A Fresh Start? Not Exactly by Aliendewd

Carrying on from my previous stories. We moved to a house my Dad had renovated. It had previously been a shell of a 2 up 2 down but my Dad converted it to a 3 bedroom home for us. It was built around 1900 and was a classic Sandstone terraced house - a beautiful building if truth be known. We move...

Dechmont Experiences 2 by Aliendewd

Following on from my first post, there were one or two more experiences I had in this house. One when my sister and I were sharing a room. It was to memory a huge double bedroom, well huge for two young kids anyway. Situated at the back of the property, first room on the right at the top of the sta...

Dechmont Experiences by Aliendewd

Back in the 70's when I was but a wee boy we lived in a Council House situated in the village of Dechmont in west Lothian. I couldn't have been any older than two years old at the time of this experience yet the memory remains as clear today as the night it happened. My bedroom was at the front o...

A Child's Scare by caledonia

For our own reasons we are not disclosing any names. My husband and I have looked after our granddaughter since she was 3 months old. When she was just 2 years old we lived in a two bed ground floor house. Just to give people the shape of the house, our living room and our granddaughter's room face...

Was Is Just A Dream? by Angelbailey66

I have always been a fan of the paranormal but never really experienced anything until I moved into my new house with my husband. I had just moved into my new house with my husband and because we had just moved in, we didn't have a bed yet so we decided to sleep in the living room. My husband was...

Leith Haunting by Aliendewd

A few years ago I found myself in the unfortunate position of being homeless - I won't go into the details of the why's and how's - and was living on the kindness of friends. Sleeping 6 weeks here, 6 weeks there all around Edinburgh and Fife. I'd met this girl who offered me a bed at her flat in...

My Friends New House by Maris

My friend and I first became friends back in year 2. Ever since then we have been the best of friends. When he was moving house I came along for the fun of it and helped him and his family out. At one point I was carrying a box downstairs to living room, now what you have to know is that there we...

Haunted Workplace by BlessedWildAppleGirl

This story is perhaps not the most exciting but still puzzles me to this day. It happened around 14 years ago. I used to work for a very well known shop in the UK - which sells stationary, books, newspapers and magazines, etc. My job (basically) was to take all the newspapers and magazines that h...

Never At Rest by TomL79

This account will be told in two paragraphs: event at Grandparents house and events at home. Paragraph I- Event at Grandparents House This event took place about 4 or 5 months ago. I should probably mention that my Grandmother passed away in October 2014, just in case it has any significance. An...

Knowing My Demon by LaurenMackay

My story is actually published on Wattpad but I've been failing to get some attention so I'm posting it on here. Sometimes I find myself drowning in the memories of paranormal experiences that still linger in the back of my head from day to day. Some things just simply cannot be unseen. I think t...

Surprised Appearance by caledonia

In 2009 just about 12 days before Christmas whilst working in a local shop, I was on night duty with other staff. While attending to a delivery of stock, I had to make a few trips up to the warehouse to speak to one of my colleagues who was helping. As I left the warehouse and walked down the fe...

So That's What They Look Like by Tweed

Really? Seriously? Wait, is this happening, really? Wha...? These were the thoughts running through my mind two weeks ago. At 5 to 9 PM on Tuesday July 7th I felt like someone was looking at me. I turned around, expecting to see my husband, but instead saw weird smokey darkness. I was in our l...

In My Cousin's House by JohnsD

I had travelled 350 miles to Edinburgh with one purpose in mind, that was to collect my mum and dad's ashes and spread them both together in their final resting place in the Scottish Borders. This was a place where we had all visited together some thirty years beforehand and I knew that they would b...

Oddities In New House by Griff84

This is not something that has dramatically happened to me, it's not something that is scary or threatening and in truth, it may not even be anything at all, but I am interested in everyone's views and thoughts. Now, I would like to think myself as level headed and rational in all walks of life, not...

Worrying Activity by zozie84

Strange Noises And Movements From Outside My Room by PerfectInsanity

I've been sensing this presence in the hallway for a while. At first it was just a presence, I never heard or saw anything there but there was definitely something watching me. I could even sense where if was in the hallway as I went from my room to the bathroom. I don't think its anything bad, I do...

Apparition At The Foot Of The Bed by maybellinemitch

We have been living in rented accommodation in the old servants quarters of a big old manor house in West Sussex, England since January.

My Apparitions Encounters by zzzoooeeetw

In 2003 we moved house and this house (which I still live in) is relatively new. When we (my parents, 3 siblings and I) first moved into the house there was nothing scary about it, no strange feelings to begin with but about 2 years of living here I began seeing apparitions and feeling uncomfortab...

An Experience Getting Stronger by Niallsprincessx

Firstly I'm going to say my experiences are 100% true. I never actually saw a ghost, but some of my experiences seem unexplainable, and have scared me. I started to take an interest in the supernatural. I read things online, I watched movies, and I found it very interesting. I believe in the supe...

One Unexplained Voice And One Odd Car Incident by Rarrkel

I have never believed in ghosts of any kind. I was brought up as a devout Christian and still stand firm by my beliefs, although my understanding of those beliefs has developed as I have matured. However, despite not believing in ghosts, I cannot deny I have had strange experiences that to this day,...

Followed By Knocking by Tweed

Before joining this site I had started going through a 'bad haunting' I guess you'd call it. By the time I joined it had escalated. I delayed submitting this story because I didn't want to think about it. It's because of this 'haunting' I wound up finding this site, so every cloud. Started about ...

Mr O'brian by anisajazz

It all started when me and my mother moved into our new home in Bradford England in 2008, I was 17. The home was a normal 2 bedroom house which needed a lot of modernising, which we did before we moved in, in the mean time we got to know our neighbours and the area. When speaking to the neighbours,...

Lucy The Doll by VirtuousElemental

As a young child, I always enjoyed playing with my dollies as many young girls do. Now the age of 16, I wish I could have found out more about my experience and maybe some explanations as to why it happened to me. I don't remember much from when I was in my primary school years, but this was cert...

What Do They Want With Me? by Courtenay

My name is Courtenay and I will be 18 years old next month. I have been no stranger to ghosts. I have seen them and heard them from being very young. My first experience was at my Granddad's house. My Grandma had died not long before this event. We were on the upstairs landing running around and ...

Bumping Into An Old Friend by Tweed

This is about a ghost I think of as a guardian. Over the last 14 or so years I've learned ways to communicate with him and we have a good understanding of each other. Outside of intentional communications I've had many unexpected moments with him, many small, few major. These are the few major unexp...

Grandad Or Something Else? by PerfectInsanity

My grandad isn't really my grandad, he's my mum's boyfriend's dad, but to avoid confusion and because he's the closest I've ever had to a grandad I call him that. In the same way I'll call my mum's boyfriend my dad because he's been in my life since I was four and has been more of a father to me tha...

Weird Experiences All My Life by SonnyBurnz

Firstly, I would like to start off back about 16 years ago when I was 3 years old. My parents told me that I used to complain about an old woman who used to stand halfway up my stairs. They thought it was just my imagination and that I was just playing about. Few days later prior to the incident...

Was This Really My Doppleganger? by lolibud

This experience happened quite a while back now, I was about 12 years old and to this day (I am now 17) it still confuses me and leaves me demanding answers. I was upstairs one night at around 10pm, brushing my teeth, when my dad came upstairs and looked at me in shock. He says to me, "How'd you...

Mystery Man by bigryan020192

It's been a while since I posted. Mainly due to circumstantial reasons, but I hope now to be able to share many more of my experiences. Many of my experiences I would like to share have occurred at my grandparents' house which is located in a small town called Westend, and to get to their house, ...

A Collection Of Experiences by bon3yardsx

My Nan says that she has this thing, where she can hear the deceased. She said that my Auntie has it, my mom has it, and that I also have it. I don't believe I have 'it' as much as her because I don't really know what 'it' is. I can feel when someone in there, I can feel it it's bad or good. Som...

Me And The Hair Braiding Ghost by Itoldyaiwastrouble

This is my first story here. I've had a few more experiences in my life & would like to share my first one with you.

Paranormal Experience by alinvan

I've had three strange experiences in my aunt's house in Fife, Scotland. The first time which was about 12 years ago. I was in bed reading, and my mind was as far from ghosts as anything, didn't really believe in them, when suddenly a creepy feeling came over me, like there was someone in the roo...

Bedroom Horror by pamzino416

About four years ago I was fourteen years old and lived in North West London. My best friend at the time Clair (I have changed her name for privacy) had been experiencing a lot of paranormal events in her life. Such as the kettle turning on by it self in the kitchen, and the kitchen light bulb explo...

A Child Ghost Or Something Else? by BlessedWildAppleGirl

I have lived in my present home for almost two years. Over this time, every now and then, a handful of strange things have happened. It started one night when I put my son to bed. My son loved Thomas the Tank Engine and he had this particular Thomas toy that had a button on the top, when you pus...

College Unease by CherieMidnight

This story is fairly brief, as the incident was rather brief in itself. I am currently a 'mature' student at a college in Bedfordshire, studying Fine Art in a specialist art block. To make sure I get the best use of the studio, I often stay after normal hours to do extra work. Now the 'Art block' co...

The Ghost Girl In The Mirror by TailsTheKitsune

This is a true story that happened when I was around 11 years old. It is, so far, the only ghost experience I have ever had, but it was one of my scariest moments. I was in middle school when this experience occured. We have two bathrooms for girls and boys. The downstairs bathrooms and the upst...

Military Home by sophiemarie

This is a story I thought I would share with you all. Its not really something I tell too many people about - only if I ever get onto the subject of ghost/paranormal will I share my story. I am somewhat a sceptical even after my experiences when it comes to the paranormal world, although I do believ...

The Passing Of A Soul by TuBZ

Hey there YGS! First time ever typing up a paranormal event that happened to me 2 to 3 years ago.

Have li...

Protective Or Evil Entity by Pupanickle

Rays On The Ceiling by amie96

This is my first ghost/paranormal story and I'd appreciate any feedback or anyone that's had a similar experience commenting. Ever since I can remember, every night I fell asleep I saw 3 rays (the animals) circling around my light shade on the ceiling before I would go to sleep. They were green...

The Happening by jess001

Here is some of the paranormal things that have been happening to me this year. We (me, my mum, her boyfriend and my sister) moved into our house about 1 year and a half ago.

My Experiences In Childhood Locations by BethIsabella

I don't really know how to start this but here it goes. It first started in my childhood house. We moved when I was 10 just before my 11th birthday and I'm 16 now.

This time round, my story is a good one. I was 17 at the time (7 years ago now), my parents were away on a 2 week break and I was staying at home with one of my brothers.

I'm sorry in advance that this is so long. This is my second story carrying on from my first one with the same title.

Fields, Farms, Sheep And Ghosts by danisp_

So earlier in the summer this year, me and my best friend went to stay with her grandma and grandad in Wales where they live with her family. I'd been before and knew how old the house was. The house is an ancient farmhouse with many barns and it's located literally in the middle of nowhere. It ...
