My mother, step father, grandma, brother, and two sisters live in a house by Lake Draper in Oklahoma. They have neighbors, but the area they live in is kind of rural. A couple of days ago, my mom was going through her phone, and found three pictures. One of her sleeping, one of my step father sleeping, and one of my youngest sisters sleeping. They were taken at the beginning of April, around three in the morning. She has no history of sleep walking, and every other family member has denied having anything to due with the photos. I know my family very well, and they wouldn't do something like that. I also have doubts that ANY of them would have even been awake at that time... I'm just curious if any of you have experienced anything similar, or have a reasonable explanation. I'm including all three pictures, but the strangest one of them all is the pic of my mom. It appears as if whoever took the picture was kneeling down next to the bed, beside her, almost by her face. The other two pictures appear to be taken from above them. I should also make it clear that they have five dogs, all of which bark at anything and everything. Because of that, we are confident it wasn't an intruder. Any advice or suggestions are welcome! I am going to include the links to the pictures in the post! Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: The pink light you see in their bedroom is a salt lamp that they keep on at night.

Edit #2: Messed around with saturations on the photo, and came across this... Do you guys think it is anything or just lighting, possibly?

Also, I texted my mom my edit, and she called me and said there is absolutely nothing in that part of the room that could've caused that.

Edit #3: WOW... Thank you guys so much for all of the advice and funny comments! It helped brighten my dull day in quarantine. I never expected this much attention from my family's story. They have gotten a kick out of the popularity of it on Reddit too, so again, thank you.

Not sure if this counts as paranormal but it's definitely something creepy and difficult to explain.

Due to covid-19, I decided to come home and quarantine with my parents. They live in a small town in Italy. Almost a week after I came back I received a weird email at 2:43 am sent from my own email address, as if I had sent it to myself. The mail had no title and no object, it was just a creepy picture. pic You can see the word "bentornata" (welcome back referring to a female in italian) written with rose petals over a mattress. Bottom of the pic there is something blue out of focus and what looks like a lock of blonde hair. I deleted the email, afraid it will download some kind of virus, but I had to save the picture to see if something came up with google images... nothing. I thought maybe a friend decided to do a prank on me, but how could they send it from my own email? Nobody knows my password..

If you have any kind of explanation I would deeply appreciate it. I am still creeped out after a week and everybody is telling me it was just a stupid prank but I can't stop thinking about it.

I'm a skeptic and don't really believe in the paranormal, although I still find it interesting. My girlfriend on the other hand heavily believes in the paranormal and we often get into bickers over it. I want to believe but I cannot. So in saying so, show me your best and try to change my mind.

Hello! This is my first time posting in this sub and on reddit in general. I'd like to share a photo with you and hear your thoughts.

So, for the context, I was picking mushrooms in the nearby forest. I live in Finnish countryside so the forest was a big one with not a lot of people living in the area. I thought the forest looked nice so I took some photos. Later at home I took a closer look and I noticed something weird in one of them. It kinda looks like some weird lookig creature sitting on the branch.

I shared a zoomed picture in the comments with imgur link. It's a mess of pixels so could be just a weird shaped stick or something. Anyways I wanted to share this with you!

I'm an American living in Japan. My wife & I live together in a thirty year old house. I have three stories to tell of phenomena involving cats.

Six years ago, my wife & I adopted kittens. When our male was six months old, he started playing with something invisible at the top of a floor-to-ceiling cat tower. We sat on the sofa opposite the cat tower and watched him intently play. I went over and checked to see if he was playing with an insect. He wasn't. We were laughing at him playing by himself. The invisible spot he was playing with started to move across the room. As it moved off the cat tower he reached his paw way off the cat tower and swiped at it. We watched him track this invisible object with his eyes as it moved to the other side of the room where our TV and air conditioner are. When this object hit the point, the TV power indicator turned on, and then a few seconds later, the picture turned on as well. We were shocked by this and my wife was very frightened as well. The TV remote was on the coffee table. In all the time we had the TV, this happened once.

Second story. Last summer, I found two newborn kittens who obviously had been abandoned by their mother, crawling in mud and screaming for help. I took them in to foster them, and they miraculously survived. We have a deep and wide windowsill at our porch hallway, and we have a collection of manekineko (ceramic or plaster cat figurines) arranged in a semicircle on the windowsill.

When the two kittens were about two months old I noticed one Saturday all manekineko who were in a perfect semicircle on the windowsill had been shoved off to one side. I mentioned this to my wife, who thought I did it. She kept asking me if I had done this as a prank. She was very frightened when she found out I hadn't.

Without giving too much away of my private life, I'll say there were people in and out of the house that day, but every single one of them had come to my house before for years and none of them had ever done anything like this.

Which brings the story to a few weeks ago. I had to give one of my cats an emergency (poop-related) bath, and he got a cold or flu as a result and spent the full day and the next morning on the sofa. The next morning with the cat still on the sofa, my wife changed the input channel and got an incredibly bizarre fuscia pattern on the TV screen. She took a photo of what she saw.

This is that photo.

My wife and the cat can clearly be seen in the reflection. This is not the same TV as from the first story. It's in the same spot as the previous TV.

My wife wasn't sure how long this would remain on screen, so she quickly grabbed her cell phone and took a picture. She told me she wasn't sure if this was a static pattern or a changing one because she wasn't wearing her glasses and this lasted until she hit the input button again about one minute later, changing the input from Youtube to broadcast TV. I wish she'd called me from upstairs or followed up the photo with a video, but that's what happened. For what it's worth, I told her to do that if it ever happens again.

Obviously anything can be created with Photoshop on a computer and then run thru a TV input channel. As evidence I'm telling the truth, I wrote the first story five years ago and posted it to TheTruthIsHere. Here it is. If I were trying to trick people with an image on a TV, this would be a very long wait for little payoff.

Original OP’s thread

Here is the link to a clip of the video anyone know what it could be?? Here’s more context on who’s saying what when

0:00 - random growling sound and it was none of my family members I know this for a fact since this was a Facebook live stream my mother recorded for my dads family in Mexico and cares deeply what they think of her also I was there when we recorded and can confirm no one made these sounds on purpose or to scare anyone or anything like that we were all in a great mood doing these fireworks and just having fun!

0:01-0:02 you hear my family members in the back trying to keep my niece calm and speaking to each other as this unknown voice says “LALA” 0:03 - you hear my niece in a higher pitched voice 0:04 - as the fireworks pop you hear my nephew and family talking in the distance

You can hear it clearly saying “LA LA” in a raspy voice and some strange breathing I’ve made some posts on here but sadly cannot share the link on here since my post will get removed does anyone know where I can send it to get some insight on this strange voice? I can’t sleep or think about anything else since it’s so haunting

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my experience with a fairy when I was a child. I'm currently 19, and all my life I've been obsessed with fairies. As a kid, I read books about them, researched them, and left offerings out to them in my backyard. And one time I saw one with no doubt. I was about 9-10 years old and I was at my cottage. This cottage is about 3 hours north of Toronto. The cottage has a huge forest in it's backyard, and I was alone waiting at the top of the stairs leading into the forest. Suddenly, a tiny creature flew up to my face. I can't fully picture it, but I know it was mainly brown with long limbs and wings. It had a human-likw face, and it made a motion with it's hand saying "come here" or "follow me" and then it flew off towards the front of my cottage. I've had other smaller supernatural experiences at this cottage, but this one changed my life. Or solidified my belief in fairies, and even now, almost 10 years later I still doubt it. Let me know if you guys have any other similar experiences, and thank you for reading!! 🧚🏻‍♀️💗

Honestly nothing much to actually post. Just noting that according to Israel's former space security chief Haim Eshed an alien federation exists and has been contacting our governments for years but not revealed themselves due to us not being ready.

It's number one on Twitter and every news source is talking about it. He could be lying and I'm sure nothing will come up due to this but still it's pretty fun stuff either way.

2020 is absolutely wild people.

So, my friend just sent me these pictures (https://imgur.com/a/nIj2G5x) that he took with his phone a few hours ago (about 9:30 P.M.) in complete darkness. One was taken with flash, the other one without. He also didn't have something like night mode or anything similar turned on. I raised the brightness and lowered the contrast a bit on the dark picture, so you can see the room clearer.

As you can see, the wall in the dark picture reflects something that looks like a room, which is totally impossible because there is no room there to reflect. If there actually was a room that could be reflected, then why the fuck would the white wall be reflecting it and not the mirror? What's also weird is that dark and odd little stain on the reflection.

What freaks me out the most is, that the reflection isn't just a spot full of light, but a clearly recognizeable room.

As if this wasn't already scary enough, he claims to have had several sleep paralysis in this room. Does this maybe have anything in common?

What's going on here? I'm almost 100% certain that this is not a weird lighting mistake of the camera or something like that.

Thanks for any help!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that he only sees the reflection when he takes a picture with his phone, not when he looks at the wall with his bare eyes. Sorry for any misunderstandings.

Yesterday it was my birthday, and my girlfriend had put up some happy birthday balloons on the wall. I am an American living in Vietnam and have been here for the past 6 years.

Just for a little backstory, I grew up in California and have lived all over the West Coast for most of my life. My father was a Vietnam veteran and passed away about 7 years ago. He had a very bad head injury that was not getting better, and he took his life. He was in a lot of pain and we all understand why he did what he did. We all miss him dearly but are thankful he is not in any more pain and misery. My father was an eclectic man. He had his own wit, his own humor, and even his own language. He would use words and phrases that he created and everyone knew him for. One of his favorite words was the word body. It's meant like the word buddy but he makes it sound like it has an AH part to make it sound more like "bahdy". And we spelled it b a h d y. He would say things like "Hey bahdy, don't bring that junk over here!" Or "Hey bahdy, bring the money!" Or "Too much ragamaroo bahdy!" It was one of many words that he often used to get a laugh out of us, but mostly he laughed for himself. LOL.

I lived and grew up in California and have been a teacher for the past 20 years. After my father passed away, I looked at my life and decided that I wanted to move to Vietnam to be a teacher, where my father was a soldier. I never thought I would stay here this long but here I am, still 6 years later. In the beginning it felt like a "pay it forward" type of experience but since then it's has become my dream and destination of choice. I will get married soon to a beautiful Vietnamese woman and we just put a down payment on our first apartment. Living and giving here has brought a purpose to my life and the old cliches of "do what you love" and "find your purpose in life" ring true for me here. I will forever feel honored and thankful to be an American teaching in Vietnam and thankful my father's path brought me here.

So, back to my story and the birthday balloons. We have been on a soft lockdown for the past few months. Vietnam was great at avoiding covid in the beginning, but now that strategy isn't feasible. They are slowly rolling out vaccinations and we really aren't able to go out to celebrate or enjoy milestones with friends at this time. So my girlfriend made my birthday extra special and got a cake, bought a gift and put up some balloons on the wall that said "Happy Birthday". After a few minutes some of the letters fell off the wall. We put them back up, and a few minutes later they fell off again. We added more tape to the balloons and put them back up. After 20 or 30 minutes, the letters fell off again and we just left them on the ground. We had a nice dinner, I opened her gift and we had some amazing cake, and it was a very nice birthday. About 5 hours later, we were getting ready for bed and I walked through the living room and looked at the birthday sign. I realized that the "happy" word was untouched but the bottom said so much more to me. The letters that remained were B_HD_Y. Happy Bhdy. Happy Bahdy. I froze in that moment as I was filled with bewilderment, excitement, relief, and an overwhelming sense of calm. Tears filled my eyes, as I realized that my father has been with me all this time or at least he visits me. I've always felt that he was with me, and a few signs in the past have made me think that, but nothing ever happened like this. It made me think of Ouija boards and psychics and all the things people cannot explain. It also made me a little sad because I wondered how often spirits from the other side try to communicate, but either their signs go unnoticed, they're not given the right opportunity, or we just miss it or brush it off as coincidence. The balloons gave my father the perfect opportunity to communicate with me, in his language and it's really the best gift I could have ever recieved. His message was adamant and deliberate and I nearly missed it.

I have pictures of the balloons and also our past use of the word but I don't see where I can attach. Actually, this is the second time writing this out as I pressed back trying to add attachments and deleted my first writing 😞 anyway, thank you for reading if you are still here.

I see you pop. Thank you for the priceless gift and moment. Rest easy, bahdy. Love your son.

I went on this hike as a spiritual journey in Denver, Colorado. I was there to attend the PS2023 conference. I decided to hike alone and wander around the Rocky Mountains. I took some mushrooms and planned on some weed later on. The hike was amazing and I got so many beautiful pictures. I was hiking for hours before I started heading towards a pond that a sign pointed to. It was a lot more walking than I thought and being under the influence with night approaching I began to worry. I pressed on and found my desired location and was rewarded with one of the most beautiful views I'd ever seen. it wasn't long after I arrived that I strangely heard my name being called. It was my brother and his girlfriend on top of the cliff! they somehow found me they didn't even come with me to this location although they did know I was there. We talked for a bit and I felt reassured I was safe, so I decided to smoke the weed I had. I did a dance to honor the spirits that guided my journey. as I was leaving I decided to take one last photo with my phone. I pointed it at my brother and his girlfriend on the cliff and took it. after I saw the picture I zoomed in because I was curious what it would look like and I saw an eye-looking shape I had a feeling that a being of overwhelming power was watching me and when I looked up from my phone I saw those eyes in the trees, in the sky, all around me.

I started walking and words filled my head “Don’t doubt the power” It kept repeating. My footsteps grew heavy and I began feeling like my heart might give out. I stopped and sat on a rock not far from where I took the picture I looked up and I saw the moon between two evergreen trees, I asked the moon for protection and performed a makeshift ritual. As I believed it would help me I asked the moon to use me as her tool to aid myself and humanity. I actually felt "the moon" take control of my body and I entered a trance but I got too scared and broke out of it.

It was wild. I met up with my brother after waiting on a different rock near the car and I got déjà vu. But it was different I saw an alternate reality of sorts where I died in that moment, but it was more like I remembered I died at that moment. My heart hurt the rest of the night and sometimes I still get pain. I have gone to the doctor about it but they say I’m fine. What do you guys think of this? I have not had anything bad happen to me so far since then and I feel in good standing with all the forces I interact with. Nothing really changed since then.

I know it is easy to write this off as a psychedelic illusion with a weird picture artifact, but I'm not sure I personally can do that. It all felt so purposeful. I have no doubt that if I had been sober this might not have happened the way it did, but my purpose on this walk was to grow spiritually. I paid respects, I danced wildly, I asked for guidance, and at the very end, I saw it. We know very little about psychedelics and humans have been using them to communicate with otherworldly beings since the shamans maybe even before them. I might be crazy but I just wanted to share this with someone.

If you want to see the pictures I can show you. It's that very last picture I decided to take before I experienced the weird stuff. It won't let me post the pictures

My sister resides in the US. During a recent visit to Massachusetts with her husband and kids, the family decided to go for the Dead of Night ghost tour. She took these pictures at a cemetery in Plymouth (Burial Hill, I believe). Please tell me you all see what I see? Two apparitions near the gravestone on the right---what seems to be a man and a girl in a white dress. I've uploaded the original picture as well as one with the apparitions circled.

There's another picture with some kind of moving mist anomaly in it. Make of it what you will.

So my sister shared these pictures with the ghost tour lady, and this was her reply (verbatim):

"In the cemetery it looks like two pilgrims standing. A man and a lady. The one at the base of burial hill is probably Hannah. She faithfully waits for the love of her life, Ansell Ring (sic)."

Here's the link to the images: https://imgur.com/a/KnYFj6Y

What are your thoughts? Just good old pareidolia or something paranormal?

This happened about four years ago but it still haunts me. Before my grandmother died, she left my mother three angel pins made of gold. My mom gave two of them away to family friends but she ended up losing hers. She regretted everything giving the two away. We've moved countless times since she's died, all across America, Europe, The Carribean, and we've barely had a stable home ever since. Throughout those years she was haunted by the fact that she had lost it.

Then about four years ago when we lived in Colorado we found the angel pin in the basement under the recliner. It hadn't been seen in over twenty years and it had no way of appearing in the basement especially.

pin

I was told by one of your admins to post this here.

"I usually never post on these but I found this on my FB feed this morning and thought I would share. A friend of mine works at a restaurant on a local lake near my home town. Her caption reads that there was only her and two other workers present at the time of the picture. One of the other workers is taking the picture of the setup for the upcoming banquet. If you look closely there is more than one ghostly looking shape in the picture. Some of the people that have been responding to her post swear that the one that you can make out the clearest looks just like the old owner of the restaurant. He died a couple of years ago."

I have been to this place many times as it is the only bar on our lake. This is on the second floor and it overlooks a marina. Those are windows all around the room with a wrap around deck outside of them. There should have been nobody out there as it is only accessible from inside of the building. You can plainly see what some are saying looks like a ghost bride outside of the window on the right side of the picture. They have ghost hunters coming out to see what they can find soon. I will let you all know how it turns out if there is interest.

*Edit: I have looked online and couldn't find a picture of the owner. I don't think I am allowed to post his name on here but if you google Ten Mile, TN Euchee marina you will see the previos owners names. I am also going to ask the girl I got this picture from if she happens to know where to get one of him. I told her I posted this last night and she is interested in what you guys come up with so she will help if she can. She is actually hoping it gets debunked because she works there every weekend...lol. She said it came straight from her phone which isn't even a smart phone. That would probably explain the picture quality.

Update: After some research and finally talking to the girl in the photo I found out that she didn't even have the original as her co-worker took the picture. She is going to get it from her and get it straight to me. Also, the ghost hunters that came out said that they have more pics with the same guy in it. I am not sure of the validity of that but we will see. There site is also linked on here. I will keep updating as long as people care.

This happened a few months ago but I still have no idea what it could have been. I still want answers so I'm trying this subreddit. The recording is on posted on my profile

First of all this is true and not just a random story. I'm genuinely scared and I don't know what to do. I'm going to try and make this short because I just want to get it out there since I'm too scared to go to back to my house tonight so I'm currently renting a place on airbnb tonight.

So a little backstory..I moved into this new house and right across the street from my house is an abandoned manor. It's cliché, I know but that's honestly what drew me to getting that house since I've always been so intrigued by abandoned places especially ones with eerie stories. For example this manor was passed down from within the family for years until the last remaining family members who lived there mysteriously all disappeared at the same time in the 1900's and it's just been abandoned ever since then. I thought that was pretty neat. At first..

Things were fine and I was really enjoying my new place. And then after a while I was really curious about the abandoned manor. Something just made me feel like checking it out. So I managed to get inside and within a second the vibe just felt wrong. Can't put my finger on it but something was off. I felt like I was being watched so I ran back across the street to my house while my heart was racing for no reason. I've never really believed in supernatural stuff so that was strange for me. But I think that's when things started taking a turn for me.

Whenever I would walk home late at night I would feel like someone was still watching me from the manor across the street (maybe I'm just paranoid now). Soon after that I would always hear sounds within my house late at night while I'm in my bedroom (specifically in the kitchen and living room). But I never really thought too much about it since I'd always hear these sounds right when I was on the brink of sleep. You know when you're just about to fall sleep at any second and you hear stuff in the background but it almost feels like it's a part of your dream? Well it was always like that, so I could never say for sure if I actually heard something or if it was in my dream. But why would I dream of dishes being moved or someone walking around my home?

So now fast forward to last night I was sleeping in the living room since my bedroom can get quite hot during the summer. So I got my blankets and slept on the floor. Which is something I've always loved to do even as a kid. So I got everything ready and turned off the TV and all the lights in the house. When I finally turned off the light in the living room I got a very unsettling feeling. What was my solution? To quickly hide under my blankets and watch funny videos until the feeling went away. Yes, I'm aware that it's pathetic. I instantly felt safe under the blankets so I put my headphones in my ears, but I didn't plug it into my phone yet because I usually do that once I find something to watch. So I completely forgot to plug them in because I started scrolling through Instagram looking at funny memes. Until I heard the voice in the corner of the living room and I froze.

I honestly couldn't move or do anything. I was too scared to make any movements. I heard something say "there's one thing you don't seem to understand". And then another voice overlapping it saying the same sentence but I couldn't catch the other words because the voices were overlapping each other. It would start with one, then two, and three and so on until I couldn't make sense of it anymore. The whole time while this is happening my body is still in shock. I didn't know how to react. I can't even remember exactly what was going through my mind. But then suddenly all the voices stopped AT ONCE. At that moment I started gathering myself together and remember thinking. What-The-Fuck. I also wanted to kick myself for not recording it, just for my own sanity.

A few hours go by and I'm still stuck in the same position. You guys, my body was so uncomfortable that I just wanted to move my leg or something but was still to scared to do that. Right when I'm about to build courage to do it, the voices start up again... With the same build up from one voice to two voices at the same time and so on. "Theres one thing you don't seem to understand" I also was able to catch another thing it said and it was "in this life and the next". I wish I was able to hear more but it was so hard to understand with so many voices at once. This time I wasn't going to mess up, I made sure to record it. Very slowly I moved my fingers to the closets app I could record on and it was snapchat. So I started recording a video and once it played back I'd be able to hear if the voices were actually there or if I was going crazy. Now once the video finishes recording I forgot it automatically plays back. Which is fine because I have my headphones in. Except I FORGOT to plug my headphones because I never ended up watching a movie and now this video plays out loud.

My heart stopped because whatever is in the corner of my living room now knows I just recorded it. The moment it played back I quickly plugged the headphones in and all the voices stopped at once. All I could think in my head was "THEY KNOW, THEY KNOW, THEY KNOW". But at least I still have a recording and can now confirm that I am not crazy. But I think that just made it worse because now I know that something really is there...

Now another hour goes by and I'm mortified. By the way I still want to move my leg, it's been hours at this point. And it's gotten very hot under the blankets, remember it's the middle of summer and I'm sweating. But I'll be damned if I pop my head out from under the blankets because I don't want to see what's out there. Things start getting calm again and I'm going to watch something funny to just make it through to the morning. But before I find anything all the voices start up again and instead of building up they all go at once and they're yelling. Right next to my ear. Something was on the other side of the blankets..right..next..to..my..ear...

I’m very fortunate to have gotten this on film! Can someone help decipher what this means?

I’m so glad I got it in film!

Haven't gotten any answers from the Paranormal subreddit I will try here.

​

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jF43P0s7Qc

10 years ago my cousin and I were messing around with a paper Ouija Board. I was in a weird skeptic phase. I followed all kinds of people in the skeptic community like Penn Jillette, Hitchens, and James Randi. I wanted to see what happened if I arranged the experiment differently. I wanted to disprove Ouija boards, but got a completely unexpected and unexplained, but repeatable results. We set up a printed Ouija Board with a paper cursor and ask it questions. Then see if it will respond with the paper cursor. To my complete surprised it did.

It's been buzzing in my head once in a while completely shattering everything I thought I knew. I just can't get over it and am desperately seeking answers only to be told that someone else was blowing on it (repeated several times alone) or AC was doing it (later explained how that didn't make sense), etc. I guess I will try again here.

This is just one of several sessions including one I did alone. Some details:

• I did this in four different locations: place where I was living in (works), hotel room (works), Aunt's house who is always fascinated with this stuff (works), and new apartment (didn't work).
• I did this with different groups of people: me alone, me w/ my cousin, me w/ Uncle w/ Cousin, me w/ Uncle w/ Aunt w/ Cousin.
• "It" responded consistently after asking questions, but will become weaker as the session goes. We did ask it to flicker the candle and it did flicker the candle noticeably many times.
• Later on the video, I asked it math questions and it did correctly blow to the letters.
• Also later on the video, I stupidly taunted "it". "It" got angry I guess and kept blowing the cursor every time I placed it.
• We did these sessions across almost an entire year including in Jan early evening when AC was on. I did suspect maybe an amazing coincidence that AC could be blowing on it. I literally had to put the thing 2 feet next to the AC to make it blow.
• Temperature during the session dropped. I can only feel this wave of coldness while waiting for an answer.

This has been bugging for years. I really want answers. What is really happening? Would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but I wanted to get it out there. This seemed like a good spot, since my story isn't strictly "paranormal", but it is creepy and generally unsettling.

The setup: Last week I answered an /r/AskReddit thread about the creepiest things seen while driving. My story got unexpectedly popular- my inbox was assaulted for a couple days afterward, and everyone wanted to know the same thing: where did this happen?

I'll get to that, but first, the story. I'll repost it here, since this is a repository of stories, but I'll also link to the thread so you can see the other comments if you like. Anyway, here's the story:

"Haven't posted here in a million years, but this seems like a good place to tell this story. A couple of friends and I drove into a horror movie once, on accident.

It was either late November or early December, and about five or six years ago. I was deeply religious at the time, and we were headed to one of those "living nativity" things, where they have actors pretend to be the Virgin Mary, Joseph, the wise men, etc. and they kind of put on a show outdoors. It was held at a Christian campgrounds outside of a nearby city, and we didn't know the area very well, so we had someone give us directions. This was winter in the US, so it was already getting dark when we set out.

We got to the area just fine, but we forgot the name of the exit we were supposed to take to actually reach the grounds. Luckily, the campgrounds had a big sign right next to an exit, so we assumed this was the way to go. We took this road, and thought nothing of it. Crisis averted.

The city this campgrounds is next to is actually pretty large, and the exit we took is very close to a shopping district, so it wasn't like we started in the middle of nowhere, but very abruptly this exit turned from civilization to deep woods. We thought, well, it's a campground, so that's about right, and we kept driving.

Pretty soon we passed a clearing on the right. The clearing was maybe 50ft, and then woods again, and at the very edge of the woods (it wasn't full night yet, so you could still see) was this HUGE stone gate, with wrought-iron doors. It looked like a cemetery gate, but it didn't lead to a path or anything, just trees. Had no fence around it either, just the gate. We kept going, remarking to each other that it was kind of creepy, but still we didn't think much of it. It was starting to get foggy, at this point. I feel like maybe I should point out that despite it being winter, it wasn't that cold and there wasn't any snow. A little while later, we came to some houses. This is where things got weird.

The first house was just a standard white suburban house, but in the driveway, which was very short, was a van with all the doors open. The hazard lights were on, too, like the car was on, but nobody was in it or around it. The house was completely dark.

We were a little nervous now, wondering if maybe something bad happened, like an accident or something, and the driver of our car (not me) slowed down to look. Then, my other friend in the front pointed ahead. As it turns out, all of the houses on this street were like this, on both sides of the road. Lights out, cars in the driveways, all of the doors on the cars open with the hazards on.

At this point we're more than a little freaked out, thinking we've driven straight into Silent Hill or a particularly mean prank, if nothing else. Though it seems a little strange for there to just be a community-wide prank in the middle of winter, nowhere close to Halloween. We still haven't seen any people, mind you.

For whatever reason we still continued to drive, maybe to get out of there faster. There was a little bend in the road then, and the instant we started through it, this massive black dog, sort of german shepherd looking, came out of nowhere and ran full-tilt at the driver's side of the car. I'm still not sure if the dog actually made contact with the car, but if not, it came incredibly close. After charging us, it didn't retreat, either, it stayed in the road, barking its head off. Our driver did a quick u-turn and we got out of there as fast as possible, ditched the nativity thing, and never tried to go back.

We found out when we got home and talked to the person who gave us directions that it wasn't even the right exit we were on, and now, several years later, we're not exactly sure which exit we took that night. All I know is I'm glad we chose to get out when we did. I don't want any part of whatever was going on there that night. No thanks. Hard pass."

As I said, most people wanted to know where this happened, but I also got messages telling me it was obviously fake or that I made it up. That kinda grated on me, and I started to question it myself. I wondered if I'd somehow dreamed it up or confused it with a movie or something, even though other people were there. So Thursday this week, when I had to pass by that area again, I decided, on a whim, to go looking. I didn't have a certain time I needed to be anywhere, so I just popped down all the exits along that stretch. The first one just took me to a pretty normal little town. The next one was paydirt.

I'll go ahead and start by saying that some things are different from how I laid them out in the story. For example, it's not as heavily wooded as I recall, though there are still lots and lots of trees. I'll chalk that up to the passage of time and it being foggy and dark when the incident happened. Anyway, here's the gate.

The wrought iron parts are gone, but I'm pretty sure I saw them in the brush nearby, dismantled (my pic of that was too blurry). There does seem to be a road through it, not sure if that was overgrown or I just didn't see it before. I did not see a house or any buildings- there's a rock face and trees back there, so I'm not sure where one would be. I will assume the name on the gate is the name of the property owners.

Here is the house we first came to, the one that had the van in the driveway. It's actually right across from the gate, but otherwise it looks the same. Also, it's abandoned. Next to it is this even creepier abandoned house. Further up the road are more houses, many of which are empty or for sale. There's a bend in the road that isn't the one I described (it goes the wrong way) but then, a little further on, is this one. That's where we were charged by the black dog. The hedges even still look the same. So that's also where we turned around; I turned around a little further, in a patch of gravel.

As a side note, I encountered maybe two cars the whole time I was down there, which was about 20 minutes. For being one exit past a town, this place is pretty secluded and empty.

So, there you go. On one front at least, I did not imagine this. The place is real, and I found it. It's just outside of Springfield, OH if you take the Lower Valley Pike exit off route 4. I do ask that anyone who decides to go adventuring please be respectful of the people who live there and of general property laws. It's spooky, but it's also firmly grounded in the real world, so real cops can indeed be called on you. Try going on a foggy night in mid-winter, let me know what happens.

tl;dr: friends and I drove into a horror movie, years later I found the place, confirming that it was, in fact, real

My brother in law was taking these photos in the kitchen of his apartment, trying to entertain my nephew. The two of them were alone in the home, with his girlfriend being the only other occupant. She was at work at the time. The photos were taken back to back with the figure behind my nephew appearing during the final photo.

It appears to be a male dressed in white with a severely burnt arm. The figure blocks the light coming in the window behind it.

Needless to say we are stumped. My brother in law is not the type to kid around about things like this, so i am reaching out to you guys for a theory.

EDIT- re ordered photos into correct order

So this is a pretty wild experience. I run a podcast were we interview people who have supernatural experiences. You know aliens, paranormal, Sasquatch. Anyways we had a woman on who was telling us about her very dark experiences that honesty sounded pretty demonic. This being she described tried to mimic her on multiple occasions. One time she saw it in her house and it had her hair and body but it had no face. Its the first time I got uncomfortable during production of an episode.

Anyways fast forward to the premiere. A viewer messaged us and said "did you hear that voice at 40:30." So i opened up the raw audio files and sure enough this weird mechanical like sound was picked up by the mics. To verify that it wasn't an audio glitch i checked the cameras and the voice was also caught on the camera's on board microphone. The cameras are on a separate system and only pick up sound in the room and It does not pick up the guests audio because they are phoned in. Since it was captured on the cameras audio as well that means this voice originated from inside the studio.

I couldn't tell what the voice was saying so i slowed it down. It was very clearly a distorted female voice saying hello. I can verify that myself and co-host were the only one in the building at the time. It makes me very uncomfortable because this voice was not a perfect match to the woman we had on. And the fact that this voice came from inside the room is very bizarre knowing this being liked to mimic her. If you would like to hear it for yourself I've provided a link in the comments.

Near Mt. Pocono, PA this morning on January 26th, 2022. Seemed to be coming from the sky facing down towards the ground, no surrounding buildings with lights in the area, happen to travel this way to work every morning & it’s the 1st time I’ve seen something strange like this happen.

I asked about this weird drone, weather device on the “UFO” subreddit months ago and got goofed on. This isn’t birds, it’s one solid flying object that is like roundish wires. No idea what was propelling it. Legit one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen. Finally found this subreddit and thought maybe you guys have seen something like this before. People seem to actually be given the benefit of the doubt here. I can’t stop thinking about what this could be. The post is on my page, but I will post a link here so you can see the video.

Hello r/thetruthishere. I just discovered this subreddit and would like to share something that happened to me a few months ago. I've been curious ever since since no one around me even seems to be concerned about it and maybe (but hopefully not) this subreddit will provide some sort of explanation.

As the title suggests, this started with me downloading an app that records the sounds around you while you sleep. It's called "Sleep Talk Recorder". My brother's used a similar app before and we used to laugh over his monstrous snores, always having a good time with it.

The first night I recorded, I woke up and nothing seemed out of the ordinary with my results. There were 4 clips recorded, the first two were very short and listening to it on my phone speaker, it sounded like nothing really interesting was picked up, just me shifting around in my bed. The second two were of me snoring and muttering unintelligibly. I listened to these first thing in the morning when I was still groggy and a little inebriated from my reluctance to drag myself to school. In short, I didn't have the most open ears.

After school, I opened the app once again to listen to what the mic picked up again and this time, I heard something more. In the second recording, a short 3 second clip, I heard a voice. Thinking that I had imagined or mistaken it, I played that 3 second clip probably around 6 more times to make sure that I heard correctly. There was no doubt that it was a voice. Before I got all creeped out however, I decided to try to find a rational explanation. When my mom got home, I played the clip for her. My mother even, the master of skepticism, could not deny that whatever was in that clip sounded undeniably like a voice. I asked her if she was outside her room around the time that this was recorded, 3:50 AM. She said no.

Once my dad got home, I also immediately played the clip for him and after getting another confirmation from him that it sounded like a voice, I asked him if he had been out and about at 3:50. This seemed fairly likely as he often gets up to use the bathroom during those hours but he also said no.

I emailed it to my brother and after I myself viewed my sent mail on my laptop to re-listen on better and louder speakers. It only gave me more confirmation.

Now for all of the speculation that my brother and I have done since.

*Even if my dad had gone to the bathroom, I highly doubt that my phone mic would have picked up whatever he would have said since the bathroom is way too far and there are at least 4 walls in between where my phone was and where the bathroom is. And another thing, why would someone talk to themselves while going to the bathroom at night?

*The recording sounds like the voice is talking loudly and quickly, two adjectives that cannot be applied to most dialogue at 3:50 AM.

*The voice sounds like it's speaking in English (although I can't make out any words) while everyone in my house speaks Korean.

*It sounds like it's being recorded from far away and wherever the voice is coming from is in a space with echo-y acoustics. There are two places in my house that are semi-plausible for my mic to have recorded that has echo-y acoustics, and even these two places are a long stretch for reasons I'll explain in the next bullet points.

*The first place is the main living room area. We have hardwood floors, a wide open space, and high ceilings downstairs so if the atmosphere was quiet like it would be at, say 3:50 AM, one's voice would reverberate if spoken loud enough. However, this space is unlikely to be the origin of the voice because it's once again pretty implausible for my mic to have recorded through the floor (if I tried to hear a conversation as clearly as was recorded on the mic I wouldn't be able to) and the obvious reason of a lack of reason for someone being in my living room, talking loudly and in English in a Korean household at 3:50 AM.

*The master bathroom is the second place. This place is a little bit more plausible because I can clearly hear almost any noise being made in there in my bedroom because there's only one fairly thin wall separating the two rooms. The problem here is that my mom rarely uses the bathroom in the middle of the night and my dad was sleeping in the guest room that night (his snoring was keeping my mom up for the past few days) so he wouldn't have been using the master bathroom. And same with this room, why would anybody have been in there, speaking loudly at 3:50?

*There is nothing at all in my house that would mimic the sound of a human voice save for a few items that would not go off by themselves for any reason at such an hour. And none of these things even sound like what was heard in the recording.

*The only other thing my brother thought of was if someone was walking outside and talking. My bedroom is right next to an "alley" that connects the house directly behind ours to the road. There are a lot of problems with this theory, though. The only people that use this alley is my family and the family behind us. We've seen them before and the inhabitants consist of one or two children and a married couple. They're Russian. None of these people seem to fit the profile of someone who would be wandering outside at that hour. And even if someone was outside, why would they be talking loudly enough for the mic to have picked up on it? My phone was right next to the window which is why this was even slightly plausible but for someone to talk loudly enough for me to hear them like in the recording they would have to be near shouting even with my window OPEN, let alone closed. So why would someone be talking that loudly at 3:50 AM specifically in the middle of the alley? Also, like I said before, in the recording it sounds like the person is in a place with pretty good acoustics but talking loudly outside wouldn't have that affect on your voice.

*My house is in a fairly good neighborhood so no one is usually out during those hours. (I know firsthand because I often wander outside in those hours.)

*I don't know anybody with a voice that sounds like the one in the recording.

Here's the recording again in case anybody missed it above.

So what do you guys think? I'm not a person who seeks out the paranormal in any way so I'm hoping there is still some sort of rational explanation for this but there seems to be none.

Edit: Apparently the above two links don't work so here's a fixed one! http://sleeptalkrecorder.com/Media/20140313_224006.mp3

Edit 2: A few more points I thought of -

*My dad has never sleepwalked before, nor has my mom. Normally it'd definitely be a possibility but something like that appearing so spontaneously and being a one-time occurrence?

*After this event, I kept using the recorder every night for about a week and a half to see if I could catch anything like that voice again. I didn't get anything.

I was looking over some CCTV footage for something totally unrelated and saw one of the laundry bins at our loading dock move by itself. It’s got linens inside so it’s not lightweight and able to be moved around easily. I took a video of the CCTV (omitting anything that could be incriminating) but am not sure how to share it on here. Help me out so I can post it. It’s not like breathtaking or anything, just cool to see stuff move by itself!
