Restless Spirits by lwgrn4real66

This happened on the property next to the Crater of Diamonds in Murfreesboro, Arkansas. My wife at the time, my two step sons, (one being a big hockey player), and I went to Crater of Diamonds to dig/sift for diamonds. This was in 2002. A big creek separated The Crater of Diamonds and the proper...

Annoying Phantom Cats by PaulCratin

I have enjoyed reading Phantom Cat stories here. My personal experience has been somewhat disturbing. Phantom Cats are not new to me, but I never called them that before now. I have felt them for many years, and occasionally seen one out of the corner of my eye. At first, they were more surprising ...

Tall Stalker by SharkBoi

A couple years ago I was living in a trailer where me and my two brothers shared a room. One night, I was asleep and began to have a nightmare of something I've never seen before. A tall (like 7ft or something like that) scrawny manlike thing was chasing me down a hallway on all fours while ripping ...

Unknown Rainbow by ElectroCutieWitchpyre

It all started when I was very young, my mother always thought of me as an "Old Soul" by the way I analyzed things and how I acted. I remembered going through her closet and she asked me what I was doing. At 3 years old, I replied, "When you get to be as old as I am, you'll understand." My mother co...

"hello" by Truthfinder25

My parents currently live in a 100-year-old farmhouse, just outside of Clinton, Arkansas. We've had countless experiences through the years, but the one that I'd like to share, happened late one night when we had company. A friend of mine was visiting with his baby brother, who was just starting to ...

A Toying Entity by little_baby_squid

When I turned 14 I had two of my closest friends stay over night at my mother's house for my birthday. We watched horror movies of course because those were my favorite kinds of movies, and we had a game called nightmare that we played, and my cake was Nightmare Before Christmas themed. We were all ...

Alien Creature by BrittBass01

Hey! Just some introduction here, I've always been interested in paranormal things. This story happened recently. I've always believed in aliens but never came in contact with one. I've seen things like lights in the sky before but nothing spectacular. Well one night about 11, me and my boyfrie...

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 ...

The Night I Met Maria by yomomma

February 22, 1993 at 2:01 p.m., I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I had morning sickness the entire pregnancy. I gained only 11 pounds which put me in the high risk category. Needless to say, her birth didn't go as planned. I was induced into labor at 36 weeks because she had stopped growing...

Let Me Out Of The Shower by yomomma

This following occurrences happened in early 2011. E, our youngest daughter and Z, our youngest son were still living at home at this time. Our oldest daughter and her husband came over for dinner and movie night. Z's girlfriend was also there. About midway into the movie, E decided she w...

Kitchen Shadow Man by yomomma

I believe this next occurrence happened in 2011. It was night-time and I was home alone. Being home alone was something I had come to dread. Especially after dark. I wasn't the only one who felt this way. Both of my daughters refused to stay in the house alone. That night my husband was at work. ...

Whispers In The Night (story 4) by yomomma

I don't have an exact date for this next account. I do know it happened late 2008 or early 2009. When I sat down at my computer tonight (April 20, 2016) I had not planned to write this. I am not sure I ever planned to write it. This account lasted or recurred for several weeks. Shortly after the ...

Christmas Eve Cowboy by yomomma

I'm taking a short break from writing about the occurrences in my home. This story took place in my sister's home many years ago. There is a reason I feel the need to write about it now. I received a phone call from my sister last night. She was finally returning my calls. I had been trying to get h...

My Paranormal Life (story 2) by yomomma

After seeing the little boy (Little Blue Eyed Boy) I told you about in my previous story, nothing of great importance happened in our home for years. We would have an item come up missing to later find it where it should have been in the first place. Such as my kitchen colander, serving forks and sp...

An Audible Manifestation by SpiritLady

My only ghostly experience came in the fall of 1986. I had lost most of my vision from diabetes and had entered a residential rehabilitation facility in the capital city of a southern state. Rumors had been shared among clients about odd things that occurred on this campus that encompassed an en...

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....

The Pointing Lady by mspackman15

I have lived in Heber Springs Arkansas my whole life. Those of you who have never been there, it is a lake town. Full of small, old gas stations and farm land for miles. Mountains and bad reception is what it's known for. But beautiful lake. Our camp is about 30 minutes from the nearest highway ...

Oddities by mommybookworm

I'd just like to start by saying that I've attempted to post on this site several times and I guess today was my lucky day. I am a 24 year old female. I am a Christian, happily married with 3 beautiful healthy children. I spend my days cooking, cleaning and trying to stay sane while being a good wif...

The Woman Who Visited Me Every Night by RadioGuy42

This happened to me when I was a four-year-old. This is something I've always remembered. Every night, my mom put me to bed. Just another normal night in the house. But every night when my mom left, I would wait for somebody. Someone I now call The White Woman (for a reason). Every night I wok...

Cemtery Prank Gone Wrong by Mama22bratz

This is another story about my experiences in the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas. As you may recall from my previous submission, "Haunted Ozark Church House", there is an old cemetery (Ft. Douglas Cemetery) adjacent to the church house. This story takes place in that very cemetery later that ...

Stories From Our Deck by Wish-Not

I have mentioned in my previous stories that we are lucky enough to live in a fairly rural location in Arkansas. The house sits on top of a ridge with the back of the house pointing due North. Our deck is on the back side and offers a beautiful view of the farmlands below. For this reason we spend a...

Haunted Crescent Hotel In Arkansas by katiem25

Last weekend me, my husband, my brother and his girlfriend stayed for two nights at the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. We booked room 101 which was Norman Baker's office when he ran a cancer "hospital". The first night we stayed up really late and nothing happened in our room. We st...

Taps, Tinks And Toots by Wish-Not

As I have mentioned before, our current guest sure wants our attention. I found myself wide awake Christmas morning about 2am. I tossed and turned before finally giving up on getting back to sleep. I quietly got out of bed and closed the door behind me as I left the bedroom. My hope was I would ...

The Experiences Of My Youth by ramble

I want to start by saying that I am for the most part skeptical of many paranormal claims. I personally feel that it is something people use because they want there to be more. That being said I have experienced things of the 'paranormal' variety. I am inclined to believe certain stories, things goi...

It Was Unintended by Wish-Not

One of our many, many visitors showed a unique talent. It was a warm summer weekend night as friends came to visit, eat, drink and be merry. As usual. We enjoy entertaining friends and this is something we do all the time. We all had our fill of delicious food and cleared the table for some comp...

Sophie's Story by Wish-Not

Jennifer and I are blessed to have a 6 year old Shih Tzu named Sophie. She is such a laid back caring dog that seems to have a connection to both Jennifer and I. She can tell when either or both of us are upset or mad. She'll be there to give comfort for those reasons or to give aid if we are not fe...

Ever Since by Wish-Not

Greetings YGS people. Every since I experienced the "BIG", it has left me with the ability (whether I want it or not) to feel, see, experience moments that I never had before. There is no sense or rhyming to the timing, magnitude or location of them. We have a cabin on 80 acres in the middle the...

Just A Handful Of Smaller Things by Wish-Not

After my enlightenment to this type of things I have had a lot of what I call cute, fun or interesting moments that was shared by close friends and family. At this point in life my close friends and family will roll their eyes and say something like "seriously?" when something goes bump or falls. Mo...

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...

Haunted House On Colonial by HauntedinArkansas

When myself and my wife first started dating, she lived with her parents in a rent house because they were building a house. I have always been a skeptic, and even until this day I am one that has to see it to believe it. My wife would tell me stories of the house they lived in was haunted, well I w...

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...

Church Named Sharon by MaryLilac

My story begins with a family road trip. It was summer 1971, my mom and dad loaded me and my younger sisters into our Rambler station wagon to make our way from Tulsa to North West Arkansas. We made this trip at least twice a year to see my grandmother. The highways then were two lane, sharp curves,...

The Crescent Hotel by JustanotherTori

This story takes place in Eureka Springs Arkansas. The town itself is known as being a "haunted town" (Maybe it's all the limestone they have). It's a tourist town located in the Ozark Mountains in northern Arkansas. If you have never been here, it is definitely a place to visit and one of the most ...

Samantha's House by JustanotherTori

First of all I will apologize for the length of this story, but there is a lot to tell. These events take place in Harrison, Arkansas. It's a small town in Northern Arkansas. I currently live in Missouri but my best friend Samantha lives in Harrison. This is her story: Samantha is a single mother of...

Priest by JTM1218

When I was a child, maybe at the age of 9 or 10, me and my cousins visited my grandparents house regularly. There was nothing creepy about the house, as we loved going there to see each other, as well as our grandparents themselves. One night, we decided to play a game with our grandmother in wh...

Chained To My Closet by Kolchak

It started when I was about ten. I lived in a house in Arkansas. I don't know if there was anything that might have triggered the experience, but I certainly didn't do anything. I was walking into my basement to get something (I can't remember what) when I felt a chill and had a feeling that someon...

Helpless At 3am by zarric

I was born in '81. Not in a large city or a backwoods town. Just a Middle sized place in the desert. Born to a father and mother that love me very much. I was my fathers 2nd child and my mothers 1st. My oldest sibling didn't live with my family because my fathers first wife was granted custody. It w...

Our Extra Clients by Kelley08

In 2005 I opened a day spa around the corner from the historic district in Conway. We opened the first week in December. About a week before Christmas we started hearing items being moved around but no one in the room the noise was coming from. Now the house was built in the early 1900's so settling...

Man On The Highway by nowabeliever

This event took all of the skepticism out of me. Here is what occured: This happened back in 1993. I was driving home with my girlfriend after a date to the movies. It was late on a cold, clear January night. There were no clouds. There was no fog. It was about 12:30 a.m. As we approached a hill,...

My boyfriend Jackson has 5 siblings, he is the oldest. The second oldest is his brother Jake, who this story is mostly about. Jackson's family moved here ...

My First Encounter With Spirits by Tiffyfaye

When I was around 12 I was standing in the living room in the Apt we were living in at the time. I was standing up kind of watching a show on TV waiting on my mom. We were fixing to go to the store and my younger brother had just walked out the door to go visit a friend. While I was standing there I...

Graveyard Shift Sightings by Kensomniac

I work third shift at a local motel, and have been there for over 7 months. Over the winter time I got adjusted to the strange things that come with working in the motel business. Even being wide awake at 4am can still be a strange time to be awake. Some things though aren't easy to explain. Like li...

Deal With The Devil by C-lancy

As a child I didn't really ever have experiences with anything paranormal... That is until I was 12 years old. I totally brought this upon myself and I have been living with the consequences ever since. I grew up in a relatively devout catholic family and always believed in God. I never had trie...

What Is This? by rache1020

Let me start by saying I am really not sure what kind of spirit I am dealing with, and that I did not summon it of my own accord. I am a practicing solitary; I won't claim any religion as my own. There is some truth in everything. It started around my birthday, October 20. I moved into a new hous...

A Spirit With A Good Sense Of Humor by KSangel180

Throughout my life I've had odd things happen to me. Not so much as say some of my family. We never doubted the existence of ghosts, but my mother never encouraged us to think of it much. She believed that dwelling on it could make it worse. I agree, but my sis and I loved discussing it even to this...

My Family Ghost Stories by Missmelanie04

I come from a long line of hauntings and many members of my family claim to have been haunted. My Great Aunt Helen told me about a house in Garvin, Oklahoma. She moved with her brother and sister-in-law. She told me that they would always hear children laughing and crying in the woods near the ho...

Ghost In My Apartment 3 by Missmelanie04

After the knocking and the other incidents, I stopped being afraid by whatever or whoever is in this apartment. Since we moved in, I have felt presences enter the room, like energy waves go over my body. Most of the time it's when I'm alone and watching TV or reading. I'll be lying in bed or on ...

Ghost In My Apartment by Missmelanie04

My boyfriend and I moved into our duplex apartment in East Camden, Arkansas around Feb. 2007, 2 months before I gave birth to my son. About two weeks after we moved in, he was at work and I woke up around 8:00 am and was watching TV in bed. I heard a loud knock on the front door. I'm a very ...

Nikki: Dead, Not Gone 3 by Piro

Last night I was in my room and suddenly the light started flipping on, off, on, off, on. I looked around thinking that I was sitting on the light remote, but there it was, on the floor, in plain sight. It started turning on and off again, so I looked at my digital clock, but it wasn't turning on an...

Nikki: Dead, Not Gone by Piro

My cousin Nikki was, and is, my best friend. She was like a sister to me. She was the classic teenager; Gothic but won't admit it, into the much older, dangerous guys. If fact, that is what led to her death. A drunken boyfriend driving her home, and hitting a speed bump at 80 mph. It all started...
