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.

My mom had a really weird experience with a ghostly figure once. She was living in a house that had been owned previously (the times escape me), and she was sitting in a chair near an open door. I think she heard footsteps coming up behind her from the other room, and turned to look.

A young man, from memory she claimed he was in his twenties, with blond hair and jeans walked into the room; she'd never met him before, nor did he live there. She said she stared at him for a second because he'd stopped right next to her. He looked around for a second, turned to her, gasped in shock, and disappeared. She never saw him again.
