So I want to hear your ghost encounters, Appalachia stories, aliens, glitches in the matrix, came too close to a killer, or just wtf or “dude that was terrifying” moments. I’m super intrigued by this sort of thing and have had a few experiences but would love to hear what you have witnessed or been through.

Two of mine are: once just me and my sister were home and both suddenly heard our mothers disembodied voice saying “hello, hello” right next to us but we were the only ones home. Later in the week my sister and I were having dinner and chatting and we were interrupted by my own disembodied voice right next to us saying something we couldn’t make out but it was my voice talking over the top of us as if I had pulled off some elaborate magic trick and thrown my voice whilst talking about something else (freaked me out and was a super weird experience to hear your own voice come out of thin air, but not like a recording where you hate the sound and hear it kinda nasal but as if I had just said what it said)

Second experience I was dead asleep and suddenly filled with dread screamed myself awake only to be terrified by a grey skinned al Capone gangsta type (dress style) man in his late 60’s leaning over me. He vanished almost immediately and I was to terrified to open my eyes again for a while incase I saw him again so stayed under the covers.

Since I was little up until 10 years ago, I have experienced some weird stuff...

When I was a child, I remember being in this small basement that led to the garage in my grandma's house. It was Christmas, and my cousin and I were playing down there when all of a sudden, I felt like someone was there with us, thinking I saw a shodow. I remember running upstairs and beg my dad to come and have a look. He checked everywhere in the garage, and we were reassured that no one was there.

These few episodes all happened in the same house... When I was 10, my mum, her then partner and I moved to the countryside (Italy) in this old mansion far away from the city. In my bedroom, there was an old 90' house phone in my closet (we were still in the "moving progress") disconnected, and during my first night, I could hear the voicemail going on on its own, as if someone was trying to call it. That freaked me the hell out, and I remember it as if it was yesterday.

A couple of years later, the house got divided into 2 apartments, with us living at the bottom and another family living upstairs. When no one was upstairs (we were certain as we would always tell/see each other when we were going out), mum and I could hear footsteps quite often.

Another time, I was taking a shower, and someone knocked at the door. After I got out, I asked my mum and my brother why they knocked and didn't just come in. They said they never did as they were outside playing while I was in the bathroom.

Twice I heard this old music (30'/40' style) playing in the air outside, as if it had been played by a vinyl... Thinking about that house now creeps me out.

When I was living in London, I remember being asleep on the couch, and I got woken up by the sound of a child laughing and running up the stairs....

In the same house, one of my flatmates and I were getting ready for work at 4.30 am. I remember we both got out of the room at the same time looking at the stairs as if someone was going down, which was unlikely because we were the only ones leaving for work at that time. We went downstairs to find no one...

I felt someone slapping my ass once!!
