Dad's Visitation by DreamBird

After a long battle with Parkinson's related dementia and cancer, my Dad lost the fight in early July of this year.

A Friendly Reminder by Dev19

I remember like it was yesterday, the day that changed everything. It was a sunny day, the kind that makes you feel like anything is possible.

Thinning The Veil by Kksharp71

My Dad was an independent owner operator for 41 years. He, I and his Mom, my Grandma Vada were very close. So close, in fact, we knew what the other was thinking without even asking.

Fathers Passing... And Return by ScareTale

Hey everyone, It's been quite sometime time since I've been on here. I kind of stepped away from the paranormal for a while when my dad's cancer came back. That's the reason I'm writing this, to share the experiences I've had during and after the dying process. For anyone that's been next to a...

A Nightmare And A Farewell by lady-glow

SV became part of my extended family after marrying my second cousin RM.

A Premonition And His Voice by DreamBird

Almost a year ago I woke from a strange dream. I dreamt that my partner's dresser was missing from our bedroom and I was staring at an empty space.

What A Surprise Conformation by Piperasc

Let me start by saying I am a true believer in signs from our loved ones that have passed over to the next realm.

Grandma's Visits by Linjahaha

This occurred back in 1975 when I was married to Bill, my first husband. The marriage stunk, and that was probably the reason all this happened. We had just moved into a nice 3-story apartment complex on Euclid Avenue in Euclid, Ohio. It was a spacious, and beautiful 1-bedroom apartment. It contain...

Dream Visitation And Possible Astral Projection? by Emilieoxox

I have two stories here, the first of which I am certain was a spiritual visitation from my Grandparents in a dream state, so it wasn't an actual dream but rather a way of lost loved ones coming through to us as we're sleeping and on a different vibration to what we are when awake. STORY 1: It...

One Year Later by Limey

This event happened close to twenty years ago. I can check the exact date, but I don't think that's important. I had what is called a visitation dream.

Carol And The Man With The Top Hat - My Daughter's Ghosts by Aros

It all began when my daughter was around 2 or 3. I had put her in her crib for a nap and told her I wasn't going to turn on the ceiling fan because it wasn't that warm in the room. The only way you can activate the fan is to pull the chain from the fan itself which is above most adult's heads, or th...

This is my first story here. I have been an ardent devotee of real life paranormal experiences and can't wait to share mine. The story that I am going to share happened with me in 2013.

I Miss My Father Dearly: by CrimsonTopaz

Unexplained Message Via Facebook by MrsRamsay

I hadn't planned to share this one, but Silverthane's great story about the candle blowing out at the church (Spirit Wind) motivated me. Of all of my "experiences" this one is the most weird and far out, I think, so I'll just give it my best shot. I lost a lot of people during the 2012-2013 "scho...

Bonanza by Dar77

This happened in 2014. I had finally decided to try out a DVR, since it was included with the satellite dish package I purchased. Mind you I never really learned how the thing worked, so I never got much use out of it. However one day, I noticed that it had recorded something on it's own. I found...

More Than A Coincidence by Cherubim
