So, this is one of my scariest experiences ever. I was in my apartment and little things were starting to be relocated in a different place. (I lived alone) I came home from work one evening to every single cabinet door being wide open, and drawers were all open as well. That same night I could hear running from my bedroom door all the way to the other side of my house. This went on the whole night. I could feel the energy. It was negative energy!! That heavy feeling you get when a spirit/demon/entity (whatever you want to call them) is next to you. I called my mom the next morning and told her what was happening. I was sitting on my bed talking and all of a sudden, my bedroom door slams closed. (Shortening this) My mom came quickly, and so did my preacher. While he was cleansing my apartment, my front window shattered and it was immediately peaceful. I later found out that there was a triple homicide in my apartment!!!!

I was laying in bed with a new boyfriend and felt a weird scary energy behind me in the corner. He woke up from having sleep paralysis and said there was something standing in the corner.. the next day I had a bruise on my wrist that clearly looked like someone grabbed me really hard

My roomate called my name from downstairs. I called back out to her and got no response. A few minutes later she SCREAMED my name. “KAYLAAAAAAA” I called back out to her and again no response. I couldn’t find her anywhere. I called her phone and asked her where she was and why she was screaming my name. She said “I’m at the beach, you’re home alone right now”

This is a long story, buckle up; so, my family has had our house for a while. My great-grandparents bought it for my grandparents to live in back when houses were a dollar, and they raised my dad there. The house had recently been built on a cleared out part of a forest. It had many acres of land and a whole forest in the backyard with an overgrown railroad that barely works(yes, trains still go on it). Despite the house being new, my dad would always tell me weird things that happened while he grew up. Sometimes things would randomly fall with people being nowhere near it, doors would open and close randomly while everyone was in one place, lights would turn off and on, then flicker. It wasn't malicious, but like someone was trying to get attention. When my dad and my uncle were adults, they immediately moved out, and a few years later, my grandparents did as well, leaving the house vacant for a long time. When I was about 9, my parents decided to live in it. My great grandparents were still alive and made rent as cheap as they realistically could, so it seemed like a good option. I had never believed my dad's stories until I actually lived in that house. Everything my dad said happened far more often. Plates were practically thrown out once someone opened a cabinet, our doors flung open, power often went out despite it not thundering or the power company being fine. What solidified it was when I, jokingly, told my dad, "Man, I think Keith's likes acting up." He stared at me before speaking, "Whose Keith?" "The ghost, obviously." "Me and your grandparents used to call the ghost Keith." I still remember the silence we had after that, staring at each other with wide eyes and looks of horror. Before my dad stood up and starting yelling at Keith to stop using his name. It stopped being as severe after that. It still makes me shiver thinking I've lived with something for so long. Keith was never malicious or anything, I think he just wanted attention.

there was a ‘haunted’ room where every patient that went in there died. Had a lady who was in perfect condition stay in there. Next day she wasn’t able to talk, eat, move. She would randomly talk to people she was "seeing" and I was the only one who was like this is BS. Until her bible flew off her dresser and hit the wall for no reason- she had bruises on her as well and would randomly bleed from her legs. She died in 2 weeks. For unknown reasons. Her family sued the facility.

I spent 29 years thinking I was hallucinating people. I assumed it was stress-induced and would "reset" myself when Id see one by leaving the room. And one day my mom followed me and asked "did you see him too? you looked right at him"

TV in my room as a kid had closed captions that would pop up randomly in error (problem with the TV). One day home alone, my nickname appeared with a question mark in the closed captions.
