Haunted Finds In The Woods by Hanbobs

When I was a child around the age of 12 me and a group of my friends would mess around in the woods near my mums house. We used to play in there often and build dens and tree houses.

Guardian Angel? Nuisance? Too Much Cheese Before Bed? by LondonCavalier

So there I am, lying on the sofa of my small annex flat. The calm is soothing after the chaotic month I've had, arranging the funeral of my stepfather. Being the most logical and "sensible" of the family, I automatically took control of the situation and moved in with my mother temporarily after his...

School Hauntings 2 by Ariel

If you haven't read my previous story then I advise you to read that before you continue. It'll make more sense, thank you. So, I promised more, and voila, I have!

Who Or What Did He See? by Hanbobs

Only a few days ago I was on my way home from work - as I get in my car I always ring my boyfriend to let him know I have left and will be home within the next 15 minutes.

Shadow Stalkers And Shadow Watcher by Lupernikes

I've been reading with interest the stories popping up on here about the so called "Shadow People". I have, over the last 15 years or so, had a number of encounters with these creatures and, what interests me more, is that I have met both malevolent and seemingly benevolent kinds. Let me talk...

Is This Sleep Paralysis Or Him? by Surya

It has been a while since I posted not only on YGS but also my site. Many things have occurred, many seen, many felt, many heard.

What Are They Trying To Tell Me? by lankyloo98

For as long as I can remember when ever someone I know has passed away they always come back to me in dreams to tell me they are alright or with messages to pass on.
