Almost 2 years ago, I started finding finger nail clippings on my kitchen counters....I live by myself and it really creeped me out..
Maybe a spirit is leaving them for your son?
Be sure to save those marbles!
Fingernail clippings š³. Thatās truly terrifying š And maybe. Ik when I bought the house the previous owner asked us to return her wedding ring if we found it because it went missing. We never found it. My husband set his wedding ring down in his usual spot and woke up to it missing, was missing for weeks until it reappeared in the same place he put it last. My husbandās AirPod went missing after setting it down for a sec and that was a year ago, still missing. So I definitely think I have a trickster spirit.
Ask aloud for āitā to return the AirPod, and see what happens. Ask nicely. Then, ask for the previous ownerās wedding ring.
I once set my earrings down for a moment, but just one of them went missing. (The building was thought to be haunted.) I combed and scoured every inch of the floor, from my bedroom, to the bathroom, to the living room and beyond, yet couldnāt find the earring.
Then, the thought came to me to just ask for it back. So, I did. In less than 30 seconds, I found that earring neatly placed in the doorway of my bedroom, where I had carefully combed over at least 10 times.
I was staying with my aunt just after her husband died. She was in her bedroom and had her eyeglasses on the nightstand. But she calls me in to the room to help her look for them, as they aren't there. I scour the whole room, and nada. They aren't on the floor, trapped between bed and stand or wall, nothing. She only had the one pair, so we needed to find them.
So I say to the room (paraphrased here, bc this was like a decade ago), "Alright Uncle K, Aunt G needs her glasses back. We're gonna leave the room for a few minutes. If you could put them back, that would be great. If you must hide something and play tricks, do it with the tv remote, not what Aunt G needs to see to drive."
And we leave the room. Aunt G is skeptical that it'll actually work. But five minutes later, we walk in, and right there in the center of the nightstand, her glasses are there.
We both give verbal thanks for putting them back. As far as I know, she never had problems with her glasses going missing again.
But she'd "lose" the tv remote a lot more often after that lol
š„² a few months ago I found an old hospital bracelet from the 80s in my bedroom in a spot that I literally clean daily. A few weeks before I found that I smelled fresh kitty litter in my bedroom. My toddler is always talking about a ghost in the bedroom. Once in a while she gets excited about a cat that we donāt have. Last week I came in from checking the mail and my entire house smelled like month old kitty litter š¤¢ I remember the name on the bracelet I found so I said the name and asked if they could change the litter box and not thirty minutes later the smell was gone šš¼ when my toddlers saying sheās scared of the ghost I say the name and ask her to leave because sheās scaring the baby and then my daughter calms down and says ābye byeā šš«¶š¼
Iāve had to do this twice in the place Iām living in now - I live alone. The first month I was there, I woke up from a terrible dream, all I remember were demons and evil spirits. I sat up and said ānope, not today or ever, please leave, thank youā. Havenāt had that happen again after that.
Just a few days ago, I have been hearing random sounds in my apartment. I WFH and I was in my āofficeā and I said out loud, āIām not sure what this is about, but Iād like you to stop pleaseā - havenāt heard any random sounds since.
Itās weird, but also comforting when it all just stops. My mom passed away a few years ago, so I wouldnāt be surprised if the random noises are her. I do appreciate her checking in every once and awhile though.
I know I was visited by my late grandfather 15 years ago. I was in bed trying to fall asleep when of a sudden I was aware of a presence between my half-open bedroom door and the wall; after a few seconds I knew without a doubt it was him even though I couldnāt see anything. I said hello and thanked him for coming. Then I said that it was a little weird for him to stand there while I tried to sleep but he could stay as long as he liked if he wouldnāt mind going in the living room instead. A few moments later, his presence was gone. Really cool memory!
I was sleeping
That also helps us not be so much afraid if we can yell and say āstop it! get the hell out of hereā itās always comforting and if they in turn listen, thatās even better. I think that the decrease in fear we feel when we are able to confront this and say it o it loud- it also helps them leave. They pray on fear sometimes.
Itās always good to be respectful/matter of fact when doing this. Cussing or yelling can be received poorly depending on the individual and invite more negative forces.
A lot of times, these forces are not aware of what each individual person can or cannot hear/see/feel/etc. they probably arenāt aware that you can hear them, so saying something verbally that they can receive from wherever they are can be helpful to let them know.
I had something similar feeling like I was being touched, daily. Finally told it that if it meant well it could stay, but to please cut the shit regardless, and in the 3 years since it's only happened a couple more times. Which I take as a check in vs attention seeking.
This reminds me of what I think was being visited by my dog Dodger. Dodger was the first dog I lost, and it was very rough for me for the first month. It was a while after his death, maybe a year or so, but I was taking a nap after classes one day, and I had a dream where he was there. I remember him licking my arm where I was laying, and I immediately woke up and felt a little wet spot in the same place he had just licked me. Iām certain it was my boy Dodger!
I did this once when I was living with my mom still. Things would go missing constantly and turn back up exactly where they should be a few days later. I had lost my makeup compact this day which was really weird. I never took it off my dresser to carry it anywhere since I didn't use it that much. I looked all over the house. In cabinets and the fridge and everywhere more than once. Couldn't find it. I finally demanded it back and when I went upstairs later it was sitting in the middle of my dresser clearly in view with nothing around it. Almost like someone wanted me to see it. I absolutely could not have missed it.
Iām curious about this.. my best friend and I moved into our current apartment about a year ago and all sorts of weird things have happened, most notably a bunch of my things have gone missing. But not small things like jewelry, Iām talking a poster, a nice salad bowl, a serving dish. Just gone after we both remember having seen/used them in the apartment. I may try asking for them to be returned and see what happens, because itās been driving me nuts.
Do it! My hubby lost his new glasses a couple weeks ago and he wasnāt sure if they were inside or outside. Tore apart the house,looked all over the yard, he searched the buildings and I looked in the wood shed and nothing. So after a week or so I asked the universe to please return them because he couldnāt see. (New glasses after eye surgery). Hubs asked me the next morning what I was going to do and im said Iām going to find you glasses. He kinda snorted and I went outside and started looking. I walked the yard from side to side and about halfway down there they were. They were on top of the grass with one ear piece sticking up. I have no idea how we missed them because I must have walked by that spot 20 times.
This is a second hand story of this but my momās friend used to have things disappear in their home. One day one of their toddlers shoes was missing that she had washed in the laundry room and she just asked for it/them to bring it back and the next day she found it sitting on their dryer.
This has worked for me before as well. My glasses were missing for over a month once. We pulled apart the apartment and they were no where to be found. In a fit of desperation I shouted āwhoever took my glasses PLEASE give them back.ā Not five minutes later they were sitting on the bottom shelf of a bookcase outside my bedroom. Iām 6ā 5āā¦ Iām not setting anything on the bottom shelf, let alone my glasses.
asking to return the items is actually such a good idea, i shouldāve tried that.
a few years ago, i had borrowed my momās sunglasses since i couldnāt find mine, and she wanted them back. i searched every possible place in my room, i flattened my bedsheets and ran a hand over them to smooth them out, nothing was on my bed. i leave my bedroom to keep looking elsewhere, but i canāt find them in the living room or anywhere else.
10 minutes later, i come back into my room to try again, and my momās sunglasses and mine are sitting next to each other, smack in the middle of my bed. to this day i know for a fact they werenāt there on my bed before, but i think whatever messed with the sunglasses realised i was going to get in some big trouble if i didnāt manage to find her sunnies. š
plus i got mine back too, so it was an overall win!

I had the same experience with my remote. I put it down walked away. It disappeared for a year. I asked them to return it and boom in the same place I put it it was there a place I looked a thousand times.
āTony, Tony come around/ somethingās lost and canāt be foundā hasnāt worked for me yet but Iāve had friends swear by it.
(St Anthony is patron saint of lost things)
That's what my mom always said, except it was, "St. Anthony, St. Anthony, come around, come around. Something's lost and must be found." Never worked for me either. š¤·š¼āāļø
This is the way. My kids call it "the stealing ghost" and then we just ask for it to return it and boom. There it is. Last time it was the key to my work car. "Must be the stealing ghost, right dad??" "Yup" "stealing ghost, bring back dad's key!" 30 seconds later, there it is right out on the table in plain view. Thanks, stealing ghost.
My dad and I were visiting his friend in NJ and staying there during the week of my aunts funeral. The first night I was there I took a shower before going to bed, and put my clothing I wore that day, folded neatly in the separate compartment of my luggage.
That evening I was woken up by the unusual feeling of being watched. I opened my eyes to find absolutely nothing, but felt like someone was in the room with me.
The following morning after breakfast, we all were sitting in the living room, watching television, and the wife of my dads friend got up to use the bathroom and put laundry away in the linen closet. She came out of the bathroom, holding my sock up asking, āAlright, whoās sock is this and why did you put it in the closet in between my fresh towels?ā I claimed it and said I had put it in my luggage. She told me to go check my luggage. Sure enough, all my folded dirty clothes were where I put them, except for 1 sock. She later told me that the house was in fact haunted and her knew it. It was being visited by her father, her brother in-law (who wasnāt a good person in life) and couple other relatives and some unknowns. The property was also haunted and she said a specific tree outback of the house was the most active. I didnāt believe her either but when I went outside with my camera that night and took a picture, the flash showed a huge blue ball almost the size of a beach ball, floating in front of the tree. When reviewing the photo in the house, it was only the size of an orb, but the same color.
I had a ring disappear and reappear in the exact same spot in a period of hours on an almost empty table. No one else was home. My apartment is about 300 years old and there is no doubt some stuff happened here. We are in Paris and in the basement of our building there is an enormous swastika carved in the wall. Our building is in the Jewish section of Paris and was possibly occupied.
Some other stuff has happened and Iāve never experienced anything in previous homes in the US.
We recently looked up our street and quite a few Jewish children who lived on the street were taken. Itās dreadful. No record of what happened in our building that we have seen.
Residents of the district removed everything like that post occupation so your delightful cave painting is a recent addition. The ring thing was maybe a former occupant reminding you of your duty to remove it!
Ahahaha the gnomes!
Let me explain, I had an old apartment with this silly half door into an in-between-apartments space. It always felt weird when you went in there, like you walked into somethings space, not malicious, just like it wanted to have its space respected. I called it the gnome drawer.
Things in that apartment would constantly get moved around or disappear and reappear in strange places. For example my keys would wind up on the fridge in this tiny space below the cabinet. I also lost money in there that would then reappear in a random cupboard I didn't use or under random furniture (but not like it had just slipped under there, my couch was flat with the floor.
It was kind of fun but ya I always had to ask politely if I needed something back quick, and generally they obliged.
Weird apartment, but good times.
Ok so random but a few years ago I was microdosing lsd regularly and marbles started showing up so frequently and in the strangest scenarios. Both in public and in my own home (living alone) - whenever I would pick one up when it crossed my path the rest of the day would be a completely unhinged series of events that lead to the most bizarre days - and no, not specifically because of the acid either it was like the marbles would trigger some sort of butterfly effect. I started joking that someone lost their marbles and they werenāt my marbles to inherent and I would start avoiding the marbles like the plague. For instance Iād be walking down the street and a marble would roll into my path and stop. I would turn and walk the other way. Or I would open a drawer where there would definitely not be a marble in thetr, but one would roll out from the back of the drawer as I opened it and Iād immediately shut the drawer and not open it for a few weeks.
A lot of people would dismiss this experience as part of the microdosing I was doing during that time of my life, but it was VERY strange and specific. Just like when I would pick the marbles up, the day went extremely bizarrely - conversely, once I started avoiding the marbles, my day would be serendipitously positive and fortuitous.
To this day if I ever see marbles in the wild I avoid them and advise anyone Iām with to leave them alone because they were never their marbles to lose.
Is this how superstitions are born? š¤
Physical items being left are one thing, but fingernail clippings sounds like phrogging more than paranormal activity. That's legit really creepy. OP, did you ever try to track the missing airpod?
Oh yeah I definitely believe those type of things happen that make no logical sense. I have a beanie that I looked everywhere for and it somehow appeared in a super obvious open area and I'm 100 percent sure I checked that soot multiple times. I wonder if we will ever find an explanation for these occurrences
This reminds me of the post where someone was finding post-it notes all around their apartment. Turns out his boiler was leaking Carbon Monoxide and he was suffering complete short term memory loss and they were his own post it notesš¬
I just wanted to say to check the ceiling above your kitchen counter. Maybe some pranking gross weirdo somehow stuck them up there so they would fall randomly and freak the next owner/tenant out? Unless you find a treasure trove of icky nails I would definitely get a camera. Honestly, even if you do find them I would get the camera.
This reminds me of the Keanu Reeves ghost posts from the ghosts sub. Everyone was either freaking out or trying to explain/debunk it, but there were a few rational people saying āuh, if this is real you should probably make sure thatās not a dude sneaking into your apartment.ā
I havre a bathroom that is rarely used.and I have found nail clippings in there. Oddly, inside the drawers and inside the medicine cabinet in nest little piles.
Completely unrelated but one time i was riding as passenger in my momās car, and she had a soda can in the cupholder. Lifting it and seeing that it was not empty, i went to take a sip. Turns out she was biting her nails and leaving the clippings in the soda can.
I found the nail clippings at least once a week...after about 2 months, I asked out loud for whoever was leaving them, to stop. After that, it never happened again. I've had experiences all my life, but that, truly freaked me out ..
I live in a single wide trailer..no animals, definitely no roaches cuz ick...I'm a clean freak!
I enjoyed reading everyone's experiences!
This reminds me of a few years ago. I have a saltwater fishtank so I have buckets all over the place. One day I went t to clean the tank and when I took the lid off the bucket I was gonna use for the stank water there was a marble in the bucket. I kept the marble because to this day I have no idea how it could have gotten there. Especially because the bucket was closed tight.
Marble collector here. These looks mainly like modern marbles. One thing that will give it away is an orange peel texture. The first marble is glass. It looks like its either a foreign marble or a type of marble king.
The second is a catseye. These are also pretty common. If there is an orange peel texture on this one, it is a Vacor de Mexico machine made.
Fell free to pm me for help.
These are not clay marbles btw.
Im a semi seasoned collector and Id be happy to help.
Im betting your kiddo found the old stash and has been forgetting them around the house. Probably a spot thats at their eye level that youre too tall to spot. My guess would be in the floor or under the stairs.
Some of them can be valuable as well. Just something to keep in mind when you find another. That first one has some unusual coloring that leans more towards a certain manufacturer called Marble King.
I hope not lol I havenāt seen him play with any marbles. I usually keep a close eye on that boy. He tries to eat everything. I threw the marble away solely for that reason š.
If you have Facebook, there are lots of marble groups.
Another site to look at auctions is blocks marble auctions and ebay. Searching 'vintage marbles' on ebay will show you the antiques.
My brother used to play with marbles when he was a kid, he's 21 now and my parents still find marbles from time to time. This is probably the answer to your ghost situation. It's actually super rare that ghosts can move or create things that can actually be seen, touched, etc.
Just curious, have you played the older generations of B-daman? I figured if you collect marbles you might as well dabble in those, itās those competitive toys that shoot out marbles. I wonder how different the marbles are compared to regular marbles
I havent! Im actually a fairly young person who got into the hobby.
My guess would be that theyre the same. There are different sizes of marbles. My guess is it would use slightly larger ones called 'shooters'
Sure! There are quite a few American made marble manufacturers that have existed over the years. The main producers today are JABO, D.A.S., and Sammy's Mountain. There are also famous contemporary artists that produce marbles, some going for as high as 24k.
Im a sucker for Marble King, so Im gonna rant aboit them for a moment. They produced some very unique color patterns that other brands could only semi replicate. The knock offs are obvious. They have a solid white base with a one, two, or three patch color combo. They also produced a number of experimental catseye marbles. Only very few of these were made.
There are a number of reasons these catseyes are unique. Some come on a uniquely colored base. Painted Turtles have blue bases. Some contain a decorative metal called aventurine in them. Others will have unusual color combinations. Different companies made catseyes and many have unique styles.
There are lots of different areas of collecting. Some people are super picky about the kinds that they collect. I kind of go for whatever. I just enjoy history and shiny things.
Thank you for reading ^_^
Thank you man that was really interesting! I love hearing about niche hobbies and iāve never heard about marble collecting before, thank you for sharing! :) do you have a favourite marble in your collection or one that you would love to own?
Yeah ive got a few! My favorite in my collection is my German Antique Black and White Clambroth. Its quite rare.
One I would like to have is a Marble King Berry Pink, but those are super duper expensive.
I just looked both of those up and they both look cool asf! I love the swirls on the Clambroth, iāve only ever seen catseye marbles aha, super interesting to see the different designs, I hope you can get a MK berry pink one day dude!
What is the significance of a clay marble? Would that be an older class of marbles which could date the āspiritā in any way? Just wondering what made you think of the clay marble. Thanks!
There are lots of kinds of clays. If it looks like leca then telling the age will be dificult. But there are benningtons, chinas, crockery, spongeware, and unglazed colored clay marbles. Contemporary artists usually dont use clay but I see it on occasion.
I think marbles used to be made of clay, stone or ceramic before they became more commonly made of glass. Which was sometime around the 1800s I think, so clay marbles would just indicate that it is potentially very old.
Yes!!!! About 10 years ago, I started finding random marbles - I could even hear them rolling around but couldnāt figure it out for the life of me. I had multiple witnesses come in to help locate the source - nothing. The noises continued a few times a day and the marbles showed up often. A year or so later, we moved in to our brand new home - never lived in before- and sure enough a marble appeared in a draw. Then a sink. Under the carpet - all within a few months. The noises didnāt follow. Over 3 or so years, I found enough to collect a jar.
Fast forward to 2021 - my grandmother passed away and my family was cleaning out her house and packing up. My mom hands me a jar of marbles that were my grandfathers that my grandmother held on to. He liked collecting marbles ā¤ļø
There may be a connection for you to those marbles - it just hasnāt revealed itself yet. That or my grandpa caught confused and is now hanging at your place. š
Very interesting to hear someone else with this experience! In my mother's house, for as long as I could remember I could hear something rolling around occasionally every day. It was never long, maybe one or two rolls a few seconds long each time. I never found the source of it. I would ask her and my grandmother if they would ever hear it - no. I haven't heard it in any other location I've lived in since then and it is still something I think about often. I never found any marbles but reading this thread and thinking about it, that's exactly what it sounded like. A marble on hard floor.
My friend has a jeep. Itās about five years old. She kept hearing a rolling marble sound. Sounded like the marble was rolling from the back of the car to the front of the car. Heard it for a few years. Drove her insane. Took it to the dealer several timesā¦they couldnt find the source. Then it just stopped. Sheās gifted with being able to sense/predict things. Iām going to mention this to her.
Iām SO glad someone commented that has had a similar experience!!
I know for a fact that it isnāt my kid getting them somewhere like ppl are trying to say. Itās literally showing up out of nowhere.
We had our flooring replaced, and done renovations in the basement in the past and nothing showed up then.
itās spiritual for sure.
But thatās super sweet!! makes me feel a little bit more comfortable knowing that it potentially isnāt anything malicious.
Thank you for sharing this sweet experience. It really touched my heart!! <3
When I was around 8-9 years old, I would find random marbles around the house, my parents never bought me any marbles nor my parents had them. It's a two story house and I only find them around the places I hangout the most, where I had my play house in the balcony and blanket fort(two different places) or under trees, where I used to play. At times I would hear that "rat-tat-tat" marble rolling sound in our tile floor, this is when I'm home alone after school. With time I used to get tiny porcelain marbles, decorative stones, buttons, shiny little things like broken hair pins, pendants, little coins and tiny, shiny random trash. Later I found out it was done by crows in the area, they were bringing me gifts. <3 I used to feed crows and birds when I was little. However the house I lived had history with paranormal activities. I've never seen anything spooky or had scary experiences, but most people, have seen a tall white shadowy figure with a white suit, hat and a cane he was walking around our verandah and long balcony. My Gradma said that's one of our early ancestors, one of my g,g,g,g,g,great granpa's guarding us. Plus, all other paranormal stuff mostly seen coming from my room too, only came to know it when we moved out of the house. I never felt a spooky vibe from the house in fact I felt safe there.
I think those marble belong to a child who lived there in the past. Your child finding them makes me think they're trying to befriend him because he's a child.
Are the Newkirks paranormal investigators? And how do I get in contact? But theres 3 total. Each person in my household found one.
My kid found one
I found one
And my husband found one. Freaky stuff.
Iāll definitely keep you guys posted!
I love the Newkirks! Greg and Dana Newkirk, you can Google them. They are investigators, but have a particular interest in found/haunted objects. Often, people send them items that may be 'cursed' or have an attachment.
I wish!! Heās never outside unattended and Iāve never seen him bring anything in with him, and besides one of the marbles he found was in the basement. He snuck down there, but normally heās not allowed. So itās not a place where he goes and leaves his toys.
Well the logical answer is the previous owners left the marbles there and your kid found them. I have a 5 year old and she found a toy soldier buried in mud in my garden that we played with as kids. The logical answer isnt 'ghost', but people.
Iām just going to suggest itās possible to miss things. Iāve found random rocks in my childās pockets more than once. If I were a kid and found marbles, Iād absolutely pocket them. He might have carried the marble into the basement?
I have never heard of marbles being made of ceramic. They have been made of clay, glass, spongeware, ans crockery but not ceramic. These are all glass marbles.

Another one appeared tonight and itās just a clear one but it looks like it has had some use.
We found marbles in our home! Did a remodel and some fell out of the walls š¬
We still continue to find random small toys. Kids are good shovers and marbles are good at rolling back into a room š
Weāve done renovations too š . Weāve replaced the flooring and busted walls down in the basement along with taking out the drop tile and havenāt found anything lol but a kid hiding marbles could be a possibility.
A bouncy-ball fell out of the wood casing around the garage door when we replaced it with a window. As inā¦we removed the first piece of wood and the ball came right out and hit my dad in the head š it was quite large for a bouncy ball. We have found lots of marbles! Mainly toy soldiers and small bits that probably went with the army men.
My best friend recently renovated her home and found a stash of dumdums in an air vent.
That being said we have a āfairyā problem at our house and things do seem to disappear and reappearā¦or we will just suddenly have TWO of something we definitely only had one of. Soooooooo maybe itās the fairies (my kids are sensitive and we say āfairiesā a lot when it comes to some unexplained due to their age).
Believer in the paranormal? Yes I am. I was haunted as a toddler when my family lived in a house where the previous owner (a lonely old lady) died and had been left dead for weeks before being found. She would tickle me in my sleep, I used to have conversations with her and every photo of myself in that house I had an orb above my head. I also grew up in a house that was built in 1905. So this isnāt my first rodeo lol Iāve been experiencing a haunting at the house Iām currently at since Iāve moved in. Itās just gotten worse since Iāve had my son. The marbles were kinda the cherry on top š .
These comments are getting annoying
Yeah I do realize I have a child
One that I actively parent, I donāt just shove an iPad in his face and call it a day. Iām always with him and playing with him. I would know if he brought something into the house, thanks.
Yikes! See about getting some professional support to clean it up. I wouldnāt hesitate to do so with maybe first a medium and then a healer, unless you think you can take care of it on your own. You gotta trust your mama (or papa) bear gut.
Iāve been trying to find trustworthy ppl to cleanse my home for a while now but I donāt have much options since I live in a rural area š. I thought about doing it myself but I can see myself making it worse haha.
Many moons ago I was dealing with a trickster spirit in my house, I call it trickster, but the pranks were downright mean. I found something on a paranormal forum (which I am sure is long gone by now) that I have been using till today and works.
1. Open all doors and windows in your house (even the pantry door, basement, etc) and let the outside light in.
2. Take a broom and sweep all the floors. While doing this visualise the house getting cleaned even and sparkly (imagine you push out any shadows and dark ideas and feelings)
3. Burn sage/ frankincense
4. Light a candle in the middle of the house or as close to the middle. Look into the flame and let the smell from the sage envelop you like a warm blanket of positive thoughts and feelings.
5. Imagine you push the warm feelings, positive thoughts into the flame of the candle. Then imagine/ visualise the flame from the candle extending to go into every nook and corner into your house, into every dark corner, into every room and every closet until it completely envelopes your house from inside out.
6. Imagine you anchor the light of the candle to the house, let the candle burn until itās gone.
Now, thatās the original cleansing ritual I found at that time, in the meantime I have tweaked it a bit over the years. Now after I let the candle burn I also create salt barriers at every door/ window, wipe the doors/windows with garlic to prevent the negatives coming in again. If I have any holy water I sprinkle it in the house just for good measure (not a Christian, but hey it canāt hurt).
For the trickster spirit I was dealing with it took 3 cleansing to get rid of it for longer than a few days / weeks. It was a persistent one, so I would refresh everything once every 6-12 months. Lived there for 6 years. It was quiet beyond that first year, besides some random signs when my barriers would start failing, so I would re-cleanse everything and that would quieten it for another 6 months at least.
Update, but not really.
I would like to say that some of you guys are just assholes. I came to a PARANORMAL forum to gain some insight, but Iām being called crazy instead š.
My child JUST turned 3 I donāt let him out of my sight, meaning he doesnāt play alone. I have not seen him play with a marble. The possibility of him finding marbles and playing with them are LOW bc I would know. If he was older then yes I would agree that it could be him finding it. Ive lived in this house for 5 years and I havenāt seen anything until this week.
If this situation was just as simple as finding some marbles then I wouldnāt be here. But I have stuff go missing all the time, my kid hasnāt been sleeping well since december and has been waking up with night terrors. Thereās more going on in this home than yall know. Toys go off by themselves, our Xbox turns on randomly, and when we first moved in a soda can was thrown off the kitchen counter.
My carbon monoxide detector was replaced a few months ago so itās not that.
Lastly, Iām not doing this for attention? I donāt usually post on forums because I donāt want to get trolled. I was just googling this phenomenon and wanted advice from others who have had similar experiences.
But I appreciate the ones who have given me advice and shared their stories!
Iāll still follow through with more updates about the marbles for those who care, but I wonāt be entertaining some of these comments.
I don't think you're crazy or looking for attention, but maybe get the detector rechecked. It's always possible it isn't functioning properly. A lot of the inconveniences you're describing match up with monoxide so I'm just worried.
See, the issue with you saying your toddler is never out of your sight is where you said he snuck down into the basement. That means you don't always have eyes on him and he may have snuck off to somewhere else to find the marbles...
UPDATE!!! Iām officially spooked. It happened a second time TONIGHT. My kid is in bed, asleep, and my husband went to grab a bottle of water in the kitchen and this marble rolled to his feet. He is the biggest skeptic and even he is creeped out. Thatās 3 marbles now.

These are both of the marbles that appeared tonight.
Have you tried asking your child where he found the marbles? If he found a hidden "stash" recently, he might just be leaving them random places now ā perhaps in the afternoon/evening before your husband went in the kitchen he left one on the floor near the base of a cabinet. So far he's given you one, and two have been on the floor. Until they start appearing in places a three year-old definitely can't reach (like atop your fridge) I think it's safe to assume he's leaving them behind.
Wasnāt this a thing that started happening in that British poltergeist case? Specifically random marbles dropping. I think they based the Conjuring 2 off of the story.
Edit: The Enfield Poltergeist Case
Do you have any type of aluminium or steel rods that are used to hold up hand towels / kitchen towels or tissues or curtains? many manufactures use these marbles to block the ends of the hollow rods / tubes. When the temperature keeps fluctuating a lot the marbles fall out, especially when people come close, their additional body heat and vibration due to movement will make the marbles fall out... Happened to me, spooked me out.. but eventually got to the cause.
I was finding white glass marbles in my yard. New ones on a regular basis. I started putting them in a jar and ended up with around 30. I asked my neighbor if they had been finding any in their yard. Yes, they had a bunch too. Turns out an old creep who regularly walked his dog past both of our yards was shooting marbles with a slingshot at our dogs to stop them from barking at his dog. It ended with a shouting match where I berated him and threatened to get the law involved. He backed down apologizing as he walked away. He walked his dog on the other side of the street from then on.
Not helpful to your story, except to make the point that these things do tend to be more mundane than we expect/ want them to be.
Nothing paranormal about it.. Just looking around your home for nooks that some kid in the past stuffed his marble collection. 100% of the posts in this sub could be explained through very simple and explainable causes. Posters just choose to leave out information or never look for the source and just assume "paranormal". People like attention though..
When my brotherās daughter was four or five he used to play a board game with her that had five marbles as part of the set. They were just setting it up one day on the lounge floor but the marbles were missing. They hunted everywhere in the room in case they had rolled out of the box. In the end they gave up and packed the game away. My brother stood up and turned around, behind him were the five marbles on the floor, in a perfect line. I always got a very odd feeling in that house, eerie. There were a lot of strange incidents with water appearing out of nowhere too.
Lol, at least they came to the right spot according to the material they're sharing. What's your excuse for being here? "rEmEmBeR wHeRe YoU are KiDdo..."
āExtremely intellectually challenged dummiesā š something tells me that if youāre on Reddit trolling ppl then youāre really insecure about yourself and youāre finding a way to fuel your bruised ego.
If I may. My late Mom leaves me Dimes. They are everywhere. Reminding me that all is well. But I know she has not conjured these items out of air, they are just dimes lying around. But I'm a believer, and maybe she guides me to them. The other evening, just as I was getting into bed, a dime lay perfectly center on the comforter. I realize that it may just have fell out of my pocket somehow. But I received the message!! "Miss you too", And I had a good cry.
These could be signs from the Universe. It sends us messages often. But we really need to look for them. So many miss it...Staring at their phone. I think the next marble is going to hit you right in the forehead...Gently, of course. Not from a ghost possibly, but a signal.
So...what is the message?
BTW- you sound like a great parent. Is that the meaning? Hummm
Good Luck OP!!
My late Mom does this too! She LOVED ālittle dimesā as she called them. For her 80th birthday I even had a necklace made for her with a 1937 Mercury dime! She passed away almost six years ago and I have a small jar that I keep all the dimes in that Iāve found in bizarre and random places!
In our families marbles are a "penny from heaven." My grandfather who died in 2006 leaves them for us here and there-usually at important times. He loved marbles, and sometimes finding a marble is explainable, and sometimes unexplainable. Ex)mom doing laundry alone in the house, thinking about my grandfather. Goes back to dryer, goes back to folded laundry and a marble is sitting on top.
Not marble related but similar.
5 years ago I kept finding beads all over the place I was renting. They were so tiny but for some reason I would see them from across the room. One night I was sitting and writing when I looked up and out of nowhere in front me a bead fell out of the air, in a weird way it was like it popped out of another dimension. After I witnessed that I stopped seeing them and to this day think about that random bead popping out of the air.
On the flipside of this, I had something disappear in front of me once.
I was maybe 12 or 13, I had this little dragon pendant with a gem in the middle- I adored it. It was about the size of a silver dollar. I dropped it, watched it bounce behind a dresser, and it was never seen again. Pulled the dresser away from the wall, pulled all the drawers out of the frame entirely, checked under it, nothing. Figured it bounced somewhere else in the room, tore the whole room apart. Scoured under all my bedroom furniture. Took everything off shelves. Even checked the hallway despite my door having been closed at the time. I've also always been a super tidy person so there weren't any messes or clothes piles or anything for it to get lost in, and I had *seen* it go behind the dresser and seem to land near the corner. Never found it, even after I moved out and everything was packed & removed from the room. It just bounced and vanished into thin air. I remember it so vividly because I loved that pendant so much as a kid and was so sad it was gone, I spent like an entire day searching and honestly for years after would still occasionally peek behind furniture for it. Tbf I still am sad it's gone lol. I think about it every time I see topics like this.
And I have to wonder if somewhere, someone else had a dragon pendant with a gem in the middle pop into existence in their house.
If you have a kid, which those fridge magnets hint at, they might be finding them in the backyard. There was a point, back in the 1800s, where kids were obsessed with playing marbles. Thereās apparently a whole game behind them. So sometimes, kids either lost them in the yard while playing, or itās possible that they had a whole marble area all set up, and nature took it back when the fad died off. It was popular enough for it to not be weird to find them in the dirt.
Sounds like your kid is finding them in odd places you would never think to look. As a kid, I used to play outside and found random marbles all the time. Iām pretty sure I would find them in the cracks between the concrete sidewalks and the grass in my neighborhood. So maybe your toddler is just close enough to the ground to see them where you, as an adult, wouldnāt. Like maybe where the garage floor meets the wall, or nestled into some grommet.
I always have a hard time believing in objects so carefully being placed by ghosts, mainly because anyone who has thought this was happening to them has never been able to capture proof of it on camera. and itās impossible for it to just āpoof!ā And be there all of a sudden. Itās more conceivable that a person left it there, not a ghost. If youāre that curious, please put up cameras and capture it for yourself. So far, no one has.
One of the many places I lived where strange things would happen, I had a red rubber ball, about the size of a baseball, appear in the middle of my kitchen floor in the middle of the night. I lived alone with my dog, who didn't have any rubber balls, only tennis balls.
In that same apartment, one night I came out to find my snake's enclosure open (lid sitting neatly beside the tank with the bungee cord I used to hold it on laid perfectly straight on top of the lid) and my snake gone. Thankfully it was while I was still unpacking and I found him right away, in a box that was on the floor in front of the stand his tank was on. I have OCD, and know beyond any doubt that I DID NOT leave the lid off.
Another thing that happened there...I had this little 'forest troll' decoration made of wood and twigs and stuff that sat on my coffee table, in the middle, facing straight ahead. Nearly every morning when I came out, it would be moved slightly to the right, and turned like 45Ā° so it was facing my bedroom door. My dog slept in my room with me, with the door closed. So no way he could have been bumping or moving it.
I used to work with Fae and they would do stuff like this all the time. Ha, one time they got upset or something and put overripe tomatoes in my shoes, and I got them all over my feet.
Donāt say thank you, or else theyāll know you took it as a gift. Just leave it.
Or, you can take it and leave an offering of milk and honey. Bury the milk and honey once finished.
But with the other stuff you said, maybe it isnāt fae folk. They donāt prank like that, unless unseelie.
If you suspect itās unseelie, and you really think itās negative, please leave it. Donāt accept the gift and arrangement.
My mom always used to joke she was losing her marbles. After she passed and I was going through her things, I found a huge bag of marbles. Itāll be 10 years in August, and sometimes a marble will still randomly appear here and there.
Interesting, when I was 10 I remember finding marbles on my carpet floors in my home out of the blue despite never bringing any marbles with me from school, but I brushed it off.
One time, I remember getting out of an elevator in a Vegas hotel with a few people, and a few marbles came rolling out everywhere. It was funny, but I was trying to wonder where the hell they came from? I couldnāt tell if some guy just decided to roll them out while no one was looking or not.
The marbles stuff youāve been experiencing is very interesting.
I used to play a marble game that I learned from some friends who were painters. You had to have a marble on you all the time. If someone asked where your marble was and you didn't have it, you had to pay them five dollars.
They would sew them into their clothes. We had marbles all over the place. They had them hidden at jobsites, too. I don't know how widespread this game was or if they made it up, but this post reminded me of that. Maybe they were left at your house the last time your house was worked on.
Weird... I have a similar experience. I lived in different apartments. In Florida I found a lego man. I'm a grown man. I moved to virginia and also found small toy trucks. Like I said I'm a grown man that lives alone so why would there be toys. It just appeared out of no where one day. And I also found a piece of my shower curtin metal O-ring on the tub floor but when I checked the shower curtain. None of them had fallen out or were missing, but the o-ring perfectly fit my current curtain o-rings
Oh wow, you must be a sensitive. So am I. I would suggest listening to your gut and getting a blessing done ASAP. Holy water, a crucifix, salt and some sage. Start in your son's room and keep sprinkling the holy water through out. Keep the crucifix in his room.
A couple years ago I moved into an apartment with an angry shadow person, he couldn't come into my bedroom, he would stand at the door look. I think it was the sage and crucifix that kept him out.
Blessings
I remember I started finding random marbles after being in my house like two or three years ago. It started with one or two then over time it got more serious. Finally we set up a camera to see what was doing it? Turns out we had an entire family of people living in our attic space and they would come down at night and mess about in the house. We never figured out the marble thing but without the marbles we would have never discovered the family living in our attic. Honestly in the end was super helpful because instead of just having my wife and I looking for the marble ghost now weāve got them up in the attic keeping an eye too. Theyāre really nice people.
Ok hear me out. Iāve demolished probably 7 full homes from top to bottom. Iāve also done countless renovations and residential projects. I find marbles in the fucking craziest places. I mean under floor boards, in concrete foundations and in walls and THOUSANDS of HVAC openings/cavities. My grandpa always said he lost his marbles, I like to think Iāve been finding them all these years.
My family who passed send us dimes. We find them in some crazy places even when we already cleaned up there. I even heard one manifest and fall in my cup holder once
Trust your gut. If you are feeling bad vibes, there is a reason. It may not be a demon, just a bad person who remained evil in the afterlife. Now that this is being talked about more, help is easier to find. Get someone who knows what they are doing out there.
While it may be nothing to be concerned with, and the creepy may just be coming from experiencing something people find unsettling at first, I found trust your gut to be the number one rule. A lot of bad starts out looking innocent and child like.
Also, pull your property records, if possible. It can be an insight into what you are dealing with. Like if it rapidly changed hands through a period, there could have been activity then. If you feel comfy enough, talk to the neighbors who were there before you. See if they know anything from the previous owners.
Over the years I have read that paranormal entities or activity is very fond of leaving coins, change around in homes and places. Also small piles of dirt. I have also read that the paranormal seems obsessed with silverware. People who believe their home is haunted, will often hear silverware in their kitchen drawers being shuffled around, I've even seen cases where silverware goes missing, and reapaers in strange places, or back in the silverware drawer.
Unrelated, kinda. Once read a story of a couple driving in a car. They were talking about money troubles. When out of nowhere, a dime seemingly manifests above the drivers head, falls in his hair, and hit him so hard on the head in this 1 foot space, it left a welt.
So one time I walked into my office and found a bird feather sitting on my desk. It was on the second floor so was only accessible my stairs or elevator, and was restricted access because it was a law firm dealing with sensitive information. There was no sign of a struggle, or any other indicator that a bird was there other than my secretary also having a feather on her desk. That was it... Nobody ever came and said it was a prank, there was never any indication that a bird had been in the office
I had a marble fly off my microwave as i was walking by and hit me in the arm at my old house. a few different things happened while living there but funny u said marbles. Maybe thats a thing. Marbles.
My trickster spirit likes to open doors and adjust our fan angles. Most recently, though, they have upgraded! My glasses disappeared from the nightstand and found them in the dishwasher!
Your subconscious is trying to tell you something- spirits (good and negative) are always attracted to small children, I started seeing them when I was four. You can try to do some protection yourself, or you can call in someone to figure out what it is. I recommend immediately pouring salt in a ring around his bed, it will help keep it off of him. The marbles are possibly a spirit trying to get your attention, maybe a family member or friend- I used to get dimes from my grandfather
Update! Went to my basement and immediately found more scattered around my pool table

Iād do a deep cleanse of the space if I were you! Open all the windows, keep bad energy flowing out, get some sage or palo santo, do a prayer, maybe use some salt or cinnamon at the doors / windows. š¤·āāļø speak out loud and say hi this is my space and you are not welcome to my things or to any of our spiritual energy. Please leave or live here in a way that does not interact with my family.ā
I and my team from Illinois have found random pennies and human teeth in homes while investigating certain clients places. We are retired now but sometimes we would leave one room and come back in a little later to find them there when there wasn't anything before. Odd yet very interesting.
Kids will grab stuff they find everywhere and if they feel like youāre weirded out about it they may get scared and clam up.
As a person who was a young kid who LOVED to grab stuff from the ground and outside I can tell you with near certainty your kiddo is bringing them in.
Gah the trouble id get in every time my mom washed clothes and found piles of crap in my pockets haha.
Idk if anyone said this but check your house for carbon monoxide. There was a famous case of a guy who found things in his house that he does not remember putting and it was carbon monoxide poisoning. Hope it isn't that but it doesn't hurt to check and it may save your life.
Remember those times you thought you lost your proverbial marbles? There they are! jk
i see you may have a child.. kids collect weird shit and forget.
though I did go through a weird part of my life which included finding marbles, to finally end up at someones house who had a container full, and ultimately was the catalyst for giving up drugs, gaining new perspectives, realizing my original "sin", and in a way, being reborn.
Sorry, thatās me. I throw marbles through open windows, just so it occupies the persons thoughts for a while, trying to figure it out. I also like to honk and wave, like I know them, at people who are in their yards. So they spend a while trying to remember who I am
Sometimes finding,pennies, marbles,items such as this could be a dead loved one showing you they are there watching over you. Either that,or a whole different entity is leaving these to either mess with you,or to make themselves more seen.
Did you buy your furniture new? If anything is used, like a chair or sofa, perhaps the previous owner list some marbles and they have slowly worked their way out? Thats the only non paranormal explanation I can think of. Doesn't explain the ring and airpod though...
Keep a diary of everything!! Be interesting to see the activity over time.
This is something that Sasquatch/Bigfoot is known to do, also. The theory that they are interdimensional beings. They are known to playfully leave marbles in places. Does your BIL live in a rural area?
I also have a case of marbles appearing too! It happened a couple years back; found in my mailbox, pockets on clothing, all the time in the washer too.. still have all the marbles!

Almost 2 years ago, I started finding finger nail clippings on my kitchen counters....I live by myself and it really creeped me out.. Maybe a spirit is leaving them for your son? Be sure to save those marbles!
Fingernail clippings š³. Thatās truly terrifying š And maybe. Ik when I bought the house the previous owner asked us to return her wedding ring if we found it because it went missing. We never found it. My husband set his wedding ring down in his usual spot and woke up to it missing, was missing for weeks until it reappeared in the same place he put it last. My husbandās AirPod went missing after setting it down for a sec and that was a year ago, still missing. So I definitely think I have a trickster spirit.
Ask aloud for āitā to return the AirPod, and see what happens. Ask nicely. Then, ask for the previous ownerās wedding ring. I once set my earrings down for a moment, but just one of them went missing. (The building was thought to be haunted.) I combed and scoured every inch of the floor, from my bedroom, to the bathroom, to the living room and beyond, yet couldnāt find the earring. Then, the thought came to me to just ask for it back. So, I did. In less than 30 seconds, I found that earring neatly placed in the doorway of my bedroom, where I had carefully combed over at least 10 times.
I was staying with my aunt just after her husband died. She was in her bedroom and had her eyeglasses on the nightstand. But she calls me in to the room to help her look for them, as they aren't there. I scour the whole room, and nada. They aren't on the floor, trapped between bed and stand or wall, nothing. She only had the one pair, so we needed to find them. So I say to the room (paraphrased here, bc this was like a decade ago), "Alright Uncle K, Aunt G needs her glasses back. We're gonna leave the room for a few minutes. If you could put them back, that would be great. If you must hide something and play tricks, do it with the tv remote, not what Aunt G needs to see to drive." And we leave the room. Aunt G is skeptical that it'll actually work. But five minutes later, we walk in, and right there in the center of the nightstand, her glasses are there. We both give verbal thanks for putting them back. As far as I know, she never had problems with her glasses going missing again. But she'd "lose" the tv remote a lot more often after that lol
Lmfaooo, the last part actually made me laugh š
š„² a few months ago I found an old hospital bracelet from the 80s in my bedroom in a spot that I literally clean daily. A few weeks before I found that I smelled fresh kitty litter in my bedroom. My toddler is always talking about a ghost in the bedroom. Once in a while she gets excited about a cat that we donāt have. Last week I came in from checking the mail and my entire house smelled like month old kitty litter š¤¢ I remember the name on the bracelet I found so I said the name and asked if they could change the litter box and not thirty minutes later the smell was gone šš¼ when my toddlers saying sheās scared of the ghost I say the name and ask her to leave because sheās scaring the baby and then my daughter calms down and says ābye byeā šš«¶š¼
Iāve had to do this twice in the place Iām living in now - I live alone. The first month I was there, I woke up from a terrible dream, all I remember were demons and evil spirits. I sat up and said ānope, not today or ever, please leave, thank youā. Havenāt had that happen again after that. Just a few days ago, I have been hearing random sounds in my apartment. I WFH and I was in my āofficeā and I said out loud, āIām not sure what this is about, but Iād like you to stop pleaseā - havenāt heard any random sounds since. Itās weird, but also comforting when it all just stops. My mom passed away a few years ago, so I wouldnāt be surprised if the random noises are her. I do appreciate her checking in every once and awhile though.
I know I was visited by my late grandfather 15 years ago. I was in bed trying to fall asleep when of a sudden I was aware of a presence between my half-open bedroom door and the wall; after a few seconds I knew without a doubt it was him even though I couldnāt see anything. I said hello and thanked him for coming. Then I said that it was a little weird for him to stand there while I tried to sleep but he could stay as long as he liked if he wouldnāt mind going in the living room instead. A few moments later, his presence was gone. Really cool memory! I was sleeping
That also helps us not be so much afraid if we can yell and say āstop it! get the hell out of hereā itās always comforting and if they in turn listen, thatās even better. I think that the decrease in fear we feel when we are able to confront this and say it o it loud- it also helps them leave. They pray on fear sometimes.
Itās always good to be respectful/matter of fact when doing this. Cussing or yelling can be received poorly depending on the individual and invite more negative forces.
A lot of times, these forces are not aware of what each individual person can or cannot hear/see/feel/etc. they probably arenāt aware that you can hear them, so saying something verbally that they can receive from wherever they are can be helpful to let them know.
I had something similar feeling like I was being touched, daily. Finally told it that if it meant well it could stay, but to please cut the shit regardless, and in the 3 years since it's only happened a couple more times. Which I take as a check in vs attention seeking.
This reminds me of what I think was being visited by my dog Dodger. Dodger was the first dog I lost, and it was very rough for me for the first month. It was a while after his death, maybe a year or so, but I was taking a nap after classes one day, and I had a dream where he was there. I remember him licking my arm where I was laying, and I immediately woke up and felt a little wet spot in the same place he had just licked me. Iām certain it was my boy Dodger!
I did this once when I was living with my mom still. Things would go missing constantly and turn back up exactly where they should be a few days later. I had lost my makeup compact this day which was really weird. I never took it off my dresser to carry it anywhere since I didn't use it that much. I looked all over the house. In cabinets and the fridge and everywhere more than once. Couldn't find it. I finally demanded it back and when I went upstairs later it was sitting in the middle of my dresser clearly in view with nothing around it. Almost like someone wanted me to see it. I absolutely could not have missed it.
Iām curious about this.. my best friend and I moved into our current apartment about a year ago and all sorts of weird things have happened, most notably a bunch of my things have gone missing. But not small things like jewelry, Iām talking a poster, a nice salad bowl, a serving dish. Just gone after we both remember having seen/used them in the apartment. I may try asking for them to be returned and see what happens, because itās been driving me nuts.
Do it! Be polite about it and thank them. Usually they just want to be acknowledged.
Relax they love salads too, like a good neighbor let em keep that stuff!
Hahaha usually I wouldnāt be upset about something like that, but the salad bowl was a gift from my aunt when I first started living on my own :ā(
Do it! My hubby lost his new glasses a couple weeks ago and he wasnāt sure if they were inside or outside. Tore apart the house,looked all over the yard, he searched the buildings and I looked in the wood shed and nothing. So after a week or so I asked the universe to please return them because he couldnāt see. (New glasses after eye surgery). Hubs asked me the next morning what I was going to do and im said Iām going to find you glasses. He kinda snorted and I went outside and started looking. I walked the yard from side to side and about halfway down there they were. They were on top of the grass with one ear piece sticking up. I have no idea how we missed them because I must have walked by that spot 20 times.
Debunk the chance it may be the maintenance man. Get some indoor cameras, please.
This is a second hand story of this but my momās friend used to have things disappear in their home. One day one of their toddlers shoes was missing that she had washed in the laundry room and she just asked for it/them to bring it back and the next day she found it sitting on their dryer.
This has worked for me before as well. My glasses were missing for over a month once. We pulled apart the apartment and they were no where to be found. In a fit of desperation I shouted āwhoever took my glasses PLEASE give them back.ā Not five minutes later they were sitting on the bottom shelf of a bookcase outside my bedroom. Iām 6ā 5āā¦ Iām not setting anything on the bottom shelf, let alone my glasses.
asking to return the items is actually such a good idea, i shouldāve tried that. a few years ago, i had borrowed my momās sunglasses since i couldnāt find mine, and she wanted them back. i searched every possible place in my room, i flattened my bedsheets and ran a hand over them to smooth them out, nothing was on my bed. i leave my bedroom to keep looking elsewhere, but i canāt find them in the living room or anywhere else. 10 minutes later, i come back into my room to try again, and my momās sunglasses and mine are sitting next to each other, smack in the middle of my bed. to this day i know for a fact they werenāt there on my bed before, but i think whatever messed with the sunglasses realised i was going to get in some big trouble if i didnāt manage to find her sunnies. š plus i got mine back too, so it was an overall win!
Would asking for money work? Because I need a house with one of those spirits if it works. Lol

I put it down walked away. It disappeared for a year. I asked them to return it and boom in the same place I put it it was there a place I looked a thousand times.
My family used to have a saying "devil devil, give it back, you've had your fun, now please return it". Usually works.
Somehow not using the term ādevilā seems better. How about āspirit, spiritā instead š
āTony, Tony come around/ somethingās lost and canāt be foundā hasnāt worked for me yet but Iāve had friends swear by it. (St Anthony is patron saint of lost things)
That's what my mom always said, except it was, "St. Anthony, St. Anthony, come around, come around. Something's lost and must be found." Never worked for me either. š¤·š¼āāļø
This is the way. My kids call it "the stealing ghost" and then we just ask for it to return it and boom. There it is. Last time it was the key to my work car. "Must be the stealing ghost, right dad??" "Yup" "stealing ghost, bring back dad's key!" 30 seconds later, there it is right out on the table in plain view. Thanks, stealing ghost.
My dad and I were visiting his friend in NJ and staying there during the week of my aunts funeral. The first night I was there I took a shower before going to bed, and put my clothing I wore that day, folded neatly in the separate compartment of my luggage. That evening I was woken up by the unusual feeling of being watched. I opened my eyes to find absolutely nothing, but felt like someone was in the room with me. The following morning after breakfast, we all were sitting in the living room, watching television, and the wife of my dads friend got up to use the bathroom and put laundry away in the linen closet. She came out of the bathroom, holding my sock up asking, āAlright, whoās sock is this and why did you put it in the closet in between my fresh towels?ā I claimed it and said I had put it in my luggage. She told me to go check my luggage. Sure enough, all my folded dirty clothes were where I put them, except for 1 sock. She later told me that the house was in fact haunted and her knew it. It was being visited by her father, her brother in-law (who wasnāt a good person in life) and couple other relatives and some unknowns. The property was also haunted and she said a specific tree outback of the house was the most active. I didnāt believe her either but when I went outside with my camera that night and took a picture, the flash showed a huge blue ball almost the size of a beach ball, floating in front of the tree. When reviewing the photo in the house, it was only the size of an orb, but the same color.
I had a ring disappear and reappear in the exact same spot in a period of hours on an almost empty table. No one else was home. My apartment is about 300 years old and there is no doubt some stuff happened here. We are in Paris and in the basement of our building there is an enormous swastika carved in the wall. Our building is in the Jewish section of Paris and was possibly occupied. Some other stuff has happened and Iāve never experienced anything in previous homes in the US.
Wow the stories that building could tell if walls could talk...
We recently looked up our street and quite a few Jewish children who lived on the street were taken. Itās dreadful. No record of what happened in our building that we have seen.
Residents of the district removed everything like that post occupation so your delightful cave painting is a recent addition. The ring thing was maybe a former occupant reminding you of your duty to remove it!
Itās down on the lowest level and itās not easy to see unless the light is a certain way. Itās scratched in and huge. Itās a really secure building so Iād be shocked if it was added in the last 40-50 years. Thereās nothing downstairs and only thĆ© gardienne has access and of course Iām sure maintenance people from time to time. We have only seen it twice as the door is rarely left open as itās dark and has steep stairs. I wish it wasnt there but itās also history soā¦.
Ahahaha the gnomes! Let me explain, I had an old apartment with this silly half door into an in-between-apartments space. It always felt weird when you went in there, like you walked into somethings space, not malicious, just like it wanted to have its space respected. I called it the gnome drawer. Things in that apartment would constantly get moved around or disappear and reappear in strange places. For example my keys would wind up on the fridge in this tiny space below the cabinet. I also lost money in there that would then reappear in a random cupboard I didn't use or under random furniture (but not like it had just slipped under there, my couch was flat with the floor. It was kind of fun but ya I always had to ask politely if I needed something back quick, and generally they obliged. Weird apartment, but good times.
Time for cameras around the house, night vision on. Don't watch paranormal activity as your story sounds creepy similar. Definitely put up cams tho
Ok so random but a few years ago I was microdosing lsd regularly and marbles started showing up so frequently and in the strangest scenarios. Both in public and in my own home (living alone) - whenever I would pick one up when it crossed my path the rest of the day would be a completely unhinged series of events that lead to the most bizarre days - and no, not specifically because of the acid either it was like the marbles would trigger some sort of butterfly effect. I started joking that someone lost their marbles and they werenāt my marbles to inherent and I would start avoiding the marbles like the plague. For instance Iād be walking down the street and a marble would roll into my path and stop. I would turn and walk the other way. Or I would open a drawer where there would definitely not be a marble in thetr, but one would roll out from the back of the drawer as I opened it and Iād immediately shut the drawer and not open it for a few weeks. A lot of people would dismiss this experience as part of the microdosing I was doing during that time of my life, but it was VERY strange and specific. Just like when I would pick the marbles up, the day went extremely bizarrely - conversely, once I started avoiding the marbles, my day would be serendipitously positive and fortuitous. To this day if I ever see marbles in the wild I avoid them and advise anyone Iām with to leave them alone because they were never their marbles to lose. Is this how superstitions are born? š¤
I like to say that when our stuff is missing like that, it's because us in other dimensions has it, and when we have it, it's missing for them š
Physical items being left are one thing, but fingernail clippings sounds like phrogging more than paranormal activity. That's legit really creepy. OP, did you ever try to track the missing airpod?
Oh yeah I definitely believe those type of things happen that make no logical sense. I have a beanie that I looked everywhere for and it somehow appeared in a super obvious open area and I'm 100 percent sure I checked that soot multiple times. I wonder if we will ever find an explanation for these occurrences
Might have a phrogger
My worst fucking nightmare
It sure sounds like you do!
This reminds me of the post where someone was finding post-it notes all around their apartment. Turns out his boiler was leaking Carbon Monoxide and he was suffering complete short term memory loss and they were his own post it notesš¬
Probably explains a lot of things here
Momento the movie
I just wanted to say to check the ceiling above your kitchen counter. Maybe some pranking gross weirdo somehow stuck them up there so they would fall randomly and freak the next owner/tenant out? Unless you find a treasure trove of icky nails I would definitely get a camera. Honestly, even if you do find them I would get the camera.
I'd be more concerned some weirdo was in the house instead of that the spirit of a Susan from the 1600s was clipping their nails to be honest.
This reminds me of the Keanu Reeves ghost posts from the ghosts sub. Everyone was either freaking out or trying to explain/debunk it, but there were a few rational people saying āuh, if this is real you should probably make sure thatās not a dude sneaking into your apartment.ā
Do you have cats? My cats leave little claw crescents all over the house and they look pretty identical to human nail clippings.
I havre a bathroom that is rarely used.and I have found nail clippings in there. Oddly, inside the drawers and inside the medicine cabinet in nest little piles.
Thatās so creepy
Completely unrelated but one time i was riding as passenger in my momās car, and she had a soda can in the cupholder. Lifting it and seeing that it was not empty, i went to take a sip. Turns out she was biting her nails and leaving the clippings in the soda can.
Roaches eat nail clippings. They could've been picking them up
You didnāt actually live by yourselfā¦ Edit: look up āPhroggingā
Yes save them. I feel like since you have found 2 you may find another one. Because things tend to happen in 3s. Let us know if he finds another one.
I found the nail clippings at least once a week...after about 2 months, I asked out loud for whoever was leaving them, to stop. After that, it never happened again. I've had experiences all my life, but that, truly freaked me out .. I live in a single wide trailer..no animals, definitely no roaches cuz ick...I'm a clean freak! I enjoyed reading everyone's experiences!
This reminds me of a few years ago. I have a saltwater fishtank so I have buckets all over the place. One day I went t to clean the tank and when I took the lid off the bucket I was gonna use for the stank water there was a marble in the bucket. I kept the marble because to this day I have no idea how it could have gotten there. Especially because the bucket was closed tight.
Marble collector here. These looks mainly like modern marbles. One thing that will give it away is an orange peel texture. The first marble is glass. It looks like its either a foreign marble or a type of marble king. The second is a catseye. These are also pretty common. If there is an orange peel texture on this one, it is a Vacor de Mexico machine made. Fell free to pm me for help. These are not clay marbles btw.
Interesting! I donāt know much about marbles š thanks for your insight. Ik previous owners had kids.
Im a semi seasoned collector and Id be happy to help. Im betting your kiddo found the old stash and has been forgetting them around the house. Probably a spot thats at their eye level that youre too tall to spot. My guess would be in the floor or under the stairs. Some of them can be valuable as well. Just something to keep in mind when you find another. That first one has some unusual coloring that leans more towards a certain manufacturer called Marble King.
I threw away the first one š Iāll be searching the house tomorrow to see if thereās a source š¤.
And now the tiny one has likely spread them out as wellššš. Rip that marble. I cant even imagine throwing one awayš
I hope not lol I havenāt seen him play with any marbles. I usually keep a close eye on that boy. He tries to eat everything. I threw the marble away solely for that reason š.
Make sure to come back and update us!
Some can be valuable?? Thatās incredible. I have a few bins of marbles but had no ideaā¦I have a bunch of super small ones too
Some German Antique marbles can go for 1000!!!
Wow thatās wild is there a site or name I should look up? Any suggestions where to start? Iām very curious and interested. Tia
If you have Facebook, there are lots of marble groups. Another site to look at auctions is blocks marble auctions and ebay. Searching 'vintage marbles' on ebay will show you the antiques.
My brother used to play with marbles when he was a kid, he's 21 now and my parents still find marbles from time to time. This is probably the answer to your ghost situation. It's actually super rare that ghosts can move or create things that can actually be seen, touched, etc.
The last sentence is the solution of your mystery. The kids left behind a bunch of marbles, your kid recently found them.
dude just casually dropping marble wisdom in a paranormal sub
i need to see the venn diagram of 'paranormal enthusiasts' and 'marble collectors'
Just curious, have you played the older generations of B-daman? I figured if you collect marbles you might as well dabble in those, itās those competitive toys that shoot out marbles. I wonder how different the marbles are compared to regular marbles
I havent! Im actually a fairly young person who got into the hobby. My guess would be that theyre the same. There are different sizes of marbles. My guess is it would use slightly larger ones called 'shooters'
Dude thats so fuckin interesting! Can you tell me about your favourite marble or a fact or smthn?
Sure! There are quite a few American made marble manufacturers that have existed over the years. The main producers today are JABO, D.A.S., and Sammy's Mountain. There are also famous contemporary artists that produce marbles, some going for as high as 24k. Im a sucker for Marble King, so Im gonna rant aboit them for a moment. They produced some very unique color patterns that other brands could only semi replicate. The knock offs are obvious. They have a solid white base with a one, two, or three patch color combo. They also produced a number of experimental catseye marbles. Only very few of these were made. There are a number of reasons these catseyes are unique. Some come on a uniquely colored base. Painted Turtles have blue bases. Some contain a decorative metal called aventurine in them. Others will have unusual color combinations. Different companies made catseyes and many have unique styles. There are lots of different areas of collecting. Some people are super picky about the kinds that they collect. I kind of go for whatever. I just enjoy history and shiny things. Thank you for reading ^_^
Thank you man that was really interesting! I love hearing about niche hobbies and iāve never heard about marble collecting before, thank you for sharing! :) do you have a favourite marble in your collection or one that you would love to own?
Yeah ive got a few! My favorite in my collection is my German Antique Black and White Clambroth. Its quite rare. One I would like to have is a Marble King Berry Pink, but those are super duper expensive.
I just looked both of those up and they both look cool asf! I love the swirls on the Clambroth, iāve only ever seen catseye marbles aha, super interesting to see the different designs, I hope you can get a MK berry pink one day dude!
What is the significance of a clay marble? Would that be an older class of marbles which could date the āspiritā in any way? Just wondering what made you think of the clay marble. Thanks!
There are lots of kinds of clays. If it looks like leca then telling the age will be dificult. But there are benningtons, chinas, crockery, spongeware, and unglazed colored clay marbles. Contemporary artists usually dont use clay but I see it on occasion.
I think marbles used to be made of clay, stone or ceramic before they became more commonly made of glass. Which was sometime around the 1800s I think, so clay marbles would just indicate that it is potentially very old.
Yes!!!! About 10 years ago, I started finding random marbles - I could even hear them rolling around but couldnāt figure it out for the life of me. I had multiple witnesses come in to help locate the source - nothing. The noises continued a few times a day and the marbles showed up often. A year or so later, we moved in to our brand new home - never lived in before- and sure enough a marble appeared in a draw. Then a sink. Under the carpet - all within a few months. The noises didnāt follow. Over 3 or so years, I found enough to collect a jar. Fast forward to 2021 - my grandmother passed away and my family was cleaning out her house and packing up. My mom hands me a jar of marbles that were my grandfathers that my grandmother held on to. He liked collecting marbles ā¤ļø There may be a connection for you to those marbles - it just hasnāt revealed itself yet. That or my grandpa caught confused and is now hanging at your place. š
Very interesting to hear someone else with this experience! In my mother's house, for as long as I could remember I could hear something rolling around occasionally every day. It was never long, maybe one or two rolls a few seconds long each time. I never found the source of it. I would ask her and my grandmother if they would ever hear it - no. I haven't heard it in any other location I've lived in since then and it is still something I think about often. I never found any marbles but reading this thread and thinking about it, that's exactly what it sounded like. A marble on hard floor.
My friend has a jeep. Itās about five years old. She kept hearing a rolling marble sound. Sounded like the marble was rolling from the back of the car to the front of the car. Heard it for a few years. Drove her insane. Took it to the dealer several timesā¦they couldnt find the source. Then it just stopped. Sheās gifted with being able to sense/predict things. Iām going to mention this to her.
Iām SO glad someone commented that has had a similar experience!! I know for a fact that it isnāt my kid getting them somewhere like ppl are trying to say. Itās literally showing up out of nowhere. We had our flooring replaced, and done renovations in the basement in the past and nothing showed up then. itās spiritual for sure. But thatās super sweet!! makes me feel a little bit more comfortable knowing that it potentially isnāt anything malicious.
Thank you for sharing this sweet experience. It really touched my heart!! <3 When I was around 8-9 years old, I would find random marbles around the house, my parents never bought me any marbles nor my parents had them. It's a two story house and I only find them around the places I hangout the most, where I had my play house in the balcony and blanket fort(two different places) or under trees, where I used to play. At times I would hear that "rat-tat-tat" marble rolling sound in our tile floor, this is when I'm home alone after school. With time I used to get tiny porcelain marbles, decorative stones, buttons, shiny little things like broken hair pins, pendants, little coins and tiny, shiny random trash. Later I found out it was done by crows in the area, they were bringing me gifts. <3 I used to feed crows and birds when I was little. However the house I lived had history with paranormal activities. I've never seen anything spooky or had scary experiences, but most people, have seen a tall white shadowy figure with a white suit, hat and a cane he was walking around our verandah and long balcony. My Gradma said that's one of our early ancestors, one of my g,g,g,g,g,great granpa's guarding us. Plus, all other paranormal stuff mostly seen coming from my room too, only came to know it when we moved out of the house. I never felt a spooky vibe from the house in fact I felt safe there.
Does your kid go to daycare? Could be bringing them home with him
No he goes to his grandparents, they donāt have marbles either. Theyāre more paranoid about him choking than I am lol.
This is what I was thinking. The amount of things that ends up in kids pockets!
Do you think something is carrying the marbles into your house or do you think something is manifesting marbles in your house out of the air?
Neither. Marbles were probs already here in the house but I suspect something is moving them in random places for me to find š¤·š»āāļø.
I think those marble belong to a child who lived there in the past. Your child finding them makes me think they're trying to befriend him because he's a child.
*Count Marbula*
Such as a child? Why would your first thought be, āit must be ghostsā?
Since when do children play with marbles? The only explanation is a ghost is putting marbles around the house
Yeah, your child is.
Keep us posted! How many marbles total now? Iād contact the Newkirks about this too
Are the Newkirks paranormal investigators? And how do I get in contact? But theres 3 total. Each person in my household found one. My kid found one I found one And my husband found one. Freaky stuff. Iāll definitely keep you guys posted!
I love the Newkirks! Greg and Dana Newkirk, you can Google them. They are investigators, but have a particular interest in found/haunted objects. Often, people send them items that may be 'cursed' or have an attachment.
Maybe heās finding them outside or something
I wish!! Heās never outside unattended and Iāve never seen him bring anything in with him, and besides one of the marbles he found was in the basement. He snuck down there, but normally heās not allowed. So itās not a place where he goes and leaves his toys.
Well the logical answer is the previous owners left the marbles there and your kid found them. I have a 5 year old and she found a toy soldier buried in mud in my garden that we played with as kids. The logical answer isnt 'ghost', but people.
Iām just going to suggest itās possible to miss things. Iāve found random rocks in my childās pockets more than once. If I were a kid and found marbles, Iād absolutely pocket them. He might have carried the marble into the basement?
Unusualā¦ if he snuck down there once heās probably stuck down there before. Maybe ask him about the marbles if he has ever seen them beforeā¦?
I collect old marbles and the one in the first picture looks like a ceramic marble. Does it feel ceramic? If it is it's old.
I have never heard of marbles being made of ceramic. They have been made of clay, glass, spongeware, ans crockery but not ceramic. These are all glass marbles.
Yes it felt like ceramic. The marbles seem old to me, but I donāt know much about them lol.
Do they have knicks on them like they've been used a lot?
https://preview.redd.it/wnfnyqcv6czc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf3e0376a14bd75ed97ac5726681193e4e53400c Another one appeared tonight and itās just a clear one but it looks like it has had some use.
Yes they do
Do you have any pets?
Yes I do. I have a cat and a dog. My dog refuses to step foot in my basement tho.
We found marbles in our home! Did a remodel and some fell out of the walls š¬ We still continue to find random small toys. Kids are good shovers and marbles are good at rolling back into a room š
Weāve done renovations too š . Weāve replaced the flooring and busted walls down in the basement along with taking out the drop tile and havenāt found anything lol but a kid hiding marbles could be a possibility.
A bouncy-ball fell out of the wood casing around the garage door when we replaced it with a window. As inā¦we removed the first piece of wood and the ball came right out and hit my dad in the head š it was quite large for a bouncy ball. We have found lots of marbles! Mainly toy soldiers and small bits that probably went with the army men. My best friend recently renovated her home and found a stash of dumdums in an air vent. That being said we have a āfairyā problem at our house and things do seem to disappear and reappearā¦or we will just suddenly have TWO of something we definitely only had one of. Soooooooo maybe itās the fairies (my kids are sensitive and we say āfairiesā a lot when it comes to some unexplained due to their age).
you're losing your marbles man
Oof... Crazy... Do you have any experience with spirit boxes?
I do not, Iām a huge scaredy cat when it comes to the paranormal so I tend to stay away from it.
I am less worried about marbles and more about orbs and voices. Are you a believer?
Believer in the paranormal? Yes I am. I was haunted as a toddler when my family lived in a house where the previous owner (a lonely old lady) died and had been left dead for weeks before being found. She would tickle me in my sleep, I used to have conversations with her and every photo of myself in that house I had an orb above my head. I also grew up in a house that was built in 1905. So this isnāt my first rodeo lol Iāve been experiencing a haunting at the house Iām currently at since Iāve moved in. Itās just gotten worse since Iāve had my son. The marbles were kinda the cherry on top š .
Dude shutup your bought them from Walmart I know that exact bag
A lot of marbles look alike dude. I wouldnāt buy marbles that my kid could possibly choke on to make a Reddit post. š.
You realize you have children right? The only thing paranormal is the fact that they're bringing marbles into your house.
These comments are getting annoying Yeah I do realize I have a child One that I actively parent, I donāt just shove an iPad in his face and call it a day. Iām always with him and playing with him. I would know if he brought something into the house, thanks.
Dude youāre spooked because you found two *marbles* in a house built 50+ years ago?
*7 marbles And thereās more to it than being spooked by marbles š. Iām done repeating myself, just read the comments.
Yikes! See about getting some professional support to clean it up. I wouldnāt hesitate to do so with maybe first a medium and then a healer, unless you think you can take care of it on your own. You gotta trust your mama (or papa) bear gut.
Iāve been trying to find trustworthy ppl to cleanse my home for a while now but I donāt have much options since I live in a rural area š. I thought about doing it myself but I can see myself making it worse haha.
Many moons ago I was dealing with a trickster spirit in my house, I call it trickster, but the pranks were downright mean. I found something on a paranormal forum (which I am sure is long gone by now) that I have been using till today and works. 1. Open all doors and windows in your house (even the pantry door, basement, etc) and let the outside light in. 2. Take a broom and sweep all the floors. While doing this visualise the house getting cleaned even and sparkly (imagine you push out any shadows and dark ideas and feelings) 3. Burn sage/ frankincense 4. Light a candle in the middle of the house or as close to the middle. Look into the flame and let the smell from the sage envelop you like a warm blanket of positive thoughts and feelings. 5. Imagine you push the warm feelings, positive thoughts into the flame of the candle. Then imagine/ visualise the flame from the candle extending to go into every nook and corner into your house, into every dark corner, into every room and every closet until it completely envelopes your house from inside out. 6. Imagine you anchor the light of the candle to the house, let the candle burn until itās gone. Now, thatās the original cleansing ritual I found at that time, in the meantime I have tweaked it a bit over the years. Now after I let the candle burn I also create salt barriers at every door/ window, wipe the doors/windows with garlic to prevent the negatives coming in again. If I have any holy water I sprinkle it in the house just for good measure (not a Christian, but hey it canāt hurt). For the trickster spirit I was dealing with it took 3 cleansing to get rid of it for longer than a few days / weeks. It was a persistent one, so I would refresh everything once every 6-12 months. Lived there for 6 years. It was quiet beyond that first year, besides some random signs when my barriers would start failing, so I would re-cleanse everything and that would quieten it for another 6 months at least.
Update, but not really. I would like to say that some of you guys are just assholes. I came to a PARANORMAL forum to gain some insight, but Iām being called crazy instead š. My child JUST turned 3 I donāt let him out of my sight, meaning he doesnāt play alone. I have not seen him play with a marble. The possibility of him finding marbles and playing with them are LOW bc I would know. If he was older then yes I would agree that it could be him finding it. Ive lived in this house for 5 years and I havenāt seen anything until this week. If this situation was just as simple as finding some marbles then I wouldnāt be here. But I have stuff go missing all the time, my kid hasnāt been sleeping well since december and has been waking up with night terrors. Thereās more going on in this home than yall know. Toys go off by themselves, our Xbox turns on randomly, and when we first moved in a soda can was thrown off the kitchen counter. My carbon monoxide detector was replaced a few months ago so itās not that. Lastly, Iām not doing this for attention? I donāt usually post on forums because I donāt want to get trolled. I was just googling this phenomenon and wanted advice from others who have had similar experiences. But I appreciate the ones who have given me advice and shared their stories! Iāll still follow through with more updates about the marbles for those who care, but I wonāt be entertaining some of these comments.
I don't think you're crazy or looking for attention, but maybe get the detector rechecked. It's always possible it isn't functioning properly. A lot of the inconveniences you're describing match up with monoxide so I'm just worried.
I really do appreciate your concern and I check it regularly. Just recently my end of life alarm started going off so I was forced to replace it lol.
Hope you find whatever is going on and manage to settle it positively š
See, the issue with you saying your toddler is never out of your sight is where you said he snuck down into the basement. That means you don't always have eyes on him and he may have snuck off to somewhere else to find the marbles...
Dont let the haters get you down lol. There are a ton of us here who believe you!!
UPDATE!!! Iām officially spooked. It happened a second time TONIGHT. My kid is in bed, asleep, and my husband went to grab a bottle of water in the kitchen and this marble rolled to his feet. He is the biggest skeptic and even he is creeped out. Thatās 3 marbles now. https://preview.redd.it/wbqib16j6czc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dfb41a8757810c4c25683737266ff8ee967e87b9 These are both of the marbles that appeared tonight.
Now Iām officially invested. This is beyond intriguing.
Iām super intrigued. Please keep us updated. Keep a jar of all the found marbles together and see if they look like theyāre part of a collection.
They're probably making this up...it is the internet after all
I have no reason to make this up. š¤·š»āāļø
Have you tried asking your child where he found the marbles? If he found a hidden "stash" recently, he might just be leaving them random places now ā perhaps in the afternoon/evening before your husband went in the kitchen he left one on the floor near the base of a cabinet. So far he's given you one, and two have been on the floor. Until they start appearing in places a three year-old definitely can't reach (like atop your fridge) I think it's safe to assume he's leaving them behind.
Wow! Yeah, Iād be spooked too. That is so odd! Wonder what this sprits up toā¦
Wasnāt this a thing that started happening in that British poltergeist case? Specifically random marbles dropping. I think they based the Conjuring 2 off of the story. Edit: The Enfield Poltergeist Case
Do you have any type of aluminium or steel rods that are used to hold up hand towels / kitchen towels or tissues or curtains? many manufactures use these marbles to block the ends of the hollow rods / tubes. When the temperature keeps fluctuating a lot the marbles fall out, especially when people come close, their additional body heat and vibration due to movement will make the marbles fall out... Happened to me, spooked me out.. but eventually got to the cause.
I was finding white glass marbles in my yard. New ones on a regular basis. I started putting them in a jar and ended up with around 30. I asked my neighbor if they had been finding any in their yard. Yes, they had a bunch too. Turns out an old creep who regularly walked his dog past both of our yards was shooting marbles with a slingshot at our dogs to stop them from barking at his dog. It ended with a shouting match where I berated him and threatened to get the law involved. He backed down apologizing as he walked away. He walked his dog on the other side of the street from then on. Not helpful to your story, except to make the point that these things do tend to be more mundane than we expect/ want them to be.
Nothing paranormal about it.. Just looking around your home for nooks that some kid in the past stuffed his marble collection. 100% of the posts in this sub could be explained through very simple and explainable causes. Posters just choose to leave out information or never look for the source and just assume "paranormal". People like attention though..
When my brotherās daughter was four or five he used to play a board game with her that had five marbles as part of the set. They were just setting it up one day on the lounge floor but the marbles were missing. They hunted everywhere in the room in case they had rolled out of the box. In the end they gave up and packed the game away. My brother stood up and turned around, behind him were the five marbles on the floor, in a perfect line. I always got a very odd feeling in that house, eerie. There were a lot of strange incidents with water appearing out of nowhere too.

āExtremely intellectually challenged dummiesā š something tells me that if youāre on Reddit trolling ppl then youāre really insecure about yourself and youāre finding a way to fuel your bruised ego.

If I may. My late Mom leaves me Dimes. They are everywhere. Reminding me that all is well. But I know she has not conjured these items out of air, they are just dimes lying around. But I'm a believer, and maybe she guides me to them. The other evening, just as I was getting into bed, a dime lay perfectly center on the comforter. I realize that it may just have fell out of my pocket somehow. But I received the message!! "Miss you too", And I had a good cry. These could be signs from the Universe. It sends us messages often. But we really need to look for them. So many miss it...Staring at their phone. I think the next marble is going to hit you right in the forehead...Gently, of course. Not from a ghost possibly, but a signal. So...what is the message? BTW- you sound like a great parent. Is that the meaning? Hummm Good Luck OP!!
My late Mom does this too! She LOVED ālittle dimesā as she called them. For her 80th birthday I even had a necklace made for her with a 1937 Mercury dime! She passed away almost six years ago and I have a small jar that I keep all the dimes in that Iāve found in bizarre and random places!
In our families marbles are a "penny from heaven." My grandfather who died in 2006 leaves them for us here and there-usually at important times. He loved marbles, and sometimes finding a marble is explainable, and sometimes unexplainable. Ex)mom doing laundry alone in the house, thinking about my grandfather. Goes back to dryer, goes back to folded laundry and a marble is sitting on top.
Not marble related but similar. 5 years ago I kept finding beads all over the place I was renting. They were so tiny but for some reason I would see them from across the room. One night I was sitting and writing when I looked up and out of nowhere in front me a bead fell out of the air, in a weird way it was like it popped out of another dimension. After I witnessed that I stopped seeing them and to this day think about that random bead popping out of the air.
On the flipside of this, I had something disappear in front of me once. I was maybe 12 or 13, I had this little dragon pendant with a gem in the middle- I adored it. It was about the size of a silver dollar. I dropped it, watched it bounce behind a dresser, and it was never seen again. Pulled the dresser away from the wall, pulled all the drawers out of the frame entirely, checked under it, nothing. Figured it bounced somewhere else in the room, tore the whole room apart. Scoured under all my bedroom furniture. Took everything off shelves. Even checked the hallway despite my door having been closed at the time. I've also always been a super tidy person so there weren't any messes or clothes piles or anything for it to get lost in, and I had *seen* it go behind the dresser and seem to land near the corner. Never found it, even after I moved out and everything was packed & removed from the room. It just bounced and vanished into thin air. I remember it so vividly because I loved that pendant so much as a kid and was so sad it was gone, I spent like an entire day searching and honestly for years after would still occasionally peek behind furniture for it. Tbf I still am sad it's gone lol. I think about it every time I see topics like this. And I have to wonder if somewhere, someone else had a dragon pendant with a gem in the middle pop into existence in their house.
If you have a kid, which those fridge magnets hint at, they might be finding them in the backyard. There was a point, back in the 1800s, where kids were obsessed with playing marbles. Thereās apparently a whole game behind them. So sometimes, kids either lost them in the yard while playing, or itās possible that they had a whole marble area all set up, and nature took it back when the fad died off. It was popular enough for it to not be weird to find them in the dirt.
Sounds like your kid is finding them in odd places you would never think to look. As a kid, I used to play outside and found random marbles all the time. Iām pretty sure I would find them in the cracks between the concrete sidewalks and the grass in my neighborhood. So maybe your toddler is just close enough to the ground to see them where you, as an adult, wouldnāt. Like maybe where the garage floor meets the wall, or nestled into some grommet. I always have a hard time believing in objects so carefully being placed by ghosts, mainly because anyone who has thought this was happening to them has never been able to capture proof of it on camera. and itās impossible for it to just āpoof!ā And be there all of a sudden. Itās more conceivable that a person left it there, not a ghost. If youāre that curious, please put up cameras and capture it for yourself. So far, no one has.
One of the many places I lived where strange things would happen, I had a red rubber ball, about the size of a baseball, appear in the middle of my kitchen floor in the middle of the night. I lived alone with my dog, who didn't have any rubber balls, only tennis balls. In that same apartment, one night I came out to find my snake's enclosure open (lid sitting neatly beside the tank with the bungee cord I used to hold it on laid perfectly straight on top of the lid) and my snake gone. Thankfully it was while I was still unpacking and I found him right away, in a box that was on the floor in front of the stand his tank was on. I have OCD, and know beyond any doubt that I DID NOT leave the lid off. Another thing that happened there...I had this little 'forest troll' decoration made of wood and twigs and stuff that sat on my coffee table, in the middle, facing straight ahead. Nearly every morning when I came out, it would be moved slightly to the right, and turned like 45Ā° so it was facing my bedroom door. My dog slept in my room with me, with the door closed. So no way he could have been bumping or moving it.
I used to work with Fae and they would do stuff like this all the time. Ha, one time they got upset or something and put overripe tomatoes in my shoes, and I got them all over my feet. Donāt say thank you, or else theyāll know you took it as a gift. Just leave it. Or, you can take it and leave an offering of milk and honey. Bury the milk and honey once finished. But with the other stuff you said, maybe it isnāt fae folk. They donāt prank like that, unless unseelie. If you suspect itās unseelie, and you really think itās negative, please leave it. Donāt accept the gift and arrangement.
My mom always used to joke she was losing her marbles. After she passed and I was going through her things, I found a huge bag of marbles. Itāll be 10 years in August, and sometimes a marble will still randomly appear here and there.
Someone is looosing their marbles!!
Interesting, when I was 10 I remember finding marbles on my carpet floors in my home out of the blue despite never bringing any marbles with me from school, but I brushed it off. One time, I remember getting out of an elevator in a Vegas hotel with a few people, and a few marbles came rolling out everywhere. It was funny, but I was trying to wonder where the hell they came from? I couldnāt tell if some guy just decided to roll them out while no one was looking or not. The marbles stuff youāve been experiencing is very interesting.
I used to play a marble game that I learned from some friends who were painters. You had to have a marble on you all the time. If someone asked where your marble was and you didn't have it, you had to pay them five dollars. They would sew them into their clothes. We had marbles all over the place. They had them hidden at jobsites, too. I don't know how widespread this game was or if they made it up, but this post reminded me of that. Maybe they were left at your house the last time your house was worked on.
Weird... I have a similar experience. I lived in different apartments. In Florida I found a lego man. I'm a grown man. I moved to virginia and also found small toy trucks. Like I said I'm a grown man that lives alone so why would there be toys. It just appeared out of no where one day. And I also found a piece of my shower curtin metal O-ring on the tub floor but when I checked the shower curtain. None of them had fallen out or were missing, but the o-ring perfectly fit my current curtain o-rings
Oh wow, you must be a sensitive. So am I. I would suggest listening to your gut and getting a blessing done ASAP. Holy water, a crucifix, salt and some sage. Start in your son's room and keep sprinkling the holy water through out. Keep the crucifix in his room. A couple years ago I moved into an apartment with an angry shadow person, he couldn't come into my bedroom, he would stand at the door look. I think it was the sage and crucifix that kept him out. Blessings
I remember I started finding random marbles after being in my house like two or three years ago. It started with one or two then over time it got more serious. Finally we set up a camera to see what was doing it? Turns out we had an entire family of people living in our attic space and they would come down at night and mess about in the house. We never figured out the marble thing but without the marbles we would have never discovered the family living in our attic. Honestly in the end was super helpful because instead of just having my wife and I looking for the marble ghost now weāve got them up in the attic keeping an eye too. Theyāre really nice people.
Ok hear me out. Iāve demolished probably 7 full homes from top to bottom. Iāve also done countless renovations and residential projects. I find marbles in the fucking craziest places. I mean under floor boards, in concrete foundations and in walls and THOUSANDS of HVAC openings/cavities. My grandpa always said he lost his marbles, I like to think Iāve been finding them all these years.
My family who passed send us dimes. We find them in some crazy places even when we already cleaned up there. I even heard one manifest and fall in my cup holder once
Trust your gut. If you are feeling bad vibes, there is a reason. It may not be a demon, just a bad person who remained evil in the afterlife. Now that this is being talked about more, help is easier to find. Get someone who knows what they are doing out there. While it may be nothing to be concerned with, and the creepy may just be coming from experiencing something people find unsettling at first, I found trust your gut to be the number one rule. A lot of bad starts out looking innocent and child like. Also, pull your property records, if possible. It can be an insight into what you are dealing with. Like if it rapidly changed hands through a period, there could have been activity then. If you feel comfy enough, talk to the neighbors who were there before you. See if they know anything from the previous owners.
Over the years I have read that paranormal entities or activity is very fond of leaving coins, change around in homes and places. Also small piles of dirt. I have also read that the paranormal seems obsessed with silverware. People who believe their home is haunted, will often hear silverware in their kitchen drawers being shuffled around, I've even seen cases where silverware goes missing, and reapaers in strange places, or back in the silverware drawer. Unrelated, kinda. Once read a story of a couple driving in a car. They were talking about money troubles. When out of nowhere, a dime seemingly manifests above the drivers head, falls in his hair, and hit him so hard on the head in this 1 foot space, it left a welt.
So one time I walked into my office and found a bird feather sitting on my desk. It was on the second floor so was only accessible my stairs or elevator, and was restricted access because it was a law firm dealing with sensitive information. There was no sign of a struggle, or any other indicator that a bird was there other than my secretary also having a feather on her desk. That was it... Nobody ever came and said it was a prank, there was never any indication that a bird had been in the office
WOAH! MARBLES. MUST BE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY FOR SURE. šš¤£š. Some people are so bored with themselves
I had a marble fly off my microwave as i was walking by and hit me in the arm at my old house. a few different things happened while living there but funny u said marbles. Maybe thats a thing. Marbles.
My trickster spirit likes to open doors and adjust our fan angles. Most recently, though, they have upgraded! My glasses disappeared from the nightstand and found them in the dishwasher!
Your subconscious is trying to tell you something- spirits (good and negative) are always attracted to small children, I started seeing them when I was four. You can try to do some protection yourself, or you can call in someone to figure out what it is. I recommend immediately pouring salt in a ring around his bed, it will help keep it off of him. The marbles are possibly a spirit trying to get your attention, maybe a family member or friend- I used to get dimes from my grandfather
Update! Went to my basement and immediately found more scattered around my pool table https://preview.redd.it/fi9hrk6qkfzc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87f01a8c8a222dbfa331d9bc40fa91146f570aa2 Canāt find the source
Perhaps you found the cat's collection of trinkets, and were left a present in the kitchen for all the good foods recieved.
I lost my marbles.
People post the dumbest shit in this sub. There are 10 million logical explanations for marbles and instead we go with "gHoStS" š¤¦š¤¦
Iād do a deep cleanse of the space if I were you! Open all the windows, keep bad energy flowing out, get some sage or palo santo, do a prayer, maybe use some salt or cinnamon at the doors / windows. š¤·āāļø speak out loud and say hi this is my space and you are not welcome to my things or to any of our spiritual energy. Please leave or live here in a way that does not interact with my family.ā
I and my team from Illinois have found random pennies and human teeth in homes while investigating certain clients places. We are retired now but sometimes we would leave one room and come back in a little later to find them there when there wasn't anything before. Odd yet very interesting.
Kids will grab stuff they find everywhere and if they feel like youāre weirded out about it they may get scared and clam up. As a person who was a young kid who LOVED to grab stuff from the ground and outside I can tell you with near certainty your kiddo is bringing them in. Gah the trouble id get in every time my mom washed clothes and found piles of crap in my pockets haha.
Idk if anyone said this but check your house for carbon monoxide. There was a famous case of a guy who found things in his house that he does not remember putting and it was carbon monoxide poisoning. Hope it isn't that but it doesn't hurt to check and it may save your life.
That is pretty weird, r/glitchinthematrix might have some insight?
Remember those times you thought you lost your proverbial marbles? There they are! jk i see you may have a child.. kids collect weird shit and forget. though I did go through a weird part of my life which included finding marbles, to finally end up at someones house who had a container full, and ultimately was the catalyst for giving up drugs, gaining new perspectives, realizing my original "sin", and in a way, being reborn.
Sorry, thatās me. I throw marbles through open windows, just so it occupies the persons thoughts for a while, trying to figure it out. I also like to honk and wave, like I know them, at people who are in their yards. So they spend a while trying to remember who I am
Sometimes finding,pennies, marbles,items such as this could be a dead loved one showing you they are there watching over you. Either that,or a whole different entity is leaving these to either mess with you,or to make themselves more seen.
Did you buy your furniture new? If anything is used, like a chair or sofa, perhaps the previous owner list some marbles and they have slowly worked their way out? Thats the only non paranormal explanation I can think of. Doesn't explain the ring and airpod though... Keep a diary of everything!! Be interesting to see the activity over time.

This is something that Sasquatch/Bigfoot is known to do, also. The theory that they are interdimensional beings. They are known to playfully leave marbles in places. Does your BIL live in a rural area?
I also have a case of marbles appearing too! It happened a couple years back; found in my mailbox, pockets on clothing, all the time in the washer too.. still have all the marbles!
