Flash Of Light And Shadow Man Next To Bed by DandK

A couple of years ago, I started noticing a very short, fast single flash of light once every few days or so in the dark bedroom at night when I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep. It was so fast I could never really see where it originated in the room, except a couple of times it seemed like i...

The Baby Cemetery by kjw2202

In this story I'm going tell you one of my many real life experiences. I was about 16 when this event occurred and I'll never be able to explain how this happened, or exactly what it was that I experienced. I remember falling asleep in my blue waterbed the night this occurred. That being said, let m...

Saved By A Premonition Just In Time by chel

This experience was one of my first and most memorable experiences with the unknown. For a little back story on me, I have a family history of "psychics." My maternal grandmother was a fortune teller and tarot card reader, and my paternal grandmother came from a family of Irish gypsies. Despite that...

A Tap On The Shoulder by Ghoster2K

Wednesday, November 7, 2003. At one time while in the Freedom Mausoleum, I noted that the sun was going down and the cemetery would close soon, so I made my way back up the stairs to the main floor and walked down the corridor to the exit. Just as I was about to cross the threshold, I became aware ...

Harbinger by Soccermom99

I've been reading the fascinating stories on this site for a while and finally decided it was time to share some of my stories. I have, for as long as I can remember, always had experiences with spirits. I grew up in a haunted house, and I will share those stories another day. In December of 200...

Paranormal Or Regualr Sleep Paralysis? by wowbummerdude

I have read a lot on Sleep Paralysis (for those who don't know what it is, when someone is about to fall asleep, or just waking up from sleep, they can't move or speak, but they can move their eyes and breathe), but I am still uncertain on whether or not paranormal things can happen while experienci...

The Seventh Housemate by Science-tastic

My story begins around late August, when five friends and I moved into a large old rental house across from our campus. It was perfect, like an undergraduate funhouse. Spacious, cheap, interesting, great for hosting the usual slew of college parties, six bedrooms so that we each got our own space. T...

The Night Of The Shadow Man by RandyKnapp

It was late one night when I retired to the couch for the night. I went to sleep and had the window blind open so I could use the fan on my window air unit. The street light lit the room with a soft orange light. I always keep my pistol close by when I am sleeping and this night was no exception. I ...

Union Cemetery Spirits Hangout By Tree by bigvig

This uncomfortable feeling took place in the fall 2004 when me and a friend took a ride up route 59 on Sunday afternoon to the intersection of 59 and 136 arriving at the historical Union Cemetery. Now usually I go to these historical burial grounds in Connecticut to look at the grave stones and abso...

What Is Lurking In The Dark by brighteyez

I have always been afraid of the dark since I was around 8 years old, (I am semi still afraid of the dark even now at 26 years old). When I would go get ready for bed, my mom was always in the kitchen which was right down the hall from my bedroom so I could see into part of the kitchen. My mom was u...

Dark Cloak by Mike-Phil-96

Grim Reaper In A Photo by loneybone

I want to share my story that happened around the month of April 2014. This took place at this building in downtown Houston called the Warehouse Live.

Help. Hand Grabbing Leg by mayo_manno

First things first. I am not a strong believer in ghosts. Some strange things have happened to me in the past 180 days. To get to the point. At night around 3:00 in the morning something grabs my left foot/ankle and pulls me at least 6in down my bed. After that I do what a normal person would do...

The Growl by JessieB

I swear everything I'm writing here is 100% true and in one case I have another witness who would back all of this up. This took place in a small town near Boston, Massachusetts. It takes place in my mother's house, which is about 30 years old. We were the first owners. The land was an apple orchard...

Visited By My "brain Dead" Brother by chel

Just over four years ago my only brother, who is two years older than me, was in a car accident. This happened in Virginia where he was living with my mother temporarily, while sorting his life out and finding a job. Prior to the accident he had a sort of change of character. I had moved to Californ...

The Master Bedroom by Dee-J

Date: Various. Circa 1998-1999 Before you read this, I just wanted to say that given the title of this entry, I hate for this to sound like some sort of cliche title of a horror movie. However, the title is indeed very fitting, and the story will speak for itself. My house has had a lot of pa...

The Shadow Man Is Back 2 by Emilio

So it's been about a year since I last posted. To give a quick background summary of what has happened in my past posts: When I was a child a shadow figure has been stalking me and causing me to be very angry and violent as well as from the more recent post has caused me to hate more and more eve...

Personal Ghosts Haunting My House by VampireGirl20

So, since I was five years old, I've been able to see the paranormal. Up until I was five, however, I was never able to do that. It all happened when I was walking home from the park with my older brother, Jacob Thomas. We were about a block from our house when a man staggers out from the alleyw...

Being Watched? by Kricket

So this is my first story and I am not sure if I have actual experiences or what you would call them. I have never seen a ghost, entity, or anything else, however I do believe in them. What happens with me is more of a feeling of being watched. It will come out of nowhere, no matter where I am a...

Grandma's House by rachse11

I've had many ghost experiences, but today I'll be telling you the experiences I have encountered only at my grandmas, from the first encounter, to the most recent experience I had. Her son (my uncle) died inside that house from throat cancer, he had a hole in his throat so he could eat, talk, and b...

College Entity by NinjaPirateAssasin

This year, I'm living in a dorm room at a big university (avoiding using the name) with a roommate. In the room, both sides of the room are identical, so we each have a walk in closet. About two feet from the door of the closet is our desks, which are pushed up against the end of our lofted beds....

My Rommate's Ghost by Miranu

This is my first time submitting a story of mine, so we will see how well I can tell mine. I never had much of any paranormal activity experiences until college when I met my roommate.

A Hand Haunting by NinjaPirateAssasin

There's one spirit in my house that always seems to enjoy making noise and scaring me. I can't help but feel that he is a bad spirit. I still remember the first (and only) time I physically saw him. Our family used to have two guinea pigs and a rabbit in our basement (all three have since passed ...

Loved Ones Saying Goodbye by Jlori

My mom and my grandma passed away two years apart, and after their deaths they still made their presence known. My mom and I got along well for the most part, but my grandma and I not so much as she had a mean spirit. I went out to run an errand for my mom one day because she was tired and not f...

Of Cemeteries, Portals And Possesion (part 1) by rookdygin

At the time of this experience I was a Solo Practicing Witch. I had no Coven, did my own research and had been doing so for nearly 8 years at the time. The pendulum I mention was a white quartz crystal on a leather tether. When I used it for divining I would hang it from a stand and rest my fingerti...

Dark Figures At Sad Location. Ironic Coincidence? by wvseller

I've struggled with whether or not I should share this story. The reason being the location, a scene where not so long ago a number of people lost their lives. Relatives of the deceased are alive and visit this location. Some people close to this location may even be members of this website. If one ...

Missing Cross: Washing Machine by macqdor2

The events of this particular day will always be remembered because it was the weekend Captain America the Winter Soldier came out. I believe it was the first weekend of April 2014. A month prior to this movie premier, my cousin from Dallas came to visit, an elementary school teacher in a Dallas...

Baron And The Red-faced Man by Seraphina

Here's a personal experience I had just before my freshman year in college. I'd almost forgotten about it, and because it was so long ago (I'm a retired great-grandma now) I may have forgotten some details. I took my parents' explanation for this incident as the truth, and never did research to ...

Crawling Around My Ceiling by Chookie

Voices In The Middle Of The Night by brighteyez

I submitted a story a month or so ago in the same exact house but I have another story to share with you and I hope someone can help me understand it.

The Smell Of Flowers by Ranchero76

Back in 2001-2002 I worked for a small shop off of Ferguson Lane in Austin. One night I was working late on my personal truck in the shop. Everyone was gone for the day.

She Calls To My Husband (a Continuation) by flowersgrowback

I posted part one of this under a different username. I haven't been able to get into that account due to my own extreme level of forgetfulness, but I hadn't used it much anyway, and you don't need to have read my previous story to understand the latest happenings. Previously, I mentioned a spiri...

Spirit Passing Through My Room by Dee-J

Date: circa Summer 2006 I cannot remember the exact date but all I know was that this encounter in particular was in 2006. One night I had turned the TV off and was trying to get some sleep. The moon was bright lit on this night and it was a clear sky, but I had the window blinds closed tight so ...

Upsetting Experience Before Yacht Party by RedWolf

As most of you know I live on Long Island. One of the contractors that my husband used invited us to attend a party on his yacht about 9 or 10 months after the 9/11/01. The problem for me was we had to walk right by where the Twin Towers once stood. I was disgusted by all the gawkers looking through...

Shadow Man In My Doorway by CrazedNdeSolate

In 1990 I moved into a house with my parents in Middleton WI, a smaller town right outside of Madison. The story I'm about to share is a phenomenon that started from the time I started living there until the time I moved out when I was 19 years old. I was 9 years old the first time I saw the man...

My First Paranormal Experience Summer 2015 by FiendWithoutAFace666

This is my first ghost experience that I had earlier in the summer of this year.

New Ghosts And Ghosts That Follow by Wada

I have been inspired to write about my experiences due to some recent things that have happened when my fiance and I recently purchased a home here in Cheektowaga, NY. It's really hard to choose where to begin so I think I will start with the happenings here at our new home that we have lived in...

Watching From The Stairs by ashlcoopa

I have shared a previous post about being watched from the stairs... This time, it was not me being watched. A few days ago I stayed with my parents in my usual spot upstairs, since I will not sleep in my own room and have not since about 2009. On this particular morning, I was awakened by my pa...

Restroom Ghost by Ceekat

This took place a few years back. There is a meat and 3 type restaurant in my home town that's known for the great food and wonderful staff. It is run out of a building that was an old elementary school many years ago by a small group of very religious women. They have gospel groups there to play on...

The Man In The Door by NinjaPirateAssasin

I think my earliest ghost experience occurred when I was about four or five. My dad was out on a business trip, so I spent the night on his side of the bed. I really liked to sleep in my parents' room, so I would take any opportunity I could to stay in there, usually sleeping on the floor in a sleep...

When It All Started by Klore

Now when I was little (2-4 years old) I had experiences along with my mother and although some of them I don't remember very well, most of them have been stuck in my mind forever. One day my mom was talking to my sister about what she was experiencing, hoping that my sister would say she was exp...

The Girl That Screamed by TheCowLord

I am currently 27 years old and own my own home. This incident happened roughly in 2004-2006. So with that out of the way, let's begin!

Family House by Kassidymay

The first house was my great grandparents in Orem. My mom was young when this happened. She would hear footsteps walking up and down the hallways and sometimes would hear voices. Everyone would hear them but never gave it any attention. So my mother asked her grandma what the sounds where. She told ...

Creepy Memories From My Childhood by Illuminati322

This is not a singular story but a collection of incidents that occurred in my parent's house, during my childhood. I present them like this because each is too short and fleeting to be worth posting individually. So, here we go... I grew up in an older home with a creepy backstory: it had belon...

Great Grandmother Ada by Blueraven

The following is not my ghost story, but my Great Grandmother Ada's. She passed when I was a teenager. I remember her as a bright and loving woman. In the late 1970s toward the end of her life, someone in my family thought to ask her to record her life history on audio tape and I'm so glad they did....

The Ribbon Man by annonymous1234

I know that many people won't believe me. That's alright, whether you believe me or not doesn't matter, the facts are still facts. I am going to tell you the story of the man who gives me ribbons. Over the course of a year, this man started leaving ribbons on my doorstep. Sometimes, they are neat...

The Cabin Visit by Wish-Not

I have always wondered what to make of that day at the cabin in the early 90's. After reading Jerry's account and reading the amount of information that YGS readers provided I thought I would "throw" mine in the mix to see what everyone thought. This would have to be my first "unexplained" event....
