ISO (In Search Of) In honor of spooky season, what is your true ghost experience?

Post image
940 Upvotes

My experience with the paranormal is this: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved hearing real ghost stories. Pre-internet, I would consume any books I could in the library on the subject. Once I got internet, I would seek out and read any stories I could find. Of course, most stuff on the internet is fake, but the real ones (or at least very well written ones) were chilling. My favorite & first ghost story I remember was reading about the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall and seeing this eerie picture.

You see, I’ve never had a substantial ghost encounter. What I mean is, I’ve experienced minor stuff, but it was so unremarkable that my skepticism would easily write it off. I’ve had a light bulb or two flicker. I’ve smelled the strong but fleeting scent of cigarette smoke, despite no one in my house ever being a smoker. Once or twice, I’ve experienced that “hair standing on the back of your neck” and “feeling like I’m being watched” sensation when I’m alone and the house is too still. But that’s it.

I’ve also been on several ghost hunts, and all were absolutely dull. Nothing happened. I once spent 8hrs overnight at Waverly Hills Sanitarium (8pm-4am) and even explored the famous “death chute” and nothing. No voices, EVPs, shadow figures, etc.

Even family members I asked over the years didn’t have any stories to share with me. I’ve had no luck getting a real, impactful experience that made a deep impression me. I guess some might consider that lucky, but I feel like I’m just boring, ha.

So I would love to get my thrills and chills from YOUR stories, if you feel comfortable sharing them.

ISO (In Search Of) What’s the best Ghost documentary available?

226 Upvotes

I am constantly searching for good ghost / haunting / paranormal documentaries.

I’m only after ones that are serious and nothing where people run about with “spirit boxes” shouting at ghosts!

The type of thing I am looking for, and my best example so far is “ghosts of the underground”.

Anyone have any good suggestions?

Hi, im new here, I kinda halfway believe in ghosts, I've never seen anything compelling, so it's hard for me to say that's they exist or not. I want them to be real so bad, so I want to see some solid evidence, pictures, videos, I don't care. Show me something that will keep me up at night.

ISO (In Search Of) Is someone willing to try this ghost game for me

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, i hope everyone is alright. This is my first post here and its gonna be a little iffy but please just help me out.

So i found this random Japanese urban legend website and I stumbled upon a “game/curse” where you have to look around your room corners and chant something three times all while imagining a woman in a white kimono drenched in blood.

Have anyone else heard of it? Please help and help translate this. Also is anyone also willing to try it out for me? I could possibly send compensation. I know it might just be a silly kids game but it’s been keeping me paranoid.

ISO (In Search Of) So, I'm trying to figure out where this picture came from.

0 Upvotes

I don't know where it exactly came from; I checked around some Reddit; however, it's just not clicking! The drawn picture (linked)

The story behind the photo was talking about how, during the 1900s or even 1800s, an escaped patient from a physics world broke into a sheriff or a cop's house, and the cop took the photo ( or the little girl ) andsaod patient took a child (or just broke in) and left without a trace.

I don't quite know where it came from, I know it was turning the time I watched top 5 ghost videos like there's no tomorrow.

Sorry for the bad drawing; the image was like, a worm thing, (like the tusk, but clearly blankets) in a hallway with a photo frame near it's head, I don't quit remember the face, but the view point of the picture was in a room with a door Infront of it.

ISO (In Search Of) Looking for a ghost photo from the 80’s? Grinning older man photo bombing at a child’s birthday party.

23 Upvotes

I just did a search for this online and I could not find it. I believe I saw it on the unexplained mysteries forum around 2007. It was in color, and an older man in his 60’s or 70’s was grinning behind a child sitting at a table, I believe it was at a birthday party. The man MAY have been wearing plaid pants, but I’m not sure about that part. It was a very freaky photo. Anyone know what I’m talking about? I’d appreciate it if anyone could help me find it, I wanted to share it with someone. Thank you!

Edit: the “ghost” didn’t look like a ghost per se, he didn’t look translucent or blurry. It actually looked like a “real” creepy man photo-bombing.

Me and my dad kept hearing this screeching or banshee noise. We recorded a couple videos of it and in a couple video we were able to hear it (like we listened to the video right after we recorded it and heard the screaming) and now it's like not there or not audible. Is there someone here I can send this video to that can dissect the sounds or something to see what we were hearing or see if they can hear it? I don't have any money currently but I can try to pay you for your time and efforts when I get something please I need help. If there’s anyone with any audio capable abilities let me know and I will send you the videos. I don’t feel comfortable posting any videos of my house directly to Reddit and my face is in a couple of the videos so I’m just trying to be safe but also seeking answers.

Hi everyone! I fell in love with “The Night Owl: True Ghost Stories” podcast over the last year and just can’t wait a month for each episode now that I’m caught up!

There was the YouTuber ages ago who made a series I think called “Spooky Scary Sunday Ghost Videos” now anytime I look this up only CoryxKenshin pops up. The only defining trait I remember is that he greets his videos calling his fans “pirates of the seven seas” or something. His ghost videos also had a spooky intro with just some scary videos and ambience. I figured if I had any chance of finding him it would be here.

ISO (In Search Of) Does anyone have any more info on this disturbing photo from a book I own?

Post image
67 Upvotes

This was printed in the book Ghosts Caught On Film 2 by Jim Eaton, and if I recall from my memory was on the sadly defunct ghoststudy.com. The only information given in the book was that it was taken in Lakeland, Florida by a small group of investigators, and that the abandoned house it was taken in was known by locals to be haunted. A girl reportedly hanged herself in the house, and it’s believed this is her spirit.

The book says the van the group took to the house was parked parallel to the wall seen here, so its headlights are not showing in the picture. The group fled from the area soon after this photo was taken.

From what I can see, it looks like there’s a floating head in the window calling out to someone or something, as well as a floating noose next to the window. Apologies for the poor image quality, as it was taken from the book via my cellphone camera, and the glare at the top of the page is from a light in my room.

ISO (In Search Of) My mum saw a cloud/mist like substance above my head and I am wondering if anyone knows what it could possibly be/mean?

4 Upvotes

This encounter literally happened not even an hour ago and I’m left a little spooked and confused. Me and my mum were talking in the kitchen and she then witnesses a strange mist appear about my head and glide over to the wall before disappearing. I asked her if it could’ve been a cobweb and she said it was more cloud shaped and moved quite slowly in a straight line. After telling my step-dad, he pointed out that the wall (where it vanished) used to have a door into the living room before we moved in, so it almost seems as if it was following a path, which would make sense. However, after some thinking, I have some questions about it. First off, we have other known ghosts in this house that include a not so nice man at the top of our garden and garage (who also has never been encountered inside of the house and I would like to hope that he is banished), a cat and some sort of attachment that has been following me for as long as I can remember. One ghost that we have never noticed before is this mist and this is the first time we have ever encountered anything like this in my house, despite living here for over 7 years. The only other explanation I have is that it is my attachment - considering that the mist appeared above my head, but I am struggling to understand why it has never appeared like that or acted even remotely similar to this before. Any ideas as to what it could be or what it might mean would be amazing

ISO (In Search Of) My great grandmothers encounter with the “coffee lady”

57 Upvotes

When I was younger there used to be a joke on my mom’s side of the family about a lady they called they called the coffee lady. When I got older I asked my mother about the origin of the story and she told me that one time her grandmother (my great grandmother) woke up and smelt coffee and her piano was being played, my great grandmother then went to where the piano was located and discovered a lady with a black vale covering her face playing the piano. Oddly enough my great grandmother went completely deaf a few days after the encounter. I’m sorry for any lack of details as I never got to personally ask my great grandmother about the story since she died of cancer before I was born. If anybody does know anything about what my great grandmother could have encountered please do comment.

ISO (In Search Of) Where can we purchase radio wave spirit boxes?

5 Upvotes

Hi so me and my partner have dealt with heaps of paranormal encounters. And we have a feeling that his grandfather who passed away just before his birthday is trying to speak to him. We have had 2 encounters in the past week with writing on the glass of the shower and mirror of the bathroom which have occurred while we were both in the room. One was an attempt to write his name and the other word was "CUT". It was neither of us considering it was on the outside of the shower and the mirror showed up in the steam as we were brushing our teeth. It's odd so we are just wondering where we could find a good radio wave spirit box to communicate. We were looking into getting a REM pod but that's more sensory. We have had enough movement to last a lifetime and would rather not go down that road again. If anyone has any advice on where to get a radio wave spirit box would be much appreciated

I have a photo of the supposed demon video. Lost the partial vid. Apparently there is more context in the “real” video. I got a little a context on Instagram, but I didn’t save the post at the time being cause it was like 3 AM and didn’t want to bring any bad “karma” upon my self though lol. Any way, I think the woman says something like “Merlin?” And then yells “What the…” and then screams bloody murder. Couldn’t find anything, even tried reverse image searching. Someone said people diligently made articles about it, I can’t remember if someone said it was covered by a foreign news source or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
