More stories please.
Okay, I'll post more of mine. My brother lives with his girlfriend and their two dogs. Whenever they leave to go somewhere, my brother turns the radio on for the dogs to calm them down while they're away. His girlfriend told me that he once came home from work and heard just static on the radio. He then listened closer and started hearing the voice of our grandma, who passed away two years ago. It freaked him out enough to turn off the radio drive off somewhere I guess. Anyway, I was house-sitting and babysitting their dogs for a week or so this past July while they were attending a wedding in California. I went out for a run one night around 8 pm and turned on the radio for the dogs before I left. When I came back, all of the lights in the house were off besides the kitchen chandelier and the radio was playing static instead of the music I left on. I started freaking out and turned it off and I think I went for another run lol. Everything was normal when I got back, but I was tired. I think I stayed up watching Hulu the whole night that night and unplugged the radio when I slept.
The same week I was house-sitting, monsoon season happened to be starting up. So almost every night I stayed there, it stormed. Really hard. Like wind, lightning, rain. One night around 7 pm I got out of the shower and heard really loud wind passing through the screens on the windows. It sounded like horror movie wind. It was a bit spooky, but then I started hearing an incredibly loud banging on the front door. The dogs were going nuts and everything. It was just a nonstop pounding. I thought someone was trying to get into the house. I looked out the window but nobody was at the door, and I was still hearing the banging. I got the worst chills ever. I eventually just opened the door, and found out what was making the noise. They have a big wooden "NO SOLICITING" sign on the door that the wind was banging against the door. Lol. That was a relief. While I had the door open, I decided to go pick up an overturned planter in the yard when the front door just slammed shut. I thought it was the wind of course, but the wind wasn't blowing in that direction. So it's a bit weird. Hmm. The lights also flickered a bit that night from the storm, but. I tried my best to ignore it.
I've also seen people talking about night terrors/sleep paralysis in this thread. My Environmental Science instructor happened to bring it up today in class too. Anyways, it's only happened to me twice. Once when I was in elementary school and once when I was in junior high and I remember them really well. When I was in elementary school, I remember waking up really late one night (no lights were on in the house) and I noticed my room was really dark, way darker than normal. I think I had a lava lamp back then, but I couldn't see it because of the darkness. Anyway, I just remember waking up randomly, sitting up, and seeing something really dark standing in my doorway. I was terrified and I didn't know what it was and I couldn't move. It was just looking at me. I could not see any features, but I could tell it was looking at me. And I was scared out of my mind. I was frozen in fear and could not move. I tried to scream for my mom and my mouth was moving, but no sound was coming out. And I thought that screaming would make the dark... thing... person go away, but it didn't and it just stood there. I wanted to get up and go get my mom, but I could not move, and that thing was standing in my way anyway. After about 30 seconds of trying to scream for my mom with no words coming out, I suddenly laid back down back and passed out. I woke up the next morning and asked my mom why she didn't come when I screamed for her and she told me she didn't here anything last night.
The next occurrence happened in a similar way. I lived in a different room at this time. I was in junior high and I randomly woke up in the middle of the night and sat up. My room was completely pitch black besides my alarm clock. Things were moving around in my room. Like dark creatures. There were tons of them and they were moving around and bumping into things. They were in the air too. I could see thing move past the light of my alarm clock as well. It was also oddly windy and I heard noises. Once again, I screamed for my mom, but no words came out. And once again, I could not move and was stuck in a sitting up position. They black entities kept moving around in my room until suddenly, the floor lamp next to my bed, fell over onto the carpet and broke. At the sound of it shattering, something suddenly pushed my body back into my bed and I immediately sat back up, almost as if I had just woken up from a nightmare. I was breathing really heavily, but I thought it as just a nightmare. I went back to sleep and woke up with a sore throat, my floor lamp broken on the floor, and my chest had a huge red mark and bruising on it from whatever force pushed me back into my bed.
