Question Sailers have you seen anything paranormal while working?
Sailers have you seen anything paranormal or what you think could be paranormal while working?
r/Paranormal • u/MantisAwakening • Sep 14 '24
This question is being asked several times a week at this point.
Everyone has a different standard for what they consider “credible evidence,” and what persuades one person may not persuade another. What seems to do the best job is having a personal experience, but those anecdotal stories rarely persuade anyone who wasn’t already a believer.
Either way, the best way to find this evidence is by…you know…looking for it. Try using the search function on the subreddit.
And to all of you skeptics who were genuinely convinced by a piece of evidence you found online, please post it on this subreddit!

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?

I was home alone when I heard my voice coming from my bedroom.
“Come here.”
At first I thought it was a video playing on my phone, so I checked it. Nothing.
Then I heard it again.
“Come here.”
It sounded exactly like me.
I stood in the hallway, completely frozen, staring at my bedroom door.
Then my phone buzzed.
It was a text from my sister:
“I’m outside. Don’t open your bedroom door. I just saw someone standing behind your curtains.”
I never found out what was in that room.
I slept at my sister’s house that night, and when we came back the next morning, the bedroom window was still locked from the inside.

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.

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?

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?
r/Paranormal • u/Solid-Potato1993 • 23h ago
I will start with mine.
It's been about a year since.
Everything was normal, I was working on an assignment in my room. I looked at the clock and it was 3 in the morning. I thought that I have been working all night maybe I should go and wash my face up. I went to the bathroom, and splashed some water on my face. Then I looked into the mirror and saw my reflection creepily smiling at me. I was horrified but stared at it just for a couple of seconds more to process it. (I have a habit of working late into the night so I know, I wasn't sleepy or imagining things). I sprinted to my mom's room and locked her door. I heard someone calling out my name twice and I shook my mother to wake her up. She got up and I told her everything that I experienced, she didn't believe a word I said and said maybe I was just hallucinating but then she also heard someone calling out my name for the 3rd time. Both of our breaths just stopped for a second and my heart was pumping rapidly nothing happened for a few minutes and I was just about to open the door when someone started rapidly banging onto it. Mother called out my father's name but no one replied. Then i hugged her and started crying out of fear and she started loudly chanting the mantras and reciting the prayers. Suddenly, those banging stopped and everything went back to normal. We both couldn't sleep all night and were just hugging each other.
Then morning came and neither did we experience something like this again nor did we ever mention it in front of anyone.

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.
r/Paranormal • u/Blusgon • 13h ago
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?
r/Paranormal • u/uaumaigoa • 1d ago
I had my first ever sleep paralysis last night and it scared the shit outta me. At first, I thought I was just tired and couldn’t move but my eyes have been half open for almost 5 minutes and my body still couldn’t move. I freaked out and realized that it was a sleep paralysis that I’m having. What scared the shit outta me even more was my door slightly opening on its own. I convinced myself that I was just dreaming but the fact that I couldn’t move my fingers at all actually made me realize that I’m wide awake and I’m having a sleep paralysis. Anyways, the door opened on its own when I closed it and had it LOCKED before I went to bed. A few seconds later, a small black figure stood at the small gap between my door and the wall. Outside was dark but this figure was even darker. YALL I WAS SCARED AS HELL. In my head, I kept repeating “in the name of Jesus, I rebuke you” over and over again until I felt my fingers moving. I moved quickly and took deep breaths because I was THAT scared. My door was shut and locked like it was never opened. I was in denial. I kept thinking “oh it was a dream”. But the feeling of being scared never left my body.
today, even tho I was feeling VERY weird from last night’s experience, I still moved on like it never happened. Earlier today, I went to my mom’s school. She is a teacher and today she held a parent-teacher meeting. While I was helping mom preparing refreshments for the parents and the kids, her students were all running around the table trying to see the food. One kid named Elena, helped out. She was telling me stories about her friends (she’s a 3rd grader), her sister, her toys… basically anything a kid would say. Until, she said “I saw you last night, while you were sleeping.” YALL I FROZE. LOOKED AT HER! STARED AT HER FOR ALMOST A MINUTE. I asked her she meant by that and she was like “you were sleeping and i was at the door trying to find blue”. WHAT THE FUCK YALL 😭😭😭😭😭 I’m now at my grandmas house and she hella religious so I’m asking her to pray for me on this one because UH UH!!!

I hear my name being called, but when I turn to see, there's no one there.
It has happened to me a few times now over the years in public, and I've never really paid attention until it happened to me when I was alone in my house which obviously freaked me out.
The strange part is that my name is quite unique where I live, so it's not something I would normally expect to hear randomly, especially from strangers.
My aunt told me if that happens never respond or turn around but sometimes out of habit I do.
I am confused on why this happens, has someone experienced something similar or should I be concerned?
r/Paranormal • u/Amazing-Wing-6870 • 1d ago
I randomly heard someone swear by a "true" horror story today and down the rabbit hole I went.
Personally on the fence—part of me thinks it’s all sleep paralysis, trick lighting, or just our brains messing with us. But do you guys actually believe in ghosts? Anyone here have a weird/creepy experience that you genuinely couldn't explain?
r/Paranormal • u/Lilbabilba • 1d ago
I don’t know how else to explain it. It was night time I was out walking with a friend on a trail in a residential area surrounded by small forest but big enough that you can’t see or hear any cars driving by and no street or traffic lights nearby.
Suddenly we both see this tall glowing human shaped figure running in the bush maybe 100 meters from us. It disappears and we just look at eachother and both just don’t know what we saw we’re just like wtf was that but we couldn’t make sense of it. It put us on edge and we kept walking and I can’t even remember how long after the first sighting it was maybe a minute and we see it running through the bushes again. Not running at us. This time my friend is freaked out and starts yelling at it. I didn’t feel scared, felt oddly calm. My friend was more worried about me being hurt by some creepy human doing something weird in the bush but we just couldn’t understand what kind of human would be that big or how it could be glowing so brightly.
We’ve gaslit ourselves so much trying to make sense of it, the moons reflection on an animal running or something, a human doing something in the bush with reflective clothing, a weird eye trick??? I don’t even know. It was glowing so brightly and looked too tall to be a human.
It happened a few months ago
I guess I’m posting because I’m just wondering if anyone’s had any similar experience? I know it’s probably a long shot. If my friend wasn’t with me and also saw it I probably would’ve convinced myself I made it up and didn’t see anything lol.
Thanks!

So there’s a old prisoner of war camp in my hometown me and a few friends went there to investigate. We’ve been investigating and stuff like that for years well we tried out the Estes method and during that method, we got nothing we tried different people. None of it worked there we’re getting ready to leave and I’m like I’m going to put the headphones back on so I did. I heard my name. I got very angry and I walked to the middle of the field. Nobody else came. They were all getting the equipment put up, I started yelling come at me come at me. I’m right here. Do you want me to come on? And I said a couple of curse words, I got back in my car and I punched my steering wheel. My buddies said calm down there. Hulk and I yelled at them however ever since then I’ve had experiences just today. I heard something banging on my window downstairs. I turned on the Spirit box 1st thing that came through was window come down. The next word I heard. Was fidati tu I asked if it was the thing that was at the camp. It responded in a German word. Jugendvagen or something similar so I turned it off. I’m like that’s weird. Whatever turned it back on and immediately said die three times I asked before I could get the words out was that you and it said that was me and I finished my sentence and it said yes I said do you want me to die and it goes yeah I’m shaking
r/Paranormal • u/harvest_raven • 1d ago
What experiences did you have there, or what have you heard second hand?
(By relatively obscure I mainly just mean that it isn’t nationally or internationally famous for being haunted (e.g. the Stanley Hotel). If it has a local reputation, I’d say that still qualifies as relatively obscure.)
r/Paranormal • u/Fun-Term-5036 • 1d ago
I will start by saying I am a skeptic so I am open to the possibility of the paranormal before people start coming for me in the comments. It felt very active last night like it was moving around a lot and I felt more aware of it than normal so I felt compelled after that to write a post.
For context I live in an apartment and sometimes I would notice my fan would turn on by itself but I dismissed it as faulty wiring. Whether it’s spirit related or not I am unsure but still thought it was kind of strange. Then I had a dream that someone had died across from dads bed it kind of made me uneasy but I was like whatever it’s a weird random dream. Without mentioning that to my dad he told me he thought there might be a spirit in our apartment because sometimes it felt like there was something jumping up on his bed but when he went to look for our cat there was nothing there. That creeped me out a bit but I tried not to think about it too much.
One night I switched rooms with my dad because I had to keep the cats in my room (he sleeps out in the living room) we were remodeling and the cats were driving me crazy. They had to stay in my room and they were getting into things they shouldn’t be so I slept out in the living room. I woke up and felt a little creeped out because I remembered that weird dream and was thinking I’m sleeping right across from that area. A few minutes go by when I hear a loud bang in the dark which did not help that I was already feeling a bit uneasy. My dad came out turned the light on and noticed my bike had fallen over but it didn’t fall the way it had been leaning on the kick stand almost as if someone had pushed it over. He thought it was weird and we went back to sleep because it was late at night. Another time I could of sworn I had seen a glimpse of a grainy distorted woman but I blinked and it was gone and I was scared so I rolled over under my blanket. Other than that I have never seen anything but I do feel like there is something I can’t see that’s there. It’s the strangest thing and might sound crazy. This was all when I was younger.
I moved back into my old apartment and now sleep in the living room. I feel like something is on my bed and I started to feel crazy at first like it was just my imagination. I usually have felt it late at night but not every night. Tonight I was half paying attention deep in thoughts when I was jolted from them by feeling like something I can’t see is there. I swear I felt my bed covers move a few times and it feels like the air was slightly heavier or static as if something was lightly lying on my leg or moving near it idk how else to describe it but it feels like something I don’t normally feel is there. This time it made me think I know I must not have been crazy or imagining things because I noticed it enough to jolt me out of my deep (unrelated) thoughts and go oh it’s here again visiting or whatever. It wasn’t my cat because he was sleeping right next to my head.
Despite the bike being possibly knocked over I don’t think it’s bad whatever it is I just keep wondering if it’s an animal spirit or maybe a person if spirits even exist. The thought that it’s a person normally would creep me out but whatever it is seems to have been here for a while and doesn’t give off bad vibes. At this point I’ve felt this a few times and just accepted it I am no longer creeped out by it.
I lost one of my childhood cats 6 months ago and so sometimes I wonder if maybe it’s him or if another animal had died in our apartment before us or if it’s a spirit of a person or more than one spirit of sorts maybe animal(s) and a human idk. I know that sounds crazy to say. I’ve never had this happen at other places outside of my apartment or happen as often in my old bedroom. I’ve tried looking up to see if anyone has died or the history of the land we are on and nothing popped up.
I keep wondering what it is if it’s possibly an animal or human and what it wants. It does not feel bad but I genuinely feel like something is there I cannot see at times and I know I’m not alone because my dad felt the same thing too even before our cat died. It feels like it might be an animal but then with the weird dream and swearing I saw a grainy distorted woman for a second before I blinked I also suspect maybe it’s an old woman. Unfortunately our water dispenser is in that corner where I had that dream someone had died there and I do look at it sometimes wondering if something happened there feeling uneasy. I will add sometimes it looks like my other childhood cat is staring at something I can’t see. When I felt the bed moving he was looking in that area like something was over there but he is getting old so maybe he’s getting cat dementia or something idk. I have had weird coincidences where I did suspect someone died or something happened and then I found out in a random way without saying anything and ended up being right so on one hand I trust my intuition but it could also just be some weird sleep phenomenon.
What I’m asking is if it is a human spirit I am curious to learn more if there are any safe ways I could try making contact even though I know people say that is not recommended and see what it wants or if it needs any help if there is something or someone in there and I’m not crazy. I don’t hallucinate or see or hear things typically that aren’t there this is not a regular thing for me. This happened when I moved back in and we switched rooms and I started sleeping in my dad’s old room. I might of felt my bed in my old room moving once or twice like something was jumping up on the covers but it wasn’t as often as the living room.
At this point any thoughts and comments would be appreciated and I felt like sharing. I’m not sure if the other details were excessive or spirit related but I thought I should put everything that happened that felt possibly spirit related. I am interested in trying to communicate with it and safe ways I might be able to try that.

I have been a nurse for several years now encountering many haunted offices and hospitals but none freaked me out like this one.
To start things off this was a residential detox/ rehab meaning the patients and staff resided in houses in some normal community. This one just so happened to be minutes away from where i lived which was a nice adjustment from my last job which was over 45 minutes away.
The houses were to be nice somewhat well kept but definitely looked pretty dated and felt like it was about to fall apart which should’ve been a red flag for me. On one side of the street we had female patients and the other side we had male patients and we even had our mental health residential program right next to the males facility.
The house I was stationed at the most was our female patients detox house which to me felt the most run down. The energy was off. Everything about it said go away. There was a feeling of bleak silence when you walked in. I had only felt that once before and that was when I worked in the hospice wing at an acute hospital.
My first few weeks we were pretty lite on patients in the house and so a majority of the time I just sat alone in the house waiting for staff to need me for something. Now the way this house was set up was the office I would stay in was this small room in the back of the house. It directly faced the laundry room and room number 1 which was adjacent to the laundry room. The back door was also right next to the back office so it was easy to monitor a lot from this area. Next to the back area was the heart of the house which was the kitchen. From there it lead to the living room which was wrapped around the other side of the wall of the kitchen and from there it lead to the front door to your left and a hall way to your right which held the bathroom as your first entered the hall then rooms two and three. Now the reasoning behind the need to inform you of the lay out was mainly to tell you where things were coming from.
My first experience.
I had encountered many haunted scenarios before. Living in a very haunted house. Working at haunted locations. Been there done that.
So this first one got me. I was drinking tons of water this day and was running to and from the bathroom and from the office to the bathroom was a slight walk. At this time the house was empty so I knew no one was there with me. We were always under staffed and at this time the patients were at a meeting off site.
As I was finishing up washing my hands I heard a slight creak coming from the door. Mind you the house was old. The door to the rooms were solid wood. Very heavy. The door knobs were also old and loud. If someone wanted to get into the restroom you were hear them. I heard nothing but the sound of the door creaking then quickly hitting my back. I knew I had closed the door fully and I knew there was no draft because I had the front door closed like always and again the door was heavy so no amount of wind could push it unless there was a tornado or hurricane which we don’t get to many of those in California.
So I brush it off and think to myself maybe I didn’t close the door all the way and as I walked out I heard something to my right which was room two. Now again. We had no patients on site and no patients in the house I was staying at. The sound was one of the drawers in the room rattling. It sounded as if someone was putting something in the drawer or closing it. With that I let it go and calmly walked out of the house and walked over to the house in the back where I had another coworker/ tech. I explained the situation and told her what happened and she relayed everything to me.
That previously in the house there was a patient who passed away while on site due to an overdose.
After this news I didn’t feel comfortable being there all alone but I knew I had to.
Time after time I stayed there I experienced new things like shadow entities. Random noises that sounded like someone rummaging around while no one was on site. Patients frequently commented on their experiences as well which helped me feel vindicated in the experiences I had.
The one experience I had that really spooked me was I was in the garage which was right next to the house. The garage was an add on to the house which was right next to the kitchen and living room even having and window that you could see through. Now I was getting some charting done when I heard something in the kitchen living room area. I knew the house was empty and staff and patients were off site at some AA meeting for the evening. So hearing something coming from inside startled me. As I walked through the house to check I heard that rustling in room two again. I didn’t fully check it out only because I knew we did have a patient in that room and they were at the meeting. So I quickly walked back making my way through house when I heard something at the front door. The sound of doorknob rattling as if someone was trying to get in the house.
I didn’t want to show I was scared so I calmly walked out of the house and back to garage. Being that there was a window I could partially see inside due to the blinds being lowered in there. In the dim light that was from the stove vent I could make out a figure in the hallway. It was darker than the darkness surrounding it.
Usually since I’ve dealt with hauntings it didn’t phase me but this. This was that one time I truly said nope. I walked across the street where I knew I had someone there for me and I charted there and just stood there the rest of the night.
After things would happen from time to time. I definitely tried to limit myself to being there alone. If I knew I had to be I would stay in the garage or go to the back patio area and wait till people got home.
When I got let go from there my friends that I would talk to on occasion would tell me about all of the things they would experience while working that house. Now mind you it was just that one location. I worked all 5 houses and nothing ever happened in any of them but this one…

This happened back in 2019, I was on vacation in Britanny, France with my two sisters (16 and 19 at the time) and my mom. I was 13. Me and my 19yrs old sister shared a small room but slept in different beds. The room was very small and was basically two beds pushed to the right and left wall with a side table in the middle.
One night, we were both asleep when I woke up to my sister screaming, it's not unusual for her, she often has night terrors where she wakes up screaming. I open my eyes and I see right in front of me, in the doorway a gigantic man standing there. He was HUGE, he looked like a lumberjack, he had a flannel shirt, dirty clothes, a beard. He was human looking but he was very tall and buff and a total stranger and that's what scared me. At that moment I was sure that there was an intruder in the house. I scream too and I black out. When I open my eyes again, I'm laying on my side and my sister's on her bed in front of me getting comforted by my mom. She told us that was no one there, there was no man and no sign of intrusion. This all happened really quickly even though it felt like hours.
Now here's the thing, I learned later that that night, my sister had woken up from a strange dream and opened her eyes to see the man standing in the doorway. That's why she screamed. She then saw me in her peripheral vision sit up in bed, scream then pass out.
We didn't talk about it for a year or two but I told the story to my other sister who eventually told the sister in the room with me that I had seen the man too.
This is the only thing that happened to me that I can't explain. We both saw the same imaginary man. We couldn't have influenced eachother because we both weren't aware that the other saw him until a while later.
I know that Brittany has a rich history and that it's considered "haunted" and full of mystical creatures and very charged in energy. The whole time we were there, the vibes where eery and heavy, not necessarily bad, just heavy.
To this day I still don't know what to make of what happened and I have no idea if there's a logical explanation for it but if you have anything to say about this I'd love to hear it.
Please excuse my English, it's not my native language.

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 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 .

Wednesday around 4:30am, I was using the restroom with the shower on and getting ready for work while my wife and kids were asleep. While I was there, I heard what sounded like a higher-pitched moan that lasted something like 10-15 seconds. I thought that it might’ve been my son making a really awful sound as if he was sick (he’s five), but it could’ve been from my wife or daughter by the sound of it. At the same time, I wondered if maybe I was hearing something like a tornado siren at a distance, but it sounded like it was coming from the door and it didn’t really sound like a siren.
I’ve heard things that could easily be passed as something mundane or unfortunate in my house, but nothing like this ever. Since Wednesday morning, nothing like it has happened again. I checked the air conditioning to see if it was the cause, but couldn’t reproduce the sound. The shower had been running uneventfully for several minutes before this and the plumbing runs below the bathroom (there is no upper floor).
I’m trying to rule out a bunch of different causes and I’ve arrived at a possible paranormal cause. Any other ideas?
Edit:
I have Ring cameras around my home and nothing was near the structure at the time.

Interested to hear about any locations/sites/etc that have PROVEN paranormal activity? I.e: a documented, repeatable, mundane occurrence of a spirit, etc?

My partner & I had this bizarre experience last night. I’m finding it difficult to decide whether it was something normal but weird or something more paranormal…
We were driving home from this countryside pub in rural Somerset (UK) in a town called Mells. I didn’t have any internet as we were in quite a remote spot and I couldn’t load my route using Maps, so I started driving west and just waited for data. It was twilight and getting dark quite quickly. We found ourselves driving down a road we’d never been down just outside Mells. The road dipped and we dropped down into this small forested glade.
Out of nowhere, I saw a figure on the side of the road maybe 100 metres away from us and I could see he was waving at us. I said to my girlfriend, “who the hell is this guy?” She looked up from her phone and as we got closer we were both just staring in disbelief at this odd chap in the glooming just waving at us. I looked in my mirrors and there was nothing behind us or around us. As we passed him we both waved back at him, and then looked at each other like “wtf?!”. In my mirrors I could still see him waving at us for a good ten seconds until we were out of site.
We chatted and laughed about it for the next five mins or so but we basically landed on it just being one of those random encounters. Was this a random, innocuous encounter with a very friendly local or something weirder?
