Creepy Stories For A Long, Arduous, And Disturbing Night

this was my first time that I would say that I ever experienced anything remotely paranormal in my life that lasted for a long time and wasn't just some one-off sound or seeing something move as you can probably tell I'm generally a skeptic about these things and I look for a rational explanation in anything even though I definitely want to be proven wrong now this happened late at night definitely a few hours after midnight at least I was having trouble sleeping around this time in my life for one reason or another but it wasn't uncommon for

me to be fully awake in regular intervals throughout the night I remember that I needed to get up to go to the bathroom but the whole house was Pitch Black and everybody was asleep the door to my room creaks like crazy and is very loud when you shutter to even normally So to avoid disturbing my family I was very careful to slowly unlatch it so as to not make any noise crack the door slowly and when I returned make sure the door shut before I released the knob slowly to not make a large click or

a sound I laid back down in bed still unfortunately wide awake just trying to make myself tired then something weird happened I heard my door knob slowly turn and unlatch the same way that I had done a couple of minutes before and the door cracked open about an inch my bed was only a couple of feet from the door so I watched it open wide awake no one was behind the door when it opened though I half expected my dad to peek in and ask if I was okay since I was still awake but no

at this point I was getting a little bit spooked I was sure that I had closed and latched the door since I was so intentional about not making any noise I laid there for a good while maybe four or 5 minutes before I reached over and just shut the door not caring about any noise anymore it was shut this time for sure as well and it closed loudly so I knew a few minutes later as I'm trying to fall asleep I start to hear something else down the hallway I can hear footsteps coming up the

stairs the Cadence was slow but I could hear each stare I perked up to listen and the weirdest thing happened the steps seemed to start over as I started to pay attention this happened a couple of times too where the footsteps would reach almost the top of the stairs and then start over at the bottom I know that they were starting over since a couple of the stairs at the bottom have a distinctive creaking unlike the upper ones I was obviously very confused listening to this over and over and and I tried to lay down

and ignore it but then the steps stopped starting over and over and this time when they reached the top of the stairs they came down the hall and stopped just outside of my door I remember in the Dead Silence too I heard the faint sound of feet settling into the carpet that was when the breathing started too it was light at first and progressively got heavier and more labored deep breaths turned to gasping breaths which evolved into crackling and raspy inhales almost like that of a lifelong smoker it sounded like someone was right outside of

my door and for some reason just standing there breathing at the time this felt like it had lasted half an hour at least when it maybe only lasted a couple of minutes at this point I'm laying down stiff as a board trying to look at anything but the door my heart was beating out of my chest and then finally it stopped but not before whatever was standing out there let out what sounded like a raspy chuckle you could probably chalk all this up to a lack of sleep and an overactive imagination at the time I

know that but all I can say is that in now 24 years I have never had anything similar like this happen to me ever again and having the same sleep problems regularly since middle school I still get chills thinking about that night I wonder if anybody else has had anything similar happened to them because if you have then I feel deeply sorry for you it's something that I wouldn't wish on anyone and it's a very very frightening experience to go through and something that never leaves you yesterday my wife wakes up at about 2:30 in

the morning while freaking out she woke up to our 9-year-old non-verbal son putting his face against hers then she went back to sleep later and quickly woke up to a Mexican song all about life being pointless playing and repea in her head followed by hearing a voice of kill yourself being heard she was reasonably scared and wakes me up every time that she gets freaked out so we stayed up a little bit and then went back to sleep together later tonight the following day I wake up at about the same time but I get a

repeat of Britney Spears Hit Me Baby but only the line of my loneliness is killing me for five straight minutes playing in my head in an almost outwardly audible fashion I was a little bit scared at first but I justed tried to go back to sleep and ignore it but then I heard the little trampoline springs next to me Creak loudly as if someone had got onto it I'm currently sitting alone and scared to sleep when I can usually brush these things off by the way I've been sleeping on the couch recently because my kid

has also been trying to escape out of the door next to it in the middle of the night we have bought locks and alarms but I just still don't feel safe without being there to protect him I can assure you too that I never listened to Britney Spear so I was kind of shocked that that song popped into my head I also woke up extremely hot and sweaty despite it being cold in the living room as soon as I put on my sweater out of habit my sweater cooled me to my core instead of heating

me up as well which was really weird when I experience stuff like this I usually get angry on purpose and talk out loud against the negative energy that I'm feeling I do this because that has helped every time in the past against falling into fear to weird occurrences like this anyway I can't sleep and I'm having a tough time understanding any of this my wife last night when she experienced her situation kept saying that a demon is here she and I are both atheists though and I tried my best to explain to her that this

was all from stress and that she had recently just heard the song in the car that day so it was all just in her head she seemed to buy the explanation so she was able to sleep soon after now the same thing has happened to me but with a song that I haven't heard in ages and I've woken up with songs playing in my head obviously before like anyone but they always go through the whole song in a continuous stretch having the song only play a single and very disturbing phrase definitely is a a little

bit weird like I said I don't really believe in this stuff but it almost seems like I was being mocked maybe especially because I was out here alone but I've been fine with it my loneliness is killing me as if me being alone would lead to something being able to easily kill me or something I didn't interpret it as the original lyrics obviously meant for one second I interpreted it as if something was preying on me due to me currently being alone and well that's it I apologize if it's a bit jumbled but it's due

to a lack of sleep and I would really like your opinions on what this might be is it all just in our heads or is there something more going on here I want to preface this with saying that I've hunted and hiked in the region since I was 9 years old in other words I am very familiar with the wildlife and the sounds of the forest to you I'm not really a believer in any of this sort of thing but I just don't really have an explanation for what happened tonight so I hiked about a

mile and a half through forest and swamp hunting deer today and got to the pocket of woods and a field that I wanted to be in and climbed a tree to hunt out of by by all accounts this was an uneventful afternoon and evening until sundown for about 30 straight minutes I listen to a rabbit be tortured and just wouldn't die if you'd heard a dog or a hawk get a rabbit or hunted rabbits then you know what I'm talking about when they're distressed they scream bloody murder and this just seemed to continue forever naturally

this can make you on edge but I figured that a hawk got it and was just killing it but then the sound of a twig snapping and silence the rabbit had stopped through the thicket I could make out a figure vaguely deer shaped moving through the woods at about 35 yards away so I grabbed my bow but the undergrowth is far too thick for me to pick out much more than a rough outline it walked behind a tree and disappeared the sun is now fully set and I'm in like the last 15 minutes of post

Sundown light and that's when I hear in a flat emotionless child's voice coming from where that dear disappeared help over and over again no fluctuation or distress to the voice not said as if it was asking for help but just a statement help help over and over again it must have said that probably 15 times and then the woods went silent there wasn't even a breeze to make a sound now then a crack of a limb off of a tree snapping and at that all hell broke loose in those woods squirrels birds and deer suddenly

shot out of this wood like bats out of hell sounding like an absolute Stampede through the forest and then suddenly silence again to make things worse for me I lost my hat clipped light on the walkin and had to haul but a mile and a half Through the Woods back to my truck in complete darkness my path only lit up by tonight's full moon anyway I went back to the woods this morning last night after getting back to my truck I called a few friends to let them know what had happened and then had a

relatively sleepless night to boot this morning I couldn't stop thinking about it so I decided that I needed to return I grabbed my hunting dog called up a buddy to come with me and set out back to to those Woods first I drove around the property but nobody was parked at any trail head so there shouldn't be anyone around we took a long way around heading north to get to the woods though a few miles from the parking area stopped to talk looked for animal signs and listened as we go we approached the woods from

the south keeping on the outside of it all in a tall grassy wet field as we approached within 200 or so yards of where I had heard it last night we stopped to talk for a moment and to plan how best to go about entering the woods this isn't some sort of manicured Forest by the way that's easy to walk in on the undergrowth is dense and filled with thorny shrubs and Buckthorn whereas yesterday and in the weeks past this area was teeming with life deer pheasants hundreds of turkeys and their pts crows squirrels and

rabbits today the woods here in the fields were complet completely silent and as we discussed this it was then that I realized that my dog was nowhere to be seen or heard she normally wears a bell or at least the metal pieces of her collar are sufficient for me to hear where she is but it is completely silent she wears an e-collar that I can press a button that will make a beeping noise that I can hear and I press that button and there's silence I yelled for her but there was silence then coming from

the forest ahead of me I hear the yelping of my dog in pain loud and clearly my dog I look at my friend and take off towards the woods calling and beeping the collar and calling and beeping again but it was back to silence I look at my buddy and he asks what are you doing as if he hadn't heard it we stop and wait for a moment on the edge of the woods I call one more time and finally hear the jingle of her coll coming up to me but completely unharmed and from the

opposite direction of where I thought that I'd heard her crying confused we distanced ourselves from the woods again and continued North along the edge again we neither heard or saw any Wildlife we found a few spots where things were recently killed staining the ground with rotted blood but no signs of anything living eventually we turned back and as we crossed the same spot that I thought that I'd heard my dog my friend stopped looked at me in a panic and said oh your dog and took off running to the woods I called after him asking

what he was doing and he said that he'd heard her clearly crying in pain in the woods and was confused when I said that I had heard nothing it was just the same as when we had first walked by and I was the one who' heard it I could see my dog in the opposite direction smelling around totally unharmed and not distressed at all I called to my friend that the dog is fine and was over by me and at that we decided to rush out now for those that might ask what else may it

be I have heard my dog yelping before and I can assure you that that was definitely it it doesn't sound anything like coyotes or Wolves or anything like that and I defin Ely won't be returning to that area ever again for about 10 years my family of five rented a house that we just never felt was quite right it was my wife and I and our son and two daughters the house it shared land with a trailer park and my kids made friends with a lot of the kids in the area that's important for later

as well but over that time the kids would talk about some things that they'd experienced they had lots of dreams that took place in the house apparently mostly the dreams were frightening as well but sometimes they were warnings they said now one morning before heading to school my oldest told me about the nightmare that he'd had the night before then when my middle woke up she told me about the nightmare that she had the night before after school I told them both that they had experienced a shared dream because they both had told me the

exact same nightmare once my youngest had her leg pulled while sleeping but thought that her big sister was just messing with her until the following morning when she asked her about it things in the house would sometimes move or Shake but almost always just on the edge of vision and we always tried to explain it away as just seeing things the kids they would sometimes see a shadow person wearing a tall hat in their periphery but they also insisted that there was something masquerading as a little girl but they weren't sure if it was the

same entity taking multiple shapes we bought a house in early 2021 maybe about half an hour away from the old place and we eventually moved out over the next few weeks the kids at that time they were 18 16 and 14 finally felt safe and they opened up to my wife and I about all of the things that they had experience there there was a lot that they didn't talk about while we lived there and many more details shared about some of the things that I had mentioned above it was now all out in the

open and hearing all three of them talk about things definitely made me a bit of a Believer but now they were just spooky stories and all of it was in our past or so I thought at least you see last night my oldest had a dream they were talking to their sister or middle kid in our current house they were just chatting and she told him that she had to get some homework done so my son said good night and headed to their room they closed the door and their current room was gone and they

found themselves in their old bedroom and were immediately uneasy as the dream turned into a nightmare it ended when one of our current cats never lived at that old place by the way scared them out of their dream by jumping out of their bedroom closet which had always been a bit of a hot spot back in the day he went to the closet door and slammed it shut and immediately there were three hard knocks on the door from the inside he apparently manifested a lock for the door in the dream locked it and woke up

it was just after midnight and he told me about it immediately he was visibly shaken and teor as he told me about it but felt better after getting it out I though got Shivers as they told it but told myself that I could just chalk it up to residual Trauma from the old house or something but then this afternoon he mentioned it to his sister and they started talking about the old house a bit she mentioned that she was at a Halloween bonfire a few weeks ago with friends and found out that one of of

her friends is very close with the family that recently moved into that old house either the third or fourth family that has lived there since we left by the way that friend told her at the bonfire though that the family had just had a cleansing or exorcism done on the house after the mom started seeing a shadowman in a top hat the timing definitely worries me that exorcism would have happened about a month ago and now my oldest is dreaming of the place I have heard that things can latch on to you when you leave

a place but it's been almost 4 years and there just was nothing I've asked my daughter to get the name of whoever did the work at the old house and we may actually have a cleansing of Our Own in the future I guess I'm just worried that the cleansing just sort of kicked it out of the old place and freed it up to find its way to get back to us I have no personal experience with cleansings only what I've seen on TV or in movies really and so that's why I'm here is this possible

or is it just a coincidence and if it isn't should we do some sort of cleansing event this happened a long time ago now but I remember when I was younger I had a walkie-talkie that my grandma got me for my birthday at one point and well one night I'm assuming someone wanted to mess with me but out of nowhere I heard someone begging and crying for help on that radio it was probably the scariest experience that I'd ever felt as a kid now either someone found my radio channel and decided to mess with me

or someone legitimately needed help and young me clearly didn't know what to do in that situation it definitely felt off and my I have had odd experiences in my old house when I was younger like I remember sometimes I heard my mom calling my name but nobody being there that was probably one of the scarier experiences that I've ever experienced up there with the walkie-talkie but I have had Vivid nightmares to which I could feel things happening to me and this could be chalked up to an overactive imagination I know that but I had this

problem with sleeping in my parents' room because I was scared to be alone all time but every time that I would walk to my parents' room in multiple Corners there were shapes of like dogs staring at me now the last experience I remember having is when I was sitting on a bed from what I can remember of that time I think I was sitting on my bed and I looked up at something but as soon as I looked up at it I felt something hit my face and I was physically pushed down weirdly though is

soon as I reached a certain age I remembered it all just sort of stopped suddenly no nightmares seeing things in the dark hearing voices or having any sort of experience whatsoever I don't know if this can all be chalked up to just normal overactive child imaginations or if it is something more I wish that I had proof and I don't blame you if you don't believe me but this just suddenly came to my mind and I wanted to Archive itself somewhere while I still remembered it I also wanted to share my experiences to see if

anyone else has had anything similar happened to them this happened when I was about 7 years old I never really gave this much thought until recently when my mother reminded me that it happened and now we never really were able to explain it you see I was in summer school and during one recess I was playing on the playground with this girl that I had become close to usually when recess was over a loud Bell would ring to signal that it was time to go back to class on this particular day the girl and I

were lost in our own little world of make believe we didn't hear the bell ring and eventually we noticed that we were alone on the playground the weird thing is that there were yard duties on S side so an adult would Corral the kid kids if they didn't immediately respond to the Bell but that day there was no adult to tell us to go back inside no kids crawling on the monkey bars with us it was just empty it really felt like the playground had only just vacated after a few minutes so we figured that

we wouldn't get into a huge trouble if we made our way back to the classroom upon entering the classroom the teacher immediately yells out where have you girls been we've been looking for you it turns out that 2 hours had passed from the time that the bell rang to when we reappeared we got yelled at for disappearing but as a child I never understood why I was in trouble I mean I never left the playground so why was I getting yelled at looking back on it I have to wonder did we disappear does this count

as missing time it really felt like to us that we had taken our research as normal and nothing weird had happened the creepy thing though is that both that girl I was playing with and I experienced the same thing too so there's just no way that this is a hallucination coming from my brain alone I kind of just shook it off as one of those guess we'll never know things but now that I'm older it really is one of the weirdest things that I've ever experienced I'm really curious too as to what may have happened

during that time did we get abducted by aliens hence the missing time did we accidentally slip into a different dimension were the fa trying to kidnap us or something when we realized we were alone it was totally the Oz effect no noise just Eerie silence anyway I'm not sure why I'm sharing this other than to say something that might resonate with someone I've always been curious to see if anything similar has happened to anyone else because is I cannot be the only one that this has happened [Music] to a few years ago my husband and

I found a three-bedroom Bungalow that was cheap to rent the owner who inherited it it was a friend of my husband this guy's father had passed away the previous year and the house was sitting empty that whole time the owner didn't want to live in it and he didn't even bother returning to the house to remove all the furniture clothing or belongings from it either I didn't even get a chance to see the place before well we moved in my husband sprung it on me last minute after our apartment lease was up it looked okay

from the outside I guess the windows were dark but of course no one lived there so that was normal once my husband opened the door and switched on the light in the foyer I felt that this place wasn't empty I felt like something was in there watching us right away I knew that the original owner had passed away so I just figured that I was just spooking myself that first evening the whole house though was full of furniture knickknacks personal items clothing and it was dark and Dusty I was depressed just looking at it all

the part of the deal for the cheap rent though is that we had to clean it all so we got a truck and cleaned out the majority of the house we kept some things like the almost new couch armchairs TV and end tables we kept the master bedroom furniture in there because the mattress was new the bedding and the furniture were new as well and it hadn't been used yet my husband he traveled for work at the time he left me there alone and that is when I experienced things that were well for a lack

of a better term odd that feeling of being observed it didn't go away I stayed in the front rooms because there was better light there and it's where our belongings were too the back part of the Bungalow was just always dark though the first thing that I noticed was scratching sounds in the wall it's Texas so it could have been an animal doing that I admit it but I heard what sounded like walking along the ceiling too I remembered one day I was watching a movie there was this loud stomping up there I was distractedly

thinking to myself damn the neighbors allowed but then I remembered that there wasn't any upstairs neighbors I ran outside to see what was on the roof but nothing but it really sounded like heavy footsteps Crossing from one side of the house to the other well I was also nocturnal back then and I stayed up all night either watching live streams or painting in the living room I was in my bedroom watching an old black and white movie on TV this particular night outside I could see the pink Dawn coming through the curtains and that's when

I heard the knocking just two sharp knocks in the upper left hand side of my bedroom wall over the bed the bedroom was at the left corner side of the house and I wondered what it was then all along that side of the wall was a what I can only describe as a swishing sound I pictured someone using a leafy Branch just making swirls with it on the other side just a scratchy sort of swirling sound I hopped out of bed to see what the heck that was it had to be people I ran outside

and over to the outside of the house and there was no one they could have run away I suppose but it was just really odd to me this happened a few more times too before I finally answered that knock with a loud hello the knock itself sounded like a person's knock intentional to get attention not like a tapping or something bouncing off the wall it was two distinct knocks there was a hesitation and then it knocked three times I asked who's there then the knocking started going hard and fast it sounded angry and loud at

that I took off to check the outside again but nobody was there and this time I got there quickly too I went back inside back to the bedroom the Fran thing loud knocking was now accompanied by that swirling sound and it moved from the left side of the wall to the ceiling I won't lie because that one scared me I called my friend and then she told me that I was not supposed to ever answer the knock or go outside for two reasons apparently if it had been a person scaring me I could have been

hurt which I'll admit was good advice and second whatever that was it was bad and I interacted with it now this went on for nearly 30 minutes I left the bedroom to go sit shaking in the living room while I just chatted with my friend she wouldn't accept any pictures or videos of it either but after that occurrence I made sure to ignore all noises and just act like everything was okay and surprisingly the activity it died down we painted the back room but it didn't seem to make it brighter it always stayed gloomy and

when we attempted to sleep in the master bedroom with the onsuite at the back of the house neither one of us could sleep I was facing the bedroom door and several times when I woke up that door would be open again I felt as though someone was staring at us from the kitchen each time it was also very cold and uncomfortable in the a because of all these things and some other things that were happening in our life we moved away after about a year I was born in Moscow Russia in the early 9s s

but my brother was born in 1980 and this is his story so I was about 7 to 8 years old and me along with my friends were the absolute biggest idiots in terms of doing stupid and dangerous things we would make smoke bombs fireworks Etc out of whatever we found and did tons of stupid other things too Russia in the late 80s resembled the post-apocalyptic Wasteland you see in movies in a lot of places mainly because there was really no Law and Order so no one cared you were able to buy crazy things off the

streets too my father was once offered an old rocket launcher in fact with this parents often just let their kids mess around in these places so we would do stupid things in these abandoned buildings but one day we were messing around when one of my friends noticed someone lurking nearby we didn't really care I mean we were used to seeing weird stuff but after a bit we noticed the person was not really moving they just sort of stood there when he noticed that we had seen him the man slowly walked into view a large Bal

man with a black coat a nice one too likely an import which was expensive at the time and American sneakers also very expensive he didn't really greet us or anything but must have seen me looking at his shoes because he just said like my shoes I have more if you want them come on now a few things really unnerved any of us but this dude definitely did if you know anything about russer in that era this dude looked like someone you did not want to mess with the kicker though was once he turned around my

friend noticed that he had a gun in his pants too the second that he saw that he just yelled gun and booked it and we all just scattered I heard the guy curse loudly but I didn't see him again after that now if the story ended here it would have just been a bit of a creepy encounter but sometime later we were no longer allowed to play in that area and I found out much later that they had unfortunately found a child down there who was dead after horrible circumstances which I won't go into to

be honest as a kid I never really thought much about this until my parents told me about the death at which point the dots connected and I realized what we potentially ran away from that day something unexplainable happened to me yesterday morning and I'm curious to know if this has happened to anyone else note too that before this I had been having some weird experiences happened lately in my house bathroom light turning off on its own hearing a voice call out my name noises coming from my door Etc so yesterday morning I woke up and

went on my phone right away to check my notifications my phone had been on all night because I play relaxing music on YouTube while I'm sleeping I have anxiety but when I go on on my phone my notifications are just going crazy as though my phone had been on airplane mode for the entire night they just continuously keep spamming all at once which I thought was weird that's obviously not the creepy part but I checked my notifications and I noticed a missed call or a voicemail at first I thought it could have been a job

interviewer calling me I'd been waiting to hear back from this place so naturally I clicked the number to call them back and the landline phone in my house starts ringing for context I'm living with my grandparents and well they're pretty old school I never have ever called their landline before like ever I only ever call my grandpa cell my number isn't registered on their landline and their number has never been used to call me but this is where it gets even weirder so while the landline is ringing my grandpy just gotten back home maybe 10

minutes prior it's approximately about 10:15 to 10:20 a.m. he was out all morning he starts heading down the hallway towards my room I jump out of bed open my door I sort of Look to Him in disbelief and ask why did you call me earlier he responds though that he hadn't then I show him the Miss call on my phone at this point it was apparent to me that this number that called me was definitely our landline so I say to him him see you called me you left a voicemail and it says here missed

at 9:35 a.m. my grandpa then says how could I have called you when I've been gone all morning I just got back like 10 minutes ago well then who did nobody else was in the house except me at the time when the call was made a phone call definitely made inside of my own house mind you too this phone would not just glitch and call a number that isn't even registered in its own phone book at this point I haven't listened to the voicemail yet after me and my grandpa discuss what happened I go and

listen now what I heard isn't super exciting or anything it made sort of like a beep sound but then the landline was calling me long enough to the point when you hit the voicemail box I'm really not sure how to explain this so if you have any simil stories or have an explanation for this then I would genuinely love to hear it just to ease my mind a bit because it's definitely creeped me out also I just relistened to the voicemail carefully and I don't think it was just a beep in the end it was

like when you put the phone down to end the call and then the beep it only lasted 2 seconds but that has me even more creeped out now I work in a small Mountain Resort made of semi-private cabins there's about 30 cabins in all spaced out enough to feel like you're alone in the mountains I've had paranormal experiences in two of the cabins at this point and while it's nothing super crazy yesterday left me feeling really spooked this experience takes place in cabin number 30 so about 3 weeks ago I was deep cleaning cabin 30

I was in this cabin for my entire shift I was listening to a funny show on low volume and over my earphones I heard what sounded like someone walking on the front deck I opened the door and when I did nothing was there keep in mind too that I've worked here for a while now and can recognize any normal noises reverse when someone is coming to the door I chalked it up to my show and so I just continued cleaning I unplugged a nearby lamp wrapped the cord around it and put it securely onto a

table I walked across the cabin and then turned back towards the lamp to see the lamp cord unraveled and Swinging off the side of the table not a gentle swing as if it had unraveled somehow but like fully Swinging with Force I froze for a second because I made sure that it was in the center center of the table secure it I really don't know how it could have slipped off and started swinging the way that it was nothing else happened for the remainder of the day but that certainly left me pretty unsettled cut to

yesterday though and I'm back in Cabin 30 doing a regular clean again I'm listening to a show completely forgot about the experience from the last time I cleaned the cabin I'm wiping down the kitchen when I sort of catch movement from my peripherals so I turned around but there was nothing there I'm thinking that it must have been a fly or something I really don't know but I turned back towards the kitchen and start getting a very eerie feeling all of a sudden like I'm being watched I'm a bit of a veteran in the feeling

of being watched unfortunately I lived in a very haunted house growing up another story for another time but there's a light on the SE feeling a little behind where I'm standing and as I'm trying to ignore the feeling suddenly a large Shadow is cast next to me from the kitchen light onto the counter to the left of me I can tell you that I whipped around so fast thinking that someone came in and I just didn't hear them due to my earphones only to find the cabin completely empty I was really startled by that my

heart was racing and I once again just froze because I mean what the heck right the shadow though was clear as day cast directly next to me I genuinely thought that a maintenance worker had come into the room or something like that but I can assure you that it was just me I left the room to get some fresh air where I proceeded to have a bit of a mini freakout I had to finish the cabin that day as someone was checking in so I went back in and just said out loud I'm just here

to clean and I'm almost done please just let me finish without any issues did I feel insane well yes did anything else happen no but I sped the rest of the way through and I got out of there now when I go back in tomorrow I've gotten permission from my manager to Sage the cabin and if you have any advice on how I should cleanse whatever bad juju is in there for my mental well-being well I'm all years I've never done a sage cleanse but I will will refuse to go back in there if I

don't I will be doing this and I really really hope it [Music] works to start things off I don't really believe in angels or demons or God and the devil but I do believe that there is dark entities that exist out there what they are I really don't know but I believe that there's something when I was growing up my family moved into a Suburban neighborhood in Pennsylvania and as my parents' first house it was a decent sized and beautiful place I had three siblings at the time when we moved in me being the oldest

I was around the age of maybe five or six at the time but fast forward to around the age of 8 to n when I have the most Vivid memories of the occurrences that I would always see glowing red eyes in the shadows of my closet this as well as my younger sister as well who also would see and scream crying to our parents rats with red eyes they Shrugged it off as children with a wild imagination typical monsters under the bed deal at some point though I would complain that I would have heard my

name being called but it was by an unfamiliar voice my sister would say the same thing too we both slept in the upper level of the house it was two floors with a half finished basement my parents were obviously concerned but they Shrugged it off for the time being eventually my mother began to experience similar things though and started to believe us her being a Christian she spoke with our pastor who told us to cleanse the house in which we recited a prayer and Drew a cross in an olive oil on the wall this only

made things worse though the red eyes and the voices continued my compan aned by shade figures out of the corner of my eye and at night both my sister and I would shriek at these things men hide under the covers begging for it to go away sometimes their parents would come up and turn on the lights to see the commotion and all that and they would see that nothing was there sometimes things would fall too move or Shake on its own lights would shut off without an explanation doors would slam chairs moved whole shebang of

ghostly stuff that you see on TV my mother being a paranormal believer always tried to comfort us and give us the benefit of the doubt my father however was a huge skeptic until one night when I came down crying about the monster sitting on the steps to the basement being told that it was okay that there's no monster when suddenly the door slammed closed and I felt a push throwing me down the steps of the basement absolutely traumatized by the way by that my mother rushed to open the door and dragged me out of there

and I slept in her room while she said some prayers this continued to go on for a few years my parents constantly trying to cleanse the house even having a pastor at our church come and do it but it would always continue and just get worse there would be cold spots and more intense activity there I was Home Alone one day when I was about 12 I would guess in our basement where the computer was set up there was nobody there and no windows open or anything when all of the sudden the shelves down there

were forcefully pushed over crashing down right next to me I ran and waited outside until my parents came home terrified of what was in that house events like this occurred regularly my dogs would bark I would see Shadows hear things and my family experienced the same things however my sister and I definitely got the worst of it it got to the point when I was old enough to sort of comprehend it that I would read Bible verses and rebuke the demon in order to fend it off or get the heck out of there it never

really worked mind you another occurrence I vividly remember that shook me though to the core was I was watching a big shadowy sort of figure across the room to my sister's bed hover over her bed in a TV lit room I think it noticed me waking up in a sweat and it must have noticed me staring at it looked back and I sat there in shock eventually hiding under the blanket I could hear it breathing and I felt pressure of its presence over my body all of a sudden I eventually must have passed out from

fear or fallen asleep or something because that's the last thing that I remember huh when I was around 14 though my cousin's caretakers my grandmother and Grandpa had both Fallen ill and my grandmother passed away shortly after this the three of them had come to live with us and the events continued and they noticed it too we were all terrified of that basement and the upstairs level as well where things occurred the most there would be nights where all of us would sort of huddle in one room laying closely listening to things move and noises

while nobody was there to be making them the pastor came again and sometime around the and did the same old same old and surprisingly it got better for a bit but I believe that my dysfunctional family and negative events drew it back out and they continued things went South for a while and my parents got a divorce my mother got into drugs and whatnot and we eventually moved to a town home with my father but even as we were moving and leaving that house it was always creepy to this day I've had lifelong trauma and

I'm still uncomfortable in the pitch black I don't like addicts or unfinished basements and I do believe that there was something in that house I never really get to talk about this much except for with my sister so I appreciate you guys listening to it I wanted to share my experiences and well I hope that you guys have a good day [Music] so to start I want to say that although I've had I think some paranormal activity in my life I try to be logical about it when it comes to experiences like this I would

say 99 times out of 100 there's a reasonable explanation for the weird things that happen but lately it's just been well strange some backstory to start though my husband has had tontis for years now some days are good but mostly bad and one day he said that he felt like he was going skitso and I ched it up to him going crazy with the ringing in his ears and that that reality was getting harder for him to deal with I comforted him but didn't ask too many questions sometimes he just wants to vent and not

answer a 100 questions so fast forward to me sitting in bed a couple of weeks ago and in the doorway I see what looks like part of a head poke around the corner peering into the room then quickly jerk back into the hall I knew that nobody was upstairs but I got up saw my husband downstairs on the couch and asked if he was just upstairs he replied no and I said well I just saw what looked like someone peering into the room at the corner of my eye I joked about Shadow People because at

this point with living in our house it's kind of been an on andof occurrence I'm honestly not even really that phased by it more fascinated if anything but he said you know it's weird because I felt like I've been going literally crazy I've been seeing stuff like that a lot recently we both were a little bit weirded out by that but oh well at this point then a week ago he was in bed and he saw something move at the corner of our bed then suddenly disappear another weird occurrence I experienced was right before I

saw the head in my doorway I had a sort of strange sleep paralysis moment I was laying in bed vibing with this sort of odd energetic flow not realizing that I was asleep while my husband was laying to the left of me when all of a sudden a hand slid onto my stomach from the right side I freaked out screaming in my dream for help and finally woke up my husband was asleep and the weight of the sleep alysis lifted but sometimes when I wake up from that state my brain feels sort of full like

it's still working out of the Sleep chemicals and I haven't regained full alertness yet it's very odd but during this state I can see things move that aren't there so I look and there's a shadowy sort of figure on top of him I thought it was him moving his legs in the dark but then I realized that it wasn't as soon as I realized that it wasn't I noticed this thing was holding something that looked like a phone screen almost it was just a rectangular sort of white light I told myself that I must still

be in a dreamlike state because of the way that my head felt I put the covers over me and tried to relax until I was more awake and with it then I looked at my husband's side of the bed again where his legs were and whatever it was it had vanished I told myself that it must have been the Moonlight even though my curtains were fully closed again I'm so used to weird stuff that I'm just not even afraid of it anymore just really interested in what is actually going on whether it's some scientific phenomenon

or something actually paranormal but then today I got weirded out by something out of the blue you see I was working the lunchroom at my kids school and at the table where my kids sat last week in the exact same spot there was a sort of small tupperway container missing a lid last week she lost this piece and only had the lid and I noticed the missing Tupperware right away because well OCD I guess and I couldn't find it anywhere but here it was today right where she sat today that side of the table was

empty with other kids sitting on the opposite end and I was like oh someone probably picked it up and just put it there but it was it was weird that it was exactly where she was sitting then a little while later one of the kids sitting at the other end of this table was very distraught all of a sudden she had one strawberry left in her lunch and she got up came back and it was gone I said well maybe you ate it and just forgot about it or it fell or something but she swore

up and down that she had one left and someone must have taken it I was like well we're going to have to let that one go because if no one comes for forward we can't accuse people of taking it I know that this is very off topic from the shadow people but I definitely had some intrusive thoughts of maybe things are disappearing into another time or something I even thought is this table some weird time jumping portal victimizing Tupperware and strawberries I know I know ridiculous but that just can't be right and it's just a

case of kids being kids right and misplacing or taking stuff but with all the in incredibly weird stuff happening lately I just cannot help that my brain is going to Crazy places of thought but if a lone strawberry magically reappears in that spot next week well it will be the end of my sanity for sure I was also wondering if anyone else has been experiencing occurrences that seem strange like this and out of the ordinary I swear too that I really am a logical person and don't like giving too much weight to the Paranormal like

this this especially when there's most likely a logical explanation but for whatever reason the air just feels different all of a sudden I also really enjoy hearing about unexplainable things from other people so if you have anything to share then I would love to hear [Music] it I don't usually share stuff like this but genuinely I'm freaking out a bit and I could really use some advice so something really strange has been happening the last few nights I've been too scared to tell anyone but I feel like I have to now it started two nights

ago I was lying in bed trying to sleep when I heard this sort of soft tapping noise at first I thought it was just the wind or maybe a tree branch but then it came again three Taps it was from my window I live in a one-story house so it's not that high up but it's weird because really there's nothing outside of my window except our backyard and a tall fence I tried to ignore it but the tapping didn't stop I finally worked up the courage to get out of bed and Peak through the blinds

and that was when I saw him there was a man standing outside just staring at my window he was tall with a pale face that looked almost empty like there was nothing behind his eyes he didn't move and he just kept staring at me I panicked and duck down my heart was racing and I didn't know what to do after a moment I finally crawled back into bed and pulled the covers over my head but I didn't sleep that night the next day when the sun rose I tried to convince myself that it was just

my imagination or maybe it was just a dream or something but last night it happened again the same soft tapping the same man outside of my window this time I didn't even look though I just froze hoping that he would go away I told my parents about it this morning but they didn't believe me they think I'm just having nightmares or something to that effect and they told me to stop watching scary movies before bed but I know what I saw tonight I'm scared to go to sleep I mean what if he comes back what

if he tries to get in I've checked the window multiple times to make sure that it's locked but I feel like it's just not enough and so I really don't know what to do should I be calling the police or something I'm scared and I just need someone to believe me so please do believe me that this is happening and I really really could use your advice when I was about 7 to 8 years old I lived near a Woods called lilford woods and me and my brothers and Friends played there many times we used

to make rope swings from trees that were at the side of a World War II bomb crater but one day me and my older brother and my best friend at the time we were there as usual at one weekend and this particular day we could hear a flute playing music and it seemed to be coming from sort of all around us we searched all over to find the source but we ended up giving up when it eventually stopped and we decided to head home as it was close for us to be home time for tea

anyway so we started to head home and then the music started again but again we just couldn't determine its source we made it to the edge of the woods and had to climb a small fence that opened up to a Lar field and in the middle of that field we could see a man sat cross-legged playing the flute we approached him and told him that we could hear him from miles away from my first impression he looked out of place his clothes didn't match the era which at the time would have been the late 80s

he looked like he was from the 70s or the 60s maybe his clothes didn't look like anything that you would see anybody wearing at the time we we asked him if he could play any other instruments and he said that he could play the guitar we asked him if he could play any songs that we knew at the time which was like George Michael but he said that he had never heard of him we asked some other questions but my older brother said that it was time for us to go home we all started running

across the field which led to a tree line which we had to go through that led us to the dirt road again it took us no more than 30 seconds to get there but then as we were running down the dirt road we could hear the flute playing again and as we're still running we looked to our left back towards where the man was we could see him sort of running parallel to us on the field but through the tree line then as we're still running we looked away from him to look forward which would

have been milliseconds at most and about 100 m away we saw him jumping down a sewage manhole it took us about 20 seconds to reach it and when we got there there was no cover over the manhole and all we could see was rushing water but the hole seemed too small for a man to even fit through we all thought that it was weird but at the time we were young and naive and thought older people were just stronger and faster than us and could do things that kids couldn't the following Monday we all went

to school and we were telling friends about what we had witnessed and a lunch lady overheard us and asked us to describe him and she also asked us if we had made the story up and obviously we said no and she told us that he fits the description of a 23-year-old man that unfortunately had ended his own life in the woods in the 70s when I think back I remember his neck looked very red and sore too and if you understand what I'm saying well that's the way that he ended it we never did hear

or see anything again after that I'm 43 so is my friend and my older brother is 45 and we all remember it the same way my older brother is certainly the sort of guy that believes in facts and figures and what you can see and even he can only explain all of it as [Music] Supernatural about 4 years ago my husband and I moved into our current house for the first few months we had a roommate and while she was here we didn't notice anything weird but over the past 3 years we've been noticing more

and more things like I'll be home alone at times and will see things out of the corner of my eye what I usually see the most is if the bathroom door is open and I'm looking in the mirror I will see a lady standing in the kitchen that doesn't really scare me since I've the lived in a few different places that have been haunted and I've dealt with quite a few paranormal things in the past year though it's gotten worse my husband has started sleepwalking even though he never has in the past our dog will

be barking at things that aren't there and I can't find anything that he would usually bark at he doesn't usually bark unless someone he doesn't know comes over um I have multiple times woken up with scratches which could be me scratching myself I admit in my sleep but that never happened before living here so it's a bit odd we hear whispering and footsteps outside of our bedroom door at night our dog has also recently started having seizures which the only explanation the vet has had for that is that it could be anxiety related now I've

dealt with some pretty intense hauntings but nothing quite like this I've tried cleansing the house multiple times and every time it calms down temporarily but it never sticks and I don't just mean just Sage I have tried countless types of herbs candles crystals incenses Moon water salt around the house and even having other people come over who know how to deal with Spirits what I'm trying to say is that I'm certainly not a beginner on this type of stuff in fact a lot of people have come to me for help with anything like this in

the past we live in the basement of a house and we have had multiple upstairs neighbors since we moved in and each one has separately said that they have notice things too when we first moved in our landlord mentioned that the previous tenants left after about a month of living here with no notice and no explanation a few months after we moved in right after our old roommate moved out they were doing renovations upstairs and found a petrified cat under the floorboards we have had different people come over to hang out and multiple people have

seen something standing in the same Corner we don't mention that the house is haunted and anyone who comes over says that they saw something even my best friend who didn't believe in ghosts before this place said that he saw something standing in the corner I always feel like I'm being watched too even when nobody else is in the house I am very receptive of energy and sense that whatever is here is levent but I've been able to create at least a bit of a barrier between us I think I would usually know what to do

in the case of a normal haunting and have successfully cleansed multiple places before but this is way beyond my expertise so that's why I'm here if you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated I also don't know if this is related at all but I have an antique music box from Japan that I've had since I was a kid it when I got it I didn't notice anything off about it but when I started to pick up on energy I realized that there is something attached to it I think I have tried to get

rid of it multiple times like throw it out and all that but every time that I try to get rid of it it always ends up somewhere that I end up finding it again the song is extremely Out Of Tune at this point it wasn't when I got it obviously and it will sometimes play on its own still even if the box is closed even if it's been years since I wound it up I don't know if it's just adding more to what's already going on here or if it's connected somehow but I thought that

I should mention it like I said I've dealt with a lot of things but this is all new for me I'm willing to try anything at this point really I feel it follows me out of the house as well and even one of my co-workers has told me that something has been following me I try my best not to be scared since that usually gives entities more power but I always just feel a bit on edge now and that certainly cannot be good a few years ago I a 35-year-old male had a terrifying experience that

still haunts me today I was living in a busy City at the time and I had just finished a late shift at work it was around 10: p.m. and I was walking home through the quieter side streets of my neighborhood I'm someone who's always been somewhat cautious I guess you could say so I was alert keeping an eye out for any unusual activity as I walked down the street I noticed a guy about 20 ft behind me at first I didn't think much of it he seemed like just another person walking the same route but

something about his movements just caught my attention I guess he wasn't walking in a normal manner he was clearly trying to keep his distance but his Pace matched mine no matter how fast or slow I went after a few blocks I decided to take a detour I turned onto a side street that was a little less populated hoping that he wouldn't follow I checked over my shoulder and sure enough he was still there it's hard to describe but I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up instantly my instincts told me that

something just wasn't right I crossed the street hoping that that would throw him off but he crossed too without hesitation I thought okay this is weird now I had to make a decision though I wasn't that far from home but something about this guy's persistence made me uncomfortable so I decided to stop at a nearby 24/7 convenience store to try to lose him the store was empty sa for the cashier who barely looked up from their phone I quickly grabbed a drink and stood by the door hoping to see if the guy would pass by

he didn't he stopped right outside of the store at this point I could see his face clearly through the glass and he was staring directly at me I pass ped and ran back into the aisles trying to calm myself down I could hear his footsteps growing louder as he approached the door I couldn't stay here any longer so I tried to pay but I was so rattled that I couldn't focus on anything the cashier just sort of stared at me probably wondering why I look so frantic I threw the drink on the counter paid quickly

and bolted out the door I ran down another Street not wanting to look back but knowing that I had to I didn't see him for a while and my heart slowly started to calm down but as I turned the corner to my street that was when I saw him again standing at the far end of the block and quite honestly it was like he had been waiting there the whole time I really wasn't sure what to do next I considered calling the police but he hadn't really done anything illegal just followed me for a while

I didn't didn't want to overreact but I also couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't a coincidence he was still standing there watching me and now he was closer I took a deep breath checked both ways and made a beine for my apartment building not daring to look back until I was inside when I got into my apartment I locked the door and stayed there staring out the window for what felt like hours I didn't see him again after that night but the whole experience really left me unsettled for weeks I never felt comfortable walking

home alone late at night after that too even though I've lived in the city my entire life I still wonder if I was just being paranoid but there was something off about the way that he followed me it felt intentional and it left me with a gut feeling that I just cannot shake [Music] I was 9 years old when me and my little brother five and male were invited to a sleepover my mother she had just become acquainted with a man from a church whom spoke of his children wonderfully I remember him saying that he

had them for the weekend due to custody when we arrived we asked about the children turns out though that they were arriving sometime soon the man invited us to the pool and so we spent part of the day chilling and playing in the pool when the sun went down we decided to head back in and take a shower I made sure to stick by my baby brother while the man was in the living room I didn't trust the man for some reason I also remember thinking about the children I don't remember seeing any kid pictures

or anything like that not even on his phone's back ground I think by then that it was clear that there were no children coming in fact no children ever existed I remember that there was a Wii that we spent most of the night playing but no children were ever seen I don't remember much after that other than telling my mother that we never saw any children of course she was spooked and never left us alone at church ever again and also we never saw that man ever again this happened years ago and now I'm a

19-year-old boy and reliving the memories of the man with no children inviting us for a sleepover really creeps me [Music] out so I live in Australia it was 2017 after a long Long Lake class at University I was walking home dead tired and just wanted to collapse into bed the streets were quiet just the occasional flickering street light accompanied me as I walked home as I got closer to my place I noticed someone slouched in my doorway a figure sort of huddled up against the door wrapped in layers of worn out clothes as I got

nearer I realized that it was a woman most likely homeless her face was hidden beneath a tattered hat but then she looked up and our eyes met her face was tired but her eyes were intense as if she was guarding that spot for dear life I froze slowly she raised a beat up walking stick and pointed it at me her grip tight suddenly she snapped get out her voice rough and firm and her teeth oh my goodness were completely yellow and rotten the kind of teeth that you would genuinely see in zombie movies the threat

it felt real she was clearly ready to use the stick if I took another step I took a cautious step forward my mind racing it was my place after all but she seemed so tense and defensive I wanted to say something to calm her down but words failed me before I could even say a word she hit my head hard twice with her stick Instinct took over and I turned walked quickly almost running back down the street a couple of blocks away was the University security station and I practically stumbled in trying to catch my

breath I told the officer on duty about the woman on my porch and asked if someone could come with me the officer nodded maybe a little bit perplexed but he came along when we got back to my place though the porch was now empty she was gone the officer did a quick look around and just Shrugged looks like she moved on he said giving me a reassuring nod before heading back to the station I thanked him relieved but definitely still on edge the whole thing happened so quickly but I felt like I'd been holding my

breath the entire time but even after she was gone on I just couldn't quite shake it for weeks every time I came home after dark I found myself bracing as I got close to the door half expecting to see her sitting there eyes glaring up at me with those rotten teeth showing I started leaving the porch light on checking the lock twice before bed just in case it wasn't so much about feeling unsafe I guess I just couldn't forget her face that Fierce weary look or the way that she guarded my doorway like it was

her last Refuge the memory it stuck with me now and then I wonder what happened to her whether she ever thought about that night again or if I was just another stranger into her endless drift through the city I've never really had any kind of paranormal experience before this but generally I've always believed that there was more to this life so the other week I was sat on my friend's sofa facing his living room door whilst he had his back to it when I out of nowhere saw a long pair of like grayish fingers creep

around the door and a woman that I can only describe as the woman from Shuter Island literally Google Shuter Island woman and it should show you exactly what I saw poked her head around briefly scanned the room locked eyes with me and suddenly turned and disappeared from my line of sight the weirdest thing is that another friend walked through that door almost instantly after she disappeared and swears blind that there was no one there I was so sure though that somebody was in the house that we looked in every room twice I've tripped before years

ago so I know what that feels like and even then you don't see entities with Vivid Clarity that I saw her with the strangest thing is that two of my friends have seen an entity poking its header around doors in different locations and I spoke to them both separately while holding back most of the story and both of them filled in the gaps uring me that they're telling the truth so my question for all of you guys is should I be worried about this and how should I deal with her if she returns this happened

about 21 years ago when I was around 9 years old but I still vividly remember that day so I was with my grandmother and her dog a big black Great Dane but we were walking on the side of a little Country Road in the middle of the woods it was about a 20-minute walk from my house and we used to come here for picking up chestnuts a lot at some point the dog went a little further into the woods and I started to follow him at the same time a car arrived on the road and

stopped I looked at my grandma and she made acid to tell me to stay where I was I saw her talking with the driver he looked like a middle-aged man from where I was I couldn't hear exactly what they were saying but I heard my grandma raise her voice I saw the man open his car door I was sure that he was about to grab my grandmother and I was terrified she screamed to to me to run into the woods but a big Dark Shadow ran into the guy it was the dog I think he

must have heard the panic in my grandma's voice and that he understood that there was danger the guy obviously got scared and quickly closed the car door and then he peeled out of there I asked my grandmother what happened and she just told me that he was a crazy man and that we should go home through the woods and stay away from the road she also told me to stay close to the dog and thankfully we got home and and didn't see the man again from that day on though we never went picking up chestnuts

in that area again and we stopped doing the that was only a few minutes long turned into years of fear and anxiety for all of us fun fact too is that despite his size that dog was usually a completely harmless dog who basically got scared of everything even cats or chickens but that day he was honestly the bravest dog on Earth I a 19-year-old female have been with my boyfriend 21 and male over 4 years now throughout our relationship he told me that he keeps experiencing sleep paralysis and that it became more and more frequent

he had maybe one or two the first three years but last year they definitely kept getting worse we're both students and for the past 2 years he's been living in a rented apartment with a good friend of his sometimes I spend the night there as well well and one time in may he told me that he experienced sleep paralysis again and that he was aware and awake but wasn't able to move or say anything like his lips were sort of glued together he said that he tried to scream my name to wake me up so

that I could help him but nothing ever came out of his mouth he also mentioned that he kept seeing in one of the corners of the room a huge black shadow that made him feel nauseous and he eventually got out of it and went back to bed now the next day I was still there he asked me to stay with him in case something happened again because he starts to get a bit scared by it I tried to stay awake in case something happened but I think I immediately fell asleep which is just like me

hey don't judge I'm weak like that but this is how I was woken up in the middle of the night so I heard some sounds and I immediately opened my eyes and he was my boyfriend laying on the side with his back at me resting his head on one hand and saying random stuff in a language that I have never heard before looking at the exact same Corner that he mentioned about when he had the sleep paralysis I could have swore too that I saw something moving in the corner almost but the weirdest thing is

that it seemed like he was having an actual conversation he would talk and then stop like as if somebody was answering and then he would talk again and so on and so forth I was like what the heck is he doing and called his name he immediately stopped talking and then the heaviest silence filled the room for what seemed like an eternity here then he started hysterically laughing for a few seconds and then just passed out out of nowhere I checked to see if he was okay and he started snoring so at least I knew

he fell back to sleep I wasn't able to sleep that night I turned around and cried until I saw the light outside the next day I told him about it and he apologized for scaring me I said that it wasn't his fault but it was clear that he felt bad we asked his friend if he had heard anything and he said no which made me feel like maybe I was just dreaming but then he added that he woke up as well that night but wasn't able to move felt like he couldn't breathe and claiming that

he saw the weirdest shadow in the corner of his room the apartment it is consecrated but I always feel uneasy being there another thing I'll add to although I don't know if it's important or not but my boyfriend's roommate has nightmares pretty often as well and would wake up screaming every time if you've listened to me this long then thank you I've always loved paranormal stories and activi IES and creepy stuff like these and I was pretty excited to share these with you although I will admit that it is another thing alog together to experience

it yourself so I am from Madrid Spain my family is from a small Mountain City we're all familiar with the mountains here even though I live in Madrid I always go to hike in the mountain range surrounding Madrid I would not consider us to be very superstitious and or believe strongly in Supernatural events although I am a huge fan of folklore but this story it happened in summer back when I was 14 years old my mother took me and my brother for a week-long trip to a mountain range in the southeast of Spain close to

the Old Town of riopa Vio we had already spent half of the week going on multiple hikes and we visited beautiful Lakes where me and my brother could swim despite them being super cold overall we had already had a lot of fun and we were enjoying our small family trip so far now one day while it was very sunny and warm we went on a hike again to this kind of like abandoned Trail I guess which some of the locals of the village they had recommended it it wasn't accessible by car and there was no

phone service we didn't care though because we love to spend time in nature and we would just spend our time walking and talking instead of being on our phones we found a Crystal Clear Lake at one point with beautiful turquoise greenish water and lots of water vegetation in it too my brother and I immediately jumped in and afterwards we had a picnic for lunch so far so good right suddenly while we were enjoying our lunch we heard a loud scream it was very high-pitched and and sort of just overall scary I guess considering the fact

that we were next to the lake in a small Valley between tall mountains we could hear it kind of echoing all three of us immediately looked at each other sort of startled we were certainly not imagining anything from what we could deduce the sound came from the other side of the lake in a very sort of bushy area the lake itself was not very big and we decided to make our way around it to investigate because although we had not seen anyone during the entire day out there maybe someone was in danger or maybe someone

needed help I cannot really specify what the scream exactly sounded like in hindsight it was not your typical scream for help but who knows what humans are capable of sounding like when in dire need of help right anyway after a 20-minute walk we were already getting to the entrance of the bushy area at the other side of the lake all three of us approaching with our walking sticks in hand and in a cautious position the first thing that we noticed was an awful smell of like Rotting Flesh that together with the scream earlier made us

feel a sudden sense of dread normally you would feel welcome when helping someone out but we didn't feel welcome at all in this place my instincts were telling me that we should just backtrack our way out of there while not losing sight of the bushy area that is however we could not shake the feeling that we had to help if someone needed it so we decided to proceed slowly instead the joy in the laughter that we had on the other side of the lake was now gone whatever was going on at this side of the

lake it felt wrong and ominous now I can not talk to my brother or mother's behalf but the hair on my arm arms was standing on end and after making our way through the bush for 10 minutes we finally reach a sort of clearing area during this whole time the sense of dread had continued and the awful smell of Rotting Flesh had only increased finally in the middle of the clearing we saw what had caused this smell in what seemed to be the perfect middle of this small clearing we found the dead corpse of a

deer or at least what remained from it the limbs were removed from its torso and the head was well half eaten the thing is though is that the kadaba looked fairly fresh as if it was killed that same day however the smell was still that of a roding and decayed corpse which I don't know that did not make any sense we checked for Footprints or dung in the clearing but we didn't find anything I guess a logical explanation would be wolves or maybe even Bears since we have both of them in rural Spain however the

missing Footprints and the way of how this deer was ripped apart made it seem almost unnatural after we had checked the surroundings we left as quickly as possible and on our way back we did not stop to rest at the lake or anything we just wanted to get out of there as quickly as we could now when we were leaving the valley behind us halfway up one of the surrounding mountains we heard yet another scream similar to the first one however this time we didn't feel the urgency to check if someone needed help instead we

paced up our speed and we didn't go back somewhere in the evening when we finally had made it back to our village we went for dinner at a small old bar in the pictures Town Square we talked to some of the Elder people from the village about our experience with their abandoned Trail and all that and they told us that apparently we had somewhere taken a wrong turn on the trail since it was not very clear in that this was the reason we ended up at the valley with the lake they also told us that

a few centuries back during the Spanish Inquisition the local towns people had gone to that Valley because a so-called witch lived there and set her house on fire killing the poor old woman so since then the locals never hike close to that lake or its surroundings in the valley a couple of days later we left to go back home but we have never been able to shake the feeling of the dread that we experienced that day again we are not superstitious or big Believers of the supernatural by any means but what happened on that day

was oh definitely weird I was a third shifter in Wisconsin us around 2014 who lived about 20 minutes from my workplace in the country now as I was pulling up into the section of the country back road that immediately led into the city I saw probably the strangest sight that I have ever seen in my life and I cannot explain it it was Twilight almost evening and so the trees were all black against the dark blue sky and I simply happened to glance up at the top of one of the trees as I was driving

and what I originally thought was the top of the tree flew up into the air at lightning speed and disappeared it looked like a humanoid thing with wings but it was so fast that I could barely make out anything else but it definitely had legs and wings it just lifted up the figure with wings that I thought was the top of the tree just flew up and disappeared Lightning Fast I've never seen anything fly that fast honestly it was like a blink I remember stopping my car outside of my workplace and just sitting there and

thinking about what I just saw and wondering if I was crazy or if I imagined it we don't have any animals or anything natural that looks anything like that so I have no idea what it was I decided not to tell my co-workers or anybody ever except until now because well it's been about 10 years and it's bothered me this whole time do you guys have any ideas as to what this could have been it was the third day of February 2012 in the Brazilian state of Ria Grande and this is something I'll never forget

so my sisters my mother and me went to have some fun at the beach pretty far from our home our mother had rented the house of a friend for a few days which we used while going to and coming back from the beach it was one of those very dirty sort of beach places where trash was dumped all around and not that many people were going to it but for us it was a pretty fun getaway I even remember joking to my sister that there are probably sharks in this beach it was a hot day

too and I have the skin of a vampire so after the first day on the beach I was looking like Mr Krabs and I had to stay in that house while they went to have some fun which for me was totally okay I'm kind of introverted anyway now one day my mother and my sister except for my youngest one had all gone to go to some specific Place one went to color their nails the other went to have a massage two decided to go back to the beach and my mom was going to go to

a club with her friends because she was a boomer or whatever but my younger sister went to sleep and basically it was just me in this two-floor house which was way bigger than the home that I was raised in but the place was kind of creepy I guess and it didn't help that the Moon that day was full I was young and stupid kid I guess you could say who was scared to death by Creepy Nights and also full of energy so I jumped over the fence of our house by climbing over it my thoughts

at the time were pretty stupid but I was going to look for my mom I did that without thinking about stuff like you know the possibility of me getting kidnapped or killed by some robber or whatever this is Brazil after all Street crime is high really high here anyway I walked a little bit around the town but then I realized that I was lost I was utterly overwhelmed by the same modern buildings and I had no idea as to where I was I also had no idea of where my mom was I knew the name

of the place where she went but I didn't know how to get there or exactly where that was after the fear of being lost fully took over I decided to give up and just go back to the house but I didn't know where the house was at this point so I just sort of walked around there were very few people around that night and I was way too anxious to ask anyone I saw for help or directions eventually though the road mixed with this path of dirt it sort of looked like the path in front

of the house that we were staying at so I thought that I was in the right direction since I took another path after getting out of the house but there were several others which this path could lead to so I walked and walked and eventually I found a beach not the beach where I went with my sisters but a different one but little me did not know that so I ran into the beach because I thought that I could find two of my sisters there and they could bring me back home obviously they were not

at the beach but something else was now this beach had these rocks leading up to outside the water you know those sort of spiked rocks that normally sink ships those ones and one of them was all the way into the sand and I kept seeing something moving beside it from the corner of my vision so I just sort of stood there and looked at the Rock for a bit then something came out from beside the rock this thing it seemed to be about the size of a fully grown man but it stood straight it had

legs and feet but whatever it was it definitely wasn't human and the biggest proof was the left arm that I saw so you know centipedes right those black things with a thousand legs well this left arm was exactly like that the Thing extended to the ground and it moved like it had a life of its own I could see all of the legs moving on it too the whole body of this thing was weird and not just the center beat arm you know that green guy from Nightmare Before Christmas well this man was kind of

like that but made of skin and with an egg-shaped head I don't know what the man did after he saw me because after seeing him in the clear Moonlight with the ocean backdrop my child's self was absolutely terrified and I just straight up bolted away from there I ran away as far and as fast as I could from that beach never looking back eventually too well run on this dirt path one of my sisters thank the Lord found me it looks like they were looking for me for a while and once we got back to

the house I got scolded real bad by my mother who was angry as anything with me for running away she thought that I was kidnapped or something like that and was about to call authorities I did tell this story to my sisters obviously they found it to be unbelievable in fact the only one that believes is the youngest but she also believes in all that witchcraft stuff so I guess her belief is sort of already wonky to be clear with you guys though I don't believe in the Supernatural stuff like werewolves Bigfoot Grays and all

that stuff I think of all of it as just conspiracy theories and stupid beliefs based on zero proof but to this day I really do believe that that man thing was real I actually saw it I wasn't hallucinating it was there and it was as real as I was the memory it's still very Vivid in my mind and again I have no idea what it was but it was real I saw it and I'll never forget it I wouldn't call my myself a complete believer of the Paranormal but I'm not someone who writes it off

completely either I'm a skeptic I guess you could say that's open and willing to believe if given proof I have family that is deeply involved with this type of stuff though and has their own experiences with the Paranormal I've got a few things that happen to me that I can't entirely explain normally however the one that I'm about to describe is by far the one that has no type of logic that that can deunk it at least to my knowledge so far now to better understand my experience you have to understand the layout of my

bathroom for it because it happened in the shower on my second floor there's four rooms counting the bathroom you walk up the stairs and you'll see one room straight across from the base of the stairs while two rooms they follow the wall on the right to said room finishing with a room mirroring the one at the base of the stairs once you went to the bathroom immediately to the right is my sink and mirror the sink is about maybe 4ish ft off the ground next to the sink is my bath or shower blocked by a

wall so it doesn't connect to my sink straight across from the door is the toilet and I had my door closed no one else in the bathroom nor any pets since my shower is also a bathtub there's a ledge where me and my family members will keep shampoos body washers etc etc etc and I began to wash my hair place the shampoo on the ledge as I go to put it down I placed it a bit too close to the edge and it fell off I heard the bottle roll around a bit and ultimately come

to a stop I think oh well I'll just grab it when I get out I begin to finish up in the shower get out to grab my towel blah blah blah I look on the ground to find the shampoo bottle but but I can't I sort of look around for a little while and after a few seconds of searching I look up to see the bottle sitting perfectly on the sink again the sink is about 4 ft off the ground and it's away from the shower alt together I heard it rolling on the ground and

there's a wall separating my bath and sink I have asked my family members if they did it or someone was just messing with me but to this day no one has claimed to have done it and to be honest I think I would have heard someone or seen them perhaps if they had come in so does anyone here have any form of explanation for this I'm still scratching my head over it and it really really freaks me out so this story takes place close to 20 years ago at this point I was spending a lot

of time with my friends Danny and Kate we were all sitting on Denny's couch watching TV one day Denny says I'm bored and let's do something as we suggest things I say hey have you guys ever heard of the smelter for background this all takes place in Arizona Prescot to be exact and the smelter is located in humbal Arizona it is very old late 1800s I think it used to process Metals I should say but we start driving out there smoking cigarettes and listening to music we arrive and I start telling them how we hung

out here every weekend in junior high my best friend at the time Mike lived in hanol so we would take girls to the smelter and just drink usual kid stuff nothing even remotely weird ever happened back then so I guess that's why I was totally unprepared for what was going to unfold we approached the outside of the Smoke Stack and I noticed that the stairs had finally been ripped down I guess whoever owned the property was sick of punk kids entering I say huh guess someone finally took the stairs out I then explain the holes

every couple of feet in the catwalk how they must have used the holes to shovel the ash giving up on entering we moved to the the side and after what I'm about to tell you I'm glad that we couldn't get in I mean someone definitely would have been hurt so we're outside for about 15 minutes being loud and just joking around then it suddenly got really quiet and still and thousands of bats came screeching out of the windows of the smelter I mean an absolutely ridiculous amount of them I say to them we've been standing

out here making noise for close to 20 minutes we didn't scare those bats and right when I said that we heard a sort of loud thud hit the ground like something heavy fell down a port hole and then silence our eyes widened nobody said anything and another thud then one more and to this day I will never be able to explain this next bit we started hearing the loudest screeches like ever dust started flying up like a bird was dying on the ground but nothing was there they circled us getting closer and all we could

really do was huddle closer together it was like we forgot that we could run I guess but I forgot who ran first I kind of remember being out of it but not thinking correctly I guess but anyways we ran and the first thing Denny said was if someone told me that story I would never believe them we eventually ran back and we just got out of there anyways if anyone has any leads the rumor is that a girl was apparently killed here but I could never confirm that I always thought that it was an urban

legend but after this happened there's something wrong with that place and I don't know what it is [Music] when I was 13 or 14 I'm 20 now I used to go to parket I used to go to parket Open Gym basically I went there for a few days saw a girl there almost my age for several days then one day I just gathered courage and I asked her about directions just an excuse to talk with her then we started talking then eventually we kind of became friends I don't even remember a bit what we talked

about besides the direction question the only weird thing is that no one ever used to look at her besides me she only ever talked to me she didn't used to go to school either not like I have a weak memory about anything too but it just isn't there then she asked me to go for a walk I went behind her and we started running or racing then she stopped me in the middle of the race and said let's not go there weird gu sit there which was true a part of that Park is filled with

people who do drugs and alcohol and stuff but I told her it's fine to come with me and we did and no one stopped us we started running in circles on that Park and then the next day I came again and she was there doing some exercise on that open gym I went near her and said hi then we started talking about something which I really can't think of again but she used to like talking with me so she was showing some interest eventually I had a mobile phone I handed her paper with my number

and she took it then we again went for that run and said bye to each other and went back home the thing that happened here though is that she called me the next day at exactly 12:02 a.m. and said that she wanted to see me and asked to come out then I had to cut the call because my mom asked who's there I told her that it was the wrong number and I went to sleep obviously I wasn't allowed to go outside around that time but then the next day I gathered some courage again and

called that number back during the afternoon the exact same number I told her that someone called me a girl and they said that he owns the number and doesn't have any daughter in fact he didn't even live close to that area because I asked him then I went to the park for more than a week and it was regularly around that time that she was always there but I never saw her again no one talked about her too and she never told me her house nothing she sort of just disappeared was she grounded by her

parents or did I just experience something weird I'm not too sure but what I do have is a recording of me walking but I thought that she was there but in the recording there's no one so I guess my question is did I hallucinate this am I going crazy but I still have her number or the number at least that I called back that I swore that she spoke to me on I don't know the whole thing freaks me out and to be honest with you I just want to forget about it [Music] I was

about 16 years old and I lived with my family in theine Arizona the family at the time consisted of me my two younger brothers my mom and my stepdad so it was late at night or early in the morning I guess you could say I had gotten out of bed upstairs since we had a two-story house and I went downstairs to get some food eventually my middle brother who would have been about 13 came to down too we ultimately decided to watch some TV in the living room so we stayed downstairs I needed to use

the restroom so I excused myself and went to the half bath in the hall leading to our garage and laundry my stepdad he came downstairs and he told my brother to go to bed before sounding confused who was in this bathroom he asked I am I answered from what my brother told me he took a step back in shock I then heard him say I saw you upstairs you stood outside your room when I left mine stared at me and then walked into your room eventually we all left the living room and returned to our

rooms terrified we had also been finding handprints at the time next to my baby brother's room so maybe the thing that pretended to be me was also peeking into my brother's room occasionally but the way the handprints were it seemed like they stood in front of my room and peaked into the baby's room I cannot be completely sure about that but we definitely saw the handprints and we have no idea how they got there this happened close to 12 years ago when I was about 16 years old in North Las Vegas to this date my

I've never had such a thing happen to me again but it's a moment that I will never forget and I figured that I'd share it with all of you guys who might be interested I would like to add that I'm somewhat of a healthy skeptic I guess you could say and not really religious though I am open to the idea of higher powers and anomalies and all that now my older brother and I were at a house party and when the time came for my brother to leave I insisted on staying knowing that I would

have to walk home eventually since he was my ride mind you we didn't live very far maybe a mile or two at most fast forward to me leaving though and I was on my way walking home I had a nice buzz but I definitely wasn't impaired to the point of having my vision or motor functions affected in any way that I can't blame this on I know the whole 3:00 a.m. thing is super cliche but it definitely was around that time frame so I'm going to go ahead and say that when I started walking home

it was was probably around 2ish the streets were wide and almost no cars to be seen I know as a woman it's different but as a guy I actually took comfort in car passing at this time because for that small window I felt like I wasn't alone walking when they were passing if that makes sense anyway the journey was eerie but I made it to the entrance of my neighborhood unfortunately my house was basically at the opposite end of this Winding Road yet still a straight shot so I had just a little ways to go

at this point nonetheless I knew these streets and safety was definitely on the horizon the houses are fairly sized I guess you could say and as I'm walking down the sidewalk between each house there's basically an Alleyway of darkness in the day it would be a walking path perhaps to the backyards with you know electric meters on the walls of the houses and AC units and all that but at night night these alleys are pretty much pitch black when you look far enough now as I'm walking down the sidewalk I can't help but glare in

between each house and start getting in my head and tripping myself out from my imagination I try to slow down my role mentally since I'm alone and stay on Route no cars have passed in a while thus no Comfort I continue like this down the street until my house is finally in sight down the way obviously I felt a little bit better with my destination now in view then a car comes North from the direction of my house and I'm on the right hand sidewalk with the road to my left so I thought sweet another

human to see me home be it for just a moment it was then when this car passed me and after the flash of the lights that I saw what I saw already looking towards the street after the car passed on my left something grabbed my attention in the corner of my eye crossing the street towards me the street lights were those yellowish ones so the street was lit just enough for me to see it and at first honestly I thought it was a dog so I glanced directly at it and what I saw initially if

I had to describe it was what almost seemed to be a black silhouette of a little boy trotting towards me I don't know if you've ever seen those typical little statues of toddlers like in a garden section of a store curly hair and all in a swing or whatnot but if I had to describe the black silhouette it resembled that of a a little boy I guess I'm an avid gamer so I guess I would assume that I know when to lock it in but when this thing caught my eye with a raised brow after

the car passed it was when I did a double take to confirm what I had just seen and I completely lost it I remember directly towards it after the glare of the headlights after any factor that I could have blamed it on past for but just a second or two enough for me to analyze it and there it was a shadowy little boy trotting towards me with no features around 2 and 1/2 maybe 3 ft tall the moment and I mean the moment that I consciously accepted that this was happening I literally gasped already turning

my body and yelled as I took off full Sprint towards my house I kid you not too it felt like I was passing a house every two strides never ran so quickly in my life and as I'm running trying to collect myself I literally reminded myself of what had just happened and it was like I put on the turbos I genuinely felt like it was right behind me up until this point I was already running as fast as I could but my survival instincts said otherwise I never looked looked back once and I ran all

the way to my house and thank God that they left the front door open for me I literally slammed the door behind me and there was my dad and brother still awake reclined and watching TV I'll be 29 this August but I remember this night vividly and it still gives me chills when I recall this moment I've never really shared this with well pretty much anyone and your free to believe it or not if you want regardless it's still somewhat of a relief that I can finally get this off my chest I appreciate you if

you've taken the time to hear this out and I would be happy to answer any questions in the comments below if you have any and if anyone who has listened to this has any ideas as to what this is then please do share it because I would really like to know so growing up there was this little red Shack in the woods behind my friend's house about a mile down from my childhood home it was really small like the size of a garden tool shed or an ouse maybe the neighborhood kids they would tell my

brother and I that there was a strange hermit who lived there who ate snakes and skunks and we thought that they were just being kids telling scary stories well just recently at Easter dinner I was telling my parents about the hermit guy story that my boyfriend and I went to look for this Shack again and couldn't find it I thought that maybe I'd imagin seeing it as a kid but apparently it was real and my parents they knew this guy he used to be well known and respected in the community and was very successful at

one point until something happened my dad said that one time while he my dad was slowly driving around the potholes on our road this man ran out of the woods and jumped into the bed of his truck and duck down and my dad really didn't know what to do so he just kept driving after a few miles down the road the man jumped out of the bed of the truck and went well wherever he went this was how he got around town apparently forced hitchhiking or whatever and did this to people a lot then my

mom said that when she worked at the grocery store many years ago he would come in and buy raw hamburger and a bag of sugar sit outside of the store mix it together and eat it there are a few other things that they said that I forgot but what had happened was this guy's mother died apparently he found her and couldn't accept her death so he had kept her body in the house for a few months it deeply affected his mental health seeing her body Decay like that and he went from very successful to living

in a Shack in the woods as far as I know he wasn't violent or dangerous just very unpredictable and unstable in a sort of non-dangerous way I guess he eventually ended up in a care home where he passed away within the last couple of years I do hope that this hermit guy ended up in heaven I heard that he was a really nice guy before his life went downhill and while his behavior was very unsettling I don't think he ever heard anybody and didn't deserve to have the second half of his life end the way

that it did one thing that I question now though is are the stories that those kids were telling are they [Music] true this encounter happened about 12 years ago now but it still makes me feel incredibly uneasy at the time I lived in our family home with my parents and two brothers I had a lot of very strange and unexplainable things happen in this house but this was by far the strangest the house it was a three-story and the attic had been converted into my brother's bedroom I came out of the bathroom on the second

floor to see a figure sort of rush past a and run up the stairs to the attic on the way we had some boxes stacked up that had been knocked over in the rush I walked straight to the boxes to stack them back up again and as I did I looked up the attic stairs to find someone stood there the staircase was dark but I could clearly see one of my brothers stood a few steps up there at the time my brothers looked very similar same hairstyle same build same height even so it was really

hard to determine which one of them that it was but for a few seconds we just sort of stood there and stared at each other in silence but before my eyes could adjust to the dark to see who it was he ran further up the stairs and into the bedroom I heard His Feet hitting the ground all the way upstairs which made me feel uneasy as they didn't sound familiar I guess my brothers both have very heavy distinct footsteps so I could always tell who was coming before before even seeing them I didn't really question

what had happened but something just didn't really feel right I guess I had this chill running through me and a sinking feeling in my stomach in any case I made my way downstairs and all I could think of was which one of them is wearing blue jeans and a white T-shirt today as that is distinctively what I saw him wearing I got downstairs and peered into the kitchen and when I did my stomach completely dropped because our entire household was in the kitchen both of my brothers were there both wearing shorts and colorful t-shirts there

was nobody else in the house too so who the heck was that it's not just the fact that I saw someone but I heard them too I can't describe it but I literally felt their presence and why did it look like my siblings why did it stop to stare at me and then just run away like that did it want me to follow it and what would have happened if I [Music] did so there were these two guys that came into my work not long ago it was normal really until my coworker pointed out that

the two eyes were staring at me very intensely they were non-stop staring and even turning their heads to stare at me they were not hiding it at all is what I'm getting at and the stair was very predatory like and made me extremely uncomfortable it was like they were watching my every move every time I would look in their Direction they would still be staring for context too I work at a restaurant and we have bottomless drinks drinks they ordered food and had eaten it but kept on refilling their drinks staying at the table for

at least 4 hours which is highly unusual as customers will typically spend 45 minutes on average or less there as we're sort of like a fast food restaurant I guess one guy was on his computer though and the other was on his phone sometimes but the majority of the time they were both just staring at me they were barely talking to each other and were almost silent one of the guys left at some point but the other was still waiting there until I had to clock out the guy also asked me a few questions when

he asked me for ice cream that being where I'm from because apparently I looked foreign to him and asking if I came from Spain it was pretty unusual to say the least but when I left the restaurant and I turned around the guy was right behind me so I panicked and sort of stopped the guy walked past me and I walked in the opposite direction calling my mom and thankfully I got home safe I am nervous about this though and I'm feeling very uncomfortable and although nothing really happened I guess I'm worried that this isn't

the end of this my gut feeling is telling me that they had bad intentions and so my question for all of you guys is well well what should I [Music] do I was up at 3:50 a.m. this morning on my phone and I decided to put it down and go to sleep eventually but not even 5 minutes later I hear sort of shuffling upstairs outside of my door and for some reason I decided to grab my knife because it was a little bit too weird at this time laying in my bed my door slow slly

open super quietly and I ask what's up thinking it was my roommate and he replies oh nothing I couldn't tell you if I'd heard that voice anywhere ever but all I saw was a hooded black figure he then slowly cracks my door back but he doesn't close it so I'm freaking out I shoot up out of bed to open it and when I do he's gone I cleared the upstairs and saw that our front door was open still when I went downstairs the only other roommate who didn't lock this door was wide open but he

closed it before he went to sleep too mind you nothing was stolen and why he would be coming in our house and stealing nothing I have no idea thank God nothing happened but it just doesn't make much sense about a month ago I'm assuming that the same person opened our front door and and took off after seeing us awake the doors they will be overly locked from now on for sure but I don't know something tells me that this isn't over and that whoever this is that they'll be [Music] back this was about 5 years

ago and it's still creeps me out I'm a female and was 18 at the time I'm now 23 and I was walking home from work at the local pizza joint and took my usual route home it was about 9:45 to 10:15 p.m. and it was super dark that night as I'm getting about a 100 yards away from the street that I live on a white van turns onto the street suddenly nothing too suspicious but something just didn't sit right with me so I yanked out my earbuds and pause my music I then turned down my

street and as I'm getting close closer to my house I started getting a weird gut feeling I look up from my phone as I was about to text my roommate who was out of town at the time that I was almost home about 15 yard or so at this point and as I look up I notice the white van sitting in front of my house and the man inside is just sort of staring at me the yellow car light shining on his face he had brown hair glasses and facial hair his van lights they were

off but his car was running I sto and put my back to a tree in my neighbor's yard and just sort of stood there maintaining eye contact with this man after what must have been about 5 minutes he starts driving towards the stop sign at the end of the road I didn't turn my back to him at any point I kept my back to the tree and maintained visual on the van the entire time until it stopped at the stops sign mine he just sat there for another 2 or 3 minutes seemingly looking in his

rearview mirror at me all the while I'm not looking away and my back is still on the tree finally though he turned right the direction in which I had come from and after about 20 seconds of making sure that he or anybody else wasn't coming I bolt to my house instantly I quickly get inside and lock the door I go to the window and very quietly look through the blinds I didn't turn on any lights because well I'm not that stupid and after a few seconds of looking what do you know he drove back up

and down the street again and then left afterwards I texted my roommate what had happened and then went to each and every one of the windows in my house to make sure that they were locked along with the back door in the garage door too I made sure to keep all the lights off for the remainder of the night I didn't didn't sleep a lick that night at all I was so paranoid at every sound or movement and after that I never did walk home ever again so I'm going to start this by saying that

I always had a weird feeling in certain rooms of the house that I live in it feels like Goosebumps I guess but only concentrated on one point of my body I really never thought much about it before I kind of just thought that I was just cold even in summer in the Blazing heat which is weird I know but that quickly changed when I changed rooms with my parents who for some reason really wanted to move out of their room in our house so it all started when I was 16 years old I started to

feel like I was getting watched while playing video games to the point where I had to turn around and take a look look seeing nothing but the darkness of my room I didn't think much of it but then my dog started acting weird barking towards my doors and growling when they were open also nothing and I mean nothing could get this dog in the rooms 2 weeks after my dog started acting like this doors would just randomly be wide open at a 90° angle I obviously took pictures to be 100% sure that I'd Clos them

but they were wide open every single time I rarely open my window and there is little to know air flow in my room strong enough to open these doors too after that door started slamming and reopening in front of me it all got worse too when after a few months objects started falling off of my desk and on my shelves and all that and friends of mine started having panic attacks in my room I would hear footsteps outside and inside of my room room at night and often had the feeling like somebody was sitting on

my bed thankfully I'm not the only person who experienced those things in my room in fact I have witnesses for most of the said things but still to this very day sometimes whatever it is it comes back to show me that it is still there [Music] I had first moved to Portland from indanapolis in November of 2022 and this instance happened late winter early spring of 2023 at the time I was living with my aunt and it was around 1: in the morning everybody was in bed and I was in the living room playing the

new Hogwarts Legacy game all lights turned off except for the cast of the TV when all of a sudden I just get a violent chill up my spine and every hair on my body stands straight up I immediately break into a cold sweat and I imagine that this is what prey feels like when something was locked on my eyes immediately go towards the dark kitchen hallway and I swear to you that I see long dark fingers wrap around the corner and my breathing stops as I'm watching this happen in sort of slow motion I know

what happens next and I see the head pop around the corner shortly after I make out the hand and I am staring into just a completely black face of darkness and I know it's staring right back at me but as soon as it looked around the corner it went back around never to be seen again I'm shaking at this point but feeling like it was looking for someone specific and not finding them like I wasn't who they were hoping to encounter I really don't know and granted at this time I was living with people who

unfortunately stayed within stagnant negative energy and I cleansed myself as much as possible and tried not to engage in their constant stuff but this isn't the first time that I've seen shadow people but this is the first time that I've looked one in the face like that and I absolutely do not recommend so around 2007 to 2008 placing me around 5 years old possibly six I was still in one of those transforming cribs with a portion that could drop down and turn it into a toddler bed this left the bed rather high off the floor

and at the time I lived in Southern Arizona now late in the night or very early stages of the morning one night at around midnight to 3:00 I was awoken by something grabbing at my ankle feeling long sharp nails sort of digging in like stiletto style nails from the now fragmented memories I still have of the night that this thing looked like a stereotypical witch wrinkled water riddled face with a long nose and rotting teeth it never spoke but it did manage to pull me off the bed and under it it startled me understandably so

right and it put a single finger up to it slips in the shushing motion it never changed and simply vanished from the sight as the sun began to rise and I guess I was just so freaked out that I never spoke about it although my parents did find me under the bed in the morning it wasn't some weird dream based on a memory as at the time I wasn't a huge fan of any media with witches it was a pretty hard set Lilo and Stitch kit already plus when I got up in the morning my

parents also notice that I had like digging in Marks in My Skin where this witch had grabbed [Music] me so I've had many encounters throughout my life living by a graveyard literally right on the other side of the property line is a graveyard we've had spirits come in all the time and once I watched them touch one of my dogs when the dog wasn't expecting it freaking out I saw a shadow and then I told them to get out of here to be respectful of the dogs I've also been seeing apparitions around the house lately

and feeling certain energies I guess but nothing dangerous but we do have something that loves the dogs and also is a bit of a prankster well tonight I get home from the bar a lot earlier than usual I go grab my pup to get her into the room she usually goes right for the bed and sometimes I'll grab some water or some sort of snack or whatever I went to go and get a drink and that was when I heard her growl I felt someone in here when I got in but I figured they'd get

the hint to leave us because I don't give the most welcoming presents I guess you could say but my poor pup was so scared of this thing that they busted a window out of my hallway door and ran into the back room now she knows she's in trouble for the window and I know she scared herself a bit with that but she was too scared to go back into that room and I have never heard her growl like that either and so what type of protections can we put up around the yard to ward off

any of these Spirits my family is Catholic I'm a recovering Catholic AKA non-practicing so they do their stuff but I genuinely think that we need more I don't want these things on my property scaring everything as especially the animals every single animal that we have is a rescue one and has come out of some pretty rough situations and we're trying to lessen the stress not make it [Music] worse so for some context it was about 9:10 p.m. Australian Eastern Standard Time in Regional Australia and I was sitting on a tire swing at a mat's house

just looking down at the phone when I put it down to see a shadowy figure that looked 3D until a normal Shadow sitting next to my friend's neighbor's car in their carport shelter they were about twice the height of the car and completely pitch black they had sort of Arby's Mitten man sort of hands with two big fat arms and a skinny body the head looked very round on the top and slim down at the mouth the lights they turned off and I instant stantly went into fight or flight mode and ran back to their

patio where I was completely out of breath and just sort of rattled down to my core I tried telling people and they say that no one was there and that you were imagining it mind you I am mentally stable with no noticeable symptoms of anything in the schizophrenic disorders umbrella and take no medication that led to hallucinations or anything I'm an Aboriginal man and Shadow People in our culture are evil spirits who have come to kill you because in the past it goes that they had fights with their ancestors and they see you as the

person to carry out all this Legacy stuff on so they try to harm you I still don't know what it was to be honest and it was just well plain scary to see [Music] it I moved in with my sister and her ex in a little renovated garage unit made into a living room or kitchen area a one bed and bath in Berea Kentucky she told me that it was haunted because she would hear footsteps and noises coming from the living room when no one was home but her from the GetGo to that place felt

just off I guess everyone always got the heavy feeling of being watched everywhere else but the bedroom that is including the bathroom one day too I told Henry that we didn't like when he stared at us especially in the shower and not to be a perv they only used the bedroom and the facilities when necessary so there was no furniture in the living room so when the neighbor gave me a couple of wooden chairs I brought them over to the house my sister she didn't want them there but I still just sort of sat them

against the wall and went about my day all the next time that I went into the living room one of the chairs had been moved to the middle of the floor underneath the ceiling fan I asked if anyone had moved it and she mouthed off I don't even want them here why would I fool with them so I just placed them back against the wall and the next time that I went in there it happened again now we had heard rumors about a man hanging himself in there and I suppose that that just about sums

it up right also one night my sister had her friend Matilda over and we were all sitting on the bed in a triangle her friend and I were at the foot of the bed we were just talking when I saw a quarter sized black orb float from in front of the wall up over the top of the blinds and then disappear the blinds were closed and it was nighttime so it wasn't a headlight or anything I stopped talking and said I just saw something and Matilda said that she saw it too and elaborated exactly what

I had just seen we also always had bad dreams there as well and it was a weird place on another occasion I was spending the night with my friend raspberry at her brother Michael's house their other brother Spalding her boyfriend Barney and two cats were also there it was around 11:00 p.m. when she broke out her glow-in-the-dark Ouija board with the light up planchette and we all head up to the upstairs to the closet including the cats leaving no one or nothing to debunk our experience that I'm about to tell you about but we were

all very serious about playing it and wouldn't have goofed off at all so we sit down light a few candles and we begin asking if there's anyone there who would like to speak to us we get a yes and all look at each other we plan on asking random questions and I remember the last question being are you in the house know it reads then immediately after that we hear a really loud bang downstairs we sort of say bye but I admit that it wasn't the best one but we pushed the planet to goodbye and

burst out of the closet and down the stairs to find that the pan that we had used to make biscuits earlier and obviously left out on the top of the stove had been completely thrown across the room now sitting in the living room of all places safe to say our adrenaline was pumping for a while that night because that was seriously one of the most incredible things that I had ever seen later that night too it was just Michael and I playing Another Round on the Ouija board and we asked the spirit are you human

and it said no and that was when the scratching on the closet door began then banging and scratching as if something was desperately trying to get in like I said we were all very serious about it and wouldn't have messed around besides someone always fesses up to it at some point when they do play a prank like that but in this case no one ever did we left the closet to find rather deep claw marks on it too and that was the last time that I ever played on a Ouija board this morning I woke

up as I normally did at around 6:00 a.m. I picked up my phone and started messaging my friends and I was watching some videos as I normally did around 10 minutes in in my pereral vision I then see a woman walk through my doorway at first I didn't B an eye I thought it was just my brain playing tricks on me so I looked to its direction and when I did my heart dropped to my stomach it didn't disappear it was a woman not a shadow figure but a woman who I didn't recognize who was

very tall around 50 years old as it looked had long Ginger curly hair whose head was tilted sort of slightly and who was just staring emotionlessly at me I stared in utter paralyzing fear for what must have been around 3 seconds before I blinked and she was gone at that point I was frozen in bed and my phone dropped on the floor for a solid minute before I sort of finally snapped out of it and threw my duvet off and sprinted down the stairs to wake up my parents like an 8-year-old at that point I

was on the border of bursting in tears my parents said that I was just tired and they told me to go back upstairs it was only later that morning that they actually took me seriously it's also important to mention that at that time I was not tired and was for sure not dreaming or daydreaming or anything so are there any possible explanations for this am I going crazy please do let me know so that I can stop thinking about this as I'm pretty shaken up also after some research I did discover that the previous owner

of this home had passed away at the age of 67 and it turns out that the woman was quite tall had long Ginger curly hair and stayed in this home for 24 years the images that I saw of this woman they pretty much matched perfectly with what I remember seeing what really creeps me out though about this is that what I saw was a full human not any sort of ghostly or shadowy figure it was probably the woman's lost Spirit or whatever walking around the home but I actually saw her a full body Apparition like

that it's terrifying to go through something like this and if you have any advice as to what I can do about it then please do let me know so in 2019 my brother my best friend and I were riding our bicycles across the United States to raise money for a cancer charity because we were doing this it meant that we were camping every single night most often in town Parks or campgrounds if they have them this particular night in the middle of the trip we arrived in Napoleon North Dakota literally the definition of the middle

of nowhere the evening was entirely normal until just after the sun went down as I was laying in my sleeping bag under a Pavilion in this town's only Park I could hear the faint noise of like radio static almost like someone was flipping through channels or something picking up bits and pieces of songs and commercials on the radio the sound grew louder and louder until it was undeniable and all that my brother and I could hear because we had just finished biking 70 Mi that day and had 60 more tomorrow I was pretty angry and

wanted my sleep so I left the Pavilion to go yell at some loud other camper and as soon as I got up I noticed two things one I looked at my phone for the time and I noticed that it was around 1:30 in the morning now which just wasn't possible because I don't even recall falling asleep and it felt like I literally just got back from dinner at around 8:30 and two the campsite downtown was totally and completely empty in fact the town was dead by this time I got a little bit weirded out but

decided to continue investigating I continued following the static and it led me to multiple places around Napoleon first it took me to the water tower then the Main Street and finally it was leading me out into this large corn field on the edge of town I then realized that this sound was almost shifting in the wind coming from different places just moments after it came from One Direction I decided not to follow it into the field because I mean to heck with that right and went back to my sleeping bag to get some sleep but

the most concerning part happened just then you see I put in my earbuds to block out the static and just then the volume of said static only increased the noise seemed to be coming from inside of my head I know that that sounds really weird to say but that is honestly the best way to explain it so after a restless night I woke up to a day of cycling 60 mi in a downpour but my head thankfully was finally silent I asked my brother if he heard the same thing and he said that he did

but he just assumed that it was another camper but again the sight and quite literally the entire town was entirely empty this is unrelated too but that morning I received news that my childhood dog died launching me into my first ever experience with grief probably unrelated but it was a a weird coincidence this story is from around maybe five or six years ago when I was a teenager but I still remember it very clearly for some context this was a wooded area near my hometown in the UK that had established bike paths and people visited

regularly making it a decently known area but it was still pretty large and had areas that no one would really go to it all began when my friend and I cycled to the area to do some jumps and generally just sort of right about when we spotted a swing on the top of a hill and we decided that we wanted to go up to se it and use it we did so and spent around maybe an hour or two just talking and swinging and it began to get dark my friend took off as he had

to be back earlier than me and instead of leaving I sort of cycled around for a bit longer I ended up cycling pretty deep into the woods until I was no longer on bike paths and instead barely visit ible sort of dirt paths I went up another pretty steep hill and this is when it happened below me maybe around 20 M or so near the bottom of the hill stood a man wearing a black leather gas mask some kind of military looking jacket and holding a a really long sort of thick torch in his hand

the torch it wasn't on and he was just crouching down in my direction towards the hill staring straight to the ground and from what I could tell he wasn't doing anything at all but then he looked up at me I couldn't make out if he was staring directly towards me but the cold black voids of the mask's eye sockets really terrified me I immediately nearly soiled myself and I leapt onto my bike as I did I heard a heavy and rough fast breathing getting louder and I rode as fast as I could for about 10

seconds before quickly looking back he was stood still at the top of the hill no longer chasing me but just staring at me with the same cold black eyes I never did tell anyone what happened not even any of my friends and still now even driving past that place it sends chills down my spine I'm really glad that I had my bike with me that day because to be quite honest if I didn't I think he probably would have caught me and if he had I shatter to think about what might have [Music] happened I'm

sitting in bed with a flashlight on at the moment riding this at midnight because I'm just too scared to go back to bed let me preface this by saying that I live in a house that had been poorly abused before we moved in I don't ever want to shame anyone but they were really odd possible addicts there was freaky graffiti on the walls and a set of rules for the wife that was left unfinished not to mention the holes Burns and children's toys stuffed in the vents we remodeled a lot of it though but it'll

never feel clean in this house again I think when we first moved in I just felt the most overwhelming sense of dread standing in the room that was very obviously a child's bedroom at some point before seriously just bad vibes I don't think anyone has died in there though but still for the first few months I was constantly waking up in the middle of the night and one night my glasses were thrown clear across the room at some point another night every single figurine on my nightstand had been laid face down I've woken up with

bumps and bruisers but never anything too serious plus it all happened at night while I was asleep so I never put too much into it my parents don't believe in spirituality so there's no way that they would let me smudge the place or anything like that but they would always just tell me to get over it but for the past few months or so right as I'm about to fall asleep I hear or feel something walking up to the side of my bed and trying to tug my blankets off of my bed I sleep face

down with my blankets pulled tightly over for this exact reason and last night it was the strongest one that I'd ever felt and I knew that it was coming before it happened my face got hot and I just couldn't breathe but something clamed down on my shoulder and started messing with my pillow right in front of me I was terrified obviously but I've gotten to the point where I'm not too afraid to reach over and turn my lamp on in fact it brings me a bit of comfort at least to have the light on like

that when I did nothing was there and nothing has ever been there I don't know if I'm hallucinating or if there's something wrong with me but I want to clarify that I'm always 100% Lucid in these moments what I'm getting at is that it's not sleep paralysis or some weird sleep cycle stage or something I I don't know what it is but has anyone else had this happen and if you have what did you do about it I'm not a Believer by any means but I just had something really weird happen that I cannot explain

so I work from home I was talking to my wife inside I said I'm going to go take a lunch break and mow the lawn she said okay I'm going to go and take a shower I fast forward 10 minutes I'm mowing a patch of grass beneath our bedroom window which is frosted over because it's in the shower looking out to the closed off backyard I hear two wraps on the glass and look up there's a hand in the window waving at me behind the frosted glass I assume my wife is in there showering so

I knock back the hand waves in response and I wave at it maybe 30 seconds later she comes out from around the corner clothed because she was apparently at the mailbox she's been messing around in the house and she goes to the mailbox before getting into the shower these days anyway but this is my master bathroom that only my wife and I use one kid's away at her friends and the other was across the house in her room I don't believe in ghosts and stuff like that but I just do not have an explanation for

what I just saw so I live in a little farming community in Virginia nothing out here but cotton and peanuts and well apparently ghosts I knew that there was at least two in the store but now apparently only one number one he or she likes to knock things over especially when we're talking about him or her he or she also likes to appear as an orb in our security cameras from time to time number two the one that I'm fairly sure isn't there anymore was a kind of I don't know it's hard to find the

word but maybe like a spirit stuck in a cycle so to speak in any case it was a dude in a black hoodie now I could easily say that it was just a trick of my eyes were it not for the fact that I saw him over and over again or occasionally mistook him for a customer sometimes or one of the two men that I work with the first time that I realized that I was seeing something was when I saw this man walk from the coke window to the Beer window I thought that it

was my coworker James fronting the cooler Windows only for James to come in from outside as he had been walking the trash out to the dumpster I got kind of a cold pit in my stomach when I realized that the person that I saw was technically not there a few times I was shocked a customer had managed to get into the store without the doorbell ringing saying hello is is required by the company only to check the security cameras beside my register and realized that the floor was completely empty so I began to be more

cognizant of what I was saying the pattern sort of happens like this the man starts at the sodas walks to the single beer window and dis appears I started talking to him because my mouthy and I said you can't drink that beer anymore man you're dead and look I know I know you can think that I'm crazy if you want but my other coworker Sam has seen him too I guess I saw him maybe about 15 to 20 times in total but one day I saw him do something different instead of walking from the soda

to the Beer he started at the beer window and started walking down the candy aisle toward the register and then disappeared after that I never saw him again so personally I hope that this means that whoever this guy was is finally found his way out of the store I know it's probably weird to hear someone speak like this as If ghosts are real but for us guys here at the station it was honestly just common knowledge whatever the case rest in peace my dad be a drinking friend back in 2020 I was living with my

ex and we lived in a terrible apartment but later that year he achieved his dream of being a homeowner and we began the process of moving into the house well one night he came home from work and decided that he was done with the apartment and we should pack what we had left and just move into the new house so we packed up our pets and the rest of our stuff and moved moved in and this is where it gets a little creepy you see it was probably about 9:00 p.m. or so and my ex

was inside the house setting up the internet and I went out to the trunk of the car to get some stuff when I heard a woman screaming and calling a name at first that I thought that she lost her dog or something but as she got closer it sounded like a kid's name also she was frantic and then she said the words come to Mommy and that's when it hit me that she had perhaps lost her kid as she finally got into my view I could see that she was a woman with blonde hair she

was carrying a lawn chair and she was crying and panicking at this point I was making no attempt to conceal myself from the driveway and instead stared straight at her I expected her to ask for help or something since her kid was lost apparently and I mean that's what I would do but she didn't she looked at me for a moment and kept walking down the street still crying and calling his name I ran inside and told my boyfriend what happened apparently he could hear from all the way inside and he called the police the

cops they wasted no time in getting there but still she walked pretty quickly and by the time that we saw the cop car we didn't hear her anymore I still don't know what happened after that as it was a strange welcoming to my new home and it never did happen again I'm still not sure if she really was missing a kid or I don't know maybe she was just crazy or something but her Panic seemed so genuine what really creeps me out though is how she didn't ask for help and just walked past me like

I wasn't there I mean if you lost your kid wouldn't you be asking someone to call the police at least something seemed really fishy about the whole situation I do wish that I knew what happened hopefully she got her kid back though or at least got the help that she [Music] needed so this is about a kid that I went to school with I'd known him since middle school and he'd always been a bit weird but when high school started things just got worse in Middle School he was just kind of cringe I guess like

stereotypical Internet cringe sort of thing you know what I mean but by high school he became genuinely horrifying I have a lot of mini stories about him but I'm going to be focusing on one for this it's not that long but bear with me and for the sake of this I'll call him Jay this story took place in my freshman year so every year at my school before our new year starts we have this back to school bash which is just the kickoff football game with a chill little Afterparty on the cafeteria patio where we

all dance and drink soda and stuff pretty standard School organized party my friends and I were having a a pretty good time we were sitting on a wall just drinking like fander or something I think I don't remember but this kid Jay for whatever reason thought that he was friends with me and my friends I don't know why but when I tell you that he trailed us at this party I mean it at one point he came up to my group as well we saw him coming and all exchanged sort of annoyed and simultaneous terrified

glances he came over to me in my best friend looked at us paused for a minute and then asked us I'm trying to get girls to come with me into the woods do you have anyone you'd recommend my friend and I just sort of froze it this we were too shocked by what he had said to even respond I mean who asks that right who says things like that and what were his plans I guess we'll never really know but he never got anyone thank God as my friends and I dedicated the rest of the

night to telling all the adults what he had said eventually I'm pretty sure that he got kicked out and had to have his mom pick him up again thank God for that last I heard he was still being very creepy and also drawing hate symbols on the walls of his new school and that is a really ominous sign of something a lot worse that I really hope is not happen so I'm 37 male from Ireland and my wife is 35 female from Texas I have an interest in horror movies and scary stories I'll admit but

I've always been a skeptic in reality I guess my wife had told me about experiencing paranormal Encounters in her family home which I just Shrugged off as I've slept in buildings and castles a thousand years old and always experience nothing so how could she experience such things in a a 50-year-old home in America excuse my arrogant europeanism I was wrong I assume that she was just overly superstitious as she is Hispanic which like the Irish have a rich culture history of everything considered paranormal ghosts witches demons Etc but on the night in question I'm in

San Antonio Texas visiting my wife's family I'm awake laying on her bed just staring through a doorway that leads to the living room area it belongs to my wife her bedroom is like a sort of mini apartment it's dark and around 4 in the morning when I see a a sort of jet black cloud float along the floor in the living room when I say black I mean absolutely black almost like a a bad Photoshop and a photograph so here I am looking at this Cloud as it suddenly starts to stretch from its right side

into a sort of triangle shape until it couldn't stretch anymore it seemed and snapped back into itself and evaporates leaving a head staring at me from the floor the head is also jet black and is only visible from the neck up on the floor I couldn't see its face but I will always remember seeing the window light shining through its long curly hair obviously I am in disbelief at this I wake my wife as I'm still making eye contact with the head on this floor I must have seen it for 15 seconds straight before my

wife looks up I turn on the flashlight on my phone in the head's Direction and it just disappeared after the event my wife told me that she used to sleep with a blanket wall stacked on the bed covering the view of the doorway that I was looking through she said that she used to do it because she was afraid that she would always see something she's experienced noises and heard the voices of people talking yet never seen anything but when we told her family her mother and Auntie said that they have seen super fast glimpses

of a black head looking around the doorway of the kitchen and the dining room I wasn't aware of this beforehand so my description of the black head really dropped some Jaws at the dinner table amazingly I was not frightened I was just absolutely shocked to be honest and almost thrilled that I now fully believe in ghosts and even the afterlife I still don't believe in organized Rel religion but at least now I believe in something right I can't find information online regarding black shapes shifting Cloud entities but the cloud itself was blacker than black with

a sort of sharp rotating Edge almost like it contained a I don't know like a a cyclone or a black hole but it was so dark that you really couldn't see any definition inside of it almost and I guess I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar or if you have any ideas as to what I saw that night there was a a time in my childhood where a lot of strange things happened to me during that time I used to have nightmares every night some of them were so disturbing that I woke up sweating

and with my heart racing one night when I was sleeping I woke up because I felt um a hand tickling me on my neck the hand was cold and it tickled my neck very quickly and hard so when I woke up I still had the sensation in my neck skin I thought that maybe it was just a dream and so in the end I went back to sleep but it didn't go away the tickling started happening every night and during the day sometimes I would ask my family if it was them pranking me but none

of them took me seriously so so it definitely wasn't them a couple of days passed and one night I realized that I had left my jacket at my neighbor's house which was across a little park in front of my house it was dark outside but I didn't feel scared to go because it was like 5 minutes away so I decided to go as quickly as I could everything was going all right until I started crossing the park when suddenly I I felt very uneasy the place was extremely quiet and lonely but I just felt like

something dangerous was watching me and that's when it happened I heard what I can only describe as a a deep Long moan come from between the bushes something like a sound a zombie would make I turned around and looked into the bushes and I will never forget what I saw it was a tall completely Red Man he looked like he was covered in almost like bright red blood I started screaming and I ran to my neighbor's house they let me in and gave me a glass of water to calm me down my heart was about

to come out through my throat and I was shaking so hard that it took me a while to calm down and tell them what happened after that they took me home and I told my family about what had happened and they just told me that I must have imagined it I couldn't cross that path Park anymore from the fear that I felt from just looking at it I had to cross it a few times after that happened and I heard the noise again just heard the noise this time I never saw the man again but

no one ever seemed to hear it like I did just me one day though it just stopped happening all of a sudden as well as the tickling and the nightmares I still don't know if it was all just my imagination or not but it was all pretty real to me at the time that was clear my mother lives in an apartment complex on the edge of the city right where parkerburg West Virginia turns into Mineral Wells West Virginia the apartment complex is really on a dead end but it's not quite near the dead end part

when I was living with her I used to park my car on this concrete slab that was by the sign to the entrance because I could up Wi-Fi from this person's house I'm usually a bit of a night hour so this must have been at around maybe 2:00 in the morning I had been sitting in my car for about an hour on my phone and at this point I just kept feeling like I was seeing something like a shadow in my passenger side mirror and I couldn't shake the feeling like I was being watched I

will say that I'd always got a weird vibe from the woods around here even walking down the road was frightening for me because is I always felt this overwhelming anxiety sometimes it would be so bad that when I was walking once I made it to by the sign to the entrance I would always take off running until I just made it near the office to the apartment complex but after I kept seeing a shadow from the mirror I decided that I was going to turn my headlights on because since I was on my phone my

eyes weren't acclimated to the darkness so once I put my phone down I couldn't really see I turn my headlights on though and all I can say is that there was this tall thing standing near the edge of the woods and it starts slowly backing up into the woods at this point I hurried up and I started my car and I took off like nobody's business I drove to the gas station and I just sat there and realized that there must have been at least two of these things because I know that there was something

around my car watching me whatever it was it was tall and I remember it looking gray I can't really remember the face and I mean it was a a fair distance away so my view wasn't really great but I was so scared once I saw it that I just took off as quickly as I could and I really didn't have time to focus on the face to this day I don't ever walk down that road when it's dark especially if I'm by myself there's also been a couple of times when I would walk from my

friend's house who lived a couple of miles from my mom's and it was on this country road there's a certain part of that walk where I just get this Sensation that I need to walk a lot faster because something is in the woods around the area and it just doesn't want me near there I really don't know how to explain it but it's just this feeling like something was really angry that I was there and wanted me gone as quickly as possible I don't know maybe it is just my mind playing tricks on me or

maybe there's some kind of ability that I have that I can't quite figure out yet and well if anyone has any suggestions to what I saw or have any suggestions about the feelings that I get near a certain area of the woods a few miles up from the road here then do let me know because I'm just a bit stumped by all of this [Music] this happened about 10 years ago I must have been 27 and I'm female so my partner at the time was in a band and we stayed in this converted garage not

really converted I guess it was still very much like a garage concrete walls damp but we may do it was in a a service Lane it's sort of like a street that has a business down in it and the back of the houses and whatnot we had come home very early that morning and gone to bed his bandmate was living in a bus at the time which was parked out the front as they stored the gear next to our flat in another garage I woke up at around 5:00 a.m. hearing screams mainly from a woman

but also very aggressive shouting from a man I'm going to kill you and so on the area that we were in is not the nicest by any means although now the area is very hot property here it's not far from the Beach Boutique shops Etc but this was coming from a house that I had thought was condemned two stories dilapitated torn curtains rotten wood about five broken down cars out the front that had been picked apart and it turns out that someone was living in there I woke up and went straight to the front door

and saw a man stomping around a parked car on the side of the road chasing a lady in her pajamas around it threatening to kill her she was screaming crying and out of instinct I screamed out something like hey what are you doing I'm calling the cops they both stopped and looked at me in my pajamas standing near my door Barefoot the man he had a full leather jacket pants and boots half a face tattoo and even though he was across the street I could see the whites of his eyes he was obviously on something

and absolutely Furious he shouted at me I'm going to kill you and motioned cutting of the throat with his thumb when he turned to me the woman escaped to the abandon looking house and locked the door I being brave and stupid replied come on then and grabbed a large plank of 2x4 I kept it behind the door there as I found this area rather sketchy and would be home alone a lot on the weekends I've never used it but I felt better having it there and walked outside in my pajamas and leopard print robe with

the W over my shoulder on the phone to the police now I'm not the smallest woman in the world I must have been around 80 kilos at that point 510 but he would have taken me out if he wanted but I think the idea of the police made him second guess he got the hint and he took off down the road my partner nor the other band mate in the bus got up at any point I must admit that I was pretty angry at both of them I seem to be the only any one who

had the the cahunas to do anything about it another lady across the road came out also and we talked about our men folk not doing anything about it her husband stayed in bed too and anyway later on that week a lady came to my house thanking me for helping her niece that he was some crazy cracked out guy that had fallen in love with her and wouldn't take no for an answer apparently he had apparently come to her house without invitation expecting that she would welcome him drunk and cracked out of his mind with open

arms only to be rejected which is allegedly what threw him into a rage to which he proceeded to kick and beat her and chase her around the street later on maybe about a week later I was told that he was arrested and taken away on my street he was led Away by police handcuffed with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth and I was glad to hear it as I was terrified that he was going to come back when I was alone so I'd like to share a few things about the old house of my

grandfather's prehistory the house it was built around 200 years ago as far as I know there were often soldiers in World War II there and a few often given shelter as well one disappeared after a few days without a trace and it was also an old restaurant about 40 years later my grandpa found an old cross in the garbage and decided to restore it after a few weeks strange things started happening too Mary and Jesus pictures started to sway without wind or any human influence the whole house was shaking without wind that day or similar

and in Bavaria there are also no earthquakes really but they also had loud noises in the basement my grandfather then mounted the cross cross on a nearby tree and since then it is always foggy around that tree my grandmother had cancer and died of it and she had a phone in her room which was only connected to the phone in the living room if she needed help what I mean is that she could not call anyone else with it and a few days later when she died the phone rang in the living room with the

number of my grandmother's phone when you answered the phone you could only hear breathing and then it would hang up this was weird too because well first there was no longer a connection to the phone downstairs and secondly the contract of the phone was terminated my grandpa then died December of 2015 and now 2023 I myself have already experienced well many things the first story is that me and a buddy went at about 11:00 at night to the house to get something when we got to the kitchen to get into the kitchen you have to

go from a hallway left through a door we then closed the door behind us and suddenly somebody knocked we panicked but still decided to open the door but when we did there was nothing there suddenly though there was another loud bang we ran quickly back to the kitchen and after a few minutes we heard Footsteps in front of the door we then looked outside but again there was no one to be seen we then heard someone from the hallway run toward us but there was no one there either at that we just left and we

didn't come back that night the second thing that happened was I and a colleague have met in the evening and we were chilling in the living room the living room is directly connected to the kitchen after a few minutes we heard above us a loud bang and Loud footsteps my friend panicked and waited outside and I went upstairs alone to look around and I looked but there was no one up there on another occasion once a Friend in Me decided to set up two cameras in the hallway at the end of the hallway there goes

a a sort of door straight into the stall and on the right to a stair to the bedrooms and there's an addict too and my buddy pointed his camera towards the stairs and to the beginning of the hallway I pointed my camera from the beginning of the hallway towards the end and when we went to get both phones both phones were on the floor floor with the camera pointing towards the ceiling but both videos were cut off at the exact same time and both fell to the floor at the exact same time that seems almost

impossibly unlikely so we're still scratching our heads over that one another thing that happened was me and a friend went to the house at night we wanted to film on the second floor and at the top of the stairs there were three doors one at the front one to the left and one to the right we went to the right floor and at the door there is a chair to block this door so we got into the hallway where at the end right and left are open doors we then went in and we discovered something

really weird when we looked at the recordings afterwards you could see in the left door a hand and a face it was clear to see but we checked the rooms and there was no one there we went back and forth a few times too we went up the stairs looked around there was nothing there went back downstairs looked at the live feed and there was someone there and finally on another occasion when my cousin and I were kids we slept at my grandpa's house at one point we went to the toilet at night when we

suddenly heard very loud scratching on the front door we then thought that we were pranking each other but then it happened again at the same time and we were talking and my mother had lived there about 2 months after the separation with my father in the house because it is her parents house and she said that after a few weeks she felt really uncomfortable not welcome and always watched she had a lot of sleep paralysis and also heard footsteps and loud noises like scratching on doors she quickly moved out after this and she never came

back honestly I could go on because things happened again and again in this place lights going on and off doors opening on on their own things lying on the floor that shouldn't be there footsteps voices things moving most of the time people that came over felt very uncomfortable in this place too at each visit strange things would always happen as well I'm going to spend a few days in the house alone and I'm actually going to take a camera and try to film something if I get anything I'll be sure to post it here and

if you're interested you can watch it and what I'm hoping is that you can help me figure out what's going on here and please let me know if someone has experienced similar things and what you did about it also I'm sorry if this feels a bit unorthodox this story I'm actually German and I tried my best to write this text in English and hopefully it makes sense in any case like I said I'm going to go back for a few days and if I catch anything well I'll share it with you guys I grew up

on the top of this mountain that was mostly abandoned since the 60s when an old ski kill burnt down there were two other full-time residents up at the top where we lived the rest of the houses stood empty the majority of the time or were abandoned the history of this mountain dates far back hundreds of years ago in fact before the colonization of Canada but there were two native communities that War here as well one of them lived on the top of this mountain one lived in the valley below at the base of the mountain

the two communities were supposed to meet for battle during the Journey Down The Valley tribe snuck up behind the mountain tribe and slaughtered all their women and children when the mountain tribe returned home they were apparently slaughtered too on the entire Mountain Side these sort of Vining wild strawberries grow there as well and it's said that they grow from the spilled blood of the mountain tribe many people have died on this mountain when I was growing up there were hundreds of old crosses littering the twists and turns up the mountain and my father also later

became one of those crosses in a small Meadow surrounded by trees sat a small cottage no driveways and only an overgrown Pathway to lead you to it if you looked inside their breakfast sat still prepared oatmeal and eggs untouched for years years the man that lived there was supposedly a fugitive who disappeared further into the mountains when the police came up and found him one day we had these weird neighbors too who would come two weekends a month from the city with their daughter who was my age they would bring friends over get high drunk

and naked and get it on if you catch my drift in the yard or the forest there was this Eerie feeling that you had well in this mountain which was named forbidden I stood looking at my bedroom window at night and I swear that I could see things moving the forest below we also had the highest concentration of mountain lions in the world and I was often stalked home one night my mother woke to the sound of the sliding door opening and closing she walked downstairs and my sister was standing there sleepwalking Whispering over and

over here kitty kitty my sister had never been a sleepwalker until this my mother grabbed her closed and locked the sliding door then flicked on the lights and there right there on the deck pacing back and forth was a cougar my father also became a violent Sleepwalker while living up there he would have screaming matches with the wall sometimes ended up throwing items around this wasn't something that he did until the last few years of his life my father was a skilled driver and had driven up this mountain and many narrower steeper logging roads around

the area many times and a few months before the accident I started having waking nightmares of my father's death sometimes telling me that he was going to die and I remember waking up frequently and looking at the window into the forest during this period and feeling like I don't know like something was communicating with me that he was about to die he kissed me good night one night and went out the door to go to town with his friends they left in separate vehicles him first and from the accounts of what happened it was a

a freak accident they were driving below speed limit down a straight stretch nearing a cliff or a corner when my dad's truck suddenly just lost traction and started skidding sideways towards the cliff my dad apparently opened the truck door and jumped out and the truck suddenly veered the other way and flipped straight onto him on the ground something that really physically shouldn't have actually happened or been possible Le it crushed almost every bone in his body and he survived for 8 days in hospital after being airlifted the day that he died though I knew again

I knew that he was dead and it was like this feeling that something was communicating this to me I didn't need to be told I was so sure of this feeling that I collapsed onto the ground the second that I got this feeling and started screaming that he's dead isn't he he's dead just over and over again I was eight at the time and I had never experienced death before but that feeling I'll never forget there's a lot more too that went on up there to a lot of different people over the years it's known

locally as a haunted and weird place nothing good ever really happened there people do weird and crazy stuff out of character things there too commit hanous crimes die or just lose their minds apparently we moved when I was nine and after I moved I never felt that Feeling Again anywhere else that feeling of something Insidious just all around you all the time I've only been up there a handful of time since then and every time I have been up there that feeling always returns so yesterday I took my son fishing he wanted to go to

a nearby Lake that we haven't been to in quite some time it's not known to be a great area too for some background the last time that we went it was about a year ago a car drove by and screamed nice buted me while I stood there with my young son this kind of garbage behavior is unfortunately expected in the area it's also known to be a late night hookup spot as well as a late night drug deal location as well due to the Lake's reputation I had made a deal with my dad that I

wouldn't stay there past 400 p.m. without him so with that said this is what happened my 12-year-old son who looks much younger than he is and I pulled up to our favorite fishing spot a small pond on the opposite side of the road is the lake almost immediately an older gentleman approached us asking if we were fishing in the pond I replied that yeah we had just gotten started but nothing yet but that we had caught fish in the pond on plenty of other occasions he thanked us for the information and returned to his spot

on the other side of the road maybe about 15 minutes later another younger man approaches the older man with a dog I can see and hear them chatting but they've made no move to involve Us in the conversation which I'm glad for I just want to enjoy a day with my son and unfortunately the water in the pond was incredibly low and murky and I could tell that we weren't going to have any luck that day I tell my son to pack it up and we'll try another spot on the other side of the lake

as we begin packing our gear into the trunk the younger man yells over sorry if my dog and I ran you off I tell him that it's no problem and we were simply moving to a better fishing spot he then starts telling me how nice it is to see a mom taking her kid fishing how you don't see that very often Etc I get this a lot so I'm pretty used to it to be honest we have a short conversation about it as I pack up and I then move towards the driver's side doors to

depart before I can leave the younger man starts up another conversation though this time asking me how old I think he is this feels a bit strange to me but I'm nice to a fault sometimes so I answer his question I tell him that I'm a horrible judge of age but maybe 25 he tells me though that he's 38 and I'm too kind and I laugh off saying something like I work with teenagers so they always guess me well above my age just to be mean he asks where I work and I stupidly tell him

my city here turns out he lives there too and starts going on and on about how we got a free apartment on such and such street because his baby mama kicked him out of their house or something I think he's talking about some kind of government assistance program but it was a weird flex but okay man whatever at this point I'm standing by the car door with my hand on the handle and my son is already in the back seat this guy can't take the hints and starts telling me all about his awful baby mama

and how women are supposed to be submissive quiet and do what they're told he specifically said I mean it's cool that you can bait a hook or whatever but you're still a woman now my alarm bells are definitely blaring this guy struck up a conversation by commending me for doing a typically dad thing with my kids now he's putting me down for the same thing he's gone from being overly friendly and complimentary to agitated and ranting I should have been rude and just got in the car and left but I've unfortunately been conditioned like many

women to be polite even when you're uncomfortable instead I start making comments in the hopes that he'll see that I'm not some Meek submissive woman who's going to just agree with him I mean after all I'm a tatted up chick with an eyebrow piercing and two lip piercings I don't exactly look like a submissive little housewife I guess I was trying to make him just as uncomfortable as he made me in the hopes that he'd just leave me alone after he says women shouldn't be loud or opinionated I tell him oh well you wouldn't like

me at all then he tries to backpedal saying I mean it's okay to be loud I guess but don't try that with your man you know I say my man doesn't tell me anything I do what I want this kind of back and forth goes on for a while before he finally shakes his head and says I just don't understand what kind of woman would act like that I reply a strong one as soon as the words left my mouth though the older gentleman yells from his spot on the bank yeah say that again honey

and this distracted the creep just long enough for me to hop in the car and lock the doors I still don't feel safe though unbeknownst to creepoid only two of my car doors actually have functioning locks but at least they're on the two on his side I put the key in the ignition in turn no dice nothing and I mean of all the times for my car to act up why on Earth did it choose then Panic has set in now and as I repeatedly try to start my car I can see him out of

the corner of my eye he's taken notice of my car troubles and is trying to get my attention as he takes a few steps towards my car the engine finally Roars to life and I peel out of there as quickly as I can only then do I let my composure crumble and I have a long talk with my son about what had just happened I made a new deal with my dad that day to never go to that Lake alone again regardless of the time of day [Music] this happened around 3 years ago and thinking

about it it still makes me feel really uneasy I live in a rural area surrounded by a nature Conservation Area there are many nice paths here and it's great and peaceful and a quiet place to go for walks ride bikes Etc and on this day I decided to take my dog for a walk there in the evening I didn't want to go that far that day and for some reason I decided to leave my phone at home even though I usually take it with me just in case everything was going well and as usual I

barely met anyone on there but at some point I got to my favorite spot a wooded area there's a field behind it and I planned on walking all the way to the end then I wanted to turn around and take the same way home as I continued walking after I made it through the wooded area my dog started acting a bit strange she kept looking back and didn't seem to want to go on I thought that she spotted a deer or maybe a rabbit and wasn't concerned I didn't look around right away but then she

let out a sort of little growl or bark I had really never heard her do that before I turn around and sure enough there is a man standing on the edge of the wooded area or field like maybe 10 m next to the path he was fully clothed and didn't move and he was just staring at us my heart instantly was pounding and no matter where I would go I would still be in a secluded area for a while I didn't think and just started walking quickly towards the end of the field my dog still

wasn't having it when I turned around after getting a bit further away he had also moved now he was standing on the field still staring intensely that was when I really knew that we had to get out of here I didn't look back until we got to the end of the field because of some of the trees my view was a bit obstructed but I couldn't see him and my dog seemed a bit calmer now obviously I really didn't want to stop for more than a few seconds though from there on I decided to take

the one path that would take me to some part of my town the quickest we literally ran and I was really relieved when we made it back back to civilization that is now I I am still have no idea what this guy's intentions were I will say that just appearing out of nowhere like that is strange and the way that he just followed us and watched us standing still like that I don't know he was acting strangely and something just told me that something was wrong I'm just really proud of my dog for alerting me

because if they hadn't I really don't know what would have happened [Music] about 8 years ago my friends and I would download Plenty of Fish and meet random guys to take exploring with us herbing that is definitely not the smartest idea especially since we were out in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania but anyway this one night we met a guy called Todd Todd was an odd guy from the beginning he seemed socially distant and when he slid into the back of my SUV I instantly got the feeling of regret we were going to a place

called Ronnie's point a very interesting place in West Virginia you should look it up if you're into ghost and haunted history Todd wanted to stay in the car for a bit to scope out the area while us girls went ahead to explore which was a red flag I was convinced at the time that he was about to try and steal my car but we went into the abandoned hospital and out of nowhere he comes Todd around the corner scared us really badly we let out a slight scream in fact Todd started making comments about how

his great-grandfather was a security guard at the Asylum it's right next to the hospital and that his grandfather told him stories about how they would shoot at the sick individuals for fun he laughed and said how much fun would that be well we continued to explore and Todd just sort of hung out in the background we eventually left and Todd insisted on sitting behind me in the car I needed gas so I started to drive to the nearest gas station and maybe about 2 minutes up the winding road I felt his slimy hands creep up

and start massaging my shoulders as I'm driving mind you I kept leaning forward to give him the hint that I was not interested as he's massaging my shoulders he's telling my friends and I how stupid we are for inviting random strangers out how we never know who was getting in the car and how they might hurt us Etc he started laughing again and I will never forget the tone of his voice or the grip of his hands on my shoulders as he said maybe that person's in the car with you right now I pulled into

the gas station and I instantly demanded that he get out of the car he did and I just left him there we got back home eventually and my friend went went on to Plenty of Fish to block him but he had already blocked her or deleted his account we never did hear from him again but we definitely stopped inviting random people to Urban explore and ghost hunt with us so why work graveyard shift as a security guard for a Recycling yard I can't say the company for obvious reasons but I've been on this site for

2 weeks this being the second basically every hour I make rounds across a giant Recycling yard covered in various precious metals that are broken down and sold now during my shift I scann various checkpoints and ensure that nobody besides me is in the yard or facility here one of my other tasks is to go through some grass or bushy sort of terrain and over a set of train tracks to take a photo of a warehouse far across this is to ensure that it's safe and clear I have to use a flashlight with 2K Lumen so

I can see my way through pretty much the entire yard well just an hour and a half ago on my round I went through the grass and over the train tracks I took the picture of the warehouse and submitted it when all of a sudden I get this intense feeling that I'm being watched my hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I froze my flashlight is still on and point pointing at the warehouse I slowly turn around and point my flashlight behind me and I kid you not about 10 Ys away I

see a a skinny old wrinkled white man with a large white beard sitting on a chair he was looking directly at me he had dirty Jean overalls and what I think was a western style cowboy Fedora on he was bare skin under the overalls too now I'm a 6t 220 lb die but I screamed at this at a pitch that was honestly quite embarrassing accidentally I dropped my flashlight out of shock mind you there are thin tiny metal shards literally everywhere on the ground I can't see a thing now as the flashlight is facing Away

From My Sight and all I hear is a quick Pace a shuffling a clanging of metal from footsteps quickly running towards me once the metal crunching footsteps are within about 5 ft of me I hear them quickly Veer to the left and past me within about 3 to 4 seconds the metal clanging is gone followed by the far away sound of rustling bushes I then grabbed my flashlight from the ground and pointed to the sound but the old man was gone past the bushes to who knows where I was shaking from adrenaline and fear I

managed to catch my breath and called several emergency contacts when they arrived that old man was long gone though I believe maybe he was just there to watch watched the active trains move across I say this because the metal chair was facing the tracks it's still there in fact I took a photo of it more as a momento if anything I am now in the office honestly still a bit terrified and alone I have to finish my shift tonight and tomorrow do another 11-hour graveyard shift I won't quit as I honestly need the money but

I just wanted to get this off my chest I randomly recall this memory at times and I am so glad that my parents taught us not to trust strangers and I'm even more thankful for my sister actually listening so back in the '90s my two siblings and I were walking from our house towards our bus stop to go to school for context I was seven my brother was eight and my sister was almost 11 it was a foggy morning and the walk was almost too quiet we were the only ones in line of sight we

were a few streets away from the bus stop when a small white sedan pulled up next to us slowly matching our Pace we looked over slightly confused and curious at a white woman with long curly brown hair in the driver's seat she was staring at us intently she was probably around 35 to 40 from the looks of her this continued for a few seconds before she rolled down her window and said hey kids heading to school she had this weird smile though and eyes that looked like they were looking through us we nodded as it

was obvious with our backpacks she coaxed us with a wave why don't you three hop in I can take you to school I of course being seven and lazy was all about a free ride sure I said smiling my sister grabbed my arm tightly so tightly that it hurt me no thanks my sister said sternly the woman's smile seemed to fade and reappear in a fraction of a second oh it's fine really you don't have to walk I can take you quickly she said trying to sound kind that's when I felt the hairs on my

neck stand up no my sister said even more Stern now my brother looked scared right now and I was confused and alarmed at this facial expression that I'd never seen on him before the woman then turned the wheel and pulled closer to the curb toward us we all stopped in our tracks at a fear get in the car she said as she stopped the car her smile vanished and was replaced by a toothy sneer she was close enough that I could see her dark brown pits for eyes and I swear that she just glared at

us with what looked like pure evil that was it my sister picked me up and yelled to my brother to run I don't know how to but all of a sudden she just had this hulk-like strength she and my brother started sprinting as fast as they could down the sidewalk I clutched my sister tightly screaming they almost fell twice in the process thankfully the car never turned around and instead It sped forward and turned down the street they didn't stop running until we made it home we locked the door and we were all sobbing my

mom and father both were working so we couldn't contact them until they came home but we only had landlines back then and Pages were only for adults and that's basically it if it wasn't for my sister I'm pretty convinced that I would have been kidnapped that day I guess the case in point here is that you should teach your kids to never trust strangers because apparently I didn't listen [Music] my mom lives in Ohio at the top of a hill on a country road and one day my son aged eight at the time was riding

his scooter up and down the road something he wasn't actually allowed to do for safety reasons but anyway this country road has Woods on both sides but they AR particularly dense on either side and Fields and a utility Crossing splits the roadside woods from the bigger sections of the the forest now he suddenly comes running up the hill wi as a ghost teary eyed and says that he saw something scary in the woods he's almost inconsolable at this point he finally gets calmed down and we ask him what he saw and he says that it

was kind of like a stick figure but thicker it was all black but had no facial features and looked just like the man on the bathroom signs of course we went to check it out he took us to a specific area pointed out exactly where it was even showed us how much taller it was than a dead tree in the area roughly 7 ft tall but he was physically shaking the whole time that he was showing us and talking about it which I'd never seen that happen to him before we told him that it was

probably a warning to stay out of the road but I don't know what could it have been has anyone ever seen anything like this before also to give a little bit more detail this didn't happen recently my son is 11 now but he's pretty familiar with Slendermen Bigfoot I'd say even shadow people he likes scary stuff so I feel like if it was any of those he would have called it that or even said it looked like one of those things I've even asked him if it looked like a stickman and he says kind of

but it really looked just like the man on the bathroom signs he still remembers it too and he's more curious about it than scared these days but still the fact that he swears by it it definitely has me intrigued this happened about 15 years ago now so my buddies and I went fish camping at a pretty remote lake off of a 4x4 Trail about 2 hours from home there were four of us all men with me being the smallest at 195 lb the camping spot has great fishing as it has a nice deep spot with

lots of trout right next to it but the campground itself it's rough it is on the side of a steep hill with barely enough room for tents and a small ring fire it is accessible by a rough steep winding 100 yard trail from where you park your 4x4 above the camp but we had a great day drinking beers and catching our limits on some nice siiz track out after it got dark we made a small fire and we just sort of messed around the whole night it was a great time but suddenly there was someone

shining a blinding light in our eyes from about maybe 10 to 20 yards away we didn't hear this person Approach at all this person announced themselves as the sheriff one of my friends asked are you so and so our County Sheriff The Stranger didn't respond to the question though instead he shined a light in each of our faces and said you have a good night then just walked off we sort of sat there dumbfounded asking each other what the heck was that and after a minute or two curiosity eventually got the better of me so

I lit up this person with my stupidly powerful flashlight he was about 50 to 60 yards away at this point right before a Crest and bent off the trail right before he was out of sight and we all saw it it was just some dude in a flannel shirt and jeans I said that is not a sheriff he must have heard me too is you could see him start moving quickly for a second before he was out of sight a few moments later we heard an engine start and that was that it was pretty strange

that we didn't hear the vehicle earlier but I attribute that to being drunk and loud I suppose but what makes this kind of scary is what if it wasn't four big dudes that approached what if it was a single person or even a couple what did he intend to do should we have chased after this person well that's debatable I guess but should we have reported this to the actual Sheriff's Department absolutely but sadly and stupidly we never did so this happened when I was about 11 I'm female I had a friend over at my

dad's house for the first time 12 and female and we were having a lot of fun that day my dad went out into the front yard to take a phone call or something I think at this time it must have been around 10:30 at night and we were hyped up off of a Dr Pepper and Mountain Dew and were so hyper that we went outside with my Dad we mainly stayed in the front yard until we decided that we wanted to go inside me and my friend jumped My Back Fence because we were right next

to it for context too I had a pitbull and a very large German Shepherd who were also in my backyard me and my friend we went up to the second floor and were playing with makeup maybe about 30 minutes later we went back downstairs because I heard my dogs barking and I decided to let them in the dogs had their own fenced off area in the backyard to not interfere with the garden my friend pointed out that my dad was still out on the front porch watch which okay cool whatever I went to my back

door to open it and I saw a man crouching by the back gate staring at my back door he was next to the side of the gate that we had previously jumped I asked my friend to stay there and make sure the man stayed there too and I was going to check if my dad was still on the front porch and he was for whatever reason I never did tell my dad that this man was in our backyard instead me and my friends watched him out there for about 20 minutes after these 20 minutes he

moved across the street crouched next to a car for 5 minutes then comes back to the gate I decided that it was unsafe for my dogs to still be out in the yard so I turned on the light to help me see clearer and let the dogs gate open after I let my dogs in this guy still crouched and not moving a bit 10 more minutes which seemed like a long time when you're going through it pass by and the man is still there but stands up after seeing this man stand up I realized that

he is holding something it looked a lot like a metal pipe at that I locked the door and me and my friend ran across the house to the front door to tell my dad to come inside I never gave him an explanation as to why but I'm guessing that he saw the urgency in my face or voice and he listened because he came in pretty quickly after that we looked outside but by that point the man was gone I still think back to that day and I often wonder if when we jumped the fence if

he saw us and I don't know something tells me that maybe he was hoping that we would jump that fence again I don't usually share this but there's something something that's been weighing heavily on my mind and I just feel the need to share it it happened when I was just 13 years old and it's an incident that Still Remains a bit hazy In My Memory but I'll try to recall it as best as I can so the amusement park the only renowned one in our state had recently opened its Gates as the seasons transitioned

Into Summer for privacy reasons I won't disclose the Park's name or the ride where this unsettling event occur heard but typically I visited the park once or twice a year with my friends family and occasionally my parents as well we would roam around indulge in tasty treats and experience The Thrill of the rides just regular kid stuff however this particular visit was destined to make me swear off amusement parks pretty much for the rest of my days it was a chilly night that mix of cold and warm from all of the stuff around you however

the sky remained clear which was all the confirmation that my friends Nick and Kaden and I needed to ask our parents if we could go miraculously they all agreed and in no time we found ourselves being dropped off at the Park's entrance brimming with excitement ready to immerse ourselves in the vibrant thrilling attractions among them there was one ride that stood out as my personal favorite and I'm certain that my friends felt the same way too housed inside of a dome-shaped building this exil aerating ride dazzled us with a whirlwind of spinning lights and adrenaline

pumping speeds it seemed like the perfect choice well except for one thing the dreaded line Not only was it a claustrophobic person's worst nightmare but it almost always guaranteed an agonizing wait of at least an hour and on that particular occasion the line stretched so far back that it reached one of the neighboring rides about a 100 yards away seeing this we all let out exasperated size realizing that we had no choice but to endure the line before we could move on we figured that we might as well get it out of the way early

as the line snaked its way forward we noticed that on the left side with a line extended towards the forest there were shrubs and bushes my friends and I we didn't really pay much attention to them at first which is why we failed to notice something peculiar until we reached the large sign bearing the ride's name it was Kaden who first spoke up excitement laced with a a hint of concern evident in his voice hey did you guys see that he exclaimed pointing in the direction of the forest no what are you talking about Nick

replied glancing over at the bushes curiosity peaked I looked in the same direction and there crouched down among the foliage was a person wearing a adjacent mask initially we just found it amusing thinking that it was a part of some Halloween themed event or partly that the amusement park occasionally hosted in October however it was July a fact that should have raised more suspicion in hindsight I guess whether it was ignorance or just us being naive kids we just chuckled assuming that it was just some kid playing a harmless prank our attention quickly returned to

the ride and we dismissed the incident as an inconsequential Oddity in the end we endured the line for a growling 2 hours and despite the relatively brief 5minute ride itself it was undeniably worth the wait afterward we decided to grab a bite to eat and enjoy a few more attractions time flew by and before we knew it it was time to head back to the parking lot where our parents would be waiting unlike other kids who would typically complain we welcome the idea of leaving as exhaustion started to creep in amusement parks can be quite

demanding like that and with 2 hours in line but that seemed to do the trick navigating through the throngs of people also making their way towards the exit I noticed something out of the corner of my eye a glimpse of that very same Jason mask this time I managed to catch a glimpse of the full figure behind it the person whoever they were was massive towering at least 6' six with a a build reminiscent of a freight train this man was a behemoth and it became glaringly evident that it wasn't just some kid playing a

childish prank anymore subtly urging my friends to Quicken their Pace we hustled toward the exit as we reached the dark expanse of the parking lot I finally gathered the courage to share what I had seen I told them what I saw and how big this guy was my voice trembling with a mix of fear and disbelief you're right Nick responded who was always the skeptic especially when it came to this sort of stuff Kaden however remained silent his Gaze fixated on the park behind us an uneasiness apparent in his eyes no seriously I insisted my

voice growing more urgent as Nick and I engaged in a brief back and forth Kaden's next words cut through our heated exchange causing us to pause and snap our head heads back in the direction of the park little did I know that his Revelation would unleash an unprecedented Terror leaving a mark on my childhood memories guys look Kaden said his voice tinged with Terror as he began sprinting toward the parking lot at first all I could see were the masses of people flooding out of the park I didn't understand what had spooked him so profoundly

and Nick appeared be equally confused but then I saw it the Jason mask once again this time the significance of its presence registered in our minds and we just bolted in sheer Panic the Colossal figure adorned with the mask was hurdling toward us though at an alarming speed and seemed to be clutching something in his hand a mysterious cloth that I never really had the chance to examine closely so I really don't know what it was but we ran we ran as if our lives depended on it eventually catching up to Kaden in the vast

expanse of the parking lot together we gasped for breath scanning our surroundings in a frenzy State until we spotted my parents car without wasting a second we scrambled inside screaming at them to floor it although they wore expressions of bewilderment and concern my dad pressed down on the accelerator propelling us away from that nightmare as swiftly as possible interrogation became the theme of our 1hour car drive back home and it was Nick who mustered the courage to offer brief one-word answers to our parents' Relentless questions in truth all of us were still reeling from the

shock I guess struggling to process the enormity of what had just occurred to this day I still remain baffled by the man's intentions what did he actually want with us why did he single us out why did he do this with a ton of people around and what Horrors awaited us if he had managed to close the distance between us I vowed never to return to that specific amusement park although I visited others since then nevertheless you can bet your bottom dollar that I always keep a Vigilant eye forever wary of lurking Shadows because these

days you just never know who might be hiding in the darkness waiting to pounce like [Music] that so I'm from Brownsville Texas and one night I was at my girlfriend's house we were having a normal evening watching a movie and relaxing in bed at around 9:00 p.m. and since nobody else was home we were surprised when we heard a sort of robotic like voice coming from outside the window I checked but I didn't see anything this happened twice though and then we heard a noise coming from the kitchen my girlfriend had cats in the house

at the time so we thought that it might be them and we didn't pay much attention however the noises continued and they were louder the second time we jokingly checked the living room in the kitchen but found nothing unusual so we just went back to bed suddenly though we heard the noises again for the third time and this time we decided Ed to thoroughly check the entire house however we couldn't find anything out of the ordinary the cats were also missing as if they were hiding my girlfriend went back to her room and I followed

her before entering the room I had a strange feeling though and decided to look out into the hallway it was dark and I really couldn't see much but suddenly I heard a a human whistle thinking that it was my girlfriend I smiled and laughed a little however when I looked at her she seemed genuinely terrified and asked me to close the door I locked it as she requested in the end we suspected that someone had entered the house and I was ready to call 911 however my girlfriend insisted that I shouldn't instead we decided to

run out of the house I locked the bottom lock of the door from the inside and I just went straight to my car I was terrified and shaking and I wanted to call my dad and ask him to bring a gun but my girlfriend convinced me not to instead I called my friends and asked them to come with a baseball bat we waited outside to see if anyone would come out of the house but nobody ever did I told my friends that we should go inside and confront the burglar with the bats that they brought

however when I tried to open the door I realized all of a sudden that it was locked it was then that I remembered locking it before leaving so we decided to go to the restaurant instead and get the keys from my girlfriend's mom I asked my friends to stay outside and call the police if they saw anyone when we returned we positioned ourselves behind the door ready to open it I unlocked the bottom lock and turned the knob but to my surprise and fear the top lock that required a key to lock was also locked

we didn't have the key when we originally ran out and this confirms to me that somebody must be inside I unlocked the top lock using the keys that we had and we quickly entered the house expecting to find somebody inside however after searching the entire house and I mean we checked all the windows doors everything everything just seemed untouched and locked since then my friends and I have been unable to explain what actually happened that day the top lock which needed a key to be locked was locked when we turned even though we didn't have

the key to begin with moreover we still can't explain the human whistling sound that my girlfriend and I heard and the whistling had a sort of mocking tone to it when her mom got home we told her what happened and she told us that morning that she heard my girl laughing loud while the TV was on and she told her girlfriend Natalie is laughing so loud I haven't heard her laugh like that in a long time but my girl was not home that morning she had slept over at a friend's house in any case a

few months later my girlfriend's mom was preparing to move out of that house she was doing some final checks and making sure all the doors were locked however the next day when she went back to the house she noticed that the back doors were wide open this seemed strange to her so she locked the doors again and turned in the keys a few days later the realtor who had the Keys called my girlfriend's mom and asked if she had entered the house again and opened the back doors she denied it explaining that she didn't have

the keys anymore the realtor informed her though that the previous day when they went to check the house the back doors were wide open and they had definitely originally closed and locked them but when they returned the next day the doors they were wide open once again I a 23-year-old female was recently in Africa on vacation with my family and we stayed two nights at a desert camp in the Sahara the first night my sister and I we were talking and hanging out with the guys who worked there who were all probably around maybe ages

20 to 35 but they seemed friendly and harmless for the most part I noticed at the campfire that night that one of the guys started paying more attention to me and I felt a little bit uncomfortable but I figured that it was just a language barrier or something so out in the desert you can see the stars really well out there and even the Milky Way on clear nights but you have to wait for the moon to go down which is at around 2:00 a.m. I guess it's a normal thing for the guys to come

around to the tents which are luxury tents furnished with beds lights a toilet and shower as well as a a lock on the doors so definitely not normal camping they often knock on the door to see if you're awake and want to come out to look at the stars at night my sister and I we were sharing a tent my parents and a separate one across the walkway the first night at around midnight I told my sister that I was too tired to go out because I was falling asleep so she left to look at

the stars without me and I didn't lock the door because I didn't want her to get locked out if I fell asleep fast forward about an hour and I'm on my side asleep when I wake up Suddenly to see a head peeking in from the tent door I thought that it was my sister so I grugg asked her what are you doing because it was just really weird the way that she was just standing there I start to wake up a bit more and I then realized that it's this guy from The Campfire head peeking

in my room while I'm asleep now I know that it could have been been a simple misunderstanding but I felt totally violated with my privacy especially because we were on their territory in the middle of the desert like I'm not kidding we had to take a 30-minute truck ride into the Junes to get here harmless mistake or not I was in FAL flight at that moment he literally woke me up with a panic attack so I went to the door and told him that I was tired he kept trying to get me to come out

to the Junes with a blanket the classic male move right but I just kept saying no I I didn't feel well and was tired which was true at this moment too I really don't know where my sister is I don't know where my family is I'm disoriented like anything and all I know is that this man is standing in front of me and was literally just watching me sleep I don't know how long he was there for it could have been a literal second or it could have been well a lot longer than that but

either way I was highkey horrified I told him again no and said that I'd go look at the stars tomorrow night he told me that he wouldn't be at the camp the next night and that's why he wanted to go out tonight but I just wouldn't budge once he realized that I wasn't going to come outside he asked if he could have my number and I told him no I have a boyfriend I don't but it seemed the only way that this man would respect my disinterest was by knowing that there was another man in

the picture after I said that he asked me for my first name and I gave it to him because I thought that it wouldn't do any harm and then I said good night and I locked the door this time I went right to the bathroom after this and while I was on the toilet I heard him come back and start calling my name from outside the tent but I just stayed quiet and I didn't say anything I finished in the bathroom and I lay back down in bed still trying to calm down from what had

just happened because my heart was r ing I heard him come back again calling my name I laid in bed as still as I could and I didn't say anything I tried texting my dad but he was not answering and I didn't feel comfortable leaving the tent at that point finally though my sister came back and my dad was with her so I told them what had just happened and they were confused and thought that it was weird and and that was kind of it the next day I brought it up at breakfast again and

my sister and Dad basically told me that I was just being dramatic and that I should just stop talking about it already because it wasn't that big of a deal my mom was the only one who was like yeah that's really not okay and that second night my sister and I were both out under the stars talking to the guys and relaxing keep in mind it's very dark out here and you can't see any faces so I was having a normal convo with this one guy couldn't see him and all as well and after a

while he asks me if I remember him and I'm like well no I I really can't see you he's like oh shine a light so I do and wouldn't you know it it's the same guy from my tent I really wasn't expecting him to be the dude in front of me because he had told me that he wouldn't be there that night which leads me to believe that he picked up a shift just to see me but I really couldn't be sure surprisingly he was fine that night and respected my boundaries so I didn't say

anything to the guys who ran the camp I was planning on doing so if he did anything remotely uncomfortable but he didn't the next morning we left the area and a few days later I start getting message requests on Instagram would you believe that somehow this guy found me I mean I tagged the entire desert and you're telling me that he found me based on my name in a location not even a specific location but an entire desert and my name is not unique by any means either anyway he messages me and although I'm creeped

out a bit I'm also thinking okay well now he's harmless I might as well see what he says and he says you know I'm really so happy to find your account I was looking for you all the time which I found very creepy to even say to someone but again I don't know it could just be a cultural difference but who knows I didn't answer and he messaged me again a few days later saying hey how are you but again I didn't answer but why I bring this up is I'm curious what you guys think

about this and if I really was just overreacting or if you think my literal gut feeling was right he seemed to be harmless around other people in the end but I don't know the way that his head just popped in my tent at night when nobody else was around and I was the only one there it was weird to say the least
