One man described waking up in the middle of the night and feeling a cold breath on his neck and also claimed that he felt his soul was being 'sucked out' of his body.

Another person described strange happenings in their childhood home.

They claimed that the lights would flicker and sometimes explode into pieces, and that they'd sometimes hear unexplained pacing footsteps.

Another user shared a similar tale, explaining how they heard footsteps in their basement - only to find no one was there.

One terrified Reddit user claimed to have heard a low, grumbling voice in the house when he was home alone. He reveals he grabbed his keys and ran away in horror.

Other users spoke of unexplained happenings like slamming doors, eerie airs in bedrooms and doors opening in the middle of the night without explanation.

The thread quickly gained momentum, with thousands of people sharing their own horror stories.

Many users comforted each other by sharing their similar spooky experiences but others weren't as forthcoming, with many cynical users hitting back at the tales.
