Ghost stories from South Africa: Page 2

Pulled Out Eyebrows In Terror by Melda

This is my first post to YGS. It has taken me a while to submit this story as I was not sure how to put it all together. I was very young when all my supernatural experiences began and it is difficult for me to write about occurrences which span a number of years of childhood horror and to keep it a...

Back To The Flat by triden07

On the weekend of the 14th of January the kids and I moved out of the house and back in to the flat (the same flat we had lived when they were still babies, and where my grandfather had manifested and terrorised my mother about 2 years ago) The first night there Tim and Elaine slept over (they h...

The Boy Ghost - Can You Give Me A Ride? by KikiGirl

As a rule, I do not drive at night as I live in South Africa and the crime peaks during the late and early morning hours, especially with regards to car high-jackings and burglaries. However, on this particular night, I was making my way home at around 09:30PM and driving alone. I approached a robot...

A Spiritual Physical Encounter by KikiGirl

I was in the middle of one of the worst times in my life. I cannot divulge the information as to why, although I know that type of mystery is frustrating and I am sorry. This what I can tell you. I was living in a house with some people in Johannesburg, South Africa and I had a tiff with one of t...

Confrontations by annie16

I have submitted my personal experiences with the paranormal but as my mom passed in 2008, I have decided to write about her experiences. My mom was born with "the sight" as some would say, and had numerous experiences throughout her life such as seeing and her deceased younger sister crying at h...

Knock On The Door... No Ones There by Rajine

Good day to all readers, I have read a lot of stories on this amazing site and I've decided to share a few personal stories and incidents that have happened to me. I would like to start off with something that happened to me twice (same year but months apart) it was in 2009 and I was 20 at the t...

Was This Sleep Paralysis? by annie16

I stated in my previous stories that I had only had 3 distinct experiences. This one was not counted amongst them as I do not know what this was. I was 21 when my husband at the time and I had just moved into a new house in Arconpark, Vereeniging. About 2 weeks after we moved in my son was born. ...

Tokoloshe Or Poltergeist? by Fergie

As I mentioned in my last submission, I visited my brother, Rob, in New Zealand last year and cajoled a few paranormal experiences of his from him. Here is his second one, this also took place while he was still living in South Africa. Back in late 1987, he was transferred by his work from De Aar...

Totally Confused by annie16

Those of you that have read my other stories will know that I have only had those experiences. Until very recently. This next experience is far beyond anything I have experienced to date. It was also very frightening. As I stated before, I do not scare easily. In fact, I have a lot of fun scaring...

Just Another Ghost Story by Temilicious

I've had a few incidents happen to me since my last posts, mostly two years ago (can't believe it's been two years already), feels like all this happened less than a year ago). In 2014 I was staying in Westdene-Melville near the Westdene dam, my favourite place in Johannesburg- very artsy-fartsy ...

Paranormal Activity Child 2 Years Old by maricoetzee37

My grandson is 2 years and 3 months. It all started after a suicide in the family, first things would randomly just fall over or off the table. First the TV would switch itself on, the decoder for satellite TV would be off, but TV would be on and satellite TV channel would be on children's channel, ...

Haunted House In De Aar by Fergie

A few months ago, while visiting my brother in New Zealand, I coerced him into retelling me his preternatural experiences while still living in South Africa. It was like pulling teeth when he first started, but then it all came tumbling out so fast that I had to ask him to stop, while I grabbed pen ...

Demon With Red Eyes And Yellow Teeth by a13048291eyes

Here I go with another story. I was about 15 years old and went to visit a very well known friend of mine. She lived in a very big house, well maintained. It was my first time visiting as my parents were very strict and I had limited time with my friends. As I walked into her house, I got a chil...

I Am Ok by triden07

Apologies to the empaths reading this, I cried the whole way through. On Saturday, 7th November 2015, I once again experienced something that shook me to my core. In the two weeks leading up to this day 2 people I know and love had episodes where they collapsed and had ceasures. If the fact that ...

New Office, New Spirit 2 by triden07

Following my first story about the spirit who is wandering around our offices, I have some more to tell. The spirit is a man, somewhere in his 30's to 40's. He not only had a personal connection to the house, either living here or just spending a lot of time here, but he was part of the renovatio...

New Office, New Spirit by triden07

I started working at a new company on 24 August 2015. The job and the people are great, and I am very happy. But I'm starting to notice things in the office... We work in an old house that was converted in to offices. We have a show room that takes up a third of the building, it's open and well l...

Mum's Visit Before Wedding by dido

Just a bit of history before I start. My mom passed away in 2002 at the age of 37 from complications of lupus. I was 19 years old (I am now 32). Last year September was my wedding and we had been planning for over 8 months. Needless to say wedding planning is extremely stressful and brides ca...

Little White Dog by dido

Before I start my story I just want to mention that I had not stated in my previous stories that I had seen other ghostly sightings other then what my sister and I experienced with my mom in our old house. However, my new story will go back in time to when I was a little girl. Many years ago, ju...

I'm Trying To Warn You by triden07

To those not familiar with my stories, I live in a house inhabited by 4 spirits. Both of my grandmothers, my friend Charlie, and a little boy who died in the house, named Adam. Activity has been minimal for the past few months now. Gran still knocks on the fridge regularly, and Adam still comes t...

The Man In Our House by Nataschalo

This happened about 4/5 years ago. I live in South Africa, Western Cape, Cape Town in a 3 bedroom old style brick house. Let me paint you a picture of our house. It has a large living room with high window from the ground up until the ceiling, with a fireplace and knotty pine high ceilings. The livi...

New House, New Story by annie16

As I stated in my story Farewell from Grandpa (http://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=22135) I have four very clear experiences I will write about. This is the second encounter. The third was farewell from dad (http://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=22168. ...

Farewell From Grandpa by annie16

I am new to the site. I have had four distinctly different experiences but the following story was the first.

Moving Curtain by lovebite23

First time I'm writing my story here. So my brother passed away 21 may 2015 at the age of 18. I'm still mourning him and missing him a lot. Last week the 17 june 2015 around 9 o'clock I was sitting with my family in the living room they were talking about my brother now whenever they talk bout...

The Church Camp by LuSA

This is my first story, thank you for reading.:) For as long as I can remember, I've always had a fascination for paranormal. I don't recall any events when I was a child, but had several experiences as a young teen and more growing up. The first experience that I can really pinpoint was at a ch...

Presences by Cloudre

This happened when I was around 18 months old, I think of it as my earliest memory. One night I was asleep in my cot, mind you at this age I was a single child, sometime during the night I was awoken. I don't know how or when but it was pitch black. I happened to be looking in the doorway or what...

Finally At Peace by Aria14

My story began about two years ago in a quaint suburb of Durban, SA. I have been residing in this suburb for nearly 22 years. Being such a small suburb, all of our surrounding neighbours had become like a family within a family. One family (house directly opposite to mine) in particular was a bit...

Apparition Of Former House Owner? by Estelle

I was living at a friend's house early 2004 in a suburb called Unigray in the south of Johannesburg. Apparently the house (located in a circle) used to be a railway-owned home back in the day. The first strange thing I noticed while staying there, was that my friend's four-year old daughter had a...

My Grandfather, Stepfather And The Little Girl by KLange

This is my first post and it is a bit long (sorry about that) but please bear with me. I was born in 1990 and had always had a casual almost on again/off again relationship with the paranormal. Sometimes I would see them everywhere and sometimes they were nowhere to be found. But they never scare...

The Omen by blackcat73

When I was 20, I met up with an old friend from high school. We soon started dating. I was crazy about him. He was such a happy, vibrant person. We were together for 6 months when one night in December 1993 I had this dream. We were together at a work picnic, area unknown. The next moment an angel c...

Things That Go Bump by Fergie

Our granddaughter Shenay often spends a weekend at our house since her mother's demise two years ago. Shenay has a history of 'seeing' or 'knowing' things, with the result that I tend to believe what she says. One weekend night, Shenay was safely tucked up in bed and asleep, or so I thought. I h...

Falling Photos And The White Teddy Bear by Fergie

On the morning of 17th February 2014, I received mail from our eldest daughter Nicky. The header to the email was "Strange..." I read with interest; this is the story that emerged. Shenay, our nine-year-old granddaughter had just spent a weekend with us - nothing unusual in that. We had fetched S...

My First Unrelated Apparition by triden07

Last night, 21 September 2014, I was woken up at 10:50PM to the sound of human feet hitting the pavement passage right next to my bedroom window. Given the fact that we have had a vacant house next to us for over 2 years, which now occupies an unclear amount of squatters, the trespassing of stranger...

The Reaper Copy Cat by k0r8i05

Hey all, wanted some answers on this particular experience. I've researched a lot into it but never seem to pin-point an answer. So I was about 8 or 9 years old, we had tiny holy statues that were placed above the fireplace on a little board. One was of Mother Mary holding baby Jesus in her arms....

It Followed Us by dido

I will start with some of the incidents that have been most memorable to me. My mom and dad have been divorced since I was 3, so it was just my mom, sister and I who lived together. I must have been about 12 when we moved into a rented ground floor flat (apartment). At first everything was great...

Devine Intervention, Or Something Else? by Fergie

Back in January of this year, I had an incident happen at my home. At the time, I wrote it off as non-paranormal; now I am beginning to have my doubts. Recently I read, and "digested" an account written by triden07 called "Intervention". It gave me pause for thought. It must have been some sort o...

Could It Have Been A Pram? by Charne35

I am new to YGS. I have been reading YGS for a couple of months and I really love all the stories. Although sometimes some of the stories do sound a bit over the top and maybe made up, I guess. I am not sensitive to the paranormal and have the biggest respect for it all and I often wonder if gho...
