Ghosts aren't real... right?
Published 1 year ago in Wtf
When one doctor was tasked with cleaning his nursing home's creepy upstairs, he didn't mind. After all, ghosts aren't real. But after getting surrounded by mysterious shadows and rustling sounds, he was forced to hide and never returned.
Read that story, and 16 others from people sharing the scariest thing they ever saw, but can't explain.

Once I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of my bedroom door creaking open. I could see the outline of someone standing there but when I turned on the light, there was no one there. The door was still slowly closing, as if whoever or whatever had been there was leaving. Even creepier, my Nest fire alarm had illuminated in the corridor, sensing movement, but there was nobody there. Still gives me chills thinking about it.

I was riding my bike down a rural road when I was nine and found a garbage bag filled with red sludge and white sticks. I thought it was blood and bones - but I had a very PG childhood and I had never even seen pretend blood and bones, so I had nothing to compare to. I told myself it wasn’t what I thought it was. After all, why would that be there? Two days later I thought, “look again, and if it is what you think it is, tell a grown-up.” I biked back to the area and it was gone. I am now old and have watched enough to confirm, it was blood and bones.

I was about to cross the street, a lady put her arm across my chest and said wait. As I look at her trying to figure out what is going on, a car crash happens and one of the cars goes tumbling down the street two feet in front of me. If she hadn’t stopped me, I would absolutely be dead. I turn to look at her again, and she is no longer there. I could see for blocks in each direction, no where she could have gone that fast where I wouldn’t be able to see her. Only thing I can come up with, is that I imagined it happening in my memory due to how tragic the crash was. Never experienced anything even slightly “supernatural” before or after.

There was this abandoned house in the middle of nowhere, like 30 minutes of backroads to find it and no other people for at least 10 miles in any direction. Me and some friends used to go check out this spooky house and show it off to one or two new folks at a time. We did this three or four times, and as we’re pulling up one night, a light in the house turned on. The house didn’t have power any time we’d been there, and there were no vehicles anywhere around the house that night. Scared us all to the point none of us ever went back. In retrospect, it was probably being used as a hunting cabin or meth house, and they probably just had the breaker off when they weren’t there. A car could have been parked behind in a place we couldn’t see from the road, but as high school kids - nope. Spooky house with unexplained lights.

I was maybe 10 years old, and my grandma had just died. I didn't really know her because she had spent most of my young life in a nursing home and often didn't remember who I was when I went to visit. But, when I visited, she would always rub my back. It was sort of like an instinctual comfort thing - she did it to all her kids and grandkids. For about a year after she died, I would be sitting in my room at night, alone, and start to feel someone rubbing my back like she used to. It freaked me out until one night when I acknowledged it and said, "Thank you, Grandma." It stopped after that and I never felt it again.

The basement in my dad's house is finished except for the storage room, which is really dark and creepy and is around the corner from the main room of the basement. There's an elliptical down there and when standing on the elliptical, if you look over your shoulder, you can see half of the door to the storage room. I was working out on said elliptical and I felt like someone was standing behind me so I looked over my shoulder and in that half doorway, a dark figure with light gray eyes was standing there looking at me. I was house sitting so I knew there wasn't anyone else home. I slowly got off the elliptical and went into the bathroom to hide, then a while later decided to be bold and rush past the storage room and back upstairs. Not the first time I had seen that gray eyed figure either.

My grandfather had just died a few days earlier, and my mom was crying one night in our kitchen. I started hugging her. We had a lot of my grandfather's belongings but there was this broken radio that didn’t even have working batteries in it on the table along with other things like photos and clothes he previously owned. This is the only unexplainable thing I’ve ever experienced, but while my mom was bawling crying, the radio made a very loud static noise for about a second. We both stared in silence at it, it was eerie, she stopped crying because even she heard it. We both just went to bed after that and haven’t spoken of it since. I’d imagine if it was something paranormal it was my grandfather letting us know he’s here, but who knows.

My friend and I were driving from a gig we played in Kona on the big island of Hawaii. We were driving on Saddle road, one of two roads from Kona to the other side of the island. Saddle Road is known for being a spiritual place and lots of weird things happen there. This stretch of land is about 40 kilo with no lights or population, just lava rock.
We drove over the road about 1am. We were talking stories and having a good time. Then we saw on the side of the road a huge white dog wearing a gold chain staring at us. We passed and asked if we saw the same thing. We were debating about stopping on the side of the road to pick it up. The local legend is that if you see an old lady on the road you need to pick her up, or something bad will happen. We didn’t stop, and didn’t speak until we got home. I asked another local guy what that could have been. He said it was the goddess Pele’s pet. Did some research, looks like this dog has been seen sporadically since the 1950’s.
