The Black-eyed Man, Part One by ghostchaser489

I've been wrestling with sharing this story for some time, because there are so many other stories interwoven. Recently I realized that most of my life's negative happenings are intertwined, and I believe this single being to be the cause of it. I will begin by saying that my father was deep into sa...

Train Conductor In The Closet by Taynevada

This isn't my own story, but my brother's. When I was about 7 I lived in Utah about 30 minutes away from Salt Lake City in a really old house in the mountains. We had to fix it up a lot because it was kind of worn down, but nothing seemed wrong with it other than that. My brother was really into tra...

A Ghost Story From 20th And Broadway? by alandhopewell

This one was strange, and I was never sure exactly how to categorize it; I blogged about it, under a kind of "WT*?" heading. At 20th and Broadway in Lorain, on the northwest corner, sits a storefront property. Today, it's vacant, and the basement entrance is concreted over. In the 60s, there was ...

Boy At The Cemetery by ghosthunter102

A few years ago, I was going to the cemetery with my mom to visit my grandpa. My grandpa is buried in Pinelawn, on the side where the deceased are buried in slots in walls. Across the street and a little bit down the block from my grandpa, are my grandma's parents, who we also visit when we go visit...

Family Spirits 2 by RedWolf

My mother died Mothers' Day 2008, just a few minutes before midnight. She had been in the hospital for weeks because of lung cancer and emphysema. My mom did not want to die anywhere around May 5th because that is my oldest sons' birthday and my father died 3 years before on May 3rd. I know this bec...

The Shadow Man In The Old Farm House by spookykitty13

This event took place in southern Missouri, just north of Springfield, during the spring of 2011. During this time, my husband was living in Wisconsin, about an hour outside of Milwaukee.

Mommy. Mommy. I Gotta Go Potty, Mommy by SilverBear

Since I've gotten pregnant, I've noticed I've been more sensitive than usual. Where something wouldn't stand out to me normally, I find it standing out and beyond the crowd. My homes have always active. Every single one I've moved into, new or not, has had someone/something move in with me. It's alw...

My Parents' Home by laceye

I have always been fascinated with the paranormal and have had a few occurrences that have left me puzzled. First off my story is about my parents' home and the strange unexplained feelings and weird unseen being that scared my infant son. My parents moved into their brand new home in Pearland, ...

A String Of Spooky Events by JoyBells

For Privacy purposes certain names in my story have been changed - the events; however, are true.

An i...

Antics In My Car by psychicmama

I grew up in the bluffs of Marquette, Iowa, a very historical place as far as Native Americans and their burial grounds, Lewis & Clark, Ringling Bros. Circus, fur traders and more. I loved it there.

The Corner by alyssamarie

Even though my house is only 15 years old, built on farmland, and we are the only family to have ever lived here, I still know that there's something not quite right. I've had tons of experiences here, from doors opening and rattling to footsteps of someone walking around my room at night. One time ...

Paranormal Experiences As A Child by KatieBear

I have a few stories of small encounters that I thought I would share. All of these happened when I was a child, and some I remember as young as 4 or 5. When I was little, I would often see, hear, and even do things I cannot explain. There were times I would hear my name being called, sometimes ...

Little Girl In My Basement Part 2 by ghosthunter102

Since my last post a few more incidents have occurred and I am well on my way to purchasing some ghost hunting equipment. My grandmother has lived with us my whole life and has her own little apartment upstairs. After my grandfather passed away almost 10 years ago, I've been sleeping in her gues...

Growling In My House by lorraineone

I was a true skeptic. I've since changed my views. I'm not here to frown upon others experiences, but many stories I've read can be chalked up to vivid imaginations from explainable occurrences. I've had many questions concerning what was happening in my home and always made excuses as to what they ...

Spirit's Playmate by Gr1msy13

When I was a junior in high school I met a girl and we will call her "Jane" to protect her privacy. At the time we were talking via IM and the like. Long story short, we ended up dating. She was a believer as well. Myself, I believed but needed proof on everything. I got my proof in the end. Jane...

My Grandson, Timothy by Wondering1

Several months ago, I submitted a story about events that occurred while my husband and I were remodeling our house. (Did we wake up Ghosts?) This story is related to that but concerns my grandson, Timothy. At the time he was about two or three years old. (He's 7 now, and doesn't remember anything a...

The Presence That Haunts Me by Beccas_Shadow

Ever since I was a little girl I've always seen things others couldn't. I specifically remember 3 incidents that have forever haunted the back of my mind. The one that really sticks with me, is when I was laying in my bed and I looked over to my doorway, only to see this huge, black, tall figure sta...

Glowing Pawprints by HoneyEyedGirl

These experiences took place after my dog (Weimaraner), Max, died from an unknown cause. I was pretty young so I didn't really understand why he had to go, but I was still rather distraught. The first thing that happened after Max died, probably around after my parents had to put him down, was w...

The White Lady That Haunted My Childhood by HoneyEyedGirl

Before I start I figured I should give you a little background, the house that I've had these experiences in was newly built for our family when I was born in 1994, so no one has died in the house. Although I was told our house was built on old farm land along with 3 other houses. The farm house sti...

14 Years Of Experience. But For What? by EternalEmotions107

Even skeptical parents can raise children who are believers. I haven't doubted any experience I've ever had in my short life. The various experiences I've... Experienced, are all true and happening at different times over the years. Do they all weave together? I don't know. Due to the TRUTH behind t...

Dark Shadowy Figure by vivian678

When I was young (pre-k to grade school) I used to see and hear things that no one else could hear in my house. The house I lived in as a child was built after WW2, and I don't know for sure if it was haunted or just an old house. I used to hear random noises throughout the house when I was alon...

House In The Woods by Phantom380

This took place many years ago. I won't state exactly how many but it may or may not have been in the spring of 1945. (My grandson showed me this site and let me use his account to tell my story.) Growing up in rural New Jersey there was a crumbling neighborhood in my town that was set back in the o...

House Hopping by kbc_95

This all started in Newport, AR when I was only six years old (I'm currently seventeen). This first part was told to me by my grandmother who is the biggest skeptic you will ever meet when it comes to believing in 'ghosts'. My great grandfather (on my mom's side) died years before I was born and...

My keyboard is not working. I have been having all kinds of weird occurrences in this house, such as, lights popping on, doorbell going off and no one there, feelings of being watched and a friend telling me I had a ghost or 2 here. My daughter basically acted possessed one night so I decided to ...

Grandpa Ignacius... The Clown: by MsWrestlersGhost

This is the story of how my favourite Grandpa, my mum Annalissa's dad, and how he still let's me know he's still around and loves me. Even though he died some 15 years ago this year. Due to overwhelming tears with my prior stories, I am issuing a "Tissue Alert". I don't want a flood warning to co...

The Farnsworth In Gettysburg by polarage

I have plenty of ghostly encounters stories that I could tell, but this one is by far my favorite, since I also caught this spirit on camera without realizing it. My best friend called me one day in July of 2006. She knew I was very much interested in ghosts and the afterlife. So she told me about t...

I am a doctor and work in an elementary school. Recently as I was climbing the inside steps of the school I unexpectedly felt a bird land on my right shoulder.

Am I Cursed? Blessed? by luna17

Lingering Souls In The Old Beach House by Phantom380

This story is a 100% true account of my paranormal encounters and those of my family and I with ghosts that manifest themselves very clearly. Growing up, my family shared a very old beach-house on the Jersey Shore (it's nothing like the show so don't even go there) with a nice old woman named Doroth...

Permanent Resident by pookeybug2235

Here's my story: Last year I moved into a new house and after the first week I started hearing footsteps when I was home alone. My roommate and my boyfriend just thought I was crazy. They even told me so, but it became more constant. I always heard it in the room above mine. It was an empty room tha...

Can I Use Your Computer? by SparklinBurgndy

Years ago I rented a small studio apartment in Crawfordsville, Indiana. The building went back to 1900 and had served a number of purposes before being made into apartments. In the laundry room in the basement you could still see where an indoor pool had been filled in with concrete. Essentially,...

What Made Me A Believer by Rachel_4

For starters, after this I have become a firm believer in the paranormal. I'm now 14 and have had many experiences. My first one was when I was 8 or 9 years old. Then I thought people were joking with me about ghosts and just trying to scare me. Soon I would be wrong and then I had no idea... I ...

House Making It Hard To Remain A Skeptic by m15terp1nk

I'm going to start by mentioning I am a skeptic. Not to say that I don't believe paranormal occurrences can take place I just try to find the most rational explanation first. The house I live in is making it hard to deny the fact that there is something wrong here. The earliest occurrence I can ...

Warnings by grace01

First, I want to thank you for choosing this experience to read! Okay, so it was the Summer of May 2011 and my Uncle was very sick and had to have open heart surgery. We weren't sure he would make it, and he did through the first one. They had to go back and do another one but he didn't want them to...

Little Girl In White Night Gown by dwright0508

In October of 2011 I woke up one morning at around 3am. I could not move or talk. I was able to move my eyeballs.

I Have A Ghost Attached To Me by Darrilynn

I have a ghost attached to me. Let me just make a long story short. I'm a psychic and my room mate is a medium. Together we're dynamite, as in, together, we have stronger abilities and can sense, feel, touch, hear, and communicate better with spirits. As someone who doesn't have these abilities, ac...

Four Legged Dark Creature by cfelix1422

During my senior year of high school, I would normally sleep real late into the night. Since my room was on the second floor, it provided me with the privacy I needed, without any one disturbing my conversations. I was a teenager who enjoyed talking on the phone with friends, and calling from bed wa...

Rock House by 19funsize91

When I was younger about 10-13 or 14 my family had lived in a house my step mom had inherited from her parents after her father's death and her mom due to the memories not wanting to live there anymore.

Spirit Impersonating My Mother? by Leslie81

This happened in 1996, when I was 15. In the house we were living in, my bedroom opened up to a hall. It was also the last room before the kitchen.

Little Girl In My Basement by ghosthunter102

This all started about four years ago when I was 15. The first experience I had with the ghost in my basement was when I was sitting on my computer when no one else was home. The television had been turned off so it was just a black screen. Out of the corner of my eye and in the black of the TV scre...

Contact With An Unwanted Spirit by sweetsiren

One morning I was lying in my bed awake, but I still had my eyes closed and was resting in bed. As I was lying on my left side, I felt pressure over my body as if someone or something was leaning on/over me. Simultaneously, I heard a screaming sound in my right ear that became maniacal laughter. It'...

A Hanging Woman? by MachineGunLola

I'm pretty scared about all this. I've been living in this apartment for a few months now, and at first nothing out of the ordinary happened. But for at least a month now, I've been hearing whispers when I'm in bed (this has happened a lot over the past few years) and when I'm sometimes simply walki...

What Did I See? by Wondering1

About 10 years ago when my daughter was around 16, she's my middle child, she has an older sister and younger brother, I saw something that I haven't been able to explain fully. The reason that I mention my daughter, her name is Brittany, is because I feel like I would never have seen this thing if ...

How Do I Get Rid Of It? by NightKunoichi

I've posted a story previously, I'm not sure if this is the same spirit or something different but here goes. Things had quieted down for a while and then I got this new phone that I downloaded this app onto. It's called Ghost Detector and it, essentially has a detector radar (I'm not sure how accur...
