Carl beck house (Canada)


This house was built in the 1800s in Ontario, Canada. Carl beck, along with his nine children and wife lived in the house. He was a lumber magnate and the owner Beck industries. According to the reports, two of his children died at a young age in the house and his wife also passed really soon as a result all the responsibility of the children came on the eldest daughter.

The eldest daughter, “Mary ” had to look after the other children all the time. After some time, she had a fight with her father because she wanted to marry a guy and Carl beck did not agree on that, he did not find the guy fit to marry his daughter. Mary ran away from home. Before Carl beck died he divided the property equally amongst all of his children except for Mary who only got one dollar.

The house is now available for people to book for staying at nights. People who have stayed there have claimed of seeing an apparition of a man in a suit and other apparitions that are believed to be of Carl beck and his daughters. There have been multiple reports of objects moving on their own and lights turn on and off for apparently no reason. Some people have encountered an angry spirit that they believe to be of eldest daughter, Mary. There have been sightings of the spirits outside on the road too. The house is listed as a haunted house on airbnb and those who want to experience a chilling night can stay there.

Parents of Reddit describe the creepiest thing their kid has ever come out with that has given them the heebies?

r/stocky_stegasaurus

Let me start this off by saying I don’t have kids. My coworker at an old job invited me over for dinner one night. I went over, they had a little girl who was like 4 or 5 at the time. So we have dinner, she goes to bed, we’re all sitting around talking about business, having a few cocktails, whatever. It’s like 11 oclock, and the little girl comes down the stairs, half awake and says “mommy the no-no man is here.” And she’s just staring right through her dad. Like you can tell, it’s not directly at him, it’s through him. And all of a sudden we hear this bang, and the window right behind him, had slammed shut. It wasn’t a traditional window, it was one of those ones that you crank the arm to prop it open. Left the whiskey, got in the car and hauled ass the fuck outta there.
Few months later, another coworker was arrested for aggravated assault and stalking in relation to the family. But I know for a fact we looked at the window, like we looked outside, no one was there. Got super spooked out by that one.

My daughter laughing in her bed. then asking if tickled her feet
Its been years and it still makes me shiver.

r/rehilda


It wasnt something he came out with. But about a year ago, my then 2.5 year old son and i were playing. Sitting on the bed, laughing, him facing me. All of a sudden he looked behind me and his smile fades to a look of horror, like he was about to cry but couldnt move or make a sound. I whipped around ready to fight and there was nothing there. I looked back at him and asked him what he was looking at, and he just ignored me and started playing again

When my youngest daughter was 4 we were watching TV and something about aliens came on and there was a drawing of a Grey. She looked at the screen and announced “He looks like the man who sees me in the night”.

r/TMZombies Not a parent, but I was babysitting this kid across the street about a year ago. It was about 10 pm. The kid was in bed and was watching some TV show when saw something out of the corner of my eye. I looked and it was the kid just kinda staring at me. I asked if he was ok and all he said was –

“The shadow man won’t leave us alone.” Needless to say damn near shat bricks

r/allupinspace

Stayed with a family member for a few months while we were moving houses. My daughter was a little under two, and would always look at this one spot on the stairs that you could see from the living room (the stairs would go one direction, had a landing and go in another direction at a 90 degree angle). She would watch it and smile, or point at it. Anywhere picked her up, she would be fixated on this one spot. My family member mentioned one day it was the favorite napping place of her beloved cat that died happily and peacefully of old age.

Ancient Ram Inn

The Ancient Ram Inn is a former pub located in Wotton-under-Edge, a market town within the Stroud district of Gloucestershire, England. It was built in 1145 to house the masons and other builders employed to construct the neighbouring church. After some years a Reverend started residing in the house. In the 1000 years of its existence the ownership and residency have changed many times. After the priest the history of the inn is not well known but during the 1960s the inn was used as a pub. In the late 1960s the property was bought by John Humpries who protected it from vandalism.

Brian Robert Marshall

Legend has it that before construction the site was a 5000 year old pagan burial ground. The hauntings and paranormal activity makes sense when a property is built on a pagan burial ground. During the construction of a church near the property, several constructions were also done around the inn that may have led to ,according to what many paranormal researchers believe, as the opening of the portal of dark energy.

Brian Robert Marshall

When John Humpries moved to the property, on the first night itself the spirits made themselves known. They reportedly dragged him in the house. People believe that the spirits that haunt the inn are not some normal ghosts and entities but rather they are demonic entities because when one enters the property they can feel the maliciousness inside. They can sense the air becoming thicker, difficulty in breathing as if they are not wanted there. Paranormal researchers believe that the presence of the portal of dark energy allows these entities to come and go at will.

Brian Robert Marshall

During his residence at the property, John Humpries recovered many peculiar things from inside the house. Skeletal remains of children, evidence of devil worship rituals.

The paranormal activities were so intense that his wife and children refused to live there and moved out of the property, but John Humpries did not leave the property. In 2016, John Humpries broke his leg and at 87 years old he could not look after himself and his daughter tried to find a carer but nobody agreed to work there. In the end they had to hire two carers because everyone was scared to work there alone. Even then the carers would sometimes be seen on the cctv running scared and screaming.

The staircase

There are several spirits that are known to haunt the inn. The most famous among them are-

A 16th century Witch that was supposedly killed during the witch trials.

The children that were ritualistically killed in the place that the inn was built or maybe after it was built.

The Innkeepers daughter hung herself in the attic.

A baby’s wail can be heard in the kitchen.

The Bishop’s room

The Bishop’s room is said to be the most haunted room where even John Humpries did not enter without knocking. Dark and evil spirits are said to haunt this room where bishops used to stay.

The ancient building is a hub for paranormal activity and the spirits are believed to pass through from there at will. Nowadays the inn hosts tours for those interested in creating a contact with other-worldly. Visitors are said to have been sick, pushed and even scratched while alone inside the inn. The ancient Ram’s inn has featured in several tv shows, most famous of them being the ghost adventures.

Whether one believes in the paranormal or not, those who have visited or stayed in the inn agree that there is something terribly wrong with that place.

Pocatello high school (Idaho)

Pocatello is one of the largest cities in Idaho with a rich history. In the early 19th century traders moved to the region in numbers because of the riches of the region. During the 1860s after the gold rush even more and more people started settling in Pocatello. In the later years people who had permanently settled there turned to agriculture. Because of its history Pocatello is considered to be one of the most haunted cities in the whole of the USA.

Beantwo

One of the most haunted locations in Pocatello is the Pocatello high school.
This school was built in 1892 and was one of the most majestic buildings of that time occasionally hosting concerts and athletic events. The school was completely burnt down in 1914 due to a fire in the boiler room and was rebuilt again.

Taken from- Idaho State University blog

The paranormal activity was first reported at the school in the 1940s. There is a story about two girls who made a suicide pact. One girl hung herself while the other girl backed out. The spirit of that girl was sighted by many people after that and sometimes people have an encounter with the spirit even to this day. After her death, people would smell her favourite perfume out of nowhere, other hauntings include a piano being played at night when no one is inside the school, apparitions seen standing looking at people through the library window when people are standing outside and from outside of the library window when people are standing inside. People believe the apparition to be the spirit of a young boy that died after drowning in the school’s swimming pool. The staff would hear continuous whispering inside the building even at night when nobody should have been inside the building.

Nearly everybody at the school knows about it being haunted. The staff and the students all agree that there’s something off about the building. Toilets randomly flush, doors mysteriously close, and some have reported either seeing or feeling the presence of an apparition.

However, there came a lot more evidence for those who were still skeptical about the hauntings. In 2014,a video was captured by the school’s security camera in which a dark mass can be seen walking in the school towards the bathroom. The video went viral and paranormal investigators believe that the video is one of the most authentic pieces of evidence proving the existence of the supernatural.

The Langham hotel: (LONDON)

The Langham , London


Europe’s first grand hotel vowed European royalty with electric lights, hydraulic lifts and air conditioning when it opened in 1865. It was the largest and the most modern hotel around the city and it still pulls fans from around the world, including more than its fair share of celebrities. During its early days it was frequented by some of the most iconic celebrities that included Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, Napoleon III, Czech composer Dvorák and it was one of the most favourite spots for the British royal family as well.

Langham hotels international

From 2004 to 2009 several renovations took place in the hotel to restore it to its original form with the total estimated cost of up to 80 million USD.

Public domain/ British library

The hotel was featured in many movies and tv shows.
However, it has also been frequented by a number of ghosts.


The most common sighting is of a man in victorian evening wear in ROOM 333,who apparently appears only during October. Room 333 is said to be one of the most haunted rooms around the world.
Another guest claimed to have seen the figure of a man in military attire standing by the window of the fourth floor who is apparently believed to be the ghost of a soldier who killed himself by jumping from the same window. There’s a ghost butler that vanishes when it’s approached.
It is also believed that the ghost of Napolean 3, another former guest haunts the basement of the hotel.

w:User:Timitzer

A BBC reporter while staying in room 333 was awoken at night and he saw a ball of light moving towards him. It slowly started transforming itself into an almost complete human form. The reporter ran out of the room and took a colleague with him back to the room, the figure was still there but was slowly fading away.
During one of their stays there, the English cricket team were troubled by the spooky occurrences and they became convinced that the hotel was haunted. Taps would turn on/off by themselves. They also felt a strong presence with them during their stay at the hotel.
They were always woken up by sounds and could not sleep at all. Stuart broad and his wife were particularly most affected by these occurrences and they went to sleep in another teammates twin room. The next day the team requested a change of hotel because they could not sleep at all.


The hauntings at the hotel were first reported in the 1970s but the management is not afraid of the reputation of the hotel being labelled as haunted. Langham is still one of the most beautiful hotels and it still hosts some of the most famous celebrities.

The haunting of house at Brownsville road

Joe katrencik

Located at 3406 Brownsville road, Pennsylvania the house was built in 1909-10. In 1988, Bob Cramer moved in along with his wife and four children.

He bought the house as soon as it went up for sale. Even before moving in, when Bob came for a walkthrough, his youngest son Bobby jr got scared of an unseen force. As soon as they moved in, they began to experience creepy stuff inside the house. They always had a feeling of being watched.

The previous owners were really keen on selling the house and accepted the first offer from Bob. In the beginning, there were only small things like lights turning on/off on their own, feeling of being watched etc. However after some time the family members became extremely anxious. His wife and children started having serious mental issues and required hospitalisation. The family members knew of the presence of an entity inside the house but they had no idea that these mental issues are because of that entity. The family members started seeing black foggy mass around the house and would also smell a horrible stench.

After contacting a Catholic Church they came to know that they are not dealing with a spirit but a demon. An exorcism was performed during which metal crucifixes were found bent and blood would start dripping from the walls. One of the children even saw a demonic entity outside one room and started crying. The entity was sighted by many family members after that. The cleansing was carried on for several years after which the paranormal activity finally subsided.

More details about the haunting are mentioned in the book ” The demon of brownsville road” written by Bob cramer himself.

Eastern state penitentiary (Pennsylvania)


The eastern state penitentiary, also known as ESP is a former American prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The prison opened in 1825 and became the first in the U.S. to implement solitary confinement, a hotly debated practise during that time. Prisoners lived in gloomy rooms with virtually no human contact, hoods placed over their heads anytime they were moved.

The system was opposed by the people as they preferred a system where prisoners could work together in silence. The solitary confinement system eventually collapsed due to overcrowding. It was then operated as a congregate prison till 1970 when it was officially closed. In the 19th century the prison became one of the largest tourist destinations where the visitors could talk to inmates so that they do not feel isolated. It is believed that due to isolation the prisoners were driven insane. The punishments used were also very harsh. The prisoners were dipped and dunked in water bath and hung on a wall during winters till the ice formed on their skin. The mad chair, which bound the inmates so tightly that circulation was cut off and then there was the ” Hole ” a dark underground where there was no light, no human contact, no exercise and very little food.


The prison is considered to be one the most haunted places. Dozens of paranormal investigators visit every year and report multifarious paranormal activity. The places with most activity include cellblock 12 known for echoing whispers, cellblock 6 and 4 for shadowy figures darting of the walls and ghostly faces. Many people have claimed of seeing a silhouette of a guard. One of the most legendary tales comes from Gary Johnson, who helps maintain the crumbling old locks at the prison. In the early 1990s, he opened an old lock in cellblock 4 when a force gripped him so tightly he was unable to move and he saw tormented faces appear on the walls. The prison is now being run as a museum and haunted attraction. These stories may or may not be true but the chilling past of the prison, inhumane attitude toward the prisoners and the sinister atmosphere do make a solid case.

Dow hill forest (kurseong, India)


Dow hills in kurseong is one of the most pleasing sights of India. It has been nicknamed as the “land of orchids”.

However, the town has a dark side to it. The Victoria boys school located in dow hills is a place where a lot of paranormal activity occurs. Most of the town was constructed during the British rule and it is natural for the spirits to infest the old buildings. It gets really cold during the winters so the schools remain closed from December to March.

Even during the holidays people claim to hear the sounds of footsteps, high pitched whispers and screams coming from the school. However, it is not just the school that is haunted, the whole town becomes creepy at night and the locals are scared to even go out alone after 7 PM because of the mysterious sightings. The place is claimed to be haunted since the 18th century as a lot of murders happened there during that time and finding a dead body on the road had become a custom.

Arkashis Das

All the paranormal stuff that occurs within the town is attributed to the dow hill forests surrounding the town. These forests give out a chilly vibe. The forests sometimes become eerily quiet i.e. even the natural sounds of the forest seems to disappear. People get hallucinations while walking in the forests. There is a small stretch of road within the forests known as the death road. The road is believed to be haunted by the spirit of a headless boy who walks on the road and dissappears as soon as it reaches the forest. People often get an intense feeling of being watched near the woods. A woman in grey clothing has also been sighted multiple times. The population of kurseong consisted of locals and students because the place was famous for its schools. The students used to wander in the forests in search for paranormal. Some people believe that these a just rumors but majority of the people have witnessed their fair share of hauntings in the town.

Long haul truckers of reddit share their paranormal encounters.

Driving all around the country is a pain for some while for others it is a pleasure and for those whose livelihoods include driving around the country it can be either of the two. While on long stretch of roads miles away from any sort of civilization, our mind often starts playing trick on us or maybe we really experience something strange or supernatural and as theres nobody with us to attest about this we try to rationalize these things as our mind playing tricks on us or highway hypnosis of some sort or it can be both. While we can’t say for sure which of these things plays a more important part here are some of those creepy experiences from long haul truckers.


r/ibuildcommunities


I’m not a long haul trucker, but was on a kind of long road trip one night. Was about 1-2am. Saw a huge flash out towards the right rear passenger side. Almost like stadium lights turned on then off real quick. So bright and white, it was crazy. Thing is, I was on a major interstate, in the middle of a forest, no cars around me. My first thought was an angel or something.
To this day I’m still stumped.


r/aquatermain


A friend of my cousin was a long haul trucker. He was making a delivery across the country and was in a hardly used dirt stretch of a rural route. Since the road wasn’t exactly peachy he had to drive slowly.

He sees another truck slowly approaching from the opposite direction, and he sees the truck is the same as his. Since this isn’t fairly uncommon, he didn’t think much of it but as the other one grew closer he decided to honk in recognition of having the same kind of truck. The other one replies and all is good. That is, until they narrowly and very slowly had to pass one another. He turned to Iook at the driver and he saw himself. Not a reflection, not a similar person but his exact same copy, same clothes, same hat, same red beard, staring at him. They passed each other and that was that.

He told me he’d seen very weird things, but that was the moment he decided to stop being a trucker.


r/flashdman


Myself and 2 friends had to drive from Laredo, TX to Baton Rouge, LA one night in my Ford van. It was about 2am. There is a particularly long and dark section of highway just outside Laredo…no buildings, towns or lights for about 50 miles.

I was in the right lane coming up on a truck and pulled out into the left passing lane. As was slowly overtaking this long truck, my peripheral vision caught a sudden movement of this big truck towards the right shoulder. saw the truck was swerving to avoid hitting a person dressed in all white, white face…who’s arms were folded across the chest and eyes were closed as they walked across the highway. swerved to the left and barely missed this ghostly looking person with my passenger mirror…can still remember seeing that the eyes were closed…that’s how close we came to hitting this person..


r/YorkshireTeapot

I’m a truck driver in the UK. Was driving through rural Scotland one night going down a country lane, all off a sudden start to see flashing lights come through the trees. Lights of all colours flashing through the trees and causing some really freaky looking shadows on the road.

I’m not a believer of aliens or anything but my first thought was ufos. Safe to say I put my foot down and got out of there.

Found out the next day it was rave happening in a field. But at the time it didn’t half scare me.


r/iamverysuccessful

Not exactly at a road, but in the sky. I’m a pilot and usually fly around Florida. This specific night was out at around 11:30pm with a friend, flying down the eastern shoreline, when I suddenly see a medium-sized white light slowly start coming towards us, stop, and then go vertically into the ocean and disappear. Both my friend and saw it and we were completely speechless. Asked the air traffic control if there were any kind of aircraft around us and he told us we were the only aircraft in a 40 mile radius.


r/S_craig


My grandfather was in the Air Force and one night he was driving (back to his base maybe??? can’t quite remember) and he saw a woman standing on the side of the road in a long white dress at about two AM. He circled back to ask if she needed help and she was nowhere to be seen.

He searched for her for about an before giving up, and deciding to leave it alone. When he decided to go on his way he had a strong feeling that he needed to switch lanes (he was on the road alone in the middle of the night so he had no idea why) and just ahead on the road there was a broken down truck with no hazards on that he would have hit, and probably been killed by, if he stayed in the lane he had been in.

To this day he’s convinced the woman was trying to warn him, like an omen or something.


r/Aceofspades161


Creepiest

Driving 40 1-30 through Texas and Arkansas, I would see what looked like animals/faces popping out of the bushes but longer than a glance proved nothing there. They had just paved the highway, and there was hardly any traffic. I was dead tired, it was super dark.
bypnosis suppose.

Paranormal

When I went to local driving, my route ran near an Air Reserve Base in Indiana, so you’d see planes and helicopters pretty often. One night, about 2 AM, I was headed to pick up another load when I saw a bright green light in the corner of my windshield. It was too low to be an aircraft. It moved pretty slowly, then darted and lost sight of it behind some trees drove by. Typical saw a UFO” shit, but I still think it was just a helicopter or a jet that saw at the prefect angle that turned after a takeoff. The jet pilots have broken the sound barrier over town a couple times in the past (sonic boom) so a jet flying abnormally isn’t necessarily out of the realm of possibility.

Just batshit carzy

Driving South on I-75 in the winter in Ohio, I witnessed a compact car like a Cobalt or similar get on the on-ramp to merge in to I-75 North and lost control. They went sideways, fell at least 6 feet off the ramp and onto the shoulder of the interstate landing on al 4 wheels, spun 360 degrees, and then proceeded to merge into traffic like it was fucking nothing. Blew. My. Fucking. Mind. The CB radio was going fucking nuts for about 5 minutes. “HOLY SHIT WHO ELSE JUST FUCKING SAW THAT?”, etc.


r/IshvalanWarrior

My dad has several stories from hauling logs in Idaho and driving trucks through Utah and Nevada. My favorite is from actually just in his pickup going through Utah. He said there was a light keeping pace with him out in the desert on a moonless night. It kept pace for a minute before it disappeared and his truck turned off. He stopped and turned it on and pulled off at the next diner. The folks in the diner called it a common occurrence.

The creepiest is when he was hauling logs in ldaho and was coming down from near Coeur d’alene area during a snowy winter night. He was putting on chains before heading down steep grade and said all of the hair stood up on his body. It felt like there was something watching him. Halfway down the switchbacks he saw a large figure standing on a 20 foot tall embankment. As he got closer it jumped down and the shoulders were as tall as the cab. In a single bound it leaped down and then leaped over to the other side of the embankment. At the time he thought it was a Sasquatch, now he says it was probably a “demon” trying to make him crash. He didn’t stop to remove the chains until he was well away from the mountain.


r/Deleted


Woah that actually reminds me of a story. live in Spokane which is about 45 min away from Coeur d’alene. was driving back from my aunts in the dark one night and just hit a massive wall of fog. turn the corner and a whole herd of deer come running down the road toward me. I slow down a lot so dont hit them. Then after another few seconds see a woman standing im the street facing away from me with dirty clothes.

The area was in is known to have meth heads and heroin addicts so cracked the window and called out to her and asked if she needed me to call anyone. As soon as spoke her head whipped around and it looked like she was a burn victim; huge lidless eyes, no eyebrows, voldemort nose, and a mouth that looked like it was melted or sewn up or something. Then she ran off into the woods and I drove a lot faster than should have home.

Redditors describe their sleep paralysis experience.

Have you ever had that feeling where you feel like you are awake but you can’t move your body and it feels like there’s a heavy object on your chest ? If not then congratulations you are one of those lucky ones who have not experienced this creepy phenomenon “yet”. Many names have been used to describe this phenomenon, SLEEPING PARALYSIS or OLD HAG SYNDROME are perhaps the most common ones.

Apparently many people who experience this do it very frequently. While asleep people wake up but are not able to move their body and in that moment one can see shadows from the corner of their eyes , sometimes too close for comfort. There are many chilling stories related to sleeping paralysis. There is a scientific explanation for this phenomenon but mostly people who experience these disagree with these explanations.

During these sleep paralysis episodes people often witness some kind of sleep paralysis demons. They have different characteristics for every different person and can look really horrifying according to what some of the people might have described. This coupled with the fact that one cant even move or speak makes it alot more horrifying. Here are some of the stories of redditors who have witnessed these sleep paralysis demons.

1. u/dreams-outrageous

You know, when I was younger (and still a little bit now) I believed that having sleep paralysis was halfway crossing over to another world or dimension. And the demons that would visit me knew I was a little lost, and that thier appearance might be jarring to me, as I was little.

And maybe the habit of just being non threatening and gentle never went away as I got older. I do recall one time I managed to let out this little scared whine, and I swore, the demon shushed me and gently patted my head.

Regardless of whether or not sleep paralysis demons are real, they certainly feel real. So weird. Also good to know that I’m not the only one who has harmless sleep demons.

2. u/binmehdi

I’ve a strange demon. He is old like 50 years, is bald somewhat and has a very satanic face with a beard. He grabs me from my back and sequezes me too much that I scream and scream until my mom or brother comes to my room to wake me up. This doesn’t happen when I am sleeping straight or on the left side but happens when I am sleeping on right. That means even without any weigh on my body I feel him. It has been 4 months since I last saw him. I am poor at drawing but I’ve seen him so much that I can describe his facial features.

3. u/Bloop_bleep_bloopp My first time it was a figure in a motorcycle helmet standing in the doorway of my room. My first time living away from home on my own. It feels like your mouth is sewn shut and your tongue isn’t there anyway even if you wanted to scream, and your body is stapled you the bed, or in some thick substance that doesn’t let you move. I get it less and less often as I get older (think messing around with drugs caused it) and now when I get it I can alter my breathing enough my boyfriend wakes up and can then wake me up. It’s bloody horrible though.

4. u/TheTwiggsMGW

Through college and few years after I had sleep paralysis fairly often. It was never the same hallucination. The first experience was Samara from The Ring hanging over me and dripping water onto me (woke up drenched in sweat). I’ve also just seen the shadows of people on the wall while they spoke nonsense from the foot of my bed, seemingly with ill intent but I couldn’t understand them.

5. u/dreams-outrageous

Most of the time it was too dark for me to see, so it would just be the feeling of something pressing down on me, forcing me into the mattress, and usually accompanied by exaggerated house sounds or the sounds of nature outside of my window was open.

Usually whenever I have them, they appear in the corner of my room. They’re tall, and impossibly thin, with large and long hands, all pitch shadows with red circles where eyes should be. They sorta resemble people?

They usually just come up and sit on the edge of my bed, and pat my knee gently as if to comfort me. They aren’t mean or anything. They go between looking at me, and just looking at things around my room, reading posters, etc.

Eventually they sorta just… dissolve into thin air, and then they’re gone. Its a weird experience, but I’m glad its not deeply horrifying.

6. u/scythevettore

I used to have them when I was younger. I would always wake up and three blob-ish black masses would be at the foot of my bed. No faces but blacken (moreso than their bodies) and sunken in where their face should have been, no sharp lines or distinct figures. Just three separate blobs floor to about 6ft long. Couldn’t move, felt like I couldn’t breathe, and I would just have to lay there until they dissipated. They weren’t violent but felt malevolent. Felt like hours until they left but I had no sense of how much time would pass.

I would like to note that my mother made me collect dolls growing up and would put them in my room. I whole heartedly believe those keep the dead inside but that’s my opinion

7. u/mindfeces

There’s frequently an auditory component to my sleep paralysis.

I intuitively know “they” are on the other side of my bedroom door, soon to enter.

The auditory part consists of the times when I can “hear” (this is a bit more of a dreamlike sensation) savage knocking and rattling. That part is pure fucking torture.

8. u/Wild Sea_9827

Before I was diagnosed with narcolepsy and found out about sleep paralysis, I thought I had ghost encounters, with touching and telekinetic stuff and everything. This new information made sense of my life again.

9. Unknown

I’ve had sleep paralysis like twice. I never had any visual hallucinations though. Just auditory hallucinations. Both times it was the deafening sound of television or radio static. One of the times freaked me out because I had my radio on so I thought that something was messing with it. Tried to get up to see what was going on with it and realized I couldn’t move. Luckily I was familiar with sleep paralysis and was able to wake myself up.

10. kirkrjordan-Bd

Before I knew what sleep paralysis was thought I was straight up haunted…now I know otherwise.

The hallucinations and feeling like you’re buried under a ton of bricks is indeed scary.

What is worse though is that you feel a malevolent presence in the room and it is somehow exerting the paralyzing force onto you… that’s even more scary.

Those 3 things are all scary on their own and worse together but they are all rational fear responses to what is happening. Sleep paralysis fear feels different…it feels like on top of all of the above the chemical in your brain that makes you feel afraid is being injected into you. Pure. Fear. In your brain…completely irrational fear..on top of all the other stuff.

That’s the best I’ve way I’ve been able to describe the horror.
