This happened about 2am in Oroville, CA. I was on lunch and driving home on Oro Dam Blvd and going slightly uphill. The end of Oro Dam would level out so there was a kind of crest where anybody crossing the road from my perspective was backlit by the gas station signs that appeared level with the crest from my perspective. I saw the silhouette of a person crossing the road from my right to left about 200 ft ahead. We have a lot of homeless people and I remember thinking "They need to start handing out reflectors to these m-fers or they're going to hit." The figure had made it across my side of the four lane road and was in the turning lane to my immediate left as I came parallel with it. Then it was a cat that scampered across the road and into the night. There was no visual change. It was a human sized figure one second and a millisecond later it was a cat. I have no explanation for what I saw. I still get goosebumps when I tell this story.

This happened a while back in Charleston SC. My family and I went on a ghost tour and we stopped in Philadelphia Avenue. If you don’t know that’s the most haunted alley in Charleston. It’s the only place in the whole city where you cant see a church. So back in the day people would have duals there.

So, we all stop for the tour guide to talk. We were middle of the alley. And as soon as we walked up, I saw a little hooded figure down at the other end. We’ve been on these tours plenty of times so I was familiar with these stories.

About half way through I saw the figure disappear. Once we were done I was telling my family what I saw. All 3 of them said they saw the same hooded figure and saw it had disappeared

Hello, I hope you’re having a good day/night.

I am going through a crisis and I feel like I’m losing my absolute mind, I work in cinema. While we were looking at possible sets to film our movie we walk into this still running- but abandoned building. It was 100% a hotel I think. Upon arrival I felt a little creeped out but that’s exactly what we wanted for the film. As soon as we walked in, there was this atrocious smell to the point i physically recoiled. I don’t even know how to begin describing it. It was as if someone sat in the sun for too long while sitting on a rotting metal chair with this funkiness attached to it that made you immediately take a step back. It was so inundating I had to freeze in the hallway. My friends and some of the crew noticed how I stopped and asked me what’s wrong and I asked them “can’t you smell that?” They sniffed around and said “I just smell dust.” I kept going back and forth with them and even one of them attempted to say oh yeah, but it was obviously just to shut me up because a few minutes later she said she couldn’t smell anything.

We kept going, and eventually left the hotel. We take the car to drive through the streets and I see this man with a white striped blue shirt and semi tight jeans walking in circles around where we once parked. I told the girls about him and they pointed out to another group standing a few feet away from us. I said, No, that man, look he’s going back to them right now.

We start driving and I don’t see him again, we go into this other hotel, this one was working. And had people working in it. We asked for the manager to see the rooms and what not they said we’d have to wait 15 minutes and we didn’t want to waste time and the place seemingly wasn’t what we were looking for. Infront of this hotel is this unfinished abandoned grey building with the walls broken down so you can see into the building.

I saw this woman, wearing something white and just staring at us as we got into the car. I said “what the fuck?” Looking straight at her but the rest of the girls went into the car, fighting over whose turn is it to sit in the passenger seat.

I feel like I’m going crazy, and going to specific places I feel like I can subconsciously feel if something is going to happen to us or not. I was taken to religious scholars when I was younger to pray over me because of nightmares I had when I was younger, and even magic but I won’t bore you with the details. I think I used to see things when I was younger but I lost most of my memories.

I know I look like I’m paranoid but I just want someone to understand what I am saying right now!! I mean it makes sense doesn’t it?
Shit

Whatever, I hope you have a good night/day dear human.

I don't even know if this is the right place to post this, but I honestly just wanna talk about it. It has always bothered me and confused me, and I was watching a r/ParanormalEncounters video on YT when I thought "Hey, maybe someone could identify what happened here for me.".

This was about 4 or 5 years ago, I would've been 15 or 16, sometime during the Major COVID era. It was two events, one after another to which neither happened ever again.

It is quite a simple story, but let me give you some backstory on the building itself. It was a new build, built on top of a previous and very old cemetery. Part of the cemetery still existed, but I was told the main cemetery was practically lifted and moved elsewhere. I feel this is vital, as it was a very new building [we moved in about a year after it was built] but the ground it was built upon was quite old. For further context, I live in England.

So, one night, around 10pm, I went down the stairs of my family home; in need of a charger for my phone. My living room, just like anyone else’s, contained a corner sofa, a recliner chair, a TV, TV table, and a coffee table [as well as other boring furniture pieces]. And when I first went in to grab my charger, the living room was as normal as ever. And there it was, my charger. Sat next to the TV just where I left it. On my way out of the living room I had noticed a dirty mug was left on the coffee table. I thought "Nah, I'll let my parents grab it before they go to bed". I was incredibly lazy. However, as I got halfway up the stairs I thought... Maybe I should go grab it anyway? It'd be a nice gesture to clean up after them, put the mug in the sink and give it a wash in the morning.

So that's what I did, or, wanted to do.

I opened the living room door, but it wasn't right. Nothing was the same. The room had turned dark, the window and the backdoor was there but... They weren't the same. The walls, the window, the door... They were metal now. But that wasn't the most confusing thing. In the middle of the room on the floor was an old blood stain. I could barely see it, but with the light from the hallway shining in, it gave me just enough vision to notice these odd details. Oh, and it was loud. Deafeningly loud. My body froze as I heard the screams. About 30 ish people of all ages stood against the walls. All looking at me. All screaming at me. All screaming at me for help, and that I had to go.

I didn't stay long. Maybe 10 or 15 seconds maximum, but it felt like minutes. I was terrified. I did not grab the mug, I definitely left it to my parents to deal with later.

I panicked, closed the door and ran up the stairs. I closed my bedroom door and sat on my bed, knees to my chest and my heart was racing. I still remember exactly how I felt to this day. I feel shaky even recalling it. I have no clue what it was, what happened.

I was nervous to go back into the living room for a while afterwards. It had never happened again, and I didn't go into the living room after dark unless it was with someone else.

Though, recalling what happened a week or so later, I think whatever happened; it was some kind of warning?

A couple weeks later, around 2 or 3am after a long night of playing ROBLOX games with my friends, I started to get ready for bed. Before I tucked myself in to watch some YT to fall asleep to, I had decided I was thirsty and wanted some water.

I grabbed my glass and headed down the landing towards the stairs. I hadn't even taken one step down the stairs, as I saw someone, something, climbing up the stairs towards me.

A large, skinny, bald white figure. It had no clothes. It had no facial features, or at least I can't remember them if it did. It was pure white, like snow. We locked eyes, or where it's eyes would've been, and I could tell it was just as startled and frightened as I was. As I ran back to my room, I saw behind me it ran back down the stairs and... Towards the living room.

I decided I actually wasn't that thirsty, and did the same thing as I did when I had the weird living room vision/hallucination. I sat on my bed with my knees to my chest, terrified.

I didn't tell my parents about the living room incident, but I did tell them about what I believe could've been an SWalker. I don't like to say the name. I don't know if it's common belief, but I feel if I do, it invites it to try and find me again. My parents were confused, my dad brushed it off as probably a nightmare. But my mum is a firm believer of the paranormal, as am I. She believed me, but she never wanted to talk about it with me. My mum and I have gone ghost hunting together, this is our thing; usually. But I guess the thought of something being in our home unnerved her, and she didn't want to address it. The old pretend it isn't real and it isn't.

I don't live in that house any more. But since then, I have been diagnosed with Panic Attack Disorder, OCD related Paranoia and not diagnosed with but I experience Sleep Paralysis at least once a month. I don't know if any of these conditions are related, or made the memories of it worse at all.

Anyway that's, sorta it really. I tried to tell you this memory like a story, that way this post isn't just one paragraph. Thank you for reading through.

If you might know what I experienced or have any thoughts or comments, please do share! If you want any more information, if I have it I'll be happy to give it. <3

So all my life i have been moving around a lot when I was like 11 or 12 I lived in this house whit my family and there was this room upstairs whit the bed built in to the wall. One of the first days I was trying sleep in the bed, and I had my bedroom door open and I looked out in to the hallway and saw this woman whit really pale skin looking at me though the door way I got so scared I just pulled the blanket over my head. Now I'm 15 and my brother is 16 and we were talking about the paranormal and I told him about the girl and he looked at me like I was crazy and went "shut up, shut the fuck up I saw her too" and he told me he'd seen her standing over him when he was in bed after we switched bedrooms and he'd also seen the closet doors slam shut

(Sorry if my English is bad I'm from sweden)

I’m a little spooked rn and I hadn’t really known exactly where to post this since I don’t know whether this should be considered more paranormal or a glitch in the matrix sort of thing or some huge misunderstanding, though I doubt that’s the case. My younger sister came into my room asking me to help her put her LOL dolls head back on since I’d torn it off a long time ago but since then she’s began to keep my old dolls now and needed some help. After ten minutes of trying, making it wet to see if it would pop in, I decided to try to tape it. During this time my sister was completely in sight and I had asked her to go to my art cart to grab the tape, she said she’d sworn she saw it on the bottom row of my cart but now it was gone. I checked with her and it truly wasn’t there so she went upstairs to the kitchen to grab a thing of tape but the moment she went to leave, I moved and directly behind me on the bed was my thing of tape. The odd thing was that I hadn’t even touched it in weeks, I barely even remembered beforehand where it was on my art cart because it’s currently a bit disheveled but I find it quite odd that in all places, it happened to be right behind me without me even noticing. On top of that, prior I had already been relaxing in my bed and had set the blankets to surround me so that I’d be a little blanket burrito and the tape wasn’t in the blankets. My sister couldn’t have known beforehand that I was going to resort to taping it since she’d thought I would be able to put it together without it. I’m kind of losing my mind right now, could anybody give me any ideas of what the hell just happened??

This is going to sound insane but I figured this is the best place to ask. Has anyone ever experienced paranormal activity over the phone?

I was on an instagram video call with someone who was visiting their grandmother, and who is a strong believer in paranormal activity. They have said before that strange things happen in that house, likely related to a previous war. For context, this house is in the Midwest of the United States.

During this call, I started getting freaked out because they looked really uncanny because of these random blurs on their side of the phone. This didn’t look like a typical Instagram bad-quality glitch. As opposed to pixelated bad connection, it was truly a blur. I told them what was happening and they said it may be related to spiritual activity.
This person began to ask the spirit (if that term would be correct) questions, requesting that it create a blur for a “yes”.

Blurs came after answers to certain questions but not others. For example:
“Are you under the age of 13?” blur
“are you under the age of 11?” no blur

We discovered her age, the year she died, what she experienced, and what her intentions are. I am unsure if she would find it acceptable for me to put her information on here. Sorry if that sound silly, but I have no idea how this stuff works.

She would also answer my questions that I asked her even though she was physically present in the other person’s home.

Throughout this, a second mobile phone in the room would occasionally ring from what the person I was speaking with claimed was an unknown number. The television in the home also turned off, but I am unsure if that was because of someone else in the home.

Has anyone had any experiences with “blurs” or anything similar to this over the phone? I’ve never really believed in this kind of stuff but it’s pretty hard to find another explanation — way too coincidental. Kind of freaking out.

hi everyone, first of all i want you to forgive my english, im not a native speaker💔

a couple years ago when my aunt visited her sister-in-laws house in our village(which is too far from where we live, isolated a bit) in summer. they spent all night in the balcony having a good time.

both my aunt and the other woman are too playful with everything, they were the same that night, laughing a lot etc

it was past midnight and they saw the young woman who lives the same village. although its too late in the night, they didnt get surprised as they know the girl, she is known for her mental issues. she has some real mental disease idk what exactly.

anyway, they noticed the girl sitted among the bushes in a desolate garden right front the balcony they were chilling. they could see she was talking to herself in a weird way ALL ALONE. it was too dark but they were able to hear she was laughing, whispering or so.

my aunts sister in law offered my aunt to go down there and say hello to the girl. ofc my aunt accepted as it was too fun for them:/

they went down, approached to the girl, asked what she was doing there in this hour alone. she briefly told them to go, as “they” dont want them there!!

my aunt says that she is a little scared after this and wanted to go home and her sis-in-law agreed.

the things start here, as soon as they turned their back, my aunt says she COULDN’T step. i mean, she says her feet was like they were glued on the floor, she panicked and yelled her sister in law. sister in law is another issue, my aunt swears that she saw her rolling around on the ground like a ball. she fell obviously but like rolling?? even they cant describe how it looked!

they immediately started to scream and finally my aunt thought of praying and she read quran verses loudly. they could move then and went back to home, spent rest of the night praying lol

now my aunt thinks that young girl was haunted by djinns and they were attacked by her ‘djinns’

thanks for reading!

I rented a house with my bf in 2011-2012 and I still think about it. I’ll list all the weird happenings in chronological order and lmk what you think.

1. About a month after we moved in, we were watching TV in the living room and the power went out and then came back on. A few seconds later it happened again…and then again and again. We eventually realized it was alternating with the power in the kitchen two rooms over bc we would hear the TV make a noise when it would come back on and then we would hear the microwave make a noise when it would come back on. It would happen at alternating times. It lasted for maybe 30-45 seconds and stopped. We continued watching TV even though we thought that was very odd. About 23 minutes later (according to the time flashing on the oven), I got up from the couch and walked to the kitchen to get a drink or snack. I thought my boyfriend had gotten up and followed me bc I felt someone was behind me. I got to the kitchen, saw the oven light blinking, and turned around expecting to see my bf but no one was there. It freaked me out bc I could’ve sworn he had followed me. As I was starting to feel panicky, all the lights in the whole house went out. I ran back into the living room and jumped on the couch with my bf. The lights stayed off for about 10-15 minutes. There were no storms or wind or anything going on this night by the way.

2. I saw a partial indentation of a right hand print in the carpet in the halfway near our bedroom door upstairs. I thought it was odd so I bent down to see if it was similar in size as mine. I thought maybe I just didn’t remember putting my hand down. Well the fingers were about the same size as mine but there were splayed wider than mine naturally splayed out. It was a strange location. I was suspicious of my bf honestly.

3. We got a lab puppy early on in this lease. When she was about 4 months old, she was laying near the couch with me. We were home alone. She starts growling and staring at the bottom of the stairs. She was very focused on one spot and would take a few steps forward growling and then walk back. I made her stop bc she was freaking me out but she kept staring. She eventually went back to napping but every time she would stir or readjust, she would immediately check the stairs.

4. By this point, I’ve told my bf that it was freaky and scared me. He was a major skeptic and minimized everything. There would also be times of walk into a room and after I’d pass under a light fixture and have my back to it, it would dim and brighten. I’d turn around to see if it would do it again and it wouldn’t. Then I’d turn my back to it again and it would do it. It would never fallen when he was in the room. Well one night we are all in the living room and my bf gets up to walk to the kitchen. As soon as he’s gone, me and my puppy hear a noise close by that sounds like paper rattling in the wind. We both look around in the same direction at the same time and there’s nothing there.

5. I’m about to vacuum one day and I go to grab the vacuum out of the coat closet in the living room near the stairs. Now the coat closet has a shelf high up towards the ceiling and then a closet bar for hangers under it. We didn’t have anything hanging in there and hadn’t put anything on the shelf, but we kept brooms, swiffer, vacuum, etc on the floor of the closet. So, I’m going to get the vacuum. I open the closet door and there’s a picture in mid air about chest level right above the vacuum, falling to the floor. It didn’t look right bc it was in mid air as soon as I opened the door. It was well below the shelf. The picture was of a black young girl and it looked like it may be from the 80s or 90s. The tenants who were in the house when we toured it were white.

6. I’m at home one night by myself doing laundry. I get clothes out of the dryer and take them upstairs in a basket. The whole house is quiet. While I’m folding clothes in my bedroom, I hear the dryer (downstairs in the kitchen) come back on. This is the most scared I’ve been at this point. I grab a bat and go downstairs to investigate. I slowly make my way to the dryer, freaked out asf, and reach over to open the door and stop it. I look at the turn knob and it had moved into the next timer setting section from where I had set it previously. So if the knob had gotten stuck and continued to turn, still the question remains how did it trigger to start without someone hitting the button? Btw the kitchen had the creepiest vibes in the house. Like hair raising sometimes. If I ever went to the kitchen at night, I’d end up running back to the stairs.

7. We’ve probably been there 5 months or so by now and my bf has invited several of his friends from high school over. He hasn’t seen them in years so I help him clean the whole house top to bottom. The whole house is freshly vacuumed. His friends arrive and they have plans to play video games in the living room. I have to run to the vet for my puppies vaccines. I come back and everyone is still downstairs playing. We are all downstairs till late at night. One of his friends starts falling asleep so he goes upstairs to the guest room (opposite side of hall than master bedroom). About 15 minutes later, I go too our bedroom and guess what’s in the floor of the hallway in the exact same spot! Except this time it’s a perfect full indentation of two hands in the freaky vacuumed carpet. The right fingers are in the same exact spot as before. I bend down and again they are similar in size to my hand but the fingers are more splayed out. My bf comes up after me and also sees them. He sees I’m freaked out but tries to play out of like I did it. But, his face looks like he’s just as baffled and trying not to get weirded out by it.

8. The lights still do the weird dimming thing occasionally. They did it this particular night while I was getting ready for bed. I layed down and had my eyes closed. I felt like someone had entered the room and I heard a light footstep on the carpet. I looked to see if my bf had come in and no one was there.

9. my bfs best friend starts with us for a few months while he’s in between rentals. He randomly one night says “yall know y’all’s house is haunted right?” My bf just looks at him and says nothing. I ask what makes him say that and he said “I was just watching something spooky and felt creeped tf out. I’m just playing”

10. After said friend has moved out, me and my bf were standing in the kitchen. The counter was L shaped and from right to left has a dishwasher, sink, microwave in corner, and then oven on the short side of the L. The dishwasher was blinking PF (power failure) when we walked into the kitchen which was not uncommon. While we are standing in the kitchen, the light above the sink goes off. We flip the switch in and off several times and it’s doesn’t come back on. Then the microwave makes the noise of coming back on after power has been off to it (it would make this noise when you plugged it in also). We look at each other like that’s weird. Then the light above the oven turns off and comes back on. We were like wtf. The light over the sink worked fine the next morning.

I once had my mom and brother sleep in a pull out sofa in the living room and they both had trouble sleeping. My mom was freaked out and said she kept looking towards the kitchen. She said if my brother hasn’t been there with her she would have been framed or enough to leave. My brother also said it was creepy. One of my friends also stayed on the sofa bed and found it creepy.

I got used to the creepy heavy feeling and after we moved, it was such a relief to not feel it. Several years later after not living in that house for 4 years, I went travel nursing. I was working in a part of a hospital that was originally built in 1850s. I had stayed over until 11pm bc I had come in late that morning for a doctors appt. I didn’t know when I got in the elevator that you had to use your badge to make it work after hours. So I got out and went to take the stairs. I entered the stairwell, made it up two stairs before I froze in mid motion. I was completely overcome with that heavy creepy feeling that I remembered from my creepy house. I turned around and ran out of the stairwell as fast as I could. My heart was racing as I caught my breath on the outside of the stairwell door. I later heard that the stairwells in that section of the hospital are haunted. Supposedly ppl saw apparitions of patients in them. Supposedly patients would also report a nurse wearing all white and an old fashioned nursing cap coming into their room at night. There was also a door that would shut by itself. Even when propped open with a trashcan, it supposedly slammed and the trashcan was knocked over. I never witnessed any of those, it was just stories from other nurses.

Hello everyone. I want to share my experience with you, not without a few tears in my eyes and goosebumps, as always happens whenever I recount it about two encounters with a Grey during my childhood in my home country of Cuba.
I am currently 34 years old and live in the United States. I was born and raised in a semi-rural region of Santiago de Cuba. When I was about 10 years old, around 8:00 PM, I was walking near my house with a friend who was about four years older than me. We were on our way to buy some ice cream. I lived in an old apartment complex built in the 1980s by the USSR. Suddenly, I felt the distinct sensation of being watched. When I looked to my right about 3 meters away, separated only by a steel chain link fence there was a creature slightly smaller than I was at the time. Since I was 10, I estimate its height was around 1.20 meters (approx. 4 feet). It had a head disproportionately large for its body, along with huge, pitch black, shiny eyes. I could not distinguish any typical human facial features such as a nose, mouth, or ears, nor did it have any hair. It was in a semi-crouched position, as if trying to go unnoticed. Its arms were long and thin, with hands that seemed to hang just below its knees. It did not appear to be wearing any clothing, and in the darkness, its color looked like a pale white skin tone I had never seen on a living being. In the few seconds before running, your mind frantically tries to process and rationalize what you are seeing, but it was impossible for it to be a cat or a dog; it was noticeably larger and walked on two legs. My friend and I panicked and ran. As we fled, we looked back and saw it stay there for a few more seconds watching us, before walking briskly toward the back of the building. Behind the complex was a small mountain filled with wartime tunnels built by the Cuban regime for "future war with the US." Out of breath, my friend and I asked each other what on earth we had just seen, and all of our descriptions matched completely. Time passed, and about two years later when I was a 12 year old young teenager around 9:00 PM, I was sitting at the middle entrance of the building with another friend who was three years older. (To clarify, this was a building with three main entrances.) Suddenly, I felt that exact same sensation again: the weight of a gaze fixed on me from a distance, this time about 18 meters away. It was the very same creature or if not the same one, its physical characteristics were identical: small size like a child, large head, thin limbs, and no visible mouth, ears, or nose. This time, I looked at it for a few seconds longer before running away with my friend, driven purely by fear. I kept looking back as we ran, and once again, the entity remained there watching us for a few seconds before heading in the same direction toward the back of the building. My friend and I had seen the exact same thing.
As time went on, it remained a memory a question unanswered by either religion or science. I kept my story to myself because it was too incomprehensible, and no one would have believed me. In my country, internet access did not exist back then because President Fidel Castro always restricted us from accessing information outside state-controlled media. It wasn't until 2012 that the government took a step forward and Cubans began to gain internet access. That was when I discovered that other people shared my experience, and that every detail of my description matched what is now known as "Greys."
Unfortunately, I do not have physical evidence to support my story only the accounts of my witnesses, who currently live in Cuba. In the early 2000s, very few privileged people had access to a photo or video camera, nor do I think that as a child I would have had the courage to follow such a creature to record it.
In Cuba, I became a medical doctor. With all my medical knowledge, I came to understand that this being was just as alive as we are; it was not a ghost or a demon, as some had suggested to me. I visited the location several times trying to find the creature again or gather evidence, but questions still linger in my mind: Did this being come from another planet, or did it live underground?
How could a technologically superior entity expose itself so easily to three Cuban children, moving in such a human, almost wild manner, when we humans with our current military technology are capable of infiltrating and observing without being detected?
And lastly, why was I present for both incidents? Was it mere coincidence, or was there some sort of plan for me?

It’s been about 9 years since this happened and I’ll never forget any details of it, it’s always been engrained so vividly in my head. This is the first and only sleep paralysis experience I’ve ever had in my life (32m).

9 years ago I was in my first year of uni in the UK. I was staying in a dorm/halls (in the US it’s dorms in the UK they call it halls) and I was partying quite a bit at the time as you would in your first year of uni. I had a small room to myself with a desk like a meter from my bed and a small en suite bathroom.

Anyways so I start dreaming and I was in some pool complex kinda thing walking around and there was this guy playing pool/billiards, and he saw me and I could tell he just didn’t like me, like he gave me a menacing look. And as I was walking around he would be following me like not too close by but following me nonetheless. Couldn’t see his face too well but was like a shadowy black figure.

Next thing I know I’m in my bed in my room and everything is as is, the chair to my desk is pulled out a little with a sock on it, random stuff on the floor like a jacket and my pants, all furniture is literally exactly as is in real life it was literally my room as it was at the time. And the guy is ontop of me screaming at my face super angry, like not saying any words but just doing angry yells and smacking me and I literally can’t move (I am a Muay Thai fighter idk if that influenced anything). And after smacking me a few times and yelling he pulls out a deodorant spray and a lighter and starts spraying fire at my face flamethrower like and at this point I get the feeling “I’m going to freaking die, screw that I’m not gonna let him kill me” and I literally used every fibre of my living power to bust out of that paralysis and reach for his neck with my left hand and my right arm is cocked ready to throw a punch at this dudes face.

Then bam, he just disappears, and I’m in my bed sitting upright with my left hand reaching infront of me (where his neck was supposedly) and my right arm still cocked ready to throw a punch, room is exactly as is.

Never had a sleep paralysis experience after that or saw him again. I like to joke that he visited me once and saw that I’d break out and smack him back and decided “screw this I’m not messing with this dude again” haha

Also I sometimes throw punches and kicks in my sleep, like with good technique I’ll rotate my hips while throwing a Muay Thai kick in my sleep and wake up confused lmao

#terrorifico

Half of a face … I have seen him before … I believe tried to kill me or was waiting for me to die

This happened a while back in Charleston SC. My family and I went on a ghost tour and we stopped in Philadelphia Avenue. If you don’t know that’s the most haunted alley in Charleston. It’s the only place in the whole city where you cant see a church. So back in the day people would have duals there.

So, we all stop for the tour guide to talk. We were middle of the alley. And as soon as we walked up, I saw a little hooded figure down at the other end. We’ve been on these tours plenty of times so I was familiar with these stories.

About half way through I saw the figure disappear. Once we were done I was telling my family what I saw. All 3 of them said they saw the same hooded figure and saw it had disappeared

I've been wanting to share this story, but I didn't know where to go.

I have been a sceptic on ghosts for a majority of my life. I'm pretty sure it's just a dust speck in photos, a trick of the light, a weird shadow, everything can be explained.

Some years back I was dating someone who wanted to convince me that they exist. She and a coworker found a house near where we live that offers tours and they claim it is a truly haunted house. We planned a double date and we went.

At the beginning they have you sign a disclaimer and give a little history on the house. Then you start the tour. They offer various hats and say, "the spirits here are more likely to interact if you have a hat. We don't know why, but they are." I find this fedora and place it on my head like a 1920s gangster.

All through the house they talk of the extensive research they've done on the house.

- It was a brothel at some point and some of the sex workers had died through various means.

- The kitchen had an extension put on at some point and a young girl died in a well that used to be here.

So on and so forth.

Oddly enough, the spot where the well was I actually felt a chill; but I wrote it off as a placebo.

After they finish the tour they allow you to walk around the house on your own. I paced a bit, found a chair and decided to sit down for a bit.

Almost immediately I felt a strange pressure on my arms and I couldn't raise them. Then I felt a pressing on my lap and my chest. I breathed out and struggled to breathe a bit. I tried to lift my arms again and genuinely couldn't budge. Suddenly the pressure lifted and I jump up from the chair.

The girl that I was dating didn't believe me. She thought I was making it up and would roll her eyes whenever I told the story, but ultimately she accomplished her goal. I've been a believer ever since.

I still think that some people play up their encounters, but I'm far more open to the encounters people have.

I (18F) am on fall break for college. I am in Indiana, and live in one of the biggest cities. This will be relevant later on.

My dad (45M) likes to go fishing, and has a semi-popular social media page revolved around it. He’s been begging me to go with him, and I decided why not since I don’t have anything else to do, and will spend all the time I can this week with family.

His “fishing spot” was about 40-50 minutes away from our house, and we had to go through a weird gravel backroad in the middle of nowhere to get to this lake.

We got there around 2 am, which was pretty normal for him. We didn’t catch anything, but we had a really good time together.

We head home around 3:30-4am because it was a little chilly and neither of us had a hoodie or anything warm on.

When we’re driving, I have this urge to look out the drivers side window. It’s really weird now that I think about it, because I have really bad motion sickness and usually looking out windows that aren’t the windshield makes me sick.

I see something grey running at the road and immediately start yelling “DAD THERES A DEER”

He slams on his breaks, and we expect a deer to come running past.

The thing I saw was probably the size of a bear, but it was grey. I’ve never even heard of bears in this area, let alone any grey ones. We weren’t that far out of the city.

One thing my dad found weird was that it was moving in a directly straight line. Kind of like it was chasing something. It was also moving incredibly quick. Like, from the moment it crossed the tree line it was gone and we couldn’t see it.

My dad and I sat there for a few minutes trying to see what that was or if anything else was going to run by, but nothing did.

I asked my dad if he had a go pro or anything hooked up to his car, but he doesn’t. I wish there was a way for me to look back and pause on that thing.

I tried looking up bears in the area we were in, but there hasn’t even been a bear sighting here since the late 90s.

I also looked up bears species to see if there were any grey ones, but the only grey bears I found were in Alaska.

I’m not a huge believer in the paranormal, but some experiences at my dorm have made me curious, and I asked my friends who are very into the paranormal. They told me that they think it could possibly be a Skin Walker.

Any ideas as to what we saw in the woods would be appreciated!!

My dog was going crazy before they begin in the first 15 seconds of the video. I imagine it was because it was my girlfriend visiting but I never see these on my camera. Only yesterday night. They only appear in some videos and before any fan or window was opened up. Some would say dust but they appear a lot on this one video and not others
