There’s quite a few of these reported. A pair of scientists came out to say this happened to them at Versailles!

Wow, I’ve had this thread open on my phone for weeks reading everyone’s stories when I’ve had some time spare (and it’s daylight!), some really amazing stories. Some made me cry, others just downright scary.
I’ve had a few experiences of my own. One of my exes was convinced my house is haunted, but never said why. I’ve never felt unsettled here, however there were a couple of things I’ve not been able to explain.
I was looking for the TV remote as a child, maybe about 12 or 13. I was home sick from school and it was only me in the house, I couldn’t find the remote anywhere. I turfed the living room upside down, took the cushions off the sofas, nothing. I gave up and went to my room for a while, and when I came back down, the remote was on the sofa where I had been sitting. Even though I’d completely taken everything off it and no one else had been in the house.
When I was a bit older, maybe 16 or so, I had not long got into the house and I was in the kitchen, I bent down to take my shoes off. As I did, something tapped me on the top of the head. Again, no one else around. If there is something in my house, they’re mischievous for sure, probably a child
As I was falling asleep one night, I heard a young girl’s voice right in my ear saying “I’m still here you know”, I jolted upright. Properly freaked me out. Not sure if that’s anything paranormal or just my brain doing odd things as I was falling asleep. I haven’t experienced anything for a very long time, I’m 31 now and live in the same house.

I was in our local Asda toilets yesterday washing my hands and I swear something pulled me backwards 3 times by my hood. I looked back after the second and there was honestly no explanation, even though I could see behind me in the mirror anyway. The third time it happened I RAN 
So, this is the first time contributing to this thread after reading since day dot. I've loved reading everyone's stories and experiences. Sadly I have mine, resulting from losing my sister a few weeks ago. She passed away from cancer while I was travelling, we were told we would have longer than we did and she insisted I went and it kills me I didn't get to say bye. I was in part of the world where I couldn't connect to internet, only by WiFi and the whole trip I was ok. They Day she died I ssd frantic, everywhere trying to connect to WiFi and overwhelmed with a feeling of panic. There were butterflies everywhere where there hasn't been up to that point. A huge black cloud went over the clear blue sky and we went to a cafe, thinking it would rain.i connected to wifi and saw my mum had been calling to say she had died.
Since then, so much stuff has happened, so much. today I started crying and with that a song came on classic FM that was played at her funeral - a song that shouldn't be on classic FM. Each week I light a candle at the time she died. The candle goes crazy and the TV flickers. Lady week my dog started reacting like there was someone there and it was only me in the house. The candle I burn is the same candle we had burning in the room where she was waked. I get the smell in my house, that's fair enough, I have the same candle that I burn once a week but I have smelled it in my workplace and both my mum and I have woken in the night in my parents house being surrounded by the smell of the candle. The smell lingers and vanishes (I live in a different country to my parents and sister). When I was home for the funeral, I stayed up late watching TV and when I went to bed I could smell the candle in the hallway.
Then the dreams- I dreamed I got flowers for her memorial service- bird of paradise, she wouldn't have been keen on them to be honest, and then when her ashes came home her husband had bought a bunch of the same flowers for next to her urn, I dreamed I bought her a map of the world tea towel,so weird, and her son, my nephew, in Canada, was telling me there's a homeware shop in Canada that sold loads of stuff that she would have loved, and then they have weird stuff too..like map of the world tea towels...I hadn't said a word to him. So odd.
I need to add, I'm a scientist and will very much search for the reason behind certain things. I also appreciate that every never goes , that is a scientific certainty, so the energy that makes a person who they are can never ever be destroyed. My heart is broken but I take comfort in knowing ages still lurking around x

Sorry for your loss.
Thanks for sharing your stories, it's fascinating how smells can appear without explanation.
The music one struck me, we lost a family member on my husband's side last year and my husband was listening to random classical music (soothing music) on YouTube in the days/weeks after their passing. One piece kept getting recommended, a haunting but beautiful piece. He then kept searching that piece and relistening because it was a bit of an ear-worm by that point. When we got to the crematorium they play music in the waiting area before you go into the chapel. That piece played just as the hearse pulled up (we were waiting outside in order to follow after the undertakers). It wasn't our music selection, just a random selection played through the Audio system at the place. It was the timing that took our breath away, I looked at my husband and we both said afterwards that it was scary/but nice coincidence. I think it was likely a coincidence because the piece is commonly included in funeral playlists I am sure. But on the other hand the family member did believe in ghosts and so we wonder could it have been a sign? Nothing has happened since though, and we are coming up to a year soon. So I am still unsure, but the association with that piece is now permanent.
I still haven't seen visual proof of the supernatural myself, more just 'coincidences', but I do think there's more out there. Fascinating stuff.
What an amazing post. I love hearing things like this. With my mum, things always came through dreams. Hope you're doing ok and taking care of yourself xx
No offence but if I was a ghost, I’d like be haunting some big old mansion… I’d be fuming if I got stuck haunting Asda toiletsI was in our local Asda toilets yesterday washing my hands and I swear something pulled me backwards 3 times by my hood.

You definitely get some strange smells and unearthly experiences in our local one. They're disgusting! Well, that or the local 'spirits' who use them are.No offence but if I was a ghost, I’d like be haunting some big old mansion… I’d be fuming if I got stuck haunting Asda toilets
Just been reading all of these, so many spooky stories, I love it! Does anyone listen to the Uncanny podcast? There's a few good stories on that about time slips, it's fascinating.
My story is not a ghost story as such, but about bad energy type thing... I live in a small village & I like to walk through the churchyard, I find it a beautiful and peaceful place, all the old graves are beautifully cared for, EXCEPT then in one corner, hidden under some shrubs, there's a much newer grave from the 1990s for a man, that is not looked after, just overgrown and abandoned. I just found it one day a few years ago while looking at the plants or something. And I sort of want to know why, like who was he, why is he neglected, BUT I daren't look him up, I daren't tidy the grave, I also don't dare go take another look. It's so weird how that one tiny corner is a totally different atmosphere to just a metre away.

I’m so sorry for your loss but it sounds like she’s around. When I’m having particularly tough times I’ve smelt my grandmothers perfume clear as day right by me & my grandads smell (oddity I associate him with the smell of his wood shed & brylcream) & I immediately feel comforted.
She’s nearby just letting you know she loves you.

I really enjoy the uncanny podcast. Find it very interesting.
What sort of energy do you feel about this grave? Doom? Fear? Evil?
It's not evil, it's just like that feeling of 'you shouldn't be here'. A bit like somehow knowing that there must be a reason for why he's under the bushes, in a dark corner, and nobody has visited or tidied his grave. It's probably just that whoever knew him has moved or passed away but it's sad that even when all the old Victorian (and much older) graves are looked after, his one is not. And it doesn't feel right for me to do it. There are some others in the bushes too, but they're all really old and broken, his is the only new-ish one. Makes you wonder why they picked to put him there, and not across the road where all the other newer plots are. Maybe that's just me, but I always feel like there's so much life in a churchyard...
Would you feel able to share his name on here?
I also love cemeteries. I find them fascinating and strangely comforting.
I was in a very old one recently and you can still see dates on a lot of the headstones. I think it's amazing to see one from 1500's and think you were alive during Henry VIII's reign or 1600's and think you were here during the Civil War ...

Hmmm maybe, I might see if I will go and look at him again, and look him up, I won't share it if it turns out to be anyone dodgy.
I love this too, there are houses in my village as old as from the 1300s. I went inside one from 1500s once, it was gorgeous. So many stories in there.
There is an account on insta of a woman who visits old graves in the US and cleans them up. I’ll try to find it and share. Really nice to watch her make the headstones look nice again
I think I've seen her on Tik Tok.There is an account on insta of a woman who visits old graves in the US and cleans them up. I’ll try to find it and share. Really nice to watch her make the headstones look nice again
There's accounts on Tik Tok that go to cemeteries and look into the history of some of the gravestones. very interesting.
I would 100% say trust your gut instinct on this one. Bad energy is not to be taken lightly, if it doesn’t feel right then stay away x
