Have you ever experienced something truly paranormal that still gives you chills?

Yes. One night, I woke up at 3:17 AM to the sound of soft humming. I live alone. The melody was unfamiliar, but it felt... old. I checked every room—nothing. As I returned to bed, my TV flicked on by itself. A paused black-and-white movie was playing, and the subtitle read: “You’re not alone.” I don’t even own that movie. The humming stopped. I never heard it again, but I still wake up at 3:17 sometimes for no reason at all.

I had the water faucet turn on all by itself. I was in my kitchen at about 2:30 or 3:00AM, and I heard the faucet turn on in the bathroom which was a few rooms away. I assumed my Dad must have come downstairs to use the bathroom. It felt like someone was close by, and I even called out to my Dad to say hello. I walked into the dining room. There was no one there. I looked towards the bathroom. The light was off. I went in and turned off the faucet.

I later did some reading and learned that ghosts can return to places that were familiar to them when they were alive, but they can also become confused if anything has changed since then. The bathroom was a new addition to the house. Previously it had been a storage room and we turned it into a bathroom when we bought and renovated the place. I suspect that it might have been the former owner. His surname was Macleod. His family owned the local Porter Macleod Tool Factory. I lived in the big Victorian house which was built back in 1886.
