The Young Woman In The Graveyard by mindflower

I firmly believe in the supernatural, but I am not a religious person. I believe in demons, but I believe that they are separate from religion. This is not the most important or first experience that ever happened to me, but it is the one that scared me the most. My family has a history of clairv...

My Grandpa's Ghost by excecil3

I will never forget the day my grandpa died. It was tragic, for everyone that knew him. It was six years later after the incident that I began to notice strange things.

Dark Hooded Figure Following Me Through My Life by Julesco2

I was about 6 years old when this all started. My uncle passed away and I was devastated. He was like a father to me so I indeed was very hurt.

Sleep Paralysis - Paranoia by Shadowfax

Hood Figure With The All White Face by TraumatizedbySin

Here is a story I've only shared with a few people as the times I have I was often made fun of or looked at as if I was mental, except for my wife as she was sort of a witness.

One Of A Few by blkfox

One night she ran into my parents' bed room and told them "...

Ghost Lamp Returns by Spazztasticgirl

I wanted to have some help with this haunting. I am not sure what to do. It is not a scary haunting, but it is very curious. As I said before in my other story, Ghost Lamp, Kitten, And Demon In Graveyard, the ghost lamp is only heat sensitive and will only turn on if your skin or a cat paw touches ...

Did A Ghost Save Our Friendship? by galleygal

This happened at my parents' house when I was a kid in high school.

My best friend in high school was over for a visit one day. We were just hanging...

Strange Experience In Our New Home by galleygal

Let me preface this story by saying that although I'm a great lover of ghost stories, including true ones such as those found on this site, I am normally reluctant to immediately leap to the conclusion that ghosts or demons are responsible for unexplained phenomena... But in this case, I'm simply st...

After The Visit by cosmogal926

I recently posted my first story called, 'The Visit'. This next story describes things that happened after that.
