Happenings In Our Home - 2 by Zorro
I forgot to include this in the first part of the happenings in our home. There really shouldn't be a part 2. I've experience a lot in our home but some experiences are kind of boring so I'm just going to share things that stood out. I was watching TV and wanted to get a drink in the kitchen my b...
Pool Time by jojean78
My grandpa died in 2008 march 7th. It was a very big tragedy. My mom and I were just about to start volleyball practice, and we got a phone call from my grandma. I answered, and she was crying and then I knew exactly what had happened. She asked to talk to my mom, and I saw that tear run down her fa...
Nanny Joy by zoeee15
This happened to me when I was about 12 but I still remember it so well it feels like it's imprinted on my brain. I was staying at my grandma's house. I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep when this strong smell of brownies came into my room. It was past nine at night and I know that my grandma w...
Graveyard Adventures In A Jewish Cemetery by Fuzzysocks
About a year ago I visited my first graveyard with my two best friends. It was my friend's birthday and she lived down the street of a Jewish cemetery. The cemetery is divided into two sections. One section is gated and usually locked at night. The other section is way smaller and the gate is usuall...
Happenings In Our Home by Zorro
I never really understood why my sixth sense is slightly opened. I tried my hardest to ignore them but I could really sense their presence in our home. I'm going to share two stories that happened in our home. I was seating in our sala (living room) and watching TV. My brother was across the room...
The Man And The Toy by Bump
I have a few stories to tell. I'll start with my earliest encounter. I was around 3 years old when I moved with my mum, step-dad and our dog Tory into a housing block near the hospital where they use to work. They worked in Garrawarra Hospital, Australia now a little history on the location. It was ...
Home Made Ouija Board by Mercury_Lyn
This happened over a year ago. It was my last week of school of my sophomore year. I don't remember the date exactly just that it was the first week of June 2009. I live in a 110 year old Victorian Mansion in Pennsylvania. And ever since my two older sisters, mother, step father and nephew have live...
My School Their Yard by x10
When I was younger we lived on an island, and a paranormal story is common among locals. When I was in elementary school, we had girl and boy scouts' camping weekend. We always stayed on the school grounds for the weekend; camping. Our school was a good location for camping because we had a huge "pl...
Haunted Bucks County Far House - 2 by BrandonCR
First off, I would like to apologize to all of those who have read my previous story. This story will not be as vivid and it will lack the "up close and personal" style that my first story had. I say this because these accounts are from family members of mine, they all happened at the same farm hous...
Oh My God by amiechococat
My name is Amy. I don't know if this was a ghost or spirit in my apartment, or what it could have been. It was about 10:00 a.m. An ordinary day like any other. I lived in Laguna Vista, Texas at the time. I got up early to give my baby daughter a bottle; she was about 2 months old. I always gave her ...
Did I See My Grandad? by RoniS
I always use to stay at my grandads and my nana's every weekend. Until my granddad passed away in 2006. I couldn't stay after that I found it too hard. My nana was really down and upset and low one day so I thought that I would stay and keep her company and it was a few months after he passed away, ...
Cat Reincarnation by Dottie78
This is not a ghost story, but about reincarnation of a beloved pet, which I never believed in, until now. When I was 13, my mother brought home a cat that a coworker of hers gave her. Before bringing him home, she showed me a picture and I instantly fell in love! His name was Oliver. After brin...
The Creeper Spirit In My Basement by Pendragon
Aright I've mentioned this little guy a fair few times. He's (I'm fairly certain it's male, anyway) a pain in my butt, and makes my Basement at my father's house less than bearable, almost to the point of my first story, about my house in Ogden. Other than one thing - I don't think he wants me out, ...
Ghost Of The Bride by lildixie
During the last week of June, I was driving on a road known as the "old Paris Highway" that was used to travel from Hugo, Oklahoma to Paris, Texas. Also known as old 271, it travels through the small town of Grant, Oklahoma. Approximately one quarter of a mile south of Grant the road passes under an...
Not Wanted by UnknownSky
I live in the country of North Carolina, out in Person County to be more exact. One day while riding here and there on my four-wheeler, I actually caught a glimpse of an old graveyard. It was somewhat covered in all sorts of plant-life but once I got a good look at it I realized that some graves wer...
I'm Not As Scared Anymore by EmeraldAngel
Thank you people for this wonderful website and for taking the time to read this story, Katherine is here to tell of what's been going on this past month or two. Lately, my belief in spirits has increased along with my faith to God. I don't go to Church to often being a lazy Christian-Catholic. I st...
Shadows, Footsteps And Paralysis by SeventySeven
I have had many sleep paralysis experiences before, but last night was the most terrifying. I reside in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am recently 23 years old and I have recently moved in with my girlfriend. The apartment we are moving into is being renovated, so we are temporarily bunked in a furnis...
Not-so-happy Spirits In My Ogden Home by Pendragon
Quick background, so you know where these stories take place - I was born and raised in Alberta, Canada, and most of my encounters have been in my homes as I grew up. Not only will I be getting around to telling more of my stories, but also my family's stories, because I know they will not put their...

This encounter occurred on June 6th 2007 I live in Sandy city Utah and travel throughout Utah and its neighboring states. In my travels I have encountered many ghosts, spirits and such. One of the scariest encounters happened when I went to the Ted Bundy house in Utah with my brother and some of ou...
An Autumn Evening by SeseAlice
It was the autumn of 2006 when my story took place, which made me 10 years old. I was at my grandmother's house, and my brother, grandmother and I were watching something on TV. Let me describe the living room: when you walk in there from the kitchen, dead ahead there is the balcony door, and just...
