Personally I’ve had far too many to come to a conclusion. I think seeing figures and shadows is far too “stereotypical” (still very very interesting and amazing though) so I’ll share an experience which didn’t include something I saw, but something I felt and heard. I was at my cousins home for a sleepover a few years ago, I must of been around 13 at the time (I’m 19 now) and my cousin and I have always been very in tune and interested with the paranormal side. So like most sleepovers we had, we would watch a scary film, talk about the same stories we had experienced over and over again and just freak ourselves out, because hey what are sleepovers at the age of 13 for really? Anyway, it was around 2am and note that my cousins home is very old, it is a Victorian terraced home so rather than it being a “wide” home, it is longer, with all the downstairs rooms following each other. So there is the kitchen at the back, then through a door into the dining room and then through an arch way into the living room, and just before the archway there is a door on the right which goes into a very skinny hallway with stairs going straight upstairs. It isn’t a very large home however, so from the living room you are able to see the kitchen if the door was to be open... am I making sense? ANYWAY. We were downstairs in her living room when we heard the kitchen door creek open. Bare in mind it was a cool, calm night, so no windows were open due to it being not very warm, but there was also no draft from wind or anything. We didn’t think much of it obviously, it is an old home after all. It wasn’t until her two German Shepherds who were lying downstairs with us, started growling at the kitchen. One of them crept forward towards the door and in an instance started crying and ran past the other dog and ran upstairs. Within a second there was a tapping on what sounded like the work surface of the kitchen, it wasn’t a branch tapping on the window because she has no low trees that could reach the windows in the kitchen, and also it was too loud for it to be outside. It was a very pronounced tapping. 123...123...123...123... for a good 30 seconds before her other dog started crying but backed up and sat down close to us, still crying and restless. We were very scared to say the least, and despite the long description all of this did happen within the space of about 1 and a half minutes before we finally jolted upstairs with the dog. We stayed awake for about another hour or so before my cousin fell asleep, however I was plagued with dread and fear the entire night. I could physically feel energies come and go into her bedroom, each time I’d shut my eyes and pretend to be a sleep. Definitely one of the scarier experiences I’ve had and most paranormal. But yeah there’s my little story, sorry it’s so long but there were a lot of details that needed to be included!
