Dark Figure At Office Door by Mour8

It was just another ordinary day at work. I had just got promoted to a better job and I had a lot of freedom. I mean, all I do is watch a computer screen. I had just finished what little work I have to do for the day; life was great. It was just starting to get late and I sat back in my chair to rel...

The Black Figure And Strange Occurrences by KatherineLinien

Let me make it very clear now that I thought most of the things happening to me were things that happened to many others. As I will explain in a little bit, these black figures and weird occurrences that have been happening in the house I have been living in have never happened in my friends' houses...

Visitors From The Other Side by melomelo

What would you do if you woke up in the middle of the night and saw a spirit? The first time I saw a spirit, I didn't know who they were or how they got in our house, so it was a little eerie. They visit so frequently now that it no longer surprises me. My mother had a great interest in the ...

Am I Being Followed Or Is It Attached? by _rowan_

To begin with, this post is very long, and it's happened in two different countries, but mainly in America. I was about 10 when I had my first encounter, and I was with my dad. My parents are divorced and my dad lived in another country so it was a surprise to see him at my house. We lived nex...

Humming In Baby Monitor by Janny3000x

I have lived in Ny for 14 years now and have moved to several different houses in the state. My family never experienced any paranormal occurrences in NY until the last apartment we moved into (where we have currently lived for 3 years now). The story I am about to tell is one of MANY paranormal thi...

Do We Have A Ghost? by Rmac123

A little behind the scenes... My roommate, who is my best friend for 15 years, and I are moving out of our old place and moving into a new location. Nothing like this has happened for 14. 5 months. We went to our new place earlier on Saturday to check it out, and then came back to our current place....

A Spirit by solitarysunrisewoman

In 2000, I was working in the basement at a place called William Temple House in Portland, Oregon. It was built in the Romanesque style in the 1940's and went through several owners and was once used as a speak easy and boarding house. This agency is in the NW sector of Portland and the building hel...

The Prankster And The Seeker by Allicatt

A few months ago my fiancee and I noticed some activity in our house. It started like most situations I've been in, a few by passing shadows and unrecognizable whispers. Until it decided to really try to get our attention. Well specifically mine, which I found interesting though not really shocking ...

Friend's Late Husband? by MissE

One of my friends lost her husband. He committed suicide, and she was a witness. So, she moved in with her brother (my boyfriend at the time). Before she moved in with my boyfriend, his house seemed completely normal and neutral. Well, as soon as she moved some of her belongings into the house, ...

Entity On The Stairs by NinjaPirateAssasin

About three or four years ago, I was home alone as my parents were picking up dinner and my siblings were at college. I was on the ground level of our house on my laptop. I have my laptop set up in our living room so my back is to the wall. From here, I have a clear view of our kitchen, as we have a...

Devil's Backbone Apparations by ShadowFire

I guess I should start my story by stating that I am a full practicing witch so that you can understand the many Ghost encounters I have had over my lifetime were pretty common. But on this one occasion while I was visiting my favorite camping area at Canyon Lake Park near the Devil's Backbone area,...

My Mother Has Seen My Doppleganger by DirtCreature

So something has been happening lately that at first, I didn't put much thought into. But now it's starting to get strange. First off, I am a complete pleb when it comes to paranormal knowledge. But my mom has been seeing my doppelganger. So I do not know what a doppelganger is and I do not know if ...

Haunted Cabin In Pigeon Forge, Tn by snowboarder300

This story takes place in February of 2001 just outside of Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg, TN. I actually got inspired to even tell this story again after reading Purpletrees own cabin experience, and while this didn't also happen in NC, it happened just across the border. To be quite honest, I had k...

Can Objects Actually Become Haunted? by kentucky_believer

Throughout my teenage years, I lived in a haunted house out in the country. So when I was 20 and we moved to a house in the city, I was thrilled. For six months, everything was normal, until my dad decided to surprise my mom by buying her an antique China cabinet. My maternal great-grandmother colle...

My Brother's Kitchen Ghost by girlie

It has been a VERY long time since I have been up here, but I think it is time to add some more recent ghost stories to the site. My family and I went to visit my brother at his home in Philly. We had been there before with no problem, but I don't know if I had just ignored it the first time or ...

Miscellany by SomeCallMeTim

My brushes with the supernatural have been few and far between. Rather than submit several very brief accounts, here are the best of the rest: Projection: When I was a small child, probably no older than five, I noticed that I was standing several feet away from myself, watching myself play with ...

Footsteps In The Day by mrmonty

I haven't written on this site for a while (I have checked on it from time to time), but something happened this past Saturday and I was wondering if anyone had experienced anything like this happening. I was walking home from the grocery store with my groceries hung over my shoulder, now it was...

Body Vibrating Upon Waking During A Nightmare by Justjess

A few months ago I had awoke from a nightmare and my body was vibrating as if I had a cell phone in my chest. I was about 4 months pregnant and can't quite recall what the dream was except that a ghost or a spirit was sticking its hand into my stomach to get my baby. As I slowly woke, I had firs...

The Ice Cream Truck Makes A Return Visit by yomomma

It's happening again. I knew when I started writing my stories down, going through them in my mind, talking about them, acknowledging things that happened in the past, that somehow it would make them strong again. I know that sounds crazy even somewhat dramatic but I also know that is what seems to ...

The Disappearing Doll by GinaFowler

Realizing as a teen that the house I grew up in was haunted, this is my earliest memory of an occurrence that, as a child, I didn't understand. I was born in 1977, four minutes later than my identical twin sister. Growing up, we did everything together. When we were around five years old, Santa ...

Giant Shadow Like Man? by brittnicole

Growing up, I had many paranormal experiences. I saw a shadow man in my house quite often and never got any weird vibes from him. I have not seen anything in at least six years. Well, last night, I was on the patio with my two small dogs. Our patio has a brick wall all the way around it. Down th...

Grandma Was With Me by lisabag

My amazing Grandmother got sick. Her kidneys stop working, so they started her on Dialysis. It wasn't going very well, so she wasn't able to leave the hospital. Family members were going to start taking shifts to spend a day with her at the hospital. I was so excited for my day. It was on a Monday a...

Cloaked, Hooded Figure, Lucid Dream by SPiNX

Cloaked hooded figure! Pointy nose or almost like a abstract pointed jaw... I had a lucid dream encounter. I became lucid in my dream (laying down sideways on a couch). I began floating slightly in a fetal position in mid-air, floating around a corner inside a house. Beyond the corner I reach a ...

Red Eyes In The Closet by Raygen

This is my first post ever. I have told very few people about this experience. When I was 14 I lived in the country about 20 miles outside of a small town. I loved it. One night I was in bed on the verge of sleep (You know, when you are about there but you know you are still somewhat awake). I d...

Family Visiting? by Avery

This is my first experience and it was when I was about 12 or 13 years old. I was in Colorado visiting my great-grandmother, grandfather, aunt, cousin, and other family. We all had fun then went to my grandmother's house. As soon as I walked in I knew something was up. I walked past the hallway ...

Atwood by shelbyloree

In 1976 my grandparents moved their family to the middle of nowhere, about an hour's drive to the nearest town in northeast Colorado. Mom was 16 and very unhappy about the move. She moved out as soon as high school was over, married dad and went on her merry way. She said the Atwood house gave her t...

The Paper Man by inxsgal

If I am posting this in the wrong place I am sorry, but I need direction on where to find help with this. About 10 years ago when I was around 42, my husband and I divorced and I was living in an apartment alone. It was my day off and that afternoon I decided to stretch out on the couch and rela...

Red Eye by specialized2001

It has been a while since I have posted on this site as ghostly encounters do not exactly happen often. However I have an encounter worth sharing. This encounter happened not to me, but to my twin brother during his junior year in college. I have received his permission to share this story and asked...

Ghost Hunting At Gettysburg by Parabol

Hey guys, I know I haven't posted in a while because I was beginning to run out of stories from my previous location. I have a new one now that happened just yesterday (at the time of writing this). We were on vacation in Gettysburg and my mom had booked us on a midnight ghost hunting tour, as in...

Who Are These People? by HSDB816

From the time I can remember I was always afraid of the dark. Never quite sure what was lurking in the darkness... Not bad entities just a presence of sorts. We lived in a bi-level house just outside Philadelphia from the time I was a baby until about 10 years old. I have had a couple experiences th...

Saving My Mother's Life? by HSDB816

Just some background information: I reside in Pennsylvania, I am 20 years old and I have always been "sensitive" to the paranormal. In fact, I have had many experiences happen to me other than the one I am about to tell you. On the day after Christmas in 2011 my dear MomMom passed away. She was my...

Ghosts Need Showers Too by RCRuskin

I have a few more stories I'm writing up for this site, some need a bit of editing to hide the identities of the innocents involved. Events include a possible demonic haunting a former coworker shared with me, and I no longer have the EVP she provided. There is also the haunted elevator in a church....

Dead Pet by Bunnybaby

This story is not particularly scary as the spirit is a loved one, but it is interesting I believe. About a year and a half ago, my beloved pet rabbit died. He was my baby, never in a cage, and usually either wanting to cuddle with me or play with me. He had a very sweet personality, sometimes im...

Night Before Lukie's Funeral by Cassee34

It was March 9th or 10th of 2008, it was either two nights before or the night before our baby's funeral. He was 3 1/2 months old when he passed away. It was my mom, my sister, my friend, and me alone in the house. My husband and cousin were out of the house, because his cousin took him out to t...

Dark Places by SomeCallMeTim

I honestly don't know what to make of my childhood experiences. I had a troubled, abusive upbringing and didn't really deal with it until I was in my thirties. I don't know if my experience of dark places was a side effect of that, or if I managed to short-circuit a genuine extrasensory gift along w...

Stomping Around In The Darkness by SomeCallMeTim

In 1990-1991, I was the superintendent of an apartment complex in Rockville, CT. The "complex" was actually three buildings of varying ages crammed onto what had originally been the stately yard of the 1877 mansion at its corner. This mansion was where I had my apartment, 3 large rooms that had orig...

What Happened After The Car Accident? by Anonymous520

Before I begin, this house was built studs up from 2008. So it's pretty new, and no previous owner I know of died. It is a spacious 4 bedroom house. My question is, why did these series of incidents happen? Nothing ever happened in our new house until this one incident. Any insights are helpful. ...

The Man In The Snow by kentucky_believer

Shortly after my 21st birthday, I was in my bedroom, simply lying on my bed watching TV and relaxing after a long day when I heard my dad's dog (a Teacup Chihuahua) barking. Being used to this, I ignored her for several minutes, though I eventually became annoyed with how loud she was and walked dow...

Mr. Karl by OCGirl

Mr. Karl is an older man (I think) that is living in my former residence where my daughter still resides. I'm not 100% sure when he showed up but it seems to be when my husband and I were going through some difficult times in our relationship and we lived apart for a few years. I remained in the hom...

Knock, Knock by Janellexx89

I've been a member on this site for a couple of years now but this is my first story on here. This just happened to me and my brother's girlfriend a little over an hour ago, so about 9:30 PM. I need to give you a little layout of the upstairs in my house. You come up the steps from the living ro...

Hooded Shadow Person by DandK

Three nights ago I was sleeping on my left side, with my back to the bedroom door, when I was awakened by someone shaking my right shoulder to try and wake me up. I turned over to look at whoever was trying to wake me and all I saw was a dark figure of a person that appeared to be wearing a loose ho...

Parnormally Inclined I Suppose by Mda61

I grew up in a house with my parents and six siblings in a house that I believe had more than one ghost. One was a small boy and we just referred to him as the boy in the blue and white striped shirt, the other other one was a tall man who we never really seen but felt. My first memory is sharing...

My Friend Billy by RedWolf

Now before I get to the story about Billy I have to give you a little backstory. I tried to write this story more than a dozen times a few months ago. It didn't matter which tablet I used or if I used the P.C. At some point I would lose the story. I thought it was my father-in-law was messing with m...

Dreaming With The Dead by OCGirl

When I was in my early twenties, I had a very vivid dream that my grandfather was visiting me. I remember lying in bed partially sitting up on one elbow when he came to me. When I saw him I said "Huelo, you're here!" (Huelo was the name we called him as a nick name for abuelo). He answered "Yes, I a...

Haunted Shell by tcameryn

This is my first story and is going to be hopefully a thorough account of everything that's happened up until tonight. I also want to preface this that this story overlaps with sensing and seeing spirits directly. I didn't know which site to put it on so I sincerely apologise if it's in the wrong pl...

What My Mother Wants by Suzieb1

Every since I was five years old I've been able to see and hear things that others can't. Sometimes it's just a feeling but most times I can catch something passing out of the corner of my eye, like a haze or a mist. There are others that I can plainly see. In the days before my mother had the la...

My Gramma Returns To Visit by mommaoftwo

Since this is my first story I'll start off with a little information of myself. I am currently 24 years old and not living in Ohio anymore. I am a mom of 2 beautiful children. My gramma died January 3rd of 2001 of a terrible accident that I won't get in detail about. We had her cremated and she sit...

Prairie Street House Haunting by valkricry

For some reason, a house that my friend Lori and I used to clean back in 2005 has been on my mind lately. It was one of those quaint old two story houses that look smaller on the outside than they are on the inside; an illusion given by the fact that being basically rectangular shaped, the narrow en...

I Think They Follow Us by Miamis_life94

My name is Miami. For a while now me and my family have experienced a lot of ghost-like situations in which my sisters, mother and I have all seen things that cannot be explained. We have moved due to different complications but it never fails, it always feels like we aren't the only ones living in ...

Glowing Eyes On Halloween Night by countryguy91

This one isn't super long, and may not be very scary to most, but it stuck with me for a long, long time. So, here goes. It was Halloween night, I think 2014, once again in my hometown of Richmond, Kentucky. My cousin, his girlfriend, and myself had been riding around, and went out to get some c...
