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 ...

Lady In Blue by imsusan67

I was at the church in the ghost town of Golden, Oregon yesterday (Jan.7, 2022). At 12:26pm I walked alone through the church door and nearly bumped into a woman to my right, whom was wearing a calico dress of light blue flowers. I jumped and made a sound, which my husband (who was right outside) he...

Refuse To Move On by Sublimefeline

Since I've moved to the Pacific Northwest my psychic ability has expanded HUGELY! It was acutely tested when we stayed at an Historical Hotel in Hood River. The Hotel was built in 1888 & is haunted by the woman who originally owned it, I'll call her Jane. The 1st time we stayed Jane walked dow...

Is My Mom Trying To Tell Us Something? by Cherubim

My mother died on Mothers' day 2012, she was home in NC when it happened. My cousin called me while they were getting ready for her funeral. She said she found a book behind her couch she's never seen before?! It's called "Heaven Is For Real." It's a true story of a little boy that died and came bac...

She Came To Let Me Know by Cherubim

I have a Facebook account I use for family out of state. One late night in June of 2014 I logged on to find a message from my cousin I grew up with back home in North Carolina. She told me my aunt died. She was the last of the sisters on our moms' side. I was so surprised and, of course, sad. I star...

Our New Scary House Part 2 by Cherubim

As time went on I realized we were living in a haunted house. It started becoming more than items being moved around from one room to another, or things disappearing and reappearing again. Now whatever was in the house became focused on my jewelry box. I would open it to get a necklace I have hangin...

The Man Who Caught Me by CrazedArtist

This happened October of 2012 in Salem, Oregon. I was twelve at the time and in middle school. It was Halloween, school just got out and I went to a friend's house to put on costumes and prepare for the night. I didn't need makeup for my costume. I just wore a witches hat and cape. So I decided to g...

He Hears And Sees Us by Cherubim

This past Sunday I was watching TV when the 700 Club came on. It's a Christian broadcasting network that I never watch really, but I was busy around the house and just left it on that channel. During the show they will ask people if they would like to join in Prayer for other people and yourse...

Bite Marks On My Daughter's Arm by Butterfly babe

I am a mother of a 13 year old daughter. Every night for about 8 days now she wakes up at 5:18 am crying. Last night she woke up shaking and crying. She said her arm hurt, she was nauseous and dizzy. Upon inspection of her arm there were 3 clearly defined bite marks. The teeth marks were on her ...

Ghosts And Dungeons by echospeckp

I have had many ghost experiences in my life and have always considered myself to be a very spiritual person. With that being said, I have always been extremely cautious when it comes to the supernatural. I won't even let a ouija board or tarot cards near me. I just don't like to mess with things be...

Electrical Phenomenon? by Cups

This isn't a ghost story, but I'm wondering how many contributors here regularly experience electrical problems & if it's connected to being "open" to things of this nature. As I've said in the past, I always try to debunk something before declaring it paranormal. But this is getting annoying. And e...

The New Condo - Pt. 2 by TheLightFatedGirl89

**This is part two of a recount of my family's experiences over a few years in a condo we lived in - for background see part 1.** As time went on, the feelings of being watched turned into being followed around the house very closely - like the person was right behind me, almost stepping on my he...

Hallway Shadow Figures by TheLightFatedGirl89

One of my earliest experiences started with an apartment my parents moved us into. Just a regular two bedroom apartment in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon. It had a large living room with a long highway that connected the front living room and kitchen to two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the other e...

House Recently Built Near Unmarked Graves by Metalluthier

To begin, I'm not a professional story teller or writer. This stuff did happen and I absolutely detest people who make up stories or deceive for attention. In 2002 my mom and stepdad bought a house in the neighborhood I grew up in (after living in an apartment and splitting custody with my dad fo...

Ghost With Glowing White Eyes by ButterflyBabe

Today, I had an abnormal new to me experience. I have occasionally seen an older woman always from the side profile never showing face or lower half of body. She would walk from the door to the fridge. It's been a few months since I've seen her. Today she appeared in human form except she looked at ...

Signs From A Friend by Cups

I have changed the names of people mentioned in this story except for Seth's. In 2006, some friends of ours got married outside of Portland. We attended Jake & Sarah's wedding and made a lot of new friends, mostly from Seattle, where the bride & groom were both from. One new Seattle friend stood ...

Calling For Noah by Cups

This is my first post here, so please be kind! I've had many what I would describe as paranormal experiences throughout my life. My earliest memories are of my 5 or 6 year-old self late at night, snuggled in bed. I'm not sure I'd classify this as a "ghost story" but I feel like I should start sharin...

Alarm Clock Unplugged by ButterflyBabe

I had set the alarm clock for 645 am. I woke up on Thursday, at 704 am and missed the alarm. I checked the alarm clock, and it was still set for the correct time. Then again on Friday, I made sure the alarm was set for 645. And again it did not go off. So, I figured its an old clock and I'll just ge...

The Battle Of "good And Evil"... by pamelapetersen

So much prior to this experience I'm about to share had happened starting 20 years ago. The battle over my mortal soul was at stake and still to this day it is. How do I know? Because not only did I loose my sanity that fateful but miraculous day, my experiences in the spirit world entered my life i...

Ghost Engraving Words Part 2 by EggMcMuffin

Guys, things just got real. If you haven't seen it already, part one was basically normal ghost things, such as things moving on their own and whatnot. But I have a very... Unusual update. I decided to hold a seance, to try to actually talk to the ghost. I was really scared to do it alone, so I conv...

Ghost Engraving Words by EggMcMuffin

The following story happened, no lie. It is a bit disturbing but 100% real. I never told anyone about this. 2016. This is the weirdest year ever for me, because I have had multiple paranormal experiences. The first one was when my dad was on a walk and I was home alone, when I walked into the kit...

Strange Presence by SilentAngel93

This takes place in the same house my dad passed away in and had been going on for as long as I can remember. I lived in that house for almost twenty years, and would always feel someone watching me wherever I went: in the living room, the kitchen, bathroom and all the bedrooms. And I know that p...

Sneak-touch-whisper by Entropy

My wife, step-son and I moved into our new home in Clackamas, Oregon back in 2010. Typical, family excitement -- lot of painting and removing carpet. Neighbors were kind and all seemed great. Honestly, it was hard to think anything could go wrong. Soo, here's where it starts getting weird. On...

Ghosts In My Grandpa's House by crashhat69

When I was about 17 or so I was living at my grandpa's house. My cousin and I were in my room hanging out and watching TV. I got hungry so I started walking to the kitchen. It was so dark you could barely see your hand in front of your face. I got to the edge of the kitchen, reached over to turn...

She Hugs Me by ashleylesley

My mom passed away June 1, 2011. She died in a house fire; the newspapers deemed me a survivor of the fire because I lived there, but was not at home at the time of the fire. Many traumatic things have happened since then. Babies have been born, cousins have died. I've been sick throughout my li...

Fairy In The Woods by Wildstar

My boyfriend and I were working for an environmental organization in Eugene, Oregon. One evening, we attended a work gathering in the woods outside of the city. The woods were owned by on old Dead-head with long flaming red hair who loved to spout nonsense and walked around with an intricately carve...

Stuck With Puppets by Kio-chii

This happened to me, my brother and a small group of our close friends years ago. One of our close family friends had a relative that lived out in what most would consider to be a small type of mansion in the woods just outside of, if I'm remembering correctly, Murphy, Oregon. The lady owned most...

The Woman Attached To Me by leticialopez

I have always been able to see, hear and feel things that other people normally do not. I have had many paranormal experiences but there is one that I would like to share for right now. When I was pregnant with my daughter who is now 23 years old, I began to feel a very evil presence around me a...

The Children In My Closet by HappyCat_Xoxo

Let's get right into the story, a year ago I moved into an apartment and nothing happened for the first few months. Paranormal activity started around November. In my apartment I have a balcony in my living room. When it gets sunny a huge sunbeam (as big as my entire wall) fills the living room. I w...

Ghost Children, Unknown Shadows, And Noises by HappyCat_Xoxo

My parents and I live with my Aunt and Grandpa until my parents find our (my dad, my mom, and me) own ho...

It's Not Just A Game, It's A Twisted Reality by kenneth-chipman

It all starts with me as a young boy. I would often times awake at night in need of a refreshment (I still do to this day). To inform you, this was every night. I would open my door and start walking down the hallway. This creature appearing to be a demonic version of "Crash Bandicoot" himself. ...

The Attic Ghost by karirosepink

My husband and I moved into a house in 2010 in Bend, OR that sat empty as a foreclosure for a few years before we moved in. The first photos I took in the house had a bright floating orb that moved strangely in the sequence of photos, which was my first inclination of a possible spirit. After th...

Disappearing Old Man by makyla6666

I had just gotten ready for bed when I heard dragging on my floor. I looked down from my bed and saw a shadow. I was really freaked out. I looked at the chair across my bed and an old man was staring at me. I cried myself asleep. Later that night around 3:00am, my brother ran in my room and woke...

Jack by Ashes_B_2341

First off, I want to say I am sorry for this being so long, but I can assure you there are many details to this, and if I did not include it all, nothing would make sense. I have experienced activity since I was young. My mother used to tell me I would sit up in my crib and talk to who she belie...

Late-night Pool Party In Mid-winter by Femaelstrom

My spouse & I had just moved into an apt complex in Ontario, Oregon, a month prior & were sitting in our living room, reading. We're middle-aged, and interested in paranormal, but never thought something this bizarre would occur in such an nondescript spot. The complex was set up with the 4 build...

Are They Mad? by jennfelber

I have lived in my house now for 8 years with my husband and 3 children, we know our house is haunted, we have always heard strange noises, voices, things missing etc. Our ghosts or spirits have never been violent or scary and we have learned to cohabitate, but for the last year we noticed that when...

Who Follows Me? by truly-amazing

Before I get started on my story, I want to tell you a little about myself. I am seventeen years old and live in Oregon with my mom, younger sister and my stepdad. When I was younger I always felt like someone was following me around. This was about eleven years ago. As I got older I started to ...

New Place, New Experiences by MirunaDryden

So, explaining the title. Ever since I was born, I was brought up in a you-get-to-choose-what-you-want-to-believe-in type of thing. A lot of people think that's why spirits are always around me. I kind of think it's partly because my mom did a Ouija board not too long before she got pregnant. I ...

Could It Be A Succubus? by Sagitkin

The past few months have been... Odd to say the least. It started in March I think, 2012. I just moved to live with my aunt and I started to have these slightly erotic dreams with girls that I don't know. The first dream, I was lying on the floor, nude, holding some girl I never met. She said someth...

The Voice In The Attic by 1spooky

This incident happened in Astoria, OR. I was about 9-10 years old. I was dropped off at my cousin's house. It is a very large house. Four stories including the basement, which is half in the ground coming out of a hill. This place always scared me. The feeling of being watched, seeing fleeting image...

I'm Haunted? by hallyberrybro

I've always loved the paranormal, even at a very young age. I remember my mother telling me that when I could barely talk I would have conversations with something she could not see. One of the earliest stories my mother told me was when I was about six and my younger sister about three. She put u...

Being Watched And Flying Things by GhostlyKitty

Alright, this is my second story. If you want a little more information, go read my first one. Recently, and more frequently, I have been experiencing small but curious things. For instance, I constantly feel like I am being followed or watched. I turn around a lot in my room which I am in now to...

Possible Ghost? by Queenzombie

When I was 16 my family and I lived in a house in Aloha, Oregon. It was a 2 story 3 bedroom house, not huge but not small. My mom and brother had their own rooms.

The Banging Spirit by Kieako

I grew-up in an environment of being introduced to many different religions. My mother is an Atheist, my grandmother, godmother and father, who played a large part in my childhood, were Catholic, and most of our family friends were Protestant. When I was younger I followed my mother's skeptic point ...

Grandma's Visit by tayperk23

When I was about 7 me, my mom, and my sister were living in Portland Oregon. We had moved there from Utah right after my mom's divorce with my real dad. We lived (Like I mentioned before in my other story) in a really old area in a tiny old house. I remember going through some weird stuff when I...

House Of True Horror by acuteangles

This event took place from 2007 to 2009, when I was living with my boyfriend at the time, let's call him Fred. We rented the most adorable (or so I thought) two story about an hours drive from Portland. It was everything I wanted in a place to put down roots: decent amount of land, nice area, nice l...

A House That Seemed To Good To Be True by masterthis106637

The story that I am going to tell you is real and very frightening. This all began in the year 1999 in Tigard, Oregon. One morning my father had come home from work with a huge bonus he made as a sales representative, and told my family and me that we were going to move to a nice two-story home due ...

The Beast At Lake Merril by AndreaRC

This story isn't actually my own personal experience but is a story that I'm posting on behalf of my dad (he's not internet savvy but wanted to share this when I told him about the site). It was a few years ago, he and my uncle were driving up to a place called Lake Merrill in the mountains across ...

The Real Phantom Of The Opera by AndreaRC

This story actually has no ties to any of my other ones as they usually do, but its still pretty interesting and chills me to this day. I was in fourth grade and we were living in Salem, the Capitol of Oregon, and its a town that's pretty rich in history, especially the historic old downtown section...

Becoming More Sensitive by sjinoregon

Back about 7 years ago I started noticing things happening. For example: My daughters would tell me that while I was at work they had been visited by something they could not see. The drawers in the kitchen would open. One evening while I was at home (Springfield Oregon) I layed down on my bed and f...
