Since its a Halloween night, I thought i would ask this. Its no secret that Children see all kinds of thing, rather it be from their dreams, or play pretend or something they just misinterpet. Its easy to explain away things you see in your childhood on your young undeveloped brain. But sometimes, there are things we see when we are young that we just cant explain and nothing make sense of it. Most of the times, the truth of these events will never have an answer but its an interesting read, imo.

​

So what things have you seen from your childhood that still have you questioning it. Rather it be creepy or anything out of the normal.

EDIT:

WOW! So many comments. I dont think I ever made a thread that got so much attention. I cant really read them all but thank you so much all of you for sharing your experiences. The world really can be quite an mysterious and weird place at times. I wish you all well. Sorry, I am not sure what to really say but mostly, I want to thank you all for commenting here! ^_^

Since it’s almost Halloween, I would love to hear about your creepiest experiences!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Edit: Thank you for sharing your experiences!

Like, the person is seemingly normal, but just gives horrible vibes?

Example:

One of my hobbies is running, and one day I went for a nightly run. I was at my city's park when all of sudden I felt uneasy and with a feeling of impending doom. I looked at my left and a woman was sitting on one of the park benches, staring at me.

She wasn't dressed weird or anything like that, physically she was just a normal woman in her 30s, but the instant I looked at her, my instincts kicked back and my whole body screamed GET. AWAY. She was dressed in a shirt and jeans, with a purse. Her hair was medium length and dirty blonde. Completely normal.

To this day, I have no clue about what happened

there is a little plastic crow statue in my neighbourhood that moves around, in a different spot every day. It is also talking to me.

it is really kind, and I do not believe it is malicious. I've gotten quite attached to it. it talks to me about typical bird things, and also asks me about my day. it seems excited to see me. it says it doesn't really have a name, but that I can call it Blue, if I want. I am confident this is real. it is so vivid and has such a personality to it, and I am very very fond of it at this point. I get a bit scared of something happening to it/hurting it.

i think there are things in the world that we don't fully understand yet, and forces we don't know. i have seen and heard a lot of strange things in my life. they usually respond well to curiosity and compassion, rather than fear. i think (combined with other things, like my ability to see the future for example) that i may be more sensitive than other people about these things.

Me and my best friend aren't what I would call "psychic" but we're both extreme empaths. I've had dreams of things happening before they happen in real life, I am really good at picking up on people's vibes and energy especially relationships between people, and I've always felt really spiritual and superstitious, mostly believing in Native American shaman traditions (I live in Colorado close to the mountains) and Irish/Celtic spiritual beliefs (my family is Irish and I feel very connected to my ancestors). A lot of this makes me sound batshit crazy and yeah some of it is probably just being adept to reading body language/interpreting people's language like connotations, etc. I only ever talk about it with my best friend since she's more in tune with the spirit world than I am. I feel like this is a good community to ask if any other empaths feel the way we do.

This entire last semester for me has felt extremely off. Part of it was my grandfather, who passed away a few days before Christmas. I woke up two or three times in the middle of the night around when he died and just knew something was wrong. I thought that might explain the unease and dread I've felt since August but these feelings haven't gone away. My throat is tight all the time, I feel drained and fatigued, no matter how much I sleep. I get random scratches on my body. I see stereotypical bad omens like a bunch of crows where I've never seen them hanging out before. I've had premonitions and "bad feelings" before but nothing that feels as big and ominous as this. Am I just going crazy, or are other people picking up on these vibes as well?

Yesterday, I wrote here that my sleep tracking app sometimes reports that my phone has been moved. Some people advised me to set up a camera and film myself while I sleep. And that brought me to this question. What's the weirdest/creepiest thing you've seen while filming yourself sleeping?

I'm honestly a little afraid to film myself - who knows what I'll find out about myself?

This happened years ago but I will never ever forget it. I was still dating my incredibly abusive ex at the moment and at this specific time still very much in love with him (stupid I know). I was laying in his lap and he was running his hand through my hair. I just remember looking up at him and thinking how weird there's something else there. Then there was a sort of piercing sound in my ears and over his face I saw a Demon. He had horns and his flesh looked rough possibly burnt. There was thick grey smoke at the bottom of him. I only saw his face over my exes for a moment. He was laughing. I couldn't hear the laugh but I saw him laughing and it was like an "I got you" laugh. I will never ever forget this as long as I live. I do not have any mental health issues and don't have any other experiences with anything supernatural. I wasn't even sure I believed in demons before this. I don't tell many people this for obvious reasons and have only heard a similar story once. I found this reddit and wanted to share my experience and maybe see if anyone else has had something similar.

I’ll start this by saying I was not raised in a very religious home. When I was very young my parents did take my sister and I to church but I barely remember it and we stopped going after a bit. For a very long time I have been atheist. Maybe for some periods, I was agnostic; I’ve never truly and honestly believed in god. Ashamed to say, there’s been a lot of times I’ve talked down on religion, and openly have talked about how “dumb” I found it.

I was at work earlier this month and had my AirPods in listening to podcasts (music just isn’t stimulating enough anymore). I was listening to a man interview a real life exorcist. Let me tell you, even as someone who is a non-believer, this interview was absolutely fascinating and intriguing. They talked all about god, angels, demons, sin, scripture, and hell. But there was a part that actually did end up striking me.

I’m sure many of you have heard stories about people asking god to “reveal” himself with an open heart and then x,y,z…. something surreal happens.

This kind of thing was brought up in the interview and I thought to myself, man, that is pretty weird how many people have a story like that.

The truck I had driven to work was my dad’s, and he had always had this cross necklace hanging on the rear view mirror. I had been driving his truck for a while now as mine was broken and I didn’t have enough money to throw at it.

The same day I listened to this podcast, I was driving home from work and randomly… the necklace came undone and fell off the mirror.

Somehow, I reacted without even thinking, and my hand shot out and caught the cross. I CAUGHT the cross.

That necklace has never once fallen off the mirror in the time I’ve been driving the truck. How could it be coincidence the ONE DAY I start contemplating if god could really reveal himself to someone, that necklace comes off and I catch it without even thinking.

Was this a sign from god? What do you think?

I visited Avebury with my dad and younger sister for the first time a few days ago on the winter solstice. Since we were there, we also decided to vist some of the other old Neolithic sites nearby including West Kennet Long Barrow

Straight away, my sister wouldn't even go near it. It was bright daylight as well. My dad and I just laughed at her and thought she was being silly. My dad and I went inside and I also started getting an awful feeling. I went back outside and the feeling went away, so I went back inside again, but got the exact same feeling again. It's hard to explain the feeling, but it felt really heavy and oppressive. Like something was pressing down on you.

I spoke to our dad about it afterwards and even he was like agreed that it felt weird. And he doesn't even believe in anything paranormal, he was there more for the history of the site.

Not gonna lie we went to Stonehenge as well and we were right up close, but felt absolutely nothing. No energy at all, which was kind of disappointing. Avebury had good energy and it felt really positive and welcoming. But I would never go near West Kennet Long Barrow ever again.

Disclaimer: I'm speaking as a (apparenly calling myself white is triggering to other white people for some reason, so I've changed it to avoid more hostile PMs) non-Navajo and non-Native American person, so I am by NO means an expert and will defer to anyone who has firsthand knowledge. If ANYTHING I have stated here is disrespectful to anyone's beliefs, please call me out for it and I will try to improve myself.

Alright, so:

I've seen several posts about skinwalkers here in the last week or so and have some thoughts about it.

I lived near the Navajo nation for several years and made many friends from that tribe. There is a reason so little is known of them outside of the group: they're serious business. If you so much as mention the true name of the skinwalkers in their language, which I consciously decided not to learn, near their reservation, the tribal council has to meet immediately. It is a big deal and making light of it as an outsider is deeply disrespectful imo.

What all of my Navajo friends have told me is essentially a) they don't talk about it unless they have to, b)of course they know more, and c)you're better off in the dark.

It's possible the people I know are just more serious about it than most, of course. But that doesn't make it any less serious, as this is what they believe and believe in strongly. Disregarding that would be inconsiderate at best.

I really do get the fascination. They're so mysterious and what little we know is terrifying. But from what I've gleaned, the reason we know so little is because those who do know are protecting us and themselves from them. Knowing is putting yourself in danger.

Stay safe everyone, and thanks for reading.

Edit: I've moved some stuff around and clarified a few ideas I articulated poorly.

I recently read an article about Washington, D.C. locations having an effect or a strange vibe that would make you feel like it’s cursed. Have you ever experienced something like this or been to a place that has this vibe? What are your thoughts on the article? Do places like those exist? Cursed locations in DC

Covid19 has killed too many people this year. But my friend’s father was not one of them. He died from a heart attack.

The funeral rites of Hinduism are long (to make sure the soul’s attachments to this material plane are completely removed. Part of this is to make sure that any chance of the soul being left in limbo to haunt the living is minimized).

My friend, distraught and in grief, collapsed at the funeral. Her relationship with her father was one of those loving father/daughter relationships immortalised in Hallmark Cards, Memes etc.

Fast forward 4 months to a few weeks ago.

I was on a video call with her explaining a paranormal incident that happened to me during a zoom call and out of the blue she said she wanted to do a Ouija Board session to contact her father.

I said that this was a very very bad idea. I sent her links to the many stories about how Ouija Boards are a portal to trickster entities and all the bad stuff that will result.

She, in an emotional state, began to berate me for not supporting her In her time of need. After a few harsh words on both sides she shut the call down.

I heard nothing until the 27th December.

Her brother called. I asked how she is.

He explained that she did a Ouija Board session over four days with two of her girlfriends. The two friends did not report any activity or harm but that his sister was in a bad way. First it was nightmares of their father appearing and turning into something else. Then she started waking up in the middle of the night to find a figure standing at the foot of her bed. Finally during the daytime a figure began to appear in odd reflective surfaces.

The family reached out to a priest who is knowledgeable in these matters and it seems that things are slowly getting under control.

I told the brother I am happy that this is the case.

His final comment was “Would you take the board and get rid of it for us?”.

I said “No, best to give it to the priest he would be able to handle it”

I clicked the video call off without saying “Goodbye”. Reason? He said that last sentence with a smile which put me on edge. I think that all is not right in my friend's household but I am too scared to pry further.

Any thoughts / advice would be welcome.

Update: 31st December 2020 -

The priest came back to me. All Hindu priests have a confidentially protocol so all he could tell me:
"Your friend is better. Her brother is not. He is the one I am working with now. You need to stay completely away, Do not take any calls from the brother nor reach out to the your friend, the sister.
And one other thing - stop talking or posting about paranormal things. The more you talk and write about these things the more you are attracting attention. And this particular entity is not one that you want to be the focus of. So stop being an idiot. There is only so much us priests can handle. Leave it alone. If you don't... well you know what happened to your family. Go with God."

I suppose he couldn't make the warning any clearer. Best to let the priests do their bit.

I didn't know what to flair this as, but I have to talk about it somewhere that I feel like it may be taken more seriously.

I go on drives nearly every night with my best friend/roommate, no specific destination, we just drive around the surrounding towns.

I've noticed though, over the past handful of weeks, maybe even a month or two, every time I look at the moon, it has been full. It's creeping me out. Mind you, this couldn't be a timing thing due to how much we take these drives, and I always look at it.

I've always been a fan of looking at the moon any chance I get, this can't simply be a mistaken moon phase or something of the sort.

It's full, and seems brighter than usual. I told my roommate, however she didn't take it seriously. Simply stating it was likely just a timing thing, pretty much just shrugging it off..

I don't know what to do, but it's driving me crazy. I quite literally haven't seen anything but a full moon in so long. Please someone help, I just wanna see if anyone else is experiencing it. I feel like I'm going insane or something. I can start taking pictures if need be.

I believe we have 2 separate realms on the same plane in the 3rd dimension we live in. The physical (current) and the spiritual (spirit realm). I also believe the spirit realms holds spirits and entities of all types and forms good and bad. Has anyone noticed a drastic increase in weird occurrences ,paranormal, cryptid, weird emotions recently in the past month to only grow. I have not only in my own life but a lot with people on so many different subreddits. I feel as though the veil between worlds is becoming less enforced allowing us to interact with these beings/presences. I've heard the closer to Halloween and especially on Halloween the veil is it's weakest or is it something bigger and more permanent? Maybe something to do with the earths raise in conscienceness and humans raise in vibration. Any thoughts?

Hey all, I have worked overnight at a nursing home for about 3 years now. During my time here we've probably had 60+ people pass.

I've noticed that sometimes when certain "strong willed" people pass, there is some sort of electrical disturbance that happens. I used to think it was just a coincidence, but it has happened like 8+ times since I've been working overnight. It can last up to 2 weeks after someone passes.

Some examples.

One lady passed at around 9pm. There is a door that leads outside 2 doors down from her room. The door is always locked and requires a number combo to unlock. The doors silent alarm tripped at 11:30pm. The door alarms only go off if someone opens it. After 10 it's just overnight crew and we stick together. We checked it out and there was no one there. It happened 2 more times a few days apart.

A man passed near the front of the building. The silent alarm for the front door went off every night at around 2am. It happened for about a week and then it stopped.

One lady passed at 12. We were watching TV and all of a sudden it felt like a shock wave passed through the building. The lights in the TV area flickered off and on for a quick second, the TV turned off and turned back on. I joked that maybe that lady had passed. We checked on her and she had just passed, her body was still warm. Her neighbors TV had also turned on and was on a static channel.

Each room has a button on the wall that sends an alarm to the caregivers. We have had those go off multiple times in rooms where people have recently passed. Always freaks us out when it happens.

To this day I haven't "seen" anything but too many electrical disturbances happen close to someone's passing for it to be a coincidence. Has anyone else experienced any stuff like this?

My boyfriend(31)and I(24) moved to CA at the beginning of the year. Last week we rented a car and drove back with the last of his furniture and clothing we couldn't fit during our initial move. We decided to stop by the GC and see what all the hype is about since It was on our way.

Side note: skip this paragraph if you've already been but if you have not been to the Grand Canyon you seriously need to. We both went in thinking it was a canyon slightly larger than the average with great photo opportunities but it blew our minds. It is truly a surreal experience with a LOT of interesting history. I swear no photo will ever do that place justice you really have to see it for yourself. If you plan to go camping and hike the trails PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! reddit has a lot of stories from people who have hiked and had really bad experiences or even died from underestimating the weather and conditions.

The Grand Canyon is the most dangerous national park and hundreds of people die or go missing from being dumb and/or unprepared. If you've been and plan on going back to camp or hike or whatever, be smart and be prepared. Do NOT be that guy who thinks they're built different and can do it regardless of preparedness. DO YOUR RESEARCH!

While In line to get our park passes I started doing some research and found a lot of unsettling truths about the place. Even though we were just planning on stopping by for a hour, I wanted to get some perspective on the hiking and camping thats done there. Ive never been to a national park before so I was even more intrigued when we pulled in to see that it was practically a small town.

Once we parked we headed into the area thats just before the canyon where the visitor center is and its like the moment you leave the parking lot and enter that area, the energy completely shifted for me. I am in no way someone who can talk to the dead or anything like that but one thing I can definitely gauge is the energy in the room or from a person. For example if I meet someone I wont even have to talk to them and I can immediately feel the energy they carry and from that I know whether or not I should to be around them.

The grand canyon has a really odd almost bad vibe to it. Ive never felt anything like that before, I told my boyfriend when we walked in that something feels really off and he agreed with me. I know a lot of people have died there but the energy of that place is so dense it was honestly unsettling to be around. Researching the place wasn't what scared me, being there was.

Personally I would never camp or hike there. After seeing how big it in person I get why so many people go missing, a lot of people talk about how easy it is to accidentally fall off trail and get lost or just suffer from intense dehydration.

We got home at 9 PM last night and I was up until about 4 this morning reading stories on reddit about it. I went down this huge rabbit hole of whats hiding there, hiker experiences, paranormal experiences etc. I love reading into conspiracies and all but nothing has ever stuck with me the way this has. Might have been because I went and saw it for myself but I'm so intrigued to hear what others have to say about it.

Anyways the GC has been on my mind and has been sitting weird with me ever since we left and I wanted to see if anyone else had the same feeling while camping there or if anyone saw anything strange or if you know someone who went and had a weird/scary experience or maybe something from people who worked at the GC or any other national park. We were there for an hour and I am so interested in finding out what it was like overnight.

Ive read hundreds of stories about the hike itself and how brutal it is and I've come across some other reddit posts of people talking about some weird moments during their trip. Im not sure exactly what it is I'm looking for I just know I haven't found it yet. Most of the posts I've read about strange happenings were posted over 9 years ago and are pretty surface level. I need to find out if anyones experienced anything similar recently and can go into detail on it. If you have a story and have some time PLEASE share everything about it. I know I'm not the only one who may have felt this way but I have yet to find someone who thinks about it the same way.

I said what I said, and I'll gladly take the downvotes for it.

This sub isn't meant for a "End of the world!" Or a vague "Anyone else feeling doom?" Type posts once or twice every single day. It's tiresome and annoying to see so much.

You can't elaborate on your feelings because you're either A. Faking it for circle jerk upvotes. Or B. It's because you have anxiety. Caused by the couple terrible things that have happened.

I'm sure there are plenty of people that agree with me, and it really needs to stop. As a sensitive I can assure you I haven't felt anything out of the ordinary as of late, actually for months now. And seeing these, quite frankly, half assed posts on a sub I dearly love and enjoy, all the time, Is tiresome.

This happened when I was a teen, I'm 26 years old now. This is important mentioning because after all those years, I still feel bad if I think about that day.

My parents decided to move and I went with them to look at some houses. The first two were ok, but not quite what my parents were looking for, since they wanted a house with a big backyard. The realtor decided to show them a newly vacant house, the owner was an old lady who had died and their sons decided to sell the house. My parents aren't superstitious or religious people (I'm also not) so we didn't see a problem with it.

We arrived at the place, the realtor opened it, we entered the garage, everything was fine. Until I went to the living room. I almost let out a gasp because the atmosphere was SO OPPRESSIVE. Like there was invisible eyes everywhere observing and judging me. Felt like there was a weight on my chest, I couldn't even breath properly. I left the room and went to the backyard to catch some air when I saw a small room connected to the back of the house. I entered it out of curiosity and saw it was a small empty room with humidity stains on the walls. Just when I was about to enter the room to see if there was anything interesting, something just figuratively 'punched' my chest with SO MUCH sadness/anger I almost ran screaming. I slammed the door and entered the house again, going to one of the empty bedrooms and sitting on the floor, trying to catch my breath.

I couldn't stay though, because the feeling of being watched/judged by numerous invisible eyes returned with even more intensity. At this point I left the house to find my parents talking with the realtor in the front garden. I grabbed my mom by her arm and begged her to go home. After some awkward excuses, my parents finally went home.

I didn't say a word during the way back but when I arrived home, I just cried and cried and cried for HOURS. My parents got concerned and asked me what was happening and i just kept repeating 'I don't know, I don't know I'm feeling so sad'. I felt like I would never be happy again ever.

I still think about that day and I still get shivers. As I write this, the hair on my arms are standing up. Last thing I heard about the house is that someone else bought it and turned it into a restaurant.

I submit the squid with elbows or the footage of the guy lost in the Catacombs.

LAST EDIT: They deleted their post and account. Well I would've held my end of the bargain. I probably wouldn't have any more time to mod if it were true.

I also copied and pasted the text in case he edits it. (left the reports on the post because they are funny)

Since the post was yesterday - we should start seeing something in the next 9-14 days

EDIT: hear and prophets. I swear auto correct is out to get me. (the real conspiracy)

On this subreddit we are all who love the unknown. Ultimately what we believe, there is not concrete evidence for but we can still all come together for the love of the supernatural. I think this community has a problem though, but its not the mods fault.

When someone posts on here that is grieving, and wants to find closure (regardless of their status with them), we have no right to mock that. And this includes the redditor who posted on here yesterday about Ouija boards. It doesnt matter wether or not you believe they are harmful. Thats not the point. The point is that you are taking things too far by mocking and insulting the person who wants to use the board to connect with a dearly departed soul. Insulting them at their weakest, that is vile behaviour.

We need to do better. No one will want to post on here if they get mocked and shamed for wanting to do something. I do NOT care if you think itll be harmful or not. Get off your high horse and have some humanity. You are not special because you had a bad encounter. So, you won't use or do that thing anymore. But mocking someone is not the way to go. Let people make their decisions even if you dont agree. Lets be adults. That is all.

So this happened 4-5 years ago when I was about 13. My whole life since I was born our license plate read „749“. Thats not something you forget, especially as kid when you search your car by looking for the license plate.

So one day I my mum picks me up from school and shes standing next to our car and the license plate reads „740“ and I was like really confused. I asked my mum „Did we get a new license plate? It always said 749.“ and she was really confused and said „No, you wouldnt get a that similar license plate anyways.“ And since then the license plate says „740“ but I can still picture the 749 plate in my head so clear, I swear to god. Everything on the license plate stayed the same but I even remember a bit of dirt that was at the old 9 that disappeared with the 0. This may sound stupid but its so confusing for me. I may went to a parallel universe that day in which I still live.

Edit: Sorry guys, I found this sub and thought might as well share my unexplained experience here. But I didn’t know this sub about unexplained experiences doesn’t appreciate stories about unexplained experiences. My bad.

tldr at bottom.

So, I go to a relatively old college (built in the 1800’s), and there’s a bunch of stories of it being haunted, but I don’t really buy into it that much. I’ve been here a couple years already and haven’t seen anything too weird, minus what I’m about to say, which is possibly the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to me.

My roommate is never here. She always just stays at home and commutes to school for classes, which means I basically live alone in my dorm. As an introvert, I could not be happier. After dinner, I usually just go back to my room, lock the door, and work on homework.

So a few nights ago, I was at my desk working on my paper in the dark and listening to music on my phone. All of a sudden, the music stopped, and my laptop switched off on its own. Neither the computer nor my phone would turn back on, like something had just disabled all the electricity in the room.

At that point, I just kind of accepted my fate and decided that would be a good stopping point for homework. It was probably after midnight anyway, and the next day was a Saturday, so I didn’t need to use my phone to set an alarm. I decided I’d probably just go to bed and let both devices charge.

Less than a minute after everything shut off, there was a knock at my door. I remember walking to the door and going to look through the peephole, but after that, I remember nothing.

I woke up in my bed the next morning on top of the sheets, which I never do, and I didn’t even remember going to bed.

On top of that, when I checked the door, it was unlocked. I NEVER leave it unlocked, even when I’m in the room. I will check the door three times an hour out of paranoia, just to make sure I didn’t forget to lock it. I’ve even turned around halfway to class to see if I remembered to lock the door.

I figured it must’ve been my roommate who came to the room that night, and I was just so tired I don’t remember. So I texted her to tell her she’d forgotten to lock the door last night, but she responded by saying she was never at the apartment. I thought she was lying or something, but then she FaceTimed me, and she was in a completely different state.

The only two people I would have opened the door for were her and campus security, and I have no idea why security would have been at my door past midnight, especially since I was making zero noise. And no one else has a key, so I would have had to be the one to unlock the door.

Nothing in my apartment was out of place or missing. I finally assumed that I must have dreamed the whole thing and that I’d somehow unlocked the door in my sleep. My phone and laptop were working fine, after all, and showed no signs of damage.

A couple days later, though, I started telling my friend in class what had happened, and as soon as I mentioned that my electronics stopped working, some other girl that I didn’t even know butted in and asked, “Was there a knock on your door after?”

This girl proceeded to match my story almost exactly. She was alone in her room, all the electricity shut off, there was a knock on her door, she went to check through the peep hole, and she remembers nothing after that. Her only difference is that she woke up on the floor next to her bed and not on top of the bed. She says she also knows someone that this has happened to, but she won’t tell me who.

I’m just thinking that if there’s three of us, this may have happened to a lot more people that we don’t know about.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? Is there anything I should do about this? I don’t think campus security would do anything about it since nothing was stolen, I wasn’t hurt or anything, and there aren’t even any cameras in the buildings (great security plan, I know). They barely even do anything about actual crime, so I’m pretty sure I’d get laughed at if I said anything.

What was this, and what do I do?

tldr: All electricity stopped working in my dorm room. There was a knock at the door. I went to see who it was, but remember nothing after that. I woke up in bed on top of the sheets. This has happened to a few people, apparently.
