Scary Stories For A Sleepless, Stormy, And Chilling Night

this happened when my close family this happened when my close family visited the house of my grandmother's sister the house was famous for its Eerie stories like how at midnight music would always start playing out of nowhere continuing until somebody physically went upstairs to turn it off I didn't want to go but staying home alone wasn't an option either so with a knot in my stomach I decided to head on over the first two nights were pretty uneventful to be honest but the house itself was suffocatingly creepy no matter where I went it always felt

like somebody's eyes were fixed on me I chalked it up to nerves convincing myself that I was overthinking but on the last night something did happen that I will never forget I decided to sleep early to catch the morning ferry that night I was sharing a room with two of my uncles and an aunt while my parents and my grandmother slept in a separate room it was already pretty cramped and with their loud snoring sleep seemed impossible by 11:00 p.m. I was still wide awake my mom's cousin who had gone to a party earlier that

evening was supposed to return around midnight I texted her asking her to bring some food but she didn't reply still though I stayed up hoping that she would show up soon enough with some food I must have drifted off because I suddenly woke up to the sound of footsteps in the hallway they were slow deliberate and grew louder as they approached the room the door creaked open my heart pounded in the silence as a figure stood in the doorway unmoving in the faint Moonlight spilling through the window I could just make out a dark silhouette

I froze clutching my blanket until the figure finally stepped inside and walked toward me it was my mom's cousin or at least I thought it was she was wearing a dark night gown her long hair cascading over her shoulders without a word she slipped into the small space beside me and I whispered why are you sleeping here it's already so cramped she didn't respond the weight of her body pressed into the bed and I could feel the cool strands of her hair brushing against my arm something about her silence though just made my skin crawl

but I convinced myself that she was just tired or maybe drunk from the party or whatever I scooted over carefully not wanting to accidentally bump her face since she just gotten a nose job the room felt impossibly still As I Lay There Eyes Wide Open listening to the rhythmic breathing of my relatives around me and somehow I eventually fell asleep now the next morning I woke up to my mom shaking me breakfast is ready get up we need to pack at the dining table I saw my mom's cousin and couldn't resist teasing her hey uh

next time if you're going to cram into our room at least bring some food yeah do you know how hungry I was last night she frowned looked genuinely confused what are you talking about I blacked out at the party and didn't even get home until this morning I stared at her trying to process her words stop messing with me you were literally in our room you slept beside me her face ped I wasn't here I promise you she said her voice low a cold dread spread through me suddenly I turned to the rest of the

family desperate for answers everyone swore that they'd stayed in their own rooms all night though my uncles and aunt had still been fast asleep when I woke up too feeling nauseous now I went back to the bedroom to pack my things the bed looked exactly as we'd left it except for one thing on the pillow where she had slept was a strand of long black hair nobody else in that house had long hair or black hair and to this day I still have no idea who or what slept beside me that night before I tell

my story you guys are going to need some context now when I was young my family were heavily Christian making me spend my Sundays at service and Wednesdays at youth group I am not religious now but those years definitely instilled an awareness of the paranatural in me now as I grew up I became more independent and rebellious leading me to seek out forms of psychedelic spiritual enlightenment it just so happened too that I deemed that a priority over having a place to stay as a young adult hooligan living in a small farm town in the

middle of wellam Valley there weren't a lot of opportunities for kids my age you either partook in substances worked in the wine industry or got involved in numerous Cults around it was about 10: p.m. and as my friend and I were just buming some smokes from patrons behind the local bar there were about five people my friend and I excluded we were all the tad bit tipsy I guess sharing tales and shooting the breeze when a man walked out that I had never seen before he was about 5 1/2 ft tall with odd proportions Dawning

a Burly mustache that really just didn't fit his face he wore a cowboy hat two sizes too big a leather jacket over a plain white tank top leather pants and boots to finish off his outfit he kind of just stood there too trying to be a part of the group yet excluded through some sort of metaphysical divide that I just couldn't put my finger on after about 10 minutes of loitering he started talking he mentioned that it was his birthday and referred to himself as the birthday boy on and on he would only talk about

how it was his birthday that he needed a cigarette because it was his birthday that someone should buy him a drink for his birthday I'm pretty sure that it was his birthday after all well 30 minutes passed and the patron slowly started filtering out until it was just the birthday boy way my friend and I he asked us if we knew where any abandoned buildings were and if we could take him to one and I was already unnerved by this guy but at this point my entire being was screaming at me to get away from

him like a switch had flipped and I could feel some sort of evil intention just radiating from him I gave some sort of a vague description of a non-existent building and I told him goodbye he asked me if I could take him there and celebrate his birthday with him and that he had some gifts for us I told him Noah as I needed to make it to a friend's house to go and sleep and he told me and I quote I'll See You Again Noah and gave a huge inhuman grin he then proceeded to Sprint

backwards for about 30 ft yes backwards spin around and run in the direction that I gave him I looked at my friend friend and we both started running in the opposite direction cutting through the side streets and jumping a couple of fences we ended up making it to my friend's house and making it inside about 20 minutes pass and we're chilling inside and smoking and I hear someone singing happy birthday to you outside I peig out the window and as you can probably guess it's the birthday boy I still don't know how he found us

but he paced up and down that street for an hour or two until he gave up and sprinted away I never did see the birthday boy again in town but I will never forget that parting sound the clicking and the clacking of the sound of cowboy boots furiously smacking the pavement I don't know what the heck he was but I am almost certain that he was not human so my dad once told me that coming home from grocery shopping with my Grandma at the time left him with an eerie feeling one day he was around

16 to 17 at the time and was walking home with my grandma after groceries mind you the store that they went to was down the street and had been around until last year until it burned down so it was like a 3 to 5 minute walk home once they got home they noticed that the front door was open my grandma got scared by that and decided to tell the neighbor to come and inspect the inside of the home for any stolen items or anybody in there obviously the neighbor's boyfriend and my dad they went inside

and nothing was stolen but the fridge was wide open though with food on the table the TV was not stolen but tampered with as the wires were all sort of unplugged my dad continued to check all the rooms before getting to his and when entering he noticed no changes except for his bed stating that he saw four figures made out of tinf foil placed on his bed considering that he was around an older teen this made him feel really unsettled his youngest sibling was 15 and was not known to enjoy toys of such and his

other siblings the oldest around 22 or 23 was already in college I don't know why but my dad never told my grandma of what he found in my room or my neighbor's boyfriend so when they went outside to inform my grandma everything was okay nothing else really happened until well later that night my grandparents house now is divided into two is it's a huge property but at that time it wasn't my grandpa and uncle were now home from school and work my grandma finished cooking dinner and all of them ate together finished and then ordered

my dad to take out the trash my dad followed and grabbed whatever trash needed to be taken out and went outside now the house has a really long car driveway that almost makes as a hallway on the side of my grandparents house to now the second house but again at the time there was no second house so my dad went down that hallway and once he got closer to the back gate he froze what he saw was a man particularly shorter than any average height with pale skin almost albino that's what my dad said anyway

staring at him as he sat on the gate with a huge smile on his face my dad made no attempt to get into contact with the man no one faces in return or words or anything and just sort of watched him he said that he stared and smiled for a good second until w waving at him and jumping off the gate leaving his property my dad doesn't know if this was the man who tampered with the house or some random trying to scare him Etc all he knows is that it scared him half to death

upon seeing him now when I was 8 to 10 I was playing outside of my grandparents house with my cousin who now lived in the back house my grandparents house is elevated and so are all the ones on that street they all have stairs that lead up to the house and I was on the top of the stairs the porch area and my cousin was on the bottom on the front yard we played catch back and forth from these positions sometimes soccer as well is we would use the front house door as a goal line

we often switched who would be on the porch and who was on the floor and all that and I was on the porch when I threw the ball at him and noticed a man in the house across the street staring at me smiling at me my I thought that that was a bit weird but I didn't think much of it as my grandparents knew everyone in the neighborhood so I thought that it must have been a family friend or something I continued playing and didn't tell my cousin but the man just kept staring at me

I started feeling uncomfortable as I felt like he was looking right at me not around me but directly at me what made it worse too was that he was looking at me from the Attic Window of the house I felt sort of disturbed by his smile and just how large he seemed to me I told my cousin to switch and he did he didn't seem to notice the man we switched back and this continued on and so did the man I believe it was for like 3 hours that we played outside and the man smiled

and stared at me for the entire time my brother and all of us really love my grand parents house so much so that we stayed for weeks during the summer or any opportunity that we really got this was the case with my youngest brother as well he decided to sleep over one day and he was fairly young at the time around 5 and still needed my grandmother to put him to bed he wanted to sleep in the living room which was new because when we were younger he always wanted to be in my grandparents room

which left my other brother and I to the couches anyways here and Grandma slept in the living room couch the one closest to the window in the front door the things seemed to be okay as well until he had woken up to nothing though he looked around the room and notice grandma was still asleep next to him so he decided not to wake her up until he looked to the window and saw a man again pale and smiling at him my brother didn't scream or cry he watched him smile at him and said that the

man grabbed the corners of his mouth to stretch out his smile and this made my brother of course frightened which led him to move my grandma until she woke she did and she saw the same thing too I don't know what she did next or what else happened that night only that she told my parents about it and she didn't feel comfortable having a sleep in the living room without my grandpa being there anymore now all of these occurrences did not happen in the same timeline obviously none of us knew each other's own until very

recently in fact meaning that the last occurrence of this my brothers of which happened several years ago just came to light for us and my family still doesn't know that I saw the same man I'm genuinely curious as to any explanations of what this may be or what I should do about it it's a really weird situation I know that and I just don't know what to do about [Music] it so I was 19 and had been with my current fiance and at the time boyfriend for about a year we both work at the same

chemical manufacturing company I was the night shift lead on my team and we had hired this guy his name was Gabe Gabe was somewhere around his late 50s maybe early 60s I had to interact with him as the shift lead and trainer pretty much no matter what and at night there was pretty much no one else besides my fiance's team on the other side of the building and my team present after 2: p.m. which means that I was entirely in charge of my team and everything that had to get done anyway Gabe started talking to

me about his hype and preferences in women I didn't really see how this was relevant to me and made it clear that I didn't really care what his preferences were and except that everyone had their own I didn't want to make a big deal out of a seemingly small Topic at the time but he proceeded to share his ideologies with me as well I remained aloof about the whole subject but it was something along the lines of it's fine if women work temporarily but eventually the goal is to settle down and have children after all

it works better to have someone working to pay the bills and somebody else to manage with all the household work I am quite aware that this is a life that people are comfortable with and I respect it as I also respect other religions even if I don't follow them I don't personally agree that the household requires someone to stay home to manage it all the time nor do I think if someone does that that it has to be a woman but as far as as these conversations went I didn't see any connection between them and

me and mostly just let him prattle what he wanted to get it off his chest as it really wasn't any of my business I am not a traditional woman and I figured if anything I was the opposite of his description anyways he and I did get into a heated argument once about America's economy and how it's better here because everyone can be rich which I tried to explain how it was impossible for everyone to be rich in an economy well the story moves on and my fiance was let go for health reasons and had to

go on an unemployment benefit we only shared one vehicle and I only had my driver's permit at the time so I wasn't comfortable driving alone back home at like 1:00 a.m. I gave my boss 3 weeks notice just to ensure that I could train everyone up to speed so they weren't screwed over in my absence I know and my boss very much appreciated by the way I told the team and that's when Gabe started behaving in a really disagreeable manner in week one I had a hickey on my neck my boss knew and never made

any complaint or fight against it this wasn't overly common or anything it just sometimes happened but considering that we didn't deal with customers he certainly didn't care but Gabe did evidently while I was working he tapped my shoulder and I assumed he had some kind of a question for me so I paused to listen only for him to be addressing my hickey don't you think that's a little bit unprofessional to which I replied that we didn't need to put on a show for anyone and it doesn't hinder my ability to work in any fashion well

what if it bothers people or our boss that you're parading your personal life like that I said that if my boss told me that it was unacceptable I would take the extra effort to ensure that it didn't happen again but considering how nobody had said anything to me before I assume that they just didn't care so neither will I so you don't care if you hurt someone's feelings no I don't really because their feelings about my life are not my concern anything they think about is only their own assumptions of what happens anyway making it

their own imagination now yes I also thought that that last response was a weird one there's no reason my hickey would hurt someone's feelings at work questioning my professionalism is a separate issue entirely but it didn't matter as Gabe walked away then while we were all at lunch Gabe was sitting across from me at the table and I was talking with the person next in line to be in the lead when I noticed Gabe was holding his phone up at a weird angle I didn't want to make any accusations when I couldn't be 100% certain

but my instincts told me that he took a picture of me at work on my last week I had been officially fed up with Gabe and I had trained the girl after me to do everything that I knew as lead and told her that she will be calling all of the shots my last week and I will simply be here for support if she needs it I also informed her privately that I will especially not be conducting any verbal interaction with Gabe and as I no longer needed to and would appreciate if she took charge

on which she agreed unfortunately Gabe took a stand on this ultimately forcing conversation with me in this last week I just don't think I can take orders from a woman she can't be my boss I told him that I had been his boss previously and that the boss above my boss was also a woman he simply refused to accept it I then told him that it didn't matter how he felt because I was leaving and she would be in charge so he could accept that or quit it didn't matter to me I told him then

that I would no longer answer his questions and he would have to go to her from now on fate haded out for me though because on my last day she had an emergency and needed to leave early and with thus already down another person it was just me and Gabe that night much to my displeasure again left with having to direct him around which he clearly had no issue when it was me as we were leaving he stops me on my way out and asks a question that glued all of the pieces together I know

your boyfriend is unemployed now so how would you feel if somebody asked you if you left your boyfriend for someone who could provide for you with a house a car and everything you needed this made me lose it momentarily for two reasons I love my fiance very much and now currently we're going on six years together and secondly I've always worked hard for everything that I have with my own two hands and take major offense to being treated like some desperate Damsel in Distress who would be with someone over the concept of money I'm not

shallow nor am I materialistic like that so I answered pretty honestly and I told him that I'd be extremely offended because that's not the kind of person I am and to assume so would indicate such a lack of knowledge about me and insult my character and then I left ready to never see him again or talk to him again it was clear in the end that from the beginning he was approaching me with romantic intentions and gross as it all was the age Gap disgusted me as well I mean I was 40 years younger than

this man I still had contact with the girl who took my place and she told me after that I had left that he was telling people that me and him were in love and I was going to leave my now fiance for him and he was showing people the picture that he took of me which yeah that confirmed everything 3 months later though he texted me with a hey because as his boss I gave my number to employees to let me know if they couldn't come in I told him to never contact me again and

that I only spoke to him because I was the lead and needed to be in contact with others and there was no reason to speak to each other anymore then I changed my number to ensure that he could never contact me again because this whole thing was going from an infatuation very quickly to stalker Vibes this was back in 20 0 1 I was a single mom 34 years old at the time and my son was 10 I took my son to his Elementary School on my way to work and my schedule allowed for it

and it was a nice start to our days out together I would drop him off and then head to work that was about 10 minutes away I had to cross over a river that ran through the city I've always hated stopping on Bridges at traffic lights and this light seems extra long but but glancing around as I waited I was watching people in their cars the river and that traffic light that seemed to be stuck on red looking in my rearview mirror I noticed a little white-haired old lady driving a little car she was watching

me in my rearview mirror as well and I was curious so I kept looking at her and she threw her head back and laughed or cackled a bit then she looked hard at me in the mirror made a slashing across her neck sign and then made a cradle of her arms rocking it back and forth and then she pointed at me the longer I watched her the more Disturbed I was too she just kept doing this over and over again and laughing if you're a parent then you know this is not something that you prank

other cars about it felt evil but no paranormal stuff here so that's just my take on it and well it had me pretty rattled and once that light turned green I flew up the street to go to work and of course I got more anxious the longer that I was driving by the time that I got to work I was in a full panic and went to my office and called the school my son was in a special class alongside of his regular assigned class and if he got too Restless he could go to his

special class as an accommodation so I was able to speak directly to his teacher immediately and I told her what happened and she said boy that sounds crazy but assured me that my son was okay I've often thought back to that event and I don't know if it was a harbinger of Doom or just an encounter with a really Disturbed crazy person but unfortunately my son died suddenly just weeks before his 19th birthday the last thing that I said to him was that I love you so this story is a story that has happened throughout

many years of my life and I fear that it's coming back as a short context I live in my grandparents house and I've been living here since I was born my parents also lived here too it's a big and old house with two floors and since it all happened in a man of years I'll tell each important thing and jump in time always when needed the worst things though are in the end so you'll have to bear with me so I'm in my early 20s now but this started when I was a kid there were

no cell phones or not a lot of tech for leisure so I had to find stuff to play with and spent my days either playing with toys or just walking around the house and one day I Wasing looking for my parents and since their room was upstairs I made my way there and started knocking on the door and calling for them there was no answer and they weren't there eventually I gave up and turned around to go downstairs and I saw behind me the back leg of someone exiting the room that I was in like

they just walked off no face no noise just a back leg and it seemed like a woman's leg I thought that it could have been my mother surely it was not my grandmother since she had a bad back and would never go up there but I ran to see who it was and to my surprise there was no one there now in the following years my parents got a divorce my mother started working in another city my grandfather died and I was living in the same house still only with my grandmother and her brother an

old man that was recovering from a broken Fem he was a very sweet old man and there was a joke around our family members that he would speak alone and he did always at night you would walk in front of his room and you would hear him mumbling something in the dark I never thought anything about it because I mean he was just a bit of an old dude and yeah maybe he was starting to go crazy or whatever but one day in the morning I was walking around my house and I passed in front

of the corridor and I glanced him at the end of said Corridor and behind him there was a towering man it was a tall Shadow seemed very muscular and had no apparent features I was walking fast so I had to go back and check again and when I did there was nothing there and after this in a very short time his mental and physical condition really worsened sometime after I was at my dad's house and for the first time I opened up to him about these two things my dad was very surprised and said that

our family on my father's side saw these things too but him saying that may be remember of a a few moments as a kid too I remember one instance where my dad was confronting my grandmother if she was playing games on him and also my mother and I remember him asking if she was knocking on the door screaming and run away and stalking them my grandmother always denied this but I doubt she was doing anything I mean why would she and how would she since she would never go upstairs like I mentioned my dad told

me though that he felt something weird in that house and that's one of the reasons why he couldn't stand to be there any longer and one of the reasons why it led to divorce he claimed that there was a woman here a pale one and sometime after this was when I met her it was at night at the time my room had a different configuration and my bed was facing the window so I could open my eyes and see it in front of me I'm not very proud of this but I slept with a lamp

on during most of my childhood and maybe even as a pre-teen and one day as I was asleep I suddenly woke up or something woke me up and suddenly I just had this feeling of somebody looking at me for some reason I wasn't afraid though I just was confused I guess I cracked my eyes open and in front of me there was this window no curtains at the time which was not a problem since my window goes inside the house and also it's an old wooden one but the only glass on it was the small

part on top of it and in that small glass part there was a woman looking at me deep in the eyes she was staring and just sort of staring with a blank expression I guess she was also as pale as milk and had black hair and I could only see that much though I stared back in confusion and felt nothing I looked to the side put my blankets up to my head and eventually I must have fallen asleep but in the morning I just could not stop thinking about it after this too I started having

terrible nightmares every day they were not scary in nature I guess but I would always wake up screaming at night my mom was home during this time as well and so whenever it happened she would always come to me and try to comfort me now I was sleeping another day and I woke up but this time I couldn't move and I know that this is going to sound a bit strange but I felt like a spectator in my own skin I got up and folded my blanket perfectly and if you had known me then that

was very strange because I hated doing that I exit my room and stood there in front of my grandmother's room holding my folded blanket it was almost like sleepwalking except I don't sleepwalk and I was awake and I could see it my grandma woke up and she walked to the bathroom and she saw me and asked what I was doing I was standing there for a while I turned around and walked to the living room my grandma then called my mother and she went to see me I was sitting on the couch with a blanket

staring at nothing my mother told me to get back to bed and so I did and she told me to go to sleep and so I laid in bed she covered me with a blanket and slowly closed the door and as she looked at me through the crack I smiled at her and I remember it clear as day and very Vivid and my mother also remembers this too but I swear to you that I was just not in control of my own body I told my dad about this and the woman and he said that

it was something to do with my grandpa maybe or something like that that when he worked for the railway company a woman died there and he couldn't help her apparently that presence came with them and even with them at the house these days though my grandma has passed and I live alone in the same house and weirdly nothing has ever happened since then except for the fact that I've started having those nightmares again recently and I woke up some days ago with Footsteps in my garage and there was nobody there I'll admit that I'm a

bit afraid and it all feels like something is coming back to me which is why I'm here I'm wondering if anybody else has been through anything similar to this and what you did about it I certainly don't want this thing coming back and if I can get rid of it I would love to know [Music] how so I've come here as a non-believer to ask believer is what they think about an experience that I had I don't particularly believe in ghosts or Spirits or the afterlife or anything but I really cannot explain what I saw

or what happened I don't do drugs drink I'm on no medications and I don't have any mental illness or anything like that so A few years ago I was in the bath relaxing watching a video on YouTube very relaxed actually home alone or so I thought now my bathroom door folds in on itself to open so there's a slit in the middle that you can see through allowing the door to fold and then a slit underneath it's quite a big slit too it'll go up past your ankle by about 2 in I'd say anyway I

was in the bath with my phone resting on the ledge of my bath where the Taps are which is right next to the door so the door is in full View and on my unborn son's life just as clear as me and you would see each other if we stood in front of each other that is I saw a pair of bare feet and the Hem of a black swishy dress walked casually past the door I could only catch this figure from the slit under the door and before I registered what I'd actually seen it

had walked past so I didn't get a chance to look up the middle to see the rest of the figure I remember though it looking a lot like the feet of a woman unpainted toes pale white in color but not ghostly white not dead looking just pale at first I wasn't freaked out at all I don't believe in these things after all so I thought perhaps my sister had come home early and I just hadn't heard her come in the direction this thing was walking can only lead to my bedroom though so I called out

and jokingly said Elizabeth get out of my room there was no response and I thought nothing of of it I finished my bath and I went to my bedroom to see what my sister was doing and that's when I walk into a completely empty bedroom I searched the entire house as well to find a completely empty house in fact the front door is still locked the cameras haven't triggered and now I'm absolutely freaked out I call my sister and she tells me that she's not home hasn't returned home and wouldn't be home for a few

more hours as she was still in town with my parents what made me most tense strangely enough though was just how Eerie it felt callling out into an empty house thinking that I was talking to my sister I'll admit too that I was very on edge afterwards and went downstairs with the television on and I just waited for my family to return so from someone who has has no clue about these things and to people who do what do you think that I saw that day this is the only incident like this I've ever had

in my entire life and it is genuinely making me question [Music] everything these two events happened in the span of about 3 days so I live in the capital of my country which is a very large city surrounded by mountains and UFO sightings they are not an uncommon subject here but they don't happen too often either and whenever they do it's always towards the mountains or the hills heading towards the coast so in the last 2 months the activity has kind of increased like for instance around halfway through October we spotted a bright red light

floating in the nights sky around 2:00 a.m. and the spot where it was located was exactly on the air above the mountains it stayed like that for about 10 minutes in fact hovering static without movement then just suddenly disappearing another one happened about a month ago by the end of November there was this strange orange light flying at high speed in the sky at around 9:30 p.m. I could see it for like 2 seconds before it just vanished most of the sightings are things like that too but what happened recently is well um whole different

story you see these things are always seen in the distance miles away from the city but this time it happened right on top of my head so this happened on the 16th and I was walking to get some bread and something to eat at around 8:40 p.m. I tend to always look at the night sky because I just really like the stars and as soon as I looked up my first exclamation was what the heck is that there was this tiny orb flying above me heading south towards the houses first though I thought that this

might be one of those drones everyone's talking about but then a second orb appeared from the first one they flew kind of slow and then just sort of vanished Into Thin Air thing is though is that three other people also saw this they were all looking up with a what was that sort of face too for some reason after that night as well I've felt like we're just being watched every night since then now this is where things get a bit weirder too because this happened last night at around 3:10 a.m. me and my girlfriend

were sick after the night of the 16th and she couldn't sleep much because of a horrible head and body ache so we stay awake most of the night especially me to take care of her until she could fall asleep this time I was lying on my bed watching something on TV while she was in the bathroom when she came back to bed she looked outside to the street where we live on the fourth floor and the way she looked back at me was the same look that I had that night when I saw the orbs

she double checked outside and looked at me straight to my eyes and said I saw something weird walking on the other side of the Street I already had that being watched feeling but I really wasn't expecting this what she described was a small dark figure like a silhouette walking fast on two legs the thing is is that it was heading towards the location that I saw the two orbs three nights ago and I had to see if I spotted whatever this thing was so I got up but I couldn't see it but but weirdly on

the building across the street which is an apartment building that hasn't opened yet there was constant movement of small shadowy things from around corners it almost looked like they were watching us I had an uneasy feeling the rest of that night and even due now at the moment of sharing this I still feel like that and we have no idea what we saw or no idea what those things were but if it was an actual alien or something else is there anything that we can do about it so it was in the sixth grade and

it was scouting season where a school district will go to another school to play some activities and we all would sleep there and it was all girls night time came like maybe 8:30 p.m. I I think and me and some girls were outside the quarter or the classroom because it was hot inside and the electricity was cut off I don't know why but that's just how it was anyway me and some other girl scouts went out to talk to the other girl scouts that were going to sleep in a tent I think there were three

tents and tent one had two Girl Scouts tent two had one girl scout and a teacher AKA a person who was watching and supervising the Girl Scouts and 10 3 originally had five but two of them wanted to sleep in our quarter or classroom instead 10 p.m. arrives and our supervisors told us that we had to get inside to sleep because we need to wake up early in the morning but we all couldn't sleep because it was just so hot and we're all laughing trying our best not to be loud and one of the supervisors

entered and scolded us a bit because we weren't sleeping on schedule and before I knew it we were were all falling asleep I woke up though to some sort of a noise and at first I thought it was time to get up but when I woke up it was clearly still very dark and the noise was just the Girl Scout next to me and she was laughing at another girl scout because she was sleeptalking or whatever and I couldn't sleep but I laugh as well and then there were three awake not including the one who

was sleeptalking so it was me the one next to me and the one next to the girl was sleeptalking she eventually stopped sleeptalking though and me and the girl talked for maybe 5 minutes and then there was this scream it was a mama Scream the one who seemed to scream it was ccass but we were all super scared and then our supervisor entered and said don't be scared C was just frightened by something after that me and the others couldn't sleep but the three people next to me slept like babies and anyway a few months

later there was another scream and it was Cass again this time though the girls from tent 3 came in crying and one of them said that somebody had come to cass's tent knocked on it but when they looked there was no one there and there were no footsteps or Shadows or anything we were all really scared by this and we couldn't sleep and around 11:30 we still couldn't sleep C was still in her tent honestly too I'm pretty impressed by that that she was still able to be in her tent after that but a few

minutes later we heard some weird humming noise like a creepy humming that somebody was making the girl next to me just held my hand because we were both pretty scared I don't know when I fell asleep but when I woke up it was 3: in the morning and everybody was getting ready for the activities on that day and well we all waited to use the bathroom some of us huddled in and discussed what happened and a girl next to me Lisa said that she had seen something in the window and she said that it looked

like a headless girl or just a girl without a head honestly I still don't know what the heck was going on in that place but I was sure glad to be out of there when we left when I was 16 I worked at my County Museum for the holidays my job was to tour people around one of our outdoor buildings I usually toured people through the house and Back In 1855 a doctor built this house on the land where the museum stands his whole family lived there and it looks really realistic I mean honestly when

you walk into it it feels like you're walking in and and intruding into somebody else's home now some days as you can imagine it's pretty slow there like if the weather was bad or there just wasn't much going on then I would usually just sit then I would usually just sit the house for hours waiting for people to come in well one day I was sitting in the main entrance waiting for people to stopped by I remember that it had been raining that day and it was pretty slow and I had only three other people

come in about 2 hours apart anyways I was just sitting in a chair that they had provided me and was scrolling on my phone my peaceful environment was then interrupted by a strange noise it was coming from behind a door that was about 5 ft away from me since I knew what every part of the house looked like I knew that behind that door were servant stairs and a door to the cellar I was a little bit startled by the noise and chose to ignore it at first but I heard it again and I was

like if it's a mouse or something that was rustling behind the door then I should probably do something about that I decided that I might as well go and check it out just because I was bored mostly I opened the door but the noise persisted I had then realized that the noise was coming from the Cellar Door now I had opened the door on other occasion occasions but I never had the intention of going on down there if I had to explain what it looked like I would say the basement from The Conjuring it was

pretty scary to be honest but from debating in my head I decided to open the door in the end and to my surprise as soon as I did the noise stopped as a matter of fact the whole house seemed to stop making any noise I stood there for a good 15 seconds before closing the door door a little bit confused I locked it since many kids loved opening that door and would pest to me to let them go down there and went to go and sit back down again well a little bit later I heard

creaking again this house was really old and almost everything creaks so the doors the windows the floors even the lights make noise but this was like as if a bigger person was upstairs and was walking back and forth sort of creaking strangely enough I recognize the creaking as well do you sort of know when you're at home and there's that one floorboard that Creeks that everyone knows about well after a while you recognize it and know exactly which board it is and well I knew that it was in that area that was in one of

the bedrooms it kept going for about 30 seconds before finally it stopped I kept really quiet to make sure sure that nothing would happen and I knew that nobody should have been up there since the only way to enter was right where I was sitting and I knew that nobody had come in I would have seen it or heard it at least and either way I just tried to brush it off I mean it's an old house and maybe a breeze came in or something maybe it was just the house settling who knows so I

sat back down and went back to my phone about 45 minutes later though some people came came in and I gave them a tour I didn't notice anything strange and wished them a great day in the end and when I sat back down I had the sudden urge to sneeze after sneezing I swear to you that I heard a loud and clear bless you mister it was so clear too that I whipped my head around to see whoever said that but when I did there was nobody there just like in the movies too I said

hello but obviously there was no reply I waited another 30 minutes to see if any stragglers were still in there somewhere hiding and I looked around everywhere but I can assure you that there was no one but me in there safe to say that I to at other places after that and I never went back in there [Music] when I was younger 3 years old we moved into my grandparents old Victorian house they bought a lovely House nearby and due to my parents having six kids and a four bed house their house was sold to

my mom and dad as it's a six-bed house growing up we had countless weird things happen too horrible nightmares hearing things seeing shadows feelings of being watched or not feeling alone when you were clearly alone Etc but my dad was Catholic Christian so often tried to play it down as I got older he explained that we don't believe in spirits funny though because we believe in the Holy Spirit but okay whatever and that basically we don't mess with that stuff as he's always been told not to mess with the unknown one thing that's always happened

and still happens to this day is the Hello Ghost though we call it this as it's happened to pretty much all of us mom and most six kids and our partners and it might have happened to my dad but he would never admit it but whatever this is it will usually get you when there is nobody else home which was rare as you can imagine due to having so many people living there but it always sounded like our eldest sister shouting hello over and over again and I mean it wasn't like we all wouldn't used

to say hello back as I mean why wouldn't we every time somebody came through that front door though we would shout hello as a means of I'm home kind of thing so it was very plausible that my sister just came home and was doing the usual hello but eventually you would get sort of ticked off and just be like yes hello I hear you because it just wouldn't stop despite you saying hello back I even remember once after my cousin from Australia came to live with us for a year he had gone back home and

had been gone around a week and I walked past the room that he was staying in and I heard him clear as day having a conversation with my brother honestly I didn't even question it too for a moment until it dawned on me that he was in fact on the other side of the world again I didn't know what mimics were at that time this was over a decade ago so I walked into the room and the room was empty there was also a time my two older brothers were home alone and they rang my

dad absolutely terrified they had barricaded themselves into our living room in fact as they said that they had heard the most terrifying scream my dad first told them to check if any of our sisters or myself was home who would have screamed but they legit wouldn't leave that room they said that they didn't hear anyone come in and that they were alone in the house definitely my sister and her partner eventually came home the house was checked and they confirmed that no one else was home my dad said that it must have been the pipes

in the wall but like come on dad anyway my partner of 11 years lived at my parents house for a while with me before we got our own place and was always so skeptical about the Hello Ghost always saying that he didn't believe in that stuff well we moved back home for a few months while transitioning from one flat to another at this point too a good few siblings had moved out so being home alone was pretty normal when we first lived there we lived in the basement the Catholic Christian dad shunned us down there

the first time we lived there as he didn't want us sharing a bed and knew that the seller creeped me the heck out so he thought by offering us that room that I'd be like heck no but nope I opted to scare the heck out of myself every night just to sleep next to my boyfriend boyfriend slept Sly by the way every night thanks to him not believing in the Paranormal but I digress the second time we moved in he allowed us to sleep in my old room on the top floor thanks Dad I got

in from work one night and my boyfriend looked sort of shaken up I guess I was like hey uh what's wrong and he explained that he was sure that he had heard my sister shouting hello before I was like all right let me guess you went looking and you didn't find her his first response was was that the Hello Ghost I was so relieved that he finally understood and nonetheless terrified because that meant that it was still happening after all these years but yes he got pretty ticked off at her shouting hello over and over

again despite him responding and then panicked as she has epilepsy and thought what if she's going into a seizure or something went to look and he was the only one home he just said that he went back to gaming in our room because I mean to heck with that over the years the voice has sounded like my mom myself and our other sister and of course that time it sounded just like my cousin usually after a bit of hallo back or just going back to whatever you were doing it just stops but it sort of

stops like it was never there to begin with so now I'm left wondering do we have a mimic at my parents house nothing bad has ever happened to us up to now but like should I Sage their house or something I'm sure that my dad will have had it blessed before moving in but that was like 20 plus years ago now or should we just leave it alone because it's not really causing any harm I guess if you have any advice then that would be very much appreciated also I did speak to my older sister

at some point a fellow middle child like me and she has confirmed that she remembers the Hello Ghost too so many memories are unlocking right now all three sisters and we all had dreams about the same man when my dad showed us a picture of someone who lived in the house years ago and we realized pretty quickly that but it was the same man that we were having dreams about my elder or middle sister also went through hell in that room she maybe had it worse than all of us but she would hear something scratching

behind her curtains she would see Shadows Etc and I mean I'm really glad that I got moved into her room right she would often sneak to her boyfriend's place for years to stay there and honestly I really don't blame her one bit like I said thankfully we moved out but again if you have any advice then I would really appreciate [Music] it when I was 9 or maybe 10 years old my mother got this beautiful apartment it had a nice fireplace and the living room a huge kitchen it had built-ins everywhere it was a stunning

house with stone accents I was so happy that she could afford it because well we never lived in a fancy place before when we were doing the walkth through in fact the owner was telling us that the house was a part of an underground railroad and had a special light that it would turn on for those looking for a place to hide she showed us a spot hidden under a built-in bench where a hidden sliding door was it led to an opening Under the Staircase she even let me climb in there to learn the best

hiding spot in the house she walked us through the whole house and it had two nice porches she then took us upstairs to look at the big room with a walk-in closet which would have been my mom's room for some reason the apartment was listed as a one bedroom even though there were two my bedroom would be downstairs in what the landlord called the study this area didn't look finished like the rest of the house but the last spot that she showed us was pretty cool though she took us down to the basement where the

laundry was and she told us that it used to also be used as a funeral home and had a Crematory in the basement there was an incinerator and lots of old bottles with different labels on them in one of the rooms she asked us not to go into that room without her because she was trying to preserve it then she showed us an exit through a tunnel that went under a cement Pond to where people could Escape outside of an underground railroad she walked us through the backyard and really that was about it now the

first encounter and yes there were several most of these will be mine but my brother came over to babysit and he's 8 years older than I am probably 18 at the time I would say I kept asking him for dinner and pestering him he was playing his video games and he was ignoring me I got very upset and started throwing a bit of a fit he was in my mother's bed at the time he didn't like it and pushed me into my mom's closet and locked me in there I was so mad at him at

that moment I was so mad and I even had a panic attack and in the end I actually fainted in that closet when I did though I felt somebody catch me and lay my head gently on the floor and what I remember was looking up at a woman in a bonnet and smiling beautifully at me she peed my cheek and said rest now child and then I was out I woke up to my mom yelling at my brother I was still in the closet mind you I sat up and I looked out the window in

the closet and the lady was standing outside waving and then literally she just blinked out of existence when my mother opened the door to let me out and I told her what had happened the whole thing made her well quite curious I guess you could say the second encounter and this one is 100% my mom's fault she got a Ouija board she invited her friend over for the night and they stayed up late chatting then they decided to use said Ouija board this is definitely a lesson that I've learned from my mother but do not

use Ouija boards ever in any case they asked the board a few questions and finally they decided to ask if there were any spirits in the house to Wi it spelled out evil and then the windows literally all crash shut my mom attempted to burn that Ouija board but something apparently started laughing at her and she then threw it away without closing out the session the third encounter we had only been in this place a few months at this point and this one is what made me know that there was more out there than we

can actually comprehend this encounter definitely still bothers me too in fact fact this is the encounter that established my relationship with God and knowing that he is powerful honestly I've never had anything else happen like this and I never wanted to either so I woke up to a shadow figure standing on the other side of the room I was terrified and I couldn't move he moved quickly over me though and he had a very cold presence he then whispered your mine into my ear um I was even more paralyzed with fear than I was before

I tried yelling for my mom but nothing came out he started to pick me up and I still couldn't move but I knew I had to do something but what I tried harder to scream as I float midair in a ghost's arms I let out a tiny squeak eventually and it made me realize that whatever this thing was it didn't have the power over me that it thought then I let out the loudest and longest scream that I ever had I kept screaming as well and when my mom walked into my room she actually saw

me floating she said she then spoke to the Lord and I dropped to the bed she ran over to me to make sure that I was okay and immediately I asked if we could move out she said that she would see what she could do she called the landlord the next morning and asked if there was any chance that we could break the lease because of the haunting she said yes of course and I'm almost certain that she knew that that place was haunted so my family and I lived in this rented house for over

4 years and this is the first time that anything like this has happened this happened about 2 days ago now now so me being a bit of a night hour went to bed last and I shared my bedroom with my mom and my sister it was close to 1:00 a.m. and I Was preparing to go to sleep I jerked when someone or something though tried to open my bedroom door I didn't move but looked at the door for a really long time expecting someone to open the door but there was no one I'm sleeping next

to the door by the way so I could definitely tell that somebody had tried and while I'm almost certain that someone didn't enter my bedroom whatever it was I could sense that it was lingering inside of my house I'm sleeping on the mattress against the floor and I swear that I can hear thumping of footsteps and feel vibrations every step that somebody took out there I felt like someone was looking for something or someone the thumping went on for maybe around 10 to 20 minutes I wasn't scared but I had no idea what the heck

that was and what it wanted anyway yesterday I came home late after hanging out with some friends my family is preparing to sleep at that point so they are in their room again it's around 12:00 in the morning and while I'm brushing my teeth I suddenly look at the darkness in the house I didn't turn on all the lights and then then I heard footsteps again and this time I was actually a bit scared I quickly called for my sister hoping that she came out of the room and she did the entire time being there

though I have this fear it's not the thumping sound that I heard though but the footsteps even while I make my own when I walk past that particular flooring at the section of the house I can just tell that there's another set of footsteps it's it's not for me though and I mean I was standing there brushing my teeth my mother is asleep and my sister came out after I called her and I heard all of this before this anyway we went back to the room and I ended up locking the door that night I

don't know if it helps but for my sense of security I guess I just felt like I had to do it but what do you guys think I'm wondering what the heck that actually was and if there's anything that we can do about it this happened in my early 20s and to this day I still cannot fully explain it it started with a disturbing dream my mom had the night before her boyfriend at the time who worked as a security guard at the local hospital shared what happened the next morning and genuinely it left us

both pretty shaken so he told me that around 3: or 4: a.m. he was up early getting ready for work he was sipping his coffee and half watching random shows on TV when he began to hear Whispering at first it was faint but distinctly aggressive almost like it was right outside of the front door of the apartment confused by the timing and the tone he got up to check it but as he approached the door the sound stopped thinking that it was nothing he went back to his TV and coffee then it happened again this

time the whispering was louder clearer and unmistakably coming from right outside of the front door feeling a mix of curiosity and irritation he moved quickly to open the door and looked around but again there was nothing no one in sight and no sounds he shugged it off as odd but not impossible until it happened a third time only this time there was no Whispering instead he heard a deep gutural man's voice almost yelling and it was coming from my mother's room panicked he ran to her room and swung the door open my mom was laying

in bed speaking in a man's voice that he couldn't recognize the words were garbled and unintelligible but the tone was dark and commanding he flipped on the light shouting at her to wake up and she eventually did shaken and confused she told him that she'd been having a nightmare about a shadowy figure trying to force itself upon her she described the figure as something dark and menacing unlike anything she'd ever dreamed before as her boyfriend was telling me this the next day we were both sitting in the apartment kitchen and he was just reaching this

part about the yelling when suddenly the lights in the kitchen went out well all except for one the timing was too perfect and it was really creepy both of us froze adrenaline spiking and without even saying much we just grabbed our things and left the apartment in a hurry when we came back later everything was normal all the lights were working fine and and nothing else strange happened after that to this day I cannot help but wonder what exactly was going on that night I get chills retelling this even to today and a really unnerving

feeling when I share it it was so strange that he had promised my mom not to tell me about it but I'm glad that he did but it just leaves me with so many questions [Music] I've always believed that my parents' house was haunted I was born and raised in that house and from ages 4 to 6 I saw some things that I still don't believe unfortunately my parents saw or heard them too that's not what this story is about though but that's just a little bit of context we moved into a new house the

year that I turned six my parents hop that nothing would haunt it but I always had these weird feelings about it this one room we call it The Orange Room due to the bright orange carpet that it had when we moved in was sort of an in between room I guess it sat directly in the middle of the house and acted as a sort of secondary living room this room connected the main living room the kitchen and the bedrooms together so you had to walk through it to go anywhere in the house and I absolutely

hated it something about that room just always felt so off the first few years that we lived there nothing ever really happened though my consistent and repetitive nightmares from my old house also another story for another time they had stopped I thought that maybe nothing would be wrong with this place until one night this new house sat on Old TR train tracks the tracks were pulled up and turned into a road but the old wood still was used in some of the construction of the new housing I didn't know this at the time but I

was about 9: when I started to hear it the train whistle I was sitting in the orange living room playing with Legos I looked outside of the large bay windows and saw nothing no one we no longer have any trains running anywhere within a 50m radius of the house but I would ask my mother about it and she'd just say that I probably just heard a truck horn the thing is is that I was pretty obsessed with trains at the time and I knew the difference between a train's whistle and a trucks horn and this

was definitely a train in any case I tried to ignore it chalking it up to my imagination until one day when my neighbor mentioned that she had wood from the old train tracks in her house I got chills from that and I knew that I wasn't crazy any longer things seemingly got worse after that though my mom tried to hide it but I knew that she was scared too one night something that she couldn't explain happened and I didn't know if I could believe her or not but I was 12 at the time and knew

about the small weird things my mom heard and saw like the shadow of a cat sprinting behind a car or some pictures being knocked over on a table or once a Christmas bell ringing when she was home alone she kept chalking it up to minor things like the window was open or the air was on or it was a breeze Etc one night though she really couldn't explain the clock in the main living room was heavy and hung on a wall above our fireplace beneath the clock was the mantle where my mother kept all of

the picture frames with pictures of myself my sister and my cousins it was fall so there were added Halloween decorations around as well I don't remember exactly how late it was but we were all fast asleep my mom heard a loud crashing sound coming from the living room obviously she freaked out she woke my dad up and urged him to go and take a look but he was exhausted so she dragged him out of bed and they both made their way to the living room and what they saw night neither of them could explain the

clock it had fallen off of the fireplace and I mean that's possible Right but it should have fallen straight down right onto the mantle correct well it didn't even touch the mantle the mantle was in pristine Condition Nothing had been moved the clock however was about 10 ft from the fireplace in the middle of the living room face down my dad and her tried to recreate it the next morning but the fireplace was brick and nothing that they did not even a breeze or a draft or the AC could have caused it to go that

far a few more years went by though before the next incident and it was Winter I was about 16 I would play games late into the night on weekends at this age and it was about 2:30 in the morning when I was finally turning everything off to go to bed every time that I would shut stuff off I would look out the large bay window by The Orange Room just to make sure that the outside lights had been turned off this night when I looked outside I noticed that the lights had been turned off but

that something was also seemingly staring back at me I freak out at this and Sprint to my parents room waking them both up I told them what I saw looked like a man with an extremely long face staring at me through the window my dad grabbed a metal bar and went out into the living room but nothing no person no Footprints no tracks in the snow I know what I saw though and it was definitely a face that's also though when the nightmares started to return the exact same ones from when I was a kid

other weird occurrences happened too like a tan figure standing in the background of one of my Snapchat pics the background of which was the orange room or a distorted selfy that I took where my eyes were blacked out also standing in that room well I moved out soon after that and I escaped the nightmares and the weird experiences once more I would visit from time to time but nothing else ever seemed to happen after that well that is until 2 weeks ago you see we were decorating at Christmas tree and I was happily moving ornaments

from One Tree to another when I heard it the strange familiar sound of my mother's Charlie Brown snow globe playing music I whipped my head around stopping dead in my tracks and watched as the snow globe suddenly stopped playing upon seeing that I could barely breathe my mom entered the orange room and saw me standing there pale as a ghost she said then she asked if I had turned the dial on the snow globe I told her no and straightened my posture I told her that I was passing through and showed her the ornaments that

I was holding and explained that I couldn't have turned the dial on at all it's on the bottom of the snow globe and would require the use of both of my hands to turn it on anyway as it's pretty old and hard to spin I asked when she put the snow globe on the Shelf wondering if if it was left over movement in the mechanism from when she put it out and she told me that she had put it there 5 hours PRI when I had just woken up which means that really it couldn't have

been residual movement I don't want to go back in that room I feel so weird when I do Christmas is coming up and I know that I'll have to be in there but I really really don't want to it sucks and I'm dreading what will happen the next time that I go [Music] back I moved to Georgia when I was 13 years old into a fairly nice neighborhood after my dad got a promotion I mention this because it's not typical that paranormal experiences occur with relatively new homes it was maybe a 10-year-old house no deaths

in the house and we got the house from a nice young family looking for a larger home I always lived in a warm cozy and inviting home growing up but this one though felt immediately unsettling my parents room was downstairs along with everything that you'd find on the main level of a home upstairs was just the guest bedrooms and an entertainment room or office one of the upstairs rooms where I slept though downstairs always had calm and nice energy where I always felt secure regardless of if I was home alone or not as well upstairs

though was a completely different story I would feel cold randomly like an uneasy energy was around me I'd swear that I saw Shadows too but that was the extent of it for the first few months of being there we only live there 6 months before moving to a home across the street so this was a quick moment in my life but the last 3 months of living in that house I would wake up feeling like I just wasn't alone like I was being watched I was unwelcome up there and it wasn't just the creepy feeling

from before but this was one more alarming I'd have doors open at night too lights be turned on and the most unexplainable thing was my TV in my room would not only turn on but would be set to a channel that I'd never watched and be set at full blast volume too my parents would yell at me for waking them up with the TV and I'd always tell them that it wasn't me I genuinely thought that I was lying and was staying awake at night but while I lived there I was always unhappy sad and

felt alone as well I blamed it on moving across the country as a kid during a tough part of life for a child I started thinking that I was crazy in fact then we got the opportunity to move to our home directly across the street at the original home my parents wanted we moved out and into the new home and immediately everything was just drastically better no negativity no fear calm and happy Vibes no experiences and it remained this way until I moved out as a young adult and eventually my folks moved as well well

we met the young family who sold us the original home accidentally about a year after we moved out and they learned that we'd left they told my mother that they were convinced the home was haunted and even felt bad for not saying anything they told us that items would be moved Electronics would turn on and they always felt uneasy my dad never believed it but my mom did from that day on and I was thankful for that I always have been pretty skeptical myself but I've gone down a bit of a rabbit hole of the

Paranormal Activity lately and I keep thinking back to my own experiences my parents sold that house to a Chinese businessman who would only stay in the house a few times a year for business the rest of the time it just sat there empty I'd look from the window of my new home to the window of my old room and I know that this is going to sound weird but the house just seemed seemed dark and happy that nobody was there I want to hear what others have to say though I never experienced anything else besides

this the neighborhood was built on top of an old horse farm and possibly before that a plantation as well maybe the home was built on top of a grave site I have no clue to be honest but I would genuinely love to hear what you guys think about this [Music] for a little bit of background information I come from a group of people whose cultural and religious beliefs surround Shamanism our Origins left our people with a deeply rooted spiritual connection but me personally I'm not a Sharman I'm a Christian now during my high school years

I was never really into my faith or Christianity I loved and enjoyed the thrill of watching scary movies movies for fun as a hobby as well and I believed in the Paranormal but never had any real firsthand experiences because of my ethnicity and culture I heard a lot of scary ghost stories through friends and family members including their own personal experiences even a lot of it ties into the shaman religious cultural beliefs and rules and for example it's a known rule to never respond if you hear your name being called if you know for a

fact that nobody body is around that is if you're not entirely sure it's better to not respond but instead to check to see if someone's home who might have called for you it's believed that if it's a spirit calling for you then they're trying to get your attention if you answer you let the spirit know that you heard them and they will latch on to you generally taking your response as a welcoming to impede on your life now I remember a few different family friends friends who are all Sharman sharing similar stories about hearing their

names being called but they knew for certain that nobody was home just in case they would check the entire house without saying a word or responding and it turns out that no one would end up being home there's more terrifying experiences that were shared with me but I'm going to leave them out of this because this could already be pretty long so I won't get into it so I was just an average girl with a typical Teenage life I had no real firsthand paranormal experiences or anything like I said before I only ever experienced sleep

paralysis for a short period of time and that was during my sophomore year in high school the first couple of times were pretty freaky I'll admit but eventually I got used to them and some days I'd just be so exhausted after school that during an episode of sleep paralysis I'd be like H I'm just too tired for this I'm going to go back to sleep and then I would just KO eventually they also stopped after about 2 weeks I understand the science behind sleep paralysis as I did some research on it but I'm including this

experience because in my culture it's known to be a spiritual encounter we have a different term for it in our language which in English translates to getting or being Sat On by Spirits yeah I know kind of weird and funny but that's just what it is now I didn't experience much during my sleep paralysis so I didn't really think much of it to be honest I just couldn't move and felt a lot of anxiety which is pretty typical but then I'd be able to feel a release and get up like I just woke up from

a really bad nightmare I didn't feel any kind of presence before during or after the experience I never saw anything either so I pretty much just summed it up as being the good old science type sleep paralysis explanation but in terms of the Paranormal world that's really about the closest thing that I'd ever really experienced and it wasn't really anything truly spiritual I guess you could say well all except one night during my junior year I had a very traumatic experience I won't say for certain that it was ghosts but I'm definitely convinced that it

wasn't a dream either and it was the worst form of sleep paralysis if that's what it was that I've ever had I also hope to really never experience anything like it ever again so it was a normal Saturday and at bedtime I tucked myself in with my phone charging on my pillow next to my head I had an old Verizon flip phone since this was the year 2011 and my folks couldn't afford to get me an Apple phone at the time anyway I always charged my phone during the night and I would place it front

side up on my pillow next to my head while charging the front screen would stay on and it would light up the surface of my ceiling everything was normal everything felt fine eventually I fell asleep but later woke up in a bit of a days because I felt someone was calling for me from the door of my bedroom and was standing out in the hallway it was really strange though because I didn't actually hear anyone or see anyone but I knew someone was there it's sort of the same sense as you know someone's in the

bathroom or someone just entered the room or a car even if you don't look to see I was in a bit of a days almost like half being awake and half asleep I thought it must have been my baby sister a 12-year-old at the time trying to wake me up I said aloud Anna what do you want mind you I'm not actually seeing anyone but I just feel that someone's there I didn't think much of it because I was so tired but I just knew that someone was there and someone was trying to wake me

up eventually though I fell back asleep since they didn't say anything back to me and I just koed out again I woke up again though but I wasn't in a days this time I slowly opened my eyes and slowly started to wake up I'm thinking to myself why am I awake what time is it I'm still kind of tired I peek at my phone to check the time it's close to 3:00 a.m. now and again the front of my flip phone is already on because it stays on while being plugged into charge the front displays

the time so I don't have to do much to check the time my phone is next to my head so I simply turn my head and slightly face the screen towards my eyes to see the time I move my phone back with every intention of just slowly drifting back to sleep I'm just sort of looking up at the ceiling and I see a light from my phone screen hitting the surface of the ceiling this is normal because I charge my phone like this every night and suddenly after looking for I would say no more than

3 seconds I see a huge Shadow moved from the left side to the right side across the ceiling where the light was hidden the best way that I can describe it is as if I were to take my hand and hover it over the front of my flip phone maybe four to 5 Ines away and move my hand starting from one end and across to the other end of my phone interrupting the light being casted onto the ceiling this would create a similar effect to what I saw except the shadow took up the whole entire

space of the light hitting the surface as it made its way over from one side to the other left to right I was sort of in disbelief I was still pretty tired so I doubted myself and what I just saw I was thinking that I must just be seeing things because I'm tired or maybe a bug or something went in front of the light so I thought I'll just keep my eyes open and keep looking you know just to see I was trying to verify that it was nothing and that I was just being crazy

and I was tired well 2 seconds later I see a huge Shadow moving across the ceiling where the light is hitting again the first time was left to right the second time it moved from right to left and this is when I finally really woke up and my eyes widened I was now not tired anymore I was freaking out on the inside and terrified a bit but I remained still because I had no idea what I just saw or what had just happened I was frozen in fear and instantly closed my eyes out of fear

but things got worse suddenly I felt the atmosphere of the room change it's hard to describe but it was like the gravity around me felt heavy and it was thick like the humidity on Florida it felt ominous a second after the atmosphere changed I experienced something similar to sleep paralysis where I couldn't move but I didn't dare try to speak either I was petrified I quickly felt an ominous presence on my bedside it had the same heavy feeling like when the atmosphere changed it moved towards the foot of my bed and began to climb onto

the bed the first move that it made onto the bed as well I could literally feel the area in which it climbed on it felt like a 300 lb person was climbing onto the bed too I felt each indent as it climb closer to me and over my legs I could feel the lower end of my body move and sinking towards where it was climbing each time I felt the weight of it shifting my bed from right to left every time that it crawled closer to me I was crying on the inside and suddenly it

stopped and I felt an incredibly heavy pressure weighing down on my chest it was hard to breathe and I was crying and praying to God for help mind you I was a high school girl who didn't take her faith seriously I was really only a Christian by name but after 2 or 3 minutes of praying and begging for help everything just suddenly subsided and I was released and able to move freely I was extremely afraid though and shock and was just trying to process everything I laid there for a minute until I gathered the encouraged

to hop out of bed and I literally ran out of my room straight to my little sister's bed to sleep with her that night I accidentally woke her up she was confused and asked me why I was there I told her that I was really scared and she asked me what happened but I didn't tell her I was too afraid to speak about what had just happened I couldn't sleep by myself or in my own room for a whole month after that too I ended up sleeping in my sister bedroom with her for about four

to 5 weeks straight I tried not to think about it and I didn't want to think about it I didn't want to remember it but I think I eventually told my mom about it a couple of months later but I never really shared this experience with anybody else because I thought well for one people for sure probably wouldn't believe it with the exception of other religiously spiritual people I guess and two I genuinely hated talking or even thinking about it because it was so traumatic this is the first scary paranormal experience that I have ever

had and I genuinely pray to God that it is my last if anyone is curious as well no I did not become a real Christian or born again Christian after this surprisingly as that may seem I also stopped sleeping with my phone screen face up I would charge it and always turn it over so no light would be hitting the surface of the ceiling any longer I never experienced anything after that like that ever again and as I said the reason why I don't believe that it was sleep paralysis or why I was dreaming or

anything is because I distinctly remember being awake before it happened this happened shortly before we was legalized in Germany in Berlin regulation was already quite loose as long as you didn't explicitly bother anyone you usually wouldn't get arrested for smoking in public I've been smoking daily for years now I know it's not great but that's beside the point I usually function pretty well when I'm on it however I Almost Never Smoke in public partly to avoid trouble but mostly because I enjoy the comfort of my own home home now one late night at around 3:00

in the morning I was chilling online with some friends ready to call it a day I wanted to relax with a smoke in one of my favorite shows but unfortunately I had no snacks left determined to end the night with a proper munchie session I decided to hit up a nearby small convenience store similar to a 7-Eleven a year at that hour only the sketchiest ones are still open often operating illegally so I grabbed my coat and keys but stopped short before leaving why not add a little bit of joy to this cold walk I

thought rolling a small smoke I lit it up as I stepped outside braving the freezing Breeze now the area that I live in is pretty rough mostly foreign students many from Arabic countries poor integration has led to crime and violence being all too common here unfortunately even so I was still in pretty good spirits though as as I strolled toward the flickering neon sign of the convenience door just one more intersection to go in fact that was when a group of men stood at the corner they looked Middle Eastern and a little bit older than

me watched me as I walked by it felt pretty normal for here anyway to be honest nothing really to worry about I thought already feeling the kick of my smoke I crossed the street without giving them much thought then I I Heard a Voice call out routine ID check please show me your identification my heart sank of course this has to happen the one night that I smoke in public I thought turning to face the police only they weren't police it was the group from the intersection now slowly approaching me routine ID check please show

me your ID where're undercover cops one of them said with a smug group I froze the fact that they weren't cops became clear when despite their demand none of them Reach For any identification you know smoking weed is illegal don't you the man continued his pupils were enormous as well like sourcers they began circling me like Predators show us what's in your pocket the leader demanded so it's a robbery I thought well as long as I don't resist maybe I'll only lose my phone in the few bills that I brought for snacks but then a

wave of dread suddenly hit me my weekly tips about €300 in cash were also in my pocket I had forgotten to deposit it earlier and losing that money would crush my tight budget for the month so what now as I slowly reached into my pocket the leader pressed me what's taking so long I pulled out an old pack of gum and some broken headphones hoping to satisfy them where's your wallet I need your ID he insisted still fumbling too stubborn and stupid to hand over my tips he inadvertently revealed something that shocked even me the

glint of a Glock tucked into his belt now knives and metal rods are typical weapons here but a gun that was kind of insane for Germany even by local standards German gun laws are incredibly strict my adrenaline suddenly spiked upon seeing it slowly I pulled out the 5 Euro Bill I'd planned to use for my snacks trying to keep my expression neutral you've got no wallet he growled his face darkening my brain screamed at me to do something anything before this escalated further then a desperate thought flashed through my mind these Arabic men in this

area had a well-known fear of Russians there were frequent clashes between the two groups so maybe just maybe I could use this so in the best and heaviest Russian accent that I could muster I stammered my friends have my wallet they're coming soon we meet here to my surprise their poor english comprehension worked in my favor as well they exchanged glances muttering in German and decided to wait I forced myself to look confused maintaining the bluff and it worked their effort to translate or figure me out must have seemed like too much trouble the leader

finally pointed at my 5o bill all right then you can get us something to drink reluctantly I followed him into the convenience store I mentioned earlier they grabbed a six-pack of coke I paid for it hard pounding I was certain that this wasn't going to be over that they'd either search me themselves or retaliate when my non-existent friends didn't show up but then thank to Heavens just like that they left no violence no further questions nothing I stood there in shock unable to process what had just happened looking back I cannot believe that I bluffed

in such a dangerous situation it genuinely could have been my last day on Earth and all over €300 I've definitely learned my lesson though from this and these days I avoid walking around late at night when the streets are dark and [Music] empty this happened to me yesterday late in the afternoon I just finished buying some snacks from the gas station when a man approached me as I was walking home it was dark out so the only thing that I could make out was that he was about 2 in taller than me had a green

jacket with a hood on and had fair skin he asks me what's in my backpack I try walking away but he then grabs my bag and refuses to let me go he demands that I hand him the bag I tried my best to plead with him saying that he could have the food inside if he was hungry he didn't care though he just kept fighting me for that bag I did my best holding my ground and putting up a bit of a fight several drivers sped past me and none of them bothered to stop and

help me I was all alone on a dark and empty sidewalk this gas station was in a pretty ghetto part of town a bunch of drug addicts and violent people were around I used to live there so I knew that cops were regularly called into that neighborhood I'm glad that I managed to escape that environment 2 years ago but anyway eventually the man removes his hand from his pocket and I start fearing for the worst I almost expected him to pull out a knife but thankfully it was only his fist he begins banging hard against

my fists to the point that they bleed I couldn't take it anymore so in the end I handed him the bag and watched him run off there were only some chips and some juice in there so it's not like I lost anything super valuable or whatever but I walked the entire way home constantly looking over my shoulder just in case that guy came back for more I didn't call the cops because I knew that nothing would be done about it I barely even had a description of the guy so it wouldn't really have anything to

go off of anyway but now I'm currently at work with a bandag hand trying my best to get through the day despite the pain I hope the guy who did all this ends up messing with the wrong person and gets the heck beaten out of him I wish I never went to that neighborhood and I wish that I would have just stayed home so something has been bugging me as of late I've experienced a lot of events of the Paranormal throughout my life but I've had a hard time trying to share experiences with people mostly

because I live in the south I think the problem with these creatures or things like ghosts is that it's hard to explain an experience without seeming like a a crazy fool however I feel that it is time to share and I want to connect to people who have had similar experiences with the unknown I'll tell you now though that even with a large track number of running into these things I am still heavily skeptical on what these are and I always leaned to try to disprove them so a few years ago I decided to head

out to the country to meet my friend his name was Brandon Brandon was a college buddy of mine who had quit college and had become a welder he made some good cash at an early age and had a house built on his family's land too which he wanted to show off to me during a nice sunny day I won't lie to I loved his place his family owned a huge patch of acres and his place was built like the ultim at man cave and anyway after arriving me and my old friend did the usual catching

up and playing a few games on the PS4 everything was normal until Brandon went out to get some beers and some pizza he had left me alone to play some Mortal Kombat on his 75 in 4K TV it was normal for about 15 minutes of his departure until I heard running downstairs I decided to look down the stairs to see what was happening and I saw a little girl with frizzy black hair run past the bottom of the stairs with Brandon's dog sitting at the middle of the stairs watching her run past too I was

like huh cool Brandon's Kid Sister walked from his parents to his place to play or something honestly I didn't think too much of it as I had seen kids outside of his place playing outside before Brandon returned with some Domino Pizzas some wings and some beer and I decided to tell him what I saw that his kid sister was running on the first floor and the guy he' looked at me spooked he said that he didn't have a kid sister and that the kids they had left as soon as I pulled up the weird part

was that he got kind of excited and said dude you saw her too I had to make him explain so Brandon told me a story that happened three weeks prior to me coming he had some guys over drinking during the night and they decided to crash in the room that we were in as they slept on the floor one of the guys started screaming which prompted them all to roll over to see what was going on and he said that there was this girl with black hair standing at the base of the stairs staring at

them in the dark and as soon as they saw her she darted downstairs again he stated that they turned the lights on and searched the place for her all over the place but she was nowhere to be seen he was happy that I saw her because this means that to him it was real when I analyzed the event myself I noticed that there wasn't a back door to the house that he built and when the girl appeared there was a lot of dust that sort of looked like smoke as she ran past the stairs usually

ghosts or entities they always seem to be made of this sort of smoke that has properties of like mist or something strangely though she seemed so solid and full of saturation ation when she ran past but what really made me think was noticing that the dog seemed so confused when he saw it too this was honestly such a strange event also they didn't live in a neighborhood or anything so there were no neighbors this whole event is still such a mystery to me and I wish I had more answers [Music] around 3 months ago my

younger brother woke up screaming bloody murder at around 4:00 a.m. in the morning waking up the entire house after my mother and I came running to see what was happening he was downstairs crying and screaming that there was a man in his room after calming him down he told us the full story at first he was dreaming about hands coming from the curtains and reaching out to grab him after waking up the hands were still there apparently but now they were around him on the bed he shot out of bed screaming only to be met

by a dark figure lurking in the corner of his bedroom he ran out of his room down the stairs and saw my mother standing there only my mother and I were just coming out of our rooms to see what all the screaming was about so that wasn't our mother my mother and I never saw the figures only heard the screaming but my brother swears that they were real and he wasn't dreaming anymore he did see the real us coming down the stairs and when he looked back my mother was gone he describes it as the

scariest thing that he's ever been involved in now about a week ago a similar thing happened once again and there were screams not as severe as the first time but still loud enough to wake all of us up my brother he was in the hallway crying again he had seen my deceased dog on her hind legs with red eyes and a satanic symbol staring at him I'm not entirely sure if this was a nightmare of this time but my brother is not someone who was easily scared or panicked so it definitely leaves a bit of

a bad taste in my mouth my first instincts say that it was just dreams and maybe sleep paralysis I'm not too familiar with paranormal things so I was hoping to maybe get some pointer here as to what this could be I'd be lying if I said that I've never felt weird in our house but I never thought much about it I guess it's just an ordinary Dutch family house with no prior history of Paranormal Activity I'll try and answer any questions below in the comments section since I don't really know what other info you might

need to help but I'm happy to provide what whatever you need this is an old story from when I used to live in the dorms during my time in college this happened about 5 years ago and this dorm has a full history of well people ending their lives and all sorts of tragic events so much so that the dorm windows are only allowed to be open a little bit so I lived in a huge apartment in New York City with three big rooms three in one three in the second and two in the third my

room the rooms were really far apart and there were two bathrooms too one nice one and the other bathroom with showers was a bit like a jail to be honest that was my bathroom so I live there with a girl that we call te every night te and I would have long conversations until the early morning she was a bit insane and so was I at the time I was 19 years old and I was going through depression and mental issues so that already makes the whole story a bit dark I know but during the

times we all lived there here are some things that I personally encountered and some that were confirmed by others as well the first thing was that lights were turning on and off by themselves all the time one night I left the shower and I was the only one awake I turned off the light and immediately as I walked out I saw that the light came right back on it gave me shivers but I didn't suspect anything until the next few encounters and so the second thing that would happen was the smell of sulfur appearing for

like 2 minutes and disappearing just as fast as it came T and I we were in the bedroom with the door locked and shut no windows open only the air conditioner I asked my roommate if she had farted and she said no did you and as soon as we stopped talking about it it left with no Trace but the smell was just terrible way too strong to be from a person really the third thing was hearing long melodic whistling while I shower it was not a drain too because I'd been living there for like 2

months and never heard a noise like that it was melodic and even had a tune I am a very spiritual person so this didn't scare me that much but I definitely felt uncomfortable so I left the shower in the end and the fourth thing were entire objects falling off of a bolted desk that they gave you in the dorms so one evening my roommate and I were out of the bedroom T was in the kitchen and I was in the bathroom and we both heard a loud bang when we walked in everything on our desks

was on the floor but we had those tear de desks where there's a base level and shelves above it we had those teer desks where there's a base level and shelves above it te's desk was against the wall of the outside of the building and mine shared a wall with the other room I asked the other girls if they were moving around and they were literally just there sort of studying and relaxing and they said no and also none of their stuff was moved it wasn't just like a few things fell off too I mean

every single thing was now on the floor almost like something or someone just swiped everything off to one side a normal bang would probably cause just a few items to fall off right but not everything I got uncomfortable with these experiences so I decided to place my solid gold crucifix charm with a depiction of Jesus in the room I also started praying at night and weirdly enough nothing ever happened after that but man I feel bad for anyone who stays in that room in the future because it is genuinely terrifying so my husband took me

to the Stanley Hotel for my birthday we stayed only one night and when we got there we joined this ghost tour that they had going on and they talked about the history of the hotel and whatnot I leave during the tour to go to the bathroom room come back and the tour is pretty much done no biggie though right fast forward to the crack of dawn and I'm the lightest sleeper on Earth pretty much and I hear this loud scratching at our door and I'm immediately Wide Awake it stops after about 20 seconds and I

lay back down and a few seconds later the scratching starts again I sit up in bed at this point and was weirded out because to get to our room you had to go through this Corridor where our room was and furthermore you had to have a key pass to get through the first door so it wasn't like you could just walk up to our door or anything and there was nothing outside our door when we went to bed the scratching though was loud and sounded like claws in a door and you could tell it was

coming from the bottom part of the door I woke up my husband finally and asked can you hear that scratching at the door but the scratching stopped the second that he woke up he thought that I was crazy and laughed he said that it was probably people outside and I said no it was coming from the door I was adamant that it was the door too because I got close enough to confirm it I could hear it as clearly as I could hear him he said that I was just looking for a reason to be

scared by a ghost so I must have imagined it I was getting annoyed because I never mentioned anything about a ghost all I said is that there was a loud scratching at the door and was wondering what it could possibly be because I mean we're in a corridor and it sure as heck wasn't people outside of our door I was dumbfounded and irritated because I had no clue what it was and it was bothering me I mean like what the heck was that right I didn't imagine it so we went to check it out and

I asked the worker what could possibly be scratching at my door that early in the morning his eyes got big all of a sudden though and he went and got another worker who worked there for a long time I told him everything and he said that it was a ghost dog that used to wake people up at the crack of dawn by scratching at their door my husband chimes in at that point and says oh yeah you were in the bathroom when the guy was talking about the ghost dog I could have choked him out

honestly but anyway I don't know what it was in the end I didn't see anything but I sure as heck heard it and I had to get all of this off my chest because it's been bothering me ever since it happened my husband he still thinks I imagined it but I know for sure that I [Music] didn't 50 years ago when I was in high school and college I taught CPR in first aid classes for the Red Cross in a building that was built in the mid 1800s I don't know architecture but I think it

would have been called Victorian I guess most of the time the classes I taught they were like 10 to 15 people and ended at around 10: at night after class I'd watch everybody leave lock up and then clean up classes were on the second floor and might have to carry the CPR dummies down to the basement for the storage creaky stairs bad lighting and shelves with stacked up CPR dummies looking like corpses yeah it was a bit creepy in fact that basement was just overall creepy as heck always felt like you were being watched down

there I'd hear footsteps following me up the stairs and constantly check over my shoulder while I was in the basement almost always I'd hear footsteps upstairs as well the first time or two times I rushed upstairs to see who I'd forgotten and locked inside but there was never anyone there just me in the building the office staff in the building left at 5: so I almost never saw them but I decided to get there early to see if the office ladies knew anything about the creepy basement and footsteps they all laughed at me they apparently

all knew that it was haunted they even had names for the ghosts there was a little girl that they'd seen and he singing there were muffled and mumbled voices footsteps and the toilets flushed on their own but none of them and I mean not one of them would ever go into the basement never the basement they said apparently the Red Cross they had bought the building from a former funeral home and the basement was where they did the eming I eventually got used to it I suppose but the first few times as a 17-year-old that

place absolutely terrified me I've had many paranormal Encounters in my life whether it be seeing things hearing things or even feeling things my family they joke that I must have ghost following me around because it happen so frequently but we also lived in many haunted places growing up crying babies at night things running around like crazy at 3:00 a.m. angry banging on the walls when nobody was home but me and once even a really tall shadow man that would sit by my bedroom doorway in a meditative pose but you get the idea paranormal stuff gets

on my nerves in fact so when I recently moved into a new apartment with my boyfriend and I was very happy that it felt empty as in no one was there but us I was pretty chuffed but unfortunately that only lasted until last weekend so it was very very late and we had just finished the deed yes necessary backstory sorry about that but we were laying in bed my boyfriend noticed the time a little after 3:00 a.m. and jokingly asked if I could feel anything lurking around because it was the witching hour I joke back

that sorry the ghosts only had a 10-minute window from 3: to 3:10 to do their haunting and they'd missed their shot tonight but only a few seconds later our partly open bedroom door slammed shut violently my poor boyfriend who also had very negative experiences with the Paranormal and is honestly more scared of these things than me was very freaked out so to relieve some of the tension I joked that there was nothing to worry about since it was probably some cranky old man's ghost who was mad that we didn't do just 5 minutes of dry

missionary and call it good and that it probably took him 5 years of stored energy to slam the door like that anyway but as soon as the words left my mouth I felt something slam over me like a shield of air but solid and for a few seconds I I couldn't breathe that sobered me up quickly and got me properly scared I very softly whispered to my boyfriend that whatever it was did not appreciate my sense of humor for the next few minutes the bedroom door kept opening and shutting in small jerky movements eventually I

gathered my courage got up opened the door and apologized for being offensive I then firmly added that we were trying to sleep now shut the door and locked it and we slept the rest of the night unharassed honestly I think the funniest part was my boyfriend asking to move to the side that I usually sleep on by the wall so I would be closer to the door which was absolutely fine by me it was definitely one of the more interesting encounters though that I've had in a while and I'm sad to say that this house

is not empty after all I'm even sadder to report whatever or whoever is here they do not have a sense of humor at all but I mean oh well after the shadow meditation man whose head nearly touched the door frame while sitting this ghost honestly is just lwh hanging fruit to me to preface this I just want to say that me and my wife are both of sound body and mind we're both military retirees living aboard Camp Pendleton so last night my wife was in the garage around midnight painting her toenails I was upstairs watching

X-Men 97 both of our dogs were with her in the garage she had her headphones on but heard the dogs growling and hair standing up on their backs the garage door was all all the way up and she looks up to see what they were growling at it's super dark on base at night and off in a distance maybe 100 or so feet she says that she sees two bright white circle lights kind of stacked up at top of one another one smaller one a little bit bigger she says that when she looked up the

lights were initially by a tree and then floated to the center of the field and seemingly began coming towards our house she says that she hurriedly grabbed the dogs and led the garage door down she's in East Texas rough and rugged sort of girl and not easily scared by much she said that it wasn't a person and that it was just two balls of light floating there she's not into UFOs or aliens in a big way she does believe that they exist though she's just not into researching and seeking info out on them and honestly

I'm pretty mad because she didn't tell me anything till the morning she was like dude dude I forgot to tell you last night this happened I was lowkey sort of heated because I researched this stuff a lot and I enjoy it but what do you guys think she actually saw was it just balls of lightning that we hear about all the time as one possible answer for this or was there something more to it this happened last year right before I switched up jobs in October so I used to work really early in the morning

in fact I would be at a Transit bus at 4:30 get to my intersection and hopefully catch a connecting bus I didn't like walking in this neighborhood for two reasons as well one I was almost hit by a drunk driver one time while walking to work and two I have a lot of body pain that made walking distances a little bit difficult my bus though was running late so sadly I did miss my connection and was forced to walk that day so I began my 15-minute walk to my job in the dark in the morning

now this neighborhood is a bit strange one of those where you simply cross a street and you're in the other good or bad side of the neighborhood if you catch my drift and I was in what was the newer or good side of this area to add into this too the area is barely lit with hardly any street lights so it was an anxiety inducing walk that much is for sure but as I'm walking I see headlights down one of the darkened streets it catches my attention and I glan down it for a split second

just to see what it was doing and then I focus back on the path ahead of me suddenly though the car is peeling out of that street and as a sharp turn to pull up right next to me in the car were three or four guys I want to say that they were early to mid 20s but it was hard to tell but I immediately went on high alert when they got up beside me they started screaming at me about how they were going to kill me and a bunch of other stuff before they eventually

made a u-turn on the road and peeled off into the opposite direction my heart was absolutely racing and I was shaking it was the second time something bad had happened in that neighborhood that put me off that I couldn't wait to get a new job away from this area while their threats were empty and probably just a bunch of dudes being idiots it didn't take away the fact that for a split second I was genuinely afraid that they were going to mowy down with their car or jump out and beat the ever living well you

get it and it only added fuel to the growing PTSD fire of almost getting rammed by a drunk driver one time luckily I did get a new job within a month of the incident but I am still very nervous around traffic and every time a car speeds by me while I'm walking on the sidewalk I feel my heart racing because I think of that time and also the drunk driver so I'm not big on the Paranormal by any means in fact I don't really even believe in this stuff for years I've always thought that this

this kind of stuff was just total and utter nonsense really but for the last year I have been experiencing some of the weirdest stuff and genuinely I I cannot explain any of it I live in a relatively small house 1,100 square ft two bedrooms only an attic no upstairs attached garage and the house we lived in was built in the ' 50s my family have lived in this house for about 5 years now we l this house too and for the first 4 years we had none of these issues this all started in about August

of last year I'm going to give you a bit of a list of events here that I now suspect are all related to the first event was while I was backing into my driveway one day while switching cars so my wife could leave for work I saw what looked like a shadowy man on the backup camera enter my house my heart raced but I flew into my house grabbed the bat and checked every room top to bottom because I was certain I saw someone break in but in the end I found nobody the second event

was in September we started hearing weird sounds like knocking in the walls I thought maybe we had mice but no the knocking never lasted long it always was just three knocks sometimes we would hear it on the doors and on the windows but that was it the third event was in November and I started hearing the sounds of like our old switches in the other rooms flipping on and off it would only happen like one time but it's always on and immediately off this would mainly be in the kitchen sometimes I heard it in the

bathroom though but might I add that I never see the lights go on but I clearly hear the switches going on and off the fourth event and this is when it got really weird this happened in December one night at exactly 10:30 p.m. while listening to YouTube in the garage and working on my motorcycle I heard something like slide and fall in the living room everybody in my house was asleep so I head to the living room to see where it was now in order to get into the living room from the garage you have

to go through the kitchen and when I got to the microwave stand I heard clear as day my voice calling my son's name it only did it once but I flew into the living room with my fist cocked but saw nothing but when I looked around the living room one of the pictures above my couch it had fallen down and it was the one of my son now the fifth event we hear stomping between our rooms and my son's room it sounds like it's pacing between our rooms and it is a short hallway maybe like

18 ft it never lasts long but it's weird the sixth event random toys are making noise now we're still hearing the footsteps too but they're not stamps or Stomps anymore more like sprinting in fact like something is sprinting back and forth in the hallway and always just the hallways weirdly all of this stopped in February and until today when we started hearing weird knocks again and now both me and my wife have the weird feeling that we're being watched in fact my arm hair has been standing up on its own for no reason it's really

weird to me and I don't know what to do and that's it nothing too crazy I guess but it's just all really weird stuff that I really cannot explain again I don't know what this is or how to explain it but if you guys have any ideas of how to make any of this stop then I am genuinely all [Music] ears a bunch of years ago I match with a guy on Tinder I was a freshman in college and just got out of a relationship and I was having fun I match with this guy male

in 24 and his name was D he was a little bit odd but we had similar interests and went to the same school so I thought you know what why not the red flags they started rolling in immediately when I said that I would go on a date with him of course the fact that he was so much older isn't lost on me as the initial red flag I guess but at this time I didn't have a car and de offers to pick me up but tells me that he's not in town but he would

leave his grandmother's funeral early which was at a minimum 5 hours away to come and pick me up he showed up in sweatpants a wife beater and flipflops which struck me as odd because he said that he was coming from a funeral we hadn't made any plans really just to go out and get a bite to eat and hang out I guess since he had been out of town he asked if it was okay if we stopped to pick up his dog he had left the dog with a friend apparently I like dogs so I

was like yeah sure no problem it's dark and we pull up to an apartment complex and he leaves me in the car and comes back with a golden retriever the dog immediately starts growling at me which honestly had never happened to me before so I start feeling a little bit weird about that D doesn't say anything about the dog's temperament because we have the dog too he wants to drop him off at his house this feels logical to me so I agree now let we pull up to D's house he asks if I want to

come in and not wanting to sit in the car I do the moment that I walked in I immediately knew that this was the wrong choice this house was trashed there is garbage everywhere trash bags full along the front entry bottles and wrappers on the couch and just generally just stuff everywhere D lets me know that he has a roommate but that the roommate isn't home I assume that this is to imply that the mess isn't actually his after brushing the trash off of the couch he asks if I want to sit and play chess

I had expressed that I was interested in learning and he seemed more than happy to help me learn but this too was a huge mistake de begins explaining the game to me and it isn't Fun first date explaining he has suddenly gotten very serious and is showing me each piece while telling me what it is what it does and how it moves D then begins questioning me over every piece which most I got wrong every time I get one wrong he then yells at me the correct answer and tells me to try again he got

more and more frustrated and it made me very uncomfortable so I suggested that we pause chess and do something else d suggests watching a movie which honestly is fine with me at this point the idea of us leading leaving and going to get food seemingly forgotten D tells me that we can watch a movie in his room and my oblig but then he explains that he has to put clean sheets on the bed I assume that we were moving to his bedroom because it may have been cleaner but when we got in there it's not

and there is no TV in his room he proceeds to put Iron Man 2 onto his phone to have us watch it we watched about 10 minutes of it before things got sexual I won't tell you strangers the details but short story short we didn't have sex but other things went down I'll say that those things were consensual but after they occurred I was feeling really odd about the whole situation and told him that I didn't want to have sex D was confused but didn't push it at first he said fine and we watched maybe

five more minutes of the movie before he said that he didn't want to watch the movie in more he started complaining and asking me why I didn't want to have sex with him and I simply said that I wasn't in the mood anymore he then began pressuring me to tell him exactly what it was about him that made me feel that way at this point we had moved from the bedroom back into the dirty living room you might be thinking seems like a perfect time to leave and I thought so too but this is where

things start to get scary as if he knows I'm thinking about how I'm leaving he explodes and begins to scream at me this is a six foot something man screaming in the face of like a 5 foot nothing young girl of course I'm internally freaking out but I'm trying to make sure that I don't tick him off anymore but also not agreeing to anything for the next 5 to 10 minutes D screams at me about why I don't like him why I don't want him and continuously asks what's wrong with him and to tell him

I tried to Plate him as best as possible saying the old it's not you it's me and no I don't want to leave again this man is my only ride home and I am truthfully not sure exactly where I was anyway although I did have my phone and Google Maps I didn't have an Uber at the time D finally Cales down when he believes that I'm going to stay then suggests that we try playing some video games I was in full internal freakout mode trying to make sure that I was playing the part of the

interested date because I was terrified that if you felt I wanted to leave that he would freak out again we played this game for a while then out of nowhere D starts getting upset again he started yelling about why no one likes him why no one wants to get to know him and why no one loves him saying that he has never had a girlfriend and all his dates have been one night stands again and I plate him with I don't know lots of girls are just snoody like that at this point I'm saying anything

and everything that he wants to hear he even starts crying about how his mother never loved him and telling me very deep dark things about what his mother has said to him and treated him after he finally comes down once more he gets up and goes to the kitchen to fix us some drinks now if you're anyone with a brain you're thinking absolutely absolutely not which was my exact thought at that moment too I decline his multiple offers for a drink he asks if instead of alcohol I wanted water and of course I declined that

too feigning that I just wasn't thirsty I stayed at his apartment until 1:00 a.m. because I was sitting next to him terrified to one ask him to take me home two say I had walk home or three figure out how to get an Uber I had been trying to download Uber on my phone without him noticing but then it asks for card information and that was too hard to do without him noticing So at around 1:00 a.m. I yawn very loudly and say oh wow it's 1:00 a.m. my roommate's going to be so worried about

me I laugh as if my roommate would be stupid to worry and that I hadn't been watching the clock since he picked me up at like 9:00 p.m. and then said I'm so tired you know I should get home soon again I was super scared that he would freak out but he didn't explode he just looked at the clock and said yeah it was late but I wasn't taking any chances so I said I have a great idea if I get to bed soon I'd love to have breakfast with you on campus I was hoping

that my offer convinced him that I was intending to see him again and it did he seemed very happy at the prospect of it and jumped up walking me out of the house into his car even the drive back though was excruciatingly long the ride was completely silent neither of us spoke it was only a 10-minute drive but I could have sworn that he slowed down every time that we got to a particularly dark area or underpass de he dropped me off and I smiled and made a good show of being tired yet excited to

see him tomorrow he offered multiple times to walk me to my door but I declined every time and said that I didn't want to bother him and that I'd see him tomorrow I walked myself to the building and the moment that I got around that corner I sprinted so fast up those stairs and to my door before he could change his mind and follow me to the door when I got in my dorm room I genuinely felt like I just escaped a serial killer even now sharing this it genuinely makes my heart race a bit

I never met up with him obviously but he begged me for multiple days after to meet up with him again he even asked to pay me $20 an hour to sit near him in the library I declined obviously and I only ever saw him once after the gym on campus he didn't see me and I just left immediately I've thought about the occasionally since that date and wondered if all those girls that he had one night stands with had the same experience that I did I still sometimes wonder how many girls were there after me

and if they got away like I did so I cleaned houses for a while in my small Hometown in Indiana a new woman moved in a few houses down and my boss at the restaurant that I worked at told her about my cleaning told her about me cleaning houses the woman asked if I would be willing to clean her house twice a week and walk her dogs daily I agreed and it was fine for the first couple of weeks she kept all the pet stuff at the top of the basement stairs and the leashes and

harnesses on the back of the basement door she told me that her and her husband they were supposed to move to Tennessee but he went ahead of her and told her not to bother coming down apparently he had been having an affair and was moving The Other Woman into their new house with him she asked me to watch her house and dogs because she was going to Tennessee to get some of her stuff that he had taken with him when she returned her basement door now had two new padlocks on them and I was told

not to bother going down in there as she had moved the pet stuff apparently she left for work and I went about cleaning there were weird dragging and banging sounds from the basement the entire time that I was there though when I saw her the next morning she told me that any weird noises from the basement was just from the furnace which she had turned on the day before which was weird as it was May and already getting hot out and her house wasn't warm at all and then she became obsessed with me she wanted

me to go to dinner with her all the time or stay at her house I went to dinner a couple of times but she was always weird towards me I ended up having to move suddenly and told her about it and she almost had a breakdown she tried to get me to move in with her in fact and her reaction just freaked me out almost 2 weeks later she came to the restaurant that I worked at and asked for boxes she told me that she didn't need my help anymore and that she was moving away

she was acting odd though and like she was in a hurry to leave and 2 days later she was gone honestly I think she brought her husband and his girlfriend back from Tennessee and killed them I moved away about a month later and I never heard much else about her my grandma used to live in a four stories high flat and she was on the top floor she lived there for like 50 plus years and the whole building is like at least 100 plus years old now when my mom was a little girl she experienced

a lot of creepy stuff she told me this particular story as I grew a bit older that really stuck with me all these years one night while she was sleeping in bed with her little sister they shared a room she looked over to the door and saw a man standing in the shadows full of fear she froze and didn't know what to do so she just stared at this man and decided to wake her sister up while having her eyes fixed on this guy her sister woke up and began to cry after seeing this and

her parents they came into the room and and the man was just gone another thing my mom told me was beside the garden door on the bottom floor there was this little indoor storage area where all residents of the flat could store their bikes scooters Etc my mom told me not to go in it she legit told me that it's haunted and to stay away from it I never went close to it in fact I remember every time I had to go up to my Grands by myself I would feel an eerie feeling coming from

that little compartment and I would just Sprint up the stairs I would also feel as if something was following me from behind as I was going up those stairs it was weird anyway that's some backstory of this house but now when I was 14 years old myself my brothers and my cousins we all used to go over to my Grands quite regularly and back then we never had phones or anything like that so we played games like hide-and seek what's the time Mr Wolf Etc one day it was just me and one of my cousins

he was around 11 all of the adults used to sit in the living room and they used to tell us to just go and play because we used to scream and they used to tell us to close the door as well which we always did so my cousin and I decided to play hide-and seek this day I tell that's I'll seek and he hides he agrees and he goes to hide I face the wall and begin to count down and when I finish I go look for him I start by the kitchen and he's not

there I go to the bathroom not there either then I go to my grandparents bedroom inside the bedroom they had this closet well it was more like a small room with plenty of space in there for like four people but this is where they stored a bunch of blankets and old sort of traditional furniture and as I entered the bedroom to my surprise he jumps out from the closet with both of his hands on his throat criss-crossing each other looking pale and sort of blue and what he says next I'll never forget he says to

me with tears in his eyes why did you strangle me my first instinct was to call him stupid and say I didn't but then he says you were behind me Str angling me I saw your face this sent shivers down my spine in my head I'm thinking if I'm currently in front of you how could I have just teleported in front of you if I was right behind you a second ago for this to make any sense I would have had to have strangled him then I would have to somehow run directly in front of

him out of the closet door without him seeing me and get to the position that I was currently in which is impossible so being the older cousin I could clearly sense the fear and distraught that he was in to lighten the mood I started to laugh and giggle and said yeah it was me ha haa I was behind you I hugged him but honestly I was terrified we stopped playing hideand-seek after that his mom was mad at me for strangling him and I just took all the blame I told my mom what happened when we

left my Grands and she believed me and hugged me and we just kept it to ourselves many years down the line I was like 21 and this cousin was like 18ish and I brought this story up with him and he remembered at clear as day exactly what happened we talked and now that he was way older he understood what had happened and that it was completely impossible for me to be in front of him like that and also behind him strangling him a moment ago he thanked me for giving him that Comfort at that young

age and telling him that it was me strangling him he said for many years that he believed it was me because I told him it was he also said that if I didn't say that it was me he would have been paranoid for the rest of his life he said that as he Grew Older he started to think about that day and started to realize that there was just no possible way it could have been me strangling him if I just come into the bedroom in other words he had started to put it together himself

thankfully that house has now been sold but even as I grow older there are moments when I feel the urge to drive by it again yet as I approach a sense of unease creeps over me suddenly and I find myself accelerating desperately to escape its haunting grip just a little bit quicker [Music] two years ago I met a guy on Tinder Good Feeling from the start so we quickly decided to see each other he asked me to come and sleep at his place which I accepted because we had mutual friends I told myself that he

was definitely someone that I can trust I arrive at his house at 9:00 p.m. and I immediately see that he's not as I imagined he looked dirty his apartment looked like a squatter's house and there was a smell of St tobacco in every room I also see a stack of books on autism when I come into his home and so I ask about it I learned at this moment that he is autistic with asperges and that he has difficulty differentiating right from wrong he also tells me that he knows how to analyze non-verbal language really

well and that he knows what a person is thinking just by their attitude I don't know anything about neurod Divergence but I directly Wonder what his inability to recognize right from wrong meant anyway he offers me a glass of alcohol which I accept and as I follow him into the kitchen I see a weapon placed on the counter I'm a little panicked When I See This and seeing my look he explains to me that it's not charged and that it really belongs to his father I never knew if it was a real weapon but I'm

starting to get a little bit uneasy by seeing it on Tinder he told me that he wrote quite a bit as well like me so he shows me a poem that he wrote on his computer let's just say that it was an absolutely horrific poem I freaked out at that I pretended to appreciate his talent because he was really starting to scare me we then talk about his ex and he tells me that they'd had fun choking and drowning each other in the shower because they wanted to know what it felt like to have control

over the other's life it was too much at this point I had Swept Away a lot of red flags in just a few hours but I just wanted to leave problem was I had to sleep at his house so I had to find a plausible excuse to leave without him understanding that I was fleeing the situation honestly I was afraid that he had bad intentions and would come after me if he understood that I was afraid and that I had understood his little game I discreetly send a message to my father with the address so

that he can come up picked me up immediately I explained to the boy that ultimately I couldn't stay but that I was really disgusted at not being able to stay longer I played the hypocrite to Perfection at that moment we were both in bed and I was just looking at my phone waiting for only one thing to find out when my father was going to be there at one point he asks if I'm in a hurry to leave though because he notices that I'm looking at my phone regularly I was scared because I remember him

saying that he knew what a person was thinking just by his attitude I told myself that he was going to take action if I didn't hide my fear so I managed to make him believe at least I had that impression that everything was fine and that I was in absolutely no hurry to leave he offers me a massage which I Tred to refuse but not wanting him to understand my discomfort especially since I was soon out of trouble I accepted I eventually found myself in my under where him on top and it was horrible and

just as he was about to touch my chest my phone rang my father was in front of his house so I get dressed quickly and barely say goodbye to him as I leave the apartment I sent him one last message explaining that I didn't want to follow up because his behavior really freaked me out and then I blocked him believe it or not too one of my friends matched with him on Tinder a few days later he had offered to come and sleep at his place and obviously I warned my friend who didn't follow up

with this guy now I don't know if he was just weird or if something could have happened to me but I guess the moral of the story is to be careful on Tinder because it's true that you never really know a [Music] person in the' 60s and 70s it was common for people to Hitch around the country my father is Blue Collar through and through and before he got married and had kids he worked on oil rigs tired and graveled roofs hopped freight trains with his friends and even hitched to Woodstock he's always done manual

labor jobs so he's always been reasonably fit with an average build and in the hitchhiking era he was cautious and aware but never truly felt like he was in any danger they even hitch off and on job sites as well during a snowstorm in New England in the 70s he was hitchhiking for Massachusetts to see some friends in New York he said that he would be cautious and choose cars and drivers that looked neat and clean he wouldn't take any weed or food or drinks offered to him and he'd be pleasant when talking but wouldn't

give too much personal information away it was semi late in the evening though and a nice car pulls up the driver was a man who looked to be in his late 40s early 50s he remembers the inside of the car was very clean and the man driving was white well dressed and groomed and drove along at a reasonable speed and comfortable silence through the sleep and snow when the car finally approached the exit where my father needed to be dropped off my dad said that he told the man hey buddy right up here is perfect

you can just let me out and I know where I'm going after that the man said nothing kept looking ahead driving and didn't slow the car down my dad said he then was getting a little bit nervous so he put his tough guy voice on and went hey man I'm not looking for trouble here I told you that you can pull over and I'll handle it from here pull the car over man the driver then turned to face my dad and he could feel the car starting to speed up faster and the guy started smiling

the way he described it made it sound like the creepy pasta story The Smiling man to be honest it didn't matter that my father was cursing him out he just had a blank look behind his eyes and a giant smile the man then said really quietly to my father and where do you think you're going he still kept the big Mooney smile on his face dad told me that he thought about grabbing the wheel and making them crash but he didn't know where he was and he didn't know if the guy had a weapon on

him he said that he saw a turnoff approaching though and so he quietly put his hand behind him on the door handle and decided that he was going to try and tuck and roll out or run out if the guy slowed down enough the guy driving started slowing down enough at the turn for my father to jump out and he did hit his shoulder on the concrete but was wearing a jacket and work boots so it sort of cushioned him he saw an embankment leading up into some trees so he just used his hands to

climb up the grass and snow ran into the trees and flattened himself on the ground and hid he said that he thought at the time no way will this guy come after me and he saw the Man From Below get out of his car and start quickly climbing up the embankment after him on all fours dad said that he just sprinted further into the woods out of sheer Terror he was banged up by some branches and didn't know if he was about to run into a retaining pond and drown or go off the side of

a cliff but he wasn't going to lie there and wait for this guy to find him he laid down again and covered himself with some wet leaves at one point he was too scared to look up and check if the guy was coming after him he heard noises in the distance and he believes the man at least attempted to enter the woods so he laid on the leaves and slush for a long time until he had the courage to slowly move out towards the highway and the off-ramp in the car he had left his scarf

and a duffel bag of clothes and stuff but thankfully nothing with his ID dad said that he ended up just huddling into himself and kept walking as fast as he could on the shoulder of the road occasionally ducking into the woods when he heard a lone car coming and he didn't stop walking until he found the closest town to call someone for help he never did report it never hitchhiked again either even with his friend in a group he says that even after all these years he can still picture the guy's face exactly what he

looked like what he was wearing and even what the car looked like I once offered would he like to look at some true crime things to see if he can match the face in case there were actual active serial killers in the area but he doesn't like to go there and didn't want to do it he tries to scoff it off and joke about it a lot but I know that this has stayed with him his whole life because it has honestly really scared him back in the summer of 2005 or maybe 2006 actually I

was employed by the National Park Service in Washington state after spending 8 Days conducting Trail work in and around glacia Meadows in the ho rainforest we began the long hike back to the trail head my coworker he was hiking ahead of me by roughly 5 minutes setting a Brisk Pace as we made our way down the trail as I descended a particularly steep Switchback I noticed my coworker engag enged in a heated argument with a man that he had just encountered I paused at the top of the Switchback trying to discern what was happening below

the man dressed in jeans and a tank top and carrying a fishing pole seemed to be heading towards one of the subalpine Lakes likely to fish I guess his attire was unusual for someone about 10 mi from the trail head no backpack water or gear which made him stand out even more from a distance I could see the man was visibly agitated gesturing aggressively as he spoke when I called up to them my coworker briefly explain that the man was Furious because he believed my coworker should have stepped aside to let him pass adhering to

the unspoken Trail ETI of yielding to those hiking uphill but as soon as the man saw me approaching his demeanor changed drastically his aggression faded and he immediately ceased his argument he walked past me without making eye contact his earlier hostility replaced by a sudden desire to leave the encounter behind the entire situation was unsettling to say the least but we Shrugged it off and we continued our hike back to the trail head now years later in a moment that brought that strange encounter rushing back my coworker called he had been watching a news story

about a murder in Alaska and found something disturbingly familiar about the suspect involved without revealing any specifics of the case or our encounter he emailed me a photo of the suspect and asked me what I thought and as soon as I opened that email my heart skipped a beat the face staring back at me was unmistakably that of the man that we met on that trail years before the man who had seemed so unnerved by my presence during that argument was now identified as Israel [Music] Keys I've always believed in the Paranormal that saying I

still sometimes tend to want to debunk paranormal experiences because honestly it's well just downright terrifying this is one experience that still freaks me out but I sometimes like to play it off as just sleep paralysis I guess the exper erience it happened late one night in my bedroom now my bedroom was super small and I had bunk beds even though I was an only child I always slept on the bottom bunk and like usual that's where I was I had finally decided to lay down and try to fall asleep I was lying on my side

facing the wall when I felt like I was being watched you know when the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and it just feels like somebody's in the room with you well that's the feeling that slowly started to creep up on me my room was Pitch Black and as a kid I had caught myself staring into the dark and seeing things in the corners of my room but this night I was facing away from the rest of the room which was a bit odd suddenly though the feeling changed to not just being

watched but it genuinely felt like somebody was right behind me that's when I felt someone breathe down my neck I remember going stiff because it felt like someone was hovering over my back and breathing on my neck I had this surge to turn around and see what it was or if it was just my overactive imagination but I was too scared to even move my eyes were still open just staring at my bedroom wall as I felt the hot air on my neck finally I got up the courage to whip my body around so that

I wasn't wondering what was behind me when I heard this deep male voice that said don't turn around so in the end I didn't I just slammed my eyes shut and I laid there in absolute Terror until I felt the presence behind me leave the adrenaline pumping through my dissipate and then eventually I must have just fell asleep so I need some thoughts on what you guys think if whether or not this was sleeper is or a genuine paranormal [Music] encounter this event happened about a year ago but it has always stuck with me here

I haven't been able to find a lot of clear information about it so I would love to hear any possible explanations that you might have so my family recently moved to rural Pennsylvania about 10 minutes from the West Virginia border and about 20 minutes from Ohio to get home now I drive through a lot of Farmland one afternoon while heading home I was passing a cornfield going about 45 mph when I immediately felt my whole body stiffen and had an overwhelming feeling of just being watched I found myself sitting up completely straight up in my

seat turning down my music and gripping the steering wheel titer I was on an empty back road so I figured if my instincts were kicking in there must be an animal nearby or something I slowed down to about 35 mph and I glanced around to see if I saw a bear or a coyote or maybe even a sketchy person and it was then that I noticed two glowing red eyes peering out from the cornstalks on my right about 10 ft in front of my car a feeling of this is not good or safe washed over

me all of a sudden so I instantly hit the gas and sped off to my house once I got there I sat there trying to figure out what the heck I just saw maybe someone's laser lights on a hunting rifle maybe something reflected against my headlight strangely but just nothing seemed to adequately explain what I saw my sense of panic and or the overwhelming ing feeling of malicious intent that came from those eyes my best guess was that it was a really big owl but this happened during the day so that just doesn't make any

sense also the fact that it happened during the day those eyes must have been real bright to shine that light so bright that it was easy to distinguish between it and the daylight whatever it was the moment is always stuck with me and I i' like to know if a a redyed corn thing is a common thing to encounter and if so what is it when I passed the same spot later that day coming from the opposite direction I felt hesitant or cautious driving by but not unsafe like I did that time maybe whatever I

saw had moved on by then I don't know but I just want to have an idea of what the something that moved on might have been [Music] I live on this big piece of um sort of Farmland I guess with two homes the house my husband and I live in and the house that is owned by his grandparents is a short walking distance away we have a lot of woods surrounding our land and we get a lot of woodland animals that come through our yard a lot it's one thing that I really love about living

here in fact for instance there's a ground dog family that I've watch grow up that live by one of our sheds they tend to mind their own business and don't bother any of our small crops but anyways our dogs kind of just know the territory and walk around freely between our two homes in a large field I guess you could call them Farm dogs but they don't really do anything but my dog is a three-legged 15-year-old Chihuahua that manages to get around better than me somehow and n as really fat beagle who would lick you

to death pretty much but we're also dogs sitting my mother-in-law's big dog for Fourth of July weekend since she's going to be somewhere with lots of fireworks he really doesn't like them and he's familiar with our home but anyway last night I came out of the bathroom and the big dog starts freaking out like whining howling kind of stomping his feet like he wants to show me something if that makes sense this isn't really unusual for him because he gets pretty mouthy when he wants to go outside so I started going towards the door which

then he started gesturing with his head towards it so I opened the wooden door before our screen door and he just kind of froze in our kitchen like a statue my dog then came up behind him and froze too they both just stared directly at me and turned their heads towards the door and sink like they were gesturing for me to go outside it was really uniform and weird it's hard to describe but like it just felt so wrong for them to do it like that but at the same time I assumed that maybe there

was a skunk outside or something so I went out onto the porch to see our grand neighbor's dogs sitting happily on our porch which made me relax a bit there were very distant sounds of fireworks so I thought maybe that's what our dogs were on edge about but then the fat beagle on the porch did the same thing looked at me nodded his head towards the woods like a suggestion I noticed that he was sitting uncharacteristically still and wasn't panting and snorting like he usually does I walked to the edge of the porch and looked

around for a bit and eventually my eyes landed at this one spot a perfect hole between the trees that allowed me to stare back deeper into the woods a little bit and in that spot I saw a pair of eyes open and blink at me now the rest of this is kind of a bit of a haze but I just remember thinking you need to go to the woods over and over again while urging myself not to do it like I was having a battle with a rope pulling me it suddenly looked like there was

grass that was laid perfectly for me to walk on like I could point out spots that had been Tread On by feet before it was like there was a path made for me to walk to this pair of white eyes staring at me from the woods my husband at this point noticed something was a mess I guess because he heard the door open and wasn't sure where I was I always tell him when I go outside to read or sit on the porch for a while and I just kind of heard him behind me go

what are you doing I remember saying I'm just looking I specifically remember saying that too my husband kind of started getting worried at this and started guiding me inside but I remember saying I'm just looking me finally I should be inside and shut the door turned around wide-eyed and kind of questioned um you do not need to go out into the woods you know that right I was really confused from what I remembered from his perspective what he should have seen was me standing on the porch staring into the woods I never mentioned anything about

walking out there just had the Sensation that I should move but it was then that he told me that apparently I kept looking out like I was in a trance and saying different variations of I need to walk out into the woods for a little bit mind you I have no recollection of this at all I've had weird things happen to me before but this this truly filled me with Dread I don't understand what happened and I'm honestly really frightened about any of us going outside alone for a bit I really really feel like there's

something trying to lure us into the woods or something I know that that sounds crazy but honestly that's how it felt [Music] so my husband and I were watching a scary movie the other night we don't usually watch scary movies but we thought that it would be fun since our kid was staying with his grandparents for the night and about halfway through the movie we got bored of it and decided to call it a night it was around 11:30 at this point we were watching it in our bed so we just turned it off and

the lights and laid down within maybe 30 seconds of turning off the movie though I begin to hear a man talking it sounded like it was coming from our basement we live in a log home and we sleep in the Loft which is open to the rest of the house the stairs leading up to our room are made of half logs so you can just peer through them and see down into the stairs leading directly below into the basement which also has no door at first I thought maybe I was imagining it I think that

I've had auditory hallucination before I fall asleep before so I thought that that's what this was but we have a German Shepherd who sleeps at the top of the stairs in the Loft with us and she hadn't seemed to notice anything about 10 seconds after hearing this voice I hear several other sounds sounds of something moving in the basement jostling and sort of gentle thuds at this point my husband Whispers did you hear that and I'm like yeah and he says it sounded like a a man talking and I was like yeah I heard it

too so he jumps out of bed puts on his robe and gets the gun and starts checking around the house I have my phone up ready to dial 911 if need be he starts in the basement nothing all the windows are closed and locked and the alarms on them are undisturbed same with the sliding door we checked the rest of the house and still nothing I'm super freaked out at this point he has to get up early for work though so we go back upstairs to our bed he goes to sleep but I am just

too freaked out and I stay up with a lamp on ready to attack the sneaky Intruder until about 2: in the morning when I was just too tired to stay up any longer and so I fell asleep I heard a couple more strange noises up until I fell asleep most of them I just attributed to the house shifting my box fan made a high squealing noise a few times which I've never noticed before almost sounded like bats squeaking in the end I I just couldn't relax about the situation because I just can't come up with

a solution as to why this happened I mean the house was secured there was no way anyone could get inside we live in a rural area and know our neighbors they don't wander around our property it just doesn't make any sense The Voice didn't sound p particularly threatening or anything it sounded like a a country boy talking to his buddy not super loud not quiet just a sort of casual interaction I don't know guys the whole thing is weird and I just don't know what to [Music] do back in the summer of 2020 I was

traveling with my partner to boy's ID from Colorado to visit his family and stay for a camping trip the trk is nearly 15 hours long and while you can do it in a day it's better if you stop to rest having lived in Utah at one point in time I was pretty eager to show him the natural hot springs in Spanish Fork they are located deep in Diamond Fork Canyon and require about a 45-minute hike from the parking lot but still we were both excited to get out and moving after 7 hours in the car

when we arrived at the first parking lot however the gate was shut and locked tight a sign taped to the metal red clothed absolutely no access to Hot Springs finds $2,000 Max or something to that nature obviously we were pretty bummed Co had shut down many things and we figured that this was outside so there's no way that it was going to be closed after some research on the government website we we discovered that a body had possibly been found in the springs and was likely the cause for the locked gate sad and tired of

sitting in the car we drove back down the canyon road to find a spot to camp for the night most of the more established campsites were closed due to co or were already taken for the night this was fine though since we prefer more dispersed camping anyway so we picked a random spot to turn on as we drove closer to exiting the canyon it was Road 338 most of the road was a well-kept dirt road we passed some promising spots near a creek and maybe two or three other people already set up for the night

we wanted to go a little further to see if there was anything with that wow factor it sounds funny I know but some sites give off that this is the one feeling finally though we came to a dead end in the main road with a fire mitigation road to the right at this very spot there was a strange Boulder with some type of incription on it partially surrounded by a wooden fence and I had to investigate the inscription read Diamond Battle June 20 1866 it was a memorial for a battle that happened right here a

feeling of uneasiness and oddly respect I guess washed over me after traveling up the Fire Road and not finding what we were hoping for in a campsite we decided to pick a spot by the small Creek that we had passed on the way in it was getting dark quickly now but we set up our tent in no time at all and we got a fire going the creek was loud but peaceful although ever since I read that inscription I couldn't shake this strange feeling I'm not a paranoid person but I kept feeling on the edge

of my seat like someone was watching us from the woods just across the water as the night grew darker this feeling grew stronger as well I decided that I didn't want to be in the open anymore and retreated to the tent to get some rest while my partner stayed up to enjoy the fire I snuggled into our sleeping bag and I exhaled comfortably listening to the creek that was now much quieter and was a bit further from the tent I started to drift off when I heard it there was soft chanting rhythmic drums my eyes

shot open was I really hearing that I strained my ears to listen over the running water I couldn't quite get a clear sound but something was definitely there this is when I noticed the ground was also rumbling as if horses were stampeding down the road 100 ft from our sight to be honest I didn't know if I should get out to tell my partner but I had the strangest feeling that if I said it out loud that it would make it more true and that an army of spirits would spring from the trees and into

our campsite before I could make the decision though I I must have just blacked out because somehow I had the most peaceful sleep that I had ever had the next morning a little bit confused we packed up our tent and left with no Trace that we had ever spent the night by a little Diamond Creek when I finally entered cell service I did a Google search of that Memorial and Diamond Fork Utah turns out there was a battle there between the UTS and the Mormon militia and lives were lost on that mountain side after reading

this I decided to tell my partner what I had heard last night before falling asleep I told him about the chanting and the drumming and even The Stomping of the horses and he looked at me shock in his eyes in disbelief and said that he had apparently heard the exact same thing and now that I think about it I guess I was only in the tent maybe 10 minutes before he seemed to get spooked standing alone by the fire hearing this distant chanting in drums and apparently he came into the tent and experience that same

sort of peaceful blackout that I had when I think back about it though I feel as though we were being watched over by some Native Americans or something that lost their lives there a strong but calm and protective presence I guess if you're ever on Diamond Park Road I do hope you visit and pay respects to that Memorial of the Diamond Battle and who knows maybe you'll experience something like we have I want to preface this by saying that I don't know whether or not I actually believe in the Paranormal but what happened to me

back when I was a kid was definitely abnormal to say the least I was five at the time yet I remember it all clear as day so I'll start by giving you a little bit of a layout of the apartment as I remember it but my bedroom was down a really really long hallway and the light bulbs in my mother's apartment would always burn out I was used to it and I wasn't scared of the dark at this point that all changed that day though my mother's bedroom was on the opposite end of the hallway

next to the living room and in front of the bathroom I was drawing in my bedroom way past my bedtime when I heard a knock on my door I understood that I was found out and I apologized before turning my lamp off when suddenly the door knob on my bedroom door started shaking violently I thought that my mom was freaking out at me again and I was a pretty brave kid who didn't let myself get intimidated easily so I walked right through the room and opened the door but when I did there wasn't anybody I

don't know I was suddenly overwhelmed with fear I don't think I've ever been this scared in my life before or since then yet I've had weirder things happen I ran down the dark hallway and the whole time I was under the impression that something was chasing me through the darkness but I never saw anything I got to my mother's bedroom and there she was I snuggled up to her while she was sleeping unfortunately she had pretty violent night nightmares that would sometimes cause her to punch holes in the walls and to this day she punched

me in the face a few times by accident I would have spent the rest of the night crying on her bedroom floor if she hadn't have woken up to comfort me there's been a lot more things that happened in that apartment including incidents with shadow figures and I would be willing to share those at some point but for now this will have to do but I guess the reason why this whole thing has had such an impact on me is the fact that that door handle was absolutely going crazy right up into the point when

I opened that door in the late 80s my parents moved from one part of the state to another due to my dad's work we had to live in an apartment for a while before my parents found a place to buy I remember going with them a few times to look at older homes as my dad wanted to deal and wanted to get a fixer up on most of the older homes were really ugly and creepy though but my parents had settled in a house that was two stories five-bedroom house with three bathrooms the house was

twice as big as our other house and seemed like a castle compared to living in an apartment for a few months the house was very dated and although out of the house there were Furnishings decorations and stylings of the late 1960s and early 1970s it was still very ugly the same weekend my parents bought the house we were all expected to pitch in and do things like tearing out the old carpet painting removing old wallpaper and sanding down cabinets there were a few times during the renovation period that my parents left one or a few

of us kids there alone while they went out or went to the apartment to rest almost immediately though things started to happen in that house strange things at first like a radio my parents kept there started playing music while we were working it would turn off and on randomly lights would Flicker and if you were working downstairs you would hear people walking upstairs this happened so much that a few times I thought somebody broke into the house after we moved in things continued to happen some of the significant events were when my bedroom was upstairs

and I heard someone walking up the stairway at this time I was home alone and thought my parents were returned they hadn't another time I had heard a scratching at the window and it sounded like a tree branch was rubbing up against the window but there was nothing there and no tree for more than 40 ft from that window one time a few friends from school came over and if you're walking up the stairs all the way across there was a a sort of wall of mirrors along the stairs and my friend had saw a

lady walking up behind her and thought that it was my mom and turned around to say hello but nobody was there and she screamed and literally ran out of my house another time A friend had stayed the night and he slept in the room next to my room he woke up to someone Whispering next to his head in a language that he didn't know he jumped up and ran out of the room we looked around and woke up my parents even my dad accused us of playing a prank but he swore by it like I

said to my bedroom was upstairs and it was down a short hallway where my bedroom door was on the left the bathroom door was on the right and straight ahead was a guest bedroom in the middle of the night I woke up to hearing a motor running or something I remember laying in my bed hearing the noise like so loud I got up and opened my bedroom door and noticed that it seemed to be coming from the hall bathroom and it was a a hair dryer and I mean I rarely ever use that hair dryer

but it was in there because sometimes my sister would come upstairs to do her hair and makeup in that bathroom if the other one was occupied as my parents didn't want us kids tying up their bathroom the thing was though is that I can't remember the last time my sister was in there and I don't remember that hair dryer being left out my parents would often take long weekend trips back to our old city to visit friends and family so when I got older I was left home alone they would take my sister and my

parents also often had foster kids so they went along too I would prefer it that way anyway so I would order pizza and have a few friends over and rent a movie and all that one of these weekends though I didn't get any sleep and I couldn't get any friends who wanted to stay at my house I was stuck there home alone for a very long Sleepless weekend and it all started the day that my parents left I I think they took a an early weekend or something and left like on a Thursday morning so

when I got home from school the house was empty and that night I woke up to footsteps upstairs it sounded like somebody was walking across the upstairs family room but not stopping I grabbed a bat and walked out of my room expecting to find a thief or someone who broke in but instead all I found was an empty room I didn't sleep that night the following evening I was upstairs and my friends had just left and I was home alone again I remember that I was sitting upstairs and I heard a a loud boom it

sounded like something really big had fallen over like something really heavy I jumped up and started to call out for my friends Chris and Mike I thought that it was them just playing a prank on me I ran upstairs and most of the lights were off the front door was locked and nothing had fallen over I searched every window and door I searched the whole house pretty much and everything was locked and secured and there was nothing a Miss I barricaded my room that night and locked myself inside later that night though my girlfriend called

me and we talked a bit I didn't tell her what was going on because I didn't want her to think that I was just some kid afraid to be home alone but during that conversation I heard really loud footsteps outside I got really quiet and she was on the phone asking me what was going on then she said what is that noise I said you can hear that I said that I'd been hearing that all night and she said to get out of the house now I told her no that it happened a lot she

stayed with me on the phone until about 4:00 in the morning and eventually she just fell asleep I started to fall asleep again too but then the footsteps started up again when I left my room at about 7: in the morning I walked downstairs and found that one of the lights that I had left on and I know that I had left that one on it was now off I quickly checked to see if the bulb had burnt out but no it had been switched off the final night I was home alone I had grabbed

my dad's shotgun and kept it in my room with me I was absolutely terrified it was about 3:00 a.m. I was startled awake by what sounded like the garage door from the garage to the house you know the regular door not the big garage door and it honestly sounded like somebody just slammed it full force and at that I was absolutely sure that someone had broken into our house now it made sense our car was gone and the house looked empty so I grabbed the shotgun put a shell in it and walked down my hallway

towards the stairway I turned on the lights for the front room and there was a switch for it at the top of the stairs the front room was empty so I slowly made my way down the stairs and went over to the garage door the door was locked I looked at the front door and it was locked two I went to the kitchen turning on every light in the house room to room searching everywhere including closets under beds I mean you name it pantry and washroom everywhere I ended my search in my parents room which

was the furthest point in the downstairs and when I was in my parents bathroom I heard just above me footsteps right above my parents' room was the guest room upstairs I immediately ran upstairs shotgun pointing as I ran I burst that door open and found an empty room with an empty bed I don't know how I didn't pull the trigger when I bust open the door as my finger was on the trigger I was absolutely convinced that somebody else was in the home with me I know I know it's bad Trigger Discipline but like I

said I was expecting to find a murderer or a burglar in that room I cleared the house twice again looking absolutely Everywhere by the time the light started to appear outside I ended up upstairs sitting on a sofa with the TV on half asleep with the shotgun still loaded next to me I then emptied the gun and I put it back before my parents found me with it a while after that still having some odd things in the house like unexplained Shadows noises lights turning off and on I just sort of started to live with

it I guess one summer my dad wanted me to clean the garage and suggested that I use the attic above the garage to put the things that we didn't use anymore in there just boxes of like old financials old toys and luggage and whatnot but when I was up there I noticed something the attic above the garage was huge like almost another room but then there was a wall that sort of separated the garage wall to the house so I looked at it thinking that this isn't actually the back of the restroom or the guest

bedroom like it just didn't make sense I then jumped down out of the attic and went outside I'd never noticed this before but between the stairs and the areas that connect over the garage attic there was actually a huge space there on top of that there was a metal vent the exact same size as the guest bedroom window I went back inside the house looking for Clues and sure enough there was what appeared to be a void and at the top of the stairs I looked at the wall and thought wow there used to be

a door there I jumped up into the attic space above the garage and cut a hole into the drywall leading back to the back of the house I cut a hole big enough for my head to go through I looked inside and in there was a whole another bedroom that bedroom had its carpet ripped up but still the strips along the wall that held the carpet that was all still there and it had old yellow and pink wallpaper it looked like it used to be maybe a girl's room or something because one of the walls

the one that I cut through it was painted pink like Pepto bismal pink I enlarged the hole big enough to climb into it and found an old table likee bed side table old beer cans an old empty pack of cigarettes and just trash like crumpled up newspapers I had asked my parents if they knew about the room and my dad was kind of upset with me for cutting into the drywall I had told him that there's another bedroom and excited about finding it he said that he didn't want to open it and just leave it

alone I got the idea that somehow they knew about the extra bedroom but for whatever reason didn't want to open it or deal with it or something you see my parents were very strict religious people and any talk of ghosts hauntings or Spirits was opening up an invitation to the demons to enter the home I found out early on that I couldn't talk about things like noises Shadows or footsteps without facing their wrath even to my own siblings because they would rrap me out I was already on really thin ice for not living up to

their standards at this point but anyway but my parents had a longtime foster kid who was just a few weeks younger than me and one time I had found her sitting upstairs alone and at first I thought that she had just gotten into trouble due to the way that she looked it was like she was pale and almost in tears I walked by and said something like oh um what did you do what happened she looked at me shaking and said nothing I said why are you crying she said I'm just scared and I asked

her why and she said that she couldn't tell me I thought that it had something to do with the reason that why she was a foster kid or something I said oh okay I understand but as I was walking away she said do you think that there are ghosts I stopped dead in my tracks and looked at her like what did you just say she looked scared and started to be like oh nothing nothing never mind I came over to her and sat next to her and said have you been hearing things or seeing things

in this house she looked at me like in shock and scared to say anything like if she did she'd get in trouble with my parents or something I whispered to her though that I know what you mean but we have to keep this a secret I wasn't sure what my parents would do if they found out that we were talking like this so we sat upstairs Whispering together and sharing our experiences she confirmed that she sees Shadows outside of her bedroom window she hears footsteps she notices lights turning off and on and she thought that

she was going crazy or making it up in her head I told her about all of my experiences and how the same things happened to me I even told her about the times that I was home alone and well not too long after this all went down and my parents parents had to rush out of our Old Town due to a family emergency and had said that my oldest sibling was going to come over and stay with me and the foster kid by that time I was like 16 so I knew it was mainly because

of the foster kid so I just agreed my parents ended up having to spend the night near the hospital or something but they didn't make it back home and my older sibling flaked on coming over so I was home alone with this foster kid now my parents had foster kids since I was a baby so I grew up in that situation I knew how to handle it I guess is what I'm getting at we ate dinner I I think it was microwave corn dogs chips and sodas that night and she went to her bedroom as

her bedtime was like 8:45 or something and I stayed upstairs watching TV to be honest I was kind of glad that she was in the home with me because at least there was one other person in the house but I think it was around midnight she ran upstairs and asked if she could sleep on the sofa next to me I instantly knew that something had happened so I agreed but being the typical teenager boy I gave her a bit of stick for it you just want to watch TV or get away with things when mom

and dad are away don't you but deep down I knew what she was going through we both ended up sleeping on the sofa and well it was a sectional so she slept on one side and I slept on the other I woke her up at like 6:00 in the morning and told her to run down to her room is I didn't want my parents to see us sleeping like that not that anything happened but you know most of my high school friends knew about my house too and for some it became a popular place to

come and check out most of the time when they were there nothing really ever happened well there was this one time though my dad was working out of town and my mom and sister and foster kids were out late with church people I think I was home alone and a couple of my friends came over over and we were watching TV upstairs we decided to raate the fridge at one point we were all downstairs and since we had paused the movie on the VHS but we were downstairs and like I said upstairs had no noise

from the TV but we all looked at each other together as we heard the footsteps walking across the room just above our heads my friends could barely believe it but I said yeah that's right that's the footsteps that I hear all the time they were all a little bit scared but they thought that there had to be someone up there so I said come back upstairs and I'll show you I showed them and after that one by one they all wanted to get out of the house especially one of the girls who was panicked so

bad that she fell twice running out of the house now this was all before Google and the internet like we know it today so I had to go to the public library to look for anything about our old house and I pretty much found nothing I remember I even had to ask the librarian if there was a way to look up if somebody died in a house and her reaction to me was like I was a stupid kid just annoying her I knew that one of the homes in the block that my parents had once

mentioned that there was an old guy that lived there one of the oldest apparently since the' 60s so I found out which neighbor that was and decided to go and talk to him one evening he was working on something in his garage so I went over and started talking to him about the city history and how it used to look when he first moved in then once I got him talking enough where I felt comfortable I asked him if something ever happened in my house he was at first like what do you mean and I

said well like if anybody had died there he stopped what he was doing and said well what have you heard I said nothing but told him about the closed up room and I didn't tell him about the Paranormal stuff obviously but just said that it would make sense if something happened there he looked at me very serious and said well a long long time ago there was an accident and the family had teenage and older kids living in that house but the accident involved a family member who didn't live at the house apparently he wouldn't

go into details except that he said maybe ask my parents about it because surely they know more than him then he changed the subject and didn't want to tell me more about it and to this day I never found out what actually happened or if even anything actually did happen in that house or to somebody who lived at that house sometimes I do wish that I had more answers but other times maybe maybe I'm better off not knowing I live in a very rural town in Australia I have a close nit group of about maybe

four to five friends and we hang out all the time on this specific day I was at my friend's house about 2 days before this her family came home and all the doors were wide open yet nothing was taken this family isn't one to leave their doors open by any means specifically to in this town where crime runs rampant pretty much no one does anyway on the day that I was over my two friends Alysa and Mike were there me and Mike were over at Alyssa's just hanging out on our phones when the front door

banged open we all looked at each other but brushed it off as the wind slamming the door in hindsight wind would not be able to reach this door as it was pretty much in a little covering I don't know how to explain it but you sort of walk up the stairs and there's a little little room and there's the front door maybe 2 minutes later as well the two sliding back doors slammed very loudly we again brushed it off to not scare ourselves we're kind of dumb but anyway then we heard loud noises inside the

house and footsteps running around their noisy wooden floor obviously this is where alarm Bell started firing in my head I was thinking about how someone had already been there and wondering if this was the same in person or people we jumped up and me and Alyssa held the bedroom door closed her room doesn't have a lock Alyssa suggested that we call the police I didn't think that it was a good idea but as I'm holding the door someone starts running and slams into her door at this point it was definitely time to call the police

they pick up try to talk to Alyssa a little difficult because she's balling her eyes out now eventually the operator understood and within less than 2 minutes police are at the door these police officers were really kind and just asked about the situation before saying we found the kid I thought that they meant that the person that broke in so I asked them about the kid the police looked confused and said the missing 5-year-old we had no clue that there was even a missing child on the loose the police officer said that there was about

40 cars looking for this kid and many police knocking on doors to ask if someone had seen her while I think the police were kind their reasoning for breaking into this house was absolutely crazy they said that it was probably a police officer running in and looking for the kid we all looked confused and then he realized what he had said and backtracked saying that they should have announced themselves though but I just don't know the whole thing is really sketchy and really weird it was also a pretty scary experience with the police officers trying

to calm us down but after talking about it with my friends whoever broke in probably saw Alyssa's mom leaving the house with two teens in the back so they thought that the house was empty Alyssa has a brother so altogether they have three in the house but to this day her brother had a friend over and they were driving somewhere apparently well that's what they said anyway it was a really weird experience and to be quite honest I still really don't know what to think about [Music] it I a 19-year-old female have had this friend

19-year-old male who I've known for many years but was never really close to recently coming back from uni for summer I went back home and stayed with my parents there really isn't much to do in my hometown and except for hang out with friends and smoke and drink so that's exactly what I did while hanging out with my friends I ran into the guy his name is saf and saf has always seemed like a a chill guy typical 19-year-old guy who studies business living off of Daddy's money since he comes from a wealthy family and

as soon as we reconnected we developed a closer friendship we started hosting at his house and my friends and I would go when we smok he frequently brought up his fantasies of killing and eating someone of course all of us being high would just laugh at off and considered it to be shock humor however he would never laugh while making these jokes and we my friends had agreed that he was pretty creepy but we chalked it up to him just being too high that is until I started hanging out with him alone we have a

pretty small friend group group that hangs out nearly every day saf and I stay out pretty late after everyone's left usually until the sun comes up which is how we got so close because it would just be us at the end of the night and he would drive me home on one of those nights though we were with a group of friends and we decided that we would take some edibles for context we were at saf's House 3 hours into it when all of us are pretty gone saf starts going on a tangent about how

it would feel to pluck someone 's eyeballs out he starts going into detail and my other friend asked him to stop talking because it was making him uncomfortable he always did this but this time he really went into detail explaining imagery Etc someone quickly changed the subject and the night went on about an hour later my friend and I decided to look at the fridge for the munchies as we look in the fridge for stuff to eat I feel someone put their arm around my neck and I feel something quite heavy putting pressure on it

and as I look down I realized saf is holding a knife to my neck and holding my other friend with his other free hand what are you guys doing he asks keep in mind we are all very high at this point so I start laughing it off and going along with what I thought was a joke as my friend and I answer him I realized that he hasn't pulled the knife off of my neck yet and that he was in fact holding it closer to the point where I started to cough thankfully the knife was

very dull but it was still a massive kitchen knife as soon as I realized that he isn't letting go I let out a scream nothing too loud or alarming I was hoping that he would also assume that I was joking he then lets go and he walks away the night goes on and we quickly forget about what happened saf offers to drive my friend and I home at the end of the night when everybody's left my friend and I didn't have a car or money so we accepted on the drive home we stopped at a

red light he had made my friend get out and check if the car was damaged because he had seen someone bump into it while driving neither my friend and I saw this but my friend got out of the car anyway and checks as he tries to open the back door to get in the car again saf locks it the light has now turned green and thank God it was only 5:00 a.m. because there was only two or three other cars around but they all started beeping and swerving as to not hit the car or my

friend as my friend and I are yelling for him to open the door he drives a couple of inches forward putting the tire on my friend's foot he then unlocks the door and watches my friend yell at him for being trapped under the tire I look over to saf and I see him hysterically laughing and putting the current to reverse for my friend to get in once we get back into the road he starts driving like crazy which isn't n unusual I guess for him but he was a lot more Reckless that night now before

you all judge me for staying friends with such a weird and dangerous man keep in mind that it had never been this bad before he just said really weird stuff every now and then but I honestly thought that it was an intrusive thoughts thing I struggle with mental health and have the most violent weird intrusive thoughts myself so I thought that that was it and as for the night I've mentioned we were all really high edible so so although I was very weirded out I thought that he must have just been super high and so

was I so I convinced myself that I was just overreacting then one night we go to a party together and we then go back into the car for another party that we were going to but on the way we realized that it had been cancelled saf then asked if I wanted to go back to his house eat something watch a movie and smoke it was really early in the night so I I agreed knowing that I wouldn't be asleep for a while we pull up he tells me to make myself comfortable and he's going to

cook us some pasta so I sit down turn on a movie and wait he comes back into the movie I start feeling very ill I mention this to saf and he says that it's probably just because I drank but I only drank very little at the party which was around 3 hours ago at this point and haven't thrown up or felt nauseous from alcohol in years as time goes on and I keep feeling worse and practically beg him to take me home he refuses because he is in his house however this is the first time

that he's ever declined to take me home mind you and at this point I get a really bad feeling along with the sickness and my body decided that I just had to get out of there I thankfully had some money with me so I ordered a cab and I just went home in the cab on the way I started vomiting out the window because of how much pain my stomach was in I get home and I just collapse but I'm unable to fall asleep because of how much pain that I'm in and then I started

thinking about all of the times that he had mentioned the desire to kill someone and to eat them he always talked about how he would eat girls thighs Because he believes it would be the juiciest part how he would only eat a girl and not a boy since that uh I've kept my distance but I've been fighting with myself internally asking did I get poisoned or did I just drink too much is he a psychopath or just a little bit weird I truly don't know so if you have any advice then that would be much

appreciated as I've mentioned I've been friends with him for years and developed a close relationship and I do love him as a friend just not enough to get [Music] [Music] eaten so I'm sharing this because I absolutely do not understand what's going on in my apartment at the moment to give a little bit of info about myself I'm the sort of person that likes everything in its place and I'm very organized I moved into this apartment maybe 5 months ago now and it's not in a a great area of my city for example just down

the street there's a lot of drug dealing and muggings Etc but anyway 5 months ago I moved into this apartment the neighbors are never there there's just the owner an old man of maybe about 70 years old who lives in the apartment just above mine and the first month was completely normal except for the atmosphere in the neighborhood of course which was really bad and quite worrying but I digress the foll month however I noticed that things had moved in my house at first it was a book not put back in its place or one

of my clothes on my desk chair in my room at first I thought that it was me who had moved it and that the move and classes I had I must have shuffled it around or something but the more the week went by the stranger that it got until a week ago when I went back to my room and my bed was unmade which is absolutely impossible with me I've been doing it every morning since I was 10 I've spoken to my landlord about it and he says that I'm probably in over my head so

he doesn't want to help me so I'm asking all of you if you guys have any clues or solutions to find out what's going on I have a sneaking suspicion though that somebody has access to my place and is coming in when when I'm not [Music] around in 2017 I had heard news of people dressing up as clowns and running around with knives at night I typically brush these sorts of things off though because honestly I have my own problems I a 20-year-old female was often up all hours of the night dealing with my screaming

newborn it was January to February I think so we still had some snow and I wasn't able to get out of the house often taking out the trash which is located right out the back door was usually the most I got out of fresh air one morning I took out the trash and happened to glance over to the right and notice Footprints directly under my window to my baby's room I walked over to inspect it and not only were there Footprints but there were also hand indentations on the window window screen weird but baby slept

in my room so I wasn't too concerned at that moment but my boyfriend was losing his marbles over it anyway fast forward a couple of days and I was up around 3:00 in the morning and heard not exactly what I would call screaming but more of a a screeching ow sort of sound we have lots of stray cats though so I just thought that that's what it was and ignored it once the sun was up I looked looked out the window and noticed a few sets of footprints that really didn't make any sense because it

kind of looked like someone had just been passing in between houses but again I just sort of blew it off because we had a drug house across the street and we have had people cross through our yard before to get to that house so maybe it was just that now maybe about 4 nights later again at 3: in the morning I'm breastfeeding and hear a dragging noise against the house and from where I was sitting on my couch I could see the back door the back door has a window with blinds on it and doesn't

really seal well due to Wood rod on the frame but I paused the TV and listened just to hear it again now directly at the back door looking over I can clearly see a a looming figure now just standing in the window and I can also see that they're holding one of those big kitchen knives and granted the blinds were shut so I'm seeing just the creepy Shadow version of this but it was clear he runs the knife across the window panes before softly knocking meanwhile I'm trying to figure out what to do with a

newborn latched on because my phone is in the bedroom and something in me doesn't want whoever is out there out of my vision so I stand up and readjust because I really didn't want a screaming baby right then and walk into the kitchen and flick on the light and then said just loud enough for for him to hear me hey man I already called the police and I'm sure you don't want to deal with them so why don't you just go home I don't know why I talk to him so calm and normal like but

I don't think that he was expecting anyone to say anything because he froze the moment that I began talking he talked it over with himself for a minute and darted down toward the alleyway I never did have anything like that happen again but my boyfriend sure was mad that I didn't wake him up to handle the situation or at least actually call the police all I can put my calm demeanor down to is that I was just sleep deprived but man I sure was creeped out once I realized what had actually [Music] happened this happened

when I was about 14 or 15 and I often stayed over at my cousin and her husband's house their named a Skyler and Josh so I'd been staying at their house for a week straight prior to the incident with no issues it was in the summertime in a neighborhood that was pretty rapidly expanding you know those sort of monochrome Suburban nightmare cuer hacks there were tons of half finished houses lining the far end of the neighborhood and I feel that this information is pretty important to the story anyways Josh and I are Aid movie Watchers

and stayed up late most nights watching whatever looked good that night Skyler went to bed early and we stayed up to watch would you rather then ridiculous 6 movie sucks by the way but semi-important context is that Josh is a smoker and he goes out to the back patio for a cigarette every so often especially at night when he takes their big old banjo out to pee so I end up sleeping through the movie on one of their two couches this couch is backed against a wall and to the left of it is a window

into the backyard it's the only window in the living room and at some point I keep hearing banjo whooping and hollering in the playroom then again in the kitchen then the playroom and so on and so forth the dog is going crazy in literally every room of the first floor but he's a clingy dog that hated when Skyler and Josh shut him out of their room so I figured that he was just whining he's also a beagle so we're used to him being pretty vocal in hindsight I I probably should have wondered why he was

running from room to room though but whatever I tried to sleep through it and after a good while of banjo flipping out in what I think is the kitchen he kind of just goes quiet but he wakes me up again growling at the window right next to the couch that I'm sleeping on he was just not being still I still don't get up though I fall back to sleep for a bit then out of nowhere he jumps on the couch right on my stomach and again starts losing it barking and Howling but that wasn't what

woke me up though it was the light shining from outside the window right in my face I was scared at first more confused than anything since my eyes haven't adjusted at this point then the flashlight shines up right onto the man's face and he looks identical to Josh could have been twins in fact he's crouched down with his face almost against up on the glass and when I see him I jump really hard I don't remember if I screamed but the man starts laughing at me and I can hear it from the other side of

the window however because I'm big stupid I assume it's Josh on a smoke break just trying to Spook me I start walking upstairs and pass by the kitchen clock and it's 4 in the morning I didn't even put two and two together that Josh has no reason to be outside awake at this hour I'm so groggy but also unnerved at this point so I just go to sleep on the upstairs hallway floor I didn't go and alert Skyler of what had just happened mostly because she's just really cranky when you wake her up and I

was still more than willing to accept the idea that it was Josh being an idiot on a smoke break rather than some Maniac scoping at the house anyway the next afternoon I bring it up to them and they sort of ride it off and ask me if I'm sure that I wasn't dreaming Etc but they did say that they heard the dog going wild I check outside where the window is to see if the man dropped any evidence of him being there and I kind of wanted to vomit because the Tall Grass along the house

was now pressed down like someone had been on their knees there I don't know how long the man was sitting there for the grass to have been pressed down like that but still I have a feeling that it must have been pretty long because banjo Sat by that window for a hot minute and the flashlight is the only thing that woke me up I'm glad that I saw the grass though because it felt like such a fever dream that I just wasn't sure up until then sometimes I I still wonder if it actually happened but

deep down I know that it did my theory is that some squatter in those unfinished houses was either bored or on something and decided to go on an adventure but the one thing that I cannot explain is why the guy looked so much like Josh like isn't that [Music] weird so I grew up in Appalachian Pennsylvania and I spent a lot of time in the woods just enjoying nature my buddies and I had a a night game too that we used to play where we'd dress in black and then send someone out with a 15-minute

Head Start and then going home hunt them their goal was to hide and separate us from the group and capture people in The Hunting Party at which point the captured person switch teams it was sort of like a capture the flag but with less rules I guess we would always play on this private land so that we would be assured that we wouldn't run into anyone who wasn't supposed to be there but anyway one day we sent out our runner and then we The Hunters went out to find them after the requisite amount of time

the game this time was being held in the wooded Ravine with a flat creek bottom that was about 3 to 400 m away from a house that we were staying with the grassy field between the house and the gorge the last we saw Dennis our runner went into the gorge we crossed the field and had made it to the edge of the Ravine and posted up on the rim we stopped to listen because we were positioned quite well and you could see and here pretty far we sat there for maybe 10 minutes before we began

to hear things at first it sounded like a I don't know like a far away noise of a a woman vocalizing gently then a murmur began of what sounded like more women I looked at my friends and we were obviously confused because we thought that maybe there was an illegal keger party or something happening when all of a sudden the Ravine exploded with the sound with those same women screaming it was an inhuman type of noise and it was sort of in a chorus almost it was not just one voice but dozens of wailing howls

and my blood instantly ran cold nobody spoke we all just took off and we ran we booked it as hard as we could back to the house and across the field we make it halfway through when Dennis erupts from an ambush to catch us because he thinks the game is still on we all evade and just keep running past and he sees the fear and after standing there confused used a minute he follows behind we made it to the house we shut the windows locked the doors and just sat there scared the next morning we

hiked back out but we just never found anything I female and 52 at the time was traveling by car to an out of town job assignment I had stopped at a a popular and busy gas station or travel stop to fill up the car stretch my legs use the restroom and grab a snack I was approached by a developmentally disabled woman who appeared to be in her maybe mid-20s she was looking for a ride to a town a couple of towns over her ride had abandoned her while she was in the restroom apparently she was

a little upset she didn't have a cell phone and she didn't know any phone numbers so so I could call someone for her I checked with the employees at the store and they said that she had been there for an hour looking for a ride because she said that her friends left her while she was in the restroom I then made the decision to do something that honestly I've never done before offer a stranger a ride I wasn't going to the town that she wanted to go to but I was heading in that direction and

I told her that I could drop her off at the grocery store in the next town over where I would be turning off to go to my destination the grocery store was always busy and it was very likely that she'd have an easier time getting a ride to where she wanted to go there also she'd be 5 miles away from where she wanted to go instead of 25 miles and she'd have an easier time walking that distance if she had to this was agreeable to her and so we set off right away though I noticed

a van following us I tried to lose the van but it kept pace meanwhile the woman wanted to play with my phone I told her know that it wasn't a toy it was for work and I moved it out of her reach the van speeds up and starts to get closer the woman suddenly remembers her boyfriend's phone number and we need to call him I can't use my phone while driving this was prear sync voice activated operation and I was approaching the outskirts of the business district of the next town and no cell phone use

while driving signs everywhere I told her that we're almost at the grocery store that we can call him from the parking lot when we get there she becomes agitated and yells no you have to take me home I told you that I can't do that I'm not going there it's in the opposite direction of where I need to go and I'm expected soon look we'll call him from the parking lot okay she becomes even more upset said and frustrated and the van is getting closer now too I pull into the grocery store parking lot it's

about 4:00 p.m. the grocery store is busy I pull up in front of the store and ask for the boyfriend's number she suddenly can't remember his number she won't get out of the car either she's arguing with me and the van is pulling into the parking lot now there's a sheriff's deputy park nearby and I roll down my window and signal that I need to speak to him he walks over and asks me what's going on I tell him where I met the woman and now she won't get out of the car and under my

breath I tell him that the van has been following us the deputy tells the woman look she brought you where you asked her to it's time for you to leave her car now she slowly gets out of the car and I ask once more for her boyfriend's number and she says you're crazy I don't have a boyfriend oh look there's my friends now and and she points to that same van the deputy and I share a look and he says give me your contact info I can delay them for about 20 minutes while I check

their license and registration and lecture them about abandoning a special needs adult you get out of here and I'll check on you before my shift is over and don't pick up any more hitchhikers okay I left and went to my destination he called me to make sure that I got to where I was going and told me that they were keeping an eye on the van and its owner he told me that he also contacted a colleague at the sheriff's department in the county where I was working and that she would contact me in a

day or two while I was on assignment there I spoke to two deputies and a detective about the woman in the van no one ever really told me anything about them but they were very interested in them for whatever reason my nightmare though is that one day I'll turn on a True Crime show and see a report about this woman and her gang robbing and killing people or something I'm grateful that the deputy was there because without him I really don't know what would have happened
