The Ghost In The Penthouse by Nikita

I have had my fair share of the 'unseen world' (as I like to call it) and though at times I have been terrified, I think my body is now starting to get use to the things that I experience. The most recent, which I'd like to get off my mind is the spirit in our office. Myself and some team members...

The Man On The Road by Nikita

This happened four years ago, in my hometown Somerset West in South Africa. When I use to visit one of my girl friends, I would leave her house late at night after spending basically the whole day with her. As I could drive, I would always take a relaxed drive home. On going home there is one specif...

The Lady At The House by Shayliha

In Afrikaans we have a saying: "Jy's met die helm gebore." (you were born with the caul) which means you were born with the gift to see ghosts/demons, etc. About 9 years ago my parents decided to move to a bigger house due to my mother falling pregnant at that time and we obviously needed more spac...

I am now 24 and since I can remember I have been having these weird experiences. I am blessed with being able to hear, feel and see spirits.

Luckily we have never had anything bad happen. Only to my g...

Crying Girl, Moving Furniture, Scary Looking Double & Things by Cat

From the time I was young I always noticed weird things. I always passed it off as my over active imagination as I was taught to believe that ghosts don't exist. Nothing strange has happened in a while but I recently (almost a year ago) moved out of a house that I believe was probably the most haunt...

The Old Businessman by Hexotericka

Here I will give you another account of my brush with the supernatural, as it were. The account is rather lengthy, so please bear with me.

The Woman In White by Enchantress

So usually what I see is shifting energy / aura or basically an outline of the entity and my mind tells me the rest, is it a man, a woman, etc however this one night it was very different.
