A Memory I Won't Forget by Posh9

Hey everyone! I am excited to be here. I have been reading your ghost stories for a while and I love this site. This is my first time sharing my experience on this site.

Haunting Here In Maine by Lightkeeper

I live here on the coast of Maine and I own an old Dutch colonial house. I am a firm believer of the paranormal, weird things have happened to me since I was a young boy.

My Most Horrifying, Unforgettable Week by Polexia

I worked in Santa Monica at a salon on Wilshire Blvd. While I was there a manager from a different location was getting married. The stylists from the salon wanted to go to their boss' wedding. The salon was in Santa Barbara, about 1 hour and 45 minutes away. The owner of both salons decided to pu...

The Noon Time Knocking by bresys

This is fairly standard, might be a tad cliche and I am sure people will come up with a handful of ideas of what this might be - but I'm nearly positive the house I live in is haunted. The house was built in the 50s, the kitchen has not been renovated or anything since then. There's three bedrooms, ...

Windows And Doors Opening by ItalianGuy

In the year 2013 we lived in a small quiet town of Roselle a town 25 miles outside of Chicago. At first when we moved in, we loved it. It was almost like a new chapter in our lives. Not long after we moved in things started to change. I was sitting in my dining room eating dinner, it was about 8:30 ...

My Mom's First Paranormal Encounter by LaDaisy

At the time that this story first came in place, I was only a baby. So really, this story is from my mother's experience. Whenever I ask my mom if she's had any paranormal encounters, she always brings up this memory. Her first encounter was when my father was at work and it was just her and me ...

Mambo by jsapair

Back in the mid-70's a buddy of mine bought some remote, high elevation acreage in Butte County, CA. It had been a Christmas tree farm at one time. One year he gave me permission to cut a tree on his property. It was getting dark and I came across a huge Douglas fir or pine tree stump that had a cer...

I was thinking about work the next day, when all of a...

I had just bought a new copy of Pink Floyd "The Wall." My friend and I were listening to it for the first time in my room. The room was about 8x10, with the stereo in the back of the room. The speakers were mounted on shelves in the back corner of the room. In the beginning of the album you hear an ...

Shadow Figure Running Away When Light Turned On by DandK

A few nights ago, I had a scared feeling in my bedroom that made me feel like I needed to immediately turn on the bedside light. I frantically reached over and touched the lamp (touch light) and when the light came on, I saw a shadow figure streak across the bedroom from the bed, towards the treadmi...

Demonic Bird by michelle97

During my freshman year of college in an all girl dorm, roommate and I lived in an interior room meaning there were no windows- so we kept a faint night light so we didn't kill ourselves if we went to the bathroom at night. Our beds were lofted with the desks underneath- we were high enough up that ...

The Irish Brigade by AugustaM

I was put in mind of this experience and provoked to write it down to share by Spockie's experience "Band of Runners". I was 8 or 9 years old at the time and was visiting the Grand Canyon area with my father and brother. We were staying in an old 3 story walk-up motel (the kind that is only one ...

It Watches by trinity98

I have had multiple experiences with the paranormal before my mother died. However once she died and it seemed the activity picked up with the darker entity that I call the black figure. My first memory that I can remember of the figure is when I was about 4 or 5 (back when my mother was alive). I...

The Rising Star, Indians Drums, And Singing by RoamCuriously

I have 2 experiences I want to share that I personally feel tie into each other and that recently I can't get off my mind. The first is a UFO that I feel is linked to the Native drumming and singing. After I tell the story I want to go into some background of the life on the farm because after readi...

The New Condo - Pt. 2 by TheLightFatedGirl89

**This is part two of a recount of my family's experiences over a few years in a condo we lived in - for background see part 1.** As time went on, the feelings of being watched turned into being followed around the house very closely - like the person was right behind me, almost stepping on my he...

Remnants/humanoid Shadow Figures by SylvianStarz

Every few months these black shadowy figures appear either on the corner nearby or across the street from my house. I believe that something horrible has happened on that corner, leading to my calling them Remnant. They are completely black, tall, and have appeared to look male. No features like a f...

Spirit Voice On Beach by Berggraf38

This is my first time writing on this site. I've been reading for almost a year since I had a few paranormal experiences after my dad passed away almost a year ago. I'll save those for later though. I'm going to start with an earlier experience, one that happened 20 years ago when I was was 22. I've...

Back then we lived ...

Spirit Likes Me? - Please Help? by Yaboigoo

Lately I've dabbled with contacting a certain spirit (will not say who) via EMF and ever since that day I've had weird encounters. I feel like these tickle-like touches on my face, hands, as well as my legs and feet. I always feel like fingers are lightly touching my hair and dragging them down a...

Temporary Blindness by CuriousDee

I remembered this incident after talking with my brother about our grandparents' house recently. Technically, they are my step-grandparents, but I'm sure some of you will agree that "blood isn't always thicker than water". My grandmother is a wonderfully fierce, Italian firecracker crammed into ...

Red Hood by blopski

I swear that every word is true as best as I can remember. I am 24 years old and this happened when I was about 13-14 years old and my brother was 16-17, it was mid May and we had only been in our new house for about a year. So my brother and I were up late for some reason, it was about 2 A.M. And w...

Hallway Shadow Figures by TheLightFatedGirl89

It had a large living room with a long highway that connected the front living room and kitchen to two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the other e...

Driving Me Crazy by frank601

I moved in this house 11 years ago. The first experience I had was down in my tool room. I had just bought a $20 tin snip at Home Depot. I was about to hang it on one of the hooks, it slipped out of my hand and made the sound metal on concrete. I bent down to pick it up. It was gone. I tore ever...

Noises And Unexplained Happenings In Old Victorian: Year 1 by virulentpeach

For three years, I rented different rooms in an old Victorian home in suburban Massachusetts, built in 1890. Due to changing roommate circumstances, and the fact that the house was split up by floor for different family sizes and the two units were separated from one another, I was required to move ...

Bandana Of A Thing by saxichan_2002

While sitting in the kitchen, eating Steak and Shake, I look up to see 2 bandanas that are tied to the pantry cabinet doors blowing like wind is moving them up from an undercurrent. My husband is around the corner where he can't see this happening, blowing his nose. I figure it's the a.c. Or wind so...

Pdx Punk Scene by BettinaMarie

When I was young and scrappy, I lived in a lovely, large home in North Portland's historically "redlined" Dekum neighborhood. I have no clue when the home was built, or who lived there before I shared the house in the early 2000's. All six-eight housemates were artists or activists of some sort,...

The Wendigo by Artesthesia

There is no easy way to tell the tale of facing a wendigo. I won't give my name away so my name will be Alex due to the severity of this story. Before you read on know one detrimental detail, this story is 100 percent true without over-exaggeration. So please without further wait, let's begin my hor...

My Brother's Trick by moonshadowsmom

This story took place in February 2018 in a suburb of Oklahoma City. My brother, "John," had a stroke at the end of December, which left him unable to speak understandably. He had been a heavy smoker, which probably contributed to the stroke. I didn't visit him often before the stroke because I have...

A Comforting Nurse by Lilwolf

When I was about twenty years old my grandpa became very sick. He had a lung disease and it was taking its toll very quickly. He was at home when suddenly he passed out.

WWII Shipyard Worker? by BettinaMarie

For ten years I rented a tiny home in a neighborhood built to house workers of industrial shipyards. These houses pretty much all look alike. From my living room a double window looks out exactly over the cement porch steps. At some point I became aware, in certain afternoon light, of someone "comin...

Peripheral Vision by spiritwaiting

This won't really be a long experience, but just a few more things to add. Yesterday, 3 times I saw something moving in my peripheral from the right side. The first 2 were quite quick and looked smaller than the usual height they have been, from any thing I've seen before. The first one moved ...

House Recently Built Near Unmarked Graves by Metalluthier

To begin, I'm not a professional story teller or writer. This stuff did happen and I absolutely detest people who make up stories or deceive for attention. In 2002 my mom and stepdad bought a house in the neighborhood I grew up in (after living in an apartment and splitting custody with my dad fo...

He Kissed Me by Phoenix35

My name is Shauna and this is my first paranormal story submission (ever). I have many stories that are short, to the point, and just unexplainable. It's was a summer Sunday afternoon. I rarely get the chance to nap so when opportunity presented, I took advantage. A little back story; My husba...

A Passover Guest? by sherm784

Here's a good one. I was born and raised Jewish and celebrate Passover as per tradition. For those not familiar to the story. Jewish people do not eat bread or any bread products for 8 days each April due to the suffering of their ancestors. I had been so busy this week that I had forgotten to c...

Thieving Critters by MaggieMay_Not

Today is 3/30/2018. On 3/29/2018 I was spending the night at a hotel about 4 hours drive from my home. I'd driven out six hours, replaced 3 motherboards and 2 LCD's and driven back towards home about 2 hours when I found myself fighting the urge to close my eyes - while driving at 80 MPH that is not...

Native American Bracelet by spiritwaiting

I know just about nothing of the Native American Heritage. My mother since I was little and can remember, has always told me stories of my "Father". The stories never change even in her condition now. He is a Native American/French Medicine man. Who from my mother's description was and could st...

The Time There Was A Hooded Figure In My Room by FarrenNeil

When I was 7 years old I woke up one morning and I saw something strange; a dark hooded figure was pacing back and forth across my room. Terrified, I stuffed my head in the pillow and pulled the covers over my head. 2 minutes later I lifted up my head and the figure was gone. To this day, I have no...

Broadway Metroplex Friendlies by BettinaMarie

Back when I was young and punk, I worked at a movie theatre in downtown, the Broadway Metroplex. The original Broadway Cinemas had been torn down to build a skyscraper where the new theatre was located. The new box office was on a street level corner. Past the doors behind it was an elevator and a w...

Orbs In The Cemetery by MJK641

I always think back on this moment in my life and although I am older now I still strain to find the meaning of my experience. I was 12 years old and I often went to my friends house down the street. We took the back alley to each other's houses and between us was a cemetery that we were very used ...

The Day I Learnt My Lesson by YellowHawk

A little background before I start. I come from a Native American family and this story takes place when I was thirteen. I used to like riding my dirt bike out in the hills.

Is It Real: Shadow Encounters by DirtCreature

Shadow people are a peculiar type of entity. I believe they can either be human or nonhuman and perhaps they are not able to manifest entirely so we see them as a blur generally with no or few discernible features. When I first begun seeing shadow people, I was a child in the evening fully awake and...

Smorgasbord Of Paranormal Activity by saxichan_2002

We are experiencing a lot of different random paranormal things lately (for the past year) ever since my Mom's boyfriend died of cancer. For example: I woke up one night in our house to hear voices.

My "imaginary" Friend by AnnieLouise

When I was younger, around 3, my dad was walking our dog in a park. My dad's side of the family has always been sensitive to ghosts and such, so he could tell something was following him, but he didn't put much thought into it, thinking it was just curious about the dog or something. When he got hom...

The One Time I Got Scared by beckyr

I have always seemed to attract ghost/ paranormal activity/spirits whichever phrase or word you prefer to use to describe events.
