r/Ghoststories

I always thought it was just an old superstition. My gran used to say you should never leave a mirror facing an open window after dark, or it becomes a "trap." I never believed her until I started looking into the story of a student named Sophie who disappeared in the mountains years ago.

The details are haunting—scratch marks found on the inside of the glass, and witnesses claiming her reflection started moving on its own before she vanished. The weirdest part is that she genuinely looked like she was struggling against something inside the mirror.

Does anyone else's family have weird "rules" about household objects that they take deadly seriously? I'm starting to think these superstitions exist for a reason.

So, I have a story that I still think about occasionally. I'm not a religious person at all and doubt anything exists "out there", but this experience gets me thinking sometimes, what could it possibly be.

So i was very little, maybe 6-7 at a time? I loved my Grandpa, he was my best friend and we did a lot of things together. But unfortunately, he unexpectedly passed. I wasn't old enough to understand what grief is, despite all the time we spent together, so when my mom delivered the news, I didn't feel anything specific and it didn't affect me.

But I saw how bad it affected my mother, as he was her only support at those times. Also I knew that my mom prayed sometimes, when thing's were going rough and that kind of stuff. So I tried praying and asking God (?) and my Grandpa to come see her one last time.

I asked him to dress up, be clean and good looking, not to say anything at all, but just sit down with my mom and hug and comfort her. I repeated "prayer" a few times and then forgot about it. Importantly, NO ONE has seen me or heard me, I was absolutely ALONE in the room and whispered those words.

Few (or even one) days passed and my mom came up to me and told me, that Grandpa visited her in a dream, all dressed up, cheerful and just hugged her saying nothing. So exactly what I asked him for!!!! I was really happy and told her that is because I prayed for that.

My mom then looked scared and asked me to never ever ask the dead ones for something. Since that time I haven't asked Grandpa for anything.

Growing up, sometimes I asked her If she wasn't lying, or maybe she was spying on me when I thought no one heard me. But anytime I asked, she swears she wasn't anywhere near me. She also passed this story through my family and other relatives and everyone was amazed every time.

What do you think? I really have two explanations, first is maybe she just wanted to keep it as "holy" story as a way to process the grief and she DID spy on me (but she really swears she didn't), or maybe there is something about connection with dead relatives, maybe it's even stronger when you're a child?

That's kinda it :D Let me know what you think and If maybe you had similar experiences

I was reading about the Enfield Poltergeist case online, and honestly it might be one of the craziest ghost stories I’ve ever seen. People said furniture moved on its own, strange voices came from one of the girls, and there were even claims of levitation. Whether it was real or fake, the story is wild.

So now I’m curious, what’s the craziest ghost story you know? It can be something famous from the internet, a local legend, or even something that happened to you or someone close to you.

What’s the one story that really made you stop and think maybe ghosts could be real?

Spooky experience( Need to know if anyone’s ever experienced this or something similar?). So about three years ago me and my ex-girlfriend were watching a movie around 3 AM. We finished the movie. And we’re laying in bed about to get ready for bed ,when I all of a sudden got a call from an unknown number so I answered the call and said “hello”. I could hear myself saying hello back like an echo ,so I sat there for a minute looked over at my girlfriend kind of confused then all of a sudden she got a call from an unknown number. When she answered the call she said hello. I heard her on my phone and she could hear me on her phone.It was like we were making a phone call to each other, but neither of us dialed the phone. This instantly sent chills through my body and today when I still talk about this experience I still get chills.I went to my phone provider the next day and asked if they’ve ever heard of anything like that ,and they said “no that’s super creepy”,”I don’t know what that could be”.

So this has happened to me and my friend twice already. The first time it happened I was just chatting with my friend on a sort of a beach but not kinda. And this happened in the evening/night (when it’s dark out). So we were just chatting there and we we’re interrupted by this sound as if somebody blew on a glass bottle but it was way louder so we could both hear it clearly and the sound was repeating for a while so then we decided to leave. And this sound was like everywhere we heard it all around us and we were there on our own there was nobody else no where near us. So fast forward to today we went to the same place like usual and we were just chatting about something again and then we were interrupted by the same sound again at the same place! I realised just now writing this that I should’ve recorded it this time but we just got so spooked by it that we left immediately. I just neeeed to know if this is paranormal or if somebody else has heard anything like that..

For starters I’m a mixed race female in her 20’s with the most average life you can imagine. I literally live in the hood…and smoke a little weed. Several months ago I heard this voice in my head, a male voice that calls itself Satan. Funny guy, says shit and does shit no one can really understand unless you’re in my shoes. I’ve been pretty chill about the situation going forward. Even went through a suicidal phase. Dude gives hard life lessons. Voice also changes with every sentence. It’s like a comedian in my brain. But it’s not just…in my consciousness…it’s physical? It can move my body without me “having to” can cause acne, (yes we’ve argued about it) and hysterical laughing, not the kind you control. He’s often imagining gore in my brain and horrible made up scenarios. And no schizophrenic medicine doesn’t work, tried it. Dunno if it’s some advanced tumor? I’ve gotten to the point where I wanna just give myself up as some experiment, (Satan calls me “stupid” for this thought) and yes I hear his voice constantly. It’s like two souls randomly merged in a body. Plan on taking some hypnosis pretty soon. (Oh and there’s various other “supernatural” things they do that aren’t explainable) And no, I’m not schizophrenic. There’s a dude in my body.
