Red Eyes And Demonic Laughter by Am_a_am

I never really was religious, so I didn't know what I was seeing, or why. The truth is I've been seeing the Shadows ever since I could remember. They always looked human, taller than I was, but they were on the wall, like a shadow that doesn't care which direction the sun is shining. No one ever rea...

Roses For The Dead 2 by R_Bellegrave

So we pulled up and parked in the parking lot of the Oceanside Carl's J and ordered some food. After eating, we went out to my car and began reviewing my cell phone recording. For some reason beyond my comprehension, EVPs work more often on my phone. It's interesting... Anyhow, we start with the mos...

A Kind Spirit by witchgirl2010

For the record I am 27 years old and a practicing Wiccan since age 13. I have a strong belief in the spirit realm and have had both scary and pleasant experiences with them. I am not judgmental of others beliefs and believe that everyone has a right to follow their own religious path. Back in De...

My Door Is Making Me Mad by MyDoorIsIrritatingMe

My older sister's door has been shaking for the past couple nights. And now I find that it shakes even during the day! I was home with my mother in the other room, sick, and the door suddenly starts shaking violently. I cannot see it, but I hear it and a mixture of fear and irritation courses throug...

Strange Things And Man With Wings by moniquevas

I have been experiencing strange things since I was about 8. I am now 31 and every now and then things happen. I have seen doors open and no one there, knocking on walls, things moving and floating in the air, curtains move when the windows are closed and no wind outside. I have seen bluish figures ...

Strange Experiences At Uncles by jbrown

I was visiting my uncle in Sacramento with my brother and dad. My uncle lives in my (deceased) grandparent's house. Upon entering the house, I didn't feel heaviness or anything strange in particular, it's a nice house with a 50's kind of flair, except for the more modern renovations he has made. ...

I Feel A Presence In My House by JMKDS

About 5 years ago my family and I moved into this house. The house is 40+ years old and when we first moved in weird things started happening. Things would disappear and we would not find them for months and then they would show up in that same spot where we last left it. In the hall way I started s...

Why Me by ChuJully

As a child, I had always seen "things". I'm not so certain, but I always felt things around me. I'm Hmong, 18 years of age and my grandfather is a shaman. I'm not really sure how to explain some of my experience, but what I can say is that sometimes the thing comes and goes. I'm not afraid of it, ju...

Who Is Following Me? by Akemi

For a while now, I have been seeing things. I usually see a blur of black in the corner, always in my house. It started happening about 2 years ago I think, and it has only happened in the house I'm living in right now, but this house was just built when we moved in, so I think it just has something...

The Attached Spirit by iheartnewyork

I have been dealing with this spirit or something for around 8 years now. My parents never seem to notice but I do. When I was ten I started hearing pots and pans in the kitchen banging around midnight every night. My parents even heard these sounds but put it off as a mouse. Then the noises stop...

Shadow Man Finally Showed Himself by LW

It started with the hallway. The hallway in my 1920's apartment in Los Angeles was more than just a little unsettling. I would always find myself looking over at it while watching TV in the living room, expecting something to be there. I and everyone else would pass through this long hallway as ...

Incubus Story by CutescryDoll

This is very uncomfortable, but I want some answers. It all started about Thanksgiving break 2009. I already knew there was something in the house and when I tried to tell my mother she just said it was my imagination. I would feel it around me watching me and sometimes hear it at night when alo...

Joey And Jake by xxSoniaxx

I want to start off by saying that although there are other stories on this site like this one, I don't want you to think I am copying because this is a true story. I haven't been much of a spiritual person in my life and I've had only one experience before this one. My mother, however, is very s...

Footsteps All The Time by kevinsolis777

When I was little (like 12) I used to hear footsteps on the ceiling above me at night. It only happened in my room. Some nights I would wake up to this very heavy pressure on top of me and I couldn't move. One night I woke up to see what looked like a white face staring at me from the side of my bed...

When Family And Friends Stop For A Visit by 2112lady

I just wanted to share a few personal and non-personal experiences. A lot of people in my mother's family have some sort of "gift". My aunt used to see spirits around her all the time and my mother and other aunts have frequent prophetic dreams that eventually come true. Not me. I've always been ...

The Creature by gvf7225

I had a different experience from what I usually have. I stayed up late this weekend watching a movie. The movie was almost over when I heard someone in the hallway. My hallway is "L" shaped. From my couch you can look down the long part of the hallway that leads to my room. The smaller part of my h...

Shadow People: Night Terror Or Is It Real? by Shannanigans707

I have always experienced weird things when I sleep but there is one thing that happens to me that I can't help but wonder if it's just a night terror (which is what I have always called them) or if it's real. It basically started about 5 years ago (I'm 26 now) maybe longer where I wake up and ...

The Ghost That Saved My Life by PrincessLeah

Back in 2007 when I was 23 I moved in with this man that that I had known since I was a teenager. He had a sister that had recently died under some pretty tragic circumstances. He was very close to her and had a shrine of sorts dedicated to her. It was a large book case with lit candles, pictures of...

My 1920's Home 3 by kymba

I have been seeing shadow figures in my hallway, and bedroom at night. I have the bed in my room positioned so the foot is facing the door to the hall. As I lay in bed watching the TV next to the bed or just lying in bed I get a glimpse of a dark black shadow sometimes big as a man but not fully in ...

My Lucy Things by kymba

I have mentioned in my first post I would tell you about this unexplainable incident that occurred in my 1920's home and my son saw it happen as well. I have this cute little wire coat/hat rack that hangs from my wall in the entryway. I have a wall that my big china hutch is against and a small ...

My First Scary Experience by shweetgal

I've often felt crazy for such things that I have experienced through out my life. Some things are hard for me to grasp on whether or not my experiences are real or if I am just crazy. Which I guess I am if what I've had happen to me is not valid for I have no proof, but, only a story, my story. As ...

The Haunting Of Hayward by iscute11

When I was a young boy, we used to live in this old house that was at least 60 years old (maybe 70 now...) When we moved there, it was a big place with a big backyard. I thought it would be the coolest house ever, but it turned out not to be. The first year, everything was fine, nothing really h...

Succubus Like Experience It Seems by Tgunn

Very interesting stories I've read here, and I've oddly had a few strange things happen that I've always attributed to dreaming but makes me wonder now how can so many people share so similar experiences and there not be some sort of truth to it? I tend to be a skeptic by nature, and generally think...

Really Bad Luck by MadameMunster

As a child I did find myself very alone, a lot of bad things happened to me, and I was prone to seeing ghosts where ever we lived. We have lived in a few different places, and the one I remember more clearly was in an apartment in San Jose, California. I must have been around 8 years old. At the t...

Little Girl Ghost Or Something Else? by dalva8087

When I was 16, I thought I had seen a ghost in my house. At first I thought it was just my imagination so I never really paid any attention to it, until I recently found out that I'm not the only one that has seen it. I've always been fascinated with stories about ghosts, demons, haunted dolls, etc ...

The Bang On The Door by Lavenders

I haven't written a story in a while but one that came to my mind while I was looking at the site again was the time when I was living in the guest house at my ex-husband's aunt's house. Spooky things always seem to happen to me while I am in a very depressed state. During this time, I was sever...

Spirits In The House by the_wizard

From 1998-2005 my parents and little brother lived in this house. I wouldn't call it haunted, but I do remember some weird things happening there. My mom said she had seen this man a few times just standing in our living room. And once she saw him standing by her bedroom door when she was in bed. Th...

The 1st Encounter With The Follower by gvf7225

I don't know if you all read my 1st story The Follower. Here is the beginning of when I first encountered it. It was back in January of 1980. I was 7 years old. That Sunday my mother had taken me to church for the first time in my life. I didn't know much about God or the Devil at that time. We...

My Old Haunted House by Meowmix_Symphony

Ever since I was young, I always could feel if something was there. So I was easily scared back then especially at my old house. I lived with a married couple (house was split in two parts by a kitchen). I was probably 10 or 11 and the first day I moved in, nothing much happened. But until we covere...

The Follower by gvf7225

My story begins, one night sometime in the 1980's I wasn't home my uncle was home alone and the phone rang, He heard someone run out of my room and pick up the phone. Moments later I came home to see all the closets, cabinets and doors were all open and my uncle's face covered in fear. He told me wh...

The Experience I Never Had Before by MarkakaJin

This happened around the month of August, I believe. I just started living at my friend's place after moving in around July 22nd. He helped me a get a job at his work place and everything was going well until the month of August. I started to feel kind of stressful about the whole situation that I w...

The Black Watcher by morambo85

One night as I was sleeping I suddenly awoke and looked toward the end of my bed. I was surprised to see a pitch blacker than black almost human shaped figure hovering at the end of my bed facing outwards like it was looking watch for the night. As soon as I saw it it bolted in my direction and wrap...

The Man In The Road by CA_NJGirl

My siblings and I have always had the ability to hear and see spirits. Normally, I have seen fleeting images or more often, heard voices and noises about places. While I worked in an office where strange things happened due to a mischievous spirit, and experienced her turning on and off lights and s...

Knocking At My Apartment Front Door by photoguyp

I hope I'm not jumping the gun here and posting this story when I haven't done enough investigating first. But still, here it goes... I just moved into a new apartment with my girlfriend. So far, it's been great. A couple nights ago though, while my girlfriend and I were horsing around on the sof...

Vision Of Unknown Dead by Kirsten_pax09

On Christmas Eve morning of 2008, I had slept in until about 11:00am but I remained in bed because it was rather cold this one morning and I lay in bed unable to fall back asleep. I was laying on my back and staring up at the ceiling fan when I decided to turn over onto my left side and I had only b...

Do Incubus Really Suck Your Energy? by StarlaDee

I've experienced all types of ghost/demons encounters my whole life. It used to terrify me. I would cry, scream, and yell whenever I would encounter a ghost or a demon. Eventually, as I got older I've convinced myself that it was just Sleep Paralysis after doing a research paper on it for a class at...

The Little Indian Boy And His Dad by xAdiiBabyDoll16x

I never really believed in ghosts. I always claimed they were fake even though I never experienced one. I started believing right away in the year of 2007, fall, and of course it was around my birthday in October when I was a preteen. We had just moved into our dream house; it was in the perfect nei...

Possible Succubus And Other Stuff by 8auxilia8

This is all just speculation, I'm not sure if these are ghosts or what. I'm not a religious guy (used to be into Christianity, but religion is no way for me to live my life at the moment) and I'm a lusty 22 year old Black American male (I guess a part of me follows the stereotype). Anyway, I've alwa...

My Other Family by vquinones5

When I was about 5 years old, my parents purchased there first home. After we had settled in I began to see a tall dark figure, which looked to be a man standing in the doorway of whatever room I was in. This only happened in the night, all he would do was just stand in the doorway and stair at me, ...

My Grandparent's House by shellybelly

It's been four years since I've had any supernatural experiences that have scared me; I guess it's just part of getting used to the fact you're not always truly alone. However, growing up in my grandparent's house I had plenty I'm sure to never forget! I lived there with my mom and younger bother, a...

First And Perhaps Only Seance by Jester3609

My name is Shaun Logue and I am nineteen years old. At the time of the following event, I was eighteen. The house of the event is in West Hills, CA. The date is early 2009 at 3:00am. I have always felt that there was more to the world than we saw. For many years, my mother's house has had spirits...

An Angry Girl And A Little Boy. What Do They Want? by eveelinaa

Sometimes I feel like it's all in my head when I feel a presence in my room or see something that I think is paranormal. I'm sixteen years old and I know that I've always been sensitive to these kinds of things. Last night I had trouble sleeping. I usually fall asleep after 2 hours being in bed,...

Haunted All My Life by xtina_gax

We'll where do I start off? We'll everything pretty much started when I was about 6 years old. I have always seen and experienced ghosts or demons, I really don't know why things just happen to me without me really doing anything. I remember this one time I was at my house and after my aunt had pass...

California CEO Has Visit by Cali_Guy

So, a little context. I am a CEO of a California corporation; I deal with deadlines and tons of stress. Not complaining just telling it how it is. Further, my best friend is a reporter for the San Francisco Examiner, it's not relevant to my story but I just want to establish that I am legit. So I w...

My Scratching Door by lexz

One night when I was 10 years of age I was sleeping in my own room. Now this house was huge, but only one story even in certain spots it would echo. It is located in Medesto, California I can't remember exactly were. Even after living there for a couple months it never felt like I was completely alo...

My Sister's Ghost by Marirosa

I had recently moved into an apartment with my sister and her best friend. The first couple of weeks seemed normal, however I did sense that something was here. Doors would open and close by themselves, my sister would blame it on the wind. I told her that I thought the apartment had a ghost but she...

Figures In The Night by normal1

When I was around the age of seven and eight I started feeling things behind me but I didn't pay much attention to it. I lived with both my parents and my siblings in a pink house on Gaviota Street. I thought that I had everything and never really cared for believing in ghosts or whatever until I wa...

Ominous Dark Hooded Figure by kumquatweesh

My family and I were all on vacation and my grandma had invited some friends of hers to stay at tour vacation house, so I had to share a room with my Mother and her 5-year boyfriend. I can't recall my dream very well, but I remember waking from it, and looking to the right of my bed and seeing a hoo...

The Ghostly O.R. Floor by jackeline

When I lived in Los Angeles I got a housekeeping job at a hospital. The hospital was home to many spirits or as we call them ghosts. As luck would have it I ended up getting the graveyard shift. That first night at the job my supervisor Maria took me on rounds to get familiar with the hospital a...
