Experiences In My Family Home by forthkind

I grew up in a beautiful house with my parents and 2 siblings. I've always been sensitive to spiritual activity and this house definitely had that. It all started when I was about 5 or 6 and I felt drawn to certain areas of the house. I'd spend hours playing by myself, or at least my parents thought...

Some Interesting Happenings In My Childhood Home by brennessel

I grew up in the North East of England in a house built sometime during the 70s, which is where this story takes place. There was no bad feeling connected with anything that happened there, in fact I look back on it with a kind of fondness and interest. The only thing that scared me took place wh...

What's Wrong With Me? by CammiAlice

So before I start I just want to say that this isn't an experience, more of a description throughout my life. I need some answers to my problem and I want to know if there is anyone else out there that is like me. People who are born with this 'gift' of seeing ghosts seem to have it all their liv...

From April 2011 to April 2012, myself and 5 friends (all mid-twenties) shared a house in Bow, East London. My bedroom which I shared with my then boyfriend was the only bedroom at the front of the house facing the street. There was one bedroom at the back, one at the side and one downstairs. The liv...

The Lady With The Lipstick by SineadKatShakespeare

I was only about two years old. My mother and grandmother were painting the house, and didn't want me to get dirty, so they put me in my travel cot in my bedroom. Once they'd left me for about half an hour, they heard me start laughing. Apparently, I was also screaming, yet I wasn't at all scared. T...

Fight With A Spirit by Bhoothnath

This is my first story and its very short so I apologize in advance if its not interesting. I will address the presence as IT. A few months back I had this really wierd feeling that there was something or someone's presence in the house apart from my family. The feeling I got was of darkness, whi...

My Unnerving Childhood Experience by fi

Before I go on I feel it important to stress that I strive to be a rational person, I hold no religious belief and take a sceptical approach to any form of the bizarre. However I find myself haunted (if you'll pardon the pun) by the events that I experienced as a child, which completely contradict a...

Warwick University Ghost by MrsB1509

Coincidence Or Did I Hear An Incident 20 Miles Away? by Lakota73

This story happened in August 2011. My old workplace is situated on a fairly new industrial estate with a main carriageway and a motorway running along either side. This particular morning, I'd just pulled into the car park. Nothing out of the ordinary, to begin with. My routine was pretty mu...

Pushy Robert by chimchim

I was visiting a friend who lives in Sheffield, UK. She rents a row house, which was probably built around 1900 for steel workers, like all the other houses in the neighborhood. The garden shed was originally an outdoor toilet, so that gives you some idea of the date of construction. My friend an...

Haunting Of An Old Teacher by tulisafan123

The maths department at our school used to be the chemistry department, where Bunsen burners were used. There was a story of an old chemistry teacher whose hair got caught in the Bunsen burner.

The Family Legacy by Lastingdreams

This story is more a plea for assistance. Two years ago, the woman who raised me passed, who I called auntie but was in fact a distant cousin once removed, leaving me all her worldly possessions and the rather beautiful country house she had brought me up in. Though not a day goes by in which I d...

The Little Boy And The Footsteps In The Living Room by kittyalice

I have always been a little skeptical about ghosts, thinking they were just things that other people saw and I never would. But after reading about the experiences of some people on here, I discovered that a few of the experiences I have had were unusual and (I hope) worth posting. I'll write the tw...

The Vanishing Little Girl by hammy97

The Ghostly Whisper That Saved My Life by Lakota73

I can't remember exactly what age I was when this happened, but at a rough guess I was between 10 and 12. My parents had bought me a dog, Dasha, in 1984, and he became my best friend.

Dreams Of People In My Home by GraceyB

I often have bad dreams where I see people in my house. Sometimes they shout at me, sometimes they say nothing, they feel more like hallucinations than dreams most times.

Strange Ghost Cat by cookieismine

I've had a few ghostly cat experiences in my house, one of the most recent ones was one I experienced with my sister. Unlike other ghost experiences, it didn't scare me. I think the reason it didn't scare me is because it was an animal. I have two cats, Sooty, black and white, and Nibbles, a grey...

Ridgeway by Laurosawrrrr

Once in a while I search for ghost stories etc. Which is how I came across this site two weeks ago, when it reminded me of my own experience/dream.

NOTE: The following ghost experience happened when I was about 11 or 12 years old, so only a few years ago. It was my first ghost experience, but my whole life I have felt different.
