Tagged From Beyond by SeaLaughing

Last Sunday afternoon, my friend Susan went to visit her sister's grave. When she arrived, the marker was missing. She searched the area, but couldn't find the marker, and was tremendously upset. I'm a writer, and had given her a flash drive containing my current manuscript. She keeps it locked i...

Here When I'm Needed by notjustme

I've been reading stories on this site for a few months and finally decided to share my story. It's not scary but more comforting, well, for me anyways. It is still hard to talk about it. It happened in the summer of 2008. I had just turned 21 and my boyfriend at that time just turned 22. Our bir...

My name is Kaitlin and I wanted to share this experience with other people who have seen the paranormal.

Conversations With A Deceased Classmate by shamby


October 2011 This is an update on Dylan (D) dreams, again. At this point (Fall 2011) he had now been dead for more than a year and it has been more than 5 months since I'd had a dream about Dylan. I now feel comfortable using his first name online as a few people in my hometown now know ...

News From The Clairvoyant by Unexplained

A little over ten years ago I lived in a maisonette with my ex-girlfriend (a visual artist), and her pet cat. My ex never talked about the supernatural back then. Before she met me, she had an experience late one night, while cycling over a bridge, that terrified her. So, knowing that, I rarely brou...

A Bad Visit From My Great-grandmother by YoungBee

As a little child, when my great-grandmother (grandfather's mother) was alive, I used to be scared of her. Only reason I was scared of her was because she had these spots all over her skin.

Great Grandpa's Passing by reddysteady

Let me start this post by saying that I have not experienced much "scary" paranormal activity, but that the majority of my experiences have been primarily uncanny, comforting, and even helpful, at times. I have been keen to spirits since a young age, and am neither afraid of them nor leery. I believ...

My...

Mother's Final Goodbye? by TheWhisperSilence

This all started when I was 10-yearsold. We had just had a power outage, so the only electrical thing we had were some flashlights so we could see. My father suddenly yelled for me to come into the room. It was pitch black. "Hayleigh, this flashlight just flickered on and off by itself!" At first I ...

My Uncle's Visit by SpiderZA

After reading through quite a few stories I have decided to submit mine.

Don't Hold Your Breath by Fergie

On the 15th December 1988, our first grand-child, a son, was born in Carletonville. He was born premature, and so small that I had to buy dolls clothes to fit him.

Family Protector by geetha50

A person like me who is interested in the paranormal, it's always nice to hear what other people experience. If not for the fun of it, at least to valid what you experienced is not crazy and as zzzgranny would say, become a loony! It's especially fun to hear stories that are related to your family. ...

The Grey Face by darkangel77

I have always been intrigued by the unknown since I was a little girl. Family members couldn't understand why and sometimes even thought I might be evil or possessed.

A Sign My Uncle Was There by brchdech8809

My uncle passed suddenly in 2005. He had no obvious health problems and seemed to be in good shape for a man of 38-years-old. The day we received the news was a cloudy, rainy, depressing day.

What My Father Saw by Serendipity

I have two significant personal stories to tell, one of which I have told already as "A woman who wasn't there".

Grampy? by NicoIxion

Hey everyone. I'm new to this site but I felt compelled to share my experience with you. A few years ago now I was in bed sleeping when I felt a pair of hands on my body gently pushing me.

Evil Uncle by 345assasin42

Since this story will not make sense without explaining what happened before the experiences, then I will start from the beginning. It was some time around June during the year 2003.

My Gone But Not Forgotton Friend by YellowRose

First of all, I have to say that I go to see a medium. The very first time I saw her, she touched my hand & straight away said that I'm very in touch with "the other side".
