Growling In My House by lorraineone

I was a true skeptic. I've since changed my views. I'm not here to frown upon others experiences, but many stories I've read can be chalked up to vivid imaginations from explainable occurrences. I've had many questions concerning what was happening in my home and always made excuses as to what they ...

Spirit's Playmate by Gr1msy13

When I was a junior in high school I met a girl and we will call her "Jane" to protect her privacy. At the time we were talking via IM and the like. Long story short, we ended up dating. She was a believer as well. Myself, I believed but needed proof on everything. I got my proof in the end. Jane...

My Grandson, Timothy by Wondering1

Several months ago, I submitted a story about events that occurred while my husband and I were remodeling our house. (Did we wake up Ghosts?) This story is related to that but concerns my grandson, Timothy. At the time he was about two or three years old. (He's 7 now, and doesn't remember anything a...

The Presence That Haunts Me by Beccas_Shadow

Ever since I was a little girl I've always seen things others couldn't. I specifically remember 3 incidents that have forever haunted the back of my mind. The one that really sticks with me, is when I was laying in my bed and I looked over to my doorway, only to see this huge, black, tall figure sta...

Glowing Pawprints by HoneyEyedGirl

These experiences took place after my dog (Weimaraner), Max, died from an unknown cause. I was pretty young so I didn't really understand why he had to go, but I was still rather distraught. The first thing that happened after Max died, probably around after my parents had to put him down, was w...

The White Lady That Haunted My Childhood by HoneyEyedGirl

Before I start I figured I should give you a little background, the house that I've had these experiences in was newly built for our family when I was born in 1994, so no one has died in the house. Although I was told our house was built on old farm land along with 3 other houses. The farm house sti...

The Pretty Girl by SkufuiS

My name is Christian and I am 24 years of age and currently work at the Comfort Inn & Suites in the city of Long Beach, CA. My job is pretty cool and I have been here for three years. It once stood as the International Inn. This hotel has a hidden history and sometimes unregistered guests occupy ...

14 Years Of Experience. But For What? by EternalEmotions107

Even skeptical parents can raise children who are believers. I haven't doubted any experience I've ever had in my short life. The various experiences I've... Experienced, are all true and happening at different times over the years. Do they all weave together? I don't know. Due to the TRUTH behind t...

Dark Shadowy Figure by vivian678

When I was young (pre-k to grade school) I used to see and hear things that no one else could hear in my house. The house I lived in as a child was built after WW2, and I don't know for sure if it was haunted or just an old house. I used to hear random noises throughout the house when I was alon...

House In The Woods by Phantom380

This took place many years ago. I won't state exactly how many but it may or may not have been in the spring of 1945. (My grandson showed me this site and let me use his account to tell my story.) Growing up in rural New Jersey there was a crumbling neighborhood in my town that was set back in the o...

House Hopping by kbc_95

This all started in Newport, AR when I was only six years old (I'm currently seventeen). This first part was told to me by my grandmother who is the biggest skeptic you will ever meet when it comes to believing in 'ghosts'. My great grandfather (on my mom's side) died years before I was born and...

Evp by Sassylil14u

My keyboard is not working. I have been having all kinds of weird occurrences in this house, such as, lights popping on, doorbell going off and no one there, feelings of being watched and a friend telling me I had a ghost or 2 here. My daughter basically acted possessed one night so I decided to ...

Grandpa Ignacius... The Clown: by MsWrestlersGhost

This is the story of how my favourite Grandpa, my mum Annalissa's dad, and how he still let's me know he's still around and loves me. Even though he died some 15 years ago this year. Due to overwhelming tears with my prior stories, I am issuing a "Tissue Alert". I don't want a flood warning to co...

The Farnsworth In Gettysburg by polarage

I have plenty of ghostly encounters stories that I could tell, but this one is by far my favorite, since I also caught this spirit on camera without realizing it. My best friend called me one day in July of 2006. She knew I was very much interested in ghosts and the afterlife. So she told me about t...

Beloved Pet Dove Visits After 3 Years by Brian

I am a doctor and work in an elementary school. Recently as I was climbing the inside steps of the school I unexpectedly felt a bird land on my right shoulder. Even though I could feel the bird and the breeze from that of flapping wings, I could not see one. I knew this bird was Francis, a pet Ring-...

Am I Cursed? Blessed? by luna17

For a while I've been having strange things happen, but I didn't pay attention to them I don't know exactly why but about 18 months ago I began to believe something was bad was happening. I moved with my mother to an apt. Things were fine but on the 3rd day there was a strong smell of paint thinn...

Ghostly Tenants by newhunter30

This story takes place in a different residence than my other story. I live with my wife and three 3 kids. I have a 1 year old daughter, a 6 year old son and a 7 year old daughter, all who have had encounters with spirits. This will mostly be in regards to my son but there will be some things that t...

Lingering Souls In The Old Beach House by Phantom380

This story is a 100% true account of my paranormal encounters and those of my family and I with ghosts that manifest themselves very clearly. Growing up, my family shared a very old beach-house on the Jersey Shore (it's nothing like the show so don't even go there) with a nice old woman named Doroth...

Permanent Resident by pookeybug2235

Here's my story: Last year I moved into a new house and after the first week I started hearing footsteps when I was home alone. My roommate and my boyfriend just thought I was crazy. They even told me so, but it became more constant. I always heard it in the room above mine. It was an empty room tha...

Can I Use Your Computer? by SparklinBurgndy

Years ago I rented a small studio apartment in Crawfordsville, Indiana. The building went back to 1900 and had served a number of purposes before being made into apartments. In the laundry room in the basement you could still see where an indoor pool had been filled in with concrete. Essentially,...

Was It A Warning Of Death? by LouisianaBelle

My story begins in November 1995, On Thanksgiving day my godmother was rushed to the emergency room because she was not feeling well. Once at the hospital things went down hill fast and she was admitted into ICU and put on life support to help her breathe because she was having trouble breathing on ...

Silly Faces From The Other Side by LouisianaBelle

This is my first time sharing. Hope you guys enjoy. It was March 2009, two weeks after my father had passed away from from a chronic illness. My children were two and three at the time and I was putting them down for a nap when they just starting laughing and giggling. Well I was trying to settle...

What Made Me A Believer by Rachel_4

For starters, after this I have become a firm believer in the paranormal. I'm now 14 and have had many experiences. My first one was when I was 8 or 9 years old. Then I thought people were joking with me about ghosts and just trying to scare me. Soon I would be wrong and then I had no idea... I ...

House Making It Hard To Remain A Skeptic by m15terp1nk

I'm going to start by mentioning I am a skeptic. Not to say that I don't believe paranormal occurrences can take place I just try to find the most rational explanation first. The house I live in is making it hard to deny the fact that there is something wrong here. The earliest occurrence I can ...

Khan's Return - My Horse's Love by MsWrestlersGhost

After reading stories on this site for nearly two years, I thought it was time to join up and write down a few experiences of my own for you to hopefully enjoy. It's been a while since I have written things like this down so I hope you won't have too many hassles reading and hopefully enjoying what ...

Warnings by grace01

First, I want to thank you for choosing this experience to read! Okay, so it was the Summer of May 2011 and my Uncle was very sick and had to have open heart surgery. We weren't sure he would make it, and he did through the first one. They had to go back and do another one but he didn't want them to...

Little Girl In White Night Gown by dwright0508

In October of 2011 I woke up one morning at around 3am. I could not move or talk. I was able to move my eyeballs. I could see in the doorway of my bedroom a little girl that looked to be about 7 years of age, with long dark brown or maybe black hair, wearing a white night gown (almost looked like an...

I Have A Ghost Attached To Me by Darrilynn

I have a ghost attached to me. Let me just make a long story short. I'm a psychic and my room mate is a medium. Together we're dynamite, as in, together, we have stronger abilities and can sense, feel, touch, hear, and communicate better with spirits. As someone who doesn't have these abilities, ac...

Four Legged Dark Creature by cfelix1422

During my senior year of high school, I would normally sleep real late into the night. Since my room was on the second floor, it provided me with the privacy I needed, without any one disturbing my conversations. I was a teenager who enjoyed talking on the phone with friends, and calling from bed wa...

Rock House by 19funsize91

When I was younger about 10-13 or 14 my family had lived in a house my step mom had inherited from her parents after her father's death and her mom due to the memories not wanting to live there anymore. The house was old, having been there since the Civil War Era and needed quite a few repairs. My f...

Spirit Impersonating My Mother? by Leslie81

This happened in 1996, when I was 15. In the house we were living in, my bedroom opened up to a hall. It was also the last room before the kitchen. My father went to work at least a couple hours earlier, so he already gone. So my mother and I were the only ones home. I was in my bed. It was set u...

Little Girl In My Basement by ghosthunter102

This all started about four years ago when I was 15. The first experience I had with the ghost in my basement was when I was sitting on my computer when no one else was home. The television had been turned off so it was just a black screen. Out of the corner of my eye and in the black of the TV scre...

Contact With An Unwanted Spirit by sweetsiren

One morning I was lying in my bed awake, but I still had my eyes closed and was resting in bed. As I was lying on my left side, I felt pressure over my body as if someone or something was leaning on/over me. Simultaneously, I heard a screaming sound in my right ear that became maniacal laughter. It'...

A Hanging Woman? by MachineGunLola

I'm pretty scared about all this. I've been living in this apartment for a few months now, and at first nothing out of the ordinary happened. But for at least a month now, I've been hearing whispers when I'm in bed (this has happened a lot over the past few years) and when I'm sometimes simply walki...

What Did I See? by Wondering1

About 10 years ago when my daughter was around 16, she's my middle child, she has an older sister and younger brother, I saw something that I haven't been able to explain fully. The reason that I mention my daughter, her name is Brittany, is because I feel like I would never have seen this thing if ...

How Do I Get Rid Of It? by NightKunoichi

I've posted a story previously, I'm not sure if this is the same spirit or something different but here goes. Things had quieted down for a while and then I got this new phone that I downloaded this app onto. It's called Ghost Detector and it, essentially has a detector radar (I'm not sure how accur...

Smoky Spirit by alandhopewell

This was about the mid-seventies, about seventy-five or six. I was downtown in Lorain, about eleven in the morning. I was walking south, heading in the general direction of home, after a morning appointment. In those days, there was still some foot traffic on Broadway during business hours, as ...

Poltergeist Likes Moving My Body Parts by mooglebooboo

Whenever I can't sleep I can hear something leaning on my bed. I could hear the sound from the mattress. I would stay perfectly still and my legs and arms would move on its own. If I slept on my side, something would push me and try to wake me up so I always sleep on my back. I always hide my han...

The Underwood Devil? by spookyme401

I have seen the devil, I think. It's going to sound strange I know, but this really happened to me. When I was young, about 10 years old, I was with my grandmother driving all around town looking for some Halloween costume and was having a problem locating a store with anything worth a damn. Finally...

The First House That I Can Remember by CAyer

I've moved around a lot during my life. And many times I have noticed weird things. This is the first home I have memory of. I was there from age four until age nine. I lived in a two story apartment in Brentwood, and not much ever seemed out of the ordinary. Except the upstairs of the house. Mainly...

The Ghost Under The Bed by NasCudi

When I was younger, I used to live in a house that had 4 bedrooms. One for me, one for my grandparents, one for my mom, and the other was a spare room but since my "Great Grandma" used to stay over a lot, we named it "Great Grandma's Room" (she passed away years before). For some ODD reason, my gran...

Who's In My House? by girlie

There are too many things going on in my house right now to remember them all. So this story may be continued in other posts later on. It started about two or so weeks ago. My friend B, who was the friend who join me in the creepy old house story awhile back was at my house again. Usually the weir...

Spirits Playing With My Grandson? by happygrammy3612

It all started a couple of months ago. I was awoken by the sound of my grandsons' music box playing rather loudly. Of course, being the light sleeper in my old age, I sprang to my feet and rushed to his room. He was fast asleep and no where near his music box. I thought it was odd since he was at on...

Dead Bolted Door Opened On Its Own by cori81

Our company has been located at our Richmond, Virginia office building for almost 15 years. For years (as long as we can remember), we've felt a "presence" in the office -- especially at night time. We heard all of the creepy sounds of someone walking around, the banging noises, etc. We've seen the ...

Suddenly Cold by branson65

I had heard of cold spots when a spirit was present, but I had my doubts as to whether or not this was true. Now, I believe. My mother passed away a little over a year ago, in early November. I reside in Lubbock, Texas, and my mother and sister were in Joplin, Missouri. My mother, 92 years o...

Creepy Experiences? by Biggs0341

My name is Tony and I live in Sylvania, Ohio within Toledo. Just to start I've always been a believer in ghosts, spirits, demons, etc. But just last night I think my question to them existing has been answered. Last night or early this morning I got poked relatively hard on my forehead. I live w...

Intelligent Haunting? by AMC2012

My family and I moved into a newly built apartment 6 months ago, But stuff just started happening 3 weeks ago. First time something happened: I got done watching a movie. It was around 11pm. My kids were asleep in their beds. I had all the lights off and the TV on. Got up and used the bathroom, ...

Broken Man by MeganSierra

It's been awhile since I've posted here, mostly because life has gotten in the way. But it seems no matter how busy I get, I still find time to be haunted. See, I used to be terrified of ghosts. And I'm not going to lie, they still frighten me. But recently I've found peace with the deceased, and...

Strange And Unusual Happenings For Me by kariorit

I currently live in rural Kentucky, and we've been at this residence for the past 7 years. It was a home placed on the vacant land; as far as I know there has never been any home on it before. I don't know the history of the land, however. Let me say first off, I am not usually a bit sensitive. I...

Is This My Grandfather? by PsychologyMelon

I just wanted to share some of my experiences and hopefully gain some insight into what could be happening. I want to start out by saying I am by no means "gifted" but I have experienced several things since I was little, that other people have seen as well. The first story I want to tell however is...
