A Visit To An Old Plantation by otteer

Back in 1978 while visiting my then fiance who lived in New Orleans, my traveling companion and I decided to drive out to some of the plantations in the countryside while my fiance was at work. We ended up at a Plantation located roughly halfway between the city and Baton Rouge. It was a lovely stat...

Multiplying Cards And A Disappearing Ouija by valkricry

I suppose the beginning of this particular event was back in 1988, with my son's birthday party. I don't know what the rational was, but someone thought the 'ideal' gift for a 7 year old would be a Ouija board. No card accompanied it, and no one ever stepped up as to being the giver. I remember ...

Mother's Warning by Panda517

First I would like to say I do have several stories in connection with my mom. It was April 11, 1996 when my mother passed away. I was a senior in high school and 18 years old.

Similar Dream by TNANGEL

This is the second part of things I have encountered. *1- These take place within the past year at my current job.

Shadowy Figures by JustAnotherPerson

This is a story about another encounter I have had with some form of spirit. This happened when I was 12 years old, about five years ago, around 2010.

Knocking At Night by NinjaPirateAssasin

I don't really know if the rest of my family believes in ghosts. Years ago, my sister and I did have a talk and were convinced that something was up with our bedroom. At the time, I was in early elementary school and my sister was either in late elementary school or early middle school. We shared...

Shadow Ghosts by Walkingdeadgirl8384

I've always lived in Florida my whole life, so when I found out my boyfriend at the time, who was from Ohio, had been laid off and his only option was moving back to Ohio, I decided to go with him.

He Said His Name Was David by TNANGEL

He said his name was David. I first met him when I was in elementary school - fifth grade to be precise - and since that first chance encounter he has been in and out of my life like a passing storm. The first time we met I was on a school field trip. I remember this so well because it was the f...

After Hours In The Library by RCRuskin

I've been fascinated by ghostly things for most of my life, but I've only personally experienced one event which, to me, only allows a ghostly explanation. At the time, I was working as a part time librarian at a community college. Part of the campus had been built over an old Roman Catholic ceme...

The Phantom Intruder by NinjaPirateAssasin

I'm not entirely sure if this is a ghost story, but I thought I would post it on here anyways because I have some reasons to suspect otherwise.

Strangest Ghost Story With Proof Or Not by stevensrd1

This is one of those stories that has proof, or rather lack of proof which is the proof. Just read further to understand. Also this is one of those stories that makes one wonder just who is the ghost here, given all the paranormal strange things me and my family has experienced over the years. But t...

Someone Else's Memory by mrmonty

I am not really sure where this fits in, not sure it there is anything ghostly about it, but it is definitely paranormal.

Papa And Freya by The_Puffin

This event occurred over the course of several months. Being in the military I had moved to Kansas the year prior and decided to change houses when my first rental home's lease ran out.

First Old Home In The Country by Agua

Shortly before I married my first wife, my parents purchased a house in a small village about 35-40 miles south of Jackson, Mississippi. They'd advised that we could live in it and work on restoring / renovating it, or they'd do it themselves and keep it for a rental property. Since the ex and I bot...

A Few Experiences At My Old Apartment by chria29

I have this theory that once you experience the paranormal you are sensitive to it and are more likely to experience something again. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I never had anything happen to me before, boom something happens, and now every few months or so something else occurs. If you read "A Strange ...

Protected By Our Dog by Dee-J

Date: circa August 1998 This is one event that I will never forget as long as I live. I recall the time being a few days or so before the new school year began. I think I may have just had my orientation earlier that same day or a few days before. Anyway, it was within the hour of 10 PM and I was...

Reflection by lightgoddess

My story starts seven years ago. At age eighteen I just got into Wicca and my attacks started. They varied from me being held down to being chased up the stairs. Worried, I tried to find a solution. I reunited with my friend and she got me into church. That was my solution. I thought I was safe....

The Female Protector by NinjaPirateAssasin

I think my house has a protector ghost. A female. My house is built on old farmland. Before that, Indians lived in the area (not sure if they specifically lived on the land my house is on).

Floating In The Air by TheCavalry

I've experienced sleep paralysis a few times. This experience was quite different. I was about 15 years old and I was up late on a school night. I was dreading going to bed... I was looking for other stuff to do. I was avoiding my room altogether but I didn't know why. Finally, trying to be respo...

My Biggest Regret by callmeD

Initially, "CHILDHOOD CURSE," was going to be the only story I post. Though it seems the community on YGS has taken an interest on the rest of my life. I do not know how to feel about it. Whether to feel flattered, inspired or otherwise, I have decided to post another one of my ongoing brushes with ...

My Family Makes A Sick Call: Part Ii by Seraphina

The first part of my story left off in the winter of 1976, when I was a twenty-seven-year-old divorced mother and grad student.

A Strange Ride by chria29

I was always a skeptic when it came to the paranormal until I had my own encounter. Up until that point I was just a somewhat normal teenage girl, always curious, and always looking for an adventure.

They Were Reaching For Me by HunterOfGhost

Introduction And Small Incidents by Agua

I've had this stuff happen to me all my life. Most were just little things. As I'd told my wife before we were married, I WISH the stuff DIDN'T happen, but it has. I suppose I'll start by sharing a few of the small things that have happened over my 54 years in Mississippi. I suppose the earliest ...

It Wasn't You? by Gia

Once when I was younger, a couple of years back, my brothers and I went on a summer trip with my mom and my stepfather to his mother's house, which was in another city not too far from where we lived. I had been there before and I had never had an experience there before this trip. So it was a l...

The Mysterious Breathing by snowxwhite

I just finished watching a ghost hunting documentary, which always leaves me in deep thought and paranoia about the strange experience I had as a teenager... I'm hoping it can be explained. I was 12 years old (I'm 22 now). It was a beautiful sunny afternoon, and as usual I was sitting in my room...

The Ski Mask by dsilcox

When I was 9 years old, my grandmother passed away after fighting cancer. We were very close, and I took her passing very hard.

The Shadow Man Cometh by SirGhost

The year was 2007, and it was the Fall here in my hometown of South San Francisco, California. I know that much because it got dark before 8 p.m. We had a front door in our 2 story home, with an oval window that went from my waist to above my head. The glass wasn't exactly see thru, it was kind of f...

Small Town Hospital, Big Time Hauntings Part 1 by gfoutch17

So I work at a small-town hospital in northern New York state, and, for obvious reasons, I am omitting the name of the hospital and its exact location because it is not like those who run this hospital came to me and said 'Hey! We want our name all over the Internet and please mention we are haunted...

The Nursing Lady by multiplyingchills3

I was only 8 when we moved to our new home, in the blatant countryside. I was excited to start life as a farm-girl, and because my father had promised me a pony and lots of pets, I was over the moon. We arrived at the charming house, painted baby blue, with white trim, looking innocent, like a dollh...

Razors by Marshy

Last night on 09/24/15, I woke up around 2:30 AM to use the bathroom. When I got back into my room I heard my roommate say something, it sounded foreign. I then went back over to my bed, laid back down, and turned the lamp off. Once I turned the lamp off and rolled back over to my side I felt wh...

San Diego County Dark Roads by mainardo_flores

Just want to share a very recent ghost experience I just had a few days ago. I live in Escondido, California. There are plenty of dark rural roads here. I happen to frequent one such road due to my girlfriend living 30 minutes away from me. I often come home from her house very late. On the ...

Night Scares by cynthia59

On September 22, 2015, I awoke to my bed shaking very hard. You could hear the springs rattling. I could not move or yell for help. Finally I just screamed, "Dad!" and it stopped (both my parents have been dead for years now). I saw a black mass jump from my bed, it was 3:13 am. I turned all the...

Cold Air And Feeling Watched by MusicLover28

Please Explain by Maggie69

I was sitting in my father's bedroom the day before he passed away. He had called us all over to see us. I could feel peace in the room as we talked. It felt as though my mother was in the room with us. He was telling me he would be around for my son's wedding or the birth of my granddaughter wh...
