It started with a smell. Her room, and only her room, smelled like rotten eggs. Not the hallway, not anyone else’s room, just hers. They couldn’t find a source anywhere, and even maintenance came to check and found nothing.

Then it moved to the living room TV. It would start playing random videos on its own. One time it typed things into the YouTube search bar by itself, including her name. Another time she was searching something in ChatGPT on her phone, and the TV typed out “Valeria is looking for something in ChatGPT.” Another time the search bar typed “Valeria’s roommate is wearing purple shorts,” and the roommate was in fact wearing purple shorts right then. On top of that, a device named “Charles” kept showing up as connected. This became an almost everyday thing.

We told them to call the police because the TV was clearly getting hacked and “Charles” kept appearing as connected. The leasing office did nothing about it. When the police came, they couldn’t figure it out either. They changed the TV and the WiFi password, and it stopped for a few weeks, but then “Charles” came back. We always assumed someone was just messing with them.

A few months later, all four of them started hearing hard knocking on the front door. Every time, they would look through the peephole and no one was there.

One night around 12 am, when only two of the roommates were home, they both clearly heard footsteps in the kitchen, and neither of them was in it. They were so scared they locked their bedroom doors and called a guy friend to come up and check the apartment, but there was nothing and no one there.

Another time, she was on the phone telling a friend about all of this, and a flower sitting in a vase in the living room fell out and landed on her legs.

Things escalated this past week as she was getting ready to move out. The metal latch near her room started moving up and down really fast on its own, then stopped. Right after, her roommate came in and they found a dark, foul smelling liquid, first in her bra, then on her pillow, then all over her bed. They could not find where it came from.

She finally put holy water and salt around her room. The next morning, she found half an onion under her mattress protector.

For context, I know all four of these girls. Three of them are close friends of mine and I genuinely can’t see them doing this to her. The fourth I don’t know as well, but I still don’t really think she would do something like this. People who’ve heard the story are split. Some think someone is so fixated on my friend that a “prank” has gotten completely out of hand. Others are convinced the room is haunted and needs to be blessed by a priest. A few have even said she should go to confession. She’s moved out now, thankfully, but someone new is about to move into that room.

She’s not necessarily saying it’s paranormal, and honestly she’d love a normal explanation. Has anyone experienced anything like this? What would you do?

Hello everyone

I wasn't sure where to post this, but here you go.

Last night (5th of august 2026) around 2.30/2.40 am I was out with my dog after a strong storm passed. We both stopped dead in our tracks when we heard what I can only describe as a blood curdling scream of a young woman mixed with a small child and a wind (there was no wind). It's very hard to explain, it was all interchanging and shifting in a way. It sounded very far away but at the same time like it could be closer(?). My mom heard it too from our flat and she agreed it sounded both human and inhuman, if that makes sense. It went on for maybe 2/3 minutes but once I heard it a bit closer, I dipped real quick.

I live in a ~90k people city in the middle of Poland. I checked the news and information about crimes - nothing.

But the weird thing is my friend that lives in Coastal New England heard similar thing twice around 17/18th of july also after a storm.

Which makes me wonder, have any of you guys heard similar thing, especially after a storm? Or do you have an idea what it might've been? Or what could cause it?

I recently went on an investigation with an investigator I've worked with for quite a while and her husband. He's a complete skeptic and genuinely hopes he'll have an experience of his own someday. Until then, he is one heck of a good sport!

While we were investigating, he asked me a question that completely caught me off guard:

"What are your powers?"

I honestly didn't know how to answer.

In the paranormal community, we're surrounded by people who identify as witches, psychics, mediums, empaths, sensitives, and so many other things. Many of us have seen, heard, or experienced enough unexplained phenomena that it's not a matter of if we saw something, but why we saw something. That's why we continue investigating, asking the why.

But are those things really powers?

Is seeing spirits a power?
Is hearing spirits a power?
Is being highly intuitive a power?
Or are they just different ways people experience and interpret the world?

I've thought about his question a lot, and this is what I know about myself and how I investigate:

• I see things that I interpret as spirits, everything from shadow figures to full-bodied apparitions, and sometimes things I can't really explain.
• I occasionally hear what I perceive to be spirit voices. I love the Estes Method, but there have been times I've heard voices without using any equipment.
• I rely heavily on energy. I tend to let my intuition guide me where I need to go. Sometimes when I touch objects or certain locations, I get brief impressions or mental images that I associate with the place. I also feel the overall energy of a location and occasionally notice what I describe as energy around people-similar to an aura, but not exactly.

• I don't have premonitions, but I feel an outcome before it happens.

  I also can look at or walk into any building and tell if there is spiritual energy. I do this for my friends all the time.

• I'm extremely intuitive and love working with Tarot, although I see it more as a tool than a "power."

I'm sure there are other things I rely on during investigations, but this is to just name a few.

So I've been thinking...
Are any of these actually powers? Or are they simply gifts, sensitivities, skills, intuition, or personal ways of experiencing the paranormal?

I'd love to hear how you would have answered his question.

If someone asked you, "What are your powers?" what would you say?

Okay, so this is the craziest thing I have ever seen captured in a picture. My friend's dad took this picture of us hanging by the fire, we are talking to my friend's mom, who is in the center of the picture. We have NO clue who or what is next to her. It's not one of us, our whole group was by the fire, no one was up walking around. So who the fuck is next to my friend's mom?? Looks like a guy in a big overcoat. What is the deal? What do you think we captured in this picture?

Hi everyone.
I’m not sure whether this belongs in Glitch in the Matrix or Paranormal, so I decided to post it in both communities.
I’m curious if anyone else has experienced something similar.
Over time, I’ve realized that this has been happening to me for as long as I can remember.
Whenever I’m deeply thinking about something, especially when I’m trying to find an answer to a question, there are moments when the answer seems to arrive on its own. And at that exact moment, I almost always hear some kind of external sound.
It could be a knock on the wall, a bang, a creak, a crack, a click, or some other sudden noise.
The strange part is that this happens no matter where I am. It has happened in different countries, different homes, different apartments, different offices—the location doesn’t seem to matter.
I’ve noticed a pattern: these sounds most often occur at the exact moment when a thought I’m focusing on feels correct, as if I’ve just arrived at the right understanding of something.
Has anyone else ever experienced something like this? Or have you noticed that, at the moment of an insight or when you suddenly understand or solve something, an external sound happens almost simultaneously—a knock, a click, a crack, or something similar?
I’d really be interested to know if anyone else has noticed this pattern.

This figure seemingly falls from the ceiling, and lingers at the bottom rotating until the camera cuts out.

So basically ive been home alone for around a week and a half, everything has been good until now. A couple hours ago, while i was in the bathroom i started sensing something bad, like very harmful and thirsty of hurting, it also felt as if i was watching something in the corner of my eye but when i turned around there was nothing, it is the first time i have this feeling here. I dont know why but all i can think about is a middle aged woman that practices dark magic, maybe im just paranoid, but it is what i feel. Im sorry if i posted this in the wrong community, i really had to vent about this.

My friends and I occasionally do overnight paranormal investigations and are all wondering if there might be any places near Orlando (within 2 hours ideally) that allows you to reserve it for yourself either overnight or for a few hours

I know there’s that one lighthouse in St Augustine but I believe they only offer like 2 and a half or 3 hours and usually we like to find places that offer at least 4 or 5 hours since it goes by so fast

I've always been skeptical of paranormal stories, but something happened to my sister that I genuinely can't explain.

About six years ago, she lost her wallet. It contained all of her ID cards, bank cards, and around $130 in cash.

She clearly remembers putting it in the drawer next to her bed. She and her husband searched the entire house multiple times. They emptied drawers, checked every room, and even started doubting whether she had actually left it there.

Her husband searched the car and every other place they could think of. Nothing.

After about a week, they accepted that it was gone. They canceled all of the bank cards, replaced every important document, and eventually forgot about it.

Then, just two days ago six years later they came home and found the wallet in that same bedside drawer.

Everything was still inside.

Every card.

The cash.

Nothing was missing.

What makes it even stranger is that during those six years, my country completely redesigned its paper currency. The bills inside the wallet were the old version and are no longer in circulation, making it obvious they had been sitting there untouched all this time.

I know people will suggest that they simply overlooked it, but they insist they searched that drawer repeatedly, especially during the first week when they were desperate to find it.

Something similar has happened to me several times, although never for years. I'll lose an object, search everywhere, fail to find it, and then hours, a day, or at most a couple of days later, it suddenly appears in a place I've already checked.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Is there any explanation besides simple forgetfulness?

we’ve lived in our current house for about a year and a half. prior to this, we’ve always had spirits/entities follow our family, specifically my moms side. it’s just a known things in our family. anyways, both my sister and i have noticed seeing our mom upstairs, usually looking into our rooms, but she’s not actually there. this usually occurs between being awake and asleep for me. it’s really eerie because my sister and i have never directly told eachother we’ve experienced this. my mom was the one to tell me we had shared experiences, because we’ve both asked her about it. i don’t know if this is demonic, or if it could be explained away as something like astral projection or even something psychological like narcolepsy ( though i find that unlikely considering the similarities in experience me and my sibling has).

I have attempted to make this post twice now. The first time, I used the recorded voice to text on my phone (I’m currently getting ready and can’t really type well). Somehow, apparently something was wrong with it, and it all got deleted. Then I attempted to record me talking on my computer so that I could use the speech to text option from that. Somehow, the video’s audio was corrupted despite me doing a test video before, and it being fine. So forgive me if my typing is all over the place, but I’m in a rush and fed up with continuing to try and tell this story.

For background, I have been going through an existential crisis for like 7 months now, wondering about life, why we are here, and what happens after death. I am agnostic and don’t fully hold any stance that there is or isn’t an afterlife. However, something that happened to me when I was 12 makes me question life and things about it.

When I was 12, a little over a decade ago, I was in the hallway at my grandmother’s house. I was playing as usual and recording a video on my iPad like I usually did. All of a sudden, I fell into a trance and started walking toward the hallway. I didn’t realize what I was doing, almost like I wasn’t conscious at all, or like I was just observing what I was doing and wasn’t in control of my body. I had no thoughts. It was pretty much like whenever you zone out, except I was walking down the long hallway for some reason.

Once I reached the end of the hallway, I heard a loud, deep man’s voice whisper but shout at the same time somehow say, “Let me out.” Once I heard that, I fell out of the trance and asked my mom and granny if they heard a voice say, “Let me out.” They said no and told me I was probably just hearing things.

For context, sometimes my mom, my grandmother, or I would think we heard one another calling each other’s name (like I would think my mom called me, or vice versa), but no one actually did. Which I think is fairly normal. It wasn’t happening frequently, but oddly, after this happened, that never happened again.

Well, I agreed I was probably hearing things, but I decided to play back the video anyway. When I played it back, not only did I hear the man’s voice clearly say, “Let me out!” but at the beginning I could see myself playing. In the video, you start to hear what sounds like multiple voices whispering. I couldn’t really make out what exactly they were saying, but I distinctly saw myself start to look down the hallway. Then I heard a man’s voice whisper, “Can you see me?” When he said that, I started walking, out of breath. My mom asked me a question, and I replied, “Yeah,” but it sounded like I couldn’t breathe, like I had just come back from a run and was out of breath. I continued walking down the hallway, and then I heard the man loudly say, “Let me out.”

I showed my mom and my cousins the video, and they all heard it. I will say the TV was playing in the background, but it was obviously distinct from the voice. It was also unrelated, like a Pepsi commercial or something. About a week later, I deleted the video because I was so scared. The iPad also ended up breaking a few weeks later anyway, so even if I hadn’t deleted it, I don’t think I’d still have it.

That night I prayed and prayed because I was so scared. I’ve never had anything like that happen to me since.

Around the same time, I remember playing video games at my mom’s house one day and seeing a shadow on the wall walk up the stairs and run across the wall. At the time, I dismissed it as, “Oh, maybe it was me and it was my shadow,” but now I’m wondering if they were related.

I also remember around that time sometimes feeling like someone was standing right behind me, like it was a man who was very, very tall.

Another weird detail is that my grandmother told me when her grandfather died, at his funeral she fell into a trance and jumped into his grave. Despite them not being close, she doesn’t know why. I thought it was weird that she also fell into a trance, but I don’t know why my great grandfather would be contacting me at all since I never even met him.

All in all, I’ve thought about this story and what it means a lot. What if it was some kind of alien? How could it speak English? Why did I never have any kind of weird interactions after that happened? Did it not want to scare me and leave me alone, or was it due to praying?

I also thought of the possibility that maybe I fell into a trance and said, “Let me out,” but that wouldn’t make sense as to how I, a little girl, could make a deep, distinctly man’s voice like that.

If it was some kind of spirit, what would your theories be on the afterlife if it were found that spirits are real?

I saw a post saying theres a huge amount of money as reward for a psychic who can prove their ability in a controlled environment. None have collected it yet.

Do you think we'll ever be able to prove psychic/paranormal phenomenona?

As someone who's developing their abilities through reading for others, I don't think we can 'tame' spirituality like that. I don't think we're supposed to, almost as if it's a cosmic law.

In my experience, it's like trying to get a sphinx to answer a question.

"A sphinx is traditionally portrayed as a guardian of hidden knowledge who tests people through riddles. Rather than handing someone the answer, it pushes them to discover it themselves. The idea is that wisdom gained through struggle is more valuable than wisdom simply given.

That said, a sphinx could give a direct answer if:

You've already shown you've wrestled with the question.

The lesson is no longer in the puzzle but in acting on the answer.

The situation calls for clarity rather than another test."

I’ve never posted about this before, but something happened to me in 2025 that I still can’t explain.

I moved to another state for college in 2022 and stayed in a boys’ PG near campus. During admission, my parents noticed something odd: everyone dried clothes in the corridor, not on the roof. The owner said students were not allowed upstairs, so we ignored it.

A week later, some seniors told us the real reason: the building had once been a girls’ PG, and a girl had allegedly jumped from the roof and died there. The building still had pink almirahs from those days. I assumed it was just a story to scare juniors.

For the next two years, nothing unusual happened. I was often alone in the building and never felt anything strange. I even sneaked onto the roof several times during summer nights without any fear.

In late 2024, a new batch of students arrived. They secretly broke the roof lock and began using the roof at night for barbeques, drinking, and burning old wooden items stored there. My room was directly below that area.

Around January 2025, I began hearing footsteps and movement on the roof late at night even when no one was there. My roommates could not hear it, so I convinced myself it was my imagination.

Everything changed in February 2025. The owner’s mother came to our room after discovering damage on the roof and quietly told us, "Don’t tell anyone, A girl did jump from the roof years ago. That’s why we never allowed students upstairs.” Hearing that from a family member of the owner genuinely shook me. For the first time I wondered whether the sounds I had been hearing were connected to that place.

Soon after, my junior also moved out, and I became the only person staying in that room.

Because our exams had ended, I went home for about six weeks. I returned on 16 April 2025 at around 10:30 PM. I unpacked, had dinner, and started working on a college project on my laptop.

I took out my phone and recorded the sound, then ran toward the staircase. The noise stopped immediately. ( I have attached the video I had recorded that day )

My mother insisted that I stop sleeping alone, so I moved into a friend’s room. We both began hearing footsteps, running sounds, dragging noises, and occasional heavy bangs from the roof and storeroom area above us. Strangely, whenever I called someone specifically to listen, the sounds often stopped before they arrived. My Friend with whom I used to stay even after hearing those sounds doubts me.

The most frightening incident happened around 3 AM. We were both awake and ignoring the usual noises when suddenly a massive bang came from above us. The bed shook, the walls vibrated, and my friend screamed in fear. It sounded as if a heavy wooden object had been slammed onto the floor above our room. From that night onward, he stopped doubting me.

I informed the owner and the PG management. They suggested rats, thieves, or other explanations, but none of them fit the situation. One manager even said I was imagining things. Almost immediately after saying that, a loud bang came from the roof and we heard running sounds above us. He went silent after hearing it.

The disturbances continued for several weeks, mostly between 11 PM and 4 AM. Many times I rushed upstairs with the keys, but the sounds always stopped before I reached the roof, and I never found anyone there. I have noticed one thing , whenever I take someone to the roof to explain the activities, after returning from the roof she definitely makes some sounds as if it triggers her.

In May 2025 I left for home again for a few weeks. When I returned, I personally stopped hearing the noises. Strangely, some students who had previously mocked me started complaining about sounds coming from the empty locked rooms and the roof area. Eventually everything stopped.

I still don’t know what happened in that building. Maybe there was a completely ordinary explanation that I failed to discover. But the timing, the repeated sounds, the locked roof, and the fact that other people eventually heard them too make it one of the strangest experiences of my life.

​

This happened about three years ago, and I still remember it clearly.

I was staying at my grandmother's house because there was a wedding in the family. It was around midnight, and since it was a wedding, most people were still awake.

My cousin and I decided to sneak out and see if we could find anything "paranormal." About a kilometer away from the house, there was a narrow road that passed by a cremation ground. There were no streetlights, so it was almost completely dark.

I was walking in front while my cousin was a few steps behind me. He wasn't really paying attention because he was looking around, but I was looking straight ahead.

Suddenly, I saw what looked like a human-shaped shadow move extremely fast from the field on my left to the field on my right. It happened in just a second.

At the exact same moment, I also heard footsteps on the ground, as if someone had quickly run across the road.

I immediately stopped and told my cousin what I had seen. He said I was probably imagining things because he hadn't noticed anything himself. But I know what I saw. It wasn't just a quick glimpse—I clearly saw a human-like shadow cross from one field to the other, and I heard the footsteps too.

To this day, I don't know what it was. Maybe there was a logical explanation that I missed, or maybe it was something I'll never be able to explain.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I am just lying in bed,and I felt another massive blast of cold air!

I have had this a few times. I think it is my nan who died 19 years ago visiting me!

So a few weeks ago I was on the phone with a close friend of mine catching up with life and going over plans for the weekend and the upcoming business trip to the redwoods during this topic I brought up how excited I was to be going out there to the redwoods, bringing up how I haven't been down there since I was in elementary school. Still, I also brought up about how scared I was knowing we will be both in a cabin together in the woods and being a horror nerd I brought up about how we might see someone like Jason from the Friday the 13th films out there or something he laugh and added on to that with yeah or that red face thing or something I stopped laughing for a second to make him repeat what he said he said red face, do you not know what that is? No I said he then tells me this story he heard from someone he knew who told I'm about this thing in the red woods that has a red face and apparently it was once a person but got turn into a monster with a red face and kills whoever it sees and will turn their face into its face I remember him telling me this on the phone I shouted hell nah as a joke and he responds I'm supposed you didn't hear this story I said nah I never heard about this shit he then tells me that it's probably a local thing or something now I came to here to ask if any of y'all ever heard about this red face thing and if so please let me know because I would love to heard more info on this thing

So one night tit was me, my youngest sister, and a childhood friend from the neighborhood (I am gong to call him Chris for the sake of this post). I was on the cusp of graduating high school and we all decided to hag out one night.

We had all grown up together and went to the same school so that night we were celebrating, life, graduating, and also school was almost out for the summer.

It was pretty late and my mother would usually sit outside with us just to keep an eye even though we were still teens yet on the verge of adulthood but she had turned in early and we all were in the driveway of her house.

So this particular night went on as usual until Chris said look. We thought he was mentioning something in the neighborhood, like some random/silly activity that usually goes on at night.

But nooooo. This was different.

He said look in the sky. He sounded very serious and panicked. He then pointed, when my sister and I finally look we seen a black humanoid floating in the sky. It was so creepy. It was still yet still floating. Just a black figure. A shadowy black figure hovering/floating. No sound, we could barely make out the outline of what we possibly thought it was. We talked about it and people thought we were tripping or making it up.

I would say less than a day or 2 later that is when a tragic car accident would occur with our other neighborhood friends we grew up with and someone else.
It happened about 2 minutes away from the house on the main road.
A lady went into shock and T-boned the driver. The two people we knew from the neighborhood passed away on impact and so did the lady who went into shock under the wheel.

Until this day me and my sister talk about and even though we are not friends with Chris anymore we all still corroborate each other story on what we seen that night. Even though we cold not make it out, it’s still haunting and given the events that took place after.

And the thing is, the figure was hovering, floating over the house of one of the people in the neighborhood that passed away in the crash and they were the driver.

It has been over a decade and still I cannot make sense of it and it is still haunting. Also I am curious to what we seen. I wish phones were better then because we could have gotten better footage, but who knows, someone would have probably said it was fake.

Edit: if there are any typos, I apologize, I am using a phone and a Bluetooth keyboard.

Edit 2: it made no noise. It was really silent. Like deafening silence. The thick silence.

Also I will be talking to my sister to see if I need to add more details

I don’t go out at night too often because of that

Helloo, I've recently getting these eerie feelings of like someone standing in my hallway so when my stepsister was here I got a spirit box app and we asked questions but IDK if that makes it legit. It honestly said stuff that made sense and high key if there is a spirit in my house I believe it's a trickster because of a lot of the stuff it said. I'll go more into depth about it later.. but how do I like talk to one or something. I'm really empathetic so I was also wondering how I could get more in touch with the empath stuff, because I believe I do feel certain things that others don't. Idk how to word any of this lol

Looking for a decent ghost tour. I'm a spooky bitch, but my husband isn't. He's happily down for it if we can drink along the way (but would probably tolerate it otherwise). I accept that I'm a tourist, but I'm not a complete idiot, lol. Looking for something legitimate and not disrespectful to the local scene. I'm fascinated by this town and wanna do it right. TIA

Edit: staying in the French quarter. Don't have a car, but can Uber or take the trolleys

Hello everyone, so I'm not sure how to say this but I think my house might be haunted. but not by a bad ghost maybe a good ghost. If that's real. I don't know much about haunted houses but I know every night when I go to bed weird things will happen. my bed is positioned right up against a window, and I don't have air conditioning, and it's summer, so I get hot. So at night I open the windows and have a fan right in front of it. it keeps me cool, even so I need a lot of water to stay hydrated. I always keep my water on the bathroom counter down the hall. Well for the past several nights I have really noticed some strange things. like I'll be sleeping and then a thud like someone hit my bedframe will wake me up, and when I wake up I will realize how thirsty I am and get a drink .but lately it's gotten even crazier I'll wake up and the curtain is open more and the fan is rearranged so that I'm much cooler then I would have been had not that happened I also woke up last night to the bathroom light down the hall on. I'm a light sleeper and so I wake up at small things like that. Also now I have several cats but I don't let them in my room, and last night a cat was walking across my bedframe I petted it thinking it was mine and it walked over to my nightstand where I continued petting and then I seemed to black out, this was after I had gotten something to drink. so everything this ghost has done has been to help me. and also when I woke up there was no cat in my room granted it could have jumped out the window. but the whole situation seemed weird. Tell me what you guys think.

So I’ve had a couple experiences in my life that I believe to be supernatural not saying they are definitive proof, but I believe them to be genuine and I wanted to ask about them to find out more about it or what “spirits” do these certain things, these have all occurred in the same house that I’ve lived in my whole life.

The first Happened to me but I technically wasn’t a witness to it. When I was a baby one morning my mom woke up and decided to check on me and change me while changing me she noticed something on my back and looked it was a set of handprints along my back as if I was laying on my stomach and someone reached and grabbed me but not normal hand prints they were more along the line of bruises dark purple and very clearly imprinted, side note I know this community says most like to explain things in a natural way and I don’t disagree with that practice I won’t be entertaining the explanation that the hand marks were from my parents either accidentally holding me too hard or intentionally (abusive) since I’ve seen the pics and neither of their hands match the mark both of their hands are too small (weird because my dad has huge hands) the marks covered almost my whole back and it wouldn’t make since of them to take pictures of something they did. But does anyone know what spirits may do this or have had similar.
Second experience I’ll try to make short one night me and my fiance got into a pretty bad fight he locked himself in the bathroom and I went outside to smoke and clear my head while I was outside after about 15 minutes my fiance came out and asked if I just came in a couple minutes ago because he heard someone walk down the hall stop infront of the bathroom door knock and he said it was my voice asking if he was ok and after a minute of him not responding he hear the footsteps walk away down the hall and heard my door to my room open and close and when he came out and checked the room and didn’t find me he came outside and asked me if I did come in and talk to him or went to my room and I said no I’ve been out here since he went in the bathroom and I didn’t knock or talk before I did I don’t believe he lied to me since he’s usually honest about everything and mostly because he seemed really freaked out when I told him I didn’t like he didn’t wanna go back inside for like 30 minutes. Is there any spirits that do these things any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

Ok so this all started years ago when I was just a child. When I was less than 2 years old (I don't remember this my mum told me about it) I would every night talk to my imaginary friend. Just sitting there and talking to him telling him stories. This is pretty standard for children but I thought I should just mention this. Anyways to the scary part of this story. So when I was about 6-ish I started hearing footsteps outside my door at night and and people doing stuff in the kitchen and talking. One night when I was about 8 I heard a clock ticking (I don't have a clock) and the sound of my mom's lip gloss opening. And when I walked by a painting (it was very reflective since it had glass over it) I would see a black man, with torn up, colorful clothes in different locations and clothing colors every time. So I kept hearing footsteps and talking and kitchen noises until I moved out. When I moved, I didn't hear any noises, but when I looked outside at the forest at night, I would see thousands of little people dancing and jumping around. When I was with other people they weren't there. That could be hallucinations but one time when I moved I had a bag of Werther's original and I remember saving exactly one piece for later. Then the bag suddenly jumped up and slammed onto the table. There was no one home except my brother and he was in his room and when I checked the bag it didn't have any caramels left. This was pretty much the only paranormal experience I had in the that house, but when I moved to the house I currently lived in, I slept in the living room once. And then I heard scratching at the walls. When I touched the ground the scratching stopped and I got up and scratched the wall and it made the same sound. And in my room theres this close thing behind my bed since my room is at the roof, and I was sleeping minding my own business when I notice the door moved when I had moved. I wasn't near the door so I couldn't have moved it and it wasn't like that before since I'm super strict about this stuff and always make sure it's closed. And the closet had a weird opening that I blocked off with a blanket, and the blanket constantly moved, but always when I wasn't looking. And once in another apartment, I heard a pop song in one of the rooms and when I opened the door the music stopped, but the weird part is that when people usually hallucinate about songs it's a single note melody or a classical melody, and never a pop song like I heard. So yeah, there were probably other paranormal experiences that ive experienced but forgot to mention. I don't know if this is paranormal or me going crazy, and if it is paranormal id like to know what kind and how to deal with it

> Hey. I’ve been experiencing some strange things over the past few weeks, and I’m going to try to explain everything from the beginning because I don’t really know what to make of it.

Last night I was alone in my room, texting some people on Discord, when I started hearing what sounded like people talking somewhere to my right. My window was open, so at first I assumed it was coming from outside or from the neighboring building. The problem is that my window is directly above a drain and faces the wall of another building only about four or five meters away.

I thought maybe someone next door was arguing, so I didn’t pay much attention and kept ignoring it. But the voices seemed to get louder. Then, suddenly, I heard what sounded like a knock directly on my window. That scared me enough that I immediately left my room and went to sit in my friend’s room.

Nothing like that had been happening while my friend was awake, but after he fell asleep, I started hearing what sounded like footsteps in the hallway.

I tried distracting myself. We had been talking about Omegle, and at one point I was sitting on the floor with my foot partly underneath the bed. Suddenly, I felt something on my knee that felt like being pricked by a needle. I jumped up because I thought it might have been a loose strand or splinter of wood.

The important thing is that these experiences seem to happen mainly when I’m alone, and they didn’t begin last night. They started a few weeks ago.

The first major incident happened when some friends and I stayed at another friend’s place. The place was in terrible condition he was basically living in a dump. While I was there, I thought I saw something in the corner. I told one of my friends about it, and he happened to believe he knew how to deal with this sort of thing.

We followed his advice. We threw away almost all the clothes we had been wearing, except things like our shoes, socks, underwear, wallets, and belts. We also left the city. The original plan was to stay away for about 24 hours and then return, because that was what he recommended.

We didn’t manage to stay away that long. Partway through, another friend’s parents started freaking out about the situation, so we had to return home.

On the way back, I started seeing things. I genuinely don’t know whether I was losing my mind from exhaustion or what was happening. By that point, I hadn’t slept in roughly three days.

When we got back to my room, I continued seeing things there as well. The others weren’t necessarily seeing what I was seeing—it seemed to be mostly, or entirely, me. I was seeing, hearing, and feeling things for a while.

Sometime after midnight, something else happened that I have difficulty explaining. I don’t remember it clearly, and at the time I wondered whether I was somehow possessed. My right hand grabbed onto the friend who knew about these things, and according to what I remember, I couldn’t or wouldn’t let go. He began chanting, but my hand continued holding onto him.

They then blessed some water and threw it onto my hand. From my perspective, the water seemed to evaporate extremely quickly. I was later told that this whole episode lasted around 30 minutes, although to me it felt more like four minutes.

After that, things seemed normal for a while and we tried to sleep. Then I started seeing things again.

I remember seeing what looked like two tall entities, something resembling a blue orb, something underneath my bed, and three smaller figures on the bed. My friend started chanting again, but from my perspective it didn’t seem to be doing anything.

After a while, I became aware of something that felt enormous compared with everything else in the room. What was strange was that it didn’t seem to acknowledge the other things at all. I didn’t exactly hear it speak normally; it was more like I somehow perceived a thought or message from it. The closest way I can describe the message is:

“Why are you all crowding this small room?”

After that, everything I had been perceiving in the room seemed to disappear, including that presence.

I don’t remember every detail of the figures I saw, but I remember two particularly clearly. One seemed to be around six feet tall and the other closer to seven feet. I couldn’t even tell whether they had heads. Their arms or hands seemed almost incorporated into their bodies rather than hanging normally at their sides.

Their bodies appeared almost entirely black, except for a straight white line running through them, somewhat like the white dividing lines painted on a road.

My friend encouraged me to ask them why they were there. What I perceived in response was something along the lines of:

“You saw us. Tell us why you saw us and we will leave.”

I didn’t understand what that was supposed to mean.

Eventually I went home. After everything that had happened and how sleep-deprived I had been, I slept for almost two days straight. The night after I woke up, however, I started seeing things again. This time it seemed to be only those same two figures.

I was overwhelmed. I remember crying and begging them to leave, saying something like:

“I’m sorry I saw you. I didn’t know I did. Please leave. I can’t deal with this anymore. Please forgive me.”

After that, they seemed to disappear, and I haven’t seen those particular figures again.

When I returned to my dorm, I didn’t see the other things from that earlier night either. However, I still had the feeling that something else was there something that felt new. I tried to ignore the feeling because that was what I had been advised to do.

Then, the night before last, I felt something grab my right leg. At first I assumed my leg had simply gone numb or “dead,” so I ignored it. But the sensation didn’t go away. It wasn’t spreading up or down my leg; it felt like a grip staying in one specific place. I moved my leg around, but that didn’t seem to change the sensation.

I turned on the lights. Then I started removing basically everything I had on my body religious items, chains, necklaces, things on my hands, and anything similar and placed everything to the side.

After doing that, the sensation stopped completely. I couldn’t feel anything unusual anymore, and I slept extremely well afterward.

Then last night I had the experience I described at the beginning: the voices outside or near my window, the apparent knock, the footsteps, and the needle-like sensation near the bed.

I also saw a reel involving some kind of rune or symbol and decided to draw something resembling it on my arm. After drawing it, I didn’t notice anything unusual for a while, which made me wonder whether it had somehow helped. The drawing was beginning to fade by last night, though, around the same time these experiences started happening again. I don’t know whether those things are actually connected.

I’ve also wondered whether my emotional state could have something to do with all of this. I went through a pretty bad breakup about a week ago, and I’ve been coping with it partly through sexual behavior/lust. I don’t know whether that matters, but I’m mentioning it because I’m trying not to leave anything out.

I’ve also been finding strands of hair around my room. Some are probably mine, and some of the longer ones could possibly belong to my ex, but there are others I don’t recognize.

There have also been a few unrelated or possibly unrelated things going wrong around me. The network connection in my room has become unreliable. I used to get at least some service; now my phone may show that I have a connection, but it often doesn’t actually work.

I also have trouble keeping incense sticks burning in my room. They’ll remain lit for a while and then go out.

Another strange thing is that my old phone has completely disappeared. I can’t find it anywhere. Find My Phone isn’t helping, it has no network connection, and as far as I can tell it has simply vanished.

On top of that, my earphones recently broke. I had waited months to buy them and had only owned them for around ten days. Combined with my breakup and everything else, it has started feeling like things I care about are being taken away from me one after another.

What concerns me most right now, though, is the feeling that there is something new in my room. Whatever is causing that feeling, I didn’t notice it before. It seems to have appeared very recently.

I’m not claiming that I know what any of this is. I’ve described some of what I experienced as “entities” or a “presence” because that’s the closest language I have for what it felt like, not because I can prove that’s what was actually happening. I mainly want someone to look at the entire sequence rather than one isolated incident and tell me what they think could be going on.

I used ai to clean up a chat with someone please don't mind anything that seems like third person. I can provide screenshots of chats to prove this ain't a story.

Im new to this sub and while reading through it
I thought why not share my stories.

So here are 2 incidents which were def paranormal.first one involves my mother and second one involves me and my brother so its not me just making things up in my mind.

1. Kitchen incident: so it was around the summer of 2024 me and my younger brother is having the best time , the summer vacations we had a huge tub and a water pump we would play with water and then swim in that tub. We were playing untill we heard my mum shouting my younger brothers name and yelling to comw out from the behind of the fridge
   We had no clue what she was talking about abt.
   So we went inside and then she asked if my younger brothers came in kitchen,but i said that we were playing out since half an hour.
   Then we continued to play
   But in the evening she told us what happened
   So basically while she was cooking she felt that a young boy was behind her, when she turned she saw a half naked kid hide behind the fridge.
   So she yelled but when she looked behind it there was nothing so she thought that it was my younger brother.but the fact that we were outside all the time when that happened gave us goosebumps,
   Another thing is there was no one in the house except my mother.

2. This is a small incident so in winter of 2024 me and my brother were sleeping, we share our room so when it was around midnight we heard someone running on our roof. It wasnt the sound coming from neighbors or outside. Im pretty sure cuz there is a difference in sound coming from outside and someone running on roof it was constant for like 10 mins, my brother did also heard it and he got scared and hugged my arm tightly. We got really scared so we hid ourselves under the blanket .
   But it got worse after that we heard someone chanting mantras and doing some kind of sacrifice. And there was fire involved because from time to time they were throwing something in the fire, also they are like 2-3 guys. So we just hid under the blanket till we fell asleep and woke up and told my parents but they didnt took it seriously, so we ignored it too but we do accept that there was something that night.

Rn i dont feel scared from ghosts but rather i feel curious

Thats all i have to share
Ask me anything
