Today, the great deal on my new apartment has turned into a nightmare. I keep hearing extremely weird sounds almost every night, and when I tried taking pics of the place today, my camera's face recognition feature kept activating, but only in my bedroom. I'm scared shitless. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I moved into my brand new apartment, only to discover that there is an annoying, constant hum coming from the ceiling above my bed. FML
Today, my new neighbor informed me with great relish that the house I have just bought is haunted because 30 years ago a man shot himself in the kitchen. I'm now paying a huge mortgage on a house I'm frightened to be alone in. FML
Today, I live in a studio and I can hear really weird noises coming from my neighbours, my walls, my floor, and even inside, without knowing what did fall/scratch/move. I seriously wonder if someone lives hidden in the walls. I don't know if I should call the cops, a psychiatrist, or an exorcist. FML
Today, after moving into my new house, I woke up to strange sounds coming from the kitchen. I panicked and started sobbing, convinced it was either a robbery or a home invasion. Turned out it was just my cat. FML
Today, I moved into my new apartment. My neighbor is apparently crazy and thinks I'm trying to 'steal' her husband. She watches me and is super paranoid. I have a two year lease. FML
Today, I went downstairs a little after midnight to grab a snack, and in the dark hallway, I clearly saw a small child walk into the kitchen. I was freaked out, but I followed him in. There was nobody in the room. I'm now too scared to sleep, and am seriously considering moving house. FML
Today, I was walking to the kitchen in the dark. Something caught my eye and I turned to see a man standing in the corner, clear as day. I jumped and closed my eyes for a split second. When I opened them, he was nowhere to be seen. I'm now terrified to live in my own home. FML
Today, less than a day after my cranky downstairs neighbor passed away, I woke up to banging sounds against his apartment ceiling, like the ones he used to make whenever I walked around during the night. I'm shitting myself in fear. FML
Today, the fire alarm keeps going off at my apartment. Not only is the noise ear-piercingly loud enough to wake the entire neighbourhood, there's also a big flashing red light in case the deafening sound isn't enough. This is my day off. It's going on all day. FML
Today, I finally managed to sleep, after two days of being kept awake by the miniature floodlights my neighbors have installed to scare off burglars. Only a couple of hours into my sleep, I woke up to the sound of their car being broken into. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If I were you, I would've moved out by now...I can't take these types of things

Ya... You know, I didn't want to sleep tonight anyways...

Call up a camera crew quick!

time to move out

Low frequency ultra sonic waves (i.e. 18 Hz) have been linked to "paranormal activity". They usually are from a mechanical piece of equipment nearby...

No, but my camera will recognize small faces on pictures, so there is always a chance it's just registering something like that.

So his camera is seeing small faces in his room? What's NOT creepy about that??
Stardew 19
My camera registers faces all the time, no matter what I'm taking a picture of. Sometimes it's just how the shadows are that create a 'face'.
Paris25_fml 11
Sure..."Shadows"
moimoimoi125_fml 11
Aren't ultra sonic waves supposed to be high frequency ?
KeinBaum 12
low frequency sound waves can trigger small hallucinations. Maybe the face recognition wasn't triggered at all. Would be kind of a strange hallucination though. I demand evidance in form of a video.

I think he meant sub sonic...

check out infrasound on Wikipedia...

You get what you pay for.

Unless the ghost is picky.

Call in those ghost hunters...you'll make some money and I might watch actually BIO more often now...

There are local paranormal investigators everywhere. Just Google for one in your locale.

But there will be less publicity...and they wouldn't make a dime...

That's awesome! But how do you pay for your equipment and/or transportation then? If I had a situation similar to OP's (that I wasn't able to handle myself) I wouldn't mind paying a small fee for someone like you & your team in order for you guys to purchase new equipment, upkeep of your old --
puffleprincess 7
--upkeep of your old equipment, travel costs and, of course, your time. (Sorry, it cut off my first post.)

Similar stuff happened to me when I got my first apartment, either call the Ghostbusters or the Discovery Channel, either one might help

Burn dried sage brush. Think pure, happy thoughts and burn it in every corner, closet, doorway, window pane...everywhere. Imagine that you're washing everything with the smoke. Walk slowly and don't forget to think calmly. We've lived in a few "active" places and this helps a bunch. Also, look up other methods. I'm sure a local pastor may help for free.

They need a priest. Have one come over and bless the apartment.
zman0900 11
Sounds like a good way to burn down the apartment or get evicted.

that's dumb. ghosts don't help humans with other ghosts. its the ghost bro code. and before you start Bible thumping and telling about how god isn't a ghost, he is reffered to as "the holy ghost"
Wizzlbang 10
no you're thinking of space ghost

Actually the holy ghost is part of the holy trinity. The father, the son and the holy ghost.
