These paranormal stories fromAsk Redditare perfect reads for October.
1.I was visiting family and staying in a hotel with my boyfriend (husband now).
I noticed there was a dark shadow in the corner of the room that looked human-shaped.

I rolled over and went back to bed.
The following morning I remembered this and turned to look into the corner where the lamp was and…
There isnt a floor lamp there.
The corner is bare.
I mentioned it to my boyfriend and he went white.
It still sticks with me in dark rooms.
2.My husband and I stayed at a super old hotel in Santa Fe, NM.
The old room we were staying in had this decorative wooden chair that had a slanted seat.
I also hung a nice new dress on the back of the chair.
We went out sightseeing and when we came back, my dress was on the floor near the chair.
Oh well, we ordered some dinner and went to bed.
It was so loud, we shot awake and turned on the light.
And it was a SLAM to the ground.
I demanded we sleep with a light on.
I didnt even have the courage to see if my computer was ok until the next day.
3.Let me tell you about my dads old farm house, aka The Spooky House.
So they would hop around to different farms and manage them so to speak.
Also, we live in Australia.
The House was known to have a very foreboding feeling to it.
Like something was always off and you couldnt put your finger on it.
Dad said they had these giant ass hippie beads hanging in the doorways.
So big and heavy that it would have to be a big gust of wind to move them.
He lost count how many times he would get up early for work or such and find them swaying.
Like someone walked through them but when he checked the bedrooms, everyone was asleep.
I remember dad telling me that it slowly got worse over time.
Like the house didnt want them there or something.
At one point nan contacted a psychic to see if they could make it better or calm it down.
Well, the psychic wouldnt even get out of her car and come up the driveway.
Absolutely refused to come inside the house.
Nan was left flabbergasted and asked what she could do.
The psychic told her to move house and drove off.
Dad said not long after that these things would start stalking the house.
To this day he has no idea what they were, and he doesnt really want to know.
Especially where the windows are.
Her peg basket on the clothesline would be ripped to shreds and bits of it spread around.
Dad said she would get the shits because she had to keep buying new ones haha.
Speaking of, it stalked dad once too.
He was walking from the house to his dad, a few paddocks over to help with the cows.
It was cold and there was frost on the grass.
As Dad was walking he could hear a crunch crunch coming behind him.
So he stopped and it stopped too.
Dad was like huh and started walking again, and so did it.
Again dad stopped and it stopped.
Now starting to get freaked out, Dad starting to pick up the pace and he stopped again.
Only this time it didnt stop, but started to come right at Dad.
Ran over 2 paddocks and cleared the fences.
Didnt stop till he reached his dads side.
They had the run of the house and could sleep wherever they wanted.
But all of them always end up huddling up in one room when they went to sleep.
One time it was just Dad and his cousin over, they played a game of pool and drank.
At one point around midnight, both of them were sitting around and heavily drunk.
A dark figure appeared and said, Go to bed.
Dad said he was pissed drunk and thought eh, why the hell not and they went to bed.
But Dad didnt remember that part.
I will say though that Dad and his parents moved out and someone else eventually moved in.
Not long after that, the house burned down.
Dad didnt know what caused the fire, but he was sure as fuck happy about it!
But the voice seemed to always be right next to me.
5.I am a real estate broker and flip houses.
We buy old beat-up houses, some of them are the worst of the worst as you could imagine.
Anyway, we bought one and went to see it today.
It had been vacant for 10 years and when we went inside there was a bloodstain on the floor.
Come to find out that somebody killed themselves in that house 10 years ago.
My partner and I were taking walkthrough videos to share with our contractors and get rehab estimates.
This is going to be a weird rehab.
6.Felt really uneasy one night so I went downstairs to sleep instead of in my room.
The next day everyone in my family said they saw an ominous orb of light floating around.
Took a full carton out of the fridge.
Grabbed an egg, cracked it.
Went to a grab a second egg, only to notice the carton was…full.Again.
I dont know), then I just threw them all out.
Wasnt gonna fuck around with phantom eggs.
There is probably a rational explanation but I know what I saw.
8.My sister had a horse doll that moved around on its own.
Needless to say, we were both freaked out.
The thing shot straight up and disappeared, so I told them it was gone.
I know it wasnt a balloon, but I dont want the FAA questioning my sanity.
What is behind the blue sky we see is infinite, and we know nothing about it.
10.My father died less than 6 months after my daughter was born.
She was not a good sleeper for her first year or so.
Waking up screaming and crying at all hours of the night.
My wife and I would trade times getting up to soothe her.
I shot up and saw the baby monitor screen was on.
I get up and check and shes fine and sleeping.
A little shaken it took me a bit to get back to sleep.
I tell my wife about the dream in the morning.
She told me she heard her crying, but thought Id gotten up to calm her.
After a short time, she calms down enough to get us to follow us into her room.
She was in a A.P.
flute class and had to record herself playing some music.
He had a big fenced yard and next to her room was the garage.
There was no way someone outside of the house could have screamed and been recorded that clear.
His sister did not sleep in that room for 6 months.
13.Im not sure if it is really paranormal but I have a weird instinct.
Important information, I get car sick so my place is always backseat, passenger side.
Have I been there, that would be the end of my story.
Now, if I really dont want to go somewhere or do something, trust me, I dont.
It had two floors with a stair in the middle that ended right where I would usually sleep.
And this would repeat 5-6 times every night.
15.I once was laying in my bed with my dog at the foot of it.
Her head then slowly turns and follows something I cant see.
I ran out of that room so quick without daring to look out that window.
16.So apparently my house is haunted according to other people.
Ive lived in my house for almost 20 years now.
There were two little girls in the closet.
say the exact same thing.
Ive personally never seen them, but I guess thats why stuff moves around in my house.
There was a kid we saw from the nearby elementary school.
He had a red t-shirt with black sleeves, black shorts, and a ninja turtles backpack.
So after another 5-10 minutes go by, we see the same kid.
There were no other streets that wouldve lead him to be ahead of us again.
We were kind of weirded out by that.
18.I used to live in Cambodia.
The barn, and all of its contents burned.
I am 100% sure I shut and latched the lid on the toolbox.
I woke up that night, to the sound of the toolboxs lid slamming shut.
19.Ill preface this by saying, I still dont believe in ghosts.
So my house is kind of old.
Its about 50 years old this year.
Growing up LOTS of things would be moved.
Like LOTS of things.
I once woke up to a gallon of water and napkins by my bed.
Appliances laying in the middle of the living room.
Clothes and items on the ground that werent there before.
Weve had the TV turned on at full volume in the middle of the night.
Relatively new blenders or stereo systems turn on by themselves.
And man theres always some monthly occurrence going on.
At first, I figured it was my siblings being irresponsible or my parents lying.
Like it was weird.
20.I can see the future sometimes.
Its fucking weird as shit.
Not like deja vu, but also exactly like deja vu at the same time.
Its usually like 10 seconds.
I dont really talk about it though because people will think Im insane or exaggerating.
Happens like once or twice a month.
21.Well, the light in my room went out when I literally started reading this thread.
I went back over and turned it back on.
I didnt lose power and the lightbulb didnt burn out.
It just turned off.
22.I was staying in The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.
I was going to have my picture taken next to Room 217.
The knob started to jiggle, ever so slightly.
It didnt feel like it was touched on the other side.
I didnt fuck around.
Took off in the other direction.
I 100% plan on going back.
