The Ceiling Shadow by Spectre101

I was in bed reading the other night, and turned around to turn the lamp off. There was no light, yet a shadow was still clearly visible on the ceiling.

Haunted Park by kairu99877

Ghostly Camping Cleaners And Attic Nightmares by CharyWithThePoltergeists

My parents were camping just before I was born (let's call them Alice and John) in Dovedale and you may write this off as alcohol as my grandparents have but since I have paranormal experiences it is quite unlikely.

There Is Something Going On In This House by R4ch3l12

One Man And His Dog by sensingrange

I know this site doesn't like immature content so I'm going to put this across in as mature a way as possible though it happened when those involved and myself were 16 at secondary school.
