Ah, anyway, I hope you all have a fantastic day. And all that said, uh, yeah, here are five paranormal encounter stories from Reddit. Enjoy. It was in July or June. It was late in the evening, and the sun was nearly set. I was sitting outside the back with my mother.

Starting point is 00:01:52 I got up and walked a few feet over to the edge of a bank, and looked over to the side of our house. I wasn't expecting to see anything, but over by the hedge of trees, I saw a very distinct white orb. It was maybe the size of about three. three golf bowls, sorry if this is a bad description, but it was perfectly orb-shaped, and it was glaring white, like looking at the sun. I literally just caught a glimpse of it. It moved very erratically, and then it moved above the trees and under onto the other side of my neighbor's yard. The minute I saw it, it left, which makes me think that it didn't want me to see it. In total, I saw it for about three, maybe five seconds. My dad said it was a lightning ball, but

Starting point is 00:02:36 I don't think it was just because I remember that summer I was reading a lot about aliens and paranormal stuff, and I was also feeling really bad and anxious, and I think it's weird that I saw that after I had been looking into that kind of stuff. I honestly don't have a clue what it was, and I'm hoping that maybe someone here might know something, or have seen something similar. A close friend of my mothers used to live in a fairly large split-level home with an odd layout. After opening the front door to this abode, one would be condescary. confronted with a long set of steps that led to the second floor. The most essential parts of the house were on the second floor,

Starting point is 00:03:19 but there were a couple of bedrooms on the ground floor. I had always found this place to be subtly off-putting and quite uncanny. Every time I visited it, I found its residual energy hard to shake off, so to speak. The feeling that it left me with would often bleed into the next couple of days. No matter where I was, my surroundings still felt like that house for a little while before the effect wore off. I experienced this sort of thing with most places I visit, but the aura of this house was particularly strong. When I was about five, my mother and I visited the home. After we were all settled in and my mom was having an involved and lively conversation with her friend in the

Starting point is 00:03:58 kitchen, I had a sudden urge to explore every inch of this strangely configured house. The kitchen and living room were at the top of the initial set of stairs, and everything else was to my right. I followed a long corridor with several dens and bedrooms on either side of it. There was also a large bathroom and a narrow set of stairs that led to the ground level. On the first level, there was a lot of cheap faux wood paneling, two small rooms and another small bathroom. I remained in and around the corridor on the second floor for a while, and found seemingly endless things to explore.

Starting point is 00:04:33 The house didn't even look that big from the outside, and I was baffled at the discrepancy between its interior and exterior. I wandered into one of the dens, which was the last room on my left. It had a lot of beautiful natural light and a fully mirrored wall, which might have been a closet with sliding mirror doors. Next to the mirror,

Starting point is 00:04:50 there was something hanging on a narrow wall that caught my attention. It was a stark, white mask. It could have been painted wood, but it also might have been ceramic. Its face was round and had very chubby cheeks. Its tiny mouth was closed and had cherry red lips that smiled slightly.

Starting point is 00:05:07 Its eyes were also very tiny and almond-shaped. I interpreted the features to be male. This mask seemed notably out of place. The house was unusual, but its decor was typical of suburbia in the mid-1980s. It also had a nautical vibe because the husband of mom's friend was a sailor. The mask looked like it had teleported straight out of the 15th century of China. A more appropriate setting for the artifact would have been in a museum, or at least a fancier house. I stood there and stared at it for a while

Starting point is 00:05:38 and gradually became a little light-headed. I felt inexplicably drawn to its smooth, plump, white face and Mona Lisa's smile. At some point, Mom and her friend found me in the mirrored room. One of them asked you what I was doing in there all by myself, took my hand, and led me into the kitchen for a late lunch. In the following years throughout my childhood, I would sometimes think of the mask and fall into a brief trance-like state

Starting point is 00:06:03 whenever it entered my mind. Sometimes I would dream of it. Nothing would really happen in these dreams. I would just be standing there and my surroundings would change. Often I would find myself in my parents' bedroom or wandering the split-level house. The aura of the mask would be present and I would feel slightly light-headed as before. Whenever I dreamed of the mask, the feeling of the house and of the mask would be impossible to get rid of the following day or two. Sometimes I found it unsettling, as well as mesmerizing, but never faced.

Starting point is 00:06:35 figured out why. I can't remember how old I was, but between the ages of 7 and 10 approximately, I would ask my mom if she remembered seeing a mask at the split-level home. I would describe it in detail, and my mom would always look puzzled, suggest that I may have seen it as someone else's house, and assume that my memory was faulty. I asked her about it several times periodically throughout my preteen years, and each time she would have no recollection of me asking about it previously. Without fail, she would suggest that I saw it somewhere else, and that my little five-year-old memory was unreliable. One day I was frustrated and asked mom to ask her friend if she ever had a white Asian mask with a chubby face and small red lips in her suburban home in the 80s.

Starting point is 00:07:16 The answer was no. No one remembered this mask. Okay, so my family and I moved into an old house around six or seven years ago, and for a year or two, everything was normal. However, when my little brother was born, strange things started happening around the house. I remember walking into the kitchen one day after school to get a glass of water, and I happened to look over toward the basement door. Right at the entrance leading down to the basement, I saw a black figure that was probably around four feet wide and six feet tall. I remember looking at the figure for 30 seconds, and then I looked away to grab my glass of water, almost forgetting what I came into the kitchen for, and then it was gone. Later in the evening, I told my stepdad about the experience that I had a few

Starting point is 00:08:05 hours earlier, and he looked at me and said that he too saw the same exact figure earlier in the morning, in the same exact spot. We both still can't explain it, and it scares us even to this day. I'll have more of my experiences posted soon, and I would like some advice if you have any. I've known my house was haunted my entire life. My family knows it as well. My mom always told me they can't hurt you. The entities have always targeted me as I'm an only child. I've seen and hurt things that I can't explain all my life. They seemed to enjoy my fear and feet off of it. They used the stairs to torment me the most.

Starting point is 00:08:47 For years, I heard what sounded like someone walking up and down the stairs. I knew it wasn't apparent, because I used to open my door when I was almost positive it was my dad, and no one was ever there. Also, it would happen continuously for a few minutes or up to an hour straight. Up and down, up and down. It was different some nights. Sometimes it would be like someone was running up and down the stairs. Sometimes it would be like really slow and I could hear each and every step.

Starting point is 00:09:13 I would always feel like it was coming to get me, and it always happened around 12 to 3 a.m. One time it was so loud I started crying out of sheer terror. I was too scared to leave my room and run to my parents, so I just sat in bed shaking, absolutely terrified. My parents said they didn't hear it the next day. I still don't understand how it didn't wake them up. It was as if someone was wearing heavy boots, stomping up each step. The first floor at night was another story. That's where everything happened.

Starting point is 00:09:43 As a kid, I used to sprint down, grab what I needed as fast as possible, and then run right back up to my room. It was terrifying. I always felt as if someone was standing right behind me watching every move I made. I would get chills and my heart would race. I tried to never show my fear, because I knew whatever it was was enjoying when I was afraid. My friends were always terrified of my house as well,

Starting point is 00:10:07 going down for any reason was always a joint effort. They would never go downstairs alone. One of the worst experience that has happened occurred one random night when I went down to get a snack. I was in front of the fridge, and all of a sudden a horrible feeling came about. It literally felt like someone was breathing down my neck. I felt pure hatred like it really wished it could hurt me.

Starting point is 00:10:29 I still remember the feeling. I sunk in fear and realized I had to run. I ran as fast as I could back to my room and close the door. Not even a minute later, I heard it running up the stairs after me. I didn't sleep that night. I still get chills thinking about it. As I got older, I got used to its games and stopped feeding into them. I started to sleep with the TV on pretty loud, so I didn't hear the stairs. I've learned that I needed to completely ignore their attempts to stir me. If I got afraid, I would repeat over and over in my head for it to go away. I haven't experienced anything

Starting point is 00:11:02 in years because of this. I guess they got bored from not getting a terrified reaction out of anymore since I'm no longer a kid. I'm just glad it stopped, honestly. There is a child entity in my parents' house that my entire family has seen except for me. I haven't lived there full time in many years, but the sightings started years before I moved out. The first time I heard of this boy who supposedly lives in the house was roughly 12 years ago, shortly after moving in. My little brother, five or six at the time, claimed he saw a dark-skinned boy in the bathroom wearing farm clothes. My brother only told my mom the story.

Starting point is 00:11:44 Months later, my sister, 11 at the time, told my mom she saw a boy playing with her toys. What really scared us is that both siblings have the same description of the boy that they saw, but neither sibling had spoken to each other about it. Since then, both parents and my other sisters, five family members in total, claimed to have seen and heard him on several occasions. He has never caused any trouble or acted maliciously. My house has no history, and we move. in when the house was freshly built. I don't know if I believe there's a spirit in that house,

Starting point is 00:12:17 but I do know that my family truly believes it, and they aren't pulling a prank on me. If this boy is there, why do you think he never appeared to me? Alternatively, do you think this is some form of shared false memory between my family? Well, there you go, my friends, that was five paranormal experiences straight from Reddit.
