Hey everyone,

I’m not someone who usually believes in paranormal stuff. I live in an 11-story apartment building, and until recently, I’ve never experienced anything I’d consider abnormal. I’ve always felt comfortable in my home.

But this past week, a few weird things happened — and I can’t stop thinking about them.

The first thing happened one morning. Because it’s hot, I usually sleep with the windows open. As I woke up and reached to close the window, I glanced at the building across from mine. I can see the rooftop of that building very clearly from my room.

And that’s when I saw someone standing up there.

But… it didn’t look like a normal person.

Even though it was a bright, sunny morning, this figure looked completely black, like a shadow — no visible features, no clothes, no face, nothing.

It stood still for a moment, then slowly walked away toward the inside of the building and disappeared from view.

I was stunned. I thought maybe I was still half-asleep, but I was definitely awake.

Ever since then, I’ve been carrying my phone around more, hoping I’ll see it again and catch a photo. So far, no luck.

The second thing happened later the same day.

I was walking through the hallway and about to knock on my sibling’s door to say something. As I stood there, I heard clear footsteps behind me — like someone had just walked past.

For a second I thought, “Maybe mom’s home early?”

But then I remembered: my mom was working a night shift and wasn’t supposed to be home until late.

My sibling hadn’t left their room either. I stayed in my room for the rest of the day — not gonna lie, I was genuinely freaked out.

That night, I told my dad. He just brushed it off and said I was probably tired or imagining things.

But then, the third thing happened.

Around 11:15 PM, I was in my room. My computer was completely shut down.

Suddenly, the screen turned on by itself.

The desktop appeared, showing the time: 11:15 PM.

No updates, no mouse movement, no explanation. The screen stayed on for a bit, then just turned off again.

I don’t know how to explain all this.

There’s no obvious “threat,” and I still feel mostly safe… but it’s like something is just off.

Whenever I go to close the window now, I can’t help but check that rooftop again.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Like, seeing someone where they shouldn’t be? Or strange sounds and electronics acting up without cause?

Any thoughts or experiences would be really appreciated.
