“A Nigerian man narrates a scary encounter after sleeping over at a lady’s house. He heard her dog bark at 10:35 PM.”
“@maxvayshia, a UNIBEN alumnus, shared a scary encounter he had after sleeping over at a female colleague’s house.”
He said that he heard a noise at the gate and his colleague’s dog barking at 10:35 PM, so he went outside to check what caused it.
As he went out, he saw a man standing in the shadow, staring at him without uttering a word.
“Who’s there?” he asked but got no reply from the figure, and before he could walk closer to the ‘personality’, the person just ‘vanished.’
The man said he searched everywhere for the person but found just a breeze, silence and a few leaves floating in the air. He said the house may have been haunted.
Continuing his narration, as reposted by @_agneeess on Twitter, he said:
“My girl asked who was there, I told her it was just a passer-by, but Morphasah was still barking. I understood what just happened and kept quiet.
“Some houses that were rented/bought straight up (rebuilt or renovated) are haunted by mostly earthbound spirits who are attached to one or two things concerning such houses.
“Either the land itself or some property. These spirits dwell with the new occupants and seek out ways to communicate and sometimes attack, shift tables, chairs, make some sounds just to show they see them and are on to them.
“Some manifest as mere passers-by and bike riders passing by the street. The difference is in their eyes and countenance. Watch them closely as they watch u.”

“My former house, I kept waking up to find kitchen tap opened & kitchen waterlogged. Sometimes I’ll hear footsteps in the living room while I’m inside the bedroom. I lived alone. Until 1 night it finally showed itself to me. I just dismissed it. Was told house was built on a river.”
