Something Evil At My Bedside by shiels10

So I had a frightening experience about 3 years back. I'm now a 20 year old man living in Ireland, Derry City, its actually in the North of Ireland. But here's how it goes. I decided that I would have an early night, and went to my bed at around 9.p.m because I'd had a busy day and I just wanted ...

Ongoing Fear by louisem3471

It started when I was 8. It was the middle of the summer, and I was lying in bed, it was about 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning and I couldn't sleep. It felt like I was awake for hours, when I started to get the feeling someone was watching me, so I looked over at my sister and she was asleep. And the...

The Lone Wolf And The Banshee's Curse by KasperMoon

One day I was walking home from school. I was a cranky fifteen year old because I had so much homework and my dad usually collected me from school, but wasn't going to today. I was also quite tired because I had had strange dreams the night before. (I know you're not supposed to talk about dreams, b...

I See Them by KasperMoon

Hey, everybody, this is my first story. These are just snips of ghosts I've seen, believe me, I've seen a lot! I was walking past this old abandoned hospital. It was a rainy day, and I was looking down in the puddles. I saw people dressed as doctors and nurses running up the steps that led to the...

The Night In My Room by dogzrlifeso31

I was a young girl. Around 10 to 12. I've never believed in the paranormal what's so ever... Until this one night. I fell asleep in my room and woke up around 3 to 4 am. I always woke up in the middle of night and don't know why. The lights were off so it was very dark but it was not my imagination ...

My Strange Life by serenity27

I have already posted a story on here detailing some events that took place last summer, I am still seeing shadows around my room and hall and feel as though there is someone watching me, and it has gotten to the point where I am beginning to feel that this "presence" has followed me throughout my l...

An Angry Incubus by sbrown19

I'm a 23 year old female and have just had a terrifying experience with an incubus. I've suffered from sleep paralysis in the past with occasional intense, sexual presence. One time I felt my trousers being pulled down and another time I felt someone lick my arm while I was unable to move. I ...

Strange Apparition In My Room by saronamith

It all began when I was a kid; I lived in a small house in an estate with my mother, father and my baby sister. I'm not sure what age I was but it would have been when I was in school in junior infants. My mother used to always say to my father that she thought I was possessed jokingly mainly becaus...

Crash, Bang, Wardrobe by rosepetalirl

My first 'encounter' with ghosts was when I was about 4yrs old. I've been told little children have great imaginations, but what makes this different you'll see as you read on! It was a typical suburban housing estate we lived in at the time, nothing special so we thought. It started with little...

Brotherly Premonitions by Vikstal

This story is about two premonitions. I think. I'm not sure whether there is such a thing as a premonition. I'm thinking maybe you kind of Imagine/feel/dream of something and create the energy that materializes. Either way, the experiences were quite disturbing. The whole thing took place about two ...

Things That Seem To Be Hurting My Child by pointyfire

My 5 year old son has been experiencing things that are happening in our house on and off for the past 3 years. He has woken up screaming that there are things on the walls, ceilings, and for a long time that a man was coming in through the walls and doors and was over him while in bed. This has hap...

Since They Passed Away 2 by Flamex

Not much has happened since the last time I posted a story on here other than hearing footsteps and knocking on doors in our apartment. This morning shortly after I woke up I was lying in bed facing the wall with my back to the room and felt someone poke my shoulder. I thought my mum was home fr...

Presence In My Bedroom by serenity27

For the past few years some unexplained incidents have occurred in my bedroom such as covers pulled off me and things just vanishing and re-appearing where I left them, recently however more things have started happening but most of the activity occurs around my bed. It started a few months back on...

Old Family Experiences by Flamex

These are some experiences my granny and her family had years ago when she was young. My granny told me these only a few months before she died. Haunted House on Moore Street Around the time of the 1916 Uprising my granny's mum (my great granny who lived here for a while) used to live in a hou...

Friends Fairwell by Irishlasie

I'm new to this website and first of all I'd like to say it's great. I have told you I have had a scary experience. This is some what different; this was the most beautiful thing that's ever happened to me. A few years ago, a childhood friend passed away. Lord have Mercy on his soul... I hadn't se...

Ghost Story Becomes Real by tonyD

This is still hard for me to believe but I'll try to explain this the best I can... I work as a security officer for a company here in Ireland, and often get sent to different places to work. On this occasion I was working at a wind farm in the middle of nowhere all by myself... It wasn't all tha...

Unusual Experience by irish-guy

I'm a 1st time user of this type of site and to be quiet honest, I thought I'd never be posting or visiting this type of site because before the last couple of months of my life, I didn't believe 100% ghosts/spirits didn't really exist. I'll take you back a couple of months before my experience... I...

The Watching Woman by sameeca

I have had quite a few weird experiences over the years; I don't know why as I don't think I am particularly psychic. What is strange is that it has only happened since I moved to Ireland... And it's in every place that I have lived in since. These are some events that happened in my first house in ...

A Fright I Won't Forget by DunBreen

My girlfriend and I were sleeping the other night. My girlfriend is prone to nightmares, however usually when I tell her its ok it was a dream she drifts back to sleep. However the other night was very different. I was awoken by a really loud scream coming from my girlfriend, as I could see her sitt...

Uncomfortable Presence In A Family Home by waterLily

My experiences in the house I spent much of my childhood tended to be mostly uncomfortable, and I've wondered did my family and I just develop a coping mechanism to deal with the constant presence (and a relatively unhappy presence) that was always hanging around. We moved into a new home when I w...

Sleeping Trouble And Sightings by senzubean

Basically my story is when I'm going asleep I think I'm being haunted... Yey! When I was younger (now I can't actually remember this) my mum told me that I had said I saw a little girl in a white dress... Yes sounds very Clio-she doesn't it. Well that's what I saw I thought that it was my childis...

A Strange Wire In The Graveyard by MrZach

This is my first post on this website. I'm a believer in the paranormal (obviously) although I haven't had any huge experiences myself. I've had a few minor ones and this one is one of them. My experience took place a day ago. I've been living in Galway, Ireland on a foreign studies type thing. ...

Is It My Great Granny? by Flamex

My friend posted the last story as Flamex. We live in separate countries so before anyone comments, I don't think anything could be following both of us or anything like that. All the events that took place happened in my granny's and granddad's house last year. Here is my story. My great gran...

Strange Things All My Life by wicca

She saw me and brought m...

Vanishing House Of Windy Willows by AussieRedDog

Back again! This is not my story but one of my brothers' experiences. It has to be one of the strangest stories that stuck in my mind for years. I'm not revealing my brother's real name so we'll just call him G and my other brother E (both older than me so I wasn't even thought of when this happened...

Unexplained Breathing Sounds by Domino

I wonder how the account of what I have experienced will compare to the other stories on this site. In comparison, it probably lacks both novelty and an element of drama. But I would still love to get some ideas from you, the readers. There seems to be few other opportunities around for presenting y...

The Attack On Vacation - The Scariest Experience Ever by shawnxmonkey

It was the vacation of a lifetime-just my best friend Nicole and I going away to Ireland. I was very excited as we were going to stay in a famous castle, which of course had some history of its own. I believe it was Cabra castle of something to that effect. I recall it as it was yesterday. We we...

Pink Writing Over The Toilet Door by vlyons

I moved house a month ago into rented accommodation. During the night last night my daughter who is 12 came into me in a panic saying that there was writing on the toilet wall, half asleep I just told her to get into my bed as I was in a deep sleep. This morning, when she woke up she told me to ...

My Grandparents Final Visit, After Their Own Funeral by niallacaldwell

This account was partially extruded from an entry written in my mother's diary in 1973 when my mother was 14 years of age. It was her sixth entry to do with the paranormal in her expansive collection of macabre recollections. Some of this is also taken from the less well preserved depths of my own m...

My Grandmother's Story by phantomz

I would like to begin by saying that I haven't had as many experiences as a lot of people have had on this site. However the experiences I did have I think are quite strange but in no way terrifying or evil. Also, the story I am about to tell isn't really my story it happened to my mother, grandm...

The Hooded Figure by Dena90

Firstly I want to introduce myself as I am new to the site. I'm Dena, I'm from Dublin Ireland and I work in administration. I have a few stories and I'd love to hear any feedback and I check my comments everyday. My story begins when I was 9. My mom and I were going to Wexford (Ireland) to visit ...

Ghosts In Garron Tower by Niall

This experience is very recent and most details of the spirit's appearances were unfamiliar to me, making description difficult. I have not been able to narrate any of my gripping tails of paranormal adventure in a long while because of the awful reality of end of year exams in my school. I menti...

A Message on the Car Radio by JerseyGirl

This story is in two parts; the first part took place in New York City shortly after my boyfriend died. Of course I was devastated when this happened. He was to be buried in his native Ireland, but on the day of his funeral in Ireland they had a memorial Mass for him at his parish in Queens. My boyf...

Spirit with a Motherly Attitude in County Sligo by Niall

This account is taken from my mother's diary where she recorded many paranormal experiences through her life. This is an accurate account. On the 11th May 1971 my mother was staying at her aunt's house in County Sligo with her toddler sister. This was my mother's birthday. Before I begin to narrate ...

A Whisper in my Ear by mauzie

I have to begin by saying that I am, I guess, confused, on the whole issue of the existence of ghosts or spirits. I am not necessarily a "believer" but I also am not narrow-minded, and who understands everything about life, while we are living or dead? It seems possible if not probable that when we ...

A Dying Language Saved Me by alanon80

I'm happy with the response to my other stories, yet it must be said that it hasn't been all bad with me, some encounters have just been, well, miraculous. But before I go on, I'd like to thank all those who have left me comments. I will get back to you all shortly, probably through the site or via ...

Second Encounter with the Same Entity by alanon80

As most of you have read already, I had my first encounter with a spirit (of malice as far as I'm concerned) when I was 8. Also I said that he appeared to me twice more. This story is the second time. A decade from my first experience I worked in a petrol station on the north circular road. My shift...

The Girl in the White Dress by charmingangie

When I was young, my aunt (who first introduced me to the world of the paranormal), always said to me that I had a gift. While my mother was pregnant with me, my father had built our house that we now live in. Previously, there had been an old house that had been knocked down to make way for a safer...

My Gift by 4u_allie

Firstly, I want to let everyone know that when these happen, I was not imagining. And I'm not bluffing. It started a couple of years ago after my Grandfather's house was burned down. Strange images kept coming into my head when I awoke, or walking around my house, or when I had nothing to do. I kept...

The Ireland Haunted House by 4u_allie

The school bus picked me every morning at the side road that led up to my aunt's house, and every afternoon it dropped me there again. And so twice a day, on the bus, I passed the entrance to the mysterious road. It wasn't much of a road any more. It was choked with weeds and blackberry bushes, and ...

Haunted Castle Leslie by BellaMorte

I am 26 years old now and this incident happened on the night of my 20th birthday, in Castle Leslie, Glaslough, County Monaghan, Ireland. At the time this happened, Castle Leslie was a small hotel featuring, I believe, eight bedrooms. Each room had a theme and was decorated accordingly. Our room for...

Message from Mum by tresco_el

There were ten of us in our family - five girls, three boys and my parents. Four girls came first, followed by one boy, then myself, with my two younger brothers following after. William, the second youngest, was born in 1980, three months premature. My mother had a fall, which brought on premature ...

Growling and the Rosary Prayer by sarah

The story I am about to unfold occurred in November 2005. It was just a normal Friday night. As I had planned to meet friends the following evening, I spent the night at home watching T.V. and in general just relaxing. About midnight, I decided to go to bed. On this particular evening just my father...

Too Much for Me to Take by gillo

Hi, my name is Brian and I'm from Swords, in Dublin. I've lived in my parents house for the past 19 years and a lot of strange stuff has happened during that time, from lights flashing on and off to radio stations tuning themselves in. I'm 21 now and it seams that most of the stuff that has happened...

A Message to my Mother by Buttons4me

One night, me and my mom were talking about ghosts, and whether or not she believes in them. She told me this story. Years and years ago, when I was very little, my mom and dad didn't get on very well, mostly because his mother didn't approve of her. One day, my mom couldn't find my father anywhere,...

The Little Girl in the Window by Buttons4me

I was about 13 or 14, and yes odd stuff always happens to me. No one in my family believe in ghosts at all. I went to stay in my cousin's house for two nights, her birthday party was the day after the first night there. Her house was very old, cold, and it was built in the late 19th century. However...
