I stated before that I believe in ghosts/paranormal beings existing.

I also know that many if not most of these events are directly influenced by my stance on this.

Still they're scary as f***.

The first one happened while I was waking up. I read a lot about sleep paralysis, and thought it was an interesting thing (still think so).

I'm normally not someone to remember dreams, but some weird or disturbing ones stand out.

Well, that dream almost left me, but I remember I dreamt of a being in my room.

I always sleep with a purple light on, for the sleep aesthetics and because I'm scared of sleeping in the dark(/ω＼).

Well anyway, I saw my room coated in purple light, as usual, but I also saw the most cliche horror creature there. It was literally just a black shadow.

When I eventually woke up from something, I was too afraid to look, because I felt that shadow near me. Not just a feeling like "Oh how scary", but a serious feeling of dread.

The second thing was fairly recent.

We were in our school building while no one else was there (We had a permission so it's not that bad).

We have a big building made out of bricks. It has this american high school vibe, which is fairly uncommon for german schools.

Anyway, it has a long hall leading to several classrooms, including mine.

On this faithful day, as no one had entered it in hours, the lights were turned off.

My friends thought it would be a good idea to "explore" the building.

I directly said "f*** this" and stayed outside while they went in.

Being basically alone on the school grounds already was eerie for me. But while they were away, I saw faint shapes in windows. A few seconds after they began appearing, my friends came running out of the door and said "there was someone!".

Now that I think about it, obviously it was a guarding teacher, but I thought it was something worse.

If I can think of more I will probably post it, but that's all for now
