Story 1
My maternal family are Irish Gypsy travelers and from a young age my Great Nan used to put her finger to my head and told my mum that I had the third eye. It used to really scare me.
For as long as I can remember there have always been different presences that I could feel - less so hear and see particularly in my childhood home. My mum definitely has a negative presence that has followed her around from quite young and my sisters and I were terrorized as children by this presence.

We all talk about it now as adults and are often in disbelief. By the time we got to our late teens it got less and less. But would always catch us off guard when we weren't prepared for it.
I've never really spoken to people about it and not my kids. But my oldest son always used to tell me about things that happened when he slept over at my mum's house which was similar to when I lived there.
Objects moving and then finding them in random places, banging that sounded like it was coming from the centre of the house with no explanation for it, weird smells sometimes foul sometimes sweet, shadows, nightmares, rage, anger, sadness, unable to get into bedrooms as the doors would 'stick' but then open a moment later, cold spots and weird events.
We had a house fire that wasn't able to be explained. When my son would say what he saw I would explain it away. My son went on his first holiday with his girlfriend and said that the house they stayed in felt funny. He said that when he went into the bedroom it felt horrible and his girlfriend said it was a weird feeling.
The first night they went to sleep but woke up regularly throughout the night and he said that he opened his eyes to look towards the window when a darkness kept surrounding them to the point he couldn't see the window anymore.
He said he immediately tackled it and told the presence to leave him and his girlfriend alone. He said he protected them and I said how, he said with a white light, he just knew how to do it. My younger son said Oh yeah I do this all the time as well as I feel things all the time.
I was absolutely floored as I do this too, but have never shared this with anyone. It's more like an intuitive thing and certainly I've never discussed it anymore just in case they thought I was crazy. However, we all seem to do the same thing, so perhaps my Great Nan was correct.
Story 2
Years ago after I got married, my mom ,stepdad and sister bought a used mobile home and moved it to a trailer park,my husband loved to fish and he and his cousin would go on overnight fishing trips and I would go and spend the night with my parents.
I would sleep on the couch in the living room, I have trouble sleeping in a different place so I would toss and turn for a while but I noticed that they were a scratching noise coming from the kitchen area near the kitchen table.
I just figured it was a mouse and didn’t think any more about it but I started noticing that every time I spent the night with them I would always hear the scratching noise, I checked every where for a mouse or anything that could make the noise but never saw anything.
My mom always kept a light on at night and usually it was the one over the kitchen table so I should have seen what ever it was, my younger sister would have a cousin to stay with them a lot and she and the cousin would sleep in my sisters bunk beds with her in the bottom bunk.
She said one night she woke up and and she had a weird feeling, the kitchen light was on, she looks up at her cousin and she said that they were a dark shadow thing at the bottom of the top bunk like it was looking at the cousin she screamed for mom and it disappeared.
I am not sure what happened after that but she never slept in that room again, my stepdad had to sleep in the bunk while my sister slept with mom until she got married, but before she got married she had a little cat and it was the only pet she ever had there besides fish but the cat would never go into the bathroom.
She would go to the door look in the bathroom and hiss , after my sister got married her husband and she bought some land with a house on it and my mom and stepdad bought a new mobile home and moved to my sisters property sold the old mobile home to the owner of the trailer park, we never did know what it was that going on but I still think about the weird things that happened there.
Story 3
I don't quite remember what age I started seeing spirits but I keep it to myself even from my family because people call me crazy. But anyway, I used to live in the projects and it was a dangerous neighborhood, one day I came home from the store with my son, cousin and his wife.
When I got out of the vehicle it was a young man standing in the road across my apartment and I said good morning and he spoke back. When we went inside I told my son to go in his room and play but for some reason he didn't want to, which was strange because he likes to play and jump in his bed.
So they were in the living room and I was in the kitchen cooking. All of sudden I heard a Draco and ran and snatched my son off the couch and laid on top of him. After 30 shots I heard screaming and I opened my door and the child was laying in my bushes gasping for air still clutching his cell phone riddled with bullets, I called 911. He didn't make it.
Fast forward, one night I was in my kitchen washing dishes and I heard a male yelling in my ear. I tried to envision a door closing because I wasn't ready for that only because my PTSD was so bad at the time. When I went in my room to lay down my door was cracked just a little bit.
I was watching TV and I felt like somebody was watching me so I turn my attention to my door. And as I was looking at the door I saw some eyes looking at me and I thought it was my daughter and I called her name and said come here why are you standing there?
But when I didn't get any response I looked down. I noticed that the same clothes that he died in that day, that was what he was wearing. So I politely said I'm sorry what happened to you but you can't stay here you have to move on. After that I didn't see him anymore.
Story 4
Hi, everyone, I want to share my experience with you all. I am from India.
It all started when I was 9/10 years. No one would hear weird noises except me.
One such night, after having dinner we all (elders and cousins) were watching tv and suddenly I started getting feelings like as if someone is walking at our backyard. Backyard was after kitchen and there was a door after kitchen then one room and then backyard door.
So, as i was hearing those footsteps, I told my aunt about it but she didn't believed. Soon after 5 minutes someone pushed the door so loudly that door broke opened and mind you, not the backyard door but kitchen door (Not the last door but second last door) while the backyard door was still closed. No one knows how it opened. (This incident made everyone to believe on whatever I was experiencing.)
Another incident, I heard a kid voice clearly crying and calling for Mumma (I couldn't open the door as I got scared).
One more experience, Once, it was midnight and my cousin was sleeping next to me, I started feeling as if someone is pulling my cousin down. I woke up from the sleep and I started peeping out from the bedsheet to see whose there but couldn't find anyone, but I saw my cousin was reached near my knees.
I felt she is in danger. All I could do was scream loudly so that everyone could wake up. And everyone woke up and she was really sleeping next to my knee. Though she didn't remember anything as she was in deep sleep and all she kept asking me was what was happening with me? You saw anyone.?
All such screams, footstep noises I stopped getting to hear after I got my first period. To tell you frankly, those screams, footsteps noise were so loud that I used to close my ears tightly.
