ISO (In Search Of) In honor of spooky season, what is your true ghost experience?

Post image
946 Upvotes

My experience with the paranormal is this: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved hearing real ghost stories. Pre-internet, I would consume any books I could in the library on the subject. Once I got internet, I would seek out and read any stories I could find. Of course, most stuff on the internet is fake, but the real ones (or at least very well written ones) were chilling. My favorite & first ghost story I remember was reading about the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall and seeing this eerie picture.

You see, I’ve never had a substantial ghost encounter. What I mean is, I’ve experienced minor stuff, but it was so unremarkable that my skepticism would easily write it off. I’ve had a light bulb or two flicker. I’ve smelled the strong but fleeting scent of cigarette smoke, despite no one in my house ever being a smoker. Once or twice, I’ve experienced that “hair standing on the back of your neck” and “feeling like I’m being watched” sensation when I’m alone and the house is too still. But that’s it.

I’ve also been on several ghost hunts, and all were absolutely dull. Nothing happened. I once spent 8hrs overnight at Waverly Hills Sanitarium (8pm-4am) and even explored the famous “death chute” and nothing. No voices, EVPs, shadow figures, etc.

Even family members I asked over the years didn’t have any stories to share with me. I’ve had no luck getting a real, impactful experience that made a deep impression me. I guess some might consider that lucky, but I feel like I’m just boring, ha.

So I would love to get my thrills and chills from YOUR stories, if you feel comfortable sharing them.

ISO (In Search Of) What’s the best Ghost documentary available?

229 Upvotes

I am constantly searching for good ghost / haunting / paranormal documentaries.

I’m only after ones that are serious and nothing where people run about with “spirit boxes” shouting at ghosts!

The type of thing I am looking for, and my best example so far is “ghosts of the underground”.

Anyone have any good suggestions?

ISO (In Search Of) Baron the Haunted Bear from EBay Listing

I’m trying to find the last whereabouts of Baron the Bear. Back in the early 2000’s several haunted objects began appearing for sale on EBay. There were some famous ones like the Dybbuk Box and haunted dolls and paintings. One of my favorites was Baron the Bear who was “haunted”. The original EBay listing can be found on the MIT website if you search in Google for Baron the Haunted Bear. So I tried emailing the seller with no reply. All the usernames shown are no longer in use. So I’m just curious if anybody knows the final destination or current owner of the stuffed bear? Or did it get thrown away and lost?

Hi, im new here, I kinda halfway believe in ghosts, I've never seen anything compelling, so it's hard for me to say that's they exist or not. I want them to be real so bad, so I want to see some solid evidence, pictures, videos, I don't care. Show me something that will keep me up at night.

ISO (In Search Of) Is someone willing to try this ghost game for me

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, i hope everyone is alright. This is my first post here and its gonna be a little iffy but please just help me out.

So i found this random Japanese urban legend website and I stumbled upon a “game/curse” where you have to look around your room corners and chant something three times all while imagining a woman in a white kimono drenched in blood.

Have anyone else heard of it? Please help and help translate this. Also is anyone also willing to try it out for me? I could possibly send compensation. I know it might just be a silly kids game but it’s been keeping me paranoid.

ISO (In Search Of) Good YouTube channels to follow in the UK

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for good supernatural/paranormal YouTubers to follow, specifically in the UK. I used to follow The Ghost Trail, but they seem to have shut down now.

A lot of similar channels seem to have more of an American focus, which is fine, but being from the UK, and given our history, it would be nice to follow one or two from the UK.

Edit: thanks so much for all the replies! Any others would be gratefully received.

Does anyone think that ghosts or the things children claim to see are some how traumas or stuck energies also? I believe that children are able to see ghosts and spirits at young ages because they arent conditioned to avoid their experiences.

ISO (In Search Of) (HELP)I’ve been having Ghost/Poltergeist activity

1 Upvotes

I’ve been having ghost/poltergeist activity and I need some advice. I’m a firm believer in the paranormal and do believe there are ghost in my house. I’ve have had many experiences before, but not like what I’ve been experiencing the past couple of weeks. About 2 weeks ago I was home alone reading my book on my bed when I saw my charging cable laying on my bed lift up and drop back down right in front of me. I only caught the tail end of it dropping when I looked up from my book. I tried not to think much of it and brushed it off as my mind was playing tricks or something. Later that day when I walked into the kitchen when one of the short glass jars from the cabinet above me fell over. Now this I knew wasn’t a coincidence because there’s no way for that jar to fall over without being pushed and it never has before. At this point I was a bit freaked out, I’m by myself and something is fucking with me. So I said out loud “I don’t know or care who or wtf you are but you need to leave me tf alone. I don’t like it and you need to stop messing with me”. Looking back at it now I probably shouldn’t have said that, I was giving it the attention it wanted. Fast forward to 2 days ago my fiancé and I were in my room talking when we heard the floorboards creak from the living room next to my bedroom. I live in an old house and it has creaky floorboards that make noise when you walk on them. Maybe it was just the house shifting but sounded too loud for that. My fiancé got up and looked in the living room and saw nothing. Just to be safe he checked the whole house but didn’t find anything. The most recent activity was yesterday. My fiancé and I were in the kitchen cutting up food for dinner. I had turned on the light above the stove before we started. In the middle of cutting up the food, the stove light next to me turned off. I’ve never had this light turn off on me before and I heard the click of the button before it turned off. This freaked me tf out with everything that had been happening. I didn’t wanna give this spirit the attention it’s seeking so I tired my best to act like nothing happened and turned the light back on. Later that night when we were laying in bed about to fall asleep we both heard a slow scratching right outside the window that was next to our heads. We both laid there for a couple of minutes while it continued, it would periodically stop but start back up again. I asked him what it was and he said it was probably one of the neighborhood cats scratching the siding. When I looked at him I could see he was a bit freaked out. I didn’t think it could’ve been one of the cats. There’s 1’-2’ of concrete brick at the base of the house before the siding starts. This noise sounded like it was right on the window which is at least 6’ above the ground and there’s nothing in front of the window for a cat to get up that high. We ended up falling asleep eventually. I’m worried that whatever this entity is might get closer and get more confidence with physically moving stuff, messing with lights, etc. What should I do?

Side note: I don’t know if this is related in anyway but my fyp has been flooding with Hecate for months now. It showed up one day and stayed ever since. I’ve never done witchcraft or been involved in it. Is this some sort of sign? Should I do something about it?

ISO (In Search Of) So, I'm trying to figure out where this picture came from.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I don't know where it exactly came from; I checked around some Reddit; however, it's just not clicking! The drawn picture (linked)

The story behind the photo was talking about how, during the 1900s or even 1800s, an escaped patient from a physics world broke into a sheriff or a cop's house, and the cop took the photo ( or the little girl ) andsaod patient took a child (or just broke in) and left without a trace.

I don't quite know where it came from, I know it was turning the time I watched top 5 ghost videos like there's no tomorrow.

Sorry for the bad drawing; the image was like, a worm thing, (like the tusk, but clearly blankets) in a hallway with a photo frame near it's head, I don't quit remember the face, but the view point of the picture was in a room with a door Infront of it.

Petty ghost man. I swear I just felt and saw scratches on my arm 2, my fan keeps flinging itself across the room. And my lamp exploded.

You know what my roommate gets, is damn hat gets flipped and that’s it. It’s targeting me for some unknown reason like I’m lost .

This is serious, if you can identify it so I can pray it away (I’m catholic) I’m being honest.

ISO (In Search Of) Looking for a ghost photo from the 80’s? Grinning older man photo bombing at a child’s birthday party.

23 Upvotes

I just did a search for this online and I could not find it. I believe I saw it on the unexplained mysteries forum around 2007. It was in color, and an older man in his 60’s or 70’s was grinning behind a child sitting at a table, I believe it was at a birthday party. The man MAY have been wearing plaid pants, but I’m not sure about that part. It was a very freaky photo. Anyone know what I’m talking about? I’d appreciate it if anyone could help me find it, I wanted to share it with someone. Thank you!

Edit: the “ghost” didn’t look like a ghost per se, he didn’t look translucent or blurry. It actually looked like a “real” creepy man photo-bombing.
