Paranormal encounter near Belvedere, Illinois (1986)
Account
After moving into a rented house by a hospital, the family heard night noises and found objects moved. Coming home one night, the witness and a parent both saw a human-like silhouette in the hallway that fled and vanished. Days later the front doorknob turned and the door opened by itself, and a parent reported being tapped on the shoulder with no one there. They left and later learned others had also left quickly and neighbors had seen lights and shadows when empty.
