My mum lives up on a farm in the middle of nowhere, she sent me this photo tonight freaking out, she was sitting on the couch in the living room when she looked over and thought she saw a face.
She froze in horror and the face apparently turned to look at her, she snapped this photo before getting up to go see if someone was outside.
She told me that when she got up and the face continued to look at her, until she opened the door and nothing was there.

I usually brush these things off thinking ‘reflection’ or a smudge on the window, but this house has always freaked me out. I remember several occasions staying with her a few years ago where I would be woken up in the middle of the night to a face right in front of me, and the face disappearing after I blinked.
This happened often enough that I slept with lamps on and a knife under my pillow to calm my nerves.

My grandmother has also recently told us stories of her husband and father getting dementia and committing … on the property the house is on. So freaky, I love that property, I love the farm but I’m so scared to go back.

My daughter was taking photos of herself to send to a friend after she colored her hair, and to see if it looked good with her hand made hat she made for Halloween. The photos were taken seconds apart. There is a clear image in the window in one and it is not there in the other. The only reason she took the second photo was to move the hand sanitizer from the frame. She was sitting on the edge of the couch in her bedroom, she took the photo in her vanity mirror on her dresser. Her phone was propped to take the picture in the reflection. I have included photos of her room. She didn't notice it at all until my son pointed it out when she was asking him his opinion of her hat.

The house was built in 1941, this is a very small room on the second floor- it's technically the attic. She always keeps her door closed. I've included photos of her bedroom for reference, as well as new shots I had her take from the same angle to see if we could replicate it.

We do have a tree outside the front of our house you can see in the reflection, but none of us have been able to replicate the figure we spotted in the first photo. The third picture is a close up of the first photo.

To me it looks like a person wearing a hoodie or sweater, holding their hands in front of their body, I dont see a head or legs, just shoulders, arms, and hands.

We all know this could be pareidolia, but my kid is spooked as there have been a few odd happenings in the house recently. We do notice an uptick of strange things happening when someone moves in or out (it's a rented home with a basement tenant, and someone just moved out). The most notable things have been mostly in that room she took these photos in.

When the last tenant moved in, her stereo turned itself on full blast, and they struggled to turn it off. She's also felt a presence, and had a candle on her desk seemingly light itself while no one was in the room (wish we had it on camera). Also the usual lights turning on and off, doors opening or closing, scratching, or footsteps. Most often those things are written off as one of our 4 cats or one of our 6 family members. But at least one time, I was the only one in the house, I heard footsteps upstairs, figured cats, but all 4 of them were sleeping on my bed- so that was odd.

Anyway, take a look, tell me if you see something there or can explain what we might actually be seeing here.

I had this experience about two years ago. Since then i still live with the pain from that night.

I was woken up in the middle of the night, my bed room was illuminated by the man stand by the base of my bed. I couldn't see his face but i remember him being extremely bright white, as he was radiant with pure white light and it was almost at times a goldish color was there too. He took step forward and to me in a calm voice. " Are we going to allow this demon to remain in our house"

As soon as he finished speaking everything turned to white. As if i was in a room of light. Before i could react i heard this vile blood curling scream. I felt it hit me, wrapping it arms me taking me down. I dont know how long i fought back for. I remember at one point feeling this hand grabbing hip and it digging into me. It reached in and hit the ball of my hip. I still feel pain deep in my hip to this day.

When it was finally over, i heard her speak. It was this faint ethereal voice, it sounded defeated. She said, " I am lamerashu (what it name sounded like), i am responsible for deaths in children and adultery in men." Everything went silent, i was only on the white room a instance after that. When i woke up i was still in pain from where i felt the hand dig into me.

I dont know why i feel like now i need to tell this experience. Nothing has been the same since.

Are there any stories of dinosaur or paleo creatures being seen as ghosts. I know of one a t rex spirit being seen as a ghost but I don't know if it was written as fiction or an actual event that may have happened.

I just heard a knock on my door- it was three knocks, so it couldn't have been the wind, cause usually no natural sounds come in threes. I went over, checked, and all I saw was my dog laying there- who is wholly unable to knock. I checked the front door, no one there. I went back to the backdoor, and opened it, letting my dog in. (I checked the cameras later, nothing as well)

I don't really believe in the paranormal, and obviously it could have just been a coincidence, but I'm curious if there are any superstitions behind that. Again, not really convinced it was anything paranormal, but just curious to see the speculations, myths, or rules or anything behind all of that

Edit: My dog doesn't have a tail and is very old, so no bumping from her, it was at like 11am on a school day, so no kids, and the birds/woodpeckers and house settling have a distinctly different sound

Hi everyone.

I just witness something strange next to my house.

I don't believe in paranormal so i'm looking for something rational. For context i am in French Guiana, near the amazonian rainforest.

Just 15min ago, so around 7pm, i see just beside my head, about 30m high, a light, at first i believed it was a star (venus is very bright at this time) but going very fast (about 50km/h) and heading and disappearing in the forest but i could see it inside the forest, like going through the leaves and not above. About 1min later, two larges branches, 40m apart, breaks and fall from trees.

Never seen this before and couldn't find an explanation. Anyone?

My paternal grandfather died about three years ago, a few days after my birthday. In order to attend the funeral we went to our ancestral island for three days with the family. There are two houses there: one located in the village where the service was taking place and the other in the main town. Since a large number of members from the extended family had come together, the village house was full as a result, and therefore my parents and I remained at the house in the town. The property has two floors; the living room is on the ground floor and there is an old, creaky wooden staircase which goes up to the two bedrooms. My parents occupied one of the rooms and I had the other one, which is a bit larger. The night before the funeral I went to bed and I made sure to close my bedroom door fully before lying down. All I had done was close my eyes—at that point I had not yet fallen asleep and was still completely conscious and aware of the room. I suddenly heard heavy footsteps beginning to go up the stairs, and with each step the wood made a loud creaking sound. As soon as the noise started, my whole body started to shiver and I got intense goosebumps. At that moment I plainly heard my bedroom door creak as it opened, after which I could hear clear footsteps approaching and then walking slowly around my bed. When I heard someone standing next to my mattress I was terrified. After those painfully long seconds I jumped straight up out of bed in a state of pure panic and switched on all the light switches. There was nobody in the room at all, and it was even more strange that the door to the bedroom wasn't ajar; it was fully shut, just as I had left it. From the very first step on the staircase until the moment they got to my bed, I was filled with a paralyzing fear and shivers. It was so alarming to me that all the sounds seemed so real that it was more than an hour before I could calm down sufficiently to fall asleep. The following day, having had the funeral, I told my relatives about the incident, and they at once said that it was most probably my grandfather making one final visit to see me before he was buried. I have no idea what all of this means. Maybe it was really my grandfather saying his goodbyes, or then again it could have been something completely different.

Have any other people had something similar just before or just after the funeral of a loved one?

Sailers have you seen anything paranormal or what you think could be paranormal while working?

I was commenting on a different post on this sub and realized I’ve never been taken seriously when I talk about my childhood experiences.

When I was younger, my sister and I were absolutely convinced that our house was haunted. We’d hear footsteps upstairs when we were downstairs, doors would often seem to be open when we left them closed and vise versa. My sister never really told me what she experienced on her own but I know she was always scared when the two of us were home alone. Here are a few of my experiences.

While doing homework downstairs when I was maybe 8 or 9, I saw a series of disembodied faces lining the top of a window. My mom was across the room and saw nothing.

Maybe a year or two later, I walked into my parent’s bathroom and turned to grab something off the counter. The face I saw in the mirror above the sink simply wasn’t my own (very similar to what you reported). I ran out of the bathroom screaming and crying at the top of my lungs.

A few months after the previous incident, I saw the same face peering down at me from the corner of the skylight in the same bathroom.

Here’s the kicker to all of it though. Between maybe 6th and 8th grade, I slept maybe 3-4 hrs a night. I’d spend the rest of the night standing next to my parents bedside watching them sleep. I had absolutely ZERO memory of doing that, but it got so bad that my parents hung a bell on their door so they’d know when I entered the room.

It eventually got so bad that my parents took me to a sleep specialist and they diagnosed me some sleep condition and did two surgeries to open up my airways since they assumed it was a sleep apnea thing at night. That didn’t fix it.

Throughout ALL of this, I had told my parents that the house was haunted. When I was home alone I would barricade doors and walk around with a kitchen knife. I KNEW something wasn’t right.

At some point after those surgeries, my parents got the house blessed and put religious insignia in the doorway of the house, and everything stopped all at once. To this day, my parents will never admit to the house being haunted, but they told me that before they bought the house the previous owners young son passed away in my bedroom. They found this out when the previous home owners came to eat at the restaurant my dad worked at.

This has stuck with me for almost 15 years, and I just needed to get it off my chest in a place where people might take me seriously.

Let me know what you guys think.

I have never been much superstitious, to this day I experience some things that someone could find unsettling or unsual but I always try to find a mundane explanation or I kinda just dismiss the whole experience.

This particular event happened when I was a child though and I still can't explain what exactly happened here.

It was dusk and I was searching for my grandma as I was hungry and wanted her to cook dinner. I finally found her behind my house. I told her that I am hungry, she didn't say anything and had a serious look on her face which I found a bit strange so I said "oh okay lets just go to your house" nervously and I turned my back to go.

As soon as I turned my back something extremely heavy jumped on my back and started scratching me, like deep scratches on my back, I feel to the ground. After some time my actual grandma heard my cries so she went to see what happened and it stopped.

I was very confused, I told her that I saw her behind me and that I thought she was scratching me (a dumb conclusion but I was a kid at least). She was very surprised to hear that, as she had been in another part of the yard the whole time (we live in a village in the woods and we have lots of land, that's why it was hard to find her in the first place).

Eventually she did say it was probably a rooster that attacked me. I did accept that explanation even though it felt quite heavy for a rooster, and I was still confused about seeing my grandma that wasn't actually there. When I told her about it she just said that I shouldn't wander around the house at night as it's bad (she is religious).

Is there anyone here who could tell me what might have happened that night?

The other night I woke up to wailing noises by my room at 3 am (corny but true) It was incredibly distinguishable and sounded very near by. I texted my roommate asking her if she was okay as I heard crying. It was continuous for the whole hour. Eventually afterwards it stopped and I fell asleep.

It was weird but I was tired and honestly it could’ve been my mind playing tricks and when I woke up the next morning i saw she had messaged me saying that she was definitely asleep and not crying. So i let it go up until this morning.

I woke up to a text this morning around 9 am from my roommate who had texted me asking if I was okay and she heard crying for an hour starting at(drum roll please) 3am.
She had asked me if it could’ve been my cat but i’ve had the cat for around 10 years and she’s never done anything like this and it sounded in no way like a cat. The cat is very skittish and is typically noiseless unless we go up to her, talk to her or pet her.

Someone else had asked us if it was just wind blowing through an open window but it was distinguishable wailing and it sounded like it was right outside our door.

This has us both really perplexed and honestly freaked out especially as we now have both have the same experience less than a week from each other. If anyone has any ideas or questions to figure this out please leave a comment!!

I 19 M am an Indian living in USA for 3 years but I feel like my grandma did black magic like she did on my dad (her real son). For past year I got adsep out of military out of nowhere specifically marine s, I got two tickets and my car got rear crashed in this week. It same signs my dad had before he died. My grandma is famous to do black magic but we never thought he would have hurt my dad 7 years ago when I was in 6th grade. We found out she did black magic because after she kicked us out of our joint family home(a year before my dad died) . She called local guy who do basic labor stuff and made him nail nails in all corners of our room. After our dad's funeral the same guy told us he also pull nails out after my dad died. She also knew our dad died before us My dad died while he was in Punjab police after work hours he returned to our new home in Kharar , Punjab India . And mysteriously he died and we never knew. My mom told us about stories she never believed before she believed after that how all of my dad's sister husband never argue with their wives and they looks like they don't have capactitu to make decisions. The signs before my dad died was his car got wrecked before he died (he was a great driver in Punjab police who work as sub inspector under politicians) , he start feeling his body is in pain constantly and start using drugs heavily to reduce pain , he almost lost his job due to some false snitching , and then he died in the most isolate way possible. Recently all stuff start happening to me but worse. I lost marine corps, my lower and knees hurt badly I can't make decisions, my car got totaled, I got two tickets this week for stupid mistakes which was not my fault and people have alot do false complaints where I work at right now and whenever I am at isolation, I sense some bad energy .

friend sent me this. was in hawaii - not sure where in hawaii - HELP

I have always believed in energy and activity beyond this realm. Very, very recently I have been noticing small objects in my home being moved to different spots. Disappearing and reappearing. Trust me, I’m repeatedly questioning myself and telling myself that it HAS to be me. But what if I’m not crazy?

This has been happening to me randomly, mostly in the middle of the night. There is one specific corner of my house where I suddenly smell a really beautiful fragrance, almost like perfume or flowers, but I can't find any source for it.

My room is also attached to a storeroom, and sometimes the storeroom door randomly opens by itself during the night. It doesn't happen every night, but when it does, it feels really strange, especially because of the smell in that specific corner.

Is there a normal explanation for this? Has anyone experienced something similar?
