10 Shocking Paranormal Events That Made People Believe in Ghosts
No one is keen on believing in ghosts. That is until they encounter one themselves. Spine-tickling incidents of witnessing apparitions can leave one questioning their reality. So let’s delve into true stories shared by an online community that forever changed people’s belief in the paranormal.
1. Edward the Ghost

The first supernatural story sharer explains how their whole family had experiences seeing apparitions over the years. For example, they would see a tall guy wearing a coat-like jacket standing against the doorway.
Also, the family could see a shadow run across the basement, and lights would turn on and off. The odd part is that the house was new, with no history to explain the presence of a ghost.
2. The Night Owl

One person mentions when they were up at night when the rest of the family was asleep. Then, suddenly, they saw their mom walk past the door when they were in their bedroom.
Upon following her, the user realized that the hall where she was seen had no lights on. So they checked and saw their mom fast asleep when they peered into their parents’ room immediately after.
3. The Man Who Loved TV

It’s hard to be mistaken when your whole family can see a full-body apparition simultaneously. Someone tells us how their family could see the ghost of a man walk down the hallway and disappear. Apparently, the spirit liked to wait until the middle of the night and then turn the TV in the living room on full volume.
4. When Grief Meets Horror

There are times when tragedies overlap with spookiness. One user narrates such an incident of being able to see their late father around the house. They bought their father’s house after his passing and could sense his presence in the workshop where he had taken his life.
5. Nursing Home Nightmare

A former worker at a nursing home shares the experience of overnight rounds. Alongside an aid, they entered a resident’s room, where they saw white shoes and pants that would fade as they looked up. The aid screamed and never returned after that shift.
6. Japanese Horror Story

A traveler tells us of their time in Japan. They struggled to open the front slide door when they returned home late one night. When they finally opened the sliding door, they saw white feet walking away in the hallway. As they looked up, it faded away.
7. The Ghost in Red

Who was that man? One person shares the time they saw an apparition of a man in a red shirt walking in the backyard for a split second. They thought it was only in their head until their 3-year-old child who sat beside them asked, “Who was that man in the red shirt”?
8. The Displeased Great-Grandmother

OK. This one is bone-chilling. An individual recalls seeing their great-grandmother standing in the doorway when they were 13. This was odd, considering she lived at least 20 miles away and had been dead for at least a week. To further confirm that this was an apparition, the figure had no eyes and looked unusually serious.
9. The Woman in the Car

Not only houses but cars are just as capable of being haunted. Someone discusses how they could see a woman’s silhouette from the corner of their eye as they approached their vehicle.
However, the shadow would duck between the seats each time they got close. Their roommate also saw the shadow in the user’s absence when borrowing the car.
10. Thomas (Haunted) House Hotel

Finally, a person shares the story of room 18 of a hotel in Tennessee. During their stay, they saw a ball move across the table they were sitting at. On top of that, the figure of the late hotel owner loomed in the doorframe.
However, the scariest bit was when they felt something tug on their hair.
Uh-huh, I’d be out of there! What do you think? Do you have a ghost story to share?
