Halloween Special Questions
Haunted townhouse, in this market?As a child I was afraid of my home being haunted, but as an adult, I would have to be physically attacked and have my house set on fire for me to consider moving from a property with a history of gruesome deaths among its previous homeowners, even if it is a good deal. I'm not sure what I would do in this situation. Would you consider buying a property with this history?
I think there's something in my apartmentI live in an apartment with another family member and we have been experiencing strange noises and occurrences since moving in about a year ago. In July, my family member saw a man in the kitchen and reported hearing laughter and humming at odd hours of the night. I had my own experience of seeing a figure in the kitchen in mid-August. A few nights ago, I heard strange music like a wind-up music box playing from 2am until I fell asleep. Last night, we both heard a girl's voice saying "Are they dead?" and my cat was looking in the direction of the voice. We are both very spooked and do not know what to make of these experiences.
A figure at the end of my bedWhen I was in elementary school, I shared a bed with my sister and our dog. One night, I woke up and saw a dark figure standing at the foot of the bed. The figure had no eyes or face and was entirely in black. I tried to wake my sister up but she went back to sleep. The dog woke up and started growling at the figure, which woke my sister up and she saw it too. We are convinced that we saw a ghost or demon and our dog saw it as well.
This week's feature question on The Advisory:
I have seen hundreds of tall, humanoid creatures with blacked out eyes and jerky movements in the woods in rural areas around Memphis starting around 2020.
The first time I saw them, I was visiting a veteran friend who was living in a camper at the edge of the woods. There were 50 or more of these creatures in a field and at the edge of the tree line.
They appeared to be solid white with solid black eye sockets and moved in a jerky but very slow manner. When I approached them, they looked at me with their empty black eye sockets and I felt more fear than I ever have before.
I have since tried to catch them and failed because they disappear when I get within 5-10 yards and lose direct eye contact for a moment.
They do not appear on video but can be heard and are seen by animals. Only about half of the people I have shown them to have seen them. They are different sizes and group up in "family clusters" of 4 to 5. I have searched the internet and found some similar creatures but nothing that matches them exactly.
I am wondering if anyone else has seen these creatures or has any ideas about what they could be.
