“There were three creatures standing in the kitchen.
They wore silver jumpsuits.”
This was rural northern Wisconsin and I was 14.
Daniella Urdinlaiz
Up until that day I had zero fear of the woods.
I spent most of my time out there exploring and feared nothing.
I saw bears, I saw wolves.
They were always more afraid of me than me them.
I didnt believe in ghosts, Bigfoot, demons, or even God.
I only got lost out there once when dark fell sooner than I expected.
So it was summer, I had just turned 14.
My mom had left my father, father worked all the time, sister was living on her own.
Once school was out it was me and my cat and this is before the Internet or smartphones.
I heard a loud crash thenlike something very loudly making its way through the brush.
Its like every goddamned classic horror story.
My brain had no capability for the thought of anything paranormal or spooky.
I simply tucked the mail under my arm and headed into the woods to investigate.
My cat followed close behind.
I got about 10 yards in when I noticed what I hadnt noticed beforethere was no noise.
It was absolutely silent.
At the same time I registered the silence, I got that eerie feeling thatsomething was watching me.
I stopped immediately and started scanning the woods for deer.
Thats when I spotted it.
Two brown furry legs, the top of it concealed by tree branches.
I went to sigh with relief when my cat hissed.
I looked down and he was completely poofed out with his back arched.
Looking at the same thing I was.
I looked back up and the legs moved.
Not like a deer.Like a human.
Everything happened at once after that.
I dropped the mail, picked up my cat by the scruff and ran for it.
Whatever was out there with me was running after me.
I have never run so fast in my life.
I tore up the driveway, into the house, locked the door and grabbed the phone.
He checked out the spot I was in and found nothing.
I was so hysterical I was in tears.
He stayed with me until I was able to reach my mom and have her come get me.
Of course they thought I was completely high or delusional.
I know exactly what I saw and felt.
It was broad daylight.
I never felt safe in those woods again and stopped sleeping outside.

A bird was perched on one of the lower branches just staring at them.
Before their horrified eyes, the bird began transforming until it was a woman.
A woman sitting on the branch leering at them.
As they began shouting and screaming for their parents, the woman became a bird again.
By this time, the parents had come out to investigate the commotion but the bird wouldnt budge.
The house is creepy.
In the beautiful roses my grandmother planted, strange things have been found.
Animal bones, guts, melted candles, and other witchcraft throw in of things.
A lady in white has been seen moving from room to room in the past by house guests.

I witnessed an alien abduction
Witnessed an alien abduction back in 2001…
This takes place when I was 13.
A friend of mine wanted me to help her grandparents set up their computer.
I said sure and ride my bicycle to their house.
I get there and clouds appear so I decide to make this pretty quick.
I set up the computer and install AOL for them, showing them all how it works and such.
All of a sudden a cold breeze went through the room.
It was odd as all the doors and windows were shut.
The grandparents looked toward the kitchen and what I saw made me freeze in place.
There were three creatures standing in the kitchen.
They wore silver jumpsuits.
Its looking at me and I get the feeling it knows who I am.
I dont know why I got the feeling but I did.
I was very scared.
More of the situation than of them and the grandparents were looking at them too but not doing anything.
I decide to say screw this and fought off all the fear I could and clumsily charged toward them.
I didnt even make three steps before the grandfather stopped me and told me they will bring her back.
The creatures didnt move and continued to look at me.
All of a sudden the light stretched around them and they vanished.
An odd glow remained for a few seconds before fading.
Nothing was there and I didnt sleep that night I got home.
The next day I did tell my friend what happened and she did tell me it has happened before.
The grandparents and other family members have tried to stop it but to no avail.
They just accepted it with a look of defeat and moved on.
Granddaughter was brought back after a few hours.
A while after this their whole family moved elsewhere.
Ive heard from other people who claimed to experience similar events and I feel they are legit.

This was your typical every day route that I took however that morning was different.
It was made up entirely of black spheres.
In the shape of a man it definitely had 2 legs 2 arms a torso and a head.
But again all made up of black spheres about a foot wide a little bigger than a basketball.
All of the spheres had a texture to them I had never seen before.
That is creepy enough but it was dancing around a pole across the street.
I would not say it wasevilit was just bad.
Its like the difference between saying a man can be evil but a man can also be good.
This thing could not have the possibility of being good there was no way.
It was bad through and through.
Anyways when I looked at it.
It stopped dancing looked at me and just popped out of existence it did not fade.
It did not make any sound.
It was just there one moment the next moment it was gone.
Anyways I just went to school like normal if not a little shaken.
I cannot help but think I saw something strange that morning.
Something I was not supposed to see.
Whatever thatcreaturewas it was bad bad news.

Then it sat up and turned to face me.
It just so happened that his bedroom was where we would be having our sleep-over.

A mysterious creature appeared inside of the house
This happened when I was 7.
So its god knows what time, and Im woken up by a sound.
The figure in the t.v.
I replied, Someones in the house.
They never found anyone, and Ive never had a similar experience since then.

She saw a humanoid completely covered in fur
Not my story, but my moms.
She said it was humanoid, about 7-8 ft tall, and completely covered in fur.
As soon as it noticed them, it leaped down from the tree and sprinted further into the woods.
Of course they were all terrified and ran back to the house.
They never saw the thing again, but both my mom and aunt are adamant that it happened.

It was a normal Friday evening at first.
This lasted for about 45 minutes before I finally decided to go to sleep.
As I approached the curtain everything was normal.
It was just a normal night.
The only thing that seemed a little off was how quiet it was.
It felt like a normal late night.
Behind the curtain was what I believe to be an extra terrestrial / alien.
It was facing the hallway to my Dads room and it was in a crouched position.
Its skin color was a sort of dark grey/gunmetal color.
I gasped and was immediately overcome by an immense sense of dread and terror.
I was quite literally paralyzed by fear.
I just stood there with my hand on the curtain, mouth agape.
It stared at me for a couple of seconds and then everything went black.
My heart was pounding, and it felt like it was beating a million times a minute.
Standing over my bed were 3 dark grey figures.
They were tall, their heads nearly touching the 7 foot ceilings in my room.
I turned my head, stared at them and began to experience the same sense of terror as before.
It was the exact same sense of dread and paralysis.
I was unable to move, unable to speak, unable to do anything except look.
This time they looked at me for much longer than a couple of seconds.
It felt like it lasted a full minute or more.
It tapped its finger on my foot 3 times, slowly.
Each time it tapped, a strange sensation pulsed through my body.
It was just a weird energy that I cant really describe.
After the 3rd pulse subsided, the being stood straight again, and then everything went black again.
Eventually all that emotion subsided and I grabbed my phone from my bedside table.
It was 1:33 AM.
I didnt end up going to sleep at all that night.
I just sort of sat there on my bed trying to explain to myself what just happened.
I was wide awake still when I went to get a drink of water.
I wasnt dreaming, because I hadnt yet gone to sleep.
If it was sleep paralysis, Ive never had it before, and I havent had it since.
It makes me feel squirmy and nervous.
I dont know if they hurt me or did anything to me or my dad.
I dont know if I was crazy, sleep deprived, or actually encountered aliens in my house.
The lost time thing was a little freaky.
I was texting my brother about fallout 4 in the middle of the morning.
7 whole hours had passed, and I didnt remember any of it.
I was confused, and didnt really know what to do.
The UFOs thing is self explanatory.
Ive seen lights fly over my house in the night.
The animal mutilation thing is the saddest part for me.
Most of them are spayed/neutered and vaccinated, but new ones show up still and get pregnant somehow.
Its gruesome but it happens.
The cut goes all the way through their sternum and everything.
Its always perfectly straight, and none of their internal organs or anything are damaged.
Its like someone took a razor or something and slit them.
Weve found them on our driveway and the private road leading to our driveway.
Theres never any blood, and the cat it just dead on the ground, already in rigor mortis.
It makes no sense and it makes me sad cause Ive raised most of those cats from kittenhood.

To start, I live on a farm in a house that was built in the early 1900s.
To date, four people have passed away in the house or near the house.
My great great grandma died in a rocking chair.
Over the years, my mother and brother have experienced many different spooky things on our property.
My brother was alone once and he was outside doing farm choirs in the dark.
He was maybe 500 feet from our house.
He had the urge to look over and every single light in the house was on.
My father has been oblivious to everything and has never heard any of it.
She got this intense feeling that it wanted her to see it.
After a few seconds, it bolted away from the house.
For years, shed never tell anyone the story.
It was investigated by some big shot UFO investigator out of Chicago too.
I personally had never heard or seen anything in our house until recently.
Ive heard crashing noises and my dog has perked his ears up because of them.

I came across Bigfoot deep in the forest
I was hiking up in the Cascades in Oregon.
I was in a more remote area of the range.
I chalked it up to being a mountain lion in the area.
But the weird thing was the uneasy feeling never left.
The closest thing I could relate it to is the noises apes and monkeys make.
All my food was gone.
I decided to keep pushing, I had 4 days left till the end of the trail.
Im familiar with what I can and cant eat in the area and I could always fish for food.
The same nightly activities occurred and on the 13th night something started throwing rocks at my tent.
Hoping it was just some person fucking with me and maybe theyd scream out, sorry mate or something.
Instead it grew quiet for the first time in nights.
Nothing could be heard.
Then a scream louder and more vicious then any other night cut through the night.
Then nothing, complete and utter silence again.
Despite it being quiet I wasnt able to sleep that night, I just waited.
The next day I continued my hike, dead tired, just wanting to get out.
I yelled at it, it turned to look at me.
I threw a rock at it and then pulled my knife.
This thing just kept staring at me.
It ran from me and I chased it in the woods.
It had long strides and easily outpaced me but I continued the chase.
After several minutes I gave up and collapsed in exhaustion.
I rested for a bit, before backtracking my way back to my backpack and resting area.
I was tired and made camp there.
Exhausted, hungry, mentally drained, I made my way out.
As I got closer and closer to the end of the trail, the typical forest noises returned.
Birds, bugs, mice running through the undergrowth.
All these noises slowly returned.
I no longer had this feeling of unease.
I got to trails end, sat in my car, and cried.
I just dont know.
I do a lot of long hikes, but that 15 days was by far the worst.

She was a single mom, so it was just her and I for many years.
It wasnt too bad.
Usually by the time I fixed myself a snack and got through my homework, she was home.
I should note that at this time, I was still sleeping with my mom.
I initially started out in my own room, but I began having these horrible nightmares.
The touch of that hand was the coldest feeling Id ever experienced.
It was so vivid in my mind.
I felt incredibly sad, almost like the happiness was draining out of me.
I started making excuses about wanting to sleep with her.
My mom never made a big fuss about it.
We would stay up late reading on a regular basis and I would accidentally fall asleep.
I hated that room and avoided going in there at all costs.
My mom started to notice this routine and asked why I didnt just simply change in my room?
I just made up some stupid excuse and my brushed it off.
The dreams seemed to stay away once I stayed in my moms room.
It had been so long that I started to forget about them.
It was late, definitely past midnight, when I got an eerie feeling.
I couldnt place it, but I was instantly uncomfortable.
I put my book down and noticed a lump under the covers, toward the end of the bed.
I stared at the lump and it started to move toward me.
Every fiber in my body was screaming to move, but was paralyzed with fear.
I finally mustered a weak mom and nudged her, all while keeping an eye on the lump.
I went into a crying fit and told my mom what happened.
I convinced myself she was right and went to sleep.
One weekend I had a friend sleep over.
I started to get anxiety as bed time loomed closer.
We quietly moved to my moms room on the floor next to her bed and fell asleep.
Sometime in the middle of the night, I woke instantly and sat straight up.
I was staring at a lump at the foot of my moms bed.
I suddenly became overwhelmed with the urge to touch it.
I lifted the sheet and placed my hand upon the smoothest object Id ever touched.
I felt cold, colder than any weather Id been through.
I became empty, like a shell of a person.
Nothing was left but numb darkness.
It was as if I was under a trance.
I somehow was able to pull my hand away and I threw myself against the wall.
I stared at the lump until I fell asleep.
The next morning, I retold what happened to my mom and she broke down in tears.
She thought that this was all behind us, but clearly it was more than she previously thought.
I didnt do much that day.
My mom busied herself with Sunday chores while I stared blankly at the tv.
As she stepped out for a bit to do some laundry, she ran into our neighbor.
My mom confided in her about all the odd occurrences and her face went grim.
Our neighbor was Native American and was super in tune with her culture and traditions.
My mom asked her to come inside to speak with me.
She agreed, but upon stepping up to our door, she retreated.
She said the origin was our apartment and the spirit would not allow her to cross the threshold.
Our neighbor apologized, but promised she would gather what she could to help us.
In the mean time, my mom reached out to my grandmother.
Not that shit wasnt already weird, but shit got even weirder.
My grandmother immediately told my mom to call my uncle.
We need to act now.
It still gives me chills to talk about it.
We werent close with this uncle at all and hadnt talked to him in YEARS.
He sent us a bottle of oil that was supposedly poured upon where Jesus was laid to rest.
He instructed us to bless ALL doorways/entry ways.
This meant every door, closet and window.
She made us swear to stay in our bedroom that night and not emerge until morning.
My mom and I quickly blessed the house and both passed out of exhaustion.
That night was the first night I had slept soundly since we moved in.
My mom, however, laid awake the entire night.
Whatever we did, pissed off the spirit.
She said that night was the longest night of her life.
To this day, i have no clue what I experienced.
If my mom hadnt gone through it with me, I probably would have thought I was crazy.
Seeing it laid out through text definitely makes it seem insane and completely unreal.

I saw a creature similar to Slenderman
Something reminiscent of slender man.
Obviously slenderman is a creepy pasta but this isnt slender man.
Theres a farm behind my house, separated by a canal.
The farm stretches maybe about 1000 feet back before it hits a tree line.
A couple weeks ago, I was eating dinner and was staring out at the farm.
It was maybe 20 minutes until nightfall.
It was much too tall to be a person.
I asked them if they saw that and they just said, Saw what?
Then it happened AGAIN the third night.

This then made me realize that it was actually flying low enough for us to see it without light.
That then lead me consider the lack of noise it was making.
We stopped the car and turned it off to listen and there was no noise from propellers or engines.
We watched it fly slow as hell over us towards the nearby town.
Anybody have any idea what it could have been?

Like, not eve crickets chirping.
My little brother and I shared a bed in one room on the ground floor.
On this particular morning, I woke up first.
The sun was brilliant, making the room gold through the curtains.
It wasrightthere, like almost pressed against the window in profile.
I stared in awe.
And that is when itchanged.
Grandfather was very built for his age, dad had a gut.
This silhouette was clearly younger, muscular but not in the like a brick way my grandfather was.
And scared the hell out of me.
It stared to the side for a moment, and then strode off with purpose.
I dont know what I saw.
I want to believe it was just the groggy mind of a half awake kid.
But I remember the fear slicing into me.
I remember the feeling of something being out there.Kii_and_lock

I came face-to-face with a massive figure with red eyes
I was around 12 when this happened to me.
During the time my brother and I shared a room and had bunk beds.
He had the top bed while I had the bottom.
The room was quite long but really skinny, almost a L shape if you will.
Anyways, I remembered waking up late one night.
I stood up out of bed and checked to see my brother sleeping.
As I turned towards the doorway, I noticed it was open.
This was odd because we always slept with the door closed to keep the cat out.
I peeked around the corner and that was when I saw…whatever it was I saw.
In the door way was a massive figure.
If I had to guess, probably around 66-67.
The last thing I remember was it rapidly approaching the bunk bed then it goes blank.
I woke up on the floor early the next morning.
The final thing about the encounter that convinced me something happened that night was my brother.

I think we were building with lego.
It was late afternoon and our parents were outside the front of the house chatting.
My bedroom had a window at the side of the house.
From the neck down, it looked like a person.
I cant remember what it was wearing but I think it was dressed in a dark blazer.
The collar was visible so I know it was facing us.
From the neck up, everything started to look very wrong.
There was no face.
Thats not what a person looks like…
I remember mostly feeling surprised more than scared.
I dont think I really thought it was real.
I remember being paralyzed with shock and fear.
I wanted to bolt but I couldnt move.
Like the room was blurry and spinny.
I dont remember the thing walking away but one moment it was there and the next it was gone.
Celia and I both stood up wordlessly and walked solemnly outside.
Celia and I never talked about it.

For as long as I can remember, Ive had a spirit that stays with me.
Always chalked it up as an imaginary friend, when I was a kid.
I named him George, and hes been a blessing, in my life.
Ive had plenty of paranormal experiences, but this one there was someone else who witnessed it.
About two and a half years ago, my fiancee and I moved into a new condo.
We got pregnant about a month later, and I noticed that George had began clinging to my fiancee.
Hes always been a protector.
Anyways, fast forward about another month, around Christmas time, I noticed that George wasnt around.
That something was an evil spirit, in the form of a little girl.
It got to the point that I was sleeping downstairs, to avoid the encounters.
They seemed to stay upstairs, until my last real encounter.
I walk into the kitchen, late one night, to get a glass of water.
There was the little boy, huddled on the floor.
He didnt acknowledge me.
Which was odd, because he always came to me.
Turns out he was staring through me, and at my wife.
She had someone how managed to come downstairs, unnoticed.
Shes known about my experiences, but never seen one transpire.
She knew, then, why I hadnt been sleeping in the bed.
Id had enough, and the next morning I go out and buy some sage.
As my fiancee and I were cleansing the apartment, we began hear rather strange creaking noises.
Almost as if the whole condo was shifting.
At that moment, George had returned.
All was right, and the little girl hasnt since returned.
My son is now two years old, and sees George.
Even calls out for him.
I think its cute, as does my wife.
It still kind of scares her, because she knows of the things Ive dealt with.

Around 40 people and I were there, making a campfire at night.
Suddenly, a flying saucer flew over us, it was like 40 meters above us.
One could see it clearly.
It had lights of primary colors beneath it, and didnt make a sound.
I dunno if it was made by humans or aliens, but I saw it, and everyone there.
It was real as fuck.
This happened in 2000.
Now that I think about it, it was spooky.

I was completely exhausted and was happily heading back to my dorm.
It was a Friday night, so I was very much alone on my walk back.
I could not see their face, but I knew they were staring at me.
I jumped inside my building and slammed the door shut behind me.
I still dont like being on campus alone at night, almost two years later.

It was the first multicultural house in the Greek Village, and we were so proud.
About 9 of us lived there.
Anyway, over the first few months we lived there, several of us noticed strange things.
We werent comfortable by ourselves.
Wed see black people shapes out of the corners of our eyes.
Somebody even swore they had a conversation with me, when I wasnt in the house.
They said the me was a bit off and vacant and strange, but they couldnt figure out why.
This happened with a few of us.
Things were being broken and misplaced.
We would hear strange wind noises sometimes.
We finally went to someone in our tribe who dealt with things like this.
He came and cleared the house with tobacco and water.
We prayed, and cleansed ourselves.
Two of us stayed in the house while he worked.
Then it was over.
Turns out it wasnt malevolent or anything.
Just something that had attached itself to the land.
We never had any problems after the cleansing.

Misfortune had hit hard and I had been homeless for about six months at that point.
So the usual schedule for me was to be awake until sunrise.
Its not possible that it was a dream, and not likely to be my imagination.
Okat, setup complete.
Heres what I saw.
Im walking along, following the edge of a small wash, twirling a stick I found.
A head Ive seen before?
I yanked it forward and accidentally broke the strap that kept the sheath on my back.
