Shadow Cat Takes Form by mgd601

On Easter morning 2007, I found my cat Tigger dead in the street in front of our house. I did not know what happened to her. Was she hit by a car or what? Heartbroken I paid a visit to a psychic. She told me that my poor Tigger was hit in the head with a rock by an evil teenager, and died in three s...

Shaking Lamps, Bed Or Me by dom

I have a very small house in a really peaceful neighborhood. I do not think my house is very old, but that has not stopped me from speculating that there is something is this house.

The Ghostly Kids by ElinaIoneki822

It's been awhile since I have last submitted a story. Even though it's been awhile, it does not mean I've been living without any encounters.

Playing With Knobs by Kwazimoto

I'm a bit rushed, it's almost time for me to leave work, but I just read a story here that reminded me of an incident from a week or two back and I forgot all about it as I had to rush out shortly after it occurred, too. And that reminded me of a second incident. A couple of weeks ago I went to g...

Swirling And Screaming by neu

I'm not sure if this would fall under the category of sleep paralysis or other such diagnoses, because though all of the following incidents have happened while I was in bed, they don't match the descriptions of any other accounts I've read, nor did they happen when I was just waking or falling asle...

The Darken Street By The Cemetery by Dimber

Imperial Beach Drownings by ghostseer

Too many times I have seen them diving under the waves. The horrible part is when they don't come up for air. This is when I start to panic, wondering if I should toss off my coat and shoes, pull off my heavy jeans, and go after them. I don't want to hesitate too long JUST IN CASE it is a real livi...

Orbs In My Bedroom by claudehill

Around the end of January 2009, I woke up to see two bright, round lights above my bed. I was familiar with orbs so I thought that was what I saw.

Ritual Failure, Or A Successful Conjure Of A Pushy Spirit? by Shadowcat

I've always been enchanted by the occult.

Being a Communications major and intensel...

Egyptian Ghost Warrior In Love With Me... Maybe by freshbaklava

After reading several stories I felt compelled to tell mine. My story might seem extreme, but I am a perfectly rational and intelligent person. Everything in my story is 100% real.

The first night I awoke and could feel something pull...

Floating Tissue by cisco711

I work as a clairvoyant healer and counselor, as well as a medium. However that does not mean I have a lot of ghost experiences, although I have some. I see this as a ghost story, not a medium or psychic story because I was not working at the time and was as scared as anyone might be. I think that s...

My Friend Jacob by Nor_Cal_Girl

My friend Jacob passed away last Fall. He was only 19 years old. Everyone took it pretty hard. He was a smart kid, knew a lot about a lot of really cool things, but he had a wild side.

Strange Activities by DeviousAngel

After a long period of inactivity, the weird experiences I've had the past few days seemed to bunch together in order to make up for the uneventful month I've had overall.

Was It My Aunt In The Mirror? by KittyK

I recently had an experience that I have a hard time understanding. I had been seeing this figure (the typical black, not a shadow but not solid either, figure) for a few months and thought nothing of it.

Ghosts & Dwarfs by soldierstrk

From as far back as I can remember I've seen ghost not just once but I've seen them a lot of times and it doesn't matter where or what time of the day it is, I always see them, even at school.

Lady In White Gown by csuegar

This is actually my second time writing this story. I was almost at the end when my page went blank and it was all deleted so maybe it was meant for me to write it over.

White Owls: Ghostly? Spiritual Beings? by ghostseer

White Owls... I was never curious before. Now...? I am overwhelmed with emotion!. To be honest with you, I never gave it much thought (in the past) as to why they follow me. No matter where I go, they are always there-watching me. I am talking about white owls! These are incredible WHITE owls, so...

Hollyweird by ghostseer

I drove through Hollyweird (Hollywood) in record time, and finally found a parking spot. If you have ever been to the area around the Sunset Strip, you know how congested with oddness it is. As soon as I got out of my car, I saw the dwarf astride a pink stingray bike. He had on a Viking helmet wi...

Hanging Jackets by starhallie

I'm going to be frank. I've never truly believed in ghosts until last night. My boyfriend asked me to come stay with him at his friend's house for a little bit (he had to feed the cat and the dog while his friend was away... Kind of like house-sitting). I remembered him saying something to the eff...

My Succubus by Scbsd

I have a Succubus. I am "allowed" to refer to her as "Pure" in public, but she has given me several names by which I might address her in private.

Ghost Santa by ghostseer

I was out shopping for Christmas Gifts a few years ago, when I saw a man hiding behind a row of trash cans. That is-until I realized I was looking at a Spectral man, and not a living being. Taking a closer look at the apparition, I was surprised to see his attire. He was projecting himself-dresse...
