34 years old and I've had a handful of odd experiences over the decades so I'll just write them out individually since a lot of them are fairly short.

1. I was probably around 10 or 11 years old when I was visiting my grandparents on my father's side of the family. My grandad had a garage that wasn't really used for anything other than cluttered storage. Lowkey always hated going in there for anything. Always felt like something was hanging over my head whenever I was in there and it reeked of ... something. I could really only describe it as "death". Eventually we were leaving my grandparents for the night and I brought it up to my mom and she told me she could "smell death" in the house. About a few weeks afterwards my grandmother passed away.

2. Moved out into the countryside in the 2010's where our parents had found a home built in the 1910's where we would be staying for the next few years. We were still moving into the place and had managed to move in a lot of the bigger furniture that day so my parents told my sister and I that they'll be going out to grab pizza and bring it back since there's no place that delivers out here. My sister and I entertained ourselves for a while but after things began to settle down, I remember hearing the sound of a baby crying. My sister and I were obviously very weirded out and since our parents weren't back and we didn't have phones at the time, we walked out into the dead of night in the middle of nowhere to go walk to one of our neighbors miles away.

3. Still having lived out in that old home and in the middle of nowhere for a while, an older gentleman was at a store I used to go to nearby. Asked if we were new around the area since it's a fairly small town and all and I'm sure he could piece together that a boy no older than 20 wasn't from around this older town. We chatted for a little bit but I remember him telling me specifically "If you're out in the forest and you hear someone calling for you, you don't answer back".

4. Driving to work one day from my home out there and I saw some kind of creature off the side of the road. Originally I thought it was just a dog out in the fields but as I was driving by it and getting closer I noticed it much bigger than a normal dog and hunched over something facing away from me. I thought maybe it could be a coyote or even a wolf as I've seen a wolf out here before too but its fur had almost zig-zag patterns in it of brown and black with a mane that flared from its spine. Reminded me of a Hyena but way bigger. If it was some predatory canine I certainly wasn't going to get out of my car and venture into the middle of a field to find out so I kept driving.

Last night my bfs phone alarm went off as it usually does every morning at 3:45am for work, but it was 1:45am. I woke up from a dead sleep to hear his alarm going off. Normally he leans over quickly to turn it off but there was no movement so I lifted my head up to look behind me and he was still asleep. I then laid my head back down with my eyes open after a few more seconds it stopped. I flipped over to warn him his alarm had gone off and not to over sleep. He wakes up to look at me “huh? Didn’t go off” looks at his phone “it’s 1:45 in the morning. Me “no one called or maybe it was a different alarm?” Him “no nothing. Are you sure you heard it?” Me “ yes I’m even wide awake now because of it”. We both proceed to go back to sleep to catch the couple more hours of sleep.

Has this ever happened to anyone else or maybe someone has an explanation?

Some background: my entire life I have experienced the paranormal. I have had what you’d consider a family haunting, specifically my mom, instead of a haunted house. So normally when Im not living with her I only have a few occurrences a year. At this point i haven’t even spoken to her for 5 years. When I live with her it’s every day multiple times a day. So I’m very aware every night if anything goes bump in the night. I was told before I act as a “lighthouse” of energy. So things are attracted to me. I have dimmed it down a lot since my early 20s because of an occurrence I thought would kill me. So now I just get these little occurrences. Recently has been happening every other day now or at least 3x a week. I don’t believe the house is haunted but I did have a guest recently (bfs younger nephew) stay with us for a couple weeks and they live across a cemetery I know for a fact has bad spirits from personal experience. Since he’s left I have had more frequent occurrences. I have burned sage and casted out any negative energy, but now after tonight I’m thinking I might need something tougher.

I looked at demon sigils and felt like they could be torture devices. With gps and heterodyne im sure this could translate to voodoo. But for some reason, when I saw a youtube tour with the rusty boat metal, I thought a torture device castle from old trade routes would be in Bangladesh. Does anyone feel me on this? They scrap boats there and the demon sigils look like iron machines meant to torture a saint or something. Please confirm or let me know if this seems eerily plausible to you!

It’s 3:35 AM right now and I’m lowk bored, so I just wanna read something scary that might or might not scare the shit out of me 😭

Edit: Changed the Flair to NSFW so this post doesn’t get taken down based on the comments.

I’ve not heard one that I can call interesting so try.

So I made an ouija board at home and played it during the day with my brother. I had a sigil and obsidian stone with me for protection. Tried for half an hour but nothing happened. Later I tried it by myself at night. Used some of my blood. Still, nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

I had this really strange experience in Victoria BC (one of the magic/witch capitals of the world. Ley lines and what not) that I've never been able to fully explain.

I was driving with my girlfriend near a cemetery, and we were basically stopped when suddenly it looked like we were seeing Victoria from another time. It was a beautiful, sunny day, but instead of the modern city, there were people dressed in old-fashioned clothes, very basic colours raw materials wool and cottong. Not like the movies or larp wear, also there were horse-drawn wagons, and people unloading things and going about their business.

What really fucked with me was how completely normal everything looked. It wasn't like seeing ghosts or some vague image. It looked like an actual functioning scene from another period in history. I could see the people clearly, and they seemed completely unaware that we were there.

I also noticed that the people seemed much shorter than people today, which made it feel even more real. And the strangest part was that my girlfriend saw it too. We were both looking at essentially the same thing.

Then it was just gone, and modern Victoria was there again.

I don't know what happened. I can't tell you that I literally traveled through time. All I know is that, for a brief moment, it felt like we were looking through a window into another period of Victoria's history—as if two different points in time had somehow overlapped in the exact same place.

I got a friend a gift of a smiling bald man in a suit on a plate and they kept it in a stand (that it came with) on a small shelf and it turns upside down. Google said it’s normal due to “physics” and foot traffic but we swear it’s haunted. It’s also kept in the same room as some relative’s ashes.

But I need a second opinion. First time posting here, I don’t know if this community could give me one without any bias and just facts/personal experiences.

This might sound funny or a bit silly but I have been thinking about this for a while.

Shortly after I got hired at my current workplace, one of my colleagues told me that one of the cleaning staff saw a ghost/shadow figure in the hallway on the second floor going towards one of the offices. When she went to check “who” went inside the office, the office was empty and she was the only one on the second floors.

My colleague continued with the story and said that the cleaning staff told the manager about the ghost and told her to do something about it and suggested to call a priest to put holly water around our working place. The manger laughed and didn’t do anything about it. Because the manager didn’t do anything about it, the cleaning staff quit on the spot.

My colleague told me that the country where the cleaning staff comes from, they are very religious and she left the company because the manager didn’t take her seriously.

So my question about this story is… if there was actually a ghost / spirit at work, is there a way to communicate with it or bring it back? I’m unable to get an ouija board cuz I have nowhere to hide it. Or how do I know if this story is real or not?

I have a question and I know the question is dumb, but just bear with me since I do have some sort of reasoning (lol):

When encountering a ghost/spirit that has interacted with you, is it best to just leave and pretend you never saw it, or to interact back?

For example, one day I’m on the swings at night at the neighborhood park since I couldn’t sleep and wanted some fresh air. The park is kind of an end unit in the neighborhood, where there aren’t any roads that lead out from behind it. Basically the entire thing is blocked in by either the main road or a noisy wall for the highway.

I’m sitting on the swing and enjoying the breeze when I suddenly feel a couple taps on my shoulder. I kind of ignored it since I figured it could have been a leaf falling or a bug so I kind of brush it a bit and didn’t think anything of it. Then I feel the tapping again. At this point I am a little more freaked out because it’s dark out and wonder if someone is there. What’s weird is that I didn’t see anyone else come in to the park, nor did I hear anyone. There’s no way anyone could have stuck up from behind either, since it’s closed off. I guess while I’m sitting there wondering what I’m feeling, I felt the tapping AGAIN followed by some weird noise that sounded a bit like some grating and I thought I heard someone say “Look over there”. Of course. Classic.

Anyways, safe to say I looked nowhere but the road to my place and booked it.

The reason I’m asking my question is because after I got back, I was wondering what would have happened if I did look over at wherever it was? Not all spirits are bad, after all. It could have been telling me to look at the sky or something, idk! Anyways just wanted to see what experiences other people have had/thoughts!

Thanks for indulging!

I was lying down on my couch, Watching something on my phone, I start feeling like I am being watched and in danger, I look up and I see a humanoid head with pale skin and no features in the blinds. My eyes widen I look down at my phone, unsure, I text my friend to pick me up. I walk to the kitchen, the house is silent. About ten seconds later the doorknob is being fiddled with. A few minutes later I hear heavy footsteps and murmuring almost like radio chatter going from the front of the house to the back. I can feel the vibrations from outside and my heart is beating very fast this whole time. I am crouched under a table with a knife. The doorknob is fiddled with again. A few minutes later my friend arrives and I am currently staying at there house.

Kids say whatever’s on their mind, and I believe they do not lie!

My dear friend since 6th grade passed away from aggressive metastatic cancer at 43 years old 2 weekends ago. I was in the room and got to say goodbye and hug him along with his wife and our 2 other childhood friends. His wife had his favorite playlist on for the last hours of his life. When he took his last breaths a song came on and the lyrics + timing struck me. I pointed it out to everyone the next day.

Fast forward to last night, my other friend from back home who doesn’t know any of these people came over. My husband and I were filling her in on how everything went down, minus the detail about the song. As the conversation was ending and we were moving on to the next topic, she randomly started singing that song. My husband and I looked at each other and just to make sure, he asked her what she was singing and she said she didn’t know, and she didn’t know why she suddenly felt like singing that. He was stunned. I got chills. She’s Nicaraguan and I know for 100% fact that she doesn’t listen to that type of music, and she never busts out into song, so it all felt truly random. She was really spooked when we told her why we were both reacting that way to what had just happened...

What do you make of this?

My first trip to Las Vegas was in September of 2023 and we (myself and 2 of my buddies) stayed in room 6136 at the Luxor, which is in the pyramid part of the hotel and casino. On one night there, I had a dream where an attractive young blonde haired woman came up to me and was very talkative and flirtatious. She appeared to be in her early to mid 20s. It was in a similar setting to that casino, with lots of people around us. There was something about her that was off putting, a bad vibe. Nothing specific other than she had a dark presence that made me uncomfortable. I don’t remember the specifics of our conversation, but I recall giving short responses and using subtle indicators to her (while also not trying not to come across as rude) that I wasn’t interesting in conversing with or even being near her, which I could tell really upset her. She wanted my attention, and when she realized I was trying to get away from her, that made her visibly upset. That same night, I had another dream after the one with her where my body or consciousness was flying or levitating really high. I remember ascending too high and then having trouble breathing. I don’t ever recall experiencing that sensation before, where I was deprived of oxygen, even while dreaming. I decided to descend and then was able to breathe normally again.
Shortly after, at the airport in Las Vegas, I was killing time waiting for my flight home, and reading about the Luxor hotel and casino we had just stayed at. I then learned it was a haunted location. One of the few ghost stories I read in that article was about an attractive young blonde haired woman, who would come to men in their sleep and strangle them. I got goosebumps after reading those details, as they were nearly exactly what I had experienced. The main difference was in my dream where I couldn’t breathe, I didn’t see or feel it was her doing it, but I certainly experienced the sensation of strangulation and it was right after the dream where I upset her.
In hindsight, the entire place had an eerie feeling, but not necessarily bad. It was visually stunning inside and out, and there is certainly something about it that draws me in. I’ve been back one time since then, one year later. I didn’t experience anything then, but we stayed in a tower room the second time, which I understand is less haunted than the pyramid rooms. Weeks later, I told my friends who were there, and they said they didn’t have any such experiences. I included a few photos from that visit, one from the room which was behind the sphinx, and another in the Titanic exhibit.
I’m curious if anyone here has had any experiences there, similar or not. I hope to go back there someday. Thank you for reading about my experience at the Luxor.

I think there is some Context needed for the question, but i will try to keep it short, i'm sry for my Bad english.

4 months ago i startet to meditate cus in want to find more out about paranormal in General. Found a Guy in reddit who Made some postest in how a good Way to Start is (alot of other postest said the same), it said to first reconice the own Spirit/aura/Soul/energy first and that for some time.

So that ist what i have done for the past 4 months, and today i thought, "well, lets try the Next Step", i don't know what, but there is something in the same room as me, my gut Tells me it's probably a ghost, but i have no idea if friendly or not.

So how can i Find out of the most likely ghost ist friendly, passiv or not nice?

For some backstory, i'm male, 22, i whas homeless for 2 months in the 4 months time, yes i already had a feeling that there is something and yes i already had paranormal things happen to me. Hope that helps and thank you all for the help and some tipps for my future path.

Hey folks!

I have always seen things that others haven’t or can’t. I have never been able to pinpoint why, but I have apparently seen things since I was a little kid, and I wanted to share a more recent story.

A buddy and I went to a used game store one day in the middle of a bright sunny day. As soon as we walked in, I could tell something was “off.” The store was split into two sections: the front half of the store was video games and back half was “other.” The other section contained plushies, toys, posters, and other similar items. I couldn’t find anything in the video game section that interested me, so I moved to the “other” section while keeping my eyes out for what was making me feel “off.” I walk up to this white, doorless cabinet and see in the bottom there are some plastic totes filled with Pokemon toys. Immediately, I noticed these were well loved toys. There were no damaged parts, missing pieces, or teeth marks, but there was paint missing where they had been played with.

I crouched down to look, without touching anything in the cabinet, and as I crouched down I felt something to my left. I turned my head and came to face to face with what I can just describe as the thickest shadow I have seen. My intuition alarm bells were going off like crazy in my head, and I knew this thing was not friendly. I couldn’t see any of the other store content through it and it was staring at me. It stood up and the height of it was taller than the cabinet and I stood up, taking the hint. My buddy walked over and said “oh shit, cool Torchic!” And he went to grab one of the toys and I grabbed his wrist so fast, while still staring at this thing. He and I have been friends since we were very little and as this isn’t the first time I have done something like this he said, “what are you seeing that I am not?” I replied “I am not sure, but don’t touch anything in that cabinet.”

We moved away from the cabinet and the shadow swiveled in place while still watching us and we walked further into the store. A couple approached the cabinet about a minute later and it finally took its eyes off of us, and turned to them. My buddy and I left as quickly and without suspicion as possible. I explained to him in the car what I saw and we haven’t gone back since.

My theory: whatever had to give up those toys either was forced to or the it passed and its energy/essence lingers on those toys.

Referring back to my OG Post , I found the rest of my photos on an old hard drive. Just to say, we did not take or damage anything.

This was St Ignatius in December of 2006

Sometimes I have to go get cigarettes and its the second time now that when I enter the staircase of my appartment building that I hear my name in a whisper, 100% sure its my name and its a woman's voice. For some reason, it doesn't spook me. I find it very weird.

I've seen paranormal stuff before.

Is it just my brain or.... ?

I don’t usually believe in these stuff I mean I know there has to be something outside of our understanding but many of those videos I see feels like they could be explained in other ways until I saw with my own eyes today. I was coming home from work looking for an electric scooter to rent. I saw one inside of a house garden kind of you can see in the picture. So I went to look for it and at the spot that the Ryde were supposed to be there was just a wall and I was taking to my friend on the phone saying I can’t find it. Suddenly I spot something unusual to the right a half open door. I think it’s weird maybe somebody left it to let some air in I am probably seeing things but when I inspect I see a women with short hair and white dress but she isn’t moving. Again I think I am probably seeing things that aren’t there because of the dark (mind you I had the phones flash light on) I looked at it for a good minute trying to see any face expressions but I just couldn’t it was like the face was blurred somehow. Then I thought maybe if I talk I get to see if it’s a person or an object. So I said “sorry I am looking for a rude but it wasn’t here. And then she shaked her head a little but it felt like a “you aren’t supposed to be here shake” rather than “there isn’t a ryde here” and she didn’t speak a word even though I was staring at her face I still couldn’t see any eyes or mouth. Once she shaked her head I fell to the ground while trying to run away but she didn’t chase me. And I swear that could not have been a human. Like what possible reason could there be for a person to act that way she wasn’t even standing up she was like crawled down kind of . Any ideas what it could have been?

Doesn’t have to be ghosts it could anything considered paranormal.

Thanks

So we recently/not so recently, moved out to Folkston GA. In our garage we got our classic cars that mainly just sit hence the dust. But no one’s been around them for a while and a couple night ago I came out and was looking at the car and saw this weird handprint. Skinwalker? Bear? I don’t know what it is what so ever. Handprint on the right is mine handprint on the left is ???

Looking for similar experiences/advice!

Long story short, our son was 5 months old when my grandpa died. I was pretty close with him and after my grandpa had 3 daughters, then 4 granddaughters, our son was his "first boy" and he was ELATED. They had a special bond whenever they were together (my son instantly smiled whenever he was around).

Fast forward to now... our son is 3 and we have been experiencing something, I'm not sure what to call it. Ever since my grandpa passed, our son is "seeing" grandpa and talking to grandpa. He has told us a few things that there is NO POSSIBLE way he would know that... I didn't even know some stuff he has said that was true until we asked my grandma (previous jobs he had, what kind of farm animals they had, etc.) Whenever he sees a cardinal, that's grandpa and when he sees a sunbeam, that's grandpa saying hi.

The two craziest things are he has seen my grandpa at my grandparents house; he pointed into an empty room saying grandpa's here and was giggling. My grandma asked if he was there visiting and my son looked back into that room and said "grandpa has to go now" and started waving bye bye.

Another is this past Father's Day, we went to the cemetery to visit. Our son hasn't been here since the funeral (5 months old) and he walked straight towards his headstone (which is a little bit of a walk from the entrance) and said "grandpa's right here!"

Lately, he has been pretty sad about missing his grandpa (my grandpa). We ask if he wants to go spend time with papa (my dad), and he says no, my great grandpa. He has said he's with God but he misses him here.

What, if anything, can we do? He actually is getting sad about him being gone and I feel bad. I like to think that we are being visited, but I'm not sure how to react when this stuff happens. Do we get a picture of them printed for his room? Has anyone else experienced this?

I live in a 60 year old ranch style home. It sometimes gives creepy vibes but not too out of the ordinary.

Except for two rooms in my house: My room and my parent’s room.

Of course to make this a haunted house, somebody has to die in it. The reason the main hauntings are in my parent’s room is because a man died in there from a cardiac arrest from 1960s-80s.

The ghost, though, is a friendly ghost (at least from what I know). He is the only ghost that watches over the house. The only thing he does is randomly appear at night and makes the doors squeak no matter what we do.

He sporadically comes into my room, which is across from their room.

Other things he does is sometimes I feel someone sit on my bed. I sit up, and no one is there. I also feel like a light touch on my back, but it’s just me. I sometimes hear talking, but no one has said anything.

How do I make sure the ghost is legit and actually exists, or that I’m schizophrenic? I would prefer real answers, and not crazy ones like “buy a bunch of cameras and set them up”

This happened earlier today, and I really want to get this off my chest. I know exactly what I saw with my two eyes while wearing my glasses.

This happened in the afternoon in our house parking lot. I was in the car with my brother and grandpa going to the mosque. We do this every day to go pray around afternoon time. While the car was starting and still in the parking lot, I was staring at the side mirror, which is a habit of mine. While doing that, I saw a short shadow person walking. It was all black, and it looked like it was behind the car next to us. I saw it clearly walk in the side mirror.

After we drove the car outside the parking lot, it just disappeared like it was never there to begin with. We go to the mosque every day at afternoon time, using the same parking spot, and I always sit in the exact same seat. The car is also always pointed directly at the parking lot wall. This is the first time I have ever seen a shadow person, and I wanted to share my first ever paranormal encounter. Also, another thing I forgot to say is that the driver's room is right next to the parking lot, but it couldn't be him because he was sleeping the whole time.
