I’m kind of tempted to get an EMF detector and just walk around the neighborhood with it when the outside is deserted because of bad weather, to see what kind of weird shit is happening sonically.
I’ve continually gotten really bad vibes from a nearby street corner… I’ve astral projected there in my sleep past one time (involuntarily) and I saw some black hole of a creature charge after me. I got the distinct feeling it wanted me carnally and carnivorously at the same time. I had to fly as fast as I could back into my body to escape it (it remained on the ground while I flew).
I woke up with the after image of my own eyes staring into my soul, behind a white mask I used to own. It wasn’t like looking into a mirror, though; it felt sinister. I could tell I was looking into my own eyes; but there was something off about them. The eyes were completely devoid of any emotion, but extremely intense… almost as if they had a life of their own behind the reflection; or rather, as if I were the reflection in the mirror, and the eyes were the real me. Super fucking freaky.
To add to the bad vibes: There have also been numerous car crashes at that corner since I’ve been alive, at least one resulting in a woman being seriously injured. Many other times there have been near-misses. We could all hear when it happened— screeching tires, honking, cursing, and on especially unlucky days, the deafening bang of two cars ramming into each other at 40 mph on a 25 mph street.
There is also a sewer drain right on that street corner. It may just be a coincidence; but the one time I used an online ouija board, the spirit (assuming online ouija boards aren’t just a programmed gimmick) said they hated me and that they lived in the water. I refreshed the website a few times and it said the same thing. I don’t think this can be considered evidence; but it’s still weird. I’ve seen an entire family of raccoons in that sewer drain before. I have no idea how they got down there.
I also remember numerous experiences from when I was a child playing alone in my room or drawing at the kitchen table when I would be overcome with the feeling that I was being watched. I would usually come to feel so unsafe that I would drop whatever I was doing to sit in the living room or bedroom with my parents. I never told them why; I just went “nope” and moved to an area with people. My room and the kitchen are both on the side of the house that faces that corner. Mind you, I wasn’t doing anything scary like listening to “let’s not meet” stories when this happened. I was just doing normal kid stuff.
I’m by no means afraid of the dark; but I still get that feeling from the basement sometimes. All the basements on our block have flooded several times with water from the sewers during heavy rainfall because someone forgot to flip a switch for the water mains (I don’t know quite how that works). But yeah… basically the basement is connected to the sewers and storm drains… there are two holes in the floor which act as drains (which is where the flood water came from).
I remember one summer day when I was about eight or nine sitting on the can (the bathroom is right next to my room), taking a shit. We have a tiny frosted window above the bath tub; the bath tub is right next to the toilet. I distinctly saw what looked like the fuzzy silhouette of a man with gray hair standing right outside the window (full head and shoulders). He would have had to have been quite tall, or on a step stool, as the window is more than six feet off the ground from the outside. This dude shouts “Hello!” at me and fucking knocks on the window. I, of course, was startled and also mildly pissed at my dad (who is tall, but not quite that tall) for knocking on the window while I was taking a shit. I got out in the living room and asked why he knocked on the window. It wasn’t him. My parents speculated that it could have been our friend Bob who had briefly stopped by the house; but Bob was a short guy, and surely would have more fucking tact than that. Ever since then if I need to use the bathroom, I close the shower curtain.
On top of all this (completely unrelated), I’ve always had horrifying paranormal dreams since I was a kid, despite being raised without any exposure whatsoever to paranormal media. Also, I’ve had recurring dreams of a warped version of my school system, in which the buildings remain the same every time I dream of them. If there is a pool in any dream of mine, no matter how brief; it is ALWAYS haunted by some malevolent spirit… which is very weird because I absolutely love going to water parks. Always have.
Anyway… TLDR: I may have to banish something from that street corner lmfao

For a second I thought it was haunted. A split second in which the best explanation for why the closet door was resisting to shut as if something were pulling it open from inside while no one was there. For a second I didn’t want to look behind the door; I didn’t want to open it back up to check for logic… but then I did and it was just that the mop handle was wedged into the stop, under a hinge.

Lore's Ghost Experiences:
a thread 🧵 as in i'll keep adding as i experience more~
when i was around 14 or 15, i was at a church that use to be a funeral home, surrounded on all sides by graves. i didnt believe in god by that point and was only there to explore the graveyard and hang out with my friends who were christian. well, i was alone in the youth room while my friends were doing something else in another room. i had on noise canceling headphones on and loud ass music blasting. the room had three doors on three different walls, i had turned to face the wall without a door while humming to the music. i suddenly felt a presence behind me, you know that feeling when someone walks up behind you. i thought it was my friends so i started to take the headphones off and turned around. as i faced the door directly behind me, a tall black figure rushed at me and passed through me. i screamed and fell. it felt like it pushed me down. the headphones slid across the floor. i looked around in confusion and felt... idk. i felt like it took a piece of me. my friends ran in and helped me up and asked what happened. when i told them, the one whos dad was the pastor said that there were spirits here and theres a black shadow. it had only been seen in fleeting glances until now but everyone felt like it wasnt friendly. after that, a medium and seer friend i had told me out of nowhere that i had a shadow that wasnt mine following me and it was covering my aura. since then, ive been working to rid myself of this and get whatever it took from me back. i dont know what it is exactly or why it did that to me. i dont know the extent of the damage it has done to me either. but i know that i will never forget seeing it and the feeling of being passed through. it felt like my insides got covered with thick ink.
(any fellow witches feel free to please let me know what you think this being was. dont just say demon please, i dont believe in pure good or bad like that. and i dont believe in christian interpretations of demons and angels. thank you for your advice!)
i was again at the funeral home church. i saw one of the good ghosts clearly. i was waiting by the front door for a friend. next to that door is an office of my friends mom. i saw movement from my side vision and turned my head. CLEAR AS DAY, i saw legs covered by blue jeans and brown boots walk the rest of the way into the office, the body was already in the threshold. i thought it was my friends mom so i went to the door to ask where my friend was. noone was in there. i stood there looking like an idiot when my friends mom did appear behind me and asked whats up? she was wearing a dress with flats. i asked for my friend and she told me she was in the youth room. the mom went into her office and closed the door. chills!
my house is haunted. none of the spirits are malevolent, at least not anymore. one of them, a man, lives in my room, in my closet. he sometimes wakes me up if i oversleep. the most vivid way he has was, i woke up to my alarm but turned it and all my others off. about five minutes of light dozing later, i hear a very clear audible "hey!" right in my ear. my back was facing the closet. i jumped up and said "im up!" as though someone was in my room. i looked around and didnt feel fear or confusion. i just felt thankful. i got up for the day after that. i have visual hypopompic (while waking) hallucinations but i dont have audible ones. and i dont have hallucinations while fully awake, audible or visual.
im not sure what this was... i was in my room chilling when i felt my house shaking. my first thought was something is outside. cause my area doesnt get earthquakes at all. it was bright and sunny outside. i move my curtain and look out the window and see a FUCKING PLANE. close enough i can see the windows and lights and writing on the side!! it was close enough that it shouldve scraped my backyard tree!! it was going down too and the area is wouldve landed had a house and a HUGE forest! but when i went to check. nothing?? and noone else saw the plane! i still cannot explain wtf that was. there arent any plane crashes in my area either.. i know it wasnt a hallucination tho cause i heard the engines and it shook the whole house and my cats were hiding cause they got scared by the noise.

a ghost for a roommate
(~500 words, for your convenience!)
have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a ghost for a roommate? do they pay rent, do they help keep the house tidy?
well, according to a story coming in from the lovely @buggissorry , they don’t pay rent, but they do help tidy up.
Bugg is a very good friend of mine, and I’ve actually been on call with him when one of the ghosts in their house, Michael, came by. as someone whose experience with ghosts has been limited by returning home at the end of the day, I was curious as to what it was like to live with them.
and, kindly, Bugg agreed to talk about suns experience!
when Bugg moved into his home at three years old, they were unaware of the experiences of the previous owners. it wasn’t until around fifth grade that lo and their family received an explanation for when things would fall over for no reason, for when they would hear odd knocks and bangs around the house and the things they would see in the corners of their eyes: the house was haunted.
a teacher assistant in Bugg’s class was actually the grandchild of loves house’s previous owner, and had a lot of ghost stories to tell.
Michael reportedly likes taking care of and tidying up the house, moving things in Bugg’s room specifically. sol will sometimes come home to find things all moved around in an attempt to make it cleaner! a spirit box session from a few years ago revealed that his name (or what he’d like to be called) was Michael. he claimed to be a good spirit, and after that said something along the lines of wanting to stay around the house.
after asking some more questions, Michael gave them nothing, and they decided to end the session.
Bugg says they think Michael lived in loves house before his death, and that he died in his old bedroom, which is now Bugg’s (hence the upkick in activity in there). something additional is that there may be another spirit in their home who might happen to be Michael’s granddaughter!
they call her Emmy because they haven’t had a chance to ask her for her proper name. there’s theories that she was murdered, but nothing is known for sure. however, Bugg has had a conversation with her through Emmy knocking on the wall as a response!
around midnight, Emmy knocked a bottle of paint off Bugg’s desk. he asked her if she could stop, to which she knocked. they proceeded to talk that way for a little bit until Bugg’s mother interrupted to tell sol to go to bed.
he hasn’t had a conversation with her since.
all in all, Emmy is a little bit of a trickster, and Michael is just a pleasant old gentleman who wants to make sure his old home is taken care of. I’m inclined to believe in this ghostly duo, but I’m also inclined only to believe what I can verify in person, for certain. yet, who knows? maybe I’ll do a little swim across the ocean some far off day in the future, and give both my friend and his spirits a visit.

Time Skip?
I think I just experienced a time skip? I was drawing, and I looked at my watch. The time was 12:40 something. I drew for about 30 more minutes, and I checked the time again. It said 12:42. I thought it had malfunctioned. I wanted a second opinion, so I checked my laptop, and it said 12:40. What happened there, man? Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any info would be appreciated.

A slowly dawning look of confusion
And I realize that I’ve gotten carried away
By another torrent of pressured speech
Again
One key idea
Opens the floodgates
To a rushing river
Of memory and thought
Inexplicable experiences
Out of the ordinary
Spiritual in context
Manifold in potentiality
Meanings too numerous to grasp
At once
Unfolding through linear time
Like an origami puzzle
Ontological shock
Progresses toward
Some kind of understanding
Leaving me rather distant
In an experiential sense
Like being on an island
Isolate and alone
But for a bustling trade
In bottled messages
And the invisible friends
Who stand astride
The line
Between this world
And the next
Like the ghosts
Of yesterdays paradigm

the footsteps in our grandfather’s house
(~500 words, for your convenience!)
where do I even begin with that house?
you never felt alone. the walls seemed to pulse with life. the air was death.
I heard a lot of strange stories growing up, most of them ghost stories and one of them, a story about a pixie—but none of these seemed to click for me. not until I got older and thought back to my time there.
no matter how fast or slow I went up the stairs to the second floor, I would always hear footsteps following after. it was an old house, I reasoned, so of course there would be some creaking. whether its age could have contributed to the energy of death, or the stories I’ve heard, I can’t say with absolute certainty. a lot of them are way in the past.
still, some are closer to the present than I would like—closer to me than I would like to think about.
I’m skeptical, but optimistic.
I’d like to believe that some of the weird stuff that happens on planet Earth actually happens. that said, when I talk about these experiences, I’ll be pulling from the perspectives of the other people present rather than just myself.
one of my little siblings (let’s call them R) provided their input on this story.
we’ve always been a little apprehensive of the upstairs floor of our grandfather’s house. and so, when the three of us (R, myself, and our other little sibling O) took a trip up to the bathroom, we did it together. O went in first, and then it was R’s turn.
R reported that they asked if we were leaving because they heard footsteps on the stairs. O and I said we weren’t, but thought it was our other sibling S coming up.
O and I decided to be meanaces and scare S, so we hid. after a minute, R came out of the bathroom and we asked them if anyone was coming up the stairs. R said no. no one was near the stairs.
at that point, we all ran down the steps to find the rest of our relatives.
this story in particular is something significant to me, because before R and O were even born, S and I would run wild in that house and hear all sorts of things. I myself never felt like I was alone, and would hear footsteps following me up and (most horrifyingly) down the steps to the second floor.
another story about this house comes from R!
after our grandfather died, R and our mother were sorting through some of his things with other members of our family. R heard someone sneeze and said bless you, but our mother said no one sneezed.
this next bit isn’t much of an experience per se, but a lot of people in our family agree that the ghosts that used to be in that house followed after our grandfather when he passed. personally? I feel that most did go, the most oppressive ones anyhow, but some remained to welcome the next people who were to live there.
do I believe his house was haunted? I think so. but at the end of the day, I only believe in what I can verify in person, for certain. I never got the chance to investigate the house for real. but, if I had, I think that maybe, I would have found something to sway my mind.
