CHILLING: 30 People Reveal The Spookiest, Most Unexplained Thing That Happened To Them As Kids

16. There was a 1×1-foot glowing orb of light floating about three to four feet from the floor illuminating the dark room.

“Was about 5 or 6. One night my parents and I were watching TV in the living room of our ranch-style house in the suburbs in the Midwest. A light coming from the hallway got our attention. In the bedroom at the end of the hall there was a 1×1 foot glowing orb of light floating about three to four feet from the floor illuminating the dark room.

The orb seemed to realize it was being observed and moved very quickly, and before we knew it the orb was outside like it had passed through the wall or windows. It then very quickly went around the house jumping or passing through two 6-foot fences in a matter of seconds. We saw it do this through the windows and our dog started freaking out.

My dad freaks out and grabs his revolver and a flashlight and storms outside. It had rained recently and there was mud outside but no evidence of footprints or anything to rationally explain it.

While the event is family legend now my mom thought it was a ghost or spirit, my dad thought it was aliens, and quite frankly I have no idea. I lean towards ball of lightning but it seemed to have at least some level of intelligence and seemed to make deliberate, not random movements.”
