Stories about the paranormal and strange creatures with a claim to veracity, recently told by users of the American site Reddit.
Bloody Mary
Stories about Bloody Mary have been known since at least the 19th century and are mainly considered a youth horror story. It is believed that if you say "Bloody Mary" three times, standing in a dark room in front of a mirror, then you will see her ghost. Further, this ghost can attack you or simply frighten you, depending on the version of the legend.
I realize that the Bloody Mary stories are just a typical urban legend, perpetuated by several generations, but I had my own strange experience about it when I was younger.
My brother and I were desperate to see some kind of paranormal activity, and we both decided that the easiest way was to summon Bloody Mary. We went into the bathroom, locked the doors and then said "Bloody Mary" three times. We waited and nothing happened, so we said it again.
After about the eighth or ninth invocation, we suddenly heard sad and desperate sobs, as if a woman were crying. The sound was coming from behind the shower curtain and sounded like someone had gone through a painful loss.
We looked at each other and then my brother pushed me against the curtain, I ripped it off and there was no one behind it. The sound of crying stopped the moment I got very close to the curtain.
I used to think that maybe it was my brother who made fun of me with the help of the sounds recorded earlier, but I do not know how he could create it, because in those years there were no smartphones or portable speakers.
Creeping black shadow
It happened about 3 or 4 years ago, but I still remember all the details, it scared me so much.
My 9-year-old brother and I once decided to sleep on mattresses in the living room, but then he changed his mind and went to sleep in his bedroom. I stayed to sleep in the living room, but still could not fall asleep. And from the living room through a wide passageway one could see the dining room, where there were heaps of baskets with freshly washed linen.
I turned and now looked towards the dining room, directly at these baskets. And I saw a black shadow slowly crawling on all fours from one basket to another. It happened somewhere at 1-2 in the morning and everyone in the house was already fast asleep.
I was scared to death by what I saw and was able to fall asleep only at about 5 o'clock in the morning. I have no idea what it was, but I was too scared to go and check if there really was something in the basket.
Human hand on a simulator
When I was a child, I often slept with my parents in their bed, like many children. One night I slept with them again, but then suddenly I woke up and looked into the corner where my father's exercise bike was. And I saw that something was moving behind him, it was a human hand.
Out of fear, I hid under the covers and lay there until I fell asleep. However, this hand appeared on the following nights, again and again. I don’t remember how long it lasted.
I remember how one night I tried to convince myself to get up, go to the corner and touch that hand. but could not overcome my fear. It seems that the hand was changing from a man's to a woman's every night.
One night I woke up and when I looked in the corner I didn't see a hand there, but then I rolled over to the other side and saw this hand right between the bed frame and my mattress. She was standing right in front of my face!
I staggered back in fear and hid again under the covers until I fell asleep. I kept this experience to myself, not telling anyone, until years later one day I decided to tell my father about it. And he told me that when he himself was my age, he also saw such a hand.
Imaginary friend
When I was a kid, I had a so-called imaginary friend named Mister Nobody. He was a very thin man, but short, a meter and a half in height. He didn't have a face, just a very white spot with shadows around his eyes, nose and mouth.
He was wearing a suit and a hat, while I had never seen him, but I knew exactly how he looked and how he was dressed. I just knew it. Knew he was there when he entered the room. I had this feeling.
I never remember feeling threatened by him, but neither were we friends. He did things that were unpleasant to me, such as knocking over my glass or hiding my important things. When my mom asked who did it, I said it was Mister Nobody, and she thought it was just an excuse not to tell the truth.
Gradually, I kind of stopped feeling it, and then I moved to another room and nothing else strange happened to me. I don't remember many details because it was very early in my childhood.
The more my parents and I did not talk about him, we all thought that it was just a game of imagination and that it was normal for the child.
However, later, when my younger brother was born and one day he was scolded for something, he said that "Mr. Nobody" did it. And at that time he lived in the room that used to be my room.
We didn’t tell him anything about Mister Nobody, so I remember that this incident really scared my parents.
My daughter is by the bed
I have three children and two of them suffer from autism syndrome, it is very difficult. A few weeks ago, I was sleeping with my wife in our bed and woke up feeling that there was someone else in the room.
I opened my eyes and saw our middle child, a girl (with autism), standing on the side of my bed. She just stood there in front of me in her nightgown.
"Hey baby, are you okay?" I asked. But she didn't react. "Honey, are you all right?" I asked again. But again she just stood there and said nothing. "Sweetheart …", - began to speak again and at that moment I felt a chill creeping down my skin.
This happened because so far there have been no reactions at all from my daughter. However, once this happened to her, though a very long time ago, 8 years ago, so I do not take my eyes off her and still try to establish contact with her.
“Darling, do you want something?” I asked, and at this moment I myself am trying to stir my wife up with my hand and at the same time I am sweating, as I am very uncomfortable. I feel that my wife has moved and mumbled "What?", And I myself am still trying to reach my daughter, but to no avail.
And then my wife finally wakes up, turns on the bedside lamp, and says "How are you?" And at that moment our daughter disappeared into a thin haze … I swear to the Gods, almost wet himself from this.
It was further revealed that all our three children were sleeping peacefully in their beds. In this house, by the way, several strange things happened to me before, but this incident was as real as the phone from which I am typing this post.
