In the spirit of Halloween, what is the scariest (paranormal or not) experience you have ever had?

Sorry for any formating errors, on my phone.

So I wouldnt call my mother an alcoholic but she does have a tendency to self medicate with alcohol and binge drink (she will never have a glass of wine, its always a bottle).

When I was younger we lived in a two story house that terrified me at night. There was a horrible, scary energy from the first floor that I would never be able to go through it at night. My mother would drink and on occasion black out, just pass out stone cold. This was not out of the ordinary, but then she started to become "possessed".

She would drink, black out and then start talking in a completely different voice. Sometimes a man, sometimes a woman. When this would happen my dad would sequester my siblings and I in our bedroom while he dealt with it, usually by praying or reading the bible. Telling the spirit they werent welcome.

So years pass, we move. My mom goes through good times and bad times in terms of her drinking. But no more "possessions", just acting like a drunk idiot at times. I move in with my SO and my parents move into a duplex, their bedroom being in thr basement.

One night I get a call and my mom is crying hysterically begging me to go over. I tell my SO, I figured there was a death in the family and she wants to tell me in person. When I get to their place it quiet, the dog is sleeping and I cant seem to find my mom. I go down to the basement and shes lying in bed with this smirk on her face. To this day I remembermy stomach turning when I saw her face, I just thought "Thats not my mom". I tried asking her what happened, whyhad she called me crying, and nothing. She just fucking stared at me with that stupid fucking smirk and started laughing. Telling me my mom wasnt there at the moment, that "it" was here. The energy in the room made me so angry, I literally felt like I could murder her. I was so mad at her for drinking, for all the years of dealing with her drunk shit and I was terrified of whatever this thing was.

My dad came home (he worked nights, came home early after mt mom apparently called him crying) and just took over the situation. Lighting white candles, praying, the works.

I dont necessarily beleive she was possessed all those times but its fucking terrifying looking at your mom and she is speaking in a different voice and her face looks completely different. Almost like a mirror image that just has something askew about it.

Tl;dr: mom would be "possessed" by evil spirits when drinking
