When TikToker @boodith_222 was a kid, she used to love watching scary movies, but sometimes, they freaked her out a little too much.
One summer, the air conditioning stopped working in their house, so her whole family had to sleep in her parents’ room because her parents had an air conditioning unit in their room.
However, @boodith_222 didn’t want to sleep in her parents’ room. She decided to sleep in her own room, which she shared with her sister. They shared a bunk bed as well, and she slept on the top bunk.
One night, she suddenly woke up in her room, overcome by a terrible sense of impending doom. She instantly turned around and hugged her sister’s feet to comfort herself.
It was always something she had done after watching horror movies and getting too scared.
A split second later, her heart dropped when she realized that her sister wasn’t even in the room. She was sleeping in their parents’ room.
As soon as @boodith_222 realized that, she heard the sound of laughter. She jumped up and turned on the lights, but nothing was there.
“So, whatever the heck was laughing, whatever the heck was there, knew that when I was a little kid, I used to hug my sister’s feet,” said @boodith_222.
“Mind you, I was 13 at this point. I used to do that when I was five, six, seven. I don’t know if that was a ghost or if that was a little demon.”

After turning on the lights, she ran to her parents’ room and slept with them for the rest of the night. She didn’t tell them what had happened until a few weeks later.
Her dad told her to stop watching all those spooky movies and videos because they were inviting evil energy into the home.
In the comments section, some TikTok users shared similar stories about ghosts in their homes.
“Had a similar experience. My girlfriend would hug me when we would sleep. It was like 4 a.m., and she was hugging me tightly, and I was about to tell her to get off me. Then, my heart dropped, and I realized that I had taken her home a couple of hours before. Then, something was growling at me. I got up and turned around, and nothing was there,” commented one user.
“I have a similar story. I used to stay at my boyfriend’s place, and his cat would always jump on the bed at night, waking us up. I got so used to it. One night, at my own place, I felt the cat jump on the bed and didn’t think twice until I remembered I didn’t even have a cat,” wrote another.
“I was home alone once in the living room, playing MW2, and I heard heavy boots walk from the kitchen to the basement, and I know it wasn’t imaginary because my friends heard the steps through my headset,” added a third.
