I worked at a large university in facilities and had a master key. I would use the tunnel system that was under the older part of campus to get between buildings when the weather was unappealing. It was an arched brickwork steam tunnel built by prisoners in the early 19th century. The prisoners manufactured the bricks themselves and laid the tunnel. It was filled with their graffiti etched into the bricks which was super interesting but very spooky.

One day I was using the tunnel and was walking through a section that had access to the basements of old buildings, that because of sinkage and subsequent renovations decades ago, no longer we connected to the building above. The basements were off the main tunnel and were only used for equipment storage during projects but otherwise were old classrooms with blackboards and some old desks. So, in summary, very creepy, old, dusty, and dark, subterranean, abandoned classrooms.
As I was walking past, I definitely heard whispers from one of the classrooms. I am not superstitious at all, but I heard what I heard. So I walked into the room and I didn’t hear it again. Just rows of old dusty desks. I hear it again though as I walk out and then I pinpoint it is coming from under one of the back desks.

I check it out and there is a radio fell off someone’s belt turned way down. One of the other facilities guys was taking a nap, turned down their radio, and slouched down in the seat far enough that the radio clipped off his belt. Nearly had a heart attack.

Ended up just returning the radio but made sure to use the abandoned radio trick a few times to scare my coworkers.

The people who control your life have zero interest in your wellbeing.

Almost told a cop I changed my gender marker on my ID because I took a wrong turn at bureaucratic building. Transphibic country btw

My near death experience was pretty unsettling, took a decade further the dust to settle and kind of fundamentally changed me as a person

One time a pedophile rigged an election for another pedophile so they wouldn’t have to sit there time like normal people

Transparent eyelids. Luckily this didn’t happen on the road. So one day I was laying in bed playing on the Steam Deck, waiting for that wave of tiredness to hit so I could easily fall asleep. Well, when the tiredness finally hit I was driving this truck on a long straight road in the game. My eyes slowly closed and it was as if my eyelids had become transparent. I was still seeing the road crystal clear, still going straight not even noticing that my eyes were shut. After about 15 seconds I open my eyes and the truck was flipped over in a ditch. Freaked me the hell out and showed me how devastatingly easy it is to fall asleep behind the wheel without even noticing.

Sleep paralysis after already having a very real feeling horror nightnmare. And then halucinat these chreatures to be standing at the other end of the room, looking at me. Just staring with their metalic grin.

Another time in the hospital, nobody should be in the station, but yet doors opened and i clearly heard rumbeling from the stafs kitchen. Like someone was searching threw it hecticly.

One time has at a party/event being hosted in an abandoned factory. Me and a friend just wanted to look around. We walked the the building and then we came to a machine hall. The sealing wasnt very high but from the overpas walkway there were, and i kid you not, 3 hangman knot nooses just hanging there!! We just stood there before we said “noooope!!” And walked back to the party as soon as we could.

I visited my brother, his wife and then infant daughter with our parents for Christmas some time in the early 2000’s. He had a small flat so it was packed.

We decided of all the Christmas things to do, we’d watch the exorcism of Emily Rose before we all turned in for bed, and because the flat was so packed I had to sleep on the sofa by myself.

No big deal I thought, until after everyone had turned into their respective rooms one of my nieces toys at the bottom of one of her toy bins started singing, completely unprompted and untouched. It finished its song then started making a child laughing noise before starting singing again.

I hid underneath the blanket and cowered praying that whatever caused it to start randomly making noise would go away. It continued on for what seemed like an age before it finally stopped. When I asked my brother and his wife if anything similar had ever happened the next day, they said any toys in the bins are always turned off before being put away so I’m assuming I either fell asleep and dreamt it or it was an extremely unfortunate coincidence, but it was the closest I’ve ever come to fearing the idea of ghosts etc.
