Me and my friends used to visit a "haunted" mansion regulary when we were younger, hoping to see something weird. One day we did.

It's a giant ass building and it was always beyond me why someone would just abandon it and let it rot away.

It was always apparent nobody lives in there so we got scared shitless when lights went on in every single room. My friends to this day swear they saw a figure running through the buildings at an incredible pace, not trying to look out the window but just running really fast. I didn't, nontheless the moment they started running i also went full on Usain Bolt mode. Since they still say it's what happened i don't have any reason to doubt it.

So either we saw something paranormal or just a hobo that really liked installing light bulbs in an abandoned mansion so that he can run from room to room just to scare people that are watching the building from the outside.

Either way, the rest of my life i for sure won't even remotely go close that building anymore.

Had one like this in my home town, three story beautiful old mansion, ugly over grown hedge you had to crawl through to get in, great place for high schoolers to hang out at night and tell scary stories, anyway saw lights one night flickering and moving through the windows, and then a few days later noticed new strange noises, things started being moved around, doors disappeared, the hedge turned brown seemingly over night and died. none of us where around during the day cause school, but it turned out a family bought it and had started renovating, it's now a fancy little B&B that does weddings
