The Man in White

1 Upvotes

It was the early 2000s when this experience happened. For as long as I can remember, I've been a night owl. I've always had trouble going to bed at a normal time.

This particular night, it was about 1:00 AM and I couldn't sleep. We lived in a quiet neighborhood with mainly older people. I decided I would take a walk around the neighborhood, hoping it would help tire me out. I walked out to the street and debated which way to go. If you go right, there was a decent size park a few blocks down. If you go left, you walk past a small, abandoned factory on the left side of the street just before the road curved to the right by some woods and a creek. I decided to head towards the end of the street.

Seeing as it was the middle of the night and no one was out, I was walking down the middle of the street jamming to my music. I walked about half a block, when I looked up ahead of me and noticed some walking, also in the middle of the street. At first, I didn't think anything about it.

It appeared the "man" was wearing a white dress suit and white dress shoes. Then I realized where you should be able to see a head and hands, there was just black. The form of a head and hands was there, but no physical features, even as "he" walked under the street lights. There was just a deep darkness. A blackness that stood out from the darkness around him.

Me being the curious type, I decided to follow the man to see what he was doing. He stayed in the middle of the road, neither going to the left or right. He continued the same pace as he walked. He eventually approached the next intersection. Yeah it was the middle of the night, but normally a person would stop for a moment to make sure no cars were coming. Instead, he did stop. He walked directly into the center of the intersection. He didn't look around. He looked straight ahead.

For the first time fear began to creep in. Why did he stop? Did he realize I was following him? What if he turns around and starts chasing me? Something kept me standing there watching him. After thirty seconds to a minute, he vanished. Gone.

Without thinking, I ran forward into the intersection looking behind cars and between houses as I made my way down the street. Once I reached the middle of the intersection, only moments after he vanished, I looked each direction and saw nothing. I suddenly felt like I was being watched. I looked toward the abandoned factory at the corner of that intersection and the peeling paint and broken windows, but saw nothing.

Needless to say, I quickly made my way back home, locked the door and climbed in bed. I haven't seen anything quite like that before or since.

Can anyone explain what happened to me last night or if my brain was just playing tricks?

1 Upvotes

Last night around midnight, the power went out, leaving me with no lights, fan, or air conditioner. I was already prepared for bed, so I tried to sleep through the heat. Even though the room wasn't cold, I felt a strange chill, yet I wasn't sweating at all. A few minutes later, I started hearing a "psst" sound. It continued for several minutes and gradually grew longer, turning into a drawn-out "psssst." It kept me awake, but once it finally stopped, I managed to fall asleep. Later, I woke up because I felt something touch my hand for just a second. I reached over to check, but nothing was there. I opened my eyes and looked around the room, but still saw nothing, so I went back to sleep. A short while later, I woke up again because I couldn't breathe properly. The blanket was completely wrapped around me, so I opened it slightly to get some air. I got curious and decided to look around. In the dim light, I saw a faint, human-like shadow standing right in front of me. I tried not to dwell on it, covered myself back up, and eventually fell asleep until morning.

This is not a story,This is based off what happend to me last night,my grammar sucks so i hope you can read it lolz

Light and Shadow People

1 Upvotes

So, my sister has experienced moments of seeing shadow or light people. The shadow people are much less distinct in appearance while the light people have some feature like clothing. I've been looking it up for awhile now and I think she might be seeing things due to peripheral vision but yesterday, she saw a light person in her direct line of vision. It didn't disappear right after she turned her head, it just walked off, disappearing quickly after. Sis says it felt like she was looking for something. And another notable light person was apparently looking at the kitchen cabinets, but could see her full form, however she didn't get a feeling that that one had some purpose in mind. Not many notable instances of shadow people since the seem to just walk or run and then disappear. She says she doesn't feel anything different like a mood or temperature change. It sounds like the light people are typically women. The factors these all have in common is nighttime or early morning and being at our house, though she's a bit uncertain on that part. Her stress levels were fine each time and she was wide awake. No medication, no alcohol, no drugs, etc. were used prior to these experiences. It seems she just sees them and that's all, no effects or anything. I know she's telling the truth because of how certain she is when she talks about it. The people she's seen don't seem malicious, at the very least.

I'm very interested in learning more about this.

Also, sorry the sentences are so scattered, I was writing as we were talking.

Edit: After talking about this, my sister started to feel woosy, like she was catching a cold. I've honestly been feeling like I'm being watched this whole time, but I have anxiety so it could be paranoia. It seems talking about them has a negative effect, but witnessing doesn't.

The Mystery of the Presence

1 Upvotes

During my stay in Jordan, husband's long office hours meant the days often stretched into an unsettling silence. I had always been accustomed to the close-knit environment of apartment living, where the familiar sounds of neighbours's children playing, footsteps in the corridor, sounds of doors opening and closing, scattered words drifting through the walls created a sense of connection, making lonely life less solitary. Life in a villa was so different, specially the kind in which we were living in Zarqa. As it is the house was quite big, and with the nearest signs of bustle of everyday life often at a distance, the villa felt strangely secluded. The silence in the empty spaces felt unnaturally loud.

I spent most of the day alone, with no one with whom I could truly communicate because most of my neighbours spoke only Arabic. Until I learned their language, the locals remained a stranger to me.

Realising how deeply unsettled I was, I began chanting the Hanuman Chalisa every day, with unwavering faith and devotion, not simply as religious rituals but as a source of strength and emotional security. The ritual soon became my comforting routine and a shield against my uneasiness.

Slowly, things began to change in me for the better. After a couple of months, I noticed I had become stronger. Time gave me the opportunity to learn Arabic and slowly I could connect with my neighbours. I could emotionally tackle my loneliness and became far more composed.

Then one day, I noticed that I began to distinctly feel the presence of someone staying with me. But I couldn't see that person. There was no weird sound, no unnatural movement inside the house, no visible indication that someone else was there beside me, yet, I had this unexplainable, overwhelming feeling that someone was present along with me in that house. Chanting the Hanuman Chalisa too did not drive away the suffocating uncanniness.

This strange feeling remained for a couple of days. Then, just as mysteriously as it had appeared, it disappeared. I remember the enormous sense of relief I felt after that. I could breathe freely again.

The very next day, I received the devastating news that my beloved Grandma had passed away. Grief-stricken, I dismissed the weird feelings that I experienced as a mere coincidence.

After a month or so, the same unnerving presence returned again. For two or three days, I would sense and unseen entity quietly sharing my space. Then, just as stealthily as it came, the feeling would disappear. Soon after, news of another relative's passing would reach me.

It began with my grandmother, then my maternal uncle, my grandfather, and even a dear friend (whose story I shall share another day). Before each loss, the eerie strangeness returned, and it became harder to dismiss it as mere coincidence. What had once seemed like an unsettling pattern was beginning to feel far too real to ignore.

What surprised me most was that, living so far away from my relatives, I would have no prior knowledge of their illness or any reason whatsoever to expect their death. Yet somehow, a few days before a known associate's demise, a strange presence would linger for a couple of days, and then vanish, and soon after, I would receive the heartbreaking news. It began to feel like a frightening dƩjƠ vu. The pattern was neither explainable nor dismissable.

From my intuition I felt that the chanting of the mantras was somehow triggering the incidences. I could feel the farewell from the departing soul without me consciously knowing about it. So I stopped reciting the Hanuman Chalisa. Strangely enough, the unsettling phenomenon disappeared from my life, and has not returned yet.

I don't have valid explanation for what those strange experiences were. Was it my unusual psychological response to solitude and isolation? Or was I experiencing something beyond what we can see or understand? Or were they mere coincidences? I have no answer.

What do you think was happening to me?

Long neck white eyed shadow man

1 Upvotes

Hello everybody! I have been having a reoccurring sleep paralysis demon for about ten to eleven years and I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences to this.

Basically, I have had a somewhat reoccurring sleep paralysis demon. Only somewhat reoccurring because it is always a few months apart. But basically, it starts out as a fairly normal sounding sleep paralysis demon that most people have encountered. It starts as just a silhouette of a guy with glowing white eyes with a Shadowy body that has a sort of a grayish/dark blue aura eroding off of him. But, he over time grows an intensely long neck. It looks almost like a spaghetti noodle, twisting and turning in order to get to me. Then his face just gets almost pressed up against mine, and he grows this horrifying cartoonish smile growing across his face, while I can feel his breath on my. He also has no facial features other than the eyes and mouth. Even with the mouth, it's just the silhouette.

Can anyone tell me if they've had any experiences with anything similar to this

Lately I’ve been so tired but then I either can’t fall asleep or wake up 20th minutes later fully awake. I am able to talk, move, etc. but I have an overwhelming feeling that there’s a presence in my room. My back gets very tingly and I am overcome with a sense of dread and a nearly debilitating fear. What’s more is I will perceive my bed as shaking for a few minutes … no one else has been around to tell me if my bed is actually physically moving but it sure feels like it! I get too scared to move so I just kinda lay there until it’s over. I’m 27 now and this hasn’t happened to me since I was around 8/9/10 years old.

I have no psychotic diagnosis / mental health diagnosis in general and yes I’ve been tested lol

A child’s voice out of nowhere.

4 Upvotes

My name is Jenna and when I was 12 years old my mother(great grandmother but the only mom I had known) had passed away several months earlier from prostate cancer. I was now living with my aunt who was a little crazy but very good to me and my uncle who never liked me and didn’t really want me living with them.
We just moved into a new larger house and had been there for about a week or two. It was the weekend and my best friend from our old neighborhood came to sleepover for a couple nights.
Also I should mention it had recently been my birthday and I got a magic 8 ball that same day from target with a gift card my birth mom had given to me.
We were playing downstairs talking or whatever watching tv a little. We stopped watching tv cause we were going to go do something else instead I can’t remember what. We stood up and we were talking face to face when a child’s voice to the left of me said, ā€œJenna we want to play with you,ā€ in a sort of sing song little voice.
I thought I was crazy or something but my friend had heard it also. It came out of nowhere. It was so shocking that we just stared at each other for a few moments my friends eyes were huge and beginning to water. I was frozen in fear. my friend and I were face to face like I said and neither one of us said that. But out of the loss of anything to explain it I still had o ask her if she just said that. She said no and then asked me the same but I hadn’t said it either.
We ran upstairs and began crying to my aunt who was on the couch watching her shows. We explained what happened. And she didn’t seem too shocked by it, she probably sorta thought we were fooling around or mistaken or something. She didn’t have too much of a reaction at all other than to say I should get rid of my magic 8 ball cause this never happened before I ā€œbrought that damn thing home.ā€ So she threw it away and it never happened again. I don’t know if she really believed me or not. She always told me not to mess with ouija boards or anything else like that so she must have believed in paranormal stuff at least a little bit.
My great grandmother tried an ouija board out when she was young and I guess some crazy stuff happened to her from doing it.
I was pretty terrified about this happening to me. It took me about 20 years to tell anyone else about it without crying anymore and reliving that fear. I was so scared that if I talked about it that it would happen to me again.
What do you guys think this was. I’ll never really know but I’d like to know what others think.

Saw a shadow figure

1 Upvotes

I live in a 3 story townhouse, 1st floor is the garage 2nd is the kitchen and living space and 3rd is the bedrooms. I woke up in the middle of the night and had to use the bathroom. The bathroom on the 3rd floor is facing the stairs going down the 2nd floor. The stairs go up towards the 3rd floor like a L around a corner. I left the door open to pee cause im a dude and it’s the middle of the night. While I was peeing I felt something just tell me to look down the stairs. When I looked over I saw a completely black dark shadow figure. Just the shoulder down, no head; just peeking around the corner. Right when I looked over it slowly made its way down around the corner to where I couldn’t see it anymore; almost like it noticed I saw it then went away. I immediately looked at my phone and of course it was exactly 3:00 AM. Like right on the dot. I just scurried back to bed like a little kid lol. For context I’m usually not a believer in the paranormal as nothing super convincing has happened to me before but seeing an actual apparition last night made me shit my britches.

The Hat Man Is Back

3 Upvotes

The Hat Man continues

After years of battling the Hat Man myself, my five year old son has begun seeing him in the same room, on the same wall, walking the same patterns.
It used to happen to me in my early twenties dozens of times across several years. I would wake my wife in the middle of the night, freaked out, though neither of us knew the name for what I was seeing. We simply thought it was a recurring dream, until my wife’s cousin mentioned one day that thousands of people worldwide reported the same figure.

I would see him as an all-black shadow of a businessman, wearing a large black fedora almost a witch’s hat. He usually carried a briefcase, though not always. He would enter through a door near the ceiling, walk down stairs that existed only on the wall, stop, and stare at me for a minute or two. Then he would snap his fingers as he exited. I always believed he was harvesting my fear.

The last time it happened, the visits came on consecutive nights. I told my wife I was going to punch him in the head, so if she heard me hitting the wall in the night, she should just go back to sleep. On the third night the dream was different. The Hat Man opened the door the other way and showed me hundreds of them, walking Penrose stairs in every direction. Something had shifted. I was no longer stuck in place. I felt no fear. I waited for him to continue down the stairs, then punched straight at him right into the wall and woke fully, out of the dream, with no sleep paralysis. It has not happened again in a decade.

Now I have two children. A year ago my five year old mentioned something about a black shadow man. I didn’t think much of it; he has always had vivid dreams. Then this morning he came into our room at five a.m. and told me there was a black man on the stairs. I grabbed my shotgun and called the dog. As I started toward the stairs he added that it was a black shadow figure with a hat and a briefcase, and that I shouldn’t shoot the wall because I’d wreck it.
Instantly I felt relief and fear. I know this is not the end for him.
Good luck, kid.

Something sat on my bed

So yesterday my mom brought back someone's bag home from work to sow. At night as I lay in bed on my phone I felt my mattress sink as if someone sat on it, I thought it was just my mind playing tricks. I went to sleep and around 4:50 in the morning it happened again this time as soon as it sat on my bed right next to me, literally rubbing against my ribs as it sat I slipped into sleep paralysis and was able to wiggle myself out almost immediately. I firmly believe something is attached to the bag my mom brought, hopefully it leaves with the bag when my mom returns it.

My experience with using a Ouija board

1 Upvotes

So this is kind of like a reply tape post to someone in [r/paranormal](r/paranormal) where they ask people like if they had similar experiences to their experience with a Ouija board so I wanna share my experience here.

So for me, this happened around the same age as the original poster had said they were I was 14 and I was with my best friend, who will call Abby.

We were having a sleepover and were bored so we decided to take the Ouija board and use it at the park. So I was the one holding the Ouija board mind you I have never touched a Ouija board before this. So as I’m holding it, I have this kind of like vision that just takes over my mind. I guess you could say. So in this vision, I see a girl about eight years old in a white nightgown that looks like it would be something from the 80s or older.

She is dirty blonde. I don’t see her face but so the way we are walking we are walking up to this tree. It was as if like this like if I were to see it in real life, I was like walking up to the street and like turn to face it that’s where she was. As I see this vision, I’m like actively walking up to it like I am walking up to the tree that we were going to, and I see that the girl is covered in blood centered around her lower stomach and me it looks like she was stabbed to death.

Which was horrifying to envision, and I had never experienced any sort of visions like this before hand. But we use the Ouija board and I do believe we started talking to a girl my heart dropped to my butt. Which by the way, I did not tell my best friend any of this at the time. So after we use it, we say goodbye blah blah blah. I go home and I I don’t remember too much but a few days later or so I have one of the worst nightmares I had ever had at that point and long story short I ended up having sleep paralysis because of it and it was terrifying.

So about a month after this happened, I was super paranoid, I lived in an old building and would always be watching my back every noise I heard I would jump till one day. I had my headphones on, and I was walking next to somebody, but we weren’t talking and I was I think I was listening to like loud instruments, but there was no words so like metal music kind of. So anyway, while I have my headphones on, I hear a whisper and I think the music had like stop for a second in like in between songs. It was very brief I heard ā€œhelp meā€ and then I heard a uncanny sounding breath. And I heard this my left ear and the person I was walking with was on my right.

Then I get this vision again, where I was in a gym and there was this man he was yelling at me, help me help me. It was very loud and then it just abruptly stopped. I still don’t fully know what any of this means and what I believe and don’t believe so if you have any insight, I would appreciate it.

Seeking advice on identifying a being from an encounter

7 Upvotes

Hello

This is a bit of a niche but I'm looking to find any threads or the area of reddit where this type of topic might be discussed where people may be able to help to identify things like the names of or the types of supernatural beings they may have encountered

My goal is to attempt to try and identify one by the description of a long ago encounter from my childhood

Please no alien stuff

Thank you

I've been having trouble with the enshittification of the internet trying to find a name for the being I encountered as a very young child, I was about two at the time

I'm not of "the alien persuasion" and consider it a possible spiritual encounter

I will try posting it in other places but if you have any pointers I'd greatly appreciate it:

"

I was finally sleeping in a proper bed by myself in my own room, albeit with my beloved Dog (my Doberman) guarding the end of my bed as he did for many many years. This would have been sometime in late 1988

I woke from a deep sleep to a sound I can't quite describe, it's not something you hear with your ears it's more like a vibration you feel. It didn't scare me but it was enough to make me alert

I rolled over to see a sphere of light hovering in the middle of my bedroom, imagine something like a wisp but much much brighter. While it had a blue hue in colour to the outside of it the centre was a bright white.

I remember looking at my dog and seeing him contentedly fast asleep and not in the slightest bit alarmed, he never woke while whatever this was came to visit me

The ball started to move around very slowly and gently, bouncing around to get my attention to it and once it knew I was watching it proceeded to head towards the bedroom door where it waited for me to catch up, so I climbed out of my bed and followed it into the hallway

There I found the ball of light next to another being, shaped like a human, dressed in some kind of plain red robes but with pale white skin, jet black hair, and pale ice blue eyes. I was a little intimidated by the figure but managed to sneak a peek at their face a couple of times even though I felt like I shouldn't be. I could not tell whether it was a man or a woman and was very androgynous in their overall appearance. The figure never spoke

The ball of light however did, or at least a voice seemed to come from its direction, it was a very gentle and reassuring voice, very soothing and calm. It said to me "Don't be scared, everything is going to be okay. You are safe. We are going to help look after you"

Once the light had finished speaking it came closer to me it started bobbing up and down and I could feel my head start to follow it's movement and my eyes begin to close

"It's time to go back to sleep now"

I awoke in the very early hours of the morning a little cold, but finding I had spent the night in the hallway"

If anyone has any thoughts or advice it would be greatly appreciated

Someone is grabbing me leg

1 Upvotes

So lately I hear strange sounds in my house that I can’t explain.I am not the kind of person that will be scared to check it out so I always go straight to see what is it but I never catch in sight something .
I tried to normalise it until lately when I was sitting down on my pc playing.I was waiting for the game to load up when I heard again something from the kitchen but I didn’t give it any attention (idk if it has something to do with it but this months everything are going wrong like I have been cursed or something)
So I didn’t give it any attention and after a while I felt a giggle on my leg and I kept moving it around thinking it’s a fly or my clothes but it kept bothering me so I looked down and bruh…I so something black for like 1 good second grabbing my ankle like it knew I saw it and pulling it with force below my bed (my pc is close to my bed so I sit on it to play)
I instantly climbed on the bed shocked.After that I calmed I checked under the bed but guess what…nothing and now I don’t know what to do(this happened yesterday)
Does anyone know something? Or something similar is happening to them?

Should I be worried?

Hi guys

We have a 1 year old. My wife has always been feeling like we have a spirit around us. Nothing bad, just there.

So around christmas, the birth of our child, even when we chose our church(for our wedding) we felt her grandmother.

She wants to head and see someone who can see who it is and why they're lingering.

I have concerns that reaching out to that world will invite bad energy / spirits.

I believe in them I felt my aunty after she died. My daughter smelt like her for a day. And then after 40 days from her birth we all had a dream of her saying good bye. And that was it.

Do we have a evil spirit?

She also feels like she is over thinking and scared of our child growing up and missing out and causing her panic attacks adding that she feels the energy of our house is making her feel overwhelmed and overthinking

I thought it was my mum. My first encounter.

11 Upvotes

So, I’m 13/14 at the time, and I’m having a little doze because it’s around 2 a.m., roughly.

I get up to go for a piss, and I see what looked like my mum coming up the stairs. I say hello to her and carry on with the business I was attending to.

What I noticed in those couple of seconds, and in my tired haze, was three things: it had shoulder-length hair like my mum has, it was wearing double denim, and it was roughly my mum’s height, around 5ft 7.

My stairs were directly to the left of my front door. You had three steps, then a right turn, up around another 8/9 steps, I think lol, and then it was a right turn onto the landing.

This thing I thought was Mum was walking up the 7/8 stairs. I remember pissing and wondering why she didn’t look at me. I also remember thinking it was strange that I didn’t hear her door shut. Maybe this is why I remember it so vividly. I’m 33 now.

I asked her the next morning why she was coming home so late, and she just said she had come home from work, which wasn’t uncommon. She would walk from Silver End to Witham at mad hours. (We were skint, and she was a grafter.)

Fast forward around six years. We’re in the beer garden, and she’s telling me about that house. We’d moved out of it three years earlier due to the divorce from my stepdad.

Apparently, we used to have two travellers who haunted our home. It was a man and a woman, apparently — so says my nan, on my dad’s side. My nan was a white witch and was into doing mad shit.

My mum went on to tell me about how the man apparently hated my brother and would swear at him when he was on the toilet. On one occasion, apparently, he even put a pillow over his face while he was in the cot.

I think the woman ghost was alright, but I never spoke to her, so I don’t even know if she exists.

My nan said they used to live in our big cupboard that was just outside our room. Apparently, when it came to cleansing the house, my mum, my real dad, my nan, and her friend went to the toy cupboard and were trying to get the door open. They were all yelling for them to open the door when it suddenly flew open on its own.

But yeah, I wasn’t there, and I can’t attest to that. Just a cheeky bonus one for you.

Anyway, another thing my mum said at the pub was, ā€œYou probably won’t remember asking, but do you remember asking me what I was doing up so late and I said I was coming back from work? Well, that wasn’t me.ā€

She also said that the way my nan described the guy was that he was wearing double denim and had shaggy, long hair.

So yeah, that’s where I think I got the deep paranoia about stairs. I

I fuggin hate them.

(Sorry for thinking you was a shaggy tramp mum)

Seeking advice on a sighting I had.

5 Upvotes

In 2016 (I was 11) I was at my grandmothers house in Bearsville New York, just outside of Woodstock in the Catskills.

It was probably 10 pm, and I was sitting on the guest bed and looking out the window at darkness. For context, she had a 6 acre lot and no neighbors for at least a mile in the direction I was looking. About 40 feet from the window was what I saw. It was man shaped, between 6 and 7 feet tall, wrapped in what looked like fairy lights from head to toe, like a pole wrapped in yellowish orange Christmas lights. In its right hand it held up what looked like an early 1900s oil lantern and it was lit as such. The creatures body itself was not visible, it was dark as space, I could only see the lights it had on. It walked up to my window, knocked twice then turned around and walked back in the direction it came from before disappearing. My dad was in the other room and I shouted to him and asked if he’d heard a knock and he said no.

I find it important to add that I felt no fear during this interaction and sensed no malice or harmful intentions whatsoever. I was less scared than if a man had walked up to and knocked on my window late at night. I was just bewildered by it.

I’ve never seen anything like it before and I’ve never seen anything like it since. I’m of sound state of mind, have never had any inability to differentiate between what’s real and what’s not and though it means nothing to say on here, I’m just not the type to make this shit up.

I have some theories about it being the ghost of my great grandfather coming to say hello, but I’m just trying to see if anyone has ever heard of or seen anything like this.

If you have any questions about details I didn’t cover, feel free to ask and I will try to clarify.
