The Evil That Uncle Jake Raised by Miracles51031

I feel like I should apologize for jumping all over the place in this story. So, I'm sorry, but please bear with me. In May of 1978, two months before my 13th birthday, my parents bought the home they currently live in. Before I share my experiences, you probably need some information about my p...

Blank Tv Screen, Staring: Josh by MillieGhost

My friend Marie dated this guy Josh when we were in eighth grade. At first she wanted to break it off, but she stuck it out anyway. After awhile, she started to fall for him. One night, I was at her house staying the weekend. We went to bed after giggling and talking like most middle school girl...

Two Wise Guy Ghosts, With Evp by EVPResearcher

Hey guys it has been a while since I have put up a story with EVPs. I have not been abducted by aliens, just busy. Anyhow, here is the background information. I have conducted several EVP sessions at a local home where the home owners are a little afraid of their house. They moved in probably a ...

Old Man's Cave by AppleSauce27

This is just a short story of something that happened last weekend, when Rob (husband) and I went to Hocking Hills State Park in SE Ohio. We decided (translates to Rob decided) to go to Hocking Hills for the day last Saturday Sept 22nd, and do some hiking and sight seeing. I haven't been hiking in f...

Something Black Was There by cincinnati24

I was up late one night in early August of this year. It was around one in the morning and I was just relaxing and watching TV. I live a few mile away from a small airport and I heard a low flying plane so, since there wasn't anything else going on, I looked out the window at it. It was so low that ...

Confused by laurengeorge

My name is Lauren and I want to start off with a little background. The house that I live in used to be my grandparent's house. (They are still alive and live down the road now). When I used to stay here when I was little I would not have any paranormal experiences. Ever since I have moved here with...

A Really Bad Trip by alandhopewell

This MAY have been a ghost story. All I can say for sure is that we were not alone out in the woods that night. This was the summer of '82, and it was the usual crew for camping then: Dave, Fernando, Frankie, and myself. We'd hiked to our usual campsite, had gotten there early, before 3:00, and w...

Toddler Sees Things That Frighten Him by mama2lucasriley

My son is almost 3 years old. About 2 months ago he started screaming off and on during bedtime saying that he sees "birdies". At first we thought this was a ploy to stay awake longer but the way he cried definitely had a "terrified" tone to it-not just a pretend cry. Sometimes it will happen before...

Finding Out Jakob Lives Here Too by AliceRenee

My story starts when my mom, her boyfriend, and I moved into our new house. We live in a very small town in Ohio that has been around since the late 1800's. Most of the houses in this town are older homes and each has their own history. This house used to be a bunk house for miners along with every ...

A Cry For Help? by SoullessMuffinz

This is the story of the little boy that I mentioned in my last story. For years, I have gone without any real, solid encounters until this incident. I've seen things fly by me out of the corner of my eyes. I've had pictures of Jesus and crosses in my old room fly across the room and break while I w...

The Shadow: My Worst Experience by SoullessMuffinz

When I was 11 years old, my family moved into a 30 year old house in the countryside. From the start, I constantly felt like I was being watched. I was always left alone in the house because my parents were always working and my sister was always at volleyball practice, but I have never felt alone f...

Grandmother's Voice by lioncat97

My story takes place several years ago when I was about 7 years old. It happened in Akron, Ohio. I had gone there with my father, mother, and 2 of my brothers to a hospital because my aunt had called my father on the phone and told him that my grandmother was in the hospital and in bad condition. My...

A Shady Character by alandhopewell

August, 1991. I'm staying with Dave, Buddi, and Dave's mother at their home in Avon Lake, a little town about twelve miles east of Lorain. I'd been evicted from 1444 Broadway for nonpayment, which I didn't pay because the new owner wanted to (A) raise the rent, (B) tack on utilities, but (C) didn't ...

My Mom's House 2 by zzsgranny

As most of you know by now, I and my son JR recently went on vacation to Ohio. Per usual, we stayed with my Mom. Normally when I visit her by myself I sleep in the spare room downstairs; however, due to my step-dad's recent chemo treatments, she thought it was better that we stayed upstairs in the a...

Ghost Hunting With Loonies 2 by clever210

On May 24, 2012, my husband Mark and I met up with a group of friends (some I met on this site) at the Mansfield Reformatory for an overnight private ghost hunt. First, we were given a tour of the building along with historical information about it. After that, the lights were turned out and we ...

Where Did They Go? by alandhopewell

This story is one of those stories that, had someone told it to me, I'd probably figure they were having me on. If you decide that, I can't stop you. However, this story, as with all my other stories, is true. It was the summer of '82, and some of my friends and I were camping in the same general...

My Son Saw Johnny In The Hole In The Wall 2 by Cincinnatian

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm back with another story, but same issue if you will. Last year I posted a story about my son (Kyren) who pretty much let me know there was a ghost in my apartment. Well, I believe this ghost has followed us. To recap on the first encounter, my son saw a ghost in our kitchen...

That's A Lot Of Ribbon by AppleSauce27

Judy The Doll by jo5812

I've never been a believer in ghosts but recent incidents have led me to this website where I hope I will entice you to answer my questions regarding a startling paranormal phenomenon occurring in the Daily household. My name is Jofranka Jaelle Daily and am married to my husband Jurg. He is Russi...

My Very Unique Family by vsecret82

This is my first time submitting anything on here. I'm 29 and a single mother of five. I am a sensitive but not one that practices really. My ability came from out of nowhere. I always had a strong interest in the paranormal and had my first taste of it when I was 12 (another submission I will d...

Between 11pm And 3am 2 by NightFear21

As some of you know, we live in a rural area of Ohio called Hopedale. Here is the back story on our haunting that has been going on since November of 2011, for those that don't know. We neighbor a funeral home, which is also our landlord. They own our house, and the funeral home. The house we're ren...

I'm A Better Kicker Than You by AppleSauce27

Last night Rob (my husband) and I were cleaning out the office, in preparation for painting the walls. We moved out everything from the closet, the desk and the shelves, then started the process of disassembling the shelves and his dad's desk so we could get them out the door. There were TONS of pap...

Frightful Appearance by drakoniss

All names have been avoided to protect the identities of those I love, and wish to avoid causing them any more stress then they already have to deal with. I am going to begin with some background information. January 2009, I was at my concert choir practice on a Saturday morning when I found out ...

The Restless Room by alandhopewell

By the spring of 1991, I'd pretty much gotten used to the fact that 1444 Broadway had some problems, to put it mildly...noises, lights, objects being moved or acting strangely were everyday things by then, and were generally more of a nuisance than a terror. The manifestations in the bathroom were j...

No One Can Help Me by alandhopewell

Back about the summer of '88, I'd walked up to an all-night gas station to buy some smokes-it was about half-past midnight. The station was about a half mile from my apartment, but the night was pleasant, and I didn't mind the walk. I strolled north down Reid Avenue, waving as a passing car honked a...

As A Child, Could I Have Had Help From A Spirit? by Kuhlmad

When I was less than 2 years old I gave my parents and family a heart attack. My mother and father had laid me down for bed like any given normal night. We lived in a first story apartment at the time, and I can't remember it at all, so I can't really give a layout to it. Well after everyone had ...

A Ghost Tail by FallenAngel13

My story may not be scary, But to me it is... Ever since I was little (As far as I can remember), there has been something following me. The first time I ever saw it I was 3. I was in bed and for some reason woke up. I looked at the end of my bed and saw a white cat tail going under my bed. (We d...

Floating Face, A New Lesson by Tempe_Toxic

Slipping into sadness more and more. It's what the pre teens brought me. Not different from any other children my age. I had a lot of questions and had no answers. The last year had provided me two exorcisms preformed on me. My mother couldn't afford to be supportive anymore. After all she got an ex...

The Dark Side by Tempe_Toxic

You don't have to be a medium, or psychic, or whatever the hell I am to see or hear the dead. My mother who was once like me but found a loop whole in it still on occasion can sense the evil. How many times has the hair stood on the back of your neck to the very tip? Goosebumps consumed the skin on ...

Magic 8 Ball by Tempe_Toxic

This story is one of the few that I will be telling you were a majority of the activity did not happen to me. However, it is a landmark in the progression of my life, which is why I feel it is important. It started after my parents joined a new church. They people in the church were odd people. The ...

Great Grandfather by Tempe_Toxic

Ten years old, ten and I had never once lost someone close to me. But every day of my life I faced spirits of those who were lost by someone else. It made me sad for these people. It also personally fascinated me. These poor people who the very last time they would see there loved ones would be at t...

Experience At Findley Park by alandhopewell

A conversation with a relative reminded me of this unsettling event... Back in the summer of '88, my cousin Pat and I were out cruising around on a late Saturday afternoon. We'd both gotten paid, and were just enjoying the day. We were getting close to Elyria, a neighboring town, and we decide...

Halloween Pranksters by Nysa

This story begins when I was a child, probably about 7 years old. My mom & aunts threw a huge Halloween party for all the kids in the family, I think there were 16 of us at the time, ranging in age from probably 5 to 13. It was awesome but the coolest part came about the time it just got really dark...

The Bank Man by Tempe_Toxic

(Notice: All information in this story was gathered from The Madison Historical Society. I requested information from their research group so I could be as accurate as possible. Certain details have been lost i.e. Exact year, and name of the victim. I did my best to get as much information as I coul...

The Dirty White Dress by Tempe_Toxic

As a child it is expected of us to draw pictures of everything we see. For example most children draw their families, pets, friends, cars, flowers. My favorites were rainbows, mermaids, and suns. The last time you read of my life I told you of when I was three years old and living in a funeral home ...

Being Watched At Night by clever210

This is the first experience that I had with seeing something in my room at night. I am positive that I was completely awake and not in any type of a dream like state. This happened when I was 16 years old, and back then I was a VERY sound sleeper. Nothing would wake me up. As an example of this, th...

Protective Spirit? by Nysa

In my previous story I mentioned that my daughter spooked me when she was about 8 years old by telling me she was having nightmares about things that sounded a lot like things I had been seeing that I suspected were some kind of apparitions. I empowered a dream catcher to keep things away from her a...

Seeing Creepy Things At Night by clever210

Ever since I was in college, I have been seeing strange and sometimes creepy things at night when I am in bed. It's not sleep paralysis, because I am able to move around. Some might call them hypnagogic hallucinations (vivid perceptual experiences occurring at sleep onset) and hypnopompic hallucinat...

My Son Saw Johnny In The Hole In The Wall by Cincinnatian

This story happened at the beginning of August in 2011. My son who turned 3 in September made me a true believer of spirits when this incident happened. I've always believed in spirits (Human/un holy if you will) but never actually experienced anything personally, my dad was a minister of a stri...

This Scared Me Silly... Not Sure Why by alandhopewell

During the last eighteen months I lived at 1444 Broadway, all kinds of strange things happened, from the cold spot in the vacant apartment across the hall (if you stuck your hand in it, it felt ice-cold, although a thermometer registered no change in temperature) to the shadowy figure I'd seen walk ...

Ghostly Lesson by Tempe_Toxic

A little lesson, it is kind of what I feel like my life has become. Almost like one of those History Channel specials, Histories Mysteries. Haunted History. I have a long history with the paranormal. My family included, but since my great mother passed I seem to be the only one who embraced it inste...

Demon Outside The Door by LunaDarkmist1339

I guess I should start out by saying this: I have always believed in the supernatural. As a child I had a friend I called "Angel". My mother believes that this "Angel" was the ghost of my grandmother, who died when I was 9 months old. When I got older, a friend of mine and I were in an old apartment...

Even Now I Know What I Saw by AliceRenee

My ghost story starts years and years ago. I was roughly around 8 or maybe a tad bit younger when I was visited by a being no longer in this world. Growing up I lived in an older house in a small town. We had an upstairs and my sister and I slept up there. We had separate rooms but a doorway con...

Strange And Electrifying by alandhopewell

From late 1989 until July of 1991, my apartment at 1444 Broadway in Lorain was the site of numerous unexplained phenomena. A lot of it dealt with the odd behavior of electrical and electronic devices when on the premises. These were but a few. I was waiting for company one Friday evening-among o...

The Shadow Car by alandhopewell

As I've mentioned before, the area to the south and west of Lorain has had a long history of unusual occurrences; our campgrounds are in this area. This story takes place near to an area known as Gore Orphanage. If you Google "Gore Orphanage", you'll get a number of listings about a legend of a...

Maybe A Poltergeist by ishkabibble

Sometimes I wonder if it's my imagination, or if it's real. I've never had an experience where I know it's imagination. My parents don't believe me. I've been wondering if my house is haunted (even though this isn't the most exciting story, it means what might be paranormal). First of all, one nig...

Sarah's Haunted Apartment by Fallenangel100680

Let me start off by saying that all my life I have experienced many paranormal events. From the time I was 5 up until now and I am 30. I am of sound mind and realize that the things I have encountered have been real and not my imagination. My husband and I rented a really nice apartment in Covi...
