Clicking Noises by Dindin

I just moved to Kentucky from Illinois. I've been here a month and until last night I've not experienced a haunting. The place I left had a lot of action that was happening regularly. I even accidentally recorded 2 ghost voices and heard those voices myself afterwards a few times. The reason I'm ...

Kentucky Dream Turned To Nightmare by neveragain101

So upon many just awful life circumstances in a particular region of the United States, I decided to take my two children and move to a more rural and desirable location for all of us to live in.

Mysterious Ball Of Light by piscesrising_

Hope this story finds you well. I have always been a believer in all things paranormal. I've never been a skeptic, even as a child. My parents have told me stories of me talking about seeing "angels" when I was young. I have had my fair share of experiences with the paranormal and I'm excited to...

Ghostly Voices by adove

This story happened in Kentucky in 2017 and then again in 2019. My mother was ill for awhile and always said she never wanted to be placed in a old folks' home. She wanted a promise, so to make her feel better we said we wouldn't. But as it happens sometimes, her illness got worse we couldn't keep h...

Shadow Figure Or Guardian Angel? by Mikayla1698

I've searched this many times, with no luck finding anything on it. I'm not sure where else to post and ask questions. Here we go: When I was young, maybe 5-6, my family lived in a three-bedroom house. We had a few guests over one night, (my sister, her boyfriend, my sister's friend and my siste...

Angel Of The Dark by Kirbyp

I live on the outskirts of the small historic town of Vine Grove. It's a residential area well off the beaten path surrounded by forest and close to Otter Creek. I've lived here for 9 years with my chocolate Lab/Bullmastiff mix named Harley. He had to be put down last year because he was deaf, al...

Indian Burial Grounds & More by Abhorred

I have no idea what I could possibly be experiencing and barely know where to start. I just turned 20, on the 11th. Ever since I was a boy, my mother always told me I got my "intuitiveness" from her and I started understanding what she meant as I had my first visual experience down in Florida when I...

Messages From The Newly Dead by MrRiggs

It was 1991 as I recall. An unknown member of my extended family sought to gather the clan by organizing a family reunion. I was contacted by this person, a second cousin, and invited to attend. This was a bit unusual as our family had scattered across the country long before the invention of the pe...

Mr. Riggs Walks by MrRiggs

On March 2, 2004 I adopted a nearly 3 year old male Miniature Schnauzer (dog) named Mugsy. He was to be a replacement for my recently passed Schnauzer, also known as Mugsy. The matching names seemed to be coincidence. That they both walked with an occasional catch in their right hip seemed to be som...

The Disembodied Voice From The Wood by Clairvoyant_Disease

When I was younger, me, my cousin, (N) and our aunt (J) went for a walk outdoors down the holler. Well me being the curious little kid I was I walked down over the hill on the other side of the road.

I'm Sure I Never Locked The Door by kentucky_believer

This story will be short, but it freaked me out quite a bit. I'll start off by saying I'm off work for the Summer (I am a classroom assistant) and recently had surgery, so I've been spending quite a bit of time in my bed. The way my room is laid out, I can see everything from my bed; the closet door...

A few days from the day I'm writing this (February 25th) marks the one year anniversary of the passing my beloved Bermin cat, Petra.

I come here several times day to read about people's experiences and to offer any advice I can and sometimes just to enjoy posting with friends here.

Unexplainable Noises by kentucky_believer

As some background information, I'm going to explain my house a bit. I live in an old Cape Cod style house (my family knows a woman in her mid to late sixties who lived in our house as a child) though the house has been changed quite a bit through the years; the signature windows that make a Cape Co...

Funeral Home Cleaning by JJP

Several years ago, I was working in juvenile corrections in Eastern Kentucky. My best friend, let's call her Jennifer, had her own cleaning business and one of the clients was a funeral home.

Do Children Attract Spirits? by kentucky_believer

For several months, I worked at a preschool. When I first started working there, another teacher-lets call her Annie-told me the school was haunted.

Can Objects Actually Become Haunted? by kentucky_believer

Throughout my teenage years, I lived in a haunted house out in the country. So when I was 20 and we moved to a house in the city, I was thrilled. For six months, everything was normal, until my dad decided to surprise my mom by buying her an antique China cabinet. My maternal great-grandmother colle...

The Shadow In The Doorway by kentucky_believer

At the age of 21, I was living with my parents and younger brother (who, at the time, was a high school junior) who depended on me to wake him up for school because he could sleep through an alarm clock. Being off work this one morning, I decided to go back to bed after I was certain he was awake...

My Home's Other Residents. What Was Their Purpose? by kentucky_believer

From the time I was 12 until I was 19, I lived in a house that was fairly far out in the country; our closest neighbors were over a mile away and most of our backyard consisted of a heavily wooded mountain. That being said, when I first moved there I wasn't afraid to stay home alone when my mom ...

Glowing Eyes On Halloween Night by countryguy91

This one isn't super long, and may not be very scary to most, but it stuck with me for a long, long time. So, here goes. It was Halloween night, I think 2014, once again in my hometown of Richmond, Kentucky. My cousin, his girlfriend, and myself had been riding around, and went out to get some c...

Our Family Friends by MrsFishbait

The Girl In The Mansion by countryguy91

Razors by Marshy

Last night on 09/24/15, I woke up around 2:30 AM to use the bathroom. When I got back into my room I heard my roommate say something, it sounded foreign.

My First Attack by Kiragirl19

I remember when I was young maybe ten or eleven I had my first attack. Growing up I didn't have much paranormal witnessing or have anything out of the ordinary (Though my mom does like to say I've met Jesus in a dream before but that's beside the point). Anyway. I remember that it was dark outside w...

Smokey Face by sce93

I don't want to start off by saying "I never believed in ghosts." I was always one who speculated between the existence of the paranormal versus fantasy. My biggest encounter happened about 2 and a half years ago. It was a one time encounter, but I feel as though little things happen to show me that...

The Fog In The Attic by therealdill96

The Hole In The Wall by foxygirl0315

My husband and I moved into a house not far from my parents, it was family owned.

Blanket And Jacket Standing By Themselves by aoesterling

Spirits Of Today And The Past 2 by sandee568

It has been a while since I wrote my story. A lot has changed since then, but not the experiences. We moved from Washington State to Ga. For a month or so everything was quiet.

Ghost Twin by sammymarie1221

When I was in the 4th grade I had a strange occurrence. To this day I am still unsure what to make of it but I know that it frightened me then and I still can remember even though it happened 14 years ago. I lived with my Grandma growing up. My Grandma and I would share a bed together. A lot of ...

Ghost At The Restaurant? by gbpp8669

Last year my mom, my brother, and I went to the restaurant O'Charley's. I go there often, but this was the first time I'd ever seen what I believed to be a ghost.

A Restaurant Poltergeist by cfab

My Dad Was Chased by InkStainedMomma

This story occurred near Dixie Apartments, Goble Roberts, Prestonsburg, Floyd County KY. My dad and I have always been close, I'm daddy's little girl and of course I always listen to his stories.

The New House And Those Who Occupy by jane_doe287

My family moved into a new house February 23, 2011. Though moving is a stressful experience (of which I am not at all fond), this, I thought, would be good change as we have four kids and needed the space. And while it is a great thing, there are restless spirits/entities that dwell within this plac...

Spirit's Playmate by Gr1msy13

Strange And Unusual Happenings For Me by kariorit

I currently live in rural Kentucky, and we've been at this residence for the past 7 years. It was a home placed on the vacant land; as far as I know there has never been any home on it before.

Mother's Final Goodbye? by TheWhisperSilence

This all started when I was 10-yearsold. We had just had a power outage, so the only electrical thing we had were some flashlights so we could see. My father suddenly yelled for me to come into the room. It was pitch black. "Hayleigh, this flashlight just flickered on and off by itself!" At first I ...
