When I was staying the night at my boyfriends house, I had woken up from a really scary nightmare that escapes me at the moment. Regardless, I had to use the bathroom, so I carefully slid over my partner and padded out of the room and to the bathroom.
As I was doing my business I felt I was being watched. I had finished and was washing my hands when I peered into the mirror and saw this thing moving in the shower. I remember feeling so terrified and I grabbed the plunger to protect myself. I cautiously approached the shower and with a big breath of air whipped back the curtain.
I let out a shriek when this black thing made a noise and leaped out from the tub and dashed out of the bathroom. My boyfriend woke up to my noise and came bumbling in and he flicked on the light and sitting at the top of the stairs [since his bathroom, when the door is open, directly faces the top of the stairs] all floofed up was his cat, Xabi.

I was absolutely petrified. So was the cat.​

I've never experienced anything but my cousin's friend did.

Basically, she had these two cat figures (ceramic) on her desk that were positioned so their noses were touching. They were always like that.
One day, she noticed that they had moved so that both their backs were touching instead. She lived with her mom and her mom was out most of the time with her boyfriend and barely went into her room to begin with. None of her friends did it either.

Awesomeeeeee.

My sibling's friend supposedly can see things and she told my sister that there was a figure (I think she said it was a black tall person) in our bedroom doorway :c

Also my sister was alone one day and she said she saw a demon or something on my bed...

I had a friend who told me about this shack near where they lived and if two people went into that shack, when they came out, there would be a scratch on their body in the same exact spot.

I was staying at a friend's house and I sleep in their grandchild's room. So as I was about to go to sleep, one of the child's toy sets came on and said, "Let's play!" or something like that (I have bad memory so I don't remember). I got up, turned the lights on and the switch was on, so I turned that off and went back to sleep.

One time when I was sleeping, I woke up and heard a loud bang in my room. I don't know what it was and I was too scared to find out so I went back to sleep. Also my sister's dog was sleeping and woke up scared when he heard it. He jumped off of my sister's bed. In the morning, I searched around the area that I heard it from to find the source but couldn't find anything that would have made a sound like that.

I've had some strange spiritual-like encounters before, but they weren't terrifying or scary at all, it was just... Well, weird? I dunno. But I remember when I was doing my GCSE exams last year, when we had to take our poetry paper for English, the unseen poem was about a man living life everyday as if his wife still existed, even though she had passed away. And it was an old man, too. Later on, when I finished that exam and was walking home, my dad was driving along the road and offered me a lift back to my mum's house. He sat my brother and I down in the living room, and told me my nanny passed away that day. It was... Freaky, and very, very weird. It was very unexpected and sudden (she just passed away in her sleep), and I didn't even feel sad... I just was shocked, more than anything. I just found it so bizarre that the poem they had to pick as the UNSEEN POEM was about... An elderly man losing his wife. It was just so so weird, so strange, I'm not sure if it really was just coincidence, but... God, it was weird. It was like a warning sign. I remember feeling so sad when reading the poem, too.

Also, when I was in a Japanese speaking competition which was held at the Japanese embassy (so you know, it was a big deal ^^), the night before I was so nervous and worried I could barely even sleep. Eventually, I dozed off. For some reason, the TV in the front room kept turning on by itself recently, and my mum (who was obviously devastated by my nanny passing away) liked to think it was my nanny. ^^ Welp, what do you know, this morning she said to my nanny "Please watch over Lucy today", and then a few minutes later, whilst she was tidying up, the TV switched on by itself again. And honestly, her watching over me gave me the strength and courage to speak in front of an audience of around 100+ people (something I never thought I'd ever be able to achieve in my entire life) in Japanese.

The TV in the front room hasn't switched on again since. I now have it in my room at my dad's house, too, and it hasn't done it again. I'd like to think it really was my nanny trying to communicate with us. Since then, I've really begun to believe in the existence of spirits for myself! So unfortunately I have no scary stories to tell you, but these are more weird than anything.

ill sometimes see shadow people but a few times, ive seen shadow animals. i remember i was at home sitting in the dining room doing something, i think i was watching tv or talking with my brother, when something black ran kind of behind me. i thought it was one of my cats, jiji, who has black fur obviously, so i caller her and she didnt come. i asked my brother where she was and she turned out to be in my room, whose door was closed.
spooky

This may be a little long, one ghost type thing and another just scary thing that happened non ghostly, ect..I believe when this thread first started I posted about my, what others who have seen him without knowing the story call my attached spirit, most notably this lady who was said to be a sensitive when I was a teenager and described him to my mom and the story and as she already knew from me telling her when I was younger it freaked her out. Occasionally will be out alone and through my life every rare now and then someone will comment on him not realizing no one else is visa lily there to some people. Anyway when I was a kid it was just normal would see him just like you see any normal person not like a shadow except you obviously can't reach out and grab him and he looks noticeably dated as far as clothes, hair, ect. Supposed story from him and little flashes of memory I get and "verified" by someone who couldn't have known was that we were together in a past life, there was an accident, and after I was gone he decided not to go on putting him in limbo maybe and attaching to me now...As I got older obviously saw him less, but dreams and flashes except in times of danger strange things will happen.

Almost a year ago now got into a relationship a serious one, and I never told him about that I figured what was the point didn't want him to think I was crazy. Anyway he is 22 and doesn't listen to older music like I do, a few times certain songs would come on usually early to mid 60s or early 70s and once Last Kisss that song (where oh where can my baby be) came on and he said he felt goosebumps and nauseous and ran into the bathroom. Then would say certain songs two most notably keep playing while he was at work or would switch stations on him to the oldies in the car and be those songs. Still I didn't say anything until Halloween he had taken two days off to spend the nights here,, we were sleeping and he woke up at 4 am the night before Haloween just not talking or acting like himself at all and his eyes were like this crazy silvery color I've never seen he didn't remember it the next day, but the next night Halloween he woke up morning after early and his eyes were same talking about he had this dream and there was a big group of people behind him and a fire and he was walking down a road toward it and a guy who when he described to me I recognized it was coming past him, and he said he never remembers dreams and isn't like me where I feel things in my dreams but he said he felt brushing arms with the guy and a small group of guys asked the other guy if everything was cool and he said yeah and did the ok sign with his hand and then my then fianc? said he remembered asking him if they were cool and the guy he said looked like he was crying and said yeah man we're cool and just kept walking the other way. But he was telling me all this not knowing and he seemed really worked up about it how real it felt and feeling when he hit the guy and then he said his eyes looked strange describing what his had looked like the night before. It was strange because it happened around the eclipse time on Halloween night. Anyway I ended up later on telling him a little bit about it and he described some other things that fit but told me after he had another dream with a girl in it and same guy like at a dance not to tell him anything and spot on described the girl I had seen in flashes and dreams as well that was supposedly me before. There are a lot of stories about people encountering my "protector" the biggest being a physical fight between me and my long time past ex where a loaf of bread lifted up off the counter and slammed into our apartment sliding door window making him take his hands off me.

A bunch of those, I remember once trying the tape recorder thing to get voices and having some scary stuff pop up, or things turn on and off a lot goes on around the house I grew up in and me, and my dad seems to have a weird thing with electricity and has had his own encounters and strange memories. But I like to think my "bodyguard" tends to keep those shady things away especially when I was a teenager and messing with boards and things I didn't know as much about then as now. On other notes I was very close with my grandmother and I got very very ill one night not long ago before having to go to the hospital and I remember waking up sick and running into the bathroom and out of the pocket of the robe I threw on flew out a bookmark with some bible verse signed and dated by my grandmother to me for my birthday and this was the night before my birthday this year technically was my bday as was AM anyway she's been gone since 2008, and there was no way it could have gotten in there, literally not possible. One of the last times I saw her I remember after my nose started bleeding for no reason she took my moms arm and told her to watch me because something wasn't right. This being prior to us finding out I was ill with something. So I guess as things have gotten worse lately the other night sick I like to think was her way of saying I may have felt scared and alone it was really late am and my bday but she was watching. I hope she is.

As far as non paranormal scary things, I went to Target a week or so ago and in an instant at the Starbucks counter I put my wallet down, it had all my info plus gift cards, credit, all that and way more than should be and while I was explaining what I wanted, they are way too complicated sometimes for me I don't like heavy coffee just like cold flavored drinks with milk and maybe a little coffee if any....but anyway while I was looking for a snack and asking if what I wanted was a mocha frappachino or something else someone took my wallet. Because I instinctually took it out and put it next to the pin thing to pay after I ordered but she didn't ask me to before she started making the drink so I walked over to the waiting for drink side. Turns out that some young kids were stealing so the cops were already out front on the side of the store, and what happened they say was there were two girls working the Starbucks while I was talking to the one the other took break and my wallet while the girl took forever to make my drink when I got it I reached in my purse no wallet. Realized I left it on the other end and turned around no wallet and my purse is huge nothing falls out of there and the wallet is heavy and noticeable when missing. The manager went on and on about where did I walk could I have dropped it, that they couldn't show me a security camera and didn't have one at the Starbucks I likely left it at Best Buy ect ect checked on that but knew I didn't. Then he told me coming into the store was holding something black and I know I don't carry my wallet outside in my hand so he saw the size and shape and it was my cigarette case, sorry kids, don't smoke, it's bad for you, very bad example I am...

So cops were still there after Best Buy refused to show me leaving with my wallet only my hand on it in my purse before I made another transaction add on, as the lady who rang me up left right after me for the day so he wouldn't talk to me. Back to story I was still get jittery talking about it, I was scared it has my life in it, so went over to the cop car. He said while I was waiting for my drink during that fifteen minutes a lady had found my wallet outside in the parking lot, luckily not in the trash that was too close to the cops. It had been gone through and tossed. He said looks like what happened was we think the other Starbucks girl took it but didn't have time to really go through it as the cops had just shown up outside and out front for other reasons there was no cash and apparently no time to look through for gift cards vs credits thank goodness as was right after bday and Xmas and cops to close to trash so she walked to middle of lot dumped and went back in side door. Someone found it and by the time we asked him instead of manager it had already been taken to my house and then since was not home the station...anyway sorry long story but was scary so moral don't keep anything with your social in your wallet or too much unnecessary ID and don't think it's safe to even be five to ten feet away and turn your back on the counter anymore. I was told more often it is females now with wallet snatching and if have time will write down card numbers ect and my gift cards would of been gone too seems they do more actual card using and impersonation then men who take cash and dump. So luckily a kid stole some candy or something or I would be cleaning up a mess still.

My house is around 250 years old, and a few months ago I kept thinking I could see a figure peeking behind a wall out of the corner of my eye. When I looked up, there'd always be nothing there. I never said about it to anyone cause I figured it was just a light, as I always saw it when I was sitting in the same place. Anyway, this goes on for a while, and then one night I'm talking to my dad about a show I watched about 'ghost hunters' lol. He then says 'Sometimes I think I see someone, standing just around here' and points to the exact spot where I thought I'd seen a figure all those times. I was shocked. He never ever sits where I sat as that's my seat haha and he said that he'd seen it from all different angles too. I was scared, even though I don't think I actually believe in ghosts, and my dad said if it was a ghost and was malicious, we'd probably be able to sense that. After that conversation, neither me or my dad ever saw anything weird again.

Another story, which is the only real scary thing I've ever encountered, was when I was followed home. I'd been to a beach party with friends and they all got lifts, but I said I was fine getting the bus. The bus I was supposed to catch was cancelled, and the next one was 2 hours away. It was a 45 minute walk to my house so I thought I'd just do that. I was walking along the promenade, which was pretty nice, but once I got off it there weren't many lights to go by. I wasn't that bothered though as I know my village very well. All of a sudden a man appears in front of me. It seemed like he had come out from behind a car. He strikes up a conversation, just general things, and I don't get the impression that I'm in any danger so I just go with it. Besides, I couldn't really run anywhere if I needed to right then other than back to the beach, which wouldn't be much help anyway. He asks what I'm doing out so late, and I ask him the same. He tells me that he's been playing bingo at the arcade, and that it just closed when he came out and saw me. I got weird vibes then as one of my best friends works in that arcade, and I know for a fact it closes at 10pm every night. It was well after midnight when he said he had 'just left'. Why would he lie? And what has he been doing for 2 hours if that story even is true? I text someone to call me so I can shake him off. When my phone's ringing I stop and say 'oh sorry I need to answer this, was nice to talk to you' as in ~go away I'm busy now~ and he stops, turns to face me and says 'that's okay I'll just wait til you're done.' I continue walking with him whilst on the phone to my friend, and try to drag it out and make it a really boring conversation in the hopes that he'll leave. He doesn't, so I just say that I need to have a private conversation and would like him to walk on. He accepts and walks in front of me. It's just a straight road for a long while so we're walking pretty close to each other. I notice that when I slow down, he does too, and if I stop completely he makes an excuse to stop. He tied his shoelaces and checked his phone when I tried it out twice. He kept looking round at me, seeming to check if I was still there. Finally we got up to a place where there was a road turning off. I sped up and he did too, so he was across the road, and then I pegged it down the other road. I later saw him again when I was walking to my house, and I hid behind a car this time lol. He looked confused and angry.

Edit: Forgot to mention that he said he was down here working on an archaeological dig - in a village that was at least a half an hour drive away from where we were. He said he didn't have a car and didn't give me a clear answer as to where he was headed that night. Just other things that gave me weird vibes!

Sorry that was so long it's not even that interesting!! But it's the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. I was about 13/14 at the time
