Did An Evil Spirit Take Me Over? by alandhopewell

Back in the late 70's, we lived in a converted garage behind another house, my mother, my two brothers, and myself.

Flipping The Switch by Kuhlmad

I haven't been to the site much over the past year, usually only to read, never commenting. Life happens pretty quickly at times. The past year has flown by!

The Encounters by ssm21scott

The Underground Railroad House by hauntedlife19

It all began when I was 7 or 8. My parents wanted to move out to the country so we moved to the outskirts of the small town called Hollansburg. We came up on this house and it was absolutely beautiful, like one of those houses you see in books that everyone wants to live in. We went inside and looke...

Something Black Was There by cincinnati24

I was up late one night in early August of this year. It was around one in the morning and I was just relaxing and watching TV. I live a few mile away from a small airport and I heard a low flying plane so, since there wasn't anything else going on, I looked out the window at it. It was so low that ...

Unknown Hospital Watcher by SeanTrender

Strange Behavior And Random Noises by SoullessMuffinz

Lately, strange things have been happening. My dog, Lucy, has been growling at places like she did at the corner that one night I mentioned in my last story. One day before school, I was sitting on my living room couch (the same couch where my first story occurred) and she was laying on the floor in...

A Really Bad Trip by alandhopewell

This MAY have been a ghost story. All I can say for sure is that we were not alone out in the woods that night. This was the summer of '82, and it was the usual crew for camping then: Dave, Fernando, Frankie, and myself. We'd hiked to our usual campsite, had gotten there early, before 3:00, and w...

White Haired Lady by cincypaula

This past Fall I was sleeping alone because my boyfriend wanted to stay up a little longer to watch a show. As I am sleeping I am overcome by the feeling someone is walking towards me. It was so strange because I was sleeping, so how did this "feeling" wake me? But, I remember waking up but not open...

Toddler Sees Things That Frighten Him by mama2lucasriley

My son is almost 3 years old. About 2 months ago he started screaming off and on during bedtime saying that he sees "birdies". At first we thought this was a ploy to stay awake longer but the way he cried definitely had a "terrified" tone to it-not just a pretend cry. Sometimes it will happen before...

Seeing My Great-grandfather One Last Time by kaitlin_marie

Finding Out Jakob Lives Here Too by AliceRenee

My story starts when my mom, her boyfriend, and I moved into our new house. We live in a very small town in Ohio that has been around since the late 1800's.

Tv, Light Bulbs And The Man With No Face? by Zac804

This happened about a year ago. It was late, around one in the morning, and I was in the basement watching television.

A Cry For Help? by SoullessMuffinz

This is the story of the little boy that I mentioned in my last story. For years, I have gone without any real, solid encounters until this incident.

The Shadow: My Worst Experience by SoullessMuffinz

When I was 11 years old, my family moved into a 30 year old house in the countryside. From the start, I constantly felt like I was being watched.

The Scary by Miracles51031

Several weeks ago I got a call from my youngest stepdaughter. "I think there's something here," she said, "and I was wondering if you would come over one night and see if you can find anything."

More Than A Wake by NATAROX101

It was a normal and warm day in May. Well, about as warm as it's going to get in Cleveland. I was 12 years old and I had heard the news a few days ago that my Aunt Kathy's sister, Karen, had died.

Ghost Hunting With Loonies 4 by Miracles51031

Before I even left for our tour of Mansfield, things began for me. On the 9th of May I got a call on my cell from a number I didn't recognize. I didn't answer it and they didn't leave a voice mail. I realized it was an Ohio area code, though, and googled it. Strange, it was from Mansfield. Stranger ...

Where Did They Go? by alandhopewell

This story is one of those stories that, had someone told it to me, I'd probably figure they were having me on. If you decide that, I can't stop you. However, this story, as with all my other stories, is true. It was the summer of '82, and some of my friends and I were camping in the same general...

A Birthday To Never Forget by waffles

This event happened at my 10th birthday party. I was so excited! I was just turning double digits! So of course I would have a party! But the spirits didn't agree. I always knew that they were there. I also had the vibe that they weren't negative spirits at all. They only wanted to be heard, a...

Was It Mad At Me, Or Just Playing? by Adina_Smothermon

It was early in the morning, and the sun was barely up. I had woke up to a large sea shell in the bathroom crashing to the floor.

He Stole My Keys by AppleSauce27

The Restless Room by alandhopewell

By the spring of 1991, I'd pretty much gotten used to the fact that 1444 Broadway had some problems, to put it mildly...noises, lights, objects being moved or acting strangely were everyday things by then, and were generally more of a nuisance than a terror. The manifestations in the bathroom were j...

The Truth About What No One Will Speak by an9e1eyz24

For years I have doubted and questioned my own visions, feelings, and experiences. I over analyze and try to find a reason or cause to discredit my own sightings.

No One Can Help Me by alandhopewell

Back about the summer of '88, I'd walked up to an all-night gas station to buy some smokes-it was about half-past midnight.

Norm Nutman by Kuhlmad

I would like to start by saying that I really do believe in ghosts. They interest me, but at the same time scare me.

The Protector Outside by Tempe_Toxic

Being young! So close to being a teenager and having the rights that teenagers do that you could taste it. Those were the times.

The Egyptian Room by Tempe_Toxic

Past the white bike, under the double bridge, over the train tracks and across from the construction vehicles. That's all I remember on how to get to my uncle Cheese's house.

Being Watched At Night by clever210

This is the first experience that I had with seeing something in my room at night. I am positive that I was completely awake and not in any type of a dream like state.

Protective Spirit? by Nysa

Seeing Creepy Things At Night by clever210

Ever since I was in college, I have been seeing strange and sometimes creepy things at night when I am in bed. It's not sleep paralysis, because I am able to move around.

Old Farmhouse by Nysa

The following experience was not my first encounter with unexplained events, or my last, but it is the one I would most like to discuss with others. I consider this to be unexplained and though I suspect "ghostly" activity behind it, I am not by any means 100% sold on that explanation. Further, if i...

This Scared Me Silly... Not Sure Why by alandhopewell

During the last eighteen months I lived at 1444 Broadway, all kinds of strange things happened, from the cold spot in the vacant apartment across the hall (if you stuck your hand in it, it felt ice-cold, although a thermometer registered no change in temperature) to the shadowy figure I'd seen walk ...

Hospital Ghosts by InnerMomentas

I'm a Security Officer. However, I will not mention the company I work for. I don't feel it would be appropriate to do so. For the sake of the story though it was a hospital. That's all I can say about the facility I was assigned too on that peculiar night. As a Security Officer, I have no more a...

Ghostly Lesson by Tempe_Toxic

A little lesson, it is kind of what I feel like my life has become. Almost like one of those History Channel specials, Histories Mysteries. Haunted History. I have a long history with the paranormal.

I'll Never Be Alone Again by El-Duderino

Demon Outside The Door by LunaDarkmist1339

I guess I should start out by saying this: I have always believed in the supernatural. As a child I had a friend I called "Angel".

For The Record, Odd by alandhopewell

Even Now I Know What I Saw by AliceRenee

Strange And Electrifying by alandhopewell

From late 1989 until July of 1991, my apartment at 1444 Broadway in Lorain was the site of numerous unexplained phenomena.

Apparition On Broadway by alandhopewell

As I've mentioned before, the area to the south and west of Lorain has had a long history of unusual occurrences; our campgrounds are in this area. This story takes place near to an area known as Gore Orphanage. If you Google "Gore Orphanage", you'll get a number of listings about a legend of a...
