I was alone in a big, old mansion for a work assignment. At night, I heard a woman sobbing. I followed the sound to an empty room. As I entered, the temperature dropped suddenly. I saw a shadow on the wall that seemed to have the shape of a woman in an old - fashioned dress. I immediately left the room and the mansion the next day.
I used to live in an old apartment building. One night, I heard a baby crying in the empty apartment next to mine. I thought maybe someone had left a baby there by mistake. But when I went to check, the apartment was completely empty. The crying continued for a while and then just stopped. It was really creepy and made me wonder if there was some sort of lost spirit there.
