The Spirits Of The Old Jail by ParanormalInvestigator19

With a story like this, where exactly do I start? I have always held an interest in the paranormal, and this one evening in St. Augustine, I decided I would attempt to perform a paranormal investigation and get my toes wet, and see what it was all about. After all what was the worst that could happe...

Unexplained Noises/occurrences In The Spare Room At Night by nisubar

Thank you for reading. I am hearing noises in out spare bedroom when I occasionally sleep in there. The most frequent (and I am positive 100% it is not rodents) is a distinct "loud dripping" noise that always sounds exactly the same. The best way to describe it is that it sounds like drops of wat...

Man Of The House by Namara

I'm not sure if this is a love story or a ghost story. I have always been clairvoyant and have experienced odd things but nothing like this, and I haven't experienced it again. I was in the fifth grade and my family moved to a ranch home in Gainesville built after the World War by a couple who had...

I Saw It Again! by Piperasc

So as I told in my last encounter "My husband's Doppelganger?" I had seen what I only know as to be an entity that looked like my husband sitting on the side of the bed in his pajamas he wore that night to bed while my husband laid sleeping. I am still not sure what it is. However 3 nights ag...

My Husband's Doppelganger? by Piperasc

I often feel like someone is standing over me as I sleep, my legs get shaky and light. If that makes sense. I always have. Sometimes I can almost feel who it is (my gramma, uncle, mom, etc.), other times I have this fear. One night I rolled over towards my husband as his back was towards me. My ha...

The Uninvited Passenger by MrRiggs

June 2020 brought with it my 73rd birthday, our 50th wedding anniversary, and very nearly my death. The bite of a Lone Star tick passed an infection into my bloodstream that was nearly fatal. Had treatment been delayed by a day I would have died, according to my doctor. That experience confirmed ...

Baby Kicking My Car Seat by DanielJZ

I have been actively reading everyone's stories here and have decided to submit my own. It's nothing crazy but still really freaked me out and you will see why. This happened around May 2016 when I was dating my now wife N. N and I had just finished our dinner/movie date and I had just dropped ...

The Shadow Upstairs by adove

This happened about 1995, I was 33 at the time. We lived in Tampa Florida in an apartment and my sister and her kids lived in the apartment right across the porch. Her kids ran back and forth between both places most of the time. I would babysit them when she and her husband went out, sometimes even...

Shadowy Greetings From My Haunted Childhood by Veylre

When I was very young, around 5 years of age, my parents moved out to the rural town of Wimauma, Florida. I had numerous encounters there of a seemingly paranormal nature. We moved into a 2 bedroom single wide trailer with no air conditioning so leaving the windows and bedroom doors open for sim...

The Angry Red Man by Arieson13

I have some concerns... But to understand I should start at the beginning... When I was about 3-4 years old, my grandmother was messing with an ouija board around me. At one point there was a knock on the door and when grandmother checked outside nobody was there. I told her, "there is someone. ...

A Vist By Three by adove

This happened when I was 12 years old in Saint Petersburg Florida. My Father was over seas at the time so my Mother decided that we would all stay with her mother for a while. So she packed up us five kids and we went to live our Grandmother. The time with our Grandmother was not always an easy one....

Ignis Fatuus (ghost Lights) by James_sightings

Ghost lights (Ignis Fatuus) We always loved taking the kids camping. One summer night under a warm, muggy clear night sky in 2011, the time was only an hour or two into sunset. We were walking across the campground to the lake, which has a pier across it that's four feet wide. I was gazing i...

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...

Shadow People And A Little Girls Voice by MrsRizzo2429

Hey readers I am here to stop by because I wanted to give an update about somethings that have been going on. Things have been going missing lately around our house.

Anne's House Update by Aliviashae

It's been a long time since I've posted anything here. There are few stories I haven't shared. I thought maybe keeping experiences to myself and putting less energy towards it would keep activity in my life down. That's been the case for a while... But since it's close to Halloween my coworker was i...

Something Spooky Happened - Shadow People by MrsRizzo2429

A Creepy Night by MrsRizzo2429

A few years ago, a friend of mine that I had not seen in a while got in touch with me and asked if I would like to go over to their house and have dinner. I was happy that my friend got in touch with me. I had never been to my friend's house. My friend lives two hours away so I don't get to see th...

The Little Demon Girl by Sweetly_Sour_Roses

I've always been spiritually active, ever since I was a little girl to be honest. I assure you it wasn't by my own choice, I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I've attracted all sorts of spirits, but the main ones that seem to want to get closer to me have been Demons; as you can already assume, they ar...

Red Orb In Bedroom by PinkSparkle

Last night I went to bed early, my husband was in the living room as he stayed up to watch tv and my son was in the office on his computer. I went to sleep only to be awoken by a red orb. The Orb was hovering over my bed about 4 feet above me. It appeared 3 dimensional about 7 inches round. It l...

Is It Real: Shadow Encounters by DirtCreature

Shadow people are a peculiar type of entity. I believe they can either be human or nonhuman and perhaps they are not able to manifest entirely so we see them as a blur generally with no or few discernible features. When I first begun seeing shadow people, I was a child in the evening fully awake and...

Dreams Of Water by Vegan93

A few years back into 2014. I used to have dreams that I would either crash in water with a truck or swimming in water or scuba diving with strange creatures for a long time. Always reoccurring dreams. Left me searching for answer in google for days but never had an answer. Before I get to the story...

Game Cam Photos by ggrdn1250

My brother sets up game cameras in different areas. Over a year ago, he set it up in my yard. When he checked it there was a unexplained figure in the photo. Almost a year later, he had his camera set up on a tree in the cow pastor. When he check it, you can plainly see a ghost and also see his bugg...

My Husband's Doppleganger by Tangela01

One day I was at home laying across the bed. I wasn't asleep, just relaxing, waiting on my husband V to come home, when something spoke to me not audibly but telepathically.

The Cloak Entity by Humblekinele

It had to of been around two or three in the morning when this happened. I was asleep but I always wake up through out the night so waking up around this time isn't odd for me. As I was waking up I notice this figure standing by the window. It's whole body was covered by a cloak, and I could tell th...

Spooky Holiday Experience by Oceana

Last year, I stayed in a house rented to me by a family. It was a nice house, although I can't remember the address. The first day was fine, but the night was kind of creepy. I settled down to sleep, when I heard the front door open and two men shouting. 1:Why is she here? I don't want her here ...

Snake Shadows On My Wall by EveryHour

I grew up in a very haunted house. I have had countless paranormal experiences but one of the first ones is still very vivid in my memory.

A Scary Get Together by Aliviashae

So, my family became friends with another family...

Haunted Biltmore Hotel by sherm784

Spent a few nights recently at Miami's famously haunted Biltmore hotel. If you've never heard of the Biltmore, it was built in the 1920s and used to be a military hospital during WW2. There is also a 20s era mobster who haunts it apparently. I was there for a wedding. I had a hard time sleeping ...

The Daycare Ghost by Aliviashae

For the past 5 months, I've been working at a daycare, and I've decided to share some experiences I've had there, as well as any I may have in the future. Some could be actual happenings, some may not be, but it's the compilation of everything that makes it interesting. I'm looking for thoughts on ...

Talked To A Ghost? by migsly

This happened back in October of 1995. I went to a family reunion at a church with a cemetery. It has some of my ancestors buried in it. When I got there I didn't see anyone but an elderly lady walking through the tombstones toward the church. Her hair was up in a bun like old ladies used to wear an...

Children Sense It Better by KoopaCake

To this day, I'm not sure if I've been able to project my nightmares straight into my room as I awaken while I am coherent enough to talk to anyone who may be with me nearby or I actually saw ghosts in my childhood home but what I saw and heard felt so real. When I was really little my parents would...

Stalker Clad In Black 2 by DirtCreature

I notice that most of my experiences happen around the evening. From the first time I saw shadow people as a child to now, I've tended to see, feel, or hear anything nearing 6pm into the wee hours of morning. One night I was sitting by myself at my laptop and felt someone touching me once more. I've...

Need Help About Shadow Man by alone1303

I have been seeing this shadow person since I was little. I first started seeing him in my old house in Ohio. He is tall and all black with red eyes. He would watch me while I sleep. Some nights I would wake up and not be able to move and I would see him. I moved to Florida and I stopped seeing him,...

I Saw A Full-length Ghost by DavidEasterling

One night I laid down to go to sleep. Maybe after 10 minutes I turned over, then I saw what I thought was my girlfriend standing next to some shelves. I hollered out, "What are you looking for honey?" No response. The room was mostly dark but did have some light coming in the room, enough to see...

It Came From The Ouija Board by cityofangels

Some people will tell me it's all in my head, others will say I'm just plain crazy, but I still stand by what I saw, what I felt and what I experienced on a Halloween night in 2008, nearly eight years ago when I, a fun loving 14 year old, and my friend decided to play a nice friendly game of Ouija. ...

Baby Girl Is Sensitive by PunkysMama

This is a very minor event that occurred last week, but I need to give the (slightly long) backstory so that you can understand my reaction to the event that occurred with my almost 1 ½ year old daughter. I purchased my very first home on October 16th of 2015. I fell in love with my house the fi...

Stalker Clad In Black by DirtCreature

So there have been some recent events. Now I consider myself to be sensitive to the paranormal when it comes to hearing and feeling and even smelling sometimes. But not seeing so much. I believe that something is stalking me in a romantic way (and to be honest, I do feel a little embarrassed to admi...

The Biggest Mistake I've Ever Made by Klore

So I know many people have asked if I've had a second experience with the same entity from my previous story, but I feel it is best to move this whole thing in chronological order so that is what I'm going to do. I have never been the religious type, despite my experiences when I was little, but...

My Crucifix Will Not Stay! by jkiel1

I recently purchased a Sterling Silver Crucifix from an antique shop near our home in Daytona Beach, Florida.
