My Friend's Mother's Bedroom by 21loccandkey12

Ian and I have been friends for quite a while, and we're always honest towards each other. He's always told that he is able to see and feel spirits, and some of his family experiences stuff too. At first, I was very skeptical about his experiences, and I still am a bit skeptical. He's shown me stuff...

Real Paranormal Experiences by JonRohrbaugh

These are a couple different experiences of the paranormal that I have had in my life and I have searched high and low to find answers or other people who have had the same experiences but found none so I'm publishing this story to see if anyone can relate. A couple years ago I lived in this hou...

The Curious Incident Of The Cat In The Night-time by IzzyC

I believe I recently had a paranormal experience, though I honestly can't be 100% positive. You'll have to tell me what you think. I live about two blocks away from a 24-hour CVS pharmacy in West Philadelphia and it's not too much hassle to run over there for random snacks or articles at all hour...

I Could Feel Him by Ahriannah

I would love to tell you that my experiences in life have been extremely out of the ordinary, or even that they could scare you witless. However, I have never been completely normal so my stories tend to follow, and maybe that is why I venture out and find other people with experiences, or read/writ...

Cat's Meow by thatonekid

I had never had anything paranormal happen to me before but I've always held an interest in things like ghosts. I never would have guessed my cat would be the first paranormal experience in a long line of strange and odd things that would happen over the course of three years. It was June and I just...

New House Terrors by ItalianBrunette21

I had recently moved into my new house back in PA about 5 almost 6 years ago. Since moving in there had been many unexplained things happening.

My Suburban Pittsburgh, Pa Haunted House by TheCrone

My house was built in 1905 as a combo general store/home. As was common in those days, the main floor was the store and the upstairs was housing for the store owner.

Weird Experiences In Old Home Built In 1898 by Hei

My house is in Monroe County, PA, USA. That's all I'm going to say. Growing up, I've had some weird experiences. The ones that are most prevalent were a few years ago. I still have some weird things happening. I never try to contact the spirits because I'd rather not stir up some stuff like I di...

Two Experiences On The Same Day by NorthCoastie

The Arm That Saved Our Lives by ancij9838

Im So Worried, What Do I Do? by ashxoxo20

From the time I was little growing up in an old house my mother and father bought, my bed would just shake at random.

Strange Scene At An Abandoned Schoolhouse by NorthCoastie

I like to consider myself a skeptical believer when it comes to ghosts. I have always had an interest in the paranormal, and have had a few experiences that I have an open mind on. I am always looking for a scientific, rational, or even common sense explanation. Through the careers I have had, and t...

Tulpa Created? by Pjod

Something happened to me quite recently that has put a bit of a scare in me. We have lived in our home for several years now without anything "unusual" to report, just how I like it. Raising two young boys is difficult enough without having to deal with any "strange activity." My wife is a ficti...

Not Scary, Just Unexplainable by mad_minute

Recently I visited my grandmother with a few family members. We stayed at her house for about a week. While we were staying with her there were a few strange occurrences.

The Thing Across The Road? by Icy82

The Farnsworth In Gettysburg by polarage

I have plenty of ghostly encounters stories that I could tell, but this one is by far my favorite, since I also caught this spirit on camera without realizing it.

My Ghost Family 3 by Haunted_cleaner

For almost 2 years Johnny lived with us. I am not saying that his presence was constant. Sometimes we would wonder where he went to as we wouldn't hear a peep. I would ask Stewie, "Where's Johnny?" Time after time he would run around the house searching and every time he would end up pawing at the d...

Giggling Little Girl, Not So Giggly Anymore by Marypatricia

I wrote in my first story about a little girl ghost that I have come to believe is here with us. I think that after I wrote this things have started to become scary and not just playful with her. I feel like she is taking over the dogs that we have. I have been here for 2 years and these dogs have n...

Black Shadow Wolf With Yellow Eyes by MidnightDarkstar

First I would like to say about my encounters, I only remember somethings and sometimes things come back to me the more I write it down. This first story is of my childhood "imaginary friend".

This is a short but true story. Last year when I had just gotten home from school, I went up to my room and threw my bag on the bed.

A Reasonable Explanation by BlueTurtle

Just to start with, I'm fully aware of the things our minds make us think we're seeing or hearing or feeling which is why I'm cautiously skeptical in most things revolving around the paranormal; I'm more inclined to seek the most obvious explanation first. Still, it doesn't make the experience any l...

I am 18 now, but last year I had a best friend and I'd be up at her house all the time.
