Sinister Smile Of A Black Ghost by Henry

This happened about 40 years ago, I'm 43 now and since I was so young, I don't remember everything that happened, so the first part I will tell you is what I do remember, the rest is what I was told by my parents. My dad had just been stationed at Fort Huachuca, AZ, and while we were waiting for ...

A Premonition And His Voice by DreamBird

Almost a year ago I woke from a strange dream. I dreamt that my partner's dresser was missing from our bedroom and I was staring at an empty space. I awoke with a very uncomfortable feeling and tried my best to rationalize the dream as being more related to the fact we had new bedroom furniture on l...

An Unexpected Tug In The Night by DreamBird

In 2014 I had been dating a guy who was a widower. While I didn't know the details of his wife's death, I did know it was a suicide.

Animal Guardians by Templar1179

Shorty I was on duty as a security officer for a financial call center when I noticed a cat that was killed and was laying in the front yard of the property. He appeared to have been hit by a car. After laying him to rest (and a good half hour of bawling my eyes out), I was inside a vacant off...

I Think My House Is Haunted, I Don't Know What To Do Anymore Update by KatieOuO

So to start off, thank you so much for everyone who replied to my last post. It honestly was extremely helpful. After I read all the comments I went to my father and asked him about everything you guys said. He helped me pray over my room -etc- For a while things started to calm down, I wasn't...

The Irish Brigade by AugustaM

I was put in mind of this experience and provoked to write it down to share by Spockie's experience "Band of Runners". I was 8 or 9 years old at the time and was visiting the Grand Canyon area with my father and brother. We were staying in an old 3 story walk-up motel (the kind that is only one ...

Daughter's Night Terror by Desertmoon

I haven't written in some time, I don't have a lot of experiences to write about, but when my eldest daughter was about 6 years old she woke up one night to something that really terrified her.

A Lifetime Entity by CrystalAwakening

I am 16 will be 17 soon. For my whole life I have been out of the ordinary. Some of my family were surprised at the strange happenings that followed me. A time that stands out is when my grandmother told me that when I was a baby I kept throwing my bottle out of the crib and she would give it b...

I lived in California growing up but moved to Texas in my 30's and woun...

Spirits And An Unknown Entity by thatqueenb

I'm going to start off by stating that I'm a little bit of a skeptic when it comes to the paranormal. With that said, I still try to keep an open mind. This is something that mostly happened to my younger sister and my father, and I'm not sure what to make of it. I'll let you draw your own conclusio...

3 Visits To Canyon De Chelley by naturestacey

The first time I went to Canyon de Chelley, I went to 3 or 4 overlooks on the north rim. Each and every time I stepped out of my vehicle, I had overwhelming feelings of despair... And death. It made me feel horrible and didn't know why I was feeling that way. I drove over to the south rim and I had ...

Weird Hospital Experience by Desertmoon

I was working a few years ago in a very small hospital located on the Navajo Reservation. It was pretty old and very outdated, with only about 15 patient rooms arranged down two hallways in an "L" shaped fashion, and the nurse station was located the corner of where the lines of the 'L' met. At the ...

Creepy Shadow Figure by Desertmoon

As a kid I had often been afraid of things that go bump in the night. I remember this happening ever since my parents had divorced back in 1965 when I was 4 or 5 years old, and my mom was raising my younger brother and I as a single mom. Maybe the divorce made me insecure and frightened of things in...

New Vistors? by Mannerizms

Merry Meet all, I apologize again, for being so long since my last encounter shared. I am currently trying to figure out what is going on in my new home. For those of you whom are new, every single home I ever lived in growing up was haunted; that was until I moved to Arizona. Only then did I really...

Parnormally Inclined I Suppose by Mda61

I grew up in a house with my parents and six siblings in a house that I believe had more than one ghost. One was a small boy and we just referred to him as the boy in the blue and white striped shirt, the other other one was a tall man who we never really seen but felt. My first memory is sharing...

New Home, New Encounters by Unorthodox

When I was 8 years old my mom and dad decided to move to a new neighborhood. Growing up in a strict Christian family meant I had many restrictions.

Updates On Life by Mannerizms

Mom and I went down to Phoenix from Flagstaff to the Parade of Homes with her friend and her friend's two daughters one year in the 90's.

Grandpa's Cloud Communication by Wardo

I was recently visiting my grandma with my wife and daughter and just having a great time chatting and playing with our daughter when I recalled an incident that took place years back now. I think I mentioned something about it in a comment long back, but I can't quite remember now and haven't searc...

Haunted School And House by spineroonie

Hmmmm where to begin. I am a Native American from Arizona and I am 20 years old. First, let me start with a little history. In the late 1800s there were boarding schools/missions that were built for Native American children. Children were forced into these places where the government hoped to "K...

Ezekiel by Hecate0

Here is one of my most powerful ghost/spirit stories to date. I found I could move energy through my hands over 20 years ago. I meditated and asked what it was for but it took me several years to calm and balance myself to find that this could be directed and controlled for healing. I have studied s...

I am an Arizona Native. My parents moved here in the early 70's. They bought an acre of land in the west valley and my dad built the house with some help of family and friends.

Spirit Portal House by allisonbeckert23

This year I had the opportunity to go with a good friend of mine on a tour of historic homes and landmarks in my hometown. I'd been hoping to go for years, though this tour was second to the haunted homes tour done in October. Still, this was quite a treat as many people were willing to open their h...

Sirrine House by allisonbeckert23

I'm hoping these are still holding peoples' interest here. I try to space out the experiences I have, just so each gets its own recognition. And let me know if these are a good fit anyway, since I have a great respect for the help people receive from this community when they need it. This year I...

He Still Helps Me by Hecate0

It's time I share my favorite ghost story. My father was diagnosed with lung disease when I was a freshman in college. It was horrible news. He was one of those rare people. I never heard him yell, ever, other than when having fun. There are four of us kids in my family. I am third. He and I were al...

Cold Wet Touch by allisonbeckert23

Paranormal experiences that are based in physical senses are difficult to pin down. I personally believe that sensitive people often don't know they're sensitive because they experience a lot of these small and simple touches from beyond, but the sensations are lost in the flood of everyday sensatio...

Gym Shop Noises by Gravy_o7

My name is Gavin, and I workout in my grandpas shop every night to stay fit. I play music when I go there to get my mind of the noises and to keep me going.

Old House On Campus by allisonbeckert23

Demon In The Dark by Jazolinlea

My Mother's Father by Bunny12213

My mother's father died when she was a little girl. He was found lying dead in snow & they said it was because he jumped or was pushed off the building he was at.

In The Corner Of My Eye, And Misbehaving Doors by Piedpiper

I am still confused, and unsure of whether or not to believe in the existence of ghosts. My religion teaches that once you are out of your body, you are either in Heaven or Hell; there is no in between limbo state. Perhaps all that people are seeing are angels and demons messing around with their mi...

I Can Feel Ghosts by Piedpiper

I never really believed in ghosts. But I am starting to change my mind. About a year ago, when I lived in my family's old house, I was laying in bed. The lights were odd and I was just dozing off. That was when I felt it; a cat, jumping onto my bed and curling up beside me on my blanket. I don...

The Lady That Faded Into The Darkness by jennyjenn7932

I have had a few experiences that I would like to share. The first experience I had with a spirit, or ghost, I was about 11 years old.

Paranormal Experiences As A Child by KatieBear

I have a few stories of small encounters that I thought I would share. All of these happened when I was a child, and some I remember as young as 4 or 5.
