Supernatural Encounters

Urban legends involving direct, personal encounters with unexplained entities or presences, including apparitions, shadow figures, phantom voices, and other manifestations witnessed in everyday environments.


Introduction


Not all legends happen somewhere else.

Some begin in bedrooms. In hallways. In parked cars. In the quiet, ordinary spaces people believe they understand completely.

Supernatural encounter stories are built around the moment that certainty fails.

A figure stands where no one should be standing. Footsteps move across an empty floor. A voice answers when no one has spoken.

These accounts are often brief. The entity rarely lingers. It appears, it is noticed, and then it is gone—leaving behind only the witness and the uncomfortable knowledge that something shared their space.

Unlike older folklore, these stories do not unfold in distant castles or deep forests. They take place in the modern world, under electric light, inside familiar architecture.

They suggest that whatever once lived in the margins has learned to step closer.

Not to stay.

Just to be seen.
