My Friend Carly by sassygrl84

I was about 5 years old when I had my first experience. I lived in a two story house with my mom, dad and older sister. (We lived in southwest Ohio.) One night I could not sleep so I sneaked downstairs and turned on the tv. I made sure the volume was turned down. (Did not want to get busted. Lol) I ...

My Dad's Friend by d2424

This happened to my dad in the late 70's early 80's. My dad was sitting at the kitchen table talking to one of my cousins about one of his friends who drowned in a lake. He said when he mentioned his friend's name "closet door opened and out walked his friend." My dad was in shock when he told him t...

The Little Girl In The Pool Room by iloveyou21

I live in Los Angeles and as you may know, there is a supposedly haunted ship called The Queen Mary. Anyway, I went to this ship on a tour, not really expecting anything to happen. Well, the guide took us down to the pool room, where many of the guests that used the ship in the 50's and 60's swa...

Little Girl Attached To Me? by WestCoastPrince

This started about two years ago. What had happened was me, my cousin, and my mom had passed out on the couch watching a movie. In the middle of the night I had I woken up for no apparent reason. I realized that it was freezing (I know this is a common sign of spirits), and it was summer time in Cal...

My Mirror Experience by TalonWalt

In 2011 my boyfriend and I bought a home together. Shortly after moving in, I was expecting an important phone call. One morning I woke up to see the message light blinking on my phone.

The First Time by TannerRae

I've been seeing ghost since I can remember. So I'm going to start with very first time seeing a ghost and the experiences that my family had as well in the same building.

My Mother's House In Springville by shandi

From the time I was young I have always heard what sounded like my mother calling my name, usually this happened when she wasn't even home. When she was home she would deny that she had been calling my name. When I was in the fourth grade we moved to a house in Springville, UT right up the stree...

A Breather by DuskCruse

I have always been interested in things paranormal, fiction or true. Occasionally I would hope I would encounter something paranormal myself, and now I believe that I have. I live in a one hundred and thirteen year old house. My room is a "Man cave" that has nothing but merchandise and drawings. ...

Little Girl At My Window by MissQuake

This all started around six months ago. It happened on the outskirts of Chicago, Illinois. It happened at night like it always does, and I was alone, like I always am when this happens. I was sitting here in my living room simply watching TV as I usually do, when all of a sudden I hear a little ...

Scary Abraham Lincoln by unsure32

I will always remember this night for the rest of my life. I must of been around 7 years old. This night I woke up hearing footsteps in the kitchen. The kitchen was the next room to my bedroom. We had a huge kitchen. It was a square and on one side of the kitchen was my brother's room as well. A...

He Was Always Watching Me by SweetSelinda

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I had many ghost experiences since I was a little girl. I can see things no one else can and also hear things. I can be alone and I always felt there was someone watching me. Now let's get on with the story. About 4 years ago me and my family moved into ...

Ptsd... Or Something Else? by Joelle-Marie95

Let me just give a little background info for starters. I'm an 18 year old girl, currently dealing with some heavy stuff. My Papa (grandfather) had passed away in '08 when I was 13. My father walked out on the family when I was just a few months old, so my Papa had basically raised me as his own l...

The Intruder by webbie

This experience happened to me when I was 16 years old. I used to live in an old home in a small town. The house had wooden floors in every room except the kitchen, which had linoleum flooring. The front door was directly lined with the back door because the house was a rectangle shape and the backd...

Banshee And Other Encounters by rockergurl227

So all my life I have been a little sensitive. Feeling vibes in certain rooms, getting that "Gut" feeling about something. Even having dejavu occurring a lot. Just a lot of different experiences. The one thing I remember clearly as a child is hearing my name, as clear as day, usually followed by ask...

Our Duplex- Continuation by MandyyNicole

I recently submitted story about the occurrences in my home (thank you to those who commented, I apologize for my belated response!), unbelievably, I left out a piece of possible evidence.

Smell Of Flowers by gman51

This is an account of the passing of my wife at our home. I got home around 1 AM and found my wife slumped over onto the couch and she was dead. I called the EMS, and upon seeing her they called the JP which pronounced her time of death. I noticed a very strong smell of flowers like you smell whe...

Final Goodbyes by soul_shine

I recently submitted a story titled "Lingering Great Grandparents" about my house. I neglected to mention one of the more strange things that have happened. On one occasion, I was laying in my bed when my television turned on. Only it was just really loud static, as if a VCR had been left on or some...

I Love You, Grandpa Al by sweatseveryday

When I was seven years old my grandpa died. He wasn't just my grandpa, he was also my best friend. We'd do everything together! Go get donuts, eat our meals together, walk to the park, build Lego cities, and much more fun memories I'll never forget. So when my grandpa passed away in his sleep I was ...

Country Road by pmadison

I came across this site after we had moved out of our house. I just wanted to share the experiences that happened to me and my family. If you are curious about the house the street name is the title and from my descriptions of the house it should be easy to find it out on Google maps. Well I hope yo...

Touching Ghost And Text Messages Related? by webbie

Last night I went to my bedroom, tired and ready for sleep but once I laid in bed, my mind was energized and couldn't fall asleep.

My New House Might Be Haunted... Part 2 by hunting_for_answers_

I was telling some of my friends about all the things that had happened to me in the past and what is happening to me now, and one of them had an interesting theory.

Something Passing Through? by VSAngels

I've always believed in ghosts. I've been a fan of learning about them and I find them so interesting. I'd never seen one. I have very high senses on certain things and major deja vu which I believe sometimes could let me pick up things other can't. My mother is also this way! I've lived in my home ...

When A Demon Shows Itself by Perhaps

I am an eternal skeptic. I believe in things such as God, angels, demons, etc... But when it comes to ghosts and such, I tend to be on the fence. I am a spiritual person and can feel good and evil... Even just by walking into a room. But I am undecided about "ghosts" of people who have died. I hop...

Spinning Bible by Tuesdey

February 2013 I entered a homeless shelter. I'm living there still, but some events that followed my attendance have me a little on edge. Since I moved back to Melbourne, my mother has tried getting involved with me for the first time in my life. I lived with her up until I was 16 and my "dad" to...

The Demon Knife by justlisten

This story happened last year. I was dating a new guy and he was introducing me to ghosts and all this stuff.

It so happened that was al...

Lingering Great Grandparents by soul_shine

I live in a house built in 1940 by my great grandfather. It has been lived in by family since the passing of my great grandparents.

Was It Just A Dream Or Was It Real? by xxelainedenisexx

I was 16 years old when it happened. It was late at night and I was in my room, sleeping. After a long day from school and doing loads of homework, I thought I deserved a hard earned nap. All was well... The house was so quiet; everyone else was asleep. Even the neighbors across the street were quie...

Demon Girl by sweatseveryday

Unlike my mom, my dad has never been very supportive with me and my problems with the supernatural. There was a time when I use to spend 3 days a week at his house, I dreaded going to his house because of the girl with the black hair I constantly saw at his house. She would wake me from my sleep in ...

Screaming Lady by sweatseveryday

Not too long ago my entire family shared a paranormal experience. We had all been sleeping, and out of nowhere this toe-curling cry seemed to be resonating from within the house. It continued for at least 5 minutes, and by then my sister, my cousin (who lives with us), and I had all gotten up and as...

Goodbye Visits Shows Distance Never Made You Distant by Neverland_Natalia

Last night I was up late studying for AP testing when something strange happened. It was about 2am and I was totally consumed by my studies when a sudden loud noise interrupted my focus.

At first,...

Everything Is Going To Be Alright by CuriousKitten

For years I've grown used to hearing voices either talking to each other or acknowledging me when I'm about to fall asleep or just waking up. When it happens I can hear the voices clearly, but never really tell what they were saying and I always could get this feeling of how many people were there a...

Saint Seraphina? by exit51wareagle

I'm pretty sure my daughter is "friends" with St. Fina. She talks about her and Seraphina all the time and tell us that Seraphina is a princess. What an odd name for a 4 year old to randomly come up with. I didn't know anything about Saint Seraphina until I googled it. The only thing I came up w...

Who's Calling? by valkricry

Back in the early 80's, I lived in a farm house that had been converted into an upper and lower apartment. We hadn't lived in the upper apartment very long, maybe a couple of months, when I began to hear an odd phone ring: 3 short rings followed by a long ring. This was not the sound our phone made....

Little Girl In My Basement Part 3 by ghosthunter102

When I was 17, I traveled with my dad To Metter, GA during summer vacation to visit one of the family farms. About a year before my visit our Pa Pah passed away, leaving frequent proofs of his current existence. For example, my 3 year old cousin pointed out the window one morning shouting "Pa Pa!...

Are They Mad? by jennfelber

I have lived in my house now for 8 years with my husband and 3 children, we know our house is haunted, we have always heard strange noises, voices, things missing etc. Our ghosts or spirits have never been violent or scary and we have learned to cohabitate, but for the last year we noticed that when...

Can It Be? Maybe? No... But Yes by m4dm1nnes0tan

Something happened to my dearest of friends, or more like an aunt. I have always known her and her awesome family since I was a baby (she was a friend to my parents). I'm around the same age as her grandchildren, so when I heard of her passing, it hit me real hard. (Plus I didn't hear about her pass...

How It Happened by Tuesdey

The summer of 2012 may have possibly been the most difficult months of my life.

Jessica by cptnpat

When I lived in St Paul MN. I was married and my son was only 2 1/2 - 3 years old. My wife was pregnant and it was a happy time.

Peachtree Industrial Blvd. And Winters Chapel Rd. Exit by scarlettsnowe

Right about four years ago, between 2009-2011, I lived in Norcross, Ga. I owned 2 dogs- a boxer mix and a shetland sheepherder. Their names were Liberty and Justyce. I loved to walk with them from my apartment just off of Jonesmill Rd down to Winters Chapel Rd. And, despite the fact that there and b...

The Watching Buddha by EHauss

When I was a younger, I grew up in a home that practiced two religions. My sisters and I would regularly go to a Lutheran church on Sundays, while my mother, who was Buddhist would go to "temple" on the weekends as well. What I mean by "temple" is that in my small home town there was no dedicated Bu...

New Housemate Alters House by Saille

I have a rather odd experience to relate. In September of 2011, a friend of mine that had been living out of state for the past twelve years returned to New York. We made an agreement that he could stay with me and help with the bills of my home and such. It was not a smooth transition; he arriv...
