Okay, so for most of my childhood I had lived in a single home. For years, I would wake up at midnight and see a large, bulky shadow moving towards my room. This may sound crazy, but I swear it looked like a giant lion man.
Usually, I would go to sleep with my blanket over my head. I would leave an airhole because I couldn't stand stale air. If I hadn't, I would dive under the moment I saw the man. Nothing would happen after that.
I slept in a room with my brother, and I was on the top bunk at the time. At the time of this story, I thought I believed ghosts weren't real, and that I was a baby for sleeping under the covers. I was trying to get myself to stop. That night, I had left the airhole above my head, so part of my hair was sticking out.
Around midnight, as usual, I knew in my stomach the man had come. This time, instead of nothing happening, the man actually flicked my head. I dove under the covers completely, not caring about stale air. I had a hard time falling asleep afterward, which had never happened before.
I knew my brother hadn't done it, because he would have been laughing, and my parents wouldn't own up to it the day afterward.
He continued to come every night, but that was the only time he touched me. Two or three years later, my family moved because of my father's job. I haven't seen the man since.

I wonder if the people renting our house have encountered him as well?

I saw a demon today. My brother said it was "just a tiny spider" but I could tell from the look on its hideous face that it had crawled its way up from the depths of Australia to haunt me.

Dude seriously? Spiders are not supernatural creepiness.

Tries to think of creepy stuff that's happened to me
Fails, because my life is unfortunately not spoopy enough

We need to do some seriously haunted things with you. :P

This one isn't especially creepy, but one time some friends and I went to a park by my house. We were 10 and we wanted some woodsy backdrops to act out Greek myths in, and the park has a manmade island. So we went there and on top of the island's hill, there was this little divot in a stump that was filled with water. There'd been no rain recently. And around it, there were a ton of those shiny circular confettis, but the weather had been really dark and cold lately so no one would have been taking photos there. The confetti was also stuffed into parts of a tree.
So yeah, my friends and I may have found a fairy circle.

Oof ma dude. The house I live in now is said to be built on a fairy circle. There's a lot of weird things that happen, especially in the basement. Doors opening on their own and voices are the most common.

Don't mess with the fay.

Come to think of it, this same park is where me, my sister, and those same friends found a statue like this
in a plastic ziplock bag floating in the water.

If I played Oberon once do I have claim to rule over some fae?

Good to know

Come to think of it, this same park is where me, my sister, and those same friends found a statue like this <img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71xpe4DUJLL.SX425.jpg" alt="Image result for elephant statue"/
in a plastic ziplock bag floating in the water.

That's Ganesha. A Hindu God.The remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rites and ceremonies.

Weird that someone would debase a benevolent god.

Perhaps someone is trying to appease another god by doing so?

Even weirder, it looked like he was supposed to be painted, he had very chipped off blue paint. And seemed to be made of clay?

This isn't my experience, but my younger sister told me that when she was little she would see creepy stuff (she was pretty sure they were ghosts) in our house all the time. She said mostly they looked like black smoke. One morning she opened a kitchen cupboard and some black smoke trickled out. Another time she was walking down the hall and thought she saw our dad walking towards her, but he was all dark like a shadow and when she blinked he was gone. Another time we were on a road trip and she freaked out because she apparently saw a ball of ghost/smoke rolling across the highway in front of us like a tumbleweed. Nobody else ever saw anything but she still insists that she didn't make any of it up.
Side note, I've been convinced for years that our furnace room in the basement is haunted somehow. We have a radio and a printer near that room, and both of them will sometimes randomly turn on and start making noises. At this point I just tell them to shut up but it used to really creep me out.

IDK Hinduism isn't like that. (shrugs)

I'm not surprised. Hindus decorate all of their godly stautes beautifully.

Ghosts are said to be able to communicate using radio waves, so…

Gnarly af. Spooky smoke is no fun.

This isn’t really an experience I’ve had, but a close friend did.

I still remember some creepy stories my friend told me of her experiences in one of the houses she stays in. I remember it clearly because she told us it nearly every year. Didn’t get tiring though.

If you’ve ever heard of skinwalkers or skinwalkers, this is good to know before you read what I’m gonna say. Otherwise, I’d suggest reading up about them.

For your information, this is in Canada. And now, a little backstory.

My friend (call her S) goes to a town about 12 hours away from our town usually once or twice per year to hang out with family for a week or so. They party, hangout, fish, etc etc. Pretty cool stuff. S stays at a house. It’s a pretty big house. I’ve never seen pictures of it, but from stories she told me, that’s what I get from it. The house is pretty old too. But it’s got an..odd story.

The house, a long time ago was home to a woman. I don’t remember her name exactly. She lived in this house alone. She was younger, but old enough, and she also happened to be pregnant. I guess one time someone came to visit her and couldn’t find her, so they looked around for a bit, and ended up finding her in a closet. Dead. The woman hung herself.

I suppose they were already having some creepy experiences before then but nothing too bad. Back to present time, S was with her cousin downstairs in the house and playing cards. The rest of the family was elsewhere, though S and her cousin knew where they were. Well, the cousin left to get a drink, and S heard a noise upstairs. The cousin came back and S asked her, “was that you?” The cousin answered, “no, I thought that was you.” They continued playing cards and heard some light footsteps upstairs. Keep in mind during this time they both assumed their Aunt was sleeping upstairs.

“Aunt? Is that you?” S calls. She mentioned to me there was a bit of a pause before a voice like her aunts is projected back to them. “Yes.”

Again they continue playing cards and hear the footsteps a few more times but don’t ask. Eventually, a little bit by the stairs, they hear something heavy, like a person falling. S calls out, “Aunt, are you alright?”

There was no answer, so S and her cousin head upstairs, and she finds nothing by the stairs. The bedroom door where her aunt is supposed to sleep (also the room with the closet of the dead woman) is opened a tiny bit.

They enter and see no one. I guess S told me she got a bad feeling so they left the house fairly quickly and went to go find their family. They found the family, and the Aunt was there, with the family.

It didn’t really occur to me until late 2017 about the idea of Wendigos or Skinwalkers which have the ability to mimic voices.

S also told me some more experiences if you’d like to read them.

ooooooo! Do share.

OK! I have another! I was talking to my older neighbor one day and she told me that when they were building my house (we had moved in not to long ago) a construction worker died in one of the bed rooms. I asked her which bedroom and she pointed to where my bedroom was. I will occasionally her bumps and rattles from the closet. Over one summer they got kinda bad and so every time there was a bump or something I would start to talk to it (God this sounds stupid now that I'm writing it). Eventually after I started talking to it, it started to calm down and now I only hear bumps and rattles every once in a while.

That's….actually kinda sweet lol

This isn't anything paranormal but it's one of those things that tricks your eyes.

There's this thing in my neighbour's paddock. Whenever I look out the window I tend to stare at it but for some reason, I have no recollection of ever identifying what it is. It actually looks like the figure of a large person that just stands there especially when it's a bit dark. So in the evenings where dark shapes look like anything I'll watch it and it does the creepiest things. It looks almost like it's dancing but so inhumanly. It's not actually moving but it looks like it throws its hands around and walks in circles. It gets really hard to look away from because it's so creepily fascinating. I dunno it's probably the most otherwordly thing that has happened to me.

There are other things. It's not so creepy but once a long time ago I had a cardboard box full of stuff next to my bed and something hit one of those flap thingies but when I looked maybe 2 seconds after it wasn't moving and there was nothing there. Probably just an overactive imagination.
Also more recently (for context I get up super early before anyone else) the shower sounded like it had turned on by itself. This was the moment I realised I was one of those idiots who dies in horror movies because I immediately got up to check it out. It was pitch black by the way and no lights were on so it was spooky. Turns out the shower head was just leaking from one of its joints.

They were creepy at the time but fortunately my life isn't very supernatural.

Alright, here’s another one from S.
This takes place in the same house where the woman died.

So in the same house, her and her cousins were downstairs in one of the basement rooms. They had stayed up late and everyone else was likely upstairs, sleeping.

The walls in this room had a few holes in them. Not really big holes but you could see through them if there was any light or movement outside. Outside the room was a hallway I think. There was a small lamp on in the hallway.

The door was slightly opened but mainly closed.

They were just chilling out in the blankets, talking, etc. When one of the cousins said, “did you hear that?” They all listened and then they heard some light footsteps upstairs but it could’ve been one of the family members upstairs at the time, so they decided to go back to talking, a little quietly this time.

Eventually, S, Who was facing the wall with the door and the little holes sees the light sort of ‘darken’ like if someone was moving past them. The room falls completely silent and S told me that her and her cousins were just still, maybe glancing at each other but also focused on the wall. Eventually they hear some heavy boots and it gets close to the wall, stops for about 15 seconds, then approaches the door. The door sort of creaked open a little bit, further, stopped, and then the boots walked down the hallway towards the stairs again. Thing is, they never heard anyone go down or up the stairs, and nothing ever happened that night afterwards.
S mentioned that they stayed awake a little longer and had trouble going to sleep but managed.

This was the moment I realised I was one of those idiots who dies in horror movies because I immediately got up to check it out.

I relate to this so hard. I'm more curious than cautious.

I love these creepy occurrences guys!

Idk if this counts, but I bring my guinea pigs upstairs like all the time, right? So they're very comfortable upstairs and I always set them up on my bed with a couple blankets for them to chill out on so they don't pee on where I sleep. But sometimes, my youngest pig named Rocko gets hecking spooked sometimes, and he just runs across the bed and burrows into the sheets that I use to sleep (probably because it smells more like me, you know? My pigs love me. ☺️). And he just stays there, as if something moved really suddenly. When I go to lift him up, he squeaks really loud and I have to gently talk to him to calm him down.

Idk if that has to do with anything, but I know it's not me moving so suddenly to spook him, because I know not to do so because he could fall off my bed!

So idk if it's a ghost, but they're not thinking before they move. They're endangering my pig!

Now I want to see a horror movie where a house is haunted by ghosts and guinea pigs are the only ones who can see them.
