My Old Appartment Haunting by lazria

Let me start off by stating that I have lived in what could be considered haunted houses on and off my whole life (currently 31), including both of the apartments I moved into upon leaving my parent's home.

Ghost in the Dark by Omniscient

My Weird Story by Wolfman456

You think what you've read is weird? Well, you probably haven't yet. I grew up (and still live) in a house built in the 1870s.

Scary Retirement Homes by Janique

I work at a retirement home and I like it, but there are just so many people talking about how they have had ghostly encounters. I always said, if I don't see it I don't believe it.

People Dressed Like in the Louis XV of France Era by luvparanormal

A Mysterious Stranger by Massive_Lemon

Back when I was younger (I was around 14 years old) I was living in my old house in Shafter, CA. It's a small town, with some haunted places (the Green Hotel, for one).

A Visit to Grandpa by FRAWIN

This happened a long time ago in Prudential Hollow, I was about four years old.

Rather than walk the mile or so home in the dark, it was decided that we spend the night and...

Ghost Attack by knucklesfan

First I'll start out by telling what I believe ghosts are. I believe that they aren't spirits who are trapped between dimensions, or have some unfinished business. I think that once a person dies, they either go to Heaven, or to Hell. And when they're in Hell, I think it's possible Satan sends spiri...

My Father-in-Law by whitebuffalo

I would like to start out by saying that I do not know if this is a ghost story, angel account or a hallucination brought on by the grips of the late stages of lung cancer. To me it has been a comfort as well as a confusing instance. To make it even more interesting, this happened on the very first ...

Things that Go Bump in the Middle of the Afternoon by AllieRN

I was at home alone one afternoon with my infant son. My son was about 10 months old at the time. He had fallen asleep in his bouncer downstairs in the living room as he often does.

A Bad Dream or Possessed? by safekid

I think I was possessed in a dream... if that's even possible? I was probably around eight or nine years old when this happened and I remember nothing but having a headache and these annoying spinning red and blue blocks in my head that would not go away. My mom told me the next day that I had been ...

Warnings from Spirits by thelmafountain

First of all I would like to explain my Uncle. He drank a lot and could get a little overbearing at times. But as I remember him, he was an outrageously funny person, he was kindhearted and he treated me and my siblings very well. He was only welcomed at my mother's home. His other siblings would no...

That Day I Started to Believe in Ghosts by Dragonmom

Something Agitates the Dog by CottonLily

My husband and I used to live in a small two bedroom house in the country. We preferred sleeping in the back, slightly smaller bedroom due to the reduction in road noise and morning sun.

Strange Conversation in Jennisons Cemetary by whitebuffalo

When I was about eight years old, my family went in search of the "lost graves" of our ancestors. We all have lost graves.

Finally at Peace After a Long Haunted Ordeal by cleavis20

Typically when I tell people that I grew up in a haunted house, I get a grab bag of mixed results. Some ask questions and others suddenly seem very uncomfortable, but I have come to accept all of it as a side effect of how I was raised. Maybe I should start with a brief background of the area, prope...

She Likes to Invade Your Dreams by killingkilgore

This happened probably about 2 1/2 or 3 years ago, but still scares me stupid every time I think about it.

What is Following Us? by whitebuffalo

I actually started to "feel" things in my preteens. I became the "Ghost Hunter" of the family and the butt of many a joke, so to be utterly honest, I smothered this "talent" so that at every family gathering, there were no new stories for the family to harass me about. Most of my young experiences I...

Lizzy's Friend by ozone_baby
