Re-occurring Dream 3 by Surya

This is not written so well as I am very tired today. Last night I had the dream again and I am absolutely exhausted. Well, you have had two parts, only the second being more terrifying than the first for me. Last night (18th August 2008) I kissed my partner goodnight and Inca has snoozed off in...

My Evil Room by Mika888

This is my first time writing up this story and I am very pleased to be able to share this experience for the first time. The experience occurred in the house at which my family and I still reside. It is a medium sized semi-detached house in Jesmond, a suburb in the city of Newcastle, England. B...

Beth by chunkygut1

About fifteen months ago I had a child with my girlfriend, recently one of our best friends Beth tragically died in a car accident so we named our child after her. She was a really happy child and always laughing, but sadly she died at seven months old of septicemia (blood poisoning) needless to ...

Haunted Bedroom by mikeyc

I very rarely go home, because I'm in the British army. However recently, I've been very scared. For the last 2 years, I've been waking up to see two shadowy figures staring at me, a man and a little girl, in fear I put the blanket over my head and close my eyes. Reopen them, 5 seconds later and the...

Strange Shaddows In My Room by princess123

I am very sorry for this story because I'm not a very good story teller, Alright so this all started about a few weeks ago, from today 11th August 2008, so I was going to bed it was about 11:45pm, Because my parents were having a night out the house was all to my self or so I thought. So then I ...

The Floater In The Hallway by laurenemmam

This happened just last night when I got out of my bed to go to the loo. If I'm honest, I do get scared when I go to bed at night. It is something that has been happening ever since I have looked at/read about ghosts and posted my own stories. It's not that bad, don't worry, all I mean is that I ...

The Museum Of Witchcraft And Wizardology by laurenemmam

This is an experience of when I was in Stratford-Upon-Avon in May 2008 for my coursework. I was with my friends Rebecca and Chris and we were a group having to do a lot of work! We had already completed most of it from our first visit about a month ago, so this time we were allowed basically to d...

In Nan's Memory by laurenemmam

My nan died in July of 2007, and we were very close. She was the only one who would talk to me about ghosts and spirits as if they did exist. My nan believed in everything, and this is what made people think she was a bit barmy. However, I believed her, especially about the ghosts. I have never b...

Knock Knock by Surya

This happened to me Saturday just gone, 2nd August 2008. My partner has been away for a week and my youngest has gone to his grand parents for the summer holidays. All last week it was just me and Inca our kitten. I actually thought I would end up sleeping on the sofa all that week as I hate ...

A Presence by Surya

During my pregnancy, I suffered a lot of lower back ache. Really chronic pain on my right side. I had stopped washing my hair whilst having a shower as I was loosing a lot of hair. So I would shower first, and then wash my hair bent over the bath. The minute the water would touch my hair I would fee...

Ghosts Where My Nan Lived by misfitsdoll

I will always remember Chattersly Court where my nan lived, not only because of the memories but of the experiences when I stayed there overnight every weekend. It's very hard to explain exactly what the place was like. Inside the building, it was set out like a lovely little street of apartment...

Mothering Ghost? by misfitsdoll

I have tried countless times to find any information about the paranormal activity at Ingestre Hall in Staffordshire England, but sadly to no avail, I can only provide you with the experience I had as a child. I have visited Ingestre Hall twice as a child with my school as an activity week, my first...

Mirror Mirror by Al

My wife, three kids and I live in an old, 3 story Victorian town house on the Northern coast, built circa 1880. We've lived here for around 5 years now. We bought the house from some friends of ours who had lived there for almost 10 years - we were familiar with the house and locale due to visits...

True Stories That Still Baffle Me by stillsearching

I would like to share a few true stories that remain inexplicable to me. I would be interested in any comments or suggestions: 1. When my mother was dying in hospital from a stroke, my brothers, father and other relatives were sitting around the bed. After some time, I smelt cigarette smoke and ...

Occurances After My Trip Back From India by Surya

The years after the trip to India were best described, happy, smooth, with only a few occurrences. These were only at night. They were always the same. Only one was different and it was the last one I had which was my last until December 1990. I would wake up at night and feel someone sitting on ...

My Young Visitor by Oldtimer

This occurred in March 1992. I vividly remember the occasion as if it had happened yesterday. It was a Sunday afternoon in early March; typically for the time of year; cold, windy and rather gloomy. I had had lunch; there was a nice log fire in the sitting room, the TV was on, and I settled in m...

Spider Web Cottage 3 by Mataba

The Parting No more hurricanes, screaming radios, or mysterious telephone calls broke the peace at Spider Web Cottage. In fact, I began to feel quite isolated, and in a strange way, ostracized. It wasn't long before my elevated position down at the pub was lowered somewhat, and I felt like the...

The Significance of a Song by Gina

I really never believed this to be anything other than a coincidence until I read what has happened to other people. First I am a pretty level-headed mother of two girls, wife of almost 40 years and retired secondary school teacher. My mother died in the early 1980s aged 68. She suffered from MS...

Footsteps And Lightsabers by spikess

This story is pretty mundane compared to Mr. Yummy monster, but still a bit spooky nonetheless. It also involves the same friend! This story happened about four or five years ago. My friend's boyfriend's cousin was going on holiday for a week and had asked the pair of them to house sit for them....

No Open Curtains by wendymneil123

I had a friend come to visit about 4 weeks ago, and he stayed in a hotel in Kingsbury, North London. I live on the other side of London so I decided to stay with him, so I didn't have to take the long journey home on the tube late each night. The room being in the attic was small with a double be...

The Shadows Move by SiLeNt

This is my first posting. My name is Louis, I am 19 and I live in England, in the south east of London, I won't specify too much. I live in a new house, well we bought it when it was just land and watched it being built week by week, so I don't think there is nothing to associate with people dieing...

Demon at My Work Place by Harbringer_of_Doom

To understand this story you would have needed to read my last one as I explain in it that I can see spirits and now I have just found out I can see much darker things also. I guess I should also explain that only the women in my family on my mother's side have this gift and the men can only sense t...

A Ghost Hunt by Georgie252

This happened a couple of months ago. I study media at college and we got an assignment, which was to make a short 10 minute documentary about anything we wanted. Because my friends and I find the spirit world and all ghostly goings on really interesting, we decided that we would do our documentary ...

Leaving Old Castle by LeanneScott999

Over the past few weeks I have moved out of Old Castle into my own place with my partner and daughter. About a week before I moved out I was in the kitchen (an original part of the house) with my brother Christopher. We were watching something on the T.V. On top of the T.V was my mobile phone. Sudde...

Spider Web Cottage by Mataba

George finally found a place to live; a rented place of his own, and a place with the one luxury he'd not seen for the previous twelve months, his own bathroom! Spider Web cottage was tiny, so small in fact, there was a danger of falling down the circular staircase should the sleeping occupant ventu...

Leprechaun by Georgie252

Hi, my names Georgie and I'm from England, I'm now 19 and have since moved house. This happened to me when I was 14 and lived in another house. The house was quite big and victorian style and was always quite freaky feel about it. I always hated the night because I always felt as if something was in...

Old Castle Farm 2 by LeanneScott999

As stated on my previous story the house where I live is haunted and there are many stories from this house and my childhood house that I will post but they may not be in order... sorry. Last week I was in our computer room which is at the very back of the house and is part of the original struct...

Face in the Window by fizzypulp

This is my first post and a very brief story of an occurrence that happened to me. I was about 14 years old and was leaving my house at approx 8am to go to school. My brother was at college and my sister at university. Both parents had gone to work (they worked together so left at the same time). ...

He Saw his Father Leave his Body by Oglegen

I'm writing this on behalf of a close friend of mine and I think it's a really beautiful story. My friend Fran's father was diagnosed with cancer two years ago and got to a point in February 2007 where he was told by his Doctors that he had one month left to live. All his family gathered around him:...

Someone on the Other Side of the Door by Suprised

I am writing this on behalf of my 18 year old sister as she doesn't feel comfortable joining the site. It is only because I told her my story and where she could read it that she has come forward with her own experience. About 3 week ago she was home alone at 2pm in her bedroom watching televisio...

A Collection of Strange Encounters by jimmyboy92

Although this collection is small, the events happened and I thought it would be pointless to publish them separately, so I put them into one post. The first encounter that I had was at my grandparents house in Birchington, Kent, England. I was about 9/10 years old at the time. It was a party, I can...

Young Girl Appears When I Bathe my Son by Suprised

I myself do not believe in ghosts, I don't know why, I just think some things aren't possible. To my surprise one day, my Mum asked me if I would like her to take my daughter away on holiday with her for a week. I asked my husband and we decided yes, as we wouldn't be able to afford a holiday, I had...

Elderly Wartime Map-readers by Forest

In the small town where I go to uni, there are quite a few stories of hauntings hither and thither, but I've never stumbled across any myself. However, the other day when I was walking back through some narrow residential streets, lined with pretty little cottages, I noticed an elderly couple standi...

The Hidden Cellar by Setion

This story doesn't involve me - in fact, the occurrence happened thirty or so years ago when my Mom was young. It was she who told me the story, and here I am relating it here. My aunt Nonny and her new husband had decided that living with the parents simply wasn't appropriate anymore, considering s...

Splashes in the Empty Swimming Pool by phsychic_freak

First of all, I need to start with the fact that even though I sort of have a sixth sense, that doesn't mean I know everything about ghosts, spirits or even the future. All I do is sense what is going on in my close friends' and relatives' point of view. So, let's start. I was at a local swimming...

Ghost Making Me Dizzy by phsychic_freak

Today was a very strange day as my daughter actually finally WANTED to help me out with packing her school packed lunch. I said 'no kaylee,' because there's nothing she really needs to help with. So I started the car and left Kaylee in there so she can listen to the radio as she was waiting for me t...

Grandfather's Clock by Setion

When my Grandfather died in 1999, things went strange for a time. We knew it was to do with him because of the nature of the things that were going on. Here is the account of the most obviously bizarre. Years ago he had bought my Mom a clock for her birthday or for Christmas, I forget which. It w...

Strange Things Happening by cheryontop

I'm trying to find out if I'm going mad or these things really happen. So here are a few experiences that have happened recently and one that happened a while back. When I first meet my partner about 6 years ago I was at his place, he had gone to work and I was at home at around lunch time. I he...

The Living Room Ghost by Setion

I'd better say this from the off - members of our family quickly get used to the weird and wonderful. We have a tendency to collect ghosts and ghost stories like they were going out of fashion. The ghost I'm about to tell you of is only the most recent, and it's one of a few that have at some point ...

Chester Haunting by beltaine

I have always been quite taken with the idea of the paranormal and was luckily enough to live in a haunted house for 8 years. This was a town house in chester and shortly after moving in, we got used to hearing the slamming of the front door, followed by the sound of someone running up the stairs......

Mixed Feelings about an Apparition by Dan07

I wanted to see my grandmother, who died in 2006, third of jan to be exact, it was quite early (well for me), at about ten thirty to eleven at night, I was just laying on my bed facing the T.V. My mum had just emptied her wardrobe, all her clothes were hanging on my wardrobe. Here's a quick bit o...

Something Black and Oppressive by hazzardsyndrome

This is a story I have been told by my dad, I know he would never lie to me or even exaggerate. These stories have also been backed up by my mum. Before my sister and I were born my parents had a small house in Attleborough, Norfolk that was opposite the zoo in which they were both employed. My b...

Childhood Experience by jeremy watts

I'm not a person for flights of fancy, I'm educated and pretty rational, but this experience I had as a child I still often think of and wonder how anyone could rationally explain it... It would have happened around 1976, making me 6yrs old at the time, and really it was a pretty nasty and fright...

Haunted Houses and Vivid Dreams by Kat

Following up from my first story about the house I live in that was built in 1860 that has 3 ghosts, I want to talk about other strange things that happen in the house that I believe may have something to do with the house or more so, what's in it. 3 of us live in separate flats within the house and...

Northern Ireland Haunting by Weechipmonk

Hi I have just come across this site and I thought I would submit my experience. Any comments or thoughts about what happened to me are appreciated. First of all the stats, I'm female, 21 year old living just outside of Belfast. I have lived in this house for going on 16 years (it was newly built wh...

Pinned Down in Bed by woodlandsend

For the past three nights I have been experiencing this pinning down and it is really starting to scare me. The first time it happened was Friday morning at about 6.15am, just before I was about to get up. My dog had woken me, at about 5.30am, barking to be let out of the kitchen so that she cou...

Dreams of my Granny by Prettiest_Girl_in_the_Morgue

Not sure how to start this story as I'm sure it'll be quite long but here goes. It is mainly about my great-grandmother so I guess I'll give you some background information about her. Basically my Great-Granny Sadie died a while back when I was about 15 (so approx 6 years ago). She was a lovely woma...

Visit from Gran by kellie

I'd like to tell you about something that happened to me the night my grandmother passed away, I was very close to my gran and cared for her in her old age. I laid in bed the night she passed, upset understandably and all of a sudden I saw two balls of light, one was white and small, the other was l...

Girl at the Bottom of the Stairs by colinchohan

I don't exactly how to categorize my experience an apparition or physical manifestation, but I am new to all this, so here I go. Living in Bedford all my life, our family was getting bigger. When my middle sibling, Sabrina, was born my parents decided to get a bigger house. So they purchased a four ...

My First Ghost by Elephant

The first time I ever saw a ghost, I had no idea it had happened because they were so "real". When I was 18 years old, my husband (then my boyfriend) used to deliver milk for a living. Before he got his own round, he used to cover other staff while they were on holiday. On a Saturday, I sometimes us...
