"ghost cat"

"At the last house we lived in, when the bed in the master bedroom was setup a certain way, some nights it felt like a cat or small dog would jump up and settle in one particular spot toward the foot of the bed."

"I didn't think too much of it but jokingly mentioned having a 'ghost cat' to my husband one time only to find out he had been feeling the exact same thing in the same spot (bc of his schedule we slept at different times). If one has to have a ghost, a sleepy pet ghost is a good choice."

POOF!

"I was riding my bicycle down a narrow path. Maybe 30 meters in front of me was an elderly woman also on a bike. I was going fast and catching up to her quickly. I was a couple of meters from passing her when the path took a right turn and she was out of my sight for a second. I should have been right behind her after I, too, had taken the right turn, so imagine my surprise when she had just... vanished."

"There was an open field to the left, a highly fenced off area (with no gates) to the right and one straight road ahead of us - no trace of her anywhere. I know the area well and there is no way she could have been hidden anywhere. This woman just went POOF and it puzzles me to this day. "

Mom?

"Obligatory background story: my brother passed away a few years back. When my mom and I would visit his grave, a small pinwheel she'd put out there would spin. My mom swore that it would spin any time she'd visit. I never disagreed, as it would be rude to do so. But I didn't believe in anything like that. However! Recently, I went to visit him- and I guess I was feeling bitter and cynical."

"So I said something along the lines of 'I'm not an idiot, I know that thing will spin no matter what. You're not here anymore.' Mind you - it was WINDY outside. And the thing just stopped spinning. Just stopped completely. I was shocked and cried for a little bit. I have no idea what it meant, or if I'm thinking about it too hard."

AHHHHHHH!!!!

"Hearing a gruff man's voice next to my bed when playing video games with my then current girlfriend. We both heard it. We both lost our crap."

​I was 21.....

"I was 21, looking for a new apartment/room to rent, and had an appointment in the morning to meet a guy I found on Craigslist who was renting out a room. I told my mom that I had an appointment the next day. That night I had a dream that I went to the house, he led me inside and showed me the room, and then when I walked past this stairwell that led to a basement, he pushed me down the stairs."

"Then he tied me to a bed. I woke up sweaty and obviously freaked out. I looked at my phone and my mom had sent me a text a few minutes before saying 'I'm having a weird feeling - don't go to that guys house, he's bad' Not sure if supernatural like ghosts or just intuition, but it certainly felt like something was keeping me from going there. I didn't go obviously."

shaved...

"I was in my room and headed to my parents bedroom, from the edge of my vision I saw my brother siting on the couch so I kept walking, then I remembered my brother doesn't have a shaved head. I looked back and there was no one there."

The Window Witness...

"I took a picture of my parents with one of their friend's phone while we were all playing cards one night. Looking at the screen to line up the shot I saw nothing weird. As soon as I took the pic an old man in a flannel sweater was standing behind them staring out the window."

Haunted Unit.

"A patient walked out of his ICU room after he had just died and looked around. Out of my peripheral vision. When I turned my head he was gone."

"Edit: the patient coded right as I got on shift and died within the hour, so I wasn't especially tired. He came in as a doe, most likely homeless, so there was no family in the room. I was the nurse so I was sitting close by, didn't see anyone else go in there nor would anyone have a reason to except me the morgue hadn't arrived yet cuz post-mortem care was not done."

"He was staying in the room known to ALL the nurses on the unit as 'haunted' because the call light would go off or the bed alarm would go off frequently when it was empty. Out of the periphery of my vision I cant be sure but it did not look like he was wearing a gown, it looked like he had on street clothes. He was a young guy with a big, long blonde beard, so it was an easily identifiable attribute. Before i would joke along that room was haunted, now i believe it is."

when I was out of my imaginary friend stage.....

"When i was very young, i had an 'imaginary friend' named Samantha."

"I vividly remember playing dolls and stuff with her and all that kinda stuff. One day when I was like five or so, I asked her why she would never be at my moms (my parents are divorced and have been forever) and Sam's responded with something along the lines 'i can't your mother will remember me, don't talk to her about me' and me being young and stupid was just like, okay :) and went back to playing with dolls."

"So after awhile I remembered this (when I was out of my imaginary friend stage) and I talked to my mom about it, she got terrified and made me shut up right then and there. After awhile longer, we finally talked about it. In high-school my mom had a friend who committed suicide, her name was Samantha. After that I've always believed in supernatural stuff."

When in Ireland

"I lived in the middle of nowhere in Ireland growing up. A friend and I were camping outside in our field. We hear this singing in the middle of the night. My friend unzips the tent and looks out, he wakes me up and tells me to come look. There, in the middle of the field is a woman. Pure white skin, blonde hair, dress made of some really light flowing fabric... tunic like."

"She's walking slowly across the field singing in Gaelic. I still have everything burned in my mind, from how she looked to how she sounded. Her voice was light but yet kind of raspy. Everything about her was ephemeral. My friend wanted to go talk to her, I pulled him back into the tent and we ended up hiding in our sleeping bags till the next morning."

"I'm almost 100% sure it was a fae, we were too far away from other people for it to have been a random person. Another one is I saw a ball of light over a nearby field another night, it hovered about 10ft off the ground and then sped off over the field ridiculously fast. Then it disappeared into a hedge. No idea what it was."

"I'm a skeptic when it comes to ghosts, aliens, monsters etc... but I'm a believer when it comes to the Fae. Those fuckers are real, and they ain't the little tinkerbell like things. Fae are tall, beautiful and dangerous."

In Jamaica...

"I was in Jamaica, and I got lost and it was getting dark this one night out of nowhere this guy comes with a cart and he's selling legumes. Well it was crazy cause he told me things about myself that there's no way he could have known. So I buy some. I turn the corner, I feel like an idiot, so I go back to get my money... He was gone. I ended up trading Professor Copperfields Miracle Legumes for a telescope."

We’re like wtf again?

"Pretty tame but weird My dad wasn’t home and it was just me, my sister, and my mom. This was during the day and the way our living room was arranged you could see into the dining room. The dining room light was off but out of nowhere it turned on. All three of us were in the living room and no one else was home."

"We’re like wtf? After a few minutes it turned off. We’re like wtf again? It happened a few times and my mom commented that it was her deceased brother (died as a teenager- I did not know him) looking over us. My sister said something like 'well tell him to stop that' and the light immediately turned back off and didn’t turn back on again. There is probably some kind of more reasonable explanation but it was weird and kinda creepy."

Bruises

"I woke up to seeing multiple shadows all around me and one on my chest holding my arms down, I woke up the next morning thinking it was a dream until I saw two bruises on my wrist like something had been holding them very tightly."

The White Butterfly

"I know I already made a post but I also have another story, but isn't exactly mine. It's more interesting than creepy**.** So basically my family heavily believes that- when someone passes away, they come back as something else. On my grandpa's last day, he said he would come back as a white butterfly."

"He knew exactly when he was going to die, he may have been somewhat psychic... A few days before; his doctor told him he would pass away in 2-3 days, but he corrected him saying he would die in 5 days (exact)... and he did just that. ((The following is what my grandma told me))."

"I was about 5 or 6 around the time, the rest of my family and I were quite devastated when he died. But as we were leaving the hospital, the most interesting thing happened in front of my grandma's eyes. Apparently little 5-6 year old me was surrounded by white butterflies, being the giggly child I was- I was laughing at all the butterflies around me. Just as my grandpa said before dying, he'd come back as a white butterfly."

"So this was confirming our belief that people come back as something else after death. My grandma said that the butterflies just disappeared into thin air before her and my aunt's eyes. (Yes my aunt saw it all too, they both recently talked about it) I'm almost 17 now and so many things are increasing my beliefs in the supernatural. The rest of my family too also believes in it."

Hey Rabbits...

"Driving through the middle of nowhere New Mexico in the middle of the night, suddenly came upon hundreds and hundreds of rabbits on the sides of the road and in the median, for a good stretch, but not a single on one the roadway, alive or roadkill, on either side of the road. Freaked me the f**k right out."

STOP!!

"I always kind of entertained the idea of the paranormal, but my first experience really solidified that belief. I live in a rural countryside with lots of wildlife. Anyway, it was late at night, and I was driving down the road a little faster than I should be, when my dad shouts, 'STOP!'"

"So I slammed on my brakes and this massive elk sized deer runs in front of the road. Thing is, my dad's been dead for a few years. Where I'm short and have to sit so close to the steering wheel, I'm sure I would have died if I hit the deer. I pulled to the side of the road and cried."

"How did that chair get there?"

"My husband and I were house shopping and were in this 100+ year old house with a realtor. We entered through the front door. Nobody was there but the 3 of us and nobody was living there at the time. We looked around quickly, spending no more than 3-4 minutes before deciding we weren't interested."

"When we got to the front door to leave, there was a big rocking chair blocking it (on the inside). My husband moved it without saying anything. I said to the broker 'How did that chair get there?' She just shook her head indicating she didn't want to discuss it and we all walked to the car in silence."

'click'

"This will probably get lost in the thread but it was when my wife was about 7 months pregnant, we were both in the bedroom and she asked me to turn off the bedside light. I was about 5 or 6 feet away from it, and she was sprawled out all pregnant like on the bed, within a few moments of her asking me, the light turned off. We both heard the 'click' of it too... we just kinda shrugged it off but it still weirds me out to this day."

Horror

"Moving shadows that weren't being cast by anything. Creepy. And the way my cat would look at them in utter horror. And anytime the shadow was around, the fire alarm kept going off. Also speakers that weren't plugged in would start playing static noise."
