Buddhist Prayers for Civil War Dead by RaisesOrchids

I am a Buddhist nun, called an ani. I live near the Manassas Battlefields in Virginia, and I've frequently gone there to pray for the lives that were lost so tragically. The battlefields cover many miles, and some of the bloodiest battles of the US Civil War were fought in that area. Many Buddhists ...

Floating Lamp by Kathy

There have been a few accounts in my parents' house but this one seems to stands out the most.

Banging on the Walls by luvparanormal

As you all know, I have been telling you about a few things that have happened to me in the past and some recently.

Ghost or Earthquake? by whitebuffalo

I joined the military when I was sixteen. My father didn't like it, so he marched me straight down to the recruiter's office and had them tear up the contract. Then I decided a few months before my eighteenth birthday that I was going for it again, but keeping it secret. I did not have a horrible ch...

Some Ghost Keep Taking my Jewelry by actionaction

I basically think I have either a ghost or a poltergeist residing in my home. Certain little things have tipped me off to thinking that, like my jewelry disappearing from time to time. The strange thing is, it's only certain things that are taken. Like necklaces for instance, and heart shaped ones a...

That Day I Started to Believe in Ghosts by Dragonmom

Back in high school I went over a friend's house after school. While we were in her room she decided to tell me that there was a ghost in her house.

Barnstorm Kashmir by Sam

During this summer vacation -- back in Kashmir -- every morning we would get up to hear the latest lowdown about Abdullah, the ghost in our neighbor's newly built home.

The Haunted Book Shelf by morgan

My Brother is Experiencing a Poltergeist by Derek15

As you may know, I recently wrote a story about my experience in my brother's old apartment last summer. This time, it's not me who's experiencing things. It's my brother, and it's in his new apartment, just blocks from the one where I experienced what may have been his landlady's dad's spirit. We t...

Who's in the Basement? by B

The house we lived in was creepy as hell already. When my bedroom was upstairs, I found someone had carved into the inside of my closet door "so-and-so died here on such-and-such a date" I thought nothing of it and decided some other kid who lived here before wrote it there to scare people. My mo...

This Wasn't Funny Anymore by dee_taylor_85

My husband was stationed at Ft. Wainwright, AK with the Army. We lived on base in some of the oldest family housing there.

Military Spirit Never Dies! by kboyer1021

Footprints of a Strange Visitor by Bellissima

This is one of those stories passed down through the family, told by my father. He passed away so I can't ask him to clear any details, but I'll relate it as well as I can remember. My father's family, a couple of generations back, lived in Arkansas. They were very poor and I suppose they were what ...

My First Apartment Alone by Justin

I had been living in Memphis TN for over a year, and at this time was living with a good friend of mine named Kari in an apartment complex in East Memphis. We got alo...

Flickering Lights by Pangie

I've already told one ghost story but this is another slightly smaller one. When I was younger and still lived in the US in california, we lived in a town house.

Yogurt Trip Gone Bad by bogienova

Southern Scare by amyradvan

A few months ago, I was about to take a shower. I needed another bar of soap, so I went and grabbed a new bar out of the drawer. I pulled it out of the box and set it on a shelf in the shower.

The Strange Room by KimSouthO

Fingerprints on the Shower Mirror by hellosailor87

It can be just as spoo...

Hovering Vacuum Cleaner by lian01

I don't really like stories that are posted on behalf of someone else, I think it often damages the credibility. I'm only submitting this story because I believe 100% that it is real. It is an encounter that happened to my best friend Max. He's the kind of best friend that you consider more to be fa...

Visit to my Stereo by Bellissima

This is just something I thought would be interesting to share. When my kids were just little ones, (oldest being 3 years old and baby was 6 months, now they're 15 and 12) we had a pretty decent stereo system.

Ghost Repeating His Pattern by asje

We were always told by our elders not to stay out late at night, because we might stumble upon 'things' that claim the streets their territory between 12 am and 5 am.
