Scary stories, anyone?
I once (well not once really, but this was -the- creepiest in my opinion) had an encounter with a doppleganger.
I just got home from school that day. Our house is just a small one and back then, the study area was only separated from the bedroom by a set of drawers on which the T.V. was placed on top of, and a curtain.
I got inside and the study area is the one closest to the main door. My dad was watching TV and flicking through the channels. I usually pay my respects to the elder people in the house/compund when I get home but that day I was in a rush to finish a short assignment so I can proceed to leisurely enjoy the rest of the day.
Without changing my clothes, I just said "Dad, I'm here. I'll do my assignments first, I'll be there in a few minutes."
He just kept on switching channels, like he normally does, and I can see he was there because I saw his leg up to his waist from the gap in the curtains. He didn't acknowledge my presence, he just kept quiet, but again.. that's a normal thing for him, being quiet..
I was busy doing my assignments when the main door, just three feet away from me opened. My Dad was there, with a mildly surprised look on his face, and said "Oh, I didn't know you were there already."
I asked him where he was and said he was by the riverside and just got back to the house. There was no way he could have passed me from the bedroom without me noticing, so he must have really been outside all along.
A chill spread through me and I quickly looked at the bed where my "Dad" was switching channels from just a few minutes ago. There was no one there.
I swear this is a real story and by far, it was the creepiest thing that has happened to me. Not my first experience with dopplegangers though.
What's a scary story you have experienced? I'd love to hear about it!

One time when I was younger and still living at home, my sisters and I were using a oujia board. We were asking it different questions and we asked if we were going to have a phone call and it pointed to "yes" and then the phone rang. Then there was one time when my children and I were living in an apartment complex. The lower floor had washers and dryers. My children and I went down to put the clothes from washer to the dryer. When we arrived, the dryer doors were opening and shutting by themselves. We talked to people in the complex and found out that some one was murdered in that area and it has been known that her spirit lives in the basement and people have moved out of the complex because of such weird happenings.

My children (boys) thought it was cool at first, because they are boys and like to play jokes, but when they found out no one was doing it, they freaked out too. We moved away from their after our lease was up. My experiences with spirits have been non violent, they just let me know they're there.

Its very hard to believe. I believe you.. Because i believe in spirits and super natural activities. It also happened to me many times during researching on occult activities. Sometimes got slaped, punched by invisible power. Many many incidents are there..

Mine was way back 2009, I was working nightshift at that point in time in the office. We were only three working at that point.
During the end of our shift, my two officemates had already left the office except me who was still working due to lots of job to finish. So meaning, I was left alone in the office all by myself.
When I was working, I heard something in the background; it was a sound of a bouncing ball. It seems like there was someone playing a jackstone on the table on the left side portion where I was working. When I turned around on the left side, the bouncing ball sound disappeared immediately. At that point in time, I thought maybe it was just in my thoughts or perhaps I am already sleepy, so that is why I am hearing weird things.
That did not stop me from working. I still continued working hoping to finish my work. About 2 minutes later, I heard a bouncing ball again on the table on my left side. It was a bit far away from where I was sitting. My hairs on my arms started to stand up. At that point in time, I thought this is not good anymore, but I was still brave enough at that point in time. For the second time, I turned on the left side and the bouncing ball disappeared. I was not really scared at that point in time because I believe in my heart that we should not be scared on those bad spirits playing around us. We should rather be scared to GOD who is the Almighty Creator.
So, going back to my story, I still decided to continue working. Then for the third time, the bouncing ball came back again. I am hearing it on the background and the sound did not disappear since I did not turn around. So what I did, I did get my phone and recorded it. I was able to record it to let it hear to my other officemate the next day as evidence to what I have experienced.
After recording, I turned around again for the third time on the table where the bouncing ball was coming from and it disappeared. So, I did go near to the table and looked closely on it. I have seen nothing and that was the time I decided to go home instead.
After relating this experience to my colleagues, I found out that the place where our office was located was a place of grave during world war.
It is nice to hear your stories. Happy mylotting and GOD bless.

I wonder what that bouncing ball is though? .

I use to own a stero that was hooked up to surround sound.. It was all hooked up right and the timers and what not were not on.. Every night around midnight The stero would come on and the sound would be maxed out.. no I never listened to the radio that loud at all.. This happened every night... after several nights of being woken up, I figured out that I had to keep it on AUX at all times.. Still every once and a while it would still turn on.. It would be the radio, nothing speific and the channel would be changed... I moved do a couple different places still used the stero; it didnt matter it would still turn on all by itself...

whoa. x_x is the stereo brand new? I wonder why it does that.... and how long has it been doing that?
I feel really creeped out whenever electronics are involved because I've read spirits tend to be much stronger when they get to manipulate physical objects. x_x
I hope it doesn't bother you as much now...

Would you believe it was a demon? Spiritual realm does exist and I have seen pictures of spritits taken with HD cameras that wouldn't be seen otherwise. Me on the otherhand have heard my named called in a warehouse in where I was working. It was loud enough and but no one was back there. Not as creepy as yours but it does happen.

Were you alone when you heard it? x_x and does it still happen now?
I don't know if it was a demon. I didn't feel anything when it was there, it was just there switching channels. It didn't talk to me or harm me in any way... it also left just like that.
I've never had experiences where I took pictures with some other elements in it and I hope I never have to experience that! :D
Thanks for sharing your story! :)
