Shy But Here Ghost 2 by ilikespirits

Well, I haven't caught him on video, but now I think it's a guy ghost, and probably human. He is kind of freaky, but he doesn't scare me much anymore. He tries to mess with me now though, ever since I uploaded the other story, he's been messing with my friends too. Well, the other day, I had my fri...

Shy But Here Ghost by ilikespirits

Some weird things have been happening in my house. My room particularly. I am just a young teen but I have always been able to sense spirits and also emotions in people in an instant. In my house, I have always had the sensation that there was someone else here. It doesn't feel evil just creepy. But...

A Christmas Cleansing Story by ghostseer

This happened a few short years ago. I had been invited to a wonderful, but small gathering of family and friends. We would be celebrating the holidays together, and I was happy. As soon as I entered the residence, I was assaulted by an onslaught of muddy air. It was like walking into thick air. ...

The Atrium Woman And The Wolf by DeviousAngel

Please bear with me, this story is a little long, as are the rest of my stories. When I was a little girl, I occasionally spent the night at my grandparents' house near the southern coastline of California. They have a beautiful house on the top of a hill that overlooks the ocean, though the act...

My Aunt And Uncle's House by vryce12

First off this will be my first time writing about an experience I had. Keep in mind this isn't a scary story but it makes me believe in the paranormal more and is very intriguing. This will be a short story since there aren't a lot of details so I hope you enjoy what I have to say. This took pla...

The Joker And The Demon by ElinaIoneki822

I have some more "exciting" things to share with you, all of which happened in a few hours time yesterday, 11/10/08. This playful ghost that I have "following" me around (as you might have read in my last stories) has very much made his/her impression on me, but this time I wasn't home alone. ...

Haunted By Blue Eyes by ghostseer

Something woke me in the dark. Wasn't sure what it was, but I could feel a change in the air. There seemed to be a disturbance in the room, and the air was literally vibrating with energy. I jolted to an upright position, and propped the pillow behind me. The air was chilly, no... It was FREEZING......

A Haunted House Story by ghostseer

As a young girl, we moved around quite a bit. Eventually, we moved away from the tropics, and headed to California. When we first moved to the United States, from the Canal Zone-it was strange to see how close together the homes were built. We moved into a new development called Santee lakes, and...

Strange Noises And The Others by Kwazimoto

The old house hasn't thrown any surprises at us for a while now so I thought I'd share a few older stories of strange but true encounters. I know they're true because they actually happened to me. If you're here at this site, then like me you probably have a penchant for the spookier side of life...

The Ghost Dog by ghostseer

n 1961, the world was a different place. I had roller skates with metal wheels, one bike, and no reason not to use my imagination. I had a library card, and I frequented the neighborhood park. No one was out of shape, and the kids played outdoors most afternoons. We didn't watch much TV, and we had ...

The Sanitarium Hospital Demons by ghostseer

My Step-Dad was a County Social Worker, and one of the places he had to go, was the local Sanitarium. I'm talking about the Mental Health Hospital. This was the place, where the really bad cases were kept. I volunteered at the regular hospital, less than a block away. Each time I passed the Ment...

The Empty Rocking Chair by ghostseer

My best friend was expecting her first child in four months. One evening, she invited me over for dinner, and I hadn't seen her new place yet, so I went. It was a cute little two bedroom, and the baby furniture she had picked was a collection of antiques from all over. The dark cherry wood was p...

Unexplained Hauntings: The Beginning by csuegar

Will I thought it was time to share with you the rest of my story. I should of started with the very beginning of how strange things happened before my brother passed away but I'm new at this so please bear with me. My brother became ill the end of January 2007 and then the first week of Februar...

Strange Voice by Annio11

I had a strange case of sleep paralysis today. I know what the symptoms are and I know when it is happening to me but something was very different about today's experience. I was lying down on my stomach in my bed and I felt my body being filled with a buzzing static. Since I couldn't move I was jus...

A Touch On The Face by ElinaIoneki822

It started last night, (10/26/08), when my friend Chad* and I were watching TV in his room. It had been awhile since I had seen my best friend, let alone come over to his house and hang out. My friend lives in Long Beach and I've been to his house many times before. I have felt a presence in his hom...

Cryptic Wake Up Call by Shia453

I want to put down as much detail as I can remember. I don't think that I have any particular gift for sensing spirits, but I believe that there's a human spirit haunting my home. Unlike some ghosts, though, he's not a very active spirit at all. I'm not sure who this ghost is or what he looks lik...

The Man In My House by Sean

Today is October 22nd 2008 and yesterday was a bit weird but today takes the cake. I returned home today from dropping my daughter off at high school. I am 34 and have a no mental issues and have no issues of any kind. I am very skeptical of anything out of the norm but today proves me wrong. I ...

Ghost Of A Mushroom Or Mom by Laurel_Anne_Hill

I sat straight up in bed, my hands clutching the patchwork quilt. The translucent apparition from my spent dream danced in the air, a foot or so away from my nose. No, the figure of my mother's ghost had changed in the pale amber illumination from my night lights, become smaller than before. Soon on...

Hooded Cloaked White Figures by xDistrubedx

I should start off that I am fifteen and a half years old. I'm female. My name is Emma. I couldn't get to bed tonight this night because I have had enough of this. I am so scared. I guess I will start from the beginning (sum it up for you just so you have a better understanding of who I am). I "...

Ouija Board And Black Lab by tkkchang

This story took place in Sacramento, CA. I was around 16-17 years old; I was really into playing the Ouija Board. I got so addicted to it, that I would even dream of playing it alone (which I knew better not to ever play alone). Well, one night I was at my friend's house playing the Ouija Board n...

Touched Softly by mesa25

I am very confused and curious about a few things. I don't generally believe in paranormal activity or ghosts. Never have. My feeling is I will believe it when it happens to me. For the last six months however, I have been feeling like I am a loon. It is nothing major or scary, probably isn't even i...

Mysterious Events by Kira

I haven't typed anything in a while, because nothing to report but about 3 days ago I had a string of experiences. I have been seeing a lot of spirits lately, the most disturbing ones were of children staring at me, blood on their shirts, a girl in a white night gown, and a attack in one of my r...

The Beer Can by Kawaii52

I had invited my boyfriend, so it was my boyfriend, my uncle, Angel and me. My uncle went into a room to get the DVD case so ...

Paranoia Or Paranormal? by DeviousAngel

I'm glad that I got so many responses to my previous few stories and so many people were helpful with their opinions and insight. With that said, I wanted to ask everyone what they think about a few things that have started occurring around my house. Am I just suffering from some kind of paranoia, o...

Our Haunted Doors by meowberry

My boyfriend, Dan, and I moved into our apartment in November 2007. It's our first apartment together, and for the first few months we didn't really notice anything strange about the place. We had previously lived with Dan's brother, and it was enough of an adjustment getting used to living on our o...

Black Figure by Annio11

I have had episodes of sleep paralysis since I was young, but today I had an episode that I do not understand. I felt like I was lying in my bed and couldn't talk or move. Since this has happened to me many times, I know how to deal with this a little better. I always feel as if there is a presen...

The Hotel Del Coronado by whitebuffalo

I may have been considered an adult, age wise, the first year that I was in the Navy, but I sure did not act it. I was always looking for adventure, and it really did not matter how I achieved it. A group of people that I worked with and myself decided that we were going to spend a weekend out on ...

The Cookie Ghost by Dizzygallespi1954

This story comes from South Orange County in Southern California. I was employed by a company for about two years ago and while speaking to a fellow worker, I was implored to share her story. I have taken the liberty to translate her information to provide a better understanding on her experiences. ...

Dark Angel's Visit by donp1111

I encountered a "Dark Angel" when I was around eleven years old. Just before falling asleep I saw a tall dark figure standing in the corner of my room. He was around 6'2, with a long black coat and a black top hat, but I couldn't make out his face. I was afraid of my own shadow at the time but I did...

Spirit Guardian by DeviousAngel

A friend of mine had a cat that subsequently had kittens. My friends and family know that I'm a cat person, so it goes without saying that I fell in love with one of the kittens whom I later named Prism. At the time, I was told that I was being given a female cat, and for whatever reason I didn't ch...

Haunted Calaveras Property by c_nicholson

We live on 10 acres of land and on the back 5 acres of this land, during spring and summer women and children's voices are heard along with the sounds of a camp fire. A long time ago Chilean people camped in our area, especially our property. They came to find gold. While the men were gold pannin...

Dad Really Did Say Goodbye by ladyannne

It's still quite difficult to read this today as I submit it, how many years later, yet a story so definite needs telling. It is my most personal story, as well. My father was a practical man. He dealt with life as it came, did the best with what came about, or worked very hard to change it to his ...

Orbs In Photos From Mischief Night by DollyDagger

Mischief night used to be one of my favorite nights of the year. It's the night before Halloween, and it's the night when people go out and cause mischief (i.e.: TPing, tagging, or just plain or sneaking out for a bit). Me and my friends never really did anything because we were too chicken (as alwa...

The Dark Entity And Nails In A Bag by Monica2010

I've combined these two stories into one because they both involved my brother and happened one right after the other. The Dark Entity - Seventeen years ago, my parents had purchased our very first house. While our house was in escrow, we continued to live in our small rented mobile home, loca...

Los Gatos Cats by ladyannne

There are two huge white lion statues on either side of the gate to an estate just next to the Cats restaurant in Los Gatos on Highway 17. The gate is an exquisite, wrought iron handmade masterpiece (now replaced with a standard gate) that begs to be opened. A quiet shaded road leading off into the ...

Do Spirits Tag Along? by ladyannne

The last few days I have been hearing the weirdest, small noises in and about one kitchen area. Not prone to hysterics, I observe the dogs are not listening or disturbed, cats are not interested, and all pet rats are accounted for in their comfy condo. A large metal tin sounds like it has a mouse it...

Afraid To Open Back Up by needhelp

Since I was a child I have been visited by ghosts. The earliest one I can remember was when I was 7. We were living in Colorado and I shared a room with my sister. One night I saw a strange woman in my room, I remember a feeling of ill ease and I saw her carry a child out the window. It turns out th...

A Childish Presence by DollyDagger

One evening last year, I was sitting at my desk in my room working on a drawing for one of my classes when I felt someone tugging my hair. It wasn't like someone was pulling my hair to hurt me, but just a light playful tug. I chuckled and for whatever reason felt a happy/bubbly feeling in my stomach...

Aunt Alicia's Couch Buddy by Monica2010

This past weekend, as my mother and I were sitting down for breakfast together, my grandmother called to tell us that my Aunt Alicia was sick. Apparently, the entity in her house (in Lamont, CA) had frightened her so severely that it caused her to fall ill. I could only hear my mother's side of the ...

The Winchester Visit by ladyannne

Of all the haunted places in my world, the Winchester Mystery House has to be my favorite. I was fortunate to have been raised in San Jose, and had toured the house over thirty times by the time I left the valley in 1988. There is one room that has always been very active. The top floor in that ...

Brookdale Lodge 2 by ladyannne

I was invited to a weekend at Brookdale Lodge, Santa Cruz Mountains with Verify Broadcasting and Pacific Paranormal. You bet! I was only tenish when my father took us and I played with that little girl up in the balcony overlooking the dining room. Yeah, that little girl. To walk back into that ...

Outside My Door by Monica2010

One late evening, not so long ago, my son and I were watching a Ghost Hunters marathon on TV. Needless to say, we were already spooked, but we didn't dare turn to another channel, as this episode was one of the better ones. We were cuddled together on the couch, relaxing in our pajamas. Other than t...

Frozen In Fear by CuriousDave

When I was little (around five or six) I had my first encounter with the paranormal. The incident is a little foggy in my mind since it happened over a decade ago, but I'll do my best to recall. I remember waking up some time in the night and I wasn't able to move; except for my eyes. I was lying...

Never ...

Family Encounter by thechosen1

One of my first experiences with the paranormal occurred about ten years ago, when visiting my mother's home town of Mixtlan, Jalisco, Mexico for the second time.

4:30 Am Terror by Velvet

I vividly remember the day that I had my first paranormal experience. My Mom would leave the house at 4:00 am, because she started work at 5:00 am. I remember that day; She told me and my sister goodbye, gave us kisses and turned off the lights as she left. There was no one else at home. I was aroun...

Scary Stuff As A Child In Abandoned House by Lynette

When I was young I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. In comparison to other states or even other countries California is relatively young, meaning, that there is not nearly as much history as other locations.
