Last night’s post legitimately freaked me out and was looking forward to the daylight update. Truly unsettling that there’s nothing reflective there. Maybe put up some movement flood lights, OP?


p0tatoballs

We have one at the bottom of the garden, in the bike shed. It goes off randomly sometimes but I usually reckon its from a cat.


bubblegumscent

Buy pepper spray, a camera for the outside, some movement lights. Look around if you walk alone, especially before entering. You don't need to do all of those things they're just tips, I'd get the pepper spray because it's always handy to have one


anonymous_gaymer

Pepper spray is illegal in the UK unfortunately.


BallOfAnxiety98

Wasp spray is a good alternative, I'd buy the ones that can shoot up to 10+ feet that has the long nozzle attached to the head of the can. I think it's pretty insane that pepper spray is illegal. Guns I understand, but God damn, pepper spray?


bubblegumscent

Hmm hair spray and lighter 😆


clemdelusa942

And oven spray


RavenSoul69

And is Bear Spray available in a hunting shop in the UK?


anonymous_gaymer

Nope. All irritant sprays are illegal plus we don’t really have hunting shops… and we definitely don’t have bears lol


RavenSoul69

😆 I hear you. But Bear Spray is used for other large animals, too. I obviously need to learn more about your country... lol


missly_

Hunting shop sounds so American lol! As a European, first thing l pictured was uncle Jimbo


MoonStar757

Totally off topic, but why would they make something used for self-defense or to disperse unruly crowds (and safer than rubber bullets or tear gas) illegal? There must’ve been a valid reason which is why I’m asking.


bubblegumscent

Hmmm idk maybe it's possible to keep some in your home. Otherwise its a knife or baseball bat. Idon't know what you do in the UK then, but im sure other people in uk first might have tips...


Ropesnsteel

I heard that they recently banned knives of certain styles and sizes too.


bubblegumscent

Yeah, but I meant inside the home. Have a weapon of some kind nearby


Least_Name_2862

Pepper spray?? Whaaat??? What about cayenne peppers and an aerosol can?? I'll have to do some research on how to get the pepper concentrated and then Into said spray can...I'll be back with the steps


JayFrank1132

Time to Luigi’s Mansion this place!


Kiyoko_Mami272821

Thank you for jogging my memory so I could go remind myself of yesterday’s post! That is definitely the head of something and suuuuuuper creepy. I am looking forward to seeing where this investigation goes!


Queen_Etherea

It’s absolutely 100% just a reflection! Why are people so scared of the obvious? Why do you choose to believe in something that’s not there? This isn’t a zebra, it’s a fucking horse. Also, I 1,000,000% believe in the supernatural because I’ve experienced some fucked up things in my life that couldn’t be chalked up to “science” or whatever as we know it. Story time!! When I moved into my husband’s apartment (then boyfriend), I started having dreams of this black figure. It would always try to drag me out of the apartment and I even once saw it peeking around the corner; I was wide fucking awake and it was not sleep paralysis! I’ve experienced sleep paralysis and knew that’s what it was when it was happening. I had full control of my body and mind when I saw that fucker peeking around the corner. I had enough dreams about it so I told my husband. His face instantly went white and he said, “Wait, are you fucking with me??” I said no… why would I?? I’ve just been having these dreams about a black entity trying to drag me out of the apartment. He told me that every female that’s slept at that apartment has had the same dream. It started with his ex, one of her friends, then his friend from work when she crashed after a party at his place (our then apartment). I don’t know why it targeted females; maybe it thought they were more vulnerable? The last time I had a “supernatural” experience at that apartment was right before we moved out. I was home alone; mind you, it was a TINY apartment. There wasn’t a single inch I couldn’t see if just walked around for 2 seconds. So I’m standing in the kitchen, blinds are all closed, and there’s literally no possible way for anyone anywhere to see where I’m standing; literally impossible! So I’m standing there and all of the sudden I feel someone right fucking behind me. Humans KNOW when there’s someone else close to them; it’s a sense we’ve developed for various reasons. I was so freaked out and I couldn’t move. I had my phone luckily, so I texted my husband and told him that something was in the apartment with me and it wasn’t another human. I told him it was standing directly behind me because I could feel it almost on top of me. He told me to yell that it wasn’t their house and they are not welcome here so I did! I screamed, “Get the fuck out of my house!! You’re not welcome here!!” The feeling instantly went away. So yeah, I haven’t had any black figures haunting me since we moved but have had some crazy ass dreams. All this to say that OP is reaching and there’s genuinely nothing to be afraid of. Please keep taking photos though because I could be wrong! If it persists, please update us but I feel like these things have a way of avoiding being caught.


Luxeru

glass is reflective


Historical_Duck_8238

Right but what was it reflecting? Sometimes things are unexplainable, not all the time but sometimes


Luxeru

Look around the original photo. There is obviously a light source behind the person taking the photo. This light is leaving reflections on all sorts of things. The clock, the hanging lamp, the glasses and bottles on the counter. And in turn those reflections on all the reflected surfaces are then reflecting onto the glass. To the left you can see a reflection of that little wreath on the wall. And what about the other reflections on the glass? Those "eyes"...why would they be "something" when the other small light spots are just light spots. I'm not trying to be critical. I just think that there is a plausible reason for there to be little light reflections.


Sleepy_wolf2

Although this may be a plausible explanation, imo they took two pictures both same angle same spot with the flash and same light behind the photos? Wouldn’t you think the reflection could still be seen through the glass in the sliders? That’s just my question. Or if not what would cause it to be there in one picture to but not in the second? Could it be a weird case of lense flare?


SolaceRests

The light is from the neighbors house spilling through the fence l. It’s creating the pinhole dotsand the soft sphere (the head)


iLaysChipz

They second photo was way different from the first photo. They cleaned off a counter, opened the curtains, and it was at a different angle


leesie2020

Something from the inside.


cumintongue

take another pic at night on the same angle, i think that theres something reflective on your left or behind you

Soft-Reindeer-831

Oh. This was a good picture to have. Now I’m not so certain that it’s a reflection. Are you yourself scared because you saw something, or does it feel like there’s fear and anxiety through the whole house?


p0tatoballs

Both. It just doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel like it should. I have a friend staying with me tonight, I'll post an update at some point.


Good_Cat_4017

Id firstly get some rosemary oil give that a little sprinkle around the entrance some salt and politely tell anything to go away and leave your house as the entities are not welcome. Secondly as you sleep imagine a white light of protection around you. Got these tips from my late step mum she was a Psychic medium. Also it’s Wales I’m up the road in Liverpool and sometimes you do get people casing houses for Christmas presents so if you see something in future call 101 (non emergency police line) they’ll send an officer just to check the area. Hope this helps you feel at ease for both potential scenarios but trust your gut x


Good_Cat_4017

Im not saying it’s anything but when I’ve had this niggling feeling I’ve done these and I don’t think it helps someone suggested last night that it’s “totally normal demonic activity” i think they were joking but that creeped me out too!


NefariousSerendipity

i just recently read a book where the author used the word "niggle" multiple times. this experience is quite "niggling" if one may say so.


Niggling_

Shit, yeah, you’re right. https://preview.redd.it/gv2s1tuc686c1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9222a1fa96c57f64f4bf6a6170eaae4712814bc8

r/usernamechecksout


joeChump

I seriously think you are stressing over less than nothing. Looks like you used flash and there were a bunch of reflective glasses on the counter. It’s just reflections. If you look at virtually any photo taken at night with flash you’ll find stuff like this if you look hard enough. And once you start thinking paranormal then every noise and every shadow is going to play on your mind. Give yourself a break.


AnonymousFartMachine

Yeah, if you look at the original photo, the black and clear bottle has a small white dot on it (likely camera flash) that looks awfully similar to the "eyes" of what people are assuming is something paranormal. Its angle also seems to be lined up with these "eyes". This isn't to say OP didn't catch something paranormal on camera -- maybe they did -- but it hasn't been demonstrated and so the default, rational position is non-belief until such time it is, if it *ever* is. Not one person in the history of mankind has ever successfully demonstrated anything paranormal since our species started researching it; I'll happily change my mind if or when sufficient evidence is provided.


ivyandroses112233

I'm not going to say that I don't believe in this stuff because I absolutely do.. but when I was younger I was obsessed with the paranormal and everything was a ghost or a spirit. Now thag I'm older I've deliberately closed myself off from that stuff and never experience it. I feel it is True that when you are focused on it, it is more intense than if you are just ignoring it


adrkhrse

Self-induced hysteria and the people on this sub are aggravating the situation.


Soft-Reindeer-831

If it paranormal, I hope your friend experiences it too - so you specifically have that validation. Tho, I’m nervous nothing will happen and you’ll feel unsettled. Do you ascribe to any specific spiritual beliefs?


TasteMyLightning122

You mentioned your weed situation in this post. I’d you’re a chronic or heavy smoker, maybe not smoking is part of why you’re on edge?


jewelsjlg

You might try “reclaiming” your home- stand up, and say out loud and firmly that this is your home and any spirits there are NOT welcome and need to leave immediately. I am religious and reiterate sternly that my home and I belong to God and the entities that have invaded are not welcome, but that may not be everyone’s preference. Seriously though, do some research of your own before doing this, because it IS possible this would just piss off a stronger spirit. But on the flip side, spirits can grow stronger the longer they stay, so maybe it’s a chance worth taking. It’s your call but definitely go into it informed.


JonnyEcho

The other reflections are gone too! What do you mean; if anything it’s confirmed that it is a reflection since the other ones also disappeared on the same glass pane too!!


joeChump

What are you seeing that I’m not lol? Literally nothing of any concern there.


iLaysChipz

Rather than a picture, it might be helpful if you posted a video of the door with you backing away from the door, taken at the same time of night. It'll let us get a better sense of how the lights are reflecting in your home


JonnyEcho

He won’t do that cause he knows it’s a reflection.

cumintongue

the reflection could be from something on the wall, but now i think it was from something on the table


Pussypants

Well this has flash so of course it’s gonna be different from the previous one 😅 should try to take one with the same lighting, or a video.


JonnyEcho

The other light reflections also disappeared when comparing the original photo to this one. There were more reflections in that first image too


Polyps_on_uranus

It's from a different location than the origional. Put the camera in the exact placing to duplicate the picture


jason_55904

Did you move the curtain on the left side? All three of your photos have the curtain in a different position.


Luxeru

The lighting is different and the location of the photographer is different and there are less things on the counter.


Luxeru

I don't see anything in this photo


Cheyenne700

Because it’s an update to his previous post. There’s not supposed to be anything in this picture, he’s circling the location that he saw something at in the previous post. If you go to his profile, you’ll see the post he’s referring to!


fairysoire

I’m so confused. What are we supposed to be seeing in the second picture?


iLaysChipz

This is an update to last night's post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/s/dyCpnnllgV OP saw something that looks like a face peeking in and snapped a photo. Apparently shortly after, they looked away for a second and it was gone. Second photo in today's post is where it would've been


p0tatoballs

This is a reference to my [original post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/s/rDmIKHgV5b)


fairysoire

Oh ok! Creepy


CeleryTurbulent

Running out might be to blame. THC inhibits REM sleep and when you dont smoke for a few days, your dreams can get extra spicy. If you smoke ALOT to the point you dont dream. Stopping abrubtly makes you more prone to sleep/dream related issues. I.E Sleep paralysis/uneasy feelings. Even if you were awake but extremely tired. There's a chance you couldve been starting to dream when you were still awake. [https://www.wearewithyou.org.uk/help-and-advice/advice-you/coping-cannabis-weed-withdrawal-symptoms/](https://www.wearewithyou.org.uk/help-and-advice/advice-you/coping-cannabis-weed-withdrawal-symptoms/)


Syphox

as someone who smokes and has taken Tbreaks, yes your *dreams* are spicy. but OP didn’t post a picture of a dream. he posted a real photo. i’ve also never had hallucinations while awake when i quit smoking either.


iLaysChipz

It can cause increased paranoia in certain individuals


p0tatoballs

I barely smoke, I wouldn't call myself a stoner. I smoke at most every other night, and a few puffs of a joint is enough. I don't believe it's withdrawl. And a hallucination doesn't explain how others see it in the photo.


Extension-Piece-9922

It also wouldn't be in the photo at all if it was a hallucination. Unless you're on your death bed & seeing shit, this is not a hallucination.


panicnarwhal

lol right? if you can capture a hallucination in a photograph, it’s probably not a hallucination 💀


Beginning-Fee-917

I'm not saying it is withdrawal, but imo smoking every other night ≠ barely smoking.


iLaysChipz

Another redditor in the last post, u/John_Helmsword, found a matching pattern between the two images you posted yesterday which makes it pretty likely that it was just a reflection. I hope that helps ease your fears a bit. Although, in the image you posted just now, I don't see the source of the pair of reflected lights that was found in the second image. If can find a possible source for that, it'll probably go a long way to setting your mind at ease Source: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/18gwoj9/comment/kd5m0mj/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/18gwoj9/comment/kd5m0mj/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) https://preview.redd.it/aaznb7mg226c1.png?width=480&format=png&auto=webp&s=228fad67020c40139296ecbb5c62db486a0449f0


Ufonauter

This seems correct, but it would be nice to find the actual reflected source for the 'head' the eye reflection makes sense but is that because the glass is reflecting light in a similar way and just happens to line up with a figure? In the previous thread people suggested a christmas ornament as the culprit for the round shape, but OP stated they saw the form before taking a picture, wouldn't the reflection be present so long as op didnt make changes to the environment? Its not like the reflection was only present upon taking the photo, OP makes it seem like it was there before and after, and then when looking again it was gone.


iLaysChipz

It depends on what the light source was, it could've moved or shifted in the time OP took to look down and up, especially if it was coming from a neighbor's house. As for the head shape, it kind of matches the gap between the plant, jugs, and flag. If a light was directed towards that gap, that could explain the shape Still unsettling nevertheless


thecryptidmusic

It's worth noting that the two light sources appear to be in roughly the same location in the evidence pic as they are in the other night pic, regardless of the curtains being closed in the former. So that implies they aren't outside of the door in the background, at least where they appear (3rd door panel from the left). I think that further reinforces the reflection theory, and the reason theres no appearance of eyes looking in in the second picture is because the angle is slightly different.


GeeEhm

There's a wall sconce in front of the window made of frosted white glass that's roughly the same shape as the "head". My other thought is that, when you look at the pic taken from outside there's a black laundry bag hanging just off the patio. Maybe the "head" is a mixture of a reflective light source from the neighbor's window that's being partially blocked by the black laundry bag.


Charltons

That makes sense with respect to other aspects of their story. Specifically how they claim to have seen the apparent demon and got a picture, but then it disappeared shortly after. It very well could have everything to do with angle of viewing. Someone walking along who catches glimpse of a set of eyes, something our brains are very hardwired to do, would take note of it, then procede to move along making the image disappear. I would imagine the first picture is hurriedly taken before they could move out of view of the percieved apirition, only to return to a approximate location to take a follow-up picture. At this point, probably due also to modifications of the lighting, the image is gone. The other factor here is the lighting that made the illusion possible.


joeChump

I’m sorry but there is clearly something super evil there and the only solution is for OP to give their house to me and go and live in a van.


caravandreamer85

There's a mirror on the wall next to the window where the face is I was wondering if it was coming off that onto the window with the flags reflection? If you get me , look at other photo on this thread it shows a mirror on the wall at same height as the face in the glass

Ok-Hunt-5902

Not angry. I think it’s silly. Why are people trying to play it off like I’m angry. Seems like they just are trying to undercut my point with more nonsense this sub sustains itself on. I believe in paranormal occurrences but this and the majority of posts here are just easily seen through as nonsense low effort sub fluff. Enjoy it I guess if that’s your thing.


The_last_avenger

Hey friend, What you posted is definitely creepy. If your not trolling , that's a pretty interesting picture. So I believe in ghosts, paranormal and what have you. If it's paranormal, there's nothing your doing to change that. As I tell anyone with paranormal issues, rule out normal reality first. Human eyes don't typically glow, so it could be a big ass animal, but technology does sometimes distort images so it could be anything including what looks like a person To me it looks like someone looking in your house. If you have a local lawn and garden store, go there and buy some solar patio lights you can stick in the grass. I have a few on my sidewalk and even in my cold climate they work decent. For your patio I would recommend 8 to 10. Point them toward the patio to give you a very good light source. A better option would be a motion light outside. Those also can be solar and I have them. They work great. Next , if your not trolling, go to the police station, show them all the photos and file a report and ask for extra patrol. Police presence usually deters crime. Next, look up your local self.defense laws and see what you can do. Keep a knife, pepper spray, bat with a sock on the end(because if they grab it the sock comes off) , taser, sand, wasp spray, cleaning spray , cast iron, firearm, whatever. Will hurt them or their eyes. In my state I have strong self defense laws and a castle doctrine which allows me.to use deadly force in my home.with legal immunity if it's actually a deadly threat. Other things to consider, get curtains. If you don't have them tac some sheets up. I will warn you that if it is a serious stalker, they may make them take a step further like enter or climbing up to other windows. You need to mentally prepare for that and have an active safety plan. Another idea would be to find some medium size breakable sticks. Scatter them near the patio and windows. It make allow you to hear someone uninvited and you can see they broke them in the day time . Also a simple fishing line trip line with bells that rattle or cans could be effective. If it's windy you'll probably freak out though. Get a trail camera or 2. Maybe a ring camera . Photo and video evidence is key. Lock your room at night , put in a few window Jams and secure your house. Also get a high power flash light. Next time shine that sob right in the eyes and blind em. If it's paranormal, and is causing issues . You'll have other things you may want to do.


iLaysChipz

Thought it might be interesting to overlay to the two images, so I put the images together in a gif. I had to apply a *perspective transform* to the daylight image to get it to fit. Doesn't explain the eyes or face, but the pixels that appear to form a hand is probably just the branches from the tree. https://i.redd.it/94w5ydd4726c1.gif


Empty_Opposite5371

This is great! There are several other sets of “eyes” and lights in the original photo. As creeped out as I was at first, it really was probably a reflection of someone’s outside porch lights on the glass. The tree gave it shape.


kakashisen7

Left top right? They might just be light reflections?


iLaysChipz

Oh from the string lights? There is a skylight window up there too. Definitely high potential for that to be the source of reflections for the eyes


Empty_Opposite5371

It’s either that or there are several demons wanting inside OP’s home 😜


Empty_Opposite5371

Yeah, I count 4 total sets of “eyes”/lights.


Zyllian1980

That clears it up. You can clearly see it the branch of the tree. Your imagination will take over with the fear, if you don t see this overlapping images. I think you debunked it, at least in my view.


iLaysChipz

Same gif but with a smoother transition *Processing img 3152vl6tb26c1...*


Legal-Wrangler5783

Well done.


Michigam

That is amazing


PansexualPineapples

Please be safe OP. I really don’t know if it was a person, a reflection or something paranormal but regardless make sure all the doors and windows are locked at night and close the curtains. Tell someone you know about it so if anything else happens you have someone who’s already aware of the situation and can help you. If you can, get some cameras to watch your yard specifically around where it was and please please please do not go out of your house alone at night. Thats how people die in horror movies. Maybe try to get some sleep though even if it’s hard because people who are sleep deprived are not the most functional or aware of their surroundings. I hope your doing okay (:


sam_drummer

It’s a window that causes reflections. Like the multiple other reflections existing in the same original photo. Just because two look like eyes peeking around a corner, it doesn’t make them a ghost and the others NOT lots of other eyes. It’s also more likely an actual living human than a ghost if it is eyes. But also, it’s a photo of loads of reflections. Enabling anybody, let alone OP, to mentally travel further into fear and telling them it’s a ghost or a shadow figure or whatever (when it’s demonstrably just lots of reflections) is silly and pretty out of order.


Silver-Syndicate

Exactly. Was also going to point out as well that they ran out of weed. Now I'm not judging, you do you, but when you take a drug, and I mean any drug especially ones that affect your emotions, the side effects of not taking it can be bad, and paranoia is one of the main causes of not smoking weed when you've been doing it in the past. Hell, I'm on anxiety meds, I missed some doses a while back and felt like someone was watching me constantly. It sucked, but it wasn't paranormal, it was my brain trying to figure out how to balance itself once the drug it was used to getting was taken away.


thenorwegian

Thank you. Surprised you didn’t get crucified like I did last night. So many irrational people on this sub.


Adventurous_Fly1879

She said the eyes disappeared after she took her eyes off of the door for a second. That if true is what would scare the hell out of me. But only she knows that for sure. So reflection or not as it seems to us, bares no comfort to her if the eyes actually moved.


sam_drummer

They _think_ they moved. But we’re all here giving real/logical explanations, and OP is still choosing that it might be ghosts. At some point, it’s just about internet points…


flclhack

just want to say that sleeping in your kitchen or in your shed and trying to catch something spooky will absolutely mess with your anxiety and rationalization centers, making whatever unease you feel much worse. with no other evidence or experience, please try to live your normal life and not turn this into trauma for your brain.


SpookyBjorn

Sorry you're dealing with this! This is exactly why I HATE windows and never want a home with big widowed doors or bay windows. It's just too easy for something/someone to watch you or break in. Make sure everything is locked up at night, you can hang loud bells or something heavy and loud from the door handles so of they're turned, the items slide off and make a loud noise on the ground to alert you. Honestly I'm torn 50/50 between it being a coincidentally creepy light reflection, or a neighborhood peeper. Either way, can't blame you for being scared. If you want you can notify the police that you think somebody was creeping around your yard, they'll probably ptril the area for a bit each night which I'm sure would help you feel safer and hopefully deter any potential thieves until the holiday season is over.


Queen_Etherea

It’s 100% pareidolia. I don’t know why you want it to be something it’s not. Isn’t the better answer the logical answer? I commented that the same could be said for the lights on the right side (which no one else mentioned) because to me, it definitely looked like a creature of some sorts. Be happy with the knowledge that it was just a weird reflection of the lights! If you see it again, ok maybe cause for concern, but a once off like you experienced should be shaken off as our brains being assholes to ourselves (which yes, they will do!!).

Similar to the other small pinhole lights on the right side. Maybe the “head” is the light actually striking the glass forming a kind of abstract gleam. With that said, yeah still creepy af.


ErudringTheGodHammer

OP, can you possibly post a couple of photos of the inside of your kitchen again but facing in the opposite direction? If that was just a reflection we were seeing, whatever object it was should be easily identifiable in the foreground. That being said, I’ve looked at your pictures a few different times now and aside from the one tidbit u/ilayzchips found (good work btw mate), I’m really not seeing much here to give a solid confirmation


SnarkNStitch

I think it was a reflection of the flash from one of the bottles on the counter. If you look at the bottles, there's one with a flash reflection that's very similar to the 'face' reflection in the window/door. There are also other flash reflections in various places on the window that don't look like a face so they're not remarkable in our minds.


EatShitBish

Sometimes, I think people are so desperate to believe this stuff is not real, and to prove it fake that sometimes their explanations make much less sense than it probably just being a ghost or a djinn. I saw your post the other day, and it scared the crap out of me. Even if it was a stranger peaking in, that's a pretty weird angle for anyone to be standing in, but also, there's stuff in the way, so it makes that idea even more unrealistic. I 1000% believe you caught a ghost. No human is going to wait long enough for a picture of their face to be taken.


Yanos47

I think it's time for you to get some cameras. There are a lot out there that are affordable. With motion activation and night vision. I have 4 cameras around my house and caught weird stuff.. Give it a shot. Hope things get better for you..


ASDowntheReddithole

I kinda thought it looked a bit like a barn owl - don't think one could have perched on that vine to peer in that way, though. Maybe some other nocturnal bird that got intrigued by a reflection in the window?


FiddleheadFernly

So OP it’s Christmastime and chances are it was lights in the neighborhood reflecting off of another window. You have almost one wall full of glass. Lights bouncing off glass can look distorted


pineapple_cmd22

put up security cameras around the house (porch, backyard, etc) check door locks, window locks every lock in the house, if you can't get a firearm, maybe other kind to protect yourself? Idk like a baseball bat. You don't know what else lurk during the night so arm yourself with other if guns are an exception


MantisAwakening

The truth is that stuff like this happens much more commonly than people realize. The skeptics would have you believe that every single anomalous photo taken since the history of cameras is either fake, or pareidolia. They ignore the huge volume of data that accompanies these kinds of experiences. Here’s Dr. Jim Segala talking about a variety of correlative data he’s recorded associated with paranormal occurrences (such as seeing shadow beings), which include anomalous gamma radiation spikes: https://youtu.be/D2mahcN-VI0?si=bjJG36sOx3ZYkMh4 Even if what you photographed is paranormal, you generally don’t need to give it much thought. I know the idea that these kinds of things exist can be hard to wrap your head around (consider it a free ticket to ride the Ontological Shock train), but the reality is that you likely won’t experience anything else. If you do, it’s likely to be benign experiences such as knocking.


Silver-Syndicate

I agree to an extent, however you can't toss out data when comparing data. You need both from both sides of the field in order to have a valid conclusion. Pareidolia is real, so is audio matrixing, visual matrixing, and other strange phenomenon within the human mind that just happens for no apparent reason, or due to us being flawed as a whole with ages old instincts and other things that have passed down from various blood lines, or due to outside influence. The "human condition" is in many ways more paranormal than the paranormal world itself, and any good investigator or anyone studying parapsychology/cryptozoology lives by one simple rule: "When in doubt, throw it out." Because in order for something to be proven, it must also be undoubted Sometimes a "haunting" is a haunting of one's own consciousness, coming from within. Our minds love to play games with us


lunebee

Hi OP, I’m sorry you’re dealing with this and feeling uncomfortable in your home. Not nice. There’s a possibility it’s a reflection or something outside, but that doesn’t explain why it vanished without you moving. The good thing is, it was outside and not in. Can you try to pick up a security camera from Curry’s or BnQ tonight or something? [Also I found this to reinforce doors.](https://amzn.eu/d/i4WELDG) Might give you peace of mind tonight. Also, not quite on topic but just wanted to say your home looks really nice and cosy :) I like the chairs. I hope you can feel a bit more relaxed tonight. Maybe light some candles and put on a funny film to change the energy a bit.


Ijustwanttosayit

All I know is that the spooky eyes or face peering over the side photo or video is the most overdone trick in trying to convince people of a haunting.


Scared-Huckleberry64

I really wish I could offer you some comfort. You have a lovely home, and I'm sorry you don't feel comfortable in it anymore. I'm hopeful this is something you can confidently de-bunk and put behind you someday. Living with anxiety is a tough way to live. Please be safe.


Laazuli

Literally just close the curtains babes


JonnyEcho

Lameee buddy your pictures show clear reflections. Even the other light reflections disappeared in your second photo.


Ok-Coffee-4254

Get some out light there is cheep solar power one you just stick in ground. That is a lot glass and it is very unsettling looking out into nothing. Curtains would help two but if on budget you get solar power small like very cheap they help take the felling out looking out in black away. I say it was probably some kind animal you seen a cat or rat . Or something All so I see you smoke weed and have not had it in few day weed can make you paranoid and if your smoking ever day and stopped that might be why felling so unease. Staying up all night try see what it was as well is going give poor sleep and add the the negative energy your feeling . I would recommend getting good night sleep and add some light two out side..


whitew0lf

I’d be less scared if it was something paranormal and more if it was someone watching me. My grandma always said, “the dead can’t hurt you.” Get cameras, shut those curtains at night, and make sure that’s a sturdy enough lock.


Kitty60088

I must admit, I haven't been able to get your first post out of my head all day. However, looking at it again, I do think it is a reflection of light. Still, please make sure your doors and windows are locked, even when you are in. Crime rises this time of year. I hope you find peace in the majority of these comments.


Arkansasbambeefawn

Also if you have a fence and gate, lock the gate. Turn on all outside lights and a light in at least one front and back window to deter any ne’er do wells. Also might try sprinkling baby powder or corn starch on the concrete where someone may stand. If a dog is available, borrow him for a couple days. If it were me, I’d turn on a radio on a talk station and place it under a window to perhaps simulate that someone is home. Also I’ve downloaded an app of all kinds of dog barks and would be ready to click the meanest sounding ones every so often and especially if I hear something outside. And yes I’m paranoid. Wasp spray can be sprayed for quite a distance and could be more readily available for protection than mace or something if in a bind.


Strong-Crab-7635

Honestly, closing the curtains always helps me feel better. I read somewhere one time that leaving curtains open at night is like inviting something in. Just a suggestion, I hope it all goes well


DrunkenAdama

My guy, In the original image i see nothing that even suggests a face. I do not understand the panic here. There are a million things it could have been. A fucking ghosty is the least likely thing.


lryan926

There's no possibility that the close pin bag wasn't hanging on the left side rather than where it is in this pic?


ABigBoi99

Sit on the couch, wait for it to show up again, beat it the fuck up, enjoy your infamy amongst ghosts and sell video proof of your supernatural MMA match


DookieShoes626

No matter what really happened i think you are getting to caught up in your head and your scaring yourself more than anything


lonelystonerbynight

I would suggest a CCTV camera in the kitchen or aiming down at the back door. I got a fear of exposed windows at night so my windows are always covered come dark


caravandreamer85

There's a mirror on the wall next to the window where the face is I was wondering if it was coming off that onto the window with the flags reflection? If you get me , look at other photo on this thread it shows a mirror on the wall at same height as the face in the glass and the face is same reflection of what the flags look like on the window closest to them.


zotstik

All right then so you have a feeling that something is there and you might just be right! so what are you going to do? I suggest getting some good sage not white. white sage is so bad it just smells bad. Paulo Santo is also a good one to use. you can recite something from the Bible. you can recite something positive and happy and go through the whole house. leave one door open, close every other door and flush it out. see if you don't feel better after that. and definitely tell it to get out. it's not wanted here unless it is light and love it needs to leave


mikareno

Question: Was the metal-looking table, or stand, knocked over before you saw the thing at night?


JayTalonWulfbane

I would advise going down to your hardware store and getting something that can be used as a good bonk stick, any one ask just say it for a home project.


MoonStar757

Regardless of whatever anyone else says, always trust your own instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, trust that feeling and do something to make it right. If you feel like you should get out, run. If you feel like you don’t want to go home, spend the night elsewhere and return when you’re feeling better and gauge the vibe then. Whatever the case, listen to your instincts and don’t question them. Intuition can save your life.


fenriskalto

Glad you updated, OP. I don't think you'll see anything come creeping round tonight, but if you do go the shed plan route have your mate there just in case. Also, if it's not going to rain round your way tonight you could always sprinkle a bit of flour down and see if you get footprints come morning.


Savings_Lengthiness3

What's on the other side of this? Just incase it was a reflection x https://preview.redd.it/rji7qcy4q36c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dbe6b941bf81647a3539f7ff3c8c6348edd24bf5


Smasher31221

It was a reflection. You need to chill out.


Catqueen25

Could it have been some branches from the plant?


ArymusDesi

It is always worth double checking that the carbon monoxide detectors are working and that there is absolutely no possibility of mould in the house or in foods eaten. Both are strong potential reasons for very strange, paranoid feelings that are not actually 'entitys' or such. Weird when you don't know but makes sense once you do.


QueenCobra91

i looked at your previous picture and i am a very sceptical person, but there is definetly something in the window. i do not say its an entity or whatever, could be creep maybe, but its definetly an eerie sight


loosetea123

Just seen this and your other post- definitely freaky! I’m from uk so I know no raccoons etc but based on eye glow it’s not a human - our eyes don’t do that- I was just thinking could it have been an owl? Would explain the round head, eye spacing and it could have perched in the plant near your gutter looking in sideways possibly?… you can get trail cameras pretty cheap on Amazon (night cameras hi def that activate with movement) that might pick something up? You could put one at bottom of your garden facing towards the house?


rynibun

Left last night's thread hoping it was just a reflection of some sort or maybe a stray cat... However, if this turns into a series of strange activity, I'm here for it. (Sorry OP) On another note witnessing that this is an average garden makes it a bit creepier, as a forested area (IMO) would make the eyes slightly more dismissible even in the absence of possums and raccoons.


Leading-Midnight5009

Just in case put salt at every window and doorway and get some bells usually small church bells. Also you could try bless oil (it’s just oil prayed over by priest) also cameras I’m not religious but the bless oil helped me sleep as a kid it made me think I was safe lol


210fatty

I agree with this.. maybe try a spiritual cleanse for the home as well. It’s nothing but skeptical people in this sub saying it’s fake


ollziemollz

Maybe it could be paranormal, but I would fear it is an actual person or stalker. Perhaps start closing those curtains on the doors and put some curtains on those left windows too.. make sure you keep your doors and windows locked!


Yosemite_Yam

The clamp on your gutter is titled towards the window as if something was standing on it. Badgers and short eared owls (both of which have similar head shapes as the picture you posted last night) are native to Wales. Given the angle of the head, I feel like an owl may have been perched there peeking into your window. The eyes were reflective which doesn’t happen with humans so if I’d have to bet it was an owl or a demon, no in between


Elegant-Ad4219

Salt your doorways, and window ledges to begin with. Then find a cast iron fireplace poker, or real wood bat for intimidation. After you salt the entry points to the house, order it to leave and not ever come back, or it will get the poker/bat to the side of the head (glowing eyes or not.)


EntranceUsed6225

You thought about installing a camera on the outside wall facing the door? A ring camera would do the trick just something to observe for a bit


SmokingFoxx

Saw your freaky ass image from The night.. I would be installing curtains today… permanently frosting the windows or even gluing news paper down. I don’t invite freaky shit into my mind or soul lol those eyes made me feel disturbed


BlastersDiscoveries

The basic of'em all is that, when you feel this weird shiver inside of you. While on it, if you could smell a subtle fragrance of lavender... contact through private message.


princessbutterbutt1

Could it be an owl? Seeing that there is a vine growing next to the window, a smallish owl could possibly perch and peek. They can look freaky in dark photos.


chloeismycat

Get a baseball bat? Also close your curtains at night and leave on the kitchen light


solsol-

I see you wrote a a different post, i just see the tree is shaped like an witch "A" symbol of air. Nothing you need to be worry about i promise. 💯❤️ If you saw something, just tell it to go away you be fine sending positive energy ✨😻✨😺✨


Cresta235

There seems to be other similar reflections on your door. If it’s there again tonight then you know it is a reflection or a returning zombie.


NotGhostXV

maybe get a cheap security camera? Just incase another skinwalker tries to visit again.


Alarming-Ad-5143

Close the curtains from now on. Problem solved


madtraxmerno

I know it might be scary to do, but could you possibly have someone stand in the same place at night and try to replicate the photo? Because I feel like the proportions of the face aren't quite right, so I'd be interested to see how a normal person's face in the same spot compares to the original "figure". More importantly though, I know it might seem like a big ordeal, but just to be safe you should contact your local police if you haven't already. You have hard evidence, and even though it's not necessarily conclusive, just bringing the concern to their attention can do *a lot*. For example... 1. Reporting the situation will create an official record of the concern, which can be valuable if things escalate or if there's a pattern of similar incidents in the area. 2. They can offer advice and/or practical steps for improving home security or methods to gather evidence, such as using security cameras. 3. Sometimes just reporting incidents like this can lead to increased patrols in the neighborhood, which can act as a deterrent. 4. If you manage to gather more evidence later (like camera footage), having an existing report can expedite the police response and investigation.


SpeakMySecretName

It looks like it belongs in r/crawlersightings. Idk if it’s a reflection or a figure but I totally understand why you’re freaked out.


Truthseeker-1982

So I haven’t read through all the comments so forgive me if this has already been suggested…but I would go buy what we call a “game camera” in the US (used to put out to take pics of deer on hunting properties) and put it in a place right outside your back door where it will pick up whatever was there in that spot. You can buy them on Amazon or at any hunting/sportsman shop. Basically, they have night vision and they are activated my movement - so whenever something comes up in it’s sight line it will snap a photo and then send it to your cellphone with a photo and alert. If you unbox it gently and decide not to keep it after a couple weeks you should be able to return it and get your money back. As a student that would suit your purpose without spending a lot of money. You’d have to pay it or charge it up front and then return. Here in the US you can get a decent one for around $150. Good luck. Keep us updated. Another thing- if you are renting- you could ask the owner if they ever had any trouble similar to what you are or maybe ask previous owners- doesn’t mean they will tell the truth but you could ask.


Far_Ad_5350

That’s a haunt. Try smudging the place and leaving a bowl of sea salt next to your bed. If this entity is going to be salty, so are you. Just remember, it can’t hurt you.


wazmoenaree

Get a motion light and plug it in if you don't have a fixture there. If you have prowlers I can assure you that they are closer to you than you think. Like next door like mine, were stealing my car stereo and selling dope. Daddy was oblivious. And daddy showed up visiting a neighbor I had in a whole different place, years later. I came out and said "well we'll look who's here". Scared the crap out of him. Neighbors can SUCK real bad. Rottweilers cause then to drop flashlights and leave them in your stockade fence yard. Yes that's how stupid it gets.


Business-Bus-9987

Moim zdaniem powinieneś zainwestować w kamery albo pójść do medium, najlepiej szeptuchy.


lilrexxy33

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but get a security camera and aim it at the door


owninggenie23

Correct me if I’m Wrong, But don’t Owls Have reflective Eyes? It kinda looks like an Owl head peaking around a corner and maybe when he Took the Picture it took off.


Crafted_cerebrum

Play Christian worship music on the radio. Spirits don't like that. Trust me.


SleepyheadAsmr

I wanna see if ya catch the thing on camera 👀 I didn’t believe in this shit until I was face to face w one myself, freaky shit man.


Eko777

If we can figure out the source of the much less creepy, vaguely triangular shaped thing on/in the window, it might help find what the "head" is. Because i see nothing in the house daytime photos that could translate to that weird shape. Nor can i think of anything to explain it. The only reason the triangle blob isnt giving anyone anxiety is that it doesnt look human. Who said supernatural had to be human eh? Btw posts with huge discussion and investigation and team work like this are one of the bigger reasons i still love reddit. Nice work guys youre amazing! OP: anxiety is a bitch. Maybe stay at a friends house for a few days, or ask them to sleep over and as close as is comfortable so you can actually get some rest? Lack of restful sleep is not only likely to increase pareidolia, but also make you more vulnerable to mental attacks (otherworldly or human).


Kayki7

What is the hatch on your patio to the right there? Is it like a storm cellar? A crawl space? Could someone potentially squat down there?


leesie2020

I never know what I’m supposed to be seeing in these photos. 😐


JTC8419

Yeah ya live in Cardiff butt, it's probably a break in attempt


Rasnark

I read that you have a heavy feeling in the house. I’m not a religious person but I’ve experienced pretty unusual things that I could not explain. I’ve felt very negative energy and a lot of rage. (I have an uncle who is a medium and went through some crazy shit with his daughter, me cousin). I’d recommend getting some rosemary and soaking it in water with some rubbing alcohol (70% water, 30% rubbing alcohol), then walk around your house dabbing your index finger and middle finger together and pray “our father” and “bless” the house. Flick your hands in a cross motion. Just keep reciting it over and over until you basically “mist” your entire house with it. Good luck buddy


GlitteryHeartThrob

>I'm not in a rural area. I live in the middle of town near a large city. Don't you forage for mushrooms in a nearby forest? Either way, I don't buy this and I don't think you buy this, and there's no reason to make so many posts about it. You're not adding new information. If you see it again then post again. With video.


periloustrail

Ran out of weed a+


TheCreepyCupcake

That’s extremely scary. You have the feeling for a reason, please trust your gut. I saw your post last night and even mentioned it to my boyfriend because it creeped me out so much. I would like to keep posted with your current process, please. You are in my thoughts. I am in the US or I would offer help any way I could. If you are able to find a friend and stay in the shed, I would like to see what you all come up with. I was a little suspicious when you mentioned having a shed. Do you check inside often or is it always locked? Just thinking because that could also be a good hiding place for a creeper..


ShamedUuu

I've captured the same type of entities on security camera. It's just my speculation based on some past happenings but, I don't believe that they are good. I think they usually show themselves to people who are more psychic than others. Also to people who might have suicidal tendencies or anger or drug problems. Theres usually a tall entity accompanied by a grey/human looking child entity and a mama and poppa entity (Sounds Crazy Right). Did you hear voices when you saw them?


Fishbate333

Check again tonight to see if it’s recreated. I personally would be blessing the area and telling any spirits to leave. Those are not human eyes.


iLaysChipz

Yeah, someone mentioned last night in the other post that humans don't have the reflecty thingies in the back of our eyeballs in the same way that animals do. So they wouldn't be shining back like that in the dark. Pretty spooky haha


VikingHoardWanted

You could get a couple of secruity cameras and led flood lights, set them up so that any movement triggers the lights and the camera records the movement, also try closing the curtains, they/it can't see you, you can't see them/it. There are some weird people in the world that are love to look into other people's houses etc, closing the curtains takes that opportunity away... Good luck


Soggy_Waffle303

Whether it was paranormal or otherwise, I’m a firm believer that we should trust our guts because usually there’s a reason we are feeling unsettled. If it has gone beyond just being spooked by a photo, trust your instincts and take care. Follow the advice being given and try to debunk it. I wish you the best and hope it all ends up being nothing more than an interesting story.


hazbean42

I checked your post and it seems similar to something a friend saw once. So it could either be a spirit of some kind or a nocturnal animal. You do have the pipe it could have hung on to and also the eyes were quite large so could have been an owl. Wales gets some badgers to do might have just been animal being curious. But don’t discount how you feel about your experience. When something feels wrong or off it usually is


C_Gina_Robinson

This is why people have curtains.


ShamedUuu

Also taking the triangles off of your window may help possibly.


Crafty-Post572

See if it's there again tonight?


Mustard-cutt-r

You sound paranoid tbh


Scorpioism35

Could "it" have been standing on the propane tank and looking into the window? The height looks about right.


carguy31

Lights from the house behind you as seen through a fence.


musicgoddess

That is absolutely chilling


imahyummybeach

Whenever something feels off around my house i use salt and put it around the lines of my window and doors then carry or leave one near me so I could throw it at whatever is out there haha Blast loud music etc, I don’t wanna look or seem weak cause if i seem scared it intensifies. If you have holy water that would work too.


EcAbsoul

Make sure doors are locked and you don’t have any mirrors openly facing doorways or beds as this can alleviate the activity. Trust your gut.


hiveangel

I’m thinking a curtain, so they can’t see in if it is something indeed. We also have some thing that we lean against doorhandles at my house to keep doors from being able to open, not sure how helpful that would be given that the doors are glass.maybe get pepper spray if you can?


Wise_Ad_253

What happened after you snapped the photo of this thing you saw outside? Did it leave? Was it still there after you it’s photo? How long was this partial image of something there for before you decided to take its photo and how long were you standing there after taking its photo?


Big_Lawfulness4883

I remastered both of your photos and I want to ask, on the second one , is that blond with the pony tail your own reflection?


muttmama

I’ve legitimately thought about this post all night and all this morning. I had to get up in the middle of the night and was thinking about you lol please keep us updated if you see anything else


Competitive_Bad5295

This is a beautiful dwelling pad!


blxrrysoul

I just came to say that as an architect I can confirm that glass wouldn't have reflected just an specific point into the door. If it would've been glass you wouldn't see a little point really defined, but more of a little star-like point. It wouldn't also have a head above, it would just be a twinkle in the glass. Don't stay there alone, and get some kind of protection against spirits to put in your spaces and entrances, it should help.
