50 True Scary Stories Told In The Rain | Horror Stories To Fall Asleep To

mortis media when I was a little kid we lived on the outskirts of Jackson Ohio out in the middle of the woods my older brothers would sometimes have to take me out with them when they explored so that my mom could get some free time we were going pretty far back one day following along a Dry Creek bed when we came across a deep hole in the middle of the creek like a sinkhole my brothers were joking around about having me go in it when we heard a big tree fall about 1,000 ft off and

then shortly after that another we freaked out and ran assuming Bigfoot was chasing after us or an Axe Murderer now the memory being in that Woods that sticks with me the most isn't necessarily the creepiest but kind of the most what was that moment moment of my life my friends and I were playing in the woods like usual climbing a steep Hillside that led up to a path we often used at the bottom of the hillside was a Rocky Creek bed The Climb was anywhere between 70 to 90° with roots and clay at the height

of 150 ft or so we were climbing as we usually do I'm nearly at the top when I lose my balance and start to fall back at which point I feel a firm hand on my back that helps me regain my balance once I make it to the top I think whoever it was that helped me stay steady but my two friends both looked at me as if I were crazy and said neither of them had done anything that was by far one of the strangest experiences of my life and I remember it clearly some

20 plus years later I was an atheist I hated how invested my family was in religion so I rejected it with full force it was about 3:00 in the afternoon in Colombia sun shining everywhere inside the house homes are built this way here I'm sitting on the kitchen counter talking to our housemid she's facing me and I'm facing her when all of a sudden a shadow runs from one end of the pattern to the other in the living room brushing off my skin as if it were heavy air the shadow was tall and floating and

I got the sensation it was a male but I can't explain why I look at her waiting for her to say something and she goes did you see that yeah did you feel it to make matters worse I found out a child that used to live there had died we would hear children playing but never saw anyone outside and that was the day I started believing in Spirits a few years back I also contacted the maid that was with me that day just to make sure and confirm that I wasn't crazy and she confirmed and

retold me the story without me giving her any details so I know it was real there are several instances that occurred in the house but that was the most unidentifiable one allegedly the car died in a child accident two blocks away from the home his father's best friend ran him over by accident talk about tragic I was walking my dog and crossing the street with a green light when a guy blows through the red light and almost hits me and my dog I yell out ass and he Slams on his brakes and turns around and

pulls into the parking lot ahead of me I get closer and see the car has Illinois plates while I live in Pennsylvania he says careful who you call names I've killed people I just keep walking and he drives away the next day I hear spree killer Andrew Canan used stolen credit cards at a gas station in my town it was 100% him my parents are divorced and I switched off between parents every Monday my dad just picked me a 15-year-old female up from my mom's it was around 11:30 a.m. and I hadn't eaten lunch yet

so my dad suggested we go to Panda Express we get in the Drive-Thru and I hear the usual hi my name's Rachel how can I take your order it didn't sound like a robot she sounded human and my dad tells the woman our order and she doesn't respond we sit there for 2 minutes before my dad asks hello are you there but there's no answer and we sit there for another minute before pulling up to the window window to see if there's anyone there but no one is we see no one in the restaurant the

lights are all on the window is closed and the computer is on but no one's there we sit there for another 3 minutes to see if anyone walks in or out but nothing my dad claims he saw someone walk in but I don't know about that considering the fact that we saw no one in the restaurant we joke around saying how the store is getting robbed or the people in there got murdered but after a few minutes of joking we realized that those are very real possibilities my dad calls now my mom to report it

and see if they can check it out and we ended up going to Le and getting a few Burgers after we drove back by the Pander Express we see people peering through the window and trying to open the doors the doors were locked and they couldn't get in but the store was open it wasn't like it was closed and we just came at the wrong time 5 and 1/2 hours later we drive back to look at the Pander Express the police aren't there there's still no one in the store and people are at the drive-through

line just sitting there we drove by five times each time and we saw no one there were no workers in the kitchen cleaning no one I still have no idea what happened but I think there was a robbery or a murder or something the entire thing was bizarre and I'm pretty sure I heard a woman's last words there was nothing on the news and we didn't get an update this happened to my mom's best friend she was driving home late one night from work when she got pulled over by a police officer she had no

idea why but figured it could be a tail light or something so she pulled over when the officer approached he confirmed to her that her tail light was out and asked for her license and registration so she gave it to him and he disappeared to his car for a while later he came back he started asking her weirder and weirder questions they started regularly where were you going SL coming from but then they started getting personal do you have a husband at home any children any weapons a daughter any aggressive pets once the question started

getting concerningly personal she told him that it was inappropriate to be asking these questions then he started getting aggressive I'm a cop do you know what that means it means you shut up and do what I say now step out the car obviously she was pretty scared at this point she rolled up the window and started looking through her purse for her phone at this point the officer went straight up violent he was pounding on her window and trying her door yelling crazy stuff like get out of the car you dirty insert curse word here

so in a full-blown panic she stepped on the gas gas and drove away a Chase occurred for a short while but the cop quickly stopped following her as she got closer to the main road she then called 911 when she learned that there were no officers that were supposed to be in that location it was in the coming days it turned out that there was a rapist who was posing as a cop in the area she had never had a broken tail light at all but he had her address her personal info and even knew

about her husband and daughter she told him she didn't own weapons so she immediately purchased a pistol unfortunately she was forced to live in fear for a while until they finally caught the man when I was a kid I must have been between 10 or 12 or something I had this guy who lived in my neighborhood who was 4 years my senior we used to play together and he would tell us these sto stories about how he used to see fire in certain areas of his house and the visuals stopped when his grandfather got some

holy rituals done in the house back then I never believed him a few years later were all grown up and Patrick's mom accidentally caught fire in the kitchen Patrick's elder brother tried to save her and got his hands burnt in the process no one knows how it happened and after being in the hospital for 2 to 3 days she succumbed to her injuries and at the time we didn't have those childhood stories in our recollection and then later that year we're all friends and we're just having a late night walk and talking about ghost stories

just joking around trying to scare each other and Patrick was all quiet and listening all of a sudden he says do you remember I told you I used to see fires in my house see how my mom died that was creepy in the same neighborhood there is another friend of mine Tom Tom's dad was an alcoholic and you can imagine all the bad things that alcoholism comes with to exist in Tom's life they were extremely poor side note he's doing great now because he's super dedicated and very humble but anyway back then his dad got

diagnosed with tuberculosis he was hospitalized and things were bad now in the apartment below Tom's apartment there lived a family who had this mentally challenged man who was in his late 40s or early 50s he wasn't married and rarely left the house one morning at around 5:00 a.m. while Tom's father was hospitalized this old man knocked on Tom's door Tom opened it groly and the man said why aren't you ready yet go get ready and visit your dad for the last time that was the day Tom's father died in the hospital and he later told

me about the incident both these stories are so convincing because I know these guys and I really don't think they would lie about something as devastating as losing a parent October 20th 6 years ago I came home from class at around 11:30 and no one else was home I hung out at home for a bit and at 2:30 I was overcome with sleepiness being the bum that I am I lay down in my bed and set a timer on my phone for a 20 minute nap I fell asleep quickly and after around 5 minutes I

I was awoken in my bedroom to the door opening and had a split second of a panic before my dog jumped up on my bed and laid down next to me then I fell back asleep after another 5 minutes of sleep I instantly jolted awake because I was certain that there was someone standing next to my bed behind me I assumed it was my mother who would be likely pissed that I was sleeping in the middle of the day I awoke and turned around in one movement and there was no one I checked my phone

and had another 8 minutes of sleep I went back to sleep only to be woken up by my phone ringing it was my mother she said that my great aunt who had been in the hospital after a stroke-like event for a week had died at 1:00 my mom then said that she knew my aunt was going to die today because she had seen a wrath a sort of ghost a warning that someone was going to die that very morning my mom is Scottish and very superstitious but I don't believe any of that she said that

when she woke up in the morning to take my brother to school she went into my room to see if I was still asleep and she saw a wraith standing next to my bed it was at that point my brain cracked itself I have a friend called Rebecca Mutual friends of ours have always told me that she's haunted not her house not a mysterious earn that she keeps or something her I've heard stories from her boyfriend about times that she stood outside ringing her doorbell and knocking for an hour because she's trained herself to just

ignore it I was hanging out with her on her bed and thought I honestly can't remember what we're doing it wasn't anything naughty her back was to me and she was laying on her side and I was on my back staring up at the ceiling I was closest to her bedroom door which was closed and it was just the two of us in her entire house suddenly movement in my peripheral vision caught my eye and I see a shadow silently creep along outside the door blocking out the hallway light coming from the bottom I very

slowly turned my head to look at Rebecca and she hadn't moved her back was still to me so that she couldn't see what I was looking at I looked back at the shadow and sort of tilt my head back and forth thinking it's a reflection of some weird angle that's playing games on my eyes nope the shadow is actually creeping along outside the door when it gets a little more than halfway Rebecca out of nowhere suddenly screams Becky go away I almost snapped my neck to look at Rebecca because she scared the absolute hell out

of me since I thought she might have been napping and she still had it back to me I looked back towards the door and the shadow was already gone I asked her what the hell was going on and she simply said just just don't worry about it and she drifted back into her nap the next occurrence happened in the same apartment I was sitting on the toilet when I heard my main door open I creaked open the bathroom door because I didn't realize anyone was coming home at this time and I just wanted to know

who it was my two cats were sitting right outside the bathroom and were staring at me no response from whoever was opening the door I thought I may have just been hearing things but suddenly a loud drawn out gasp comes from the main door area which is in the living room both of my cats immediately look towards the living room and drop into runaway mode I slammed the door closed locked the door finished my poop and then just sat there for a good hour or so I actually don't remember what happened after as this was

a while ago but I do specifically remember remember that none of my family came home during that day when I asked them later on I was in bed and for whatever reason I started shaking ever so slightly a vibration so subtle that I actually got up held my breath and thought that maybe breathing was causing it or something I lay back down and the shaking starts again I pull the covers off myself and open the light thinking that maybe one of my cats was locked in my room and was rubbing against the bed or something

nope it wasn't there either I get back into bed and pull up my blanket the shaking didn't start again but I literally felt something cruel towards me on top of the blanket I cannot stress how much I'm not lying about this if anyone has a cat or any other animal and have had them step on you while we are under your blanket that's pretty much how it felt except the stepping on area felt larger almost like the size of a closed fist it approached me slowly seemingly avoiding pressing down directly on my legs I didn't

see what was going on or what happened after because the next thing I know I've just woken up and it's morning I remember what happened the night before quite vividly and though I was really uncomfortable I wasn't exactly scared I go outside to the bathroom and close my door behind me the second my hand leaves my door knob I hear it shaking incredibly fast and then it just stops like something was rattling it extremely hard and then that was that there's literally nothing else that happened years later though while working in a theme restaurant I

met an actress who worked as one of the restaurant characters the first time we ever met she told me that she felt a really strange energy about me like there's something following me around I told her about my hauntings which I actually do have a few more of and she told me she was a Wiccan which I had no idea AA was a thing at the time the one thing she did say was that it didn't feel like a threatening energy and that maybe it was a guardian angel of some kind which is why I

don't feel complete dread or fear when these things occur to sum it up I'm fairly certain that Becca must have somehow latched onto me instead or I picked up something from Rebecca's Place I haven't spoken to her for close to 15 years but now that I'm writing this all out I think I'm going to to reach out to her and see if she remembers anything about that day the other night I was driving into the center lane of a three lane City street when all of a sudden a car comes into my right blind spot

and almost slams into me I look over and see it swerving in and out of the lane breaking abruptly I honk and I look over to see if the driver is possibly distracted and I see that the man driving driving is drinking something out of his brown bottle the man then comes up to my side and is screaming at the top of his lungs not wanting to get involved I then make a lane change to the leftmost Lane to get away from the man I can still hear him screaming so I turn on my rear

view camera and see the man swerving across two lanes from the rightmost lane to get behind me he then starts speeding up as if he's trying to Ram into me from behind once I see him inches away from my bumper I decide to run the red light I am stopped at and make a right turn in front of the two lanes of traffic beside me in the hopes that at this point he'll just leave me alone I look in my rear view camera and once again I see the man is following me trying to hit

me from behind yet again I panic and speed off on a side street but I look back and he won't let up he's swerving in the lanes behind me and is trying to keep up in the distance I see see a freeway onramp so I speed over in the hopes of losing him on the freeway the onramp has two lanes that merge into one I pass up a car prior to the merge thinking that the car will create a buffer between me and the man chasing me when I look back into my camera I see

that the man is driving in the shoulder on the brush to the side of the omun in order to pass the other car and catch me up at this point I'm driving close to 100 mph and scared for my life so I slow down and dial 911 I explain the situation to dispatch and she recommends I try to get away to safety the man then catches me up and begins coming up to my side of the freeway and he repeatedly tries to Swerve into me as if to Ram me or run me off the road

I slow down in the hopes that he will pass me up but he too slows down and his wife in the passenger seat throws a bottle at my car for a second I lose visibility as the car is covered in a brown foamy liquid I think to myself surely this is the extent of his road rage and I look over and it seems as if he's continuing on the freeway ready to get away I then pull off the next Freeway Exit thinking I can just leave the situation and as I do the man sees me

and makes a four lane change onto the exit ramp and tries to Ram me once again at the freeway exit I am them forced to speed through the city streets and I finally end up at a red light trapped next to the man I look over at the man and roll down my window and he's screaming at me why did you honk at me you're trying to make me look like a bad father in front of my kids you want to go his wife is also yelling at me asking why would I honk at him

in front of his kids I look into the back seat and see two children in car seats since I'm on speaker with with the dispatcher she hears all of this and tells me I should just try and get away at this point I'm done I just want to get her away from him so I make a U-turn to head back onto the freeway he follows me and almost hits me in a plastic construction Lane barrier to do so he then follows me again and is trying to hit me from behind once I get onto the

overpass to get on the freeway I glance at him to the side of me and see that he's holding something up in my direction suddenly I hear a very loud bang and the dispatcher on the phone screams did he shoot you are you okay thinking I've been shot I start screaming he's shooting at me he's shooting at me he's going to kill me realizing that running away isn't working I stop at the man's speed off luckily there's no broken glass and I'm not injured in any way the dispatcher tells me to pull off to a

nearby safe location so I go to the parking lot of a nearby mall and I tell the dispatcher the make color and model of the car as well as the partial license plate the whole time I drive there I'm very concerned the man could be following me again but they send an officer immediately over to file a police report in waiting for the officer I realized that my car's cameras are always recording so I hit the save button and the officer comes over and I tell him the story describing everything in detail I also tell

him that I may have some footage of the whole thing we take a walk around my car and for the most part there's no damage the officer then informs me that because I'm not injured and because there is no damage to the car there really isn't anything that can be done I ask him if it wasn't an assault and he says because the bottle hit my car and not me it's not assault I ask him if it's reckless driving and he says here in California that's a misdemeanor and that requires the presence of a CHP

officer to convict I then ask him if it could be considered an attempt at murder because he was trying to Ram into me but he says that this this is just plain old road rage and there's not much that can be done at most the officer says that once he has the complete license plate an officer can go out and talk to him I ask him if the potential footage could help in getting this man reprimanded in some way and he tells me to only send me the highlights and necessary screenshots though he doesn't think

anything at all can be done at the end of all of this I'm extremely shaken up I eventually go home and review the footage captured by my car luckily I have the entire thing recorded the moment he almost hit me his wife throwing a bottle at me and his face as he's yelling at me his license plate and even him trying to Ram me it's all recorded a few days later the officer calls me and confirms the license plate I have in the video with a recording he has from the freeway slon andof ramps a

week and a half have passed and there have been no updates while I understand the law is the law it is it is unacceptable to me that this man could be so overtly aggressive on the road threatening my life and the lives of his children and the lives of everyone else on the road with no punishment I was genuinely scared for my life and in the process both he and I endangered others on the road ultimately this has left me feeling very disappointed with the system an act of violence was committed and due to technicalities

the driver gets off I'm trying to keep my retelling as factual as possible but this was a really terrifying experience even in the past few days I still feel a bit hesitant to be an aggressive driver like overtaking people or just changing lanes and have lost my comfort in honking I really wish I could say this didn't get to me but it has one OD detail is that the man was taking pictures of my car before the bang happened what could he possibly want that for has anyone been in a situation ation like this is

there truly nothing that can be done any recommendations how I can at least have someone check on those kids like I said I have footage and everything I have had several creepy experiences I'm going to start from the one when I was in college in my bedroom the building was Modern and so I was more caught off guard I guess you expect ghosts to be chilling in some Old Stone building and whatnot I lived in Lincoln UK which is a fairly historical City I was laying in bed at night grinding shinies on Pokémon Diamond when

out of the corner of my eye I saw movement I looked up from my white DS and at the end of my bed was a figure a woman in all black just staring I stared back silently my brain frozen over without looking away I felt for the light switch and hit the light for some reason I assumed that this would make her go away but it didn't I shouted jumped out of bed and ran my housemates were all awake in the living room and they were super concerned we went back to my room and there

was nothing there I got mocked for the rest of the year roll on four years I'm living on my own in China Nan Chang in the winter it gets cold and lonely being the social butterfly that I am I decided to buy a bird from the old Pet Market the guy gave me a fairly good deal on a majestic baggie I don't know what her English name is he assured me that I would be able to teach the bird to talk LOL it didn't take long for the bird to become used to me and eventually

would happly sit on my head hand or shoulder but would never talk I named it brir after the most important character in Lord of the Rings as winter went on things started to get a bit strange one night I was sitting watching a rest of development when all of a sudden the bird began to laugh not that weird right everyone laughs at Arrested Development but this laugh was creepy and it was high and then got low a moment later there was a banging on my door I opened it and a man started shouting at me

I had no idea what he was saying and then he barged into my flat he walked over the balcony one I had never even bothered to open and start started shouting stuff at me I walked over and even though it was locked up it was flooded an outside tap was fully turned on and the water was pouring all down the side of the building he had to go and get a key turns out he was maintenance open the balcony and turned the tap off it took a while as the tap had been Twisted so tight

it was stuck in the background brir just laughed the second time I heard this laugh I wasn't alone another forign teacher from Holland was sitting with me we were both drinking whiskey and listening to music when suddenly the laugh began again we watched as the knob of the stereo turned on its own first all the way up then all the way down at the time I didn't make a connection with the laughing and the weirdness we were both pretty unnerved one night I brought a girl back with me she was scared of birds so I

put brir in his cage and covered it with a thick blanket we went to bed I closed the bedroom door and she got a headache and we went to sleep I could hear the bird laughing through the cage and through the wooden door we woke up to banging on the door this time it was the bedroom door someone was in my apartment the girl started to panic in ways that only girls do when there's an intruder so I grabbed something heavy and went over to the door and pulled it open at first I thought there

was no one there but then I looked down rir was at my feet staring silently the girl didn't come back at this point I decided the bird had to go I put it back in the cage and found a friend who' said he'd take it the final night before he left I was in bed and I heard the laugh again it filled me with Dread and waited for something to happen but nothing did I fell asleep and woke up in my bedroom to the door slamming and I woke up there was someone in my room

she was speaking to me in a very hurried fashion but there was no sound she wasn't like the scary Lincoln lady she was scared she ran out of my room and I followed hitting as many light switches as possible and then she was gone the bird cage was empty but I could hear the laughter coming from my bedroom I went back in and sitting on the top of the lamp was brir I didn't sleep that night the next day I took him to my friend's place I had told him everything honestly as I'm not that

much of an idiot but he was delever to have the bir bird and this is the part of the story that seems the most far-fetched but I swear down it happened I gave the bird to my friend and as I was about to leave a little voice in my head said I miss you H in the end the bird escaped from my friend's house a few months after that and was never heard from again probably for the best my dad died this past December we were close and I am still devastated dad was an Air

Force officer Avid bird watcher practical joker and an amazing cook he also put black pepper on damn near everything I went to his farm to hold down there and take care of his dogs and chickens until they could be rehomed while I was there my stepbrother came to visit to keep me company for a day day and we lit a fire in the backyard fire pit and cracked a few beers half hour into our conversation a bald eagle buzzed us this was literally less than 5 ft over our heads it wasn't going after prey and

had no reason to fly that low other than to get a good look at us and let us know it was there there's no doubt in my mind that was my dad after my step brother left I was walking in the house there's a b door that leads straight into the kitchen with a spice rack next to it as I'm opening the door a single container of black pepper flies off the shelf and lands about 4 ft away there were a bunch of other spices on the shelf that didn't get moved just the black pepper

I'm convinced that was also dead I immediately pour a little Bourbon and another and another that night I got roaring ly drunk I cried my eyes out howled at the moon and screamed in the heavens everything I ever wanted to say to my dad but I didn't get a chance to I walked into the kitchen the next morning to find one of the mouse traps up on one Edge there's no way that that happened naturally I know my dad heard me wherever he is during the cleanout I pulled my dad's windup clock off the wall

this was a clock that my dad had built the casing for but hadn't worked in several years since my stepmother died dad me and my brother had all taken a crack at fixing it to no avail it was a pretty clock but if it didn't run it was going to be given to charity I pulled it off the wall and set it on the front porch and lo and behold it started ticking my wife's mouth fell open and that both sent shivers down our spines it was Dad telling me don't live the clock away and

it now hangs in my house and finally after the funeral 6 months after his passing we returned to the farm to bury his ashes while packing up and about to leave the following morning a rooster showed go up it was the exact breed my dad had it came walking along the street turned the center of the long driveway and walked straight up to the house there's a section of the front yard where Dad had buried his past dogs the rooster walks straight up to the gravite picks around for a minute looks at me clucks then

turns walks out the gate and into the cornfield dad was the only person within 5 miles that had that breed of chicken new ham she read I also think that was my dad coming to say hello there was a guy who I used to work with called Dan Dan was a chill guy who everyone got on with but was a little weird at times he used to believe in a lot of things aliens ghosts government experiments the lot he wasn't religious but that's besides the point while messing around at work he explained stupid things to

us about how he seen spaceships and how all this paranormal stuff happens when he's at home some of it is quite ridiculous but I listen anyway a few weeks later he invites me for a round of beers I was driving so I couldn't really drink but I still went over we get on the subject of ghosts and he starts explaining things to me like how he was once eating an apple and it just exploded as he went to take a bite I laughed it off and thought it could have just been some sort of pressure

with the way he was holding it causing it to explode but he was deadly serious and pulled out a few pictures of this apple and started showing me the damage it had done to him there was a picture of him with a cut on his cheek caused by the Apple however I was still unconvinced this meant there was a ghost in his house he wasn't messing around and told me to hold on and that he'd show me something and he pulls out of this shoe box full of pictures from around the house and just says

flip through those you'll see with a deep sigh I say okay I go through these pictures of a recent Christmas the usual photos kids opening presents the family having Christmas dinner having a few drinks at night a group shot that's when I stopped this was the photo that left me in a his family was standing in front of this mirror and I kid you not in the reflection of the mirror was an Edwardian girl smiling straight at the camera this was not one of those could be a smudge type of thing it was not hidden

behind someone can barely make it out either NE no this was a clear colored taken photograph with the girl's reflection being black and white you could make out her face her smile her clothes her hands everything it doesn't end there though Dan says to me told you I wasn't kidding you I go to the next photo same sort of thing family members have moved around and so had the girl she's doing a different pose she's smiling now and showing her teeth I couldn't believe what I was seeing there was this black and white girl standing

right in the mirror smiling at me like she'd been there the whole time I felt like someone had just thrown a bucket of ice cold water over me like I was being watched like I wasn't welcome anymore and felt like I needed to leave I put the photos back in the box and left shortly after I still don't believe in ghosts or radians or anything like that but I know what I saw and I know that it scared the hell out of me I used to work quite late at the University of South Florida as

I like to do my work when no one else is around my apartment is just a short ways off roughly a 10-minute drive or 40-minute walk away depending on what I took so while I do live in Tampa and it's far and away from the cities no three-story buildings in sight a few neighborhoods ample amounts of trees and ponds and as Stones throw away from a rather sizable State Park of 240 acres which in turn is adjacent to a substantially larger Wilderness Area what that means is a lot of wildlife I regularly see deer grazing

on the golf course nearby growling alligators roaming the ponds and small lakes Turtles abound plenty of vultures stalks and smaller birds and much more on my nightly walks or drives I've often seen and heard foxes Bobcats coyotes and even a black bear once so as you can imagine when I found out several cats and a small dog had gone missing I naturally thought that if a predator was responsible it would be one of the larger coyotes Bob hats or maybe even a barrel Gator people especially in gated communities leave their pets out to Rome about

the day or night still that did leave the question of how a predator could or would get over several fences and Gates some of which would be quite a hassle to climb and there was no signs of being tunneled under so why go for a pet inside a box that would be harder to get out of when fat Ducks were extremely abundant well I got my answer in one way I never expected I was driving back from the lab late at around 11:00 p.m. when I stopped as I could see an animal on the road

the figure was very tall but also very thin so I initially thought the pale color to be from a deer from the rear however I soon noticed the animal was actually pale all over its main body it had extremely thin dark legs and when it raised itself up I noticed I was looking at a a great white Heron from behind great white herons are a regional color morph of great blue herons I'm a 16-year-old girl and work as a waitress at a restaurant there are a lot of other girls around my age who also work

as waitresses each waiter/waitress has a certain section of tables to serve I haven't worked here for very long but worked here long enough to manage a section on my own I'm fairly friendly with my co-workers so when one of the janitorial workers would make small talk with me I didn't think anything of it he talk to me fairly often as I would often see him working in my section when I'd come out to clear tables I figured it was pure coincidence I was taking a break in the back room eating my dinner when the janitor

guy walked in and sat down at the table behind me he sat again made Small Talk literally nothing super important and as I inhaled my pancakes one of the other girls walked in and we began to chat for a while the janitor left about 5 minutes into me and the other girl's conversation and I again didn't think anything of it while I was cleaning up I thanked the girl for talking to me and she said oh I just came in to make sure you weren't alone no one should be alone with him I later learned

from the other teenage girls that the guy had a habit of pestering them being generally creepy and following them to their car while he was a middle-aged man I was freaked out and of course looking back I'm 80% sure the dude was following me around while I worked in my section so to the creepy janitor dude please get lost this happened last year my friend and I were coming back to my town after hanging out across the state line when this lady started flashing her brights to my friend to go faster we were going the

speed limit and it was dark and hard to see after a while she pused to the side of us which she could have done the whole time and we can hear her yelling at us like a banshee through our rolled up Windows in our state several people have been shot over road rage so my friend grabs for her phone in case something starts going down as she's reaching the car swerves slightly towards the lady and she recovers the lady screams even louder and gets behind us again riding our bumper we come to the first exit

for the town I live in and I told my friend to take it so we could not have this crazy lady next to us she follows us to the exit so I have my friend turn into a parking lot the lady followed us but got caught by a red light so we leave the parking lot back to the highway and she comes right back at us again luckily a truck pulled out and blocked her vision of us and we made a right turn when the traffic allowed on a red light and swerved between cars to

put as much distance between us as possible we finally lost her after she had been following us for 11 miles when I was 10 I was spending the night at a friend's house and my buddy and I were sleeping downstairs in the front room this house had an old dirt wall basement Cellar that none of the kids were ever allowed to go into the entrance of which was a door in the hallway that connected the front room to the kitchen at about 1: or 2 in the morning I wake up to the sound of the

door opening and closing and I look in that direction and see my buddy's little sister exit the cellar and walk quietly towards the kitchen thinking to myself there's no way that my buddy's 5-year-old sister snuck downstairs to the basement and Back Again into the kitchen I get up to go investigate as I'm walking down the hallway I can hear her shuffling around I finally reached to where I can see into the kitchen and look directly at her she's standing on her tippy toes reaching a large glass jar filled with granola bars as she's pulling a

granola bar out I call her name she quickly turns around on her heels and with a shocked look on her face and I flip the light switch on she completely disappears and the gr Ola bar falls to the ground as you can imagine I freak the hell out run back to the front room and cover myself with blankets and don't sleep the rest of the night by 7:00 a.m. my buddy's parents are coming downstairs carrying the little sister grumbling that they didn't get enough sleep because she slept in their bed all night and then proceeded

to wake us up and scold us for leaving the jar of granola bars open all night once upon a time I lived on South Beach Miami and worked at a local Alternative Clothing Store right on the main strip one day in the middle of summer I was at work with just the store owner with me there it was slow season and the customers were scarce so she made herself busy dressing mannequins on one side of the store while I sat folding shirts behind a display case on the other side it was boring to say the

least but at one point the owner interrupted me to ask if I had seen her kids come through they lived upstairs so this would not have been unusual however I had not and told her so when I asked why she said she could have sworn she heard some kids laughing and talking somewhere in the store but I hadn't heard a damn thing so she went back to her task obviously confused confused I resumed work folding the clothes and thought nothing more of it all was quiet and completely unremarkable for the next 10 or so minutes

until a sudden movement in the corner of my eye caught my attention I then turned to look just in time to see my bottle of Vitamin Water launch itself from where it was sitting on top of the display case slam into the wall 5 ft behind and spill all over the floor no joke that bottle flew into the wall like it had been struck by a baseball bat hard enough to get a home run I say that I was perplexed and that's an understatement I sat there Frozen and stared at the mess as I struggled

to comprehend what and how it happened I would have been able to see someone if they'd have thrown it and no one was around not a soul but it wasn't physically possible Right my brain felt like it was going to short C it a few moments later I was still staring stupidly at the mess when the owner walked up to check on me is everything all right she asked when she saw what happened I I didn't know what to say but I think I mumbled something about the bottle getting knocked off the counter and I

told her I would clean it up right away satisfied but still confused she Shrugged and walked away now this is where it gets really wild if you've ever seen a vitamin water cat before you know it's made of quite hard thick plastic that is nearly impossible to break without some sort of tool so whatever Quantum Force decided to make an example out of my bottle that day must have been especially powerful because the impact it had made against the wall split the cap clean through the center sending both pieces flying in opposite directions before they

hit the floor I'm just glad I wasn't in the way so take it from me altergeists don't mess around so I was about 7 years old when this happened my dad and I had stopped at a fast food restaurant in a pretty shady area because he had to use the bathroom there weren't that many people dining in there and the restrooms were in the very back like in most fast food places my dad told me to stay at the table right outside the bathroom and that he'd be right back I wasn't too worried because although

I didn't like being left alone my dad always made sure to be super quick in public bathrooms so that I wouldn't be left alone for too long but almost immediately after he went in I felt eyes on me and noticed there was a small group maybe of three to five older men all in their late 50s sitting a few tables away they were all staring at me simultaneously without speaking and I remember feeling kind of kind of scared because it was so odd even as a little kid who didn't really know what was going on

so one of them says fairly loudly and I remember this so vividly wow look at that pretty little girl over there all alone we should do something about that and they all burst out laughing I felt so much dread at this point I didn't know what they meant but I knew they were bad fortunately my dad came out moments later I whispered something to him that I don't remember but I think you could tell something was wrong by how scared I looked and without saying anything he walked out with me and we rushed to the

car we never talked about it but after that day my dad would always take me into the public bathrooms with him I know this might not be the creepiest story but it was scary enough that combined with some other experiences I don't think I can ever fully 100% trust a man to not be creepy or want to hurt me so Everlasting trauma is certainly fun I used to work quite late at the University of South Florida as I like to do my work when no one else is around my apartment is justed a short ways

off roughly a 10-minute drive or 40-minute walkway depending on what I took so while I do live in Tampa and it's far and away from the cities no three-story buildings in sight a few neighborhoods ample amounts of trees and ponds and as Stones throw away from a rather sizable State Park of 240 acres which in turn is adjacent to a substantially larger Wilderness Area what that means is a lot of wildlife I regularly see deer grazing on the golf course nearby growling alligators roaming the ponds and small lakes Turtles abound plenty of vultures stalks and

smaller birds and much more on my nightly walks or drives I've often seen and heard foxes Bobcats coyotes and even a black bear once so as you can imagine when I found out several cats and a small dog had gone missing I naturally thought that if a predator was responsible it would be one of the larger coyotes Bobcats or maybe even a barrel Gator people especially in gated communities leave their pets out to Rome about the day or night still that did leave the question of how a predator could or would get over several fences

and Gates some of which would be quite a hassle to climb and there was no signs of being tunneled under so why go for a pet inside a box that would be harder to get out of when fat Ducks were extremely abundant well I got my answer in one way I never expected I was driving back from the lab late at around 11:00 p.m. when I stopped as I could see an animal on the road the figure was very tall but also very thin so I initially thought the pale color to be from a deer

from the rear however I soon noticed the animal was actually pale all over its main body it had extremely thin dark legs and when it raised itself up I noticed I was looking at a great white Herm from behind great white herons are a regional color morph of great blue herons being nearly all white in coloration including the trademark tassels coming off the Brows of the birds save for the top Jan feet which are both dark blue or black the white form usually only appears in very Southern Florida but occasionally one will show up further

north they also tend to be on the larger end of the species size I make no Gest when I note how big this Aven was standing up straight the biggest great herand can look a grown man in the eye behind nearly a foot long Rapier shaped beak the Herm was throwing its head up and down and clearly doing something but I wasn't sure what I was standing in the road about 20 yard ahead of the car and could only react when I got closer it swung its head head around and I'll never forget the sight

as I stopped 10 yard away the Herm was standing still unflinching as its eyes brightly reflected in the headlights the white feathers across the chest and part of the wing were stained in a tar red from coagulated blood as it had half of a cat hanging out of its mouth herand can gulp down surprisingly large prey such as B Big Fish muskrats Bullfrogs and even young alligators but it's one thing to see them swallow a wild creature whole in still frame or in pixel on a video it's a whole different ordeal to see one doing

it in the flesh after having killed its prey by impaling it on its beak when I compared the beak to a Rapier earlier I meant it they can impale that thing through the armored scales of a garfish herons have been known to kill Eagles by ramming their beaks through the latter's chest poor cat never stood a chance the Heron didn't seem at all phased by my arrival instead it flicked the dead cap back and forth into position in its mouth before tilting its head up you know that shot from Jurassic Park when the Tyrannosaurus swallows

a goat same sort of visual at first only with another disgusting detail when the Heron started swallowing its thin neck bulge outwards to accommodate the food it kept its eyes pointed straight at me as the big wad of slain feline slowly worked down its throat to the crop sometimes a limb visibly impressing towards the outstretched skin all the while the Heron let out raspberry breaths while standing tall still spattered in Gore from pecking on the poor pet to death and after it finally swallowed its prey the Heron paced closer to the side of the road

it actually got next to the car at one point and was close enough I could confirm its height to be about 5 ft or more because the top of its back was level with my side mirror it was at that point I realized I had the windows partially rolled down and was smelling sanguine musk of death the damn bird was nearly level with my window looking right at me and leaning closer needless to say that snap me out of my stuer I blurted the horn to make it back off on the menu ore not I

didn't like how it was looking at me driving down the road and making the turn I could still see it looking towards the car as it paced down the darkened sidewalks like it was the most casual thing ever a 4 to 5ft tall predator half clovered in blood just to be there obviously I was in no direct danger myself being in the car and decidedly not on the menu but I didn't like the way it looked at me this Aven Predator clearly didn't at all fear people even if it seemed conscious of cars in my

presence and given this happened in a gated community I'd never seen any mamillion Predators bigger than a posin I think I now know what was eating those pets we often can hear nowadays that birds are living dinosaurs but I don't think some quite register that the featherheads they're familiar with are fat City pigeons or delicious fowl I think seeing this would help get the message across and at night every so often I can still hear the deep throaty shrieks that species gives off from flying over the forests and swamps and into the neighborhoods don't leave

your pets out people let me preface this by saying that while I was pregnant a colleague of mine with whom I was close had started coming with me any time I left the office to do anything they got records shop during lunch grabbed something to eat because she was adamant that a young heavily pregnant girl shouldn't be out by herself too many horror stories about pregnant women being taken or cut open for their babies and stuff she would say that and no matter where we went she would always have an absolutely true story about someone

she knew personally who who had been stalked or threatened or nearly abducted while pregnant at the time I brushed off her warnings at utter nonsense skip forward a few months I was 23 and a new mother confined at home on maternity leave I'm very excited for my first daytime Excursion at the house with my infant son who was 2 to 3 months old at the time my husband wasn't too thrilled at the prospect of me going out alone with our son while he was at work especially in my premom car a white Mustang GT convertible

but he begrudgingly accepted on the condition that I swap cars with him for the day since he drove the Ford Explorer we had purchased in anticipation of the baby's arrival I'd only driven the truck once since we bought it so I wasn't that familiar with it nonetheless I loaded it up with the stroller the car seat a diaper bag overflowing with nearly all of our baby gear and a six-month emergency supply formula you know just in case I was only running out to do errands and plann to stop at Target the grocery store and pick

up a few things for lunch on the way home my first stop was Target where I relished my newfound Freedom not paying nearly as much attention to my surroundings as I should have been but on my way out one thing did catch my eye an average looking white guy in his late 20s to early 30s average height with dark blonde hair wearing a tight light gray t-shirt and nerdy glasses leaning against the wall leading to this door exit I immediately felt a wave of Terror wash over me but I convinced myself there was absolutely nothing

aboral about him to Warrant my worry and I brushed it off as new mom paranoia next I made my way to the grocery store where I parked towards the back of the parking lot to avoid smashing into any other cars since I had no practice parking such a big truck as I hopped out the driver's seat another completely normal thing grabbed my my attention a compact red Chevy parked two lanes over from me with a good 12 to 15 spaces between it and the car parked next to it I had parked far back for a

reason I remember thinking the Chevy had no similar discernable reason but again I'm a paranoid mom with an already paranoid nature so I ignored it I did make note however that I thought the Chevy had parked there before me I would later realize it had followed me there but the driver still hadn't gotten out even though I had pulled in after it and spent a good 10 minutes getting the baby into the stroller before going in you would think the driver would have gone into the store by now over an hour later I returned to

the truck and scanned the parking lot there was the red Chevy still parked in the same spot driver still in his seat again I rationalized that he must have gone in after me and somehow had people finishing just before me otherwise he'd had to have been watching me and rational people don't think other people are watching them right I packed everything up and headed across the street to the McDonald's drive-thru to pick up something to eat on my way home the Chevy was following me I noted but while I pulled up to the speaker he

pulled into the back of the parking lot of an adjacent bar and parked facing me logic would normally overcome at this point but I was determined not to be crazy so I collected my food and decided to prove once and for all that the Chevy wasn't following me I left the drive-thru and headed back to the grocery store where I had first noticed the Chevy since he was still there I thought he would have no reason to go back unless he was stalking me and sure enough he followed now hellbent on proving myself wrong I

looped around the parking lot crossed into the neighboring Street and back through the parking lot again something no one would have any reason to do unless you're trying to to prove that you're being followed of course to see if he followed I had to repeat the loop three times before I was thoroughly convinced that I was being stalked I finally allowed the fight ORF flight feeling I had been fending off all morning to take over I suddenly thought of my colleague who had repeatedly told me to never drive straight home if I ever thought I

was being followed knowing that I lived in a very remote area with no neighbors I started to head for the police station the only problem was I hadn't thought to check the gas gauge and since my idiot husband never stops for gas the low gas warning chose to go off at that very moment I knew I didn't have enough gas to make it to the police station let alone home and the Chevy had to know I was on to him by now so I wasn't about to risk stopping to fill up I started coming up

with Alternatives I could call 911 from my cell phone explain the situation and have a police officer meet me in the middle before I ran out out of gas brilliant I thought to myself and as I reached across the passenger seat to grab my cell phone unfortunately as I was unfamiliar with the truck I didn't know that you weren't supposed to lay anything on the passenger seat one sharp turn and whatever was on it would slip across the seat and down into the space between the side of the seat and the door I frantically patted

down the entire seat before I realized my phone must have slipped and there was no way I could reach it without pulling over and getting out by now I was going 80 M an hour down the highway and the Cherry was right behind me I peaked out the rear view mirror and he was close enough for me to make out what he was wearing a light gray t-shirt and I recognized the nerdy glasses covering his determined eyes I realized it was the totally normal guy I had seen standing at the exit of Target he'd been

following me for almost 3 hours by now I suddenly understood the gravity of the situation I wasn't crazy I was being hunted the last idea I could conjure up was to make a break for my husband's uncle and aunt's house they lived in the neighborhood just next to the grocery store and his uncle worked the swing shift which meant he would be home right now if I stayed in the trunk and honk the horn I could get him to come out and see what was going on he's a badass kind of guy definitely the kind

you wouldn't want to annoy and I knew he'd protect me and the baby the only problem was I was going in the wrong Direction down the highway and I'd have to take a Jug Handle and wait at the light to turn myself around and by now I was sure that even a red light would be more than enough for this guy to bust open my window and end my life and steal my son then I recalled another bit of advice from my colleague if you ever need help but you can't call for it break the

law and you'll get the police's attention I decided my best course of action was to make an illegal u-turn at the next possible traffic light and if the Chevy followed me book it to my uncle's house if my blatant traffic violation caused the attention of a nearby police officer I could appeal for them for help and his mere presence would likely scare the Chevy away I passed three lights waiting to find a patrol car until I saw an opportunity a very short Gap in a barrage of lunch traffic spanning four lanes maybe just maybe I

could pull off this U-turn and the Chevy would get stuck waiting for the traffic to pass before he could follow I stayed in the left lane and I approached the light praying it would stay green long enough for me to make it and tanked every pound of what little weight I had on the gas pedal right before I approached the light it turned yellow so I quickly turned the truck left and rammed it crossing my fingers I didn't cause an accident the tire squealed so loud I was sure I was going to flip the truck

but I kept going ignoring the noxious smell of burning rubber frantically checking behind me to see if it had made it he was stuck at the red light blocked by traffic still facing in the opposite direction pounding into his steering wheel I drove around back roads near the highway for what seemed like an eternity until the gas ran to E before I finally had the courage to stop at the gas station I got out to get my cell phone while the attendant pumped my gas trying to conceal my violent trembling I was too afraid to

sit for long so I waited until I was back on the road to call the police by now I knew the Chevy had gone but the dispatcher still sent an officer to meet me on the highway and Lead me back to the station just in case he was still looking for me I was too consumed with escaping to catch its license plate and I didn't know the color make nor model of the car and I had gotten a pretty good look at the driver in Target the police were able to get a photo of the

driver and the car from the surveillance videos at Target and McDonald's and I was pretty confident they'd find him unfortunately by the time we had moved out of state A year later they still had no clear idea who the guy even was the fact that he was unsuccessful in his Pursuit probably bumped the priority of my case to the bottom of the pile although the police department did spend quite some time investigating fearing that he had succeeded before or worse that he might strike again I'll probably never know what the guy's intentions truly were the

police family and friends have theorized everything from a stupid prank spawned from road rage to an easy rape to kidnapping my son but I still shudder to think what would have happened had he caught me and even now 4 years and 5,000 mil away from the town where it happened I still check the parking lot of every establishment I visit just in case he found me and has come to finish what he started if anything good did come from this though is that I learned my lesson no matter how crazy and paranoid my husband thinks

I may be I will always trust my gut when I feel like something's wrong oh and now I always make sure to fill up the gas tank whenever it drops to half a tank so I never have to about worry about stopping for gas if I'm ever in a sticky situation again I used to work in a store built in a former World War II military hanger I didn't think much of it until I went into workspace that was the former ready room and saw some of the desks and counters were original for some reason

the hair lifted on my neck and when I asked people working there about the area they just Shrugged and said it was haunted everyone knew that and it was an eerie feeling not creepy but like being close but not in touch with an electric current I always felt like time had bent on itself there like the sailors were busy doing their jobs and so was I they were nice though I always spoke to them quietly when I was there one time I was looking for some tiny repair parts with no luck and I finally asked

hey guys can you help me I walked around the table where I had just been to find a bag full of those parts sitting there alone I said nervous thank you and fled another time I was doing inventory alone when a baby doll 2 hours away out of the blue asked will you play with me I told it I was a little busy but then decided it was time for a break the presence scared a lot of people worse than me but it was pretty awesome too when you think about it I only climbed up

to the top of the tower when a frightened coworker asked me to go with her as it was just used for storage at the top I didn't feel the presence as much as I did in the old ready room down there they had hung a curtain over a window that had once looked out to the hang of floor with the interior shelf of the store in place the window now looked into an attic of shadowy shapes and no one wanted to look there too long still I hold that there was no sense of evil just

the constant tingle saying you weren't alone it was a cool space full of History including a Stairway banister covered with intricately knotted sailor rope work two years ago my family had our first first Christmas at my grandmother's house since my great-grandfather had passed away there was a definite somber tone to the otherwise festive Gathering as he was a big part of our family getto togethers fast forward a few hours into night my uncle who was a bit of a disturber with the Twisted sense of humor started poking fun at silly things my great-grandfather used to

do began harmless but of course he took it way too far and started making fun of pretty rude things like the fact he had a hard time chewing his food near the end of his life pretty horrible I know as soon as the statement left his mouth the craziest thing I've ever experienced happened my grandmother has a bookshelf in the living room where we were all situated in one of the shelves the second one from the top was almost a mini Shrine to him while everything on that shelf went flying off literally shot across the

room and fell to the floor as if someone had thrown it the weirdest thing was nothing nothing on any of the other shelves were touched just the stuff on the one dedicated to him no one was beside the shelf and there were no windows open needless to say my uncle was scared and bolted out of the room as we were all stunned I have no logical explanation for what happened that night but we do like to say it was our grandfather telling my uncle to smarten up one last time about 20 years ago I went

to visit a relative who had just moved to our town she invited me into her kitchen for tea we sat at a little table in the corner but at one point she left the room to go and get something I don't remember what I glanced over to the other side of the kitchen and saw a man hanging by the neck over the stove from one of those plant hanger hooks moments later she returned and just said um not sure how you're going to feel about this but I just saw a man hanging by the neck

over there and pointed to the stove she asked what did he look like he had dirty blonde hair and mustache and wore a brown flannel shirt she went white after a minute of her just staring at me she said no one out here knows this but the reason we moved from New York was because our roommate hung himself in our basement and he looked like the man you just described I also have another story early morning morning Thanksgiving 6 years ago I was taking the turkey into a large roasting pan to my cousin's house so

that she could cook it in her oven because I had other baking to do and they had two ovens their house was and is at least 100 years old when you enter the house through the front door you can either go straight through a hallway to the kitchen or turn right to go into the living room off of the hallway to the kitchen there is a small bathroom with a door that opens out into the hallway so my cousin's husband opens the front door and instead of taking the roasting pan from me hurries to the

hallway to shut the bathroom door that someone had left open he steps into the bathroom and pulls the door closed so that I could make it through to the kitchen as he's in the bathroom and I'm carrying an even heavier roasting pan I feel an enormous amount of energy rush through my body from behind me through the front of me and then I saw a very large m with dark salt and pepper hair stomp away from me and go through the swinging door to the side dining room I hurried to set the roasting pan down

and then went to the still swinging door to look in the dining room to see what the hell just happened when I pushed the door open and looked in the dining room there was dead silence and I was stunned I turned back around and my cousin's husband was walking into the kitchen and said did you see that his face was deadly serious all he said was I don't want to talk about it and they moved to another house a year or so later my final story goes like this I had come home from work for

lunch it's a 5-minute drive and afterwards I was driving back to work but had to take a different route than usual right past a very large and beautiful Cemetery the street is divided one with large trees in the median so I pulled out and turned left there wasn't any traffic it was a beautiful sunny day and I've driven down that road about 10 yards no traffic no parked cars when I looked out the passenger window and suddenly see a young man sitting there on the curb he's wearing long jean shorts a red t-shirt and a

baseball cap and he's sitting on the curb as if he's waiting for someone it surprised me so much because I hadn't seen him when I looked and I should have seen him so when I passed him I looked in my rearview mirror but then there was no one I pulled over and actually did a double take and actually got out there was still no one there fairly sure he was a ghost some years back I was at University with a friend I'd known from school we weren't best friends but good mates we'd known about each

other and got on well enough I knew that he was a spiritualist and he he'd sometimes talk about his spiritual guide and whatnot not really what I believe in but each to their own anyway we were both hanging around the halls of residence where I lived as he lived in another Hall wasting time and watching crap on the tiny TV in the Shar kitchen we were waiting until 2: a.m. as that's when WWE or WWF as it was called them would be showing as we didn't have sky or table for our American friends we would

often wait up in the Halls then walk down to the local 24-hour snooker SLP Hall which would show Sky Sports usually you could ask them to stick the wrestling on and turn the volume up we're chatting a lot of rubbish and just watching stupid stuff on the TV can't remember what we were talking about but I remember after that it wasn't anything creepy we hadn't been drinking or anything either and we're all completely sober we're chatting away when we realize we need to get down to the pool hall if we want to catch the wrestling

so we stick on our coats and continue our conversation as we're walking outside now it's the weirdest thing the moment I walk through the door I feel cold they REM mind it's 2:00 a.m. this is England sometime in the spring so it wasn't going to be warm up but I mean it's like I had children running up and down my spine cliche perhaps but the best way I can describe it it is the slow feeling of creeping dread you get when you're watching some scary movie and the ominous music starts to play I tried to

shrug it off but it's like the dread was increasing with each step down the street the air actually felt heavy like it was difficult to breathe I know it sounds like any other creepy Pastor story but it's the only way I know how to describe that horrible feeling in my gut a minute out the door I suddenly realized we were both silent we were chatting and laughing as we left the halls but our conversation seemed to have just faded out of existence I remember looking down the street thinking that perhaps this was me being nervous

about any dodgy characters nearby but the road was clear it was a clear night nothing out of the ordinary at all but to me there was this massive alarm going off in my head I was terrified of something and I didn't know what picking up on the silence finally I simply said H air feels a little thick tonight my throat was dry at this point he looked at me with a pale face and said oh God you can feel it too we managed to hold a halting conversation about what it could be but it was

difficult as we both felt sick to our stomachs finally as we crossed the road I remember my friend turning even more white and saying it's death death is here I don't really remember much after we crossed the road weirdly the strange feeling suddenly subsided and we both laughed it off even though we'd both felt it we made it to the pool hall and I didn't think much of it for a few days it wasn't until later in the week that I was walking from uni without my friend that I passed a building close to the

Halls on the road we crossed over where my friend had felt death there were three police cars and an ambulance there I remember watching in horror as a pair of coroners were removing a body wrapped up in Black we looked it up in the local paper the next day apparently three three homeless people had died together in the building after seeking shelter and they'd been dead for a few days before being discovered and removed never did find out what they died of and we didn't go see much wrestling after that you know how people say

trust you got feeling well here's how I learned to trust mine when my girlfriend and I were traveling in Australia we were both there on our working holiday visas and met each other at work after nearly a year my girlfriend's Visa was about to expire but mine lasted another 6 or seven months due to working on a farm prior since we had spent most of our time in the beautiful city of Sydney we were ready to see other parts of the country too what most Backpackers do is pay a company that takes them up the

East Coast by bus or simply rent a camper van and drive dve to the coast themselves we chose the latter option with a few changes we were going to start the journey by bus up to Brisbane and from there rent a car that would take us all the way up north from which eventually we would take a plane to Asia so the day came we said goodbye to our workplace and our friends that we had made during our stay and went off after a few days in and around the area of Brisbane we started looking

to rent a van not having a lot of money and wanting to save what we had for other Adventures we eventually settled on renting the smallest and cheapest Subaru that we could find since we figured it would be uncomfortable to sleep in the car and bought a tent instead this car was even so small that it came with a map showing where we were allowed to drive and which roads that it would be too tough for so the journey continued and with the help of our rental we had the option to visit less known or

tourist places we saw some really amazing things along the coast and since we had enough time we decided to see some of the real Australia you know The Rustic desert with red sand that you'd see on postcards of the Outback so the next day we changed our course from North and started going west the GPS was showing a drive of about 10 to 11 hours until our goal which was a small town in the middle of nowhere not too bad I was the only one with a driver's license and I had done trips like this

before leaving the coastline behind it didn't take long for the climate to change and soon we found ourselves in places just like those on the postcards the ocean wasn't the only thing we left behind it seemed the further away we got the Lesser civilization we saw which was understandable and we had gone way past the area we were allowed to drive him with our little car we weren't worried though the roads were all kept well and this was our trip which we were going to enjoy this meant taking a lot of breaks for pictures and

to take in the new landscape and scenery which in turn made it a longer Drive eventually the sun started to set as we headed towards the horizon now here is a thing that you need to know about driving in Australia you need to be very careful while driving at night or preferably do not drive at night at all this is due to the amount of kangaroos crossing the road with some of them being as large as a fully grown man how many people told me this before our trip so many but during our drive we

were so far away and hadn't seen a single one and figured that people must have been exaggerating now as the sun started to set and we actually saw a kangaroo for the first time it was nice seeing it up close we soon realized what people had been telling us was true with the song Gone the sides of the road started to fill with them it was almost like something out of a vampire or zombie movie after a few close calls we had to slam on the bra brakes to not hit any Crossing animals and we

eventually just kept a very slow pace this of course meant an even greater delay in our drive after a while of driving like this and when daylight was complet complely gone we came across a small town being quite hungry and not knowing how long it would be to the next town we decided to stop and see if we could find anything to eat this place we had just ended up at gave us a bit of a freaky Vibe maybe it was just because we were in the middle of nowhere and we both came from the

city perhaps it was because the place was so badly LED and there probably wasn't more than 10 houses my city brain probably freaked out a bit and thought this looks like The Hills Have Eyes at least it had a bar and a restaurant the place was probably frequented By Truckers going through these roads we entered and I guess every person in the town must have been there which weren't much along with one or two truckers my girlfriend and I stuck out like sore thumbs as soon as we sat down and ordered our food and drinks

the people next to us it may have been some sort of family sat down by the table next to ours we ate I didn't pay them much attention that is until I heard something they said which made my ears grow wide and a chill that ran down my spine now I can understand that people living out there would have fun spooking the tourists coming through and I'm not sure if that's what their intentions were but it got my attention as they uttered Wolf Creek if you've been in Australia you may have heard about about the

story I don't think any traveler there hasn't heard of it looking back at it it sometimes felt like a mythological creature you would tell your kids about to scare them except these stories are true Wolf Creek is a movie based on a serial killer who targeted Backpackers traveling in desolate places in the '90s I guess it happened in various ways but he often incapacitated and tortured his victims before ending them as you can understand and it is a nightmare for Backpackers however fortunately for everyone he was eventually caught and imprisoned what this group of people

next to us were talking about was that the police had arrested the wrong guy and that the real Wolf Creek killer was still out there I was sitting there listening to every word coming out of their mouths while my blood was running cold and trying not to seem Disturbed in front of my girlfriend who didn't notice the conversation taking place again I'm not sure if they were just full of rubbish and were trying to scare us but I was getting freaked out as we finished eating and paid we were leaving and the trucker sitting in

the bar turned to me had said something like you really should stay here for the night you're a fool if you're going to try and drive away at this time well I sure as hell wasn't going to stay there with my girlfriend I turned the door handle and walked out before driving off I actually checked everything about the car to make sure no one had been messing with it while we were eating but couldn't find anything wrong with it as soon as we left the town however I started to understand what the trucker had been

saying if it was bad before it was worse now kangaroos were running everywhere I'm pretty sure we hit one small poor creature and I'm saying pretty sure because I didn't want to get out to check even if I did that's how bad my gut feeling about this place was it it made us eventually have to drive even slower than before and we were now pushing 30 km an hour a grueling and excruciatingly slow pace this was absurd at this speed we would have to drive all night just to get to the next town when I

looked back in the rearview mirror I started to get an even more uneasy feeling right head lights coming up behind us fast at the time we had been driving for about half hour out of town and I couldn't see any trace of anyone just us and another car out of nowhere and I do mean nowhere except for our lights and the lights following it was Pitch Black you might think I was too chicken to consider our circumstances I bet you would too you couldn't see anything except the part of the road that was illuminated as

the car came closer and closer I got tender and tender until it was right behind us lighting up our whole car then it just P us it was a massive pickup with a metal bumper guard in front of it you could see how this guy could keep his speed he had no respect for wildlife as we could took advantage of the moment and picked up our own speed to follow the car we could see the Unlucky kangaroos flying off his bumper guard well that was all the excitement we had for the night after a few

hours we could see the lights from the next town which we had discovered was a bit larger and had a nicer feeling to it we took into a hotel for the night and slept far into the next day we weren't in a hurry to leave in the morning we took our time in staying in the area and having a late breakfast the GPS said that it would be at least another 4 hours until we could reach our destination we were on the road again in the afternoon and in daylight we could see what happened to

The Unlucky kangaroos that had been in the wrong place at the wrong time the sides of the road were filled with carcasses some new some old some probably had to have been there for years we later learned it hadn't rained in the area for about 6 years so everything that died didn't decompose but simply dried out and I guess there weren't that many animals out there that would eat bodies at least not this amount the stench was horrible every time we took a break and got out the car I really don't think there was an

area next to the road that didn't have some sort of bones or fur for the entire it of the drive as the sun started to set we got a bit anxious again we really didn't want to have to redo the experience from the night before the signs were all there and the kangaroos were lining up like zombies just as before however as the sun had passed Beyond the Horizon we saw our goal we had chosen this town since it was known to have dinosaur tracks and fossils in the area and we noticed as we entered

between the buildings and it was way bigger with more people and tourists than the town that we had been driving past that doesn't say much you could probably walk from one end to the other in 10 minutes but compared to the other towns it was a metropolis we asked around the town hotel and the camping ground if they had any space for us but they were all fully booked understandably we were probably the last people to enter for the day at least we got somewhere to eat while we planned how we would sleep for the

night since we didn't want to be rude to other people living there we thought it wouldn't be a good idea to sleep on the street in our car and both agreed not to sleep in the tent we bought because of snakes and spiders you know well eventually we came up with the idea to park just outside of town and sleep in our car there we found a spot that usually must have been used for truckers to park it was dark so I'm not sure but the ground was made of asphalt and we could just make

out the signature of a bus standing in the dark the bus driver must have either slept in there or in the hotel in front of us was the town illuminated by the street LS and behind us was absolutely nothing it almost felt like being on the edge of drifting into the universe if you would have continued in the direction right back from where we were standing you could probably have driven for days without seeing another human or anything manmade the map showed no roads or settlements in that direction ction for ages we made ourselves as

comfortable as we could in our small car and said good night before trying to fall asleep maybe it's just something that automatically kicks in at night but it's a really uneasy feeling that was upon me and the conversation between the people yesterday was still ringing in my ears the town's people had long since gone to bed and it was dead silent actually everything was dead silent not a bird or insect was making a sound not even the wind in before I started to doze off I looked at the dashboard 12:00 a.m. it said suddenly my

eyes flung open and my girlfriend grabbed my arm and was holding a tight grip looking at we with fear in her eyes what's wrong I don't know something feels wrong I understood I could feel it too the bad gut feeling was turned up Beyond maximum the clock on the dashboard showed to a am I looked around through the car window it was difficult to see anything since we had fogged up the glass with our breath the bus however was no longer in its place it was now just us we were all alone suddenly a loud

bang sounded from right behind the car it was the sound of metal to metal and I could feel my heartbeat so hard and could even feel the pressure all the way down to my toes go my girlfriend screamed and I couldn't agree more I stuck the keys in the ignition and started the engine as quickly as I could it's lucky we had rented an automatic car because I'm sure I would have Panic stalled in another one all the birds were screaming and shouting as loudly as they could from the bushes and trees around us they

all knew that something dangerous was about dust and gravel were flying around the tires as we sped out of the rest stop I didn't really know where we were going but I just knew that I wanted to get get the hell out of that place we reached the Town Center in the Square we looked around to see if anyone was following us and noticed several other cars and trucks being parked around us with people sleeping in them this gave us some assurance that our hearts could slow down a bit after a while sitting there going

through what happened I guess my girlfriend fell asleep or maybe like me she just appeared to be I kept at least one eye open open until it started to get light out about 3 hours later when we both awoke again the sun was already far in the sky and people were out and about on the streets as I was about to open the door I noticed a large greasy handprint on the driver side window I'm not sure if it was there when I eventually closed my eyes a few hours earlier or if it had been

planted there afterwards as I looked at the dashboard again to see what time it was something else caught my attention the indicator showing which doors were open and it showed that the door behind me wasn't closed I looked behind it and sure enough when I stepped out to check I noticed that it wasn't I'm not sure if it was us who didn't manage to close it completely the previous night but what I do know is that we had slept with the doors locked but if one door had been open that means anyone could have gotten

in yet again I don't know if someone was just playing a prank on us or if it was something more more Sinister when we talked about it later my girlfriend had been thinking it had something to do with aliens she had quite a phobia of them and there have been several strange sightings in the outback of Australia however my thoughts regarding the night's events made me remember the conversation about Wolf Creek killer again and how they said he was never caught what scared me the most about this incident wasn't the loud banging behind us or

the handprint on the window or even that the door had stayed open what scared me the most was that both of us me and my girlfriend felt that unexplainable feeling of Terror that made us wake up in the night it's that feeling that is now convincing me it wasn't just someone playing a prank but actually someone wanting to harm us after we had woken up in that morning we had our breakfast and everything felt great again and the got feeling that I had been having for the last two days was gone the rest of our

trip went great and without any any more scary incidences however it did teach me one thing to always listen to my gut once my husband and I went into a restaurant that was laid out in an nail shape the order counter was in the front short part of the L and the seating in the back the longer part of the L this happened in Visalia California we were far away from home with our three small kids visiting my mom in the hospital when we stopped for lunch we chose to sit all the way in the

back of the AAP there was a large mirror on the back wall so I sat facing it there were big glass windows near us facing the parking lot we were almost finished with our meal when I noticed an extremely intense angryl looking man coming directly towards us from the parking lot it was weird because there was no entrance close to our table right away I got a very nervous Sinking Feeling which I tried to hide from the kids it was almost as if the creep knew we were there before he saw us he stared right

at us with an angry face and Farrow brows from the outside as he stalked towards the bend of the l-shape where the entrance was I elbowed my husband and quietly told him to be on alert the man took a seat at the table behind us without ordering food he sat there scowling directly at us we could see him in the mirror I got the Feeling we were in his seat nervous fright waves refracted from my body as I tried to keep my call hubby and I gathered the kids and hered them outside that were all

under ages five and below the man stood up and followed us to the exit then halfway through the parking lot my husb husband whispered to me our only plan if the man accosted us from behind we would turn on our heels and RAM him physically to knock him to the ground I'd call 911 while my husband would sit on top of him this nut case thank heavens the angry man stopped and returned to his seat at the restaurant perhaps he feared someone else may take his seat we set a new world record that day for

strapping three kids in car seats and screeching away down the street my name is Gary and this happened to me in my senior year of high school I live in West Tennessee and we usually get two or three snow days a year the area isn't used to much snow so normally a small amount could get us out for the day this particular day should have been a snow day but for whatever reason the school decides the roads were safe enough to drive on even though some patches of the road had ice on them we were

all annoyed but went to school anyway then after school got out I went to my friend John's house and we hung out and played video games till it got dark and I decided to drive home mind you the roads had gotten a little better but some ice was still there it's about a 15-minute drive from John's house to mine but I was trying to be extra careful not to hit any ice so it was going to take a little longer than usual pulling out of John's neighborhood there's a blind hill behind behind you that always

stresses me out because if someone came through there fast they could rear end me the road isn't very busy so it's never been a big deal but this time a car comes over the hill right as I pull out and they had to slam on the brakes because I pulled out in front of them in my defense they were going way too fast but I still felt bad about it they laid on the horn and were clearly angry at me and I gave a small apology wave and went on my way with them still behind

me 10 minutes later they're still behind me and tailgating me with their brights on making it harder for me to see I was getting nervous because they were clearly very angry and I realized by this point that they were following me I didn't know what to do and definitely didn't want to lead them to my house so I started taking random turns trying to lose them but they were right on me the whole time eventually I started driving faster so that maybe I could get enough distance between us so that I could make a they

wouldn't see that was a big mistake in hindsight I should have driven to the police station but for whatever reason I thought this was the best idea going a good deal over the speed limit I find a turn and begin to slightly break so I wouldn't turn full speed but as I was beginning to turn I hit a patch of black ice and my car slid off the road and into a small ditch crap I didn't want to floor it because I was afraid my car would tip over on its side so I just sat

there and disp Rel until I look in my rearview mirror and see the car is now parked on the side of the road with the driver and passenger doors open before I knew it my car door swings open a man unbuckles my seat Bel and pulls me out the car I really regret not locking my door because the man and his friends proceed to kick the crap out of me while I'm curled up in a ball and screaming for them to stop they just keep cussing at me and kicking until they were safely satisfied and

get in the car and drive off at this point I was completely shaken and got back in my car and called for my mom she told me to call the police and that she was on her way to collect me the police arrived but I didn't have much to tell them other than two guys in a sedan followed me from that neighborhood and beat me up it was dark so I didn't know what kind of car it was or what they looked like so the cops never found out who did it if I had just

driven to the police station instead of trying to lose them myself I could have saved myself a lot of pain I've had a few paranormal incidents myself something touching me just a few weeks ago something saying my partner and my name in our ears one night was pretty disturbing however the freakiest thing I've heard is from my mother when she was younger she lived with her best friend in a two-story house that was sectioned off into two living spaces they lived upstairs and an old lady lived down down they said that from the beginning everything

just felt off anyway their key cards kept going missing every few weeks they would get new ones and the same thing would happen again they said every night at around 1:00 a.m. if they looked out the windows into the backyard there would be a man in all black with this huge wide brimmed hat on he would just stand there and stare up at them and then vanish after 6 months they both decided to move move out they went back to make sure they had all of their stuff and opened one of the drawers and there

were all of the Lost cards that night someone broke into the house and robbed and killed the old lady my mom thinks the ghost of whatever it was was trying to get them out of there just in time it was a Sunday early afternoon the family had gone to church and I stayed at home as I'm an agnostic and hate church I was sitting in my bedroom fiddling with something I can't recall what I was doing exactly when out of the corner of my eye I saw a creature that's the best thing I can describe

it it looked like a small demon it ran across my room towards the door this happened within a fraction of a second but the fear that ran through my body was intense I'm just getting chills now remembering it I quickly ran down the stairs to the closet grabed grabed a baseball bat and sat on the couch in the living room while waiting for my family to return when they did I slid the bat under the couch and made no mention of the event to my family the best description I can give the creature is the

resemblance of the Warlock impin wow very small very fast bear in mind this was several years before wow even existed I'm just giving you an idea of what it was that I saw I'm currently reading through all of my old Diaries from ages 11 to 22 I came across a night in question in the middle of an entry when I was 12 my mom couldn't find a sitter for a late night meeting so I had to go along with her with my younger brother and a friend Mac we had to keep to ourselves it was

in a church at night naturally a cemetery in the back was where we decided to play my entry goes that we were in the cemetery in the dark I screamed and hid behind a gravestone to scare them my brother taught us a ritual to bring out Spirits you stand on a gravestone say may rise 10 times and I stood in about six different stones and did them then I was standing on one and mac and my brother were facing me mac saw something walk towards them and then run I saw a black something that was

hunched over going behind a tree my brother saw it too then we were up near the church and I was able to stare at one right next to the tree I stared for a while it was moving its head a lot then it waved at me even Mac saw it too Mac then said run but I was left standing on the stone facing my brother Mac and the church and a wooded area to the right Mac said that he saw a tall robed person standing behind a stone after at the back of the cemetery while

we were were making out what they were seeing it appeared to be a few rows closer they screamed and pulled me off the grave I fell on my stomach and looked up to see my brother running towards the church Spotlight and I followed I was Computing what I thought was a hunched robed person walking behind a tree Within the Woods next to our church at the same time they were absorbed in the figure behind me it was very odd I also want to point out that I completely forgot about part where we stood under the

light and stared at one next to the tree all three of us stood there in silence for at least a few minutes and I remember watching its head rotate around the shoulders like a pin wheel so fast it became blurry when I was in college it was the height of all the ghost hunting shows I was always really interested in the possibility of it all since I was a kid I didn't know if I believ believed in it or not I just liked the idea of investigating it all so I began doing research I read

books watched documentaries and studied different techniques the more and more I learned the more I realized that going into a situation looking for ghosts or spirits will completely ruin an investigation what tends to happen with this mentality is that your brain starts finding things that aren't there so I started to train myself to go into situations as a skeptic and instead of looking for the Paranormal it was better to look for normal explanations for the abnormal while doing this I've met people from all walks of life who also adopted this method we eventually made a

club in our University that actually became the most active and sought after Club to be a part of we were invited to houses businesses and historic Parts gburg namely to see what explanations and evidence we could find we would handpick teams for special investigations if we considered them serious we did this because the club was open enrollment and Ma could take days to have fresher courses or do and don't during investigations there would still be people looking to find ghosts out of all the investigations we did we had three places we went to that we

could not explain what we had captured on video and sound one was a theater in our home City the entire night we caught nothing and thought it was a bust even going through evidence which we were do three times provided almost nothing until a co- investigator's mother walked through the room where we were watching a tape of the entire theater and said said Who the hell's up there we made her show us in the balcony seats which were locked that night and we were not allowed up there because of the Antiques in it there was

a lamp lit behind a window curtain you could see a figure move in front of the light of the lamp to almost block it completely similarly as if you were to put a white sheet in front of a light to deaden the intensity of it and then you can see something pulled back the curtain a little bit as if it were peeking out the whole thing lasted about 15 seconds we checked our records of where each group was at the time and asked each person if they had been in the balcony all responded no we

then asked our guide who would unlock and lock the sections where we were investigating to which she responds that she did not have a key to the balcony because of what was inside them regardless she was with my group at the time of the event and every other person at the investigation was accounted for because we were able to match up time stamps from their recordings the second is gettsburg there were three instances at gettsburg that were unexplainable this evidence has been lost because we did this investigation close to 7 years ago when we were

less organized the first was a picture one of the best I've seen there were actually three pictures that ran together the first two being just fog that seemed to have a blue hue to it and the last one sending chills down my spine because it was a clear as day man lying on a rock at Devil's Den looking at Little Round Top from the bottom dressed in full Confederate Garb when first looking at it it looked like the picture was distorted Until you realize you can make out the whiskers in his beard and the gold

in his patches on his hat and arms of his coat the second which I was not there for was supposedly a piece of paper that was put on a rock in the woods that said what's your name they walked back about 40 ft or so and recorded and watched for half hour to make sure it wasn't tampered with when they went back there were clearly scribbles on the paper but it wasn't anything legible the third and final gburg story is when I was walking through an area between the wheat field and Cemetery Ridge I was

with two or three others and we had about 10 ft between us as we walked in line this is all on digital record you can hear something hit me in the back like if someone threw a rock or something and I stopped and said ouch Joe what the hell dude to which he says he didn't do anything at the time this happened we were all stopped and throughout the recording you can hear us all go silent and in the distance hear a drum play a few beats we didn't hear this at the time we were

stopped until we listened to the recording later but Joe was mentioned previously as a drama and went white when he heard it he listened a few more times before telling us it was a halt from a drum line the third one is very lengthy and I feel like I want to save it for another day I do not currently do these investigations and I'll be the first one in the room to be a skeptic with any paranormal claim but there were a few times that I was stumped I'm not saying I know if ghosts exist

or not I don't have that answer I can however say that there are things in this world we do not understand throughout the years we did the club in the University we became highly recognized having been given awards from the school for what we have done in our investigations tactics and also community and charitable work doing investigations are absolutely not what you see on TV they are much more boring and you seldom have anything happen but it's a labor of love it's hard to explain because once you find that one piece of footage you can't

explain you want more I know I'll get backlash from these claims I always do when I post my experiences but I promise on my parents' lives that what I say I did did indeed happen I have not tried to emphasize any of it and I have told these stories as they happened let me take you back 10 years or so it's 2: in the morning not a breath of sound and I sit at the dinner table under a single light bulb eating Frosted Flakes I'm the only soul in the entire house the family is gone

and the doors are all locked I feel tired but the cereal is delicious when suddenly the light bulb flickers weird that doesn't usually happen Okay back on no problem at least I can finish that's when not 4 ft away the back door opens several things happened at that precise moment and if you were able to capture it in slow motion it would have looked like this milk and cereal splashing and scattering across the table a spoon clinks on the floor I have discovered the secret to human flight and my body floats effortlessly 4T off the

ground my chair tumbles backward beneath me but I give no heed my mouth is open in horror unable to make a noise my eyes are locked on the door the door it swings open to the fullest amount but all I see is this Blackness outside when my feet touch the ground I Sprint several feet backwards and Catch My Breath the door frame is still empty nothing appears to have moved I don't feel any wind and I can't hear anything what the hell after I gather my courage I investigate the door handle is locked but it

must not have clicked completely when it was shut I figed the house must have had some pressure change somewhere and I don't know suction did it yeah that must be it and the light bulb it died I think a few days after so here's me hoping it was just round random chance I hope this happened a few months ago I'm a 23-year-old female and I finally bought a car for myself I love driving around and listening to music alone or with my siblings this very night it was around 700 p.m. winter time and I took

my two siblings 18-year-old female and 13-year-old male out for a drive after their consistent pleading because they were bored now I'm a smoker and coming from a South Asian household women aren't meant to smoke so I took the opportunity to smoke without worrying that my parents could catch me the city I live in has a good side and a bad side and I lived in the very good site or so I thought a quiet suburban area I didn't hesitate to park somewhere get out and smoke for a while while leaning against my car as I

don't like smoking in my own car and scrolling away on my phone I parked underneath a lamp post and got out and lit my Sig and all was well it was dark but I wasn't scared as I visited that road regularly and it wasn't too far from my aunt's house as I lit up I looked up from my phone and looked around to see a man walk out of the Shadows from a bush I didn't think anything of it I see people going for walks all the time around here he was at least 64 was

on the opposite sidewalk and I assumed he was just going to carry on walking so I carried on looking at my phone until I look up to see him just standing there fully facing me and watching me my sister in the car must have been watching him too and knocked on the window telling me to come in I had already buttered out my cigarette and was making my way to my car door keys in hand and the guy was still standing there completely still I got in in anyway locked my door and breathed the sigh

of relief thinking perhaps I was just overreacting I put my key in the ignition and I turned to see where the guy was and I see that he's now behind my car taking pictures of my car and my registration number I rolled my window down the tiniest bit and I could see his face a little clearer he was of Indian descent with a beard and hoodie over his head showing some features on his face I asked politely what he was doing and he came towards my window but stood a bit of a gap away in

the most aggressive tone he said do you know who I am no I didn't know whether it was rhetorical or not I have a lot of stuff going on in my house and I don't need you here parking here watching me you look real suspicious randomly parking here with your friends get the hell out of there what the hell do you think you're doing I nervously chuckled to myself myself trying to keep calm but my anxiety was already halfway through the roof at this point I didn't understand how I looked in any way threatening as

I'm a small girl who's been told that it like a kid I was in my pajamas and clearly minding my own business look I just parked here to smoke I come here all the time and live nearby he got right up to my window slid his fingers through the Gap and forced my window all the way down screaming at the top of his lungs for me to get the hell out of here I screamed in Terror and told him to stop swearing as I had a minor in the car and he was scaring him I

don't know why I knew he wouldn't exactly care he screamed and went red if you don't get out of here now I'll damage you in your car my adrenaline was already hitting Peak so I was terrified didn't even bother putting my seat belt on and jolted out of there in a panic I went straight ahead at a junction leading me to a dead end but I took that opportunity to just calm down my whole body was shaking with adrenaline I couldn't even keep my foot on the clutch my sister was quickly asking me if I

was okay before I could even answer I see a pair of headlights zooming towards me it was the guy going at least 50 mph on a 20 mph Road he nearly crashed into my car but by some miracle he didn't he jumped out the car and this is when I realized my window was still all the way down from when he forced it down I wanted to cry and I quickly tried to shut my window but he was too fast he half threw his body into my car through my window and I screamed so loudly

with his ear right next to my face I'm sure I deafened him he was trying to steal my car keys from the ignition I thanked my lucky stars that with my car in order to get the carys out I would have had to have had my foot on the clutch which I didn't with one hand and I was pressing down on the Horn of my car to make as much noise as possible to alert the people in their houses and with the other scratched his hands away from my car keys and my poor siblings were

in the car boiling their eyes out my little brother had no idea what he could do to protect me and my sister was in the passenger seat experiencing all of this in front of her eyes I H the guy enough for him to get out of my damn car I told you to get out of here or I'll hurt you I told you the guy attempted to pull up my door handle trying to open it and get in and then I kned out of there I didn't care that my body was half shaking like a

fish out of water my main priority was now the safety of my siblings and myself I knew that we were making a loud commotion I held on to the Horn of my car trying to get the attention from other houses but nobody helped it was 7 p.m. and I was certain that people would hear me screaming but they all acted obliv obvious I managed to wriggle my way out of that dead end and went to a new Street and to a totally different area and parked I knew this probably wasn't a good idea but I

knew the guy wasn't following me as I drove around for a good 10 minutes I just released my emotions and me and my sister and little brother were just sitting there in the car sobbing away this was the first time that anything like that had ever happened to me or any of us I rang the police and immediately wanted to punch myself in the face when the dispatcher asked if I got his registration of course in my panic I didn't I wanted to slap myself in the face because I listened to these horror stories on

YouTube all the time and always felt they taught me how to handle certain situations and I couldn't even bloody get a registration number the dispatcher was amazingly empathetic as was the female officer who called me the next day as a woman she understood how scary that must have been for me and again I CRI cried to her unfortunately the cops informed me there were no CCTV cameras where it happened so they couldn't really do much especially with me not knowing where he came from if he came from a house and if so which one or

his registration number the female officer apologized to me but it really was my fault for not mentally noting important information they made a report of my attack so if anything similar happened in the area they can connect them the officer said I most likely parked there and he was doing something illegal and freaked out on me I just think he was a freak who enjoyed scaring people who looked like easy prey so to the creep who tried to steal my car let's not meet again I got my first job when I was 16 at a

Taco Bell about a 7-minute drive from my house it was a step up from a McDonald's and close enough that if I didn't have a ride I could tough it out and walk or get an Uber because it would be cheap I made all my friends working there I was really shy in high school and didn't talk to anyone but work was a second home I felt more comfortable less judged and opened up into a new person after working there for a short time after a few months our general manager leaves after being hired elsewhere

and we get a new one Dan who had been working at another store he was arrested and had been in prison for a while and got out and still had his manager keys and just came back to work they needed a new general manager at my store so they switched him over and promoted him he was kind of weird but I tried to be nice I really liked all my co workers location and loved the last GM so I was trying to make it work with this one too that's when I realized he was a

massive weirdo he started sleeping in his car in the parking lot overnight he had a wife and house was Twitchy and jumpy and had a bad leg he would constantly be limping from and started stealing bags of tortillas and messing up the inventory he was just obviously a tweaker they literally hired out of prison to come run a store great fit I was over it now I missed the old general manager and the other managers were between 18 to 21 and a bit hard to get along with I was thinking of leaving but was just

sort of riding it out hoping all these people would eventually be let go then I'm standing at front counter during a shift I was assigned to Lobby IE taking people's orders cleaning the front of the restaurant and the bathrooms and restocking straws and stuff I'm wiping down a fat stack of trays and just zoned out when Dan comes up behind me so you're thinking of leaving we're all pretty much in each other's business and everyone told each other everything they heard so I didn't care that he knew and wasn't remotely surprised I just said yeah

and probably came up with some excuse about school well if you do that I'm going to have to give you a few drinks and put you in my car what I side eyed him what is that that mean I got an uncomfortable laugh and just kept on wiping I quit that very next day when I was a kid we moved into an old small house for rent we were dirt poor that time right beside the house is a closed space like it was empty but for some reason it was all boarded up with scrap and

plywood and you couldn't see what was inside when we could finally afford to rent that space A year later we found animal Claws and fangs and old herbs inside we cleaned that space in the span of a day and my parents decided to convert it into a small Church guitars and drum sets were donated to us by kind strangers and my mom was pumped up to invite all the neighborhood kids the next day but that night while saying grace for the meal I remember my dad praying God Cleanse This place from evil spirits and we

all heard a loud shriek slash growl followed by a crashing noise my mom was seated where she had a view of the door to the place I saw her just standing at something in that direction while Dad finished his prayer then we all went outside to check it out while the drums were scattered on the ground like they were carried and thrown down all the windows and doors were locked so no wind no mmore could have done that if even they were strong enough to push over such a heavy drum set I remember because I

triple checked all the locks and the windows trying to act tough around my dad when we returned to the table for dinner my mom said that while we were praying right after the noise she saw a dark figure that loomed at the door angrily pointing at her and shaking its head violently which vanished when we said amen I slept besides my parents that night the doppelgangers count as ghosts because my wife's friend used to tell her that she always used to see her doubleganger in their dormatory back in college my wife says that when they

do it's always a stressful time in her life like she'd be in class worrying about exams but her roommate would see her walking out of the CR in their room and then lie down then she's gone when her roommate tries to talk to her one night we drove out to a friend's backyard wedding but we were fighting it was a point where we both wanted out tired of constantly arguing it was ironic attending a wedding like that I parked in a wet spot empty seat and walked away to catch a bit of air I looked

back and saw her outside the car then walking in the opposite direction towards our friend's house I looked away pissed then walked back to the car to drive away and leave her behind the doors were locked I appeared inside and she wasn't there the keys weren't there either I started to run after to her but suddenly the car opened and she called out to me I was confused asking her how she did that she said she was also puzzled why was circling and peering inside the car as if I were looking for something I saw

you walk away and I wanted to get in idiot I was in the car the whole time watching you we just sat in the car in disbelief and she told me it must have been a doppelganger but I don't know how that works this happened about 3 months ago and it still comes up in conversation because we just genuinely don't know what happened or what was about to happen to us it was around 7:00 p.m. in November and it was dark in metro Detroit I was driving and my fiance was riding shotgun we were exiting

a pretty populated Highway when we turned onto a Mile Road near the city shopping mall and outlet centers being in close proximity to the mall it was strange the boulevard was that empty at this time of night so we're driving on the deserted westbound side of the boulevard when we noticed there was a stopped and running vehicle in the Middle Lane again it was dark aside from the street lights that lined the road every 80 yards or so but their brake lights were obviously lit and we were approaching quick my fiance and I were talking

in the car at the time when we both kind of stopped to verbally question what we were both seeing it was strange Behavior especially since the speed limit was 45 to 50 on this Mile Road so you don't want to be stopped especially this close to people exiting the highway so we slowed down since we're cautious drivers we approached and passed the vehicle on the far left lane as it was in the middle and when we were about a car length away from it the driver gunned it and started speeding to catch us up we

never left our left hand lane but at this point I was breaking again because the behavior was off and we noticed their driving was so sporadic braking was almost instinctual as much as it probably wasn't safe to do so continuing to drive down this Mile Road with still no traffic we can see in either direction we noticed the driver was swerving their car between the Middle Lane and the left lane as if trying to to intentionally sideswipe us instant red flag it wasn't like the driver was intoxicated or texting and just doing a poor job

at staying in their Lane this was a driver in control of their swerving and coming dangerously close to hitting the side of my Jeep going 45 M an hour bad vibes before we knew it we were blinded by a spotlight coming from the driver's window into my car via the passenger window I have 20 tints on my Jeep Windows which usually help control the brightness of the sun most mornings and evenings and even when the tints this Spotlight stunned us and we couldn't see anything but white I didn't have time to check my mirrors before

slamming on my brakes not sure I would have been able to see in my mirrors after being blinded I remember my fiance screaming what the hell and we opened our eyes and the driver was yards ahead of us speeding to get away my fianceé dial n m on immediately I don't take crap so I started racing down the road to catch him up for a license plate number in Michigan we have Michigan left turn lanes and I could see the vehicle up ahead turning into one to ENT to the mall parking lot which is a

huge roundabout the roundabout speed limit is about 25 mph with frequent stop signs and intersections my fiance connected with dispatch on the phone as I was trying desperately to catch up to this vehicle they were blowing red lights and stop signs in sight dispatch recommended we don't follow but I kind of did anyway because I was really upset and committed to grabbing their plate number but from a safe distance and at a safe speed no way was I going to tail this person when I didn't know if they had a weapon or something long story

short this driver knew we were following them and they were speeding through the roundabout cutting drivers off and blowing intersections when we lost sight of of them at this point the police said there were cops in the area that were already on their way looking for the vehicle we described and that we should leave it to them we weren't going to jeopardize our safety and the safety of other drivers just because I was angry so we stopped our Chase but still crossed an intersection into another shopping center across the street when we saw the driver

enter we figured we could prow instead of Chase in case we saw them again but we never found the car never found out who the driver was what his motives were or if the cops found him we knew he was a male because we saw him through the driver side window before he blinded us white male dark ball cap he drove a dark sedan looked like a newer Ford Fusion it was a close running and I'm not sure what would have happened if he'd have successfully crashed into us on that deserted Mile Road or if

his Spotlight had successfully veered my car off the road to the dude who scared the crap out of us and took away our eyesight while driving a moving vehicle let's not meet again I'm not sure if my mother's house is haunted nothing strange ever happened there except for one time I was awoken up in the middle of the night by what I thought was my little sister no one had said anything or touched me in any way to wake me up but there's that distinct feeling you get when you know there's someone there staring at

you you can feel their presence well that is what woke me up the presence of a little girl it was pitch black so I couldn't see a thing but I could feel someone there and it felt like it could be my little sister but whoever was there was angry the malevolent presence of a young girl girl I asked quietly Maddie what are you doing here I got no response but felt that angry presence I told myself I was imagining things but I was paralyzed with fear by this point it was very very angry and it

felt pretty hefty after a few minutes I convinced myself that it had to be my younger sister who was absolutely furious with me or perhaps sleepwalking and I was working myself into a fit for no reason then suddenly I was struck in the crotch not too hard I turned on the light only to find no one was standing there and the door was shut quite tightly utterly confused I went to check on my mother and my sister they were both sound asleep I did not go back to sleep that night that's the only strange thing

that ever happened I don't know if it was a ghost could have easily been my mind playing tricks on me even making me believe that I got punched I suppose but it always felt like a paranormal entity to me when I was 13 I woke up one night to the sound of children laughing out my window I had an 11-year-old brother who had friends next door so I thought nothing of it it happened a couple of nights in a row and so I told my little brother to knock it off or I'd go all Big

Brother on him and noogie him or something he gave me poker face and said he could hear them too but I figured he was being a dog that night I heard it again I got up and opened the window to yell at him and his friends and all I saw out of my window was the darkest blackest silhouette I've ever seen there were four or five of them about the size of a toddler as soon as I screamed they vanished dad went outside to see if he could see anything of course he didn't I heard

them twice since then the first time I bailed and slept in the living room the second time I got bed enough to look outside again and they were there I went to a 70's horror movie preacher and held up a Bible and screamed in the name of the father and the son I command you to leave and never return and they never did I'm guessing it's because they were too busy laughing at me somewhere else when I was a kid a bunch of strange crap would happen but my parents would lie as not to alert

me that didn't stop them from telling me when I was old enough though one particular occurrence was that almost every night there would seem to be someone who went down to our Hall and would seem to toggle with the door knobs as if they were locking them but everyone in the house at this time was asleep another strange happening was that I heard laughing that didn't belong to anyone in the house I asked my mom if she had one of her friends over from work and she just replied yes but they've left now I left

it at that in hindsight there's no possible way anyone could have gotten out of the house in the time it took for me to hear the laugh and approach my mom lastly there was a very strange event that happened to my sister that she swears by it was outside Sunny about 10: and she thinks to herself mom and dad are going to be late to work so she goes to wake them up only to find a disgruntled couple saying it's the middle of the night she goes to the window again only to find that the

day has ended and it's already night I've heard this time loss ordeal could potentially be attributed to aliens my uncle bought a new house a few years ago and apparently there was an old woman who had trouble letting go my aunt found said lady just lounging on the couch she freaks out and demands that she leaves her house because it's theirs now and as far as I'm aware she did and the Spectre moved on this happened a few years ago when I was bartending in college I was coming home down a stretch of divided highway

at 3:00 a.m. when I noticed a car heading towards me in the wrong lane I doubted myself at first and thought the car was on the other side of the highway but sure enough a white Ford Sedan passed me at a really high speed at least 90 it's worth noting for later that I was also driving a white Ford Sedan I was used to drunk drivers SL idiots in the middle of the night so I pulled to this side of the road to let him pass I had a Moment of clarity and thought to call

the police thinking this person could hurt themselves or someone else the dispatcher answered after telling them which road and exit mile marker I was at and told them they would send a car the police station was only a few exits away so I figured they would send somebody and I would just drive home as I headed back onto the highway I noticed some lights a few miles behind me I live in a more rural part of Southeastern Pennsylvania and traffic at 3:00 a.m. tends to be truckers and cops the car gained on me as I

was getting close to speed so I stayed in the right lane and waited to be passed instead they flipped on their high beams making it uncomfortable to drive and rode my tailgate at this point I thought I was going to be pulled over by the police I drove a white Ford Sedan and had just called about a different white Ford Sedan so I grabbed my registration for my glove box when suddenly the car behind me audibly slammed on the brakes and stopped in the middle of the highway they must have shut off their car because

the lights went out and I saw what looked to be the same Ford San from earlier still I thought it may have been a police car as they had a roof rack and it could have looked like I had reached for my gun in my glove box or something I panicked and called 911 for a second time and asked the dispatcher if they had sent a cruiser to investigate the dispatcher was a little Curt with me and assured me that they had sent someone sir we've sent a trooper out to find the car okay I

only ask because someone is following me and acting super weird it could be a cop and I think I freaked them out by getting my registration are you getting pulled over no they didn't turn on their lights let me try to get the trooper we sent out as she was talking again the car sped up towards me and stopped inches from my bumper again their high beams were on me again and they slammed their brakes I told the dispatcher I'm pretty sure it's not the police behind me the car sped To My Bumper again and

turned their high beams on this time laying on the horn hearing this the dispatcher asked me what was happening what's going on did you honk me no that's the car behind me again I don't think it's a cop I'll try to get the trooper again but I don't think that is him behind you for some reason this is what shook me before that I was thinking I was getting pulled over and maybe a ticket up until then I was going at the speed limit and trying to avoid getting pulled over I told the dispatcher I

don't care if I'm getting pulled over I'm speeding and if they put their lights on then I'll pull over I started to accelerate and the person behind me kept up with me the speed limit was 55 and they kept on my bumper the entire time at this time they were swerving I tried to signal for an exit and bail out and they followed at the next exit I took the off-ramp and continued onto the OM ramp and the car behind me followed the whole time I thought I was about to go to Wawa a a

convenience store SL gas station that's pretty much the only populated place in Southeastern Pennsylvania at 3:00 a.m. but the dispatcher thought it would be unsafe she was calm and talking to another person trying to send the police to me the other person may be a supervisor asked if I could drive to the police station realizing that I was one exit away I told her I was going there and said that she would have the Troopers meet me outside as I pulled off the exit the car follow followed me I blew a few red lights trying

to get to the police station and the car tried to pull into the other lane to pass me or pull up alongside me once the police station was in view I put on my turn signal and the car slammed on its brakes again turned off their lights and turned into the parking lot the story kind of ends anticlimactically as I pulled into the police station and met the Troopers two of them went out to find the car and I stayed with the third I thank the dispatcher and her supervisor and the a straight Trooper escorted

me home after taking a statement from me I was never called to follow or testify so I can only assume the person didn't get caught every weekday I would wake up early at around 5:00 a.m. for a morning workout then head to my job generally I would leave my house around 5:30 because my morning drive took about 25 to 30 minutes giving me enough time for 2 hours before I needed to leave before my shift started most of my drive was just me putting loud music on trying not to fall asleep and it being a

freeway before 6 almost everyone was going at least 10 m an hour over the speed limit I'll drive most of the time on a main Interstate before turning off onto a smaller Highway which I would only use for a mile or so this highway was three lanes on each side people also drive fast on here but usually not more than 75 M an hour or so and while you get some unsafe drivers in the morning most people aren't swerving erratically the highway runs north to south an onramp from a Main Street becomes a lane then

there are two entrances from the freeway I would take that every day one from the eastbound side and one from the westbound side I hope that makes sense but basically I got on from the eastbound side right as three cars from the westbound side are entering one was sort of a orangey sports car and the other two were identical gray sedans I don't remember exactly what make or model they were but I remember them being fairly uncommon not a sedan you see plenty of times a day the orange car was sandwiched in between the two

these guys were going at at least 80 the orange car would change lanes and the car in front would cut him off while the other behind behind would change lanes to remain behind they kept this up the entire time I was on the highway near them weaving in and out of cars not slowing down before I pulled off at my exit this could be a complete coincidence in some horrible drivers but I definitely got the vibe that the driver of the orange car was trying to get away from the gray ones maybe it was Extreme

Road Rage or maybe something more Sinister regardless gray car drivers let's not meet when I was seven or8 I was visiting at my mom's house for the Su my steps sister was around 11: and I shared a room with her to set the scene a bit we had two doors into our room one that leaned into the doorway off its hinges to a hallway and the other was so low it had to be dug into the ground we each had a twin bed with a window between us a vanity near the scraping door and a

closet to the right of the Leaning door I had been asleep for a bit when my step sister wakes me up calling my name telling me to get over to her bed I grudgingly get to her bed and she says she saw a black figure at the foot of my bed I didn't see anything but after a bit of looking and hiding under the blanket we look over to the vanity where we had placed a set of glowing stars in the shape of a smiley face it went from all glowing to exactly half glowing it

was as though something had stepped in front of the stars and it felt like forever though I'm sure it was only a minute or two until it started to Glow fully once again we knew no one had entered our room as neither doors had moved we are both now screaming for my brother that we think is home and his room is down the hall but he wasn't in at this point my step sister is feeling faint by being under that blanket for so long and screaming she she tells me I have to go across the

room and turn on the light as she's too weak to do it I somehow got the nerve to LEAP from the bed and run across the room to the light switch knowing she wasn't going to no matter what none but the two of us were in that room after I sat down and step sister had calmed some our door opened to my brother asking us what happened as he was with friends under our window we slept with the lights on for a good month after that and another is there are three ghosts where I work

very few say they've seen them but us longtime workers know about the angry woman the little boy and the old man in the flannel while I was walking by a table once when I thought someone grab my shirt but loosened their grip as I took a step I turned to see what the person needed but no one was there looking around the closest person was 15 ft away and behind a table I know it was one of them I was at my grandma's house in Mexico there's a demon my mom calls La anima which translates

to Assa the thing has been haunting my mom's family since they were small kids and they said the house was built on an old graveyard from the early 1900s as a kid lots of things happened that traumatized me but the one thing that has stuck with me is a nightmare I had about her I dreamt I was walking in my grandma's house and no one was home even though I knew no one was home I felt as though someone was watching me as I get to the backyard I see La anima who's dressed in all

black but as I approach her I can see her face she has yellow eyes that sink into Blackness a thin narrow pale nose and her mouth was something else her teeth were Raisor sharp and her gums were bleeding as she came closer I knelt down and started praying with a Rosary in hand she starts to cackle and it gets louder and louder and at this point in my dream I know I'm dreaming and I try to focus on praying but I can't she finally reaches me kneels down in front of me and continues to laugh

I stop praying I look up at her and she straight up says that's not going to help you and continued laughing I looked down at the rosary it was gone so was she fast forward to a few years later my uncle and I were talking about La anima and he started talking about a nightmare he had as he's talking I realized we both had the same nightmare it's crazy but I never told anyone about that dream I have an identical twin sister and have experienced some strange stuff once when she was flying from New Zealand

to California about an hour into the flight she experienced the worst turbulence of her life food was flying everywhere passengers were scared and the pilot even came on to say that he'd never encountered anything like it in his 20 years of flying now as you can imagine my sister was pretty freaked out and scared especially since she had a long way to go before the flight was over but fortunately it only lasted about 10 minutes I was on the East Coast at the time and woke up in the middle of the night out of a

dead sleep feeling terribly frightened I was so anxious that I just sat in my bed and just knew that something was wrong with me my sister I remember looking at the clock and wondering what would wake me it was about 3:00 a.m. I felt hopeless and interestingly enough kind of nauseous after 10 minutes the feeling faded I felt that my sis was fine and resumed sleep hours later once her flight had landed she called me to let me know that she was back in the States I asked her how the flight was and asked if

she had any turbulence and she was like yes it was terrible food was flying the attendants had to buckle up everyone was just waiting to fall out the sky I asked her what time it happened and after doing the math with time zones it was when I woke up to that feeling of being scared and sick she told me that the plane was hitting bad turbulence they tried going down in altitude which made her stomach Queen easy lots of stuff like that happened with us but that was the first time something woke me up in

the middle of the night twin connections a strange I was about 8 months pregnant and my great-grandfather who had raised me as his own had just passed a week prior I was having a hard time accepting that reality one day I'm sitting at my kitchen table that faces down a long hallway into a bedroom and I'm home alone I glan up from my food and down the hallway standing in the hall is a tall skinny figure roughly my grandfather's build I had to do a double take because I couldn't believe what I had seen I

felt this overwhelming calmness come over me into peace I hadn't known since before my grandfather had passed I get chills remembering it but I knew it was my grandfather coming back to tell me it was okay to be sad but that I needed to move on on because he was happy and wanted me to be happy as well I know he wanted me to know that because the feeling coupled with the thoughts I'm happy why aren't you popped right into my head I've had several encounters with Spirits since but that was the time that I

really accepted I have gifts I've been ignoring my entire life up until that point and it helped me accept them there was another time when I was babysitting my nephew just him I was alone laying on the couch watching a movie which faced directly into the kitchen doorway where said hallway and room were directly off and my nephew stops and goes who is that I thought he meant on TV and I told him the character but he says no who's the guy in the kitchen doorway and me at this point in my life was still

very much in denial and stared directly at the TV refusing to look over and said it's no one don't worry I tell him you leave him alone and he will and he did and he says okay he's gone now he said sorry my nephew is seven I'm pretty sure it's my gift and that it's running in the family my daughter is also extremely sensitive to spirits and such she's nine that's a part of my life I hadn't talked with her about yet so that she can organically come to me with it and I was shaken

I've never experienced anything paranormal myself but my family has plenty of stories to share this one took place sometime during the mid1 1950s my grandma came from a very poor family in Mexico her house was more like a shack with a dirt floor every morning my great-grandmother would send her two eldest daughters my grandmother is the Third born to go to the the woods to collect water from the river to bring back so the family could use it for washing drinking or cooking the second sister didn't tag along this particular morning so it was up

to the eldest sister to do the honor the walk to the river was about 2 miles or so she gets there and sees a long blackhaired girl playing with a stick tapping it against the flowing water the girl had her back to my grandma's sister she didn't see too many people come to the area so she she tried striking up a conversation with the girl the girl didn't answer her or even turn her back to acknowledge her my grandma's sister shrugs it off and approaches the river to collect the water when she got closer the

girl turns away slowly to face my grandma's sister and my grandma's sister immediately sees that the girl has no face just skin replacing the eyes the nose and lips she didn't really have a chin either either it was sort of just rounded off immediately my grandma's sister dropped the bucket and fled the scene running the whole two miles and she refused to ever do that chore again being from a third world country you see a lot of stuff happening all over you never think it's going to happen to you after all you're careful and you

know better you mind your own business business and everything's going to go 5 by five my mom is one of the strongest women I know she's one of 15 siblings which I think toughened her up and made her a woman of strong morals and No Nonsense she's one of the eldest of her siblings so she has that nurturing Mama Beth thing down she'll take crap from no one and when confronted with fight or flight she'll fight every single time like the one time my mom was picking up my sister from kindergarten and some guy tried

to snatch her purse she took notice of him walking towards her with no good intentions and she told my sister to hold on to her skirt and when the man made his move she just pressed her thumbs into the Man's eyes and scratched him wherever she could reach she's gotten mellow later in life but for me she's still the epitome of love and strength this is the story of how I almost lost my mom to road rage I was 10 it was a Sunday and I had gone to the swimming pool with my friends my

Dad was supposed to pick me up up at 5: but by 7:00 I was fuming angry and decided to walk home as it was probably a 20-minute walk I got home and was mad and my sisters was scolding me because it was dark and dangerous for a 10-year-old to be walking home on his own and my dad had gone to picked me up 5 minutes ago but I didn't care I was pissed and just walked into my parents' room to give my mom a piece of my mind when I found her sobbing and in distress

I asked her what was going on and she was angry at my my dad and didn't want to talk to him again my anger faded and curiosity stried instead so I asked her turns out around 4:30 when my dad was going to pick me up he was coming back from his farm and subdued cut off my dad who unfortunately had some road rage honked his horn pulled down the window at my mom's side and yelled a branch of obscenities the dude in the other car lowered his window pulled out a gun and began shooting at

my dad's car dad hit the brakes and let the other car pull further away they stopped and got out the car to catch their breath and that's where my Mom saw a hole in the space between the passenger's front door and the passenger's back door a bullet nearly missed my mom's head and she was hysterical they got home and mom broke down and cried Dad had to calm her down that's why they were late to collect me it's probably not as scary as other stories but it's been 20 years since that day and every once

in a while I'll think to myself if there had been a few centimet in difference my mom could be dead and the what if is what scares me every time I used to live in an old house in rural Wyoming my mom and I had a couple of shows we would watch together every week we were sitting on the couch that faced the wall with the TV on it to the right were a couple of Windows and a couch that was empty simultaneously we both jerked our heads to look at the window the drapes that

covered the window had been stuck on the couch and in one swift motion they were pulled back to straight and almost took the whole rod down we were both very uninterested in ghosts and far from Believers but after years we still try and come up with a rational explanation other than paranormal and have yet to be successful in our endeavor I served in the Oregon Eugene mission in the US from October 2015 to October 2017 my first area was on the coast in Bandon a town where some Native Americans massacred some settlers not to mention

the town burning down my mission companion Jake and I lived in a home that the church rent for us that was right next to the dogs in our study room we had a sliding glass door that led to the backyard on that same outside wall was the window that led to the garage in the garage below that window was our washer and dryer if you were in either the study with the sliding door or in the garage alone at night you would hear someone knock two or three times quite fast but when you would go

to check no one would be there many times one of us would be reading my scriptures and planning some lesson details while the other was in the bathroom or kitchen the tapping would happen and the person who wasn't in the room would come in and ask if it was what we dubbed the glass Tapper when I got my new companion Mike about six weeks into my mission I started hearing some weird things in the abandoned house other than the glass Tapper we would come home to hear someone running around our apartment and often times see

our fridge shake for no reason as if one peg were too short one day I had it and looked at the fridge and yelled stop it which actually seemed to work my original companion Jake in this same house him Bandon and I were laying down in my bed at night my missionary companion was in his bed on the opposite wall of the room my back was to him and we were just talking about what we did before our mission girls and whatnot my companion got up to use the bathroom and once he shut the door

I heard someone crawl into his bed as if they pulled the cover over themselves I knew it wasn't him because I could hear him keeing I didn't turn over to look and see because I was shocked and yes I told him after he crawled into bed again because I didn't know how to bring it up about 6 months into my mission I was in Roseberg Oregon I started to have dreams I wouldn't exactly call them nightmares like of demons like the supernatural ones with black eyes but they had Smiles like the cartoon Grinch that were

really long and curly they would tell me I was no good and going to hell and would put my arm to the square and cast them away but they never laugh they usually just shut up and stared at me I started to wear my mission tag that's commonly associated with Mormon missionaries to bed and that completely solved the dream problem but sometimes I would just be laying there and feel the end of my bed Shake not violently but enough to wake me up and just to let me know they were still there it still happens

sometimes no nightmares but the shaking still happens I don't know how to tell that part to my wife in Roseberg Oregon my companions and I were teaching a family once they eventually told us that their baby girls who were two on one would wake up in the night and point to a particular corner of the room as they screamed they also had an old railroad lantern that got so hot the glass shattered they asked us to perform an exorcism on the home we told them that we would bless the house and they asked me to

act as a voice for it as I was praying I felt as if there was someone standing so close to me that the face was only an inch away you know the feeling when someone is getting close to your face when your eyes are closed how can you sense it it was like that but hot like an oven these are my experiences and I don't know how to explain them away in the first year we moved to our new house an nannie said that someone was copying my older sister she said that she saw my

older sister sitting by her bed but that my sister was still in school so it was a bit kind of creepy here's my experience though I saw my younger sister walk into our parents' room and I assumed that she was going in there to use their bathroom and me being the funny one in the family decided that I would scare her so I walked stealthily and got inside the bathroom then screamed so that she would be frightened but no one was there the second time that I saw my younger sister's doppelganger was when I was

on my phone minding my own business when all of a sudden in the corner of my eye I saw the head of my younger sister pop out behind my bedroom door to see what I was doing of course I ignored her thinking that she was just being silly but she did it again her head popped out behind the door and I got annoyed so I chased after her and thought that she went to my parents room but of course no one was there she had been downstairs the whole time and I would have heard her

go down the stairs when I was 6 years old we lived in the center of the set of three very similar houses I remember ours was purple the one to the left was blue and the one to the right was yellow I recently had bought one of those big inflatable bouncy balls from Walmart and had no one to play with me so I played with it in the backyard by myself after school one day I accidentally hit the purple ball to the yellow house side of the fence I was going to ask my mom what

to do but a kid on the other side hid it back over to me thinking we could play I hid it back over and when he returned it it became a daily thing and I would just hit the ball back and forth with him until I got bored after school the kid wouldn't respond to any questions I had so I assumed he was just shy at one point I HD it over and he didn't return it so I asked my mom if I could climb the fence and go get it she was never outside with

me so she always thought I was playing alone I guess we only got the house because my mom was friends with the landlord and the houses were Rec ly built she told me that no one had ever lived there and that they were trying to sell it we moved lot long after but I still have no idea who was returning that ball to me I was in student housing at the time I had a double room to myself in a shared apartment being wey of people coming into into my room I had set up a

PS3 camera as a motion activated security cam that recorded to my PC when it detected movement I get home one night after school and see that it had been triggered so I scouted the room checked cabinets bathrooms closets Etc the closet door itself was difficult to open and close because it had dropped and so you had to lift it to move it so I forced it back closed I sit and watched the video to see the camera was triggered by the closet door opening by itself I stayed at my then girlfriend's room for about a

week after that my mom was dating my dad at the time I was around 10 he lived with his parents since his dad was sick and since it wasn't really that far from our house we thought we'd go visit him there we had dinner and stayed for a while he gave us gifts he gave me a cow plushy which I still have to this day and everything goes well and it gets late around 11:00 p.m. and we decide to leave it's literally pitch black also I may remind you that it's probably mid December there's no

snow falling at the moment so it's icy and you couldn't see your hands in front of your face so like any normal human beings would my mom puts her high beams on something I forgot to add to this is that she would usually shut them off when she get close to the other cars and it's not like she was blinding them she only had them on when and she was very far away you'll understand why I said this in a minute we get behind this black car in which the driver is acting like a jerk

and won't drive normally they're speeding up to almost 70 and then slowing down to an almost stop and my mom can't turn because the road we're on is rural and there's nothing but cow fields on either side there was nowhere to go so we ended up behind him with an extremely aggravated driver behind us it's a bit harder to see again so my mom M puts on her high beams a fair distance away from the car in front because you wouldn't do that if you weren't far away but of course the driver in front of

us stops completely and then this huge Burly bigger built man starts sprinting over to our car at top speed I start screaming and crying and can see that he's holding a blunt object in his hand my mom recoils as she fears the worst as she looks around trying to figure out how she could Escape there's a car coming from the other way so she can't turn around his car is in front of us so she can't hit the gas there's only fenced off fields around us and he pounds on the window like the FBI and

starts screaming and swearing he starts threatening us saying that he'd kill my mom if he ever caught her with our high booms on again of course I'm screaming and crying I'm being a small skinny 10-year-old girl not knowing if me and my mom were about to get killed and also knowing full well if she did I wouldn't know what to do or how to get home and I didn't have my dad's phone number memorized at the time and I didn't exactly remember how to work my mom's phone so I didn't even know how to call

my dad to begin with the man's body language was just off I'm not sure if he was drunk or hi but it seemed that way and he looked at me for a second which scared me and my mom rightfully my mom is also a very small lady and our car wasn't very fast so she wasn't sure what to do because neither fight or fly it would work at this point the blunt object in his hand turned out to be a huge flashlight which he began to repeatedly hit the window with he also started flashing the

light in my mom's face to Blind her ironic my mom yelled at him to get lost as he hit the window harder about to break it thankfully the car behind us started to lay on the horn and he got back into his car out of fear and sped off my mom called out to my dad who drove around almost all all night to look for the guy but didn't find anything I can't remember if we called the cops or not I just remember crying into my pillow all night long a little backstory I was around

11 years old when my grandmother passed away my parents both worked early in the morning and she was the one who usually put my brother and I on the bus we lived in the country and so the bus came to our houses I don't know why my brother wasn't home with me this particular morning but I was getting on the bus myself anyway I had gotten up and dressed and everything by myself with no problems and nothing weird we lived in a two-story Farmhouse that was over a century old and creaking sounds in the house

were nothing out of the ordinary but when I went downstairs it felt different I heard what sounded like heavy footsteps walking up and down the hallway stairs I was trying trying to watch for the bus and figure out who else was home when suddenly the footsteps started at the far end of the house and ran down the hall all the way to the stairwell where a male voice called my name it was familiar but not anyone in my family so I went to the foot of the stairs and walked about halfway up and turned to

look at the top of the stairs afraid of what I would see and there was no one there but the sound of footsteps running back up the hall and the feeling that that someone had just been standing there was enough for me to run outside and wait for the bus out there I have plenty of other stories growing up in a mildly haunted house but this was the only time that it ever spoke to me the grandmother I referenced previously got a kitten when I was young probably five or so she was white with bright

blue eyes and a black spot at the base of her tail they called her princess and I loved her after both my grandparents had passed away as my grandpa passed less than 2 years after my grandma we took care of her we didn't move her out of their house because we were going to move in and we were working on going through what was left in the house beforehand it didn't make sense to move her if we were still going to be there every day fast forward to moving day the night before my first day

of school in seventh grade my parents brother and I all grabbed our pillows and blankets and went down the road to our new house to officially move in I was the first one through the door and was uncomfortably greeted by the sight of Princess laying dead on the floor it appeared that she had a heart attack mid stride and she landed perfectly on a small decorative pillow that according to my mom hadn't been there when she had been in the house earlier that afternoon I was traumatized I hadn't fully grieved for my grandparents and now

their cat who I saw as a physical connection to them was gone too it was rough fast forward several years and I'm 16 now my family didn't get another cat my dad didn't like them and we had four dogs at the time I'm laying in bed one night trying to fall asleep and I feel the daintiest footsteps on my bed you must understand that I've slept with my bedroom door closed for my entire life and the footsteps were too light to be any of dogs but they started by my feet and walked up next to

my legs and finally I felt what seemed to be a cat curled up and laying down right at my stomach I didn't want to move because I didn't know what was going on but after a while the weight seemed to just Lift Away I didn't feel movement it just got lighter and when I looked down nothing was there but I know that it was Princess coming to cuddle for a little while that is the one and only time I've experienced anything like that and I've never heard of anyone else having a similar experience I'm 30

years old now but want to share with you a true story that my dad told me when I was around 10 and has stuck with me till this day I am originally from Romania I want you to know where I'm from because a lot of you probably haven't have heard of it or if you do know it from Dracula one thing you need to know in order to understand the impact that the story had on me was that we are a country where the majority have a strong belief in God and evil angels and demons

my dad is well something similar to a Catholic he sings in church he's not a priest back home we have a priest and a singer that that's called the dascal and they do every church together like the Sunday prairies the baptisms the wedding and stuff anyway One Summer Night they went to do the ceremony for someone who'd passed away they were all there singing when all of a sudden it started to get really cold inside the room they could even see their breath forming in front of them despite the fact it was the middle of

summer my father and the priest look at each other and they didn't know what to do they didn't want to say anything to the family because they didn't want to scare them so they continued a few minutes later my dad started to lose his voice he was opening his mouth trying to sing but the words didn't come out and all of a sudden they heard a big bang just over their heads in the attic and the ceiling started to get red and a fluid began dripping that was something they couldn't ignore they went to see

what happened and when they hit the attic they saw a big glass Barrel that was full with red wine had exploded out the blue they went downstairs finished the ceremony and then went home on his way home my dad had to walk by the cemetery he had done that for many years it was a normal thing for him to do not remotely frightening but after what had happened that night he felt something was wrong it was was about 11: and just him on the road after he passed the cemetery and then suddenly he couldn't shake

the feeling like something was following him he was kind of shocked after what happened and too scared to turn around the feeling engulfed him it was as if it were getting closer feeling its breath on his neck and his hair stood on end all of his senses told him not to turn around which he did and he just just went home in a straight line when he got home my mom was waiting for him on the porch he entered the front garden locked the gate behind him and when he reached my mother she asked him

who's the man behind you she said there was a tall man behind him the next morning when they wake up they found the front gates open my dad always said to me that the devil always tries to scare you and get the ones with a strong belief in God if they don't try and scare you it's because they don't need to because you've already turned away from him according to my dad this happened a few months ago I'm a 23-year-old female and I finally bought a car for myself I love driving around and listening to

music alone or with my siblings this very night it was around 7:00 p.m. winter time and I took my two siblings 18-year-old female and 13-year-old male out for a drive after their consistent pleading because they were bored now I'm a smoker and coming from a South Asian household women aren't meant to smoke so I took the opportunity to smoke without worrying that my parents could catch me the city I live in has a good side and a bad side and I lived in the very good side or so I thought quiet suburban area I didn't

hesitate to park somewhere get out and smoke for a while while leaning against my car as I don't like smoking in my own car and scrolling away on my phone I parked underneath a lamp post and got out and lit my Sig and all was well it was dark but I wasn't scared as I visited that road regularly and it wasn't too far from my aunt's house as I lit up I looked up from my phone and looked around to see a man walk out of the Shadows from a bush I didn't think anything of

it I see people going for walks all the time around here he was at least 6'4 was on the opposite sidewalk and I assumed he was just going to carry on walking so I carried on looking at my phone until I look up to see him just standing there fully facing me and watching me my sister in the car must have been watching him too and knocked on the window telling me to come in I had already buttered out my cigarette and was making my way to my car door keys in hand and the guy

was still standing there completely still I got in anyway locked my door and breathed a sigh of relief thinking perhaps I was just overreacting I put my key in the ignition and I turned to see where the guy was and I see that he's now behind my car taking pictures of my car and my registration number I rolled my window down the tiniest spit and I could see his face a little clearer he was of Indian descent with a beard and hoodie over his head showing some features on his face I asked politely what he

was doing and he came towards my window but stood a bit of a gap away in the most aggressive tone he said do you know who I am no I didn't know whether it was rhetorical or not I have a lot of stuff going on in my house and I don't need you here parking here watching me you look real suspicious randomly parking here with your friends get the hell out of there what the hell do you think you're doing I nervously chuckled to myself trying to keep calm but my anxiety was already halfway through

the roof at this point I didn't understand how I looked in any way threatening as I'm a small girl who's been told I look like a kid I was in my pajamas and clearly minding my own business look I just parked here to smoke I come here all the time and live nearby he got right up to my window slid his fingers through the Gap and forced my window all the way down screaming at the top of his lungs for me to get the hell out of here I screamed in Terror and told him to

stop swearing as I had a minor in the car and he was scaring him I don't know why I knew he wouldn't exactly care he screamed and went red if you don't get out of here now I'll damage you in your car my adrenaline was already hitting Peak so I was terrified didn't even bother putting my seat Bel on and jolted out of there in a panic I went straight ahead at a junction leading me to a dead end but I took that opportunity to just calm down my whole body was shaking with adrenaline I

couldn't even keep my foot on the clutch my sister was quickly asking me if I was okay before I could even answer I see a pair of headlight zooming towards me it was the guy going at least 50 mph on a 20 m Crow Road he nearly crashed into my car but by some miracle he didn't he jumped out the car and this is when I realized my window was still all the way down from when he forced it down I wanted to cry and I quickly tried to shut my window that he was too

fast he half threw his body into my car through my window and I screamed so loudly with his ear right next to my face I'm sure I deafened him he was trying to steal my car keys from the I thanked my lucky stars that with my car in order to get the car keys out I would have had to have had my foot on the clutch which I didn't with one hand I was pressing down on the Horn of my car to make as much noise as possible to alert the people in their houses and

with the other scratched his hands away from my car keys and my poor siblings were in the car boiling their eyes out my little brother had no idea what he could do to protect me and my sister was in the passenger seat experiencing all all of this in front of her eyes I Hur the guy enough for him to get out of my damn car I told you to get out of here or I'll hurt you I told you the guy attempted to pull up my door handle trying to open it and get in and

then I noped out of there I didn't care that my body was half shaking like a fish out of water my main priority was now the safety of my siblings and myself I knew that we were making a loud commotion I held on to the Horn of my car trying to get the attention from other houses but nobody helped it was 700 p.m. and I was certain that people would hear me screaming but they all acted oblivious I managed to wriggle my way out of that dead end and went to a new Street and to

a totally different area and parked I knew this probably wasn't a good idea but I knew the guy wasn't following me as I drove around for a good 10 minutes I just released my emotions and me and my sister and little brother were just sitting there in the class away this was the first time that anything like that had ever happened to me or any of us I rang the police and immediately wanted to punch myself in the face when the dispatcher asked if I got his registration of course in my panic I didn't I

wanted to slap myself in the face because I listened to these horror stories on YouTube all the time and always felt they taught me how to handle certain situations and I couldn't even bloody get a registration number the dispatcher was amazingly empathetic as was the female officer who called me the next day as a woman she understood how scary that must have been for me and again I cried to her unfortunately the cops informed me there were no CCTV cameras where it happened so they couldn't really do much especially with me not knowing where he

came from if he came from a house and if so which one or his registration number the female officer apologized to me but it really was my fault for not mentally noting important information they made a report of my attack so if anything similar happened in the area they can connect them the officer said I most likely parked there and he was doing something illegal and freaked out on me I just think he was a freak who enjoyed scaring people who looked like easy prey so to the creep who tried to steal my car let's

not meet again aoup of buddies and I were driving to hockey practice one morning and this lady in all white started crossing the street as we were getting to the green light initially I was angry she got halfway right as we were getting to the light resulting in me slamming on my brakes and literally right after I slammed on my brakes a truck ran the red light we would have T-boned and probably been killed if we hadn't have stopped friends asked how the heck I knew to stop and why I stopped stopped when I told

them about because of the lady they were just like what lady we never saw a lady in the crosswalk I'm pretty sure a ghost saved all our lives my dad passed away when I was finishing undergrad my baby brother was in junior year of high school and I was the executive of his estate he didn't have a will and brother was obviously a minor so it made things difficult so one night I go to this old bookstore called V that he loved to get a quote for his Stephen King collection while they're going through everything

I walk around there's a basement chalk full of books and I walk down there and there's no one else around it must have been about 8:30 or so and when I enter a book falls off the shelf immediately I feel a presence but also this invisible sort of trail that I'm I'm trying to follow so I walk through the rows thinking and thinking and just follow this Trail until it leads to the Sci-Fi section here I get an overwhelming reassurance that my dad is in front of me so I'm standing there and say to myself

okay I'm open receptive let me hear forget the house it blows me away I've not even thought about the house of his that my brothers and I are trying to get Baby Bro through school and so I have this little back and forth with myself about how I'm not going to quit and fight yada yada so I walk along and go to where the book fell where I first entered the basement and I pick it up it's a book titled teaching your children to live without you that was it it sent chills down my spine

I go upstairs grab his books say thank you and leave leave when I get home I open the mailbox and there's a letter from the bank demanding the full outstanding Mortgage in 30 days the sheriff came after the 30 days had elapsed and kicked my 17-year-old brother out called him a low down piece of crap and then they sold it and made 130k and it took me 3 years of being my own lawyer to sue the city to claim the estate equity in the property I was sleeping in my sister's bed when I was 10

and right next to the bed hanging up on the wall was a cork board where she tacked all of her pictures it was around 2:00 a.m. when I woke up to a noise and several pictures falling off the cork board it was weird and I was kind of spooked but I didn't think anything of it a few minutes later I was trying to fall asleep when every single picture started flying off the cork board like a tornado was in the room I don't think I've ever jumped out of bed so fast and ran into my

room I never found out the cause of it what made the pictures fly off but it always weirded me out thinking about it because they were attacked to the board hard ghosts do you think I had an apartment in grad school that was set up in a way that you walk into the living room from the main door and there's a door to the dining room and kitchen and then a hallway to the bedroom and bathroom in the back only the person sitting in the chair by that door from the living room to the kitchen

could see into the rest of the apartment so one afternoon I had a friend from workover and she brought her friend Hannah with her my friend and I were on the couch and Hannah was in the chair that could see into the rest of of the apartment we had a good visit with nothing remarkable to note a few days later I saw my friend at work she had a weird look on her face and she walked up and said Hannah said the weirdest thing when we left your apartment the other day she said sami's roommate

must be horrible apparently she saw a young woman walk out the bedroom and into the kitchen get a glass from the cupboard fill it with water then take a drink rinse it dry it and put it away while glaring at Hannah the entire time then she walked back into the bedroom this is weird because I lived alone a few months later my best friend and I were watching a movie in the living room and I decided to go to bed a little earlier than her when I left her she was laying on the couch with

my dog about 5 minutes later I heard my dog growling ferociously for a few minutes it didn't seem out of the ordinary because my dog had a habit of growling at people that walked on the sidewalk in front of my house house several more months go by and I had since moved into a new home the first time my best friend visited me she said thank God you're not in that apartment so I can tell you what I saw that night she stayed at my house and heard the dog barking she experienced something she went

on to tell me that she was on the couch with the dog and then out of nowhere she jumped off the chair and went to the opposite side of the living room and started growling in her direction or all of a sudden she saw this guy in jeans and a white tea sitting on the floor with his back leaned up against the couch she was on he was watching the TV and then he turned around to look at her when she jumped then turned back to watching the TV she stared for a few seconds and

then he vanished from the inside out like how an old television shuts off then the dog jumped back onto to the couch with her and the night continued without incident I never experienced anything weird or had any sort of strange feeling there but I was pretty shut off to that sort of stuff at that point in my life anyway I'm a 20-year-old female and I was on my way home from work 9 months ago just cruising by passing in the left lane like you're supposed to there was this white ick just chilling in the left

lane and I get a little close to his butt cuz you know he's going slow in the fast lane and then this man starts break checking me multiple times then a red light comes up and he gets over to the right lane and rolls his window down it was a nice day and I had mine down too he's glaring at me and I'm like what you ride in the right and pass in the left and he goes I was in the right you stupid idiot apparently this middle-aged man didn't know his left from right and

after a second of arguing the man pulls out into the middle of the intersection and makes a U-turn and is facing the grassy median and facing me with his camera pointed at me still hollering the lights turn green and I take off to get away from him he turns around and follows I go and get onto two different highways going about 90 safely avoiding people and then I go back to the suburb cuz now that he's following me I'm about to start leading him back to work because I wasn't going to lead him to my

house and my boyfriend was at work so knew I had people there to protect me the light I wanted to turn right at was busy so I cut through a gas station and turn right barely stopping still being cautious of the others around me and this man still follows and my attempts to get away from him at this point I'm fed up with him and want him to follow me back to work so I can kick his ass I get back to the road we were on and got into the left lane and the light

was red instead of following me he stays in the straight Lane with his phone out at the window window pointing at my car at that point he stopped following me must have been too far out his way but the two highways and turnarounds w't I hope he calls the cops as my car is registered to a retired cop and then on top of it I know for a fact that the red light he ran at the beginning has light cameras so I hope he got popped for that and has to pay the fine I believe

he did all of this because I drove a 2012 Ford Mustang and people around here just don't like muscle car owners for some reason I used to live in a flat with my two boys and the smallest bedroom was my youngest son's he used to tell me he had bad witch dreams and to be honest none of us really felt comfortable in that room on this one night my boys were around 600 and 4 and I was settling them both down in the eldest's room for the night my mom and friend were also in the

flat in the kitchen which was over the other side of the flat I heard a bang in the hallway outside the room and my dog yelped I thought she'd walked into something so I didn't go out straight away when I did go I got to the hallway just as my mom and friend came in my youngest had an old heavy chest of drawers in his room along the door wall about halfway down the room maybe 6 ft from the doorway on the hallway floor was the bottom drawer I assumed it had hit or surprised my

dog which is why she yelped we looked to my youngest's room door and there directly across the doorway was the chest of drawers like something had been used to barricade the door so no one could enter we all looked at each other and were each just as freaked out as the other my mom and Friends swear they hadn't moved them and they were both together the whole time and my boys were with me me my mom still to this day says how there was no possible explanation for what happened and I still get goosebumps whenever

I think about it one night I woke up to something settling over my face initially I thought it was my bed covers but then I realized it all felt wrong and reached up and grabbed the cloth and threw it I reached over to turn on my bedside light and froze because of what I saw all of my clothes which previously had been folded neatly in a basket were now stacked to top of me neck to toe the piece of cloth that was setting over my face was a pair of my son's shorts so of course

I froze and listened for whoever was in my home I stayed that way for about 10 minutes hearing nothing so I got up and started to search the house the only person that lived with me was my 8-year-old son and I found him fast asleep in his top bunk I know he didn't stack those clothes because the bunk he was in was metal and very squeaky and he would have definitely made noise getting in or out he's a pretty serious kid and I've never known him to play tricks in any case I felt that last

piece go over my face so I know he wasn't there for that I searched the entire house and no one was there but us I believe it was Poltergeist activity apparently stacking is typ of what Poltergeist do I also found a random puddle of water once in the middle of the living room when no one had been home there was no place the water could have come from either very strange stuff my friend is a military man and his family owns a house in a rural area in the Philippines NOA to be exact I believe

it was some sort of family inheritance an the area around the house had been subject to treasure hunters in search for the infamous and often disputed yamashita's gold they decided to put a stop to the digging by going there for themselves to address the issue and also have a vacation at the same time their whole family went from his dad who was also from the military to his mom and his two sisters when they got there their neighbors advised them to make sure they get inside their house by 5:00 p.m. without offering any explanation they

found that piece of advice quite odd but they did so anyway in case it had something to do with the local Wildlife they stayed in their respective rooms that night but didn't get much rest because of the strange things that they saw my friend was getting ready for bed when he noticed that outside the window across the field near the neighbor's property there was a big doglike creature he went to the window to get a better look and he saw this Beast that was besides the neighbors Volkswagen Beetle what took him back was that this

dog was as big as the car then something else caught his eye a large head sticking out above a line of coconut trees being illuminated by the Moonlight staring right at him possibly a capri he quickly closed the window and decided to stay in bed not knowing if he was seeing things or not that same night his sisters had been hanging out in the dining area when they saw a curtain floating around at first they thought it was just the wind blowing it around so they ignored it but shortly after realized there was no wind

with all the windows closed and not a breeze in sight they freaked out ran to their rooms and hid under their sheets for the rest of the night his parents weren't spared from the freak Show at all in their room there was an antique closet with nothing in it at random times during the night it would swing open making quite some noise and after a while would just slam shut on its own they were sleepy and tired from the day so they just let it be thinking it must have been the wind the next morning

they recounted their experience and decided that for the next night they'll all stay in the living room together figuring that they'll be safer that way they wanted to stay since it was a long trip going to their rural house and it felt like a waste if they didn't maximize the visit that night as planned they slept in the living room my friend's Slumber was interrupted by the sound of heavy breathing and hot air blowing in his face my friend opened his eyes and his heart skipped beat after seeing an enormous black mass with red eyes

floating above and staring straight back at him he immediately closed his eyes and tried to grab his gun but it was just Out Of Reach he tried to nudge his dad awake who was also beside him but to no avail he finally decided to whisper to him ha there's something on top of us his father then repli replied in a very annoyed yet freaked out tone I know just shut your eyes and go to sleep they immediately left at the first sign of light their week-long vacation reduced to Just 2 days also it just so

happened that their house was right next to a cemetery my friend is a very straightforward guy so coming from him I tend to believe this story The only things he wonders about is not being able to attempt a shot at the floating black thing but he says he didn't want to repeat that again I just asked him to refresh his memory about the story and his hairs were at their end Goosebumps everywhere I was doing a paranormal investigation in the old jail in St Augustine this place is known to be the most taunted place in

the entire city as back in the day the only people who got jailed there were rapists and murderers a lot of them even had to build their own Gallows and get hung from it there was a total of nine hangings there so during this investigation we were given all the equipment we needed recorder for EVPs dowsing rods Etc and I had a bunch of events happen to me that night I was always one to be obsessed with the Paranormal and respected it fully so I've always had this connection I felt our group were sitting at

this long table in between all the cells and we were asking the spirits questions I remembered the lead investigator asked who do you want to talk to at this table no exaggeration every single one of the rods every person was holding all pointed to me at the exact same time it blew my mind and I got pretty excited rather than scared next thing is I went into the Sheriff's Office inside the jail him and his daughter Liv there and I asked the sheriff if he was still in the room with me and to point my

dowsing Rod to where he was located at this point I was sitting in his office chair and there was a guy watching cameras and saw an orb fly to the left of me after I asked that then all of a sudden the rods both turned directly to my left I also ended up having a conversation with his daughter in the room I was completely by myself sitting on the floor of her room asking her questions like yes or no do you like my company do you want me to stay here and play with your toys

and every single question I asked her she answered back with the dowsing rots cross them for yes turn them away for no and sure enough they' either Cross or move away with no Breeze no movement or anything it was one of the strangest and coolest moments of my life I was 11 our house was built in the year 1900 the second floor from left to right coming up the stairs goes like this brother's bedroom bathroom my bedroom my sisters it was around 2: or 3:00 a.m. I don't know why I woke up we didn't have

the best doors they weren't solid wood they were Hollow crappy thinwood probably MDF I heard a really light knock on my door two of them I thought perhaps someone was going to come and tell me to turn my TV off or something 10 seconds later two more knocks a little louder then I heard it on my sister's room door and then just barely on my Brothers as well all within 10 seconds this happened another three times each getting louder and I'm freaking the hell out at this point it happens one more time sister's room to

my left brother's room across from mine bathroom to my right and then it pauses for about 30 seconds I thought it over but I'm still freaking out then on my door I hear Boom and my door shook all throughout this I heard no footsteps no voices nothing I stayed awake staring at my door until sunrise I was scared out of my mind and wanted to make sure I wasn't dreaming to this day is to have no idea what exactly happened I once visited my dad for the summer when I was around 13 he was house

to house at the time and this time he was renting this older house I felt uncomfortable in there but I thought I was just being paranoid annoyed I've always been a night ow and struggled with insomnia and one night around 2: to 3:00 a.m. I'm sitting up watching South Park on my laptop great choice my door is open and I can't stop glancing into the kitchen and the dim ofen light when all of a sudden I hear the most uncomfortable blood curdling scream I've ever heard it was a woman screaming and it was loud at

this point I'm crapping myself but my dad was always like be your man man up type guy so I shut my door and don't sleep till daylight I never say anything to him and about a year later I'm going to visit him again and I say remember that house you lived in on such and such street I had ghost screams there he turns white as a ghost He says every day he would shower pee then go to work being a single man the toilet seats were never put down but every day without fail he got

home and the damn toilet seat was down down it never went down while he was home he went as far as pulling over opening up his camera roll and showing me the timestamped pictures of his toilet seat up at 7:00 a.m. and down at 4:00 p.m. as he got home he said the rooms he kept his firearms in would constantly be shut somehow and remained extremely cool for Texas in the middle of summer
