A quick update on the flat that we live in, I’ve mentioned it a couple of times before, an old converted building, originally 11-13th century we’re not quite sure.
I think our lady has finally gotten used to us being here, there’s not been many goings on recently, but we did re-home a puppy mid January (his previous owners bought him for Christmas then wanted to get rid of him
). The first month or so of having him he would run wild and bark a lot so I’d constantly be telling him to calm down, on a few occasions though he would be going mental then suddenly stop, look into the kitchen doorway and sit down, then slink away onto the sofa as if he’d just been told off 
This happened a few times so I think our lady wasn’t happy with his antics and was giving him a talking to!

Why am I reading this thread at night on my own?! 
[/QUOTE]I experience, what I think of as ‘energy’ from inanimate’ objects. Like you, I love a browse around antiques and vintages fairs and enjoy nothing better than a good charity shop. It is hard to explain the feelings, I don’t even know how to put it into words to explain it, as it’s not a black and white experience, it’s not like saying something is happy, sad, good or bad. I wish I understood it. But I wholeheartedly believe that objects absorb the energy from their surroundings.
I’ll try and give an example. My sister once brought me the most unusual looking, quirky small jug for my birthday, which she’d purchased from an online auction website, it matched the decor in my living room perfectly. Over the next few days, every time I went into my living room, it felt uneasy, the atmosphere was awkward and disjointed. It took a few more days before I realised that it was the jug. Sounding like the mad old bat I am, I took the jug down, said to it I knew it wasn’t happy and was going to move it somewhere else and hoped it would like it there. I popped it onto my kitchen shelf, along side bobble head Jesus and my many overseas mementos and it’s been fine every since, in fact I haven’t felt any thing from it since, so I am assuming it likes where it is now and the living room was back to normal as soon as the jug was moved!
I understand to some, this will make me sound batsh*t cr*zy, maybe I am, I don’t normally talk to my ornaments, only my 4ft pink gnome in the hallway called Darren, because if I don’t say good morning or goodnight to him he looks sad
I’m sorry you experience it so violently that must be scary xx
This is why I’ve always had a thing against charity shop clothes
and also giving my stuff to charity shops, I don’t like the thought that my energies are out there living in other peoples houses
I started to watch this last night. Watched the first episode very interesting. I'll do the second half when I get a chance.
If anyone is interested in the work of the Warrens you may enjoy 28 Days Haunted on Netflix. They put three groups of psychics, investigators, demonologists etc etc into 3 haunted properties and they have to stay there for 28 days. It's to help prove a theory the Warrens had.
I always think with those kind of programmes if it's all staged the 'actors' involved must be incredible. I'm sure some of it is staged for dramatic reasons but some of it is very creepy.
I lived with my ex in a very old farmhouse we would feel cold spots things would move from where I put them it was a creepy old place .But I was after been out to my grandmother's house and was just home approx 9pm soon after I was in the sitting room and I just froze to the spot by the stove I got this feeling of sadness like someone had died and chills the colour drained from face I sat down chilled soon after we went to bed about 11.30 the dog was barking so my ex got up to see what he was at 3 masked men were half in the back door I ran up to the sitting room to the commotion and there right where I had froze earlier was my ex getting beat with a golf stick by one of the guys he had to be hospitalised but was ok it was strange .Another time I was about 8 I was staying in my aunty's house I remember getting up to go to the toilet and as I was about to turn around in the bathroom mirror I seen a someone in a cloak with his head down in the mirror it always stuck with me then last week I had the most strangest dream I seen the person in the cloak at the bottom of my bed wouldn't look at me just kept his head down and had a silver thing in their hand I was shouting what do you want no answer.I see repetitive numbers daily if I am in places I get vibrations and feel emotions of the place it's odd to describe .I see shadows and mist and things from the corner of my eye ,the lights in my current house flicker despite having the electrics checked and my dogs act strangely 2 days ago one of my dogs was in the kitchen I was given him some treats he went nuts looking beside me all his fluff went up and he got very aggressive and my other dogs stare and sniff up in the air like there's someone there .My current partner who would be skeptical seen a shadow figure behind me , a pair of scissors that was on the table started spinning by themselves he seen it with his own eyes .I constantly feel like I'm being watched the Alexa comes on by itself and my brothers girlfriend stayed she said she was uneasy she thought she seen something in the bathroom.When my uncle was passing in hospital we were all called to go to him I wasn't long driving at the time the car wouldn't start he passed shortly after so I never got to see him awhile after the car started perfect no issue at all .
I think you are definitely a psychic or medium or spirituality sensitive, whatever is the correct term for it? You have the gift I think.
Similar things have happened to me , but not on that scale and I'm sure I'm not that perceptive or developed (although I think I too have the gift a bit, for what it's worth?)
Occasionally I have seen people's auras or seen things out of the corner of my eye, or been aware of a presence (I think our house is a bit haunted as well tbh) strange things going on, a bit like we have a poltergeist?
Although I don't get any very bad feeling just that maybe their is a spirit here that's a bit troubled (a man did commit suicide in the flat so maybe that's why, of course I found that out after we moved in!).
The part that intrigued me about your post was seeing the cloaked figure, I also saw one in the previous flat we lived in
I've written about this before but it also stood at the end of my bed, after I woke up once in the middle of the night and approached me...strangely enough I wasn't scared (maybe because most of my family are intuitive people and I grew up around ghost stories and tales of the paranormal) anyway....I said to the figure I'm not scared of you ...and they came close to me, leaned over and pressed their hands over my chest/heart area and (I can't explain it properly) but it was as if their hands emitted a strong current of golden light and it was sent to my body ...and then they disappeared.
The thing is I was born with a heart murmur which later turned out to be much more serious (but I didn't know it back then) and I later had open heart surgery.
So make of that what you will? A warning, a reprieve, protection? Or all of the above but yes the figure was very similar to the grim reaper/or could have been an old crone/witch I was never sure because I never saw their face, but still I was sanguine, I accept such things.
It's like their is a kind of spiritual frequency and maybe it's on a spectrum and maybe some people are just naturally more in tune with it or connected and others can learn to develop it if they wish?
That's what I think anyway (for what it's worth)
Thanks for sharing your experience it's very interesting and I'm sure some others probably have more insight but I just thought I'd share my experience.
Thank you for sharing since a young age I have experienced strange happenings.I definitely reckon you were being guided protected .The cloaked figure I seen when I was a child ' haunted ' me so to speak I never forgot about it and when it reappeared in my dream at my bed I was scared to a degree because it wouldn't answer or look at me to be honest I was abit apprehensive going to sleep the next night .I think you are definitely a psychic or medium or spirituality sensitive, whatever is the correct term for it? You have the gift I think.

I feel that the car and the experience of sheer terror in the sitting room were warnings or foretelling me something was about to happen .I also have great intuition with people and what they are about I prefer animals to people I am very passionate about animals .The shadows auras and the feeling of a presence or being watched definitely sound like you are in tune with the spiritual side .I also get really vivid dreams where I'm actually talking to my grandmother that has passed and I remember everything we talked about .My house definitely has something lurking lol as so many things happen but it's kind of the norm for us now .
I have also seen hooded figure several times. The first time I woke up through the night and had mirrored wardrobe doors. I could see it hovering slightly above the bed in the mirror. The second time is ran into a room switched the light on and it was there before disappearing. My grandmother is very sensitive to the paranormal and has seen loads of things over the years and had visits from different spirits. She also used to see a hooded figure but usually before something bad happened whereas when Iv seen it nothing has happened it’s almost as if it’s just showing itself then going?
Not really a ghost story, but I was thinking about this thread whilst there. I walked through a graveyard today wirh my 4.5 year old and 14 month old boys. I explained to my eldest that grave stones mark where someone is buried and the writing is their name and when they died. He went round looking at all the stones and was loving hearing their names and how old they were and stuff like that. I wondered if the spirits of anyone there could hear us - I know I would love to have seen the sweet innocence of a child about death and see/hear a child talking like he was today. We were respectful, he was picking dandelions and daisies and laying them on some of the plots. This evening he asked if we can go back another day and see some more stones.
Though This afternoon he laid on the floor and tried to get his brother to sit on his back. I asked what he was doing and he said “I’m the dead human in the ground and my brother is the stone with my name on”
it did make me chuckle but goodness kno s what nursery will think if he plays that game there tomorrow

I love to read this thread! I don’t think I’ve shared my experience on here before, I had an advert pop up completely out of the blue for the hotel which got me thinking again!
It must of been about 10/11 years ago now when my husband and I took a trip to Amsterdam, booked into at the time a newly refurbished hotel,location was great-nothing that stood out just looked pretty grand from the outside.
It wasn’t until the day we left we discovered we had just been staying in a converted hospital, commonly used during the war, and it made a little more sense. The layout of the rooms as we stepped out of the lift were very regimented, the room itself nothing outstanding. During the first night we had the tv turn on randomly, there was no mains switch access for us to turn it off and the remote wouldn’t work despite working fine that evening. Same thing again second night. The third day we left our room, walked down the corridor toward the lift and both stepped out of the way for what sounded like quick pace footsteps coming up behind us. There was absolutely no one there and we both looked at each other and just gave a look
we’re both sceptic but that definitely made the hairs stand up.

So my grandmother's sister passed away nearly 2 years ago suddenly. I always liked her when she was alive. Something weird has started happening over the past nine months and it's beginning to freak me out.
Last September was the first time it happened and was close to her anniversary. I woke up at 3am in the morning to a friend request on Facebook from her. The page had no other friends and had a picture of her.
The second time it happened was the night I got my son back from the NICU and we were both in hospital still. Again it was 2am. The third time was last night. I woke up at 1.15am to feed my son and had a notification on my phone saying she had requested me as a friend.
Each page is a new page, the same profile picture and no other friends.
I'm kinda freaking out now being honest. Like is she trying to communicate with me in some way? (I don't want to communicate I find it terrifying)
Is she trying to warn me of something?
Like surely 3 times is really weird?
Any thoughts anyone?

some might say she’s reaching out at a time of need.
is there anyone you know who is cruel enough to play a trick on you?
My question is, was the lady in question a Facebook user in her lifetime? If so her original account may have been hacked by bots and such, at the minute i’m getting new friend requests from actual friends who have been hacked. But not 3 times over… However, if she was not a facebook user, then this is freaky!!
So a few weeks ago my dad was out one evening walking the dog when he walked past a nurse in the street who (in his words) gave him the warmest smile and he thought what a lovely lassie. Anyway he goes home and tells my mum about the encounter and describes her and her uniform and my mum replies with saying she thinks he's seen a ghost. Turns out it was an old fashioned, like from the 50s/60s district nursing uniform she was wearing. Anyway fast forward a few days and my dad's ends up having numbness down one side of his body and the doctor sends him to hospital to check if he's had a mini stroke only for us to find out he has a brain aneurysm!
I've almost finished reading this thread and just remembered something that happened last year. My dad died last September and we didn't have a funeral or anything, I did go to see him in the chapel of rest and it felt so calm and soothing.
Anyway, one night a couple of months later, I'd been talking to one of my adult children on the phone and they had been telling me some awful things that had recently happened to them, it really upset me and after the call ended, I went up to bed. I opened the bedroom door and my dog looked around the room as though he could see someone and I felt a whoosh of anger and rage go past me. It felt cold too, I knew that was dad being angry.
I have my dad's iphone, he had got the latest one so I sold my old phone. The battery kept draining on it and I tried everything in the settlings. One night I dreamt I was with dad, he had gone back to the garage that I'd sold his car to, and took it back and I asked him if he ever dropped his phone as the battery was draining so much.
There's been a few more things but the most recent was the theme tune to his favourite film coming on the radio, which is quite strange as it's so random and not something that would usually be played. I had recently purchased the dvd so maybe it was some sort of thanks for us all being able to watch it again.
I feel he's still here in some way communicating with me, and I like to think that he's giving me signs that he's ok. My aunt has told me to go and see a medium but I feel that will be intruding on dad and to leave him be. We've just moved house and I think dad had a unique idea for a housewarming present, the same thing happened to another poster on this thread which has confirmed it for me. I know dad wouldn't intentionally do anything that would spook me, I have occasionally heard his voice when I've just been waking up and it's not my imagination, I just wouldn't have been able to imagine the things he's said.
Also going back to the dog, we stayed at my parents house for a while and the dog kept wagging his tail and going over to dad's side of the bed when the room was empty.

My mother in law passed a year ago and she felt she was very in tune with the ghostly side of things, often remarked on sensing a presence in a place, etc. But she didn't like that she could sense things and didn't want to know. I wonder if that's why we haven't had any signs since she passed, that stuff scared her.
I could never take parts in seances etc, the mere thought of communicating directly freaks me put, I don't think I could bear it. I'm not very religious now but was brought up to be and I'm already afraid of accidentally summoning a d emon or nefarious entity instead. I don't think my mind could take it. I'm one of those that clamps eyes shut in bed once the light is off. I don't like looking in the dark if you know what I mean.

I posted on here a while ago about my workplace (then kinda stopped reading tattle etc) but now I work somewhere else and there’s been no activity at all!
I’ve been listening to the uncanny podcast which I highly recommend!

We have a Dyson floor standing fan in our bedroom which lives against the wall opposite the end of our bed. The fan is operated by a small remote control, and when not in use, it sits on top of the fan with a built in magnet keeping it in place. We've had the fan for about four years, and only use it if there's a heatwave.
My husband and the dog always go to bed really early, and a couple of weeks ago, when I went to bed a couple of hours later, I noticed the fan was on. My husband woke up, and asked if I'd put it on, and I said no, but I'd assumed he had. We switched the fan off thinking it was a bit strange, but didn't really think anything more about it.
Anyway, last night I was watching tv in bed, and husband and dog had got up as he was hungry - they were in the lounge. After I'd been in bed for about an hour watching Aftersun, I suddenly heard the fan come on!
