Weird/Scary Things That Have Happened To You

Also this probably isn't very interesting but one day when I was walking home from junior high school, there was a black car that followed me the whole way there. It was always right behind me moving really slowly, but the windows were tinted so I couldn't make out who was inside. I walked down a few random streets before walking onto my own, because I was kinda paranoid and didn't want them to see where I lived, but they continued following me. I ended up just walking back to the school and waiting for them to leave and after they finally did I went home. After that day I saw the same car again a few times, just roaming back and forth on my street.

Oh god, that's really terrifying! Report it if that happens again. I hope you're okay! D:
 
I don't what to call it really but the closest thing is 'Alien hand syndrome.' [Even though that acts in waking hours ]

It rarely happens but it happens when I'm stressed or tense about something and it occurred again last night. My hand, always my left, works involuntarily. It mostly happens when I'm sleeping or in a daze [i.e half asleep, just waking up]
Last night I woke up to my left hand hovering over me and my right hand on my neck.
This has been the first time where my right hand was doing something. I've started to sleep on my hands but that doesn't seem to work as I toss around at night.
 
One day when I was about 14 or so, I was home alone late at night when all of a sudden I heard someone banging on the front door. I didn't open it, I had no idea who it was. I was terrified, so I crawled to the hallway and sat there panicking not knowing what to do because I didn't have a cell phone, and I think our house phone was disconnected at the time. I had no way of calling my parents/911 etc. I freaked out even more because it looked like whoever was banging on the door was walking around the house, probably looking for a way in? I saw a shadow moving in the backyard/heard leaves crunching so yeah. they left eventually but I legitimately thought I was going to die.

Literally this exact thing happened to me. I was 15 and it was around 11pm and my parents still weren't home, so I was in the living room watching movies while I waited on them to come home. I live in the middle of the mountains & I have no neighbors for nearly 20 miles around, and then I heard knocking on the back door. Obviously I had the doors locked, so I got up and went to unlock the door expecting my parents to be there.

except they weren't. I just opened the door and stared into black forest for a split second and then I slammed the door shut.

Now that I think about it, whatever was out there is now probably in my house because I opened the door oh god
 
I have bad Sleep Paralysis sometimes, which basically is i'm awake but can not move my body AT ALL, or open my eyes. It is absolutely terrifying. Sometimes I imagine that something is coming to get me or my parents or trying to wake me up but i can't move. I can feel myself breathing very heavily and panicking but there's literally nothing I can do. It's so horrible and i get scared to sleep sometimes. Once i am like 95% sure i almost died because of this, my face was smothered in my pillow and i was suffocating and couldn't move and i think i moved like an inch, giving me some air and then i finally woke up. Ugh, it's horrible and scary D;
 
I also have a friend who used to live in this creepy house with her siblings, one of whom is much younger than us. One time, she was home alone, taking care of him, and all of a sudden they hear this tapping sound coming from the floor, below them. Her brother starts tapping back, and tells her that someone's talking to him. It freaked her the hell out, especially since stuff like that had happened to them (specifically her little brother) before.

^ O__o||| I'd probably be standing there, telling myself not to tap back.
The floor board part reminds me of that horror story Penpal.

Thanks for sharing your stories!

Hmm, I've never heard of Penpal. I may look it up.

But yeah, they had a bunch of creepy experiences with that little boy in their house. One of them involved seeing shadows on the landing outside of her brother's bedroom, as well as seeing a small shadow advancing towards him as he was sleeping. Thank god they moved.

I was home alone with my sister one day and she was watching supernatural. I used to have nightmares about killers and ghosts, but I got over it, but then supernatural came.

Supernatural made me feel like puking. When I tried to sleep I saw ghosts that were in my imagination. I cried one night and whispered "Stay away, please, don't hurt me.." and kept on thinking I heard voices. I thought I heard banging on my window and I got up and looked outside and there was nothing. I saw figures of both skeletons and just straight up white bodies laying on the ground. Every night was sleepless and I was an insomniac for a while. I never slept and every day every five minutes I yawned. I can only think about nice things and I thought the world was against me. I got over it though..

And got my first night with sleep in forever.
 
Omfg thank god you are okay.

lmfao thank you for caring <3 it's just all in my mind and a lot of people get it apparently so it's not too uncommon but i'm fine hehehe
 
Wtf, that last one was really creepy, even if it's not necessarily paranormal. I hope you're okay, that would have really freaked me out if I had been in your position.

Oh god, that's really terrifying! Report it if that happens again. I hope you're okay! D:
Heh yeah I'm okay, I never told anyone about it but we ended up moving to a new house a few months later. I kinda miss it there but lots of strange things happened in that neighborhood.

That would freak me out so much, I'm sorry it happens to you. D:
 
I love this thread so much omg.
One time earlier this summer, I was trying to take a picture of the moon outside my window, I accidentally had the flash on though, so it didn't work. I looked at the failed picture before I deleted it and there was this bright white light in the woods, zooming in closer it looked like a face. It freaked me out so much, I sent the picture to all my friends on a group chat and I couldn't sleep. It was like the flash caught a demon or something.. so scary. I'm not sure if I still have the picture, or if I deleted it, but it still creeps me out to this day.

There are certain sections in that story that are quite...disturbing.

Sometimes, I feel like some of these 'shadows' and 'movements of unexplained origin' are caused by the crossing of dimension , and it's all a timey-wimey-matter.
Those 'shadows' might be just as scared and freaked out as we are because of this overlapping of dimension XD

I can only imagine how frustrating & even dreadful for you to try to get some undisturbed sleep, without having to, say, fight for your breath. =__= (hopefully there are some medication that would help relieve the symptoms...?)
 
I talked to a hypnotist once.

He said he had this girl come in, and as she relaxed and went into a trance, she started talking about this 'alter ego', referring to herself by another name, and started talking about an entirely different race of people- really mundane stuff about them, like how they kept this certain other creature as a pet, and how all of them at one point or another had wanted to 'escape' into a physical human body to experience it.

Now, yeah, it's just BS, but I think what got to me was that the next person that came in after her continued talking about this place and these people when they went into a trance as well. Buhuhuh. Scary stories to tell in the dark, y'all.



NOPE NO WHY this is horrible oh my god

Little legs and everything. sghkjsg;

How disturbing? I looked it up, and it seems that it originated on reddit, so I was gonna save it until sometime when I have time to lose sleep over scary things (probably next month). If it's gonna totally mess me up, though, I'd rather not.

I've looked on the NHS website loads and all it says is to have a better sleeping pattern (to be honest, mine is horrible) and it is quite common in young adults. My dad told me he used to have it when he was younger too so maybe it's just something i'll eventually grow out of like he did.
 
When I was little (well 10) me and my friends used to get bored so we were walking around the school when we came across some Wrighting on a wall that hadn't been there before. We thought it was just some dumb joke but we were bored so we decided to investigate. It basically said that there was a student from the school who had died of a unknown cause. We were all there like wow so original. In class the next day we were sitting there and something fell from absolutely know where and hit my friend in the head, she fell unconscious but woke up a couple minutes later and was fine. Over the course if the next few weeks the power went out a couple times, things fell and we even saw a figure sitting on the back of the class room a few times. A bit scarce we went to look at the wall again and there was some more writing. This time it was the initials of me and and my friend who lived in the same village. So we went to our most trusted teacher and she let us look at the school records and sure enough there was the boys name and that he had died. On the weekend me and my friend went to the graveyard to see if we could find anything and she noticed something that hadn't been there before and we were sure of it since we went a lot to vist family. A new grave, the stone was a couple hundred years old though. Curious we went to look at the grave, to our shock and horror it was the boys name and the exact same information on the records. The next day the pipes at our school broke and the power went off in the middle of summer. When we were finally let back to school we cautiously went to the wall and found that the writing was gone. When we started to walk off we saw the figure straight in front of us, this time we could see it clearly and it indeed was the figure of a schoolboy. Slowly it sank into the ground and we never saw it again, the power cuts stopped too. Needless to say we never went there again and were very glad to leave.

Not exactly scary but it was at the time
