1.A previous owner had died in one of my childhood homes.
I was just a kid, so I dont remember the exact details.
Her friend lived in a typical SF apartment, often coming home late from work.
Meg
The washing noise went on for hours.
She thought it was annoying, but completely normal.
Upstairs neighbor probably couldnt sleep and decided to move some furniture and deep clean the bathroom.
Next day morning she saw her neighbor going downstairs with large black trash bags.
Again she told herself its weird but normal, since her neighbor has been up late cleaning.
The roommate was caught, and the police discovered large trash bags of body parts.
The incident happened that night when she heard the strange noises.
3.So my moms car kept breaking down and weird marks were appearing all around my house.
One night my mom smelt electrical cords burning but we couldnt figure it out.
First night, nothing, but our cats disappeared then the second night.
The police saw a figure but didnt act because it didnt do anything.
We were pretty good friends one summer.
Among the younger kids, there were rumors that the dad was a monster or a zombie or something.
For one, he smelled fucking awful and had the rankest carrion-breath.
Also, he would stare at the kids a lot.
So he could be alone with his new victim, who was I think five years old.
Saved the kid from a terrible fate.
Ended up going back to the family hed been taken from 7 years before.
It was in the news a lot, and a TV movie was made, etc.
So, the creepy, smelly old weirdo really WAS a fucking monster.
He died in prison, and that was a good day.
5.This did not happen to me, but it happened in my city when I was in high school.
This went on for several months.
They even reached out to their pastor to bless the house.
Well, the house wasnt haunted.
It turned out that a drifter had wandered in at some point and had been living in their attic.
One day, one of the family members came home unexpectedly and caught them.
Called police for an active break in.
The cops quickly discovered what had been going on.
She just blankly stared down at me and my sister.
Id get so scared yelling Mom!
and she never responded.
I knew it was not my mom.
When I was older I told my aunt about it and she told me they werent dreams.
My mom would go into our rooms randomly to check on us.
She had serious mental health issues that got worse over the years.
Occasionally she would have episodes of anxiety of something happening to us and guard us at night.
Due to the traumatic death of her 1st child it apparently triggered obsessive anxiety when we were younger.
I still tend to associate the nightmare mom as not being my mom.
7.My friend lived up in these pitch black windy hills about 20 minutes from any ambient city lights.
No traffic stoplights, street lights nothing.
One night when driving up to visit him I reached a stop sign.
I get to my friends house convinced I had seen a ghost and was freaking out about it.
Late at night, when scanning the horizon, you could see the all of the stars.
It wasnt like the city.
But you could also see a radio tower, perhaps a few miles away.
It was in the middle of a large field with one entrance which happened to be open.
We entered from there and drove about 1/4 mile in towards the radio tower.
When we got there, we noticed, underneath the radio tower, a rusty beat up car.
The thing looked like it hadnt been driven in years.
Then one of my friends pointed towards the beat up car.
Does it look like theres a light in there?
We pretty quickly put our car in drive and started moving out of there.
It was a field though so of course we moved relatively slow.
It didnt put on its headlights, but the light inside the car seemed to glow brighter.
That was the moment that my friend driving screamed, Fuck it!
and hightailed it faster than Id ever seen.
Did we really believe in ghosts?
Probably not, but paranormal is better than whatever else it could have been.
Had we stuck around any longer that night than we did, we could have legitimately been killed.
Luckily were all good and nothing bad ever came of it for any of us.
Never happened when he was home or when I was awake.
I was convinced the place was haunted and whatever spirit it was had it out for me.
10.One night when our parents were out, I was sleeping, I heard a music box.
It was pretty scary, me and my sister were cuddled up in my room.
We found an old music box in the garbage bin, but, it looked very old.
For the next few nights, it kept playing.
12.Ooh I got one.
So I live in this odd place its a big mixed use commercial building my husband and I own.
We all.joked uneasily about ghosts and shit, but we felt… watched… and it was creepy.
It culminated one night, at midnight.
And then started ramming it over and over trying to get in.
I dont know if youve ever heard a body have a go at smash a door down.
There was a pause and an ungodly smash.
I ran out and found: my husband midway through falling off a car hood.
A dude running towards us from downtown freaking the fuck out.
And giant pile of glass and a smashed door.
What had happened was, some meth head had discovered our side entrance we shared with the commercial tenant.
But he had gotten locked in that Friday on accident and it was about 100 F that weekend.
So, he took a header out the glass commercial doors to escape.
13.My dad lives like next door to the entrance to the highway.
His neighbor kept complaining that she had raccoons because she kept hearing noise coming from under her back porch.
It was the 3 hobos that stood near the highway asking for money.
They would wait until they would see her lights go off and then make their way over.
14.I was seven and was hanging out with my friends.
We kept hearing rustling in the bushes next to us followed by heavy breathing.
As we all tried to talk her down we started to hear footsteps and weird airy breathing.
Another friend started to talk about a shadow person that was known to be seen at the park.
We started to walk back to my friends house while looking back.
We didnt see anybody but we kept hearing airy breathing and footsteps.
We were now sure we were being stalked by the shadow person.
It looked like a black blur like a shadow person.
We continued to run to her house and spent the night freaked out.
You would think if it was a person we would have spotted more of the person.
But the walkway had tall bushes on either side and it would be easy to stay hidden I guess.
This was a week before a classmate was kidnapped around the same area.
I think the fact there was six of us in a group stopped him from trying anything.
Note: yes we were all aged seven to eight.
We did tell police but they never updated us on anything.
They probably did to our parents but not us.
This was before the kidnapping and I hope the kidnapper wasnt whomever was in the park with us.
It definitely creeped me out and I dont trust walking down any sidewalks with large bushes definitely at night.
15.Whole family in the camp trailer at a sweet little place with full hook-ups.
Kids were asleep, it was late, campground was totally quiet.
Wife and I were certain it was aGhostbusterstype of weird shit.
I went outside; nothing but that odor, but total darkness.
16.I was seven years old, home alone.
My parents went for dinner at around 9 PM.
They left me in bed for me to sleep, hours passed and still couldnt sleep.
Went downstairs to get some milk and cookies to watch TV in my parents bedroom.
While I was getting my snacks, I felt like someone grabbed my shoulder.
I was so scared I couldnt even turn around to check who did it.
I locked myself in there and didnt get out until my parents came home.
It was three AM and heard my parents car park outside the window.
I was never so happy for them to come home.
As soon my parents get in the house my mom screamed and called 911.
Still freaks me out to this day.
I woke up but I was maybe 9 so I went right back to sleep.
My mom got up and ushered her back to bed.
18.I was 24 and working at a startup dotcom.
After the initial shock, I went through the apartment examining the closets, under the bed, etc.
Deep down, I knew it wasnt true but I couldnt think of any other explanation.
I later found out it was the woman I was dating at the time who did it.
She was the person who hired me.
She used to visit my place and snoop through my things when I was gone.
She also slept in my bed overnight several times when I was away for the weekend.
If she hadnt made my bed, I never would have known anything was going on.
