Abduction It Seems by CantunSEEit74

On April 15, 2023, I entered my Stick Indians story here on YGS. Within 3 weeks of it popping back into my mind I sent the story here. I really had no idea 2 visions were going to break loose from my memory in a little over a year. In my stick Indians story this happened in 1990 alone in my cabin. I...

Stick Indians? by CantunSEEit74

In 1987, I was looking for and purchased a 1+ acre lot for $3,000 off of an Indian Reservation in Mason County, Washington (30 minutes from my work). I was making payments as I lived there, and I paid the property off in 1989. I would go out to the property whenever I had time. It was a beautiful dr...

Man In A White Car by Servant

Man in a White Car There are times when all of us have passed through a gauntlet of trial and tribulation. We have become discouraged, broken-hearted, or not only disappointed in life but have peered beyond the precipice of despair to slip and fall into its depths... I am fortunate to have ha...

Carol And The Man With The Top Hat - My Daughter's Ghosts by Aros

It all began when my daughter was around 2 or 3. I had put her in her crib for a nap and told her I wasn't going to turn on the ceiling fan because it wasn't that warm in the room. The only way you can activate the fan is to pull the chain from the fan itself which is above most adult's heads, or th...

Floor Squeaker #2 by CantunSEEit

As usual, I just got home from working a 12-hour night shift. It's around 6:30 a.m. And my wife is just about to leave for work. We chat and she heads out the door. I take my boots and socks off - no better feeling after 12 hours of hustling on them. I must immediately try to calm myself down, showe...

I Just Saw A Full Apparition Ghost! by Aros

This morning I was walking upstairs and when I got to the top of the stairs I looked straight ahead and saw what I thought was my 15-year-old daughter walking into the bathroom. I almost said, "What are you doing up so early?" and when I approached the bathroom and peered in there was nobody there. ...

Floor Squeaker #1 by CantunSEEit

I had my first floor squeaker encounter early one morning, sitting on my living room couch while I was recovering from back surgery. I had staples in my low back, and laying down was painful with one of the staples already partially popping out. I had to sleep sitting straight up the first couple of...

Ghostly Hand Squeezes Mine As A Child by Aros

I have already posted two stories that occurred to me when I was an adult. This memory involves when I was a child, perhaps 4 years old or around there. Some of my earliest memories involve frightening imagery of shadow people moving about our house. I didn't know who or what they were, just that th...

Tucking Her In by CantunSEEit

It was the Christmas Holiday season, and one morning when I was just getting home from work and my wife was getting ready to leave for work, she told me that something was tucking her in very gently at night, and thought maybe it was a loved one that had passed. I was surprised and kind of forgot ab...

Astral Projection 2 Stories by Moonlitpath

Recently I've been very interested in astral projection. Taking all the precautions and extensive research etc. I have met my spirit guides, I'm very in tune with the paranormal. One night after work (I work swing shifts) it was about 4 or 5 am for some reason I think wow this is a great idea to t...

Doesn't Like Me Smoking by CantunSEEit

Same house only wrote NOVEMBER. Kind of knew this guy in the back of the neighborhood who would stop by rarely. Very loud talker always hacking and coughing mid 60s. If you sat with him sometimes he would slap his hand on the table and say LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, loudly. My wife would mimic hi...

No Eyes All Tongue by CantunSEEit

May 2013 I worked a 12 hour night shift 4 on 4 off at this time, it varied, at a high pace manufacturing company in Lacey WA. I usually slept on the couch in the living room, usually watch stock market or any paranormal channel to try and fall asleep. I always leave seat reclined at my head and have...

Young Man On Guard Rail by CantunSEEit

I had no paranormal encounters that stood out between the years of 1968 and 2010, until this encounter. December 2010, about two weeks before Christmas, was getting off work at 6pm, after working a 12-hour shift. I got on the I-5 freeway, heading south, towards the first Olympia City Center exit, do...

The Walker Ames House by divinemsjunebug

I've been a paranormal investigator since 2005. I started this because I've always been fascinated by the paranormal not because I had any experiences (that I can remember) as a child. So I was a bit skeptical of most people claiming to have ghostly encounters, although I do have a very open mind. ...

Edmonds Haunted Rental Home by becca4713

In 2007, our family moved into a small rental home in Edmonds, WA. It was in a 4-plex building, and we rented the upper right, top unit.

Demonic Entity Outside My Window by SylverioSanchez

In 2004 on October 31st I witnessed a very disturbing image that still haunts me even today now that I am 25 years old. I was 9 years of age at the time and on that day I spent the entire time at home with the whole family watching movies and eating chocolate candy. We never really celebrated Hallow...

Spitting Ghost? by Sarah509g

My name is Sarah. I'm 40 years old, it was about 7:45 am when this happened. I'm sitting in the bedroom alone messaging my friends on Facebook, my other half is at work, my older son took off for school, so it's just me and my 2 year old at home. He's asleep and is still asleep as I write this. Anyw...

I Think My Grandfather's Mad At Me by Dill

I'm not the type of person to ask for advice online, but at this point, I don't know where else to turn. I've been experiencing some pretty terrible things lately, and a friend recommended me this site, saying that the people were very helpful when he told of his own haunting. So I guess you can cal...

Generational Paranormal? by LightMight

I'm new to this site, and would like to share some of my recent experiences about my new home. Last May, my husband and I decided to purchase a home in the historical downtown area of the city we live in. Our home is a charming, 3 story (6 bedroom/3 bathroom) house, that is due to turn 100 years ...

Confirmation I See Dead People by ericam

First off, I'm so happy I found this site! This happened over 5 years ago when I worked at a Headshop in Tacoma. I worked there for several years and our regulars we became really close to. Tyler (fake name) used to come in once or twice a week. I noticed for the last two weeks he hasn't been in...

White Creature While On A Hike by yonatsume

I am not the kind of person that really believes in the type of thing where all beings that aren't of this world are evil. I feel like there is another side to things, where there are beings that live quietly and do not want anything to do with us. I like to think that not all of them are particular...

WWII Shipyard Worker? by BettinaMarie

For ten years I rented a tiny home in a neighborhood built to house workers of industrial shipyards. These houses pretty much all look alike. From my living room a double window looks out exactly over the cement porch steps. At some point I became aware, in certain afternoon light, of someone "comin...

Piano Asking To Be Played by BettinaMarie

I have never claimed any psychic abilities, but I am of an opinion that we as a species just rarely use or rely on these senses in our safe, convenient, mechanical modern environments. Additionally, I have trusted friends who can straight-up see spirits. I never have seen a ghost with my eyes and th...

Unnatural Sound On Mt. St. Helen's by BettinaMarie

What happened in this story scared the bejeezies out of me, and seven years later I am getting creepy goosebumps trying to write it. Probably, it won't seem scary to readers. For us, it was very unnatural and frightening. If anyone could explain this or has experienced it, I would be grateful for yo...

The Dark Orb And The Tall Shadow Man by chelscp11

In April 2013, I was pregnant and about to have a baby. My husband had 2 kids from a previous marriage and we decided we needed a bigger home. We found an older home for rent that was in our price range and had enough bedrooms for everyone. The house had a creepy vibe to it. It was an older house...

Haunted Kitchen Sink by Smitty16

So, I wanted to share this experience from when I was around 7 years old. It's not a very eventful story, but it is still my experience. I used to be friends with this girl, we're going to call her Kristen just for the sake of privacy, and because I am not close with her anymore. Kristen and I ...

Watchers Next To My Bed by Justjess

This story takes place in Sumner, Washington in the year of 2001. I was only fifteen at the time that I experienced my first real and close up encounter with the shadow people.

Bathroom Light Cycling by DandK

One night about three years ago, I woke up to find myself alone in my bedroom with the master bathroom's light very slowly cycling on and off. This had never happened before. My husband had stayed up late to read in the living room so as not to disturb my sleeping. I went into the bathroom and t...

The Shadow Man Is Back 2 by Emilio

So it's been about a year since I last posted. To give a quick background summary of what has happened in my past posts: When I was a child a shadow figure has been stalking me and causing me to be very angry and violent as well as from the more recent post has caused me to hate more and more eve...

Missing Cross: Washing Machine by macqdor2

The events of this particular day will always be remembered because it was the weekend Captain America the Winter Soldier came out. I believe it was the first weekend of April 2014. A month prior to this movie premier, my cousin from Dallas came to visit, an elementary school teacher in a Dallas...

Mischevious Spirit by Sammi575

For most of these events, I hadn't even been aware of what was happening until after I found out why it happened. My friends and I had gone bowling (let's call them Pink, Red, White, Blue, and Purple) for Purple's birthday. After all our fun and games, a few days later Blue messages me regarding her...

A Rusty Wheel Brought Dark Thoughts by jaderae

This story is about very recent events at my home. I recently submitted a story on behalf of my husband called "The Cadejo". Yesterday, August 24, I was updating him on what the comments on the story were, and stated that people were interested if he had more stories. He confirmed that he had no ...

The Spencer's Gifts Light by The-Cool-Bus

I've had paranormal experiences throughout my whole life, but this one really stands out for me. If you have ever been to the mall and you've gone to that store Spencer's, at the back of the store they have all the crazy lights and lava lamps. Well I happened to buy this lightning-plasma lamp th...

Ghost Hunt by teriland1

About 10 years ago I befriended a lovely woman, that I shall call Jade. Jade, like me was quite interested in the paranormal. Our reasons were different though as she, having lost a son was curious in life after death. I, having felt ghosts my whole life, wanted to hone my craft more. Jade had just ...

The Little Boy In The Corner by Sluge

This whole story took place when I was about one year old, so of course I can't remember this, but my mom told me this story about when my older sister (about three at the time) saw something unusual. My mom was getting ready for bed when she heard my sister Stephany yell. Mom ran into Stephany's...

The Ghost That Follows by Teresababy

I guess it started when I was 4 years old, with a bad fever and very very sick, my mother sais I popped up straight and stared at the end of my bed and asked who is that lady on my bed? Since then I have always felt a presence my entire life, I know now, I am never alone, not ever. My entire life...

The Downstairs by stepharosem

I first off want to say that all of these incidents are 100% real, and not exaggerated at all. I've lived in the same house since I was around 4 or 5 and I am now 19. Up until about a year and a half ago my room was upstairs with the rest of my family. Our downstairs is a lot bigger and there is...

Nature Spirit? Elemental? by teriland1

Last year my friend "S" lived briefly in her ex-husband "C's" "pool cottage". She was in between apartments and he had taken over a large piece of property with extra room for her too.

The Red Baron by Mace

Last fall my mom and stepdad offered to let me move into their new house, rent free, while I saved some money before moving to Europe. Since it was a beautiful Indian summer, I took the opportunity to do some garage selling to look for furniture for my new room. I saw a small garage sale and d...

Two And A Half Crazy Months by GuessWhosHereToHauntYou

Before I tell you my story, you should probably know a few things about me. First of all, I'm fourteen years old and I have two younger sisters. Second of all, I don't know if these events are the evidence of a real haunting or just purely coincidental. It was Christmas Eve, and I was fast asleep...

The Imaginary Friend by annalinnmurphy

When I was really young my parents, my infant brother, and I all lived in a house in Clarkston, Washington. This house was very old and bigger than any of the other houses we had lived in up to this point. At first the house seemed normal with no weird sightings or anything like that, but then ...

Ghost In Love With My Boyfriend? by Triskaideka

I'm still rather on the fence whether or not I believe in ghosts. But I have had some eerie experiences in my life, mainly dream-related. The summer after I first moved out of my parents' house, I had a boyfriend who lived with his mother out in the countryside. We had dozens of parties out there...

Crouched Under The Desk by Seek

I'm not real sure what my age was, I'm guessing I was about 4 years old. I lived in the house I grew up in, my parents still live there. I really don't think it was haunted, as I have had an experience or two in a lot of the houses I've lived in. I'm no medium, I'm not super in touch with the supern...

Am I Crazy? Or Is It Real? by Haunting_Marie13

I'm Marie. I don't exactly know when this started happening. A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes. I'm not sure if this has anything do with it or not. Sometimes I don't sleep at night. But in the morning I feel really weird. My head is foggy and I can't think. I see someone coming to...

My Legs Lifted by Ajs1199

Without going into all of the things that have happened to me, the one I think of every night is this. I was about 7 or 8 years old. I couldn't fall asleep. I have no clue what time it was. It must have been past midnight. My legs lifted. I stared at my legs. Thinking I can't be seeing this. I p...

Im Not Sure What All Of This Means by Lani12

So, I posted a story before about my experiences in Virginia. And I had moved from there to Washington. Well, when we moved into our house, everything was fine and I wasn't having any paranormal activities going on, until a few months before I moved out. It started as shadows around the house, feeli...

All In My Mind? by SnazzyPenguin

To start with a little background. I would like to say I have always been a strong believer in life after death and as such I have always been interested in the paranormal. I constantly read stories on this site as well as others. I also look up videos and homes/establishments that are claimed to be...

Unexplained White Vapor Seen By 2 People by mikhill

On Saturday Feb. 1 around 6pm, just around dusk, my wife and I were sitting on the couch watching television. Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a white mist or smoke behind a Queen Anne chair beside our fireplace and in front of a window to my left. As I focused i...

I Felt A Hand Yanking My Hair by cmarie31

I was lying down in bed wide awake. I could not sleep at all because I was depressed. I have always had long, thick hair, and I was lying on my left side with my hair flowing down my back behind me. At that particular time I was sleeping in my dad's bed and he slept downstairs because my bed was bro...
