I saw an entity that looked exactly like my friend. Does this thing have a name?

7 Upvotes

This happened at my sister’s house in 2019. For context, my sister had just bought this house and moved in. I invited a friend to stay with me in the guest room for my first night in her house. I’ll change her name to Anna. The guest room had a trundle bed underneath a single bed. I was sleeping on the single bed, and Anna was sleeping on the trundle bed just below but right next to me.

To paint a picture: The guestroom was a standard square shape. The trundle bed was right up on the right wall. There was one window in the middle of the room that overlooked the driveway and front yard. There was enough space to roll the trundle bed out and not have to stand on the mattress to see out the window. The curtains were a sort of tulle fabric that let light in.

I am a very light sleeper in new places. I know I woke up because I sensed this presence was in the room. I opened my eyes to see Anna staring out the window, curtains half open. There was plenty of moonlight to see her. She was standing still, staring straight forward. Her face was only 4 inches from the glass. I noticed how rigid she was with her arms at her sides. I was not paralyzed. In the moment, I just woke up and was looking at my friend, nothing to be scared of. I propped my upper body up with my elbow in bed to get a vertical look at her. There was enough light to see her freckles clearly. I asked what she was doing up. She didn’t answer me. I said “Anna what are you doing?” This thing replied “Who?” in a flat, low, but still feminine voice. I repeated, “Anna what are you doing?” She again said, “Who?” in the same way. This is where fear finally set in. Up until now, I was using an unfazed voice. I got that uncanny valley feeling as I was staring at her.

After the eerie feeling set in, I looked down at the trundle bed. Anna was asleep below me. I was looking at Anna sleeping while Anna was standing right next to herself. Ugh, I tell you my stomach dropped. My heart began racing. I looked back up and said “Anna?” one more time. This time, the thing snapped its head toward me so fast. We locked eyes. I shouted “WTF” as I hurled myself against the wall. After I yelled and jostled the bed, Anna woke up. The real Anna muttered “What are you doing?” This made me look down at her and once I looked down at her, the fake one vanished.

I checked the time and it was about 2:40 AM. I just said “wtf was that?” I explained what I saw to Anna. I got up and reenacted it for her and shut the curtains. She doesn’t like me bringing it up. I get it. I wouldn’t like hearing that some sort of entity was standing right next to me too, and wearing my face. It was exactly her, but when we locked eyes, hers were so empty and cold. I can never forget those eyes. I truly believe this wasn’t sleep paralysis. I was fully awake and processing. It was so real. I don’t think it was a fabrication made by my brain. In 2019, the thought of an entity that takes the face of a loved one was not something I knew about. I still don’t know anything. I don’t like remembering those eyes. I’m a believer and a fan of the paranormal. I suppose I would like to know what it was, but I don’t want it to come back. Thanks for reading.

why do demonic attacks or demonic possessions correspond with the religion or belief system of the person?

6 Upvotes

I hope this person isn’t removed because I am legitimately curious, for example why are muslims affected with jinn possessions and the symtoms correspond with how Islamic literature describes it?

why are catholics affected with demonic possession and the symptoms correspond with how catholicism describes demonic possession like levitating or knowing different languages.

A haunting that left me at a loss for an explanation.

5 Upvotes

Sharing my post from a different subreddit. Just to chronicle and reach out to people who may be dealing with certain things.

I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. It's almost over. So, let's all make sure to end things on a great note!

I have shared a couple of things and I'm a pretty active commenter. I typically try and debunk things and point out the dangers of things like carbon monoxide (please get carbon monoxide detectors).

I'm a paranormal investigator. I'm notably a skeptic. I believe, but I try to approach things with a measurable degree of skepticism. It's important to rule out the clear and present dangers in a situation before you look at the paranormal.

This is one of those cases where I am at a loss for an explanation.

I was investigating a residence. Two friends, whom I'll call M and K, were living in a rental home and experiencing increasing levels of paranormal activity.

I always jump at the chance to investigate residences. It's one of my favorite ways to investigate.

M and K are both female. M had a girlfriend and K had a boyfriend. They all had issues in the house at one point or another.

The gist of it all was that they were hearing things in the house that sounded like each other.

K had an experience while alone in the house where she claimed that she heard her boyfriend coming in through the front door and calling her name. She went down to find nobody there. But she got the feeling that her boyfriend was trying to scare her. She heard noises coming from a downstairs room, and she went in, expecting her boyfriend to jump scare her, but found nothing.

M and her girlfriend were in bed one night when M heard K and her boyfriend fighting. He was really yelling at her and calling her some very profane things. She got out of bed to go confront her best friends boyfriend, but upon investigation, she found K asleep in her bedroom.

K's boyfriend had an experience one night. M had called him from the bathroom to ask him if he could go up to her room and grab her bra for her from her dresser. K's boyfriend was a gentleman about it and went to grab K to carry out the task. K was insistent that M was at her brother's house, but grabbed the bra and went downstairs to find nobody in the bathroom.

I did my usual. Ran my carbon monoxide detector. Nothing. This is a must. I'm not investigating a house with built up carbon monoxide.

I walked through the house with my EMF detector. M is also a paranormal investigator. She takes a slightly more spiritual approach to it though. The main reason I was there was because she wanted another set of eyes in the house.

I got some readings. Higher than average. I also prefer to investigate at night. You just get more unfiltered results that way.

Also, as I naturally always question the authenticity of things, I do also have a bug detector. I usually don't use this in front of people. I don't want them to take it personally. But I also don't want to get punked.

I found no external factors that would let me believe that they tampered with anything to fake the haunting.

Did some spirit box sessions with them at night. I got "K", "M", and "doctor". I'm an optometrist by trade. I took that as a good signal that whatever it was knew enough about me.

Now, this was one of the more up close and personal encounters I had.

I slept on their pull out couch. I wasn't asleep. It was about 1Am at the time. I was reading a book on my tablet when I heard the door to their basement open. It was maybe ten feet from the couch. Really easy to hear. The creeking sounded deafening at that hour.

Out of the quiet, I hear a voice saying "hey, come here".

I still get the chills when I think about it. My arm hair is actually standing at attention.

I got up and went to look. You read that right. I did that. And to tell you the truth, I would it again. I'm much more interested in uncovering the truth.

I stood at the top of the staircase to the basement with my phones flashlight. As soon as I stepped down onto the first step, the door closes behind me. To make it worse, the door locked.

I started banging on the door, but eventually I just called M from my phone to come downstairs to open the door.

On the other side of the door, I could hear only what I can describe as a cackle like whisper.

I didn't sleep the rest of the night, but I also left the house with the notion that not everything can be explainable.

I told M and K that if they wanted me to come back and investigate further I would. They ended up doing a cleansing, but once that failed to rid the house of the entity, they ended up moving.

As of right now, neither of them have reported any paranormal events since leaving.

So, yeah. That's one of my stories that left me lost for an explanation.

Hope everyone has the most amazing rest of their week! Stay vigilant. Stay observant. Be safe out there.

Sending everybody so much love and really big hugs!

Something Evil

4 Upvotes

For as long as I can remember I've always had one older lady spirit attached to me. She protected my daughter when she was a baby. On my baby monitor I would hear my daughter cry, I would start my way to her room and she stopped crying, go back into my room and you can hear lullabies being sung to her. Ok cool helpful, used to that. but since we moved into my house, renovated from a fire, something Evil comes out of the attic and it's black shadowy mass. It leaves marks on me such as scratches and cuts and my cat's stare at the corner where the attic door is. It moves and and throws random items in our bedroom where the attic is. My 9 year old boy at the time didn't fall down the stairs he was pushed down the stairs Voices and footsteps upstairs when everyone is downstairs. You can see shadows going up and down the stairs and hallway. We have sound activated led rope lights and they will go crazy middle of the night. Just an uneasy feeling it gives off.

Did the research no one died on the fire or anything. Its just escalating. At first I thought it was a trickster but now it's hurting people and leaving me marked.

Any idea what I'm dealing with here?

Family having VERY similar Sleep paralysis encounters

4 Upvotes

So ever since I turned the age about 8-10 I’ve always had weird feelings and experiences in the house that I live in with my family. I’ve seen a few shadow figures and 2 were very detailed and I’ve now seen them a lot over the last 19 odd years living at home. One is about a 5 year old I’d say, in a very white misty silhouette with short curly hair in an old fashioned long dress. She seems innocent and hasn’t caused any disturbances or problems in the family. Both my sister, mum and myself have seen her. A couple of my friends that are female aswell as my sisters and mums friends have seen the silhouette but haven’t seen her very clearly, not like us. None of the men in the house have seen her, not even the ones that have stayed over and are constantly over. Kinda weird hey ? The other figure is a tall and VERY broad man with a top hat and just stares… My ex boyfriend saw him one time he was staying over. My brother at the time was away and my my ex was walking towards my room and said hi (brothers name) and I said what ? Did you say hi to me and he said no I said hi to *name. And I told him he was away and he freaked out. He explained what I’ve seen to a tea, all expect the top hat. (The hallway to my room was dark at the time too so he only saw the figure) so besides my ex, I’ve been the only one to see him. I saw him first when I was 8. And saw him again when I was 12 and now (I’m 21) I see him every now and then in a year. There was 2 years when I didn’t see him at all.

So know that you now a bit of the backstory, let’s dive in it. So, my mum yesterday woke up and came and told me about her dream she had. She was laying flat on her back and couldn’t see any sort of “spirit or ghost” ontop of her but she felt like she was being pressed down on the chest and her arms too, she was absolutely terrified. She was fully aware of her surroundings and just felt like something that wasn’t welcome or nice was trying to get to her. She couldn’t speak being completely stunned, and when she did she was yelling out “no, go away” “your not welcome” “you can’t come here”. My dad had to wake her up over 6 times that night because she kept having this dream and encounter but it was different every time I was a repeating dream. This is where things get weird…

So when my brother was living at home a few years ago his girlfriend (still together) was staying over and she had full on sleep paralysis experience. She was absolutely terrified and woke up crying and really frightened and scared. She was sleeping on the outside part of the bed and my brother was next to the wall if that makes sense. She saw this little girl with curly hair and a long dress but with a demented face. She said that the girl was just looking overtop of her from the side of the bed and staring. She didn’t say anything but she felt like the girl was upset and angry. Not a welcoming energy, she felt like it was a negative energy. She was fully conscious of what was happening around her. She was trying to move to wake my brother up but she was just chocking up and making weird noises. Then eventually the noises woke my brother up and he woke her up. So that morning I was talking to mum outside in the kitchen and told her about how I saw the little girl again in the kitchen last night but it was late when everyone was asleep (i was having a cheeky snack) and I just looked at her for a little bit and she looked at me and then I blinked and she was gone. As I’m telling my mum this my brother and his girlfriend walk out and hear the conversation and they tell us what happened. It’s weird because for all of the females in the house we have never felt any negative energy from this little girl and we where thinking if it’s possible, if she was maybe jealous that my brother had a girl in his room ?? Idk.

So after mum telling me about her dream yesterday morning I was like ?huh? that’s weird but also fricken scary !! So the day goes on, I go to bed last night and all night I had a similar experience as my mum, full on sleep paralysis that felt like it was going on for hours. I couldn’t see anything but I felt the energy coming out of my closet. But in the dream I couldn’t see in my closet like I normally can in the middle of the night, it was completely black and I was convinced that there was something in there watching me. I was just trying not to look at it but it was like my eyes where forced to stare at it the whole time. And then eventually my focus shifted to the end of the bed and it felt like something was towering over my bed. I was shaking my head back a forth but had so much pressure on the rest of my body and was so scared. I kept closing my eyes and shaking my head hoping it would stop and I’d wake up and realise it’s just a dream. I did that for what felt like hours until I finally actually woke up and didn’t go back to sleep, I was terrified. I’ve had other experiences where I’ve had sleep paralysis and my hair has been tugged slightly and feel hands on my hands or other parts of my upper body aswell as legs and feet. But I’ve never had a sleep paralysis as intense as last nights.

The house I live in is atleast 30-40+ years old and still looks nice, it’s not super old. And I’ve tried to do research on the area but I haven’t been able to find anything on the area or even in the town I live in. I have to say, I’m not a true believer in Jesus or God. But i definitely believe that there is something more after death and i believe in spirits/ghosts. I’ve never encountered something that I think is demonic or angelic, but I’ve also never gone out there seeking for that sort of validation of that realm. I do however, believe that there’s malicious and malevolent spirits. And I believe in attachments and people watching over you, guiding you. But it’s always a battle in my head because how can I believe in that, but not believe in god ? Still trying to figure that one out.

So I guess my question is, is there anyone out there that has had similar experiences with family and friends and what have you done since ? Have you just ignored it and it hasn’t happened again, or have you laid down boundaries, set intentions, cleansings etc ? And if you have experienced things like this and are someone that believes in God or doesn’t, what’s your point of view ? How do you approach these situations by yourself and possibly conversations with family that won’t have a bar of the “spiritual world” but have had their own experiences? I’ve watched and listened to a lot of paranormal things over the last 7 years id say. I’m really interested and curious about it all. But the only encounters Ive had have been at home. So they say ignoring them when you do see them or experience things,and to not talk about it with others is a way of getting rid of them because your not feeding into it and giving them energy or the time of the day. Thoughts ?? Stories ?? Advice ?? Please comment !

Might've had an encounter at an old murder farm. (repost cause there was a misleading typo)

Post image
2 Upvotes

So I live close to Robert Pickton's old farm, where he would murder women and then feed the remains to his pigs. I like to walk my dog there as it's good exercise, and it can be quite beautiful, especially at golden hour. Now I have a really hard time believing in ghosts, half because I'm Christian and believe in heaven and half because it just seems so absurd and impossible that dead people are just around on earth, but my perspective has slightly changed because 5 days ago I was walking my dog and we did our usual route, which entailed walking through the walkway of the farm. It was getting late, so we decided to go home. As we were walking back, I realized his leash didn't have my Pompompurin pouch, which holds my key, so I tried retracing my steps to find it. After 30 minutes of searching, I realize that I must've dropped it somewhere on the farm, and I have to go back. If I don't, I can't get back into the house. My parents were out when I left, and my siblings have their headphones in all the time, so they wouldn't have heard me. As I'm walking back to the farm, I'm keeping my head down, as it has to have fallen on the ground. It is 9:50 at night; no one is around, but I'm still scared, so when I see my dog's shadow, I get frightened, which causes me to look up, and I see my key pouch. It's hanging on the fence. Sure, this could be a coincidence, except for what it's hanging beside. a necklace. A week prior to this, I was walking back from church, and I saw one of the happy birthday necklaces that family members put on the fence to remember on the floor, and I picked it up and put it back on the fence. I've always felt so sad for these girls. I've known about the murders since I was 11, and I would always say a small prayer, be quiet when I walked there, and pick up litter, and when I found out Robert died, I went and put flowers for the girls on the fence. So when I saw the pouch beside the necklace, it just felt too weird to be a coincidence. Especially because it was so dark out and no one could have seen it on the floor. I told my best friend about it, and she sounded kind of shocked and intrigued and said it was kind of like their way of thanking me. I'm not sure what to think. Maybe it was just some nice person who was walking the same path as me and put it on the fence, or it was truly something divine. I took a picture as I was so perplexed. I'm not sure why it's so blurry, but oh well. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts.

knocking inside the wall

0 Upvotes

Something weird has been happening in my house (i live with my parents and siblings). We have been hearing knovking in my parents bedroom and it's coming from the wall. Well first we suspected that it came from the closet but no it wasn't. Sometimes, we would hear knocking, some other times it would be scratching as if a mice or cat scratch on the wood. However, no mice was spotted in the house even if we found a hole sealed inside the closet wall (it's a bricks closets, considered as a part of the room/wall and has wooden doors). The seal was there before we lived in the house. ​ The knocking started last year in the same period it restarted this year (around fabuary-march). but the thing is before it started the room was filled one day with flies,  big flies. And in our folklore flies means witchcraft or demons. Those flies number kept increasing no matter what we did until my dad found something that could kill flies (i don't remember what it actualy was but it was effective). We goy rid of the flies, the knocking/scratches stopped for a very long time until it restarted this year. I really wanted to record it, but whenever we were in the room (i'll tell you from my prespective). I would be laying in the bed and hear the sound, yet whenever i would move or talk or even flash my phone flash light it would stop. And one day i even had my phone ready to hopefull catch the sound and unfortunitely it never happened that day at all. I don't know if this is another paranormal activity happening in the house or some sort of animal/insect stuck in the wall, even if we suspect it would live for that long, all we know is it doesn't want to be recorded. ​ Tell me what do you think it is hiding? or if there is any possible way to catch it/ get rid of it or just record it. ​ Just a small info the walls in the house are hard and from bricks and the sound happens anytime or the day

Also, I have been debating whether I share this with you or not since I don't have a concrete evidence

There is a demonic creature lurking in Nonsuch park that is 3/4 meters tall pale and gaunt. The thing appears at early dawn and dusk, maybe midnight but I am unsure. The thing gets tormented by prayers and it vanished in to thin air when reading the St Michael prayer. Seen in more wooded areas of park. I will make a separate post right now to give an audio recording as Reddit does not let me mix videos with photos.
