The Door Bell by BitterSweet78801

I have three dogs. Skye, River, and Lavender. Skye went to heaven several years ago. So it is my daughter, River, Lavender and I in this house. At the end of 2018, my daughter and I moved to a small town. We live a couple blocks away from my middle sister. River is a Husky and has a deep bark. Laven...

The Floating Head At The Foot Of My Bed by margiekay

I had an interest in unexplained phenomena by the age of nine and loved to listen to my parents read ghost stories, or hear stories around the campfire at Girl Scouts, but did not think that I would ever see a real ghost myself. One evening that would change. I was eleven years old and living in...

Fiddler On Church Steps by goblinkwain

First of all I have to put the obligatory "long time reader, first time submitting". I have been reading this website on a near nightly basis for a long time, I love it. Second, I'm not really positive that this was a spirit. It could have just been a person, but it was supremely strange and definit...

Wraith Demon Stalker by JLeggans12131

Last year around April or May I had walked to a local gas station in my town of St Joseph, Missouri on a street not too far from my small street. I was walking one Sunday night forgetting that the gas station was closed at 10:00 PM. The thing is that I had smelled the foul odor of fire and smoke and...

Black Panther Spirit In My Home by marlagx

I live in the city in an old Queen Anne style house that is quite large, built in 1902. There is a staircase in the back near the kitchen that I believe the servants used that go up to the third floor. The front staircase just goes to the second floor. Approximately three years ago, as I was walki...

He Lost His Head by Dar77

The year was 1999 and my ex husband and I were living in Missouri then. My boys were just babies then, 3 and 1. We had found a charming old farm house in the country and the rent was very affordable. It was a two bedroom home that was situated at the top of a hill and you had to drive up a long grav...

Spirits Follow Me by Haileyh252

My entire life has been filled with paranormal experiences. The first sign that something was wrong is when I was very young I kept asking my parents if we had ghosts. They would always answer with," we bought the house brand new", so no one had died there. I would try to believe them, but I always ...

A Few Happenings by EmberSparrow

Each story of mine is only a brief explanation long so I'm putting them together; I'm wishing for more frequent and longer experiences, though! The first happened a few years back. My younger sister and I were sitting on our back patio listening to music and relaxing while my parents were at the ...

The Man In My Bathroom by dh29

This all started a little over a year ago I believe. My house was built in the 1950s and was very retro when we moved in. We did renovations and made it more modern to fit us. I have a son who is now 3 and have had other family members living with us (they've moved out now). It started with my bat...

Hooded Figure? by Teresa324

I was laying in bed one night after work. I am a single mother of twin girls. I hadn't fallen asleep just yet, but had my back to the door that led into my childrens' room, they were asleep when I last walked through the house before laying down. I was thinking about work the next day, when all of a...

Bathroom Visitors And Moving Toys by saxichan_2002

My niece came over the other day to have dinner with us. My mom needed someone to give her a ride to ballet class as well. When we were finished eating dinner I sent her to the kids' bathroom to change into her ballet outfit so that we could get ready to head to her ballet practice. It seemed to ...

Bandana Of A Thing by saxichan_2002

While sitting in the kitchen, eating Steak and Shake, I look up to see 2 bandanas that are tied to the pantry cabinet doors blowing like wind is moving them up from an undercurrent. My husband is around the corner where he can't see this happening, blowing his nose. I figure it's the a.c. Or wind so...

He Kissed Me by Phoenix35

My name is Shauna and this is my first paranormal story submission (ever). I have many stories that are short, to the point, and just unexplainable. It's was a summer Sunday afternoon. I rarely get the chance to nap so when opportunity presented, I took advantage. A little back story; My husba...

The Playful Morning Ghost In My Bathroom by saxichan_2002

My kids woke me up this morning. I came out with them into the living room. I realized I needed to use the restroom. I began to walk in the hallway near the restroom. As I'm near the door I see something out of the corner of my eyes and have to wait because I see two black feet/legs swinging back an...

The Dark Place by Shadowwulf113

When I was very young, my grandmother told me a story of when she was young. She said that she had played with a ouija board and that strange things began to happen to her. I have often wondered if in some manner she had submitted me to a lifetime worth of encounters. This is the time that I had bee...

Am I Crazy? Or Is This Normal/possible? by jungsdaughti

When I was 7 my family moved to a house in the Southwestern part of Missouri. It was a very old farm house, and the wooded area behind the house was very eerie and overgrown. Being a child from the city, it naturally scared me. It was mid-summer when I suddenly was okay with the wooded area and bega...

There's Something In The Closet...😱 by Thelambinator86

It was me, my brother, and sister, we all lived in Indiana at the time, I'm not sure exactly what town it was but we lived out in the country in the middle of nowhere. We...

The Voices That Saved My Life by Faith1990

Prior to the following experience, I wouldn't hesitate to blame some doofus move on my part on the "voices" I hear in my head. "The voices made me do it!" That was such a funny thing to say. Little did I know or understand back then that the voices you have "in your head" can actually be a real thin...

The Possible Incubus And The Ghost In My House by Mika97

There are two, possibly three supernatural beings that dwell in my house. Two have confirmed as ghosts the other we do not know exactly what it is but because it displays sexual behavior I am thinking it is an Incubus. The first ghost does not bother me but it does bother my mother and elder sister....

Two Angels by Enlightened1959

When I was just 15 years old, I met my future husband. It was back in the "hippy" era. My boyfriend/future husband had a reputation of "the Fonz" and dressed like "Billy Joel". He was a supervisor over a group of men, (including my brother) at a state park so my parents were comfortable with letting...

Growl, Tap, Slam by queenpashon

I will start by saying I have always been fascinated by the paranormal. Fascinated but very afraid at the same time. I hope that makes sense. The story take place in St. Louis, Missouri. I had moved there in 2010 (I was 20 at the time) for a few months with my older sister Farrah (name changed) and ...

My Disappearing Friend by Allicatt

When I was younger my parents and I tended to move a lot, mainly because my Mom despised staying in one place for too long. As she often said " There are simply too many things to do and see, so why settle?" I was seven when we she got a job offer in Springfield Missouri at the primary school, o...

My Best Friends Ghost by cheercat

Let me start off by saying I am not particularly a scaredy cat however, when it comes to my best friends old house I now turn in to a clinger who can't step foot in the basement without another human being by my side. Back in middle school my friend Christina invited some friends over to play with h...

The House On 6th Street by PhantomChild96

This story takes place when I was about 12 or 13 in a house that my mom, little sister, and I all lived in at the time. It was a white two story house. Inside the house their was a carpeted spiral staircase that led to the second story. The second story was kind of like a closed in loft. One hal...

Watching From The Stairs by ashlcoopa

I have shared a previous post about being watched from the stairs... This time, it was not me being watched. A few days ago I stayed with my parents in my usual spot upstairs, since I will not sleep in my own room and have not since about 2009. On this particular morning, I was awakened by my pa...

That Old Time Religion (a Halloween Tale) by JerryB

I was just a kid in the 1950's. Life back then in Southern Illinois was pretty bland considering what I took as enjoyment was me usually watching the world pass from the backseat of the old family Dodge. Life did have its moments, however, and road trips certainly never disappointed. My adult rol...

Reflection by lightgoddess

My story starts seven years ago. At age eighteen I just got into Wicca and my attacks started. They varied from me being held down to being chased up the stairs. Worried, I tried to find a solution. I reunited with my friend and she got me into church. That was my solution. I thought I was safe....

Things That Go Bump In The Day by Sparkie

This event happened around September or October of 2014 while I was staying at my mom's house in Missouri. This was my second trip out there, the other being a year before around the same time. I would like to start by mentioning the dog they have. He is an European Boxer that is about 2 years ol...

Forever Cursed by lightgoddess

My story is long, but I'll make it short. It starts when I'm a child and my parents moved into a house. You could feel the pressure in the air. We shortly found out the house was haunted with me being it's victim. I saw my blanket float like someone was under it and heard a window break, but found o...

Help Me I Live Right Here by Peachesop

I recently took a job in Missouri, on march 9 2014; which consumed a lot of my time being a travelling job for a marketing company. Because I got this career near where I grew up, my Parents loaned me a house they had inherited but were not using. This house has been in my family since it was built ...

A Mother's Touch by LindaD53

My mother became very ill, she had been in and out of the hospital for a couple of years. At one point she was on life support for 15 days caused by an overdose from an anesthesiologist while in surgery. My mother was a very strong woman who did recover. I never knew exactly caused her death. She pa...

Bill And Charlie by Searching_Stars

This experience I had around the age of 14-15 years old. My best friend I met in high school gym class. At first we didn't like each other for the longest time. She would always pester me and I would ignore her. It was a cycle of sorts. But eventually, after a month of trying, I became friends wi...

Cemetery Scare by Searching_Stars

It was my sister's senior year of high school and I was an 8th grader. That night for an assignment my sister was required to take pictures of graves in a local cemetery and make a poem about the person who had died. The poem did not have to be true it just had to be inspired by the person's grave. ...

A Fatherly Ghost by Searching_Stars

In most of the few paranormal experiences I've had, I have never noticed anything bad happen to me because of them. I mean sure I would have nightmares from time to time; there was nothing emotionally scarring about these experiences (even though I still think back often on them). This story took pl...

We Were Just Unwelcome by STL_KC

In 2009, I bought my first house in the Waldo area of Kansas City, MO. It was a modest house, a three bedroom, one bath ranch built in 1953... About 1100 square feet. I bought the house from the original owner who was moving out to live with her daughter. I never met her, but from all accounts she w...

Beautiful Vanishing Dog by Phoenix83

This is my first story, but I have read others experiences and felt inspired to finally share some of my own. This story takes place near my old house here in Springfield, MO. The house I lived in for 2 years was built in 1916 and was an old ranch home, so needless to say I have experienced energy o...

Strange Happenings In My House by catluv

This isn't really a story, but several scary things that have happened over the years in my house. The house is about 40-45 years old and we do have Holy Water and blessed Crucifixes (we are Catholic) in some of the rooms if that helps at all. I think the first thing that happened was the scaries...

Scratches by ashuff

I have a ten year old daughter who has been hearing and seeing things for quite some time now. When she was eight she had finally told me and her dad everything she had and has been experiencing. Some have been dark and others just seeking help. For the last twelve months everything has been well, h...

Strange Paranormal Events by jordyoatsvall

This event occurred when I was between the ages of five and six. My mother and I lived in a new mobile home out in the country in southeast Missouri in the small town of East Prairie.

Uneasy In My Bedroom by Sbutterfly83

So those of you who have read my other story know that I believe there are two men who stay/haunt my room. Mostly my closet. I never feel threatened by them. So what I am about to tell you... Freaked me out so bad. One night I was up late, listening to music and playing games on facebook because...

Shadow Creatures by blue-flamed-phoenix

When I was living with my granny, I had my own room. We live next to an abandoned house, it was creepy; at least the cold draft feeling of it was creepy. I had a window that was right on the same side as the house. I had an air conditioner in the window, I didn't mind having a window next to the hou...

Lady With The Blue Neon Eyes Pt 1 And Pt 2 by blue-flamed-phoenix

I had this experience at the beginning of this year. This is the first and only time ever in my life seeing something paranormal, and boy was I excited and freaked at the same time. My stomach had that feeling of being on a roller coaster. Anyway let's get to my story. On that day I was just waki...

Doppleganger Encounter by grench

My name's Aaron and this happened to my girlfriend less than an hour ago. I found this site whilst looking up doppelganger stuff on Google immediately after the encounter. I'm more or less hoping I can get some information on the phenomena. I was sitting on the couch playing xbox (which sits loo...

They Follow Me by RevengeWillBeSweet

Ever since I was 17 years old I've been having strange paranormal experiences. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't so naive as to think it couldn't possibly be me, such as a mental issue. I was evaluated by two separate therapists who deemed me mentally healthy. I was not using drugs, taking any medicat...

The Shadow Man In The Old Farm House by spookykitty13

This event took place in southern Missouri, just north of Springfield, during the spring of 2011. During this time, my husband was living in Wisconsin, about an hour outside of Milwaukee.

Rock House by 19funsize91

When I was younger about 10-13 or 14 my family had lived in a house my step mom had inherited from her parents after her father's death and her mom due to the memories not wanting to live there anymore. The house was old, having been there since the Civil War Era and needed quite a few repairs. My f...

Our Adventure by Faeborn

For the entries I know the date for I am including them. Most of the entries are from 2004, but things still happen if a bit more rare now. 7/15/2004 12:44 PM - Thought I'd give a general rundown of some of the events at my house and see if anyone else has had similar happenings. We bought ou...

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 ...

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...

Kids Love To Play by Jesus_soldier

The spirits of children have different views. Some people believe that demons take the appearance of a child. The other group of people believe these children are lost souls, stuck at this point. There is a group of people that believe both sides are right. That's where I am. I encourage you to tell...
