The Twirler by ryanrowe82

I had just moved to Fort Collins, Colorado with my cousin Josh, whom I shared our apartment with. He had already lived there for some time, but he picked me up in Arizona to go live with him as I was having a hard time adjusting to the current life events that had taken place. I was sitting in t...

The Dripping Wet Shadow by ryanrowe82

This takes place at a house, which was my mom's boyfriend's at the time, in Phoenix. I was lying on the couch in the living room talking to my girlfriend on the phone. The living room was connected to the kitchen by a small 5' x 10' area, which I'm guessing was supposed to serve as a dining room, bu...

Is My Past Catching Up With Me? by GloriaW

I have just recently signed up on this site. I have had experiences my entire life and don't feel as weird after reading the submissions from other people. I have always fought and denied seeing or feeling anything out of the ordinary. My mother passed away when I was 11 but really left a mark on me...

Odd Little Things Happening by strwbryblnd

Nothing much really has happened in the way of encounters but I do believe in ghosts. When my kids were babies I used to hear someone/something hush them to sleep if they were cranky. A few years ago my son's room smelled like cigarette smoke. (He was about 4 years old) I spoke out loud not to sm...

My Companion Alex by DTiger

Warning: This is probably going to be long, so I apologize in advance. I just want to be as detailed as possible with my encounters with Alex.:) Thanks for reading. It all started when I was around six. My mother wasn't exactly the closest person to me, so I was constantly wishing I'd have a frie...

What Stays Behind Me by KyraPanther

Before I tell what my memory recalls, I wish to add that I believe my grandfather resides in my grandmother's home. I've understood what she means, as I think I have seen him once. I recall this to had taken place in the Summer of this year (2012) , in late July. I was in my house, leaning into...

Moving Alarm Clock by alarmscared

My daughter and I have, as of today, lived in our duplex for a year now. Living by myself terrifies me in general, but nothing out of the ordinary has ever happened. My fears are more along the lines of burglars and home invasion than ghosts. The past couple of weeks though, when my alarm clock goes...

My Worst Experienced In My Childhood Home by Mylenium

The house I grew up in, my parents' current home, is haunted. Most of the activity that has occurred happened mostly when I was little. My dad is the one that has experienced paranormal activity the most; my mother a close second catching glimpses of entities as they were walking into other rooms. M...

Ghost Man Or Skinwalker? by Roamer12

I live in Gallup, NM a city surrounded by Native American culture and history. We have many surrounding towns and reservations that have been here for a very long time and many people claim they are haunted. My experience actually takes place right in Gallup on the east side of the city near a v...

Silent Footsteps In The Dark by curious-cat

Let me start by saying that I have a huge interest in reading about paranormal activities. I'm thrilled I found this site and I love getting spooked (but not face to face). I have only encountered two in my life and I don't look forward to coming upon any others. The first time a ghost spooked m...

Evil Doctor by VSangel0309

You guys know me formerly as Elle0309; something happened to my account and I had to create a new one. It has been a long time since something paranormal, or what I perceived as paranormal, has happened to me. Honestly, I prefer it that way. Recently, I traveled to San Angelo, TX, to conduct a s...

The Last Goodbye by Dawniie31

It was maybe a year ago, my beloved Titi (Aunt) died, it was tragic event. My family and I had to go to the funeral, of course. I just couldn't believe she was gone. I never thought that the last time I saw her was the day that I went to her house, she didn't seem well at all, she was coughing a lot...

The Underground Railroad House by hauntedlife19

It all began when I was 7 or 8. My parents wanted to move out to the country so we moved to the outskirts of the small town called Hollansburg. We came up on this house and it was absolutely beautiful, like one of those houses you see in books that everyone wants to live in. We went inside and looke...

I Heal by Kryodrache

This story happened a while ago... Maybe 5 to 7 months ago, I forget exactly when. It was right before I started to have some real issues here at home, problems that have recently begun to fix themselves. It's a fairly short story, but it really stuck out to me, simply because of how unusual it was....

Missy by Baikeru

We only lived in Alamogordo for three weeks. Wayne's job didn't exactly work out. Turns out the boss was a sexist, racist person. Long story short, Wayne (and therefore my sisters) is half-Mexican. The boss didn't know this because you don't do a job interview by saying. "Hi. I am Wayne. I have mana...

Life In The Country by Baikeru

In 1999, my family (my stepfather, my mom, my four sisters, and I) moved out into the country outside of Merkel, Texas (my little brother came along a few months later. Actually, he's the reason we moved out there. We'd been living in a cramped apartment, and my stepfather always wanted to live in t...

My Little Black Cat Herman by ImissmyHermanBaby

I recently lost my all-black kitty named Herman. He was struck by a car one week ago today. My husband and I buried him in the back yard in a shaded area on the edge of our property. We were both grief stricken. I couldn't do anything but cry for a whole day. That night when I finally fell aslee...

Great Grandmimi by SlatchBGore

Several years ago in my old house, my little brother (whom was only about 3 years old) was taking a bath. I was asking my mom something as she was helping my brother get out of the tub. I saw him stare over my shoulder and smile with excitement. At first I didn't notice how he wasn't looking directl...

Constant Activity by slingshot0097

I'm sorry if this might be too long. My experiences have been happening since the early 1990's. My first visual of something "strange" was of a figure. A full figure but all black. I watched (as well as the cat on my lap watched) the reflection of this figure in a mirror on the wall, get up and w...

Mrs. Morris by Andrea22

Around the time that I was born, my parents were offered a house in Indiana. A friend of my father offered to let us use it. The friend said he would pay the rent as long as we took care of it. This friend, his mother had recently died in that house. A lot of his mother's belongings were still store...

Queen Mary Aft Elevator by akafatkid

Over the past 15yrs I have visited the Queen Mary Long Beach on multiple occasions. I liked to board the ship at night. I would go in the hotel entrance and tell them I was going to the lounge for cocktails. They would let me aboard with no questions asked, even though I was not of legal drinking ag...

The Ghost And The Elevator by IrishCossack

In the early 1990s I worked as a custodian at a hospital in Sacramento, California. Shortly before having been hired, there had been an accident involving one of the elevators. An employee had stepped into the elevator on the top floor. She became trapped between the doors when they suddenly closed....

An Odd Ability Of Strengths And A Follower by hollowveins

I have always had spiritual sense. Just able to sense when they're near. I see them on occasion, but I do things so I won't have too. I always lived in Arizona, where throughout my life I saw shadow people. My first encounter that I can recall was when I was 7, I saw a man with some fancy hat stan...

Lost Wedding Ring, Appears In Very Visible Place by Lockport_1880

A few days ago, my wife lost her wedding ring. I felt very sick to my stomach, sad and even somewhat betrayed that she hadn't taken better care of it. We searched all over the house and could not find it. Today, I came home late at night after classes and she was coming back from picking our son up ...

Two Spirits And A Gift Received by ryanrowe82

Kind of funny to say that I have received this gift, but the truth is, as far as I know, I have. I'm going to get to how I received this gift, but first I should share the story and the background leading up to that point to express all the information that I already have. Back in 2007 I moved i...

Is It Me Or The House? by webbie

I am the first owner of my residence. My house was built in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina destroyed my prior residence. The land the house was built on was woods and never had a structure on it before mine. This August makes 7 years of residing in my home, however, for 6 of those years I have had par...

A Residual Haunting From A Tragic Death? by chimchim

Years ago my mom and I rented a house. It was a three bedroom house and there were only the two of us. My mom suggested I take the master bedroom. Now, I wasn't really thrilled about the master bedroom because it had two architectural/design features I hate--mirrored closet doors and a toilet I can ...

Something Watching Me by chimchim

I lived in Texas for three years when I was a teenager. My grandmother had moved there in the 1950s because my mom needed orthopedic care (she had had polio as a little girl) and my mom's surgeon had moved to Texas. So our family literally followed him. When they grew up my mom and her sisters moved...

Glowing Blue Eyes? by ilovesoccer95

My family used to live in a home in Madison county Idaho. I was very young at the time, maybe 6 or 7. This is one of my most vivid memories from my childhood and it still makes me nervous when I'm alone. My family and this house have a history of experiences like mine and I think they could be relat...

8 Year Old Seeing Ghosts And Shadow People by Laynaryan

For the longest time my daughter will not stay in a room by herself. I was getting tired of it and was going to take her to see a therapist to help her out, because this has been going on for about a year. About a month ago she told me why: about a month ago before the reason we were at my mother's ...

Grim Reaper On Pacheco Pass by pinktherapist

After being laid off from my job as a School Counselor two years ago, I started doing in home sales parties to make some extra money. Usually the parties were local and I didn't have to drive more than about a half an hour from our home near Fresno, CA. One evening, however, I was going to do a part...

My 911 Ghost Is Back by sherm784

I previously published a story on here about a possible ghost in my apartment in New York on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Today (9/11/12), again something crazy spooky happened. I had tried to sleep really heavy because I have a long day. The fact it's the anniversary of 9/11 was not on my m...

Whispering by jennysue35

Crazy On The Couch by matsaw

I recently posted a story on here titled The New Resident. That story happened to me years ago but this one only happened a few months ago. It gets pretty hot here in Boise, Idaho in the summer, so my air is constantly running. My house has central heat but I don't have central air so I have a h...

Orb Connection With My Children by mamasita

I have a few different stories over the years, and will share those later. For now I 'd like to share a couple of experiences I have had recently with two out of three of my children. But first off, I have a question concerning orbs in pictures. I have had quite a few of those including one pictur...

Succubus Or... What? by Cam-0

Alright here it goes, I'm a 17 year old guy and I'm wondering whether or not I have a Succubus on my hands or not. It all started about a month ago. I'm being me laying in bed thinking about random things before I fall asleep when I start to feel this "electric buzz" if you will on my legs. It then ...

Footsteps In the Bathroom by VioletWillows

I was at school one day, and I really, really, needed to use the bathroom. There was just one problem with that - I was on the sixth floor, and nobody uses the sixth floor girls' bathroom because rumors had it it was haunted, and I wanted no part of that. But this was urgent - I needed the toilet ve...

Malevolent Entity? by Annabellee

These are things which took place in my current home.

Unknown Hospital Watcher by SeanTrender

In January of 2012 I had to stay in a hospital in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio for a week following a procedure. By the third or fourth day I was able to get around by myself more without assistance. It was about two or three in the afternoon. I got the go-ahead to take a shower and decided I wanted to...

A Positive Spirit Board Experience... I Think? by SnudtoQueast

I'd like to come right out and say; I've heard all the bad stories about horrifying experiences with Ouija boards, the ones that are cautionary tales against using them. I think, however, that if you take proper precautions, there should be no harm in it. If something wants to get to you, it will fi...

My Incubus Experience by Chels8888

Let me state first before anything else that this story is not to get attention. I see stories of incubus encounters in many places, and I see many people think of them very negatively. I am here to share my own story that isn't negative, but rather very positive. It started a little less than a ...

Mobile Home Haunting by strwbrryshrtck2012

I lived in a mobile home about 4 years ago in Cleveland Tennessee, it was a new trailer so why this happened no one in my family knows. We had strange things happen in there.

Voodoo People At Work by emily12

Back in the 90's I used to work in a small second hand clothing store on lower East side of Manhattan. At the end of a regular working day me and my coworker, who is also one of my closest friends to this day, had closed the store and were counting the days till. We had turned off the lights in t...

A New Haunting by JustanotherTori

This is my 4th post on this site. My other posts dealt with my friend Samantha (who is doing wonderful after her move by the way. So far no problems) and the Crescent Hotel. This one, however, deals with me. I'm not sure if I would say I have a ghost. I've never had anything really paranormal happen...

Blue Man On Chest by Matthew7019

I was living in Richfield, WI in my parents basement. I was 22 at the time and never really believed in ghosts before that summer night. We do live across the street from a graveyard and my cousin who stayed with me in the basement had complained to me about the "noise" our house made. He would hear...

A Guardian From Beyond by Blinky

This happened to me about a handful of times when I was in about 11th grade. If you have experienced mind numbing, painful, paralyzing terror than you will be able to relate to what I am about to recount. If you haven't my advice would be to try and remember a time in your life when you might have b...
