The Hollywood Roosevelt & Lost Luggage by Josh941

I will start off with an apology because it's quite a lengthy story with a fair bit of background information.

Recycled Spirits/the Old Refrigerator Of Doom And Stuff! by AnotherSecurityGuard

Did you like the title? I thought that it was clever. This "ghost story" or whatever you want to call it has some laughs in it - particularly at my expense. There's definitely some spookiness to it though, too, so don't worry. It won't keep you up at night, though. Unless you spend your nights tryin...

Strange Experience In The Parking Lot by unforgiven1

I've been thinking about posting this story for awhile now but I am worried about not being able to explain it well enough.

I got a call from my dad telling me my grandfather was in the hospital up north and was not doing well. They were going to cut off his leg to try to save him, but it did not look hopeful.

Whispers I Can't Explain by VeronicaMarie

It Comes At Night by Haven

For as long as I can remember, I have been bothered by something at night time.

It stops for a while and...

Something Cold by Haven

I have mentioned in other stories, or maybe in comments, that lately I've been feeling my bed move when I'm trying to fall asleep. I have even seen my sheets move when I am completely frozen still.

Because I Talked To It, It Got Worse by AndrewSimpson

I've lived in the same house for many years. Each year something happens, sometimes scary sometimes annoying. In a full house of 9 people not everyone has had an experience.

Ghost App by trinity98

I know what you're thinking! "Ghost app? Bunch of baloney!" I thought the same when I first heard of it and even more when I first used it (I started using this app about 2 years ago so around the end of 2015 or begging 2016) but the more I used it the more the responses became more relevant to my q...

Mimicker by trinity98

Back in 2013-2014 my dad moved in his girlfriend months after my mom died.

The Queen Mary Kids? by SucculentMania

I am curious skeptic, it has always been a source of entertainment to watch paranormal shows like "Ghost Hunters" and the Saginaw, Michigan films made by "Prozak" (although I find Prozak's films to be a bit more difficult to debunk in certain cases). A California native, I have heard many times that...
