The following written confession was submitted via email: So first off this all started maybe in the last year, maybe longer not really sure.

She seemed to be wearing a white nightgown or dress…

The following written confession was submitted via email: I don't remember the exact age this happened (I've always had and still have pretty wild dreams) but it was between the ages of 12 and 14.

The following written confession was shared via email: …I was drawn to and at the edge of the woods at this point when all of a sudden heard a low grumbling growl in the darkness. It was so dark and our phone flashlights wouldn't reach too far.

But as I took just a couple steps away from the wood line I heard it again…

The following written confession was submitted via email: …One night when I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep, I heard something behind me.

At this point I was facing toward the wall to my left and my bad was to the night stand next to my when.

The following written confession was submitted via email: . . . Every night when I’d go to bed, i would see these lights in my bedroom. They weren’t bright lights.

The following written confession was shared online: When I was about 12 during a summer, my sister who is 5 years older than me was out with friends after work. We shared a bedroom. I was up late, doodling in a notebook in bed and had an older, glass tv next to my bed that was turned off.

The following written confession was submitted via email: …maybe we were all just being paranoid, but we all got a similar feeling that we were being watched. After about five minutes of walking through the dense woodland, one of my friends said that he had seen movement in the distance.

The following written confession was submitted via email: So when I was 12 my grandma on my moms side passed away and I was really upset I didn’t get to say my goodbyes because she got lung cancer from smoking that hit really hard and fast and was not really conscious in the hospital.

The following written confession was shared by username1987: This is the story of our 'rainbow people.' I was woken up at about 3 a.m. to the sound of footsteps in our bedroom.
