Buddhist Prayers for Civil War Dead by RaisesOrchids
I am a Buddhist nun, called an ani. I live near the Manassas Battlefields in Virginia, and I've frequently gone there to pray for the lives that were lost so tragically. The battlefields cover many miles, and some of the bloodiest battles of the US Civil War were fought in that area. Many Buddhists ...
Floating Lamp by Kathy
There have been a few accounts in my parents' house but this one seems to stands out the most.

A Visit to Grandpa by FRAWIN
This happened a long time ago in Prudential Hollow, I was about four years old.

Banging on the Walls by luvparanormal
As you all know, I have been telling you about a few things that have happened to me in the past and some recently. I have to say that the majority of the time, I am not scared except for the time that I had someone watch me while I slept (which I'm sure you all have read). Usually I try to find a m...
Things that Go Bump in the Middle of the Afternoon by AllieRN
I was at home alone one afternoon with my infant son. My son was about 10 months old at the time. He had fallen asleep in his bouncer downstairs in the living room as he often does.

Ghost or Earthquake? by whitebuffalo
I joined the military when I was sixteen. My father didn't like it, so he marched me straight down to the recruiter's office and had them tear up the contract. Then I decided a few months before my eighteenth birthday that I was going for it again, but keeping it secret. I did not have a horrible ch...
Some Ghost Keep Taking my Jewelry by actionaction
I basically think I have either a ghost or a poltergeist residing in my home. Certain little things have tipped me off to thinking that, like my jewelry disappearing from time to time. The strange thing is, it's only certain things that are taken. Like necklaces for instance, and heart shaped ones a...
That Day I Started to Believe in Ghosts by Dragonmom
Back in high school I went over a friend's house after school. While we were in her room she decided to tell me that there was a ghost in her house. I at the time did not really believe in ghost and I honestly thought she was crazy. She began telling me what crazy things would happen at her house. S...
Barnstorm Kashmir by Sam
During this summer vacation -- back in Kashmir -- every morning we would get up to hear the latest lowdown about Abdullah, the ghost in our neighbor's newly built home.

The Haunted Book Shelf by morgan
We just moved to north carolina and the house me and my family moved into was built back in the early 1960's. It was back in the woods where a battlefield used to be and also a graveyard.

My Brother is Experiencing a Poltergeist by Derek15
As you may know, I recently wrote a story about my experience in my brother's old apartment last summer. This time, it's not me who's experiencing things. It's my brother, and it's in his new apartment, just blocks from the one where I experienced what may have been his landlady's dad's spirit. We t...
A Ghastly Stalker by TheOneWithThePower
I was at my step-sisters' house in Sherrell's (my oldest step-sister) room playing a game. My two real sisters, Rebekah and Samantha, were there too, and our parents were out grocery shopping. We were all kind of hungry so we decided to go into the kitchen and get some food. When Sherrell left the r...
The house we lived in was creepy as hell already. When my bedroom was upstairs, I found someone had carved into the inside of my closet door "so-and-so died here on such-and-such a date" I thought nothing of it and decided some other kid who lived here before wrote it there to scare people. My mo...
This Wasn't Funny Anymore by dee_taylor_85
My husband was stationed at Ft. Wainwright, AK with the Army. We lived on base in some of the oldest family housing there.

Don't Look at the Mirror at Night by Ambu

Scariest Night of my Life by Eric
It was October 12, 2007 around 9:30 pm and I was on the computer.

Military Spirit Never Dies! by kboyer1021

Footprints of a Strange Visitor by Bellissima
This is one of those stories passed down through the family, told by my father. He passed away so I can't ask him to clear any details, but I'll relate it as well as I can remember. My father's family, a couple of generations back, lived in Arkansas. They were very poor and I suppose they were what ...
The Piano Plays On by Kevan

The first time she experienced the ghost was when she snuck into his closet to...
My First Apartment Alone by Justin
As most stories start out "on a dark and stormy night", I will bypass the horror formalities and just tell you exactly what happened. I had been living in Memphis TN for over a year, and at this time was living with a good friend of mine named Kari in an apartment complex in East Memphis. We got alo...
Flickering Lights by Pangie
I've already told one ghost story but this is another slightly smaller one. When I was younger and still lived in the US in california, we lived in a town house.

Yogurt Trip Gone Bad by bogienova

Southern Scare by amyradvan
A few months ago, I was about to take a shower. I needed another bar of soap, so I went and grabbed a new bar out of the drawer. I pulled it out of the box and set it on a shelf in the shower.

The Strange Room by KimSouthO
I just returned from a business trip to Kansas City Missouri. The seminar I attended was at a very old but lovely hotel in the area.

Fingerprints on the Shower Mirror by hellosailor87

Ghost Breaking In by James
I don't really know how old I was when this happened, but I know I was young. There was a man that lived across our street. He was poor. Well, we would always make BBQ for him. He gave us a boat for thanks. But who would think this would happen. He was in his house one day, around December. It was v...
Andy by ladyannne

It can be just as spoo...

As a young adult I lived in house with seven adults and one little girl, Abigail. When I first moved in, the house seemed cheerful and warm.

Hovering Vacuum Cleaner by lian01
I don't really like stories that are posted on behalf of someone else, I think it often damages the credibility. I'm only submitting this story because I believe 100% that it is real. It is an encounter that happened to my best friend Max. He's the kind of best friend that you consider more to be fa...
Visit to my Stereo by Bellissima
This is just something I thought would be interesting to share. When my kids were just little ones, (oldest being 3 years old and baby was 6 months, now they're 15 and 12) we had a pretty decent stereo system. I'm sure you can guess hubby picked it out (boys and their toys!) and he was pretty proud ...

The Shaking Bed by purplequeen12
To be honest, I still play with barbie dolls even though I think I'm a bit old for them. But I really don't care. I don't play with them much anymore because I have had a couple of strange doll experiences. The one I will tell you is sort of mind-boggling. Not really, it's just really odd. I hav...
Ghost Repeating His Pattern by asje
We were always told by our elders not to stay out late at night, because we might stumble upon 'things' that claim the streets their territory between 12 am and 5 am. And when we entered the house during those hours, we were told to enter with our back, facing the door. This way nothing would be abl...

It started in Jan 2006. The first "sign" was a jar of peanut butter, found on the rim of the kitchen sink, on its side with a big glop of peanut butter on the counter, and a dripping pool of melted peanut butter on the floor.
