All My Paranormal Experiences

Hallucinations

So, seeing things, that's something I can do. My thing is, I don't know if they're hallucinations or ghosts sometimes. It can get hard to tell depending on what you see.

For example, one time I was visiting my uncle's apartment because my parents had something to discuss with him. Everytime we went over there, we'd always bring food too. Mostly McDonald's, so we'd always have trash afterwards. The fact that my parents really go at it when they talk, we're there for hours. At this particular visit we were there until around 8:30-8:45, and as I said before, we'd always have trash, so about a half hour before we leave, I go take the trash to the dumpster out front of the apartments. I did what I always do, walk out, throw the bag in the dumpster, then admire the stars because of the great view I had. As I was looking at the sky, I heard something from behind me, but behind me was the dumpster and not mention, the dumpster was this small patch of fence surrounding it. 

At first I thought it was just the wind going through the fence, so I wasn't really paying much attention to it.  After a few moments, the sound started to sound more like someone knocking on the fence, that's when I turned around to look. The second I turned around, it sounded like someone jumped on the fence and was trying to climb it. Mind you, this was a white, wooden, picket fence with a dumpster in front of it. That means, because of the dumpster, I couldn't see much. I slowly and quietly walked around some cars (the dumpster was near the parking lot)and stepped on a sidewalk that lead from behind the dumpster up to the apartment building. I crept on the sidewalk until the other side of the fence was in view, the side behind the dumpster. There wasn't anyone there, so I just brushed it off as an animal or again the wind and kept walking on the side walk to the building.

As I was walking to the building, I was walking past signs since the sidewalk was right in front of parking spaces. "Handicapped" and "Resident Only Parking" signs. I was walking behind the signs, obviously, so I saw the metal backs of them. As I passed one, it looked like there was someone behind me in the reflection. Taken back by this, I looked over my shoulder to see the sidewalk and the grass. No one was there. I looked back at the reflection and the figure was gone. I kept walking as I passed the next sign, there was a shadow on it. At first, I didn't care, I thought it was my own shadow. To test that, I moved, but the shadow didn't follow my movements. I looked up at the lamp post/ street lamp next to the sidewalk then looked for my own shadow. It was on the ground, on the sidewalk. I looked back at the sign and the shadow was still there, so I start booking it back to the apartment my uncle had. Luckily, it was a ground floor one. 

As I was walking in the hallway to reach my uncle's apartment, I heard foot steps behind me. I looked back and there was no one there. It couldn't have been my own because I don't make noise when I walk or run, my feet are silent and even if it was somehow me, the hallway doesn't echo, so those steps wouldn't have sounded the way that they did. As I reached his door, I looked back down the hall before entering the room and vaguely saw a figure at the very end of the hall. In that, I didn't know if there was someone there or not for a few times. 

In a scenario where I see eyes staring at me from my backyard, I know that's real because there's raccoons and stray cats and dogs back there. I've checked multiple times. The time me and my mom both heard a loud thump/bang come from somewhere in the house, I knew that was real because someone else heard it. (I thought it was in the kitchen, but mom thought it was downstairs, I checked in both places, but nothing was out of the ordinary)

In a scenario when I see shadows on the lockers at school, I know I'm hallucinating because that's the main thing I hallucinate about. However, in the situation of the apartment story, I don't know if that was a person or my eyes playing tricks. 

~Author's Note~ Don't worry everyone, I'm not insane, my mind and body are just weird. I'm not mental and my doctor says I'm mentally healthy, no disorders, nothing like that. It's nothing medical, only spiritual here. Unless, it's a common thing and I just don't know it's common because I'm not sure what's considered "common."
