This happened on the property next to the Crater of Diamonds in Murfreesboro, Arkansas.

A big creek separated The Crater of Diamonds and the proper...

More Haunted Hotel Encounters by MOONxCHILD1985

My husband and I and our cat were living in one of the hotel rooms. There's a long metal heating pipe that sticks out of the floor and horizontally stretches across the side wall of the room. Next to where the pipe sticks out, there's a little hole in the floor. When you look down the hole it's pitc...

U F Orange by CantunSEEit74

While investigating and contacting many on my Stick Indian encounter, and talking to UFO Washington, I shared my only UFO sighting with him. He assured me the military will not bother people anymore for reporting them so after five years now I will share my only UFO sighting. I told the man who boug...

I Think I Saw My Father's Doppelgänger by theyluvdea

My name is Deasia, I'm 15 but I was 14 when this happened in January or February of 2023. I know I wasn't hallucinating or having delusions, I was sitting on the couch it was around 10 or 11 pm. All my family members have gone to sleep and I'm always the last one to fall asleep in the house. I remem...

Did Something Followed Me? by lwgrn4real66

If you read about my prior published true unexplained experience (sorry, kind of lengthy), but that experience was back to back for about an hour and half, which I had experienced. Long story short, things started happening in numbers of "five". I think something may have followed me to my dad's...

Sounds During Solar Eclipse by StarBird

I am unsure if this ties into anything from my last bit I posted. But it's currently 3:13 as I write this, and it's during the Solar Eclipse, and I'm hearing stuff. Way more than usual in the house, and it's not even coming from in the house. I keep hearing knocking on my doors, and no one is here. ...

Historic Haunt by Linjahaha

Way back in 1972, I was involved in a Summer Co-ed Work/Job Training Program that was set up through the High School, Willoughby South High, that I attended. I secured a position at the historic Garfield Home Museum in Mentor, Ohio, as a tour guide. I had been to that museum a couple times growing ...

Knocking At My Window? by Sign_Me_up

I still get the creeps when telling this story. About 9 months ago, at the end of July, my family and I went on vacation to a spot in Virginia (We've been going to the same spot for 5 years straight.) It was the middle of the night when I woke up to this light tapping at the window across fro...

The Haunting Of My House by I_love_ducks24

During the first 8 months of me living here in this house that was built in the 1800s. I saw a black shadow figure of a girl that dragged my dog under the bed. My dog was held under my bed for 10 minutes. My parents didn't believe what I saw until they had their own experience. One night my sister...

Black Panther, Trying To Get My Foot by Garm99

Before I lived where I do now, I use to live in a neighborhood in the suburbs of Alabama, specifically in Crestwood, on south hall RD. The house was not really old and had been built in 1963 or there about. From what I remember we really did not have any other kids in the neighborhood it was full of...

Clicking Noises by Dindin

I just moved to Kentucky from Illinois. I've been here a month and until last night I've not experienced a haunting. The place I left had a lot of action that was happening regularly. I even accidentally recorded 2 ghost voices and heard those voices myself afterwards a few times. The reason I'm ...

Gaping Black Holes For Eyes by Different444

My first paranormal experience happened when I was around 7 years old. I was in my mom's bedroom, snooping through her things. I looked up into the mirror of her vanity and standing in the corner facing and watching me was a young girl, she wore a white dress that was torn. The thing that truly f...

Nursing Home 2nd Experience by Mbcmsj6

So tonight, about 45 minutes or so ago, I was in a residents room, he was talking about how the lady above him wouldn't leave him alone and let him sleep. I asked what she looked like... (he described the same lady that my other residents described in my last post 😱)! I was trying to ease my mind...

My Amazing Mother-in-law by Linjahaha

Not too many people have good things to say about their mother-in-laws, but mine was wonderful. Actually, Mary was like another Mother to me in many respects. She was so thrilled when John met me, and he introduced me to her about four days after we met on our first date. Like I said in previous po...

The Shadow I Saw At A Hotel I Was At by Wandering24fox

Last month I was staying in a hotel and I couldn't sleep. I went to sleep at 1am and as I was waking up, I saw a shadow peeking from the bathroom and I decided to use the toilet. Although I saw a shadow there peeking from the bathroom I just used it because I really needed to use it As I turne...

The Hangry Ghost, Strange Sounds And The Shadow Hand by 8-bitDemigod

These first couple of events happened a few years ago at work. I should have included them in my previous story about the hospital, but they were so minor I forgot about them until a few days ago so I figured I'd include them here to help pad out the character limit for the actual story at the end. ...

What Did The Dog See? by Midd23

This is incident happened to me when I was about 17 years old, around 1980, give or take. Timelines start running together as one grows older, but the details of this story are as fresh as the afternoon it happened. My father, being in the military, was stationed at the large Air Force Base in San...

Room 113 by CantunSEEit74

We were watching the news one night and they were showing the Twin Falls all lit up with changing lights in Twin Falls Idaho and we decided to go.

The Old Maternity Hospital Part 2 by Linjahaha

This is a continuation of my last post regarding a very old maternity hospital, built in 1902, and was operated by the Salvation Army named after their founder, William Booth. The hospital operated until it closed in 1991. I worked there as a housekeeper in 1977. They, apparently, had a female gho...

Our Haunted First Apartment by Linjahaha

Way back in 1972 I was a newlywed to my first husband; Bill, the bum (Feel the love here). We ran away to Kentucky to get married because you could get married there at 16 years old without parental consent. It was 2 weeks after I turned 18 and I could leave Ohio at 18 as 'that' was, then, considere...

Larry, Looking For Trouble And Finding It by Linjahaha

Here is another account that happened to my late husband, John, when he was between 16-18 years old. He had this friend named Larry. He thought Larry was a bit of a lamebrain, but they shared an interest in working on cars back when you 'could' work on a car before they became so computerized. They ...

Dog Doesn't Believe That There's Nothing There by RussLesco

We moved into a historic home in Diamond Hill neighborhood of Lynchburg, VA in 2019 With us were our 2 dogs, one large bouvier with arthritis and the other an active, but older hound dog. The bouvier couldn't make up the stairs, so he slept downstairs whereas the hound dog followed us up every ...

Too Cold For Comfort by flyboy72

Recently I placed a trail camera in my backyard to capture the deer feeding at night as well as to see what other animals may be around. Usually I turn it off during the day but being in a rush that morning I had left it on. The camera was focused from one corner of the yard so it cover the entire a...

The Speakeasy Ghost by KnightRaven

There was an old store in Pueblo, CO that had some paranormal activity. My girlfriend's mother had a religious store and leased the building next door for storage. They were small storefronts so she needed them both to make it work. My girlfriend and I needed an emergency place to live so her mom le...

Philbert The Pizza Ghost by Hezza000

So, this started a few years ago at my old job at a pizza place. I don't have great memory so this won't be a fluent story, more like disorganized highlights. It started not long after we began working there. Stuff thrown, things missing, but I didn't think much about until I noticed the footprint...

Out Of The Gloom In Gladstone by BettinaMarie

In Multnohmah County, the city of Gladstone on the whole has a very weird vibe, like a bomb site or a slave plantation. When I lived there it was a pretty neighborhood on the riverbank, with big yards and nice trees. I believe this lingering gloom is because of some forty thousand Multnohmah people ...

Spooked In Portland by BettinaMarie

Many years ago I was part of the Portland restaurant scene, working and partying after hours in haunted buildings around the PDX- Metro area. It would be very interesting to see if anyone else had similar haunting experiences, back in the day. In Portland, my favorite haunted place you could sti...

Staying At Grandpa's House by The_Lost_Voyage_11

When I was a boy, one of my favorite places to spend at least part of the weekend was with my grandpa! He was my mom's father and lived in a bigger town less than 10 miles away from us in upstate NY. I have fond memories of family reunions and spending time as kids up there. He had an old toy box of...

Esther's Boarding House by Linjahaha

Back in 1972 about 2 weeks after I turned 18, I eloped with Bill, my first husband, to Catlettsburg, KY. My parents didn't approve of him to begin with. I have to 'agree' many years after the fact that 'they' were 'right'. I 'thought' I knew everything at that young age, but most 18-year olds 'think...

Get Frightened-learn A Lesson by Linjahaha

This happened many years ago when I was a dumb kid, & messed with something I shouldn't have only to regret it later. My cousins, C., & K. (Just using the initials for privacy reasons.) lived in Cleveland. My folks would take us to visit with them quite frequently through the years when we were grow...

My Friend's House by Kest

A couple of years ago a coworker/friend was stressing out. Her husband and son wanted to go on a hunting/camping trip and she had no one to watch her cat.

Quaint Wasn't So Quaint by Desdemona

Many years ago, my husband and I moved to southern Colorado for his job. We settled into this quaint little two-bedroom apartment in a 75-year-old house in an old mining town. At first everything seemed so nice. It was small but quaint, lots of windows, a nice little fenced in yard for our dogs to p...

High Vibration Spiritual Energy Portal by The_Lost_Voyage_11

This is something I'm still trying to make sense of and like a huge jigsaw puzzle, I continue to get more and more pieces to help me form a bigger picture. To give some background it involves an abandoned building near the small town I live near. The building is part of a sprawling complex that c...

Meditation Encounter by Spirit2022

I'm not sure how to start this really. But here goes... A little back history for this experience. My mother's upbringing was quite tumultuous. Very chaotic, abusive etc. She brought that with her as she lived. She always had a dark cloud just lingering above her, and she never knew quite how...

The Day My Father Died by phear_xiong

I don't know if this story falls under ghost stories or paranormal experiences, but I am sharing a very personal experience for me. As the title states it is a day I will never forget!

A Few Experiances by kowalkoj

Incredible Orb Footage by Granny-Flats

I have been recording hundreds of orbs in my yard the last few nights. Can only be seen on infrared. Too cold for bugs. No precipitation or wind. I don't think they are artifacts. I have 4 cameras showing the same anomalies. I walked out into the yard numerous times thinking I should be able to...

There is a neighborhood called Peaceful Valley not far from downtown Spokane, Washington.

Foreign Language In The Night by Pelatiah

Have any of you ever dreamed in a foreign language? Or gotten short messages that way?

The Creepy Yellow House On North Main Street by virulentpeach

I have experienced many events I believe to be paranormal throughout my life, and I hesitated to write about this one because my memories of this house are very dark.

A Ghost In A Hurry by Manafon1

I have been meaning to write about the following incidents for several years, but for one reason or another, kept putting it off. This took place in (I believe) 2018.

Stranger In The Campsite by DreamBird

In May of this year I lost my partner to a horrible accident while camping. His gun went off and accidentally shot him while we were sleeping. It was the worst day of my life.
