What Has Been Happening Since My Last Submission by hippiesiren

As I have said in previous stories, strange things have been happening most of my life, however, since I began acknowledging them, I've begun to notice more. I'm going to combine a few experiences in this story, so I'm sorry if this takes up a lot of time to read. I'd really appreciate it if someone...

The Man In The Bathtub by reneemarie29

When I was two years old, my mother used to set me on the counter in the bathroom while she did her makeup and hair to keep an eye on me in the mornings. She said I often liked to make faces in the mirror and giggle at myself, like a normal toddler. However, one morning, she said I was looking into ...

Im Starting To Think I'm Haunted by kdw7222

So this starts out when I was about 8 in Fountain Colorado... I laid awake on my side one night in the living room "camping out" and felt incredibly uneasy and had a cold tingly sensation when it felt like someone had just touched my shoulder. No one was around so I brushed it off. A couple of weeks...

The Invisible Roommate by Parabol

I was talking to my mom while I was helping her make our Thanksgiving dinner and the conversation got to the house she had just moved out of two weeks ago. We all strongly believe that the house is haunted, though we believe the spirit (s) to be benevolent since s/he never did anything all that thre...

What Is Going On? by Sam222

READ THIS FIRST: (please) Recently (a couple of weeks ago), I began keeping track of things (so they can be more understandable and organized). I wrote what happened while it was fresh in my mind, and the date and time. Before I began keeping track, there were multiple things that happened, rece...

Dark Shadow Figure by queenie

In February of 2011, I was laying on my bed about to fall asleep because I was feeling really exhausted that day. I was a couple of months pregnant at that time. I had felt a strange quietness to my room, like someone was in there watching me, but I just blew it off and didn't think anything of it, ...

My Experiences In My Childhood Home by Brittani1123

This is my first post here! So I decided I would just go through all my personal experiences that I can remember. These are in no particular order, I'm just going to write them as they come to me. (Some names have been changed to protect people's identities) My parents divorced when I was pretty...

Something Was Outside My Window by AtariFarari

I'm 19 years old and my experiences with the paranormal have been an ongoing ordeal in my life. However, this particular story took place in the Summer of 2011 (when I was 16) and 2012 (17). It was around 12:30 am when I jumped out of my bed and ran to my bathroom, for no reason. I stood at my ba...

The Llorona In Long Beach, Ca by rolanomota

It was the weekend after Thanksgiving, Saturday, around 3:00am 2011. My sister and I were watching movies on Netflix enjoying our days off due to the holiday. Everyone was sleeping because after all it is very early in the morning. All of a sudden we began to hear a moan/crying coming from a woma...

Our Creepiest Vacation by PortiaTrinabel

Me and my friend, had a vacation on Rome, Italy last 2010. We checked in the hotel named, "Hotel Castello Della Castelluccia", it was really fancy and a little bit expensive. We heard rumors about the hotel being haunted, but we don't believe such as ghosts, so we didn't mind it. Our first night ...

Thanks For Stopping By, Dad by GoGently

In the mid-1990s my husband and I had a "commuter marriage," living about 200 miles apart while he attended university and I started my career. I lived alone in a small cabin in a rural central Utah community. "Pony walls," about the height of a kitchen counter, divided the cabin interior into kitch...

Unexplainable by njswan7

I used to live in a bigger town, I lived in a mobile home with my family. My mom, dad and brother who is younger then I. Before I had a cell phone which is like 8 years ago, I had a home phone that was cordless. It was very late at night, and usually I would call my bestfriend and we would talk to b...

Hallucination Or Reality? by luciddreamerxo

I just moved in with my boyfriend a year ago, and ever since I moved in with him, I have the feeling that our bedroom is haunted. Our bedroom is located on the "third floor" of our house, which really should just be called an attic. It's spacious and quite nice actually. But after only a few days of...

The Experiences Of My Youth by ramble

I want to start by saying that I am for the most part skeptical of many paranormal claims. I personally feel that it is something people use because they want there to be more. That being said I have experienced things of the 'paranormal' variety. I am inclined to believe certain stories, things goi...

The Christmas Spirit - My Mother's Story by valkricry

Although my mother would not say she believed in ghosts, she would not deny their existence either, as she put it, "Just in case one is listening and decides to give proof." How ever she was not without her own experiences as the following account shows. It was Christmas Eve, 1946 in the projects...

A Day Of Fear by law2020

A number of years ago I was good friends with a girl who, for the sake of storytelling, we'll call T. Now T and I lived in an old, small town in Connecticut. T's house was set on a very large piece of land that also had an abandoned building and an old barn turned garage. We must have been about...

Haunted Apartments In Knoxville Iowa by Darkstorm360abe

My name is RJ, and I am about 13 years old. Me and my family stayed at my grandma's apartment for a while. Now when I was a baby we lived there, things always fell off shelves and things would move around and roll around randomly. The first thing that I remember is that we had a cat with a capita...

Hello Woods by ifihadyoux

I am here to share a short encounter of what happened since Halloween night. This might sound confusing so please bear with me. I am a "coming home" Wiccan, meaning I am new to the religion. Long story as to why I changed but I won't get into that. I met with a local coven who was having classes on ...

A Dark Hovering Presence by RitaCMW

This is the first story I have submitted. I really don't have many experiences that cannot be attributed to coincidence or happenstance, but this one has stuck with me for decades. I was in my 20s, single, living in the Pacific Northwest where I had recently moved with a good friend. My family was f...

My Big Brother Lives On by LBReyes

This is a very personal story, My only older brother died on 10/07/2014,leaving so many unanswered questions and sadness behind, you see he killed himself. In just about 3 weeks before his death something happened to him, and we don't know what and will never know, all we know is that in those last ...

Doppelganger Cats? by Nightwish13

This time I will tell two stories in one since they are short and related. I do not remember specific dates nor do I remember what time of year they happened, so I will just say they happened a few years ago. I know it wasn't more than 6 or 7 years ago. One night I was laying in bed listening to...

Am I Really Sleeping? by rgtoke

My name is Dennis and I have experienced a few paranormal things in my life. This story is just one of the few that I have and hope to share more in the future. I am not really sure how to explain this or what really happened. This happened when I was about 17 years old in 2005. It was cold night...

My Father's First Experience by elnoraemily

Though my father has experienced a lot of activity in his life, this is the first one he ever told me about. This one is fairly short (I have mentioned it briefly on here before) and I tend to forget it in contrast to his other experiences. In the small town he lives in, there are only so many j...

Its Tormented Me My Entire Life by BiigCountryy

Ever since I can remember I have always been terrified in my own house. I live in a small town in Pennsylvania and my house was one of the first built here. My house was a farm house and where the majority of houses are now, used to be the farm. When I was younger I used to have these night terr...

The Big Black Things Pt.2 by skullyturtle

This takes place not too long after my previous story. I was downstairs in my neighbor's basement/game-room as both of my parents were at work, and after my previous experience with the black thing out by my barn, I refused to stay home alone. I probably would have taken my house over this one had I...

He Whispered In My Ear by LayaMcDowell

I have a lot of experiences with the dead. But this one might be far too interesting and unrealistic. I'm unpacking my room, getting comfortable in my new house. It was dark so I was blasting music in my room to get done. I hear a loud crash come from downstairs. I thought it was my mother, so I...

Strange Being In My Apartment by kattgaines

So to start off, I moved into my friend's spare room in her apartment about 5 months ago. The first week I lived there she claimed to have woken up in the morning and saw a dark figure on the ceiling about her bed. The next day she claims to have seen the being again upon waking up. Only this time i...

Second Haunted Mobile Home, Part 2 by StevenTylerRocks

At the end of the first part of this story, I mentioned something that would go past the windows of this mobile home. I don't think it started right when we first moved in, maybe a year later. I'll try to explain the layout of the living room and dining room to give you and idea of where I was se...

Scariest Thing That Happened To Me by Ihavemanystories

Many things have happened to me through my life dealing with paranormal activities, but the two things that I'm about to share were the scariest. First let me explain where I lived. I lived with my grandparents and the house is right in front of a huge, old graveyard. When I was 8 years old (pos...

My Son Met His Great-grandfather by TheCrone

This just happened last week. My husband's family owned a home for a very long time. Several people were born in the house and quite a few died in the house. To our knowledge, my husband's great-grandparents and grandparents all died in the home. As was common, there were 2 babies born in the hom...

What Is Happening? by ifihadyoux

For the past few weeks I have been seeing shadows out of the corners of my eye and tried to write it off as something that my mind is making up so I don't psych myself out. However what happened last night left me scared and it makes me more than happy I am leaving to another state for a week. Pleas...

Was This A Haunted House by irene1214

I cannot recall exactly what age I was when this happened, but it was very young. Young enough to have to jump to reach the light switch. I know that. I shared a room with my sister in a blue collar neighborhood in a smallish town in KY. It was not an extremely old neighborhood or anything, most...

Spirits In The Bedroom by dstan0228

I have bad dreams. Often. As a 12 year old, it wasn't unusual. But I'm 24 now. Although I hadn't had any problems for the last two years, after moving into my own place a month ago, they started again. At first, it was just nightmares. I'd wake up, remind myself I was OK, then fall back asleep. ...

Grandma Came To Say Goodbye by StevenTylerRocks

This experience happened in May of 1979 when I was 15 years old. My maternal grandmother had passed, maybe a week or two before this event. I always loved going to her house as a child and spending the night, she was a wonderful grandma. She had moved to California after her last husband died in 197...

Ghostly Visit by Eliza60

As a Twenty-three year old I knew I had a rational mind, maybe. At that time, I had my first child it was the greatest experience that I ever had. My father was so proud of me. He fell in love with my little girl. When my daughter was six months, I was bathing her, when our phone rang; I had that...

My Nephew's Dog by StevenTylerRocks

My nephew was given a small mixed breed dog when he was around two years old, I'm thinking about 1978 or 1979. His mother named him Benji, but my brother always called him Ralph. Myself, I called him Benji-Ralph. My brothers, my mom, and myself all live on a 160 acre farm that my parents bought i...

Nightmare On Oakwood St: Advice Needed by ShellBell11

I share an apartment with 3 other girls at Eastern Michigan University. We live on the top floor. I moved in about a week before the rest of my roommates and immediately I could hear noises from above. At first I thought that someone was living above me in some sort of attic because of how loud ...

Momma, Who Is That? by lildragoncat

This one happened 7 years ago, give or take a year. We (my husband, two daughters 5, 3 years old, one son 1 year old and I) had some hard times and moved into a small 2 bedroom house. It was a small fixer-upper that had been empty a few years. During the week my husband worked all day and Sarah (5) ...

The Malevolence by mothman

For the past several years now I have experienced a presence in my home. This "presence" makes itself known to me mostly at night time and mostly in one room. When I am in this room I can feel it walking behind me and every part of me says to leave that room. It doesn't cause me any physical harm bu...

Night Terrors That Have Become More by buffyfansc

I've suffered from night terrors since I was 12. I am now 34 and still experince them. I've trained my husband in how to respond to them, and have tricks in dealing with them. I say this to establish that I know how to tell a night terror hallucination is happening. The last few years though I h...

Gettysburg Encounter by djames269

I'd like to start this off by saying I am not a firm believer in the paranormal. Until these accounts occurred, I was blissfully ignorant to any supernatural phenomena. Also, there is roughly a three year gap between two connecting points in the story. About six years ago I attended a class trip ...

Things That Got My Attention by CountingCoups

I'll try my best to put my stories in the best chronological order that I can remember. I've had incidents over the years where unexplained things occurred. The first place that I can think of was at my grandmother's house years back. Although newer than my parents' house right across the road, ...

My Fiance's Experiences by elnoraemily

My fiance grew up in a house his parents built. It was on old ranch land in the local Bosque (wooded area near a river). It was a huge house- five bedrooms upstairs, a huge dining and living area downstairs. It was all tile floors with high ceilings, so sound spread easily through the house. His...

Crouched Under The Desk by Seek

I'm not real sure what my age was, I'm guessing I was about 4 years old. I lived in the house I grew up in, my parents still live there. I really don't think it was haunted, as I have had an experience or two in a lot of the houses I've lived in. I'm no medium, I'm not super in touch with the supern...

Why Is Money Dissapearing? by Rawrimpsykhotik

So in the past year my mom has been telling me that money that she guards is missing, it first started with a sum of $100 and since my uncle was visiting we blamed him because he slept in the room that had the money (which is my parents). A few months later $300 went missing, and my mom always let's...

Old House, Odd Occurrances by mobepi

For back story, I've lived in the house this occurred in for a long time, since I was 5. It was built in 1886 and we've had some contact with previous owners, there were two families that owned it before us, the ones that built it and a family after they moved on that rented it out and completely re...

Constant Rattling by Bonnaroo

Growing up I lived in the middle of the woods. No neighbors for about a mile on each side and we own 60 acres of forest then a swamp after that. So basically I lived in the middle of nowhere. One summer when I was about 14, I was out in the middle of the woods playing with my dog Max (I'm an onl...

The Clown From The Halloween Store by HauntedKatStories

So, this year I went shopping for Halloween decorations. I went to this store called 'Spirit Halloween.' My mom said her friends recommended it. When we went inside, there was a lot of cool, realistic Halloween scares. There was one that I really liked. It was a bloody clown, and when you step on th...

Bill And Charlie by Searching_Stars

This experience I had around the age of 14-15 years old. My best friend I met in high school gym class. At first we didn't like each other for the longest time. She would always pester me and I would ignore her. It was a cycle of sorts. But eventually, after a month of trying, I became friends wi...

Every October by cruzie

Every single house I have ever lived in has had a spirit or two hanging around; I've told my mom that I'm convinced they follow us. We have weird things happen all the time including doors opening, tapping sounds, footsteps, and other typical "haunting" occurrences. What happened two years ago w...
