Paranormal experiences and story

[sleepandeatallday]

I am boreeeed and I am recently reading a horror webnovel. So I was wondering if anyone ever had paranormal or weird experience that is creepy or just strange.

I do have one experience to share. I'd share if you would!

let's tell each other our spooky or strange experiences! It doesn't have to be paranormal.

 

[Nevafrost]

Not an experience exactly but I do have lots of paranormal sleeping and dreaming experiences.

Spoiler: Copied from another thread

I saw I was climbing up a mountain with a middle aged lady and a middle aged man. There were two different stairs to climb up. We took the same stair. We went uphill and wandered around. Finally, I sat on the edge of the mountain and, it was sooo high. I was staring at the people down the hill. I felt someone leaning against me and I shoved them away. I didn’t see anything. But, then, the man who came up with me started going down the stairs. I didn’t understand anything as to why everyone else was in a rush (there were a lot of people other than us). I looked down to see a dead body of a woman. I shook my head and it was blurry.
Then, the dream casted to another scene Where I was going somewhere in a car. Just then, I saw someone I know in another car and he waved at me and, he asked me to stop the car. The car didn't stop and it went towards a children's park which looked exactly the same as one of that mountain. The car stopped and I got off. That man also reached there and he was running away from me. I chased after him. I chased and chased. Then, he finally stopped and in front of him was a painting. He turned the painting towards me and it was me and that lady.(I didn’t see her face up until then) I saw her face and wailed out. I cried. I actually cried and woke up from the dream. This was the only time I cried while dreaming. I was sobbing even after waking up.

Also, I used to have way too many sleep paralysis back then.

You just wait...I'll just buy some medicines. I have stories to tell when I come back.

 

[MajorKerina]

I have a ton of sleep paralysis stuff that freaks me out mostly it's like the doorway of my bedroom darkening when it seems like I'm awake I've also seen flashes of light. Nothing truly unexplainable but enough to put in my stories and try to exorcise from my brain.

Not me, but apparently my sister experienced one.

I live in South Asia, here heat is just unbearable in summer. So what we used to do is, we used to open our front door and lock the grills and sleep.
And this was a daily thing. We also used to live in an apartment, so we didn't care about intruders. But apparently around 3, my sister woke up. And she wanted to go to the bathroom, but didn't. As she spotted someone's leg behind the grills, we were sleeping on a straw mat since it was better than a bed. And she spotted those legs moving around. He left after 30 mins or so and never returned. This is what my sister told me.

 

[Nevafrost]

I once woke up to the sound of thunder, like really loud thunderstorm. It was winter. I opened my eyes and saw everything was a mess, mom lying beside me but she wasn’t awake as she should have been. The noise was so loud as if the land was engulfing us and the whole building was shaking. I thought there was an earthquake and I started praying (lol what else was I supposed to do? We ain't escaping a crazy earthquake during a storm). Then I woke up. My whole body felt like it was burnt, literally burnt. I was sweating a lot but there was no thunderstorm or earthquake.

 

[Hans.Trondheim]

I've told this story before in my profile page, but this is as recent as last year.

See, our school has a computer laboratory, where we keep all our computer-related equipment and gadgets. Together with two other teachers, I took up office in this room--a small division where a rattan divider marked our private space. The rest of the room is open space which we can convert into a computer-equipped class, or conference area, depending on the necessity.

Now then, there's this one day where I was busy with school stuff. That was around late into the afternoon (3pm to 4pm), and a few of my students met me at the grounds outside the computer room. As the Philippines is one tropical hot hell-hole, our students loved to stay by air-conditioned areas in the school, one of which was our computer laboratory.

Our conversation went like this...

Student 1: "Hi Sir Hans! We have nothing else to do!"
Me: "What are you doing here, then? Why are you not in your classroom?"
Student 2: "It's hot there, Sir! Can we stay by the comlab? (COMputer LABoratory)"
Me: "Ah, sure!"

As I had something else to do before going back to our comlab, I told them to go ahead of me. I went straight to my other class and gave them some instructions for class later that day. Then, after that, I went straight to the comlab.

It was relatively dark by then, for my other co-teachers either went home or in their respective classes. We would turn off the lights whenever the afternoon sun is shining bright, but the room is relatively dark with lights out. When I entered, it was quiet, but, I saw someone's hand waving at me through the rattan divider.

As I like to play pranks with my students, I planned on surprising them as I walked to the rattan divider. Then, lo and behold, as I came to our private area, I was shocked to see that no one was there. Not a single soul.

If so, then whose hand was waving at me?

Alarmed, I went to the small faculty of the Science department, which was immediately to my right side. A co-teacher was there, hidden. I asked her, "Ma'am, is there anyone here?"

"No, sir. I'm completely alone! Why?"

Unnerved, I told this story to my fellow co-teachers in my subject department. One of them told me that earlier that day, another co-teacher from the very same Science faculty got locked by herself (with the lock on her side) and had to call out for someone's help via Facebook messenger because the door just won't open.

And really, that door also has a reputation to open even if I lock it securely. It didn't help that our CCTV camera in the room would detect movements in the middle of the wee hours of the morning (1am to 3am), and our guards would tell us stories of them hearing children playing in the corridors in the middle of the night (and everyone has gone home).

Addendum: btw, about the door, I just experienced another unexplained thing about it as recent as yesterday. It was around 7pm, and some of my students were fixing a few articles for the school newspaper. I already turned off many of the equipment as we prepare to leave for the day. I also checked everything was in order, including this door to the Science department, which I ensured it was locked properly.

Then, as I watched my students, I noticed it was open again. My students said that I quit playing pranks on them, but I told them how I can play pranks when I feel sick (even now, because of pneumonia).

I got more uncanny experiences, but I'll stop here for now so as not to 'dilute' my stories.

I used to pass by the playground for the kindergartners every now and then back in highschool. Most of the time the swing was swinging by itself when nobody was even there. There was no strong winds there since it's inside the building. That's my paranormal experience.

 

[Bayleyrockstar]

All my life. But there are a few moments that stand out as obviously paranormal. I've been to several mediums in my youth, who all claim I'm some sort of 'natural psychic' if you believe in that. Because my parents got tired of me complaining about these experiences. I'm still skeptical about all of it, but for a baseline, I do believe ghosts exist.

Anyways. Once when I was 10, I was playing in the living room with me parents in the same room. Their vision of me was blocked by a couch, in which I was playing behind, building a house out of toy logs. When all of a sudden, I felt someone push my shoulders, forcing me ot fall forward, and hurting myself on the house I was making.

After that, for about a few years, my room, which the doorway was in a stairwell, would mysteriously have a cool breeze pass in and out of it (my room was naturally cold, even in summer, so this could merely be caused by a temperature differential), like someone was breathing. And at night, I swear I would hear footsteps in the stairwell at night, like an adult was walking around, where they would stop right in the doorway, but I don't remember seeing anyone.

Though, and this is the creepy part, I apparently told my parents I saw a family of four in the doorway, two kids, a boy and a girl, and their parents. I have no memory of ever telling them this. And only found out when they hired paranormal experts (and the first 'Medium'). Who started asking me questions about the family, and I could suddenly recall what they looked like perfectly. (I have mental problems that cause me to have trouble remembering faces and names.)

I have a few more stories, many of which are more easily explained, but these are perhaps the most unexplainable. And these experiences stopped once I moved out of that house to live with other family.

wait, so someone was hiding behind the grills?

no no no! Tell me more! What are your theories about the door?

 

[c37]

Could be, maybe he tried picking the lock.

 

[sleepandeatallday]

As for me... I don't have much paranormal experience except that one time when I was alone in the hotel on a school trip. I was on 3rd floor. The corridor lights were all dim and dark. I pressed for the elevator which was on the ground floor and watched it tracked it with the panel that showed which floor it was on.... ground floor, first floor, 2nd floor and then the elevator door opened and the bright light from the elevator shined in the dark silent corridors but then I still saw the panel and it was stating that the elevator is still on the 2nd floor... and I was befuddled why if the elevator is on 2nd floor, what is in front of me then. So I stood there for a long time thinking about whether I should go in or not. Numerous possibilities in my mind if it's something paranormal or a technical glitch... and then I concluded let's not take the risk and use the stairs and as I took the first step down the staircase it suddenly hit me that the elevator doors did not close... not even once did the sensor was triggered. The door should have automatically closed.... I would know cause earlier that day, I had trouble loading my luggage inside it cause the doors would close every 30 seconds.... but not then. The doors remained open and inviting all that time I stood there staring at it.

I still don't know if it was a technical error or something paranormal

 

[Hans.Trondheim]

What theory? There's no theory other than this thing was trolling us in that little space of our school.

Spoiler: This thing

A little background of that pic. That came from my subject department head, from their 2019 Halloween; I was hired in their school back in August 2023. She said there's no student or teachers' kids in the school at that time because the event is for teachers only. Yet, that photo has a 'child' in the background.

We think that's the entity going around the school. The computer laboratory in my story was the room at the upper left side (windows with green grills are visible at the second floor; almost cut from the camera).

 

[sleepandeatallday]

I have one more uncanny experience. It's not paranormal but... it's still strange.

So, I was the rainbow baby for my parents. My mom had 3 miscarriages before me. So, my family was so distraught that they went to this random goddess temple in the middle of this forest to ask for a baby and well I was safely born. So my parents always consider me lucky, cause shortly after I was born, my dad got his current job and then 2 years later my younger brother was born.


No one ever told me about the miscarriage but I feel like I had always known that I had 2 elder sisters and an older brother. I had just known about those miscarriages since I was a kid I guess. My parents told me about having miscarriages, They didn't even know the gender of the babies cause India bans knowing the gender of the baby but I had always know my mom had 3 miscarriages before having me and that I would've had 2 sisters and brother.
It's so weird. When I was 6 I wanted to maintain a diary, so I did write 3 pages in some random diary before forgetting about it and recently I found it, It's mostly normal doodles and writing about how my day went but then in one page I wrote 'I know a secret. My mom had 3 miscarriages and I would have 2 sisters and a brother'

Wtf!? I doubt anyone would've told a 6 yr old about that. Even my younger brother doesn't know until he will be 18. Moreover I didn't even grew up around my parents. I grew up in another state with my grandparents. How could I have known this all my life?

What theory? There's no theory other than this thing was trolling us in that little space of our school.

well as long as it doesn't harm anyone.... it's all okay.

Everyone else except me is talking to that entity like it's another person. I don't. I believe doing so encourages malevolent spirits and demons to do their thing.

yeah tons - my house was haunted. Animals, who would one moment be lounging in front of the fire, would suddenly go crazy and hide. Chair (wicker) would creak (never heard a pip out of it when we moved - unless someone sat in it....). Something once stamped on the stair, really loud. Something shook me awake one night and said 'you've got to get out of here' but I'm not counting that, I think that was just my brain being weird.

We lived at the foot of an Iron Age hillfort, on a ley line between Glastonbury and Bath. It can be strange around there. 'Course, we had the whole crop circle thing for a while, and UFO hunters on Cley Hill, too. Neighbours were also haunted - WW1 soldier, apparently, Farmhouse at the top of the fort was riddled with spooks, hated it there. Downstairs was ok but fucked if I was going upstairs *shudders*
I've never been afraid of the dark. My mum did try passing my concerns off as just that, but I pointed out that I wasn't waking every night with the sense of someone else being in the room, just a couple nights a week. But there was definitely a presence, that wasn't always there. We never saw anyone. But she admitted once we'd moved, that she knew there was something. We never sensed any malevolence.
I did have issues with that bloody farmhouse for years after though. I would have very vivid dreams of some dreadful things happening there, at the turn of the 19th century.

An old boyfriend's parent's house was haunted too. There was this one spot on the landing that I HATED having to go past (had to, bathroom was that way). Saw and heard nothing, it was just a feeling, and only that bit. Rest of house was fine. But his Dad later told me he would hear footsteps crossing one of the bedrooms, when he was downstairs and the only one in....thanks mate.

There is something here. A child, I think. Quite active just before my son was born, and a little after, but now...nothing. But that could have been baby brain. Who knows?

 

[Playerkartik]

My dreams are really-really weird....
Want to hear 'bout them?

 

[Hans.Trondheim]

@sleepandeatallday this is the divider I was talking about. The rattan divider was put on the other side now.

This door is the door in my story.

And this is our comlab. The guys in the picture are student teachers.

yes yes yes! Don't worry I got weird dreams too! I once dreamt of being chased by a dinosaur... which was really weird. I also dreamt of being chased by a couple dozen skeletons.... oh and there was this another dream of me being chased by 2 men who wanted to kidnap me in that dream.... come to think of it.... I'm always being chased....

Doesn't look so scary where there are people and light... but I bet it looks creepy if no one's there and you see a hand waving *shivers* I'd scream and run

Oh my uncle had for a small amount of time, rented a apartment haunted by it's previous owner... or something similar.
I mean I am still a bit skeptical about paranormal things cause I never had such things happen to me.... but it's pretty interesting how humans can co-exist with them like that.

My uncle said that when he felt that there was presence of someone in the room, he'd get up and go to another room and leave the entity alone.

You see in the first pic that the light from the window is going through the curtains? Imagine a hand waving from there, and when I peeked to prank the owner of the hand, no one was there.
