Rental Ghost by shelbyloree

I was in college in Arizona, and my family had just moved to California for my dad's work. He moved us around every few years, but I was stubborn and stayed in Arizona to finish my education. The paranormal was talked about freely in our family, it wasn't really a big deal. Getting off the plane ...

My Grandpa's Last Days by LosAngelesGirl

Just a note, this story isn't about ghosts, but more of supernatural thing I would say. I don't really have a name for it, since I do not belong to a religion. I kind of consider this as a goodbye, sort of. Before November of 2014 I did not know how it felt to lose someone in your life that meant...

What My Brother Saw by StrangeThings

My family and I moved into a suburban, fairly new house in the summer of 2009. Ever since we moved in, we had many experiences, one of which I will tell in this story. Before I begin, I feel it is appropriate to describe the layout of the house. It was a 3 bedroom, two story house. As soon as yo...

Something I Experienced A While Ago by Qu33n_of_Shadow

So when I was about 8 or 9 years old I lived with my grandparents, my dad, and my sisters in a small house in California.

An Old Friend Is In My Hallway by Kya1994

This happened just yesterday. Rook suggested me to do a ritual, to cleanse and shield my house and what not, to see if he is capable of answering my questions without any risks. I followed his instructions, every closet I could reach was cracked, and so were the windows. I definitely felt someth...

Black Orchid by Kya1994

"Strange Goings On In Our Home" by Miracles reminds of another ghost story of mine, it included a cat sometimes. This was years ago when I was still dealing with love issues from my first love, and I think this was when we had eight people under our roof. It was really dark (and I think before t...

Yucaipa: Haunted House by Kya1994

There wasn't much going on at first at Yucaipa, other than constantly feeling watched when its bed time and after.

New House Horror by GypsysHeart

The Lady In The Rocking Chair by Venni

I was about 7-8 years old. Me and my family had just moved to Highland Park, California. From the first time I set foot into that apartment I felt strange, as if tho someone was watching me.

In 2006, my parents rented a house near the high school I was going to attend. Luckily, a friend of theirs knew someone renting out space. We were renting the front half of the house, and an old couple (landlord's parents) lived in the back half of the house. When you enter through the front doo...

Strange Happenings At New Home by augiegvc

The condo we lived in was sold so in 2012 we moved into a really nice apartment located in the same city. While living there we had many strange happenings, many that couldn't be explained.

On Sunday, December 6 2009, my daughters and I accompanied my mother and my two brothers to San Bernardino's Calico Ghost Town.

The Closet Door Part 2 by Butterfly_Kisses

A couple of years ago I posted a story of some experiences that happened to me. This is an extension of those experiences while living in that same house.

I Will Never Forget This Experience by chayito

My family and I moved into this house. It was nice for a while until I felt like I was being watched. My brother and I would always watch the show Ghost Hunters. I was just so fascinated with it.

Shabby Cheap Motels With Dirty Mirrors by 50shadesofnico

I still do not know if what I saw was real or not, but I do know I will never forget it. I have never had any encounters with the supernatural before this event, nor did I afterwards. It was in Modesto California, I was eight years old and it was at night time that me and my mother decided to sta...

The Sitting Shadow Man by glowing_turtle

My first encounter was when I was about nine. My mom and dad were going to an event of some sort, they never told us (my brother and I) what it was. But they did say they would be out late and that we were going to stay at my grandparents' place. After they dropped us off, we played with some toy...

Everyone's Afraid Of The 2nd Floor by ghostbeliever94

When I was 12 I moved to a church home called the ranch with my mom. Before all this happened I never believed in ghosts, spirits, or even demons, but now at the age of 20 I believe we're not alone.

On Hardwood Floor by ceciline

I've moved into this house 3 months ago. My family and me all like it here. And of course first thing my mum asks is, "Do you think it's haunted?" Since I was a little girl, I've been seeing things I couldn't explain. I don't see them often, but I can say that I'm used to them by now. I'm now 21 and...

Am I Really Sleeping? by rgtoke

My name is Dennis and I have experienced a few paranormal things in my life. This story is just one of the few that I have and hope to share more in the future.

Transparent Creature Or Creatures by hotsauce

Early one morning between 2 am and 3 am, my dogs woke me. I let them outside and they took off running across the patio and down the slope behind my house. Normally they walk out. At that moment, the bending and swaying of two 7' blue spruce trees 30' from me caught my attention. I could see mov...

Why Is Money Dissapearing? by Rawrimpsykhotik

So in the past year my mom has been telling me that money that she guards is missing, it first started with a sum of $100 and since my uncle was visiting we blamed him because he slept in the room that had the money (which is my parents). A few months later $300 went missing, and my mom always let's...

Benicia Ii: Cloud Of Whispers Plus Past Errors by nadinucca

As I mentioned in my previous Benicia story, in August of 2011 I went on a ghost walk and encountered a really hostile entity. I then signed up for a paranormal chat and mini ghost hunt with one of the ghost walk guides, Donna. As usual with these things, I'm a trueborn skeptic. I wasn't expectin...

I used to live in a small town in Big Bear Lake California. It's in the woods and a lot of things happen there that people do not see or know about. I'm 29 years old now but I have to share this experience I had numerous times while I lived there. My friend's house was creepy as is but what happe...

Hollenbeck Park Ghost by sabrina_25

A little history. When my dad was young I'm not sure exactly what age I'm guessing about 8 or 9, he would be lying in bed ready to go to sleep and from any dark, shadowy corner a woman dressed in all black with a veil over her head would float over next to him kneel and whisper in his ear. He never...

My Haunted Childhood Home - Part 1 by Udon555

I never considered my parent's house to be haunted until I was much older. Even though I encountered strange events, I didn't know what a ghost was and could not explain it as a child. My first encounter with the paranormal that I can recall was when I was around 6 or 7. At the time I liked slee...

2 Glowing Orbs by Wildstar

My sophomore year of college near the end I was lying in bed with the guy I loved. He was asleep, and I was lying next to him holding him feeling peaceful and near snooze. There was a lot of love in the room, that I clearly remember - it felt better than usual. A round light about a foot in diameter...

Experiences Of A Prison Nurse by OceanBlueRN

For a while I worked as an RN at a California prison. I was just so happy to be able to find a nursing position after months of searching for a job; I took the job without thinking. It's quite an adjustment because you're basically locked in a facility full of society\'s worst. But I learned the dif...

The Crying Lady by Wendya2003

I'm new to sharing my stories here; however, I have read many of your experiences. I have had many encounters with the paranormal but what happened recently has me a bit uneasy.

Was I Saved By A Ghost Or Guardian Angel? by Kelso_19

I normally don't get up to early, but there was a huge thunderstorm going on around 3a. M in the morning. It sounded like there was a war going on outside. The thunder pounded against my walls and the lighting lit up my room enough for me to see everything without any trouble. So since I was awake, ...

A Visit From Grandpa by Cman710

In a few of my other encounters, I have talked about my Grandpa that I think may have visited me before in my old house (either that or an older man, I never was entirely sure). What I'd regretted to share was I had been visited by him in another location, and that I was not the only one. And in the...

The Little Girl In White. by cc_dylan

(I didn't realize how long this was going to be. Sorry if it's too long to read, I understand. I'm a writer, so I tend to get carried away with all the details, even the boring ones. But this is all very real and I had to let it out.) I've never truly believed in ghosts or spirits until recently...

A Ghost On The Cliff? by Chocolat

I grew up in the west coast and would often go to the beaches and such off of Highway 1, getting increasingly often as I grew into my teen years. I took a break from going there between the ages of 10 to 15, seeing a lack of need to go there. But I started going there right after I turned 15, to go ...

One Weekend In A Haunted Hotel by Cman710

When I talk to others about ghost stories, it's usually the apparitions they see that scare them the most, or stick with them. So it's ultimately ironic to me that the one experience that truly terrified me, and ultimately has stuck with me the most was an encounter with a spirit I did not see, and ...

I Can't Explain Why by dino123456

White Glowing Eyes And Something Whispered My Name by DennisSt-V

I have had another experience around 3am two nights ago. I was laying down watching TV in my room when all of a sudden my door slowly closes about halfway when there was no wind.

Help Me Please by DennisSt-V

Last night I was watching TV around 3:00 am when I hear an argument going on in my bedroom (everyone was asleep). I looked around my house for every possible thing I could that would make that noise, (radio, TV, phone) and came up with nothing. A few weeks ago I almost died in a car crash, so I am t...

How Do I Get Rid Of Black Magic That's Been Done On My Body? by Anon20

I've been hearing noises in my ears, like there's something inside my body. I've felt parts of my body twitch and am actually hearing voices in my ears that disagree with me.

Toy Room by SkitZoe

My family and I use to live in a two story house. The whole neighborhood, full of new homes, use to be acres and acres of peach orchards.

Shortly after my wife and I were married, I got reassigned to Mather Air Force Base in Rancho Cordova, California (the base has since closed and is now used by the local community).
