We're Not Alone in this House by Jason McGrath

In 1991 my parents decided to move our family across the country to a small Northern Michigan town. My dad claims he found the perfect house for us to live in. It was an early 1900's Victorian home.

Haunted Baby Grave by Flutterofwings

This took place in Michigan at a grave yard that my Mom and Dad are laid to rest at. In the mid 1980's. I always just kind of felt at peace there, (no pun here intended) and would often go to this grave yard to just walk around. When I was real stressed out and look to see what grave was the oldest....

Basement Apartment by Flutterofwings

The early years of my marriage to my husband Jim we were looking for an apartment that was cheap and close to his work. This was 1971 in Ypsilanti.

The Old Lady and Her Little White Dog by frenchpoet

My parents bought a small two-story ranch just a few cities over from our old house (The House on Buckingham Street).

The House on Buckingham Street by frenchpoet

When I was five, my parents bought an abandoned house in Lincoln Park. It didn't have the typical characteristics of abandoned houses found in movies and such - the grass was overgrown due to neglect and the shingles had a little more wear and tear than one would like, but otherwise it had a decent ...

The In-Betweens You See in the Corners of Your Eyes by Bobherriges

When I was about twelve or thirteen years old, I began to see something. A short man, about four and a half feet tall, with a burlap vest and long pants torn off just below the knee. He had the proportions of a midget but the way he moved did not resemble a midget's, they were the movements of a pro...

Fireflies by whitebuffalo

As a young child, one of my favorite pass times was to catch and count fireflies. We had a small backyard, so occasionally we would go down the street and across to a small park that was not particularly friendly to find some. This usually happened when the family was over and we ran out of room for...

Satanic Cult Encounter by Brad

I don't know where to start. Let me just say that I am a strong Christian and you should never mess with evil. Just over 2 years ago in early October, me and a few of my friends had been toilet papering people every week. It was sort of our little rendition. We had always heard of a supposedly "sata...

Apparition with a Blank Face by ALLISONNN

I've been haunted for a while, now. Paralysis attacks, cold drifts, pokes, taps and all that good stuff. It doesn't really scare me anymore, because I figure if it were something evil, it would have DONE something evil, other than creep me out on a daily basis. Well, the other night I was laying...

Feeling Taps by ALLISONNN

I remember when I was about 10 years old (ish), I had the kind of bunk beds that were in the shape of a "T" from a birds-eye view. I remember I went through a phase where I absolutely COULD NOT fall asleep unless I was facing the wall. Eventually, I would start to feel hard taps on my left-hand shou...

Brujaria and Disappearing Act by Dulcita

This is story that I can very vividly remember. When I was a young child we would often take trips out of state and visit family.
