Warning Signs To A Tragedy by 1966JRD425

I was born in Washington DC and lived in an old home in a neighborhood near an area called Mount Pleasant.

Creepy Jewelry Box Music by Ashley1985

Yesterday, my mother went to the hospital because she has had complications from a surgery she had.

I hope he is with...

Not Quite The Shinning by Johanna

This happened while I was visiting Washington D.C. With my parents for a few days. On our first night there, we checked into our hotel, a Hilton on Connecticut Avenue.

Dc's History by justin102798

I went to DC during the summer. While there, I went to the air and space museum. I took a picture of the Spirit of Texas and when I looked at the picture, it looked like there was a face in the window. It looked like a man with sandy blond hair and a scratched up face. I still look at the picture to...

Unusual Activity From My Ghost by BabyBoo

We have lived in our condo for over 3 years now and have had what I consider ghostly activity since we moved in. I have contributed a couple of stories about the happenings in my home to this site.

I Only Wanna Be A Part Of The Family by stormie

The Touch by BabyBoo

I've written before about how I believe my condo is haunted. The ghost likes to turn water on, turn off and on lights, and in general do things that are never really scary but seem to be a way to say "Hey, I'm here too..." There have been a couple of incidents lately that have been unusual that I th...

Creepy Closet by coco31

When I was 13, I lived in my grandmother's house with my mom and my sister. The house was old (I'm not sure how old), and there was a furnace door across from my room. I came home from school one day and no one was there. I did my homework and laid on my bed to watch t.v. It was around 7 or 7:30, be...

Who Else Lives Here? by BabyBoo

My husband and I purchased and moved into a brand new apartment in a very urban area. For the first few months we were settling in and didn't really notice anything out of the ordinary.
