Thought he was from school).

He starts messaging me on Snapchat flirting with me, which made me feel really uncomfortable since Im straight.

When he was calling me cute and stuff before.

I then proceed to ignore him and stop replying to his messages just leaving him on read.

I honestly dont know how he found out where I lived since I wasnt on Snapmaps.

Moral of the story dont add randoms.

So my dad decided to put up a half wall to make a third.

If I stood on my bed I could see into my brothers room.

We were young and used to throw a ball over before falling asleep.

One night I was just drifting off when my mom taps me on the shoulder and says, Psssst.

What are you doing?

I thought, thats a very weird question, obviously Im sleeping.

So I turn around to answer her, only its not my mom.

Its not a person.

It looked like a 3D shadow of a man.

I screamed while my eyes were closed , the figure disappeared.

I tried to sleep but I was shook.

My brother woke up once to go use the bathroom upstairs and I pretended I was asleep.

I didnt want him to know I was still afraid.

Arms crossed with its head resting on his hands.

Even though it had no facial features whatsoever, I knew it was looking at me.

It was just that one night.

I never saw anything like it again, or even close.

But yeeeaarsss later, in my 20s.

I was living alone and felt the tap on my shoulder.

What are you doing?

Ill stop there cause youll think Im crazy.

But that was the last time I heard it.

And Im 31 now.

Its not a ghost story.

I will remember that day until I die.

I found a dead body when I was only a teenager

Found a body when I was 14.

Bolted out of there and I told my dad.

I thought I kicked some sleeping homeless dude and I was super paranoid sprinting back towards my parents.

My father went to investigate and said it was a body so we called 911.

The police were very surprised we didnt hear a gunshot because it was that recent.

Never saw any blood and never got to find out what was in the bag.

Thank god I didnt see his face.

We saw an inhuman creature on the side of the road

This was roughly about 3 years ago.

Now to preface this story, I am not a believer in the supernatural/occult/magic/etc.

My best friend, however, does.

This is not fake, I did not make this up.

Where I grew up, theres a road called Indian Cabin Road.

Its a loooooong road that intersects several other roads, eventually going from pavement to dirt after a bit.

Now being from a small town, every kid knows about it.

Its almost a rite of passage.

It stared, this inky blackcreature, and started tomovetowards us.

My friend immediately booked it out there, repeatedly asking me what it was and what was happening.

I was legitimately scared, and to this day I have no idea what the fuck we saw.

It was late, around 11pm, and my Mom had decided to take the unlit country backroad home.

Very suddenly he nudges me and points out the back window, insisting I turn around and look.

He becomes more insistent and I can hear fear creeping into his voice.

I pull up my hoodie and ignore him.

Now hes frantically trying to get my parents attention and theyre screaming at him to shut up.

The next day I ask him what had him all worked up in the car.

He describes to me in a shaky voice that something had been following behind the car the night before.

We drove that road many times after and never experience anything like that again.

We lived near a catholic church and there is a fair every year come January.

He got so pale and stammered.

It was a woman, buried from the waist down and wailing.

Her wailing somehow, though near us, was heard in the distance.

We both started running towards the church which must have been half a mile away or so.

As I turned back I could see her slowly crawling out of the ground.

I stumbled but regained my footing and kept running behind my friend.

We were both shaken up and were unwilling to walk back home until my parents showed up.

(Sorry if thats confusing.

There are four people; two fathers, two sons).

Everyone sat still until the father picked up his sons head and wailed in grief.

I think about this every once it a while.

It truly horrifies me.

And to think, the father had to break the news to the kids mother.

I couldnt imagine telling that to a loved one after what was supposed to be a simple camping trip.

I suffered from demonic oppression

Over ten years ago I was in a bad place mentally.

I am a firm believer in the occult and believe in God, ghosts and the supernatural.

After several months of feeling like I was a medium I was starting to feel.. off.

I was having horrendous thoughts that were very out of character for me.

Thoughts of suicide, rape, murder and torture to name some of the tamer imaginings I was having.

It got so bad that my hands were bleeding because I could not stop washing them.

The guilt I felt from these thoughts was taking me over and I thought I was going insane.

So I told her everything and she told me I needed to see a doctor.

I began researching OCD and the effects of it.

A week or so after confiding in my Mom I went and saw our family doctor.

At 16 I was terrified of the idea of being mentally ill.

I take the papers he gives me and shrug home.

I tell my mom what he said and start to plan my road to recovery.

This was the definition of that was happening to me.

My symptoms were all on par with what the article was referencing.

It can lead to demonic possession.

The number one route cause believed to entice a negative energy to harass you?

Playing with ouija boards.

I then began researching how to be rid of this hypothetical oppression.

Get rid of you boards and check that to dispose of them correctly.

I began to do so.

I put it all in seperate bags and it sat in our garbage for a day or too.

Garbage day rolls around and I hear the truck outside around the corner making its stops.

When I enter the house its quiet.

I yell to my Dad and no one answers.

15 seconds go by and my mom comes in from work.

She says hi and I ask he where Dad went.

She said thats impossible because she was just talking to him on the phone.

I RUN to a phone and call him.

Sure enough hes still at the A&P and he totally confused with what I am talking about.

I hang up in complete shock.

No one else was home and it 100% looked and sounded like my Dad.

After the boards were taken away all my symtoms stopped.

Like over night stopped.

I was looking for a temporary job for that period.

I am talking of 1984, the era of snail mail, and places instead of people having phones.

I applied, and a few days later I got called for an interview .

On due date I started off earlier, since I had to drive 200 miles.

I reached the town, and had no difficulty in locating doctors office.

It was just on the main road.

Dr X is expecting you, but a little problem emerged, and he had to leave earlier.

He asked me to bring you at his house.

Is that O.K with you?

No problem, I replied.

I was asked to follow the man.

Whole place was fenced.

I was seated in a room and told to wait for Dr X.

After I had sat down, I began to look around.

Then my eyes drifted to the floor.

And then I noticed some thing.

Some times they are hard to notice but look hard enough and you will notice them.

Then I got up and looked around.

Somethingevilhad taken place in that very room and fairly recently.

The floor had been cleaned but not very professionally.

I grabbed my file, and hastened out.

I did not look back, but I did hear some shouting He is running away.

Seldom have I driven that fast.

Did not stop until I had arrived at my apartment.

Years later, I was discharging a patient and her husband wanted to speak to me about his wife.

As we talked, I asked him that I knew he was a Sheriff, but where?

He named that very town.

I narrated him my story about that place and he went quiet.

After a pause he said, You have no idea how lucky have you been.

Was that date X of the year Y?

Yes, I said.

The blood stain that alerted you belonged to the Dr you had gone to see.

He was killed in that room.

His wife was murdered in her bedroom.

Another Dr was killed two hours later, after you had managed to escape.

He too, had come over for an interview.

The third candidate was even luckier.

By the time he arrived, the culprits had gone.

He waited at Drs office and finding it closed turned back.

They were captured some weeks later and tried.'

A man in a hooded cape sat on my bed

This was an experience I had around 2010.

I lived in a 2 bedroom condo, but my roommate wasnt home.

I woke up to someone or something in a black hooded cape sitting on the edge of my bed.

It turned around and its cape was full of millions of stars.

It then evaporated into the painting in front of my bed.

My sister died shortly after this.

Nobody else in the group seemed to pay it any mind, so I keep walking.

Then I notice its not a couple.

As in, chopped to bits and spread around in piles.

And then I see why I get this exact feeling.

Were all right up alongside the car now, and I cant help but glance in the back window.

I keep my mouth shut and keep walking.

I dunno, but it was shady as fuck.

I smoked to the point of being totally out of it.

We were just chilling next to a tree when I see a man walking down the graveyard.

I got a little nervous immediately but blew it off.

I was so terrified I thought I was mildly hallucinating, I couldnt even move.

We booked it out of the graveyard and were finally back in my neighborhood.

I was terrified for days after that.

We set our bags down, and join the campfire.

It was just us and a middle-aged Asian couple.

We begin talking and the sun sets, so we dont expect anyone else to come.

He was no less than 68, extremely muscular, and had his hair tied back into a ponytail.

Imagine a more muscular Geralt from the Witcher.

We start talking and he seems very friendly.

Then, my dad asks the man: So, where are you from?

My dad repeats the question, thinking the guy didnt hear him.

The Asian guy asks the question, and suddenly, the big guy explodes yelling, I DONT KNOW!

I DONT FUCKING KNOW!

He stunk like hell, but was harmless.

I turn around and see the big, silver haired guy standing in the treeline, spying on us.

He was built like a WWE wrestler, and we were all under 6 ft. Big guy stands there for a moment, and silently walks off into the woods without making any sound.

After that incident, we agreed to have someone keep watch.

Since the Asian guy had a gun, he volunteered while we slept.

In the morning, I was so glad big guy didnt come back, because Asian man fell asleep.

That shit still gives me chills.

I figured why put the lights on if Im gonna be done in 5 seconds, right?

And thats why we dont have see through curtains anymore.

I still have an irrational fear of the dark.

My wife and I were in bed, just about ready to turn out the light.

My friend was speaking gibberish, but absolutely panicked.

She said she was bleeding, she had no idea where she was, then more gibberish.

She asked me and my wife to pick her up from the airport.

Her flight was cut short or something and she was on her way back.

Never got details on why.

Bad phone reception along with all the other confusion.

So we hopped into the car to go pick her up.

This was about 11 pm.

Halfway to the airport, she calls again.

Shes sobbing over and over Im sorry!

and I… there was nothing to be sorry about.

I had no idea why she was so panicked.

I told her its ok, but she was phasing between sobbing and just gibberish.

Also, she wasnt flying back.

She was in a hotel.

We drove next to a mountain and lost the cell signal.

But she sounded sure wasnt flying back tonight.

The airport wouldnt let her fly.

They thought she was drunk.

So we turned around and tried calling her for an hour or so.

She finally called us.

She didnt know if someone was with her in the room.

Or maybe they had left the room and were coming back.

She had no idea why she was there or what hotel it was.

Normally, shes a very sharp woman.

I had to tell her to look on the phone for the phone number.

Shes still sobbing and speaking gibberish.

She said she was bleeding from her head and her glasses were broken.

They took her to the hospital.

She had been roofied on the airplane and couldnt tell us anything else about what had happened to her.

We picked her up from the airport the next day.

But I remembered the panicked calls and the helplessness.

It bothered me for weeks, maybe months.

Its still one of the creepiest things Ive experienced.

All the while Im standing in the doorway watching in complete silence.

She eventually wriggled free and he says, Im just going to kill myself then!

I live on a bumpy, unpaved hill.

So Im walking up, and I hear someone talking.

So, being the ignorant little turd I am, I walk into the bushes.

Ive never been in there, so I was freaking out.

Then I came to a clearing.

In the middle was a lone black/white television playing an old tv show.

Then, I heard rustling coming to my left.

I ran home as fast as I could.

Tall and wide, no branches at the bottom, one really long thin branch about 8 feet up.

Got up there and my muscles were tanked to the point of shaking.

Felt amazing though, all my friends were oohing and aahing.

Then suddenly I lose my balance and fall backwards off the thin branch.

Still dont know how to explain it.

My fathers ghost haunted our house

My dad committed suicide in my parents shower when I was 7.

It never happened again.

In high school, I invited a friend over to hang out.

He didnt know about my dad.

I lived in a 5 bedroom 3 bath 1980s cheaply built home with my parents and sister.

(My 6 older brothers had already grown up, and moved out.

Her room was directly across from mine.

I blinked a few times, decided I was dreaming, and went back to sleep.

There was this dark heavy feeling in the air, and I stopped breathing.

The singing continued and then ever so softly I felt someone or something playing with my hair.

Softly running its hands down my red hair.

As soon as I finished praying the song stopped and I heard a scream fade away…

The next day I told my mom about the experience, and she dismissed it for a dream.

I forced myself to believe her.

It had to be a dream because if it was real I wouldnt ever be able to sleep again.

Dream or not I moved my bed back to where it had been the night before.

Thats when a dark slender figure walked in between our rooms, and stood in the hallway.

It turned its head and looked into my sisters room, and then into my room.

Back into my sisters room and then turned to look back into my room again.

I screamed the most pathetic scream of my life, and yelled there is something in my room!

My parents flipped on the lights and come running into my room to find nothing.

I dont know what I saw or what happened all I know is that it did happen.

My old bedroom was haunted

Background: My old room in my old house is basically a pseudo-attic.

Its on the same level as the attic and has doors that lead to it.

One weekday, Im playing video games like I always do when Im truant.

I start to hear banging against one of the doors.

Something was REALLY fucking mad at me.

I thought it was some angry animal that got into my attic through the roof.

He was busy, so she decided to come home to look in the attic.

We moved out, and later my Mom talked with the current house owner while she was out walking.

Someone tried tokidnapme and my girlfriend

My girlfriend and I went to Wal-mart one night at about 11:30.

We park close with only one spot open to us on our left.

I make a side note of it, and we continue down a few more aisles.

I think to myself, maybe coincidence maybe not.

There were too many coincidences for that to merely be my anxiety interpreting the situation as something it wasnt.

I decided to take an evening walk, just drinking a soda and walking around, enjoying the weather.

I was walking behind some store buildings and tossing some rocks, when a car drove through.

I stepped out of the way, let them pass, and I left.

I went across the street to a different parking lot, under some lights cause it was getting dark.

Im still walking, and its matching my speed.

After a couple minutes, I get fed up that I was being followed.

As soon as I did that, this dipshit stepped on it, and disappeared.

A while later, I saw the same car in the same apartment complexwhere I lived.

I havent seen the car since.

We were childhood friends that grew up in the same Detroit suburb.

Act like we went inside because we live here.

One of the two guys GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK and went into the yard to look for us.

About 15 minutes later he left.

I look back on it now and think what a close call.

The woman next door has been stalking me

Or so I thought.

She lowers the blinds when she sees that I saw her, but is peeking through them watching me.

The more I looked for her, the more I saw: she was watching basically all the time.

Not only from her window- she sits in her car and watches us from the street.

She sits on her porch and watches.

She slowly walks down the street and watches us- literally all hours of the day.

It freaked me the hell out.
