Hello all, this is my first Reddit post :) I have been researching and investigating the paranormal since 1998 (20 years ago!). Here is one example of the many experiences I have had with the paranormal.
My childhood home was not haunted, but I did open the door to ethereal entities through use of an Ouija board (not at all recommended!) when I was about 9 years old, and it seems that spirits have followed me around my entire life since then.
When I was around 14 years old, my parents both worked full time, and my younger brother (then 9 years old) would have regular play-dates after school. There were many afternoons after school when I would come home and have the house to myself for a few hours. On several occasions I would be in my bedroom on the computer, with my door open, when I would hear my father shout "Helloo!" as he always did when he got home from work. He always extended the "o" at the end of the word in a sing-song kind of manner. And every time I would hear him I would jump up and rush to the front door to greet him, only to find that he hadn't come home yet. Always a little perplexed, I would return to my room. Always between 15 and 20 minutes later, I would hear the front door open and then close, and hear his signature "Helloo" again. This time he was actually home.
This phenomena only happened once or twice with me hearing my mother's voice; mostly it always sounded like my dad. I always believed it to be a sort of "advanced warning system" (not that I needed warning for anything, but just as a head's up that someone would be home shortly). Kind of like paranormal reassurance :)
A few times I would just hear the front door close, as if someone had come in quietly but shut the door loud enough for me to hear it and know they were home. On these occasions when I would get up to go say hello, there would be no one there. But always, like clockwork, between 15 and 20 minutes later one of my parents would come home and close the front door with the same exact sound as I had heard moments earlier.
I like to think of that as having been one of my friendly ghosts letting me know that my parents were on their way home. I'm very close with my family, so I always loved seeing them after my school days.
I have had lots of other experiences over the years, if you would like to hear about any more of them :) I will gladly post again!
Thanks for reading :D
