30 Times People Had Unexplainable Spine-Chilling Experiences, Shared In This Online Group
Despite so many stories of people seeing ghosts, encountering Bigfoot or seeing the Loch Ness Monster, many don’t believe in them as they are so mysterious and intangible. Also, because scientists can’t show any credible proof they exist, people tend to believe that those creatures are the fruit of some crazy person’s imagination.
However, there are still a lot of people who do believe in the paranormal and they claim to actually have experienced it. Those stories often are creepy and the fact that they can’t be explained is really scary.
Nonetheless, they are interesting to read and speculate about, so here is a list to feed the hunger for these kinds of stories. People started sharing them when Reddit user Endemicbacon asked “People who've experienced the paranormal or seen cryptids and other unknown creatures, what's your story?” and they get truly chilling.

It happened a few months ago. My 1 year old cat Salem, passed suddenly and I was so sad that I couldn't save his life. On that day I called my workplace and told them my grandpa passed away (he passed 20y ago) so I could cry at home I cried days because of him. One day I went to work and there was a guy who is doing witchcraft and he can see the energy / aura, etc. So I passed him with my ppt (powered pallet truck) and he looked at me and said 'Oh my god, who passed away my darling? ' I told him my grandpa as I didn't want to blow my cover. And the guy said 'Are you sure it was your grandpa? Because a black cat is sitting on your truck and meowing very loud..' I was in shock. I didn't tell no one that I had a cat, didn't post anything on Facebook. Then he described me how that cat looks like with a white spot on the chest. He described my cat. My black cat.

When my cat died it nearly killed me. He was my fourth child, just in animal form. I couldn’t concentrate at work and had to leave . They knew why . I even unleashed on the vet cause she couldnt save him...not fair to her I know but I was grieving. Anyone who doesn’t own a pet and love it like one of their children will never understand the grief when that pet passes. This was 10 years ago and I still refuse to get another pet.

I believe any living thing we ever held close is still close to us... whether we know it or not... they will never be far. Your poor little buddy, I am sorry. I spoke to a psychic a while back and my cat, Fluffy, whom I had for only 2 years when I was 11 spends every day with me. She explained him to a T.

i feel sad that you had to use a cover story to take time off. the day i had to put my doberman down was also a day i had a dr's appt. my dr knew me well and asked what was wrong so i told him. he told me to take a couple of days off and wrote me a note just in case my supervisor gave me problems. i called up, told them what had happened and that i was staying home for a couple of day. when i came back into the office i discovered that my supervisor, who was kind of a b*tch, had signed me out for bereavement leave. turns out that she may have been a pain to work for but was just as devoted to her dogs as i was.

I wish we could normalize grieving our pets. They aren't "just" anything.. they are fully our family members and sometimes we are more bonded to them than some people.

My dad used to work at a haunted house and wanted to add a ghost story to the website to get more people to come. He hired a medium to look around the place to see if she sensed anything. My dad didn’t really believe in the stuff though. Half way through the tour she asks if my father was missing a hammer. He said he was missing a lot of his tools. The medium said an old women passed in the floor above and had the hammer. My dad asked the spirit to give it back and the next day it was laying on the table. After that he left flowers for the spirit and it never took anything again

Went on fishing weekend with best bud in college. Stayed at his grandpas house in middle of bum f**k nowhere. We where sleeping in the sun room as it was a gorgeous night, and I was asking my friend bout the noises. Deer, foxes, and the like. Then we hear what is best described as a scream/wail…his grandpa came out of the house said “You boys just come on sleep on the couches now”. Never offered an explanation and I didn’t question s**t. 90yr old man with a 12gauge in hand says move…you move.
Edit: to y’all saying cougar, mountain Lion, owl, y’all might be right. But when grandpa who lived on the land for 80yrs comes out in his underpants shirtless and says get in the house. Yea don’t argue or question.

Chupacabra are just coyotes with mange. That's why as soon as Hollywood came up with a name the whole southwest was like "S**t! I've seen that!"
They sure look like something paranormal. A healthy coyote doesn't act like one dying of mange, and the abnormal behavior is pretty creepy all on its own.
Most of my creepy experiences had pretty straightforward explanations. Like feeding the cat and then my cat walked in through the cat flap. There really was a second cat. He didn't look that much like mine when I was paying attention, but at first glance? Their heads and backs were close enough to make the mistake.
Another story isn't mine, but a friend's.
A tropical storm hit and she was watching the weather for updates on the tornado watch/warnings when she heard her cat scratching and crying like mad at the front door. Horrified her pet was outside in the storm, she rushed downstairs to let her in. Her mom caught her just before she got to the door and stopped her. She said "that's not our cat!" And pointed to where their cat was cowering in a corner, eyes glued to the door.
They crept around to a bedroom window to look at the front porch and discovered it was a pair of bobcats that were scratching and crying at the door. After some frantic discussion, they opened the garage door partway to give them shelter so the bobcats wouldn't damage the door any more than they already had. It took a few minutes, but the bobcats left the shelter of the porch and entered the garage and ate the cat food there.
One of the bobcats gave birth in their garage that night. As soon as the storm passed and the water receded (about a day later), the bobcats carried the kittens back to their den. Based on where we sighted the kittens after that, we think the mama cat was in labor when the storm flooded her den. We think the bobcats had watched her cat come and go and figured "any port in a storm.". Still, they were very creeped out for weeks after.

Recently just started a new job where one of my duties is to lock up this building that was once a cancer hospital. I thought I was crazy but my stories have been confirmed by my co-workers/security camera footage.
Most wild experience? Was about 10pm and massive snowstorm outside so I expected some weird noises like howling from the wind etc. I'm on the first floor which is just a labyrinth of hallways, making sure all the doors are locked, out of nowhere I heard what sounded like someone groaning, I attributed this to the wind outside. 5 minutes later, it happened again so I yelled "Police who's there!, Show yourself!" (Yes, I work for a PD). I radio for backup and confirmation the building is empty besides me, which is confirmed, backup never shows up due to the nuts snowstorm outside none of the sergeants felt like coming to help since they knew what was likely going on from watching cameras. I'm finishing the 2nd floor and I heard what sounded like someone banging their head on the door downstairs or something, it was loud. I get downstairs and the locking mechanisms on the door I heard the noise come from is unlocked. This locking mechanism is only unlocked by 2 very specific keys (they dont even look like keys), myself and my Sarge on duty are the only ones that have em. At this point I'm literally sweating and just f*****g hurry up back to the 2nd floor and lock up the fastest I have ever done so.
I get back to base and tell our dispatcher and Sgt what happened and they're just sitting there laughing acknowledging my claims. They said that building is haunted as f**k and even students have experiences there in mid-day. My dispatcher then showed me the locking mechanism being unlocked (its a huge bar of metal, very noticeable on camera) and chills just ran down my back. She then showed me running down the hallway on my way to exit and one of the doors I locked swung open behind me, I didn't hear it because my gun belt and boots were making too much noise.
So yeah. I'm not scared of being shot at but f**k ghosts, no time for those c**k suckers.

Storms are the worst for activity. I used to only have 'odd' experiences every once in a while. Then I moved across country to the gulf coast. Everytime there is a hurricane, multiple weird things happen on the day before it makes landfall. Come to find out, all of the locals believe in ghosts. You know how in most places, if someone has an unusual experience, they usually don't talk about it because they think people will think they're crazy? Not here. I've had multiple strangers (like random cashiers who I don't know, or people who I only talk to briefly) just start randomly telling me about how their houses are haunted, or how the store is haunted, and how they see stuff all the time. Storms stir up energy, I swear.

I mean... locked door? HA. Shoot them? No, that might be how they got there in the first place. I mean... geezus, you can't DO anything, no precautions... and ... if we're to look to the movies... the 'ghost exterminators' are just as damaging.

I’m convinced I’ve had something following me for years; possibly my entire life. I’ve always had weird things happening to me.
Weird experiences like as a kid (I don’t remember it but my mom told me about it) I would wake her up asking about the “person” in my doorway. Then later when my parents first started leaving me home alone I remember having to call them multiple times and have them rush home or someone come get me because I could swear I wasn’t alone in the house.
Living with my parents I would hear footsteps upstairs when no one else is home, once had my wife (while we were just dating) there and she heard it too. I would shut a door, and then later that door would be wide open
At Me and my wife’s first townhome things would fly of the shelf’s (like once a box of spaghetti noodles tucked away in the back of the pantry behind other things found it’s way to the ground without disturbing anything in front of it), pictures would fly off and away from walls but none of the others would even be rocking. Same footsteps upstairs. Weird things like my ukulele strumming itself in another room.
I have very specific and detailed stories but it’s a lot to type out, I don’t really care if anyone believes me but I know what I’ve seen and felt.

I have always wanted to believe in God, the afterlife etc but just couldn't, I needed concrete evidence. Then, shortly after my ex-husband became very abusive, suddenly there is an old woman with a baby standing in front of me. All four of my kiddos and I saw them regularly, but never my husband. After 18 years of abuse (and this woman and baby began visiting, I found the courage to leave and none of us have seen the old woman or baby since. I lost my twin at birth and my nana when I was 15, firmly believe she watched over us until we were happy and safe.

I feel you. TLDR version: lived in a *very* haunted house my senior year in college. Since I was on a student teacher schedule, I spent March break alone in the house with the pets. It always sounded like a party upstairs (my bedroom was on the first floor), but since I'd made peace with the fact it was a haunted house, whatever was upstairs left me alone to live my life that week. I have too many stories to write here, but it was an interesting last year of college.

i don't doubt your veracity in the slightest. it's entirely possible you may have either a latent sensitivity/anomalous reoccurant PK vector or attachment. it's honestly hard to say which past a WAG without a lot more data and observation. there are ways and means for both depending on how vehement a response you wish to engage. best place to start is local paranormal society. they should be able to help document and get you in touch w a spiritual professional.

After reading this, most people would probably say it's a poltergeist. Paranormal investigators would say it's more probable that it is doppelganger activity. In my opinion, it sounds like you have a true doppelganger. Do I believe you? Yes. We could swap stories about one another's experiences.
Karen Clark 3 years ago
POLTERGEIST! Etymology. The word poltergeist comes from the German language words poltern ("to make sound" and "to rumble") and Geist ("ghost" and "spirit"), and the term itself translates as "noisy ghost", "rumble-ghost" or a "loud spirit".

I posted this in another thread like this a while back
Several years ago, some friends and I were driving through one of the millions of small towns around the North/South Carolina border in the mountains. It was well after midnight. My friend looks behind us, and sees a pair of headlights coming up on us. Quickly. Like, easily 60-70 MPH when the limit is 25 or so. No signs of stopping so my friend pulls over to let the car past.
And what passes us is two lights. Just lights. Far too bright to be a firefly or any luminescent creature. As bright as headlights, if not brighter. Not attached to anything. No car, nothing. Just two lights booking it down the road.

One of my closest friends and chosen godmother to my son died in an accident just a month before my son was born. She was really excited to meet the baby and we where all in huge shock to bury a friend so young, after such a violent accident. First week in new home with the baby I woke up to a weird feeling, like there was someone in our house. Ran to check on the baby and there was this ball of light bright as hell hovering over the crib. Baby slept undisturbed and I cried on my knees in wonder, too scared to go between the light and the baby. I asked "is it you, did you come to see the baby?" And felt a warm secure feeling like the baby was safe and all was good suddenly. Ball of lightning, ghost of friend visiting or just my shocked and hormone-confused mind playing tricks on me -I still can't explain it but I know I was awake and the ball of light was really there.

When my youngest son was about 3 years old we were eating out in town and he got a bit restless.
I decided to take him for a walk and as I held a door open he got away from me and made a break for it(pedestrian area so safe)
He bolted into an adjacent site which had a ruined chapel/almshouses with info boards for tourists.
I found him staring up at the Chapel ruins.
‘What are you doing,mate?’
His reply?…..’A long time ago I got married here’
‘What!?’
‘A long time ago……’
Then a switch flicked,he was a 3 year old with energy to burn and was off running again.

People say that kids have an "overactive imagination", and they do, but common. What are the chances this kid randomly began sprinting to a church and make these claims for "fun"? I don't know much, but I do know children have different abilities than us
Katy McMouse 3 years ago
I think "overactive imagination" in kids, especially the kids who are very vocal about their imaginary friends, is really not just imagination. I think there's "play acting imagination ", like play acting stories that we all did and there's "my new best friend is the grandma I've never met but I somehow know stuff I shouldn't know imagination". It's a shame that most of us lose this ability as we grow older.

My dad owned rental houses. Back in the 90s, my girlfriend and I’d go in after a renter left and rehab the house. One particular house, he’d purchased years ago with the renter already in the house. When they passed away, we went in and started in the bedrooms, first painting then cutting out the carpets. We noticed we kept losing our carpet cutters but thought we’d accidentally rolled them up in the carpets. So we got fluorescent orange cutters. Nope still can’t find them. Then we pull the living room carpet. Several large stains that look exactly like dried blood are soaked into the cork underfloor. OK, might be stain, or someone butchered a chicken in the living room-No telling. But as I’m painting a living room wall, I see a human shaped shadow coast across the wall. I think someone is walking around the house, maybe a meter reader. I run outside and no one is there, up or down the street. I run around the house. NO ONE is there. We finish in a big hurry and get paid. My dad calls later and asks what we used to clean with because the house is full of flies. I go back wash every flat surface with bleach and water. Next day- full of flies. It’s a house built on a concrete slab, so no crawl space. He decides they must be getting in through a crack in the slab and fills the cracks with silica. Nope still flies. I vacuumed up hundreds of dead flies. He had lived through the depression and fought in WWII. He raised 10 kids and lived to tell. But he sold that cursed house in a second. He didn’t believe in that s**t but he wasn’t a fool.

They're called Attic Flies, and they're not paranormal. They lay their eggs in the ground in the warmer months. The larva hatch and prey on earthworms, and in the cooler months they begin to work their way uphill, and will emerge at the warmest spot they find. Hilltop houses are particularly susceptible, as they come up through the walls. There can be literally thousands of new flies every day. Fortunately, they don't care about human food or smells, and though they may be annoying, they try to stay away from the occupants, unlike summer flies. They're just looking for warmth. Trapped in a house, they die after about a day, leaving piles of bodies everywhere.

One day my wife came home, we were living in an apartment in midtown. It’s about 10:00 pm and I was taking the trash to the dumpster in the alley behind my complex. The complex had only 6 two story apartments, the front door of each facing south. We lived in #5, and if you were to walk outside, once you open the door there’s a little raised landing where you’d put a welcome mat, step off the landing, you’re on a walkway, and you have to go either left or right because there’s a very tall wooden fence separating the complex from the large house next door. So if you turn right and walk down past apartments #4-1 you run into a gate, go through a gate, and you’re now on one of the main streets in midtown. If you were to turn left coming out of the apartment, you will pass apartment #6, then the laundry room, and immediately into a rod iron gate, and immediately on the other side is the dumpster. It’s a very short distance from my door to the dumpster and with nothing to obstruct your view, you can see from the dumpster all the way down the length of the walkway to the gate at the other end of the complex. The entire area is well lit, literally every unit would turn their front porch light on every night, and there is a street light right where the dumpster is, and one right on the other side of the street side gate. So it was easy to see my wife open the gate and head up the walkway towards our apartment. I waved at her and have no idea how she didn’t see me, and I thought about yelling but didn’t want to scare her or startle the neighbors. I was done emptying the garbage so I just started walking the short distance to her. As I’m walking up, I see the door to our apartment open, of course I figured she opened it but it was dark so I didn’t actually SEE her do it, then she kind of leans in and I could hear her calling my name, but she would not walk in to the apartment, our own apartment, so why not walk right in, right? Then, when I got behind her and said hi she became frantic, asking me "how the f**k did you do that, how did you get back outside?!?" I explained I’d been at the dumpster emptying the trash, to which she interrupted me said “no, you opened the door for me and walked upstairs, I called after you and you turned your head and looked at me but didn't say anything and just kept walking", and then she started crying. I searched the apartment, found nothing. We moved about 6 months later to the house we’re at now. One day shortly after we moved in, my wife thought she saw me walk past the windows that look into the back yard from the kitchen, but it wasn’t me, and again she said it looked just like me, and that it walked all the way around the house before disappearing, and then she realized I was in the bedroom.

30+ years ago, my mom’s stepdad passed away (my step-grandpa? he was basically her father; real dad walked out when she was nine).
There was a gathering at the house following the funeral.
Phone rings, my mom picks up, and hears a male caller say her name in an interrogative fashion(like “Susan?!?”). She was sure it was his voice, panicked, and hung up.
Caller didn’t call back, and the reverse dial pulled up a previous number to someone she knew who had called much earlier. So essentially the Call from Beyond didn’t happen as far as the phone company was concerned.
To this day, she believes it was him and regrets panicking and hanging up.
FWIW my mother is not religious/spiritual/etc.
Bonus story:
When my other grandfather passed away (2004, from complications following colon surgery. He was in his late 90s so it was a good run) he was in the hospital following his surgery. My dad and aunt had a feeling it might be a 50/50 chance he pulled through, given his age, so they were present.
He wakes up and asks when he got back. They ask him to explain.
He said he had a dream he was on a road trip in an airstream trailer with a buddy of his with whom he had a falling out 50+ years ago. He was driving and they were blinded by a bright light in the windshield. Then he woke up.
A few minutes later, he went to sleep and passed.
Come to find out he and his buddy had always wanted to do a cross country road trip, but has some kind of falling out and never spoke again. My grandma remembered it happening shortly after WWII. Must have weighed heavily on him.

When I was 22, I awoken to find my mother passed away from a heart attack. She was taken by ambulance, as the paramedics continued to try to revive her. My boyfriend drove me to the hospital, but we were told they couldn't save her. My mom had been my best friend, so the loss was devastating. That night, she came to me in a dream where she told me she watched from above as they administered 3 shots directly to her heart, but to no avail. She said she could see the car I was in also, from above, and she wanted desperately to come back to me but couldn't. At the time, I had no idea that such shots existed, but when I received the ambulance bill, there it was, evidence that what she told me did, in fact, happen. As well, for a few days following her death, our landline would ring, and upon picking it up and saying "hello", all I heard was a strange crackling sound. The last time it happened, I heard the crackling noise, but seemingly from a distance, I heard my mother say

I am the youngest of ten, each child wanted less than the one before. I never had a good memory of my father because he was a terrible alcoholic. (I get why, he had a horrific childhood, his mother died a few weeks after his birth leaving two toddler girls and him to an illiterate immigrant father. A priest found a woman who married him to help with the children and they had another four or five kids —never sure, as I only met a few of them. He was badly abused by both parents).Knowing that didn’t make our life any easier. In fact, my 77 year old brother still has nightmares of dad chasing him, trying to kill him. The only compliment he ever got from our dad was Bob could take a punch and not cry. So, I was asked to leave a month after I turned 17, my senior year of school. I was a good kid. I didn’t do anything wrong.. I was on my own financially, basically, so a sister’s family took me in, and later my brother Bob when he moved back. I finally made peace with the old man in his later years. He died early in the morning of Thanksgiving 30 years ago.

My mother and father went to visit my grandmother(father's mother) when she was ill in hospital when she told them that she saw Karen standing in the corner of the ward smiling and waving at her, Karen who had died a few years before this was born severely disabled and was in a wheelchair her entire life and unable to really smile or communicate beyond small noises so heading this freaked my father out but even weirder was later that night was when we received the phone call to say my grandmother had passed. A few years later my mother suddenly dies and my father visits friends and family that night to let them know, when he gets to one of my cousins house he already knew. He told my father that earlier that day he was in a taxi when the driver told him that two women named Mary were smiling down on him drinking tea and eating penguin biscuits, my grandmother and mother were both named Mary and in all the years I visited my grandmother always served tea and penguin biscuits.

Working on ships, some are pretty old and you hear some weird stories.
4 years ago during a South American season, I used to hang out with the Brazilians, fun and cool people, one was the gift shop manager.
He'd rant and rant about how his team is lazy and how they keep trying to weasel out of working because they claim to see a little girl running around the gift shop, one night, we were having coffee with the head of the Photography department and he's extra salty, talking about how he'll have to do an extra couple of hours because of his team.
In the middle of the night, I get a call from the Photo manager, she tells me our friend in her cabin crying and shivering, I run over, thinking he got some bad news from home or something.
Turns out he was working in his office, the door faces a long mirror that covers most of the wall (clothes section) and after hearing giggling, he saw the shadow of a child through the reflection, as if she was leaning to look into the door while trying to hide, only in the reflection, he says he jumped up and ran out, the giggling and sounds of tiny feet running around the shop and into the Casino (same deck).
I'm not big into the paranormal, but the following day I mentioned this to my boss and she told me that about 20 years back, a little girl came out of the theatre with her parents, she was running ahead of them, around the gift shop, but eventually she went into the Casino, coming out at the Atrium, a drop with Glass lifts that go from Deck 12 to 5, so a good drop, she leaned over the railing to look down, lost her balance and fell, breaking her neck on impact and passing.
Apparently it was a common sighting at the Shop and Casino.

I was reading a library book before bed one night when I was a teenager. It was something really boring I had checked out for a history project for school and I couldn't keep my eyes open. I fell asleep with it on my bed. I had like a sleep paralysis event happen and I watched this shadowy figure of a man walk into my room, look around, pick up a few knick-knacks and put them back down. It was so terrifying, my entire body was screaming to move but I couldn't - not even my fingers. I just wanted to scream for help- but nothing happened, no matter how desperately I tried. I finally got enough courage to look at the man but he wouldn't come into focus for some reason... he was just a shadow, like he wasn't fully there. He came up to the side of my bed and stood over me, looking down at me for what felt like forever. I was so terrified but I couldn't move a muscle. Then he reached down, grabbed my library book, and turned, walking out of my room. I never found that library book, ever, after tearing apart my room and my house.
My mom said it was a coping dream for losing the book but I distinctly remember falling asleep reading it that night and I even had sent a text to my boyfriend that night saying that I wished I had chosen a different book because this ome was putting me to sleep. I had to pay a fine and everything!

I had a sleep paralysis dream a few times about a guy that looked like he was in motorcycle gear. Leather boots jacket gloves holding a helmet standing in the doorway of my bedroom when I lived alone. Terrifying to the point when I was finally able to move I called an ambulance bc I couldn't breathe. They told me to unlock my door but I was too scared. The door was unlocked but did not unlock it. Even scarier. They took me to the ER took tests gave me two xanex and sent me home. I slept for 24 hrs. It happened one other time. Definitely a sleep paralysis dream but so vivid and crazy both times.

Not sure this counts but I once saw a cat, a hare, a rat, a fox, a seagull and a weasel all standing stock still on a b road near Appleby in late summer a couple of years ago. The weird thing was they were totally still in a perfect circle in the road facing each other, I approached in my car and had to stop, I waited a few seconds then they all seemed to snap out of it and legged it in different directions into the surrounding fields. So odd I've never been able to work out what they were doing.

Animals are creepy, I travel a lot for work and during the first covid outbreak of 2019, I went from Perth to Townsville, and there weren’t any trucks, cars or any vehicle on the road it was so creepy (we had a special government pass for then bf’s job) , but what made it creepier was the kilometre upon kilometre of various animals lined up along the side of the road in the middle of the journey, like kangaroos, wallabies, wild dogs and dingos, birds, echidnas all just lined up along the road, it creeped me and my then bf out so bad. It was twilight when this happened too so the eyes looked cool and creepy in the headlights.

Lol reminds me of how I used to joke about the gulls (seagulls? They look like seagulls but I am 2-3 hrs from the sea.) holding church. It's not uncommon to see a big group of them standing around in parking lots of usually busy shops on a Sunday morning when the lots have no cars. Almost always there's one gull separate and the rest facing the one, like a preacher addressing his congregation.

One time as a teenager I was making something to eat and randomly heard a bunch of birds chirping super loud. I look up and into the living room and see at least 20 “spirit” birds flying around the room. Think the old style white light effects they used for Tinkerbell. I was a little weirded out (not too much, at that point I was used to hearing/seeing spirits) and was also hearing “say hi to mom!”. So I asked her. I said, “hey mom? Did you ever have birds? Like, lots of birds? Before I was born?” She stopped and looked very confused. She said, “Yeah. I had close to 2 dozen wild parakeets when I was a teenager. Why?”
I told her because they were all flying around the living room saying hi right then. She had never mentioned before having had birds.

At a cemetery in rural Thailand: blue light orbs that "jumped" from gravestones to the top of the trees.
In Malaysia: seeing a crowd of ragged people crossing a busy intersection. The other three people in the car didn't see anything. This happened in board daylight.
Etc.
I've been seeing and hearing things since a young age. Tried a lot of things to stop it but none worked. So I just live with it because it doesn't seem to have any detrimental effect on me.

I had an uncle who was like that. My Mom told me he could see things even when he was young. One year after my Grandpa passed, they went up to the farm to look around. When my aunt and cousins went to the barn, my uncle saw my Grandpa staring out the breezeway window at him. My Grandpa loved the farm and was waiting for my Grandma to pass. After she died, he was never seen again.

This is my sister's story and idk if it is paranormal or not, but she thought it was a lil spooky.
She lived in a tiny lil studio apartment one summer and came home to quickly get a bite to eat, wash up and go back out with friends.
She puts some bread in the toaster and goes into bathroom to wash face/do makeup etc. She hears the toaster 'pop' and comes out to get it, but the toast is nowhere to be found. She checked the floors, counters everywhere and it was just gone. Toaster was still hot. Really weirded her out.
Tiger Pearl 3 years ago
Hmm… I would totally have forgotten the bread and just pushed the toaster down especially in the morning. I also do not sleep well at night so have to spend like half an hour convincing myself to get up and make toast. So because I spent the whole half an hour thinking about the process of making toast I would absolutely have one of those false memories of adding in the bread. Or who knows maybe the brain just copies and pastes that portion of the memory clip from a previous successful toast making session. ***Apologies for any errors, I’m doing this on mobile and some weird stuff went down when typing it, lol ***

This is pretty mild, but I took my dog for a walk, got home, went to the corner store 5 minutes away. When I came back opened the door and my whole house smelled like perfume. Locked gate, locked house, security cameras and a dog that barks at everything. I live alone, nobody stopped by and my house smelled like someone ran around spraying Chanel number 5. It doesn't sound believable, I'll never be able to explain it, but it happened.

A few weeks after my grandma died, as I was lying in bed, the almost overwhelming scent of her face powder filled my bedroom. I was eleven at the time and should've been a bit frightened but I wasn't. If I remember correctly, I think I fell to sleep as I was still smelling it. The next day, I told my Mum but her explanation was that it was an olfactory hallucination. I still prefer my explanation.

This happened to me when I was 6. I was in my bed sound asleep when I felt the mattress beside me slowly shift as if someone was laying beside me. I opened my eyes and there was a full grown adult woman beside me.
She wasn't particularly scary, just normal looking but she was a strange person in my bed. Of course I opened my mouth to scream but before I did she put her finger to her lips as if to tell me to be quiet. Her eyes looked very frightened and she seemed to be silently pleading for me to keep quiet.
Of course I screamed my guts out and I heard my parents getting up out of their bed. The strange woman just looked very sad, her eyes were full of tears. Dad turned my bedroom light on and as soon as he did she just wasn't there anymore. No sign of her at all. I slept in my parents room that night. I was very scared but even more so I had a deep feeling of sadness.
That was decades ago and I still remember it clearly.
I've had a few run ins like that, different people though, never that same woman.

My Gran died when I was 10. Shortly after I spent 2 months in New Zealand, I went to bed upset one night and woke up to my Gran sitting on the end of the bed rubbing my feet. It’s a very vivid memory, but I can’t say for sure if it was real or a dream, I remember seeing her, knowing it was her but not how I reacted. I tend to think it was a dream, if it was it’s the only vivid dream I’ve ever remembered clearly

the almost exact SAME thing happened to me when I was 6, too, omg! I woke up in the night to find my bed empty, but there was a large dresser with a mirror close to my bed against the wall. In the mirror, I see my grandfather smoking a cigarette. I looked back to the bed and he was not there but in the mirror on my bed. I wanted to scream but something told me not to... so I didn't. I casually turned on the light and there was nothing... I have never heard of a similar story. Thanks for sharing that!!!

I had something similar happen shortly after my mom died. She was killed in a car wreck in February of '97, and a few days later (I don't really remember exactly how long, a couple of days, a couple of weeks?) I felt someone sit on my bed as I lay there crying. I look up thinking my dad came in, but there was no one there. I swear I smelled her and almost felt her hug me, but I can't say for sure.

My first year of university a girl I lived with had her friend over one night. He’d been shooting footage on London Bridge at 3AM to get some shots of it abandoned at night. He was really riled up about something and insisted we watch it with the audio up all the way and listen closely.
Around the 1 minute mark I heard a low, deeply menacing voice whisper slowly “as you walk the devil’s path..” then something unintelligible… then “…death.” It felt so final and evil. He turned to us and said, “did you hear it?” I said I’d heard a voice. “What did it say?” I told him what I’d heard.
His face went white. “You heard the exact same thing as me. You’re not the first.” My housemate said she’d heard the same thing as well. He hadn’t heard the voice when he was on the bridge, only when he was working on the audio, but he’d shown it to other people who had heard the same thing.
I don’t really have any other paranormal encounters so this one might not stand out, but I’m generally wary of paranormal s**t and this still scared me. There was some sort of presence on that bridge at night. It wanted to make itself known. I don’t ever want to know what it was.

I was working at a summer camp in the PNW one year. On the second or third night there, I was jogging alone back from the staff campfire to the cabin, where the campers and my co-counselor slept. I'm walking in this big grassy throughway that has some taller reeds separating it from a shore of the Puget Sound. It's probably... 2am? Full moon.
As I'm jogging I see this... person. In the reeds. It's wearing a white gown, and it has no face, just hair. I only notice it because, as I approached it, it stood up from a crouched position, backed up joltily a few steps, then crouched down again, but I could still see it crouching there, like it was waiting. Its movements told me that it was not human. My knees gave out, and I felt flooded with fear as I collapsed. I tried to run back to my cabin but my legs would. not. work. I crawled and scrambled there on all fours. I tried to scream but no sound came out. Just gasping. I finally got to my cabin and fumbled with the doorknob for what felt like a minute before I could open it. I closed the door and stood there waiting for a while inside. I didn't hear anything, but I barely slept.
At some point later that night I remember laughing, thinking "Oh, it was just one of the campers peeing!" I was hysterically laughing at myself for like twenty minutes, then fell asleep.
Next morning though, I realize that no campers returned to the cabin that could have potentially been out there peeing that night. I asked all of them, and all of them said they hadn't gone out to pee the previous night.
I'll add that this was a camp that was *overtly* for nonreligious, skeptically minded staff and campers, of which I was and still largely am, but I have no explanation for what I saw that night. Still scares the s**t out of me just typing this.

This is the weirdest one for me because I had recurring dreams for quite a few years of that same type of figure, white gown, hair (also white or light gray although you didn't mention in your story, so not sure if a full match) with no face. In my dreams, I was always fishing with my uncle on the lake. Many different lakes/locations over the number of dreams, and that figure was always standing in the reeds along the bank.

As an officer on a reservation, we kept getting reports of a “tall man” at different places in a town on our reservation. One night we was able to catch him on a thermal camera. There was about 8-10 officers there. It was on a hill overlooking the town that was right below.
Tall, about 8-9 feet tall. Long dark hair. Human face. Really fast and quick
We sent officers that was in the town over to where it was walking towards a housing and we could see the officer get out and cross a fence and look with his flashlight but it looked like the figure was in a slight ravine to his side and couldn’t see it. We was giving directions on radio but our portable radios sucked and unless you was right next to your unit, they wouldn’t work. We watched as the tall figure walked right down the middle of the street and we could hear all the dogs in the housing start freaking out. It then walked out of sight.

My best friend and I found a store that didn't exist.
It was full of pagan items and things like it, such as zodiac sign necklaces, candles, and books. It was downtown in our small city, and we were both familiar with the area and had never seen this store before. We ended up not buying anything because we were a couple of broke teenagers, but we did agree that we were going to return when we had more money.
Except that when we did have more money, maybe two weeks later, that store was gone. It wasn't that the owner had closed up and left an empty space behind. The doorway no longer existed. It hadn't been freshly bricked over or anything, it just wasn't there.

Ever since I was 10, I’ve always encountered a sleep paralysis episode once a month. This experience I will never forget. I went to sleep really early then I usually do. Probably around 7 or so. I woke up at 2 in the morning and found out I couldn’t move. I tried calling my mom and dad but nothing. Living in a big room was always unsettling for me since there were lots of shadowy corners. I’m saying this because in one corner there was a long dark black figure. It had no facial features from what I remember. But the legs and that huge long body is what terrified me the most. It crept closer and closer. Every movement felt like hours. Then it got to the side of my bed and their long finger was pointed at me. I closed my eyes and I think that’s when I passed out. I woke up a few hours later at 4 and it was still dark. The figure was gone though. I didn’t get out of my bed or anything. I just cried and cried and cried. I stayed up the rest of the night looking at the corners every second. The trauma from that was so bad that I had to go see a therapist and my mom pulled me out of school for a few days so I could relax and be to myself. Every now and then I think about that day. And it makes me cry. The thought of me thinking I would die or being taken still scares me.

I've had a few instances of sleep paralysis and it terrified me to my core. I remember one night where I saw a dark shape climb out of my wardrobe and approach me, the thing was the deepest black except for a white mask where the face should be(for years I described the mask as being like a Plague doctors mask except with a pointy nose, then about 7/8 years after the incident I saw the anime Bleach and the Menos Grande mask is identical to the thing I saw that night) the thing sat in my chest and pulled the pillow from behind my head and pressed it to my face. I remember trying to kick, punch, or scream but nothing happened because my body was immovable, to this day I can still picture the feeling of the pillow being used to smother me and I'm immensely grateful that I've not suffered from sleep paralysis in years.

I had sleep paralysis almost daily when I became pregnant and took afternoon naps. I didn’t see any foreboding character, but I couldn’t move even a little finger and it felt like a heavy weight was pushing me down into the bed. I tried calling out but only a squeak would come out. The more I panicked, the harder it was to wake up. I eventually trained myself out of it by telling myself that it was sleep paralysis and if I relax and take deep breaths, the episode wouldn’t last long. Thankfully, The episodes stopped when I gave birth.

Never believed in ghosts, openly mocked people that did. Went camping and my wife and I were going to sleep in the pole barn. Brought the dog into the barn and immediately she was freaking out. Very uncommon for such a relaxed and tired dog. Walking around the air mattress and whining. After about 5 minutes of me telling her to calm down, a light shines through the aluminum siding.
Imagine holding a flashlight on the other side of a curtain doing a figure 8. It seemed like there was some sort of flashlight shining through the aluminum door.
I don't mention anything for a few minutes as I'm questioning everything I've ever known to be true. My wife asks "Do you see that?". I say "Oh f**k, you see it too?". At that exact moment I realized we both saw it, it turned into the brightest orb I've ever seen. Lit up the whole barn as if it was daytime. Then it started floating towards us. I yelled at my wife to run and the dog was already at the door. We ran as fast as we could and didn't dare go back to get the air mattress. Our dog never would walk in that pole barn again.

So mine is dumb, but it's the closest I've got. Summer of 2020 I had just finished up working on an outdoor drive-in concert, and was standing around chatting with the rest of the crew as the audience cleared out. Mid conversation, I saw a woman walk behind the group wheeling a bicycle (I was the only one facing her). I don't know what came over me, but as soon as I saw her I said out loud "that's a f*****g ghost", when I looked again she was gone.
What makes bizarre to me is that it was perfectly reasonable for there to be a woman wheeling a bicycle through the parking lot, a big concert had just ended so its not surprising. What was weird was that when I saw this totally normal thing my brain immediately and unequivocally recognized her as a ghost.

Back in June of 2020 my friend, his wife, my dad and some of my friend's friends all went on a ghost investigation at Benson Grist Mill. It's a 100+ year old mill that was made by one of the leaders of the mormon church at the time.
Once I got onto the property I instantly felt like I had an apple lodged in my throat. I thought it was anxiety and I just brushed it off. We entered into a house that was on the property and tried to get an evp recording. I felt like something was trying to shove me to the ground.
I then met up with my friend in the basement of the mill and I began to cry for no reason. His wife helped me get out of the mill and calm down. After about 30 minutes I felt the presence of a child telling me to go to the school house. It's as if the child was trying to comfort me. I found out later there was a little girl who passed away near the mill.
I woke up the next morning with bruises on my neck. I went back again and something else happened. I can make another post about it if anyone is interested haha.

My dad had s**t going on in his house, so much s**t that almost every kid who would come in, myself, my sisters, my brother and my dad have all had multiple experiences in there.
I remember one time, I was going upstairs to have a shower. The bathroom was the end of the hallway and on the way to it, I had to pass by the room I shared with my sisters when I was over for the weekends. As I passed by, I seen something sit up on the bottom bunk (we had bunk beds in there) out of the corner of my eye. This thing looked like a little girl. She had pale skin, short black hair that was cut in a bob style with straight bangs covering her forehead, and her eyes were these massive circles with large black dots in the center for pupils. She was facing sideways so her right shoulder was facing me when she turned her head, the other half of her body looked like it was under the blankets.
I remember getting such an intense feeling of fear that I went back downstairs and refused to go upstairs at all or even sleep in the house. My dad had to set up the camping tent in the backyard for the rest of the weekend
If this occurrence had been nothing/me just seeing things that weren't there, I feel like I shouldn't still remember it in perfect detail at the age I am now (seen it when I was maybe 6 or so. I'm 23 now)

When I was about 14 my family had just moved to a house in the suburbs where there was a lot of open space and the house had a huge backyard. One night about 22:00 I opened our sliding door to take out the trash and I saw 2 figures walking towards the house. The best way I could describe them is they were all black, slim almost looked and moved like kangaroos, but I was living in New Jersey and they don’t exist in that area. Also they were walking 4 footed, but when I opened the door and turned on the light they stood up on 2 feet and began to run. Now I turned and shut the door before I completely saw them run but I got a good enough glance to know this wasn’t any regular animal like a deer. And besides there was never any deer in that neighborhood so this was definitely something different. Still creeps me out over 15 years ago

I was working in a clients house, it always seemed dark to me, even with the lights on. There were three bedrooms on the upper floor, the master bedroom on the East side, the two children’s bedrooms on the West side. The bathroom was on the North. One day I was upstairs, by myself working in the top floor hallway. I turned for some reason and saw an old woman wearing a floral housecoat(?), walking from the bedroom nearest to the bathroom INTO the bathroom. She was SEE THROUGH. Startled I stood silently. She didn’t seem to notice me. Freaked out I went downstairs and sat on the porch to smoke a cigarette. I wasn’t dehydrated, nor hungry, or tired. After awhile I went back upstairs and continued working. When I again had to go that way, she again appeared, heading from the bedroom to the bathroom. I have had many, many experiences of ‘preknowing,’ of things I couldn’t possibly have known. Still, I was shocked, am still shocked. I saw a ghost.

Kangaroos also walk on all fours when they want, hopping is mostly for when they want to get somewhere faster.

I saw a UFO when I was 11 years old. I will swear on this until the day I die.
It was around 9:00-9:30 at night, and it was the spring time. I was wide awake, completely sober, not on any meds.
I looked out the window, and in between my house and my neighbors house were a bunch of trees. It was a wooded area. Well, on the ground in this wooded area was a UFO. Except, the physical surroundings were unaffected. None of the trees were crushed. This UFO sat there for about 5-10 minutes, then slowly took off in the air. In just went around in circles as it got higher, and as it got higher, the circles got wider. This lasted another 5 minutes or so until it vanished

So I'll Tell this as it happened an how I saw it. I was about 12 and it was early morning. I was sitting on the floor of my bedroom facing east as the sun was just rising. So the sky was lightening an a bit warm toned. I saw going from north to south (left to right) a ball or some shape, but the leading edge was roundish, with a tail like a jet would make but fire colored. As if the rising sun was lighting it from behind. I estimated it to be going from land (southern ct in a town called Stratford) out over Long Island sound direction. I I'm watching it move north to south an I'm like "oh is that a comet or meteor or ufo" in my head, and I swear it turned and started to head towards my house. It was still miles away so probably over the Stratford Milford town lines but it deff did a 90 degree turn and heade towards where I was. I kept thinking it's so beautiful as the sun was coming up but it was also like the sun stopped coming up. Continued in comments coming up. Co

So I'm watching this ball head my direction and I can hear my mom in her bedroom getting up. I'm like thinking "should I have mom come see it or just say goodbye and let it leave?" I swear it turned again back to going south and went straight for a few seconds then poof was gone. Then all that was left was the contrail. I swear it was a ufo. And it heard my thoughts. It was so beautiful to watch burning a line across the morning sky.

In the 70's I saw several UFO's - I asked my husband to pull over to the side of the road so I could get a better look. I asked him to take a look but he said they're just traffic helicopters. Several days later there was a news report that boys (10 or more) in a playground in the UK had witnessed a UFO. The description they gave was exactly what I saw. No one believes you but that's okay - I know what I saw.

Me too, me too! Remember thinking "clouds don't do that".. they don't move in concentric circles. I even reported it to Mufon and was disappointed when no one else saw the same thing. What state were you in?

I have never seen anything just remotely "alien" in my life, but just looking at all that space above at night... I mean really, how can anyone think we are the sole planet with lifeforms on it? 🤷♀️ We probably just are so low in our evolution, that other lifeforms don't really bother with us 🙈

I was on a beach called Butterfly beach in Montecito California. It was late at night and I was walking with a gf at the time. We looked at the beach from an elevated walkway and noticed a small black humanoid creature about 4 feet tall with a massive spherical head maybe 2-3 ft in diameter.
The moon caught it just right and it reflected on its spherical head. My gf at the time screamed and the thing jumped into the ocean and swam away. It was just hanging out in the beach watching the moonlight I guess. Nothing I have googled has explained this thing we saw.

I've told this story before but while my husband and I were driving through the middle of nowhere Nevada in the middle of the night, we swore we saw a gargoyle or something fly across the highway. It had a huge wingspan, 2 arms, and 2 legs. We only saw it for a second as it crossed in front of our car but we both saw the same thing. It could have been some sort of massive bat I guess but gargoyle was definitely what came to mind.

I remember as a kid I would explore old abandoned houses and buildings. One time I heard a rattling noise while in this two story house. Followed the sound upstairs and saw a leather belt on the ground, writhing around and twisting like a serpent. I was too scared to touch it and ran away. There was nothing in that room that could have caused it, no windows for drafts or anything. Sometimes I think I just dreamed it because it was so long ago but it felt so real and I can remember all the details.

ok, so not really a cryptid, but i reckon i've seen something undocumented:
my wife and i were driving along the highway in remote northern west australia. we come around a corner from behind a hill and there's this massive bird in the middle of the highway ripping into a kangaroo. we slam on the brakes to avoid hitting it and it spreads it's wings and flies away. this thing's wingspan was easily longer than our corolla and the top of the bonnet was probably 2/3 the height of it standing on the road. it looked like a type of eagle.
now, a wedge tail eagle is supposed to be the biggest flighted bird in the world. and i've seen wedgetails, right up close and trained to do tricks. this thing was easily at least 4 times the size as that. it could easily lift off with a dog or small child.

they must live in australia, the wedge tailed eagle is the biggest flighted bird in australia, the biggest flighted bird in the world is the wandering albatross, I know this is useless but I was just doing some research to figure out what it was

New Zealand 's Haaste eagle could be close to that size, but they've been extinct for ~800 years.

There was a huge owl that used to buzz people at the Contemporary Hotel at Disney World. One night I was driving past when I came to a curve in the road, and there stood this owl daring me to drive past. It was taller than the hood/bonnet of my Toyota, and I was transfixed. I swear it's wingspan was 6-8 feet. Scared and fascinated me.

So i was taking a shower when i suddenly heard a faint voice, like a woman sobbing, i got out almost immediately. Apparently my step dad had experienced the same thing, and had also seen what he thought was a girl sitting on his side of the bed, but me and my mom were both out of state at the time. Our things will randomly go missing and reappear as well

When i was a child, my niece who my parents adopted after her parents passed, would tell us about nightmares she had about a clown living in our Airing cupboard (from UK, you could call it a boiler room).
We always just thought it was bad dreams obviously.
My partner on one of the times she slept at my mothers house ahe told me she was having dreams of a clown living in the airing cupboard.
No idea how to explain that one.

In college, my roommate and I were living in a notoriously haunted sorority house and we were frequently visited by the resident ghost. The problem is that this ghost came into my roommates dream one night with MY UNCLE. My roommate had never met this uncle (he passed away a decade prior), she didn't know his name at the time, and had never seen a picture of him, but she was able to describe him in vivid detail and knew his name.

My story isn't as scary as some of the things here but one time there was a massive thunderstorm outside and me and my brother was allowed to stay up late because it was my dad's birthday and we had a guest over. me and my bro needed to go get something downstairs but we were afraid that the lights will go out on us due to the storm. so we went downstairs together and just as we were going back upstairs... *pop* the lights went out and me and my brother nearly trampled the f**k out of each other trying to run up the stairs. After the guest left we took a shower, and my family went to sleep. The next morning we found out we slept through a tornado. UPSTAIRS. Another story, I was eating dinner with my family, and it was kinda late and dark outside. While we were eating, a glass cup randomly fell from a shelf onto another glass cup, breaking both of them at once. It was really weird and there was no explanation, and no one saw what happened, we only heard the sound of breaking glass.

I was 20 y.o., when my best friend got killed accidently. I was heartbroken and I couldn't attend his funeral, because of health issues I faced at that time. On the evening of his funeral, I was standing in front of the bathroom mirror washing my teeth, when someone stroked my hair and whispered loud and clearly my name in my ear. I recognized my friend's voice and at the same second I turned my head towards his voice! Of course nobody was next to me and the door of the bathroom was closed. Maybe it was his way to say goodbye....

my dad had just been stationed to a new post but housing wasn't available so we rented a house off base. it was 4 bedrooms: master, mine, guest, & one that was just a place for all my stuffed animals/toys/etc. the last room was always freezing no matter how high you set the baseboard heater. also, we would hear thumping footsteps in the night coming down the hallway. we all heard this but didn't mention it because we thought no one would believe each other. then, my brother came to visit. about 3 days into the visit we're eating dinner and he wants to know who keeps stomping up and down the hallway at night. that was when we all agreed that something was going on. mom/dad found a house in town to buy so on the day we moved out mom was doing final cleaning. dad & i were outside when she comes running out of the house. she said she was vacuuming and she saw something running up the hallway at her. she refused to go back in for the vacuum and would have left it there if dad hadn't gotten

When my son was a baby we lived in a very old farmhouse. His crib was in our bedroom at the end of the bed. One night I woke and saw the shape of a woman in a long white nightgown with loose hair and a sad kind of smile on her face looking down at my son in his crib. I actually wasn't freaked out or afraid - I just had this feeling that she was checking on him to make sure he was ok. I still gasped in surprise and she looked up and kind of vanished. I never saw her again.To this day I am still not sure if I dreamed it or if she was really there.
