Snug Harbor Spirit by Phantom_0

Being fortunate enough to stay in New York over the winter, I have been visiting some of your ordinary NY tourist destinations, and some not so ordinary. A few weeks ago, after learning the there was a free ferry between lower Manhattan and Staten Island, I decided to hitch a ride. Not only would it...

Green Woode Cemetery Photo Bomb by SomeCallMeTim

Last weekend, I was visiting a friend who recently moved to Brooklyn, New York. Nearby is Green Woode Cemetery, over a hundred acres of monuments to the rich people of Manhattan dating to the late 19th century. In addition to the fact that most of the mausoleums are bigger and grander than the house...

The Black Figure And Strange Occurrences by KatherineLinien

Let me make it very clear now that I thought most of the things happening to me were things that happened to many others. As I will explain in a little bit, these black figures and weird occurrences that have been happening in the house I have been living in have never happened in my friends' houses...

Fairies... Maybe? by Briannalynn

So this experience didn't actually happen to me personally. This happened to my friend but she would never come on here and submit it. So I'm doing it because I am curious if anyone else has witnessed anything like this! She was sitting outside with her kids, her niece, and her nephew just enjoy...

Unknown Entities In Our New House Pt. 3: They Wake Me Up by brighteyez

Since I have done the cleansing in my house, I haven't experienced anything and I thought it was just gone, but just recently the past two weeks something has come back. This story will almost be a "Part 3" to my story "Unknown Entities In Our New House" but will be a little more in depth. If you ha...

Ghosts Need Showers Too by RCRuskin

I have a few more stories I'm writing up for this site, some need a bit of editing to hide the identities of the innocents involved. Events include a possible demonic haunting a former coworker shared with me, and I no longer have the EVP she provided. There is also the haunted elevator in a church....

Hello! I'm Behind You! by truelou

A few years back, about six now so that would be in 2010, my friend, who wishes to remain anonymous, and I were in my bedroom on a particularly sunny day that had no clouds in the sky and no forecast of rain nor thunder/lightning that day either, attempting to contact the dead through means of EVP (...

My Backyard by brighteyez

Since my last story posting, I haven't seen or heard anything in my house since I tried the cleansing and visualization techniques which seemed to help. I am now terrified to go outside in my yard when its dark out, at least by myself. I have a pretty decent sized yard, 1/3 of an acre, it's like...

A Visit From My Great-grandma by Melthetimelord

It was early in first grade that I had my experience. I went to a Catholic private school and was taken to church monthly by my teacher. The church was located across the street from my school and was an easy one minute walk from it. We walked across the small side street into the church, we fil...

Unknown Entities In Our New House Pt. 2 by brighteyez

I am back after almost a month since my last posting. I have been trying to write another experience I have been having in my new house and was having some difficulty putting it into words. Well this is part 2 of my previous story. The past few weeks since my last posting, I have been a little a...

Forewarnings Of Family Members Deaths by RedWolf

Starting in my early twenties, once in awhile a live blood relative would come to me in a dream. They would insist that I take them to either the train, cruise ship, or airport. They would insist that I stay with them until they departed. Within a week to ten days later that person died. One nigh...

The Presence: Frightening Experiences In Two Different Homes by fallenangel028

This story is a continuation of the post on my other YGS account (FallenAngel218): "The Two Women, The Radio, And The Voices" (Editor provided link http://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=4592) A few more things have happened in the house I describe in that story, right up until s...

Visiting Spirits 2 by tonepete

This is a follow-up article to "Visiting Spirits" which I wrote about four years ago. In the meantime several instances listed in Visiting Spirits, having been repeated and a new approach having been used, have improved "knowledge" of what happens and why during the Spirit's visit. Based on each ...

My Rommate's Ghost by Miranu

This is my first time submitting a story of mine, so we will see how well I can tell mine. I never had much of any paranormal activity experiences until college when I met my roommate. This story is the experience me and him had together in our dorm room in 2013. My roommate told me that there wa...

Upsetting Experience Before Yacht Party by RedWolf

As most of you know I live on Long Island. One of the contractors that my husband used invited us to attend a party on his yacht about 9 or 10 months after the 9/11/01. The problem for me was we had to walk right by where the Twin Towers once stood. I was disgusted by all the gawkers looking through...

Roommates Who Don't Pay Rent by RCRuskin

My brother, I found out recently, reads this site and when he saw my previous posting, he asked if I'd share the experienced he and I had sharing an apartment while going to graduate school. We shared a few apartments, actually, but at only one did we experience anything truly odd. This happened bac...

My Engagement Ring by RedWolf

I had to have a hysterectomy at the age of 36 in 1997 so I had to take my rings off before the surgery. When I got home I didn't bother putting the rings back on because my fingers were swollen. At the time I didn't have a good jewelry box so I had my husband put my wedding and engagement rings ...

Reach For Me by MFoutch

My name is Maria. You may know my husband as he has posted on here Small Town Hospital, Big Hauntings, and I figured I would share a few of my experiences. My husband and I work at the same hospital in a small town, the name cannot be disclosed for privacy purposes, but be assured this hospital is a...

Small Town Hospital, Big Time Hauntings Part 3 by glfoutch17

This is the third and final installment in the Small Town Hospital, Big Time Hauntings story about a little hospital in upstate New York that is simply riddled with paranormal activity.

Small Town Hospital, Big Time Hauntings Part 1 by gfoutch17

So I work at a small-town hospital in northern New York state, and, for obvious reasons, I am omitting the name of the hospital and its exact location because it is not like those who run this hospital came to me and said 'Hey! We want our name all over the Internet and please mention we are haunted...

My Mother In-law Her First Paranormal Experience by RedWolf

As stated in the title my mother in-law had her first paranormal experience the night before last. Before I tell you about it I have to tell you that before she met me she didn't believe in anything paranormal or supernatural. She was a skeptic even after I've made predictions that came true. ...

Update On My Story Spirits Around Me by RedWolf

I know that I've written a lot of stories lately. But I wanted to update you on the little girl and boy spirits that were murdered by their father along with their mother. We have never seen or felt the mother. She might have crossed over quickly, perhaps she was the first one killed I don't know. M...

Visiting Relatives by RedWolf

The past couple of weeks I felt one spirit, which I quickly identified as my father in-law. One day my mother in-law came over in a tizzy because she got one of her renewed credit card with a rather self-explanatory letter about a "chip" being in it. I tried to explain to her the chip is for places ...

Outter Heaven by RedWolf

As I told yo in my last story I have had quite a few neck and back surgeries. This event happened after my last back surgery in 2011 shortly after I came home from the hospital. Sometimes I have dreams so real I actually feel awake, like an out of body experience. When it is time for me to get out o...

The Shadow Man With The Glowing Eyes by ClaudiaStarsz

This is something I will never in my life forget, I guess it's because it was so intense. I was about 15 my dad had rented the basement of a family friend's house temporarily in Kew Gardens Queens, NY. The whole block was mainly full of buildings except for that one old looking creepy house. Not...

Seeking An Explanation by SamCat

Since I was young I would tell my parents stories about things such as "the ghost tickling me". I moved into my new house at age ten, a fairly new house built in the fifties, and ever since then I have had multiple experiences. Nothing I experienced ages 10-14 was threatening, but always scared m...

Ghost Pushes Things, I Heard Its Voice On The Baby Monitor by Elise_89

I am about to turn 26, and I live with my boyfriend and our now 9 month old son in an apartment (which is actually a house that has been made into 3 apartments inside). There's the upstairs floor, the downstairs one, and a smaller one next to the downstairs. The original part of the house was built ...

Unseen Entity? by DJ571

This is my first post. This literally just happened less than an hour ago. This morning, I let my dog inside. So, for awhile now, she would concentrate down the hallway, or near the hallway as if someone was there. Once I started reading these stories, I realized that there may be a spirit. She a...

Creepy Old Haunted House by Angel9090

I had once lived in a very old house which needed a lot of work. Before I bought the house I met the owner who sat quietly in the living room. After purchasing the house, I had the whole house repainted to give it a fresh look. The first week that I moved in and I opened the basement door, there...

Was This A Ghost Or An Angel That Saved Me? by Angel9090

I do know that a light comes to take peoples soul into the afterlife when they are close to death or have died. When I was about 8 years old, I was drowning when I jumped into a body of water which I thought was shallow and I went down the bottom of the deep trench. I was by the trench with some...

Death Visits And Coincidences by RitaCMW

This is a very difficult story for me to tell. As a little background I would like to mention that my brother committed suicide decades ago. His birthday was November 9. Six years after he died my father died on my brother's birthday, November 9. Moving ahead another 13 or 14 years my mother died on...

Ghostly Visit by Eliza60

As a Twenty-three year old I knew I had a rational mind, maybe. At that time, I had my first child it was the greatest experience that I ever had. My father was so proud of me. He fell in love with my little girl. When my daughter was six months, I was bathing her, when our phone rang; I had that...

My Great Uncle's Ghost by CJEbs22

Back on 1984, my great uncle passed away in my home. Ever since I was little I always maintained that there was a presence the house (it belonged to my grandmother at the time) and very few people believed me (unless they had an expierence of their own). When both of my children were babies they...

The Late Visitor by geneen

I used to work in a nursing home as an evening receptionist. One autumn evening, around 7:30 pm, some of the nurses had finished their shifts and were waiting for rides home. One nurse stopped to talk to me and then she was distracted. She asked me why the front entrance doors were opening if no one...

Attached From Childhood by AngryMada

As a child starting from around 6 years of age until very recently at 17 years of age I have had strange reoccurring paranormal events. To help the validity of my story I will only state the most memorable and unexplainable of the events that I can think of. The first occurrence I have ever had w...

Poltergeist In The Projects by jackhhonor

I had always wondered about the paranormal and was never sure whether or not to believe in it. I'm an atheist and never really thought I would ever see something of the paranormal nature. As of recently, I've come to the conclusion that it is very real. A few weeks ago I was at a friend's house ...

The Forgotten Man by luisma

I have posted here before, a few years back, since then paranormal episodes in my life have not completely stopped but I have not kept a journal or written about it. Today I want to talk about what has been happening for the last four years but first, a brief story of my neighborhood. I now live...

Shadowman In My Apartment 2 by eden319

A few weeks ago I posted a story on the spirit or whatever in my apartment. Http://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=19823 Since then there's been a fair amount of activity, but nothing threatening. I actually have a question. We have a receiver hooked up to our TV, with speaker...

Lonely Spirit? by eden319

About 13 years ago my mother bought an older house in Hillsdale, NY. It's a Greek Revival, about 175 years old, really a beautiful house. She bought it from a family that used it as a vacation home, but she and I moved in full time. My son had just been born with severe health problems, so I was at ...

Crying In The Night by ScaryHome234

I am really telling the truth. This is really seeming weird to me since I never had these kind of emotions. If you had something similar please tell me because I'm really scared. One night I was sleeping with my 2 sisters. It was a Friday night, and we decided to stay up. We started talking abou...

Ghosts Seem To Follow Me Anywhere I Go by ahmanduuuh

This "story" is not going to be about a specific one time, in fact it isn't about a specific location. I'm going to cover my experiences in my parent's old house and some experiences in my grandmother's current home, as well as other locations. I'll start with my parent's old home, since it is th...

This Blue Light Me And My Girlfriend Saw by PsychicMeadows

I live in Maspeth, NY. We have plenty of cemeteries here including New Calvary. I live in a semi-basement home with the back windows being yard floor level (our room is the back room/only room).

Electronic Historian by wolflover123

This happened a few days ago. My friend was sleeping over. We both had an IPad. I put mine down to stretch. Suddenly Siri turned on. I have no idea how this happened when my friend was on my window seat and I was on my bed. My IPad was on my hard dresser, so it couldn't have moved. So when Siri turn...

Don't Touch His Stuff by Ghostluver104

I'm new to this so my story might be a little rough. Ok so when I was about 12 I experienced something. When I was that age, I was very skeptical about spirits and ghosts. Ever since I lived in my new house I always felt a heavy presence. The man who was selling us the house said, "Don't touch h...

Unexplainable Things Happening In Our Home by mommy7195

It was on her dresser nowhere near h...

Many Ghost Experiences by vintageghost

I've come to this site to share some paranormal occurrences my friend and I have experienced. I wasn't born in America so if any of my English is wrong please excuse that!

Cat Sensing Spirits? by rrmr89

My little sister (Leah) sees ghosts/spirits. I have never seen/experienced what she says she sees but I very much believe her when she tells me about it. She's been seeing a black spirit her whole life but she says she only sees it at our house we grew up in. She sees other spirits/ghosts other plac...

Banshee And Other Encounters by rockergurl227

So all my life I have been a little sensitive. Feeling vibes in certain rooms, getting that "Gut" feeling about something. Even having dejavu occurring a lot. Just a lot of different experiences. The one thing I remember clearly as a child is hearing my name, as clear as day, usually followed by ask...

Little Girl In My Basement Part 3 by ghosthunter102

Since my last post about the girl in my basement a lot has happened, which has even convinced my once skeptical mother that there might be someone haunting our basement. A couple of weeks ago I was going into my basement to print something out for one of my classes. When you walk down the stairs ...
