Headless Ghost by Clairvoyant94

I am teenager but I am about to tell is not a lie or joke, I take ghost/ ghost hunting very seriously. This story gives me chills every time I talk about it, at the time I was fifteen.

I'm not going to go into much detail, but here's a bit. My story started about late summer 2004.

I Need My Mommy 3 by Miracles51031

After reading LouSlip's story "Walter in the Basement," I decided it was time to submit this story. I've held off because I, like Lou, wasn't sure how it would be received. As some of you know, I had a little girl ghost when my daughter, Jerrica, was little. I've submitted two stories about her, "...

Cast-iron Haunting by alandhopewell

The year was nineteen seventy-five, and I was nineteen years old when this happened. I was unemployed, a common occurrence for me, and that summer, I was picking up as many odd jobs as I could, as were many of my friends. In addition, I sometimes engaged in things that weren't exactly legal, like sc...

Eerie Crime by alandhopewell

About four months before I moved out of 1444 Broadway, around March of 1991, I was heading home after visiting my mother. It was an unseasonably warm night for March, so walking home was a pleasure. It was about a quarter to eleven at night, and I planned to stop at home long enough to check my mail...

And They Came by Miracles51031

Some of you know me and know that my profile name means my kids. If you've read my stories, you know that I've lost 5 babies. When I was pregnant with my son Dalton, who is now 9, I was so afraid of losing him. I'd lost 3 babies within 9 months before getting pregnant with him, and was expecting eve...

What Was She? by alandhopewell

Its summer, 1981, and I'm riding my old ten-speed bike over the Henderson Bridge in Lorain one night.

The bridge spans the Black River, rising to one hundred feet between the walkway and the w...

Booby-trap For A Spirit by alandhopewell

One Saturday evening, Dave, Buddi and I were sitting in my living room, discussing a common topic of conversation, i.e. The evident haunting of the building I lived in.

Grandpa Or Ghost? by confused101

My story starts the day that my grandpa died. It was my cousin's 15th birthday so I and my mom went to go buy a cake and run other errands for my grandma. Every place that we stopped at us found a dime. I keep finding dimes to this day everywhere that I go. On my first day of high school we prayed...

The Black Thing by EliteParanoid

It started out with my older brother, his friends, and I in the woods along the bike-trail behind the Countryside YMCA in Lebanon, Ohio.

I Wasn't Imagining by BrittDazzle

When I was younger I'd constantly be moving back and forth between my parents houses. It was hard to make friends, and I would normally stick to myself. When I was about 10 we moved into a new house, and I could remember being deathly afraid of the hallway, I would never go down it if it was dark...

Daylight Phantom Hiker by alandhopewell

My friends and I used to go hiking and camping every spring and summer, in an area known as the Bacon Woods. We had a number of odd events happen over the years there.

Haunted House Terror by Ghostygirl

Before anything, I would like to take a moment to say that our house was built by my grandfather who died before I was born, so the house is fairly new, and the only death I know of was my grandfather when he died of a heart attack in the shower. It all started when I was eight years old, and was...

Unexplained by Sharp3003

I have never talked about this with anyone since it has happened.

The Kilroy Creature by 113

When I was in grade school, I would sometimes have trouble falling asleep. On these occasions I would usually just lie there in bed, waiting to feel sleepy.

Helpful Ghosts In Our Home by Miracles51031

Glowing Cross Of Milan, Ohio by hplove75

This story is one of only two paranormal experiences I have had in my life, which I can say is certifiably true...

Man In The Hallway by alexakae19

I was 3 years old and I was lying in bed. It was pretty late when my mother would wake up to me screaming her name.

Game Room Shadow People by EmeraldFlash

I was inspired to share this story after reading about several similar experiences on this site. This had happened to me about 12 years ago, and it wasn't until very recently (2009) I realized others had been through the same frightening and confusing experience. I have had other paranormal experien...

They Were Everywhere by TinaBug1975

I am not sure how much of this story was true and how much of it was "power of suggestion" but I know some strange things happened in a neighborhood I used to live in.

Old Hag Or Just Exhaustion? by dougquaid

Retrospectively, it doesn't seem that scary, but when it happened, it did shake me up quite a bit. It happened in the current ...

My 3 Year Old Son by forgiven

My son Seth lately has been saying things out of normal. At first I thought he was having night terrors but then I heard him talking. I myself have never seen or heard anything so I cannot say this is true but things he says makes me to believe he is seeing something and talking to someone. He w...

The Third Shift Hauntings by TinaBug1975

My first story takes place in Copley, Ohio, not far from Cleveland. I had just started dating my first, late husband. One evening, while I was visiting his house, we started telling ghost stories.
