Haunted House Moving But My Wife Wants To Invite The Ghost With Us

83 Upvotes

Long story, but here is the rundown. We moved into an apartment last December and the apartment is terrible so we are moving. We’re moving because of the apartment complex not the ghost to be clear.

We have had a lot of different experiences with the ghost be it objects moving, lights turning by themselves, and seeing apparitions. We asked management about it when it first started happening and they kinda confirmed something happened here.

We have kinda determined it’s a child ghost? It likes to play with our children’s toys, we have had a guest stay the night and they heard someone say “mom” over and over again while staying in the room which is the room that’s always cold in the apartment.

The experiences have gotten better? My wife seems to think so, but also our toddler son was sleeping on a bed next to ours one night and woke us up screaming while seeming to be dragged under the bed. He’s just turned two so he’s not able to tell us what happened.

So we are moving and my wife wants to take the ghost with us? Thinking what if the next family isn’t nice to them and helps the ghost kid to the transition to the afterlife.

Is that possible to take the ghost with us? Should we?

Hi everyone. I’ve just joined this subreddit because something happened to me that I still can’t explain, and I need to know if anyone else sees what I see.
I work at Longleat. This was Christmas 2022. My shift ended around 7pm. It was pitch dark and thick with fog. I can’t drive, so I waited well away from the Christmas lights and music — I’d had enough of the noise. My mum was late. Really late.
After what felt like forever I walked up in front of Longleat House so she could find me. The second I got there, the air changed. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up so hard it hurt. I suddenly knew I wasn’t alone. The wind picked up and screamed through the trees, and a cold settled over me that felt… wrong. Like something was standing right behind me, watching.
I couldn’t stop shaking. When my mum finally pulled up she took one look at me and asked what was wrong — I was white as a sheet. The moment I got in the car I felt this overwhelming urge to take a photo of the house. I don’t know why. I just knew I had to.
I still think about that night. I’d never believed in any of this stuff before. But whatever was there felt real. Too real. Maybe a ghost from the house. Maybe a child. Maybe something else — I’ve heard the stories about Warminster. All I know is I didn’t imagine it.
The photo is grainy and the fog was heavy that night, but look closely at the area I’ve circled. Turn your brightness right up. There’s something there. A shape. A blurred face. A body.
I’ve worked at Longleat for years. I wouldn’t have taken that photo for no reason.
Does anyone else see it

First 2 brightened photos the others are original.

Question Loud whistle inside

8 Upvotes

Last night my husband and I were cleaning up dishes from dinner. I was on the couch and the show we were watching went to the ending credits and started to play music. I heard a loud human whistle and thought it was my husband or in the music of the show until he asked, “was that you?”. We played the show credits back to see if there was a whistle in the music. No whistle. It was so loud and clearly human sounding we were a little freaked. My husband barely “believes” in the paranormal and he seems convinced it was a spirit. We’ve had some experiences in the past (shadows, feelings) but it’s been nearly a year with no “experiences”. I’m aware of much folklore of not whistling back to a whistle outside, but what about when it’s inside your home?

Experience Faefolk- was it confirmation bias ?

10 Upvotes

So last night, around 2am , after studying I decided to do a quick tarot reading. Before I do readings, I like to do a quick meditation to focus on my energy on the readings. Then I did some energy reading exercises. I am very sensitive to energies. Not sure how to explain it but I get into a zone after spiritual practices like this. I went to bed and was scrolling on my phone when I came across a random video of a person explaining about Faeries and about Robert Kirk's story. Mind you, I had no idea before this , about who he was or about faeris. I got engrossed in it and went on to read a bunch of experiences/stories with faeries people had, positive and negative both. I was trying to sleep and for some reason it was hard for me to do so, I was also getting a bit tingly, got an eerie feeling which made me scared. I fell asleep after some time and vividly remember having the weirdest visuals in my dream. I saw a tiny blue light I was talking to, I was basically talking to it right next to a tree in the dark and telling it my biggest dream- getting into a university for masters by research. I am currently doing applications for context but have been unsuccessful and its the only thing on my mind. Soon after I talked to this tiny blue light, I started getting weird visuals I cannot even describe, I was so scared, I couldn't even switch positions in my bed and froze. I woke up in sweat and went to sleep with my mum. I even made an apology to them, saying I am sorry if I did anything wrong. I kept hearing noises after that. I wake up this morning and go outside in the backyard area of my house, we do have 2-3 crows who ask for food everyday but as I walked out, there were at least 15-20 crows just cawing as loud as possible and they were looking at me as I prepared their feed.

WTAF was this ? I cannot decide if its confirmation bias or a legit experience. Can someone please help me decode this ! Thank you if read the whole thing.

Visitation Dream Sleepy Thoughts

9 Upvotes

What are your thoughts/beliefs on dreaming of loved ones who've passed on?

I once read in a book that, we as humans, all have the "6th" sense. However, some of us are so tied up/distracted/"busy" when awake that we can't tap in. First those, its only when we are asleep that the wall comes down so that our mind and all senses are open. Knowing my own chaotic brain + me always dreaming of passed loved ones, I can believe this!

Experience Short little story that I vividly remember from when I was a kid.

8 Upvotes

If there’s anything that needs to be cleared up be free to ask! Especially if you enjoy my story. I haven’t written in a while so if I get anything mixed up or it’s confusing- which I’m trying to avoid as best as I can!- just comment and I’ll either edit the post or reply to you.

When I was younger probably around 11 or 12 I wasn’t in the best household with my dad. My step sister especially made it hell for me while I was living there. Despite that there were several times when we were playing with spirit boxes and such out in the pasture of our house. Me, my 2 step brothers, and my step sister had been on the trampoline just going back and forth with this box just asking and answering questions. I had a little rainbow tie dye drawstring back with me-that I can’t remember what it had in it- on the trampoline in my lap. Most of these responses had been really direct.

I’ve really never been one to believe in the paranormal as I’ve pretty much not believed in any religion since I was little. Even when I was maybe 6 at church in bible school or something I just remember thinking it was horse shit. Especially when our teacher was talking about something and everyone randomly started crying. I wasn’t affected at all and she said “Jesus was in the room with us.” Which I found hilarious. Even if he was truly there, like we were taught he always was, why only now do people break down?

Well eventually one of my step brothers, let call him Davin, asked for whatever entity to describe something around us, just for fun. We weren’t truly believing because it’s a box cycling through radio stations, what could it really do right? Well soon after my brother asked that question… it said “rainbow bag.” Sure it could’ve been a coincidence but I’ve always thought it was odd how specific it was. That’s mostly what made me question the existence of the paranormal, whether it’s how it is in the movies, how most people describe them, or if it’s more of a presence or a feeling than anything.

Fast forward a few months from that incident. I was really upset because my stepmom was making all these remarks about me. Not the nicest. When I was in my room, as a kid would, I cried. I was thinking about my mom and my family there. It was visitation and I wasn’t old enough to make a choice. I cried and cried wishing someone were there. And I felt a hand on my cheek, or what seemed like it. I’ve only heard stories about my great-grandmother. I’ve heard about how precious she was and all these coincidences behind her after her death. Sometimes it’d be cards that we didn’t even know we had would show up, various times smelled her perfume. My mom still has the bottle but it stays in her jewelry box. She died when I was 3 and I didn’t remember her at all. When I felt what I did on my cheek, it was weirdly warm, which isn’t really what you’d expect if it was an entity, but in that moment, even though I’ve never really thought much of her, I was certain it was her. Soon after I even smelled her perfume. That’s the only thing I truly remember about her.

Ever since then I’ve always questioned, and I’m now 18, and I keep thinking about it. Thinking about her. I’ve really always been interested in the paranormal, maybe connecting with them if they do exist. And I feel like that may have been what excited my interest in the paranormal.

Unexplained Has anyone ever experienced this before?

4 Upvotes

Last week, some friends and I stayed at an airbnb lake house outside of Houston. One night, we were all outside in the back around a campfire. The house had a lot of windows and there were 3 near us that were abnormally low with no screens on them.

While I was sitting at the fire, facing the house, I saw one of my friends, or what looked exactly like her, duck and walk through one of the windows. As soon as that happened, she immediately walked out of the front door carrying food for the grill. The timing was impossible and I thought it was weird.

I asked her “did you just walk through this window?” And she said “no” while looking confused I would even ask that. The reason I asked was to tell her a funny story that happened years ago with a friend crashing through a window once (I was thinking about this story while watching her go through the window) . After she said no, I actually kind didn’t know how to feel. I made sure she wasn’t fucking with me but the other 3 people were next to me and didn’t see her go through the window; they weren’t facing that way.

I’ve never experienced anything like this before. I saw her (or what I assumed was her) physically step through that window. But it wasn’t her or anyone else in the group. I just feel like if I were to see a ghost, it wouldn’t be stepping through a window like that. My friend said maybe I slipped between dimensions for a second. I’m just curious if anyone has had a similar experience.

Question Someone or something playing with my hair in my sleep, should I be concerned?

5 Upvotes

So I had a dream a few days ago.

In this dream it was like I woke up from a dream kinda dream. But when I woke up I cannot move at all, at first I just shrugged it off, thought I was experiencing sleep paralysis for the first time, but then I felt my hair being played with from behind. And I like to sleep with lights off btw so in my dream my room was pretty dark.

So I was very spooked, like my whole body quite literally was screaming for me to move, to stop that invisible entity from playing with my hair. (My first instinct was to elbow the entity lol) And the entity seemed to sense my struggle cause they tauntingly dangled my hair in front of me, I couldn't see it but I could feel them gather my hair and pull them forward, tauntingly swaying them around.

Thankfully I woke up from the dream through sheer force of will, but when I woke up I was in the same position as in my dream; lying on my side while cuddling a pillow. I got scared for a bit, cause what if that wasn't a dream but something real? My worries was calmed when I touched my hair and found them not tied (in the dream, I was wearing a ponytail).

But I still worry sometimes today, cause what if that was some warning or foreboding? Or some spiritual entity actually playing with me? Cause recently, I've been practicing cartomancy (playing cards instead of tarot cards) in my free time, just a hobby to be honest.

I'm wondering if that dream was connected to the fact I've been engaging in spiritual things, and if I should be concerned?

(Sorry if there's grammatical errors, English is not my first language.)

Question I need some advice when it comes to my haunted house

2 Upvotes

I made a post here a couple years ago, which will give this post a pretty good backstory or what you can call it: the post

After that happened so much more has been going on.

The top floor of our house is one hallway, and then 4 rooms, 3 of the rooms to the right of the hallway when you come up the stairs and the one at the very end. I was sitting my now then bedroom thats placed right when you come up the stairs, and I heard heavy footsteps walk up the stairs. I sing out "daaad" as a joke because I think its him. I hear a mutter right outside my room, a man's voice, and then the footsteps following down the hall and slamming the door at the end of the hall. I get worried that my dad would be mad at me so I leave my room, walk to the bedroom where I heard the door slam and no one is there. This was summer 2025.

Spring this year me and my friends decided that we wanted to ghost hunt, this we did in a barn on my friends property that's been renovated so we can hang out there. We heard a demons name thru the spirit box(I think it was the demon of a ouija board, no idea), knocking in walls. But besides that, not much more. So i decided to take out my digital camera and take pictures, because that's what they do in horror movies! The day after I wanted to show my boyfriend the pictures we took, I put the sim card into my laptop and the pictures are gone, those specific pictures, I check everything with the camera and it works perfectly fine. At this point im not a septic anymore, I had, what was to me atleast, definitive proof. We ghost hunt more times after that but nothing special happens. Besides once after we're picked up, the car stinks of cigarettes, which ive heard is a sign of demonic energy, when Noone in that car had smoked.

2 of my friends decide to make a ouija board, without the rest of us consent. They never use it but after that fhe friend group has a huge fallout and Noone is really friends anymore.

Now to the main problem, my house is definitely haunted. My bedroom is what used to be my parents bedroom and shit has gotten so much worse since I got it. I will hear knocking in the walls, what sounds like someone dragging a hammer across them from the insides of the walls. The sound of people walking up and down stairs, slamming doors. But what made me write this post is seeing a person walk behind me just to dissappear when I turned around, just 20 minutes ago, at 1am, while I was outside. I have kind of accepted that I have spirits around me, ive also made it very clear to them that I have gods protection. This just scared me so bad. Please drop any advice you have. I dont know much about this stuff so I might be wrong about something in this post but I really want all advice. Sorry for any bad English its not my first language.

Shadow People Shadow Figure in Front of Doorway Every Night

1 Upvotes

When I was a kid, I used to see a shadow figure every single night. It was unnaturally skinny and super tall, not at all human like. It wore clothes and had its face covered exactly like the grim reaper, but it had no weapon.

It was always standing there. Blocking the doorway, it never moved. I was too scared to leave because I would have to walk near it.

I really wish I could say this was just sleep hallucinations or sleep paralysis, but this would happen before I even went to sleep or was tired.

Eventually, I switched rooms in the house when I was a bit older, and never had any problems. Except one night when I went back into that room and fell asleep on a couch in there with the tv on I woke up in the middle of the night and seen it again. It really freaked me out seeing again after a few years of peace.

Then, when I would invite people over like friends and cousins, they would hate that room. I never told them the stories of that room but when we would go in it to watch tv or grab a board game they would say that it “felt off” or “haunted”. One time one of my parents told me they felt like they were being watched when they were facing away from the door (they had no idea about the shadow figure).

I’m an adult now, I have no sleep troubles or disorders but I still wonder what was going on in that room. Also, I was not on any medication at the time. Would this figure possibly originate from the land my house is on? Or do they follow certain people? It was really confusing but now that I’m older I wonder if it was trying to protect me somehow by keeping me in the room? If anyone has any similar experiences please let me know too.

Unexplained Do faraday cages work on ghosts?

0 Upvotes

Serious question. Do you think faraday cages can keep out ghosts and electro-magnetic entities, demons, energetic parasites, etc.? And if so, could sleeping in a room-sized faraday cage prevent sleep paralysis encounters and/or alien abductions? Someone please conduct an experiment. Maybe just try to use a ouija board or spirit box inside of a faraday cage... Let me know your thoughts!

Experience My wife can see things I can't (UPDATE)

0 Upvotes

ORIGINAL POST: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/s/7h7aNTA6UZ

Hi all,

First of all WOW!! My first post absolutely blew up! I totally did not expect that but I have received tons of advice, encouragement, and positive comments from people who have had experiences with this sort of thing. Thank you for all of you who responded and shared some of your own personal experiences.

So a couple of you said something about the picture I shared, specifically about how they spotted a few things that I missed initially. It is now confirmed that there is something in the trees watching me take the picture. Others have speculated there being a face in the window, and to that I'm not really sure. My wife did confirm that the thing in the woods was something she had seen before, but that it wasn't anything evil. Queue the sigh of relief.

I will put the picture here again, this time zoomed in to the thing in the woods, in case you all missed it. You can very faintly see two eyes and what looks like a face. Even though my wife said it wasn't bad, I can't help feeling a little terrified. The fact that something was watching me from the trees and I didn't notice it is absolutely horrifying.

Anyway, shortly after I made the first post, my wife and I and two of our friends who are also married took a short weekend trip. We were close to Gatlinburg, TN, and the cabin we were staying in was right smack dab in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains.

Long story short, my wife told me she kept seeing things. Feeling energy. One night we were out on the porch together and I was drinking a beer while she sat wrapped in a blanket. I turned to my right and swear I saw something duck around the cabin. I told her this and she said she felt a dark energy somewhere near us. I was in panic mode. I turned on my phone flashlight and ran to the side of the cabin, hoping to catch whatever it was. Surprise surprise, it was no longer there.

Knowing the Appalachian Mountains, it could have been a number of things: A wendigo (apparently you're not supposed to say that word out loud according to my wife😬), a skinwalker, or any other dark creature that roams the woods. Luckily we were not a witness to the "silent forest," where every noise in the forest just stops. The wind, the bugs, the trees. Everything falls silent, because whatever is near to you is feared enough to make even the trees themselves go quiet. Scary stuff. Luckily I was not a witness to much, but I heard about it from my wife.

I think this will be the last update for a good long while, at least until something interesting happens again. Not sure when that will be, but I hope it isn't soon. Thank you all again for your support.

EDIT: Not sure why reddit significantly downgraded the picture quality but to see the thing more clearly, go see the original post and zoom in on that area. You can see it better there for some reason
