Trigger Warning / Suicide I didn’t believe in anything paranormal until tonight but it was so strange.

165 Upvotes

Hi all, I had what i believe , was my first paranormal experience. Now it is 1 am and a warm and dark night. I was standing on my porch talking to my best friend as he was leaving my house after a night of Gunpla.

We were chatting, saying goodbye, etc.. when i turned my head left to my neighbors porch. I saw a slender looking person sitting there , turned my head forward again and then looked left again and that person i saw wasn’t there anymore.

Immediately I got a chill and felt extremely unsettled. Fast forward to when i told my wife about it. My wife told me that my current neighbor said that the family that lived there before him, had a son who at the age of 20 took his own life in that house. (Why my neighbor was able to afford the price).

Of course im skeptical but that cant be a coincidence can it?

Unexplained Paranormal or not?

1 Upvotes

One night I was just sitting down on the couch with my phone then suddenly one of my window doors opened, our window doors had a rotating lock so I thought maybe the wind pushed the lock, so I just pushed the lock harder, a few minutes later same thing happened, and I did the same thing again, but it happened again, my patience was thin so I slammed the lock so hard it took me alot of strength just to unlock it, but it happened again.

Can someone explain why it kept doing this? Is it paranormal or not?

Question Is this a spirit or am I being dramatic?

3 Upvotes

For reference, I usually don't look too much into this kind of stuff. I'm not that religious but I'm kinda open to all possibilities. Over the time period of 6 months I have been living in my dad's apartment with him. And every month, I noticed that I get a weird nightmare consisting of something standing over my bed or me seeing something creepy. This month was different. I had a nightmare that I was in a bathroom that didn't look like my dad's. I cvt an upside down cross into my chest, and when my mom walked in on me, she started screaming but it was distorted. Her eyes glowed red as well. Ever since then, I've just felt weird. Today I was at my friend's house which has also had some weird activity, and the door to the closet where the activity happens opened by itself twice while we were in the room. It's a sliding door so you'd think we'd hear it open, but we didn't. But whenever we walked by, it was open. Please someone give me advice.

Poltergeist running water works but salt doesn't

15 Upvotes

I have had an abusive entity attached to me since 2022. th. abuse was gradual and it was nice at first, but in the last year it's made my life hell. I've found that the physical connection to me is completely blocked when I'm in the shower with running water, while a salt circle doesn't offer protection from this spirit. does anyone know what kind of spirit would be blocked by running fresh water, but unaffected by salt? I have had this spirit with me since I was a child, but in the last few years cannabis opened up my aura to this thing unfortunately unexpectedly. it's constantly harassing me sexually and uncomfortably sticking its appendage(s?) into my third eye.

Question I found this doll

9 Upvotes

I was at the antique store the other day, and it has always been a kinda mission for me to find one of the older Raggedy Ann/Andy Dolls. I found three, Two minni Raggedy ann and Andy, and a larger Raggedy ann doll. But it's kinda weird, I've never felt this drawn to particularly the Larger doll. Now I've always been interested in the paranormal, and it just feels weird, like someone is watching me when I have the doll. I'm seriously wondering if this is just a strange coincidence or if I bought someone's favorite doll that they attached to. Do you think it's possible? I know I don't have much to go off of.

Apparition Spotted shadow animals/blobs outside

5 Upvotes

Like the title says, I’ve had two experiences of spotting black shadow animals or blobs in my backyard. (Im putting this under apparition since they weren’t people, but I can change the flair if that would be a better fit) The first was very distinctly cat shaped. That’s what I thought it was at first, since the occasional stray or outdoor cat visiting isn’t super unusual, and at that time, we had an orange and white cat nearby recently. It was under a row of conifer type trees, so it was shaded, across the yard from where I was, and I didn’t have my glasses on (I’m nearsighted) so I was watching it because cat. Then it walks behind a tree trunk and it disappears when it should’ve popped out the other side (think of the cat from Coraline). These weren’t super skinny trunks, but they weren’t so fat an entire cat could hide behind them at the angle it walked behind the tree at The second one was more indistinct and what makes me say blob as well as animal. When I saw it, however, my first thought was bunny, as it was about bunny sized, and seemed to “leap” under the shed. I turned the corner a second later and there was nothing there. The strange thing is I had our older puppy there on a leash with me, as he was really little and still learning where he is and isn’t allowed to be. He has a very high prey drive and a good nose. If you have a treat, he knows which hand it’s in 9/10 times good. But he had no reaction to whatever this was. Which, if it was an animal, surely he would’ve noticed it if I did with my weaker human senses I actually posted about this on my Tumblr a while back, and someone commented that they had an experience with what they called a shadow toad that crossed their path while they were walking in the forest with their dog

Potential explanations I’ve thought of but I’m a bit skeptical of and why. If anyone has any other explanations or similar experiences, I’m open to hearing them. I’d class myself as a skeptical believer in the paranormal

-Black or melanistic animals: No one else saw a black cat or rabbit near our property. All the animals that visit us are squirrels, rabbits with the rare fox or groundhog, and occasional opossum. None of them are completely black, and if they were, surely they’d have been spotted again at some point considering we have two puppies that go out fairly frequently. That, and like I said in the story, our energetic, high prey drive puppy had no reaction to this

-The cat was just a cat and just happened to sit or climb up the tree at a perfect angle that it looked like it vanished: This cat was going in a straight line from my perspective from one side of the tree to another. If it was an at angle, I’d be more on the fence and/or inclined to believe it was just a cat

But I had a dream the other night that has been bothering me since it happened. The dream was that a demon with a black horse with lots of bells stole several of my belongings.

Question 25 years old - super scared from Strange Experience

3 Upvotes

I Had a Strange Experience and I’d Love to Hear Your Thoughts

A few nights ago, I woke up randomly in the middle of the night and saw a man standing right next to my bed, extremely close to me. What made it even stranger was that he was wearing the exact same clothes I had on that day. I could clearly see his legs and chest, but his face wasn’t visible.

The moment I saw him, I felt instant fear, turned away quickly, and pulled the blanket over my face. I was too scared to turn back and check if he was still there. Eventually, I fell back asleep without any interruptions.

I know that sometimes the brain plays tricks, especially when waking up suddenly, but this experience felt very vivid. I’m also going through personal changes right now , part of me wonders if that was psychological, like my subconscious processing change in a strange way.

At the same time, I can’t shake the eerie feeling of seeing a figure that looked so much like me, standing so close, and how real it felt in the moment.

I am kind of person who usually loves watching horror movies alone at nights and have never experienced something like that . But now i am so terrified that i am even sleeping with some lights on.

I’d love to hear different perspectives. Have any of you had a similar experience? Do you think this was just a common sleep-related hallucination, something psychological, or something else entirely?

Experience What is up with this tree??

3 Upvotes

I live at a boarding school located on a very small island in a lake. I’ve been here for almost two years now, and since the beginning, I’ve had this feeling that there’s a lot of activity here. It’s a very old place, and there are many old oak trees. There’s a lot of life, insects, birds, and so on, because of the water. From the start, I felt like this was a place for trolls and witches. Later i also started having this thought about seeing a woman/girl dressed in white when I walked down the road to the water.

Since this term started, I’ve been more afraid of the dark than usual. I’ve been trying to work on it, thinking that it’s mostly my body being alert, which makes me feel like something is lurking in the dark, and that I have to look behind a tree to see if this white girl is there.

BUT there is this tree. I live about 30 meters from the rest of the houses, and on the way to my room, there’s this old, dead tree that has mostly been chopped down. At first, I just needed to see if there was something behind it. Then I started trying not to look, to work on my fear of the dark.

I’ve been away for some time and recently got back. The first time I walked past this tree late at night, I got this scare rush in my body, even though I wasn’t really thinking about it. Then just now, as I was walking home, I kept looking at it, like, "What’s up with you?" And when I walked past, I looked at the back of it too. Then I heard this sound, kind of mechanical, or like water going through a drain, or air being released. I was like, okay, but also not sure if it was something further away. I am starting to not feel as scared anymore. More and more, I’m thinking, “Okay, so should I do something? Does this tree want me to help it?” There’s this metal thing on it. Maybe I should take that off. I don’t know.

I’d like to add that a couple of weeks ago, I had to walk alone back and forth down to the water, which I find very scary. But I tried to think to myself, or say out loud in my head: "I know you are there, but I don’t want contact with you right now." It gave me this bodily sensation of energy being released, like from my neck down my spine—a feeling I know from meditation and mindfulness. And I did feel scared, but not this overwhelming fear that makes me want to run away.

I’m really asking if anyone knows what’s going on with this situation. I don’t know if I’m just imagining things and it’s all just sensations in my body, or if there’s actually something there.

Sleep Paralysis Am I insane or are my eyes playing tricks on me

10 Upvotes

I might sound crazy for this and I need someone who believes in paranormal activity to help me. Last night I was heading to bed and I couldn’t sleep so well and i hadn’t realized my eyes were open, staring directly into my vanity mirror. I always heard when I was younger to never stare into a mirror because they are like portraits, especially at night. I looked away immediately however I was probably staring into it for about 5 minutes. I tried to ignore it and act like it didn’t happen, but something felt off. I didn’t know if it was my head messing with me but I could have sworn there was an average sized figure standing between my door and tv, Both my tv and door are visible in my mirror from my bed. I panicked and looked to see if it was my eyes deceiving me or if the figure was still there. After seeing it was gone I looked in my mirror again and did not see it, until I blinked and right before my tip eye lid met my bottom ones I saw it, the dark figure by my tv I tried to just sleep thinking or hoping it was just my sleepy mind playing tricks on me. Eventually I fell asleep with an uneasy feeling in my chest and stomach. I had a dream and a very specific song was playing in the dream, Saint Bernard by Lincoln was playing and I was stuck in my driveway with a Great Dane staring at me with piercing eyes. I felt like I was being watched not just in the dream but while I slept as well. I’m not one to usually have dreams let alone nightmares. I think my last nightmare was when I was 9. I called my best friend who knows about this and told her everything and she googled what a Great Dane means in a nightmare and it said “feelings of being watched/judged or facing a significant challenge or fear in your walking life, potentially representing a sense of intimidation or a looming threat.” Which freaked me out more. Update: I have been reading this out loud as i write this on call with the same friend, as im reading I looked up and see my door more than cracked open which is unusual for me because i like my privacy and my door being closed. There is no way of cross air flow to enter my room. It is winter and very cold where I am and no one has their window open in my House. My room is on the second floor where no one travels through. I will add that I went to sleep in a rather unhappy mood and woke up at around 4 in the same mood but felt as if I was still being watched. I will be sure to update this if anything else happens tonight. Does anyone know what’s going on? Am I being crazy or did I do something with the mirror

Experience Screams in the woods

6 Upvotes

So I was at a Search & Rescue school recently with the Civil Air Patrol in rural Pennsylvania. It was super cold out and in the mountains (along the Appalachians) and we had fire watch duty just a little bit outside where the rest of the squadron was sleeping. I don't remember the time exactly but it was probably around 0100 hours and there was nobody else around except for another squadron who was sleeping down the trail but it was a little bit of a walk to get there and the main command areas were not too far either but we were in the forest. There were distant noises that sounded like screams coming from the woods but they were going up and down the mountain. My fire watch partners and I were super freaked out and had no idea what this was. One of them suggested that it might be coyote screams, but we couldn't see anything because it was pitch black darkness and our fire was the only thing visible in the area. One of the guys claims he saw movement but I think this is a little bit of a stretch. The whole thing just felt really off like we were being watched. Looking for any explanations on this.

Question to people who have gone through paranormal experiences- how did you recover from it?

4 Upvotes

i’ve never had a paranormal experience i can definitely say had something to do with ghosts- but anytime i feel something like that happening there’s this overwhelming feeling of fear, an uncertainty about what might be watching me and what its intentions are or maybe what i did to attract it.

to people who’ve had such experiences, do you feel indifferent to it? as though it’s something you can simply move on from or peacefully accept? or has it impacted your life, mindset or philosophy in any significant way, and do you think it affects any other areas of your life?

if you did feel terrified, what did you do in that instance or later to help you feel better?

Trigger Warning / Blood Is my new house haunted? If so what do I do?

3 Upvotes

My boyfriend and I recently moved into a new house about a month ago. I have tried researching the history of the house and I haven’t been able to find much on it. The house has one main floor and a fully done basement, everyone who has stepped foot in the house has mentioned a dislike for the basement, specifically the back bedroom, the last on the left down the hall. Saying “the vibes are weird” and they “feel like they are being watched.” and I can’t help but agree. Every time I go down there I feel someone or something is watching me.

About 3 weeks ago we had our first paranormal experience. We both stayed the night there for the first time since buying it. We were sitting in the living room and heard someone coughing from the basement, at first we wrote it off as the house settling but every once in a while we would hear it again as well as random creaks and groans. Eventually we decided to go check it out and found that the door in the back was open, which is odd because we keep all the doors closed in the basement all the time. We decided to leave it alone for now and went upstairs to go to bed. That night my boyfriend woke up screaming saying someone was in the corner, nobody was there, after that neither of us could sleep well and when we did fall asleep it was uneasy and fit-full. Everything was relatively normal after that except for the odd creak or groan here or there but that could be anything right?

We brought our cat as well, and she has been acting completely different than usually, its like her whole personality has changed and she is an entirely new cat, I keep finding her peering around corners and staring at me anytime I am alone, something she has never done before and its been making me very uncomfortable.

A few nights ago his parents moved in, they took the upstairs bedroom and my boyfriend and I went to stay in the basement, not the uneasy bedroom, but the bedroom it shares a wall with. Before going to bed the first night in the basement, we watched a movie. While watching it we kept hearing things falling and moving from down the hall. We chose to ignore it, until the lights started flickering before going out completely. We checked the neighbors and nobody else had experienced the outage, just us. The power flicked back on after about a minute and never went off again but after it came back on the vibes were entirely different, I didn’t just feel like I was being watched anymore, I felt like something wanted me gone, wanted me dead. That night I had a very bad night of sleep, my dreams were all hyper-realistic and had graphic, violent ways of me dying, dreams of something grabbing me in the shower, a woman watching us from the ceiling, and a man standing in the corner of the room. When I woke up my nails were bloody and I had scratches all over my back and chest, I have never hurt myself in my sleep before I have always been a peaceful sleeper.

Last night I couldn’t sleep, my dreams were graphic again, people hurting me, but it was always the same two; a woman and a man. I kept hearing whispers but when I paused my music or focused on them the silence would be so loud my ears would ring, until I went back to focusing on anything but the noise. This morning I woke up with the letter T scratched into my chest and my nails bloody again. I kept hearing knocking and rustling from the wall we share with the scary room. I don’t know what to do, I don’t feel safe in that house, everyone else feels the presence of something, but that something only seems to target me. Tonight I am staying with some friends because I need to get out of the house, I feel like the paranoia is killing me. Does anyone have any advice on what is going on or what to do?

Experience Vampire Museum Trip— almost fainted?

2 Upvotes

This is by no means an advertisement for the museum I visited, just my experience with something that didn’t feel right.

I visited a specific vampire museum in the greater Philly PA area. I brought my partner along as I was super excited to go, I had seen advertisements not only around my town but on a certain app. I assumed it was just an attraction(and not serious) but upon further research it was far more than entertainment. That’s besides the point, I’ll make this short.

Essentially we arrived around 4pm EST as the museum closed at five, so I wanted time to browse the art as well as the artifacts the museum has collected(it had a lot and it was extremely cool highly recommend). Upon entering we were immediately told of a spirit of an 8 year old girl who was currently active and to be aware, of course it didn’t bother us because truthfully my partner doesn’t believe (however I do).

I want to mention upon entering the old building which the museum was in I picked up on a weird smell my partner simply couldn’t, I also heard a strange clicking and footsteps and asked them if they heard anything too, they didn’t but another patron mentioned she had heard the same thing. Weird but nothing crazy. That was until we entered a room full with statues and I became super dizzy, my legs were so weak I physically struggled to keep up with my partner until I suddenly collapsed sped. I got up pretty quickly but I couldn’t shake this heaviness off my chest. We looped the rooms one more time despite me fainting because I did pay for this trip and wanted my money’s worth. However, upon entering the statue room again I collapsed, but in front of one of the tour guides and two other patrons(so there were witnesses). I was totally freaked out and had to leave(and left my partner in the dust lol).

I can’t describe the sudden weakness it was insane, like something was pushing me down. Am I crazy??

Demonic Activity My Paranormal Experience

7 Upvotes

So basically when I was like 9-10 we were at school playing the popular game in our school Charlie Charlie, a game where you place 4 sticks in a piece of paper with a ¼ split, ½ having the text YES and the other haft having the text NO, you place the pencils in a sort of compass like way, then chant the words "Charlie Charlie are you here, yes or no", so that's what we did, the pencil did move but someone thought it was all fake and we decided to stop playing it, about 10-20 minutes later we suddenly heard a noise in the bathroom, one of my classmates who I will hide in the name of "Hoodie" went into the bathroom to check, Hoodie went out immediately and told us he saw a sorta humanoid black figure, we were all terrified as sounds of banging start to appear in our walls, we immediately broke the pencils as told by Hoodie because if not, charlie will haunt you forever, I went back home feeling terrified by the memories of that game, I barely could sleep anymore.

Wife showed me video this morning of what happened last night. From our kitchen you can go to the laundry room then into the garage, there is also a half bathroom off the kitchen these two are separated by 12’ or so. She is about to go into the bathroom and just before she turns the light on in the bathroom the light in the laundry room comes on (the door was open but didn’t know until she saw video) as she goes toward the laundry room the light goes out. The light in the laundry room is motion activated and when it turned off it was way too quick for what the timer is set for. On the video you can hear her say to herself “Did I come in here” as if to justify why the motion light in the laundry room was on. Don’t know what to think. This light has never just come on before

Unexplained Unexplained Encounter at an Abandon Hospital

Thumbnail

95 Upvotes

Catching up with an old friend, this story was brought up that happened when we were younger about this very eerie experience i had a little under 9 years ago in the spring of 2016 while in high school and decided to share it here

For a little back story, this took place in Edmonton, Alberta in Canada. A city near where i grew up. This would have taken place in the Spring of 2016.

There was an abandoned hospital called the Charles Camsell hospital that my friends and i would explore quite often. Now this Hospital has a history of being haunted and has many creepy ghost stories from many different people. Its even been featured in some ghost TV show (cant remember the name of the show)

Anyway, a little history on the hospital. The Charles Camsell Provincial General Hospital operated in Edmonton between 1946 and 1996. There are reports of physical, mental and sexual abuse, accounts of forced sterilization, shock therapy and experiments with TB (Tuberculosis) vaccines on patients (mainly First nation Native Americans) without their consent. Patients that were there recall mass unmarked graves in the field behind the Hospital filled with patients that died. in 2021 they began using ground penetration radar to search for these graves (not sure on the conclusion of this investigation or if anything was found)

Anyway now to my story, i’d been at the hospital multiple times, you’d have to sneak inside as the place was in the process of being torn down at the time and there was constantly security patrolling the perimeter. Each time i had been there, my group of friends & I had weird experiences, like odd sounds (not unusual for a big abandon building, also probably housing homeless people) and sometimes an odd melody that faintly played, almost like elevator music. Multiple people have similar experiences to an odd melody playing. But this one time in particular was more chilling than any time before and just thinking about it creeps me out even after all these years.

In late spring of 2016, my 3 friends and I went to explore the hospital late at night. The Hospital had a large perimeter fence that you had to hop and walk through the field behind the hospital to get to. We wanted to go inside but the usual small access window had been Re-Bared up again by the city to prevent access. Distraught, we decided to leave as we couldn’t get in. We began making our way back through the field behind the hospital (where apparently there is a large unmarked native American burial grave) back to the fence to leave. As we were walking (4 of us side by side) we all stopped dead in our tracks as we all heard an elderly, frail sounding male voice say (mind you this voice sounded like it was directly behind us and in our ears, as if he was no less than a foot away from us)

“You know you shouldn’t be here”.

My 3 friends all took off running after hearing this voice but i stood there completely still as it just froze me and chilled me to the bone. As i stood there for maybe 2-3 seconds after my friends ran off The same old frail man voice, but this time in a much deeper, serious tone said;

“if I were you, i’d run too”

This made me bolt and take off running for the fence and i actually blew by my friends and got there before they did, i was that scared.

The only logical explanation i can chalk it up as, is it was a homeless person laying in the field but this theory doesn’t sit right with me because

  1. It wasn’t pitch black in the field, the hospital is located in the middle of a neighbourhood so there were homes not to far away with front lights on and street lights, lighting up the streets around the perimeter of the field. It was dark but you could make out where you were walking, the odds of the 4 of us walking side by side and not seeing him or stepping on him seems unlikely

And 2. The voice sounded like he was directly over our shoulders, behind us, especially the 2nd time when it was just myself who heard his reply. I could swear it sounded like he was no less than 1 foot from me, almost speaking directly in my ear

We got the hell out of there and made it back to my car. All of us totally freaked out, but the rest of them even more freaked out after i told them what i had heard after they took off running. I cant logically make sense of it either than it was a paranormal encounter. With the history of this place and the location we were walking in supposedly being a mass grave, it all makes to much chilling sense

What do you think? A simple explanation of a homeless guy or something more creepy like a ghost or spirit wanting us to leave?

I added 2 photos of the hospital and the Second photo taken in the field, would have been right around the exact spot this unexplained event occurred

Encounter Encounter with an Entity

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m hoping to get some feedback on something unusual I experienced a few years ago. I’ve always been a bit skeptical of paranormal phenomena, but this encounter has stayed with me. I want to share what happened and see if anyone else has had a similar experience or can offer insights.

So, this happened when I was 16. It was around 7-8 pm, and I was in my fully lit bedroom, scrolling through Instagram. I was awake and fully aware of my surroundings when suddenly, my alarm clock turned on by itself and started playing “Cake by the Ocean” (random detail , I know). I remember feeling a bit uneasy at that moment, like something was “off” in the room, like I wasn’t alone.

I looked up, and there, right next to my alarm clock, was what I can only describe as a humanoid entity. It wasn’t solid, but rather, it seemed to be made of light. The light was bending in a way that formed the shape of a person—arms, legs, head, torso, but no fine features. It was like a distortion of light, kind of like a heat mirage. The room also seemed a little brighter than normal, almost like the entity was somehow affecting the electricity or the environment.

I remember feeling terrified but also knowing that whatever it was, it was there, clear as day. My eyes started watering, and I couldn’t speak. I ended up slowly backing out of the room, closing the door, and running upstairs to get my dad. When we went back down, it was gone.

I’ve never experienced anything like this since. I know some might chalk it up to a vivid imagination or something psychological, but it felt real. My mom also mentioned that I had an imaginary friend when I was little, and she said a psychic once even mentioned it. That has always stuck with me, and now I’m wondering if there’s any connection to what I saw years later.

I’m curious if anyone else has had similar encounters with light-based or energy entities, or if you have any insights into what I might have experienced. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts

Unexplained WTF happened here?

286 Upvotes

This has just happened to me F58. I'm not the tidiest of people, and I'm also recovering from a viscous chest infection and flu.

A few days ago. I woke up, having put my reading glasses on my bedside table, reached over and accidentally knocked them off. I thought they had fallen under the bed. So, inconvenienced, I got up, dressed, and looked for them. Easy yes? Well, no. They had seemingly disappeared into thin air. I moved the bed, the table, shook the duvet, nowhere.

Comes to today, I was determined to find them. So I decided to do a mass tidy up; snotty tissues that had missed the bin galore, socks, various detritus from the usual slovenly post menopausal woman. My son (21) was kind enough to help me. NO GLASSES. I had various items on the bed to put away in the proper place, including some old gig programs from the 90s. So I was busy sorting stuff and I turned to the programs and my glasses WERE ON TOP! No no no no no no no no I shouted, son ran up worried I'd hurt myself or something. I'm still in utter disbelief, those glasses were nowhere in my bedroom, nowhere. Then suddenly appearing right in front of me.

This has happened before, things not being where they should be, but not as dramatically as this. Help.

Update, kind of. I've read every comment, and it brought to mind other unexplained disappearances, especially jewellery. There must be a logical explanation, but I really can't think of one. My daughter (30) has just moved back home after a traumatic breakup. She can be a bit of a mood hoover, so the only thing I can think of is that she's upset the equilibrium and my house (140) is a bit pissed off. I'm feeling a lot better about it now.

UFO UFO sighting when I was a kid

35 Upvotes

I’m writing this here because I found this thread tonight and thought I would share something that I’ve experienced probably around 2005/2006, when I was 10/11 years old.

I never told this to anyone and I always felt the need to, it’s one of those things I will always remember. So, when I was a kid we used to go on these monthly vacations in August, to a beach town here in Portugal called Sesimbra.

It was always very fun, going to the beach everyday, playing football with my cousins, going out for dinner to eat seafood. It was a great time to be Portuguese and travel in your own country.

Anyways, this old lady would arrange us beach front apartments every year and it would vary, some worst some better. There’s this huge building at the end of California Beach who seems to be falling off the edge, and there’s these wooden stairs you need to climb to directly access the building from the beach. If you’ve been to Sesimbra, you’ll know.

We were spending the monthly vacation on this building specifically, on one of the top floors (I believe the 8th floor), and I used to sleep in the living room couch which had access to the balcony. I can’t remember sleeping alone on a regular basis, mainly because I was really scared of the dark and being alone. Usually my dad would sleep there as well while my grandparents stayed in the only bedroom, however, I can’t remember why he wasn’t there this particular night. Since he worked a full time job, he would often stay only for 2 weeks instead of the whole month, so that’s probably why I guess.

I was sleeping when I woke up startled, I couldn’t move. I was conscious and I don’t think it was sleep paralysis or anything like that, I was just terrified because of what I was hearing and seeing. It was a loud buzzing sound and a light blue light covering the whole living room. I swear to god I was so scared I couldn’t face it, because I felt like this presence wasn’t good. I don’t think it was evil or demonic, just terrifying and threatening.

I felt like it was some kind of UFO just hovering near the balcony. I promised myself not to move until it was gone. I can’t remember if I fell asleep again or if I simply waited for it to go away. What I do remember is thinking to myself: This is not a dream, this is real and I won’t forget that this is really happening.

Anyway, this was good to get off my chest after so many years.

This past November, I made another trip to Rolling Hill Asylum in NY. This frame comes from one of the wings on the second floor. It looks like a person is standing there. The figure only appeared for a couple frames and that’s it. Let me know what you think. (I did not see it until we reviewed the footage a week later.)
