Horror Stories For A Still, Spooky, And Cold Night

I've heard many stories here and I've always wondered what if I should share my story too generally I'm a very skeptical person about anything paranormal religious beliefs Concepts like auras or energies or anything like that but this story is mostly about my mother who decided to share it with me one day when I was a bit older but first I'll start with a small Anecdote of mine that I believe could be connected to this story so when I was between 5 and 8 years old I lived with my mother in my great-grandmother's old house at

the time I had many stuffed animals toys and makeup kids for kids every time I came home from school I would find my toys scattered pretty much everywhere and many of them would even go missing the most striking thing though Happened to me was when my mom asked me to go and tell my uncle who lived further back on the property that we were leaving with him in the morning in his car at the time I was unpacking one of my disorganized makeup kits after informing my uncle I returned to find the kit completely organized

I went to my mom and I asked her if she had done it she looked confused at first and I noticed a Certain sort of seriousness in her face then suddenly she smiled and said yes sweetie it was me I just wanted to play a little prank on you after that I didn't give it too much thought at the time I used to sleep with her in a big bed and one night while we were sleeping my mom got up and saw my great-grandmother putting a dish in the kitchen my mom asked her if she

had organized the makeup kit that I had spoken to her About my great-grandmother confused said that she hadn't and had been resting the entire time but something that caught my attention was when she said they've probably come back they're back my mom returned and I pretended to be asleep now the next day she took me to my grandmother's house to stay for a week and when I came back everything was normal and eventually I forgot about It but since then many strange things have happened to me but I didn't pay much attention to them I

guess you could say now here's my mother's story so not long ago she asked me if I remembered what happened with the makeup kit and I said yes of course she then told me that when she was 6 years old she lived in that same house with her grandmother my great grandmother and slept in the same room where we used to sleep her grandmother had her own room And she said that she used to hear small footsteps inside of her room every night things would be moved around clothes would disappear and objects would even go

missing now one night she felt something climb onto her bed like a cat had jumped onto it she got scared and hid under the covers when suddenly something spoke to her from the darkness it introduced itself with a very tiny voice and asked her not to Turn on the light and from that night on everything changed they visited her every night talking to her she would ask them who they were and what they wanted and these things simply said that they were her friends and had come to visit her because they liked her as the

nights went on she started to have doubts and became afraid these voices would tell her to go with them that they would take her to Beautiful places full of colors and toys over time they got closer and even began to touch her she described the hands is very tiny like a newborn baby's hands one night one of them even pulled her hair playfully and that's when she started to get really worried I kept insisting that she crawl under the bed for some reason the fear grew so much that she asked her grandmother if she could

sleep in her Room telling her that the Goblins wanted to take her away my great-grandmother who was very religious but didn't believe in fantasy agreed to sleep with her in her room eventually and while they slept these things returned and woke my mother up she could feel them pulling on her clothes trying to sort of drag her under the bed a bit she finally managed to wake her grandmother and before too long her grandmother suddenly stood up turned On the light and they both heard things scurrying around the room crying my mother explained everything that

she had heard all those nights her grandmother told her not to worry and admitted that she had heard them too she carried my mother to her own room and locked my mother's bedroom with a padlock the next morning very early they called people from the church to come And inspect the house they didn't doubt my great-grandmother too as she was considered to be a wise and truthful woman and when they moved the bed there was a hole in the floor about the size of my mother and very deep as she described it well they sealed

it with cement that day and placed wooden planks over it too when my mom told me this story I asked my great-grandmother about it while she was still alive and she Confirmed my mother's story and shared what she had heard as well from then on every time I visited that house it always gave me an eerie feeling my mom said that she was afraid these things might have come back for me since they sealed the hole they never bothered her again but I still can't explain what happened with my makeup set and all of the

stuffed animals that I've lost whatever the case may be it's a very skin crawling story isn't It I lived in a modest apartment on the top floor of an old building with nothing above me but a Dusty Attic when I moved in I thought that I was finally escaping the chaos of my old shared place the neighborhood was quiet my neighbors kept their distance and the attic overhead felt well reassuring to be honest like a buffer between me and the night sky I think I first noticed something strange one evening as I was drifting Off

to sleep in the silence I heard cautious footsteps directly above my ceiling the attic was supposed to be sealed off so I told myself that it was probably rats maybe a stray cat and I should do something about that but the next night at the exact same time the footsteps returned soft Creeks the sound of fabric brushing against wood like a body trying to move silently feeling uneasy I questioned my Landlord and he insisted no one has accessed that attic for years it's locked and empty probably just the old wood settling I wasn't convinced so

I propped a chair under the attic hatch it was secured with a heavy rusted padlock and yet the following night I woke to a gentle groan of hinges the hatch had shifted the padlock still hung there but slightly angled as if it had been opened And carefully put back my heart hammered so violently that day that I felt dizzy the next morning I bought a small camera and positioned it high on a wardrobe aiming at at the hatch that night the noises came again subtle and measured at Sunrise I replayed the footage with Trembling Hands

the hatch ited lifted a fraction and a pale grimy hand had emerged through the crack groping in the Darkness as if searching not an animals paw this was unmistakably human which meant that somebody was up there suspended in Eerie silence watching me sleep below I called the police immediately they promised to send a patrol and urg me to leave the apartment but it was late and the idea of stepping into the night honestly felt worse I grabbed a kitchen knife I barricaded my door and sat on my bed trembling and Listening around 3: in the

morning that was when I heard a scratching sound this time beneath my bed my blood turned to ice the attic was above not below so how could anyone be under my floorboards I pressed my ear to the wood and the sound repeated something or someone was crawling slithering into a space that really shouldn't exist I remembered reading that the Building once had another level that was later sealed off but could there be a hidden crawl space just large enough for a desperate deranged person to nest in I wanted to run but fear held me in

place suddenly the noises crept toward my front door I heard it strain and Creek as something tried to force it open I dialed Emergency Services voice shaking pleading for help and they said that the patrol was close and told me to stay calm then the pounding on the door Stopped silence agonizing minutes passed until the police finally arrived they searched my apartment thoroughly but there was nothing the hatches were closed no sign of a Breakin I was half crazed begging them to check the attic finally they forced the lock and inside they found old boxes

scraps of food a filthy blanket and also what seemed to be my name carved into a beam tacked to a wall were candid photos Of me as well taken from outside of my own building at different hours the officers they looked really unnerved at this they found no alternate exits no tunnels just a cramped space that honestly ReRe of stale sweat and something sinister I fled that same morning into a friend's place and the next day I returned briefly for my belongings and that was when I discovered that in my mailbox was an Unmarked envelope

inside was a single Polaroid me standing in my living room that night before talking to the police the photo it had been taken from inside of my apartment somewhere somehow this person he had outsmarted me eluded the authorities and watched me from every angle above below through the walls I once thought were solid I will never know how he slipped in and out unseen like that because I Left I'll never learn his name but to the man who lurked beneath my floorboards and in my attic if you ever hear this know that I would rather

lose my mind than ever meet you face to face don't ever come looking for me not ever this happened to me in the early 80s when I was about 14 or 15 years old so I lived on a quiet street in the suburbs of my city in a small place that you wouldn't call the countryside but close in a Spanish island of the Atlantic Ocean it was known locally back then that little girls started disappearing more often but it wasn't yet a topic of conversation between the towns and neighborhoods most of my friends lived in

the city so I would often take the bus to go and meet them that day at around 5 5 or 600 p.m. I decided to start walking to the bus stop since I was going to meet my friend that evening anyway the bus stop wasn't actually that Far from my house maybe half a mile in distance it was located on a quiet street with a few cars or people around and lined with old Street lamps and they always flickered even in the daylight I had taken this route so many times that I didn't really think

anything of it when I got there the street was dead and had no cars or nobody to be seen around so I just stood up for a few minutes waiting for my bus a while later a white van slowly Approached my direction and started slowing down right next to the bus stop I didn't think too much of it like maybe they were just parking or looking for something but then two men got out and started walking towards me one of them looked normal enough but the other man caught my attention because his face was kind

of well deformed I guess with one hollow eye socket where his left eye should have been his other eye locked onto mine and the intensity Of his gaze made me freeze on the spot before I could even process what was happening they had a hold of me one grabbed my arm with a grip so tight that it felt like my bone bones were about to snap and the other wrapped his arm around my waist dragging me towards the van neither of them said a word although to be honest their silence was worse than anything they

could have said I think I started screaming and kicking as hard as I could but there was literally Nobody that I could see around I remember I even started yelling fire fire since my mom had told me that it was like a code for people who were getting abducted it really was a horrible feeling seeing myself getting pulled closer to that van knowing that I couldn't do anything to avoid it they shoved me into the van and as I landed on the floor I saw a third man with a bandana covering his face and a

doberman that was staring at me with a disgusting Creepy face that honestly still haunts me to this day it was in that moment that I started to think that no one would help me or even hear me at all I started struggling and fighting back and I kind of managed to get them off of me for a second but they kept grabbing me and pulling me back in I also remember this distinctive metallic smell inside the van like rust or maybe blood I felt like probably the luckiest person on earth when out of nowhere my

Older brother showed up he didn't live with us at the time so coincidentally he was probably visiting us that day I don't really remember why he was there but boy was I thankful that he was he started yelling and throwing punches at the men in the struggle they let go of me and I managed to pull myself free and back away the men seemed to be caught off guard and after a few seconds of fighting they ran back to their van slammed the doors and sped Off right after that moment we ran home and I

started crying in desperation the walk home was hard since my legs were shaking non-stop I felt overwhelmed and I couldn't really process what had just happened to me people who have experienced something similar to this you know how shocked and paranoid you start feeling after it and well we reported it to the police later that night but really they they Didn't do much things like this just weren't taken very serious ious ly back then unfortunately for a bit of context this happened about 2 years ago a few weeks after my little brother was born ever

since we moved into this house there's been this small room in the basement that's always been locked to show you how little anybody uses it I still don't really know what's even in there but I've always assumed That it's just a utility room for like meters or something the room though is really tiny barely big enough to lie down in now my parents went away for a weekend together leaving me my older sister and my baby brother who was just a few weeks old at the time at home my parents trusted us to take care

of ourselves since we'd done this before plus my sister was pretty old at this time I was also pretty grown up at this Stage as well anyway that night my sister went out with some friends and wasn't planning to come back until 4:00 or 5: in the morning I watched a good movie and since it was already getting late I decided to put my little brother into bed in his room upstairs I did that as he was asleep and came back down to watch another movie but I ended up falling asleep at some stage I

would say probably about 2 or 3 Hours later around midnight I woke up to these strange noises coming from upstairs at first I thought it was just the neighbors since they can be pretty loud and the walls are thin here but then I looked at the time and I realized that it was far too late for them to still be awake let alone making that kind of noise so I got closer to the stairs to investigate and just as I was about to go up the first step I heard the sound of something metal falling

on the ground it was the key to the small room in the basement I immediately grabbed my phone and instead of calling the police I texted my friends to tell them what was happening one of my friends had the great idea of calling the police for me and suddenly I heard the bathroom door slam shut I knew that it was that door Because it makes a very specific creaking noise when it closes I remember my brother was sleeping upstairs so I carefully went up to check if he was okay thankfully he was fine and still

not fully grasping just how much danger I was in I went to the bathroom door and since it opens inwardly I decided to violently push it open and when I did this I heard a man scream I immediately shut the door and held it closed to keep him from getting Out he broke the window and outside the bathroom as this sort of balcony not a proper one but it's sort of like a tiny little area that you can stand on you get the idea but it connects to the balconies of the neighboring houses which are

really close together and he used this to escape I grabbed my brother in my arms ran to the kitchen and noticed that one of the knives was missing from the knife block I picked up another knife and Crouched in the corner of the living room crying like I never had before the police arrived I opened the door for them and when they searched the house they confirmed that the bathroom window was indeed broken and apparently I had hit the guy so hard that there was blood on the floor but the most shocking and perhaps traumatizing

part was what they found in that small basement room there were blankets cans of food And they concluded that someone had been living there for several days so an important bit of context here is that I'm an order chaplain for the order of St John a 1,000-year old Christian order it is a part of my professional role to investigate and bless areas people or buildings that have reported spiritual activity usually it's not spiritual activity it's someone letting their beliefs Cloud Their logical analysis there's almost always a logical reason but anyway I digress so these are

two of the best or least explainable stories that I have that I'd like to share with you guys the first one is really simple my wife and I were asleep and there was a really loud howl next to her on her side of the bed that woke us both up I thought that it was the dog at first but the dog was sitting there looking between her and I and it was confused Too we both heard A Long Wolf like howl right next to her and it was just very strange the other is probably the

best ghost story that I have from the job and I was blessing a house and there was a Stairway that switched directions in the middle the client had a big mirror up on that middle kind of platform I guess you could call it where the stairs switch directions now if I see feel or hear anything while blessing I never talk to the clients About it but the worst thing that you can do as a spiritual professional is affirm their beliefs on this stuff because no doubt they will be seeking evidence to justify their beliefs so

that they feel less crazy so I was blessing upstairs and when I come out of the bedroom the door of which was right off the stairs I turned to go back down and I saw a woman in a blue floral dress with really long wet brown hair standing at the base of The stairs with her back to the stairs facing the lounge and it wasn't just a brief moment I was looking at them the whole time in the mirror going down the stairs toward the middle platform I thought the client had a visitor come in

that I didn't hear about so I readed myself to greet them and ask them if I could get past when I turned the corner though they were just gone on I sort of pretended to be blessing the stairs and turned around to look into The mirror and nothing I went back to the top of the stairs but nothing there either I was talking to the client later I hadn't mentioned the woman and I told her to tell me exactly what she thinks is going on there and what she's seen she listed off a few really

um explainable things that I noted and then said oh yeah and then there this woman on the stairs who stands at the top of the stairs she always looks at me from The bedroom door she has a blue dress and really long brown hair I can't usually see any features on her face though and that is probably the only huh moment I've really dealt with I've had plenty of H this might be spiritual but I feel like I'm just missing something moments but this one was the most concrete one I've ever had because if she

had just told me about it as she just did I would have thought um Hypnogogic hallucination or something but I mean I saw it too and then she explained it I still scratched my head to be honest about this one and it's one that always sits uneasily with me anyway I'm always happy to chat and answer any questions you guys might have so feel free to drop a comment below if you're looking for advice on spiritual stuff or whatever just note too that I'm a Christian chaplain but I don't Strictly apply Christian methods I'm from

an indigenous branch of [Music] Christianity so for a little bit of context I've been working for a pizza chain in Australia for around 2 years as a delivery driver I've seen some things that you would generally expect like drunken idiots generally sus people someone even robbed me for the pizzas once rarely though have I ever had Anything else weird happened but I have had two paranormal encounters while I was on the job now the first one happened a few months in after I started I was delivering an order to a part of the town that

was further out a few houses dotted here and there I was driving along this road each side there was grass and Reed about as tall as the car which was an old 2004 Toyota Corolla it was around maybe 1 and 1/2 M tall Just under 5 ft but as I was driving down this road this thing sprinted across the road on all fours tilted its head at me while it ran and ran on through to the other side now the only way that I could describe this thing was that it had a dog head which

looked like a part of its jaw was missing in and I could see its teeth but it did look like it had dog teeth perhaps I couldn't really see the other Half of it but whatever it was it didn't have fur or anything like that it also did not have a tail and its skin looked like it belonged to a human perhaps it had what I presumed to be cuts and dirt marks around its neck but it did move way too fast to see the rest of its body so I can't be totally sure when

the headlights hit it its eyes were this creamy white color it came around just at the start of the wind screen when looking at it which would Have made it around 80 or so cm tall maybe around 2' 7 the way that it ran though was really strange as well almost like it was Galloping I want to say it lifted its back feet up to its front and sprung itself forward with its upper body I did some research into the area that I live in and there aren't too many paranormal encounters or alleged Cryptids or

anything and nothing matched its description at All I also asked one of my friends who was indigenous and he couldn't think of any legends that matched what I described granted indigenous populations are pretty sparse in Australia and it's hard to find someone who is traditionally from the area that you live in particularly in my region so if anyone has any possible ideas on this event I would really love to know the next encounter happened around two or so months after the previous one So I was delivering a pizza to the more Suburban part of the

city this street that I was on was pretty much if you looked up One Direction you would be facing a soccer field and if you look the other you would be facing this graveyard I finished delivering this order and I got this sudden I don't know like an intense feeling of like being watched so I pretty much Sprint back to the car and hop inside locking the doors behind me I looked behind me which would Have been facing the cemetery there's nothing there I start up the car and go to readjust the rearview mirror because

I accidentally bumped it with one of those insulated food cells on the way in I looked into the rearview mirror and that's when I saw standing behind me from maybe around 2 m or so it was this tall dark figure seeing that I instantly sped off and I didn't look Back I also had one other experience while driving in the same area but this one happened when I was off the job actually I was driving back home from a town close by and this road has some areas which are reasonably wooded like you can can

still see what's out there but it's just that there's still a few trees around and it can be a little difficult at times but I was at one of these areas when suddenly out of nowhere this woman in this really long white Dress walked out onto the road and just stopped right in front of me I instantly slammed my brakes I knew that I was going to miss her as she was still around 10 m or so in front of me and I was already going fairly slow because it was a wet Road luckily however

before I fully stopped she just completely vanished she was gone nothing was left behind at all honestly the best way that I can describe it it was like someone was edited out of a video and Just cut her out it was like a blink and she was just gone if anyone has any ideas about any of these encounters but especially the first one I would really really love to hear from you so I used to live in Nova Scotia Canada more specifically in the SRO catch Harbor area and if you've ever been around this area

you've probably heard of SRO Island and it's absolutely beautiful lighthouse and very cool History my first time hearing this story and the actual story itself takes place on this island I'll try to tell you exactly how the story goes based off of what I remember so way back when the lighthouses still needed lightkeepers to stay running often times there would be on the islands for months before returning home because of that and also the living conditions on the island the things like Insanity depression paranoia loneliness and even suicide were unfortunately quite common I'm not sure

exactly when this takes place but I do know that it was in the 1700s or maybe early 1800s so the active Light Keeper on the island was as you can imagine depressed lonely and always super tired due to the requirement that they wake up multiple times a night to make sure that the light stays on at all Times eventually he couldn't stand his life anymore and unfortunately he himself from the railing of the spiral staircase inside of this Lighthouse his body unfortunately stayed there for many months before they sent a ship out to pick him

up to take him home of course all they found was a pretty big mess and his body was removed and given a proper sea burial however it took much longer to remove the horrible stench that had come From the whole event because it was all over the wooden stairs and railings of the lighthouse but once the smell had finally subsided they sent another lightkeeper out to take the man's place however it only took 2 weeks for this lightkeeper to take the boat that they had supplied him they now realized was a good idea and flee

from the island out of fear according to the man he would often Smell cigarette smoke and the smell of rot at the top of the lighthouse and around other parts of the island where the men had never even been apparently he caught glimpses of the Dead Light Keeper with a lantern roaming the island and around the Lighthouse at all hours of the day of course the common loneliness and paranoia in addition to these occurrences was enough to drive him mad and so he fled the Island it is said to this day that if you visit

that island and get the feeling that you're being watched well you most likely are and you should leave immediately however if you don't leave fast enough or do something to irritate the lightkeeper there's a good chance that you may smell cigarette smoke on your boat even after you've left the [Music] island this happened over a decade ago When I was 12 years old I live in a small town in Oklahoma and in my neighborhood the houses are fairly spread apart separated by Woods it was a school day so my grandma picked me up from school

and brought me home that day this was the first year that I got dropped off at my house alone because before this I would just go to my grandma's house after school I would get dropped off at around 3:00 p.m. and my parents would be home at around 4:30 Not that big of a deal well today for some reason my dad wasn't going to be home until later around 700 and my mom who was a teacher wouldn't be home until around 8:00 p.m. because she had parent teacher conferences at school that day this happened in

the early fall so it wouldn't even be dark until at least 8:30 so I did what I usually did when I get home I ran upstairs got on my Xbox 360 and just played some Minecraft with My friends today it was just me and my friend Seth and I was playing for about 2 hours when I heard a car door shut in my driveway no one should have been here until like 7:00 p.m. at least my house is set up to where my upstairs is Windows that look over my driveway so with my mic on

and controller in hand I went to the window to see who it was I mean maybe my dad Had got home earlier than expected or something I looked outside side it was a red truck no what I know drives a red truck well the person pulled into the middle of my driveway but the weird thing is that he was sideways like he owned the place when I looked out the window I saw a man with a hat wearing a big camo hoodie and jeans it was September so no one should Have been wearing a big

hoodie and jeans in Oklahoma at this stage by the time that I looked he was already almost out of view going up to my walkway to my front door I thought maybe it was one of my dad's friends or something or someone my dad hired to do something but he would usually tell me if someone was going to be coming over well soon after I hear a knock at the door then another so I go to my other window that was a better view of The walkway up to my front door and I see this

guy walking back down the walkway I switch and go back to Looking Through the Windows overlooking my driveway I'm relaying all of this to Seth mind you still on the mic with me I tell Seth that he's walking back to his truck now instead though he walks past his truck and suddenly tries to open my garage side Door at this point my heart instantly sinks I tell Seth that this guy just tried to get into my house he's trying to break break in mind you it's literally broad daylight at like 5:00 p.m. luckily it was

locked because sometimes we do forget to lock it but this day we hadn't after he tried the door he starts walking to my back patio I instantly drop my headset and I quietly run down the stairs to see what he was doing I Get downstairs and stand behind the wall so that I'm not visible from the back door or living room windows and I just listen I hear him try to open the door then I hear a thud it sounded like he maybe dropped a brick on the ground or something at this point I'm more

scared than I've ever been I wanted to call my parents or Grandma but I didn't have a cell phone yet the only phone in the house was in my kitchen and I would have To cross my living room to get there and he would definitely be able to see me if I went into there a few seconds after the thug I peaked around the corner and he was gone I run back upstairs and put my headset back on telling Seth that he just tried to open the back door as well as I'm telling this I

hear a car door shut and this time when I look out the window he seems to have finally gotten into his Truck I looked at the truck closer and I noticed that the only thing that he has in his truck bed was a crowbar and a shovel he sat in his truck for what felt like a few minutes and during this time Seth told me to get my iPod out and take a picture of his license plate problem was though is that he was parked sideways so I couldn't really see it then he drove backwards

out of my driveway and down the road so fast that I just couldn't get a Picture a few minutes after he was confirmed gone I went downstairs to see what the thud could have been I get to the back door and I can see that the doormat was moved both big plant pods had been moved as well which means that he was definitely looking for a key we do have a hidden key back there too the key to the back door was under one of the smaller pots on a Ledge near the door not the

bigger ones that he had Checked under I went to the front porch and all of those pots were looked under as well because they' definitely been moved truly I counted my blessings that day genuinely I really don't know what I would have done if he would have found that key or if he had just broken in after he left I quickly called my dad and told him what had happened when my dad got home he had a cop come over and I told him what happened and gave him a Description thankfully the guy never came

back but I also don't think that they ever caught him either this past Monday I went to bed with my girlfriend we had stayed up watching TV till early hours of the morning and went to sleep at around 3:00 or 4: a.m. I lay in bed for ages trying to fall asleep but I struggled Not Unusual for me at some point though I started to feel very uneasy and just had this Overwhelming feeling come over me I started to feel like I was drifting into sleep paralysis but I could still move in fact I deliberately

kept moving around to avoid sleep paralysis but this feeling grew stronger and stronger and I could hear noises outside of the bedroom and in the dark room I could see what I could only describe as a shape I couldn't quite make out what it was though and I felt like something was with Me I tried to fight this feeling for a few minutes before I gave up as I felt whatever it was right there next to me I started to hear weird noises and what sounded like throat singing or vocalization by Native Americans or something

similar I then set up and worked my girlfriend up I suddenly felt a strong sense of dread then I experienced what felt like a strong vibrating or magnetic force trying to pull me up at the same time I Was what I can only describe as spoken to In My Mind by various different voices which sounded like vibratory robotic voices these voices were telling me to let go and come with them when I closed my eyes I could see the shapes of your typical alien gray as well as other shapes that I couldn't make out and

was too scared to focus on these voices though were telling me that they can share power knowledge and Enlightenment Of which I cannot begin to comprehend I had a strong gut feeling not to trust these entities or whatever was going on I'm a devout Muslim and I started reciting quranic verses in my head and the Declaration of my faith these entities they didn't seem to like this and made the vibrating feeling and the feeling of dread 10 times worse they told me that there's higher entities I also asked my girlfriend to play the Quran in

the background which Started to sound very distorted all of a sudden while all of this was going on my heart was racing to a beat that I had never felt before and I could feel it literally pounding in my chest my head was pounding and my eyes were really sore all of a sudden too during this experience I was questioning if I was beginning to lose my mind as you can imagine I am of sound mind though and I've never had any psychotic or manic episodes or Ever shown signs of any mental illness after this

episode my comprehension of time though was really distorted for about 24 hours what I mean is that I stayed in bed after this for the whole day and I didn't realize how much time had gone by I also had a crushing headache which is only just eased today my eyes felt really sore like the pain that I experienced after laser eye surgery and the tip of my nose was also very sore as Well as dried blood in my nose after the experience but this also brings up another thing it had me thinking about the time

that I had sleep paralysis a few years ago it was a proper sleep paralysis and it was of a 4ot tall typical alien gray shaped figure visiting me this new experience it has me questioning whether that sleep paralysis was well sleep paralysis at all or something else or if it's somehow Related at all since this experience I have been very disassociated I've barely left my room and just feel well generally uneasy I guess you could say I have this fear that it's going to happen again and I do believe that I was visited by something

whether extraterrestrial demonic or something else I really don't know but it definitely has me questioning everything Ever since I've always believed my house was normal nothing strange or creepy about it mostly because it's a relatively new building I suppose built in the '90s and I live alone I liked the idea of not having neighbors too close so I chose a house in a more isolated area but for the past few weeks there's been something happening here that I can't explain it all started one night when Around 2:00 a.m. I just sort of woke up Suddenly

there was no noise but I had that strange feeling of not being alone I turned toward the door of my bedroom and that was when I noticed it the closet door down the hallway was slightly a jar now I always make a habit of closing every door in the house before going to bed just to avoid waking up and seeing half open doors in the dark that creep me out so I thought maybe I had Forgotten to close it even though I felt a little bit uneasy by it in the end I decided to get

up and shut it and just sort of forget about it I closed it properly this time pulling it until I heard the click of the latch I went back to bed trying not to think about it but it took a while before I finally fell back asleep now the next night the same thing happened around two in the morning I wake up again and the closet doors open Again even though I had definitely closed it this time I got a chill down my spine but I tried to rationalize it maybe I hadn't closed it properly

in the following days though the situation worsened every single night I woke up at the same time and every night that door was open no matter how carefully I closed it so one evening I decided to place a chair against the door so I could hear It if anything moved but when I woke up I found that the chair had definitely shifted and the door was now slightly open there were no signs of forced entry no animals or strong winds that could have moved it and every night always at the same time that door keeps

opening I cannot sleep anymore and I'm starting to think that maybe I'm really not alone in this house [Music] So I was just driving home from hanging out with some friends and I saw a stray dog trotting up the street it was about 10:45 p.m. and I've always been an avid animal lover spending my childhood begging my parents to let me help stray animals or take them home and now that I'm an adult I have my own dog but carry extra dog food and a lead in my car just in case I happen to across

a puppet need now this dog was running down a pretty busy Road and then turned onto a Side street so I decided to stop to see if I could get it to come to me with some food I called it and it definitely looked interested for a moment I dropped some food on the sidewalk but then it took off I got back into my car and turned left at the next street and then left again to get back onto the main road I see the dog again and it's moving more slowly now so I think

maybe there's a better chance that I can get it to come to me I stop again and as I'm Getting out of my car a large Suburban Drives By I stare at them directly because I'm worried they won't see the dog and they might actually hit them I lose sight of the dog while I'm watching the Suburban which then turns around they pull up next to my parked car and stop I walk one to two steps forward waiting for them to roll down their passenger window but the guy rolls down the driver side window opposite

inside and I ask hey uh sorry to bother You but is that your dog he says something IND discernable and then gets out of the vehicle and I realize that he's actually wearing a ski mask he says what are you doing I saw you outside of my house to clarify I never left the road or the sidewalk at all I hold up my bag of dog food and lead and say uh there was a dog and I was was trying to get it to come to me at the same time I move towards my car

and open the door with my hand on The lock as he's moving toward me the dude then hustles back into his suburban and basically peels out of there turns off the street without stopping at the stop sign I don't know what his intentions were but I'm genuinely grateful to be home and on the couch with my dog now I hate that I feel stupid and regretful for trying to do a kind task of help help an animal in need I feel like it's going to deter me from doing it again in The future in fact

I don't want to tell my Fon or friends about it because they'll probably tell me that I shouldn't have stopped but how is this world ever going to become a better place if everyone just stops doing good deeds out of [Music] fear it was around 9 or 10 p.m. and I male and 16 was skateboarding at a skate park around 5 minutes away from my house I don't have a car yet so I usually just Skate there and usually I do have to deal with some creepy or strange people because well I live in Las

Vegas Nevada and in a not great part of town so that's pretty much a common thing here now this night I went alone and there was only one other person at the park who I had met there for the first time we had a pretty good time and we skated for around maybe about an hour just me and him but eventually a guy with a child came walking into the skate Park and he came up to us the first weird thing that I noticed though is that the child that he had had no shoes and

was wearing pants and a t-shirt even though it was pretty cold outside even for me with a hoodie on another thing that was strange too was that he had what seemed to be a gun with him him I noticed the guy had some tattoos and was around 6ot maybe but this guy first starts talking to the guy that I was skating with and tells him That he cuts hair and if he ever needs a barber to hit him up my friend says thanks and then he walks over to me and says the same thing I

just say oh all right thank you and thought that he would leave but no he asks if his son could try my board I was a little hesitant at first but I said all right I mean the child didn't seem to want to even try he had to pick him up by his arms and put him on it eventually though the child stands on it And is trying it while he's doing that the guy turns to me and repeats himself saying that he's a barber and that he's just here with his nephew I thought it

was really weird though that he had just said that he was his son first and now he's saying that this kid's his nephew well skipping ahead like 10 minutes my friend leaves me there and the guy is still there he asks me to do a trick for his nephew and while I'm doing it forces Him to watch by holding his head in place towards me after I do it he repeats himself again saying that he's a barber if I ever need a cut and that he's here with his son I then sort of confront him

and say didn't you say that he was your nephew two week he says oh yeah sorry I get it confused sometimes my bad I just shrug it off and tell him that I need to go he then says yeah his Dad's coming to pick us up now anyway so I'm leaving and I look back and he's getting into a car I'm not actually going home yet obviously I was just skating to McDonald's to have something to eat but I then see the car drive off but instead of going in the opposite direction he goes the

same way that I'm going to the St McDonald's he comes up to me again and says hey what a weird coincidence I was hungry too or something like That at that point there was something sus going on so I just leave but not before he repeats himself again and asks for my number but I say no thanks and I just get out of there he was a really weird guy and I wonder if that kid would was even his kid in the end I don't know what was going on but the whole situation just seemed

really sus for a little bit of backstory I a 19-year-old female used to live in Western Australia Perth with my mother and my stepfather this story happened when I was in year five I was about 10 years old moving was rather difficult for me in year four a new place a new school new siblings but I was finally away from the abuse and the torture of my old home so I was pretty thankful for that thankfully too after a year things Got a bit easier for me while my mental health was still a bit of

an issue I was settling in nicely with this new school just a few months before my birthday in year five my class in another year five class they organized an Excursion to freem manal prison as a history lesson in some sense while I was nervous because it wasn't a place that I was familiar with I had my friends to lean on if I was a bit Overwhelmed once we arrived on the bus the tour guide took us through the old prison I was honestly amazed at the history in the layout it was truly a pretty

interesting place eventually the guide took us to the second floor and we stopped on the side as the guide taught us about the safety nets that were in between the stairs and how it was in place because the inmates apparently they would attempt to either self-d delete or Others by pushing or jumping off the guard rails as he was talking about it I sort of subconsciously looked to the side being the Curious 10-year-old that I was down the Halls where the cells were for those who know about freem mantle prison you might also know that

it's said to be haunted by inmates that had died there in the past well as I looked down the hall holding my friend's hand because I was a Little bit overwhelmed by the amount of people that were there I noticed something a person I don't just mean a shadow too a whole person he was middle-aged maybe around 45 to 50 but the weirdest thing is that this guy was completely naked well except for some white underwear and had a large wound on his head we sort of stared at each other for a good 10 seconds

before he walked into A cell and just disappeared from sight but the cell doors were shut he shouldn't have been able to do that which means that he must have just phased through the door I was horrified I held my friend's hand Tighter and shuffled so I was stood behind them what's wrong they asked their voice soft and kind like always I didn't respond I mean even if I wanted to my voice just wouldn't come Out my friend stared at me for a moment before sighing I'm guessing they assumed I was a little bit shaken

by the whole inmate self- deltion thing and wrapped their arm around my shoulders keeping me close now I know my mental state back then was pretty terrible and I had and still do have some hallucinations due to trauma I went through but I genuinely believe that that must have been something else my hallucinations were never and Are never that detailed anytime I see a person it's usually just sort of a shadow but this guy looked completely real I've never talked about this with well anyone not even my therapist because honestly just thinking about it makes

me paranoid I came here to tell you guys this story because it seemed like a place that I could share it and I really really needed to get it off of my Chest when I male in 25 was little three or four my family lived in a city with many historic buildings and houses that were built in the late 1800s our house it was one of these historic buildings so there were a lot of public records available for it and that will be relevant later and the house was even featured as a part of the

local historical bus tour at one stage in this house there was a room on the second floor which was always colder Than in every other room in the house my parents said that this was due to the room being in addition and subsequently having poorer insulation but I'm really not sure if that's actually true the room was small and square and stuck out from the side of the house so it had windows on three walls while we lived there this room was designated as my playroom and all of my toys were kept in there well

I used to Tell my parents parents about how a little girl often came to play with me I described to them that she had brown hair a white dress with poofy sleeves and that she was my age and would come in through the window again though the room was on the second floor I'm not sure what my parents thought of this at the time probably chalked it up to my overactive imagination but a year or so later we were living in a new house in a new city And my parents were doing some scrapbooking they

had got an old newspaper clip and other documents about the house from these local public records and at one point my mom was looking at an old newspaper clipping of the original family who owned the house and I pointed over her to the daughter in the picture and said to my mom that's the little girl that played with me I saw my family a few days ago at Thanksgiving and was reminded of this While reminiscing this is one of two major paranormal events that have happened to me in my life so far this was from

like 20 years ago now but it definitely still sticks with [Music] me this first happened in late 2023 I was coming home from a tattoo appointment at about 8:00 p.m. and my boyfriend was at work it was really quiet in the house as only one other Roommate was still awake I went into my room to greet my cat and lay down for a bit and as I was changing my clothes I heard a distinct rhythmic breathing coming from under my bed it was so clear and so humanlike I turned off my music and texted my

boyfriend to tell him that I was afraid that someone may be in our room and had broken in he pointed out that there's no way that a human could fit under our bed there was nobody in the closet or Anywhere else in the room when I was changing but I still heard the same distinct inhale and exhale for another hour or so at least my cat was even acting weird like she could hear it too I stayed on the bed and turned the TV volume up so that I couldn't hear it as well until I

finally couldn't hear it at all my boyfriend believed me and understood why I was creeped out fast forward to early 2024 I was visiting my friend out of town and he texted me to tell me that he could hear it too the same inhale and exhale steady and humanlike he said that it was definitely coming from under the bed we've both heard it once or twice more through the course of this year and it is unsettling whatever it [Music] is so I was dating a guy twice my my age who I worked at a grocery

store with he Had a side job with a morg where he picks up bodies on call he takes them to said morg and does paperwork tags them and puts them in the freezer basically genuinely too I thought what he did was pretty admirable because someone needs to do it right and death is a bit of a touchy subject and if you can handle this sort of thing then I respect it he made himself out to be a really great person too who cares about people And wants to be that guy who can get the hard

stuff done in a caring manner unfortunately though he turned out to be far far from that so later on I found out that the morg also does these funeral services and stuff and because of this there's little rooms with chairs and such also an office and one night we were supposed to hang out and he asked me to meet me at the morg this was in the middle of the night nobody else was there I Figured that we'd meet up and leave to get some food or just talk in his car like usual but instead

he wanted me to come inside this night he showed me around the little rooms in the office it was kind of cool like being in a horror video game sort of then he told me to wait and he left me in the office after a few minutes he texted me and he gave me some directions and told me to come into a room that I hadn't Been in yet it was the room where they kept all the bodies ready for the freezer and do the paperwork I didn't know so I went inside and there was

a dead body just out in the open in the middle of the room on a gurnie I literally froze in the doorway because I was not expecting this I felt like I should be upset but he thought that it was funny in the end I was sort of freaked out and Just kind of played it cool he wanted me to look at it it was an old lady I've seen plenty of stuff on the internet so I thought to myself this wasn't as messed up as it was at the time he finished up and then

took me into the freezer to show me other bodies there were like six in there in body bags only one other one was unzipped he also showed me the oven where they C mated the bodies this was all in the middle of the Night mind you no warning on my part nobody else in the building and I kind of just blocked out the memory for a couple of months after it happened I started having some other issues with this guy and I ended up telling the story to a friend and my friend helps me realize

that that whole situation was just really messed up I just thought that I'd share this with you guys too because since then I've had some issues with this dude and I finally have him blocked on everything but this whole situation is going from creepy exboyfriend to stalker Vibes pretty quickly hopefully he leaves me alone but if he doesn't then I'll be sure to let you guys know it's surprising it may be this is one of those stories that I forgot about until well a few days ago when I was talking to a school friend on

call and I was reminded of this she was pretty Freaked out when I told her and so she recommended that I share it here so here I am so this happened when I was roughly maybe 7 or 8 so some of the details are a little bit fuzzy but I do remember the main parts pretty vividly this may seem like unimportant context as well but my family had just moved to America and were renting the top portion of your regular Suburban House in a pretty safe culde saac I had some Friends they were triplets about

three or four houses down from us it really wasn't that far at all and every day I would hang out with them around 9: or 10 in the night my older brother around 11: or 12 at the time would make the 2-minute walk and come and get me and walk me home home since I was pretty young one night he came to get me as usual the sun wasn't fully down but it was getting pretty dark we started down the walk as normal when he started Casting glances over his shoulder I didn't really notice as

well until he shoved me hard away from the sidewalk and in between two houses each house had a huge fence that separated their backyard not ours though and he made me Crouch behind the fence I remember suddenly being really scared but also confused since I hadn't no idea what the heck was going on more specifically he was a pretty big prankster once he even convinced me that My older sister had actually crashed her car into the ocean so I didn't really believe him when he turned and said walk behind the houses I think somebody might

be following us looking back now he was probably trying to keep me calm but whatever calm was left in my tiny 8-year-old body was gone the moment that I turned around and looked the man had followed us behind the houses and he was just by the edge Of a few houses down near a different fence line he had a black hoodie on with the hood up black sweatpants and white sneakers I have pretty bad eyesight now due to some health problems but back then it was absolutely crystal clear and I could see with horrifying Clarity

that his jaw was sort of hung open like he was just sort of standing there with his jaw hung open it was horrifying and I think now that I'm older maybe he had some kind of medical Condition that affected his jaw or maybe he did crack or something I don't know but back then I could have sworn on God that I was seeing some kind of a demon anyway my brother when he saw me looking and getting really freaked out told me to just run as fast as I can to our house and so we

absolutely booked it neither of us looked back but we were scared out of our minds and like I said we only rented the top portion of the house so The bottom with the sliding door in the backyard belonged to some other tenant at the time I don't remember if she was home or not but I remember tugging that thing open and locking it as fast as as I could and when I looked up he was there in our yard a little ways away from the door staring at us me and my brother told my sister

and my mother immediately my father was away on a work trip at the time but in the end nothing Really came of it well not until the day after at least you see we went to go and meet my dad at his Warehouse which had a small live-in portion of above it where he lazed around until he was ready to head home with us around dusk he came up and told us that we might have to wait since the police were there for some reason we walked us around to the back window of the small

area to show the police all around the backyard area of The warehouses and there were a few in line to a white van parked on the grass by the edge of the woods like I said I was pretty young so I don't remember many details of what actually happened but I do remember my dad who hadn't been told about the day prior telling us that they found a man in a woman in the van the man he said had his mouth hung wide open he seemed really Disturbed telling me about the whole thing and wouldn't

Answer any more questions about the woman maybe she was dead I've got zero idea but I do know that they were arrested on trespassing charges apparently I don't really know anything else about it and I haven't asked about it either and I doubt that he would actually remember it it's been over a decade and he's pushing 70 now but the whole situation just really freaks me out to this Day I still cannot believe it happened and I don't have any answers for it I talked to my brother briefly about it in the hopes that he

remembered more than I do but all I got was a long tiate about whatever medical condition the guy probably had for his mouth to be like that he's one of those annoying medical students now but sometimes I think maybe he didn't mean any harm and was just drugged out of his mind or something but this was like in the world's safest Neighborhood and also doesn't explain why or how he showed up at my dad's workplace as well plus if he didn't have any nefarious intentions why did he follow a couple of kids home so late

at [Music] night so some background first at the time of this event I was 20 and a firefighter for the US Army everybody is always shook when I say That but army bases are basically walled in cities and like any other City they require firefighters anyway my best friend was in my unit with me and for the sake of this retelling we'll call him Jay Jay and I were on a 48h hour on and 72-hour off schedule and being two young idiots with more free time than safe we developed some pretty dumb Hobbies the biggest

of which was actually Urban Exploration now this had nothing to do with the supernatural as neither of us had any belief in anything Supernatural whatsoever and simply enjoyed the exploration it sort of felt like being a an archaeologist except one of recent history I guess the place that we were stationed in the US was full of abandoned buildings too or even entire towns within a few hours drive for well over a year we broke into And explored literally hundreds of abandoned structures with absolutely no Supernatural happenings and it grew to be all that we could

really think about we spent all of our free time exploring or trolling the forums looking for new places to see and it was on one of these forums that I came across a post about a town and I mean a Tiny Town that apparently had an abandoned colonial style Mansion I showed Jay this post and we Decided this Mansion would be our next exploration so we drove the two hours from our duty station to this little town and found a town that consisted of three streets one gas station one County tornado shelter and well that's

about it I'm talking super Tiny Town in the middle of the woods in the southeast United States well we went into the gas station and asked the clerk about the Mansion but she claimed to never have heard of It I should point out at this point as well that the entire town just gave off a really bad Vibe as a former skeptic I realized how dumb that really sounds but I just really felt I don't know threatened or maybe oppressed is the better way to say it something like that by the entire Place for no

real reason the couple people that we spoke to they were nice enough and the place while perhaps a bit Southern poor meth Vish was far from the worst area that we Had entered in search of an abandoned place to explore the only thing that I noticed odd about the town though was for as small as it was there were like five churches in the town not super abnormal for the Bible Belt I guess but none of the churches bore classic Christian iconography like crosses or such they also had slightly odd names like Church of the

light and other sort of slightly obscure non- denominational names again Not that weird but a little bit strange anyway the first of the weirdness started after we checked into the hotel that we had booked about 15 Mi away in the nearest decent sized city and came back after dark any veteran Urban Explorer knows to go in after dark and not use Bright Lights until you're inside the building unless you want the locals calling the cops on you so Jay and I drove all around the town for maybe over an hour which is Pretty impressive considering

it was Woods a few fields and three streets looking for the Mansion but we just never found it we finally parked into the only large parking lot there the tornado shelter while we had a smoke and bemoon the fact that we had wasted time on a false lead we noticed a group of five people walking down the side of the road in our direction again not too odd but it got really strange when these five entered The circle of light created by one of the only five street lights in that town all in the parking

lot of this County tornado shelter and didn't become any clearer to see I realized that that doesn't sound that scary but picture this it's around midnight give or take about half an hour and someone is walking up to a lit area while they approach they are sort of hard to make out because you're looking at them from an illuminated area into a Dark area they would be hard to see right night vision being what it is and disrupted by the light that you're standing in as well nothing OD about that but when these five walked

into the light that I was parked under all five did not become illuminated again I know that that doesn't really sound all that scary in the telling but seeing five human-shaped dark patches standing directly under a street light where anyone even someone With a dark complexion and black clothing would have at least had some detail was we weird and terrifying to see I don't mean that this was a dark person in dark clothing standing in the light what I mean is this was somehow five person-shaped patches of like pure black standing in a well lit

area not even 10 to 15 ft from us the light had literally no effect on them well at that point Jay and I said to heck with this and we just hauled but Out of that town now that was odd and would have been scary enough but the second and final Supernatural effect of my visit were the dreams I would like to again remind you guys that I never saw the mansion with my own eyes Jay and I however spent nearly a year having the same nightmares about a mansion that again I shouldn't be able

to really say was there the dream starts with me walking down a path of in the forest for a few Seconds before I enter into a clearing and see an old but well-kept three-story white wood Victorian style house with a white wood wraparound deck and large wood columns I walk up the dirt path to Three Wood steps up onto a porch and then up to the green painted double doors I suddenly feel sick to my stomach in this place and feel like something wants me to come inside really badly but at the same time I'm

100% certain that I Should not enter into this house eventually I open the Right double door and all I can see inside of the house is Pitch Black then I wake up now I know that that dream is weird and look I get it it's just a dream but when you really live through something like this and it's not a fictional story it's a really sort of eerie thing to to go through I had that exact same Nightmare and felt the exact same pool tour place That I very much should not enter for almost exactly

a year after I went into that godforsaken town it was scary enough on its own for me but it wasn't until a slightly drunken conversation with Jay a couple of years later after I went to visit him as our army duties had taken us to different places in the world that he would mention something about the dreams obviously I asked him what he meant and he would describe the exact same Nightmare for almost the exact same amount of time that I had experienced and well that's pretty much it I still have the dreams once in

a while but for whatever reason it's always in that town and I'm 100% certain that there is a mansion there somewhere and something lives in it those events took place over 10 years ago now and I have a different life now I'm out of the army and I am far too old and far too busy with family matters to Do Urban exploration anymore but every now and then I still think about it and I get the bug to go and do it again I think that that thing it wanted me to find the mansion and

kept trying to get me to come back to it really who knows right all I do know is that that I will never be going back to that Podunk little [Music] town this felt truly like something out Of a horror movie I'm sharing this to look for possible answers of closure and I have since told the police about this and the police asked me why I didn't call them as it was happening so me and my friend we were in a dark car park by a lake in my city the lake is surrounded by various

car parks and trees and the closer you get to the lake the further you are from the main road which takes you out of the wooded area my friend and I were parked maybe 5 M from the lake with the car facing the lake we were sat there listening to music and just chatting for about 10 minutes with me in the driver's seat but the ignition of and all of a sudden my friend who was looking at out of my driver side window says to me is that a man standing there I laugh and look

ahead and all I see is the dark Lake in front of me and so I say no but he points his finger at my driver side Window I turned my head and I see a man with a cat mask covering the top half of his face standing about 10 m away staring at me and not moving I immediately am extreme extremely freaked out as you can imagine the way that he was standing and staring at us through the mask was so unnerving too I immediately start my car as quick as I could to which this

man starts running towards my driver's side door at Full speed thankfully my doors were locked and he stood no chance against my car but just as we breathed the sigh of relief that the car was now moving we then see a white Ute following closely behind my car now as I've mentioned we are in this wooded area with dirt roads and several turns which I was not familiar with each turn that we made which were all wrong turns unfortunately the car would follow us but we were screaming the whole way And not sure what they

wanted from us eventually the worst thing that possibly could have happened happened and I make the wrong turn into a deadend car park the white UD parks on an angle essentially blocking me in at this point I'm genuinely fearing for my life and the masked man appears from the forest coming at my car quickly I drive around nearly hitting him and just manag to weasel past the Ute parked on an angle I finally drove out of there going the Right way and getting back onto the main road now the scarious part to me about all

of this is wondering what they wanted from us it felt like more than a prank considering the whole car P Shute and attempted to block us in and all that I don't know what kind of weapons they had in the car but I'm pretty confident that there was something in there I thought that it was possibly an attempted carjacking but if that was the case I feel like there would have been More efficient means of doing so which says to me that they were up to something even worse than that when I was around 10

or 11 years old I had a friend whose house that I would stay at frequently now there was one day in particular that my older sibling my friend and I had decided to have a sleepover where we all slept on the couch the couch had this u-shaped layout so my friend slept on the left side of The couch I slept in the middle of the couch and my siblings slept on the right right side my friend's house had this ledge type area that looked into the kitchen almost like diners have and from where I was

laying I had the perfect view of the back door if I just propped myself up a bit so I woke up the earliest that morning around 5 or 6 but it was summer so the sun was just starting to rise I could see Outside Pretty clearly at this Point when out of nowhere not long after I woke up I I hear three knocks at the back door nothing weird about the knocks other than the fact that it was on the back door at like 5 or 600 in the morning but my friend's sibling was staying

out in the garage so my immediate thought was he must have locked himself out or something I look up though and there's nobody at the door I even get up to look out the Window better from a distance and there's nobody there I start to get a bit weirded out at this point so might go lay back down and try to forget about it but a minute or so later there are three knocks again but this time they're really slow I look up and still nobody I don't get up at this point because I'm pretty

freaked out another minute goes by and I hear a sort of scraping sound really long Eerie scrapes At the door almost as if someone or something is dragging long nails down the door this time I don't even look up because I'm about to soil myself I sat there and listened for some time but nothing happened after that and I just still can't stop thinking what was at that door and what if I had opened it could that have just been a prank or something could that have just been a prank or Something it's been 8

years since then and I still think about it a lot I should add to that later on I asked my friend if her brother was out there to see if by chance it could have been him pulling a prank on us but she confirmed that her brother was staying with his girlfriend I wouldn't put it past her to lie but still she didn't seem to be lying and honestly I I don't know what was going on that morning This is actually my grandmother's story so my grandmother slept with her bedroom door closed and lamp on

all the time and one night she woke up and saw an Asian woman in a greenk knit sweater standing at the foot of her bed staring at her in typical Italian fashion my grandmother began cursing and screaming for this woman to leave as in the moment she didn't suspect they're Supernatural or anything but had actually suspected that this strange woman had broken into Her house keeping eyes on her she got up out of bed and grabbed the woman by the wrist and began shaking her she was screaming in her face to leave or she was

going to call the police she said that she could smell the lady's perfume though and she was wearing what appeared to be a hospital bracelet on one of her wrists the Asian lady didn't react to any of this and just sort of stared at her grandma backed away from what she Thought now was a crazy person to to her nightstand where she turned for a brief moment to pick up the phone and dial l911 and when she turned to face the strange woman she had just vanished that's when she noticed that her bedroom door was

still shut she remained in her bedroom until the police arrived they searched the entire house and found no signs of forced injury after the police left she Realized that this woman was never looking at her but was looking through her the entire time my grandmother lived in this house for decades until her death other than this experience the only other paranormal thing she would talk about was that she would get these whiffs of perfume or cigar smoke these happened both before and after this incident and I should know too that she was a smoker although

she Certainly didn't smoke cigars after her death my family and I spent several days cleaning out her house it was a rental and as we did this we too would get these whiffs of like perfume and cigar smoke all throughout that house so was it the Paranormal or just residual smells from a woman who smoked and lived in that house for almost 40 years Grandma's story is a bit creepy but I don't know maybe she just Hallucinated something that night or maybe she actually did see something [Music] thing so where I live there is a

local folklore about a man-eating demon called a ghoul in our village it is said that they live in graveyards and eat the Flesh of dead humans who didn't live a righteous life but sometimes they take the form of a beautiful woman or crying child trying to attract people at night and eat them Alive it's a pretty well-known story we've been hearing it since childhood though I personally never believed it I mean Gins exist but they can't hurt humans in normal circumstances one day I went to see a performance in a neighboring village with my friend

Aman by the time the performance ended it was almost midnight so we started coming back home and on the way back we Had to cross an old graveyard it was one of the biggest paranormal hotpots in our village apparently we were just talking about the performance though the whole time until we reached said Graveyard both of us became silent then and we crossed this road many times but never this late at night our bodies suddenly felt heavy as we crossed it every noise sort of felt paranormal but that's just being on edge right out in

The dark each step felt slower than the last but suddenly we heard a really weird faint noise as we walked down the road the sound became louder and clearer and we were certain that it was the Cry of a child I looked at Aman upon hearing that and Aman was just as scared as I was I think as we slowly went closer to the sound we did see a child about 1 or 2 Years old crying beside the road we didn't approach the child we didn't even directly look at it but as we walked by

it my eyes started tearing up a bit and every inch of me was just telling me to run I barely managed to keep my sanity at that moment but I would have probably passed out if I was alone I would guess as we were walking past it taking a wide birth mind you the crying became louder and louder to the point like I Felt my eardrum would burst once we were about 20 M away from it the crying just suddenly stopped I could no longer control my body and I ended up looking back and when

I did I saw nothing it was gone there wasn't any sign of any kid or anyone else around us I took a deep breath my heart felt lighter am man looked at me and he also looked relieved but before we could say a single sentence we heard what I can only Describe as like a demonic scream it came from somewhere in the darkness of the graveyard but that was definitely the last straw for us we ran as fast as we could and I could feel my Consciousness sort of slipping away as well what I mean

is that I felt sort of woozy and like I was about to go out we didn't stop running though until we reached our village there were a few people sitting beside a campfire playing some cards and the moment that we saw Them I became well unconscious I think I just blacked out I woke up in my grandparents home am man had already woken up and he had told them everything I confirmed his claims and apparently what we saw was the ghoul some believed us and some didn't some are skeptical as I was and still am

to some degree but I got an ear for from my grandmother and well it's been about 3 Years since that incident but we still talk about it every now and then when I go back to the Village during vacations and I still wonder what would have happened if I had been alone at that time I mean maybe I wouldn't be here telling you guys this incident one thing is for sure though I'm never ever using that road at night ever again a few years back me and my friend were riding our motorcycles across Country if

you've never done that and you get the opportunity then you should take it anyway we're both amateur Storm Chasers to and love finding a safe dry spot to view thunderstorms from a safe distance from on a motorcycle it is a lot more dangerous and exciting as you can probably imagine but when we were in Nebraska and I noticed on the radar that Infamous hook where a potential tornado is no than I told my friend the sirens in town started going Off the system was still about 15 minutes away and so we decided to get behind

the storm by going south into Kansas the highway going south was maybe about a mile up the road so we headed that way and we were only about 20 mi from the border but this storm system stretched all the way down to Oklahoma so we knew that we'd be in for the rain eventually we did get far enough away where we could stop and watch the lightning and the storm hit where we had Been in Nebraska and now riding in the rain doesn't bother me too much it's when there's severe weather that does it was

already getting dark and we started looking for shelter a barn gas station or just something to get out of the pea-sized hail that was starting to fall but we finally got up into this little town and saw what was for all intents and purposes an abandoned boarded up building on the main drag We found an awning to get under and some scrap plywood that we used to lay over the bikes and an old Tire to put over the wood to keep it down the wind though started blowing like mad and started hailing again some golf

ball-sized hail this time it was pretty intense and the wind blowing the rain sideways and the lightning was striking the ground all around us the flimsy what was left of an awning wasn't keeping dry but it was keeping the hail off of us which we were Grateful for my friend was panicking though saying that there was a radar indication that a tornado in the area was about to hit us and if he had to break into the building to get out of the storm he was going to I was like bro we can't do that

I'm not trying to catch a criminal charge or anything so we both sat there hungered down when we heard what sounded like a deep growl I tried to play it off but Then we heard a and the best way that I can describe it is as a raspy voice say come inside he said did you hear that and I said I sure as heck did my heart was racing but then we hear the same sounding voice but this time it sounded like it was laughing my friend was like heck no to heck with this by

this time the hail had stopped anyway and it was still raining sideways but we kned the heck out of there because I can assure You that there was nobody there and where that voice came from I still have no idea the power was still out and it was around 9:30 at night we came up a gas station and it looked like the entire town was up under the gas station taking shelter we managed to squeeze in and sheltered the rest of the storm out there so we managed to squeeze in and we sheltered the rest

of the storm out there the hour eventually came back on And we talked to a few of the locals and someone told us that the place used to be an inn and the owner's wife ended up going insane and apparently killed her husband and several other men with a shotgun one night back in the' 40s I will say too that that voice that we heard it did sound a a little bit female so I figured that it's time to fully write out my experiences before they Grow too fuzzy in my mind it was a hot

summer in Southern California around 2007 my now ex husband our kids and I lived a little over an hour from my in-law's house and for some reason that night we stayed at their home it was my son my husband and I sleeping in a small room together his kids were at their mom's nearby and the house was a really old home in a historic district it was a cute three-bedroom home with no central Heating or air but my ex had told me about different hauntings in the house like a little girl and some other things

too while I believe in the Paranormal because of my own experiences I still believe a good majority of things are people's imaginations dreams or mistaken ideas about why things happen so I wasn't scared at all to sleep in the house anyway I woke up in the middle of the night because I was outrageously hot I Went into the kitchen turned on the lights and got a drink of water in hopes of cooling down a bit I normally sleep like a rock and can usually get right back to sleep when I've woken up but no such

luck that night I drank some water in the kitchen and realized that I wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep that night so I thought that I would just watch some TV until I got sleepy enough to try again I wasn't worried about waking anyone up because The television was on the opposite end of the house anyway from the bedrooms the kitchen the front room and the living room were in a sort of tea formation in this house the tea being the walls that separated the rooms the bottom left section of the

tea was where the kitchen was at the bottom right of the tea was the front room and the top of the tea was the living room I hope that makes sense anyway I began to walk out of the Kitchen and into the living room towards the television as I walked out of the kitchen the wall connecting all three rooms was about 2 ft from my right side when I hear a slam as if something had been thrown or hit my side of the wall not like someone hit the wall but more like a small toy

was thrown hard at the wall or something it wasn't a large house by any means I mean there were no animals or Children or other than my son for that night there was a doorway behind me that was really old and it was definitely closed it was kind of broken and was easily heard when you opened it though because it didn't open easily what I mean is that either the way if something was thrown it couldn't have come from the doorway because of the angle I mean it would have had to have gone right through

me which means that the only direction That it could have come from was about 45° grees directly in front of me from the direction of the television which there are no doors or Windows in that direction and also nowhere for anyone to hide or anything my point is is that I don't know what the heck that was or how could have made it past me without me seeing it in any case immediately after hearing whatever it was that HIIT the wall I felt a rush past me like a wind but more Like as if you

could strongly feel the wind of somebody running past you it came from the direction of whatever hit the wall towards the direction of the fireplace the fireplace was about 4 ft to my left and as it rushed past me I immediately hear something hit the fireplace I looked but I didn't see anything the whole thing took about 2 seconds if that but it was just no explanation for any of it my heart jumped into my throat and I Wanted to run I don't like to acknowledge the Paranormal because I believe it either gives them power

or they know that they can now communicate with you so they'll do more so I tried to pretend that I wasn't scared out of my wits I turned the light switch off calmly and slowly walked back to the bedroom you know sort of as if I changed my mind and no longer wanted to watch TV or anything no big deal right really Inside though I wanted to scream and and run but I wasn't going to give anything that satisfaction I laid down next to my husband tried to get as close to him as possible and

cover myself up especially my toes remember it's like 85° in the house so covering myself up is pretty ridiculous because it is really hot but I no longer cared about the heat I was genuinely terrified of whatever just ran Past me so I L there unable to sleep for at least 2 hours my heart racing terrified and when I told him in the morning what happened he just laughed and said I told you needless to say we didn't sleep there again after that so years ago early 1990s my wife and I rented a home in

Kansas City through a lawyer who represented an elderly lady who had Returned to where she grew up in Iowa following her husband's passing one evening while I was home alone I was putting away some Towers in a linen closet in the upstairs hallway directly across from the bathroom while I was in the closet I had this strange feeling I was being watched from behind I turned around and thought I saw an elderly gentleman it totally freaked me out but The whole thing was so strange I didn't say anything to my wife for fear of her

laughing at me or potentially even scaring her anyway few months later I'm downstairs watching a football game on a Sunday afternoon and she's upstairs putting away towels in the lining closet when she screams and comes running downstairs I ask her what happened and she tells me that while she was putting away towels in the linen closet she felt Like she was being watched and so she turned around and thought that she saw an old man standing there she was shaking mind you while she was saying this as I was comforting her I told her the

story of my extremely similar experience that I had been too creeped out to share with her for the reasons mentioned earlier the next time I dropped off a rent check at the lawyer's office I asked him if by chance he might share With me how the owner's husband had passed away he told me that the gentleman had suffered a massive heart attack apparently at home and had died by the time that the paramedics arrived he then asked me why I had inquired about the issue and I told him that he wouldn't believe the story if

I told him but that I had a strangely odd sort of premonition that a man had died in the home and left it at That well fast forward a few months and we returned home one evening to find out that we had arrived to a burglary in progress four guys came running out of the house arm's fool jumped into a van on the side street a house was on a corner and drove away the insurance claim ended up being about 16,000 a fair amount considering it was the '90s and after the final settlement check arrived

my insurance company canceled our insurance and my agent told me that The only thing that she could tell me was to move she would say nothing more than that and 4 months later we had gone to bed very early and all the lights were off in the house and we were awoken by another attempted Breakin through the same entrance used for the first robbery it stopped when we started turning the lights on but we made some demands on the lawyer for the door and the lock improvements as well as extra Outdoor lighting and a security

system as well the estimates we received were about $2,400 and we offered to split the cost we spoke to the owner and they declined to split the cost but told us that we were free to do any of the work ourselves if we pleased which we declined in the end but we terminated the lease and we ended up moving out the home rented very quickly it was a cute house a cute neighborhood just too close To a less desirable area I suppose so we were pretty fortunate that we only lost our security deposit in the

end as it turns out though two young female lawyers ERS had rented the house after us about 9 months later I received a phone call one evening from a woman asking if I had lived at the address I told her that I had and I asked her how she had gotten my name and my number turns out some male with my name Had arrived despite the forwarding order and I had the only name match in the area in the phone book she begins to explain her story which is that she and her partner had been

robbed three times in the past 9 months and in their subsequent arguments with the lawyer representing the landlord he had let it slip that they must have been talking with the prior tenants when they presented a very similar set of Demands for improvements to the home and that's When she tracked me down during our conversation she mentioned though that they were constantly creeped out after moving in between the burglaries and the odd feeling that they were being watched all the time watched really by who I asked and they just said to me an old creepy

[Music] guy so I'm a skeptic of most things except for ghosts and shared dreams and Limited telepathy the latter of which I actually believe is electrical signals and emotional closeness but I have had a few very minor uneventful experiences with ghosts the first happened when I was about 8 I was alone in my father's house and he had gone out shopping but both cats were outside and I was sitting in the computer room with my back to the door now when I was a kid I had this little sort of spongy miniature Basketball that was

the size of a baseball I specifically remember that I'd left it by the cat Tre in the lounge room which was separated from the computer room by the dining room and then the kitchen however after however long of silently sitting at the computer I suddenly heard the ball thumping along the wooden floor like it was bouncing and then it rolled and stopped against my Foot for some reason I wasn't overly freaked out but I was just completely perplexed as to how I could have even gotten there the second event though was when I was about

13 I was staying at my grandmother's house while my mom was overseas she was snoring in the room next to mine like always and I was awake reading fanfic on my flip phone that's when I heard the front door Open and this was a very heavy thick wooden door mind you that would scrape against the stone floor every time that it opened or closed because the wood was warped and was now slightly too big for the frame I shot out of bed and stood in the doorway staring down the hallway towards the front door I

couldn't see it because it was around the next corner but I stayed there watching to see if anyone walked Past finally completely beside myself I went into my grandmother's room and woke her up telling her that someone was in the house she didn't believe me and went back to sleep and this one is much more easily explained I get that it could have been a person which is infinitely scarier than it ghes to be honest but they could have opened the door and been startled how loud it was and maybe they fled but what always

trips me up is the Fact that when I got up the next morning after a very sleepless night the door was closed I only heard it open and locked with the chain lock well the third one was when I was 16 it was the night my grandmother died and I was standing outside talking about her with my mom her daughter when a single lock of my hair stood up straight in the air like someone was holding it again it could have been the wind I suppose but it was odd that much as for Sure the

fourth was when I went on tour for an old hospital in my city before it was demolished it was at the end of the tour and we were in the morg section just wandering around individually I and two others opened a door that led to a long dark Corridor when a door at the end of it around the corner suddenly slam shut I have never felt that afraid too my hands were shaking so much that the torch light was bouncing everywhere no One was supposed to be in there but again I guess it's sort of

easily explained it could have been squatters or maybe Urban explorers or even a gimmick by the tour company and my fear was heightened because I was already so freaked out by the hospital itself I'm not too sure what it was but I did feel really creeped out by whatever it was and the last and the one that I'm most certain of happened just a few days Ago now that I'm 26 so I was at work with two of my co-workers we work in an old Mall from the 19th century it's very pretty as well the

shop was empty and we were chatting when we started to hear heavy footsteps right above us that's where the kitchen where we have our brakes is so we're very used to the sound of somebody walking up there and we thought one of our managers may have slipped past us or something we called up to her And there was no answer when I go up to check it out I realized pretty quickly that the upstairs was completely empty when I go back down for about 10 minutes afterward there were these heavy footsteps and then the dragging

of furniture right above our heads one of my co-workers said that it was a ghost the mall was familiar with apparently he died in the early 1900s and he's well known by all the shop workers in the Mall now of all of them I would say that the first one and the last one are the most difficult for me to explain although with the first one maybe one of the cats was inide after all I guess that's possible but the last one really I just have no explanation for whatsoever so this is a story that

was actually given to me by a friend he explained that he woke up in the middle of the night because he Thought that he heard footsteps coming down the hallway and he's alone in the basement the barn door to his room is locked from the inside with one of those cheap swinging metal latches and he hears that latch fling open and the bar door slammed across the slider and dented the wall then he describes this short skinny human with huge eyes and said that it looked somewhat similar to Gollum from Lord of the Rings weak

short huge eyes Pale bruised skin this thing walks around the corner into his room and as soon as it passes the drywall that was blocking his view he said that it made eye contact with him for a second and the thing lunged at him what while he was on his bed and in his underwear he describes kicking this thing away and at first the thing would just keep coming back until eventually he kicked it so far that it was out of view blocked by the wall from his point Of view and the thing just disappears

but he then says immediately after that this 8ft tall skinny all black humanoid thing crawls out of the ceiling saying that it began walking in circles on all fours above his bed until after less than a minute of doing so crawls down the wall that is past the end of his bed and then stands up at the end of his bed he said that when it stood it was as tall as the ceiling was standing at the small space between the End of his bed and the wall it sort of crawled down and it went

down the wallmounted TV behind it the creature then lunged at him again he described a similar thing with kicking it off and fighting with it until he kicked it onto a wall and apparently it disappeared now I'm pretty sure I was sleeping when he called me just after this obviously terrified and Confused telling me all about what had just happened and how he wasn't sure whether It was a dream or not yet weirdly the door was open and he said that he called me right after they were there and didn't remember waking up before he

called me that's really strange right in any case now we know it was 100% not a dream to some extent at least because well one the bar door is 100b on a track and cannot move on its own weight two the latch was on the inside with horizontal pressure it needs Vertical pressure to open three the wall was definitely dented afterwards and it was quite a dent let me tell you for he doesn't remember waking up other than when he heard the Footsteps in the hallway and five events like this began to happen frequently after

this until after months his mom experienced clearly hearing people in the house when she was home alone is that just Coincidental we're not sure but we think that it adds to the weight of the validity of his own [Music] experience I'm sorry if this is a bit of a long one but there have been a few strange happenings in my life in the past 24 hours and I feel like there's a lot of background info needed for all of it to make any sense so to begin both of my parents are dead I'm 24 female

now but my mom passed When I was 15 and my dad just 9 months later when I was 16 mom passed in a car accident and Dad well he ended his own life my dad was a firefighter for most of his life and both parents struggled with addiction I'm not sure how relevant that is but just so you have all of the info I think it's worth knowing so here's where it really starts I was standing in the corner of my kitchen this morning huge open full plan so my back was to the rest of

the Apartment I was making myself some breakfast when I hear what is distinctly a man taking a deep breath or a sigh it sounded like it was right behind me so I spun around obviously nothing was there though it's early morning my cats were sleeping upstairs and wouldn't be able to make that noise regardless no electronics were on at all because my roommate and I unplugged them last night due to a lot of thunderstorms in our city my roommate Was asleep and he sleeps with tape over his mouth don't ask he's a mouth breather so

he couldn't have made the noise either not to mention that his room is on the other side of the kitchen not behind me I genuinely have no idea what could have made that noise other than some kind of an entity really after that I finish getting ready and I go to work I tell my co-workers what happened and I started to kind of Piece together some other things that have been going on lately and connect them a bit for example last night at work I got two phone calls within 5 minutes of each other and

both of them just said goodbye in a man's voice and hung up my roommate also left a candle burning in the shared bathroom overnight and my dad the firefighter spent my whole life drilling fire safety into my head but yesterday I was going through a Bunch of my things and spring cleaning essentially and ended up finding a few of my dad's things that I've never seen before even though I've gone through these things dozens of times in the almost 8 years that he's been gone now but I found a very cryptic note with things written

on it like despair pain loneliness Darkness Etc and at the bottom my name was written and circled I also found a cassette recorder with my dad's voice on It I've been getting splitting headaches for the last two days too when I normally don't get them at all the noise itself sounded like it came from the corner directly behind me and the only things there are wax warmer and one of my dad's old bottles from his house which has its own very creepy backstory but lastly to get to my apartment you have to walk up a

stairwell that has motion sensor lights for the past couple of days the light Has been flickering just nonstop so all of that by itself while still very alarming could be kind of ignored but then I get home from work today open the door to the stairwell the light is still flickering until I'm standing directly below it because as soon as I get underneath it it stops flickering and is working normally I stood there for almost a full minute and took a video of it to show my roommate and the second that I turned Around to

keep going up the stairs it started to flicker again I really don't know what to make of any of this or where to to go from here so any advice or thoughts as so all of this genuinely would be greatly [Music] appreciated the house that I currently live in I've lived in perfectly fine for 6 years now but I've seen felt and heard things in this house so about 5 years ago my now Ex-husband his name is Joe was leaving for work early one morning and he shut the door after he shut the door I

heard his name being called in the laundry room which was where he went out and also right beside the master bedroom the really creepy part about it though is that it was my voice and I immediately got chills after that our oldest son who was just crawling at the time had this sort of VTEC phone that he would play with Somehow it ended up in the corner of our living room and we had a recliner that sat in front of of that corner I didn't know the phone was back there until it started going 666

over and over again please keep in mind though that this toy was off at the time so I picked it up and I threw it outside in the trash later Joe got home and I told him about it and he laughed and told me that I was probably just hearing things fast forward a couple of hours I Was in the shower and he comes in telling me that he needs to talk to me so I asked about what and he said that he didn't want to talk inside he wanted to talk outside I get out

of the shower and put some clothes on and step outside with him and he tells me that he was taking the trash out and when he lifted the lid to the trash can outside the toy it went off saying 666 and when he looked at it he Confirmed that it was definitely off I've also felt like I'm being watched I've heard things moving I've heard my kids when they aren't even there another strong occurrence was after Joe and I split he came over to see our kids and I still had the same recliner that the

phone was behind but I got another recliner and had it on the other Corner both facing the TV he sits in the left one if you're facing the TV and I sit in the right and shortly after He sits down there were three knocks on the front door so he looks at me and I get a had a really bad feeling he goes to open the door and I told him not to he does anyway and there's no one there so he sits back down and a few minutes later there are three knocks on the

wall behind him he looks at me wide eyy and I just stare at him in a I told you type of way so 30 or so minutes go by and we ended up switching recliners just because we were both up and now he sits In the right recliner in the living room I also had my kid's toy box and one of the toys that always sat on the floor is like the big Square things that you see at doctor's offices with the colorful wire and the beads on it well it literally picked itself up about

a foot off the ground and slammed itself on the floor and at that his face goes white and he looks at me and I said they don't like you he left shortly after that Now my ex-husband also told me that he left the house one night because he had seen something like a dark figure and things got really bad like it would let us leave and some Paranormal Activity type stuff would happen but I really don't remember that too much I have been having the feeling though that something bad is going to happen and sometimes

I I just don't feel safe there but I don't know if anyone has experienced this and if anyone Thinks it could be malicious or just a ghost that's harmless I would really like to know what I should do next because I'm sort of in two minds I guess so I have very bad insomnia which leads me to staying awake most nights and this happened a couple of weeks ago so we recently changed the flooring in the house from regular the carpet to wooden flooring as a result from our walls being thin and my new door

not fitting Properly I can pretty much hear everything going on in the house crystal clear at the moment I was laying down trying to sleep and it must have been around 2:30 or 3: in the morning my dad had already left for work and my sister was asleep at this point so was my dad's wife and my little brother the thing is though is that my little sister's door makes a sort of loud Creek when when it opens and I can Always hear any door in the house opening since it's a small house and my

room is almost in the middle well as I'm laying there with the house dead silent suddenly there's this sort of I don't know like shuffling sound coming from the living room which is just outside of my room it's just going in circles around the living room too it's not footsteps it's some sort of shuffling or weird noise the closest sounds that I can Des Describe it is when my little brother when he gets upset and instead of walking like normal he sort of shuffles his feet by not taking footsteps and instead sliding his feet across

the wooden floor the other sound that is sort of similar to what I heard is that when I wear my jeans without shoes the length of them is too long for me but that's how I like them and that however makes it so that even when I take a step in the jeans they don't go off the floor And they sort of drag and create a shuffling noise that is pretty much what this sounded like so I keep hearing a sort of shuffling noise and it's not consistent it kind of shuffles for a bit then

stops then shuffles again and it does this for some time just doing circles in the living room the kitchen is tile so there would be no shuffling in there but I thought when I first heard it great rats Are in the house but no it doesn't seem to go to the tiles it just kept shuffling around in cires in the living room it gets worse too because then I start to hear it shuffling closer to the hallway where my door is at now my little brother will sometimes run down the hallway with his fingers and

nails on the wall so I know what it sounds like when someone is running or a hand or nails or whatever against the wall and since my room wall makes up part of The hallway wall it resonates loudly in my room whatever it is though it starts slowly running fingers or or something across the wall slowly moving it to my door it's moving its body or what sounds like a hand across the hallways wall slowly until it reaches my door then it goes quiet for what feels like a couple of minutes I think to myself

whatever it has just stopped and it's gone away anyway so I should get some Sleep but that was when I hear something scratching at my door it's not fast or frantic scratching it's slow purposeful scratching just slow scratching from the top of the door to the bottom and repeating itself after a while of that happening I then hear it shuffling back to the living room it then quickly turned into a cycle it would just Shuffle around in the living room then after a while it would scratch the wall to my room and Scratch at my

door then back to the living room again this cycle kept repeating until some time into the morning when I started seeing the first sign of light and basically as soon as the first sign of light came I mustered up the courage to leave my room and check but when I did there was nothing there all the doors were locked and like I said my room is in the dead middle of the house the walls are thin and my door doesn't fit Properly so I can hear any of the doors open it's something that I've grown

used to I would have been able to hear if anyone opened one of those doors but that never happened so I know for a fact that it wasn't one of them my hunch is that it was probably just a big rat but I don't know any rat on the west coast that would just Shuffle around the living room like that scratch the wall slowly stop at my door scratch at it for a bit then repeat the cycle over and Over again plus rats can't reach that high whatever it was it freaked me out real bad

and I'm not the type to get scared easily by any means whenever it was it genuinely shook me to my core before I start I just want to say that I haven't really told many people this mostly because it was a very scary experience for me and I really don't like to Live It Anyway this happened in Kal Canada in The80s I was about 14 and was babysitting in a neighbor's house while the parents were gone they had a really nice house too like most in the neighborhood and it was right on the corner where

two streets connected my house was right outside of a bus stop across from theirs this happened pretty late at night in the winter so it was dark out maybe 11 or 12 at night I was sitting on the couch when I thought that I saw something at the Back door it was one of those glass doors that led to the porch and it was weird though because I really couldn't see too much but you know when the lights are on and it's dark out so you can't really see anything but black in your reflection well

that's sort of what I saw but I could have sworn that it looked like something was there so I got up and I walked close to the window it definitely looked like something was There but I just still couldn't really see it I got closer and closer still couldn't see I honestly should have just turned on the lights but instead I put my face right to the glass and cued My Hands by my eyes to look out and maybe about 1 in from my face on the other side of the glass was a man he

looked tall and pale from what I could see which wasn't too much and he was staring at me very very creepily keep in mind he would have been Watching from the backyard naturally too I jumped back and let out a short scream but stupid teenage me didn't call the cops I called my parents instead my father he came over to take a look there were still footprints in the front in the backyard I don't remember too much after that because it just felt like a very unreal experience I guess you never expect this stuff to

happen to you that is until it Does this incident took place about 4 years ago I was living with my college friends in a shared apartment but then I got married and I started searching for a separate room to start our new Journey as husband and wife I rented a house which was a big double story Cottage the owner an old couple they were living in the ground floor and they gave us a room on the first floor so me and my wife we moved into this new house there was nobody else living in that

Cottage other Than the four of us old couple me and my wife everything was going great too until once I experienced something unusual happening at night I just felt like somebody was present in our house for whatever reason I felt like someone was watching us observing us it was a really weird feeling but nothing else really happened and so life just went on one day though my wife decided to visit her parents for a couple of weeks And she left home I was alone that night and after finishing the episode of The Big Bang Theory

that I was watching as usual I went to go and sleep in my bed it was now the middle of the night and I was in a deep sleep and I started feeling like someone was trying to hold my hand and legs but in the Deep sleep I couldn't really feel much I guess but slowly the grip of my hands and legs became more firm and it became so firm that suddenly I woke up and now I could feel 100% that someone was holding my hands and legs I could barely breathe I was also feeling

like somebody was trying to stop my breathing I got scared my heartbeat increased violently and I started sweating I suddenly remembered that I should speak the religious chance that I learned growing up but not a single word was coming out of my mouth I became more desperate and gathered all of my energy to speak chance but I couldn't and then I realized that I should speak religious chance in my mind and this is where I started feeling relieved as the grip of my hands legs and of my throat began to loosen I now began speaking

and I started chanting religious chants out loudly and slowly very slowly everything became normal again and eventually I sat up in bed and I just wondered what the heck had happened after some time I I went back to sleep and nothing else happened that Night after my wife came back we shifted to a new rental house and since then I haven't experienced anything similar again which is a bit strange right [Music] so our friend and I both 21 and female went to Applebee's for a few $1 Margaritas then went off to a park where she

said that she knew a spot we go 20 minutes away to this park we go down this path that takes us Around 10 minutes to this Bay Area we find a nice log and we sit there and we watched the sunset as we were relaxing on the log a family strolls by with their dog to hang out on the other side of the shore or whatever a few minutes go by and a couple comes through and sets up they hit a big pineapple with a knife but the sun sets it's still light out but we

didn't think about the walk back and eventually we go to head back and it's Dark at this point now the wooden area that we have to walk through is getting really dark so we start walking and she gets her phone camera out it's pitch black at this point in this Forest we start talking about how creepy it actually was and it was around this point that I felt an uneasy feeling that feeling you get afraid that something is behind you well we're walking along and we go across the bridge up a little Hill and All

of a sudden we hear loud fast footsteps on the bridge I see light from what appeared to be from a phone and it was moving back and forth as if somebody was sprinting we panicked we started running and I'm thinking no way this guy is chasing us and I know that this is going to sound a bit weird but his footsteps kind of sounded like he was on a bike maybe or something I thought we'll go up this Steep Hill on our left there's no way That this guy is following us and no way that

he would go up this hill on his bike turns out there was no bike we stopped running as we didn't hear anything she flashes her light behind us and there's a silhouette of a man now jogging toward us his body posture seemed to be like he got tired from running so we kept running and stopping to see if he was still chasing us and then again we hear footsteps running toward us we keep Looking back while running to make sure that he's not right on us at this point my friend screamed hey in a sort

of panicked voice and he screamed back hey as well and then after that said what are you scared we keep running she's on the phone with the police we finally hit a paved Road nowhere near her car when I took us up the hill that was on the wrong path we originally took we knock on a house lights are on but nobody answers so we quickly start down the Road to their neighbor I look back and see a silhouette of a man walking behind that first person's house he eventually got up to the fence and

then creeped back into the darkness that second neighbor they helped us his wife got us some water and the police they came to take take us to her car and that was the most traumatic experience I think I've ever had the intentions of the man felt Sinister no doubt and the way he was yelling at us Felt so uncanny I hate this feeling that I have and I have so many questions that I know won't be answered but I just cannot get this one question out of my head what if he did actually catch up

to us what would have happened so my dad had three consecutive heart attacks in the emergency room in the hospital the date June of 2021 the doctors do not expect him to Come home yet he defies them and 3 weeks later he is home and under the care of palea of nursing staff along with my mom and myself during the next 5 months before he left us my I would walk into the room and he would be fully engrossed in a conversation with the Invisibles as we called them like one time he said that the

room was full of Mexican people with food but he wasn't sure that he liked Mexican food I told him to tell them to Go away and one time he introduced me to the two Invisibles that he said were fighter pilots dad said that his dad had been to see him my uncle that my dad said traveled thousands of miles to see Dad and despite all of this this last one was definitely the Clincher so 2 days before Dad had passed dad was in his chair and I was sitting on his bed who are all these

people he asked me I don't know Dad they're invisible so why don't you ask one my Dad turns away from me and says uh excuse me young man sorry to bother you but what is your name there's a brief pause and my dad turns to me and says he says that his name is Andrew that's nice I respond what does Andrew do he asked me I don't know Dad I can't see him why don't you ask him he turns away from me and then says uh excuse me Andrew what do you do there's a pause

and dad with his hand to his ear leans forward and says I'm sorry I Didn't catch that he then turned to me and said he he's gone that was on a Tuesday and 2 days later that had passed but this is where the story gets a bit freaky so my brother and his second wife show up on Saturday so that we can go to the funeral home and make final Arrangements I leave to put on my makeup and come back into the room 10 minutes later to Mom my brother and his second Wife sobbing what

did you say I asked my brother all choked up he said that he just got off the phone with his first wife and the youngest son Andrew he had been hit at a crosswalk and died 7 days prior to dad's death honestly I couldn't even tell my brother until later when she had him created and buried before I told him I personally believe that Andrew didn't want to tell his grandpa that he Was dead and that's why dad didn't hear him I think Andrew realized that we hadn't been told of his death and he wasn't

going to tell his grandpa that is unless dad didn't want to tell us his first wife wouldn't let the kids five kids they had together see my parents so it's no wonder Dad didn't recognize him too so yes I do believe in the afterlife I just need to finish what I need to do here before I get my turn I guess I hope my mom and dad have a Really excellent place to live when I get there too anyway thanks for listening it's a very hard story to share and it's good to finally get it

off my chest a bit this happened a couple of weeks ago so I was heading home from my friend's house one night around 11:30 p.m. my friend lives about 25 minutes from me and the fastest way to get home is if I take back roads from there I live in a small rural Town anyways I'm driving home with another car about maybe four car lengths in front of me I'm about 5 minutes from my house when I see the car's tail light suddenly break then the car speeds off and turns off of a road to

where I couldn't see it anymore I didn't think too much of it I mean maybe a raccoon ran out in front of them and they didn't want to hit it as I get to the part of the road where that car slammed on their brakes a man a huge Man probably six plus feet tall in a black hoodie jumps in front of my car flailing his arms and yelling at me I swerve to the right to not hit him and I look in my rear view and he's gone this road does have houses but where

this man was there were none no street lights no broken down car nothing I raced home and called my husband who was about 2 and a half hours away at an event and wouldn't be home until after midnight I told him what Happened and how he just disappeared and I was terrified to get out of my car to walk out into a house he stayed on the phone with me until I got inside and immediately headed home too there's been a lot of weird break-ins around my area lately too and people trying to steal cars

as well I can't even imagine what would have happened if I stopped my car not that I ever would I mean I've seen too many true crime documentaries to do that I avoid taking that way home now and if I do honestly that's pretty much all I think about the last house that I lived in with my parents was haunted and I mean severely haunted when we first moved in and I was left to sit with the stuff while my parents made trips even though it was empty I had never been more afraid I knew

that there were things there I could feel it and I was Terrified not long after we moved in it all started kicking off too stuff would move on its own and I don't mean just things that weren't stable I had seen it and my mom had seen it but my dad still said that he didn't believe in it until one night when we were all watching TV we looked into the Hall all at the same time and the khys lifted off the cabinet and fell on the floor like someone had picked them up and dropped

them my dad hadn't seen this happen before and his Response was nervously right that's it we're going to bed then there was the thing in the bathroom mirror so I was cleaning my teeth before bed and I looked into the mirror and there was this thing that looked like a little kid with long hair but its eyes were pure black scared the life out of me but what was even weirder was that when I looked into my wardrobe and there was a crumpled red dress with blue Butterflies on it exactly like what that thing was

wearing it wasn't mine mind you and it looked like it would be the right size for maybe a 5-year-old once I saw an apparition in the doorway to my parents' bedroom that looked like a woman with long hair holding a knife I screamed and tried to run but ended up tripping and falling down the stairs I told my dad I got spooked by a spider but then my mama When he wasn't around and when I told her she wasn't surprised because she sometimes felt that there was someone in the bedroom with her when she was

by herself my dollhouse it used to open by itself when it was latched the latch worked fine and was sometimes so stiff that I had to pull on it to get it off but it would just open when I wasn't even there near it my mom didn't believe me until she saw it and she was startled by it something used to play with the Bathroom tap too and it wasn't the tap being dodgy or whatever it was old and stiff and a lot of the time took two people to just turn it on the most

memorable time though was when I was about to head out the door to high school when nobody else was up and the tap turned on I shouted up the stairs please now's not the time I'll get in trouble for leaving the tap on and amazingly it actually turned off another time when I was in the Bathroom getting ready for bed I was about to leave and suddenly I got this I don't know like a strange overwhelming urge to sit down and as soon as I did I put my hand out and felt drips of water

falling on my hand I told my mom about it and she said that it was something related to spirits but I can't remember exactly what a lot of the time both me and my mom would avoid going upstairs though because we'd stand at the bottom of the Stairs and we'd just get this awful uneasy feeling feeling that something didn't want us up there and so we would just wait I'll end this by saying that I don't experience hallucinations I don't have any form of psychosis or schizophrenia and nothing like this has happened since moving out

of that place and quite honestly I'm just happy that that place is somebody else's problem now [Music] so this happened to my friend not me in 2007 to this day she describes what she saw in the exact same as she had right after it happened and can still clearly picture it as well so she was walking home from her friend's house at night but this is in a town in southern Oregon in case that's important but she doesn't remember the exact time but says that it was definitely after midnight and it was Dark so nobody

else was was out she says that she was completely sober and not sleep deprived or anything she was on her way home and just about two blocks from her house she was walking on the sidewalk along the Main Street and was crossing between Fifth and 6th Street her house is on 7th across the street is a Safeway in a cemetery and right then she noticed something about 50 ft ahead of her crossing the street from the cemetery Side to the side that she was on and this is how she describes it there were two creature

things walking on their hind legs side by side one was slightly shorter than the other but they were both really tall at least 7 ft they were hunched over lanky and extremely thin she says that her immediate first thought was they looked almost like deer walking on their hind legs but they didn't have any fur it was more like a dark grayish skin they held their arms And wrists kind of like how a T-Rex would but their arms and hands were very long still almost as long as their legs when I asked she said that

she didn't see any tals I asked her if they had Hooves and she says that she thinks so but can't remember that part for certain everything was quiet and she didn't hear them making any sounds on the pavement as they walked I asked her if they had any antlers or deer-like shaped face me thinking that maybe it Actually was just hairless deer walking on on their High legs for some reason she said no antlers though and their heads were not shaped like a deers or any animal but more like a person's she describes their faces

as looking human with human features but something was just slightly off she had Frozen where she was as soon as she saw them everything was quiet and there were no cars driving by or anyone else around which is pretty normal at night in our Small town but she says that she stood there kind of in shock she watched as the two creatures slowly walked side by side silently from across the street and over to the side of the street that she was on she says that they didn't seem to see her at all or if

they did notice her they didn't act at all like they did she says that they acted as if they were simply a couple going on a casual night stroll together she doesn't remember feeling any negative energy or Vibes she just felt fear because she was well pretty scared by what she saw as soon as they finished crossing the street they continued straight down Sixth Street and she couldn't see them after they passed the first house and kept walking down at that point she said that she snapped out of the shock and started running the one

more block towards 6th Street to see where they were going once there she turned down 6th Street to Follow them but at this point they were completely gone she doesn't know where they could have possibly gone that fast though considering that they were just walking and not walking fast but like I said almost as if the two of them were just out on a casual night stroll as soon as she realized that they had somehow disappeared out of nowhere though she started running as fast as she could the one more block to her House on

7th street she told her mom and sister the next morning and she says that these creatures were like nothing she had ever seen or heard of before the closest thing that she could compare it to is a werewolf like the one that Professor Lupin changes into the Harry Potter movies hairless super lanky and hunched over strangely except these ones had more humanlike heads or faces than a wolf she's only ever told her family and A few friends me being one of them about this and also she has no history of any mental illness or anything

but whenever I ask her about it she describes it the exact same way and is still pretty shook up when she thinks about it also nothing like that has happened to her before or since then does anyone know what this could have been though I've heard about not deers on Reddit but I'm not sure that that really fits because I think that Those are more animal like shaped and usually on all fours right if you guys have any questions and I'm happy to ask her and get back to you but any input would be greatly

appreciated as both of us I'll admit are a bit [Music] lost so I worked for Disney many years ago and was sent to take still photos of the Queen Mary for locations reference purposes as part of the assignment I was Privately taken around the ship to various off-limits to the public areas by a very friendly and jovial security guard we had been added for about an hour when he took me up to the bridge it was a cool Autumn late afternoon and there was a slight breeze in the Dusky air the control room or wheelhouse

was locked so I wasn't able to go inside instead I was taking photos of the Interior through an exterior window the security guard who was with Me he got called to another part of the ship and had to leave me alone for a moment he promised to return in about 15 minutes shooting through the window I had my back to the captain's walk which is where we came up from I was looking through the camera viewfinder which meant that I completely lost visual contact with what was immediately around me taking photos I heard footsteps over

my shoulder to my right and I figured the security guard had Returned then I felt a hand on my right shoulder and obviously that completely startled me I dropped the camera into my left hand and swung my right hand backward to brush away the security guard's hand only to find that there was nobody there just Flags waving in the breeze and the quiet of the early evening I Shrugged the footsteps and the feeling of the hand on my shoulder off as a very convincing figment of my imagination when the security guard Eventually returned I told

him about what had happened and his demeanor changed from jovial to quite serious let's get out of here he said nervously I asked him what was wrong and he told me that there were ghost stories about the captain's walk that people have seen the former captain of the Queen Mary on the walk in the early evenings patrolling his bridge and he also told me that some people reported feeling the presence of someone when Nobody was there hearing that was enough for me too I was more than happy to oblige her getting out of there and

finishing the rest of the tour as quickly as possible [Music] one of my earliest memories as a child is from one time my grandparents left me home alone effectively when I was four or five I was playing in my room with some toys when suddenly I noticed a man outside my window for context my Childhood home had an enclosed patio which I could see from my window he couldn't have just gotten in in other words at this point I'm terrified and just stay in my room but he soon simply enters it I don't remember his

appearance too well but I remember I called him the chicken head man because he had a mohawk haircut he doesn't say nor do anything he just stands there catatonic turns around and then Leaves I being a stupid kid decided to follow him he truly wasn't doing anything he was just sort of pacing through our hallway he would walk to my grandfather's office my mom's room in my room and then just repeat it eventually I got bored of following him and I just went to my room and he didn't come back I don't really remember how

scared I was but according to my parents I was freaked out but anyways after this happens and my mom Comes back home I tell her about the chicken head man and she is terrified turns out she had been experiencing frequent night terrors where she would wake up and the same man would be sitting across the room staring at her she decided that my encounter with him was enough proof that he was real and she hired an exorcist to come and cleanse the house and weirdly enough I never had another encounter with the supernatural That I

know of after that this happened a long time ago but the me memory of it is still very much burnt into me I was young enough to still be sitting in those booster seats that you put your child in with the tray attachment for food I was playing with a little toy car in the back seat of an old 1988 Honda Civic in my little car seat we were on the road when suddenly and slowly a shadowy figure crossed over in front of Me the best way that I can describe it is that it was

shaped like one of those Pacman goost but black and with a pair of human like eyes no other facial features it was small small enough to fit on my kitty tray thing that I was using as a race car track for my toy as it passed in front of me even then I remember being freaked out since nothing in the car even remotely looked like that nor could anything have reflected a shadow to look like what I had just seen Of course I immediately told my parents who just simply brushed it off and didn't believe

me even now as I think of it more and more I really still cannot explain it the second time I saw it it was a little while later but I can't remember how much later but I know that I had outgrown the booster seat by this point but was still sitting in the back of the car I was climbing into the back seat of that car when I saw it again only this Time it was on the seats and much bigger than before tall enough to cover the whole middle seat in its shadow it was

positioned almost as if it was looking out from behind the shadow being cast by the driver's seat and only one eye showed this time I completely lost it though and quickly ran from that car to my parents confusion now I knew that this couldn't possibly be a shadow being cast from something already in the car and when I Finally worked up the courage to look again with my parents it was gone to this day I haven't had any paranormal encounters nearly as weird as that one I'm not one to believe in ghost or spirits but

even I can't begin to explain what it was that I saw then that was the last time that I saw that ghost or whatever it was and shortly after that my father gave away that car to a friend of his I don't know if ghosts can haunt Cars or whatever but if they can then that car was for sure haunted this isn't my first encounter in my life but it definitely was the most convincing I was in Okinawa for a few months but one day some friends and I decided to go see shuri Castle it

had burned down a while ago so there wasn't much to see anymore but we decided to go anywhere here while wandering around we came across these steps that led down to a pond so we headed down to check it out When I noticed this path over to the left I decided to follow it because I mean why not and I noticed this hole or maybe like an old entry into a room of some sort it was barred up so you couldn't walk into it but while I was looking I noticed this dark Mass the room

itself was already dark but this Mass was noticeably darker I could also see a very strong energy coming from it sort of but after trying to figure out what it was for a few seconds I called My friend over to see if he noticed it too he said that he couldn't see anything but when I tried to point it out it sort of rushed me at this point I get chills throughout my entire body and I begin feeling extremely sad all of a sudden like I'm about to cry my buddy noticed this change in me

and we honestly started laughing about the situation since it was kind of crazy to be honest we end up walking away and continuing down the main path towards The pond I couldn't shake this feeling though of whatever I just encountered that it gave me so on our way back I decided to take another look but this time it rushed me instantly and it was there again I turned around and went back to the main path but whatever it was it stayed with me I began feeling like my energy was leaving my body to the point

that I had to sit in the middle of the path because I felt like I was about to pass out I Kept telling whatever it was to go away that it wasn't allowed to follow me but it wasn't listening that's for sure the rest of the day we spent in naha I just couldn't shake this thing too even when we got back to where we were staying all night I could feel it watching me while I was trying to sleep I asked my friend's wife who was a local to see if I could get a

cleansing anywhere and thankfully she was able to help me Out it was just a a really freaky situation and experience and the energy that it gave off was extremely powerful whatever it was I've never felt something like that before and I really hope to never encounter anything like it again back in 2018 I was 17 around that time I was living in foster care the group home was situated on a busy street and despite living in the city we had a backyard Basketball court picnic table and at the very back we even had some grass

the whole backyard it was surrounded by 2 m tall chainlink fences there were houses to the right and the left of ours at the very back of the yard on the other side of the fence there was a public walking or biking path that stretched at least a dozen kilometers this path it would take you through this huge Park along the water to the beach Etc it was A very popular area for people to visit too now I was a regular cannabis smoker although I was always very well put together for a teenager the group

homew workers agreed to turn a blind eye on me as long as I didn't make it obvious so on weekend mornings I go for a walk to the park behind the house I'd roll up on a park bench and I would smoke but one day everything changed it was a weekend morning as Usual at 7:00 a.m. I made my way to my favorite park bench I'm sitting there with my joint in my hand it was quite windy and it kept lighting out I was facing the water about 100 m of field between the Waterfront and

I when I noticed a man stomping through the field heading straight for me he didn't seem like he was on a leisurely walk at all I remember thinking to myself one why is he not using the paved path two why does it seem like he's walking straight Towards me three what is he holding four is anybody else around and at all that Panic ensued he was holding something chunky in one of his hands I looked around for someone noticed an elderly woman walking from the direction of the group home she was about 20 M away

from me and I sped walk towards The Woman by the time that I got to her the man he had made it to the bench that I was sitting on the woman kept walking towards the bench and I in the opposite direction for a moment I looked back to make sure the man wasn't following me or worse I see the man lay his brick down on a pile of rocks behind the bench the woman stopped walking I'm guessing that she had processed something peculiar was going on too thankfully the man kept Moving Straight towards the

Boulevard and was no longer to be seen in the park the woman she then turns around and she looks at me with this sort of shock Stare in her eyes and I remember feeling reassured by that we both continued on with our days without saying a single word but the same day at around 9:00 p.m. people aren't allowed to smoke within 10 m of an entry to an establishment and there was only one light in the backyard so it was above the entry to the establishment and this girl in my group home goes out for

a smoke in the backyard no lights on and like 3 minutes later she's banging on The door yelling so I let her in obviously she's freaking out we're trying to get answers out of her but it's hard then she explains that there was a man he stood there on the path allegedly she watched and stared taking pulls of a cigarette the man then starts walking towards her and starts climbing the fence that's when I shared my story from that same morning to be honest I thought that I Was just being paranoid at first but when

I heard that somebody had tried to hop the fence and the guy was described to look very similar to the person that I saw I truly believe that it was the same man the workers on the shift that night they called the police and the police started patrolling the path at night the group home added some garden lights in the back and honestly I I just hope that this person Never lays hands on anyone because that wild look in his eyes if he does I really don't like to think about what might happen I want

to preface this story by saying that while I am pretty much agnostic on a good day and an atheist on a bad day I am still a fan of horror and I grew up in a fairly religious environment via a very Evangelical Christian high school so my point of view may be skewed by those influences I'll admit however I do think whatever my fiance and I witnessed was at the very least an extremely dangerous person so for context I started college in the fall of 2018 going to a university in a somewhat rural area the

college itself it sits on a large plot of land surrounded by farmland and Vineyards with sections that are forested and have sort of little Trails running through them and a creek that Runs through the length of the school property even the college has even had a murder victim dumped in one of the wooded areas on the campus but that's a story for another day freshmen though were required to live on campus their first year and one of the benefits of that was that we had unlimited access to the school cafeteria aka the calf the calf

it was pretty nice boasting a salad bar sandwich station mini Bakery pot food with different menus daily and Pretty much every fountain drink that you can think of I would get lunch and dinner there with my only friend at the time and who was now my fance might I had and we began to notice this boy who was always at the calf alone it wasn't uncommon to see students eating there alone my school had pretty poor community outreach or school spirit but something was just I don't know really off about this kid like first off

he had a very distinct look this is important Too because we recognized him multiple times over 3 years his skin it was extremely pale and had this sort of waxy flesh look to it that I struggled to describe almost like he was made of wax but he also had red curly hair insert Ginger joke here I know but a mouth a little little too large for his face but what was the strangest thing about him were his eyes they were the same color as his hair that bright red Orbin his Iris was Almost too big

for his eye and his pupils they were extremely dilated his eyes had a sort of bulging look to them too very similar to Mark Zuckerberg like they were trying to escape his face almost it's hard to describe here but he just had a very I don't know unsettling Look to Him it just felt like there was something very wrong with him like there was nothing inside of him almost but his appearance wasn't what Caught our attention at first to be honest what caught our attention was the amount of food that this kid would eat of

course having unlimited access to food some kids went really overboard right but this kid he was on another level allog together he always had five or six cups of juice soda coffee and three or four plates piled with food mind you he was not large or overweight but he would clear every plate and then just sit in his Booth alone staring into Space with his headphones in that was another thing too he always had this blank sort of vacant expression always staring into nothing whenever you walked past his Booth you could hear that the music

from his headphones was on full blast we began to notice too that no matter what time we went to the calf whether it be for a late night snack or breakfast a random afternoon craving he was just always there sitting alone in the ruins of his empty plates and we Weren't the only people who noticed the strange Behavior too by second semester people began approaching him at first just some girls jokingly saying something to the effect of we strive to be on your level referencing his eating habits and he just stared at them blankly people

began to ask if he was okay if he would like to join them but he always just stared sometimes with a sort of knowing smile on his face but Would never reply leaving the students to depart awkwardly once I even witnessed one of the calf attendants telling him that he needed to stop spending all this time there my friend that I always ate with became my boyfriend in the end and we began to theorize what exactly this kid's deal was we said maybe mental illness or maybe he was a competitive eater or he was trying

to bulk up or whatever but His behavior seemed too empty too neurotic to be explained Away by any of these our main Theory the one that I subscribe to now it didn't come till much later my sophomore year I opted to live on campus again and in the middle of my second semester that was when Co hit my school they allowed us to remain on campus until the school year was up and due to some personal reasons for not wanting to go home I remained in my dorm And my boyfriend joined me and we quarantined

together that time was honestly just so strange because our campus became an incredibly Lial space without all the other students some others remained with us but on any given day you would walk the entire campus and not run into another soul my boyfriend and I we started running the wooded Trails on campus to get some exercise too and one day we stopped on one of the trails to do some Burpees as we did so the kid from the calf emerged from the trees all of a sudden not On Any Trail just walked out of the

woods and started running toward us this really caught us off guard because I mean we rarely saw anyone at this point and he just made a beline toward us right as he ran up on us though he just stopped just smiled at us knowingly as if we shared some joke but it was not a smile in fact it was incredibly nasty Sinister even I don't know if I felt that way because he had scared us but something was definitely off we had never spoken to him those times at the calf but he definitely seemed to

recognize us the other thing that was weird was that he was now jacked way taller and just larger than he had ever been freshman year and I mean it wasn't just that he gained muscle he just seemed like he Scaled up a whole lot like he hid a massive growth spurt which I suppose is plausible but it just seemed really off anyway we were both obviously shaken by the experience and began to joke that he had been eating so much to store up energy so he could level up or something in one of us I

forget which but we suggested that he looked so strange because it was a demon wearing a human skin and was eating so much to build strength for his demonic powers and That's how he grew so quickly like I said it began as a joke but the more that we discussed it the more it just seemed to explain not only his odd appearance but his odd behavior toward other students the empty look in his eyes but here's where things went from just weird to honestly downright terrifying so my boyfriend and I forgot about him eventually and

moved out of my dorm into an apartment a few blocks from School as we were still finishing and because school was mostly online now obviously with Co and I like the area the same Creek that ran the length of our school campus ran behind our complex and as it was still Co lockdown and we had nothing to do we were would often go on long walks up and down the creek now one evening we went for a walk at dusk and by the time that we got to the main road our apartment was on it

was completely dark it was extremely Quiet and as we walked along the road we saw that we were coming up on a man walking very slow and deliberate my hackles were up immediately as our apartment is in a pretty SE area and there was a lot of homeless and unstable people who sometimes hung out from the creek and and there was just something about his walk it was so deliberate and predatory almost as we crosss with the man though he walked even slower and in the dim Light of the street lamps I realized that I

recognized him as that same kid that same waxy face and bulging eyes I also realized that in one hand he held a paper bag with something big and round in it while in the other he was holding a CR crowbar yeah a crowbar he slowed down even more as he passed us and turned his whole head and smiled at us this time there was no mistake when I tell you that it was very threatening it was the most Sinister Smile that I'd ever seen in fact and it had that same knowing in it like he

knew us and we shared some joke he didn't say anything just stared at us with his horrible eyes I don't know if I just read too many creepy pasts or if I'm overthinking things but I knew on an animalistic level that he wanted to hurt us and wanted us to know that he could after we passed him we took off running and when we returned to the Apartment we were both in a full-blown panic even my boyfriend who tends to be pretty levelheaded and skeptical wanted to call the police at this stage we did and

as soon as we began to explain the situation we felt pretty foolish about it they asked if he threatened us and we said not verbally but we felt threatened despite the absurdity of our call they said that they would look into it because obviously there's not a lot Of non- Nefarious reasons to be walking around at night with a crowbar but we never heard anything and after that we never saw him again now to close this I just think the whole thing is strange how this kid kept showing up in our lives over 3 years

and always seem to recognize us always seem to want to let us know that he knew us I think as people we know when there's just something off about a person right when there's nothing going On inside people have said as much about sociopaths that they've had run-ins with but I want to know what you guys think did I encounter the Antichrist leveling up a demon or just a really troubled kid who became a dangerous man maybe he he was just a depressed kid but I will hold firm that we were at the very least

threatened by this guy that he wanted to hurt us and that we encountered something or someone very evil but what do you guys Think also I did some rudimentary Google searches for police reports in the area for you know assault with a crowbar or whatever and some other things that might have related to that but in the end we couldn't find anything [Music] this happened about 2 years ago when I was 19 I'm female by the way and had just moved out of student accommodation into an actual flat with my friend group of Six now

the night that we moved in it was just me and one of the girls that I'm close friends with her name's Lucy I had my boyfriend over at the time his name's Alec the other people who were moving in we're moving in 2 weeks later as they were all in various holidays and visiting home and whatnot so it was just the three of us Lucy was in her room and Alec and I were smoking in bed watching kung fu movies and it was around this time that we notice a man maybe around 300 lb and

6 ft pacing outside of our window and looking in occasionally but we're in a basement floor at this time but the windows were on ground level but that was really weird we just try to make sure that the windows are locked and 20 minutes or so pass everything seems okay until Lucy runs into my room and says there's a man in the house it was then that we realized too that we had left the door unlocked by accident and that left Chills down my spine I'm like what do you mean there's a man in the

house Alec is frozen solid me and Lucy go into the hall and there's this huge man who we saw looking in the windows in our Hall we ask what are you doing in here and he pulls out his phone and shows us a text message from an unsaved number with our address written on it and something about people being inside I didn't understand it but he tells us that he's looking for his Girlfriend and that she lives here and we're like no she doesn't please remove yourself from our house he says okay and that he'll

phone his girlfriend he turns his phone low volume and he's speaking to another man on the phone who was clearly not his girlfriend but with more urgency this time we tell him to get out of the house and he says okay he leaves we lock the door and everyone is definitely shaken he's still on the phone mind you To this man outside and they're speaking a language that we don't understand but we can hear him getting angry I tell Alec to please make the guy go away and he goes outside and tells him to shift

away from our doorway as he's really scaring us he says okay and apparently there's a taxi here for him but he walks up a dead end Street where I can assure you that no taxis can go and we just sit there dumbfounded we tell our upstairs Neighbors who we had met earlier that day about the whole ordeal their names are Charlotte Matt and Rob they inform us that the same men had tried to come into their house apparently insisting his girlfriend lived there as well Charlotte already had a boyfriend who we knew of and had

also met that day Rob was definitely braver than all of us and threatened the guy with a knife the time that he came to their house and he never bothered them again and over the next Couple of weeks the man would occasionally come back and look into our bedroom windows Alec was there most of the times and to be honest I'm really glad for that I have no doubt that he tried the door again as well but it was always locked after that eventually he seemed to drop off and lose interest but I don't know

the whole thing was weird and I'm just glad that it [Music] ended in many rural areas of the American West cutting firewood in National Forest is a necessary chore if you want to warm a house through the winter our home in mountain of Central Idaho was no exception it was normal for my dad to pick me up at my brother's up after school and head into the mountains for an afternoon of firewood Gathering my dad would fell the dead trees then soore them into chunks my brothers and I had the task of rolling the wood

to the Truck and loading it we would continue this assembly line process until we had a truckload of wood usually before nightfall hot sweaty and exhausted we would pile into the truck cab and make our way down the mountain at home the next day we would unload and split the wood and stack it into neat little rows the process was repeated until we had a Winter's worth of fuel for our house our grandma's cabin and any extra for elderly Neighbors now this particular afternoon we decided to try a different Logging Road on the other side

of the valley this was well outside of our familiar logging area no real reason for the change but my dad said that he wanted a change of scenery this Logging Road had not been maintenanced in some time large rocks and Fallen branches lited the path my brothers and I had to walk out in front pushing rocks and wood out of the way as my dad lurched to the truck up The switchbacks yard by yard we slowly made our way up the mountain that hike was physically brutal I remember that much and as we ascended the

mountain and got farther into the tree this odd feeling started to set in I wasn't sure if it was the exhaustion from the hike or something else but there was a sort of electricity in the air like the whole Mountain was buzzing at a wavelength just below my senses in some odd way it felt like the Mountain knew that we were there and it wasn't welcomed to that fact I wanted to say something to my brothers but before I opened my mouth my younger brother said does anyone else feel like we're all not welcome here

my older brother and I stopped in our tracks and looked back at him both of us nodded in agreement this moment was broken by my dad honking and motioning us to continue clearing the path so reluctantly we Pushed forward to a small clearing in the woods where we finally stopped the truck my dad oblivious to our apprehension more simply choosing to ignore it grabbed his sore and went to work as the wood was felled and loaded I couldn't shake this ominous feeling enveloping me like a a dark shroud I noticed my brothers were taking occasional

glances over their shoulders as we work too everyone but my dad it seemed was on Edge the sun nestled down into the trees and Twilight began to set in as the light drained from the sky my anxiety only intensified it wasn't until my dad unexpectedly told us to load up up that a wave of relief finally flooded over me I could see the tension in my brother's melt away as well the truck wasn't fully loaded mind you which was an odity but getting a half load was a waste according to my dad we would sometimes

Work into the dark just to make sure the truck was full but tonight he seemed eager to head home for some reason with everything loaded we started down the road and although Dead Tired everyone seemed to be in a a much lighter moon now we were chatting and cracking jokes while trying to blow off some steam from the afternoon we were almost out of the tree line and into the valley desert going down the switchbacks you want to be careful especially with a Load on the back even if it was half that when a brown

blur jumped up from down the slope side of the Switchback my father swore and that was the only word that came out of my Dad's mouth as he slammed on the brakes loaded with wood and traveling downhill there was no way to avoid smashing into the blur the truck finally ground to a standstill the four of us peered through the windshield nobody saying a word illuminated in the yellow glow of our Headlights was a crumpled body of a deer grumbling and cursing the deer's existence my dad exited the truck to investigate doing as they were

told my brother stayed put in the truck I didn't listen following close behind my dad the truck was fine we hadn't been traveling fast when we smacked the deer just some hair and blood on the grill guard hitting a deer really wasn't that unusual to be honest the mountains were full of them after all but what was Unusual was that the deer dropped so quickly at faster speeds deer could still be upright and Sprint away to die in the woods after a collision that sort of last burst of an adrenaline dump this one though just

fell over like a rag doll before even approaching the carcass though a deep foul smell hit us deer smell bad when they're alive but this was on a whole another level it was the smell of Decay and rot my stomach began to turn as we got closer my nostrils Were burning as well and coming up on the deer it was clearly dead like really really dead the stench was so overwhelming that my eyes started watering in fact the body was a true horror scene the deer's eyes were gone replaced with sunken Hollow holes as if

to overcompensate for their absence the tongue was swollen and black as coal it could not be contained and it was hanging out of the side of its mouth the underbelly was split open as well And trails and AEL spilled onto the dirt in the dim headlights it sort of looked as though the deer's fur was moving wiggling almost holding my breath I bent down for a closer look and my heart stopped the deer inside and out was covered in maggots it was dead all right but our truck obviously didn't kill it clearly it had been

dead for days if not weeks I backed away wretching that electric anxiety came screaming back all Of a sudden too my dad was always the the quiet stoic type but right now even in the dim headlights of the truck I could see the abject Horror in his face his gaze was no longer on the deer but focused down the mountain poly marking the fear in his voice he told me firmly to walk back to the truck and get inside I obeyed without objection of course and as I grabbed the door handle a loud shriek came

out of the trees Branches were shattering and breaking as something was heading down the slope towards us I slammed my door closed as my dad reached the truck before his door was shut he pressed on the accelerator the truck lurched forward sending us over the deer carcass and racing down the hill with mine and my brother's yelling it was hard to tell if the shrieking was following us but our truck popped out of the tree line and into the Desert Sage Brush but once out of the Woods everything began to quieten down we were left

with only the rumble of the engine and the Wind Through the half openen Windows pulling into our property the truck came to a stop and we all just sat there in silence for a moment no one moved to leave the truck and everyone started talking at once and we all had questions like what was the screaming how does a dead deer jump up hill in front of a truck like that there was no Way the truck killed it Dad he just shook his head and motioned for us to quieten down that deer was dead when

we hit it it didn't jump out in front of us it was thrown at us when we stared at him he explained that all day up on the mountain he too had felt uneasy not wanting to worry us boys he apparently kept it to himself he described it like walking into a stranger's living room while they're Upstairs asleep and that feeling never left him and as Twilight came he actually happened to catch a shadow in the corner of his eye not far into the woods and saw figures moving from tree to tree he couldn't focus

on them long enough for a good look before they dodged behind trees but at that his stomach dropped working hard to keep his composure he hurried us to the truck to leave it was after hitting the deer and discovering that it was long dead that My dad pieced together what was happening something threw that deer to get us to stop before the shrieking began he could hear something moving in the darkness beyond the road which meant that the whole thing was a trap running back to the truck it could have started an ambush or triggered

a prey drive so we walked back to the truck instead the second that we were inside he drove that truck down the hill with No intention of stopping for anyone or anything that feeling of electricity also didn't disappear until we hit the County Highway we my brothers and I never saw anything as we drove away but those screams from the forest they will never leave my mind we didn't gather firewood the rest of the season after that for the first time in his life my dad actually just bought what we needed and although we started

to gather wood again the next Season we've never been back up that particular mountain ever the forest service has permanently closed and reclaimed that road in fact the only way back up into those woods is a long hike one that I'm definitely not interested in ever taking again whatever was on that mountain whatever threw that deer carcass or whatever chased us out of the woods that day it didn't want us there it wanted us gone or maybe worse maybe it wanted us Dead as a young child or a young teen I lived in a a

very strange situation in the woods I'm not sure if this encounter may have been some kind of entity or perhaps something different but I do hope that someone can give me more information at least about what happened to me and my friend so I female was around 12 years old at the time and one of my best friends Alex must must have been about 10 Alex's father had purchased a large Amount of forested land around maybe 100 km away from the city that we lived in Montreal Canada it was all Forest when Alex's family acquired

it they cleared a little patch to build a house and the rest was pure unadulterated Forest their land was cut in two by a dirt road that if you followed it for several colomet led to a few houses and their land was very different depending on which side of the dir road that you looked on the right side where their House was the forest was light and luminous or at least it felt that way it wasn't too dense with little Rolling Hills and a lovely place to play on the left side of the road however

it was another story first there was a deep ditch maybe 2 m deep which then became quite high in a steep hill weirdly enough as well all along the long road the ditch was full of car parts a set of car wheels here a door there a a steering wheel way over There all old and overgrown with moss and over the Steep Hill the forest gave off a a really bad Vibe it had lots of very tall dark trees with almost black Trunks and the place seemed somehow devoid of light or life climbing the hill

which we seldom were willing to do because of the creeps that it gave us there was some part of swamp there as well when we were there there was this sort of strange pressure as well we sensed a kind of animal Instinct that told us to leave the place I guess but the strange atmosphere was spontaneously obvious to me and Alex and we playfully called that side of the road the demons Forest now one weekend probably in 2001 or 2002 my family and I came to visit Alex's family bored by the adults my friend and

I decided to go and play in the forest Alex's father told us to watch out there was an animal that had been rumaging in their trash bin and Causing other nuisances apparently he said that it was a dog that looked somewhat like a rot wheeler that surely belonged to somebody living up the dirt road he warned us though that we shouldn't interact with the dog if we saw it as it didn't look healthy as far as he could tell or there was something weird about it he said that it somehow looked diseased or contagious or

had patches of fur missing I can't remember exactly but it was something Like that in any case we set out on our walk eventually it was Autumn and the leaves were pretty and golden many having already fallen to the ground it was a calm slightly overcast windless day the air was really still and calm that day and Alex and I decided to walk along the dirt road with the pleasant section of the forest to our right and demons Forest to our left we chattered while following the road as it was rising up a slope and

as usual we were Slightly creeped out going up the road because of the weird Vibes of the forest to the left side but we were challenging ourselves to be brave and trying not to really think about how unsettling it felt now a good distance away from their home when it was already well out of sight I noticed the first strange thing of the day out of the Steep Hill on the left side of the road there was a very large and dark pine tree hanging over the road Ro somebody had attached a pink Ribbon to

one of the branches which was already a bit strange since this was territory of Alex's family and they had no daughters or other little girls likely hanging around or other people who may be owners of pink ribbons who were likely to hang out in this deserted Road anyway the strange thing though was that the ribbon was flailing strongly in the wind its loose ends were flapping almost horizontally but it was a completely Windless day there was no wind to speak of the ribbon was within my reach so I touched it as it was flailing I

even flicked my finger and held it in the air to check if I could feel any wind or current or anything as my dad had taught me but the air was perfectly still I mentioned it to my friend he seemed distracted and was younger than me and sometimes didn't catch on to what I said so I didn't press the matter we continued our climb and eventually we Reached a place where the hill on the left side of the road had a sort of gentler slope and began further away from the road in fact it looked

as if the hill was kind of carved out in a way that would have made it easy for us to climb to get into Demon's Forest it almost seemed as if the hill was carved into a sloping sort of half circle like in a theater I guess and the road that we stood on would have been stage it gave us a very clear treeless View of the hillside though full of golden and red fallen leaves the trees began at the top of the hill maybe 9 M away we stopped to admire the view Canadian autumns

a sight to behold let me tell you when Alex suddenly got really excited he thought that he heard something in the Demon's Woods up the hill and he really wanted to pay attention he explained that there are wild cats in that Forest that they had spotted them with his dad apparently and One of them had reportedly had kittens kittens being one of the most exciting things in the world for kids our age getting us riled up a bit but somehow and for some reason my hackles were up and I couldn't really relax even thinking about

the adorable wild kittens he actually thought that he had heard the cat meow in the forest up the hill close by I heard nothing of the sort and thought that he was inventing it it but he suggested that we try Meowing at it to see if it would respond maybe it would even bring its kittens along and we could see them and play with them he said I hadn't heard any sounds at all and didn't really like this idea of screaming meows into the creepy Forest I mean what kind of wild cat would respond to

human children anyway wouldn't it be obvious that we were not cats by the sound of us it seemed like a dumb idea to me but hey I was a little bit old But before I could try to talk him out of it he loudly meowed into the forest and to my out of shock the forest meowed back Alex was delighted so he meowed again something in the forest answered again I was actually shocked this just didn't make any sense to me and it creeped me out but I suspended my disbelief to see what would happen

he kept meowing over and over and for every one of his meows there was one coming back in response from the Woods something immediately felt off to me feral or wild animals didn't behave that way and even at 12 years old I realize that and it wasn't an echo either the cat did not bounce back any sound that we threw at it except meows which reciprocated immediately and anyway there were no hard Rocky surfes around of which sound could bounce off off like that everything was covered in a soft layer of sound dulling leaves if

anything Alex though seemed to get even More excited listen the cat is coming towards us she's coming to see us with her kittens to my surprise he was right too there was a a rustle of Dead Leaves coming from above us from above the slope in the creepy Forest it seemed like the rustling was getting closer to us as well but it was way off because cats are small and light and careful with their steps right they don't make a Ruckus when they walk Through the woods but here the rustling leaves sounded extremely obvious along

with the meowing in fact it sounded more like I don't know steps like someone with two legs walking in the leaves and it was getting closer to us my alarm signals were starting to go off at this point with the wrongness of it all while my younger friend was completely Oblivious he was calling it more vly noticing that it was coming towards us then I realized what seemed so wrong the sound was coming toward us but there was nothing to be seen there what I mean is that right in front of us we had the

gently sloping Hill treeless and clearly visible anything coming from the forest we should have been able to plainly see it but there was nothing no source for the rustling sound nothing moving but we could clearly hear the Meowing my friend then said oh her kittens are joining her listen there are more sounds they're coming to play with us and he was right the walking sound seemed to have multiplied now and they were coming from various directions all at once they were getting closer but as I spun around to look around us there was nothing visible

something was way off and I wanted to leave at this point but Alex was getting mad at me the kittens were Almost here and he wanted to see them so he insisted at this point it was extremely tense and my FAL flight was activating from the wrongness of it all we were alone and quite Exposed on this theater stage to whatever was getting closer to us which was more and more obviously with every moment decidedly not kittens I was on the verge to force him to go and run home and then suddenly I heard a

very loud panting sound right at My feet during the first millisecond I got only mildly surprised because we had a huge husky at home I was used to it panting next to my feet I guess but then a sense of profound dread just dawned on me as I I realized that obviously my dog was not there and it must have been another dog a very big one by the sound of it right at my feet I panicked looked down ready to jump away from the dog that somehow got extremely close to me Almost on me

in fact without my noticing only there was absolutely nothing at my feet but I could still hear the loud breathy panting sound coming from there I whirl around all 360° screaming where is it coming from there's nothing at my feet or anywhere around me there's nothing here yet the sound clearly was there as I WHL about in a frenzy I look up the dirt road that we were following and maybe around 100 m Away at the top of the slope I see a lone dog just standing there and it looks somewhat like a rotweiler but

very very bad in shape extremely unkempt with patches of fur missing Shaggy and dirty as heck with some skin exposed Where the Fur is missing it looks down at us too and obviously there's no way that I could hear it panting at that distance but it almost seemed as though the source of the sound that it was making was at my feet Somehow at that point the flat Instinct winds inside of me and I have never run as desperately and as fast in my whole life thank goodness it was downhill Alex kept pace right beside

me terrified as well now we did make it home in one piece but we never did walk in those woods ever again after that I came to Alex's Place several times in my life I never wanted to walk in the woods again we had amazing parties at his house as teens I was Often there rather drunk and having a great time but I always had this very stressful sensation when I went out of his house especially at night when I slept over there I also had this extremely strange experiences where when I woke up I

sort of sensed as if something was there and was observing me in my mid awake state I even saw something floating near the ceiling one day I Never Had The Sensation that it was an immediate threat though whatever It was it seemed to be observing I'm not sure that whatever this was was related to what happened on the dirt road but I thought it was worth mentioning we never did discuss what happened that day after that but as I researched it for myself I found out that the land was historically owned perhaps by Mohawk if

anybody can help clarify what happened then I would be thankful because it is the weirdest thing to dat That has ever happened to me so I used to live in a three-story house with my parents younger sibling and our dog we moved into this house a few months before my younger sibling was born and that was when we first met the neighbors across the street Lucas who was the oldest child in their family was always a bit strange and there were some aspects of his personality that were more than just strange they were straight up

disturbing It would take hours to cover everything so I'm just going to get straight to the point I'm almost positive that Lucas has been inside of our house in the middle of the night our house was built on a hill so it looked like it was only two stories from the front and the basement was connected to the backyard but the yards in this neighborhood were much larger than they are in the newer Housing Development so it would have been very Easy for someone to enter our backyard unkown noticed despite this my family was terrible

about making sure all of the basement doors were always locked my younger sibling and I would always go in and out when we were playing in the backyard or someone would go down to let the dog out and we would end up forgetting to lock one of the doors before bed we also lived in an area where it Was common for people to leave their doors unlocked however my family did always lock the door leading down to the basement every night along with all of the doors on the main level of the house I had

a really messed up sleep schedule back then too so I would usually be still awake at like 3:00 or 4: in the morning and there are two specific instances that happened very late at night which make me think that Lucas has been inside of our house without our knowledge so one night I was in my bedroom on the upper level of the house it was probably around 2:30 in the morning when I suddenly heard the sound of an angry ow coming from downstairs it was probably 2:30 in the morning when I suddenly heard the sound

of an angry growl coming from downstairs thinking that my dog had spotted a cat in the front yard I Quickly rushed downstairs to stop him from barking and waking up my entire family this kind of thing would happen every now and then so I wasn't thinking too much of it at the time but instead of going downstairs and finding my dog by the front window I found him by the locked door that leads down to the basement the fur on the back of his neck was standing up and his nose was pressed to the bottom

of the door I instantly froze when I realized what was Happening there was something or someone on the other side of the basement door I was barely a teenager at the time so I began to panic and started making my way upstairs as quietly as possible I woke up both of my parents but neither of them took me very seriously my dad just assumed that my dog was hearing random noises coming from outside but he did eventually go down to check things out he said that everything downstairs looked normal but he also Mentioned that he

forgot to lock one of the basement doors that night then there was another time that I was up late and in my room but this time instead of hearing my dog growling I heard a loud bark that echoed through the entire house the sound was sudden and intense similar to a gunshot I suppose and it almost made me jump out of my chair at first assuming again that my dog had seen a cat outside I quickly looked out of my bedroom window and Tried to spot whatever he was barking at but my heart suddenly dropped

when instead of seeing a cat I saw Lucas running out of our front yard in the pitch black I watched him run across the street and back towards his own house before I rushed to close the curtains and duck out of sight I remember sitting there struggling to process what I had just seen and questioning why Lucas would be in our yard in the middle of The night like that I told my mom about it the very next morning and she said that she would bring it up to Lucas's mom but because of these two

instances and because of other details that I cannot really include I'm almost 99% sure that Lucas has been in side of our house in the middle of the night if you knew the entire story behind this family then you would also find the thought of this to be extremely Disturbing I do want to mention though that this all happened years ago my family no longer lives in that house and those neighbors across the street are doing fine but looking back on everything now I'm realizing just how creepy the situation truly was [Music] I work as

an inspection clerk for a real estate agency in a medium-sized town a mining town actually so needless to say I see a lot Of houses it's worth noting too that a lot of houses are really creepy with big inspections I could be in a house till it's getting dark out in my job I take pictures of a range of categories in an area for example like the walls the ceiling Windows floor cupboards you get the picture noises like ticks and tacks or common occurrences I attribute them to the house settling or the roof getting hot

and cold Etc but one day one of the agents comes to me and asks me to do an inspection on a house that she was apparently too freaked out to do herself and this house had my hair on edge the moment that I got in the front door I would describe my feeling as an urge to get out or that I'm in danger from the start my senses are all over the place they normally are I mean I'm always aware that someone could come in Behind me I always lock the gates and main doors behind

me because of this so putting my feelings aside trying not to listen to them I start my work I'm doing the entrance the dining room and I get to the living room there's a door to the front yard in the living room and and I note that the windows door and curtain fixtures are of a pretty old style I guess so I began noting down that the house must be pretty old and that was when I start to hear Someone's feet shuffling coming from the hallway behind me it almost sounded like morning and slippers going

to make coffee with a yawn type of Shuffle I pause for a bit and listen but it doesn't happen again so I just go back to work work down the hallway there's another mirror at the end with two rooms on my right and two bathrooms on my left I go into the first room on the right I notice a strong odor and think that it Must be the carpet turns out that it was rotten there's also a lot of stains on the carpet and as I'm sort of jotting this down I hear a voice at

first I thought it was the agent checking up on me so I walked to the front door and I see nothing so I go back to work feeling a little bit more on edge now I go back to working marking down the stains on the carpet and this time I hear a distinctive No I stopped dead in my tracks and start looking around the room really freaked out at this point I couldn't see anything or anyone so I finished the room and I head to the main bedroom keeping an eye out now convinced that there

must be somebody in the house with me I finish up the room without much happening I'm walking out of the room into the hallway typing notes on my phone but out of the corner of my eye I see someone that looks like A person in the mirror directly on my right standing at the end of the hall I turn to the mirror and when I do it's nothing I look down the hall and there's nobody there I let out a quiet and big gasp as this happened and sort of chuckled at myself eventually heading into

the room in front of me that leads to an entertainment area I then hear the shuffling again from the hall I'm standing there listening when The first bedroom's door slamed shut panicking I'm going through the whole house trying to find someone messing with me but has nobody there but it's then that I hear a female voice loudly saying move this time I definitely Hur it too I really hurt it I start to head to the front door because my nerves are absolutely shot as I get to the front door the first rooms door that I

have opened again slams shut so now I'm just noing it out of the house I stand Outside collecting myself ready to go back in I say a prayer for myself and I go back in to the entertainment area nothing much happens after that just some shuffling in the hall as before but eventually I'm just too far to hear it I finish the inspection and start heading out unlocking the front door I hear now in the same voice by this point I am absolutely done with this and I just say back yeah yeah I'm leaving and

I hi tail it out of There as fast as I could later I learned the man staying there had lost his job and wife in the same month his mother was sick ly and in bed most of the time in the first month hence the smell and the stains I'm unsure if she passed away in that house but all I know is that he went missing for 4 months not paying rent and was apparently evicted the maintenance guy comes to me after work is done and said dude that House is freaky telling me that his

guys were telling him stories about stuff happening like light switches turning off by themselves moans and noises you name it the house is now being rented by the mines for their workers but I haven't heard anything from them yet but I doubt that it'll last [Music] long so this all starts when me and my two buddies me 19 and them 20 and 17 went to go fish off this Bank on the River in the afternoon the layout is that you drive over the levy before you drop down into a boat ramp or parking area right

next to the river we brought pizza beer weed music and of course our rods hoping that we' just hang out and do some late night fishing at this point we're all set up on the bank with our chairs and speaker having a nice evening and it's probably been 2 hours about 9:00 p.m. now all three of us were feeling good with some Beers in our system and then we all of a sudden hear two cars with super super loud music pull up and everybody gets out the cars must have had four or five people in

each one because I heard a lot of people talking but it was all in Spanish so I couldn't really make anything out we tried to ignore it but then it gets so loud that we just couldn't enjoy ourselves so we start packing up our stuff to head back to the car and just chill out while we sober up While we're Gathering our things we start to hear what sounds like an argument go down we start to hear lots of glass shattering and people screaming at the top of their lungs they couldn't see us but they

were basically no more than 20 ft behind our heads at this point we're just keeping quiet and then you start to hear what sounded like somebody getting punched repeatedly and then a loud Splash into the river by the boat ramp and someone saying no leave Him leave him which was the only word spoken in English we didn't know what we had just heard happen and we didn't want to stick around to find out the three of us tracked back up the Steep incline to get back to the car but as soon as we came into

their view they all got back into the two cars and quickly sped back over the levy except we spotted one of the cars just sitting on the top of the levy slowly geping Forward when we turned our car on that car then went fully over the levy we realized that we were the only car left in the parking lot and it was now pitch black outside again it's around 9:30 we sat there for no more than 30 seconds just trying to process what we had just heard go down and then we decided that we needed

to get out of there completely and park somewhere to sober up all the way as we're going over the levy the road goes over it and then down and Makes a a sort of sharp left there right after we take the sharp left our hearts drop when we see four cars lined up completely horizontal across the road blocking us from getting through there's Orchards on our left and right so there's really no going around at all at this point my buddy just gassed it straight towards their bumpers to try and split in between the cars

and get out of there even if it meant damage in the front end of his car just as we do That one of the forast slightly moved out of the way creating a gap we flew right through it and we got the heck out of there and they were laying on their horn while we passed through we don't know what their intentions were but clearly there were two cars in the boat ramp area where we were at and two cars on the other side of the levy blocking the road from anybody else coming in I

ended up filing a police report just in case they really Did dump a body into the river it happens all the time here but I haven't heard anything back whatever was going on that night it was definitely one of the most terrifying experiences that I've ever had [Music] When We Were Young my cousins and I had a bush House at the End of the back Garden just before the garden opened up into the heath aded me being a full-time wheelchair user from birth it was Grand's idea that instead of having a tree house that had

to be climbed it would be safer and more practical to have a bush house that all of us kids could use even though we protested greatly as although I'm disabled I fre used to climb trees in the local parks and over the Heath with the help of my cousins obviously but gr's word was Final and we never argued with her as she was a beautiful and lovely matriarch but also as tough as an old Boot and Very scary when pushed so with all of that said we busied ourselves on choosing an appropriate Bush for our

new play area on selecting a perfect one Gran delegated tasks to the older boys to clear the outer area of the Bush and also make a little hollow inside of it with pieces of spare wood on the ground to serve as a a basic floor so that my little wheelchair could run safely and easily inside of it Gran was reasonably young at that time and while the boys Were doing the heavy work she arranged us younger ones and getting Furniture supplies and accessories to make our new play Space cozy and comfortable for all of us

but year later our old Bush house was in full use in the daytime us younger ones played in an after school on weekends and holidays and in the evenings and nights it was a place where the older cousins could have some privacy away from well the eyes of Gran and Mom and to do whatever they did our Bush house was cozy though we got chairs bean bags and floor cushions donated by relatives and Friends of the family we also had a small table that we had a tablecloth for and our Auntie J made some pretty

curtains that we hung up the best that we could but we even had a cupboard where we kept snacks in and only when the older boys or mom were there we were allowed to use the camping stove to heat tined beans and sausages or pot noodles up and make some tea gr's Bingo friend Jean donated a hand me- down rug it was shabby and out of date but we thought that it was cool now it was slap bang in the middle of the summer holidays probably early July when this happened L and I were seven

and G was 11 our older cousin G's brother a was their early but by 3:00 had grown tired of hanging around with us and had gone out with his mates the three of them were coming back later to make us all dinner on the stove Al and I were Sitting at the table playing beggar your neighbor with a pack of playing cards that we got from the living room cupboard and G was sitting in the corner of the Bush House on a bean bag reading The Secret Garden I think for the third time in other

words it was just another normal at home day nothing unusual or odd occurred till around 4: when we all heard a sound that was at odds with the peaceful Scene It was sort of between a growl and an owl's hoot and a man Mumbling we were particularly outdoorsy kids being born and raised in the outskirts of urban London but being bright little girls we all knew that alows are nocturnal creatures and the accompanying sounds that were mixed with The Hoots didn't come from the same bird the weird sounds were joined by a affertive and stealthy

rustling coming from the back of the Bush house actually it was really near to where G was sitting and she jumped up stifling a Scream by covering her mouth with her hands we also saw a dark doglike shape through the dense foliage of the back of the Bush house which incidentally LED straight onto the beginning of the heath as I said earlier the strangest thing about this figure was that it was very present but also rather ethereal almost as if the figure was attempting to hide intentionally also throughout this period there were no other natural

Sounds No bird sounds No insect sounds and no background human noise being right in the center of a council state you could always hear people talking cars revving and dogs barking all the regular noises of urban community living but at that time it was as if the entire world had paused and us three were the only ones conscious and present along with this mysterious figure we really didn't know what to do but we gathered together and both G and L took one handle of my wheelchair and pulled me back out of our Bush house not

taking our eyes off of the translucent figure as we went when we were free from the bush house and close enough to home for us to feel out of danger and safe we just looked at each other very doubtfully but I could tell that we were all terrified gee suddenly said stay here don't move or speak okay she ran to the garden shed and climbed up the side to The minky rotten roof I completely lost it at this point letting out a squeal of utter fear quick witted as usual though Al put her hand over

my mouth and hushed me Al and I watched while G looked over the hedge R which divided our back Garden from the beginning of the heath from our position her face was clearly visible and G's expression was a mixture of confusion surprise and fright and her pretty brown eyes looked really troubled we waited for G to come back to Us before asking her in Earnest what she saw she didn't answer straight away but when she did she said it was so strange I didn't see anything no dogs no other animals she paused her young mind

trying to summon the words to explain what she witnessed there was a a man I I saw the back of him walking away towards the iron fence my seven-year-olds mind found it hard to comprehend what G was saying and One look at L told me that she was experiencing the same we both said together what Mani what did he look like G sighed biting her lip a habit that she still has to today when she's anxious or worried or trying to explain something tricky or difficult well well I didn't see him properly his face and

all that I only saw his back he did have really long scruffy hair though her eyes wandered over nervously to the end of the garden Leaning out to the very Public Heath El and I both followed G's gaze we all shuddered and nobody spoke for ages for a long time we sat in silence G and L sitting on the back step and me on my wheelchair alongside of of them when suddenly I noticed something and exclaimed to the others listen everything's back to normal we all listened and the regular everyday noises had returned the world

appeared to have resumed business as Usual a while later a and his two mates came back and sensing some tension from us they asked us what was up we did tell them everything and two of them ran back to have a look around they were gone for about 45 minutes when they returned they said that they didn't see anything no strange men no animals nothing unusual or dodgy at all so we spent the rest of the day hanging out with the boys eating dinner in the bush house and later watching films and eating junk Food

we never did tell Mom about the experience until a few years back long after we were grown and we still don't know or cannot explain what what the heck happened that [Music] day in January to May of 2022 my mom and I had to move out of our house due to my father passing away unexpectedly at home a friend of my mom's whose mom had also passed away who used to live in the house as well was Nice enough to offer that we live there until we could find a different house and get back up

on our feet we had stayed at this house before to watch her dogs for shorter periods of time like for a week while they went on vacation every time that we would stay over she would say let me know if the spirits do anything while we're away and I'll get on to them but don't forget to just politely tell them to stop don't be rude that was pretty much exactly what she Said too we would hear noises around the house see figures outside see Shadows down the hallway and we would tell them to stop and

it would stop stopped for a few hours or so but when we first settled into the new house after fully moving in everything was fine as it should be after that terrifying experience of my dad passing in front of us it was a relief but I do remember on the first night I was on a call with my boyfriend because I couldn't sleep and I Remember hearing things that made me a little scared my boyfriend does not believe in the Paranormal so he would always say uh it's just the house settling and whatnot but I

knew that it wasn't some things that have happened to me while I live in this house are as follows I had an old cabinet that the homeowner's mother who just died as well used to own in my room I had clothes and my skin care inside so I would use it Daily it was hard to close and we had to essentially clamp it shut or else the door would swing out by itself as well so like every morning I specifically remember clamping it but when I got home the doors were both fully open and one

of my sweaters looked like it had been thrown on the floor the weirdest thing though is that my mom had arrived home maybe 25 minutes before and she said that the cabinet was closed which meant that this happened in The span of like 25 minutes sometimes I would get home very late after being at my boyfriend's house until 9 10 or perhaps even 11: I would get ready for bed take a shower and get water from the kitchen but where my room was located you had to walk past the front door which is fully glass

and I would always see figures in the yard or maybe even on the porch walking around out there the homeowner's mother who died absolutely loved one of the dogs Her name is Lady whenever she wanted lady around she would always call out her name in a very specific and memorable way and one day it was just my sister and I in the house I was in the kitchen and she was in the guest bedroom by my room and I heard what sounded exactly like the mom yelling for lady it was loud I run to my

sister's room and I asked did you call Lady and no why would I she said she's laying on her bed right there she Pointed at the floor on the far side of the bed and sure enough there she was now the final experience I will be talking about definitely is not the last I've had but this is the biggest one for me and it's happened to me twice now so everyone was there at evening the homeowner and her husband my mom my sister my boyfriend and I were all in the house at this point we

were having a big dinner I can't remember what for but I went into the kitchen to go and get a Drink and my sister said that she was going to do the same so I figured that she was right behind me I'm standing facing away from the entrance and I swear to you that I felt someone touch my shoulder not too firm but not gentle either I say what and turn around only to see my sister just then walking into the kitchen my mouth dropped at that and I asked did you just touch my shoulder

she looked at me like I was crazy I just Walked in I started to freak out no somebody just touched my shoulder people ran into the kitchen to calm me down the homeowner looked at me in shock and said no one has ever been touched by the spirits in this house maybe my daughter has been years ago when she was very little they would always mess with her but I'm still not sure why she was exactly touched but after that it's safe to say that I never entered the kitchen alone Ever again so yeah there

you have it those are some of the experiences that I've had in that house the last exper experience has forever changed my life I think about it daily in fact for context to the house is 100 plus years old the homeowner grew up in that house and her father passed in the living room her mother lived with her up until a couple of days before she passed she passed in hospice my mom and I had moved in right After witnessing my dad pass at our house and he very well could have followed us there and

the area of Virginia that we lived in was surrounded by battlefields so who knows what was going on on really all I do know is that it is an experience that I will never forget
