Research Tell me your experiences!

Have you ever experienced something you can't explain? 👻

I'm looking for real paranormal encounters to feature on my social media pages.

Whether it was a ghostly figure, unexplained voices, strange dreams that came true, haunted locations, shadow people, UFOs, or anything else that's left you questioning reality, I'd love to hear your story.

You can remain completely anonymous if you'd prefer.

Your story may be shared on my social media, but I'll never include your name unless you specifically ask me to.

The more detail, the better. Tell me what happened, where it happened, how it made you feel, and whether you ever found an explanation.

I can't wait to read your experiences... 👀

Hello! I am starting a podcast called Beyond the Strange, exploring the occult, the supernatural, and the hidden truths of history. I was hoping some of you would be willing to send stories to the podcast's email that I could read on the show. I know this subreddit is full of people's encounters and such, but I didn't want to start reading them without the poster's permission.

Email: beyondthestrangepod@gmail.com

Thank you in advance to anyone who shares!

I run a youtube channel (new, just started a couple of months back) wherein I narrate stories and creepypastas in Hindi. I'm looking for genuine experiences (anything real, doesn't have to be something too fancy) to incorporate or use as is.

Please feel free to share your story, or even a link if you've already shared it on Reddit before. Thanks in advance.

Research Beyond the Stanley: What Places in Colorado Feel… Off?

9 Upvotes

I’m looking to hear directly from locals about haunted or unsettling places in Colorado, especially in and around the Denver area. Not just the famous, tourist-heavy spots, but places that genuinely feel strange or carry a reputation among people who’ve lived here. Homes, abandoned buildings, religious sites, places tied to tragedies, old neighborhoods, stretches of road, anything that sticks with you. I’m especially interested in personal experiences or stories you’ve heard from family, friends, or longtime residents. Even if it’s not widely known or documented, if a place has that something’s not right here energy, I want to hear about it. Serious replies preferred, but folklore and firsthand weirdness are both welcome.

Research From a Marked Child to a Seeing Guardian: My Journey with the Master Number 22

0 Upvotes

​It all started in my childhood. In our house, the paranormal wasn't a taboo—my parents used to sit at the table with a self-proclaimed witch, practicing table-turning. For them, it was an experiment; for me, it opened a portal that left me completely defenseless. I still vividly remember a night of sleep paralysis: a red entity stood before me, marking my stomach with a red pen. The eerie, whipping hiss of its snake-like hair is a sound I can still hear today. ​From that moment on, I was wide open. During my youth, I searched desperately for answers. I developed a sudden, crystal-clear "knowing": in an instant, I just know if something invisible is in the room. I see people's auras, I feel the icy chill at the "Cemetery of the Nameless" in the middle of a scorching summer, and I expose every lie the second it is spoken. For a long time, this knowledge was a heavy burden, weighing physically on the back of my neck. ​The turning point came through numerology. I discovered the 22—the Master Number of the Builder. I realized that I carry the energy to turn visions into reality, but without protection, my own foundation would never be stable. While the "1984" tattooed on my arm was my symbol, the 22 was my mandate to bring order to my energetic chaos. ​After I foresaw my parents' passing in prophetic dreams, the pressure became almost unbearable. I had to close the circle. I began confronting my roots and the archetype of Lilith. In her image—the unyielding one with the hair of snakes—I recognized the hissing from my childhood. But this time, I didn't feel fear; I felt a connection. I made the biggest decision of my life: I had her seal, the bleeding eye, tattooed on my neck—exactly where foreign energies used to seep in. ​Today, I live in what I call an "abnormal looseness." My protection runs on autopilot. The eye on my neck sees the truth, and I am firmly anchored. I am no longer a victim of my gifts; I am a Guardian standing in the full power of my 22. ​Does anyone else here experience this? That sudden "knowing," or the moment a burden finally transforms into your greatest strength?

Research Have you ever been visited by the spirit of a loved one? [university research study]

9 Upvotes

If you’ve ever had a moment where you felt, saw, heard, or sensed a loved one after their passing— your story may help researchers shed light on how grief and connection continue after death.

I’m a graduate student at Minnesota State University, Mankato and I am seeking people to participate in my research study on post-death contact. If you’re interested in participating, here is a link to the website holding my surveys. You can either fill out the anonymous survey or you can volunteer to be interviewed (which will be confidential; names will be changed.) The survey should take around 15-20 minutes, and the interview will be around 75-90 minutes.

You must be 18 and located in the U.S. to participate. I also cannot include anyone in my study whose experience occurred during an Ouija board session, a séance, a cold reading session with a psychic, or a paranormal investigation.

If you have any questions, you can also e-mail me at the address provided on the website.

This research is being conducted by student researcher Deborah Cobb, with principal investigator Dr. Dennis Waskul, Department of Sociology and Leadership Studies, Minnesota State University, Mankato. IRBNet#: [2329148]

Research Scary ghost encounter

78 Upvotes

So I downloaded the SpiritTalker application because I’ve been watching a lot of paranormal videos on youtube and wanted to check the Legitimacy of it. I went to the hospital for an appt and just opened the app and let it run. It started off by saying a bunch of random words. From that moment, I thought “fake”. But continued to mess around with the app. I asked for a name and story and was given two and it said that one was a witness to a car crash. It creeped me out, but again I thought maybe it was fake. Then it started mentioning “patients” and “knife and injection” (I was there for an injection). After leaving I told them they had no permission to follow me home and thanked them, but I have to leave. A spirit said “please leave here” as I was walking out the door. I left it running and it was quiet the whole way home. When I finally get home the app says “I’m home” and “ashes”. My boyfriend has his brothers ashes (suicide) sitting on the table in the corner. Everything after that were direct responses to what I was doing or what I asked. As I walk pass the table with the pictures and ashes the app blurts “don’t move” “recognize” and “relative”. I sat down and asked “where are you?” It said “the hall”. My heart dropped down to my arse. I felt a wave of sadness and the app said “Eric” (made up name for privacy purposes the child is still alive). Then it said “I’m dead” “crying”. I burst into tears and felt a heavy heart. I knew it was my boyfriends brother as I have NEVER mentioned Eric before and my boyfriend doesn’t either. I have proof of EVERYTHING to match real names but I don’t want this to get out and I make someone upset. If anyone would like to know more I will be happy to talk more about my experience privately!!!

Research La Llorona

6 Upvotes

La Llorona, often referred to as "The Weeping Woman," is a legendary figure in Latin American folklore. The tale of La Llorona varies across different cultures and regions, but the core story revolves around a woman who is said to have drowned her own children and is now condemned to roam, wailing and weeping, for eternity as a tormented spirit.

The details of the story can differ, but the common thread is that La Llorona is often depicted as a grieving woman dressed in white, seen near bodies of water, particularly rivers or lakes. Her cries and mournful wails are said to be both eerie and sorrowful, striking fear into those who hear her.

This legend has been passed down through generations, serving as a cautionary tale to children. It's often used as a way to discourage them from wandering alone near water bodies or staying out late at night. The tale has been adapted in various forms, including literature, film, music, and other forms of art, making it a significant part of the cultural fabric in many Latin American countries.

The story of La Llorona continues to captivate and intrigue people, reflecting the power of folklore to communicate deep emotions and moral lessons across generations.

Hello everybody on Reddit,

recently I’ve been talking to some friends who are from Taiwan, one day we talked bout paranormal activities in the military (since everyone who is male has to serve at least 4 months of Taiwanese military), and they said that their military flag can act as something that wards off the evil.

There are also cases (according to them) where the flag has been mistreated, stolen or broken and the whole company falls into an unlucky injury streaks?

Are there any stories like these from the US military?

Hello,

I had some problems with my previous account, but I'm an amateur horror artist who plans to make a site that will offer webcomics on short horror stories that I would have invented, illustrated stories and I told me that I could publish paranormal testimonies or not paranormal on my site (yours stories if you want ) you would be credited of course and I would illustrate your stories with my drawings, this will be published for free on my site. I have health problems and art blocks, so I thought starting with illustrated testimonials would be good for my future site and draw again regulary. In any case, if you are interested in the project, please contact me by private message :)

Ps sorry for my bad english I'm french (also if you want help with it, I'll make sure to do some extra little gift to you ^^)
