One user shared her experience working at a remote family-owned store and the many strange incidents which occurred – from loud clanks and creaky footsteps coming from the backroom, to several free flying cans of green beans. However, she wasn’t the only one.
One of the bag boys had asked to stop his night shifts. The main reason? One evening during his dinner break, the boy heard the sound of a baby crying in the women’s bathroom. Repeated knocks went unanswered. Eventually, he cracked the door open only to find the room dark and empty. Yikes!
2. Ghost Relatives

Another commenter from Pakistan recounts a tragic tale whereby 14 of his family members drowned during a beach day. Following this, the sound of kids playing and footsteps came from inside the house where they’d all lived. They said, “You could stand there and hear it clear as daylight.”
Later, apparitions of the late children and relatives were seen in the hallways. The user – a child himself at the time – was told not to engage with them and no harm was ever done.
3. The Invisible Man

A person called Jess recalls meeting with a collaborator in broad daylight. As they were reclining on a sumptuous couch in the center of the room, it felt like someone approached and sat between them.
In response, they both halted and gazed at the shifting cushion. It appeared as if an invisible person was seated right between them. Jess and his colleague gazed at the cushion in awe and horror for 30 seconds.
Luckily, Jess quickly diffused the situation with a wave of their arms and a chuckle. Crisis averted!
4. Sleep Paralysis

June shares the tale of their year-long battle with sleep paralysis from 10 years ago. However, what June was experiencing was no simple condition. They would wake up and find multiple shadows gathered around their bed, staring. To make matters worse, there were auditory hallucinations with numerous voices echoing the word “hatred” with increasing volume, ramping up to a scream in their ear.
In one dream, June was sitting in the living room when the speaker system began cycling through radio stations super quickly. Suddenly, a voice came through which said, “I am coming.” This statement was followed by loud footsteps running up the stairs and a shadow bursting through the door.
Now, June was tempted to think that they were going insane. However, it all stopped once they moved out. What an eerie experience!
5. An Uninvited Guest

Someone called El recalls when they were at their best friend, Lizzie’s place. Her parents weren’t home, and everything was going as usual. The two friends sat in the bedroom, having a chat.
Suddenly, they heard a sound, making them think Lizzie’s parents were back. However, before the duo could leave the room, they heard knocks followed by an unfamiliar woman’s voice saying, “Hello?” The front door swung open, making them think there was an intruder. However, they shook it off as a false alarm since they couldn’t find anyone in the house.
When they returned to the bedroom, Lizzie slumped into the floor and began weeping because as she opened the door, she saw something as tall as the door frame standing in her parent’s room. Scary!
6. Late to Class

Sai shares that around 14 or 15, they started seeing apparitions of dead students in their school. Occasionally, Sai would zone out when in conversation with friends because they could see some students’ ghosts just walking around and trying to make it to class. Even ghosts have somewhere to be!
7. Six-Foot Drop

Finally, a user shares waking up in their brother’s spare room to an old lady sitting in the corner by the door. He tried to get out, but the door handle “WOULD NOT BUDGE.” He panicked and had to jump out the window, a six-foot drop barefoot. “If you ever had a wild animal look at you like you’re food, that’s how I felt with her staring at me the whole time.”
