Ghost stories from Australia: Page 2

Followed To My Room by terranigma

I have so many stories and experiences to publish here that it almost becomes overwhelming when I think about it and mostly I just give up the thought of publishing more but this happened just this morning at 5am. My partner and I moved to Ashfield in Sydney's inner west NSW about 3 months ago. W...

A Lesson For The Prankster by Rex-T

The experiences I am about to relate, happened a long time ago and are seen through the eyes of a naïve 11 year old boy. In my attempt to stick to the truth, there may be parts that are vague, please just put this down to father time defeating my old memory. I am the 11 year old, with two brothe...

My Timeline Of Experiences (2) by bbqcthulhu

After witnessing the gigantic dog was when I became increasingly sensitive. I'd see sporadic miniature orbs of light of all colours about my room (which I believe to be the nymphs I used to play with and build mud stick houses for as a child), I was never scared of these little lights, I remember fe...

My Timeline Of Experiences by bbqcthulhu

It's roughly around 2001-2002, and I was about 5 years old. The odd occurrences began when we moved half an hours drive up north of Bulahdelah, NSW. We went from a small rural town to an even smaller rural town, where we lived roughly 20 minutes on the outskirts of this rural place, in the middle of...

Under The Bed by MsTeek

When I was growing up in far north Queensland I was told that a small bowl of water or a belt on the end of your bed would keep spirits away while you slept, unfortunately I found as I got older that it wasn't as simple as that. In 2013 I was 18 years old and just moved in with my first boyfriend...

Ghost In The Wire? by Rex-T

In the summer of January 1989, I was the supervisor of approximately thirty maintenance technicians for a large Australian telephone company, based in Sydney's northern suburbs. Our function was to detect, isolate and fix faults on our customers' telephone lines. To be successful in our roles, we...

Closest Thing To A Demon by Tweed

This is not about demons or devils. This is about the man who is technically my grandfather. He died before I was born. No one mourned him, and I mean no one. He was a pedophile, alcoholic, violent, abusive individual. On first impression he was a charming man, handsome, polite, personable. But h...

It's A Fox! by Tweed

As if! This takes place Christmas (2015), the exact date I can't be sure. Somewhere around then, but not the actual 25th. Anywhoo, let's get cracking with the Christmas spirit! Turns out my Dad has become the biggest denier of anything paranormal. This has no doubt rubbed off from my Stepmum, ...

1800's Child Ghost by Mitzij88

This experience happened in 2015 when I was living in a unit on Logan St Beenleigh QLD with my best friend. Many other things happened in this unit to me as well however I will just write about the relevant one. It was daytime and I was home alone standing in the kitchen washing dishes. I felt l...

The Tuck Shop Toilets by Lollipopspace

My goodness. I have had my share of scary occurrences over the past few years but this has to be my scariest occurrence. This happened the other day and I am so scared from it that I cannot be alone. So we have these toilets that are next door to the tuck shop (cantine) and they are very old. Th...

Staying Home Alone by Lollipopspace

This story is very fresh in my mind since it only happened a few days ago. My mother let me and my brother stay are home for the first time by ourselves. Now everything was great at first so much freedom we could eat what we wanted, look at our iPads as much as we wanted. But things soon changed...

Brisk Walker by Tweed

This is a peculiar series of events that involve a man who simply walks home. I'm not sure this person is a ghost and don't really know what to think, actually. When I was 10 we moved to a house where I first encountered 'The Dancer'. We moved there in late 1991 and Mum moved out in 2007. During ...

Granny Roselands House by Lollipopspace

Today I have a story for you that is very scary for me but might be a bit sad. Also this is fairly recent in my memory I'd say it was about a month ago now. I was chilling at my grandparents house which is quite large. I hated (and still do) going up the stairs alone when nobody else is in the house...

The Jonny Man by Lollipopspace

Lately I've been thinking, about how in my early child hood (I was about 3 years) there was the Jonny man. Now my memory is a bit hazy since it was so many years ago but here is what I remember. When I was 2 years old my dad came home with this door stop. It was the size of a child mannequin and had...

Intruder by MK2019

I previously wrote an experience on this website titled Ghost at my bed. This is another experience I had at that same house and I believe the same ghost. My mother, sister and I had just moved into a new home. It was about 7pm and the sun had just set. I had been in my room on my laptop and real...

A Last Goodbye by luckdragon

August 1997, suburban Sydney, NSW Australia I was sitting in my office at work one afternoon, when I had a phone call to say my father, aged 56, had collapsed and been taken to hospital. I immediately rang the hospital, to be told that he had passed away, heart attack. I had to go to my mother...

The Liverpool Ghost by luckdragon

I am a 50 year old female. This is my first story. For 6 years from 1989 to 1995 I lived in a housing commission unit in Liverpool Sydney, with my daughter aged 2 - 8, single mother. During these 6 years many "ghosty" things happened. I will try to be brief with each of them. I had many occurr...

A Principal's Last Goodbye by ProjectGrenade

To start you off with some background, I have been attending my current school for three years now, and this happened on the last day of my second year. For a while before, we had a kind principal, whom I will call Mr Phil for sake of anonymity. He was always a joy to be around and was well known to...

Woman In The White Wedding Dress by dean1985

My name is Deano I am 32 years old, married, and work as a scaffolder for a small company in cairns far north Queensland Australia. I moved here from a small country town at the top of Victoria called Mildura roughly 8 years ago with my then girlfriend of 3 years. I have always been very skeptical...

Creepy Night- Our Visitor by SarahMaree

We live in Cairns Australia and this happened 08/DEC/2016 This morning I woke up and told my partner that I'd had the weirdest dream last night that there was something in the house. But I never went into detail with him. [I call it a dream because I wasn't panicking or terrified, but it wasn't...

A Demon Said My Name And Made Me Sick by Alisha94

In 2012, my girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me and I was at the lowest point in my life, mentally. I believe this is the reason for what I went through... One night I was lying in bed about to go to sleep when I felt something playing with my hair. I knew it was paranormal but it didn't bothe...

Tour Of Terror by kaitlin406

Before I begin this story I should probably give some background about the place the ghost experience took place and about myself at the time. This particular event happened around a year ago in Victoria, Australia at a well known asylum called Aradale Asylum and was pretty much where the 'loonies...

Haunting In The Home by Susannah

This is my first story, however needless to say, my family and I have been experiencing an array of paranormal experiences within the family home since 1997. This is when we first moved into our house. I'm from Canberra, Australia. My family, that being my mother, father, two sisters, myself and...

Weird Events by paranormal-lover

When I was eleven, I went through this phase of being highly into watching those ghost hunter shows with my parents. I wanted to prove to them and myself that I was brave, so I would spend all afternoon and weekends watching these shows. In the end, they effectively scared the shiat out of me and I ...

Candy Man by jennie

This happened about 4 years ago. I was sharing a house with a friend and her two teenage daughters. There was a lot of ghostly activity at this house. For example, if you had a shower at night the light in the bathroom would always turn off, things would spontaneously fall off benches, things like t...

The Stereo by Jager

If you have read my other stories you will know that I grew up in a very old house in Australia. Most of my experiences were in that old wood house and this one is the next in order of time from what I can best remember. I believe it was a late afternoon when I was about 14 or 15 years old, and ...

My Teenage Haunting by Evans

I am from Canberra, Australia. This story recounts my time living in a haunted house in the late 1990s, when I was a boy. All of it is true, as best as memory allows: I have not embellished anything, and where I wasn't entirely sure around details, I have omitted them for the sake of clarity and hon...

Unseen Amusement by scottishrose

This story is still one of the ones that baffles me. I've been unable to explain it and this isn't the only time this has happened. One morning, about a year ago (2015m I don't remember the exact date), I woke late as I am prone to do around 10:30am. Naturally, after going about my morning routin...

Black Swan Of The Lake by Tweed

Ringwood Lake is a popular park in the Melbourne suburb of (surprise surprise) Ringwood. If you ever spent time there in the 80's or 90's chances are you encountered the black swan. No one knew where it came from, my parents suspect someone dumped it there. But I doubt that. This swan was the only s...

Green Room by Tweed

In the early 80's, we lived across the road from some lovely people with whom my parents were great friends. My parents lived in this house from the 70's to 80's. I loved hanging around the adjacent neighbours and being in their home but there was one room I could not stand to be in, their lounge...

Tarot Mystery (side A) by Tweed

Divided this into two sides, as it deals with the same time frame. I began writing this around Christmas time. Between now and then there were some nasty developments. This account starts to feel less fluent around the halfway mark, due to heavy emotions at the time. In retrospect the tarot, a di...

Sensation Of Being Watched by Lucas_mclerie

This is a story about a real experience that has happened to my friend and I. Overview: This started some years ago but my friend and I will get the occasional sense that we are being watched by something not from this world. Detailed story: Some years ago, my friend came to my house for a sle...

Gold Coast Activity by Tbeartuff

I have always been sensitive to the, for lack of better term, paranormal. My parents have numerous stories of me just stopping in random places and having conversations with people who are not there, and working in an older (30+ years) aged care facility I have had more than my share of experiences....

Connection Or Coincidence by Baiowl21

Since about the age of fourteen there have been many significant events that have seemed 'paranormal', though some were in a house I used to live in and then more in the house I live in now. I sometimes wonder whether it was a coincidence that we live in two houses with activity or whether perhaps s...

Little Boy Lost by Sarsem

To start my story off, I'm going to tell you a little bit about myself. I am the eldest of 5 children and the only girl. I have always been sensitive to surroundings and the way that they feel. Along with my Dad and one of my brothers, who are very sensitive, we seem to be the ones that seem to come...

Am I Being Followed Or Looked After? by BecauseofThem

I know many people may disregard this because I am only a young teen but please read this. I don't think it will come out as too much of a story as I have a few disabilities and I am sorry for that. So here goes. I've always believed in spirits of all kinds and I believe there is a heaven and hel...

The Haunted Terrace House by Matty-matt

This is my second submission on this site. I mentioned in my first one that I had a few unexplained things happen while I was growing up, I will first explain the house and its layout, as the main incident of this submission will be better understood that way. I grew up in the inner west of Sydn...

Body Under The Sandstone Slab by demonkitty101

This isn't my story, but one my mother has brought up now and then, an experience of her own. I'm very interested in all things paranormal and supernatural, an interest I share with my mother, but we are both sceptics - my mother more than me, definitely! - and this story had come up from time t...

The Beginning Of My Living Nightmare by MissPanda

This is my first story on this site and I apologize if I'm not the greatest storyteller. I just wanted to share what has been going on pretty much my whole life. This may have to be done in multiple stories but I'll get what I can into this... Just some background info, the house we live in was d...

Hotel Shadow Man by Littlebutterfly

About 5 years ago, I had to travel interstate for work related training. I had arrived at the hotel late and checked into my room. Anyway, I had a shower and watched a bit of television in bed before trying to get some sleep as I knew I had to be up early the next morning. It was a large room, w...

The Balloon Ghost by lianakathryn

This is my first story, and it freaked me out. I have a friend (an adult) and I seriously think her house is haunted. I saw the first sign about 2 months ago. The owners of the house have twins (one year old) and one of them has this balloon that she loves. She has had it for about a year (it's r...

Glimpsing The Future by Macknorton

I originally posted this experience in the sister-site "Psychic Experiences" a few months ago now, but no one bothered to comment (gee) so I thought I'd share on this site. This isn't so much a ghost (or alien) story but it's (I think) fascinating and, if published, will hopefully create some robust...

Strange Shadow Figure by Nfoj00

I'm fifteen years old, I live in Western Australia and I have no idea if I'm going crazy or there is another presence in my house. So it began about last year when I woke up in the middle of the night. I had a really strange urge to check on my parents- as if something was wrong. So I got out of ...

Strange Neighbors & Dark Men by sxrahhhhhhhhhh22096

My house has always been very eerie but somewhat cozy. It had it's phases. This incident in particular occurred in 2012 when I was 19. I had come home from a late night with my friends and I was very sober because I was driving that night (I don't drink anyway). Next door to us lived a very, let...

Mysterious Necklace by shelly_2429

So, on Halloween night, me and a few friends decided to get dressed up all scary, so we got some old white shirts and put fake blood all over them. At the time we were all at my friend Cassie's house, and I decided to take my necklace off (it is a cross) and put it in my bag as I didn't want it ...

The Airmen On The Abandoned Strip by Firezone

My story begins when I was invited by a friend to take a weekend camping trip on his family property. The bottom paddock backs on to the Brisbane River and in 1940 it was resumed by the War Department to build a training and emergency airfield. During the war, both USAAF and RAAF personnel were stat...

The Sandy Figure by Claire_Ghosts

I had my first paranormal encounter when I was 8 years old. I was in grade 2 at primary school in Australia. I have a twin brother and live with both my parents. When I was 8, I was very interested in ghost stories and ghost sightings etc, you name it and I've seen it! So I had seen some pretty scar...

Grinning Man by Os07

My nan's house has always had the 'your not alone' feeling in it. I have seen orbs flying around with my own eyes. Usually snake like orbs. My mother has seen them too. I remember when me, my sister and my mother were living at my nan's while she was on holiday. We were sleeping in her spare room...

Insanely Haunted House, Part 2 by Os07

I decided to wait until the kids were at school and come over and do a Ouija board with my mother, I wanted to see if maybe the woman who passed was still there just wanting to be heard. My cousin decided to join in, my sister was there too, and my nanna so we all did the Ouija board together, with ...

Odd Feelings And Experiences by Armin

I was at a friend's house and we were trying to talk to one of her relatives, so we got on the Ouija board. We followed all the instructions, not playing alone and not asking certain questions. After a few minutes of no responses we were starting to give up and when we all took our hands off the...
