Haunted Family Home by ladycastlemaine

This is not really my story, but one of my family in general. It happened in a terraced house in Woodford which is in Essex/Greater London and was the home of several generations of my family from the early 1900s to 1970s. The house always seemed scary - it was cold, damp and depressing. From the...

A Creature In Our Midst by houseoffools

Visitation From Ghost Or Incubus by magicpixie

I wanted to post my experiences here to get people's thoughts on what is happening, and how best to approach it. I'm 20, living in a rented Victorian two bedroom terraced house; I use one of them as an actual bedroom, and the other as a kind of spare room for my stuff. Recently, the bedroom I usu...

Who Was Up Ahead? by ladycastlemaine

This happened ten years ago, when I was a teenager, but I can remember it very clearly. I was walking to meet my friend Peter at his house and for some reason I was feeling a little uneasy (at this age I rarely went out alone, because we used to live in quite a rough part of town). As I got to th...

Haunting On Walker's Farm? by houseoffools

When I was growing up I often heard people speak of Walker's Farm. Local teenagers used to bunk of school and hide out amidst the trees, spend summer evenings capturing newts in the stream, or simply explore the miles upon miles of wasteland. My older brothers used to come home speaking of Walker's ...

The Waving Girl by sportytiger-prettykity

I was at my friend Florence's house for a sleepover on the first week of the Christmas Holidays, when I was in year five and at about 1:30 in the morning we woken up by a thunder storm.

Electrical Buzzing, Blowing On My Face, My Stalker by Surya

Saturday 18th June. It was one of those weird days, rain and shine all day. Boy did it rain. The wind was strong we even had some thunder. I actually love the rain.

Am I Being Targetted By Demons? by Zik

I don't really know where to start, some would say the beginning, but I'm still unable to identify that place or time at this stage. The things I have been experiancing have been happening since I was young (8-9 years old.) with both minor and major intervals, coming and going, but lately getting wo...

Demon, Alien, Imp Or Something Else? by ravenofmidian

This occurred when I was 8 years old. I was in bed though not asleep, when I heard what sounded like 3 taps on my bedroom window. I sat up in bed to look at my window and what I saw scared the living daylights out of me! This 'thing' was sat on my windowsill on the outside, humanoid, about the s...

A Possible Medium? by Ghost_gal123

I first contemplated having 'The Sight' at the tender age of 15. I am now 21. I was sitting, home alone, at the kitchen table. The kitchen has a large pair of french windows which lead out to the garden. There is a large graveyard behind the garden. I have never been afraid of graveyards, or spirits...

Demonic Hand And Enraged Ghost by multinathan911

This story happened to me when I was about 10 or 12 when I was living in a 4 bed roomed house in Waterloo. The first time I entered my house I felt an eerie unwanting presence in the hallway sort of like a warning to go way. But the excitement of moving into this massive new house just made me think...

Who's That Sleeping In My Bed? by lankyloo98

We have lived in many houses where 'things go bump in the night' as we English like to say, but this made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. As a family we have moved many times in the past to get away from seeing people/figures, smells, the television turning over, etc and have decided at ...

Am I Experiencing Something Paranormal? by Underdog

Church Yards And Ouija Boards Don't Mix by taz890

Grief Or Grandad by Gizzy

In my last story I submitted I explained my user name. My grandad was part of that story but I believe that he deserves his own. My parents divorced when I was four and my mum being a single mother was out working a lot trying to feed and clothe us and pay the bills. My nan and grandad looked aft...

Little Forest Boy by ElfEars66

Back when I lived in Scotland, we lived near a forest and I'd go walking all the time. Once I saw what looked like a little boy. He looked to be about two or three with blonde hair, and jeans and a blue tee-shirt on. He was hiding behind a tree, and I knew that there was a rather big hole behin...

Little Cottage In Suffolk by Blacktears

This happened about a year ago. Again it was on holiday, what's with me and holidays? It was a beautiful day, right as rain and it was again time for me to go on holiday to Suffolk. But this time we took our adorable puppy Sprinkles. She was just as excited as me. Still I always found something diff...

Contact In The Dining Room-kitchen by nighthawkman

Guardian Shadows by silverflowers

I have always been a person who is unsure of ghosts but I still feel that there is something, that I find intriguing and I want to know more. I guess my story would start when I was between 3 and 4 years old as I remember having half days in primary and on those days I would go with my mum to my ...

Who Was The Person In Front Of Us? by Imarealghost

The question I ask in the title is rhetorical of course. My writing skills (or lack thereof) are such that this story will probably be longer than it needs to be so bare with me. This happened in around 2002 when my nephew (M) was about 14. He usually stayed with me on the occasional weekends when...

The Bells by Poppett91

Ever since I was little, I have come across many strange things; I've felt things, seen things, heard things and even smelt things that are sometimes very familiar to me. Ever since my grandma passed away, which was about 10 years ago in June, my experiences have weirdly increased. I will post many ...

Figure Through The Glass by BloodRed

I haven't had many paranormal experiences but I remember this one clearly. I live with my mum and two dogs. She was working that night so it was just me and the dogs. Our back door is attached to the kitchen. The door is plain glass so you can see straight out to the back garden. I went down to the...

Henry... Our Office Ghost by xXelliemayXx

Hello everyone! I need some advice about an ongoing experience we are having in my office. Most days we have a visitor (we've nicknamed him Henry) twice, once in the morning at about 11 and then again at 4 in the afternoon. I'll explain my office layout from the fire exit so this doesn't get con...

Pretty Sure The Bathroom Is Weird by laurenemmam

This was one of the weirdest things that has ever happened to me, and it happened in the most unlikely of places! So I hate school. I don't enjoy it; only sticking around for university. My friends are awesome because they put up with me and my many habits, one of which is that I don't like going to...

History Of The House by CrystalJewel

I remember being five years of age, moving into a large, beautiful ivy-covered house with my parents which dated back to the First World War.

Orb Man by DARKSKULL

It was on a Friday when I just escaped. My parents were in the Hospital because my Aunt was pregnant, so it was just me and my 7 year old brother. We watched some cartoons and he wanted to go bed so he went. In the living room we have a mirror which my Dad was going to sell and it was right next to ...

Honey I'm Home by serenitylopez

This story is pretty damn lame compared to some of the ones that I have read on this site but anyway, here goes! I've been with my boyfriend for almost two years now. He lives in a very old house in Streatham, South London and surprisingly I have never found it to be at all creepy. It's a house w...

A Connection... Good Or Bad? by doodlebug1996

Let me just start by saying that all my life, it had been the norm to believe in ghosts and have ghosts around me. My family is not particularly deeply interested in the supernatural - they have been to clairvoyants once or twice - but most have had ghostly experiences. My grandma, grand dad, auntie...

An Entity Or Am I Just Crazy? by Obvious_Game

We have been living in the same flat for almost 7 years now. When I was about 13, I'd been going to bed quite late so I didn't get enough sleep especially when it's weekdays. That was when I started to experience Sleep Paralysis. I usually get woken up unable to move and unable to make sounds. It ha...

Ghost Stomping Around The Room by Georgiee

About 3 years ago my family and I moved into rented accommodation, and we all started having problems with the ghost. My dad suffered the most and none of us could understand why. The ghost would hit him while he was sleeping and stomp around the bedroom. She would call my mums name while my mum...
