I moved in the brick home on Carol Street in 2012 not long after my divorce.

One particular art piece was a thre...

Timothy's Story by xxANARCHISTSxx

Ever since I was about four years old, I have believed that there is a little boy named Timothy that lives in my house. At first it was just an excuse I used whenever things went missing, but as I got older, I realized it was much more than that. I started to become more and more interested in the p...

Did Something Followed Me? by lwgrn4real66

If you read about my prior published true unexplained experience (sorry, kind of lengthy), but that experience was back to back for about an hour and half, which I had experienced.

Sounds During Solar Eclipse by StarBird

I am unsure if this ties into anything from my last bit I posted. But it's currently 3:13 as I write this, and it's during the Solar Eclipse, and I'm hearing stuff.

Before I lived where I do now, I use to live in a neighborhood in the suburbs of Alabama, specifically in Crestwood, on south hall RD.

My Amazing Mother-in-law by Linjahaha

The Hangry Ghost, Strange Sounds And The Shadow Hand by 8-bitDemigod

These first couple of events happened a few years ago at work. I should have included them in my previous story about the hospital, but they were so minor I forgot about them until a few days ago so I figured I'd include them here to help pad out the character limit for the actual story at the end. ...

What Did The Dog See? by Midd23

This is incident happened to me when I was about 17 years old, around 1980, give or take.

Our Haunted First Apartment by Linjahaha

Way back in 1972 I was a newlywed to my first husband; Bill, the bum (Feel the love here).

Too Cold For Comfort by flyboy72

Recently I placed a trail camera in my backyard to capture the deer feeding at night as well as to see what other animals may be around.

Philbert The Pizza Ghost by Hezza000

So, this started a few years ago at my old job at a pizza place. I don't have great memory so this won't be a fluent story, more like disorganized highlights. It started not long after we began working there. Stuff thrown, things missing, but I didn't think much about until I noticed the footprint...

Out Of The Gloom In Gladstone by BettinaMarie

In Multnohmah County, the city of Gladstone on the whole has a very weird vibe, like a bomb site or a slave plantation. When I lived there it was a pretty neighborhood on the riverbank, with big yards and nice trees. I believe this lingering gloom is because of some forty thousand Multnohmah people ...

Spooked In Portland by BettinaMarie

Many years ago I was part of the Portland restaurant scene, working and partying after hours in haunted buildings around the PDX- Metro area.

Staying At Grandpa's House by The_Lost_Voyage_11

When I was a boy, one of my favorite places to spend at least part of the weekend was with my grandpa! He was my mom's father and lived in a bigger town less than 10 miles away from us in upstate NY.

Esther's Boarding House by Linjahaha

Back in 1972 about 2 weeks after I turned 18, I eloped with Bill, my first husband, to Catlettsburg, KY. My parents didn't approve of him to begin with.

Quaint Wasn't So Quaint by Desdemona

Many years ago, my husband and I moved to southern Colorado for his job. We settled into this quaint little two-bedroom apartment in a 75-year-old house in an old mining town.

High Vibration Spiritual Energy Portal by The_Lost_Voyage_11

This is something I'm still trying to make sense of and like a huge jigsaw puzzle, I continue to get more and more pieces to help me form a bigger picture. To give some background it involves an abandoned building near the small town I live near. The building is part of a sprawling complex that c...
