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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I came home late from work. As I got out of my car, I noticed a child-shaped silhouette in my bedroom window. I almost shat myself, since I live alone. I searched the whole house, sobbing in fear, only to find no trace of whatever or whoever I'd seen. FML
Today, I was heading to the bathroom when I clearly saw a little boy walking into my bedroom. My wife and I live alone, and I screamed at the top of my lungs, thinking he was a ghost. Turns out my wife collected him from school for a friend, and I just didn't hear them arrive. FML
Today, I was handing candy to a little boy who was trick or treating by himself. He was small enough to grab the candy and run past me into my house. I've been searching my house for two hours and still can't find him. I'm afraid to go to sleep. FML
Today, in the early hours of the morning, I woke up in sleep paralysis, hallucinating the sight of children hanging from the ceiling. Now I'm scared to sleep. FML
Today, I woke up to shuffling noises coming from downstairs. Suspecting the worst, I jumped out of bed, and whispered over my shoulder for my girlfriend to stay quiet. Only after going downstairs and taking a swing in the dark with my bat did I figure out it was just my girlfriend foraging for snacks. FML
Today, I took a late-night shower. When I got out afterwards, the bathroom door was ajar, and I could have sworn I heard the faint patter of footsteps in the kitchen. "It's probably the cat," I told myself. Then I went upstairs and saw my cat asleep on my bed. FML
Today, after my house almost got broken into last week, when I heard some noises in the kitchen I went to investigate. I saw a huge rat run across my floor, and nearly peed myself thinking it was an intruder. FML
Today, I woke up to noises in my living room. I was scared, but I loaded my gun and snuck downstairs. I burst into the living room, yelled for the motherfucker robbing me to put his hands up, and flicked on the light. My cat stared back at me like I was a moron then calmly walked out. FML
Today, I spent an hour in my car terrified to go inside because I thought my house was being burgled. I saw rapid shadows in the light of my lounge. Eventually I plucked up the courage to creep inside with a rock to find it wasn't a robber. It was my cats, fighting in front of a toppled lamp. FML

OP, I admire you following him. I would have gotten the hell away from there.

Set up cameras, it was probably just a trick of the eye, or you have some paranormal gift.

Shadow people hate light or illumination just keep ur house well lit and if that doesn't work here's what u need to do grab a big can of salt make a circle out of it were y want to be safe this is a weak protection against ghost since if their strong enough they can make a gust to blow away the salt but the most powerful protection is make a pentagram (star inside the circle thing ) and just get inside it the next day go to a church and ask for an exorcism but if u want that u will need proof for the Vatican and the pope so u can film or call a medium I hope this is helpful I tried this when I lived in apartments and at night plates shattered light bulbs exploded banging noises could be heard

And also, a circle with stones will protect from sea bears.

You'll get used to it OP. My house has some strange occurrences but I don't worry about it. Sometimes I hear voices, doors slam shut on their own, things move with no explanation, etc. My roommate has seen it too. Freaked us out at first though.

You're so brave. I would've been like "Oh hell no!" And ran back to my bed, locked the door and hide under my covers until I saw the sun.

Move out why it is a ghost you leave it alone and it will leave you alone. Ghosts get a bad rap with movies that are meant to scare you. I tell you I am more scared of The living than the dead.

My experience with paranormal activity is to ask whoever it is to go away! tell them that their presence frightens you and there isn't anything left on earth for him and they can go on. but this could also possibly be a residual haunt (look up to see a description) and if thats the case the little ghost will be of no harm to you!

I would have moved out that night

My boyfriend's grandmother claims there's a little Victorian-era girl in her house and that it followsher to other places. She says that as long as she doesn't bother the girl, she doesn't do anything. A lot of my boyfriend's little cousins have claimed they've seen her, too. Scared the shit out of me and thought the little girl would follow me home ;-;

My dad was convinced there was a Victorian-era ghost in my childhood home who looked a bit like me. Some creepy things definitely happened in that house though. I remember once I was sleeping in the house on my own, and I woke up to a loud bang, only to find all the posters on my wall had been ripped to pieces. To this day, I still can't explain what happened. Scared the shit out of me though. D:
