The Dock, Be Water by notjustme

"You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend." - Bruce Lee I found this q...

Grandfather Continues To Watch Over Family by phatdragon

While this happened when I was very young, I don't believe it was the product of a little boy's vivid imagination due to the facts that the phenomenon repeated itself many times, and I didn't think it was a ghost. When I was about four, my family moved back to the US for a few months before reloc...

Deceased, Happy, And Excited Step Grandpa by bella714

To begin, I would like to clear up that I am NOT an adult, if it states so. I'm actually pretty young. A couple weeks ago on the night of Christmas Eve, I was in my mom's room, straightening my hair for our traditional Christmas dinner. It was two nights before our one-week long vacation to Color...

He Still Helps Me by Hecate0

It's time I share my favorite ghost story. My father was diagnosed with lung disease when I was a freshman in college. It was horrible news. He was one of those rare people.

My Mother's Friend by smithnb42

I have submitted another story called I Lived In A Haunted House. The story I am writing now also takes place in the same home yet I firmly believe it is a separate and distinct event and not associated with the existing haunting. My mother and father had an eclectic group of friends when they w...

Death Visits And Coincidences by RitaCMW

This is a very difficult story for me to tell. As a little background I would like to mention that my brother committed suicide decades ago. His birthday was November 9. Six years after he died my father died on my brother's birthday, November 9. Moving ahead another 13 or 14 years my mother died on...

Thanks For Stopping By, Dad by GoGently

In the mid-1990s my husband and I had a "commuter marriage," living about 200 miles apart while he attended university and I started my career. I lived alone in a small cabin in a rural central Utah community. "Pony walls," about the height of a kitchen counter, divided the cabin interior into kitch...

An Invisible Clock Ticking by Manafon

I am 47 and have had numerous paranormal experiences throughout my life. Some very odd, others quite intense. In recent years I would say my paranormal experiences have been much more sporadic, sometimes months or even years apart. Just this last Saturday night (November 22nd 2014) I had an experien...

We've known each other for many years, we have g...

Double Visitation by valkricry

I swear, as I sit here typing this up, the temp in my room has dropped about 10 degrees, but only behind my right shoulder; as if someone is reading over my shoulder. It isn't a 'bad' feeling, the vibe is more of someone being curious. I'm just not sure who the someone is. This is current, having...

Grandma Came To Say Goodbye by StevenTylerRocks

This experience happened in May of 1979 when I was 15 years old. My maternal grandmother had passed, maybe a week or two before this event.

Visit From Grandparents by Curious61

I've always believed that deceased family will come and visit and also escort you when it's your time. I also believe that the young have a strong propensity to enjoy these visits and are more open and accepting to them. My daughter is a case in point. Her fraternal grandparents died when she was ve...

The Cat And The Angel by valkricry

It was May of 2003, and I had spent a year in the darkest recesses of my mind, nursing a broken heart. I had suffered three traumatic blows, one after another. First came the loss of a good job, right before Christmas 2001. I kept telling myself, and two children, that things would be OK, but tried ...

Protective Grandma by Trio

In late 2010, we were blessed with twins; a boy and a girl. We were overjoyed, but we learned that our daughter was ill and would need life saving surgery before her first birthday. That time came in April 2011. She had a very rough recovery, and there was a time that we weren't sure she would even ...

Lala by clarencetuvera

Since the last story I posted (IS THIS CLOSURE?) I've been thinking a lot about my childhood and the foggy stories that people who remember me says about me. For instance, I asked my older cousin (older by eleven years) what I was like when I was a pre-teen, and he said I was so strange that even he...

Paranormal Experience, Or Paranoid Experience? by Blizzards_Echo

To begin, I have read quite a few stories on this site, and I decided to submit my own, just to see if anyone might be able to enlighten me.

My grandmama, as I had been told because I never got to meet her she died in 1950 something, was a strict church woman she didn't tolerate stupid things happening in church. Now to my story. One day me and my friend had sta...

An Encounter With Death And An Unlikely Guardian by Dark-Thorn

Greetings all readers. I am new to this sight and have never written out my experiences for others to read so it may be a little straight forward at first. I, like most of you, have seen, heard and experienced strange things most of my life. I believe my link to the paranormal surfaced when I was ab...

The Last Visit by chounojou

This story happened when I was in 2nd grade of middle school (I'm a college sophomore now). I don't know the exact time, but it surely happened at night. It happened when I was sleeping, but I'm sure that's not a dream. So one night I was sleeping in my room. Suddenly, I felt like someone was wak...

Loved Ones Never Really Leave by Trio

I come from a very close knit family, we did everything together. I was a self-proclaimed Daddy's girl and often called on my Dad for help. Life as I knew it changed in 2003 when my Dad passed away.

My Neice And The Nightly Visits by AuntieMissi

Last night my sister and I heard my 2 1/2 year old neice talking in her bedroom. We went to go see what she was doing because it was late and she should have been asleep. It was storming pretty hard and we wanted to make sure that the thunder didn't scare her as well. When we walked in the room she ...

The Disappearing Address Book by WelshGirl

Ten years ago, my Stepmother was very ill with cancer and did not have much time left. But rather than allowing us as a family to sit and wallow about the 'whys' and 'what ifs', she encouraged us all to be open with our feelings and remember the holidays we'd had as children. I actually built up mor...

Flying Flowers Broken Vase 2 by valkricry

I think this may be connected with the event I posted back in May called Flying Flowers Broken Vase, which is why I decided to title this a continuation of that happening. On May 17th, a vase that had belonged to my dad, filled with flowers flew off the top of my curio cabinet breaking. I found...

We honestly have no idea as to what caused Kuya Ram's death but we're quite sure that he was having multiple complicat...

A Visit From Grandpa by Cman710

In a few of my other encounters, I have talked about my Grandpa that I think may have visited me before in my old house (either that or an older man, I never was entirely sure). What I'd regretted to share was I had been visited by him in another location, and that I was not the only one. And in the...

My Brother And I by Nadiri

This happened when I was a little girl, around 4 years old. It was late at night and my brother visited my room because he wanted to play.

Closure From Dead Cousin by Jess_1997

About a year ago I came home to bad news from my mother. She explained to me that my cousin Danny died in an accident on his motorcycle late the night before. I hadn't spoken to my cousin in years, which only made me more upset about the current situation. Later that night I was sitting on my be...

Great Grandma Disapproves by allisonbeckert23

I had a familial spirit encounter at the home of my maternal grandmother. This woman behaves like a spoiled teenager, though she has all her faculties. It's not like a mental infirmity that makes her unable to tend herself, she's fully capable, but her personality is the spoiled teen. I've never...

I Could Feel Him by Ahriannah

I would love to tell you that my experiences in life have been extremely out of the ordinary, or even that they could scare you witless. However, I have never been completely normal so my stories tend to follow, and maybe that is why I venture out and find other people with experiences, or read/writ...
