Ghost stories from South Africa: Page 4

Creepy Passage by Ghosthunter00

Years ago we were asked to look after the house of friends in the same street as us, as they were going away for a week. We had known them for years, and obviously had visited them hundreds of times over that time. Their house felt normal- I am usually very sensitive to "presences." I could not ...

Presence In The Bathroom by SpiderZA

Some of you might have read my previous story where I mentioned I am sensitive to feeling things as opposed to actually seeing anything. Anyway, a month or so ago I started working at a new company and two weeks or so into my new job, one of the ladies from one of the other offices has a heart at...

Suicidal Mother's Ghost Or Not? by socrazy100

This is the only true and real experience that I've ever had. My grandmother was the only one in our family that could see, sense and communicate with ghosts. I always loved listening to her stories and I wondered if I would ever experience it for myself. One night I did. I was in Std 6 and had a...

Are Dream Catchers Portals? by Siskakes

My mother is a very spiritual person and cannot be swayed from her beliefs. She was born with the gift\ curse of being able to sense and see things in the other realms. I have had an experience before (Stifling Experience); however, I don't sense or see anything from the other realms. I'm very ok...

The Ultimate Good Verses Evil by Rozo

My story begins with me and my fiance moving into a garden cottage on someone's property in the more affluent area of our city in South Africa. The deal was good and we were looking to just get out of where we were. So we jumped at the opportunity. Coming from a family where spirits have always s...

Stifling Experience by Siskakes

My mother was born with a gift\ curse of being able to see both spirts and demons. She is able to differentiate between the two. My sister and I are both terrified of potentially seeing or hearing anything like that and have made her swear not to tell us when she does. We can however see it on he...

My Uncle's Visit by SpiderZA

After reading through quite a few stories I have decided to submit mine. My moms side of the family has always had a paranormal vibe to it, like my aunts see family members and feel things etc. I have always believed that I am prone to feeling when something isn't right or when something is around. ...

There Came A Dark Horse by Fergie

This account was told to me many, many years ago by my favourite Uncle (and "partner in crime" Lol!). Way back in the 1940's, before our double highways were built, the way to the Cape lay down narrow, winding roads. Often, the roads were badly sign posted, so it was very easy to get lost. Dur...

Billy, One Of A Kind by Fergie

Billy was one of a kind! He was my husbands' friend, and a constant visitor at our home. My husband met him sometime in the early 70's. He wasn't like anyone we had ever known before! He was a 'showman' and ate razor blades and did fire eating, to entertain people. He was an extrovert, and laughed ...

Shapeshifters And Gold by vidya_amani

I saw a creature that looked like a goblin, looking like some tree spirit, very small but mischievous. I can't say it had pointy ears but rather sticks and branches coming out of it. It had shape-shifted into a tree trunk, looking like it had a belly ready to burst with the wood cracking open. And a...

Family House I Want To Forget by AngelaTurner001

I am sharing our experience of the super natural because it made a believer out of me; Our family house in Simonstown Western-Cape South-Africa is a large old house that we renovated after my Mother passed away in 2001. Since my sister and I were both renting at that stage we decided to share our...

My Doll Dada by anneke8

When I was 12 years old, my aunt visiting from America, gave me a doll. I thought why she'd give me a doll... I am a big girl now and don't play with them anymore... I called her Dada for some or other reason I am not sure of. She was very pretty, unlike any doll I've ever seen. She had a face li...

Don't Pass My Passage by anneke8

There was a woman, who one morning left her house, and never returned. On her way to work, her car collided with a truck. The press stated that it was a 'horrific accident'. She had no family nearby, and soon her house was up for sale. My future brother in law bought this house... They were v...

Past Life Daughter by Johan86

Quite some time ago, a year or two max, my brother and I had an unexplainable encounter. Voices, a conversation from behind a door where an old safe used to be. We recently moved into this old building, it was barren and all but forgotten at the time. I tell this tale where-ever stories of ghosts an...

He Tried To Get My Daughter by Worriedorparanoid

Before I even start my story, I feel there are so many people which leave really sarcastic comments which I feel are very unnecessary as they don't really even know me or what's happening in my home - for each one of us that have a story to share, it is very real to us. Any way back to my story. ...

A Gorilla? by Fergie

The first thing that struck me, that day, as we entered the deserted premises' of Robinson Married Quarters, was the number of newly-dead ducklings. Pathetic little bundles of yellow fluff dotted all over the back yard. I was at once, dismayed to see this dismal sight. My friend from next door was ...

Howling 2 by Alfie

Many years ago when there was only land, this particular site was ridden with practices of dark craft. I then did my research on the crafts at hand, as there were different kinds. But for over the years of research I soon discovered that demonic callings were practiced on this land. A ritual for cal...

Howling by Alfie

In all my years I've always thought that ghost stories and beliefs were all fictional. Until a really peculiar event happened. One of my friends had just bought a new house out in Kibbler Park. He had to go out on business to the coast and asked if I could look after he's place for him until he re...

Looks Like Things Are Starting Again by Worriedorparanoid

It's not surprising to me that once again I have a story to tell. We are currently still staying in our new place and now my husband knows that there is something in our house after my son has showed him where this "thing" is and he has seen it for himself. After the comments that I received ...

My Freaky Life 2 by anneke8

A few years ago, in my last year in high school, I saw this very cute guy standing with his friends. Two days later, he asked me to the matric dance, and I was happy to go! He seemed a little weird, but actually I liked it. After the first date, we began to see each other every day. I was head over ...

My Freaky Life by anneke8

My first encounter with the supernatural was when I was four years old (that I can remember). My grandfather just died. Because me and my cousin were the babies in the family, my grandfather adored us. The night just after he passed away, I was sleeping in my bed. I remember that when I woke, someon...

Family Guest by tellanizer

Since I was 5 years old I've always had weird and unexplained things happen to me. If that was the case before then I will never know, but it was only after I turned 5 that I started to take note that I was seeing and hearing things other people could not. The one experience that I had was one day w...

The House In England by Shlain

This happened when I was at the age of 17/18, while I was living in what I believed to have been a haunted house. The house was situated in a quiet area of Preston, Lancashire. The house looked fairly modern on the outside with new windows, doors, sliding doors etc., but on the inside it wasn't quit...

The Guy Who Visits Me At 3:30 am by Roshay

This is a very interesting and moving story about me. Ever since I found out that my current father was my biological dad, I moved away from him emotionally and decided to not like him for what reason I did that I don't know he hated me then and ever since then he use to curse me. It was Mon...

My Experience With Negative Energy In My House by Trix

I'm not sure on how I'm going to write about my experience or if YGS will even publish it. I'm going to try my best, because the person that helped me through it told me that my experience and actions can help other people without this type of knowledge too. I feel he is right so I'm going to share ...

Cat Spirit In Our Bedroom by Tess

We have a Bengal Cross kitten who is 7 months old and she has always been very happy to sleep with my fiancè and I at night (either on the bed or inside her cathouse), but for the last two weeks she refuses to sleep in our bedroom.

Odd Woman Past Midnight by DianeS

Many years ago, in fact in 1990, the strangest thing happened to me... I was driving my female friend home after we had been watching movies at my house and it was way past midnight.

The house all this activity takes place in is in, South Africa, Parow. This was the house I grew up in and I never grew up alone.

Hooded Lady by Dina

I don't remember when exactly this happened. I must have been about 6 or 7. My older brother and I were home alone and watching TV in the dark.

Ghost In Residence by Dina

My first year of university, in 2002, I was placed in a residence that was built in the early 1900's and was first used as a nunnery before being used to house students.

Deceased Wife Visits by SuperHBK

This story still hurts very much when I think of it but I thought seeing that I had a paranormal experience with this story I might as well share it with all of you.

She is a very dear friend of ours and we ...

Squeaky Clean Ghost by honeysangel

Me again. Recently things have quieted down in the house but this one is really weird.

Nursing Residence Room Nr 2 by Trix

As far back as I can remembered, I have been sensitive to the paranormal. When I was a child, I did hear and feel stuff, but never saw anything. As a child it didn't bothered me, and I was not afraid. The first Ghost or whatever it was I saw when I was still in nursing training. That was when I stay...

When I was about six years old, I had a fear of something in the hallway of our house.

Now I don't know if this ...
