Cool place

"In my childhood I often had extraordinary dreams, but it's hard to explain just a dream. One summer, in my dream I felt the fall into the pit, and when I was trying for something to grab, I grabbed someone's very long and wet hands. Horror in the sense that I woke up. I lay there, I opened my eyes and I was still very scared, and it seemed that I was being watched.

Time it was 5 am and the window was somehow disclosed to the blinds, and everything outside the window there was a dark bluish tint. It didn't seem like summer dawn and it was very cold. I stood up and began to walk around the house, noticing that all the rooms are empty and my family, no my dog. However, I noticed that all the Windows blinds were open too, though at night we close them.

I got dressed and went outside. Never had any cars, lost car near the houses of neighbors and our are missing, too. People are also nowhere to be seen. However, I felt that it was not a dream and not even a lucid dream, because I couldn't pass through objects, could not control and could not Wake up.

I decided to return back to his house and noticed that the clock in the house is still stuck at around 5 am. Then I sat in the quiet and cool house for an hour before he heard a loud sound similar to a car engine. I ran to my room, laid down, closed my eyes, and when again opened, all was OK now, the cold is gone, and the blinds on the window were closed.

I ran outside and saw that all the cars are in their places, but when I went back into the house and looked at the clock, again there was 5 in the morning. Now, however, time is not stopped, the arrow was moving forward .

Then I went into the living room and saw the couch of my grandfather, he was scared and was shivering. As it turned out, he experienced the same thing now that I did. Then we both called this phenomenon "cold place", but we don't like to think about it too terribly".

Hospital smell

"I don't remember when it happened, but about 2002-2006 when I was 3-6 years old. At the time, we lived in a private house with a big garden with my mom and my brother. The house was in a remote rural location and immediately, as soon as we got there, it began to cause us feelings of anxiety. We have lived in it for about three years and during that time it happened a few spooky anomalous phenomena.

The first was on a warm summer night and I remember my brother, who was older than me by 5 years, in horror ran to mother's room and climbed under her blanket. He told me that the night he woke up and decided to play video games on the TV, and then saw the reflection of the screen terrible. It is poorly described it, but it seems there was someone's face.

Then it was my turn. That night I had to sleep in a room with his cousin who was the same age as his older brother. Before bedtime he read me a book and everything was fine, and then in my head there was a terrible cry or even scream, full of pain. And I heard it at least five minutes. I was so scared that ran to mom's room and even cried from fear.

Then we came to my uncle. All night we chatted. he drank of the wine and was very merry and a bit drunk. And then he went to the kitchen to grab a couple Beers from the fridge, and came back pale as a sheet. According to him, when he came out of the kitchen, he was facing a tall dark figure that seemed to come up from the floor. Uncle even managed to see that it was a man in the clothes of a farmer, before it was gone.

Most interestingly, our mother had never seen anything disturbing or strange in the house. However, once something unusual happened with her. She liked to sit in the living room late, until 11 or 12 hours and watch TV that night and suddenly the whole living room was filled with the distinct hospital smell. You probably know what I'm talking about, it's the odor of drugs.

Later I thought about these phenomena and thought that probably in that house once lived a man who was very ill, suffering from severe pain, taking a lot of drugs, and then died there. This is why we are all faced with different manifestations of this, I could not understand".

Creepy phone call

"This happened 8-9 years ago. I was at the Mall with my daughter this weekend, and then we decided to go to the bakery and eat cake. Before we could sit down at a table with servings of cake as on my phone, someone called and the display shows that the caller was my sister. However, I knew that this time she was at work and she doesn't usually call me at this time and none of the colleagues never gives your phone. So I immediately got worried and thought something happened is very important.

When I took the call and said "Hello", I said, a very creepy and malleable voice, which was quite similar to the voice of my sister. And you know what said the voice?

"Ah, so you just sit here and eat cake?".

I remember trying to say something, but the voice wouldn't listen to me and started to laugh also creepy. And he laughed and laughed. And it was not clear is male or female voice.

I puzzled looked around. Maybe I was the victim of some prank? But then I thought, no matter how they got the phone number of my sister to draw? I am still confused, interrupted the call and looked at her daughter. She was sitting quietly eating my cake and the people around also behaved normally.

Later I told my sister and she also did not understand how this could happen. In her call log was not specified the call on my phone at this time, she showed it to me. So I still don't understand. what it was."

Orange peel

"I was 4 or 5 years and one day I went to sleep in the afternoon on the bed in his room on the second floor of our house. But before I sleep a wink, as something light and small flew at me from my box of toys, standing near the wall. This thing landed on my blanket, I took it in hand and thought it was very similar to the peel from the orange. It could be something else, as I now understand, but then I decided that it was orange peel.

I'm not even scared, but was confused, and then ran out into the corridor to see whether there hiding my stepfather. My stepfather was quite capable of such a joke. But he was far from my door, and when he saw me, he complained that I should sleep and not walk around the house. When I told him about the "peel", he got angry and said that it is not necessary to invent anything just not to go to sleep.

I'm a little nervous, but returned and again went to bed. However, it took probably 5-10 minutes and in my direction again, something flew. This time it hit me right in the face. From fear, I dove head first under the blanket entirely, and then saw something was on my blanket, I saw it caved in. However, when I got out from under the blanket, I saw nothing.

In the evening mom came home from work and I told her about the peel and about the blanket. But my mother and stepfather just laughed, and then said that I was dreaming.

It's been a few days, maybe a couple of weeks. I was sitting in my room on the floor and played with toys. And when I was digging in the toy box that stood by the wall, I found some dried orange peel. I grabbed her and ran to show my mom, but she said that apparently she left it in my room.

However for another couple of years I have found in various places of our house, including my room, pieces of dry orange peel. They were lying in boxes under the table. At the same time I was forbidden to eat in the bedroom and I never used to bring oranges.

I understand that this is all very strange and similar unlikely to meet on the Internet. The only thing I found that dried orange peel are used for banishing demons, while these crusts should be burned. In addition, I note that our home was in Salem, Oregon, and in the place where once was an Indian cemetery".

The shadow creature behind my little brother

"This is a strange shadow was behind my brother when he tried to make a video on the laptop. He and his mother were the only people in the house at that moment, dad was at work. The doorway, where the shadow leads to the bathroom and mom was in the tub and bathed, she didn'T come out.

So I don't know what the hell it is. By the way, this house is quite creepy and always scared me. I lived there from 14 to 18 years, and then moved".
