Pandas, we all love a good creepy story, especially when there's no easy explanation for what happened. From strange figures caught in photos to unsettling encounters that people still can't make sense of, the internet is full of stories that make you wonder whether there's more going on than meets the eye. And whether you're someone who believes in the paranormal or prefers to look for a logical explanation, it's hard not to get a little spooked by some of these accounts.
We came across some particularly eerie ones on r/ParanormalEncounters, where people share their strangest experiences with the unexplained. Some might have a perfectly reasonable explanation, while others are much harder to brush off. Keep scrolling, Pandas, and see what you make of these creepy encounters!

#61 Dad Saw This At Night
This was taken sometime mid 2025?
So originally my dad told me he saw something paranormal / jinn /ghost esque while walking our dog at night, i didnt believe him bc i thought maybe his meds are making him act up.
He had like genuine scaredness in his voice, and he showed me this picture. It's been super scary to me ever since.
It looks to me like a little girl sitting on the spinny thing (this is a playground)
Any explanations??

#62 Firearm Advice
Before I even begin - I believe the thing in the picture is a person. The last thing I want to do is put another person in harms way. I’m well aware of firearm safety and I will retreat before opening fire on anything. That being said:
In the very near future a group of my friends and I are going to visit an abandoned/defunct prison in the middle of nowhere. The owner of the land and building have given us permission. The prison is set to be demolished in February and this will be the last opportunity for us to explore it.
The image I added was provided by the owner. He warned us that this thing (I believe it’s just a hermit or possibly someone living in the woods) is out there. The owner thinks whatever’s out there is not a person. The good news is he doesn’t think anyone is IN the prison though because it’s locked up and inaccessible. We inquired as to if he would allow us to bring firearms. He said yes.
So, what would you recommend? I own an Aug and thought that would probably be sufficient. I also have an AR9 (9mm) as well as a regular Glock. Whatever I bring will be fitted with a light and I will also have a headlamp.

#63 Girl Drying Hair With Towel?
Hopefully post accepted under rules 1/2. Sorry to be that guy but the other post seems to create a lot of noise, I strongly believe the explanation is as above.
As other pointed out, It's just a woman drying her body and hair in a corner, which explain fscing a corner, messy hair and the fact that is not a jacket, but a creased towel.
The same type of towel behind the door, convemiently cropped in the original ( BTW same poster, different username).
Also it does explains the whole "inaccessible to man, messy hair etc..."
The OOP also just used a different account, which explain why we have more of the same picture (so unlikely not AI expanded) as the original was cropped, I guess to hide the same towel leading to explanation. Also OP admits having interest in paranormal outside this sub, so it tracks trying to get attention. Still leave OOP alone, is not stolen.
I got creeped out at first too, but then scrolling through comments it's pretty obvious IMO.
Not sure if anyone is fsmiliar with those settings and can confirm/Deny.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

#64 There Was Something In My Woods Last Night
So last night at about 2 am while letting my dogs out I noticed some lights in the woods around the outside of my fence. It's maybe 80-100 feet from my window. After investigating further I noticed it looked like glowing red eyes. Maybe 10-12 feet high. I kept an eye on em for maybe an hour. The lights stayed pretty still seemed to maybe tilt a lil kinda like turning of a head but nothing more. Pictures were taken from inside hence the curtain, I wasn't about to go outside and check it out haha.
