have you ever had ghost/cryptid/alien encounter? If so, what’s your story?

people of Reddit have you ever had ghosts / cryptids / alien encounter anything in the realm of the unexplained if so what's your story serious NSFW my parents house is seven miles from the Manassas battlefield from the Civil War I'd kick that's important but there are a lot of urban legends about how spooky of an area it is when I was in maybe fourth grade I woke up and saw an outline of a bluish teenage girl in an old-style nightgown she was at the foot of my bed looking at me I blinked and she was gone I figured it was just a dream until years later when I was in high school my younger sister came to me and said I want to tell you something but you have to promise not to laugh she proceeded to tell me that when she was walking down to the basement the night before she thinks she saw a teenage girl in a nightgown when she blinked the girl was gone I told her my story and we were just like okay feelings validated but [ __ ] fast forward to when my sister and I were both in college we were visiting home for Christmas and my dad drunkenly told us about the time he saw a teenage girl in an old-style nightgown looking at the Christmas tree years before all of us only saw her one time and haven't experienced anything else in my current house that we bought from family friends they lived on several acres and once he found out he had cancer and it got to the point that he just couldn't keep up the maintenance he asked us if we wanted it coming from a family that has always owned land it was an easy choice the kicker was the house needed a ton of work I had to take a month and every weekend off just to get the house right I had been two months into working on the house and we were just about done with everything late one night all the power went out and a huge flash of light lit up all the windows I thought a powerline had been struck so I looked out all the windows to check not seeing anything I got my flashlight and walked out to the transformer in the backyard this was last fall so we had frost starting to cover the ground I could hear my footsteps on the ground I looked out into my back field and saw three figures walking away from the house I couldn't hear their footfalls - disappeared suddenly in one kind of stayed for a few extra seconds it seemed to stand there and look back at the house then it too disappeared I got back in the house and that's when my wife told me Tom had passed I like to think that was him who stayed back just a few extra minutes to see what the house looked like he was unable to come to the house to see everything we had done it only got secondhand visuals from his wife and us when we visited they had lived in the home for 44 years so Tom I hope you approve and you're welcome to come see what it looks like now that it's done my friend had a roommate that collects antiques her roommate bought an old music box from a secondhand store and there was definitely something attached to it my friends roommates started getting sleep paralysis almost every single night and my friend kept waking up with scratches on her face and body I was in her room one day about a week after all this stuff had started and I watched multiple things get flung off of their bookcase it wasn't like the items just fell each item had an arc to it as it fell like something smacked the items or pushed them off when we got closer to the bookcase we realized everything that had been flung off the shelf had been on the same shelf as the damn music box every other shelf was untouched we returned the music box the next day about a year ago I was out back with my family it was around 8:00 and the Sun was setting we lived in a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere the closest neighbor was far away something down the field kept catching my eye but I ignored it at first my sister saw it too and kept looking out towards the trees she was getting freaked out about it my mom said to go investigate so me and my sister started to walk across the field towards the tree line big mistake it's hard for me to describe this was the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me I didn't see it at first and I didn't understand why my sister was so scared until we were about 100 yards away when I saw this creature tall probably eight or nine feet tall white humanoid with an elongated head and no face it had long arms and peeked around the trees we stopped in our tracks we couldn't tell what it was it took a few steps further out of the trees and swayed back and forth at me like a praying mantis me and my sister ran screaming back to the house where my mom stood jaw dropped she saw it too I had never been so scared in my life we grabbed the binoculars and watched this terrifying creature peek in out of the treeline spying on us my grandma thought we all had a wild imagination the son was almost gone now and it was getting really dark and the darker it got the more it moved back and forth along the trees it was terrifying so we went in for the night unlocked to everything up tight I couldn't sleep that night I was hearing scratching on the roof and at one point a very loud bang and various noises coming from the barn I was very afraid that I would wake up to my animals missing the next morning my grandma asked if we heard the loud bang outside that night she ended up taking my grandpa with her on her morning walk I have no idea what it wasn't it haunts me to this day was sitting in a field with two friends stargazing after a smoke session something we would do regularly when we noticed a bright white glowing orb in the sky best way to describe the sizes if you take a dime and hold it in arm's length away from you it was flying in a curved path at a decent rate of speed while we tried guessing what it could be and it made a 90-degree turn and flew over the horizon at an incredible speed it did this almost immediately after we had all seen it and pointed it out trying to follow it with our fingers still have no clue what it could be as far as my friends and I know there aren't any aircrafts capable of such things should add this was back in 2006 or 2007 but seems how three people witnessed the same thing we were convinced it was a UFO so last summer my band went on a West Coast tour and we had a show in Roswell I was mad excited because I've been wanting to visit Roswell since I was little and checking out the same UFO book from the school library over and over anyways we explore the city and play the show and it was a great experience we had a long drive to Tucson to pick up a friend from the airport so we decided to drive overnight as it would be easiest to make it there on time I know it seems awfully convenient that something would happen in Roswell and I had that in mind because it would seem too easy to make up the story but something happened about 45 minutes outside of Roswell once we started our overnight drive I'm riding shotgun as our drummer is driving first shift we are on these winding back road highways that are awesome and give us an immaculate view of the stars so yeah roughly 45 minutes away from Roswell we are coming up to this bend in the highway unto the left of the van we see a light it appears to be a light on a barn as we assumed it was from someone's property in the woods but that assumption quickly changed when the lights starting moving and keeping pace with the van this bend was going to the right so we weren't circling a light in the woods and there wasn't an access road so it wasn't coming from a car this light was just steadily keeping pace with us at about 75 miles per hour and weaving in and out of the tree line sometimes it would move behind the trees and then it would just start out from the trees still effortlessly matching our speed the light wasn't all that bright or so it didn't shine a lot of light I don't know how to explain it but it was this bright ball of light that was roughly the size of an exercise ball it seemed really bright but it didn't really light up anything around it even when it got about 15 feet from the left side of the van it was just there at this point our drummer and I are yelling what the [ __ ] is that do you see this [ __ ] and then after about 30 seconds of following us it stops dead in its tracks about ten feet off the ground on the side of the road no slowing down just as if it hit a wall and immediately was stopped in its tracks we just kept driving bewildered and looked at it in the rearview mirror until the road took it out of you still no logical explanation as we talked for hours on what it could have been maybe there is one but we couldn't figure it out still crazy to think about I live in Albuquerque I was up until recently working in a big department store I had customers from all over the state a lady from Roswell came in who was a member of their local Historical Society she was telling me about an interesting settler Museum they have there in some of their local history my job was boring and I loved history after she finished her Roswell not just aliens pitch she leaned over my counter and started to whisper this lady was in her mid 80s very prim her husband was involved in the recovery from UFO crash the bodies weren't human most of my clients were older and had the habit of using me as a confessional I'm not sure if there were actual aliens but this lady really believed that there were I suppose this falls under the ghost category but I'm not entirely sure what it was in my mid-teens I would stay home during the summer often by myself while I was working in my parents camped at a national park as campground hosts pretty sweet as a kid parents show up every couple weeks to buy food do laundry then we're off again my cousin who was my same age would come and hang out and watch movies with me play video games all that stuff we were interested in the paranormal and he claimed to know a guy who talked to demons or spirits and was dabbling in dark things I wasn't sure I bought all of that but it was a fun discussion nonetheless at the end of an evening having these conversations about things we had personally experienced or things our family members had related to us I drove him home as I Drive him home the discussion goes more to the dark spirits or demons Avenue and how he was interested in seeing if it was real and what he could do with that kind of contact I don't remember the specifics of the whole conversation but as I pull up to his house which was on a corner with a streetlight on his corner property and I'm counseling him to maybe rethink this I look up into the rearview mirror and see something I won't forget a tall shadow directly beneath the streetlight no discernible features whatsoever just pitch black with what looked like a hat on I snap around quickly to see the shadow without the mirror and naturally it's gone no hint of where it went and if it had been a person there was enough open ground surrounding the area that I wouldn't have missed it retreating in any direction I tell my cousin that we are not speaking about this further that he should go inside light a candle and say prayers meditate or whatever worked for him because something was listening sounds like the Hat man I had an encounter with him one night in Georgia I was maybe 20 to em and my little brother and I were renting a house in a pretty bad neighborhood in Athens the house should have been condemned really old and no AC with spiders living in the AC ducts but we were both broke and so it was all we could afford at the time our landlord was extremely shady and we would randomly come home to find him inside the house well it was summertime in Georgia so having no a/c was a death sentence so we bought two window unit Tacy's and both slept in the living room on air mattresses so we would only have air-conditioned one room we were both sleeping in the living room when I woke up at around 3:30 a.m. it happened to look towards my feet there at the foot of my bed silhouetted against the streetlights coming through the blinds of the huge livingroom window was a tall thin man in a suit and wide-brim hat I couldn't make out his face as it was all in shadow but I could see he was smiling and his eyes were glowing with a pale blue light I said nope and rolled over to look away from what I was sure was a ghost and he was instantly next to me directly in my face and had this wide toothy grin on his face I jumped back and yelled for my brother to wake up there's a ghost in our house and he just kind of rolled over and told me to go back to bed I looked back in the Hat man is gone i sat outside on the front stoop the rest of the night smoking we moved out maybe a month later and I never saw him again after that night not yet anyway but I'm always worried he'll come back on my dad's side of the family we have this ghost spirit that kind of just sits around only on my dad's side and we've named him to me back when I was eight it was three days before Christmas and I was watching Looney Tunes at 3:00 a.m. for whatever reason I heard a sound so I looked up towards the ceiling and when I did a Chuck on Lego bricks came flying at me seemingly from nowhere it wasn't my brother messing with me because he was sound asleep beside me I explained this to my parents and my dad says that he sees him sometimes too I called my grandmother dad's mom and she explains who Timmy is and how only this side of the family has encounters with him very strange but cool in a way bTW the Legos weren't thrown aggressively just enough to know that something was there a few years back my dad and me started a ghost hunting group we got the gear and everything we eventually started getting calls from scared homeowners who seemed to have some paranormal activity going on I'll never forget the second such call we went to we called it the hlg house this family seemed to have regular activity they were concerned and scared so we started our interview asking where the main points of activity were first was an odd sight in the bedroom closet when you looked up at the ceiling of the closet you would see the letters hlg burned in multiple spots the family had no idea how they got there or why they also had some of the usual activity of hearing voices our investigation of that room didn't yield much the area they had the most activity was in their basement not long after walking down into the basement both my dad and me hear a loud whisper coming from a part of the basement that was empty and inaccessible our recorders did pick up what was said however both of our recorders picked up an audible Hey but it turns out that wasn't the only thing our recorders picked up you could also hear chanting from multiple people repeating one word Petro pronounced like Pedro when we asked who is Petra the spirits would reply with salvation you could hear this chanting on our recorders anywhere in the house after extensive research we discovered that Petra was a type of evil voodoo spirit that learns other spirits to them pretending to be a God and Savior when we brought this up to the homeowners they told us they used to have a neighbor who they did not get along with who practiced a video when she moved away she left an effigy of some kind on the homeowners front porch these people thought the way to get rid of any curse it might have would be to burry it then they forgot where they buried it so now they can't get rid of the curse about three years ago me my sister and a cousin were driving back home from the movie theater when we encountered a really strange occurrence I can't explain the feeling I get but when I think about it I get tears in my eyes and feel that fear that spread all through my body when it happened all over again basically I was in the backseat and my sister was driving we were on a back road in a very rural county in the middle of nowhere Tennessee and we were about five minutes from my house the stretch of road we were on was completely straight and was surrounded by thick woods it was pitch-black so you could only see about 100 feet in front of the car so we were driving and all of a sudden about 100 or so feet ahead of us and over a little hill in the road we saw a large white thing walking across the road in an upright position in a really weird fashion it hit us all is absolutely terrifying with no thought at all we all started screaming we drove up on it and it was no longer standing up in fact it was a large white dog and it just sat down right in the middle of the road I don't know what kind of dog does that we were all terrified so my sister drove off the road around it we kept driving talking about how scary and off that was when the craziest thing this is what really scares me to this day about half a mile up the road the exact same dog comes walking back into the road and no kidding he sat down in front of our car you can only imagine how terrifying that was to this day it scares me to death just to think about I have another story of an odd creature I saw back in that County but I'll save it for another day needless to say I don't live there anymore I bought a house that was a foreclosure in Alaska chené we moved in the house just had weird vibes nothing too crazy but just felt off we got it for a steal so we decided that we just needed to get used to a new place it wasn't long before my then three-year son started asking us to tell the man in the hat' he can't look at me anymore and asked us about why daddy has red eyes turns out he was seeing someone standing in his doorway at night and staring at him later on we would start hearing conversations from the office downstairs when we would investigate the voices would stop as soon as the door opened the conversations were more murmur than actual words but had inflection that made you believe that two people were having a heated argument when we would sit in the basement I had converted it into a theater we would hear walking upstairs and more voices doors would slam in one snowy day we heard the door to the garage slam steps on the landing and then nothing I went to investigate with my pistol in hand as our neighbors were suspected heroin dealers and found a wet boot print on the landing just one all the doors were locked and the garage was dry the kicker was the night my wife got grabbed I was sitting in the living room and she had gone to bed to read I heard her scream and react as if she thought I had snuck into the room and grabbed her thigh it's not unlike me to do such a thing however when she heard the lazy boy recliner moving me scramble toward her she knew she had been grabbed we found writing in the walls during construction and the write and consisted of full daily journal entries from when the house was built personal entries documenting what happened on the specific day [Music]
