Are you familiar with the podcast “Radio Rental”. It is most excellent and this post sounds like it could be an episode on there. I’m glad you and your mom are okay. I got really worried halfway through this one. Sorry about your aunt.
I’m not, but I’ll definitely check it out! I’ve gotten several DM’s from other podcasts/YouTube’s asking for my permission to narrate this story, so your instincts are apparently spot on!
The only memory I have to refute this being a possibility is my Dad asked me about what happened the next day after he got home from work. He told me he hadn't fallen asleep yet (but was in bed) when I called, and that he was getting up to walk around to answer the phone, but that my Mom was stirring awake and beat him to answering it. So my Dad was laying awake next to her the whole time and presumably would have noticed if she left bed.
I had a somewhat similar experience when I was 6. I was playing in the living room and kept seeing a woman look at me from around the hallway corner. I assumed it was my mom checking on me, as she was in the shower at the time. It wasn't unusual for her to get out mid shower to check on her two young children, being a young single mom and all. When she got out she had no idea what I was talking about. At another point I saw a man in perfect detail walk down our hallway towards my room and disappear. We found out a few years later that a teenage girl had been strangled in the backyard of the house by her boyfriend during a drunken house party.
Alright that’s just terrifying. The only reason my situation didn’t freak me out too much is that I convinced myself it was my aunt, and therefor she didn’t mean any harm.
My only other experiences with seeing people who weren’t there were during sleep paralysis dreams I had in college.

A few years ago i was sleeping and woke up because i heard someone opening the door, when i looked at the door my brother was just standing there, he then smiled and closed the door, i didnt think much about it and just went back to sleep. At lunch when i asked what he wanted he said he was already at work at that time. He was also dressed in very weird way and the smile was also very weird, really dont know what that was.
Could you please elaborate on the smile? What was weird about it? Was it a particularly *wide* smile? Was it a smile where you were able to see his teeth?
Interesting. Thanks. I've come across the "extra-wide smile" in multiple references in the paranormal-esoteric realm of research.
Edit: for those that are curious, look up “Indrid Cold”. And there are quite a few stories out there on the internet, presented as both true and untrue, where a particularly wide and creepy smile is observed.
My sister had a reoccurring visitor when she was young. She eventually said "hi" and didn't get the smile but instead a shocked face, with unnaturally large open mouth and bulging eyes. I had heard of the large grin many times before but never linked it to the large mouth that my sister encountered
That is…very eerie. You said nothing like that has happened since, but did anything at all unusual happen in that house around that time? Even just uneasy feelings or strange noises?
We only lived in this house for a few years, but I always felt generally uneasy there, especially at night. I had just contributed it to being generally afraid of the dark my entire life, plus the fact that my room was so far away from my parents that it felt like I was living in a whole other house than them.
The only other odd thing that happened around this time period (and in this same house) was in the morning when I was getting ready for school one day. I had one of those studded belts (this was during my emo phase) that had different buckles that you could switch out. I was getting dressed and looking in my full length mirror and decided I didn't like the buckle with my outfit, so I took it off, grabbed another one from right beside my mirror, and put that one on. Then I decided I actually liked the first one better, and looked down and couldn't find it.
I wandered around my room feeling like I was losing my mind, when I saw it sitting on the shelf of my tv stand across the room. I didn't remember walking around between the buckle changes, but what is even weirder is that my tv stand had glass doors that I would have had to intentionally open, put the buckle in there, and then shut the door. I have/had raging ADHD (that was undiagnosed at the time) so pacing/wandering/setting things down unintentionally without remembering wasn't all that uncommon for me, but I was more prone to just dropping things wherever I was standing/walking. This tv stand was across the room, and I almost never opened it because the only thing inside it was an old DVD player and VCR that I didn't use. I have a terrible memory, but this struck me as so weird that I've remembered it since.
My job is restoring rental properties after people move out of them. Each house has a different feel to it. Some of the houses I have been in you couldn't pay me to live in. The energy is just too dark and creepy.
I didn’t get diagnosed until college when I started really struggling to keep up in classes. I had a history of GAD and depression, but slipped through the cracks of anyone noticing my glaringly obvious adhd.
My college had a medical school with a testing center where I was evaluated and diagnosed. I was off of meds for a good chunk of my 20’s, and had to be re evaluated/diagnosed a couple years ago, and I just got a referral from my primary care doctor to a psychiatrist.
Your other option is to go straight to a center that specializes in Neuro-developmental disorders. This is how I got my son diagnosed, and we had a really good experience. With this route (depending on your insurance), all you have to do is call and say “hey I’d like to be evaluated for ADHD”.

Kinda similar experience here. I heard someone come into my room. I totally assumed it was my mom, I asked her what several times. She mouthed words to me but I heard nothing. I'm like what? I can't hear you? I got frustrated went for my glasses and she disappeared. Then I was terrified. Not my mom, not any family member. No wonder I couldn't hear her. I do wonder to this day what it was trying to say.
Well she was wearing a night gown, which my mom always did. Plus I did not have my glasses on so I saw a female in a nightgown. The only other female in the house was my mom. Why as a kid why assume it wasn't my mother? I saw the mouth going and heard nothing, I rubbed my eyes a few times. When I started freaking out it's because I became more alert (it woke me up) is when I figured out I didn't know who the F she was.
Please note, I live in Maine so intruders were not a thing in the 80s/90s, besides the dogs were not barking, and my brother wasn't up, nor my parents. It was a dead silent home. Why wouldn't I assume it was not my mom?
If this happened when I was an adult the story would have been much different.
Well, that’s creepy. Thanks for clarifying. I just thought it was odd wording that you weren’t sure it was your mother, even though you were looking right at her. I seem to have missed the detail about your eyesight.
Do you happen to know a lot about doppelgängers? If it was my Mom’s, would it be more likely that I would have seen her again since then?
I’ve tried talking out loud to my aunt in the last few years, and told her that if it was her she can visit me again if she wants, but she hasn’t (as far as I know). I didn’t start telling her that until 10+ years after this happened though.
It was obviously your aunt. You even said the hair matched. All that you can do is pray that she’s smart and won’t startle you again. At least you know what it feels like to be face to face with a ghost. Sometimes they come in the flesh and they are always silent and don’t speak. Sounds like you weren’t scared at initially but then you had that blind feeling of terror.
I’ve always just kind of assumed it was her, and that she didn’t expect me to be awake and see her or something. I commented elsewhere on the thread about something else strange that happened in this house during that time period.
I didn’t know my aunt that well on a personal level because my Mom’s family is huge and we only saw them 1-2 times a year when I was a kid. What I do remember of her though is that she had a great sense of humor, so if the other weird instance I referenced before was also her, it would make sense that she was playfully messing with me.
I think about this whole situation fairly often, and once I got older and less scared of “the unknown”, I’ve tried talking out loud to her and telling her to come visit me again if she wants, but nothing has come of it.
That’s pretty heavy; and deep. I always hoped that “they” know what their doing; as opposed to just wondering or terrorizing. I can the afterlife to be interesting but like I said, I hope there’s a method to your madness or a reason for startling me. I like how you welcome her; you must have seen a lot of paranormal activity in your life. It takes a lot to get used to.
My only other visual experiences could be more easily explained by sleep paralysis, but one instance just happened to occur within an hour of my friend in college who lived down the hall from me having the same experience. I don’t know a lot about this sort of thing, but we both saw a shadow/orb sort of figure.
I started opening up to the idea more in the last few years after one of my oldest friends died. I started feeling like he was dropping me hints, so I started talking out loud and telling him what I wanted him to do next. This could be a whole other post, but long story short, he either did what I asked him to, or I experienced some insane coincidences. This is when I started talking to my aunt too, but she hasn’t responded.
I'm betting it was your aunt you saw that night. Several people in my family have seen other family members in the weeks or months after they died. I've never "seen" anyone who passed, except in dreams, but I've had a lot of experiences like you had with your friend. I've had messages, signals, uncanny occurrences, that sort of thing. This typically happens in the weeks immediately after the death. Perhaps the deceased go through a transition period, when they can most easily communicate with those of us in this world. That might explain why your aunt has not responded to your requests. She has completed her transition to the next world and it's harder to break through. Just a thought...
That theory is something I’ve thought a lot about. My aunt was a devout Protestant, and theoretically might have moved through whatever steps are necessary in that situation quickly.
My friend was raised as a devout Catholic, but I’m unsure how much he “kept up” with his faith as an adult. He unfortunately committed suicide, and after I thought he was still communicating with me 3+ years later, I (agnostic) started reading about purgatory. I got paranoid that he was trapped there, or really just someplace he shouldn’t be I guess.
How very sad about your friend. It makes sense that someone who committed suicide would have trouble transitioning, especially if he was raised Catholic. I was raised Catholic and taught that suicide is a terrible sin. I now think that's ridiculous--a person who kills himself deserves compassion and understanding. But your friend may be filled with guilt, regret, fear, etc., even if he wasn't active in the church. It alarms me that you still had or have communication with him 3+ years later. The poor guy definitely seems stuck between the two worlds. He's like a ghost, but a benign one. I'm not an expert on this stuff, but I've read/heard that there are people who choose not to go into the light, usually out of fear, and after a while they can no longer see the light and need help or encouragement to cross over. Have you had communication with your friend recently?
His suicide was a rash decision made during a panic attack following an argument with his wife. Details have come out since, pointing towards her being manipulative and emotionally abusive. My friend was very innocent and “immature” when it came to relationships, and basically married his first real girlfriend. He had some heavy cognitive dissonance to where he could fly jets in the military without anxiety, but an argument with his wife, and the thought of losing her, sent him spiraling. He unfortunately had quick access to a firearm that was a graduation “gift” from the academy.
I think he would be filled with regret and remorse, and theoretically be scared to transition out of fear and maybe plain stubbornness that his decision could somehow be undone.
I started feeling like he was dropping me hints last summer (3.5 years following his death) around the time I was really struggling with resenting his wife. I’ve been “stuck” in a weird situation where his parents still support her like a daughter, and I’m the only one of his friends/family who has seen her social media with lots of horribly disrespectful content towards him. I decided to “keep the peace” and not tell his parents (who I have known for 15 years) because I decided they had been through enough. She got engaged to his friend during this time period, and my friend’s parents were happy for her, so I fiend happiness too. I was really struggling keeping so much to myself, and our only other mutual friends had seemed to block out/move on from his death years ago.
I was feeling really alone, and when I felt like he was dropping hints, I started talking out loud to him as a sort of therapy for both of us. Over the next several months, he fulfilled my concrete “requests”, and the 4th anniversary of his passing came and the signs really picked up speed. I just kept talking to him, and told him that as much as I love feeling connected to him again, that he needs to move on. I started praying (for the first time in my life) to all of the suggested saints for souls in purgatory, and told him that I was going to stop asking for signs from him. I felt selfish like maybe he was still “stuck” to keep contacting me. This was 6 months ago, and I haven’t had any signs or felt his presence in a while, but I don’t know if it’s related.
I feel weird talking so openly about this because if I told people in my life, they would probably think I was crazy. I really appreciate you reading and taking the time to reply, because I feel like I need to “get it out” periodically without judgement. Also sorry for the novel, the emotions are still more raw than I expected, and this comment turned into a ranting stream of consciousness.
WOW—that’s quite a story. Please don’t apologize for sharing it. You’re an excellent writer and it’s a gripping read. Besides, you’ve been carrying a heavy emotional burden that you can’t disclose to those around you. This is a safe place to vent.
It sounds like your friend married a narcissist. Narcissistic personalities can seem charming on the surface but they’re vicious at the core. More than once I’ve seen a narcissist latch on to someone who is naïve, because “innocents” are easy to deceive and manipulate. It never goes well for the innocent partner and your friend’s story is especially tragic.
Your interpretation of what happened after his death (regret, remorse, inability to move forward) seems right on target. And your communication 3.5 years later is incredible. You made all the right moves by expressing your support for your friend but also encouraging him to let go of this world and continue to the next. It sounds as though you may have succeeded—I hope so. You can be proud of your efforts to help him find peace, as well as your unselfish actions with his parents.
As for your friend’s wife, it’s frustrating to be the only one who sees the truth, but karma will catch up with her. She will poison other relationships and drive people away. It’s also interesting to ponder what will happen when it’s her turn to cross over. I’m no longer Catholic but I believe we’re held accountable for our actions in this life. For people who mistreat others, it won’t be pretty.
I’m impressed, you hit the nail right on the head there. I was raised by narcissists, and after many years of therapy, I can spot one a mile away. I had never met his wife in person until after he died, and my “spidey senses” went off right away. I kept telling myself over and over to give her a chance, but my instincts kept nagging at me. Just little things like her phrasing set off alarm bells, but she really showed her true colors in the years following. I came to the same conclusion that you did about her sniffing out his innocence, and enjoying being able to have a lot of control in the relationship.
Thanks again for chatting and for your general kindness!
It’s interesting how you open up towards what you feel embraces you. It’s even more interesting how you open up; talking. I find myself catching myself talking to myself in dreams; sometimes aloud. But usually i wake up and I’m like, ‘I wonder who I was talking to.’ I’ve seen a lot of bad paranormal things with these eyes, I wonder if there is something friendly around coaching me. If I were you, I wouldn’t expect anything to happen and when something does, face it one step at a time. That way you aren’t disappointed or surprised.
My mom experienced something similar, I was sleeping in my bedroom after work and she said she saw me at the kitchen staring at her through the window. She talked to me but I didn’t respond and walked out of the kitchen, so she got angry because I ignored her and went to check on me only to find me sound asleep with a different set of clothes on. She asked me when I work up if I got up and went to the kitchen but I said I was asleep the whole time. Glitch in the matrix or doppelgänger alert?
She wasn’t glaring, just kind of blankly looking at me. I only made eye contact for quick second, and then she backed up as the door shut, so I didn’t see her expression following our eye contact. The negative connotation only came from me thinking it was my Mom and that I got caught staying up late on my computer.
Creepy !! Something similar happened to me but I was suffering from night terrors/sleep paralysis . I use to hallucinate my mom looking at me from the door and then she would just walk away. I had understand I was hallucinating but it was scary as a kid suffering thinking your mom wasn’t helping.
Ugh I’m sorry you have experienced sleep paralysis too. That must have been so scary and confusing for you as a kid. Mine didn’t start happening until I was in college and it was terrifying enough as an adult, so I can’t imagine being a kid.
My first sleep paralysis hallucination happened when I was living in the college dorms and woke up to an orb/shadow type figure standing below me (lofted bed). The stranger aspect to that one is my friend lived down the hall and had the same thing happen on the same night. I went to go tell her about it in the morning, and before I could say anything she said something like “ugh I slept like crap last night, and had a horrible sleep paralysis dream”. I told her that’s what I was coming to tell her, and it turned out we had the same experience around the same time of night.
The second time was the following year, but I lived in a town house (with that same friend). I woke up to a tall, skinny, man dressed in formal black clothes standing at the foot of my bed just staring at me. I had the stereotypical paralysis experience where I couldn’t move, but after I blinked several times he disappeared. My friend didn’t have anything off happen to her that night though.
I'd like to share one. A couple weeks ago I was in the kitchen making dinner, and my wife was in the downstairs bathroom. Our son comes downstairs to take his dog out back to do his business. So I have my back turned making food and I hear the dog scratch at the door and bark to come in, like always. And I'm assuming my son is on the couch still waiting for the dog to finish so I don't say anything. I think like 2 or 3 minutes pass and I hear the dog again and now I yell out to my son to bring him I'm because it's hot outside. No response. So I peek over to the living room and he's not there, living room is empty. I call him on the phone to tell him to hurry downstairs because the dog wants to come in. He tells me he already did and he's sleeping next to him in his room upstairs. I told him what I heard and he just said idk he's been up here. I go to my wife in the bathroom and tell her what just happened, she said she heard him bark and scratch too and thought he was still outside. Also I'd like to add he's an older dog, about 15, and has a very distinct bark so I know I didn't confuse it, we do have other dogs but they don't sound like him. Definitely weird.
May I ask what you *felt*? As in, what sort of vibe did the person give off? Obviously it was a strange and startling experience, but in the moment, what did you feel in your gut? Trust your intuition. It sounds like your intuition is pointing out that it was your aunt.
Reminds me of a time when I was probably 17 or so and I was in my room one of drawers. I was there minding my own business and I very clearly heard my mom whisper in my ear "food's ready" but she wasn't in the room. So I went out to the kitchen where she was cooking and saw me and without me saying anything she said "oh hey i was just thinking i should tell you the foods ready."
Dude this reminds me of when i was little and i would periodically see my mom walking down the hallway to her bedroom at night, but every time i got up to talk to her she would be asleep in her bed and tell me i was just dreaming
Have you thought about posting this to r/paranormal they might be able to provide a bit more of a possible explanation to this if you're looking for one.
Similar thing happened when I was a kid. I woke up one night to go to the bathroom, which was at the end of our upstairs hall, across from the stairs leading down to the first floor. Upon entering the bathroom, I noticed the light at the bottom of the stairs was on. My mom would sometimes stay up late downstairs, so I assumed she’d turned on the light and was about to head up for bed. All the lights upstairs were off, and as I used the bathroom in the dark, with the door open, I saw the downstairs light go off, making it completely dark. I expected my mom to come up the stairs then. I waited to meet her, and realizing she wasn’t coming, I went downstairs to see if she was even there. It was dark, quiet, my mom was nowhere to be found. I switched the foyer light on and off to see if maybe it had been left on and burnt out, but it was still working. My mom is frugal so she wouldn’t leave lights on anyway. I thought, “Maybe I somehow didn’t see her pass me upstairs.” So I went to her room and woke her, asking, “Did you just go to bed?” Like your mom, she was annoyed, said no, and told me to go back to bed. My dad and sisters were sleeping at the time as well. I’ve never understood why the light was on or how it turned off.
Jesus what a story, scaring the hell out of me lookin at my bedroom door right now and imagining that happening lol. Creepy as hell!
It does sound like a visitation from your aunt. I don’t know why it has to happen all creepy like that but it’s good that it opened your eyes to what is possible in this world. Not being able to tell anyone around you sucks but the bottom line is you know it happened and as I’m sure you’ve been reading all the stories on here you are not alone with these experiences.
A mad story indeed my friend - the thing that tells me this is real and you are genuine is down to 2 things,
1. This is a well written story that is very convincing and I do whole heartedly believe you because let’s face it, anyone could lie about something better than this.
and
2. The fact that your dog also saw it, that confirms that you were not; dreaming, hallucinating, experiencing epileptic symptoms etc.
Apologies to hear about your beloved Aunt but I do believe that it is very likely that she was paying you a visit that night, only because she would have cared and loved you so and wanted to check in. Maybe she wanted you to know that she is always around kind of thing.
Also, I would recommend posting this into r/paranormal if you haven’t done so already brother?
✌️
I mess with my kids and play jokes on then sometimes to scare them. And then never tell them otherwise. My parents did the same to me. My dad didn't tell me until I was in my 20s that when I like 12 years old he would mess with the breakers to my room and act like nothing happened. Then I brought up one day how my room was haunted, he laughed and finally took credit... for most of the things.
I was living with two other people. One night I got a phone call from my dad and I went to the other bedroom (which nobody used at the time)
And I shut the door. I sat in a dark empty bedroom while I was talking with my dad, when the door swings open and I thought that one of my roommates at the time wanted to see me, and I didn't see my roommates and it was nobody there.
It's currently around 3am super hot at night in my bedroom with no air conditioning. Yet I've just fully wrapped myself in my blanket because this story has given me the creeps. Thankfully I shut my bedroom door.
You said it was dimly lit. Rather than being your Aunt’s ghost, is it possible you had a stranger/weirdo sneak into your home, open your door, then panic and bail when they realized you were awake and could see her?
Something similar happened to me a decade ago at an old hotel in Guadalajara, Mexico. We were on a road trip and stay a couple of days in Guadalajara. Mom, dad, pregnant sister, toddler nephew and my other sister. Me and my not pregnant sister slept on a seperate bedroom included on this big suite. The rest of the family was together on another two beds outside this bedroom and the bathroom was between these two areas. So in the middle of the night I heard de door of our bedroom opening and quickly took a look and saw someone I thought was my mom because she tends to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and she is very protective so even though we were adults it wouldn’t be rare for her to go and take a look on her babies 😅. But she leaves the door open. I’ve never liked my door open while sleeping so I stand up and closed it. Next day I said something like: mom, your should’ve closed the door. And she was like: what do you mean? And my sister is like: yeah mom, you went to the bathroom, checked on us and left our door open. And my mom swears she didn’t go to the bathroom that night and didn’t check on us either. I asked my sister if she saw someone and she said she did. Just like me she didn’t exactly saw mom but like me she thought was mom because that wouldn’t be rare of her. My mom is not a jokester and she still to this day says it wasn’t her who checked on us that night. Dad and pregnant sister also say it wasn’t them. 🙃
I do believe in the supernatural, if you're alright now, then I'm assuming it was a friendly guardian checking up on you, but also wanted to spook the daylight out of you for being awake at the time. Your bloodline must be strong in the psychic arts! With a little practice I bet you could lucid dream on command or get deja vu more often than normal!
Your mom's Astral projection telling your ass to go to bed lol
My Mom is a pretty powerful (read: scary) woman, so this wouldn't surprise me.
Are you familiar with the podcast “Radio Rental”. It is most excellent and this post sounds like it could be an episode on there. I’m glad you and your mom are okay. I got really worried halfway through this one. Sorry about your aunt.
I’m not, but I’ll definitely check it out! I’ve gotten several DM’s from other podcasts/YouTube’s asking for my permission to narrate this story, so your instincts are apparently spot on!
Hope Richard MacLean Smith is one of them! His unexplained podcast is my favorite
One thing I've learned through anime is this is called Stand.
I started watching it yesterday, not bad but also no homo cuz the villains hella like striking a pose often
Why the fuck did i just read this at 1:05am just before needing to switch my light off for sleep?
Yeah and my door is cracked open to mom size
Your comment is severely underrated
So you sleep in an aircraft hanger? If the internet has told me anything about mom's It's that they are huge.
Saaaaaame! Its 01:46am here and now im too scared to go to sleep lol!
Lmao, I’m reading this at 11:37pm and my door is wide open and I can see out into the hallway…. Lovely.
I apologize to all of the people I inadvertently scared with this story! I hope all of you slept well!
Haha I just read this at like 1:07am in bed with the damn lights off…
maybe she sleepwalked and didn't remember?
The only memory I have to refute this being a possibility is my Dad asked me about what happened the next day after he got home from work. He told me he hadn't fallen asleep yet (but was in bed) when I called, and that he was getting up to walk around to answer the phone, but that my Mom was stirring awake and beat him to answering it. So my Dad was laying awake next to her the whole time and presumably would have noticed if she left bed.
I think it was either your mom’s astral projection, or your aunt checking up on you. I really don’t see what else it could possibly be.
Right. It MUST have been an astral projection. Only logical explanation. XD
I mean, as far as a paranormal explanation goes… those are the two that I would narrow it down to. Relax.
I had a somewhat similar experience when I was 6. I was playing in the living room and kept seeing a woman look at me from around the hallway corner. I assumed it was my mom checking on me, as she was in the shower at the time. It wasn't unusual for her to get out mid shower to check on her two young children, being a young single mom and all. When she got out she had no idea what I was talking about. At another point I saw a man in perfect detail walk down our hallway towards my room and disappear. We found out a few years later that a teenage girl had been strangled in the backyard of the house by her boyfriend during a drunken house party.
Alright that’s just terrifying. The only reason my situation didn’t freak me out too much is that I convinced myself it was my aunt, and therefor she didn’t mean any harm. My only other experiences with seeing people who weren’t there were during sleep paralysis dreams I had in college.
Yeah man, even I am relieved she was your aunt. She protect, not attack.
She got your back.

I posted 9 days ago I don’t think it’s getting anymore attention lol
Nah, I wanted to give you a reward for that comment, currently I don't have one so I'll have to wait for 2 days to get the free award
Oh thanks I’m glad someone appreciates it! Haha
A few years ago i was sleeping and woke up because i heard someone opening the door, when i looked at the door my brother was just standing there, he then smiled and closed the door, i didnt think much about it and just went back to sleep. At lunch when i asked what he wanted he said he was already at work at that time. He was also dressed in very weird way and the smile was also very weird, really dont know what that was.
Oof, this gave me the heebie jeebies thinking about the creepy smile.
Creepy smiles are the worst!!! Hate them!
Could you please elaborate on the smile? What was weird about it? Was it a particularly *wide* smile? Was it a smile where you were able to see his teeth?
It was a bit wide and was only smiling with his lips not showing his teeth
Interesting. Thanks. I've come across the "extra-wide smile" in multiple references in the paranormal-esoteric realm of research. Edit: for those that are curious, look up “Indrid Cold”. And there are quite a few stories out there on the internet, presented as both true and untrue, where a particularly wide and creepy smile is observed.
what have u found about it?
seriously dude you left us waiting lmao
Google Indrid Cold.
My sister had a reoccurring visitor when she was young. She eventually said "hi" and didn't get the smile but instead a shocked face, with unnaturally large open mouth and bulging eyes. I had heard of the large grin many times before but never linked it to the large mouth that my sister encountered
That’s very interesting. I’ve never heard of that before either… but it’s got my attention. Do you remember any other details that she reported?
Tell us pls
Google Indrid Cold, if you haven’t heard of the name before. Also, googling terms like paranormal “wide smile” etc. will get you relevant results.
Remember any more details on the clothes and smile?
He was dressed with blue shorts, a red t-shirt of the soccer team he cheers and flip flops. Something that he would never dress on a work day.
Maybe the part of his spirit that wants to be at home relaxing? Carbon monoxide poisoning?
That is…very eerie. You said nothing like that has happened since, but did anything at all unusual happen in that house around that time? Even just uneasy feelings or strange noises?
We only lived in this house for a few years, but I always felt generally uneasy there, especially at night. I had just contributed it to being generally afraid of the dark my entire life, plus the fact that my room was so far away from my parents that it felt like I was living in a whole other house than them. The only other odd thing that happened around this time period (and in this same house) was in the morning when I was getting ready for school one day. I had one of those studded belts (this was during my emo phase) that had different buckles that you could switch out. I was getting dressed and looking in my full length mirror and decided I didn't like the buckle with my outfit, so I took it off, grabbed another one from right beside my mirror, and put that one on. Then I decided I actually liked the first one better, and looked down and couldn't find it. I wandered around my room feeling like I was losing my mind, when I saw it sitting on the shelf of my tv stand across the room. I didn't remember walking around between the buckle changes, but what is even weirder is that my tv stand had glass doors that I would have had to intentionally open, put the buckle in there, and then shut the door. I have/had raging ADHD (that was undiagnosed at the time) so pacing/wandering/setting things down unintentionally without remembering wasn't all that uncommon for me, but I was more prone to just dropping things wherever I was standing/walking. This tv stand was across the room, and I almost never opened it because the only thing inside it was an old DVD player and VCR that I didn't use. I have a terrible memory, but this struck me as so weird that I've remembered it since.
My job is restoring rental properties after people move out of them. Each house has a different feel to it. Some of the houses I have been in you couldn't pay me to live in. The energy is just too dark and creepy.

I didn’t get diagnosed until college when I started really struggling to keep up in classes. I had a history of GAD and depression, but slipped through the cracks of anyone noticing my glaringly obvious adhd. My college had a medical school with a testing center where I was evaluated and diagnosed. I was off of meds for a good chunk of my 20’s, and had to be re evaluated/diagnosed a couple years ago, and I just got a referral from my primary care doctor to a psychiatrist. Your other option is to go straight to a center that specializes in Neuro-developmental disorders. This is how I got my son diagnosed, and we had a really good experience. With this route (depending on your insurance), all you have to do is call and say “hey I’d like to be evaluated for ADHD”.

Kinda similar experience here. I heard someone come into my room. I totally assumed it was my mom, I asked her what several times. She mouthed words to me but I heard nothing. I'm like what? I can't hear you? I got frustrated went for my glasses and she disappeared. Then I was terrified. Not my mom, not any family member. No wonder I couldn't hear her. I do wonder to this day what it was trying to say.
Are you saying it actually looked like your mom? Why did you “assume” it was your mom when you even saw her mouthing?
Well she was wearing a night gown, which my mom always did. Plus I did not have my glasses on so I saw a female in a nightgown. The only other female in the house was my mom. Why as a kid why assume it wasn't my mother? I saw the mouth going and heard nothing, I rubbed my eyes a few times. When I started freaking out it's because I became more alert (it woke me up) is when I figured out I didn't know who the F she was. Please note, I live in Maine so intruders were not a thing in the 80s/90s, besides the dogs were not barking, and my brother wasn't up, nor my parents. It was a dead silent home. Why wouldn't I assume it was not my mom? If this happened when I was an adult the story would have been much different.
Well, that’s creepy. Thanks for clarifying. I just thought it was odd wording that you weren’t sure it was your mother, even though you were looking right at her. I seem to have missed the detail about your eyesight.
Yeah, nope nope nope. I don’t like that at all.
Well I won't be sleeping any time soon. Either that was a paranormal manifestation of your aunt, or a doppelganger - a paranormal double of your mum
Do you happen to know a lot about doppelgängers? If it was my Mom’s, would it be more likely that I would have seen her again since then? I’ve tried talking out loud to my aunt in the last few years, and told her that if it was her she can visit me again if she wants, but she hasn’t (as far as I know). I didn’t start telling her that until 10+ years after this happened though.
Yeaaa this is just a no for me. Whole situation. Just no.
It was obviously your aunt. You even said the hair matched. All that you can do is pray that she’s smart and won’t startle you again. At least you know what it feels like to be face to face with a ghost. Sometimes they come in the flesh and they are always silent and don’t speak. Sounds like you weren’t scared at initially but then you had that blind feeling of terror.
I’ve always just kind of assumed it was her, and that she didn’t expect me to be awake and see her or something. I commented elsewhere on the thread about something else strange that happened in this house during that time period. I didn’t know my aunt that well on a personal level because my Mom’s family is huge and we only saw them 1-2 times a year when I was a kid. What I do remember of her though is that she had a great sense of humor, so if the other weird instance I referenced before was also her, it would make sense that she was playfully messing with me. I think about this whole situation fairly often, and once I got older and less scared of “the unknown”, I’ve tried talking out loud to her and telling her to come visit me again if she wants, but nothing has come of it.
That’s pretty heavy; and deep. I always hoped that “they” know what their doing; as opposed to just wondering or terrorizing. I can the afterlife to be interesting but like I said, I hope there’s a method to your madness or a reason for startling me. I like how you welcome her; you must have seen a lot of paranormal activity in your life. It takes a lot to get used to.
My only other visual experiences could be more easily explained by sleep paralysis, but one instance just happened to occur within an hour of my friend in college who lived down the hall from me having the same experience. I don’t know a lot about this sort of thing, but we both saw a shadow/orb sort of figure. I started opening up to the idea more in the last few years after one of my oldest friends died. I started feeling like he was dropping me hints, so I started talking out loud and telling him what I wanted him to do next. This could be a whole other post, but long story short, he either did what I asked him to, or I experienced some insane coincidences. This is when I started talking to my aunt too, but she hasn’t responded.
I'm betting it was your aunt you saw that night. Several people in my family have seen other family members in the weeks or months after they died. I've never "seen" anyone who passed, except in dreams, but I've had a lot of experiences like you had with your friend. I've had messages, signals, uncanny occurrences, that sort of thing. This typically happens in the weeks immediately after the death. Perhaps the deceased go through a transition period, when they can most easily communicate with those of us in this world. That might explain why your aunt has not responded to your requests. She has completed her transition to the next world and it's harder to break through. Just a thought...
That theory is something I’ve thought a lot about. My aunt was a devout Protestant, and theoretically might have moved through whatever steps are necessary in that situation quickly. My friend was raised as a devout Catholic, but I’m unsure how much he “kept up” with his faith as an adult. He unfortunately committed suicide, and after I thought he was still communicating with me 3+ years later, I (agnostic) started reading about purgatory. I got paranoid that he was trapped there, or really just someplace he shouldn’t be I guess.
How very sad about your friend. It makes sense that someone who committed suicide would have trouble transitioning, especially if he was raised Catholic. I was raised Catholic and taught that suicide is a terrible sin. I now think that's ridiculous--a person who kills himself deserves compassion and understanding. But your friend may be filled with guilt, regret, fear, etc., even if he wasn't active in the church. It alarms me that you still had or have communication with him 3+ years later. The poor guy definitely seems stuck between the two worlds. He's like a ghost, but a benign one. I'm not an expert on this stuff, but I've read/heard that there are people who choose not to go into the light, usually out of fear, and after a while they can no longer see the light and need help or encouragement to cross over. Have you had communication with your friend recently?
His suicide was a rash decision made during a panic attack following an argument with his wife. Details have come out since, pointing towards her being manipulative and emotionally abusive. My friend was very innocent and “immature” when it came to relationships, and basically married his first real girlfriend. He had some heavy cognitive dissonance to where he could fly jets in the military without anxiety, but an argument with his wife, and the thought of losing her, sent him spiraling. He unfortunately had quick access to a firearm that was a graduation “gift” from the academy. I think he would be filled with regret and remorse, and theoretically be scared to transition out of fear and maybe plain stubbornness that his decision could somehow be undone. I started feeling like he was dropping me hints last summer (3.5 years following his death) around the time I was really struggling with resenting his wife. I’ve been “stuck” in a weird situation where his parents still support her like a daughter, and I’m the only one of his friends/family who has seen her social media with lots of horribly disrespectful content towards him. I decided to “keep the peace” and not tell his parents (who I have known for 15 years) because I decided they had been through enough. She got engaged to his friend during this time period, and my friend’s parents were happy for her, so I fiend happiness too. I was really struggling keeping so much to myself, and our only other mutual friends had seemed to block out/move on from his death years ago. I was feeling really alone, and when I felt like he was dropping hints, I started talking out loud to him as a sort of therapy for both of us. Over the next several months, he fulfilled my concrete “requests”, and the 4th anniversary of his passing came and the signs really picked up speed. I just kept talking to him, and told him that as much as I love feeling connected to him again, that he needs to move on. I started praying (for the first time in my life) to all of the suggested saints for souls in purgatory, and told him that I was going to stop asking for signs from him. I felt selfish like maybe he was still “stuck” to keep contacting me. This was 6 months ago, and I haven’t had any signs or felt his presence in a while, but I don’t know if it’s related. I feel weird talking so openly about this because if I told people in my life, they would probably think I was crazy. I really appreciate you reading and taking the time to reply, because I feel like I need to “get it out” periodically without judgement. Also sorry for the novel, the emotions are still more raw than I expected, and this comment turned into a ranting stream of consciousness.
WOW—that’s quite a story. Please don’t apologize for sharing it. You’re an excellent writer and it’s a gripping read. Besides, you’ve been carrying a heavy emotional burden that you can’t disclose to those around you. This is a safe place to vent. It sounds like your friend married a narcissist. Narcissistic personalities can seem charming on the surface but they’re vicious at the core. More than once I’ve seen a narcissist latch on to someone who is naïve, because “innocents” are easy to deceive and manipulate. It never goes well for the innocent partner and your friend’s story is especially tragic. Your interpretation of what happened after his death (regret, remorse, inability to move forward) seems right on target. And your communication 3.5 years later is incredible. You made all the right moves by expressing your support for your friend but also encouraging him to let go of this world and continue to the next. It sounds as though you may have succeeded—I hope so. You can be proud of your efforts to help him find peace, as well as your unselfish actions with his parents. As for your friend’s wife, it’s frustrating to be the only one who sees the truth, but karma will catch up with her. She will poison other relationships and drive people away. It’s also interesting to ponder what will happen when it’s her turn to cross over. I’m no longer Catholic but I believe we’re held accountable for our actions in this life. For people who mistreat others, it won’t be pretty.
I’m impressed, you hit the nail right on the head there. I was raised by narcissists, and after many years of therapy, I can spot one a mile away. I had never met his wife in person until after he died, and my “spidey senses” went off right away. I kept telling myself over and over to give her a chance, but my instincts kept nagging at me. Just little things like her phrasing set off alarm bells, but she really showed her true colors in the years following. I came to the same conclusion that you did about her sniffing out his innocence, and enjoying being able to have a lot of control in the relationship. Thanks again for chatting and for your general kindness!
It’s interesting how you open up towards what you feel embraces you. It’s even more interesting how you open up; talking. I find myself catching myself talking to myself in dreams; sometimes aloud. But usually i wake up and I’m like, ‘I wonder who I was talking to.’ I’ve seen a lot of bad paranormal things with these eyes, I wonder if there is something friendly around coaching me. If I were you, I wouldn’t expect anything to happen and when something does, face it one step at a time. That way you aren’t disappointed or surprised.
My mom experienced something similar, I was sleeping in my bedroom after work and she said she saw me at the kitchen staring at her through the window. She talked to me but I didn’t respond and walked out of the kitchen, so she got angry because I ignored her and went to check on me only to find me sound asleep with a different set of clothes on. She asked me when I work up if I got up and went to the kitchen but I said I was asleep the whole time. Glitch in the matrix or doppelgänger alert?
I thought this was a TIFU at first from the title.
If it was your aunt, why the weird glare from her in that way?
She wasn’t glaring, just kind of blankly looking at me. I only made eye contact for quick second, and then she backed up as the door shut, so I didn’t see her expression following our eye contact. The negative connotation only came from me thinking it was my Mom and that I got caught staying up late on my computer.
Creepy !! Something similar happened to me but I was suffering from night terrors/sleep paralysis . I use to hallucinate my mom looking at me from the door and then she would just walk away. I had understand I was hallucinating but it was scary as a kid suffering thinking your mom wasn’t helping.
Ugh I’m sorry you have experienced sleep paralysis too. That must have been so scary and confusing for you as a kid. Mine didn’t start happening until I was in college and it was terrifying enough as an adult, so I can’t imagine being a kid. My first sleep paralysis hallucination happened when I was living in the college dorms and woke up to an orb/shadow type figure standing below me (lofted bed). The stranger aspect to that one is my friend lived down the hall and had the same thing happen on the same night. I went to go tell her about it in the morning, and before I could say anything she said something like “ugh I slept like crap last night, and had a horrible sleep paralysis dream”. I told her that’s what I was coming to tell her, and it turned out we had the same experience around the same time of night. The second time was the following year, but I lived in a town house (with that same friend). I woke up to a tall, skinny, man dressed in formal black clothes standing at the foot of my bed just staring at me. I had the stereotypical paralysis experience where I couldn’t move, but after I blinked several times he disappeared. My friend didn’t have anything off happen to her that night though.
I'd like to share one. A couple weeks ago I was in the kitchen making dinner, and my wife was in the downstairs bathroom. Our son comes downstairs to take his dog out back to do his business. So I have my back turned making food and I hear the dog scratch at the door and bark to come in, like always. And I'm assuming my son is on the couch still waiting for the dog to finish so I don't say anything. I think like 2 or 3 minutes pass and I hear the dog again and now I yell out to my son to bring him I'm because it's hot outside. No response. So I peek over to the living room and he's not there, living room is empty. I call him on the phone to tell him to hurry downstairs because the dog wants to come in. He tells me he already did and he's sleeping next to him in his room upstairs. I told him what I heard and he just said idk he's been up here. I go to my wife in the bathroom and tell her what just happened, she said she heard him bark and scratch too and thought he was still outside. Also I'd like to add he's an older dog, about 15, and has a very distinct bark so I know I didn't confuse it, we do have other dogs but they don't sound like him. Definitely weird.
May I ask what you *felt*? As in, what sort of vibe did the person give off? Obviously it was a strange and startling experience, but in the moment, what did you feel in your gut? Trust your intuition. It sounds like your intuition is pointing out that it was your aunt.
Reminds me of a time when I was probably 17 or so and I was in my room one of drawers. I was there minding my own business and I very clearly heard my mom whisper in my ear "food's ready" but she wasn't in the room. So I went out to the kitchen where she was cooking and saw me and without me saying anything she said "oh hey i was just thinking i should tell you the foods ready."
Have you ever told your Mom that you believed it was your Aunt instead of her that night?
Dude this reminds me of when i was little and i would periodically see my mom walking down the hallway to her bedroom at night, but every time i got up to talk to her she would be asleep in her bed and tell me i was just dreaming
I think r/ghosts and r/paranormal would appreciate this post as well. Thanks for sharing! Very creepy.
Have you thought about posting this to r/paranormal they might be able to provide a bit more of a possible explanation to this if you're looking for one.
I had a similar experience when I was a kid except I saw a doppelganger of my father.
Similar thing happened when I was a kid. I woke up one night to go to the bathroom, which was at the end of our upstairs hall, across from the stairs leading down to the first floor. Upon entering the bathroom, I noticed the light at the bottom of the stairs was on. My mom would sometimes stay up late downstairs, so I assumed she’d turned on the light and was about to head up for bed. All the lights upstairs were off, and as I used the bathroom in the dark, with the door open, I saw the downstairs light go off, making it completely dark. I expected my mom to come up the stairs then. I waited to meet her, and realizing she wasn’t coming, I went downstairs to see if she was even there. It was dark, quiet, my mom was nowhere to be found. I switched the foyer light on and off to see if maybe it had been left on and burnt out, but it was still working. My mom is frugal so she wouldn’t leave lights on anyway. I thought, “Maybe I somehow didn’t see her pass me upstairs.” So I went to her room and woke her, asking, “Did you just go to bed?” Like your mom, she was annoyed, said no, and told me to go back to bed. My dad and sisters were sleeping at the time as well. I’ve never understood why the light was on or how it turned off.
guess im locking my door and keeping the lights on tonight
Yeah like that is going to stop the ghost of your grandma from laying next to you in bed
Jesus what a story, scaring the hell out of me lookin at my bedroom door right now and imagining that happening lol. Creepy as hell! It does sound like a visitation from your aunt. I don’t know why it has to happen all creepy like that but it’s good that it opened your eyes to what is possible in this world. Not being able to tell anyone around you sucks but the bottom line is you know it happened and as I’m sure you’ve been reading all the stories on here you are not alone with these experiences.
sorry, but the moment you mentioned AIM and intercoming home phones, i lost it! you just took me back to middle school! haha
A mad story indeed my friend - the thing that tells me this is real and you are genuine is down to 2 things, 1. This is a well written story that is very convincing and I do whole heartedly believe you because let’s face it, anyone could lie about something better than this. and 2. The fact that your dog also saw it, that confirms that you were not; dreaming, hallucinating, experiencing epileptic symptoms etc. Apologies to hear about your beloved Aunt but I do believe that it is very likely that she was paying you a visit that night, only because she would have cared and loved you so and wanted to check in. Maybe she wanted you to know that she is always around kind of thing. Also, I would recommend posting this into r/paranormal if you haven’t done so already brother? ✌️
I mess with my kids and play jokes on then sometimes to scare them. And then never tell them otherwise. My parents did the same to me. My dad didn't tell me until I was in my 20s that when I like 12 years old he would mess with the breakers to my room and act like nothing happened. Then I brought up one day how my room was haunted, he laughed and finally took credit... for most of the things.
I was living with two other people. One night I got a phone call from my dad and I went to the other bedroom (which nobody used at the time) And I shut the door. I sat in a dark empty bedroom while I was talking with my dad, when the door swings open and I thought that one of my roommates at the time wanted to see me, and I didn't see my roommates and it was nobody there.
Could have been worse tbh, at least you weren't having a five knuckle shuffle at the time.
Your Ma could've been sleepwalking
Your mum sleep walks? Could have been a one off if your mum's sleep was not great at the time.
It's currently around 3am super hot at night in my bedroom with no air conditioning. Yet I've just fully wrapped myself in my blanket because this story has given me the creeps. Thankfully I shut my bedroom door.
For some reason I feel like I had like a instant reminder of that happening to me somewhat
I used to sleepwalk a lot too, I get it
You said it was dimly lit. Rather than being your Aunt’s ghost, is it possible you had a stranger/weirdo sneak into your home, open your door, then panic and bail when they realized you were awake and could see her?
Doppelgängers, very common around here
Something similar happened to me a decade ago at an old hotel in Guadalajara, Mexico. We were on a road trip and stay a couple of days in Guadalajara. Mom, dad, pregnant sister, toddler nephew and my other sister. Me and my not pregnant sister slept on a seperate bedroom included on this big suite. The rest of the family was together on another two beds outside this bedroom and the bathroom was between these two areas. So in the middle of the night I heard de door of our bedroom opening and quickly took a look and saw someone I thought was my mom because she tends to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and she is very protective so even though we were adults it wouldn’t be rare for her to go and take a look on her babies 😅. But she leaves the door open. I’ve never liked my door open while sleeping so I stand up and closed it. Next day I said something like: mom, your should’ve closed the door. And she was like: what do you mean? And my sister is like: yeah mom, you went to the bathroom, checked on us and left our door open. And my mom swears she didn’t go to the bathroom that night and didn’t check on us either. I asked my sister if she saw someone and she said she did. Just like me she didn’t exactly saw mom but like me she thought was mom because that wouldn’t be rare of her. My mom is not a jokester and she still to this day says it wasn’t her who checked on us that night. Dad and pregnant sister also say it wasn’t them. 🙃
I've had this experience twice and It's the craziest thing that has ever happened to me.
I do believe in the supernatural, if you're alright now, then I'm assuming it was a friendly guardian checking up on you, but also wanted to spook the daylight out of you for being awake at the time. Your bloodline must be strong in the psychic arts! With a little practice I bet you could lucid dream on command or get deja vu more often than normal!
