Disturbing Audio Evidence by AnonMirrorBoard

I'd like to start off by saying that I am a fan of this website. Seeing there was a recent update in the town I grew up in, I had to dive in. I researched a bit and eventually, my girlfriend and I decided we had to check it out for ourselves. I don't intend to bore you, reader, with my background or...

1750s Horror Home In Historic Massachusetts 2 by virulentpeach

Several years ago, I had posted an account of my experiences in my stepbrother's childhood home, titled similarly to this one.

A Mother's Final Goodbye by Overlordundead

S o at first I'd like to say that this story is a little foggy to me so I don't have the detailed specifics of the story. Also I have to explain a few things in order for a few of you to understand where I'm coming from first of all I am currently an adopted child living with my aunt (my mother's si...

1750s Horror Home In Historic Massachusetts by virulentpeach

NOTE ON CHRONOLOGY: I refer to everyone in this story as what they are to me now: stepdad, and stepbrother, even though at the time they were family friends. It makes it much easier to tell the story. My mom and my stepdad married just one year ago, but we have known him for many years, since I ...

Many Many Deer, Why? by msforgetmenott

My husband and I have always enjoyed nature. We feed the birds in our yard, and yes the black bear came, likes sneaks in the night. We didn't care, only upset that we didn't see them.

As the day approached for this surgery, it became very hard for us as when ever in conversation with my Mom, she would mention some family item that we must take h...

Please Send Good Thoughts by msforgetmenott

This may be the most believable story you will ever read. Unless this sickness takes me before, I will, on the 31st of this month, at 7:00 a.m. Be undergoing a nine to twelve hour surgery. I feel it may be unlikely that I will survive and that is ok, but I am much saddened it will leave my husband o...

Shadow Person Touched Me? by harleyhalfmoon

I grew up in haunted houses and I've also been very sensitive to the paranormal, so it doesn't usually freak me out, but what happened last night, left me a bit confused and wondering if I should be alarmed.

My story is pretty simple, although it might be a bit long-winded, so please bare with me. In the summer of 2002 I moved into a little apartment in a small town in Massachusetts.

One More From Stoughton by waltrow1274

There was one more incident that happened, this occurred in the living room.

Strange Occurrences In Our Billerica House by waltrow1274

For what it's worth, I am the left handed youngest of four, not that that means anything, it's just that my Uncle (my Mothers brother) is the youngest of three and he is also left handed; I heard somewhere that, that was a thing. From the time I was born until I was 8 my family lived in the north...

The Haunting On Deer Park by FredisFred

In late 2006 I finished my time in the US Army. I was young and wanted to enjoy my newly found outlook on life outside the Military. This new outlook was indicative of me enjoying some family time.

A Clash Of Personalities by Bibliothecarius

In the very late 1990s, I was renting the basement of my parents' fifth American home (they do move a lot!) while I sorted out my post-Bachelor's Degree plans.

Footsteps In The Day by mrmonty

Someone Else's Memory by mrmonty

I am not really sure where this fits in, not sure it there is anything ghostly about it, but it is definitely paranormal.

Woooweeeaaawwayyaaa by msforgetmenott

We inherited a sizable chunk of land in 1999 at my hometown, that had been part of my family's farm, where I grew up.

Memories And A Pad Of Paper by msforgetmenott

As a child growing up in the 1950s, there was nothing I liked more than drawing. Money was short and so was drawing paper, my Mother improvised, even the inside of a cereal box would work for me. My Uncle, working for a printing company, brought me scraps. As my Mother was still living, I could not ...

Please take a look at my previous events, it will help you to understand this third and final printing about this unusual voice. I was getting older now, in my teens and dating.

A Deep Voice Spoke Loudly 1 Of 3 by msforgetmenott

Growing up in the hill towns of Western Massachusetts was at times very lonely. The view of rolling green hills and rich thick woods of sugar maples, oak and pine, so beautiful. However, if you lived there, farm life was filled with responsibility and chores. Neighbors were often as far away as a ha...

Doppelganger Cats? by Nightwish13

This time I will tell two stories in one since they are short and related.

One night I was laying in bed listening to...

Cats And Spirits, Demon? by mrmonty

Not sure if I'm a truly a believer in all thing paranormal, I think a lot of it can be explained if it's look at, let's say, in the light of day.

The Fairy, The Girl And My Sister by PrincessWillow

When I was 7 years old, I lived in Ayer, MA with my mom and her boyfriend. I had always been a pain to get put to bed because I hated it. I was petrified of the dark and being alone.

Max Wasn't Ready To Leave by Bloodstone

Growing up, my mother had a cat named Max. He was only a year old when I was born, so I grew up with him. Even as a baby, he wouldn't stray far from me.
