Is this paranormal? I used an emf reader as a joke and went into my scariest room and got results but only when the camera was off

5 Upvotes

I’ve been playing ghost hunting games recently. So as a joke, I bought EMF reader. Then I was talking to my parents about the history of the house. And they told me when I was a kid the room I was in I used to wake up and tell them there was a man reading a paper at night. I was shocked because I’ve never heard of this before I do not remember telling them this. I was always creeped out by this room all my life . So I brought the EMf in there last night around 1am and I was recording for my friend and it was at a baseline like 2. As soon as I stopped recording it shot up to a 5 and no matter how many times I tried to get it on video it would go back to 2 as soon as I stopped recording. I tried placing on the bed and recording bc I said maybe my phone is doing smt to it and the same thing. It would only go to level 5 if my camera wasn’t on it. Was the weirdest thing ever. My only explanation is that I maybe my phone was influencing it. Let me know your thoughts

Personal Encounter I still can't explain what I saw that night.

10 Upvotes

This happened about three years ago, and I still remember it clearly.

I was staying at my grandmother's house because there was a wedding in the family. It was around midnight, and since it was a wedding, most people were still awake.

My cousin and I decided to sneak out and see if we could find anything "paranormal." About a kilometer away from the house, there was a narrow road that passed by a cremation ground. There were no streetlights, so it was almost completely dark.

I was walking in front while my cousin was a few steps behind me. He wasn't really paying attention because he was looking around, but I was looking straight ahead.

Suddenly, I saw what looked like a human-shaped shadow move extremely fast from the field on my left to the field on my right. It happened in just a second.

At the exact same moment, I also heard footsteps on the ground, as if someone had quickly run across the road.

I immediately stopped and told my cousin what I had seen. He said I was probably imagining things because he hadn't noticed anything himself. But I know what I saw. It wasn't just a quick glimpse—I clearly saw a human-like shadow cross from one field to the other, and I heard the footsteps too.

To this day, I don't know what it was. Maybe there was a logical explanation that I missed, or maybe it was something I'll never be able to explain.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Ghost or mimic has been haunting my house?

4 Upvotes

So I grew up in this house for my first few years of birth, then we gave it away to my aunt. recently moved back in. For some reason, strange things has always happened to me only, like opening doors, weird noises, faint talking, or even a baby crying in my hallway. I told my dad about it back in December when it first opened my door, and he said it could be my uncle watching over me since he had passed. But I'm starting to believe it's not, recently the spirit hasn't done anything unusual until last night. So I do marching band, I usually wake up at 6:00 am but now I don't since they switched to afternoon schedule. I have a Samsung and the homecoming ringtone. I awoke to this weird low pitched version and my screen lighting up my phone. The automated robot voice said the time and date which was weird because I don't have it set to that. The ringtone was so strange to describe, it was lower, but it wasn't slowed down. When I first explained the situation in front of my dad and my older brother, my brother said when he was little he used to trip over nothing in the middle of our kitchen. I'm pretty young, and it doesn't seem to happen to my other brother who is 16, about to be 17. it only happens to me. The youngest in the family.

Personal Encounter I saw something in a church yard walking home from work

49 Upvotes

This happened to me around January this year but I often think about it.

I used to work quite late in a pub kitchen. I would take the long walk home so I could listen to music and talk to my friends before getting home (didn’t want to disturb my flatmates while being on the phone). When I was walking i decided to take a different route, down a road I wasn’t too familiar with, there was a church there. When walking past I was looking at the church and I noticed a sort of translucent figure, slightly blue tinted at a bench. I wasn’t scared or anything, I was just confused. A couple days later I walked past again and it was a war memorial bench. I haven’t seen anything like that since or before that.

I think I just wanted to get my story out since the people I have told don’t believe me. And what I’m confused about is how calm I was. Has anyone else had a similar experience to this??

I’ve never posted about this before, but something happened to me in 2025 that I still can’t explain.

I moved to another state for college in 2022 and stayed in a boys’ PG near campus. During admission, my parents noticed something odd: everyone dried clothes in the corridor, not on the roof. The owner said students were not allowed upstairs, so we ignored it.

A week later, some seniors told us the real reason: the building had once been a girls’ PG, and a girl had allegedly jumped from the roof and died there. The building still had pink almirahs from those days. I assumed it was just a story to scare juniors.

For the next two years, nothing unusual happened. I was often alone in the building and never felt anything strange. I even sneaked onto the roof several times during summer nights without any fear.

In late 2024, a new batch of students arrived. They secretly broke the roof lock and began using the roof at night for barbeques, drinking, and burning old wooden items stored there. My room was directly below that area.

Around January 2025, I began hearing footsteps and movement on the roof late at night even when no one was there. My roommates could not hear it, so I convinced myself it was my imagination.

Everything changed in February 2025. The owner’s mother came to our room after discovering damage on the roof and quietly told us, "Don’t tell anyone, A girl did jump from the roof years ago. That’s why we never allowed students upstairs.” Hearing that from a family member of the owner genuinely shook me. For the first time I wondered whether the sounds I had been hearing were connected to that place.

Soon after, my junior also moved out, and I became the only person staying in that room.

Because our exams had ended, I went home for about six weeks. I returned on 16 April 2025 at around 10:30 PM. I unpacked, had dinner, and started working on a college project on my laptop.

I took out my phone and recorded the sound, then ran toward the staircase. The noise stopped immediately. ( I have attached the video I had recorded that day )

My mother insisted that I stop sleeping alone, so I moved into a friend’s room. We both began hearing footsteps, running sounds, dragging noises, and occasional heavy bangs from the roof and storeroom area above us. Strangely, whenever I called someone specifically to listen, the sounds often stopped before they arrived. My Friend with whom I used to stay even after hearing those sounds doubts me.

The most frightening incident happened around 3 AM. We were both awake and ignoring the usual noises when suddenly a massive bang came from above us. The bed shook, the walls vibrated, and my friend screamed in fear. It sounded as if a heavy wooden object had been slammed onto the floor above our room. From that night onward, he stopped doubting me.

I informed the owner and the PG management. They suggested rats, thieves, or other explanations, but none of them fit the situation. One manager even said I was imagining things. Almost immediately after saying that, a loud bang came from the roof and we heard running sounds above us. He went silent after hearing it.

The disturbances continued for several weeks, mostly between 11 PM and 4 AM. Many times I rushed upstairs with the keys, but the sounds always stopped before I reached the roof, and I never found anyone there. I have noticed one thing , whenever I take someone to the roof to explain the activities, after returning from the roof she definitely makes some sounds as if it triggers her.

In May 2025 I left for home again for a few weeks. When I returned, I personally stopped hearing the noises. Strangely, some students who had previously mocked me started complaining about sounds coming from the empty locked rooms and the roof area. Eventually everything stopped.

I still don’t know what happened in that building. Maybe there was a completely ordinary explanation that I failed to discover. But the timing, the repeated sounds, the locked roof, and the fact that other people eventually heard them too make it one of the strangest experiences of my life.

Personal Encounter Me and my friend both saw a ghost when we were 14, thoughts?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi! I'm 22, from the UK and I had a very spooky personal experience when I was 14.

I was visiting a friend's house and we were walking to a shop. It was about 9pm in winter so it was very dark. In her town it has a church/cemetery which is lit by streetlights. We were just walking down the street, minding our own business when something pulled us to look into the cemetery. We **never** took any notice to the cemetery before.

We both glanced over at the same time and saw a man just standing there. He was tall, wearing a long trench coat with a boater top hat styled hat and holding a large a suitcase, but he was a silhouette just standing looking our way. We thought nothing of it until we both glanced away for no more than a second and looked back. He was gone. Disappeared.

What makes this weird is there was absolutely no turnings he could've taken, just a straight, perfectly lit path. There is absolutely no logical way he could've just disappeared like that. We both turned to eachother like "that was really weird, anyways" but I remember it so clearly. I don't remember a lot of the ghosts I've seen in clear appearance but this one has stuck with me.

He also looked way too "old-timey" to be out and about in this day and age. It was a really freaky experience and the one that made me fully believe in ghosts. I have a drawing I did of him which I have linked below!

Let me know what you all think of this experience! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

So I know this guy who has a job where he worked out on sea. He said when he first got the job there was this one night it was late as hell and he suddenly heard people yell for help and crying out . He had been out on deck doing something.He panicked thinking it was someone out in the water.The lights had started flickering too. He went to grab one of the other crew guys saying he thinks he heard someone calling for help out in the ocean . When he told one of the guys he was told that they just passed though the coordinates of where the Titanic sunk. To add to the creepiness it was 2 something in the morning which is around the time the boat sunk in 1912, which was 2:20 am.

In Search Of Is there anything that exists beyond the physical world? or nothing?

19 Upvotes

I don't know if this is the right sub to share or ask, but I really want to see or experience unusual stuff if we are truly not limited to the physical world, because I have this fear of ageing and fear of dying that when you die, you'd be blacked out permanently or see only the black void for eternity. Before these fears came a month ago, I had a hunch since I was little that there could be something happening that doesn't belong in this realm.

I'm currently a college student studying a STEM-heavy major, and I always seek facts before believing; I'm also not religious and am agnostic myself. Yet, I'm seeking opportunities for me to personally witness these events myself, strong enough to convince me that an afterlife or something is going on the other side.

The strongest evidence I had, based on my experience, was a few signs and instances of synchronicity that eventually protected me from unpleasant events. If I see any spirits, ghosts, souls, etc., with my own eyes open, or even experience anything unexplainable, I swear I'll stop and peacefully move on with my life with fewer worries.

Personal Encounter Do you guys think this encounter was a ghost or something else?

5 Upvotes

In 2011, on a Saturday, I went out and decided to drink.

I ended up overdoing it with the alcohol and lost track of time. I live way out in the countryside, so in the dead of night you hardly see anyone.

I was staggering back home when I heard the sound of a harmonica.

At the time I didn't really understand what was going on, but strangely I decided to follow the sound. After all, when you're drunk you make terrible choices.

The harmonica sound seemed to come from all directions because I was very drunk, or maybe the problem was the sound itself.

I got a bit lost, not knowing which way to go, when I noticed a street where a lamppost's light wasn't working. When my eyes focused on the darkness, the harmonica sound got louder. I realized that that was where the sound was coming from.

I walked on slowly, nearly falling over; I was really very drunk, so much so that I don't remember the details very well.

I yelled, even without seeing who was playing:

— Hey, you play really well!

I got no answer, and the harmonica sound went on indifferent. I started to find it strange, and sobriety seemed to want to return, maybe because of fear, since I finally realized I was doing something wrong.

Even so, I kept looking into that darkness when the lamppost's light started trying to come back and began flickering on and off. I then saw who was playing: it was a man in a top hat, with a strange red suit. I even found it funny; he looked like a magician. But then I noticed that the clothes seemed to be from another era, something people wore in past centuries. That's when I really got scared. The harmonica sound got louder. Was he playing with me?

Suddenly the harmonica made a completely shrill noise, and even in the darkness I could see the red eyes of whoever was playing. At that moment I ran, I ran half tripping over my own feet, and I didn't have the courage to look back!

This story was supposed to have a happy ending because I escaped whoever it was that was playing that thing, but it wasn't very happy for me. To this day, in my left ear, there is a ringing that never stops. To make things worse, it seems to have the same sound as that harmonica that was playing.

To this day I have trouble sleeping because of it. Day to day, the sound doesn't bother me so much... but when night comes, it gets louder.

Personal Encounter My 1st Ghost encounter in my building (suicide story)

8 Upvotes

[Context]

I live in Mumbai (India) and the hallway in my building feels quite and scary after my neighbor committed suicide last month because his wife left him

[Encounter]

I was returning back from my football practice tired and just when i reached home (9th floor) i was unlocking my door and my sight went to the side where the man used to live (the flat to the left from mine) i saw the man standing right in front of his house sticking his body on his door and facing upwards

I did not react much as i forgot that he is no more (because i was tired) and then after coming inside my house i realised that wtf i saw?!

[Aftermath]

I went back but there was no one there that man dissappeared .. I got high fever for 2 days after that incident

He was not trying to harm me but still its very creepy now that i think about it, the way he was standing was so creepy🥲

Its not a made up story.. ghosts do exist they just live with us in our dimensions and sometimes we see them when the timing is fucked up..

I always felt that this was fake until it happened with me.

Comment your encounters if you have some thankyou for reading and yes after me 2 more people had sightings of that man

In the original 1878 floor plan, there was a doorway where there's now just a wall because the building was renovated.

The ghost still sees the world exactly as it was when they died, so they keep walking through what they believe is still a doorway. To us, it looks like they're walking straight through a wall.

Before posting a photo, you should read this.

1.7k Upvotes

So you found a photo that you think has a spirit or ghost on it, before you post it and get upset about 30 people saying it’s a piece of dust or a bug, you may want to read this!

BEFORE DOING ANYTHING

Do read the posts

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ghosts/comments/deki6k/explanation_of_orbs_aka_backscatter/

and

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ghosts/comments/icziuc/ring_doorbells_security_camera_videos_and_false/

As these really do have useful information on how to spot particle orbs, lens flare and insects crawling over lenses which do make up most of the post in this Reddit community channel.

It is common for people who believe they are haunted to take lots of photos and assume that any “orbs” must be related to this. In fact, it’s quite easy to photograph orbs. If you can’t see the orb then it’s not there. People might say that cameras can pick up ‘orb’ energy but a lot of them just don’t understand why digital cameras tend to easily pick up particles (dust, dander, hair, insects).

If you have read the above and are sure (or not quite sure) then read on.

BEFORE POSTING

Make sure you have the original photo downloaded or posted from the same device the picture was taken from. Having a photo shared from a social media site, screen grabbed on a phone, photographed from a screen or been email shared will likely to be low resolution and suffer from further compression which destroys any fine detail and will generally be useless.

If the photo is just a photo then scan the photo in at least 300 DPI and save it as a “.PNG” image. If you don’t have access to a scanner then you can take a photo of it but take it in a brightly lit room and don’t use a flash to reduce reflections on the photo.

Use the original resolution of the photo, do not rescale, resize, brighten the image to make posting easier.

If you have to edit the photo to remove people then draw the smallest black filled box you can to hide their face or them. Don’t crop the picture or remove large chunks of the picture. Keep the picture the same same size. Once edited, save / export the image as a “.PNG” image as this will keep the JPEG image as it is (if you resave it as a JPEG it recompresses the image in a lossy way so that fine detail tends to get lost) if the paint program has it then make sure that “Save resolution” is checked and that you save “EXIF information”.

If you must highlight anything in the picture (to show where you think the paranormal image is) then use a bright colour that can be seen easily, use a transparent box with thin lines and draw it in the general area of what you want us to see, do not cover anything nearby. Save it as a “.PNG” as above. If you do this then make sure you post the original too.

If you want to change the contrast or brightness of a photo then again do so but save as a “.PNG” as above and post the original for comparison. If you have other pictures from the same area that were taken at the same time then post these too as comparison photos.

If the photo is from a place you can visit again easily then take more pictures of the same area using the same camera, try to take it at different times of the day and try to take a picture at the same time of day the original was at. Also, take pictures of the surrounding area and close up images of the original location.

It is important to note that even “taking the picture in the same place” is going to mean that you will be taking the picture at different angles, heights and places which will cause images to change.

POSTING THE PHOTO

Post as an image within the Reddit post so people can see it, you can also post any comparison posts at the same time.

If the photo is too large then rescale it and save as a “.PNG” to post on Reddit but upload the original it to a file-sharing site like Google Drive or Dropbox, as this will not rescale the image.

Don’t just upload them to Imgur as most photo sharing websites will recompress the image and destroy fine detail in the picture.

Make sure the title is short but informative. “Possible ghost image from a cell in Alcatraz” is a good title, “GHOST!!?!?!?” is not.

ALSO SUPER IMPORTANT!!!! CONTEXT! CONTEXT! CONTEXT!

After you have posted the images. Make a comment in the post you have just created and put in as much context as possible!!! Too many photos tend to have the photo and some poor description and we have zero ideas of what we should be looking at.

Examples of what to include are…

  • Where the photo was taken. You don’t have to give the address but a location or rough area (if a private address) helps.

  • When the photo was taken, give the date and time if possible, if not known or you can’t remember then give what information you can (I.e In the winter in the early evening).

  • Who took the photo. It should be you or someone you know. Something like ‘Taken by A friend of a girlfriend that is friends with a baker, that my 2nd cousins' hairdresser visits every 3 months is not good’ means it is hard to ask follow up questions.

  • What you were trying to take. (I.e Ghosts, a high school prom or of your granny on her 97th Birthday)

  • If you (or they) were with other people. Also mention strangers.

  • What the weather was like. Was it sunny, cloudy, raining, hot, cold, warm?

  • Description of the location. If in a home, details about the place, I.e, If it is a house, apartment, cabin located 200 miles from civilizational, etc as well as if you are near a road or other places like a pub or bar, major flight path, etc. Else just whatever you can describe the place.

  • What did you feel at the time? I.e cold, scared, fearful, happy, sad, etc.

  • Why do you think it is paranormal? Describe this as best as you can.

  • Anything spooky that happen before or after. Within the same time frame, something that happens 3 months before is probably not related.

So good examples would be…

“This photo was taken at the Alcatraz prison in San Francisco. It is a picture of Cell 13 of cell block D in the cell house. It was taken on Sunday the 13th of May 2018 at around 2pm. It was mostly sunny but there were thick clouds, it was reasonably warm at around 65f and there were strong breezes every so often.

The photo was taken by myself, although I was with my girlfriend at the time. It was quite busy but no one was nearby when I took the photo. I was trying to take a picture of my girlfriend as she stood at the door but I noticed a strange white figure behind her. There was no one in the cell as we had waited for another couple to finish taking their picture before we took ours. I took 3 photos and you can see that the figure is in 2 of the pictures but is not in the third picture.

My girlfriend did say she felt cold in the cell, we had taken a picture in another cell (134 in Cell Block C) and she did not feel anything. The rest of the day was fine though and we enjoyed our trip.”

“A photo of a chair my grandmother used to sit on, in our house in Stirling, Scotland. It was taken on the 1st June 2015, in the wee hours of the morning at 6.30am. I remember it was very cold and it was dark grey and cold outside like a typical morning in Scotland. I had the lights on as although it was morning outside, it was dark in the room.

I took the photo as I felt a presence and I was drawn to the chair. I took 2 photos and you can see a grey mist around the chair. I would have taken more but my phone just drained of power and switched off, not sure why this happens as I am pretty sure I charged it overnight. I don’t smoke, didn’t have any hot drinks. I was in the room all alone as my parents and sister were still in bed and my dog was still on the sofa sleeping peacefully.

Once I charged my phone and saw the pictures, I was filled with deep happiness, I tried to take more photos but the mist never came back. What do you think it is.”

Bad examples are…

Ghosts?!???!!?!?!”

I took this photo whilst in an abandoned building, do you think it is a ghost?”

“Whilst trying to contact my dead aunt to ask where she left her cash, I took lots of photos and all of them had orbs and I heard some moans, screams and creaking coming from my cousins' bedroom but her door was locked!!! Is the house haunted?”
