I had a dream where I was walking through a black void. I could see someone in the distance; they were kneeling in a pool of inky black water. As I got closer, I somehow knew instinctively that this figure was God.
Oddly enough, God didn't look like how God is supposed to look. God looked more like me.
Once I was able to see the face, I noticed that God was crying, and that the black pool was steadily rising. God said: "child, I love you. Like a dog, I love you. Like a mother who would kill to save her infant son, I love you. Why did you leave me?"
At the end of the dream, the black water covered God's face and I couldn't see anything anymore.

The mouse was listening
Our old family house
2003
In my old family house that we have long moved away from, my mom and I jointly had several bizarre experiences -- one was a puff of dark smoke/some sort of entity that would linger over the bed in the master bedroom and slowly fade away. Another was a voice calling our names in the living room. Perhaps those incidents could have been caused by a leaky gas stove or something (though we did have carbon monoxide detectors!), the last incident was the most bizarre and unexplainable.
I distinctly remember sitting in the kitchen, sipping tea with my mom as we chatted about nothing, as we did. We were talking about how it was nice that our cats' presence in the house kept away pests (not sure why were discussing this, but I think maybe my mom's friend had a rodent issue in their rental house). In fact, we had not seen any pests -- besides perhaps a few spiders here and there -- for the entire ten years we had been living there. As soon as I nodded, I saw a tiny shape appear in the corner of my eye. My mom noticed at the same time and gasped -- it was a MOUSE. A little, very cute mouse, perhaps a juvenile. He seemed to look up at us with no fear, as if to say "we *do* live here, actually!" -- my mom and I laughed at the absurdity of it and the mouse, very casually, trotted away somewhere. We never saw a mouse ever again at that house.

Helpful ghost at the Saar’s supermarket
Saar's Super Saver Foods
2021
My daughter and I were wandering around Saar's for a while on a slow day -- there were barely any people around. Since we rarely went to Saar's to shop, we were a bit lost on where things were. One of the last things on our shopping list was seedy bread, and we could not find the bread section at all. We were joking around about talking to the spirits at Saar's and asking them for help in finding some of the bread we were looking for, and as soon as we did so, we rolled our cart miraculously into the bread aisle and a loaf of good looking seedy bread FELL right at our feet. We thanked the Saar's spirits in amazement and left with the bread.

A Voice in the Night
Granny's House
N/A
I had heard stories from family members about paranormal activities happening at my Granny's house but had never experienced anything myself—until one night in July, if I'm not mistaken. As I was trying to sleep, I suddenly heard a deep voice. It was the voice of a man, clear and resonant, and he said, "You will remember this." I wasn't sure what he was referring to, but the eerie experience frightened me enough that I stayed awake the entire night, watching cartoons with my headphones turned up loud to calm my nerves.

Running Ghost
S. Old Hwy 2 × 3 Ave
N/A
I was around fourteen when I experienced this. I’m not sure what prompted me to look out my bedroom window, but when I did, I saw the silhouette of a young man running down Third Avenue. It felt as if time had slowed down. At first, I questioned what I was seeing, but then I realized he was transparent and slowly faded away. Strangely, I didn’t feel scared; instead, I felt a sense of relief. This memory has stayed with me, and I can still see it.

Strange, Disembodied Female Voices
Garden of Eden
April 6, 2024
I was with my Boy Scouts group for a two night camping trip in a military training area near the main Army base that Scouts were permitted to use for camp outs and outings. One night, we were all playing hide and seek in one of the huge concrete training buildings. I was hiding in a room on the second floor when I heard two distinct female voices talking from the floor below me. I immediately thought that the girl who was the seeker had found the only other girl who was there with us (there were only three of us girls and about five or six boys). Shortly after the voices had stopped, I started hearing the girl who was the seeker singing. She was always singing creepy nursery rhymes when she was in these echoey buildings so I didn’t think anything of it. Soon she found me and I asked her where the other girl who she had found was, but she said I was the first person to be found. I was confused and asked her if she had been talking to anyone before she started singing. She was also confused and said no, she hadn’t made a sound before the singing. After the game was over and everyone was all together, I asked everyone if anyone had been talking at all at that point in the game when I had heard voices and they all said no. I still puzzle over this today.

The disturbed Ley Lines of Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop
Uncle Ike’s
11/27/24
This area and business has alot of history with violence, protesting, and community opposition. In all my years in paranormal studies I’ve never seen such consistency of community opposition while still patronizing the space. I suspect a strong hold of dark forces being fed now that there is a liquor store there. With much experience with the deceased I believe this area was once some form of sacred indigenous site but the tribe in which land this was prior to all the most recent inhabitants. There seems to be a legacy of betrayal and violence at this intersection. Interactions are notorious to house ellegua, exu, and other spirits of the diaspora that guard portals. Based on my experience I suppose there are a number of ghost and trapped spirits in this area fueling the overwhelming rage and jealousy. Would be best for the owner to do more than attempting to appease the living that he may suspected to fear. He needs to make amends with the land and the indigenous people of that land, he’s never done anything for them. No land acknowledgment, no medicine ceremony to include the very powerful natives of Seattle in the medicine they carried also prior and alongside the BIPOC community which many are related to. Trap culture is indigenous culture and those spirits are restless in this area. The most wrathful ancestors and ghost are those of warriors and fallen soldiers that never got their mission accomplished and feel un heard

Fort Lewis MP sees more than he’s supposed to while doing his rounds.
Fort Lewis, Military Base, southwest of Tacoma, Washington
Early 1960's
My dad was an MP stationed in Fort Lewis in the early 1960's. He's driven out with his best friend and his brother, leaving behind my mom. He did well enough in training to become and MP, though much to his regret, he was not allowed to use flame throwers.
He told me of his experience(s) in the last year of his life, after we watched Communion. He cried when he told me. I'd only ever seen him cry two other times. When his brother died and when his dad died.
As an MP, he often patrolled at night. Anyone who has ever spent time on a mountain knows you see weird things. I don't think he was prepared for what he saw.
It started with orange blobs of light in the forest. Sometimes just one. Sometimes a group. When there more, he said it looked as though they were dancing.
Then lights in the sky. These lights were large and moved with great speed and agility. He did not enjoy this kind experience. They often left him filled with dread.
The last addition to his nighttime adventures were large beings in the forest. Tall, hairy and heavy set. They often appeared with the orange lights. These beings intrigued him. He looked up the native lore and came to enjoy seeing them. This led him to a lifelong love of the forest and Native lore.
When he left the army, he was told to never speak of what he saw. To anyone. He was told he would lose, "everything he holds dear." His job, his family, friends. He left Washington along, losing his friend George because he had dared to speak to him about it. He wept over the loss of his friend. And as he told me all of this, very late at night, he looked over and asked if I had ever been abducted. I said no. I had lost time, but there was no abduction.
"Thank God," he said. And wept again.
He never spoke of it again.

What I thought was a dog.
Inside Enniscorthy castle
Summer of 2023
Sorry in advance if this is the wrong category, i didnt know if this counts as high strangeness
Last summer me and my family went to enniscorthy castle since it was allegedly haunted and the first haunted place we wanted to go to, didnt exist? (no joke we followed directions and we were at an abandoned farm)
I didnt own any paranormal gear at the time asides from my own eyes and a journal in which i write all the unexplainable stuff thats happened to me. So we went and nothing was visibly off, but as soon as i entered i got this horrible sense of dread. I chalked it up to paranoia and walked on, for context this place has loads of winding and turning stairs. I ended up getting distracted and, obliviously, started walking up them alone. I trotted up and up and up, but when i stood on what i thought was the second level. I lay upon the ground level again, i looked around frantically and ran back down. I was still in the same area , eventually i heard my mother calling for me in one of the other rooms. I didnt leave her side after that, and when we were on the second floor together it looked completely different to the first floor

Haunted Gothic Cafe
Triple Six Social
Daily
I have a gothic cafe with a haunted museum. We get daily ghostly goings on. From doors opening by themselves, glass shattering and teleporting by themselves, weird anomaly that look like UFO or an intelligent haunt. Books will fly off the shelf and pens will fly off the tables. We get locked out of rooms when the rooms lock from the inside with no one there.
The ghosts get lively especially after a really busy day. The next few days it gets real active. Then they usually chill for a few days.

Menos de 1 minuto depois, eu saí da cozinha, e ao passar pela porta, ela estava aberta com toda a tranca pra fora, como se alguém tivesse destrancado a porta, aberto, e depois virado a chave no trinco colocando a tranca pra fora. Minha mãe sempre gostou de feng shui e tínhamos um soninho atrás da porta que fazia barulho toda vez que a porta abria, mas esse dia foi tudo em silêncio

What I thought was a dog.
Some random field near my past lovers house.
Sometime around 2017
I've always seen things others haven't, ghosts, doors opening by themselves, UFOs, things moving on their own, you name it. That begs the question of what was my first unexplainable sighting, this is it. To set the scene this was near my lover's (now ex's) house with my mother when I was a young, naïve and most of all, clueless, child.
Mother and I were walking on some field near his house, until I saw something in my peripheral resembling the shape of a dog. I'd always been very fond of dogs and would run up to them without hesitation, so that's what I had done. Except when I had turned around nothing was there, the fields stretched on for miles without any signs of life, I looked around frantically in a dazed and confused state. Nothing. We were alone. I still remember the feeling of dread that struck me at that moment, it was the type that hit you in the chest and never fully left.
I never told my parents, nor anyone asides from now.
See, this would've been a little strange and nothing else if one thing didn't happen.
I saw that exact same dog on a missing poster a week later: same size, same hazy look in its eyes, and most of all it had that same strange black fur, fluffy but not fluffy enough to be what I thought it was (a German Shepherd)
I haven't been to that field since, mainly out of fear, cowardice, and a lack of time.

Saucer shaped ufo
Bernissart motorway exit
January 1984
In the car on the motorway on the way to Tournai at 7.30 pm on a cold winter evening we saw in the distance blinking lights right over the road lights. The object quickly flew towards us, as it was about to fly over the car it abruptly did a 90 degree turn to our right and disappeared. The object was of a dull metal color covered in red and white lights (like led xmas tree lights). It was the typical saucer shape with a dome, about 10 m in diameter .

Strange floating tube of light
Nanchang
1945
My grandfather told me about an unusual experience he had just after the liberation from the Japanese occupation. While patrolling on a peak overlooking Nanchang, he saw what looked like a tube of light hovering in the air along the dirt path in front of him. He described it as being about the thickness of a hose, strangely floating just above the ground, yet not casting any light around it. Unsure of what he was seeing, he raised his weapon and called out, “Halt! Who’s there?” When it didn’t react, he felt a chill, remembering stories of dragons, and, spooked, he turned around and walked back, leaving his patrol unfinished.

Surgiu sangue no banheiro da escola
Yllei Ghost
2014
Por volta do ano de 2014/2015 estudei em uma escola pública na cidade de Curitiba, a qual não revelarei os dados exatos por motivos óbvios.
Eu tinha uns 8 ou 9 anos mais ou menos e era comum crianças brincarem com o sobrenatural naquela época invocando nomes e até fazendo "rituais mais comuns" entre as crianças como, o ritual da "Maria sangrenta". Bem, de maneira resumida, haviam 2 alas naquela escola e essas alas eram enormes corredores onde ficavam as salas de aula, na entrada de cada ala havia um banheiro feminino e um masculino e entre as portas havia um bebedouro que ia de uma porta a outra. A ala da direita seguia esse mesmo padrão, e por um bom tempo os banheiros daquele lado estevam em reformas e inutilizáveis.
Quando houve a liberação dos banheiros da ala da direita as crianças começaram a abusar do uso de papel higiênico, a jogarem rolos e papel das lixeiras uns nos outros e nisso as pedagogas fizeram uma reunião e advertiram a escola toda, depois do ocorrido passou a ficar uma tiazinha da limpeza em cada porta dos banheiros... e elas eram responsáveis por entregarem uma quantia de papel para cada criança.
Eu nunca fui de ir no banheiro da escola e ia somente em caso de extrema necessidade (Pois todo mundo sabe que banheiro de escola é algo insalubre :D ). Então chegou o dia em que precisei usar o banheiro no horário do recreio, o intervalo já tava quase no final e então eu tinha ido, pego um pouco de papel higiênico com a tiazinha que estava na entrada e entrado na segunda cabine, ela era próxima da entrada.
- Ressaltando que: Eu estava sozinha e não havia mais ninguém no banheiro além de mim, haviam varias cabines e me lembro muito bem de que elas estavam com a porta a aberta e vazias, só havia eu lá no momento e a tiazinha estava na porta para o lado de fora... E o chão do banheiro estava limpo e não havia nada de estranho até então.
Depois de eu ter usado o banheiro e aberto a porta da cabine onde eu estava eu ME DEPAREI COM UM ENORME RASTRO DE SANGUE, aquilo vinha da última cabine e ia quase até a porta da entrada do banheiro (eu sei... é foi estranho e não faz o mínimo sentido). Aquele rastro de sangue era como se alguém tivesse arrastado um corpo ou algo grande da ultima cabine e parado na porta... Mas não fazia sentido, porque foi em um período muito curto de tempo em que tudo aquilo ocorreu e enquanto eu tava na cabine eu não tinha ouvido nada e nem visto nenhum vulto por baixo da fresta da porta. Haviam chegado duas meninas na porta e elas me perguntaram o que era todo aquele sangue, eu respondi que não sabia, a tiazinha que estava na porta também tinha ficado encucada e tinha feito varias perguntas etc... A tiazinha não tinha visto ninguém entrar no banheiro, ela não tinha visto nada estranho e só foi ver aquilo quando ela entrou pra ver o que estava acontecendo ali. Depois de tudo aquilo eu sai do banheiro, tinha chamado umas amigas na época para ver aquilo e estavam limpando o sangue quando fomos ver aquilo, a pedagoga tinha ido ver o que tinha acontecido e praticamente não tinha explicação e muito menos sentido, foi muito estranho e até hoje fico pensando no que aconteceu para surgir aquele monte de sangue no banheiro.
Hoje em dia não sei o como esta a escola e duvido muito que alguém lembre disso, mas só sei que foi bizarro e me pergunto se tem alguma coisa haver com a Maria sangrenta.

Rv park haunting
Mannor rv park
5:45 pm Monday November 5th 2024
Today I was chilling inside my rv sitting on the couch when I suddenly felt bad like someone or something was staring at me, I got up to close the blinds to all the windows when I heard what sounded like a lady about 20s to early 30s saying "please help me" in a flat but clear voice right by the door were i was standing, at first I thought it was my friend who was in the next trailer over who needed help bringing something inside and I stepped closer to the door and asked "yeah? What do you need help with?", no response, I replayed the voice in my head and realized it didn't sound like my friend, and I was about to open the door when I got a really bad feeling not to, my three dogs were all staring at the door one of them was growling and one was whining while the other was just staring, I quickly started to walk to the bedroom and as I walked pasted the window I heard "help me" again in the same voice but a bit more loud and aggressive than before, and as it happened the door was hard to open and when it stopped talking the door opened, each time I heard the voice the rv shook a bit and it sounded like someone was coming up the steps into the rv but that's weird because the steps don't come out unless the screen door is open and it was shut, I texted my friend and told her and she said right before I texted her her trailer was shaking a bit and her dogs were whining too and she felt like someone was outside her trailer

Photographic vision come true years after
Hazratganj, Lucknow.
September 2015 and then again 21 may 2022
It was September 2015 or 16 (I was young so I don't remember that well) and I had a very vivid dream that I can remember almost photographically even today (not very usual for me as I have aphantasia)
In my dream I was standing on a balcony in a school which I'd never been to. The school in my dream looked a bit like the one I was going to but not really, the school I actually went to had only one floor apart from the ground floor, and the railings were maybe 3.5 feet in height, not to mention that the balcony was small and crowded and there weren't any trees near the balcony.
But in the dream the balcony was higher than me, around 6 feet with black railings and a thick tree in front. It was the third floor and the tree bore round greenish fruits and there were people around me, which I was trying to recognise as my friends but I couldn't recognise their faces.
Then someone started shouting at me in anger, and I climbed up the railings and jumped down, and woke up in cold sweat.
I have been born and raised in Lucknow, but in 2021, April both my parents got COVID and nearly died, and due to the pollution levels in my city we all had to permanently move to a hilly area with less pollution.
Here I was admitted to a new school, 10th grade, May 2022 and entering the corridor of my classroom I was hit with strong deja vu, and I realised that it was the exact same corridor I'd seen in my dream,
3rd floor,
Same people walking around
Same tree with the same fruit
Same railings
And I even wore the same outfit
I haven't yet tried to jump off the balcony but I'm starting to believe it was symbolic because my mental health has never been as terrible as it is here, and so have my academic performance. I went from straight As to Cs and even Ds. So a symbolic downfall.

Door shutting by it’s self
the log cabin
2023 December 10th
A year ago me and my friend group of (at the time) 7, we were hanging out at the log cabin on a Tuesday like usual. It was around 8, 7 pm, it was pretty dark. We were outside wondering around the large land around the log cabins property. Since all the weeds and stuff were gone due to it being winter, we could see everything around us. Right next to the log cabin is an abandoned house (it's being renovated now I believe.) At the time we were really into the paranormal and liked using an ouija board. (Don't recommend doing this) The day before we had used it to talk to what we believed was a "good spirit." Back in the present we were just having fun like kids do, but one of us spots something at the abandoned house and they yell "Guys I just saw something at the abandoned house." And when that happened everyone decided to go inside the abandoned house to investigate (VERY BAD IDEA) Once we got inside the house we walked around with crushed glass underneath our feet. (idk where it came from) Two of my friends were in the living room, three were in the bedroom, while me and the last friend were in the bathroom. As we were just talking and looking around the destroyed place. Randomly the bedroom door closed. Me and the friend didn't think anything of it at first, before the three friends rushed out and started screaming that they didn't shut the door. (By the way it was not a Windy day and all the windows and doors were intacted and closed)

Strange Lights
Trabzon
March of 2024
I was in Trabzon for my grandpa's funeral and I was staying with my aunt in their house. I didn't go to the funeral myself since I had to take care of my little cousin when my aunt and uncle left cuz none of my other cousins came to Trabzon, so I was the only one there willing to stay behind. We had fun during the day (kids like me lmao) but during the night things started getting weird. My little cousin asked multiple times if we can watch horror movies and I said no since she was a kid, and I started feeling like someone was watching us so I closed the blinds and made her go to sleep a while after, and she asked me to sleep with her because she was scared. Half an hour went on, I'm awake in a completely dark room (in which I forgot to close the blinds) with a kid sleeping next to me, and I can't fucking move like there's something holding me down and there are random lights right outside the window. I just brushed them off as car lights since they did look like that... The window was practically looking off to a cliff, the road was on the other side of the house.

Is Denton, Texas Cursed Land?
Denton, Texas, U.S.
Year of 2024
DFW area of Texas, I believe, may be cursed land. What I mean by this is that it is a hot spot for strange and often dark paranormal phenomenon. Specially, though, Denton. Currently, I live in Denton and my family and myself have had to put very strong protection on our house and ask all of our Spirit Guardians to keep anything out that does not have our highest and best intentions in mind. When I connect to the earth here there is an ancient darkness buried deep under that feels like a curse, perhaps placed by a Native American tribe long ago, or perhaps the result of a very bloody war. Nonetheless, the energy here is very strange and dark and gotten increasingly so over the years since I have lived here. It has gotten to a point that my dear mother is moving us to Plano to get away from the headache of the chaos.
Anyone who wishes to move here who is sensitive to those sort things, make sure to put very strong protection over your house and stay safe.

Light Figure
Hickam Airforce base
2018
This happened when I was about 8 or 9, in my house on the base. I was standing at the top of the stairs looking down and I saw, at the bottom of the stairs kind of off to the side a figure of what looked like a man. The way he looked is hard to explain. It reminded me of when you look at an object in front of a bright light and when you look away you can still see a bright outline of the object. He was the outline. As I looked he faded and I remember being a bit surprised but not alarmed. That was the first of two times I saw him. The second time, (I was about the same age) I was walking down the hallway and he appeared in front of me. I stopped walking, surprised and again he faded after a second or two. Not sure if its related but before my family lived in the house there was a bad fire in the garage. I was never told exactly what happed (being so young) or if anyone died. (In the fire or otherwise.)

Me and my friends, fresh out of college, early 20s, decided to travel around and go crazy on the continents. When this happened, we were in Amsterdam. Very few times then was I ever sober, and even fewer did I act like it. Maybe that’s why I went alone that morning. I met a guy in a café, while my friends were still asleep. We chatted it up, but I don’t remember much about him. Only that he asked me a favor and offered a large amount of money. Not thinking correctly, I accepted without asking what the favor was. He left and gave me the money before I could ask. I didn’t see him in Amsterdam after that. I decided to keep the money and not spend it, just in case we ran into each other and he wanted it back. After I left Amsterdam (still no sign of the guy), I got a job. I bought a tiny home with my own money (not the favor money), and eventually a year passes. Then two. Three. It took a while before I decided it was safe to spend some of the favor money, so I bought myself a bigger house. Life was going smoothly, until one day, a package arrived. It was a coffin. Etched on it was the words, ‘DO NOT OPEN.’ It had thick metal chains around it, a key, and a lock. I didn’t smell anything out of the sort, so I decided it must have been empty. Assuming that this was the favor, I placed it in my living room.
A few months passed, so if anything was in it, it would have been dead. One morning, I placed my drink on it. It started rattling and groaning. I took it off, and it stopped. I slowly placed it back on, and it started rattling and groaning once again. I didn’t dare place my cup on the coffin again. It rattled and groaned when it rained as well, so I got earplugs and stayed in my room when it rained.
Then, the strangest thing started happening. I was sleepwalking. I know, I know, sleepwalking is quite normal, but I had never sleepwalked before. And every time I woke up, I always had the key to the coffin in my hand. One time I woke up, about to open the coffin. To prevent this, I placed the key in a bowl of water, and placed it in the freezer so it was stuck in the ice.
This worked, but I still woke up, desperately trying to scratch the key out of the ice. It honestly scared me, so just to be safe, I hid it in the back of the freezer.
When this ended, the man from Amsterdam came back. He had two delivery men with him. I don’t know why, but he looked shocked to see me there. As if he expected me to be… dead. I knew they were here for the coffin, so I smashed the ice and gave them the key. Told ‘em the coffin was in the living room. I didn’t want to follow them, so I stayed put. They left to get it, and I heard a scream. What came back was the two delivery men (who were unfazed, their faces neutral), the coffin, but the man from Amsterdam was missing. They just left without saying a word.
And no, the man from Amsterdam was not in my house after the delivery men and the coffin left.
(DISCLAIMER: this did not actually occur to me, I am just retelling an episode of The Magnus Archives, a horror podcast. All credits to them, I just paraphrased it. The episode is titled “MAG 2 Do Not Open”. Please listen to this podcast, it’s amazing.)

Ghost hug
Carmen
2015
I was about 9 and was sleeping in my bed when i felt someone hug me. At first I thought it was my younger brother who would sometimes come to my room at night. I opened my eyes and saw no one. Sat up and looked around, the warm feeling still lingering. No one was in my room. I ran and told my mom and she said it was probably my ‘guardian angel’ so i guess she couldn’t figure out what it was. It was terrifying though. It was so real and i still felt warm after i realized no one was touching me. It wasn’t just the feeling of someone hugging me, i felt pressure.

Fairy
Kelly
8/7/24
I was at camp (it was about 8:00 pm) and I was walking back to my cabin. This blue flying thing shot from the trees down into the ground. When I looked where it landed nothing was there. I think it might have been a fairy but I don’t know, I might just be paranoid. (P.S. I tried to get the most accurate location)

Visions of the future
Lakeside landing apartments
5/12/2020
I was 9 years old at the time I always believed an aliens ghosts in the supernatural. And one day I was trying to go to bed I think it was summer and my parents were already asleep I looked out my window and I saw two alien spaceships fly not too far away up into the sky, at least 500 ft.
And after that things just got worse I started having a vision that there were like almost mounds in volcanoes on my skin with smoke coming out of them the dream felt so real I could actually feel pain. After that my vision came true in my skin started getting worse I started getting like boiling plus filled spots on my skin and after that everything started getting worse. In the vision it was only on my arms but when it got worse it went all over my body except my stomach my chest and my feet but it was everywhere else.
I've also had similar experiences with visions after that, my mom started getting feelings for one of her new friends, and right as I saw him I knew he was going to be the devil in our life, and just to say I am an atheist so I usually don't say things like this, but not too long after that he was like the devil. It was me mentally manipulating her and he was breaking our stuff he was practically hypnotizing her, and he kept manipulating her by telling her that he would get better that everything would be okay but he kept hurting her again and again and again.
And just to recap I never get dreams. It's very rare for me to get dreams.
I don't know what this means for me and my family but I trust these visions and to keeping my family safe and to know that everything will be okay

Ghostly Shipper
The UPS Store
2021-2024
I work at the local UPS Store and in the years I've been working there I have experienced a handful of strange occasions that I can't logically explain. One of the first times, a coworker and I were sat inside the office and suddenly heard a loud crashing noise from our mail room as if all of the shelving fell down. We both got up to investigate but found everything still completely in place and intact. In another instance, I was alone and preparing to close down for the day when a panel for a ceiling light fell down just as I was walking by. It was close but it slightly missed me and slammed on the ground. The most strange part about it was we had recently undergone an inspection which included checking on all of the light fixtures and everything was deemed up to date. There is one occurrence that has been repetitive as well. We have a security system installed that audibly alerts when the front door or back door opens and we mostly use that as a notification that a customer has entered in the front. Multiple times I or one of my coworkers have heard the notification go off without anybody entering through either door and we've had this happen even after the store is closed and the door is locked. I'm not going to confirm that this is the activity of a ghost but I do believe in them and would not be surprised if what we've encountered turned out to be a genuine ghost.

Whispers In My Ear/Bag Ghost
My home
Sometime in 2023
1st story: Whispers In My Ear
I was just lying in my bed, trying to go to sleep, when suddenly I hear these extremely loud whispers in my ear that I immediately forgot after the whispers stopped, which scared me, so I had to text my friend to make me feel better.
2nd story: Bag Ghost
Same place. I was also about to go to sleep when I see words on the bottom of my foot. But the only word I was able to make out was the word “bag” in orange text. Which was strange and it concerned me, so I talked to a friend again to make myself feel better. We called it “the curse of the bag.”

Unusual drone like puff of smoke.
Shrewsbury, Shropshire, United Kingdom
2021 to 2022, forgot exactly when
I’m sceptical about the paranormal. None of the houses have chimneys in the area it happened. But I’m not sure what this could’ve been. It was a clear afternoon, I think in 2021 or 2022, I was recording a video on my old phone when I captured something very unusual, a rolling puff of thick white smoke in the sky but it was definitely not a cloud, it was hovering just above my neighbours house, it moved unusually fast and was almost at roof level. I managed to film it for a few seconds as it ascended quickly across the sky before vanishing immediately. It also seemed to move in different directions too, a few times it hovered back and forth before it disappeared in the blink of an eye. I was around 12 when this happened, so it’s likely I was just confused, but I swear on my life it seemed too out of place to just be my imagination. I had shown my family and they all agreed they saw it and how strange it was, and a neighbour said she also spotted something similar not too long before the time of my story. I believe in aliens as there’s no way we are the only planet with life, but I don’t think this was a UFO or potential alien technology. Before I broke my old phone I think I posted it on tiktok, but I can’t for the life of me find the account as I probably used my parent’s old Email or didn’t verify the Email, I’m not sure what to do to find the video but I wish I could as it was the strangest experience of my life.

Camping, #2
Ouachita National Forest
Summer, 2024
This is the second story I got from camping at Lake Ouachita.
My Grammy and Grandad have a spot on the lake with cabins. We go every summer to camp for a handful of days, always with an understanding that weird things can and will happen.
We are winding down after a long day, probably sunburnt. We sit around one of two fires. My mom, who has a degree in soil science from the University of Arkansas, suggests we listen to the animals. And we all go quiet, content in listening to the frogs and bugs.
When we hear something. A screech, almost that of a yowl, not far away either.
Imagine the sound of a human woman and a coyote or mountain lion. Maybe even a hyena.
Anyways, with a rough idea of how it sounded, I'm sure it's understood why everyone immediately froze, our blood ran cold.
I'm tempted to wonder if it was a Skinwalker. It was so eerie and loud. The voice carried through the valley too.
We heard one, then another, then three shrieks.
"that's not a coyote or mountain lion." my mom says, "... its a frog."
Moral of the story, remember that frogs can make some crazy ass noises.

Camping.
Ouachita National Forest
Summer, 2023
My Grammy and Granddad have a spot right next to Lake Ouachita, given to my Grammy via inheritance. It's some army training base that she gets to take us all to when its not being used. It's a very nice spot, and my Grammy and her family had been going there since she was a kid.
We always go every summer with an understanding that shit can and will happen.
I could tell quite a few eerie stories from there, but for now I will tell this one.
In the summer of 2023, we went about three times to the lake. One particular trip, we were staying a week. The second or third night, we are sitting around the campfire, winding down after a day of my Grandad slinging us off a Big Mabel from his boat.
We're sitting, telling stories, when we see something in the sky. We see shooting stars there plenty, but this was not a shooting star.
It moved slower than a star, and the tail of it stayed in the sky well after it was gone.
We started trying to get service, seeing if there was any news about some space project or something odd like that.
And not two minutes after it falls beyond the horizon, we hear something hit the earth, probably only a few miles away. We heard it echo through the valley.
And there was no news of any meteors, space debris, space projects, nothing. Not even after we had gotten back.

Paranormal experiences in the woods
Woods
2021-2024
I moved from the cities to central WI three years ago while spending my time exploring the woods around the area. I found this chunk of public land in the forest and decided to explore for awhile. Almost every single time I went there, I had some sort of paranormal or supernatural experience. It is almost like a magnet for strange things to happen there.
It first started off seeing many signs of the fae being there, until my friend and I actually saw the fae right in front of our eyes. Wasn't the last time we would experience them either. Whispers in the dark, bells, fairey circles, seeing tall figures, unexplainable marks and bruises, you name it.
That wasn't the only thing there either. If you go there at dusk alone with no form of technology, it is with almost certainty that you will hear a loud screech, feel like you are being watched, hear something follow you around, and feel breathing on your neck. Happened to me four times and will never go back without some type of protection.
Another reencounter that seems to happen there is what my friends have named Oreo. It is this ten-twelve feet tall creature with long legs, a white face, and glowing white eyes. It can run super fast on all fours or walk normally on two. One time a group of us were there in the dark when we all saw Oreo staring at us; we almost pissed ourselves and went home. Oreo has been seen from time to time but never hurts anyone so that's cool.
These are just a few examples of what has been seen or experienced out in these woods. I have had friends enter it as 100% nonbelievers and leave as 100% believers in the supernatural. If you ever decide to go, there is a good entrance point on Ranger Road by the dirt parking lot; you'll see it. Please bring someone to go with you and do not trespass onto other peoples land.

Bigfoot
North Ogden Divide
Winter 2021
A few years ago me and my younger brother were riding with my aunt and uncle up to Nordic Valley (A small ski resort). As we were driving I remember my aunt pointing up on a hillside on the mountain that we were passing through. I remember seeing a large dark figure walking straight down the slope. It was in the middle of winter and there was a decent amount of snow on the ground. The slope was steep and there was no hiking trails-or any trails-where it was coming down. In the span of about 15 seconds it disappeared into the trees at the bottom of the hill. After a few seconds of driving my aunt proclaimed, "I think we just saw Bigfoot". In short, I have no idea another explanation of what I saw. It was huge, it was dark, it was walking in massive strides down a steep, snow covered slope. Take it how you will, but there was something there, and it wasn't human.

A dream or not of shots?
my house
8/16/21
So, this one time I was about 12 years old, in my bedroom sleeping lightly when I heard multiple shots along with a woman's scream outside my house. I remember waking up to hear more of them fired at multiple times. I got really scared and refused to leave my bed, but after contemplating for about 30 minutes, I got up to go tell my parents. My parents told me that it was just fireworks or something. So, I believed them and went back to bed. But, here's the catch. When I woke up the next morning, I remember going to my parents mentioning the so called "firework" I heard last night. When I asked them this, they acted like they never heard or saw anything. To this day, I still don't know if I just dreamed of the shots and the lady or not.

St. Louis Cemetery No.3 — Mary
St. Louis Cemetery No. 3
September 6th, 2024
Hey, I'm a New Orleans local. I suppose I'll get straight to the point — recently, I went wandering in the cemetery for a few hours, while it was raining. It was nice, and I kind of narrated and chattered to myself while I went. I also called my Fiancé and told him about cool things I found. Well, after we hung up, I saw sort of a shadow of a small figure around a corner. I went to look, and there she was — the ghost of a little girl. Based on where she was, I figured out that her name was Mary, and she'd died when she was 4 years old. We talked a bit, though she had limited speaking ability, and I told her all about the world and how it is nowadays. She seemed fascinated. Eventually, I heard another voice, and she told me her mom was calling her, so she had to go. Then she went back to her tomb and seeped through the front to get back in. All in all it was a pleasant experience, would definitely go again.

My picture picture frame defied physics: sign from of my great-gran’s passing?
My house in Bunbury, Western Australia
15/9/2024
I was studying for a human biology test with my mum. We were making flashcards on the circulatory system, and behind us we have this big wooden buffet with a bunch of shelves. We keep things like picture frames or sculptures we made in art glass on there, and there was this frosted glass picture frame shaped like a heart that my great-gran (who lives in Queensland) gave to my mum as a gift. It was at the back behind these porcelain salt and pepper shakers that were shaped like two dogs, one black and white and one orange. Now, the picture frame was leaning backwards on the stand and was positioned at the back of the shelf. Randomly, me and my mum heard this crash and the picture frame had somehow defied physics and had knocked the orange pepper shaker dog, which was about 15cm away from the shelf’s edge, over the edge of the buffet and it fell about two metres down onto the ground, and miraculously only chipped and ear (and very slightly, too). I was weirded out about this, and my mum got really worried because as the frame was a gift to her from my great-gran, and my great-gran had just got hip-surgery done and was recovering in hospital. So obviously we were really worried that something bad might have happened to her, but we still haven’t figured out (my mum being a year 11-12 science teacher with her science-y knowledge as well) how the frame managed to defy gravity and physics and tip over. We reached a conclusion that the only way we could do that was to physically push it over, but obviously that didn’t happen… so yeah, I don’t know. Pretty weird.

Dream one: I was in my local synagogue on the stage. I picked up a prayer book and turned to page 466. It said “You, the Angel, pass over me. You look at me with your one good eye. You sit beside me, Angel, and I wait for you out in the cold.” WHAT??? Look for that quote on page 466 of any book.
2. I had a vision of my past life. A guy in a trench coat always followed me. He was also the last person I saw before my death. I already uncovered Trench Coat Guy as my French teacher, but he could be working for The Gates of Hell (underground secret cult.) Also! The Devil’s name is Jacob and he drives a white convertible!!

when i was 8 i had extremely bad insomnia from a mix of adhd and my extreme fear of the dark at the time. one night i was staying up and my house was fully quiet, everyone was asleep. if anyone was awake or walking around, i wouldve heard.
then i heard music. we had a basic jack in the box toy, it wasnt old or anything. you have to wind it up with the plastic crank on the side and it plays pop goes the weasel like any other jack in the box would. but i was hearing it in the middle of the night, from the lounge room. there was no way anyone was awake, and even if they were why would anyone in my house even my youngest siblings play with a jack in the box in a pitch black living room. it sounds so horror tropey, i know. I instantly hid under the covers for a long while. nothing like thats happened again. maybe the ghost or whatever it was saw how terrible my family life is and ran away lol

The Giant Parrot
At a house that I have never seen
9/12/24
It was in a large house that I don't know, but it had some of the attributes of my late grandmother's house. I had three cats, one black cat, one tuxedo cat, and I can't remember the other one. The black cat led me to a kitchen with a large litter box in the middle of the room. The room also had a woman with a very large parrot on her shoulder, as big as a five year old child. She walked close to me and the parrot leaned towards my face and licked my cheek. The weird thing is I've had a similar dream before with the same kitchen room but a different large bird. I can still remember the feeling of the bird licking me.

Strange Phone Call
upstate ny
2015
i don't remember the details *too* clearly, but it was strange enough that it's stuck with me for almost 10 years. My grandfather had passed in 2014, a year or so before this happened. My mom had told me to call my grandma, probably just to talk since she had become lonely after his death, and at that age I hadn't really gotten comfortable speaking on the phone. When the call was picked up, I heard my dead grandfather's voice say "Hello?" multiple times, as if he was trying to see if anyone was on the other end. Like I said, I wasn't comfortable w phone calls, and w out knowing what to say, I hung up. I told my mom what happened, and she called my grandma's number back, and she picked up like normal. There weren't any workers at her house that could've picked up for her that I mistook a man's voice for, and although her voicemail was still recorded by him, the answer was clearly a question, and not the prerecorded message. I still have so much guilt over it, because as a kid I got scared and hung up when I could've let my mom speak to her dad one last time (since he was answering to her phone number and probably thought it was her), and also it would just be so cool to say I've spoken to a ghost. this is the only truly paranormal experience i've had, and really don't know what else it could be.

I was transporting friend in a elevator at school in a specific elevator and clicked the button which had a one with a stat next to it-- I assumed it was the correct one because buttons with stars usually have a star on it. We got there and there was a feeling of dread as soon as the door opened, you could almost feel it heavy on you. We walked and the light from the ceiling almost felt like it 'wasn't the light that was lighting it up' and we turned the corner and saw a door with wire and a thing blocking the window in it. There was also tons of signs on it. I still have nightmare about it to this day. It was just so weird.

Rayville Courthouse Ghosts
Rayville Courthouse
Intermittently throughout the past year
My dad works here and answers 911 calls. His and his coworkers offices are in the basement, and they talk about their experiences down there all the time. Pantries slamming shut, knocking, whispering voices, belongings vanishing, and an overall funny feeling throughout the place. I don't have anything to prove this as it's just hearsay, but my dad even said that a mirror down the hall from his office moved on it's own while he watched. According to him, the site where the courthouse building is used to be a hanging tree. On top of that, there's a (albeit fairly small) prison somewhere in the courthouse where people have likely passed away in the past.

Weird non-existent doppleganger lady??
Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport
August 24(ish), 2024
A month ago me and my family were going to Disney Orlando, and when we were on the last plane to winnipeg there were 2 girls that looked identicle to each other sitting next to each other. They didn't interact with each other, not saying a word. In fact, the girl on the left wasn't even acknowledging the girl beside her. The girl on the right didn't have any baggage, carry-on, or anything with her. When the flight attendant came to give us pretzels she didn't even look at the girl on the right, not offering her the snack. When we landed I went to the washroom, and I saw the girl that was sitting on the left. (I knew it was her because her backpack on the plane was pink and she had a pink backpack on) I asked her about the girl that was sitting beside her, and she said that nobody was sitting beside her. It was an empty seat. So I was confused, saying to her that I saw somebody that looked identical to her, and she just stared at me with a confused expression. That was fun :D

Ghost lady(?) under a bridge and possible nuisance poltergeist in a hotel
A hotel and bridge in Galveston
3/10/2021
I was driving up the bridge with my dog in the back when she just started whining, thought she might have to pee but when I pulled over near some grassy area I saw this lady in a wet sundress under a part of the bridge, she looked no older than Idk 27, she had shoulder length brown hair and narrow shoulders that looked almost like paper and she just vanished after a few awkward moments of her just staring at me. She literally vanished. I had something similar happen in a hotel near the same location where I heard someone enter the room while I was watching tv. No one was there, but the door was unlocked and was squeaking on the hinges. Never have I ever lost that much sleep over an *empty* hallway, freaky footsteps and a stupid door.

I’ve never been into the theory of aliens except for the transformer doll incident but one time I was driving home from a family reunion during a VERY DARK night and I was stoped in a line of cars with a cop blocking the cars. He had signaled something at us but he was backlit by his own cop car. We told him he was backlit an he yelled at us to turn around. Me and my fam in the car were confused but we turned around. We took a different route and I was looking out the window ( I was too freaked out to drive for some reason) but as I looked out the window I swear I saw a glowing white man out the window. He was of normal human size but he didn’t have a face. He looked like he was coming out of the trees. I was stressed the entire drive. I asked if anybody else had seen him but nobody had seen anything. Heck. I still shake when talking about it and while I’m typing this.

Who led me to the bones?
Forest somewhere outside of Scranton
September 1st, 2024
Hello dear reader,
I’ve had a very strange experience this weekend. I live in southern Pennsylvania, but I travelled to an area outside of Scranton to a secluded family owned mountain house. I’m a practicing pagan, and I like to decorate my altar and space with things related to the deities I work with. I was looking for bones. I wandered outside my house into the forest, looking for anything remotely bone colored in the fern groves. I was tuning into the earth’s energy, and I said aloud, “Hello, earth. I’d like to collect some bones. I don’t like killing anyone or anything, but I believe the dead should be honored. Could you show me where to find some bones?” Not a minute later, at the edge of the fern grove, acorns started to fall, but only in a distinct place. They weren’t falling earlier, nor did they fall so heavily afterward. The wind blew in the direction of where the acorns were falling, so I went there. I found a skull and leg bones, right there, where the acorns fell. I believe it is a young deer skull but I’m not entirely certain. I thanked the earth and walked away to clean the bones. An hour or so later, I decided to go out again to look for more. This time I was at the opposite side of the house, in the pine tree forest. I asked the earth again for some bones. There I found these turkey bones. If anyone has had some similar experiences, please let me know. (My discord username is @random.human92)
Thank you for reading,

Tall Man
My house and School
May of 2024 to Ongoing
I've always had borderline psychic abilities. Visions of the future, strange dreams that tended to come true. I brushed it off until I began to see something; or someone more accurately. I called him "The Tall Man." I used to get this sense of prickling and dread when he was around. I used to get this innate and unmistakable fear that he was dangerous. He was twice my size and tended to come around more when I was distressed. I also go to a ranch with my mother, and on multiple instances, I was out feeding a horse out late, and Id see him, feel the dread, and run back to the safety of our car and the presence of other human beings. I still see him sometimes and the only time I've managed to "photograph" him was when I was getting a snack and my own shadow looked like him. To this day I don't understand what he was, where he came from, why he haunted me, or even if he was real at all.

My weird old (haunted?) house.
My old house
August, 2018
Me and my family were getting ready to move out of that house because it was a bad area to live in and my dad found a better job in another state. I was curious and walked down a hallway to get to the room where my dad was packing some stuff up. I stayed there for a while and then I walked out. When I was walking down the hallway, the light in the center of the room fell directly on my head. The light wasn't old or faulty, and it fell without warning. I was so disoriented that I almost stepped on a piece of glass from the light that shattered on my head just seconds earlier. I also remember a story my mom told me a few years after we had moved out, I believe in 2022 or so. She told me that when I was about 4 years old, I had come into her room shaken up and when my mom asked me what happened, I claimed, "There's something in the walls." she asked me what I meant but I just kept repeating that. I slept in her room that night. I didn't remember that experience, but I take my mom's word for it. I can also recall just general weird dreams where a woman with a long cream colored dress, long black nails, a sunhat, and poofy black hair would stand next to me while I was sleeping. Again, this were just dreams, but I remember them happening quite frequently. She would sing me lullabies and rake my hair gently as I tried to fall asleep. Ever since I moved out, I never had those dreams again, and no weird things happened, and I certainly was never harmed by something in my new house.

Hungry for Power
The Timbers Apartments
March 13, 2024
We went to bed around 12:30a and almost immediately the power went down due to high winds. I use a fan and a CPAP to sleep, so no power means no sleep. I got up around 2a (which became 3a due to the time change) and decided to walk around the complex and enjoy the wind. So, I went outside and got to the end of my building when I started hearing crying. I looked around and down at the end of the drive (which is pretty long) and there was a figure standing stark against the pitch black from the power cut and clouds. It (she?) was wearing what sort of looked like an old school Victorian one piece nightgown. It was reflecting/giving off a pale light.
As soon as I saw it, it went from crying to sobbing and started moving toward me. I shined my phone flashlight at it, which did nothing. It didn't seem to light it up. I couldn't see any clear facial features either, no matter how hard I looked. I called out, "are you okay?" -- no response, just sobbing. I got the distinct impression that this was not a person, and it was pulling an angler fish/hungry spirit move where the sobs were meant to reel me in.
So I start quickly walking toward my apartment. I made the 40ft walk and by the time I got to my alcove it had cleared the entire drive (at least triple the distance) and was at the corner of the building I started at. I took one last look at it and shined my light one last time. It stopped making any sound, sat there for a second, and then walked out of sight around the other building.
I have no idea what it was, but it was wild.

Black Eyed Children in my backyard
Woods behind my house
August 2016
When I was around 14 I was watching tv in my house at around 8 at night with my mom when she pointed out some shadowy figures in our backyard that she could see through the window from across the room. There had been a break in like a couple months ago in our neighborhood so I'm sure she was just worried about someone casing the house. However, when I go to the window to get a closer look I see what I remember as three figures with hoods over their heads. They were traversing across our backyard from left to right, where there is woods on both sides. One looked up at me and I swear its face had completely black eyes and it didn't look like my neighbors or anyone I knew. It was almost mannequin like. I don't know how to describe it its just like nothing I've ever seen. I do not believe in ghosts and I don't think alien lifeforms have made contact with earth but I can't deny something immensely supernatural and fucked up about that experience. I just can't in my heart say what I saw was human. I told my mom that there were kids in the backyard and one of them had a really creepy face so she just made sure we locked all the doors before we went to bed. Wasn't until recently that I heard about the black-eyed children and it made my blood run cold because I'm sure that's what I saw that night.

A criança Alien-Lobo
Campão
Uma certa segunda-feira
Esse meu último relato pode até ser engraçado de ser lido. Mas me garantiram sua veracidade. Todo mundo fala nessa tal cidade sobre avistamento de lobisomens. Todo mundo que eu conheço e pergunto. Dizem ver nas florestas, nos campos e teve um até que jurou que viu um correndo pelas ruas desertas em uma madrugada. O clássico: na lua cheia, as 3 da manhã ou quando os cachorros estão loucos. Todos diziam ouvir uivos misturados com latidos e gritos. Mas o que me surpreendeu foi o relato de um amigo de meu tio, que diz ter ouvido da vó de uma antiga namorada. Sobre o tal lobisomem, que na verdade nem era homem. Era sim um alienígena, isso é o que contam. Que numa certa segunda-feira, uma espaçonave em forma de disco sobrevoou o campo, e deixou em sua grama molhada uma criança, sem cabelos, olhos esbugalhados, cabeça gigantesca, corpo fino e de cor cinza. Algumas pessoas diziam que ela, a criança, tinha algum tipo de doença ou comorbidade. Ela viveu e cresceu escondida das pessoas, mas sempre tinham histórias. A última delas é que a criança, já adolescente fugiu para o meio da floresta, para conhecer a natureza. Nesse dia os cachorros estavam loucos, e ela foi mordida por um deles. Voltou pra casa diferente, babando e rosnando sem parar, andando de quatro patas, e bem mais forte do que era; diziam as más línguas que ela tinha contraído raiva, mas bem sabem os que escondem a verdade, é que ela fora mordida por um lobisomem. Depois de um tempo ela simplesmente desapareceu e nunca mais voltou.

Shadow Person House
Shadow Person House
08/1997
My family lived here for only 6 months. I opened the door 1 night to go to the bathroom, as my eyes adjusted to the hallway someone was standing in the door darker than the darkness. I said a few things to it thinking it was family before I realized it wasn't moving, not even breathing. I saw only darkness that sucked the light from the area it took up shaped like a person, no hat. I closed the door told my sister I wasn't going now and asked if she saw it too she said yes.
Weeks later heard mom tell aunt someone had been murdered there according to the neighbors. She had the house blessed, I didn't know about that until after we moved. We had extra living room setup in the garage. When I would be in there alone the washer and dryer would come on by themselves. Mom confirms this, she had to repair it multiple times because of this.
After the blessing my dad started having nightmares arguing with a lady that she couldn't come into the house, he didn't know the house had been blessed. One day I heard knocking on the door and answered it, no one was there, the dreams stopped. I found out about the dreams after we moved.
I also began sleepwalking in this house.
Finally got the nerve to go back over 20 years later and it was boarded up and the doors padlocked at the time.

Unknown lake monster
Lake Corpus Christi
07/2002
It was a year or two after high school, my family frequently rented cabins for weekends and weeks during the summer on Lake Corpus Christi. My dad owned a 22-foot Blue Wave saltwater fishing boat, but he had decked it out to also pull ski's etc behind on the lake. A few times that summer we'd be on the lake and wake would suddenly start out of nowhere like a boat was passing us but we'd see nothing. Then the last time I went with them, as the wake was starting i noticed something just under the surface. I couldn't tell exactly what it was, but it was bigger than anything I had ever seen. I grew up on the beach and water, had firsthand encounters with everything from porpoise to 16–20-foot Hammerhead sharks in the saltwater, 4-6-foot alligator gar, and 6-foot plus American Alligator in fresh-water and the Everglades. This looked like a giant snake the way it moved under the water; it reminded me of an anaconda.

Weird car
I75N
08/2024
Older tan SUV driving weird in front of us on the highway. I told my partner to be careful and get in a different lane…. The car was kind of driving like someone was asleep at the wheel, randomly slowing or kind of veering off, and it just made me nervous
When we passed I saw all of the side windows were covered up with pop up sun shades, the silver kind.
“Ah so they just don’t want to be seen…”
As we passed I looked back and saw that the car was completely covered in silvery reflectors, the front windshield was just a block of silver. I couldn’t see how someone could be driving this car???
without maybe driving it by watching a camera?
Not paranormal but just baffling and kind of creepy.

The Bridge
Belerno
20/07/24
I was going for a nature walk around a small trail near my house alone in the late afternoon. I had been on this trail many times, and it is a short walk in a small woods that is cut off by a small stream. I even lived right next to the woods as a child, and played there as a toddler. Anyway, I was walking the usual rout but noticed a small, well walked path that I had never seen before. I decided to follow it, out of curiosity, and found that it lead me through a thicker part of the woods, and seemed to go on for hours, with the occasional twist or turn. After a few hours of debating whether I should turn back, I came to a halt in front of what seemed to be a bridge, in the middle of a forest with no water running under it. That in itself is not very unusual, but what was was the graffiti on the bridge- child's drawings of tall and thin creatures with huge black eyes and colorful bodies. They covered the bridge, outside and inside, and I suddenly felt intensly uncomfortable and like someone was watching me. I turned around, and ran back the way I had come, and almost immediately ran into a teenage girl, looking harrowing but smiling. She asked me why I was there, and I told her I was going for a walk, but she kept pushing for specifics of how I found the place. I politely ended the conversation and walked away as fast as I could, and after a few hours got home, but I couldn't shake the feeling of unease for days afterwards.

Faeries?
Posticciola, Rieti
Probably June 2015
I grew up in a large house in what seemed like the middle of nowhere to me when I was younger. To pass the time, me and my brother would make up stories, imagining all sorts of wondrous creatures that lived in the woods around us. One of our favourites was faeries. We spent weeks making a faerie garden under a large tree by the house, and spent ages there, leaving offerings of sweets and glass crystals occasionally. One night, we were outside with our parents, and no matter what they say, I know I wasn’t asleep. I remember my dreams well, but have always been able to distinguish them from reality. We were by the faerie garden, and while I don’t remember exactly what day it was, I know it was warm, it was dark, we were looking for fireflies. Probably June. I remember seeing wonderfully colourful lights floating all around us, all warm shades of orange and red and pink and yellow, with some in hues of purple and blue. They were large, but not so large that I didn’t think they were fireflies at first. I was young, and that was the only thing I thought they could be. I don’t know what happened after that, but soon enough I was in bed, thinking of those lights. I have brought up that night to my parents many times over the years, even to my brother, but they always say that they remember no such thing happening, and my brother denies ever truly wanting to make the faerie garden with me, despite how enthusiastic he used to be. Now, the garden sits abandoned and forgotten. It hurts to see it like that to some extent, but it doesn’t feel the same as it used to and I don’t think I could bring myself to enter it. Not anymore.

Moved Dryer
Plainfield, Vermont
July 10, 2023
Our kid's body was found on June 10, 2023. A month to the day after this discovery, we had major flooding in central Vermont. Our small rural town got hit hard. After the power went out, we walked around the village to witness the devastation and check on folks. When we came home, we found that our dryer had been turned 45 degrees and moved roughly a foot away from the wall. A year to the day later, we had flooding that was even more destructive. Our kid's death was violent and is still under investigation. It seems as if they aren't letting this town forget.

Transformer toys

?/?/2016
So when I was young ( like 5 or something) I had a bunch of transformer toys (I know, not very girly) I grew out of them when I became 9 but I swear they would move around my room. I even got a new shockwave and I think he’s moved a few times too.

The quarry
The woods behind my home
Summer of 2021, august
My home has a lot of property attached to it, and the vast majority of it is woods. Naturally, I go exploring in the woods a lot, since I don’t have much else to do in the summer. In the woods, I came across a big diving in the land, and based off what I’ve seen, I can only assume it was once an old quarry, since I find a lot of coal around there. The feeling there is weird, all the birds are quiet and the wind goes still whenever I’m there, and it’s just generally unsettling. Plus, there are little outcrops of rock along the “walls” of the quarry, and there are bunches of bones there. When I say bunches, I mean it. There are easily at least 15 dead animal skeletons there. None of them seem to be organized, they seem to just be scattered around.
In one of the little caves below an outcrop, there is a single skull of a coyote, some wind chimes hanging inside the little crevasse, and a chalice. It wasn’t filled with anything, and the lip was chipped. It was supper weird, and I just felt creeped out in general. I generally avoid that quarry if I don’t have to be there. But, whenever something dies on our property, say a deer from roadkill, or a bird that hit the glass of a window too hard, I always bring the body there. It just feels right somehow, like if something is to be left to rot it should be in that quarry.

Sarah
200 Penn Addamsburg Rd, Jeanette PA 15644
Every day
I live in a very old house, it was built in the 1800’s as a farm house, and has many additions to it that came over the years. There is absolutely nothing standard about the house, a all the windows are strange sizes and the steps are by no means even. The floors creek, as do the doors (This is important, I swear.)
The door to my bedroom always opens, then slams shut around 3:30 pm, every day for as long as I’ve lived in the house. For a while, I though it was a draft coming through the windows, but it clearly isn’t, because it happens in winter too, when all the windows are shut. The light source in my room is a touch lamp, and it turns on and off by itself all the time, which has honestly started to get annoying. Eventually, I just started saying “Stop that.” Or “Cut that out.” Any time something like that would happen, and it would stop.
The home has had many previous owners, and nothing bad has ever happened there as far as I have researched. The back yard is on a slope that leads down to a creek, and on the hill there are 3 graves. They are very old, and most of the letters have been washed away by many years of weathering. One of the names is readable, and it is “Sarah.” Unfortunately, the last name was too eroded to read, so I couldn’t find an obituary. All I know is that one of them was named Sarah, and they were all previous owners of the house. None of the presences in the home ever feel malicious, and none of their actions have ever been anything more than inconvenient at most.

Orange orb and flashing green light
Navarre
8/18/24
Pensacola Florida 8/18/24 11:10PM. An hour ago. Someone posted this site in a reddit thread I found when looking for answers.
It started as a bright orb hovering over the ocean. It was a deep orange light like an old tungsten bulb (most accurate to the color). So still I thought it was a star, but it was in front of the clouds. I asked my husband if it was a satellite because it was too far up to be a plane or drone. It hung there for five minutes or so. Suddenly it started moving to the right in the sky, to the south, then rapidly got closer…as it got closer (flying southeast, in my right field of vision) it appeared to be a cloaked aircraft with a blinking green light on the left side. No discernible edges to the craft.The bright orb light was gone and in its place was this weird flashing object. No clue what the shape was, again, no outline. Just a green light on one side and I think the other light was red (only the green was flashing). It was totally silent. I watched it approach the high rise to my right in awe, my husband didnt look up from his nintendo switch lol. I was stunned silent. I watched it fly silently until I lost sight of it over the high rise to my right. Would have thought it was a drone if not for the first half of this story, where it started as a bright, completely stationary orange orb.
