Blues Brother by unquiet

My brother died in a tragic accident several years ago. A few months after he died, my mother and I were sitting in her living room reminiscing about him when she suddenly asked me if my son (who was 10 years old at the time) would like to have my brother's black fedora hat. My brother liked...

The One Who Was Spying On Us by chuckz_21

I use to work inside a warehouse and I had three incidents when I saw someone who actually wasn't there. The first time I saw someone I thought it was our boss who was real pain in the butt. The managers inside the warehouse would wear a red vest, he is Caucasian, with blonde hair and blue eyes. I...

Grandmother Mary by Alphagirl7199

I was a young girl, maybe 9- 10 years old. I had been going to this elementary school in Las Vegas where we had a small fundraising carnival going on. My father had taken us to make up for not seeing us for almost a month. My little sister and I were all over the place having fun and playing the g...

Winking Twinkling Charlie by msforgetmenott

I recently read a story on YGS about an experience while very young. In my opinion, many if not all speak and baby talk about seeing someone or something. Unfortunately the young children are easily dismissed as their words are hard to understand or the adults are too busy to listen. Then for most c...

Grim Reaper Or Shadow Person? by Em1234

When I was little, about seven years old, I would always see this sort of figure. It was almost like a shadow but it was pitch black. It had a pointed hood, just like the grim reaper. Now I know that some people say that the grim reaper is supposed to stand for death, but I didn't feel that way. Whe...

Invisible Stalker? by giannaoco

This is my first year up in Marquette and I always like to know if the town I'm living in is haunted or has haunted places to visit. I did my research and found a couple places that are haunted. One of those places is the NMU college that I'm currently attending. I read about the stories and got a l...

Watching? by muzikman

My wife and I like to explore old abandon properties as a sort of hobby on the weekends. One weekend we drove by an old house that looked abandoned and it wasn't posted to keep out and nothing was locked up like the gate or barn that was adjacent of this old house. There were old farm implements a...

She Needed Help by unquiet

A few years ago my family and I traveled to a small beach town on the east coast of Florida for a quick overnight stay. My 14 year old daughter was volunteering to help with an event, so my husband, myself, and son went along. While searching the internet for a hotel close to the venue, I was in...

Down A Dark Hall by Jenn63

I already despise the story that I am about to share because it has no ending. Twenty-one years have past since the activity started, and, at first, it seemed quite harmless, almost funny...ALMOST. But lately, there seems to be a new presence with more influence, and it has become quite frightening....

Confirmation From Our Dog by Britral

My three children and I rented a house for a few years in Mobile County, Alabama, starting in 2015. Shortly after our first year there in the house, I began to notice small instances that alerted me that we may not be alone. Tapping on windows, misplaced items, nothing traumatic. It did, however, ...

A Stalking White Spirit, What Is It? by Necromaniac

Recently, there's been some strange phenomenon happening after I moved with my father to a different state. All the time in many homes I've been in, there's always something happening, but I didn't expect it to follow me from state to state. I have enough on my plate as is, and I feel that this enti...

Ghostly Revenge by Poobah

This house was located in Ontario California. We bought it a few months before my first son was born. I worked in an electronic assembly company.

My Home Of Paranormal Activity by tmill64

Shortly after turning in for the night, dog sleeping by the nightstand, I go through my email and check my online buying and selling sales.

Doctor Office Ghosts by funnybee450

I work in a pediatric doctor office and we have several paintings on our walls from sick kids from the children's hospital we are associated with. Quite a few of us here have had several experiences.

New House With A Visitor by Hauntingmylife

We recently bought a house in a small town in Florida. It's a retirement lake community that most folks have bought into as Winter getaway homes. Others live here all year round and everyone is like one big family. We were aware that someone had died in our home but that hadn't bothered us. The hou...

Highlands Haunting by RunningToMeetTheMoon

When I was 20 I moved into my first apartment, which was in an older home in the Highlands area of Louisville. It was a beautiful home, and the rent was super affordable for the area. Despite sensing a feeling of a presence during the walk through I was still excited to move in. It didn't take long ...

Who Was In The Car? by Dede77

This happened to me about 5 years ago, in 2013, and I still am baffled by it. I was on my way to work early in the morning, around 6:30, so it was still dark. As I rounded a corner on my road, I came upon a car stopped in the middle of the road. I halted behind it for a moment, before realizing th...

The Shadowman From Hell by paranormalnut

In the old days, we spent our evenings as a family parked in front of our old black and white TV set. There were only four channels back then: 3, 13, 8, and PBS. Being down in the hills, we could only pick up two: 3 and 13. If atmospheric conditions were just right, and they seldom were, we could pu...

Where Does It Go? by Twilight1011

This is somewhat of a new experience that has now happened twice to me, well that I know of.

Concerning Hallucinations And Otherwordly Matters by DirtCreature

As a skeptical agnostic, I often question my experiences or outright dismiss them assuming I am overreacting to stimuli. However, some minor experiences and memories have led me to some questions concerning some feedback by the YGS community. After my last dismissal of strange events, some members n...

The Voices That I Thought Was Thiers by KankokuMochi

I remember when I was in my first year of college, I woke up around 3 AM in the morning. Let me give you an idea of the placement of the master bedroom to my room. My room was just perpendicular to the Master bedroom and parallel to the bathroom. But the main focus was the master bedroom and my ...

Big Black Dog by Haven

When I was around 15 or 16 years old, I was alone at home because my family had gone to a party. My mom was very hesitant to let me stay by myself because they were going to be out pretty late.

Because I Talked To It, It Got Worse by AndrewSimpson

Is It A Demon/ Witch Craft? by felidee623

So before you know what happened recently you'll need to know this: My grandfather was crazy into witchcraft voodoo. He used to draw pentagrams on the basement floor, put my aunt, uncle, and mom inside them, perform "spells" on them, and then throw them all in a closet. He used to call himself a "wi...

Evil In The Corner by DeliverDawn

Visits From A Shadow by Eve28

This took place in my parents home. But before I tell my story, I want you to know I never heard of a shadow person. I knew nothing about their existence, but that was about to change. In my childhood home we had a lot of unexplained things happen. Lights would cut on and off. The faucets would ...
