I lived in this house for a little over a year in 2001. In that time I saw what I can only describe as white mist with a face floating above my sister as we slept. My mum and step dad also had knocking on their door every night. We knew previous people who lived there before us and they had experienced paranormal activity such as doors and window slamming and seeing figures outside. One of the scariest places I've ever been let alone lived in.

I began to see vision at first, then entities started to manifest themselves. I was pulled attacked spooked multiple times for years until it finally stopped.

I used to live in a small apartment in NW Portland (~100 years old). When I moved in, I noticed small things going missing, but nothing that worried me. One night I woke up and I couldn't move, and felt terror in my chest like it had never felt before. There was a face in front of me that was not quite human but was not something that wasn't human. It said "You're not dreaming" and then everything went black. I woke up with scratches all over my body. It never happened again. I lived on the third (top) floor of my building and lived alone. No signs of a break-in, and I knew that it was not a real person in my apartment - at least not a living one.

I went out at night with a couple friends looking for ghost and visiting Elizabeth's grave for a box session to find something of interest. When we arrived a stray black cat walked up to the car before getting out I gave it some of my jerky and water but it wouldn't let me pet it. When we got out to walk around the cat followed closely and always stayed near the woodline meowing if we got to close and in sinc when the ghost box said we was being watched the cat circles us then walked us straight to Elizabeth's grave and sat atop the grave. Later in the night we walked the edge of the trees asking what's watching with everytime we asked a stench of Sulfur and rotten flesh kept getting stronger. We eventually reached the far side of the cemetery my hair on the back of my neck stood on end and i growled not even realizing it cause it felt and sounded like something was running at me. Around 20 to 40 seconds later my friend just tranced and started walking towards the woods I had to stand in front of them and use all my force to stop them as well as their partner we left right after. To this day I believe the black cat was a familiar to Elizabeth.... I have yet to go back I recommend anyone going out there to feed and give water to the stray cat that approaches you no matter their coat as I believe that cat saved me and my friends from being a closed case that night.

A bright light at very high altitude appeared and slowly moved West to East. The object stopped. It began to change colors and increase in luminosity. It then seemingly descened or headed south verifying it was not a satellite. It then started heading West at a high rate of speed, it changed colors multiple times whilst increasing in luminousity and then disappeared.

While in 8th grade I had to go from one side of the hallway to the other side going from science to Civics class. 2nd period already ended, I gathered my things and swapped out textbooks in my locker. Heading towards 2rd period civics nothing strange happened however when I got there it was 4th period. 45 minutes vanished that I have no recollection of.

A friend and I had just gotten done going ice skating one night in Gilbert, AZ. It was roughly 10:30p - 11p when we decided to leave the rink & go grab some food. We got our food and she was bringing me home. In 2011, McQueen and Queen Creek rd was pretty bare(still kinda is minus the new circle k built.) There wasn't anything but farm land. So as we are waiting on the light, only truck on the road, we notice behind us in the rear view mirror a LARGE beam of light. We stopped the music, dropped the food in our hands and looked at each other. "What is that!?" my friend asked. I just kinda sat there and looked in the passenger side mirror as it continued shining on the road. And then it just went right over her truck, stopped for a few seconds and continued on until it just disappeared up the road in front of us. We missed the green light and everything because we were so intrigued. Absolutely nutty and I wish I had had a cellphone in that moment to capture what we saw!!

My best friend and I used to burn our school papers we didn't need, in a kind of healing/cleansing process. The house is on a long pond, called the Mill Pond. Across the pond is a pine tree forest. To the extreme left of where we were burning, is a train bridge, high high up. One night we were finished and sitting in chairs, watching the fire. All of a sudden, we both caught lights out of the corner of our eyes. Hovering over the Mill Pond was a classic ufo. Disc shaped, with lights that changed, kind of like that game Simon. But huge and in the sky. It was silent. We both got to our feet, and I remember feeling like I couldn't move from there. The ufo hovered over the pond, before going up high above the train bridge, where it hovered for some time. Then it disappeared into the forest across the pond. We put out the fire and ran into the house!

I remember going up there when I was in HS and hearing a lot of people talking about a witch who used to live there. People I knew in the area I grew up (about 10 miles from this place) also said they had seen things themselves, as well as hearing about weird things happening in the surrounding areas from the older generation of people, going as far back as the 1940s. I personally never heard or saw anything, but I do remember hiking up there a few times and having the feeling of being watched in the trails.

I was a tour guide at the Dunkirk Lighthouse for 6-7 years, I have experienced a lot of ghost encounters and heard a lot of stories as well. Someone has had their spine grabbed, the ghosts love playing with some bouncy balls that we will roll for them and then we'll ask questions, typically yes of no questions. Someone has been locked in the lighthouse tower before, if you go here and ask to see the ghost photos they have 2 photos with at least one ghost visible in each photo. They do ghost tours in the fall season. There have been weddings hosted on the property and fake flower petals can still be found from the wedding and are sometimes moved into places even the tour guides cannot access.

I live near the Ohio river. When my husband and I got married, we had our 18 year old daughter and 19 year old niece watch the dogs and the house while we took a honeymoon weekend. I warned the girls to shut the windows and doors up as soon as it starts getting dark but I didn't specify why. Come about 930pm the girls called and sounded a bit scared. I assured them that the shadows in the tree were not bad, they just agitate the dogs. My husband, a skeptic, will only go out back to smoke at night because it is fenced in and he doesn't hear "hey!" Or his name being called.

I've moved around a lot when I was in the military but Ohio is THE most haunted area I've lived in. I have family there so it made sense to settle there after the military. I've lived in 2 houses and both were haunted or became haunted shortly after living there. The first house nothing too crazy just my laundry room door would slam shut and it had to have opened because it would do it several times at or after midnight. I always kept that spooky room door shut before I went to bed. My friends asked me to record it but I figured if I saw it w my own eyes I wouldn't be able to sleep there. While I was folding clothes late at night in my bedroom I saw a man walk passed my bedroom towards my daughters, immediate thought someone broke in and it was shortly after I moved in so the only weapon I had was a candlestick. I cautiously walked toward and in her room, Nothing. While living in this house I experienced my first (few) sleep paralysis which was scary on its own. I eventually moved from this house into another (that address is what's posted here and that's where I experienced the most things with witnesses). ...I loved this house, my daughter is older and my mom lived here as well. The first signs of something being off it the tapping on windows, like someone who had nails but no one was there. My moms room and the living room tapping. My daughter adopted a dog and he ran off so when I got off work(midnight) I drove around calling his name, I finally gave up and pulled in the driveway waiting for the garage door to open, I swear I saw a back blob stretch up to see me in the drivers window, it happened so fast I just thought I was sleepy. Then I happened again in the passengers window. I didn't know what to make up it and just figured I was seeing things so I came in and went to bed. Eventually I would start seeing it in the house. Pop down thru the ceiling again soo fast but I would catch it every time. At night when I was in bed w the lights off I could tell it was in the room bc this had energy coming off of it, I could feel it's vibration and could tell where it was in the room. To be continued....

I experienced a misty figure looking at me then proceeding to walk up the stairs out of the kitchen, then outside. Other experiences from others included women and children laughing at early morning hours, unexplained sounds, (footsteps, banging, etc. ) and moving objects.

Wise County in general is known to be a pretty eerie place to some of the locals already but not much has been reported on the matter. I had heard stories from my grandmother and how she use to go out and explore places at night just to check things out. She's a big believer in all things paranormal and spooky. She told me about her experience at Wizard Wells Cemetery and how haunted it was, so I decided to take a friend with me to check it out. We didn't see any ghosts or orbs like my grandmother had told me about, but we did hear in the distance what sounded like howls and yelps, but it didn't sound anything like a coyote we have locally around here. It almost sounded a strange mix between a human and animal. However, my friend and I were the only people there. The cemetery itself is practically in the middle of nowhere in the woods. I knew right away that we shouldn't be there.... Putting my car out of park I drove as far away from that place as possible. Needless to say, I'm never going there at night again.

I can not stress this enough on how sober i was when this took place. i was a heavy drinker at the time so this is important for me to share. I was working on a ranch pretty high up river from Riggins when this took place. we relied on a genorater on a property so lights were out by 10 that night. the property was huge, the only accsess to the property was by boat or by mule if you were up for it. i knew of two deaths on the property at the time, described to me as beautiful people who loved the property with all their heats. My manager, his two sisters, his son, and I were hanging outside admiring the stars after a party around midnight. The dad sent his son to go grab some snacks for us, the kid took the sober sister with him just for fun. i watched them walk down the hill into the building. the sister stayed outside as the kid went in. i saw his hand go up before he vanished into the dark building. then i saw the sister pokeing her head threw the door and walking around to the side door. seconds later the son comes out threw the front door just as confused. they came back up, food in a container with painters tape on it that read my name. How my name is spelled, isnt the easiest thing to spell. the son told me that when he walked in he saw someone sitting in our other managers chair. he said hello, walked to the kitchen got the food and wanted to put my name on it to show off he could spell it. he said he was having a hard time and someone spelled my name out to him. cutting to the sister, she said she saw a shadow walk past the door cutting to the side door. cutting to the aliens on the same night less then half an hour apart, were hanging out on a small cliff side, watching the milkyway. then all of the sudden we see sadilites moving a little too fast and all over the place. we watch three or four of em bobbing and weeving stars. looked liked they were playing tag mixed with hide and seek. that lasted for about five but felt more like an hour. with them still wizzing around we see one make a sharp turn and stop right above us. and again i was stone cold sober!! a BIG WHITE LIGHT shown down on up for about three to five seconds. it felt more like someone was just taking a picture of us with the falash on then anything. its been a couple of years since that happend so i dont fully remember going back to my cabin, Other than people looking at me crazy when i talked about it to my other coworkers. i just hope the goofy photo them aliens took of us that nigh, still hangs up on their wall or what ever and that their night was just as cool as ours.

I went camping at the Red River gorge. A nice camping spot out in the mountains and away from the city. Me and my uncle were up real late. Around midnight where we were talking and looking up at the stars. One began to move quickly in an upward and left motion. It then stopped and went the opposite way before disappearing into the night sky.

I was living about fifteen/sixteen years old walking my dog late at about ten/ten thirty at night. I went to close the gate to our yard when I looked up and saw three lights in a triangular formation. The aircraft was about 800 feet in the air and made absolutely no sound while going at a snails pace. I lived underneath both a commercial and military airpath, while also living within fifteen minutes of an airport, and have never and still have never seen an aircraft capable of absolute silence or moving as slow as the light formation was going. The craft was so dark that you couldn't even see the outline of the shape of the craft. It absolutely terrified me, but even more so when a sheriff vehicle went down my street with their lights flashing seemingly following the craft, with another black SUV right behind the Sheriff vehicle. I ended up running back inside while carrying my dog because I convinced myself that those where clearly the men in black following the UFO. The next day I ended up bringing my Dad outside, who works on aircraft for a living, and showed him the approximate location of where I had seen the craft which is how I know how low and close it was.

I have so many weird experiences surrounding Land Between the Lakes/Murray area. I went to college there. Friends and I would drive out looking for ghosts or whatever we could get into. This incident involved five people—three in a car in front and two in the truck behind. I was in the truck passenger seat. It was late—after 10pm or so. We were driving around this area, looked up and saw three large creatures flying overhead. Wingspans looked about 6-8ft, but always hard to tell with objects in the sky at night. Weird thing, they looked like bat wings, not bird wings. Texted the car up front to see if they saw them. Got a panicked phone call from the person in the backseat asking what they were and how all of them saw the creatures. It was wild. We all saw a lot of things in those woods. Unexplained flashes of light in both day and night. Weird animal behavior (owls attacking drivers and huge herds of deer grazing on the pavement during a lunar eclipse; coyotes hanging up on campers in tents; unexplained noises from out in the woods that sometimes sounded like someone screaming and sometimes sounded like someone laughing, etc.) This was before smartphones, so there aren't photos, but we did take a recording once. It was weird because we thought out friend was possessed, but then she came out of it. That alone was strange but can be explained away. What couldn't be explained away was a weird gravely noise on the tape that started when the friend started shrieking at the top of her lungs, then laughing maniacally, but stopped as soon as she stopped. I've lived a lot of places and seen a lot of things, but that area of Kentucky is.... It's just strange. Add in the Hopkinsville Goblins an hour away, the Vampire clans of Murray, and the unexplained cryptids of Bigfoot and Mothman type entities and the flooding of the homes to build the waterways... let's just say, Appalachia's monsters may have dispersed into the foothills and taken up residence, proliferating in a protected haven.

Getting ready for 9 am lecture at hunter college. As I was putting on my clothe I was looking out towards Central Park and the west side when I saw a tiny white dot zoom quickly into my sight directly over park, then do very quick zooms and just disappear. I could not believe what I saw and in broad day light. I started sitting at the bench on 90th street outside of Central Park waiting and hoping to see anything else, but I never did.

Spiritual encounters numerous times, sleep paralysis with shadow people, strange noises like tapping, running footsteps, doors opening and shutting unannounced, tv's turning on

I was in high school when this all was happening. I was the only one out of my family of 6 to experience anything, as far as I know, and I've asked. I was also the only one that had a bedroom in the basement. There were little things like scratching in the walls. I would tell my parents there must be bugs or rats or something because it would sound like scurrying, scratchy sounds. They got the walls checked at least twice and were told there was absolutely nothing in the walls as far as pests were concerned. I would always get a weird feeling on the staircase going down to the basement; it felt like someone was standing close enough to me at the top of the stairs that I would feel forced down, almost like being pushed by intimidation. I always thought someone was calling my name from upstairs but no one would admit to doing so. Those are the little things... there were two major incidents that happened to me in that house. One I cannot explain at all. 1. One night I came home when it was dark and everyone had already gone to bed, but it wasn't too late yet - maybe 10:30 or 11. I put something in the microwave for one minute so I know this whole thing happened within 60 seconds. I suddenly heard and *felt* a whisper right behind and on my right ear. It clearly said "Sam" ... that's my mother's name. We look just alike and our birthdays are 5 days apart and I go by Syd a lot of the time, so I can understand the confusion (: I immediately turned around and from across the kitchen, dining room, and living room, I saw my grandfather, who had passed when I was about 8 years old, sitting in the recliner chair in the darkest corner of the living room. The only light on at the time was the light on the microwave, over top the stove, but I very clearly saw him. He looked solid, as if he was still alive and just sitting in the living room. He just sat and smiled at me. I just stood and stared at him. Then, the microwave timer went off, which broke my concentration away, and when I looked back, he was gone, but the chair...was rocking. 2. It was the middle of the afternoon and I was taking a shower. Everyone was home at the time, so the house was pretty lively. The year was 2008 or so, and I was using an iPod on a home speaker to listen to music while I showered. This was before the time of streaming, so whatever music you had on your device was music you personally downloaded to it. There was no sucking songs out do thin air or any radio interference. As soon as I got done rinsing the shampoo from my hair, my music went to static. That's weird... it shouldn't do that... and as soon as I had that thought, a pane of energy appeared in front of me, in the bathtub. I'll try to explain this the best I can. It looked like a window or pane of glass, that was made out of the heat waves you see coming off of really hot asphalt. It was about five feet tall, three feet wide, and maybe an inch thick. It looked solid and liquid at the same time. Then, it started moving towards me. I was frozen in place. It passed through me and I felt it was every sense I possess. It was like walking through a pane of glass that I felt on the outside and the inside From the tip of my nose, and through, out the back of me. My whole body was "scanned" in a way. When it passed my ears, I heard the distortion of energy, like train passing by really close at top speed, but silently...a dull, muffled, very strong "whomp-whomp" as it passed by my ear drums. When I felt it come out the back of my head, it passed through the shower. That's when I felt the water do a sort of dance on my back, like something had momentarily blocked the stream with a screen. When the energy passed through the wall, my music, which had been static the whole time this took place, came back on right where it had left off - so it had not just been playing through, it had stopped and then started again. I have no explanation as to what or why or how this was... I don't know who to turn to or who to ask. My family thought, and still kind of thinks I'm crazy because of this stuff...
