Visit In The Night by vivalav

This was my very first experience with a spirit. Firstly, you should know that my family, particularly on my mum's side, are more sensitive to spirits. At the time of my experience I was around four or five years old (18 now) and was living in my second house (in my fourth house now). Just to set th...

Insomnia by Lilady4

A few nights ago, I had an extremely hard time sleeping, as my Husband was away supporting family. My brother was with me, and so was my cat, Teddy.

Night Crawler 2 by SpookyEbony

Continuing on with the first part of this story, the crawling demon girl visited me a second time. It had been a couple of months, maybe 3 or 4 since I had that first unsettling encounter with the girl. Nothing worth noting had happened in the months since I'd seen her. That was about to change, ...

Night Crawler by SpookyEbony

For this story I'll have to jump back a few years to when I was 17 and living with my father. I had been with him for a year. My father and I lived in a little 2 bedroom unit behind my Nana's house.

Did I See My Own Ghost? by KellzMelis

I cannot tell you exactly how long ago this happened; only that it was a little chilling. My story does not include any ghosts, although I do quite often see them. This story is about another paranormal experience I had roughly three years ago. I don't know what to call it, but I suppose it was an O...

It had been 3 days since the shadow man attacked me and my mother. Finally the day of the clearing had rolled around, ironically on my 15th birthday.

The Little Red Imp 2 by SpookyEbony

After the incident at my grandparent's house with the imp, I was very wary of sleeping at night. I've always been a light sleeper and now every tiny little noise I heard would set me on edge and I'd find it hard to get to sleep. About a week had passed but I was still disturbed by what had happened ...

The Little Red Imp by SpookyEbony

This was to be the first of a month's worth of unsettling events. A month may seem like a short time, but I swear it was the longest, most terrifying month of my entire life.

My name is Amanda and I am 17 years old. When I was little, about 7 or 8 years old, whenever I was home alone I would hear footsteps upstairs.

A Baby Visits by mumoffour

I have been interested in ghosts for a long time but all efforts I made (asking them to show themselves in places I've been told are haunted etc) have been unsuccessful. As a result of that, I slowly lost faith and discounted ghost stories as just that, 'stories'. Recently, however, my baby began b...

The Man In The White Shirt by kiwi_girl

This happened only last week and although I'm not completely sure if it's paranormal it's certainly unexplainable. I've just finished my first year of my university degree and my boyfriend and I decided to take a break at his family holiday home on the beach for a few days. Before I begin let me tel...

It Was Like I Was Drugged by boob00_99

I couldn't tell if this was a dream or not because I somehow had woken up in the early morning on my bed in my bedroom.

My Haunted Hallway by tommo

Freaky Freaky Freaky by FrankieFatality

Pretty short and simple really, I woke up at about 3.00am this morning to something trying to push me out of my bed.

It Don't Matter If Your Black Or White by Just_Mwah

My little brother of 9 has always been scared of things. Up to when he was about 6 or 7 he was afraid of the dark (and normally you stop when you're about 5.)

Home Sweet Home by Anjoubelle

Normally I am not one to be easily scared.

My fami...

Never Provoke A Graveyard Spirit by LordOfDarkeningShadows

In my earlier story "Dream of A Funeral That Turned Demonic", I talked about having a dream about a cemetery near where I live. This story takes place at the same cemetery but was all too real.

I'm Never Going To Use A Ouija Board Again by LordOfDarkeningShadows

This happened a few nights ago. I made a Ouija board and decided (stupidly, as I learned) to use it alone. The first two times I tried nothing happened but the third time I started getting answers. The conversations went like this: Conversation #1: Me: Is there anybody there? Board: Yes Me:...

Ruth From Hell by Tomo

This is something that I had almost forgotten over the years but reading some your stories has brought this memory back to me, it wasn't pleasant at all and like most people who have played with a Ouija board I wish I had never done it.

Spiritualist by shadow

I am different from most people who see ghosts. I see them everyday of the week, every month of the year and so on.
