So, I'll preface this by saying that I am one of the most logical/rational thinking people I know. I never accept anything as fact without any sort of proof of evidence.
Anyways, I live on the 1000 Islands regions of the St. Lawrence River. Most of these islands have gigantic, old ass houses (there's even some castles). The region is pretty well known for "paranormal activity" and many of these mansions have been featured on ghost hunting type television shows.
Anyways, when I was younger my dad used to work for some rich dude who owned a mansion on one of these islands, and during the summer he would go to his other homes in the Yucatan or Cabo or whatever and let us hang out on his island.
So, I was young, and I heard stories that the place was haunted, so I do admit that my perception could have been altered by those facts. But some weird stuff definitely happened there all the time. There were parts of the house that you would walk in to and immediately be ice cold (this was the middle of summer). At night I would hear the Jukebox turn on, and I'd hear the sounds of people playing billiards late in the night well after everyone had gone to sleep. Finally, I woke up at point in the middle of the night, and it felt like someone was sitting at the foot of the bed, even though no one was there. Then suddenly that part of the bed rose up as if someone had stood up. That pretty much cemented my belief that there is something to ghost stories.
Everyone that has spent time there has experienced the same stuff, including the owners. They said it took awhile to get used to. I'm not sure if it's related to souls or the afterlife or instead has some explanation in science that we don't know yet, but there was definitely unexplainable things going on.
UFOs... maybe. Again, when I was younger I woke up to some crazy vibrating through the house. It was kind of like a plane was flying right over the house, but it was moving way too slow to be a plane, and it didn't sound like a helicopter. I could tell the sound was coming from the west (behind me) and it approached very slowly, until it felt like it was right over the house and it stopped moving. It was just this throbbing/vibrating sound that was shaking the walls and such slightly. This whole thing probably lasted about 10 minutes, and then just quickly faded away. I still have a pretty vivid memory of it, since it kinda scared the shit out of me at the time.
So, I don't know about any sort of alien-type UFO since I didn't get to see it or anything. But it was pretty strange. I live near a military base (and a really small airbase that was always inexplicably empty), so the possibility of some sort of experimental aircraft (or something) is definitely possible.
