Followed Home By A Poltergeist by BrittBass01

Hey,this is my first time posting. I've been having experiences since I can remember. So about a year ago I was visiting my sister. Before I left her house I was feeling rather deppressed, because I didn't want to go home. I came to the conclusion that it had followed me home from my sisters. I was ...

My Step Dad Passing And Picture by chelscp11

3 years ago I remember I was on my way to costco and I couldn't shake this feeling I was having. It was as if something horrible happened but nothing had happened. I kept telling myself that everything is fine. My anxiety was through the roof. The next day I received a phone call from my brother he ...

Ghost Engraving Words by EggMcMuffin

The following story happened, no lie. It is a bit disturbing but 100% real. I never told anyone about this. 2016. This is the weirdest year ever for me, because I have had multiple paranormal experiences. The first one was when my dad was on a walk and I was home alone, when I walked into the kit...

Visitations And Astral Projection by Kittahkatt

I began having these strange experiences at a young age but I've only began to understand them in the past few years. It started before I could remember, I would talk to what I called an "angel" and described as having one arm. My sister would ask me what she would say but I would just stare at her ...

The Man By The Door by babysmooch

This is my first ghostly encounter that I have only let a few people know about. Although, I have tons more to tell that I have experienced myself throughout the years. It was a Friday night, I think, and me, my sister, Amber, and my cousin, Mary didn't have school so, we decided to spend the wee...

Slamming Of The Doors by GinaFowler

I didn't experience this first hand, however, I saw the aftermath and me and my twin sister (Rhonda) still talk about it to this day; twenty one years later. Rhonda and I were 18 years old at the time and in our second semester of our Senior year. That particular morning, Rhonda woke up and just ...

My Cousin's Soul by willow12

It was 1995. My cousin Dan was 20 years old. Two weeks from his 21st birthday. Dan, his girlfriend and his brother Doug had just bought a mobile home and rented a lot to put it on. During hook up an accident took his life. I loved my cousin very much. He was a wonderful kind hearted person who w...

The Black Mist Joy Ride by Light31

After reading a recent story, I've decided to create an account and post a similar (yet not as bad) encounter with an entity. Shortly after my wife and I got married we lived in a two bedroom apartment on the lower of two levels in Roseville, MI. The door to the apartment next to ours was across...

Black Shadow With Red Eyes by mothman125

When I was younger I experienced a few odd occurrences that I knew my family's house was haunted. This experience shook me the worse and 18 years later, still gives me goosebumps thinking about it. I was 13 at the time, my whole family and I were witting in the living room watching TV. Got up to ...

A Clash Of Personalities by Bibliothecarius

In the very late 1990s, I was renting the basement of my parents' fifth American home (they do move a lot!) while I sorted out my post-Bachelor's Degree plans. I'd been accepted to Grad School to earn a Master's Degree in Literature, but I needed to find a place to live in Worcester, Massachusetts. ...

Playing In The Pantry by Gingerlo70

My story begins in the small town of Gnadenhutten Ohio. I usually fly to Ohio usually at least twice a year to see my friend. It was May 8th 2016. My friend had always told me the story of the little boy that's been seen haunting their house on several occasions and I knew it wasn't made up mostly b...

Spirit Coming Into You/being Born And The Black Figure by themurph

It's been awhile since I posted anything and this one event puzzles me. What's the first thing you remember being alive or earliest memory? I remember this well as my spirit was coming down high from the sky. Looking straight down I had no control to move just along for the ride type thing. Once my ...

The Selvidge Ghost by cheercat

It was my first day in middle school. I remember being super eager to talk to everyone and make as many new friends as possible. As a result I met a ton of new people including some of the older kids which was a "super" big deal back then. At one point someone had mentioned to me that there had been...

Creepy Shadow Figure by Desertmoon

As a kid I had often been afraid of things that go bump in the night. I remember this happening ever since my parents had divorced back in 1965 when I was 4 or 5 years old, and my mom was raising my younger brother and I as a single mom. Maybe the divorce made me insecure and frightened of things in...

Dark Figure At Office Door by Mour8

It was just another ordinary day at work. I had just got promoted to a better job and I had a lot of freedom. I mean, all I do is watch a computer screen. I had just finished what little work I have to do for the day; life was great. It was just starting to get late and I sat back in my chair to rel...

The Black Figure And Strange Occurrences by KatherineLinien

Let me make it very clear now that I thought most of the things happening to me were things that happened to many others. As I will explain in a little bit, these black figures and weird occurrences that have been happening in the house I have been living in have never happened in my friends' houses...

Visitors From The Other Side by melomelo

What would you do if you woke up in the middle of the night and saw a spirit? The first time I saw a spirit, I didn't know who they were or how they got in our house, so it was a little eerie. They visit so frequently now that it no longer surprises me. My mother had a great interest in the ...

Am I Being Followed Or Is It Attached? by _rowan_

To begin with, this post is very long, and it's happened in two different countries, but mainly in America. I was about 10 when I had my first encounter, and I was with my dad. My parents are divorced and my dad lived in another country so it was a surprise to see him at my house. We lived nex...

Humming In Baby Monitor by Janny3000x

I have lived in Ny for 14 years now and have moved to several different houses in the state. My family never experienced any paranormal occurrences in NY until the last apartment we moved into (where we have currently lived for 3 years now). The story I am about to tell is one of MANY paranormal thi...

Do We Have A Ghost? by Rmac123

A little behind the scenes... My roommate, who is my best friend for 15 years, and I are moving out of our old place and moving into a new location. Nothing like this has happened for 14. 5 months. We went to our new place earlier on Saturday to check it out, and then came back to our current place....

A Spirit by solitarysunrisewoman

In 2000, I was working in the basement at a place called William Temple House in Portland, Oregon. It was built in the Romanesque style in the 1940's and went through several owners and was once used as a speak easy and boarding house. This agency is in the NW sector of Portland and the building hel...

The Prankster And The Seeker by Allicatt

A few months ago my fiancee and I noticed some activity in our house. It started like most situations I've been in, a few by passing shadows and unrecognizable whispers. Until it decided to really try to get our attention. Well specifically mine, which I found interesting though not really shocking ...

Friend's Late Husband? by MissE

One of my friends lost her husband. He committed suicide, and she was a witness. So, she moved in with her brother (my boyfriend at the time). Before she moved in with my boyfriend, his house seemed completely normal and neutral. Well, as soon as she moved some of her belongings into the house, ...

Entity On The Stairs by NinjaPirateAssasin

About three or four years ago, I was home alone as my parents were picking up dinner and my siblings were at college. I was on the ground level of our house on my laptop. I have my laptop set up in our living room so my back is to the wall. From here, I have a clear view of our kitchen, as we have a...

Devil's Backbone Apparations by ShadowFire

I guess I should start my story by stating that I am a full practicing witch so that you can understand the many Ghost encounters I have had over my lifetime were pretty common. But on this one occasion while I was visiting my favorite camping area at Canyon Lake Park near the Devil's Backbone area,...

My Mother Has Seen My Doppleganger by DirtCreature

So something has been happening lately that at first, I didn't put much thought into. But now it's starting to get strange. First off, I am a complete pleb when it comes to paranormal knowledge. But my mom has been seeing my doppelganger. So I do not know what a doppelganger is and I do not know if ...

Haunted Cabin In Pigeon Forge, Tn by snowboarder300

This story takes place in February of 2001 just outside of Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg, TN. I actually got inspired to even tell this story again after reading Purpletrees own cabin experience, and while this didn't also happen in NC, it happened just across the border. To be quite honest, I had k...

Can Objects Actually Become Haunted? by kentucky_believer

Throughout my teenage years, I lived in a haunted house out in the country. So when I was 20 and we moved to a house in the city, I was thrilled. For six months, everything was normal, until my dad decided to surprise my mom by buying her an antique China cabinet. My maternal great-grandmother colle...

My Brother's Kitchen Ghost by girlie

It has been a VERY long time since I have been up here, but I think it is time to add some more recent ghost stories to the site. My family and I went to visit my brother at his home in Philly. We had been there before with no problem, but I don't know if I had just ignored it the first time or ...

Miscellany by SomeCallMeTim

My brushes with the supernatural have been few and far between. Rather than submit several very brief accounts, here are the best of the rest: Projection: When I was a small child, probably no older than five, I noticed that I was standing several feet away from myself, watching myself play with ...

Footsteps In The Day by mrmonty

I haven't written on this site for a while (I have checked on it from time to time), but something happened this past Saturday and I was wondering if anyone had experienced anything like this happening. I was walking home from the grocery store with my groceries hung over my shoulder, now it was...

Body Vibrating Upon Waking During A Nightmare by Justjess

A few months ago I had awoke from a nightmare and my body was vibrating as if I had a cell phone in my chest. I was about 4 months pregnant and can't quite recall what the dream was except that a ghost or a spirit was sticking its hand into my stomach to get my baby. As I slowly woke, I had firs...

The Ice Cream Truck Makes A Return Visit by yomomma

It's happening again. I knew when I started writing my stories down, going through them in my mind, talking about them, acknowledging things that happened in the past, that somehow it would make them strong again. I know that sounds crazy even somewhat dramatic but I also know that is what seems to ...

The Disappearing Doll by GinaFowler

Realizing as a teen that the house I grew up in was haunted, this is my earliest memory of an occurrence that, as a child, I didn't understand. I was born in 1977, four minutes later than my identical twin sister. Growing up, we did everything together. When we were around five years old, Santa ...

Giant Shadow Like Man? by brittnicole

Growing up, I had many paranormal experiences. I saw a shadow man in my house quite often and never got any weird vibes from him. I have not seen anything in at least six years. Well, last night, I was on the patio with my two small dogs. Our patio has a brick wall all the way around it. Down th...

Grandma Was With Me by lisabag

My amazing Grandmother got sick. Her kidneys stop working, so they started her on Dialysis. It wasn't going very well, so she wasn't able to leave the hospital. Family members were going to start taking shifts to spend a day with her at the hospital. I was so excited for my day. It was on a Monday a...

Cloaked, Hooded Figure, Lucid Dream by SPiNX

Cloaked hooded figure! Pointy nose or almost like a abstract pointed jaw... I had a lucid dream encounter. I became lucid in my dream (laying down sideways on a couch). I began floating slightly in a fetal position in mid-air, floating around a corner inside a house. Beyond the corner I reach a ...

Red Eyes In The Closet by Raygen

This is my first post ever. I have told very few people about this experience. When I was 14 I lived in the country about 20 miles outside of a small town. I loved it. One night I was in bed on the verge of sleep (You know, when you are about there but you know you are still somewhat awake). I d...

Family Visiting? by Avery

This is my first experience and it was when I was about 12 or 13 years old. I was in Colorado visiting my great-grandmother, grandfather, aunt, cousin, and other family. We all had fun then went to my grandmother's house. As soon as I walked in I knew something was up. I walked past the hallway ...

Atwood by shelbyloree

In 1976 my grandparents moved their family to the middle of nowhere, about an hour's drive to the nearest town in northeast Colorado. Mom was 16 and very unhappy about the move. She moved out as soon as high school was over, married dad and went on her merry way. She said the Atwood house gave her t...

The Paper Man by inxsgal

If I am posting this in the wrong place I am sorry, but I need direction on where to find help with this. About 10 years ago when I was around 42, my husband and I divorced and I was living in an apartment alone. It was my day off and that afternoon I decided to stretch out on the couch and rela...

Red Eye by specialized2001

It has been a while since I have posted on this site as ghostly encounters do not exactly happen often. However I have an encounter worth sharing. This encounter happened not to me, but to my twin brother during his junior year in college. I have received his permission to share this story and asked...

Ghost Hunting At Gettysburg by Parabol

Hey guys, I know I haven't posted in a while because I was beginning to run out of stories from my previous location. I have a new one now that happened just yesterday (at the time of writing this). We were on vacation in Gettysburg and my mom had booked us on a midnight ghost hunting tour, as in...

Who Are These People? by HSDB816

From the time I can remember I was always afraid of the dark. Never quite sure what was lurking in the darkness... Not bad entities just a presence of sorts. We lived in a bi-level house just outside Philadelphia from the time I was a baby until about 10 years old. I have had a couple experiences th...

Saving My Mother's Life? by HSDB816

Just some background information: I reside in Pennsylvania, I am 20 years old and I have always been "sensitive" to the paranormal. In fact, I have had many experiences happen to me other than the one I am about to tell you. On the day after Christmas in 2011 my dear MomMom passed away. She was my...

Ghosts Need Showers Too by RCRuskin

I have a few more stories I'm writing up for this site, some need a bit of editing to hide the identities of the innocents involved. Events include a possible demonic haunting a former coworker shared with me, and I no longer have the EVP she provided. There is also the haunted elevator in a church....

Dead Pet by Bunnybaby

This story is not particularly scary as the spirit is a loved one, but it is interesting I believe. About a year and a half ago, my beloved pet rabbit died. He was my baby, never in a cage, and usually either wanting to cuddle with me or play with me. He had a very sweet personality, sometimes im...

Night Before Lukie's Funeral by Cassee34

It was March 9th or 10th of 2008, it was either two nights before or the night before our baby's funeral. He was 3 1/2 months old when he passed away. It was my mom, my sister, my friend, and me alone in the house. My husband and cousin were out of the house, because his cousin took him out to t...

Dark Places by SomeCallMeTim

I honestly don't know what to make of my childhood experiences. I had a troubled, abusive upbringing and didn't really deal with it until I was in my thirties. I don't know if my experience of dark places was a side effect of that, or if I managed to short-circuit a genuine extrasensory gift along w...

Stomping Around In The Darkness by SomeCallMeTim

In 1990-1991, I was the superintendent of an apartment complex in Rockville, CT. The "complex" was actually three buildings of varying ages crammed onto what had originally been the stately yard of the 1877 mansion at its corner. This mansion was where I had my apartment, 3 large rooms that had orig...
