It disturbs me that there were 2 different reports of a pale THING with dried blood looking into the window as I've heard similar stories from others (heck, I was chased by something when I was 11 that I feel wasn't human but some kind of demon).

I've also heard scary tales of shadow people that a contributor shares.

Some (not all) of the more mundane ones sound familiar as well.

Though that last one should make some people feel old (I think it's the first time I felt that way) when he says, "When I was a kid...watching YouTube videos..."

But his talking about the banging on the door so hard that he thought it was going to be knocked down reminds me of the terrible nightmares I had right after that demon-thing (or whatever it was) chased me through the woods. I'd have nightmares and then thought I woke up to hear something banging on my bedroom door and I'd run to hold it shut, not sure I could, and then wake up for real. Over and over again. Not good times.

Oh yeah, I ended up leaving that house for a long while, but when I was forced to move back something crashed back there. Mom heard it as well (and there was stuff knocked over) and she thought it was Dad breaking in. In retrospect I think it was some demonic presence telling me, "Welcome back, I've missed you."

When we moved to another older house that had several centuries of some other family's energy in it, it was not nice. I had horrible nightmares of being choked and pinned down. Doors slammed and opened for no reason. Stuff fell off the shelves in the middle of the night. Even our pets weren't at peace. I finally found a box of the previous owners belongings in the basement. After we removed it from the house, the activity calmed down but I still burn some sage every now and again, when it starts to feel dark again.
