What was the scariest/creepiest thing that has ever happened to you?

I've had a lot of weird shit happen to me. I don't have time to rattle them all off so here's the most recent.

We used to live in a house just a mile away. It was built in 2001 so there shouldn't be anything too creepy or paranormal about this house. I used to dapple with the occult when I was an angsty teenager. I made myself a Ouija board and started asking questions to it. I'm an incredibly skeptical person, which is why I was testing out these things like Ouija boards to see if they "work". I remember sitting in the corner of my room, with a slight hum of my fan. I asked the board "is there anyone here?" and hearing all the electricity turn off. I looked around and bolted out of my room. Decided that was enough, burned my Ouija board and buried it under a tree.

That's when the weird shit happened.

A week later, my family and I were around the dinner table, eating some BBQ. The dining room looks out to a patio and the table is next to the door. My mom closed the door to prevent smoke from entering the house. We all sat down, eating and talking, and a few moments later my mom goes to check out the rest of the food on the grill. We noticed that the patio door was open. We didn't hear it. Our cats are too small to push such a heavy door. A little shocked, but wrote it off as nothing.

Few months later, my dad wakes up to the cats meowing at him. This is around 2am-3am. He follows the cats downstairs to the garage. He hears a loud noise and goes out to find the Shop Vac running. He turns it off and goes to bed. Next morning, he tells us what happened. We all are trying to find a logical reason why it turned on, maybe a surge, maybe he forgot to turn it off (It's pretty loud so I don't know how anyone could forget) By now, we are starting to get weirded out.

We go by for a few months. Few weird things happen, few heebee jeebee feelings, cats staring at things, misplaced items, but nothing too crazy. I'm still really skeptical and just write it off as my imagination.

Fast forward, we sell the house a few years later. The new family has our cellphone number and we move into a house a couple miles away.

Last year, they call up my mom. They wanted to ask us about anything "paranormal" we have experienced. Apparently, they experienced something weird in the house. The daughter was going to take a shower and left her belongings and bottles on the bed. When she came back, they were all on the floor and strewn all over the place.

TL;DR: Played with a Ouija board, fucked up some shit.
