My Friend's House by Kest

A couple of years ago a coworker/friend was stressing out. Her husband and son wanted to go on a hunting/camping trip and she had no one to watch her cat. I told her I love kitties and I would be very happy to watch the kitty! The night before she left I went to her house to see where the cat food w...

2 Encounters In 1 Night by yaheeyahaa

For some backstory I was 9 when this happened, I remember this very vividly because it was my first time ever experiencing something like this and it also happened the day before my birthday so on May 24th. It was around 1am, everyone was sleeping and I just barely woke up (I fell asleep earlier in ...

My Sister's House Is Haunted by Art3mis

My sister's house has always been creepy to me, and this is not the first strange or paranormal thing that has happened to me in her house. Many family members have heard footsteps on the stairs, had items disappear and reappear, heard things, and seen things. Most people in my family are firm belie...

Dark Entities by DeathStarK

While my family and I try and find a research team or paranormal medium, this is what's been going on in our house. (Mind you when I was only 3 years old, I started saying what I thought were demons and what looked to be a werewolf creature. My mom had me blessed and they went away for a time.) T...

Feeling Of Dread In The Middle Of Nowhere by crazypaws

Not sure if this qualifies as a ghost story... In September 2013 me and a friend traveled to the US, to go on a road trip. I'd say about a good week into our trip, we had visited Zion National Park and were staying in a hotel close to the park, in Springdale. On our last day there, the weather wa...

Unnatural Cat Cries by ScaryMary2018

In Midvale UT., I rented a small, isolated old house. What was my garage is now a small apartment. I've heard noises so, I started doing some research on the property. It seems an elderly lady and her son lived here. The son would carry his bedridden mother to the garage while he worked on cars. If ...

Encounter With A Poltergeist, Perhaps? by Smoki_Tabu

I was about 14. I had gotten permission from my parents to spend a weekend at a friend's (let's call her Cindy) house a few hours away in Escalante, UT. I remember being driven through town, face pressed against the window, gawking at the beautiful old adobe houses. I've always loved places with...

Let Me Tell You About A Girl Named Abigail by Dangslow

Abigail was the first Spirit that I had ever seen. You can read a previous story of mine about that, she was the girl who ran through my living room. Before I met Abigail, I was a skeptic. My Wife and Son could both see Spirits easily, but I dismissed their stories of the girl... I thought their i...

A Young Girl Ran Through My Living Room by Dangslow

I live in an old Victorian house in a very small town. I have lots of stories I plan to tell, but one story stands out in particular. My seven year old Son and I were the only ones home one evening. My Wife had to work late and my five year old daughter was at a friends house. It was a chilly winte...

Hand Grabbing My Ankle In Shower by kk3boo

So my family moved here to Utah about four years ago and ever since there have always been these presences. Some of them were kind and helpful. A couple of them I was able to talk to as well and they never did anything other than protecting the younger children in my household. However the other n...

Mortuary Affairs by wth_devildog

This is my first account of possible paranormal activity I've experienced in my life. This story takes place in Brigham City, UT during the winter of 2003. My wife and I (and our two cats) had moved to a new rental house across town a few months prior. Almost directly across the street from our hous...

The Crash That Should Have Killed Me by FFBlackWidow

So to start out with I had lost my great grandmother when I was 5 and have been able to feel her with me ever since. My little sister (who can see and speak to spirits) says that my grammy is still with me and my grandfather to this day. In 2011 when I was almost a junior at Highland high I lost a r...

The Boy In The Window by mythem

I've been browsing through this site for a few months and I finally decided to make my own account. As this is my first story, I'll start with my first ghost sighting. It's a bit short, but it was an important moment for me. Starting from the time I was about 7 years old (my brother was 5), we wou...

Negative Energies In A New Home (neighbors Say It's Cursed) by batgrl1025

I'm new here, but have been reading for a long time. A "lurker" if you will. I have had paranormal experiences for as long as I can remember! My grandmother was straight from Russia, and also had "extra senses". I do believe I inherited whatever "gifts" I have from both her and my father (her son). ...

Family House by Kassidymay

The first house was my great grandparents in Orem. My mom was young when this happened. She would hear footsteps walking up and down the hallways and sometimes would hear voices. Everyone would hear them but never gave it any attention. So my mother asked her grandma what the sounds where. She told ...

Menacing Dark Figure Over Sleeping Mom by TheCavalry

I've had many experiences as well as my brother and one of my sisters. There were 8 kids in my family growing up and only 3 of us kids have seen or experienced anything paranormal. This happened to my mom and my brother about 3 or 4 years ago (2012-ish). My mom has often been antagonized by evil ...

Date Night Entity by Czech-Mate

My last story involving the paranormal happened in 2004 in the apartment complex that I still reside in to this day, but in a different apartment. Back in 2004 I had falling away from my Christian faith and had been practising a form of Gnostic Paganism. I had been quite active within my new foun...

The Ski Mask by dsilcox

When I was 9 years old, my grandmother passed away after fighting cancer. We were very close, and I took her passing very hard. A couple of moths after the funeral, I was home sick from school and went out with my mother running errands. Nothing new with that. It was around February so it was still ...

Something Pushed My Daughter Off Her Bunk Bed! by Ddleblanc24

I have always kind of been a bit of a believer in ghost activities and have witnessed a few crazy things in my life. Tonight was the craziest though. Since my kids and I have lived in this house 2 years now weird stuff has happened. Someone talking in the bathroom when no one was in there, my co...

Oldest Pioneer Farm In Utah? by mysticalavenger5

So, thank you YGS for publishing my other story, even though it was my wife who wrote it for me under twisterwatcher7. You see folks, I'm a rare survivor of childhood leukemia. So, please hang in there as I have violent shakes, but I realized I better write my own accounts. As a small child I wa...

Your Soul Is Mine by twisterwatcher7

This story is one of my husband's, we will call him Mystical Avenger, and currently I am typing this for him, this is all true... We hope you enjoy! This story is one of my many ghostly and paranormal experiences. The year was 1981. I and my family of seven lived in an old 19th century, white, d...

Haunted On 27th Street by twisterwatcher7

This is my first submission on YGS, but me and my husband love reading everyone's accounts on this site. We are avid paranormal enthusiasts and have a TON of experiences ourselves. I've had a few hauntings myself and my husband has had quite a few. This first one I am relaying happened to me when I ...

Thanks For Stopping By, Dad by GoGently

In the mid-1990s my husband and I had a "commuter marriage," living about 200 miles apart while he attended university and I started my career. I lived alone in a small cabin in a rural central Utah community. "Pony walls," about the height of a kitchen counter, divided the cabin interior into kitch...

Orbs And Smells by Allerz16

Recently I have been picking up many orbs in photos and I will get a whiff of specific smells. I had one specific encounter where I suddenly could smell blueberry and taste blueberry in my mouth. It freaked me out and I instantly got goose bumps and chills all over. I have no connection to this at a...

The Staring Man by WesternWanderer

I don't have many personal paranormal experiences. I'm not at all sensitive to them, definitely not compared to some of my friends. However, if you constantly put yourself in a hot spot with an open mind, you're bound to come across something. In this case, the hot spot was a retirement home, the...

Creeper At The Door by allisonbeckert23

Negative spirits or experiences are, thankfully, rare for me. And even when they do pop up, they're brief and I leave them behind quickly. Really, I just want to know if others have had an experience like this because it's pretty representative of the handful of times it's happened to me. I was i...

Rather Intense Childhood by draculasgal

This is something that I have been dealing with as long as I can remember, and it feels like for some reason these darker things are coming back into my life. I don't know whether they are following me or have always been attached to me. Either way, I know they are no figment of my imagination and I...

The Pillows And The Voice by dsilcox

when I was 11, my Father's uncle passed, and my grandfather did not want anything to do with my uncle's house. He ended up giving it to my parents as a gift. The house was very run down and a lot of work needed to be done, but once the work was done on the main house in historic Midvale, we got to m...

Dark Figure by Doijio

I don't really know how to start a story but whenever I walk or hangout with friends there is always a dark figure that follows me. It's size is about 6 ft 3 and it hangs when it is there. I am not very frightened by the figure but it seems very helpful to me. One night I was walking around my n...

Maybe Astral Projection by Believer88

When I was around 9 years old my parents moved us into a green house in Kearns, Utah. This house would be the center of my parents divorce and a lot of tension. This house always seemed strange to me, there always seemed to be something there, I would hear footsteps in the middle of the night, they ...

Vernal...skinwalker Ranch by Believer88

Vernal is about 3 hours away from Salt Lake City and quite honestly it is a total back water town that has no city codes what so ever, you can pretty much have a cow in your front yard and you won't get a fine. Vernal is a little behind, meaning they don't have any major entertainment places and the...

Gray Feet And The Watcher Or Are They The Same? by Believer88

My husband's grandpa built a house for his grandma over 60 years ago, when the house was first built it was a small 3 bedroom 2 bath house and the whole basement I believe was the original master bedroom. He was able to purchase the land for cheap because the land was all owned by the family. Ev...

Nightmarish Year by Believer88

I lived in Orem in 2007, in my first apartment with my husband. This was the first time I had ever lived on my own and I was excited! We were previously living with my husband's grandma, but we were kicked out because we purchased our dog Bella. I had a nightmare of this apartment before we even...

Train Conductor In The Closet by Taynevada

This isn't my own story, but my brother's. When I was about 7 I lived in Utah about 30 minutes away from Salt Lake City in a really old house in the mountains. We had to fix it up a lot because it was kind of worn down, but nothing seemed wrong with it other than that. My brother was really into tra...

Late Night Grab by cole1985

This experience happened to me when I was a young child around 7 years old. I lived in a newly built apartment complex with my parents and younger sister. We had just moved to Logan, Utah for my dad's work. I really have not had any experiences that I can remember before this. Me and my sister, ...

Demonic Entity Or What? by cindanela

As far back as I can remember there has been a presence with me. My boyfriend and I recently moved into our own place. That's where the story starts; it started with some creepy noises in the night, noises we wrote off as the house settling. Over the next few weeks things got worse. I started hearin...

My Wife Says She Is Haunted By Ghosts by soldierguy29

My wife has maintained throughout our relationship that she has been haunted by a ghost. I tend to be skeptical of this, but would like someone else's opinion of this. My first experience with it was several years ago. We had both fallen asleep, but several hours later I woke up to find the bedroo...

Demons In My Room by andre

So here's the deal, my father owns a house in North Salt Lake that I've been raised in and out of since the divorce of him and my mother when I was two years old. (I'm 21) The house has an old history and dates back to early 1870's, it was an old polygamists home and barn house that has been since r...

Shadows, Voices, And A White Figure by Explosion123

First off, for years I've heard someone call my name, and everytime it was a guys voice. The first time was one day, while everyone was getting ready to go to church one sunday, I was sitting there watching everyone literally walking back and forth, when I heard "Jack". Another time was while I wa...

The Old Mill In Utah by AmberMoonPriestess

Another story shared with permission. Both my Mother and Aunt worked at the haunted house that used to be held in The Old Mill, they also helped with a movie filmed there, Teen Alien. When they worked in the haunted house they were most often what is referred to as a "plant". The scared girl who get...

The Moving Shoes by Sweeternity

This experience didn't exactly happen to me, but I was involved in a way. My boyfriend of two years lives in a 159 year old house in Utah; built by his great-great (I don't know how many 'greats') grandfather in the 1800's. He lived there alone because his father re-married after his mother died...

Something Following My Or Just Weird Coincidence? by hiya_hayz

This may or may not have something to do with the figure seen in my bathroom . These things always seemed to happen a night. Usually when I am trying to sleep. None of what has scared me horribly, but has given me the creeps. The first thing that happened was when I woke up one morning and the first...

Figure In The Corner by hiya_hayz

Before I start my story I would like to say that I know that what I saw wasn't just a trick of the light, or me just seeing things because I was tired, or anything like. I know this because I wasn't the only one to see this, I was just more affected by it then she was. I was in the eighth or ninth...

Bright White Figure by hiya_hayz

We were around the age of fourteen or fifteen when it happened. Me and my BFF were having out traditional sleep over (every Friday night) only this time we were sleeping at my house. At some point after we were sure everybody was asleep we decided to sneak out and walk to the gas station for one...

The Thing Inside The Ring by christensens

My wife and I have never been inclined to jump to conclusions. We have always opposed the possibility of the paranormal. It seemed to be the type of thing that happened to others and not to us, and as a result held no validity. Before we begin our story it is important to note that my wife and I are...

He Will Suffer by Kiewstyn

A few friends and I started ghost hunting in 2001 - it wasn't until 2003 that we really started to get in to it and open ourselves up to the spirit world. This is a story from the last time we went ghost hunting as a group. I am copying it out of my journal, as written the next morning - adding to i...

Columns Of Light by nannypanny

In 1977 my first husband and I had just moved to the big city from small country town. Salt Lake was a big city to me. We moved in to a duplex apt. Shaped like a trailer home, along with rooms one after another with a hall down one side and at the end was the bathroom. When you sat on the toilet wit...

Ted Bundy by scared_shitless

This encounter occurred on June 6th 2007 I live in Sandy city Utah and travel throughout Utah and its neighboring states. In my travels I have encountered many ghosts, spirits and such.

Ghostly Love by AmberMoonPriestess

I met a living ghost that completely changed my life. I play an MMO (massively multiplayer online game) I met and began hanging out regularly with a guy on there, both on and offline. I have been given permission to use his game name, Cedric. Soon after this I started seeing this ghostly figure ...

Phantom Cat by amacniel

I'm posting this story in hopes of finding anyone else that has had similar experiences or may know what it was. I have had several paranormal experiences in my lifetime, but this is a new one for me. I grew up with cats and one of my favourite things about them is when they climb on to your be...
