The Hangry Ghost, Strange Sounds And The Shadow Hand by 8-bitDemigod

These first couple of events happened a few years ago at work. I should have included them in my previous story about the hospital, but they were so minor I forgot about them until a few days ago so I figured I'd include them here to help pad out the character limit for the actual story at the end. ...

My Unknown Visitor by dowdyfamily1917

I don't know if this would qualify as a true ghost story, but it certainly gave me pause. I lost my daughter back in 2004. Understandably it was unexpected and put me into a state of shell shock. I took to going to the cemetery and would just sit by her gravesite, sometimes crying uncontrollably. I ...

Were They Just Dreams Or Something More? by 8-bitDemigod

It's been quite a while since my last post on here. Where have those two years gone? Nothing extra ordinary has happened in those intervening years that I had noticed until 4 months ago. I was put out of work due to injury on the first of May this year. My surgery was two weeks later on the 19...

3 Horned Bull Headed Man With Horse Legs by SleepDemons

I have always felt the presence of spirits, they often come to me as a dream like vision while I'm awake but almost asleep. In my youth I got flashes of scary gory horrifying imagery then I would feel a presence. I learned to communicate with mental imagery and found if I allowed the spirits to pass...

Gliding White Entity by ScareTale

This one happened one night in 2010. Me, my mom and older brother (who had recently moved back in because his girlfriend kicked him out) were sitting in the living room. I believe it was somewhere between 10:00/10:30. We had one of the windows open because it was early autumn and the air outside ...

Witch's Cackle? by ScareTale

As I stated in my first story "Voice On Tape", I was going to ask my mom if I could share some of her stories. I asked and she agreed. This happened to my mom and half sister before I was born. First off, in order to understand just how horrifying this was, I'll have to give a little detail of th...

Alone With A Poltergeist by ScareTale

This experience[s] happened to me when I was at home by myself. My parents and siblings had gone out of town for the day to visit family and to check on our second property that's about 2 hours away from our home. They wouldn't be back until about 11:00 that night. I was 16, home alone on a Friday n...

She Kept On Teaching by Sammy27

There is another story on here that originated out of my little Podunk town of Ware Shoals, but this one is a lot more recent. Our schools did some rearranging in 2014 and the tiny two story building next to our high school that had been the junior high for many years was transformed into our new di...

Dark Shadow In The Hall And Cat's Reaction by 8-bitDemigod

We've only had my cat, Luna, for about six months now ever since we found her as a kitten in the backyard. Due to the general erratic cat behavior and the adolescent need to act the fool it's difficult to tell if she notices anything out of the ordinary around the house. That is until this morning. ...

A Spirit That Perfectly Takes On The Image Of The Living? by devxxx

Long long long story short: There is a spirit that is mimicking me exactly. It's face is perfectly mimicked. It has no wonky eye, no misplaced eyelash, no incorrect coloration. It looks exactly like me. I have never seen it. My grandmother, father, and cousin have seen it. Here's my grandma's stor...

I Think I Have A Demonic Attachment by Gladden124

I think it all started when I was about 6 or 7 years old and it attached itself. Me and my friend were watching tv and I saw something white in my peripheral vision and when I looked, it was a small "ghost" boy. My friend saw it too and it ran into the other room. We looked everywhere but all the li...

The Church Cemetery by 8-bitDemigod

For the longest time whenever I and my best friend John would go out anywhere for extended periods of time we would have some kind of odd random occurrence. Two examples of this would be 1. While we were out for a walk a pickup truck went flying past us doing about 45 mph missing it's left front whe...

The Ghost Principal by Vicisspookedout

In 2013 I was in 7th grade, I was in the band for Ware Shoals Junior High. We had a winter concert coming up and one day in early December, my band director sent me and my friend Lee to a small room above the auditorium to grab a few extra stands and music books. The idea of doing that terrified me ...

The Devil's Place by SparksWife2018

If you're a resident of Spartanburg, SC, you know about Oakwood Cemetery. Or as locals in the area call it, "Hell's Gate". This beautiful area of resting souls was once a pauper's field according to local history over 100 years prior to its current manicured field of beautiful headstones. During the...

Demonic Bird by michelle97

During my freshman year of college in an all girl dorm, roommate and I lived in an interior room meaning there were no windows- so we kept a faint night light so we didn't kill ourselves if we went to the bathroom at night. Our beds were lofted with the desks underneath- we were high enough up that ...

Am I Losing My Mind? My History Of Disappearing Acts by Rosebudx

So, I am typing this on my phone so pardon me if there is any wonky formatting. My laptop has officially gone kapoot as I'm no longer able to charge it so this is really all I have at the moment. Right now, I'm particularly perplexed. Genuinely flabbergasted. Confused and kind of upset...? I kno...

Soldier Shadow Girl by Lince1307

Let me tell you first that I come from a family of "gifted" women and as such I've been able to see and/or feel spirits from an early age. This story in particular took place in Ft.

Basement Spirit? by Ceekat

Is This Evidence Of A Ghost? by BlitzTheCat

I've noticed some very weird stuff going on in my home, starting when I was ten. It's very possible for it to be paranormal related from what I've researched, but I still want to be sure, and if it is I want to know more about it. Before I start, I want to give some quick information. I live in a ru...

The Old Lighthouse by Manafon1

The following account took place in the late summer of 1982. This is a long story but I felt background information on the history of the location helps create a clearer picture. I wrote down details of these events the day after they occurred which has helped, over the years, to keep the incidents ...

Help. Hand Grabbing Leg by mayo_manno

First things first. I am not a strong believer in ghosts. Some strange things have happened to me in the past 180 days. To get to the point. At night around 3:00 in the morning something grabs my left foot/ankle and pulls me at least 6in down my bed. After that I do what a normal person would do...

The Master Bedroom by Dee-J

Date: Various. Circa 1998-1999 Before you read this, I just wanted to say that given the title of this entry, I hate for this to sound like some sort of cliche title of a horror movie. However, the title is indeed very fitting, and the story will speak for itself. My house has had a lot of pa...

Spirit Passing Through My Room by Dee-J

Date: circa Summer 2006 I cannot remember the exact date but all I know was that this encounter in particular was in 2006. One night I had turned the TV off and was trying to get some sleep.

This took place a few years back. There is a meat and 3 type restaurant in my home town that's known for the great food and wonderful staff. It is run out of a building that was an old elementary school many years ago by a small group of very religious women. They have gospel groups there to play on...

Closure From Dead Cousin by Jess_1997

About a year ago I came home to bad news from my mother. She explained to me that my cousin Danny died in an accident on his motorcycle late the night before.

I don't see ghosts, and I haven't been followed my whole life by one. But ever since I moved in with my dad and his wife things have gotten pretty weird.

My story is not about a particular incident. It is about things that have been going on in my house. I just moved here a month ago. I have heard cabinet doors slamming.

Boyfriend's Follower by cheesypuffeater

My boyfriend was never one to be jumpy about ghosts. He never overacted over anything like that. A simple guy, just being a young adult. Then one night he calls me, talking about him hearing strange noises at his friend's house. We laughed it off and thought nothing of it. Later on in the week it ha...

A Little Dose Of Reality by PriclessMike1974

Since I was young, as far back as I can remember anyways, I have always been interested in the paranormal.
