Tiny Brown Boots by metalmomma3

My story begins in an old house built around 1843. This home had over 17 rooms, a summer kitchen as well as a tunnel (filled in with large stones) that went under the house and to the barns out in the field. My very dear friend and I were always interested in old homes and especially the paranormal ...

Flying Camera by JustCurious

Before getting into the story I think a little bit of explanation in the lay out of the room that this happened is in order. That way those who read this story can get an idea about where everything that takes part in the story is in the room. When you open the door, to your immediate left would ...

Old Earrings Mysteriously Reappeared In My House by elise24

About a year ago I was at my grandfather's house (my grandma passed away in 2009), visiting my sister who lives there as well. I was in the bathroom, and in the drawer at the sink there was one of those packs of earrings you can buy at any store, you know that come with maybe 4 different pairs of st...

Shock Through My Body by xxmjcxx

I've always known that there was something wrong going on inside my house, but I never knew if it was just my imagination, or if everything was true. That was until last week, when I got home from my vacation in South Carolina. It was a long drive, so when I finally got home with my sister, mom, and...

You Never Know What You Might Find by kandeferfun1276

Since this is my first story I would like to make a good impression. I was 10 years old and it was about midnight then I fell asleep but I wasn't tired so I awoke to find a dark shadow at the foot of my bed chanting something. It sounded like an omen but I couldn't understand what it was saying. All...

Closet Case by luckyflagg

I am new to this site but not to the paranormal exactly. I grew up in a beautiful old house built in 1900 in Riverhead of Long Island, NY. My first memories, at least what I think are my first - hard to tell, are of being absolutely terrified of my closet. Every night before I went to bed, I made su...

Ghost At My Window by adw001

I live in an apartment building in the Bronx. All my life I've been able to see, feel and hear spirits. I've always tried to dismiss this area of my quirky self. My son is the same way too. On this night, I was smoking my last cigarette and going through the mail in the kitchen before retiring for...

First Just Dreams, Now A Reality? 2 Hooded Figures by Moondefi

I just recently (about a month ago, so very recently) posted up some of the experiences I've had with demons in my home. I also mentioned how I was being, what I guess could be called dream stalked, by a hooded figure. Well, lately I've been very sick-not sick with things such as the flu just consta...

Night Scare by Sea_Wolfe

One night, my cousins decided to sleep over my grandma's (the upper part of my house) house, and I did too.

Footsteps & Voices by Sea_Wolfe

On the day that this encounter happened, I was home with only my grandfather, just to clarify. I woke up and began to stretch. Because it was a weekend, I was in no hurry to wake up.

Demonic Haunting, God, And Psychic Experiences by Melissa3980

I lived in a house in Wappingers Falls, New York. I don't remember if it was in the year 1994 or 1995 that this happened but I do know that I was either 14 or 15.

Initials On A Mirror by AnnieShire

I am afraid my story is such a sad one; I don't like to tell it. This incident has me very certain that there is a continuation after death that I want to give hope to others.

I am a guy and I'm Bi-sexual. I have been encountering what I think is an incubus for the past 2 years.

Visits by MysteryPup

Ever since I was about 8 or 9 I remember experiencing strange events and feeling like I was different because of them; other kids didn't have these things happen to them, or see the things I saw. My first recollection of something *odd* was waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of my mot...

Something Scratched Me by elise24

This past September, I moved to New York from Michigan. About a month later, give or take, I was in my bedroom one day; it was probably around 5 o'clock in the evening. Before I got a new bed I was using a double papasan to sleep on. Well I sat down in it, and leaned back sort of on my left side...

Black Mass Outside My Door, Not Sure What It Is by psychicteen13

I was in my room, in my bed, reading. I was (and still am,) reading the book, "You Own The Power," by Rosemary Altea.

I Used To Live In A Creepy House by maddymouse99

I'm new to this so sorry if it's long. I lived in a house that was very... You could say, inside out. It looks normal on the outside but has a creepy and dark feeling on the inside.

Sleep Haunting by Chained_Flower

Ever since I was little I was able to see spirits, but not all the spirits were nice.

Because of this, I wasn't scared and found it normal when ghosts were to foll...

When A House Becomes A Home by Wheatxtoast

When my family moved from New York City to small town in southern Westchester County, I was incredibly unhappy. But when I saw the house we were moving into, I was despondent.

Little Guardian Angel by CrystalAngelWings

This started when I was about 7. I had just gotten a room to myself. Our house is on one of the Great Lakes. Also most of you will think that this is fake or made up and I thought it at first too.

Creepy Man In The Backyard by CrystalAngelWings

From The Corner Of My Eye by 3_oclock

My name is Marita and almost everywhere I go I hear the same sound. To know this sound think of a mix between old wood furniture being sharply shifted at the top and a quick tap of a finger nail. I discovered this noise in Camillus, NY. In a somewhat new duplex apartment house I lived in with my mom...

Bedside Lady by merrysunshine

I was four years old. I'd had a nightmare and had crawled into my mom's bed because I was scared. As my mom snored softly beside me, I was freaking out at every shadow that passed by the window.

The Glass Girl by Cameron_Chaos

I've had countless encounters with the unknown in my 16 years of life. This was my first one.

A very average little...
