Haunted Childhood Home by salad

I lived in Denver, Colorado, as a child and the things I witnessed scarred me for life. There was always a baby crying in the basement and the basement was filled with rocks of sand. To get to the basement you had to go through a closet and pull down the stairs. There was also a figure of a tall...

Don't Play In The Woods by 7Holy7Soldier7

My story takes place in a small town in central Arkansas. During the summer of 2012, I was hanging out with a couple of my friends in town. The day was very uneventful and boring, and my friends and I don't handle boring very well. We decided to hop in my truck and go for a drive and see if we could...

Shadow Man In The Doorway by Queequeg

I have always been a rational, scientific person and extremely skeptical of the so called paranormal, but I had an experience when I was 12 or 13 that I knew was odd at the time but just assumed it was the worst, most realistic dream I've ever had. I'm now 44 and am thinking differently about it aft...

Haunted Mobile Home by HauntedinArkansas

When me and my wife were first married, we bought a mobile home. I was still going to college and my wife was the only one bringing in a paycheck at the time so we didn't have many options in buying a home. A few years went by before we noticed anything strange happening. I am a very neat person,...

Our Tiny Haunted Apartment by spiritwaiting

In our little two bedroom apartment, in 2007 we had four kids and ourselves. It wasn't what you would call spacious or cozy in the least, but we made do with what little we had. When we first moved in, the feel to it was stuffy. Not because of the size, but it felt crowded. I felt as though there...

A Ghost Sleeps Inside Me by Rich73

One day, earlier this year, I awoke after just a little sleep. I was somewhat groggy but otherwise fully awake. I felt something on my bed, and it moved around a little. I was sleeping on the edge of the bed, and whatever it was, was in the middle somewhere. I looked and didn't see anything. I went ...

My Mother's Study by EchoStrung

So, it's been quite some time since I submitted my first story to this site, but I have always been lurking. I've decided it's time to document another one of my experiences.

I Know You're There by pixiejenn

There has been activity in my life for as long as I can remember but it's gotten horrible since I got pregnant with my daughter in 2010. I met her father through a friend and we dated for a little while, he was a Iraqi veteran with PTSD and decided friends would be best as he was still having some p...

Energy by Mstanion

I'm empathetic. I feel emotion, energy, everything. It tends to turn a person crazy if they can't control it. I've seen things, heard things, that most people don't. Where I live, I have a grocery store across the street. My husband walked over there yesterday afternoon for me; shortly after he ...

Footprint And Handprints? by m4dm1nnes0tan

My siblings and I were talking at the table one night; it was raining out, so all we could hear was just rain hitting the house. The electricity had cut off so we were just sitting there talking and laughing, trying to pass the time. To others, myself and my siblings are a little different (but w...

That Evil Smile by sabrina_25

This is a very short but terrifying story which happened to me last year. One night me, along with my family, were praying the Rosary as we would normally do every night.

Unexpected Run In 2 by mamachong

So today is a perfect day to submit another story. It is one of the two or three holidays that the building is closed and no one around to bug me. I waited until both of my patrols were done before submitting. I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping for a better ghost story from tonight on my end, b...

The Bungalow by miss_m

My family moved to a small mining town in northern Minnesota. We moved into a small, single level bungalow when my brother was barely a year old. I was four.

Not So Quiet Neighbors by SparklinBurgndy

Last fall I moved from Lafayette, IN to a small house out in the middle of nowhere. I'm in the middle of about 2,000 acres of fields. My closest neighbor is a quarter mile away. The closest neighbor to the south is half a mile away. Well, that's not entirely true. My "real" closest neighbors are...

The Past Few Years by Sparkie

Sorry in advance if there is any grammar errors. I typed this up early in the morning and I hadn't slept for at least 24 hours. So, I seriously have NO idea how to start this off. My last update was in 2010 and I think this is way overdue. I don't know where to begin so I'll begin with my last me...

Black Figures In The Back Yard by IttyBittyKitty

This didn't take place too long ago, so I remember all of it quite well to tell the truth.

I'm fifteen years old, and...

Nightmares And Sightings by FireBreathingDamsel

My story ranges in ages. I was rather young when it started. My family always chalked it up to me being a scaredy cat (I guess it depends on who you ask; a lot of family members understand), but I've always felt like I was watched. Maybe I am a scaredy cat and/or a little paranoid, but I know I've e...

Could My Child Be Seeing Something by Garrettsmom09

After reading through numerous stories posted by members, I am even more confused as to the experiences that my almost 4yr old has had.
