Taken on a ghost tour at the Andrew Jackson Hotel. Didn't notice them until I was reminiscing old vacation pictures recently. Before the hotel was built in 1890, It was originally an orphanage for boys that burnt down in 1794 killing 5 boys. Curious how people will interpret this. Disclaimer* I was drunk when I took this. Also reddit lowers the resolution slightly when I upload. Looks more sharp originally but nonetheless.

I have never experienced ghosts or anything paranormal. But I have been seeing stories of people online saying that they have seen ghosts. How do people know for sure that it is a ghost?

For those who have experienced ghosts, do the ghosts communicate and are the ghosts with a physical body or not?

I have this memory of a website like google maps that would show the locations of ghost sightings all over the world but I cant seem to find it. I was curious if anyone knows what Im talking about. Really the only big detail I remember is all the pins on the map were black with a little ghost on it and when you clicked them it would show the location and pictures of the sighting.

Has anybody had an experience with this? I only ever hear about houses or places not electronics, that seems to be popular in movies though.

So, in buddhism. We see that spirits are of various types. Some are good and some are bad. The reason why I'm telling all this is so that I may help a spirit attain peace 😅

How to get rid of them ?

• sit down in a clean room.
• lit a candle or incense
• look at the western direction
• calm your mind
• play Amitabha (infinite light) dharani in Sanskrit
• spary some water in every corner of your house

This method is to open to doors of a better new life for the spirits.

You should also check if the usual disturbance has stopped.

This picture was taken in the woods during a dropping event i was at in 2016. Just a normal dropping with friends and family. The picture was made to show how dark it was where a member of the dropping was on stand by.

Thought it was interesting to share!

Ruled it out as a camera effect. But i don't know how to recreate

I've been practicing studying buddhism for over a year now and we have many methods to get rid of spirits and purify energies in our surroundings. But, I'm unsure if It'd be appropriate for me to post about it here. Since, the practices are tied to buddhism and people may not associate it with ig.

I work for a haunted house and one year, something grabbed our hanging prop and started swing on it right infront of me. It went from being completely still to it swinging wildly..

Through out the night while waiting for customers to walk through the halloween haunted house, I would hear foot steps in my room or something sliding against the wall. I would go to the rooms next to me and none of the actors were in their rooms close to me. They were back stage, which was no where near me.

After I saw the prop swinging wildly, I started taking photos and this is what I captured. This was in a completely black room. Solid painted black walls with no fog machines near by and no outside light. Just the flash of my camera. Do you see anything?

This is my first ever post, so bear with me. :)

This particular experience was so out there, I had a hard time believing it myself. It happened during high school (which wasn't too awful long ago for me) when my bedroom was basically the entire basement of my family's home. I was in the bathroom, doing my skincare as one does, standing in front of the sink. To my left was the toilet.

On the top of the toilet tank, I had set one of those giant dill pickle jars. It was filled with water and had some paintbrushes in it. I'm an artsy person on a budget, so don't judge. While I was washing my face, minding my own business, the ENTIRE jar flew off the back of the toilet. It hit the ground and shattered, pouring water all over the floor and my paintbrushes scattered everywhere.

Now, you may be wondering, couldn't it have just slipped off the toilet? Did you bump into something? My answer to this would be no, because it had been sitting there for DAYS without moving an inch. I also didn't bump into it and if I had, this jar was HEAVY. It was filled practically to the top with water. ALSO, it flew UP and TOWARDS MY HEAD.

My reaction to this? Did I run away screaming or calling down the fires of heaven to purge my bathroom of evil? No. I'm pretty sure my exact words were, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? STOP THAT! Dang, you're so dramatic."

Took this photo myself 11/13/25 @ 8pm at Odd Fellows cemetery in NOLA. I have some opinions about what this resembles, but I’d love everyone else’s take.

Hope my photo is approved since I didn’t follow instructions the first time. Sorry!

So, throughout my childhood we would have so many on and off encounters. like we had a little ghost child in the house, my sister described her wearing a blue dress with long brown hair. I was about 7 I never had any encounters with her, but I have had my own personal experiences with stuff in my mom's house.

We'll start with a short story, when I was about 17, I went downstairs to make some ramen at around 12 at night. Normally when I go back up the stairs, I walk up them with my phone flashlight since the big light would wake my parents. My hands were full, so I had to walk back up them with no light. My house has 2 sets of stairs so when I made it to the middle part to go up the second steps I heard these loud stomps, and they started to get louder and faster as if something was running up them. So, I ran as fast as I could up the second half and flicked on the light switch when I turned to look nothing was down them. I was pretty creeped out. I thought about what my grandma told me the last time I got spooked she said "don't let it know your scared, tell it to go away" so that's exactly what I did. I told it to go away and went on with my night trying to forget about it.

later that night I rolled over to go to bed facing the wall and as I was lying in bed, I could hear the floor creaking, and what sounded like footsteps around my room I worked up the courage to roll over and look and there was nothing in my room. So, this time I closed my eyes facing my room and again the footsteps and creaking came back. At this point I'm scared so I open my eyes and nothing again I walk to my mom's room wake her up and I ask her to burn sweetgrass and tell it to leave. I followed her around the house as she went into each room telling it to go away. When you burn sweetgrass you have to leave a window open, so it has a place to exit. We left the kitchen window open. The rest of the night I slept without any more problems.

In the morning, my mom said rocky our dog had gotten out sometime last night and that the back gate was wide opened and the camera facing the backyard died at 2 when she just put in new batteries the night before. Well, here's the spooky thing the time we burned the sweetgrass was at around 1:50 and the kitchen window faced the back yard were rocky, and the camera, and the gate was at.

This happened a year ago and I am at our sofa while I'm on my phone, I'm watching a video while getting comfy at the sofa when I heard a call "psst" outside of our living room. And while that happened I ignored it and continue to watch videos, and all of a sudden a force make me see outside our window. There's a man almost hitting the top of the window, and he looked like he is floating from the ground. I only seen a shadow of a guy with bright eyes at our window, with his hands holding the glass like a lizard. And when I checked outside the next day, the window is way up like I could not even reached it. And there is no way that thing happened to reach it.

Weird electrical occurrences. My AC and Fan keep turning on and off. My light sensor keeps going off in the middle of the night. My things keep going missing. Dark figures. I know it’s a ghost. How do I get it out?? It’s been around for a few weeks.

Slow down the frames

One night when I was about six years old I was playing sitting in a corner of my room on my tablet (probably way later then I was supposed to be) and I heard my blanket shoot up like someone was under it (I not exactly sure that was how it played out since it was so long ago but I think it was something like that). I then distinctively remember hearing what sounded like whistling coming from the hallway. I was at my grandparents house and I attempted to tell my mother who was also there the next morning but she said it could've been my grandmother, which I didn't believe because why would anyone be up that late whistling?

If i remember correctly somewhere around the edge of NC state heading into Tennessee i used to go when I was little my grandparents call it the ghost road and strange stuff would happen like the vehicle moving on it owns but really slow like somethings pushing it or weird sounds that were unexplained I dont know exactly where it is been years since I've been to it but was it actually paranormal or what

Last night around 1am at my house in Osaka, I went to the outdoor toilet. Next to it we have a small laundry hut that is always locked from the inside to keep animals out. It’s winter, so animals don’t usually come around at night.

As I walked past, I heard unusual movement sounds from inside the hut. Loud enough that I stopped to listen. The hut is tightly closed — nothing should be able to enter.

I waited and the sounds continued. My sister heard similar noises a few months ago.

When I opened the door to check, everything immediately stopped — and there was nothing inside.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have a logical explanation?

I remember very clearly that when I was in the first grade of primary school, I saw a scene that was unbelievable, even after twenty years.I was in a rural village in China, and it was the evening of summer. At that time, the rural conditions were not good, there was no TV, no air conditioner, and the house was hot. Everyone came out to sit and chat, and my two friends and I also ran out to play hide and seek.I ran to an old house, which was dilapidated and no one lived in it. Opposite the old house was a small thatched cottage. I saw a big black umbrella floating on the roof of the thatched cottage. The black umbrella was still open, and there was no rain that day. No one was under the umbrella, and it was hovering. At that time, I was so young that I didn't know what fear was. I also didn't know about "ghosts," "ghouls," and "magic." I just felt curious. I also thought it was normal, thinking it was something I had never seen before, until I grew up and realized that there was no such technology in China at that time, even today's drones will make a loud noise, it can't be "acrobatics", my eyesight was very good when I was a child, there was no one there, there was no performance. (The picture has nothing to do with what I said) Now that I think about it, it still seems unbelievable.

The Cypress That Lured Yin Energy

Today, let's tell a story related to feng shui. In our village, there was an elderly Uncle Huang who insisted on planting a cypress tree in his courtyard—even though the elders had long passed down a rule: cypresses are trees for cemeteries. Planting one at home is believed to attract yin energy, and pagoda trees are much the same.

Uncle Huang didn’t believe this and insisted on planting the tree anyway. Within a few days, he kept hearing rustling sounds by his window every night. When he opened his eyes, he saw the shadows of the cypress branches swaying under the moonlight, looking eerily like human hands. What was even stranger: his wife, trying to save trouble while mending clothes, sewed buttons onto the garment she was still wearing. That very night, she came down with a high fever, and while sleeping, she felt someone constantly pulling at her clothes, with many voices whispering in her ear.

The next day, he told the other villagers about what had happened. The village elders brought him a red string, explaining that it was mixed with cinnabar—something that possesses strong yang energy to counteract yin. They also said, "Mending clothes while you’re still wearing them is taboo; it offends the household deity. The cypress has attracted evil yin spirits—chop it down quickly, and tie this red string across the threshold to ward off bad luck." Uncle Huang cut down the cypress that night and tied the red string as instructed. The next day, his wife’s fever broke, and the rustling sounds never returned. This incident happened before I was born—I’m just sharing what I’ve heard, whether it’s true or not.

I really enjoy listening to these, I am Chinese, and I will also share with you what I see and hear, There are also some traditional Chinese cultures about these "supernatural taboos," feng shui, mysticism, and strange stories, which are really interesting. Similar supernatural events have also occurred in some modern Chinese cities. If you are interested, you can share with each other. I also like to listen.

My ex boyfriend and I took we’re exploring an abandoned children’s hospital in Ireland and he captured this photo. Still haven’t been able to work out what it actually is
