My husband was away this weekend so I was home solo with our 4 year old. Our son sleeps in his own bed bud frequently enters our room throughout the night to get tucked in or for some other reason. I fell asleep around 10:30pm and woke around an hour later to what felt like something sitting on the end of my bed. I thought my son had come in. I open my eyes and don’t see anything although the room is quite dark. I notice my heart is racing and the bed is shaking like a constant vibration. I’m awake but confused and scared. I’m thinking it must be my heart racing? Or some other reason. I wait for it to stop it seems to go one forever but actually maybe for a minute or less. When it stops I use my phone to turn on lights then start googling! I was terrified to go back to sleep and have it happen again. Ultimately I did and had no issues.
Today i’m so confused. Again I am awoken out of sleep 1-3 times a night by my son so it is not uncommon for me to be pulled out of any stage of sleep. I have had a “bed dropping” falling sensation before throughout my life when entering a sleep state, but nothing like this. I felt awake…Anyone experienced this? Possible sleep paralysis even though I had full function and felt awake/aware?

I’m so scared. I understand how algorithms work they can make predictions based on your past activity, and I’ve always tried to find explanations for things like this. But this time, it feels crazy.

Last night, I woke up, drank some water, and put the bottle on the dresser, which is higher than my bed. I started thinking, “What if there’s an earthquake and the bottle falls on me?” Then I started wondering whether my area is safe just the usual thoughts before falling asleep.
And this morning, I got an Instagram notification saying, “earthquakemap.live posted a thread you might like.” I am about to throw my phone away

BUT while writing this post I realize it is not only phone. Since childhood I often was like “wait this lady looks like Anna” and oooops that lady is not Anna but here is Anna coming out of nowhere ….. and I mean it …. Like what is going on with my mind ??

So I work as an actor in a haunted house that is also actually haunted, and my scene is the paranormal room. There is an ouija board in the room but I’ve been told “don’t worry, it’s fake.”
I got curious and wanted to google what makes an ouija board real or fake, but I couldn’t find anything on it. So my dumb question is are all ouija boards real? Or how do I know I’m not going to accidentally contact a spirit in my scene while trying to scare guests 😭

I went to the endinburgh vaults on a tour. Me and my familly had the weekend off for my mums 50th, so we decided to go to edinburgh. We had a great time and went on a tour of the vaults in the 1st vaults we went into I saw something pass by the enterance (if you've ever been there you'd know its just a door shaped hole in the wall that leads out to the cooridoor.) the thin looked like a puff of beige smoke that was in the shape of a human. I just stood there for a moment in shock. Nothing like this had happened to me before, so I was properly spooked. We then moved on, and later in the tour the gouide told us that people have seen apparitions of people walking up and down the hallways; when i tell you my skin crawled I actually almost started crying I was that scared. we then went out and when we went in the vault where they found all the homeless peoples bodies after the fire (iykyk). I kept on seeing this dark figure infront of people across from me in the dark. It was almost like it wasn't actually there but it was in a way. Anyway thats my story; just thought I should tell someone.

Hello! I very rarely post on Reddit, so forgive me if this is hard to understand!!

OKAY, so to start off:

I'm 21(F). More than likely looking into this too much, but it keeps coming back to mind. The other day, I was getting ready for work and got out of bed, no problems, after blowing my nose and having no blood in it (that only sometimes happens). I very rarely have nosebleeds; I can't even remember the last time I had one, probably as a kid.

Now, when I returned to my room I noticed there was a drop of blood on the floor, which just confused me. Had my nose bled?? Was I bleeding from somewhere? I checked myself over but I wasn't bleeding and there was no residue of blood on my nose. I 100% would have noticed because I have a mirror in the walkway toward the bathroom that I ALWAYS look into when passing by (weird ADHD habit lol). I also look down when walking to make sure I don't step on anything, like bugs- I live in the basement, and I certainly did not see any red dot on the floor going to the bathroom. The flooring in my room is hard tiles.

I leaned down and touched it, and it was a fresh drop of blood. Still wet. I was like wtf?? Then grabbed a paper towel and wiped it off the floor, having to rush myself getting out of bed late to leave for work on time. I put it out of mind for the day. Well, yesterday my period started early, and I was changing feminine products in the bathroom and felt a drop of blood hit my hand (i know it sounds kinda icky but yknow it happens sometimes cmon). I KNOW I felt it because I kept looking all over my hand and the floor to make sure it didn't get anywhere, and I found NOTHING. my immediate first thought (being a bit of a theorist lol) was the drop of blood in the other room that i found the DAY BEFORE.

I'm writing this the day after the second confusing event, but I thought to write it here to see if anyone had any ideas. I live with my aunt, and we did have a person come over to check on the water tank electrical stuff (idek tbh) in my storage room the day I had work, but the drop of blood was there BEFORE the guy was there. I know that because I had to get up for work and was about to leave before my boss texted me to come in an hour later. So I sat back down and waited for the guy to get there.

Nobody came downstairs in between the time I went to the bathroom and back. I would have heard them because the house I live in is old and I can hear every footstep throughout the house. Especially with the door to the storage room too. There is nobody in there.

Where the hell did the blood come from?? Time travel? Weird paranormal stuff? I literally have no idea but I'm so confused.

Heyo, want to preface this by saying this could be a person as there were obviously people here, but I was a bit thrown off by the reflection in my glasses.

This is from a marching band trip and I remember this one being one of our long rides out to competition. Everyone was sat down as this was quite a bit into the ride, as you can clearly see behind me other folks are sat down too. So why in my sunglasses is there someone who is as tall as the ceiling/standing tall as hell with their mouth wide open not wearing our band shirt/wearing all black? Idk this might be nothin but it's been throwing me off for a while and wanted to get y'all's thoughts.

Please be kind I'm genuinely looking for y'all's thoughts.

Hello! I'm writing here in hopes to see what everyone thinks of this, as at the time I put it to no thought due to circumstance, but after talking to my sister about it and hearing her thoughts I realised this may be a bit spooky. To understand as to why I am questioning this is mostly due to the fact that I was going through a rough time and was in one of the deepest wholes of my life, while having a history of fabricating things to the point of my own reality being affected.

At the time this all took place I was inpatient in the adolescent ward of a hospital in a city a bit away from my town due to the hospital in my town being far too small for inpatients and only treating minor walk ins. I was 14 at the time and I rapidly lost an unhealthy amount of weight and diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. When introduced to the hospital I loathed everything and thought That the doctors were dramatic, however as the time passed it made me realise that I wasn't okay.

Something that stood out to me through the conversation with my sister was the fact that i remember every detail so incredibly vividly and me and my siblings have ALL completely and utterly blocked memories from our childhood. Not going to get into it but we all had pretty a traumatic childhood and to this day only have a rough idea of what happened from word of mouth from my mother and father (divorced, both saying different things and equally abusive).

so for me to remember everything of this time is- odd.

My first week I was given a feeding tube and that was an experience to say the least. It was the standard procedure of disorderly eating where nurses watch you eat, piss and shower to make sure you aren't being sneaky. I shared a room with a girl (lets call her cleo) and honestly I don't remember why she was there. She was a sweet girl who was very talkative and let me play on her ds. On her first night I heard her crying and she was hysterical and sounded like she was in a conversation of sorts. I thought nothing of it and honestly just wanted to sleep so i told her to be quiet and go back to sleep.

The next morning she woke me up and asked if I've seen nurse Nancy, I didn't know who that was and just told her no. Her last night she woke me again to talk shit about nurse Nancy being in the room so late and how annoying they were to keep watching us.

I was confused as I didn't see anyone, so I went out to a desk in the ward where a night shift nurse usually sat. I asked the nurse to quit letting Nancy in as she was scaring cleo and she doesn't need to be in right now. The nurse told me that there has been no nurses since dinner in our room and told me to go back to bed.

I thought nothing of it and went back to bed. The next day cleo was discharged and I had the room to myself for a couple days. Then a boy who was about sixteen (tom)was put in the bed next to me. I believe he was in because a serious leg injury as we were allowed out in our wheelchairs once together and he had a huge cast. He didnt really talk to me besides casual conversation now or then. Until I heard him ask if Ive seen nurse Nancy. When I said no he looked a bit confused.

he told me that he would've thought I knew her as we seemed quite close. I was bewildered as I didn't know who the hell he was talking about. I asked him to describe her and he said she was very tall and brunette, pale with large eyes and she was just in with the other nurse to give me my lunch and that she touched my face.

I was like wtf there was only one nurse with us at lunch and NO ONE touched my face . He just said "that's weird".

Some days went by and I was taken off the tube. I remember gagging and feeling nauseas and vomiting in the bathroom connected to our room. I felt someone hold my hair back and thanking them but after I stopped puking I turned around and there was no one in the room. When I came back to my bed tom said" see nurse Nancy she just went in with you". I was weirded out but just thought nothing of it.

I was there for around 5 weeks and I remember as I was being discharged I made a joke to a nurse saying " and thank nurse Nancy for me, i've never seen her face but she's been a great help". The nurse looked at me weird and asked " you mean nancy like a patient?" I said "no nurse Nancy apparently she's been through my room many times ". and the nurse looked confused and just said " theres been no nancy anywhere near this ward ".

I thought nothing of it and just left. I talked about it to my sister yesterday as a funny story, but now that I think of it , its weird right? maybe she was a nurse or a patient, but who knows it was a long time ago. Let me know what you think!

I picked up a spirit box off eBay for fun. Been frequenting a local graveyard, a few of the local inhabitants know me by name now. On the very north side of the cemetery there’s a war memorial with some benches. I was sitting there, mindlessly talking seeing if any interesting responses came through. For some reason I kept hearing the word north. Now the only thing more north of me than this memorial was the woods. I keep looking that way and eventually ask if there’s something over there, and clear as day I hear the word demon come through. Is this something I should be worried about? Is it possible there’s been a demon trying to attach itself to me or something? I’m not very in tune with anything spiritual like this, I mainly picked this up to convince myself ghosts are real. Now I’m just a little worried. I don’t want to leave for good though because I’ve admittedly started to care for a few of the spirits that talk to me regularly.

I Just Came Upon the subreddit while waiting in line and I figured I'd share my story. I was moving from Arizona to Texas two years ago and I've been pretty heavily into studying the occult, not really a practitioner of doing rituals and stuff but reading about it consumed a very large part of my life, I was also in new age groups. Anyway had about a month or so before I was going to sell my house and head back to texas, so I spent some time having fun and visiting places, and one of the things I wanted to do was see something paranormal since Arizona's got kind of its own weird vibe like that, so I went to the Superstition Mountains and one of the most haunted parts, then I went to Sedona and spent the night on that haunted Ranch and old movie star owned where there's a lot of alien and paranormal stuff. I didn't see anything in either but I got really really creeped out and was scared doing both of them. The ranch place is kind of like a giant open desert, I just kind of parked out in the middle of the desert and stayed up all night I didn't really see anything, but I remember a green light flashed on me a couple times it was kind of weird I didn't think anything of it. When I went back home my house seemed like very dark, and I was almost too scared to go to sleep so I'd sleep with all the lights on. I started having sleep paralysis which I've never had before, and one time I woke up in the middle of night and couldn't move and I called on Jesus and it felt like something rose out of my body. This happened several times, and a couple days before I was about to move I went down the washes in Tucson to walk my dogs and I had a random thought in my head about looking up what the " sign of the zealtor" was, which was really not that abnormal cuz I always get things in my head that I'm like I wonder what that means. But anyway it was starting to get dark and I was looking up what that sign was, and I was reading about how it's used in rituals which you can do which kind of initiates you into the occult, and I remember doing that pose like in my mind and after I did there was this big bush next to me and it sounded like somebody was talking to me from behind that bush although it seemed like they were right up to my ear. It was just my name that I heard but it was like in a very long drawn out low-whispery slithery kind of voice, and I got this feeling of extreme darkness that it's really hard to explain. It felt like I was surrounded by a void, I said no a bunch of times and ran out of the wash with my dogs. When I moved to Texas it seemed like there was always something watching me in this little trailer I was living in. I also had sleep paralysis a couple more times, had something that sounded like it was laughing at me in the middle of the night, had my family life kind of go to s*** and then my dog died. This is about the time I was getting pretty interested in Christianity and everything kind of seemed to stop.

That's my story ever since then, I've been very very interested in Christianity, and everything that goes with the Supernatural part of that. I believe that the spiritual world is kind of like a court system and everything is based on willingness, I think everything I was doing was a way of inviting dark entities into my life. I never physically saw anything, which is something I have always told people I wanted, but according to Exorcist demons are always watching you or have some kind of access to you where they know enough about you, and I think that they refuse to show themselves to me, but that I allowed them to have influence over me and do stuff. I'd also been listening to stuff around that time and have heard people who are working with dark Supernatural forces and something in me seem kind of jealous, and I remember having the urge to invite them into my life so that I could also have these very interesting experiences, and once I thought that it felt like something was hovering right over me or that I was about to "invite someone into my house", and never had the courage to fully let it in. Take from this what you will that's my story

hi guys, i don’t usually believe in this stuff but it’s been getting really scary. This is completely true and genuinely, i am an atheist, i don’t believe in ghosts or witchcraft but something is going on that i can’t explain.

It started 2 weeks ago.

I remember waking up in the middle of the night and next to my bed, i saw the figure of an old woman. I couldn’t see the face and i tried to rationalise what i was seeing as i live with flatmates so assumed it might be one of them.

The longer i looked though, i could even see details like that it was an older woman with hair below the shoulders, wearing a blue long dress with a white sash/thing around her waist.

I stared for a good 3 minutes and she started slouching over towards my door/mirror (i have a mirror on my door) and then disappeared.

I tried to rationalise that i was super tired and i could have imagined it.

Then other stuff started happening.

the following 2 weeks, my entire life began falling apart.

My phone completely broke.
I got locked out of my house.
My online google/uni accounts stopped working.
My laptop broke.
My bank cards stopped working.
I became so ill i couldn’t keep food down for a week.
My sim card stopped working.

and then finally, last night 3 pigeons slammed into my garden wall near my bedroom window and died.

I had to clean up the bodies, then when i went to uni, i had to borrow a laptop from the library (mine broke).

The minute the lecture begins, the laptop started blaring alarm sounds and i have to leave the hall as it is so incredibly loud that the lecture stopped.

I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what’s happening and at first i was like “yeah just been a horrible couple weeks” but i swear something is going on.

I don’t know what’s happening, i don’t know what to do.

BIRDS FLEW INTO MY WALL. Like what the hell is going on???

I know some people will be like god you just have such bad luck but i genuinely feel that at this point, something is happening. Some kind of external factor.

I have a 10MO baby, & I’m 24f. This morning at about 6 ish I was half awake half asleep (I co sleep with my baby and he’s bf so it was to feed.) After he falls back asleep I’m still half asleep, and all of a sudden I hear a woman’s voice go “boop” as in on the nose, and I shit you not, my baby started giggling in his sleep as SOON as it happened. Didn’t scare me or anything but definitely thought it was odd! lol.

not sure if this the right sub-reddit but about a year ago i remember seeing something quite vividly it look like the from what i remember: yellow snake eyes, a reddish-purple forehead that looks burned/boiled, sharp fangs, black short hair that shows most of the forehead, abnormally long arms with sharp fingernails/claws , pale white ashy skin, and it claimed to be the snake demon and is a servant of the devil/ a prince of hell both spoken to me telepathically(although it could have lied), i did see this thing when i was fully wake and it grabbed my leg from under my bed and when i turned a lamp near me it vanished, and ever since then i keep hear and seeing it so could some explain what it could possibly be?

Last night I stayed at an Airbnb in the middle of nowhere with two friends. When we first got to the Airbnb I remarked that it looked odd. Like Stranger movie odd but the night went normal until about midnight.

We were watching/playing the new conjuring game on Netflix. We had moved a couch closer to the tv and behind us was another couch. If you don’t know much about the game it involves a haunted item which is a musical box. Anyways we finish the game. And this is important, I personally exited the app, exited Netflix, and then turned off the tv. When you exit the game the app on your phone exits too.

One of my friends and I got up to go into the hot tub. The second friend was still lying reclined on the couch. They wanted to close their eyes for a little bit. First friend was in front of me on the stairs and I was about halfway up the stairs and then we all heard a music box sound. My friend jumped up from the couch and said he had heard that right behind him.

My other friend and I had heard it in the stairwell with us.

Now I know you’re going to think one of us played it but I was the only one with my phone downstairs. The rest of the phones were charging upstairs. I don’t even know how to explain this. I would love your thoughts.

So I’ve noticed I’ve had a history of renting places where deep cleansing (and cleaning) is needed. My current apartment included. When I got my current apartment, I was excited for a that not to be the case. So when I was told that there was brand new flooring and a new toilet, I thought, “amazing!” But then I realized that it was because the last tenant had serious issues. Let me explain:

First off, I did a virtual tour and not a physical one. And when I met the leasing agent, it felt like she was holding back info about the space. When I asked to move in early, she only told me about the toilet and carpets then. Next, even though the apartment was professionally cleaned before I got there, the sink drain had burn marks and I got the sense that the cleaners had been overwhelmed— I had to do a few rounds of deep cleaning for things like bathroom drains, the microwave, and other nooks and crannies. The microwave had some residue build up even though you could tell it had been cleaned. (I admit, reading this, maybe the cleaners weren’t great BUT it took me AWHILE to clean so my guess is they had a lot to clean and did their best).

One day after I thought the cleaning was done, I was in the bedroom and got an overwhelming sense of dark energy in the closet. Before that, I’d noticed that there were smudges (what I later deduced were finger marks) on the closet shelves, about the height of a child. I told whatever it was to leave and that it wasn’t welcome, and did my best to shift the energy away from the space as I did a smoke cleanse. I now keep a bowl of salt water in there that I change and charge daily. I only recently hung my clothes in the last month or so. It’s been about 4 and a half months since I moved in.

Background: I’m intuitive and the message I got was that a child had been ab*sed in the apartment. When I checked with other intuitives, they got the same message. Basically, dude who lived here before me was a father who didn’t have the capacity for a child and treated the child terribly. This involved locking the child in the closet when the child made him upset. I’ve since gotten signs confirming this because of things like mail addressed to a man and one about local schools. I can only imagine the type of pain both of them were in because of the energy I’m now FEELING.

I’d been seeing the occasional black energetic spots here and there, and more and more lately. I do monthly spiritual cleaning but don’t tend to have the capacity for more often. I do keep my space clean and tidy for the most part though. Things were fine until this last week. I encountered days of feeling light headed on and off, pressure in my head, and just an overall sense of HEAVY and unwell.

I’ve been personally doing a lot of grief work around* ab\se since I got here, and this time of year is harder for me. It seems it’s hard for whatever presence is still around too. Once, when I left the apartment, that energy lingered with me until I went to a body of water. Now, it happens on and off and I can leave the apartment and feel fine, but the last few times I came back in, immediately I have felt the heaviness. The second time I went back, it also smelled like cigarettes. Remember how I talked about the burn hole in the sink? I think dude who lived here regularly smoked inside. But, if I had to, I could explain the smoke smell away because I had burned sage before I left. I think the energy was stronger the second time because I’d just learned about some news prior and was actively feeling grief so decided to leave the apartment. Ngl, this is a bit scary for me bc it’s a first in terms of how I’m consistently being physically impacted. I also spend a lot of time at home.

Someone I consulted with said I still have work to do on the space, and as I work through my grief, the child and whatever energy is there will work through their grief too and basically leave the space. Thoughts? The advice I’ve been given is to do more smoke cleanses and prayers over the space, which i’ve done and will keep doing. Any other suggestions or insights would be helpful!

I just saw a short video about this. Has anyone else ever seen this? Or do they know how to set up their television to do this? All of it happened back in 1984 I think. The man had unbelievable images of his family members that had passed away. I'm just wondering if anyone else is curious about this, or if they have heard of it.

Story time, gonna be wordy. So when I was about 19, I worked at a bar and grill. It wasn't a big place and opened at around 11 am, I had to be there around 8 in the morning as kitchen staff. Now, we had three entrances to the restaurant. Two doors were across from each other on different ends of the restaurant but you could easily see both of them. The "front" door led out onto the sidewalk, the "back door" led out into the parking lot. The third door sat behind the kitchen, blocked by an employee only door since it was for employees only and it was one that couldn'tbe slammed because of the mechanism it had (important for later). Now, to get to the restaurant floor, you had to pass through a hallway where we kept coolers for our cold products, meat, dairy, etc. We also would have our food supplier leave our orders in that hallway for convenience. Anyways, I was always on the early shift to open and start our prep. My friend was my manager. Manager at work. Friend outside of it. He lived a whole five minute walk away. He had been drinking with another coworker and let him stay the night since his house was right by work. Well, I get the truck order in with help from the delivery guy. He leaves and I get to work putting up the order. So, as I'm standing in the hallway, putting the meat in the cooler, i hear the front door slamming open and shut, like someone is doing it. As soon as I turn the corner, it stops. I walk to the door and jiggle the handle, its locked. I unlock it and step out trying to see if someone thought we were open and tried the door, its been known to happen. Not a single person walking on the sidewalk or anything. So i go back in, close the door, and lock it again. I go back to the hall to continue working the order. Then it happens again but its the front door and back door slamming hard and fast. I step out of the hall and it stops again. I, again, check to see if someone is messing with me or what. Both doors are locked and not a soul in sight. So, for a third time, I get back to work. Then it starts but now I hear all three doors slamming open and closed. It continues until I step back out onto the dining floor and see my manager and the guy he drank with the previous night walking up from the very end of the parking lot. As soon as they get near the door, I unlock it and open the door. I explained what happened and they instantly went to try recreating it. They tried but they couldn't do it with as much force or speed. The third door was also impossible to slam no matter how hard they tried. None of us could explain it. Other things happened during my time there, mostly minor stuff, except for one other major event shortly before I quit. I'll post that story later.

Hello all , I am a huge Civil War buff and have visited many Civil War battlefields over the years. However I have never encountered anything paranormal on any of these visits. I have always been fascinated by stories people have shared of having paranormal encounters while visiting Civil War Battlefields. Does anyone in this sub have any stories? If so I would love to hear them!

Somewhere that made you feel uneasy or that you discovered had a dark back story and you was right to feel unsettled - bonus points if you have pictures or can show it on google maps!!!!

I've had 4 experiences in my life, from 19 to 47. They are different enough that I believe there's something else. Could be an afterlife or alternative existence after we die or multiple universes. I don't pretend to know. I am an atheist which makes these experiences extra odd.

Have you had experiences like these?

1) At 19 I was home from college and transcribing the Overture from Mozart's The Magic Flute into a piano solo. I was home alone with my father. At one point I got frustrated and laid my head on the piano keys. Several seconds later I felt a hand on my left shoulder. Assuming it was my father I said something like "It's okay. I'll figure it out." Turned around and no one was there. I searched the house and no one there either. Found my father in the backyard up a ladder trimming a tree. He swore he was not in the house. To be noted the other four members of my family all say they've seen a small boy of 8 or so years old with brown hair and brown clothes in the house. I never saw him. But maybe I felt him?

2) One of my grandmothers died in my 20s who I was very close to. During a deep depression several months later I can only explain it that I felt her presence. I then smelled her perfume. I said "Grandma?" and felt a warm loving feeling. Then it slowly faded.

3) I lived in a 1920 Victorian in my mid 20s to 30s that had a brick roof deck above us. All original. Countless times I, my husband, and visitors heard clear walking on the deck back and forth like a hard boot heel to toe. After a few years I yelled that this was my house now and whoever it was could continue walking up there just not when I was there. It stopped immediately.

4) At 47 a close friend and colleague died. Randomly one weekend months later I felt her presence clearly and could hear her saying "Oh Sarah...". I called her name and after several minutes it faded away.

It's important to note that none of these presences were negative. Quite the opposite. I've never been scared. Confused, yes.

For 8 years of my life (4-12 years old) I lived in a house that I know FOR SURE was haunted. 13 steps, 7 attics, and two full length mirrors facing each other in front of a set of french doors at the top of the stair way. If you're curious as to why I mentioned the attics it's because they create a triangular formation. Those of which are known for drawing in spiritual energy.

Anyway, one night when I was 6 years old (a couple months before my 7th birthday); my cousin was staying the night. My brother and I shared a room. For context when you open the door, to your right is my brother's bed against the wall. Across from his bed is mine, up against a wall with a large window; and across from the foot of my bed is our walk in closet.

Now back to the story. My brother was laying in his bed, I'm in mine, and my cousin is laying behind the foot of my bed, in front of one of the sliding doors of the closet. It's about 2, maybe 3AM when I bolt up right out of my sleep and see a 6-7ft tall black figure standing at the edge of my brother's bed watching him sleep.

Everyone who lived in the house was no taller than 5'6. So it couldn't have been anyone playing a prank on me. This figure was darker than the dark but somehow I could make out what it was wearing. Black dress shoes, black slacks, black gloves, a ling black trench coat, black fedora, and black sunglasses...but no face.

He wasn't breathing, wasn't moving, nothing. I look behind the foot of my bed to see my cousin fast asleep. I look back at whatever this thing is and keep my eyes on it for a minute or so until all of a sudden it's head cocks and turns at me without making a sound. When someone moves you can hear their clothes ruffle. I didn't hear that when he turned to look at me.

I instantly got cold and felt my heart dropped to my stomach. Me being 6 years old at the time, I hide under the covers assuming they'll protect me. I hid under them for what felt like forever. During this time there's nothing but absolute silence.

I take my head from underneath the covers to see this figure is gone. Keep in mind, I didn't hear a sound while under those covers. Not the sound of my door opening, foot steps moving, or the sound of my closet door opening. Nothing. Thinking back on it I never heard the thing come into my room either and I've always been a light sleeper.

I tried telling my cousin and brother about it in the morning. They laughed it off and told me it was them pranking me. But if that were true, I would've heard them move around the room. I've replayed this scary moment in my head over and over again over the years, it still doesn't make sense.

What was that thing? How did it get in my room? What did it want? And why was it watching my brother sleep?

Yesterday me and a few friends went out to a concert in downtown portland oregon. As we were standing in this long line along a cement black wall this woman with a black pixie cut, a hoodie, and a garbage bag thrown over her shoulder comes walking very fast over to the people in front of us. She definitely appeared to be homeless. Nobody noticed her as she crouched down near the line of people and gathered herself together with her things. I didn’t really think twice about it and continued my conversation as this is a norm in this city, what was so weird was that she got up and she then literally walked through these people.It was so strange that she was not “translucent” like a typical “ghost” sighting. Complete solid, real person. She then disappeared into the wall with all of her things. It was interesting - she moved fast and she was very determined in nature as well as if she was on a mission. I have never seen anything like it. I kept blinking and then even shifted over to see if the woman with the black hair was there. The next day i brought up to my friends this bizarre story and they said they never saw a homeless woman and I must’ve seen a ghost. I have experienced paranormal events in the past, but I had never seen a ghost in my life so this was extremely trippy. hopefully this is allowed! just thought id share :)

Does anyone know if this hotel is haunted or know of any history with it? There are two separate sections of this Sheraton hotel in San Diego - Marina Tower (the updated section) and Bay Tower that hasn’t been updated yet. We stayed on the 12th floor of the Bay Tower section. Immediately I felt like the hotel felt a little odd but nothing unsettling. After checking in, I set off by myself down our hallway to see if there was a vending machine nearby. I felt okay at first until halfway down the very long hall I felt a very intense sensation that I was being followed. So much so that I called my husband and without explaining anything asked him to pop his head out and watch me until I reached the room. After that, all was fine. I will mention that I am not easily spooked. I am a clairvoyant that has dealt with things much of my life but this made me very uncomfortable.

I’ve recently moved into a apartment with my boyfriend and 1 yr old son and i’ve been getting this weird feeling since moving here like im being watched or something i don’t know, now my boyfriend leaves for work at 3am- 2pm sunday-thursday so im alone for majority of the night each day and im definitely not used to being alone at all as i used to live at home with my family (7 brother 2 sisters plus mum and dad) so i’ve never been in the position to be alone lol so im not sure if this is just paranoia or not.

but to actually get into it i’ve been having trouble sleeping for the past month which is so unlikely for me because i’ve always been able to sleep at any moment i can, i’ve just been so scared lately as i keep hearing noises around in my apartment.

The other night my son woke up in the middle of the night and while i was trying to get him back to sleep he looks into a direction where nothing is there and starts playing peekaboo with whatever he is seeing and laughing which obviously freaks me out quite a bit so the point i took him out of his room and tried getting him back to sleep in my bedroom. Since then i’ve been more on edge and just a lil scared, then i was sitting in my living room one day then i felt my hand burning and look down and see these tiny scratches that i definitely don’t remember getting and was too small to be from me scratching my hand or even from my son so now im a lil more freaked out lol.

But tonight is the reason why im posting though, i was trying to get to sleep at around 1am and then i felt and heard something tap my pillow twice behind me, i immediately freak out and wake my boyfriend and ask him if he just tapped the bed or moved and he said no (he thinks im going crazy) but i know for sure that something tapped my pillow i tired going back to sleep again while completely wrapped in my boyfriends arms because of how scared i was and im not sure if i fell asleep or not but i just remember opening my eyes and trying to speak and move but it felt like someone had their hand over my mouth and pinning me down it felt so awful, eventually i was able to talk and was just calling for help from my boyfriend (that scared the shit out of him lol) but i just don’t know what’s going on with me like am i going crazy or is there some paranormal shii going on

sorry if this is all jumbled up its currently 5:40am and i still haven’t slept and im all alone now so i feel like i cant sleep 🫠

So my story starts off with a oil painting of a horse running on the beach, my nanna in law gave me and my partner this painting because her neighbor kept saying the picture was evil, back then no one thought nothing of it ( he was special needs so I can see why that with what he was saying was getting disregarded) so we accepted it. (The painting we accepted, just to be clear) This was between 2012-2013.

Early 2013 we move to a new house ( 2 story townhouse) so when you enter the front door you've got the stairs then straight ahead of them you have a wall (obviously) that we put the horse painting on, also on the floor you have a bathroom right next to the wall, then a small-ish bed room then another bedroom (master), in 2016 we had out first daughter, when she was about 2 she would stare at the painting from downstairs saying "bad, bad" so one day I took her upstairs and said what's bad? She sat down right in front of the painting just staring. So I take her down stairs and take her to the kitchen and ask my brother to watch her whilst I get the painting and bring it down stairs, I place it out the front on the porch to the side of the front door. I ask her where is the "bad" instead of going towards upstairs she goes straight to the front door says "there" (points towards it) I think okay she might've seen me place it there so again I take her to the kitchen, ask my brother once again to watch her and sneak outside and place it right outside our yard leaning on a tree. I ask her again. She points directly towards where it is. So I leave it out there and some one takes it and now I'm thinking okay you can be haunted, not my family.

In 2018 I have my first son. Whilst feeding him at night down in the lounge room, it would be completely dark (partner didint like tv or lights on, summer time is Australia) I would see this tall shadow to my right (next to the front door, we had a long glass window next to it) this happens for a few months so I decided to see a psychic, her name is Kristina and she is very good. She does tell me that this shadow could be my dads uncle but she can't get a proper read on him because it's like he's outside near the furthest bit of the yard and we're inside and he's trying to talk. She said things that I and my brother would only know so I know she's good and reliable.

So I didn't mention but back in 2012 my partner bought me a Marilyn Monroe picture. When my first daughter was 5 (2021) (we'd moved to a new house by now (single level) one day she was just staring at the picture then starts to cry and run away, I ask what happened, she said the mouth on Marilyn Monroe picture started to open. There's no way, right? So a few months later me and my brother did the Ouija board for fun, we thought we were doing it for about 45 mins but my partner said we'd been at it for about 3 hours, nothing came up with using it just that my brother has had a guardian named Ron thats been with him as long as I'd had him in my care (5years) we have never heard of a Ron, I did ask my dad if that was his uncle's name but no confirmation.

So nothing happens for a while, then I have a second daughter (born 2023) she's almost 3, a few months back she started seeing things, first it was a "zombie" in the playroom under the couch, then she would point at a blank spot on the loungeroom couch saying zombie. Then one night (she co sleeps with me and her younger brother) she shot up and looked at the end of the bed as if someone called her name, she looked and then says "nope" and lays back down and goes to sleep (no one was there)

Now, less then a week ago im outide having a cig, I'm looking at the tree tops that are in my park (I'm 2 minutes walk from there) it's not windy but I see something swaying back and forth, very slowing, the rest of the tree tops aren't moving. So then the next night my kids have finished playing with the Nintendo switch and put it on charge in the kitchen, after they go to bed the switch screen started turning off and on, off and on. I think okay maybe it's faulty because kids are careless and whatever, I reach over to where it's charging and hold down the button to turn the screen off, I then see a kid shadow/figure right near it. This was about a week ago, so I guess in a way we've all seen/felt things and it still surprises us everyitme we see something.

I forget to mention two things. One is when my brother was living with me (he was 12 at the time) as he was going to sleep he calls out my name in a way he never has and I go to him. He said he saw a shadow on the roof ( he was facing his window as he was about to sleep) this was also in 2020, he was petrified.

And earlier this year my oldest daughter 10 ( has her uncles old room) screams one night, she is in tears and scared, I ask what's wrong, she says she looked over to where her wardrobe is and it looked like her youngest sister opening her draw and then looking right at her but had no eyes, smiling.

That's all folks.
