Help Me I Live Right Here by Peachesop

My story takes place three years ago in the town of Bethany, Connecticut. I lived in this town for 3 years before I moved to upstate New York for college. It is an extremely small rural town with lots of farmland, trails, and livestock. Horseback riding is very common; you see people riding every da...

Seeking An Explanation by SamCat

Since I was young I would tell my parents stories about things such as "the ghost tickling me". I moved into my new house at age ten, a fairly new house built in the fifties, and ever since then I have had multiple experiences. Nothing I experienced ages 10-14 was threatening, but always scared m...

Haunted Ozark Church House by Mama22bratz

I have shared some of my stories several years ago on another (less entertaining and far less professional) site, in case they seem familiar to anyone. Please allow me to point out that some of my stories are also included (with some fictional embellishments) in a children's book I am in the process...

Shadow Man Brings Knowledge by SeriouslyConfused

Ever since I was about 5 or 6, I used to see this shadow man. I would only see him out of the corner of my eye, so I passed it off as my eyes playing tricks on me. One day, when I was about 6 or 7, I was sitting in the living room that overlooked my kitchen. I blinked and saw the man standing in ...

Strange Happenings At New Home by augiegvc

The condo we lived in was sold so in 2012 we moved into a really nice apartment located in the same city. While living there we had many strange happenings, many that couldn't be explained.

Calico Ghost Town Experience by augiegvc

On Sunday, December 6 2009, my daughters and I accompanied my mother and my two brothers to San Bernardino's Calico Ghost Town.

The Half Man by thefarmer

I wanted to share my ghost encounter for some time now. What happened still haunts me today. I was pregnant with my daughter in 1999. Me and my now ex moved into a new apartment, for more room to accommodate our new little one. Everything was wonderful in the beginning, then things started chang...

Shower Curtain Call by KimmieWebb

Let me start by saying that this story, in my opinion is rather embarrassing. I can't believe I am going to tell it, but you good folks at YGS make it easier to open up about the subject of the paranormal. Please know that in typing this story out... My face is beet red. After a break up with Dav...

Girl In The Night Gown by RebelRaider

As I said in another post, I volunteer at a Civil War Museum and this is another encounter I had there. I'm on the Security Board and since I'm the closest volunteer with keys I'm the one who meets the police when an alarm goes off. We've had our fair share of false alarms. One night a few weeks ago...

What Happened? by deadmanrising

Around six years ago I got grounded and was sent to bed early. I closed my door and climbed into bed around 6:00 and I fell asleep around 7:45. I woke up at 12:00 o'clock on the dot, I thought I heard someone crying in my room. When I turned on the light something screamed and the light blew out, th...

The Closet Door Part 2 by Butterfly_Kisses

A couple of years ago I posted a story of some experiences that happened to me. This is an extension of those experiences while living in that same house. Since then, I have moved out of that house and moved into the house next door. (I should mention that both these houses are on the same lot which...

She Hugs Me by ashleylesley

My mom passed away June 1, 2011. She died in a house fire; the newspapers deemed me a survivor of the fire because I lived there, but was not at home at the time of the fire. Many traumatic things have happened since then. Babies have been born, cousins have died. I've been sick throughout my li...

The Nights Of A Devil by Padams

Looking back to the time of my first son's birth (March 05, 1992) about twenty-three years back reminds of a different place in my life.

My Sleepover Scare by zombie_momma

When I was a youngster I always seemed to have seen shadows and heard voices or noises. Nothing ever scared me too bad. I was used to seeing shadows walk back and forth since I was 5. But what happened this night was not one of those times. This specific event happened about 10 or more years ago,...

Grandma's Visitor by DragonLuvrD

A few years after the house hunting incident, we were settled in a nice place. The house has felt nice compared to the farmhouse we looked at, and nothing unusual had happened.

Drawing In Ashes by tking11

I was very hesitant to submit a story but my last experience was very bizarre and I would like share to see if I can get some answers. Let me start by telling you a little about myself.

The Glowing Man by jinzydraso

It happened when I was a kid maybe 7 or 8 years old, but I remember what I saw vividly.

Living in a old farm house that was heated by a wood stove, the upstairs got a bit...

The Ghost Of The 3rd Grade Boy's Bathroom by Ericcardona64

In 2009-2010, my 4th grade year, I had a ghost experience at my brand spanking new elementary school that opened in 2008, where I went from 3rd to 5th grade. What started out as a normal school day in the September turned awry when I had the sudden urge to go to the bathroom. Well, I did my busin...

My Paranormal Experiences In My House by anniexolivia

One night I was sleeping and it was pitch black in my room. I was laying in bed and I heard someone walking around in my room, like the sound of feet dragging on the carpet, so I turned my phone light on and looked around and I saw a shadow floating in my room. I didn't get a good look at it put I k...

And Stay Out by KimmieWebb

In November (Thanksgiving) of 2004 after being single for a few years, I began dating a man by the name of David. He was a very nice guy and we got along very well.

The Patient by Prince_virgo

Despite whether or not you are willing to believe, this story is 100% REAL! Well, it all started 2 weeks ago, while I was getting my spinal fusion back surgery. I was diagnosed with scoliosis a few years back, so the surgery ultimately would be something new, and sort of frightening. Anyway, ...

The One And Only Time I Tried An Ouija Board by YouAreMySunshine

My brother went to Toys "R" Us and bought a Ouija board. At first I thought we shouldn't bother it because it may be evil, but they talked me into it. That night it was me, my brother and 3 other people. We set up the board, placed a coin on it and said a prayer before we started. These are the q...

Lay Back by pjs1977

I remember when I was 14 years old my father and step-mother sent me to sleep-away camp up in Maine. I am from Brooklyn, NY so this outdoor stuff was quite different and fun for me. So here's the layout of the camp. The boys had square cabins about 40ft by 50ft and there were 8 of these cabins for u...

Unpredictable Knowledge by Krom1987

Let me start by saying this story mostly involved my mother, along with my kid brother and stepdad. For those that have read my other stories, this one also takes place in a small town in Ohio, my hometown. My mother had just moved into a house, which lay a mere 100 yards from our town's McPherson c...

Willing To Try Something New by 22aya

First things first, we bought our house and we love it. However, I think I've had enough of the small occurrences that keep continuing. The energy within our home overall feels tense, and I know things like buying a home or other daily things can produce stress, but this is different. We haven't don...

Hello? by KimmieWebb

After a divorce in 2003, I and my 2 children moved into a older mobile home, and had been told by a neighbor there were strange things that went on in it... And due to a couple of prior experiences (told in prior entries) I already knew. My best friend Amy always seemed to have the "creeps" at m...

Seeing Double by pkrexer

Just wanted to share one of the few odd experiences I've witnessed. A little about me: I'm from Traverse City, MI and have always been more of the skeptical type. However, the paranormal is always something that's fascinated me and wish I did have more experiences. The quick story I'm sharing wi...

Shabby Cheap Motels With Dirty Mirrors by 50shadesofnico

I still do not know if what I saw was real or not, but I do know I will never forget it. I have never had any encounters with the supernatural before this event, nor did I afterwards.

Meeting Ms. Ruby by KimmieWebb

After a divorce in 2003, I moved back to the town that I grew up in, Panama City, FL. I had two children, Katie (9) and Wyatt (2).

Truckstop Ghosts In Texas by HitchcockMadness

Nearly six years ago I moved to Texas from Florida for work (signed contract) and as I had some time before the new job started I decided to drive the journey. As I really enjoy driving and long trips don't worry me, I actually find it rather relaxing. Odd? Yes maybe. But I grew up with parents who ...

Oldest Pioneer Farm In Utah? by mysticalavenger5

So, thank you YGS for publishing my other story, even though it was my wife who wrote it for me under twisterwatcher7. You see folks, I'm a rare survivor of childhood leukemia. So, please hang in there as I have violent shakes, but I realized I better write my own accounts. As a small child I wa...

A Haunting At Grandma's by Heather111

It all started about 5 years ago. I was about 14 when my mom, my older sister Tara and I moved into my grandma's house after my parents divorced.

A Horrible Thing Happened Here by KimmieWebb

In April of 1996 my husband and I went to the site of the Oklahoma City bombing to leave flowers and pay respects.

Skeleton Face by twisterwatcher7

The year was 1982 and I was staying the night with my paternal grandmother and grandfather. They lived in a very quaint Bonneville home in Washington Terrace, Utah.

Ghost Above Me by nichole87

This is my first story post on here. My grammar isn't always that great so I apologize. I have always believed in ghost/spirits. This is just one of multiple experiences I have had from a young age. Not sure if I am just sensitive, or what, but every place I have lived has an experience associated w...

Being Followed by moonwolf91

This is my first story but I actually have a lot and I'm happy I've found the site to explain my phenomena and hopefully get some answers. Since I was a child, maybe starting at the age of 8 or 9, I've always felt like something was going on with me, like someone always been with me, but I reall...

The Boy In The Tent by kambersmith

This occurred a few years back. While I have had several paranormal experiences in my life, this one has, by far, had the biggest impact on me. This occurred on a dreary Monday morning. The previous Friday evening I had put up a small tent in my living room, for my kids to "camp" in over the wee...

Standing Right Next To Me by SegaGK

Ever since I was really young, I would have Sleep Paralysis. It would scare me so much that I would be afraid to fall asleep again the next night. It felt like someone was choking me or someone sitting on my chest without being able to breathe. It was an unbearable feeling. It would only last a coup...

Mounting Evidence by Vember

So you know how a lot of people come to the conclusion that they're being haunted when a few minor things happen? They hear a slight knocking... Maybe something is misplaced, and all of the sudden it must be a spirit from beyond trying to make itself known. Most would consider that jumping to conclu...

I Have A New Friend? by ifihadyoux

This story won't be very long because there isn't much to tell but it was a pretty clear encounter that I might be dealing with more than I think I am dealing with. Allow me to explain. Those who have been reading my stories know that there is a man who likes to say hey and never make me breakfast. ...

Little Man In Front Yard by vintageglam

My story took place on a summer day at around 2 pm when I was nine years old. I was in the front yard with two of my siblings. The front yard was huge.

Lady In The White Dress by CanYouKeepASecret

My parents split when I was 5. I moved in with my mother and brother into this small, cozy house. We were still putting our stuff into our rooms and such.
