Daughter's Night Terror by Desertmoon

I haven't written in some time, I don't have a lot of experiences to write about, but when my eldest daughter was about 6 years old she woke up one night to something that really terrified her. She did not have a history of night terrors. Only one time before did she wake up to a bad dream. Also nig...

Unusual And Impossible Movements by MarvinScott

I have been really busy the past few months taking photos for requests from findagrave.com, and haven't had an opportunity to write more of my experiences from my role as a funeral director and embalmer, particularly in the latter role.

Messages From The Newly Dead by MrRiggs

It was 1991 as I recall. An unknown member of my extended family sought to gather the clan by organizing a family reunion. I was contacted by this person, a second cousin, and invited to attend.

Strange Entity That Has Bothered Me And My Cousin by briii123

Almost Drowned by AngelzRAmongUs

Note, this has happened years ago and I can only remember vivid parts of it. But, the more I tell it, the more clearer it gets. I was about maybe 6 or 7 visiting my aunt who lived in a two story house at the time. She had a pool and I always loved visiting partly because of the pool and mainly be...

What Would You Call My Ability? Requesting Help/information by MaggieMay_Not

If you have read my previous stories, you will know I am no stranger to the paranormal. I actually consider existence after death to be natural, almost like a cocoon shed by the energy of your soul. In general I don't fear death or dead people. The living are bad enough thank you. This is a hard won...

What's Haunts Our Bathtub? by Ghostofme

Fredericksburg, Va House Haunting by MrRiggs

Mr. Riggs Walks by MrRiggs

On March 2, 2004 I adopted a nearly 3 year old male Miniature Schnauzer (dog) named Mugsy. He was to be a replacement for my recently passed Schnauzer, also known as Mugsy. The matching names seemed to be coincidence. That they both walked with an occasional catch in their right hip seemed to be som...

Biter by EmmalineTexas

In 1999 my life was a mess. My ex-husband and I had recently separated, I had no savings and he wanted our house. It wasn't much but it was paid for. I was too exhausted to fight him.

You Okay? by Gh0stHunter

This experience was the reason why I got into ghost hunting. It was my very first time.

Years down the road I'm ghost hunting with friends at 18, when I fi...

Signs From My Spirit Guides by Zahramay

I do not know if these instances count as paranormal experiences. I do not believe in coincidences, I believe that everything happens for a reason. I was raised a Christian, and I still am a Christian. I also believe in some New Age beliefs as well. I was taught all of my life that there was no such...

The Fisher Farm by MississippiPearl

When I was about four-years old we moved into a big old house on a retired farm near Elk Mound, WI (USA). We called it the Fisher Farm, since that was the name of the landlord.

Calling For Noah by Cups

This is my first post here, so please be kind! I've had many what I would describe as paranormal experiences throughout my life.

Time Slip One December Morning by EmmalineTexas

In my 20's I worked for NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. You know the place with the gigantic blimp hangars? Yep, that's the one. It was a great job with a rotten commute.

Golden Gate Bridge Ghost by EmmalineTexas

This encounter happened about 1982. That's quite a while ago, but it's stuck in my memory as one of the first encounters I've had with a spirit.

Ghost Children From Texas City Explosion by EmmalineTexas

Let me preface my story by telling you that I live in a town right on the Galveston Bay in South Texas. It's a quiet town where you would never guess that anything dark had ever happened.
