otherworldly

I believe I have when I was younger. I used to see figures in the darkness peering at me from around the corner of the hallway. The figures weren’t human but more like silhouettes resembling humanoid beings. They didn’t appear evil or good, just there, observing and existing.

In the same house, we had very low profile carpet that felt like solid flooring, similar to those industrial rugs you see at places like the bank or hospitals that are very low but still a form of carpet. You could sometimes hear footsteps the same as it sounded when running down the hallway barefooted.

My parents’ bedroom had an old style mattress that you could audibly hear the springs when you applied pressure to it. We would often hear it going off when in the other room, sounding the same as if someone were sitting on it or getting up.

The home used to be a residential home for the elderly when they were close to death. Similar to one of those facilities, but this was an actual house. Part of me wonders if these were spirits of those who had passed on here and haven’t left the area.

My dad passed away in this house too and the only thing that made me wonder if he is around was hearing the wind chimes outside on a day that wasn’t windy. My dad believed in “ghosts” to some extent, so I fully believe that if they are real, he would make every attempt to make contact with us in this form. It made me wonder if that was him because it was strange to hear the chimes going off when there was no wind. This wind chime doesn’t normally sound except in winds and it also only occurred when I walked past on this particular day.
