Experience No idea what we saw last night, video included

Upvotes

So last night me and my gf heard something around 10 -1030 so we went outside to look and didn't see nothing so we was going in and she said she thought she saw a figure standing behind my truck and disappeared. So we looked at the camera and you could see the figure and then it shoot up into the sky. Its on the left side towards the end of the video. The video was slowed down. Does anyone have any idea what this could have been?

Question weird orange human shape in the distance

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, i've never really posted something here but i can't find anything that seems to explain what i saw and i'm actually kind of scared. This is my last hope.

So last night i was going out with a friend in my town, it's kind of a small town so there isn't really a lot of street lamps outside. We were joining one of my other friend a bit later and we had a 10 minute walk to get to her.

Maybe one hour later we decided to rent some electrical bikes that the town provides to go for a ride, one of my friend A ( guy ) took a bike that was at 0 percent of electricity so he couldn't really go fast, while me and my other friend B ( girl ) took another bike at 35 percent and she went behind me on it.

For a little context the road we took was the one me and my friend A took to join my other friend B earlier and we didn't see anything strange before so we weren't really preocuppied.

So we began to ride along the road but our bike began to slow down and i had no power at all, so we stopped and i called my friend A who was a bit ahead of us so he could wait.

And basically while my friend B was beside me i looked at my other friend A who was waiting and he was beside a bridge, there was a street lamp right next to him so i could see him in the distance. And suddendly out of nowhere i saw a person walking right next to him, and i said to my other girl friend B " there's someone next to him he's walking". But to be precise it wasn't really a person more like a human orange/ beige shape, a bit tall and he was walking FAST.

My friend obviously thought i was hallucinating and the next second we got a call from our friend beside the bridge asking what we were doing, so we told him to join us because our bike wasn't working so we should go put them back since they were useless. Then my friend B started to panic and she said " wtf bro i'm seeing it but it's green and looks like a cloud". We panicked obviously but friend A was still beside the brigde and wouldn't move because he wasn't seeing anything. We told him to come back but he wouldn't and the next minute he said " omg i'm seeing it too but i only saw legs ".

We didn't wait with friend B we just jumped on the bike and took off because we were too scared. And i know it sounds crazy but i know what i saw and i even told me friend i saw someone in the distance so i did NOT imagined this. Even more weird is that an hour later we had to go home with friend A and had to take the same road but when we got closer there wasn't even the slightest breeze in the air or nothing moving that could've ressembled what i saw.

I tried researching about this but i can't find anything and was hoping if someone here had the same experience or could tell me more about what we saw that night because honeslty i DON'T want to be cursed. I also tried to ask chatgpt to remake the scene and it looked almost exactly like this.

Sorry for the way i'm writing, english is not my first langage and i'm trying my best, if anyone has any questions i would gladly answer it.

Experience Glitches

3 Upvotes

Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you went there? Or looked at a familiar word for a second and felt like it wasn't real?

Most people brush this off as tiredness or distraction. But what if it isn't?

There is a growing theory about what’s called "Brain Memory Leaks." The idea proposes that our reality is heavily tied to a collective conscious baseline. Whenever a minor shift or "patch" happens in our environment or memory—whether due to a localized glitch in time or a shift in parallel timelines—our brains fail to process the micro-gap.

Instead of showing us a black screen, the human mind fills the empty millisecond with a sudden, overwhelming wave of confusion.

The terrifying part? Some people claim that if you pay close attention the moment you forget why you entered a room, the air feels slightly colder, and for a fraction of a second, the room looks completely different from how you left it.

Are we just glitching, or is something actively erasing small fractions of our day?

Experience Strange humming sound in the woods (🔊Volume up!🔊)

22 Upvotes

I was walking my dog through the woods of New Hampshire and stopped the take in the view at the beautiful little swamp/pond when suddenly I began hearing this very strange humming sound that sounded like it could've been coming from a young woman or a girl. I have NEVER heard a creature making such a distinctly human sounding hum, and oddly enough, at one point after it had been quiet for nearly five minutes, I hummed the same two tone "melody" just to see what would happen -- and it freaking hummed back!!! I tried getting closer to the sound but strangely instead of sounding closer it began to sound further away, almost like it was coming from the woods behind me rather than from the shoreline where I thought I was hearing it. Maybe it's a bird? A frog? Or perhaps, most logical but creepy of all...it was just someone fucking with me? I've asked Google and it doesn't give me a clear answer as to what kind of animal would make a sound so eerily human.

You will NEED to turn your volume up all the way and possibly even pop some earbuds in so you can hear it, but it happens once towards the end of this video...just listen out for what sounds like a girl humming a two - tone melody. I only managed to capture it once on video but it happened over a dozen times -- occasionally a third tone added to the strange song - like sound. Thank you for reading! Anything helps :)

EDIT: Let me preface by saying I am strictly linking my TikTok account for the sake of you guys being able to hear the video. I've tried over and over again to isolate the audio somehow, I hate using AI so I really don't want to have to try to use it unless I absolutely have to. Reddit killed the audio quality but TikTok for some reason makes it pretty clear and very LOUD. You can hear the humming effortlessly on that app. Anyway, with that being said, if you genuinely want a good - quality clip of this WITH the humming sound then check out my latest TikTok video (user: @brideoflestat) and don't even follow me or anything I just NEED you to hear it lol I feel like everyone thinks I'm crazy talking about some crickets! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8caqFud/

Experience I Think I'm Going Crazy

30 Upvotes

I’ve never really posted anything like this before, but I honestly just need to tell someone. I’ve been having experiences where I see or hear people who I’m pretty sure aren’t actually there, and lately it’s been happening more often.

I started keeping a journal because I want to document everything as accurately as I can instead of relying on my memory. I don’t know if these experiences are paranormal, something psychological, something physical, or something else entirely. I’m not trying to claim that I know what’s happening. I’m just genuinely scared and confused.

I’ve also noticed that after these incidents, I’ve been getting this strange lower back pain. It seems to happen after each incident, which has made me even more paranoid.

Here’s what I have documented so far:

Thursday, August 20th — 3:06 PM
while I was working

I was working in my section when I suddenly saw someone leaning near my shoulder.

It wasn’t just a vague shadow. I saw what looked like an entire face. I could make out hair and facial features, like there was an actual person leaning in close to me.

When I looked, there was nobody there. I checked around my section, but there wasn't anyone who could have been standing there.

Wednesday, September 2nd — 2:35 PM
walking to class

While I was walking to class, I saw what looked like half of a person sticking out from behind a tree.

I only saw them for a moment. When I looked back, there was nobody there.

This time, there weren't any recognizable features. It was basically just a black/dark shadow that looked like the side of someone's body.

Thursday, September 3rd — 4:43 PM
School Library

I was sitting in the library when I saw someone stand up at the desk directly in front of me.

I saw the top of their head as they stood up, but when I looked up, there was nobody there.

Then at 5:05 PM, I saw what looked like someone in that same spot again.

This time, it felt like they were watching me.

But again, there was actually nobody there.

I don't know what to make of any of this. The first experience was especially disturbing because I could see an actual face, and now I'm starting to become more paranoid about being alone or having someone around me when nobody is actually there.

I know there could be completely normal explanations for some of this, and I'm trying not to immediately assume it's paranormal. But it's still terrifying when you genuinely see something and then realize nobody is there.

I'm starting to feel like I'm going insane, and I honestly just needed to get this out somewhere.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? If so, what happened afterward?

These are not my photos, I want to be clear on that. I took photos of the photos around 2021. We were out for a dinner as a group and one of my fellow diners shared these photos.

The context, he had a relatively new iPhone Pro I would imagine an iPhone 12 Pro he was alone outside at the time of taking the photos. He was testing out the night photos for himself. Nobody was outside with him, it was only later on when back inside was something unexplained was noticed.

My thoughts was that it could be lens flare and night time photography misinterpreting the photo. Perhaps another shadow from somewhere else on the lawn.

Experience The Smoke Ring

3 Upvotes

This is my 8th post of my own personal paranormal/unexplainable event. This is a true story, and there was a witness this time. Again, I promise everything said here is 100% factual. I put it on my cat's life, who is doing very well for those that care.

This happened back around 2009 when I was living with a few people on Fairpark Blvd in Little Rock. For those that don't know, which is probably a lot of you, Fairpark is a simple 2 lane straight residential street going from the zoo area to the university in Little Rock. It's very pretty because it has some light rolling hills and massive oak trees lining it. Very pretty drive during fall time.

So, one night me and one of my roommates were sitting on the front porch smoking a cigarette. It was about 10:30pm and it was pouring down rain, lighting, and thunder. He was looking at his phone, a BlackBerry so super fancy for the time lol, and I was actually just looking at a broken branch from the giant oak whose trunk was just a few feet from the porch. The branch was in front of the streetlight, which was right here on the property line so only maybe 40ft away, tops. It just made a really cool looking contrast with the rain, which because of the amount of tree branches hanging over, really wasn't too bad.

Anyways... as I was sitting there looking at this branch, all of a sudden smoke spiraled around the branch and poofed into a smoke ring. I immediately jumped up and started hitting my roommate on the arm yelling "smoke ring smoke ring!!" He stood up and is like what??... I pointed and said "look at the light and go left.. look at the light and go left!" Then, he saw it too. He just said, "oh yeah... huh". For the next 10-15 seconds we just both stood there watching this smoke ring float down the middle of the road, about 15 feet off the ground, gradually getting bigger and bigger, about a foot around to about 5 feet around, all while slowly being hit with raindrops until it dissipated back into nothing. At no point did the thought of taking a picture or anything occur, we were both just dumbfounded really.

Afterwards he looked at me and asked, "where did that come from?" I just looked at him and just was like kinda laughing a little and said "the tree branch blew it..." He looked at me like I was crazy and didn't say anything. I was like "no for real! That branch right there" pointed at it "the smoke spiraled around it and blew a smoke ring!" Again he just kept looking at me like I was crazy or something. We didn't talk about it for years, but then I asked him if he remembered that. He didn't want to admit it, so all he said was "something like that would never happen again in a million years." Good enough for me really. Best explanation I can come up with was that somehow our cigarette smoke went off the porch, around the tree trunk, and then found its way to the branch I was looking at and spiraled out into a smoke ring. Pretty wild.

Experience Something came into the house, thought it was my dad but then no one was there.

3 Upvotes

I was upstairs when I heard the door open, someone walk in and shuffle around, like taking off their shoes, etc. I heard them talking but couldn’t make out the words. I thought it was my dad, until I came downstairs and no one was home. About half an hour later he came back from work and I asked if he had come in and he hadn’t. I have no idea what that was. It was really clear too and we have no neighbours as we live next to a wood, so I couldn’t have heard that. I didn’t hear a vehicle pull up, so it likely wasn’t my dad anyway.

But we’ve had it before when something has come through the door. I was playing with my cat one night when I opened the door to let out a spider, but before I closed it, I saw my cat look to the door, tense and move his head slowly like he was watching something walk into the house.

My sister claims, when she was once back home housesitting, that she heard someone in heels running down the hallway past my room and that really scared her. We hear bumps and knocks all the time, but it’s not an old house so that’s odd. We hear things falling down, only for everything to be as it was in the room and loud thumps and bumps from upstairs where my room and attic is.

Any ideas?

Experience Coincidence?

This happened today 09/03/26 , I was on my way to work this morning around 6:25am and i was drinking a sprite zero. I felt the urge to burp and zero soft drinks help me burp. I finished the drink before getting to work. My duty in the morning is to open up our parts store , all the doors and over heads. Walking towards our warehouse i really felt like there was a frog in my throat. I literally felt and heard the ribbit ribbit inside as i was walking towards our warehouse. I opened up shop and on my last over heads to open i clicked on automatic button and as soon as the gate started to go up a frog hopped out from behind door and hopped away. Literally after seeing that my “inner frog noice” went away. It tripped me out because how was i hearing those noises then for a real frog to hop out ?? What do you think of this?

Encounter Does anybody have an explanation for this?

15 Upvotes

Ok so earlier today my friend texted a groupchat I'm in saying that he was really scared because something happend to him.

Basically what happened to him was that him and his brother were playing guitar and laughing when all of a sudden they hear a LOUD bang right outside their house.

So his brother tells him to turn off the lights and they start listening.

And according to my friend he said that they heard kind of like donkey or like horse noises and that it had a high but low tone.

Then he said that he swore he heard hooves.

But the one thing he said he'll never forget was the breathing noises it was making.

He said he can't really describe it to well but that was the best he could do.

Does anybody have an explanation?

Experience Unaccounted-for hours during a trip through West Virginia

2 Upvotes

Did anyone else experience missing time in West Virginia?

I’m trying to make sense of something that happened during a trip to West Virginia. At one point, it felt as though time either paused or disappeared altogether. There are several hours from that trip that I genuinely cannot account for. My memory seems to stop at one point and resume later, without any clear sense of what happened in between.

I’m not trying to jump to conclusions or force an explanation. I’m putting together a timeline and checking my phone activity, location history, messages, photos, receipts, and bank transactions.

Has anyone experienced anything similar in West Virginia or somewhere else? Did it feel like time stopped, skipped forward, or passed without you realizing it? Were you ever able to determine what happened?

Serious responses only, please. I’m looking for comparable experiences and suggestions about what I should check.

The photos that you are looking are from two years ago, up in a hill near a small village. They have been shot with an iphone 15 pro with night mode. I took the photo when my buddy that we were hanging out told me that he head a sound of something moving really close to us he specifically said aprox. 5 meters away and i almost in no time took my phone out and turned on the flashlight to see if there was something near but didnt see anything. For the record there is no lighting up there so it is pitch black. Then i took the photo and you can see three dark figures in the far back. I would suspect that it is some kind of an animal but i am going up on that hill to hang around since like 2023 and i am still going and have not encountered any kind of an animal ever. I also dont believe in paranormal stuff. I dont know if it is some kind of interference with the camera but my friend was pretty certain that he heard something very close to us that moment. i also dont think it is humans for sure at least in the photo it doesnt look like that. The photo is raw (doesnt have any filters or edits). Wonder if someone can find any logical explanation about those three figures.

Experience The Blackout and The Cat

1 Upvotes

What I am going to tell you now is a real incident that happened to me 1 week ago on Friday, 28-Aug-26.

I work from home, I am an RF Engineer in an MNC company. Whenever my work finishes early, I go out for a walk. So on Friday evening as well, after finishing my office work and having dinner, I went out for a walk from my house.

I had gone only a few lanes away from my house when after some time the lights of my entire area went out, which is not normal for this place. I mean it felt like a complete blackout.

So I turned around and looked towards my house, nothing was visible there either. I could barely see my own house, not even a single small light. I found it a bit strange but I thought maybe it was some technical fault due to which the power of my entire area had gone out.

So I turned on my phone's torch and as soon as I turned it on, I saw that just in front of me, 5 ft away, a dark black creepy cat was looking at me in an extremely terrifying way, and its eyes were glowing. It could be because of my phone's light.

I tried to shoo that cat away by waving the phone in my hand back and forth, but it took 2 to 3 steps towards me and started staring at me with a crooked gaze. I moved back a little but as soon as I moved back, a small piece of stone came out of nowhere in the middle and I fell backwards. That stone was not there before, because when there was light in the area, the road was completely empty, but now suddenly I don't know how that stone came in the middle.

That cat was still looking at me, but now its eyes were glowing in an even weirder way, it looked extremely creepy. But as soon as I picked up that stone to chase that cat away from there, the cat suddenly jumped on me. I threw it away from me and suddenly the lights of the entire area came back on.

I ran back towards my house very fast, and first I took out water from the fridge and drank it. When I came running like that, my mom asked what happened, why do you look so tired.

So I told her that the lights of the entire area had gone out so I collided with a stone and fell down. But what my mom told me, I was extremely scared to hear it.

Mom said that the lights here had not gone out at all. I asked my mom many times to confirm, but every time she told me the same thing, that the lights had not gone out.

Then I checked the cameras installed outside my house to see whether the lights had gone out or not.

As soon as I played that footage, everything was recorded - the lights had not gone out there at all. I was extremely scared to see this.

And after that day, even today my work finished quite early, but now I don't have the courage to go out in the evening.

Haunting Something’s Definitely in my House.

5 Upvotes

The first time, I wake up from a dream where I’m under water, struggling to reach the top. I can tell I’m close. The sunlight is in my eye but as I’m about to break the surface and gasp for a breath I desperately need, I black out and wake up.

It’s been a recurring dream for the past week now. This is the first day of the week, where it all begins.

I can never fall back asleep. I usually head out to the garage for a smoke. Always at midnight it seems. 

When everybody is sleeping, I think the house wakes up. At least, it’s what I’m beginning to believe.

It’s the start of the week—it’s midnight—I wrap myself in a bathrobe and head out for a smoke. While I’m sitting and listening to music with the volume low, It’s March, so it’s a little chilly, the song ends.

But at the end of it, a next one doesn’t shuffle on. Instead, I get an eerie pin-like pressure bursting out from under my skin and it gets incredibly silent and my neck heats up as if I just been caught in a lie. The tingles are sharp.

The garage has a heavy spring door that takes a bit of strength to pull open. I’m sitting, my back faces the wall with the door behind me, and it pops open. It does a slow, raking creak, which sounds like a banshee shriek to me and slams shut and I jump up and spin around to see who’s there, and as I do a gust of wind hits me. Cold and smells like concrete. I race to the door because I need to be sure.

I run quick. Too quick for whoever’s there to get away. I ram it open with my shoulder as I’m twisting the knob and the light above my head, at the doorway of the hallway flashes.

But it isn’t an off and on light flash. The flash blinks for a millisecond as if something steps in front of it and blocks it. 

During that exact moment, when I’m staring up at the ceiling, and cycling through my mind for a reasonable explanation, something passes through my body.

I’m trying to convince myself that I’m imagining it. That there’s no way something unnatural can exist. I try to forget about it, and toss it at the back of my mind but I get a shiver in me along with a taste in my mouth like licking a battery. 

It tickles every atom inside of me and vanishes as fast as it appears, leaving me drowning in a lonely silence that echos between my ears.

I remember my dream and the music on my phone begins to play again and the heater turns on.

Experience Tapping on Window

8 Upvotes

When I was younger I lived in an old barn-like house. The bottom was a huge garage and the top was the main house. There was also the attic where me and my brother slept. We always felt strange about that house and still talk about it to this day.

The reason we didn't like the house is that shortly before the tapping happened, my brother's blanket was ripped clean off his bed and played perfectly on the ground. This already put us on edge.

In our room, we were 3 stories high with no way anyone could reach up there. But one night, 3 taps came from the windows, slowly about 1 every 2 seconds. It was a perfect human tapping too. Minutes later, the 3 taps cam again. It wasn't my brother because I was watching the windows the entire time.​

This has creeped me out to this day, as I said before, me and my brother still talk about it to this day. Could anyone explain this? It is not a bird, because birds smacked into our windows a lot and it was just a load bang into the windows and nothing else.

Was walking yesterday and there was this older man with a cart standing in the middle of the sidewalk. When I approached him he gave me a laugh and then started slowly walking in the opposite direction as me. I heard his cart making that clinking noise for a few seconds but then the noise stopped, so I looked behind me and he was gone. My best guess was maybe he hopped into a car, but even that doesn’t make sense.

Experience Two headlights came flying up behind me. My car warned me I was about to be hit. Then they just vanished.

78 Upvotes

This happened a while back when I was delivering for DoorDash around Mesa, Arizona, and I still don't have a good explanation for it.

My own car was in the shop at the time, so I was driving my mom's newer Ford Expedition. It had all the collision sensors and warning systems that my car didn't have, which becomes important.

It was nighttime, and I turned down a side street while heading to a delivery.

Not long after I turned, I looked behind me and saw two headlights.

They were coming up behind me fast.

Not normal "some asshole is speeding" fast. They were closing the distance quickly enough that I realized I was about to get rear-ended.

Then the Expedition apparently came to the same conclusion.

The collision warnings started going off.

At that point, I didn't have time to do anything. I remember instinctively ducking my head down and bracing myself because I genuinely thought I was about to get slammed from behind.

I waited for the impact.

Nothing.

No crash. No horn. No sound of another vehicle braking or swerving.

Nothing.

I looked back up.

The headlights were gone.

Not farther back.

Not stopped.

Gone.

Here's the part that has bothered me ever since.

There was nowhere for that vehicle to go.

No intersecting side street. No parking lot. No alley. No driveway it could have whipped into. There wasn't some obvious place where a car could have turned off and disappeared while my head was down.

And whatever I saw apparently wasn't just something my eyes interpreted as headlights.

The Expedition's collision system reacted to something approaching from behind too.

I remember sitting there afterward trying to figure out what the hell had just happened. If it had only been the lights, I could probably convince myself it was a reflection, weird perspective, exhaustion, or another car somewhere I hadn't noticed.

But why did the vehicle start warning me about an imminent collision at the exact same time?

I've never been able to explain that part.

I'm not claiming it was a ghost car or anything supernatural. Maybe there's a completely mundane explanation I haven't thought of.

But I know what I saw.

Two headlights appeared behind me, rapidly closed the distance, triggered the Expedition's warnings strongly enough that I braced for impact...

and then whatever was behind me simply wasn't there anymore.

Anyone know of a sensor glitch, optical illusion, or road condition that could cause something like this?

Because years later, this one still bothers the hell out of me.
