Why I Refuse To Sleep In The Basement by LonerGirl

My basement has always given me a feeling of fright, so sleeping down there was never an option for me until there was no other option. For context, I always felt watched when down there, and there was always an intense feeling of not being alone despite knowing no one else was with you. Well, t...

Those Eyes Sent Fear Coursing Through My Veins by LonerGirl

This is my first story on this website, so sorry if it's bad. Also, I don't remember everything from that night. I only vividly remember the important things from that night. This happened when I was 5 or 6, and I am 14 now. This is about my brother and I. This is a true story by the way. I also apo...

The Wind Spoke by Awoken

First, I guess I want to draw attention to the fact that, like so many here, my life seems to have been peppered with the sort of nexus of strange events and experiences that are regarded as outside the "norm." I actually have a theory about that, but I suppose that can wait. Second, I don't beli...

Christmas At Dad's by Junglecat

My dad is 80 years old. He doesn't live in his house, but instead lives with his girlfriend in a one story house approximately 3 miles from his. When I visit at Christmas, I normally stay at his house because his girlfriend's dog is unnecessarily fearful of my big shepherd. This story takes place be...

Most Haunted Wisconsin? by gabriellesnotes

Alright, so I am not sure where to start so I will start with a little background on my story. This was in 2012, in Rothschild Wisconsin, I had found out that the original "idea" for the movie poltergeist was based on a house a block over from mine. It explained a lot of phenomenon that happened...

The Fisher Farm by MississippiPearl

When I was about four-years old we moved into a big old house on a retired farm near Elk Mound, WI (USA). We called it the Fisher Farm, since that was the name of the landlord. Likely because I was so small, the house seemed gigantic. It was a two-story home with a full attic and basement, a nice su...

Through The Veil by Hollyhock

Behind my grandma's house, there is a woods with a creek. Usually, it dries up in the summer. Last summer, I went to go look at it. I didn't go into the woods too far, just slightly off the path. About 5 minutes. When I was flipping over rocks, I heard some branches breaking and hid behind a fall...

Is It Following Me? by Grizzman44

So when I was about thirteen years old, my friend and I had this immense fascination with the paranormal. He had a few spots on his parents vast property in Mineral Point that were eerie themselves before we ever even stumbled upon the thought that there may be spirits there. One night we were w...

The Highway Q Phantom by savannahbelle029

This story dates back a couple of years, at least three years back by this point but I remember the events clear as day. It was during spring break, so somewhere around mid-March. I had driven a friend back to their house in Waukesha and had taken Highway 164 north to where it intersected with Highw...

Creepy Memories From My Childhood by Illuminati322

This is not a singular story but a collection of incidents that occurred in my parent's house, during my childhood. I present them like this because each is too short and fleeting to be worth posting individually. So, here we go... I grew up in an older home with a creepy backstory: it had belon...

A Very Rude Awakening by TommySnow59

I work for a large contracting company, and I travel all over the US and Canada for work. I spend more than 9 months a year on the road, staying in various hotels. Since I pay all of my lodging costs out of my own pocket, I try and find places that offer a weekly or monthly rate, which is usuall...

I Was About To Say Shut Up by goteamgo5

The only paranormal experiences I've ever had have been when I was around thirteen. I have read that girls going through puberty tend to be more susceptible to the supernatural, particularly poltergeist activity. Sure seems true in my case. I am twenty eight now but I still think about what happened...

Punchies by DongMaster

Location: Wisconsin Year: 1995 My first step father was a retired drill sargent when he met my Mother. After, he was a self employed contractor, apperently normal work wasn't good enough for him. Often my step brothers and I were dragged along to help because it was cheaper then paying other...

Audible Laugh by KVanPay

So, I'm now 20 years old and am currently living with my parents in the house I grew up in since I was about 5. There was supposedly an old man who died of a heart attack in the crawl space.

Was This My Friend? by stacym1978

In April 2005 one of my best friends died in a drunk driving accident. It had been two weeks since I talked to him last and have always felt like I didn't get closure or the chance to tell him I love him one more time. His mother always used to say he was in love with me. I always used to feel bad b...

Mr Hyde In The Snow by Illuminati322

This is Illuminati322, who has posted on here in the past. The following experience did not occur to me but to my father, during his childhood in Marinette, WI, in the 1960's. It was in the mid-60's, at night time. He was roughly 7-8 years old, and was awake and alone in the living room of his f...

Who Is In My Room by sw05

I have posted on this site before an overview of some of the unexplained happenings that go on in my home. However, I'm realizing that if I tried to fit everything that's happened into one post, you'd all be here a while. Therefore, I'll just give a brief overview of my home's history and the occurr...

Sweet Aromas At Night by Argette

I live in a house that is 118 years old. It has had 6-7 owners. The master bedroom, which was added 40 years ago, is over the kitchen. Previously, this space was a lumber room or attic. Every so often - probably at least a half dozen times a year - I wake up to the aroma of baking or cooking. It ...

A 40-year Haunting And An Attack by SanguineConscripte

In the comments of a previous story that I posted about an entity bothering me while on a religious retreat, several readers voiced their concern that I was involved in a cult and that this "thing" may be trying to warn me. While I don't know quite what to make of the group, I believe that this enti...

The Roger Williams Inn by SanguineConscripte

About a month ago, my boyfriend and I went on a retreat in Green Lake, WI. We stayed on the grounds of a conference center, thankfully not in the building my experience happened in. I should explain that this was a religious event and that I have more than a few qualms about posting this here. M...

Never In The Dark Again by SwiftThaGhost

This story happened in my apartment two years ago. Once I saw of this site and everyone was sharing their paranormal experiences, I figured I'd share mine too so here it is. Two years ago, in my apartment in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (which is my hometown), I had just got done working a very exhaustin...

Strange Occurrences At My Parents' House by SanguineConscripte

From the age of about four until I left for college, I lived with my parents in a house surrounded by woods. It wasn't that far back from the road, but just far enough that it was considered to be "in the woods". That alone was kind of creepy, but at least it was explainable. I should mention that m...

Truly Something Under My Bed by killer9755

Alright so I vividly remember when I was about 10-12 years old, paranormal activity happening to me right before I would go to sleep at night. This did not happen just once but at least 3 or 4 times that I can remember between these ages. It would all start out right after I had finished reading ...

My Grandpa At The Funeral Home by hollybvb10612

I'm 16 years old. First experience was when my grandpa died in 2006. I was about 9 when I had to go to his funeral. All my life I was afraid of my grandpa because of his deep voice. He would come over and I would hide. I was his first girl grandchild blood related from my dad. I felt really bad ...

Living With The Dead by sw05

First of all, I'm sorry that this will be a long post, but so many unexplainable things have happened in the past few years. You should know that I was an open-minded skeptic before any of this, and I've tried to find a rational explanation for every single one of these events and these are the ones...

My Incubus Experience by Chels8888

Let me state first before anything else that this story is not to get attention. I see stories of incubus encounters in many places, and I see many people think of them very negatively. I am here to share my own story that isn't negative, but rather very positive. It started a little less than a ...

My Freaky Yet Cool Gift by Sarah92

Many people don't understand me at all. The thought of even posting this makes me somewhat go crazy, but I need to know if I'm alone or not. There have been times in my life where things have happened. Maybe it's just because I want to be close to the ones I've lost, but it seems to be way more than...

Ghosts In My Life by sherryonbroadstreet

Currently I live in Menasha, Wisconsin, in a house built in 1863. As I was driving by and saw a For Sale sign, I felt drawn to the house. I adore old things, cars, houses, furniture and, the older I get, the more I like them. Back to the house. I went home and told my husband he must come with me...

The Man In The Doorway by SILENCEDxHELL

One day I was at my father's house (which is creepy as hell). And it was in the summer (last summer to be right) around 6:00 at night, it was still light out but the sun was setting.

Scares With A Little Girl by LexiBlue

I was 13 when my parents finally told me what happened when I was little. I had recently thought that maybe our house, or me was being haunted. This is my story. I'd been a little girl about maybe a couple of months old. My dad and his friend Brad had been home with me while my mom was out. My mo...

Unbearable Ringing In My Ears by sierracheree

Last night I was having trouble falling asleep I was so tired. I tried closing my eyes over and over again but every time I kept hearing this unbearable ringing in my ears. When I opened my eyes it would stop. In my head, it was like I was having a conversation with myself and I had said to myself "...

While Doing Laundry by themiss

It's been awhile since I've posted an experience on here, mainly because I haven't really had anything major happen, just a few things here and there until about two months ago I had a strange thing happen. I'm usually not home during the day and on this particular day decided to stop home and p...

I Can See You Now, But You Were Never There Before by epic_fail

Last night was...unusual. To say the very least, that is. I felt uncomfortable in my room for the first time in a very long time, and I wanted snickers in there with me like she was the night before last. She slept pretty soundly. After that, it was a hag attack, nothing unusual about it, except I ...

Is Sally A Demon Or Little Girl? by GhostMagnetMegan

This story may be sound completely crazy and made up. But, I swear to you it is NOT! I had 3 friends stay the night. I am the only one who had a strong belief in ghosts out of the 4 of us. I had plenty of experiences before this night. And have many since, and will probably have more. But anyways,...

The Story Of Him by SpiritKid

I first want to say, I believe in the paranormal but I am not spirtual whatsoever, so no offense but no prayers for me. Okay, so the first part of my story is basically everything. My entire life I have had these incidents since I was born. But the Man. He is my worst nightmare. He stalked me co...

Weird Workplaces by Argette

The building I work in is a boring, utilitarian one-story building located on a highway as you turn to leave our town. The neighborhood it is located in was once residential, with homes built in the late 19th-early 20th centuries. Most are long gone. The building, about 50 years old, just feels f...

My story begins around 1987. I was a somewhat normal 11 year old boy up until that point. My parents were separated and it was a rough time for us.

Seeing George And Last Goodbye by gemini414

I would say I've only had 2 paranormal experiences in my life time. The first was with a ghost my family liked to call George.

My Weird Dream by maiv

Do you believe weird dreams? In my culture (Hmong) we believe that when you have weird dreams, they might be a sign of something good or bad, One of the beliefs that we believe in is if you are a parent and dream that your teeth is falling out, that means it's a bad sign you should be careful and wa...

Lillian - The First Encounter by Twila

This is what I believe to be the very first encounter with a ghost child, who I've come to call Lillian. Early August of 2009, during my summer vacation, I sat in the living room chatting with a friend online. The room was pitch-black; all of the lights were out, as it was about 2:00 AM. My fathe...

Strolling Shadow by epic_fail

This is going to be a rather short story, because there's just not that much to tell. It would have been better, but with the 1500 character minimum I had no choice but to add a bunch of filler. It occurred about a month and a half ago at one in the morning. I was driving back home from my frien...

Young Old Hag by jesuis88

This happened to me a few years ago when I was a senior in high school. My family still lives in this house, which is no more than a few decades old and in good part of your average Midwest city.

It all started when we were still dating. He...
