This is probably one of the best comment sections I have ever seen. No fake news, no clickbait, no bullshit. I like how you all share your stories and your actually being a community again. Three a lot of funny jokes on here as well which make me laugh. Thank you

DURING THE DAY I was sitting, looking out the window, and a smoke apparatus just randomly appeared in front of me. Before that though, I was reminiscing about my grandparents that just passed. I was initially scared when I saw the smoke just hanging there, then I suddenly felt peaceful.

I love the way you draw with the black and white to show the dark it is quite lovely

Ok my story:

My family was playing a board game one night. My brother was in the upstairs part of the house. My mom, my dad, and I were at the dinner table playing the game. Then we heard the tv turn on. My dad asked me to turn it off, so I did.

The scary part about it is that the tv was on a show coming out of a commercial. The show was some old black and white western. We don’t watch those.

We also don’t have cable.

My brother had been upstairs the entire time. He hadn’t left the tv on. No one was in the room.

I hear cats purring when my cat is nowhere to be seen. Things are knocked off of my shelves when no one did it. My mom used to hear footsteps when we first moved in and no one was home.

Our house was built in the early fifties.

There’s a rumor that someone drowned in the decommissioned pool in my backyard.

I have heard footsteps in my sleep.

Is my house haunted? The answer will remain

Unsolved

I love how she could draw her character looking like she was starving but she draws her character like her body....absolutely beautiful

I’ve never had a “scary” encounter per se. I’m pretty much the opposite of Rebecca. I was raised in a spirituality that wasn’t afraid of ghosts, and even encouraged respecting and not disturbing the energies in your home. But that doesn’t mean I’ve never had an inexplicable experience.

Story 1: The Copper Queen Hotel
I was in elementary school at the time, staying with my family in the Copper Queen Hotel in Arizona. It just so happens that one of the family members with me was a former ghost hunter, and she chose to stay in a more haunted room— and bring her equipment.
The spirit in that room was a child about my age, so I left out toys for him and even showed him how to play some games I liked. We never had direct interactions, but he liked to move things around and mess with us while we slept such as tickling feet and pulling blankets.

Story 2: The Youtube Spirit
I was home alone in about middle school. I heard shuffling of papers in the kitchen, but hadn’t heard the door open. I’d been watching a youtube video, and figured I’d just been overly focused on that and someone came home.
I went out to the kitchen, but nobody was there. No windows were open, and the door was locked tight. I shrugged it off and went back to my video. The noises started again. This happened one more time before I went out and saw a silhouette in the corner of the kitchen, just staring. There was no light in that part of the house, so it couldn’t have been a trick of the eyes. I approached it, but kept a respectful distance.
“Hey, um, I’m trying to watch youtube, could you please be quieter?” I asked. It didn’t respond. I turned and walked away, figuring it wouldn’t care. But it stopped making noise for the rest of my video.
Then I found out that it went quiet every time I watched that same youtuber.

When I was a toddler, about 3, I was with a playdate with some preschool friends outside while the mothers talked. When we got called inside, I was the good child and held the door for everyone. Then I kept holding the door. When my mom said, "who are you holding the door for?", I replied, "Nathan". My mom thought nothing of it, thought he was an imaginary friend. Later, my mom found out that one of the other mothers had a son our age that had died in a car accident.
I probably held the door open for a ghost boy to come in when I was 3.

I was in my parents bedroom when they went to go to a party leaving me alone I ended up sleeping in there I was in the middle of a dream about cotton candy and cats until I started to get uncomfortable then I woke up and it was pitch black and my house is like 100 years old and their room was in the basement I looked around trying to get my eyes to adapt to the darkness then out of the corner of my eye I saw something in the laundry room hallway

The 80% of my brain when something weird is happening in my house: keep calm, and ignore it
The “other” 20%: New objective: *BURN THE HOUSE*

[Applemangh]

When i was in high school, i remember seeing what looked like a screaming face right outside our kitchen window in the middle of the night. In this instance, i was caught between being frozen in fear and being legitimately curious, so i just kind if stared, transfixed. That's how I eventually realized it was a simple trick of light, shadows, reflections, and the grill sitting on our back porch.
I think about this all the time when I hear spooky face stories. If I had run, or even just turned my head away, i might not have recaptured the exact right angle that happened to make the face illusion, and it would have been my very own story of seeing a spooky face in a window that vanished a moment later. My point being that the human brain can be down right scary in its tendency to find human faces and shapes.

Omg this is serious.... because....




Her characters have MOUTHS!!!

[abbybleyer]

I have a ghost story
And oh buddy oh boy
So I live in a big old house
And the guest room is inhabited by ghosts
Yay
Story done right?
Nope!
One time I was sleeping in that room because my mattress on my bed was being used for something
And it has a mirror in the opposite side of the room
So when you sit up in that bed you see yourself in that haunted mirror
You will always appear more pale than you actually are (in the nighttime)
And one time I woke up and sat up in bed with a very strange feeling
Something wasn’t right
I looked in the mirror and next to me
In
The
Bed
Was
a
Girl
With stretched out arms and claws
It terrified me to death
And I ran out of that room and slept on my floor
It wasn’t a dream because I went to sleep in the guest room and woke up in the morning where I had moved myself
And no I don’t sleep walk

Another time I was staying in that room
And i was laying in the bed
And every so often the windows would just shake violently
And this happened for like 30 minutes
And I was just lime
Whatever man
And then I heard glass break
And I friken raaaan

ONE MORE STORY
Another time in that room because I still haven’t learned my lesson
And there are these two pilgrim carvings out of wood
And in the middle of the night I hear a thump (as in they jumped off the dresser) and footsteps leading out of the room I was in
The next day they were gone

Hope you liked my stories
Yay
Also as a child I would talk to ghosts
That’s kinda weird lol

If I had a ghost encounter I'm like Fuck it we're moving

My ghost story: I was in year 5 and we were having our first ever overnight school trip. On the second night, I was finding it hard to get to sleep so I looked out the window. I saw a completely white figure, faceless, looked about the height of the average 9 year old kid. It was pacing from side to side. Sometimes my brain hallucinates and turns objects into moving things so I just went to sleep and forgot about it. The next day, I'd forgotten about my sighting when some other people reported seeing a white figure outside the girls' cabins. Keep in mind that I hadn't told ANYONE. I let them know what I saw and turns out 10 people saw it. We tried to tell the teacher but they didn't believe us. All of the boys (they didn't see it because the boys' dorms were far away from the girls') said that we were definitely hallucinating, BUT 10 PEOPLE CAN'T HAVE THE EXACT SAME HALLUCINATION.

ghost just wanted something to eat
there's no shame in that

My ghost encounter:
At my grandparents' house, I was babysitting their cat and their dog. The dog was in the laundry room (where she sleeps) and the cat was outside. At about 2 in the morning, I started hearing music. I was the only one in the house. I start creeping down the stairs. The stairs empty into the foyer of the house, and in that foyer, there is an old grand piano. That piano was the source of the music. It was a pretty song, like someone was twisting together Beethoven and Chopin just to see how it would sound, and as I watched, I swore I could see the keys depress, and could almost hear a whisper of an old woman singing, just out of earshot. That grand piano belonged to my great grandmother, who died when I was a very young child. After almost two minutes of sustained sound, it simply stopped. When I went towards the piano, I put my hands on the keys, and they felt warm. There was a faint smell, like someone had used lavender perfume and it had faded. Sometimes, when I go over there now, I still hear the piano start up, and the smell of lavender perfume appears.

Why did I decide to watch this at midnight?

[destinyperez]

I’ve only had three ghost encounters thank god!
So one time in my apartment I had a pink canopy over my bed. One morning I felt as if someone got one of those annoying shopping carts and was moving me back and forth on my bed. And then my vision got really blurry so I closed my eyes and started yelling for my mom to come save me. But then I started to not be able to hear anything! So I was just moving my head and kept yelling for my mom. My eyes closed, moving my head, someone moving me around in the annoying shopping cart, and screaming at the top of my lungs. But when my mom walked into the room with my sister who was about 2 years old everything stopped. No one was moving me I could hear and my vision went back to normal.

#2 Now one night I was in my room trying to go to sleep ( I did not have the canopy at that time ) and I woke up and felt like I could not move like no bone in my body was able to move. Like if someone was holding me down to my bed. It was dark and sure enough when I looked I saw a black monster human person with white glowing eyes was holding me down. Their head was twitching. And when I blinked like 4 times they just vanished. I could move and NO one was there! I’m still really creeped out by those stories. Sorry if this is super long. But if you read this long thanks for taking the time to read my ghost/ monster encounters.

I forgot one more oop
So my cousin sends me these weird long messages where I have to send them to whatever amount of contacts. So she sent me one about a girl named Teresa Fidlog who died 25 years ago. So I ignored the message Bc I did not have 20 contacts ( that was the amount of contacts I had to send it to ) this happened recently. So I’m 11 and I had to sleep in my mom and dads room with my mom, dad, 4 year old sister, and my 1 year old brother. Now his back teeth were coming out and he would wake up. Now I had to sleep with them because my grandma and uncle sleep on the couch. Sooo they slept in my sisters and my room. And no not everyone slept on their bed only me and my sister my mom slept on a mattress on the floor and my dad has goal stones so he has an infection and before they can do surgery they have to get rid of the infection. He slept on a recliner in their room. I swear I heard some one throwing rocks or little pebbles at my moms window but when I looked no one was there. So I knocked it off as me hearing things but then I literally SWEAR I heard as if someone just walked into the room and hid into the closet ( an open closet filled with random stuff ) I got up and went to the kitchen and my mom told me to go lay back down Bc of school. So I told my cousin if she kept sending me that stuff I would delete her from my contacts. P.S What ever you do DONT LOOK UP TERESA FIDLOG PHOTOS I did that and immediately regretted it. But now I’m more calm and back to sleeping in my room on the top of a bunk bed ( we took apart the bottom half bc it took up too much space. And my grandma and uncle also sleep on a bunk bed. My grandma on the bottom and my uncle at the top. And last night I forgot about the girl just bc i had my tv ON! Shows how much I need my tv to go to sleep. LOL 😂 if u read this long thank you for taking the time to read it. Again

My friend Grace is Korean, and one day she took me to a Korean church ( obviously in the same country). Korean churches give you lunch after the sermon is done so there was a kitchen in the church. I looked around in the kitchen in the dark when I heard two voices talking to each other, but grace had gone to the bathroom and all the adults were at their 'after lunch service'. The kids at the church were free to play but as far as I know, the kids only played in a separate room. I thought it was a trick of the wind and took Grace into the kitchen with me with the lights off. We were fooling around in the kitchen when I saw two red eyes staring at me in a mirror hanging on the kitchen walls. I blinked but the eyes were still there. At the same time grace told me she saw a 60-pound metal pipe move all by itself. And when she blinked, it kept on moving.
