Something Scratched My Friend, Cat And Mirror by Oceana

Quite recently I was at home with my new cat, Alissia and my best friend, Eddison. We were sitting watching a video on my phone when the cat started meowing really loudly from upstairs. Eddison offered to go and see what was up with Alissia. He said there was nothing up so I put it down to settling ...

Confuse A Gnome by Tweed

This is a follow up to our resident brownie (home dwelling gnome). In the second week of November I was exercising in the lounge room. It was the first time I'd done a workout in the lounge room, as I normally do it in the bedroom. I don't know why it never occurred to me before to do it in the l...

I would love to hear you thoughts and read your own similar experiences. These things are fascinating to me and I hope you enjo...

I Grew Up In A Haunted Cottage by GhostGirlClara

The estate was very large and housed many buildings, an orchard and stables. The main house was home to retired men and my Father was in charge of it's maintenance and al...

A Very Eventful Walk Home by Oceana

Today as I was walking home something very strange happened. I walk home on a path next to a main road. The road was empty which was strange as the road is always busy with cars and lorries. I told myself it was nothing and walked quicker because I was scared and cold. I got lost in my thoughts and ...

Soldiers Or Nurses? by LostGirl

This is my first post to this site, I hope you enjoy it! I've always been open minded regarding ghosts, having not had many experiences myself, but family members have had some truly terrifying things happen to them and I believe their accounts! I'd lived in the same house all of my life unti...

My Mr Brightside Is Back by Jennilou87

So, I've written about a couple of experiences of my friend visiting. Well... He's back and I'm so glad! I just want to start by saying that the past couple of months have been a particularly hard time for me... I've had a lot going on. The main thing being my fiancé cheating on me then running ...

Step By Step by findingthetruth23

I have just moved into a new house, AWAY from a troublesome spirit. Before I was dealing with a very nasty spirit, with regards to scratching his initials onto my glasses and moving an entire cupboards worth of stuff onto the landing. This spirit is completely different, I can just feel her. Now...

Horrid Haunted Home by ElliotM

In January 2017 my Mother discovered that she was pregnant. With me, my sister, my parents and a new sibling on the way we all felt that it was time to find a bigger home. It took a while to find a house which both fit our requirements and which we all liked. After a couple of weeks we finally found...

Strange Goings On In Psychiatric Hospital by villafan

My story is from 2008 and at the time I was working at a psychiatric ward. I had been there for over four years and at time I would sense something in particular parts of the hospital but never saw anything. However the feeling of being watched as you entered corridors and passed doorways was alway...

Looking For Attention by BritGirl89

When I was younger I lived on Portland in Dorset (England), Portland is a pretty supernatural place and many things have happened there. This story is about one of the spirits I met whilst living there. When I was about 14 we got a horse and kept him at a stables on the Island, these stables wer...

Phantom Phone Ringing by lilpeachyghost

I can't specifically say how long this has been going on but I do know that I'm the only person to hear it. Oftentimes I will be sat watching tv or working on my laptop and out of nowhere, I'll suddenly hear a very old-fashioned phone ringing. I know it's old-fashioned because it sounds exactly l...

Mischievous Little Girl by Mona777

This is my first story on this site, I've been reading a lot of them so I decided to share my experience. I've had a few but let's just focus on 1 for now. I live in the UK, London to be more specific. This particular incident happened a few years ago, when I was staying over at my cousins house for...

More About The House In Orkneys by nessiev

I had other strange things happen at the house. My husband and my son had both said they had seen a man in dark clothing walk past the back of the house, my husband said he had felt uneasy especially at night when out in the back garden with the dog, (he actually described feeling threatened). I had...

Shadow Figure In My Bedroom And Ghost In The Bunk Room by scream-out-loud

I have two different experience in two different places. My first story was when I was little girl. It happen when I was three, maybe four.

Haunted Hotel Hertfordshire by Gavinwickens

This is my first time telling this story, hope you enjoy it. I was sitting about thinking of what to do for the Mrs' birthday, thinking night away no kids sounds good so I got on line and booked a beautiful mansion house. So 28th Feb 2016 we was off to what we thought would be a romantic night a...

A Celebrity Visit Or Delusional Fangirls? by ladycastlemaine

This follows on from a comment I made on someone else's story regarding their possible connection to the late Chester Bennington. It's about a famous dead musician and I'm not comfortable with mentioning their name because A) I don't want to seem deluded and B) Some of my fandom will recognise my us...

Wee Ones At The Window by Tweed

Sometime in either late July or early August 2015, husband and I woke in the middle of the night. Which is something neither of us normally do. What woke us, I guess, was an awareness. From my perspective I was cosy in bed fast asleep. Both of us facing the window. Then, very groggy, I awoke, ope...

Asleep Or Awake by d3b8i3

This is my first account and only experience. I stumbled upon this website by chance. My experience the other night has ignited my curiousity into the possible afterlife for which I didn't pay much attention to before and was very much a sceptic (gotta see it to believe it). Here goes nothing... ...

Things Have Gone Downhill by Oceana

After my home alone submission, things have gone downhill. My house was rejected so I couldn't sell it, my dog has had to be moved and my I only have 3 fish in my tank after a fin rot epidemic. Sad times. Anyway, on with my experience. I was at school in detention. My teacher had gone to print so...

Ouija Board - First Contact by pokemon_trainer

BACKGROUND: My first time using a Ouija board was Friday 16th June 2017 in my bedroom with my sister. We made sure the room was dimly lit. We wanted to "test" the board by only asking a few questions before saying goodbye, just so we could ease ourselves into a proper session afterwards. Below is...

One Day Alone by Oceana

I was home alone one day in my English home. I was watching TV when I heard a Thump from upstairs. I just thought something had fallen off something and didn't do anything about it. Then my dog started barking randomly from the upstairs. He does this all the time anyway, purely for attention. I went...

South London Hospital For Women & Children by tinonline

I have posted this account a number of years ago but I can't find it and I'd like to share it with you. The occurrence was about 30 years ago when, as a student, I worked as a security guard in London. Although I've had quite a few strange experiences this was by far the most interesting. It w...

A Bullet And A Hand Print by pokemon_trainer

At the start of 2017, I was experiencing odd things I couldn't explain. I would see what I was sure was a silhouetted figure in the corner of my eye, and turn to look but it would be gone. This happened several times a day whenever I was alone, no matter where I was, and it continues to happen nowad...

Paranormal Or Hallucination? by bytheriver

For starters, I feel that it's important that I give a small synopsis on me and my past life before recounting this experience. I am 20 years young and a recovering addict - and have now been clean for over 15 months. I started using young and used a wide variety of substances but preferred indulgin...

I Think I Met Death by Sare

First of all hi everyone this is weird and I do not know if this has any hidden meanings. I live in a high rise block of flats and I use a lift to go up to my floor (I should really use the stairs) anyway, I was in the lift to go home just then I seen something in the corner of my eye, I turned a...

The Shadow Of The Street by whitewhite1992

This little story happened to me and one of my friends quite a while back now in our street in Liverpool. We were only kids in the early 2000's and were always up to the usual things when we were playing out in the street. It was around Autumn time and the clocks had just gone back so it was around ...

He Speaks by Tweed

This is about the ghostie I think of as a guardian. I've written about him a few times before. He seems to be the only ghost I can communicate with in a reliable way. Meaning I can usually find sense in any communication eventually. Whereas with other ghosties I'm often left with a bunch of possibil...

Voices In The Wardrobe by Theje5s

Until I was 8years old I lived with my parents and younger sister in an old, victorian house. As long as I can remember there were always paranormal events in this house such as footsteps on the landing, doors closing by themselves etc but as my parents were aware of the happenings and felt no threa...

Vision By The Fireplace by ForceAwakens81

33 years ago, my parents bought a new built house when I was 3. They had 2 more children, and still live there to this day. My parents and us 3 kids lived there happily, its been a great family home. I don't think its haunted (and am quite a skeptical person). But... This is an account my sister...

Jumping Heart Necklace by Amyjad

I have many ghost stories as myself and family have experienced quite a lot however this is the most recent. My fella brought me a beautiful heart necklace for Christmas 2016. It is something that I cherish deeply and I am extremely sentimental about it. In April 2017 we were sleeping and I aw...

Man Under The Staircase by holly137

So this started while I was with a group of friends having a sleepover. It was in October, 2016. We decided we wanted to go for a walk in the dark, bearing in mind my friend's house is on a cliff by the sea. We went out, then came back in. Everyone wanted to go out again, and I volunteered to exit f...

Disturbed Sleep by Shezz

When I was fourteen and living in my old house in the rolling green hills of Somerset UK, I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time. At the time I had never heard of it, and it scared me so bad that I couldn't sleep for weeks. But it was more than just waking up and being unable to move. I wo...

Vicky's Double by ladycastlemaine

This isn't so much a ghost story, more a doppelganger story but it sort of counts. I had a school friend Vicky who was always chronically late. When I got home from school that day, my mum said, 'Oh I saw your mate Vicky walking along after I dropped you off.' 'Yeah she is always late,' I replied...

A Nice Lad Called Ed by uju13

So I made this makeshift "oujia board" on a scrap piece of paper at my English class in school back in 2015/2016. I know that a lot of people people warn to "never play on this" and that it's dangerous but I did it (with my friends). This experience is not terrifying at all. DISCLAIMER: I did ever...

The Library Ghost by KT432177

I live in Cheshire, England, UK with my parents. I'm a teenage girl who loves many things, one of them being ghost stories and ghost hunting. It has been a long time since I posted a story, but I wanted to share an experience that happened to me and my mum the other day. We were in our neighbouri...

Ghost Responds To Tv Program by andyf75

We had lived in our house for the best part of 20 years, it was around 150 years old. As far back as I could remember there were always strange goings on in the house, footsteps in the hallways and loud unexplained bangs at night. When we first moved into the house we were all quite scared by this b...

A Slap, But No Assailant by bagheera

Evening all. Bit of an odd one, this. Before I start, I feel I should probably point out that whilst I am intrigued by the unexplained and always have been, I am to this day basically a skeptic when it comes to "ghosts" and the like. Essentially, I am very interested in experiences that some would ...

Ghost In The School by lilpeachyghost

The high school I attended was said to be haunted by a girl who had been pushed off of the bell tower and broke her neck causing her to pass away. Before it was turned into a modern day high school, I believe it was an all girls boarding school which would have been around the time that this unfortu...

Crashing Sounds In My House by BethAG

I'd like to begin by saying that as a sufferer of bpd, I sometimes have infrequent, mild episodes of psychosis- where I will see, or occasionally hear things that aren't there. Normally I would discredit any 'paranormal experiences' as a symptom of my bpd, however this experience is more difficult t...

Shadow Encounters by lilpeachyghost

This happened around 8 or so years ago as I was still in school or maybe I was in college, I'm not sure but anyway, it happened in the same house as I'm in today (the one I've lived in my whole life). I was sleeping one night, having a bad dream, when I all of a sudden woke up for absolutely no ...

Partial Apparition by lilpeachyghost

Quite a while ago, maybe a good few months ago, both me and my fiance saw the same thing on separate occasions. It was during the day so it wasn't dark and no one else was in the house besides us. I was in the bathroom which, from the doorway, looks down the landing and into my mum's bedroom. Fr...

Strange Noises And Movements? by Experience-PaS

Around a week ago, at roughly 1 o'clock at night, I was woken up by a strange tapping. It was a fast paced tap with a tinny/metallic ring to it. I sat up, attempting to locate the source of the noise. It continued as I held my breath to get a better sense of the origins. After no more than a minute ...

Moving Curtains by blueladybird73

My husband died a couple of years ago, he was particularly close to my now 13 year old daughter. After he died my daughter was in my bed and said she saw the curtains move. I tried to reassure her and told her it was probably because she was tired. About two years later she told me about her curtain...

The Ghosts Of Number 11 by lulu333

When I was about 10 me and my family moved into a new house, number 11. We lived in the town of Brentwood in the UK. It was the nicest town I've ever known. And number 11 will always be the place I remember as home. From the start it was obvious that the place was already occupied, heavily. Simply p...

Encounter by Openmind77

I had a few strange occurrences happen in a flat I stayed in for a few months, in Inverness, Scotland. It's important to note that if one of them happened I would have not thought anything of it. The first incident I was in bed and I heard someone come in the flat and then people talking and wh...

My Ghostly Guardian Pt 1 by Laura0943

I've always been what some people would classify as 'sensitive'. Comes from growing up in a haunted house, I guess, where things would go bump in the night with almost daily frequency. I've had many, many ghostly encounters over the years, but nothing like this, and I don't like to tell this particu...

Unexplained Experience In A Hampshire Country House by Pilotpaul

Around 13 years ago my wife and I experienced something that still baffles us to this day. Her brother and his family were residing in a wing of a large country manor house near Preston Candover and had asked us over for a party at their local pub after which we were to stay at their place. On arri...

The Bbc Studio's Are Haunted by BlackDiamondRattlesnake

This is my second story I've put in to be published after the story of my early life and how I started to see and later communicate with ghosts and spirits. This starts a few years ago now. I work at a stage and set designer for BBC London Studio's. I love my job and have met many interesting and...

Can't Remember My Past! by Undeadlollipop

I'm in my 20s I have no memories of my childhood (well from before the age of 12). Warning, sorry for spelling and grammar mistakes. I'm typing this on my phone trying not to shake too much. I used to live in a 17th century house that had servants rooms in the attic and a separate stairway fr...
