're 18 and 19 at the time high and just as

stupid as anyone could be anyway the two guys come into the apartment we smoke and the whole time they're just being sort of weird one of the guys keeps making jokes that he's an Undercover cop saying stuff like notice how I'm not inhaling all the way undercover cops can smoke weed but as long as they don't inhale then it's fine now in retrospect effect these guys were just a little older than us and were totally messing with us by saying stuff like that but it freaked Tyler and I had a lot so much so that

after the two guys left we insisted on going and hiding our bags of weed before the inevitable police raid rained down on us A quick disclaimer here I know that we were stupid for actually thinking that they were cops but we didn't know any better at the time we were paranoid and all we could think about was the possibility of getting a a weed conviction which carried a $1,000 fine and a oneyear probation well those two guys do not end up being the creepy part of the encounter you see Tyler and I in a state

of weed induced paranoia decided to go And hide our backpack full of wheed in the woods outside of the apartment complex until we could confirm that our apartment would not be raided by this point it's probably about 1:30 in the morning we set off and out Journey Into the Woods hide the weed and identify a few landmarks to ensure that we can find it again because Lord forbid we lose even an ounce of weed right we feel a lot better after hiding the evidence and set back towards the Apartment we re-enter the complex and are

walking along jov towards my unit as we're rounding the corner to my building I then hear the sound of pant legs of athletic pants sweeping together as if somebody is running no sprinting up behind us before we can even turn around we hear a deep voice yell from behind get on the ground I turn around long enough to see a masked man pointing a pistol right at us we both immediately hit the Deck as he screams at us to give him all of our money needless to say we were 18 years old and weren't exactly

carrying large amounts of cash on us but we emptied our pockets although all we had were cell phones and empty wallets he became increasingly angry and told us to get up and face away from him now this was obviously already a scary situation but this is when it got extremely terrifying for both of us just a couple of days before this two teens had been Brutally murdered in our area in the same fashion forced to face away from their killer and ultimately shot execution style In Cold Blood and they hadn't caught the guy yet it

was all either of us could think about in that moment as it was a highly publicized crime that everyone in our area had heard about I know that I'm totally outing my general location right now but I know people are going to want to know what case I'm referring to plus neither Of us live in that area anymore or even that state so look up Jeffrey Hazelwood murders online for more context but there is a happy ending to this because the guy proceeds to instruct us to walk he walks behind us all the way to

the exit of the apartment complex and as we exited we heard the sound of running again this time away from us we slowly turn around and realize that he's Gone but we were still so freaked out that we kept walking and called a friend to come and pick us up from a nearby Waffle House to this day I'm really glad that only psychologically rather than physically we were harmed by that ordeal that night oh and uh by the way we went back to the Woods first thing the next morning and picked up the backpack in

order to continue our era of Stoner [Music] degeneracy this happened about 3 years ago but I still think about it from time to time and it still creeps me out so I a 21-year-old male at the time had just moved into a new apartment on the first floor of a building it was late one night and my roommate was out when somebody knocked on the door this was not uncommon as we were in college and my roommate had friends that would come by to hang out at all hours of the Day I just figured that

it was one of his friends so I get up and I check the peole staring right back at me through through the peeple is an eyeball pressed against it though again though this is also something that one of our friends might do just to be funny I sort of chuckled and opened the door surprised to see a guy in his mid-20s that I didn't recognize he was strange as well to say the least he was very hyper almost and Immediately launched into a door-to-door Salesman type pitch I can't remember exactly what he was even selling

but it was something about the local University which I also attended at the time the whole time he was talking he kept looking past me into the apartment he was fidgeting and even standing on his tiptoes to see inside still I just thought the guy was weird and nervous and might not even be all there or whatever I politely Declined to buy anything from him but he wouldn't take no for an answer I finally had to be pretty Stern in telling him that I wasn't interested he finally accepted defeat and as I was closing the

door he put his hand out and stop the door from closing before I can be like what the heck dude he smiles at me and says I like Mario Kart on Nintendo 642 now me and my roommate had been staying up late into the night playing Mario Kart 64 in my bedroom for like the past several days before that but there was no nothing that he could see from the apartment entrance that had anything to do with Mario Kart I was taken aback by that and trying to add things up in my head and confusingly

asked how do you know I play Mario Kart he then got super nervous and said oh I just thought anyone with a couch like that would be into Mario Kart on the Nintendo 64 cuz you know it's like a Retro game and that's a retro couch I mean what the heck sort of EXP is that right then he was like oh okay bye and literally scurried away I shut the door and I locked it I start trying to put the pieces together on how he could have known that because obviously it wasn't because of my

Grandma's old couch remember too that it's a first floor apartment that backed up to the woods my roommate got home shortly after That and I immediately tell him about the encounter he was freaked out too and so we started investigating at first it seemed as if there was no way to even see inside my bedroom I mean my blinds were always down we went outside and tested it and found that the only way to see inside would have been if you had your face right up against the window and even then you kind of had

to crouch and close one eye just to get a glimpse of the Inside a couple more creepy details as well is that my window was over a balcony and the Nintendo 64 console itself was stored inside of the TV stand it wasn't even visible which means that you'd only be able to see while we were actively playing which we never did until we were a little bit stoned and it was like 2:00 a.m. so basically this creep had been jumping the railing to our balcony pressing his face against my window and Watching us play Mario

Kart in the middle of the night for who knows how long I never did see that guy again but needless to say I was pretty paranoid for a while after that I constantly checked my windows and woke up in the middle of the night paranoid that he was standing just a couple of feet away watching me sleep it was just a a very unsettling encounter I guess I'm glad that nothing more ever Really came of it and that I never saw him again but I have always wondered exactly what his motives were when I was

really little from ages 1 to 5 we lived in a small mountain town in the middle of nowhere it was the kind of town that truckers would stop out for a bite to eat the kind of town that you'd pass through on your way to somewhere else we had moved into our house shortly After I was was born and the woman who had lived there previously swore that the house was haunted I never really put pieces together until I got older I guess but the woman had apparently claimed to hear children playing and laughing in

the basement but nobody was ever there my family being skeptical didn't think too much of those claims but a couple of strange occurrences would say Otherwise so when I was about 3 I would sit in the kitchen eating my meals and in my line of sight was the hallway my mom claims that I would always stop what I was doing stare into the hallway and just point and repeatedly say horsey and then go back to eating my food like nothing had happened she always got chills when I did that apparently a story from that house

that my parents like to tell is about a Remote control car that they bought me as a gift every night when I was in bed they would put my toys away way which included putting the remote control car next to the fireplace in the living room they would sit down to watch TV and out of nowhere the car would take off on its own they always nervously put it back in its place this became a regular occurrence and at one point they got fed up with it took the batteries out of the car and the

remote they put the car back In its place and sat down to watch TV again and yet again that car took off on its own own they ended up returning the car to the shop that they had gotten it from claiming that it was faulty since I was so young I don't remember these two previous stories but there is one thing that I do clearly remember from that house as a kid I would often be playing on my own as I was an only child on a Few of these occasions clear as day I would

hear a woman's voice from right behind me she never scared me but she always stopped me in my tracks and I would sit there for a moment contemplating if I had actually heard someone speaking to me the strange thing is that she would always repeat the same thing in the same tone but it wasn't English and I could never replicate what she was saying to this day I still vaguely Remember what she sounded like this wouldn't only happen at the old house though I remember it happening in my grandmother's place on one occasion as well

but but it was always the same voice we moved when I was five and I remember it happening once after that and to this day I've never ever heard that voice again I've been on the fence about these experiences as I just cannot explain them there's probably a reasonable Explanation for some of them but as they started happening more frequently it became kind of a commonly discussed topic between me and my co-workers so for context I worked at a pet store the store was quite large and the building was decently old I was frequently put

on the closing shift which meant that it was just me and one other person for the last hour in the store the last half an hour was always closed to customers as we used that time To clean up and count the tills and all that we'd always heard little thumps around the store that sounded similar to footsteps but I always brushed that off as the ventilation and the animals in the store me and my one coworker Amy would always joke about the place being haunted things started getting less explainable though when my manager told us

one of her experiences one day we were short Staffed so it was just four of us running the store me and the other three were all up near the cash register and my manager was in her office the bathroom and the office are right next to each other and you can hear pretty clearly any conversation being held in the office from that bathroom my manager had gone into the bathroom and when she came out she came up to the cash register and asked if anyone had just been in the office Obviously we hadn't she looked

concerned though and told us that she had heard someone talking to her dog and calling his name but there had be nobody in the office at the time with him that was when things really started getting strange too not long after that we had switched to holiday hours so me and Amy had to stay in the store for an extra hour and a half alone that was fine though I mean we always had fun as barely anybody would come in so we would Honestly just chat by snacks and just hang out around the store but

one night we decided to do a little Ghost Hunt we a joke started using the Tik Tok filter which shows a person's silhouette the filter was supposed to detect somebody and turn them into a character or whatever but if you took pictures of empty spaces sometimes it would show a silhouette without anybody being in the shot we messed around with that for a little while and took some pictures Which showed two faceless people standing in the aisle in front of us it spooked us a little bit but neither of us really believe the filter a

little bit later we were in an aisle facing the Groomer's room she was messing around on her phone with the filter and I was sitting on a pallet of dog food in the aisle The Grooming Room had a glass window so you could see into the room pretty clearly out of the corner of my eye I saw a blackish gray Circular orb quickly float down from the top of the corner of The Grooming Room and disappear halfway down it was very quickened I wasn't quite sure what I had seen so I didn't mention it to

Amy you we sat there in silence for a couple of moments and she broke the Silence with did you just see that I was still skeptical so I asked her what she had seen and she said that it was some kind of gray orb I got chills and quickly got two Pieces of paper from the till and said okay I'm going to draw what I saw and you draw what you saw and we'll compare after we drew the same odd shape that that we had seen and for the rest of the night we were pretty

spooked I'm not sure if there's an explanation for that but it definitely had us both a bit scared the only other thing that happened in that store was when the power went out and we were all stuck Waiting for it to come back on with the store closed but we had quickly run out of work to do so we were all sort of hanging out with the manager goofing around when we decided to open up one of the UV lights that we had on the Shelf and look around the store for fun the flashlight didn't

have any batteries so me and the manager went back into the office to get some when we went into the office we heard a distinct banging in the ceiling which stopped us Both the power had been out for a couple of hours at that point so we didn't know what we were hearing we both stood there for a second listening to it she spoke up asking me what is that and the noise abruptly stopped we didn't hear it again after that and we grabbed the batteries and went back out into the sales floor I guess

I just wanted to share my experiences at my old job as weird as They are the activity became really quiet when Amy quit for some reason I'm not sure if it was because we were messing around and calling it out but I definitely was scared to be in that store alone from that point on the year was 1999 I was a 10-year-old kid living with my mother brothers and stepfather in a small Humble House in Santana da panea Brazil we had been living there for just over a Year for context to this day our home

in the other houses in that street stays only in one side the other side there's a big huge Atlantic Forest Reserve and there's a quarian side of it as well today there's a tall wall that separates this forest from the rest of the neighborhood but in that year this wall didn't exist yet also the street was pretty muddy but there was no ashalt at that point and that street was a bit far from the rest of the neighborhood as Well if you go down the street you'll need to walk like 200 M turn right and

take a street that will lead to the other streets or just walk straight for almost 1 kilometer in an empty empty road with no houses just trees and bushes to reach the other neighborhood if you go up that street you would find other houses but always side by side on the same side but my mom's house was the first one or the last depending on the direction of that Street so one night I was sleeping in my room along with my brothers my stepfather and Mom were in their room and they heard a loud heavy

and slow steps on the ground far away from outside the house coming probably from that empty road the sound Was Heard pretty far away but it came closer and closer one step at a time slow almost like an elephant on two legs when the sound reached the house these strange footsteps then began To climb the outside wall as there was no wall separating the house from the street at that point the steps kept the same pace and they didn't slow even when climbing that wall as if it whatever it was could walk up the wall

unaffected by gravity the house vibrated with each step and that was when I woke up I heard the last few steps on the wall and then had started walking along the slab keeping the same slow pace until whatever it was stopped at the top Of the stairs that gives access to the slab and these stairs led to what was the living room at that time to get access to the slab there was a type of door made with a wooden frame and asbestos tiles at the top of the stairs and from inside the house it

was closed with a bolt and a padlock and it was at those steps that it stopped then things started to diverge a little bit here I was listening in my bed without understanding what was going On obviously and after 3 or 4 seconds of Silence I heard a loud metallic noise rolling down the stairs almost like someone had thrown a lot of tin cans down there but my mom and my stepfather said that they heard a loud heavy thing rolling down almost like a dead body or something my mom and stepfather ran out of the

room as they thought that someone was inside the house or maybe one of us kids had fallen down the stairs or something I was in my bed scared when They entered my room and I asked what was happening they said that they didn't know after checking under my bed I couldn't help but be curious and I I went to the living room and there I saw that the access to the slab was still locked and there was no cans or body on the stairs or anything also there were no steps away from the Place after

that sound everything just went silent and the steps never went away or never seemed to move or anything my stepfather grabbed a flashlight and we got up the stairs to check everything seemed to be in place though except for our dog our dog was crying and was completely curled up stuck and motionless on its own chain outside the house that was underneath our water tank our dog seemed to be absolutely Terrified by whatever that was which was very out of character we never did see anything like this before or after that day my mother and

stepfather still live in the same house but it's renovated at this point and completely different from that time I know it's a weird story and look I know I don't have any proof or anything like that but I know what I heard if you've listened to this then thanks for listening and I hope you at Least found it interesting regardless of whether you believe it or not I want to assure you though that it's a true story and it's something that I still scratch my head [Music] about this happened about 10 years ago now my

friend Craig and I we had made some plans to go hang out with our friend Jeremy and his new girlfriend neither of us had to work the Next day so we grabbed some beers and made our way to Jeremy's Mom's apartment complex where Jeremy was temporar barely staying when we got there we went out into the woods behind the apartment complex to drink this wasn't just a little patch of trees or anything but a huge good siiz patch of Forest for context this was in the New York State and it was a nice full day

late afternoon the sun was still out we finished the beers and we decided to go Get more so we go to the store and get some more beer head back to the apartments and enter the woods this was Autumn like I said and the light outside was right at that stage where it starts to very quickly fade we underestimated how dark it would be once we were in the woods and how fast the light was fading away we planned on making a fire but we didn't really count on it being so dark when we got

back there so we're walking into This sort of clearing area from where we can choose to head off in a few different directions we're having a good time laughing talking but something not too far in the distance suddenly catches my eye it's too dark to tell what it is but I swear that I can see a very large figure but no that's way too big it's probably a tree or just my eyes messing with me so as Jeremy is gabbing along in the background I ask Craig as an Insight if he can see something standing

up Ahead and he's like no where oh wait there oh yeah I see something we were still walking and it was becoming clear that I wasn't seeing things there was a a very large person standing in the forest up ahead apparently facing us so I try to get Jeremy's attention without cluing the big guy in that we've noticed him just in case something sketchy is going on which I get the serious feeling that there may be We tell Jeremy that there's a person up ahead but Jeremy is in a jovial no chill State and he

exclaims is that Bigfoot but we humor him and laugh but it's clear to Craig and I that this is actually creepy and probably not a safe situation and it's clear that Jeremy is not understanding that it's hard to communicate the pacing of our approach onto the guy but essentially we had gotten too close not to acknowledge Him a partially because it took us a moment To get Jeremy's attention and partially because we weren't trying to just turn around and run like we were scared but there were four of us and one of him after all

but this was a big guy not supernaturally big or anything and not like he was jacked or anything like that just a a naturally huge dude very tall and heavy without being particularly fat and he was just standing there in the middle of of the forest in the dark alone so as we approach this guy and Just sort of say hello Jeremy the absolute fool that he was gets way too close into this guy's personal space as he enthusiastically tells him about how scary he looks standing in the woods alone like that but we thought

you were an alien or something bro I thought you were going to jump and be like B Jeremy mimes an extra set of teeth coming out of his mouth like a Xeno more from the alien verse Predator movies all up in this guy's face mind you to be clear Jeremy is not trying to be intimidating or a jerk in any way he's trying to be friendly and joking around with this guy but he is literally leaning into this dude and practically sticking his hands in his face with his impression of an alien did I mention

that Jeremy was kind of a well Jeremy was kind of a I love the guy but it is what it is and Jeremy's poor girlfriend who was a few years younger than us and very shy Was clearly terrified to which Jeremy was also oblivious so Craig and I are both standing here kind of trying to brainstorm a way out of this situation Jeremy is clearly too dense to get it if we say that we have to go I mean he'd be like what we just got here are we having a fire plus we were trying

to seem confident man in control of the situation the big guy says oh uh are you guys Drinking I got some drinks too and he walks over to the tree line where he has a bag laying beside a tree he reaches inside the bag and while he grabs a beer with one hand he sort of sneakily pulls something else out with his other hand and places it in his hoodie pocket I was convinced that it was a knife or a gun probably a knife in all honesty he then approaches us and cracks open His beer

I sort of glance around casually and then I notic something else somebody else is out there too there's someone moving along the tree line to our left a relatively good distance away but somebody else is out there for sure and they're circling around us as if to come up behind us and at that point I was like to heck with this I need to leave now so I go well uh I got to work in the Morning and Craig's driving me home so we got to get out of here Jeremy in His Infinite Wisdom responds

what you said you didn't have work tomorrow I face palm so hard on the inside at this point no Jeremy you must have misheard me I said that I do have work tomorrow and Jeremy proving that there's no end to his wisdom says all right guys well it was nice hanging with with you get home safe apparently he wasn't leaving the woods with us Craig and I started Walking away and I told him about the other person circling to get behind us and that we needed to move we start trying to brainstorm a way to

get Jeremy and his girlfriend out of there and decide to call him and tell him that his mom was out in the parking lot looking for him Jeremy is apparently terrified of his mom Craig explains to me man this should work but we had to do this because we clearly couldn't just call him and tell him the situation was not Safe without him blurting out this guy isn't sketchy I feel totally safe Jeremy was very mad at us for lying about his mom I think his girlfriend appreciated it though and in the end we called

them and we got them out of there now I'm not sure what was going on there that night I've talked to several people about it over the years and there are a few different ideas did they know that we were coming back were they waiting for us or did we Stumble onto something that we weren't meant to almost everyone I tell about this says you guys just accidentally interrupted a drug deal but something about that just doesn't seem right I mean who does a drug deal in the middle of the Woods at night like that

I don't know it's very possible it's just a homeless dude with no ill intention and another the homeless dude with no ill intention again but it was a Very creepy and scary situation and something tells me that more was going on there that perhaps we were better off not [Music] knowing when I was a pre-teen early teen I had reoccurring nightmares involving my maternal grandparents their residence would change or be different in many of my dreams but there would always be this dark room with an evil presence inside Of it usually on an upper floor

I would usually be too frightened to go inside but the few times that I was brave enough to enter there would only be darkness that mevolent feeling and sometimes there would be a mirror of all things in one particular dream my family on my mom's side was downstairs talking and enjoying themselves while I happen to be exploring in the evil room upstairs stairs I looked into the mirror and I saw the reflection of a girl Running past me when I ran downstairs to tell them what I had just saw everyone and everything just became completely

dead silent they were all just sort of looking at me without saying a word until my mom came up to me placed her hand on my shoulder and said that girl represents the curse of my past I really had any more of those dreams after that one now some interesting albeit creepy real life facts to consider after my mom's Parents died my mom aunts and myself cleaned up their house and I happened to find that exact same mirror underneath a bed in that room that when I was a lot younger and my grandfather was still

alive he would always yell and call me out of it for some reason I always felt some kind of I don't know dark presence in parts of that house and their backyard Shack as well my grandfather was a a Shriner Freemason and according to my mom he was Very abusive towards her when she was young she didn't really like to talk about it much though also when my mom and her two sisters were young they messed around with a Ouija board once hopefully just once although it only takes one time apparently there's a lot of

strange things involving myself and my family and I just provide this to paint a bit of a picture so what I saw when I was younger was this I saw pale colored non-human Creatures in my room once when I was really young I remember well hallucinating is probably the best term for it and crawling to the door then I heard my mother call for me from across the house and I had enough willpower to go to get to her and as soon as I exited my room everything went pitch black for a couple of minutes

my vision was mostly gone my awareness was screwed up but both came back to me soon after feeling my way down the hallway into my mom's Direction I led her back to my room but whoever or whatever was there was gone Without a Trace before she died in 2010 she told me that she remembered that occurrence and for some reason she was the one to use the word creatures which always stuck out to me did she see something I'm fairly certain that I'm not being told everything and I just know deep down that whatever I

saw was Real two friends and I briefly witnessed a v-shaped UFO in Tulsa Oklahoma as well one night back in April of 2009 it was absolutely huge seemingly cloaked besides the dim lights transparent or semi-transparent slow moving and completely silent so far the only unidentified craft I've seen seen to my knowledge On a related note too one of my paternal uncles was in the military he actively researched UFOs for unknown Reasons he's very secretive about such things and has at least one or two books about them so my family seems to have a a history

with this which obviously with what I saw is definitely a bit strange this incident happened years ago so I'm sorry if some information is a bit vague but I'm just sharing what I can remember so one day in the summer of 2017 it was a gloomy day at the start of our walk but that's not relevant me and my bestie had decided to go for a hike This time we decided to take the trail even though we usually just walked wherever we wanted but as we got to the bench which was just over halfway up

but we took a break a young girl and her dog were jogging down the mountain there was really nothing out of the ordinary so we assumed that it was safe to go to the top once we got to the last turn before the top I all of a sudden just got a a really uneasy Feeling we continued but near the top there was a slope with lots of rocks and rubble and I could see three or four men at the top conversing behind a bush of some sort so I stopped dead in my tracks and

I then heard one of the men say frantically hide the body hide the body bag he said it just loud enough that me and my bestie knew what he had just said my bestie took a couple of steps forward to see if it was just some teens messing with us but it was a small group of men With a body bag I never saw the bag the body or any of the men's faces me and my bestie just said quietly what do we do then we gave each other the get me the heck out of

here look and we just booked it none of the Men followed us thankfully and we made it down the mountain safely we ended up making a police report because my bestie saw the bag the men and also some old blood on the bag too despite the local police not Believing us they scraped the mountain they originally didn't believe us and found nothing but shortly after this encounter a news report came out about an Australian guy that went missing and his remains were found in my hometown it was then that the pieces started to click I

personally believe that the man was killed way before they brought his body to the mountain to dispose of it I mean if you really think about it they Probably wanted the body to be found if they were stupid enough to ditch it on a public mountain with a hiking trail of all places of course in the news report they never said me and my bestie found the body because who would believe two teenagers right plus a search team had found the remains of the poor guy so of course they're going to get all the credit

I still don't know to this day why this happened but all I can say is That I'd never lie about witnessing something like this it was truly messed up so I don't know a ton about the history of my childhood home but I know that it was old and one of the creepiest places that I've ever lived it was a four-story house fancy right with lots of dark spaces and long stairways basically it was really big there wasn't a moment in that house that I felt like I was truly alone too and There wasn't a

hallway that felt truly empty I was just barely out of toddlerhood when I started to develop severe anxiety I was afraid to do anything alone I was always checking behind me sleeping with my head under the covers seeing things hearing things you name it I'm almost 100% sure that there was something paranormal making me feel this way at that time and I wasn't the only one seeing and hearing things though too my older brother shared a Room with me and he always slept on the top bunk his bed was maybe a foot away from the

the ceiling and the attic was right above us and he told me that some nights he would hear adult footsteps right above his head just circling the attic but it gets weirder still he's told me that at one point he woke up next to a a shadowy figure just lying in the bed with him he claims the figure had two white specks for eyes and that it wasn't acting malicious just Sort of lying there silently this might have been some kind of sleep paralysis hallucination we know that but considering the other events I wouldn't be

surprised if it was something else and now onto the main event the playroom that room was the creepiest thing in the house and I get Shivers just thinking about it it sat at the end of a long hallway on the top floor just below the attic my room was down the hall from it and it Was always pitch black I remember staying up at night staring at it just in case something moved I often couldn't take my eyes away in fear of something appearing if I did somehow every time that I looked at that doorway

the door was wide open and the door wasn't weak either it worked perfectly fine and wouldn't open unless you turn the knob I'd ask my dad to close it before I went to bed and it would stay closed for a bit and until All of a sudden it would just slide open again now I'm not a door specialist by any means but it was arguably very creepy but there's more to this as well now that we're older and out of that house me and my brother found out that we shared a terrifying experience once we

both saw something incredibly creepy in the same place I remember it vaguely it was a a small neutral glowing white face in the playroom it looked a little bit like a Kid from my memory but it had no body just a a pure white face in the dark it was around my height and his eyes were kind of just well not there really I don't remember much but what I do remember is that it was the single most terrifying thing that I'd been through in that place I don't know if I hallucinated or what but

I know that it felt incredibly real at the time maybe it was just a dream or something because all I Remember is seeing that face getting scared and running back to my bed I don't think that I screamed but I just don't really remember too much I kind of I don't know like love hate thinking about it because it just makes my hair stand on edge anyway thanks to that house I have now been diagnosed with anxiety I'm taking medication for it and I'm all right but I thought that that was worth noting I could

go on as well about other Things but those were definitely the things that stand out the most so a couple of weeks ago I was headed out to my family Cemetery about 5 mil outside of town I hadn't been out there since a couple of days days after Christmas right after I had learned that my dad had finally lost his battle with lung cancer I've spent a lot of time at that cry in the last few years I like to go out there and do audio recordings and Just for the fact that it's so peaceful

out there and well it used to be anyway you see I've had some really bad experiences out there in the last couple of years have gotten some really nasty EVPs and it turned into a very dark place at night but that's a story for another time now when I go out there I always stop at a little country church about a mile down the road the reason for this Is because the church used to belong to my great-grandfather and my great uncle both of whom preach there and I go there and ask for their protection

and guidance before going to the cemetery but on this night I changed my pattern for some reason instead of going to the church first I drove on past the cemetery about maybe a half mile to some property that my aunt and uncle own there's a small Creek that runs along the road and just before you get to the Creek is where my life started out at the Old Homestead now at the bottom of the hill the creek sort of crosses under the road and makes a sharp turn to continue following the road in that turn

is what used to be a pretty deep hole my mom and dad grew up right down the road from there and all my family used used to swim in that hole in fish it's been a very long time since my parents and my uncle and even me have Swam there as a matter of fact over the years that hole is filled in and sort of is no more just a shallow Bend in the creek but back in the day one of my uncle's high school friends drowned there my uncle also drowned there but they were

able to revive him thank God so anyway when I arrived there I backed my truck into the Drive I was barely off the roadway and left my headlights on and the motor running I was only going to be there for maybe a Minute I started to record a video with my iPhone and was describing why I was going to the cemetery now during all of this at one point I could have sworn that I saw something pop up from the creek and then go back down really quickly however I tried to ignore it and kept

going on with my video after a minute or so it happened again though I didn't miss a beat though when I kept on filming but noted that it Appeared to be a figure of human nature but sort of grayish white kind of skinny but I didn't see its face once again I kept right on going trying to ignore what I had seen and then it happened a third time but this time it looked more gray than white and there was no face and at that moment the feeling of something dark unfriendly and mad that I

was there washed over me all of a sudden and every hair on my body stood straight on End I start saying this isn't good repeatedly and then I got the feeling that something aggressive and really mad was approaching very quickly it's hard to describe but that's the feeling that I got and at that I tried to get out of there as quickly as I could but it wasn't quick enough I don't I know if you're familiar with the term but if anyone is then have you ever got what some call Spirit jumped it's where a

spirit or entity Jumps into your body it's brief most of the time but not brief enough your body goes into survival mode adrenaline dumps but not like a normal adrenaline dump this is like 10 times worse it may also feel like your breath is sort of sucked right out of your lungs and it's a struggle to breathe in any air it's really scary when it happens but you also feel like something evil has reached into your body and grabbed your soul all of a sudden it's a very Demanding warning to get the heck away and

that they mean business so when I pulled out of there I headed straight up the road to the church but before I could get there I heard a very ominous growl over my left shoulder and got hit a second time this was much worse than the first time too I became very vocal and demanded that it get away and get out of my truck but whatever it was it must have stayed there until I reached the church but When I pulled in I called upon my great-grandfather for help then I was hit a third time

it was brief but the point was gotten across to me all of a sudden I could then feel everything lighten up as they say the hairs went down and I became relaxed fairly quickly I left the church soon after and I went back home where I had my daughter bring out my Bible and I didn't go inside until I was certain that whatever it was had left Me the next evening I went to the Family Cemetery stopping at the church first of course I used the necrophonic app which I use quite a bit from time

to time I didn't even ask about the night before but I was told that there was evil at the creek stay away from the water they call it dark water I had never in almost 3 years of us using that app ever gotten those responses or any mentions of water or dark water and no I was not under the Influence of anything I take no medications and other than some post-traumatic stress disorder I have no mental health issues nothing that would cause this at least this particular area is pretty rural the area had a lot

of Native American activity and is within 300 ft of a known burial ground as well as another Cemetery that has long long been forgotten as a kid the woods around this area always seemed to have a dark side We always felt watched when we were playing in the woods around there there is also a piece of property within maybe a quarter mile that was rumored as apparently being owned by a [Music] witch when I was around 9 years old my friend and me were playing out outside of our school there was an event going on

and it already got dark outside we ran around and to understand what happened next you need to Understand the layout of the schoolyard so it was a big square with high bushes opposite of the school walls it was just a straight line where kids would run and hide there was space for about two people maybe standing next to each other between the bushes and a fence to a pavement every 10 m or so there was an opening into this space between Bush and fence so my friend and me were're running around and then disappear into

the bushes laughing we Walked behind the bushes like I said only a straight line was possible behind the bushes it kind of stopped and looked Straight Ahead there was a bus stop the one that I used for like 8 years when I became 10 it was about maybe 15 20 M away from us and there was a woman standing there she was looking straight ahead but we only saw her right side profile she had a white dress on and that was when I noticed that I couldn't see any feet she was hovering There I didn't

see any features in fact she was more like a smudge that's what I thought it was at first too just my eyes playing tricks on me until I looked at my friend staring also at her we both kind of looked at each other confused and then scaring the life out of me this smudge turned her head around looked at us and came closer at an alarming speed we both screamed and ran outside the bushes to the middle of the yard trying to catch our breath I Asked her what she saw thinking that maybe I just

startled her and caused her to scream because I screamed but to my horror she described the exact same thing that I saw us being stupid 9-year-olds we started laughing I think and me being always the one stirring things up I suggested to go back and check out if she was still there my Laughing stopped when I went behind the bushes and spotted her standing there again at that Bus stop and yet again she slowly looked at us and started to come closer this time we screamed and ran back inside the school I remember not telling

anyone anything because I knew that they wouldn't believe me I've only told told this story to a handful of people I also lost contact with this friend but I wish that I could talk to her again and ask her if she remembers this day as clearly as I [Music] Do when I was in college I was out and about with my then boyfriend we had gone to dinner then went to Walmart to get some typical college food so that we could survive a Sunday in I was dressed up in a casual fit and we decided

to split up while we shopped split apart maybe to do quicker shopping but I don't remember the exact reason why I just remember that I was wandering the grocery aisles when I noticed this girl who was about my age in a friendly Manner we casually smiled at each other and continued on shopping it didn't seem weird at first but I kept noticing her in the same miles as me and a big muscular man was never far behind us eventually I texted to my boyfriend and asked where he was and continued on shopping next thing I

know the girl approaches me and says that she loves my jacket I say thanks Maurice's and try to move on she stops me and says something along the lines of hey you look like You're my age and seem really nice I just moved here for a new job and Company my friends and I are starting up and tried to ask me questions about where I was from I was vague enough untrusting with what I said noticing that this wasn't really that normal then she said I'm looking for more people like you and I too work

for our company it's kind of a warehouse job and I would love for you to be one of our bookkeepers you should Give me your number I said that's really nice of you to offer me a job but I'm not a desk person and already have a job that I love she said that's a bummer I thought we might work well together well would you want to give me your number so that we can hang out I would love to have a friend who can show me around the city it was then that I realized

that I wasn't getting out of this situation until my boyfriend showed up or I gave Her my number eventually I rattled off a fake phone number and said hey I'll catch you later I got to go then I walked away praying my boyfriend would be near so that we could get out of there quickly while I was looking for him and trying to call him the girl called up to me and said I tried to call you but it said the number was out of service and as I tried to come up with a quick

excuse and say maybe you typed it in Wrong she saw that my phone was unlocked and in my hand she quickly snatched it and called herself on it I was so flustered and mad at her that I snatched my phone back right when my boyfriend came around the corner he instantly recognized that something was up and said that we had to go when the girl saw him approach me she looked really disappointed to see him and stopped trying to interact with me we ended up buying nothing and Leaving that night we called our parents and

the police too the police said that they didn't think there was anything in it or anything ill intended but I was sure that it was probably trafficking I was going to switch my phone number because I was actually a little bit scared I blocked them though and turned off all location access on my phone I was too scared to go anywhere alone for a little while too I even told my coach so that she knew anyway a Couple of days later I got a text from a random number it was the girl she sent a

picture of my best friend who was out drinking downtown with some of her other friends the text said I met your best friend she gave me your number because I told her that I was looking for a new friend she showed me a picture of you and I said what a coincidence I met her the other day and lost her number when I got a new phone about 2 minutes later I got a text From my best friend that said I gave your number to a girl who wants to make friends around here and is

looking for people to join her business and since I moved this week I thought of you I freaked out a bit at this and I told her that she needed to get away from this girl and not to leave alone with her I stayed up worried until my best friend got home she said that she was fine otherwise I would have gone to pick her Up the next day my best friend apologized and told me to block the number my friend and her group tried to ditch her but she kept showing up at the bars

that they were at which was weird because how did she know that they were there she said the girl was relentless and texted her all night trying to get my friend to hang out at her place my best friend also said that when she asked about the business the girl wouldn't give her many details other Than that it was a a warehouse somewhere would pay her great in town and if she wanted a tour of it she would take her weirdly too after this we never actually heard from this girl again it was as if

she just fell off the radar completely anyway today I was listening to a podcast and they mentioned different sex trafficking tactics two were actually vague jobs where they would pay you well but needed you to come meet them to give you more Information and also a new to town girl who desperately needs new friends I've been thinking about this all morning and I'm really glad that I felt uncomfortable and that my friend didn't go with this girl as well but I'm mostly mad that the cops ignored my concern and said that it was nothing I

at least hoped that they wrote down the tip that night I mean I doubt they did but honestly it was really creepy Vibes just all around and the Fact that she disappeared like that I don't know the whole thing was really [Music] fishy this was about 12 years ago on a September day it was time for me to renew my license so me my wife and two sons who are 1 and 2 years old set out to drive a few Towns over about 45 minutes away and renew my license it was a crispy fall day

I still remember how beautiful it was we left home at about 8:00 a.m. or so Because we knew that we would be back home by 11:00 and have some time with the babies before our daughter got off the bus at 2:40 p.m. we had plenty of time we arrived at the DMV a few minutes after 9:00 my wife stayed with the kids while I ran into the DMV I got my license and walked about 10 minutes till 10: as I walked to the car I saw my wife standing outside smoking and our babies were asleep

we got in the car to come home and that's where things Got very strange you see as we pull out of the plaza and onto the offramp I began to feel very weird I felt a I don't know like a vibration inside of me I'm not talking about a vibration like driving on the rumble strip or sitting on a washer or something I'm talking about it felt like the cells inside of my body were vibrating at a sort of subatomic level I've never felt that before but I began to wonder if I was having a

Medical emergency or something as I looked over at my wife as we drove down the offramp we both sort of faded into the black next thing I know I'm watching those white painted divider strips in the middle of the highway that separate the lanes each one passing by very quickly and I'm watching thinking how interesting this is just one after another I'm in some kind of a trance or days or something it felt very strange I wasn't in control of myself though but Then I looked over at my wife and she was leaned all the

way forward in her seat close to the windshield seat belt extended all the way her eyes were wide open and her mouth was gaped open too I've never seen her do that before nor since then and at the same time I thought that it was very strange then I go back to watching those White Lines on the Highway then it's as if I start fading back in I sort of aware of my hands on the steering wheel Once again I look back over at my wife and she closes her mouth and leans back in her

seat it seems that we must have come too at the same time then it was as if I was released and given full control and I was now fully aware and I said what the heck is going on where are we my wife is looking around puzzled she checks the babies and they're still asleep I'm trying to figure out where we are but there's just no way because we're now getting ready to drop into the Capital city this isn't even the way that we were traveling I immediately pull off the highway and we start discussing

what just happened I asked my wife what the last thing she remembered was and she said coming off the ramp right after we left the DMV I said me too and I told her about the vibrations that I felt and how I just sort of faded to Black we were stumped a little panicked Obviously but I then see the clock and it's 2:00 p.m. there's just no way I asked where 4 hours went and we're so far out of our way that just none of this made any sense my wife had to call my parents

and have them pick up our daughter off the bus my mom asked if everything was okay and my wife said that we're all okay but no and that we would explain when we got there at this point it was closer for us to Drive through the capitol city and come around the backway home we were about an hour and 45 minutes from home and as we drove home I kept trying to rationalize everything I would say a few words and then stop she was doing the same thing we finally got home I told my mom

and dad what had happened and they know that we aren't Liars or anything and they didn't really know what to say but this happened and to this day I don't know what it Was I don't want to dox myself or anything but this also happened where a very famous UFO or alien monster thing happened many years ago in any case though about 2 months later we were in bed asleep and so I woke up all of a sudden there was a dull blue light in our bedroom in the front of the windows it was about

the size of a basketball and I laid there looking at it I could see that it was three Di itional too I dug my elbow into my Wife's side and said look we watched for a couple of minutes then it just seemed to turn off I got up and tried to debunk what it was but there's nothing that could have created that effect is it connected I don't know but not long after this I noticed a scar on my right wrist it's a perfect triangle shaped scar about the size of a p I would guess

have no idea where that could have come from My wife checked herself but didn't find anything out of the ordinary on her okay so we live in a very touristy sort of Lake toown we were out and about and I saw a tourist magazine on the counter of a local gas station later when I'm home I'm sitting in my chair just thumbing through it and that's when I come across an account that someone had sent into this tourist magazine and my jaw Hit the Floor this lady said that her and her Husband had come to

to our Lake on vacation and had a really strange occurrence she said that they were in a small canoe going across the lake when all of a sudden they just blacked out or something and then woke up sitting in the canoe in a dry drainage ditch beside the lake if I remember right she said that they were 15 to 20 ft from the lake water they didn't understand how they ended up there and they were really Scared they had to carry their canoe back to the water and paddle away that's how far away they were

and she said that they packed up camp left quickly and that they were never going to come back here this took place a couple of years ago now I was in Middle School at the time myself my sister and my mom were both on our front porch unlocking the door after coming home from school but we noticed something was off right away Because our alarms didn't go off and my mom always made a point to set the alarm before we leave the house although that was weird and we all noticed and commented about it it

was very possible that we just forgot to set it and because of that possibility we just ignored it and we moved on as we entered the house and were beginning to set our backpacks and other stuff down I heard a drawer close in my bedroom I thought that I was just Hearing things so I looked at my mom and was about to ask her if she heard heard something my mom looked at me at the same time and her look of horror was enough for me to realize that she heard the same thing my sister

didn't seem to notice because she had her earphones in but that sound and the fact that the alarm was off was enough for my mom to decide to get us out of there she loudly said I want to show you guys something in the backyard because she didn't want Anyone in the house to know that we heard them and that's why we were leaving the house my sister looked confused but I knew exactly what my mom just said and why she said it as we entered the backyard and shut the door behind us well we

sped walked towards the alley behind our house the only thing that separated us from it was a wooden fence once we reached that wooden fence we opened the gate and began to exit into the alleyway I was the last to Exit through the gate and before I shut the gate I looked at the house one last time and to my horror I saw standing there someone looking at me through our curtains we called the police and unfortunately they didn't find anyone and also weirdly enough nothing was stolen I never told anyone about what I saw

but I'll never forget that day and it always sits really poorly with me that whoever was in there wasn't Interested in our stuff [Music] this happened when I was about 12 I still remember it vividly as I've told the story many times since so I figured that I'd share it here with all of you I was staying with my grandparents and Aunt in Brian Texas she's always been more like a cousin to me because she's one year younger than me my dad was with us the first night but he had to head off to do

some work or something and Left me with the grandparents for the remainder of the St I was staying in the room where my grandparents were caring for my since departed great-grandmother since it was the only free room in the house the couple nights leading up to the incident there was really nothing out of the ordinary too then on the third night I went to bed like usual and everything was fine I always left the door sort of cracked Open a bit so it was also cracked on this specific night the first thing that I remember

that startled me was the old Ro phone making a noise out of nowhere these phones were before my time so I don't know exactly how they work but it made this really long continuous sort of beeping noise for what felt like about 2 or 3 minutes before it stopped kind of freaked out I didn't really think much of it to be honest I mean maybe it was Malfunctioning it eventually stopped on its own too which made me feel better but the thing that really scared me was shortly after the beep stopped I then noticed a

Shadow outside of the cracked door which appeared to be someone walking by which didn't startle me at first but as I went by the door slammed really hard my scared 12-year-old self instantly pulled the blankets over my head and I was scared but eventually I Must have fallen asleep because all I remember is waking up the next morning the next morning after I woke up I saw my aunt and and she also seemed terrified I asked her what was wrong and she asked me if I was walking around last night I said no and she

seemed really scared so I asked why she asked me she said that she was awake in her bed late at night and heard something making noise she then said that she stared at her door and it opened and a Tall black figure made its way into her room her bed was positioned in such a way that there was a small gap between the bed and the wall and she told me that she saw the figure got scared and basically rolled herself and her blanket over into the gap between her bed and the wall and stayed

there all night out of fear obviously this freaked me out a bit too but now we both thought that maybe it was her dad walking around at night I also often forget to mention too But the house also had a home security system that made a very loud beep every time a door or window was opened so neither of us thought that it would be a home invasion or anything like that but then not even 5 minutes later both her parents wake up and come out of their room and asked us if we were walking

around last night because they heard lots of noise neither me nor my aunt have really said anything about it to each other Since then but I do think that we both came to the same realization that there was something odd going on in the house that night so I've had many things happen to me in my life I've seen a full body Shadow Apparition which turned out to be the so-called hatman which I discovered by accident in another place I've seen objects move sometimes two objects at the same time that are about 10 ft apart

I've had my locked door open and close On its own which requires another whole story to explain because there's a lot of details to it I've captured over a dozen Class A EVPs some of which are the clearest you'll ever hear I've recorded an EVP of a person who told me his full name to find out that he wasn't even dead yet but died 2 days later after the EVP I've recorded Spirit Box sessions and I understand the doubt and all this but it works I have two two sessions that there's just no denying that

it Answered directly I've had things thrown at me been laughed at sarcastically by a voice I'll post separate stories about all these experiences at some point and go into great detail but what I'm getting at is that none of these things actually scared me I even would say out loud the names of whatever these things were and that they don't scare me there's only one incident though that actually did Scare Me You see at one point out of the blue I woke up out of a trance in front of my stove with the burner on

and a knife with a plastic handle in the frying pan with the handle melting I had no idea what happened my girlfriend told me that I called her and apparently wasn't making any sense I had pieces of food in the freezer with knife slashes all over them and the craziest thing of all is that I had a room air cleaner balancing perfectly upside down In the bedroom which is impossible to do in fact I tried it well over a dozen times trying to stand it upside down but it doesn't have the top surface where it's

possible so I still have no idea how that happened but what I'm getting at here is that I had no control over myself for I would guess maybe half an hour and something happened I started thinking about how some murderous said that they blacked out when savagely stabbing someone or how someone who Everyone thought was completely normal just lost it and they commit mass murders for just no reason and now I have to wonder if maybe there's some truth to it and maybe true evil does exist because I have a feeling that maybe I was

possessed and what if my mother or somebody else that I love was in that house with me that day what would I have done would I have just been limited to The few spaces and the few weird things that I had done or would something much worse have happened when I was 10 I'm 36 now and my mother 31 Aunt 28 almost 3 months pregnant and sister five and myself were Christmas sh being in a town about 45 minutes from my home my father Southern Baptist preacher at the time always made my mom call him

on a pay phone before we would leave the town that we were in to head home so my mother did so right Around 9:00 p.m. when the mall that we were at was closing after hitting up a drive-thru for drinks and snacks we began our drive home we would take a route home that consisted almost entirely of back roads roads with Farmland on either side occasional forests or Farm homes we are driving along a patch of road with Farmland on our left that has a small patch of Forestry behind it as we close the distance

between us and the Mini Forest one of the adults says it looks like those trees over there are on fire I look and the wooded area is glowing a fiery orange we're all looking in that direction of the trees directly to our left now when a brilliant white light akin to truck brights floods our car and the source appears to be directly in front of us on the road if you've ever passed out you'll know what I mean when I say it's different from waking up you're just Sort of aware again or something anyway it

was like that for me I opened my eyes to my mom and aunt wordlessly staring at each other I looked around the car to see the windows are sort of lightly frosted over and my exhales are visible in the super cold car my my sister is just sitting there staring at the back of the seat in front of her my aunt says to my mom guess we can't get that loaf of bread you needed to which my mom says nothing but instead Starts up the car we are in a small town now about 15 minutes

away from home but not along our route home in a m and pop grocery store parking lot called Harvest Market also it is now 2:30 a.m. I'm aware that this should be impossible but we finished our journey home to be greeted by the police cruisers in our driveway my dad had called the police when we hadn't made it home at the expected time a state officer drove our Route home that we would have taken worried that we were off the road somewhere my father was Furious especially when my mother kept telling him that she didn't

know where we were she was crying and super scared the officer at our house was really glad that we were home and they left my family was at the time very religious so our 5 hours of lost time was just swept under the rug because there was no explanation that aligned with our Perspectives my aunt unfortunately lost the baby without any indications that a miscarriage had occurred and the OB doc told her that the fetus must have reabsorbed itself into her body I had night terrors for years afterwards too would wake up drenched in sweat

unable to recall what it was in my dreams that had me so scared thankfully I've since gotten over that now I'm not claiming to have been abducted but I can say with certainty That all four of us lost 5 hours and my cousin just wasn't in my aunt's uterus anymore either I've kicked around the idea of regression therapy but I don't know if I trust it would work and if it did work I don't know if I want to know what happened to be honest I've shared this story in my 10th grade public speaking class

please don't dox me if you know who I am and my English teacher told me after class that she believed me and it made me cry I didn't Think that I'd ever be able to talk about it outside of my family and best friends but she really empowered me to talk about it the truth rings true and people recognize it when they hear it it was my litmus test for my current partner of almost 12 years I told him what happened a few months into a dating and he believed me not that I need to

be believed but it is validating so who the heck knows what happened but the event dramatically Changed my perspective and I've been on the hunt for the truth ever since if anyone has any ideas as to how I could go about finding out what happened I'm more than happy to hear your suggestions I've attempted to undergo hypnosis before not for this particular situation just in general and unfortunately it was unsuccessful it very well could have been the hypnotist wasn't all that Effective or I just wasn't in the right mindset at the time but I'm definitely

open to trying again if anyone knows of someone who could help anyway happy Hunting fellow Seekers and stay safe out [Music] there one night after a student student party my mate and I decided to bike up a mountain to where the city had installed hammocks so we could watch the sunrise it was at times a steep incline And we only had our bike lights to guide us my friend was in better shape than I got well ahead of me halfway towards our destination we then heard a rustling come from the hill to the right and

before I knew what was happening my friend had turned his bike around and started pedaling fast right at that moment a rugged guy with long hair and a beard ran down the hill and tried to Lunge for my bike he knew managed to grab the handlebars but I turned around Just in time to follow my mate and started pedaling as quickly as I could let me tell you though flying down a mountain in the pitch dark with a terrible bike light with someone running after you screaming is legitimately terrifying he ran all the way to

the entrance of the forest and he stood there watching a cycle away it was really creepy and the whole thing just felt really off almost like it was [Music] Planned so Fe is ago I lived in an apartment complex in San Antonio Texas my 26-year-old female lived there for about 4 years with a couple of my best friends over the years I would run in a neighborhood that was close to our apartment complex I've actually had a couple of weird things happen to me throughout the years running through there as well as at our complex

but this event was definitely the most terrifying moment in my life and caused me to stop Running in that neighborhood altogether until life finally found my friends and I moving to a different city so over the years of running in that neighborhood I became familiar with this one house that gave serious Trap House Vibes it was very out of place for the neighborhood as there was an elementary school just up the street and the area is not a high crime area by any means it was a corner housee that was at the first stop sign

of my running path so closest to my Apartment and housed a group of about six huge men that's usually about how many I would see together at a time anyway and they always had people coming and going sounded like they threw a NeverEnding party and their property smelled strongly of weed as a woman and avid watcher of crime documentaries I'm constantly paranoid and observant of my surroundings which is why I'd come to know that house so well throughout the years I'd always managed to see them but They never saw me but the last year we

lived there that all changed so just so you guys know it wasn't dark at all during this event the sun was out and shining brightly and it was about 5:30 p.m. or so I'm at the start of my path and I'm coming up to that first stop sign in the house per usual I look for them in their vehicle and any potential traffic and I see that they aren't home they only had one vehicle that they would all pile into and it was a big Black Tahoe or something I'm not a car expert by any

means but that's just my guess I continue on my run though which takes me further up past that house and into another neighborhood where I would run around in a culde saac a few times before running back down that path I'd say maybe about an hour and a half passes by and then I decided to head home after the Sun starts to set and it gets dark as I'm running home and coming up to that house and the stop sign I'm Listening to music and running and see that I need to stop at the stop

sign because of traffic I'm coming up to the stop sign which puts the house to the right of me and the stop sign to the fourway intersection to the left of me and I credit what happened next to trusting my instincts remaining being observant and being in band and softball I was honestly really tired from my run so I was kind of looking Down at the ground rather than ahead but I always utilize my peripheral vision shout out to being a band nerd if you know then you know so I take off to run across

the street to the sidewalk that will take me to the fence on the side of my apartment complex it didn't have a door so I would just either hop it or slide under to run down that path and I see that the vehicle that had been stopped at the stop sign perpendicular to me is the vehicle that I know to Belong to the house that was just on the right of me out of the corner of my eye I see them turn like as if they're going to go down the street when I think huh

that turn seemed too wide like a U-turn which is weird since their house is right there I take all of two tired steps I was out of energy at this point before I just get this sinking gut feeling now I have never in my life felt this feeling before but immediately I felt danger at my back and everything in My body and mind told me to run for my life so I did with that feeling of fear on my stomach and danger at my back I sprinted down the sidewalk with renewed Vigor and slid under

the fence like I was sliding to home plate I immediately popped out and turned ran to look outside the fence where I had just been and that was when I saw them the group of men that I'd only ever seen in passing were sitting in their car on the street outside of my apartment complex Fence with their windows down and all six of them were just staring at me with predatory eyes we stared at each other for what seemed like a long time before I watched them drive away and once they're out of site I

ran to my apartment and locked myself in there scared to show them exactly where my apartment was as I was worried that they were circling the complex looking for me I told my friends what happened and spent the rest of the Night full of adrenaline pacing and reflecting on what had just happened whether or not these guys knew where I lived those men purposely chose not to go home but pulled a U-turn to follow behind me as I was running away recount ing the story over the years I've had people tell me that it was

just so that they could view my butt as I ran or something but when I remember that feeling in my body that was almost a voice in my head yelling at Me to run like my life depended on it and I think of their blank faces and dark eyes staring at me from inside that vehicle I seriously question what their true intentions were that day several years ago I walked a handful of blocks up the street from my partner's house to a convenience store to buy something to drink it was about 11:00 p.m. and I

was trying to slide in there before the store closed to set the scene to we lived in a a transitory Neighborhood that was chalk full of abandoned houses and crime with a few occupied residences and businesses scattered about there were zero street lights or illumination of any sort thought Envision a more compact version of the type of Detroit neighborhood exemplified in the movie Barbarian and you won't be far off the mark looking back the nighttime excursions to the store from my place to his were absolutely idiotic on my part but after Living in that environment

for years I guess you just become accustomed to it anyway it was one of my many full hearty nighttime store trips my partner by then would ask me not to do it but I just ignored that I mean I wanted my drink after all really dumb of me I know I got the few blocks up the street in the usual Darkness got my drink and left the store to head back outside the store a guy was standing near the trash can hassling everyone who came out Asking for money cigarettes Etc I told him that I

didn't have anything and started to cross the parking lot and head back but this guy sprang after me like a freaking rabbit and grabbed a hold of my arm he starts aggressively demanding that I go to a party with him and trying to steam me down this pitch black side street just beside the convenience store he was probably 67 crazy tall and super thin with dreads all in his face making it hard to even See what he looked like his fingers though bit into my arm and felt like they pinched a nerve my heart starts

pounding like crazy right away I was used to brushing off this type of behavior having lived in that neighborhood for several years by then but this this was way more aggressive than anything that I had faced so far I shook my arm out of his grasp told him that I was heading to my boyfriend's place and it was only a few blocks down The street he was waiting for me Miss said sorry in an attempt to Plate him and I took off speed walking down the street at top speed he called after me several times

and then I heard his quick footsteps as he apparently decided to follow me down the street by then I could feel my heartbeat in my eyeballs my mouth had gotten cotton dry and I was almost hyperventilating with fear trying to stay quiet so this guy wouldn't hear me I had this feeling that to show fear Or to look back at him would cause him to react violently right away so I just put on a burst of speed and tried to outwalk him however my five five legs were no match for his crazy long stride and

I could hear little pieces of rock and concrete crunching under his feet as he closed in on me I literally felt like my heart would leap out of my chest or explode from Fear I tried to walk even faster but I could hear the guy right behind me Now I could hear his breath in my ear and got this overwhelming feeling that he was going to grab me at any second maybe even with a weapon and try to force me to walk where whereever he wanted me to go the neighborhood is Pitch Black and there's

no real through traffic not at night if he wanted to force me to go with him I would be powerless safe for trying to run from him but with his height Advantage I knew that he'd catch me Quickly then I could finally see my boyfriend's driveway and him standing at the end of it waiting for me he had a terrible feeling that night and already worried constantly about me walking at night so he'd come outside to wait for me I saw that he had his crowbar in one hand his usual defense weapon kept me in

the front door and then my nerve broke and I started sprinting toward him and the tall dude behind me started to run after me I reached the place where my Boyfriend stood and squeaked out help or something like that Dove behind him and coward waiting for the tall dude to pull a gun out and shoot us both or start struggling with my boyfriend but it didn't happen instead he gets right up in my boyfriend's face standing way too close to him and then just asks for a light my boyfriend gives him one holding the Crowbar

aoft in the other hand so that it was very visible then I grab a hold of him and yank him into the House locking the door and absolutely losing it sobbing and freaking out while trying to choke out what happened my boyfriend goes looking from the windows and sees him kind of standing around and eventually then leaving he saw him here and there for months afterward too up at the store or walking up and down the street right outside of our place unsurprisingly I'm sure I never took another nighttime walk and to this day I

still sometimes have Nightmares about it [Music] so I'm lucky enough to work in a chudah hall in the UK the building is late 14th century although much of it is late 16th century and later it's Timber framed and the electrics are in dire need of doing so it has a sort of creaky and poorly lit old pile places like this tend to accumulate spooky stories and the hall is no exception with two old Legends in particular there have been loads of Sightings around this place that have been reported by both staff and visitors in the

seven years that I've been there I've been collecting those stories and we've even made a ghost to her from them I'm somewhat of a skeptic myself but I have had three experiences that I just cannot really explain I will now share two of them so the first came in the summer of 2018 it was still bright out so the hall wasn't too dark I was closing the first Floor of the house up on my own I reached the room where a lot of the siding centered around off to the side is a bedroom with a

large oak door I had my back to the main room whilst trying to close the door as the Vault was jammed as I was doing this a massive crash happened right behind me I spun around in alarm expecting to see the suit of armor on the floor but the room was deathly still I could feel the vibrations Through the door knob but needless to say I was freaked out and I just left the second experience was quite fleeting but I'm sure of what I saw again at the end of the day about 6 months after

the first experience in the service Wing there's a sort of large Victorian kitchen and just outside of its door is a small staircase leading up to the servants quarters and a guest Wing I was heading into the kitchen to turn the lights off but I looked up the Stairs as I passed and I saw someone in a long white dress pass across the top it took me a moment as we had other staff in but I realized that the last visitors had just left thinking that we must have missed someone I went up the stairs

and searched for this visitor I looked through several rooms in fact I looked everywhere but there was nobody there needless to say It's a Spooky old place and many of the staff don't like being there on their own If I can figure out an easier way to share the other stories I will but for now this will have to do this happened in 2017 I was hanging out under a bridge with my friends when I was in high school it was near my house and it had really cool graffiti so we used to go there

to take picss and just sort of hang out once we decided to go at night night and we were sitting on the far left of the ledge anyway but we were Just talking about random things and to the far right I saw the shadow figure of a man whoever it was he was sitting on the edge of the ledge just hanging out I thought that I was tripping at first so I kept looking but every time I looked back he was still there and it was then that I realized that the shadow wasn't really a

a shadow from a person but the shadow was a person I was convinced still that it was my mind playing tricks on me but later On in the conversation we started talking about the Paranormal and my friend mentioned how this place was really creepy at night I then mentioned how I thought that I kept seeing this figure over there she was like bro I see it too I was convinced that she was playing with me so I didn't believe her at first but she insisted that she saw her too and thought that she was tripping

as well I was like you know what I'm good I'm out of here I start Walking by myself and praying she was with her boyfriend and they had an electric scooter that they were going to ride on so I was like let me get ah Head Start because there was no way that I was going to wait for them in that place alone I eventually went home and after that I never went back there again at night these days this story is a bit of a laugh for us no longer afraid of these types of

things because I know now to protect myself against them Religiously back then I was much more afraid but to this day I swear that I know what I saw there was a shadow man sitting there under that bridge I a 25-year-old female have always been more in tune with the supernatural and my first memorable experience I just so happened to witness with my cousin when we were much much younger my cousin her name is Kay and I went to a birthday party for one of our older cousins her name was cat it was a Gorgeous

day in June and it was the perfect day to enjoy a nice Summer Breeze my cousin cat was having a party for her 12th birthday at the Duncan Park while this park had its usual picnic tables and playground equipment it was surrounded by weeping willows which aren't that uncommon to find in this part of Mississippi however unlike other Parks this one was sitting right next to an old plantation house an abandoned YMCA That closed down in the 70s and the front of an old locomotive that the city was forced to fence off because my aunt

had defaced it in her youth my cousin Kay and I ran around the park while waiting for the rest of our family to show up and enjoy the festivities that was when we saw them two women dressed up in pastel lacy dresses with bell skirts and bonnets the style resembled that of the Civil War era however in our seven and 8-year-old Brains they were dressed like Barbie princesses so we followed as we still had that child naivity when it came to stranger danger they walked up the steps to the front porch of the Greek Revival

style home where we saw a few men in tail coats adorned with top hats and what the to be afternoon tea set up on a table my cousin and I watched at a distance at first completely entranced by the scene in front of us it was honestly almost like something out of a Fairy tale we got a bit closer and I remember we were going to ask them something what were we going to ask though I don't remember but I do remember that as soon as the word hey came out of our mouths the ladies

and dresses and the gentlemen in suits stopped what they were doing and then floated through the walls of the house disappearing completely my cousin and I stood there and looked at each other for a few minutes in Disbelief at what we had just witnessed Kay and I came to a silent understanding that no one would believe us since we were just children and would be written off as having overactive imaginations we went back to cat's party like everything was normal and didn't utter a word of what had just happened to well any anyone fast forward

to when we were teens we finally told my mom what we had experienced all those years ago my mom told us that the Orban Plantation had reenactments in the spring so what we must have seen was former residents enjoying the Summer Breeze like they were still amongst the living but my cousin and I we know what we saw that day and it was not a reenactment so I grew up in the countryside in Germany and my parents bought this super beautiful Old Farm and created their own space there it was really old over 100 years

I think and of course it had a lot Of history but I was never really terrified not felt that there was something paranormal going on there but one day I was maybe around 7 or 8 I'd say I was upstairs doing my homework and I heard the the mowing machine in our garden and figured out that it would be my mom or my brother but then I heard my mom clearly calling me at first I felt that she called my name but when I thought back about it I realized that she hadn't she just yelled

upstairs if I Was there and I yell downstairs that I was and she told me to come to the kitchen I thought to myself that lunch must be ready and I rushed downstairs I ran around the corner in the hallway and it really had to to a full stop and full speed since I almost crashed into this old woman just standing there she was wearing really simple but nice clothes in white and gray and had her white hair Loosely tied up in a bun and she looked really shocked she stared at me as if She

had just seen a ghost since I almost ran her over I immediately began to apologize but in the blink of an eye she was just gone she literally just faded away in front of my eyes that was a little too much for me to take obviously so I started to scream my lungs out for my mom but she just didn't answer I ran into the backyard to look for her and saw her just working with the machine which means that there was just no chance at all that she could Have called me downstairs I explained

everything to her and she tried to made me calm down by saying that I must have had a bad Daydream or something but I was fully awake and I knew what I saw and even what I heard after that I was terrified seriously terrified for almost a year to walk around corners fast I would always try to walk Extremely Loud while doing that or coughing right before so for the Case that someone was standing on the other side they would have enough time to just fade away I never saw this lady again and hopefully she

also didn't experience me another time I guess that she was even more terrified than I was this whole experience has made me question dimensions a lot in her world I was this creepy young girl rushing down the stairs and then calling for my mommy and in my world she was this strange old Woman that just came out of nowhere so I work at San Diego CA International Airport I fuel aircraft and do a lot of doubles and overtime so most of the time I'm working here's why this is relevant too I work night shift and

I live about 120 mes away so when I'm not working I'm usually on the road I commute a lot so by now I'm pretty familiar with my routes there's this particular spot though where if I need to take a leak I Can exit the freeway and be out of sight for the rest of the traffic this spot is about an hour into my drive up in the mountains there's nothing around for miles but my highway patrol or border patrol station somewhere in the mountain since the border is South just a few miles in and so

I exited my vehicle turned off the engine and I killed the lights and went on my business and when I was done I thought that I heard footsteps nearby but it was so dark and Foggy that I could just barely make out a figure with the occasional passing by of a vehicle on the freeway it's very quiet so I hop in my car and start the engine and I switched the lights on purposely steering in the direction of the figure to light it up and when I get there it looks like a young girl dressed

in black loose long black hair pushing a stroller in very short and slow steps and she's coming from a a rugged and small dirt road that I'm pretty sure Only border patrol trucks use since it leads to the mountain but from where I am I could see the long little road all the way into the mountains where it makes a turn behind a boulder I'm about 10 ft away and so I lower the window with the intention to ask if she's okay I mean it's 1 a.m super cold I'm advancing slowly at this point and

I'm pretty close but I'm trying to see inside the stroller and I see two small hands moving just like when a baby is Playing with its hands in the air but here is where the hairs on the back of my neck stood straight up because I hear grunting Pig likee grunting coming from the stroller and now that I look at her there's no freaking face no eyes no nose no mouth and I remember I exclaimed out loud nope steered the other way and just drove towards the freeway all this happened in the span of about

20 or 30 seconds and all I know is that I'm never Going to stop there again I've always been afraid of the dark more than that in fact I've always been afraid of the curtains being open at night the big black void of the backyard from the kitchen window is just unnerving so I make it a point to close the curtains before nightfall that said the first incident happened about a week and a half ago now their neighbors across the street had had a lot of company lately So this hand of car doors and people

talking and stuff like that had been a common thing the past few weeks they'd only lived there for about 2 months and since they moved in lots of people were coming and going however this usually stopped when it started to get dark at least on most nights anyway so when I started hearing sounds akin to doors opening and closing outside I got a little bit nervous I started thinking that maybe The neighbors just had a random night visit from someone some people do I guess I mean I do sometimes so I kind of put it

out of my mind I just continued watching videos with my husband after about an hour he fell asleep and I kind of rested my head on his shoulder still watching videos until our dog Penny Rose her head up and started growling this dog is a master alarm and I mean anytime she hears something outside that doesn't seem right mostly just at people showing Up unexpectedly or people talking outside or stuff like that she'll perk up and growl bark whenever she does I go on high alert especially at night our other dog Clementine isn't so quick

to be aggressive she's still a pup only 7 months old she had no reaction to this except to sit up and try and play with Penny while she swerved away from her ears and tail pointing straight up and alert I immediately lifted myself up from my husband's shoulder though and I Got out of bed I should note that for the past couple of weeks we slept in the living room as we're having our bedroom and bathroom renovated on our mattress is on the floor between the couches and just behind us is a small Hall that

leads to the laundry room and one of the two back doors in the house on this back door is a window with a small white curtain and I hate that door the curtain on it is very see-through and I try my best to avoid it at night but as it's The most readily available window it was the one that I went to check and see what penny was barking at when all I saw was Darkness I checked the front windows and saw nothing after a while Penny calmed down and took her place at the foot

of the bed next to the couch Clementine too took her place sleeping in the front of the windows behind the couch that's in front of our bat I put it out of my mind thinking that maybe she was just having A senior moment she is 12 years old and she's had moments where she's just barked at nothing before when I heard the sound of rustling just outside of the back door behind me m inside there's a lot of tools a workbench and a couple of old washers that we took out of the shed not long

ago to try and get rid of there's also some lawn chairs that make a very distinct sound when pushed across the concrete patio and this is the sound that I heard I know this sound because When the dogs are outside Clementine runs into them and even drags them around a lot so much so that I'll sometimes just stack them in the shed to avoid it Penny immediately starts growling again and even barking at couple of times stirring my husband I was frozen and didn't want to get up and check so I shook my husband and

told him what I'd heard both of us got up and checked the back door window by us and the large picture window in the kitchen As well as the window and the back door in there eventually he resorted to grabbing a crowbar from the tool closet inside and peeking at the kitchen back door there was nothing there he sawed and told me that it was probably just the wind blowing those chairs around around they weren't exactly heavy just those cheap white plastic ones some people have and it actually was kind of windy that night too

but I still couldn't just shake the Feeling that that wasn't it C to two nights later though it was a Friday night and my husband had gone out with a work friend I was alone browsing on my laptop when all of a sudden I heard that rustling again only this time it wasn't just the sound of the lawn chairs in the patio this time it sound of like someone was actually in the shed the laundry room behind connects directly to the shed which is actually a small carport or garage type room that we just store

All of our excess belongings in so anytime a sound is made there if you're in the living room you can actually hear it quite clearly this time not only Penny began growling but even Clementine who never growls began to follow suit and this made me nervous I called my husband and told him that I heard something in the shed and he immediately told me that he'd head home straight away and to keep the doors locked I ran to each door making sure That they were all locked when I passed the kitchen I caught a glance

at the picture window in the kitchen and I'd forgotten to close the curtains so they were open in the darkness of the backyard and against the dim glow of the light in the alley behind the fence I saw something move I froze because I had no idea what to do I didn't know how long it would be before my husband got home and I didn't want to go near the window to shut the curtains For fear of whoever was out there seeing me so I hid behind the corner by the kitchen with Penny and Clementine

in my legs as though guarding me both still growling I clutched my phone to my chest trying to remember if the back door by the kitchen was locked or not I ultimately decided that I could easily Crawl Through the other opening to the kitchen without being detected as it was out of the way of the window and led straight to the back door I got on my Hands and knees and slowly crept my way to the opening and at least from there I could clearly see the lock and maybe wouldn't have to go all the

way to it at all and this was by far my biggest mistake or possibly my Saving Grace the front door window has a clear view of where I was and it just didn't occur to me until I heard the security KN jiggle I froze and snapped my head to face the front door window in the light of the porch light I could clearly see Someone peering in at me if it was my husband he would have just come in straight away but instead whoever it was just stared I couldn't see their face as the security

kind of blurs the image through the window but either way I could tell that it wasn't my husband I didn't think I just dashed down the hall into our bedroom messy though it was with the wood and the pain cans and the rolled up carpet all over The place I knew that I could at least hide in the onsuite bathroom and lock the door while also locking the bedroom door behind me of course I immediately called the police who made me stay with them on the line while they sent an officer out my husband got

home first practically scaring the crap out of me when he knocked on the bedroom door I came out of the bedroom and unlocked the door and threw my arms around him and not long after that the police came but There was no sign of anyone outside or even in the alleyway I didn't sleep at all that night and neither did my husband he just kind of laid there with a crowbar next to him and our dogs were restless too heads and ears constantly perked up peering around like they were listening for any indication of an

intruder cut again to two nights ago though and after the whole thing with the police I had a hard time sleeping so I've pretty much ruined my sleep schedule by staying up until my eyes could literally not handle being open anymore and that night I was watching a movie trying to focus on pleas and happy films to put my mind at ease when without warning Penny began howling and barking viciously with her head stuck between the curtains of the windows behind the couch that's in front of the bed and my blood ran cold I stood

up to peig outside and the neighbors across The street were all standing in the yard talking quite loud but something just didn't seem right they all seemed to be looking in my direction and Penny was not letting up she was barking so viciously I almost didn't recognize her I mean I've never seen her so worked up I couldn't get her to stop no matter what I did so I eventually just pulled her from the window but she wouldn't have it she jumped on the chair and shoved her head between the curtains of The window by

the front door and discontinued my husband woke up and instantly went into protective man of the house mode he grabbed the Crowbar from the floor beside him walked over to the window and looked out to see what she was barking at telling me to stay behind him and when all that he saw was the neighbors he got a little bit irritated by this he'd been as stressed as I was since the whole police incident and was finally getting some decent rest But still despite what it may have appeared to be I told him maybe that

we should call the police again seeing penny that way just left me really uneasy the whole situation just seemed off at first he was reluctant saying that they wouldn't do anything if nothing had ever happened but as he said this he just went paper white and his eyes burned into the picture window in the kitchen behind me I turned around and saw three figures climbing over the Fence into the alleyway out of our yard I immediately called the cops again and my husband tore out the back door while I begged him to stay inside I

mean I didn't know if those guys had a gun or what while all we had was the Crowbar the police were there in seconds it seemed fast for them to be honest around here and luckily they caught up with all three guys who ratted out myross the street neighbors apparently according to the Officer that we spoke to these people had warrants out for their arrest on multiple offenses one was wanted for possession of drugs with the intent to sell two of the other guys had outstanding warrants for assault while the girl that lived with them

was wanted in the next state over for armed robbery which meant that it was truly a den of criminals apparently they been watching us as well as our neighbors to the left and right figuring out our schedules for When things go quiet or when we're at work trying to find a good time to break in and just steal any valuables yesterday I spoke with the neighbor on the left she's a very nice lady and she's lived next to my family for the past 14 years she told me that she thought that she heard someone breaking

into a home a couple of weeks prior and immediately installed a security system I can't help but think that this Must have deterred them from her so they may have moved on to try and Rob us our other neighbor luckily hasn't had any trouble which kind of makes me nervous though when I think about it it's been quiet since though and the house across the street was pretty much searched and the rental company emptied it out this morning it's just eily dark over there though which gives me the Spooks well I've always had a weird

fear of opening windows at night I'm kind of Grateful that I forgot to close the curtains that first night if I hadn't seen that first guy in the backyard maybe I wouldn't have tried to crawl to the kitchen door and notice the one at my front door and if we had closed the curtains on the night that they all got caught maybe my husband wouldn't have seen them all in the backyard either either way I'm just glad it's all over and no one was hurt in the end I feel a lot safer now and just

maybe I'll Finally be able to get some sleep
