TW: paranormal experiences and shadow figures
Hey everyone! I just wanna say that none of this is made up and that it depends on how much you believe in this sort of thing.
So, I had my friends, A, come over for a sleepover yesterday. We were goofing off and decided to make little inspirational notes to hang around my neighborhood. We were walking down one of the streets in my neighborhood, when A decided to be goofy and run down to the end of it, which was pitch black since there were no lampposts/street lights (it was nighttime). She then screams and starts running towards me. She says she saw a massive, black figure in front of her. She couldn't make out anything besides that.
She literally tripped and scraped her hand and knee on the pavement from running so fast. That was just the beginning, however.
Me and A were so freaked out that we just decided to hang the rest of the inspirational notes the next morning, when we could actually see what we were doing. We took them into the house and put them on my dresser before watching a movie and heading off to bed.
The next morning, we decided to go to the same street in my neighborhood that A saw the figure and see if we could determine what it was. We thought it was just a lamppost of something, but we were so wrong.
We were almost there when we heard a literal scream from behind us. We turned around and nothing was there. We were freaked out of our minds at that point, but we kept walking. Then, we saw the notes. The same inspirational notes that we had literally brought back to my house and put on my dresser. They were laying in the grass, and I know for a FACT that we didn't put them there.
At this point we were panicking, but it gets so much weirder. We started hearing bells, almost like a windchime, but there were none near us.
We then felt like we were being watched. It wasn't just a 'a la oopsies little old me making up stories' it was both of us agreeing on it. We felt like someone was right next to us. WE THEN HEARD FOOTSTEPS RIGHT BEHIND US WHILE WALKING AND THEY KEPT HAPPENING.
After that we were just about terrified. So much had happened. We decided to be stupid and joke around. We said for whatever was there to give us an obvious sign, and suddenly the wind, the wind that had been super strong all day long, stopped immedietely.
We tried it again and asked for an obvious sign. Guess what? The wind starts back up instantly.
We literally ran back to my house after that. On the way, I looked back at the woods, and I SAW A FIGURE WATCHING US FROM THE TREES. I wish I were joking. It was huge, I would estimate 6 foot, and entirely black and almost opaque. Im not one to be super sensitive, but after that I just had a miniature mental breakdown on the spot.
I'm not a superstitious person. I dont believe in spirits or ghosts that much, but holy cow. There were a few things that could be passed off as coincidences of nature, but other things like the notes just creep me out.
What do you think? Have you ever had any experiences like this?; I would love to know! :)
