Dark Shadows and Light Shadows by Krysteen

For the past couple of weeks, I've noticed an increase of shadows around me. I've been seeing those fleeting black shadows out of the corner of my eye, and on occasion, the ones that linger to let you get a better grasp on their shape. These have been ranging from tall, human shapes to small cat-siz...

Shadows and TV Changing Channels by bluefox3

Every time I come downstairs to get on the the computer I feel like I am being watched. Sometimes when someone's staring at you, you can feel it, well that's how that felt like. One morning I woke up and I saw a face, I got scared, so I closed my eyes again and I saw nothing. When I was brushing ...

A Large Glowing Orb by atouchofdeath

This is a photo I took, using a disposable camera. I was visiting the "Old Waverly" cemetery, here in Texas; photographing graves for a cemetery photo book, that I was working on. As you can see, where the picture was aimed, it's not really focusing on any particular grave. When I had finished takin...

Old Lady Ghost Hides Stuff from Us by bogienova

When my father and his new wife moved into the house they currently reside in, they knew well that the previous owner's mother had died in the back bedroom.

The Dark Figure at my Window by CursedByDeath

Next to our house was a warehouse. My two older brothers and I shared some bunk beds. One of my older brothers slept on the to...

My Experience with a Three Dimensional Shadow Person by NickTrop

I guess shadow people are real. I never thought about talking about what I saw until I happened to read a story about them. I had always considered our house to be a haunted place, but in a strange way that most houses aren't. Our house is to this day only 14 years old and was built on 'new' ground....

Stalked in the Forests by Tilis

Every fifth grader gets the chance to spend a week in Camp Tyler in the middle of a forest. People say that Camp Tyler is haunted, but I didn't believe them.

My dad was a typical kid of his times and playe...

Grandma Needs Help by sorryismyname

My grandma was very ill as an old lady. She had diabetes and was always in pain. Other than that, she would go to the hospital very often because she needed pills and treatment.

Foul Smelling Demon by rafa19

Shortly after my second divorce, I went through a period of anger and depression. I found myself constantly questioning God, why my life was not going well.

During the summer of 2004, I was spending the night at my friend's house and he was in the shower. So his brother and I were watching t.v. and he turned the volume down and said "Did you hear that?" I started to listen and I hear a slight laugh coming from the wall to our left. Now on the other side...

My Medium Experiences by VV_Minx

My story starts from when I was little. Throughout my life I've been able to see the nonliving. I've never taken this much into consideration because it's always been there. The earliest incident is my older brother's 3rd birthday. One day, my mom was going through some pictures of family members. O...

The Girl in The Blue Dress by Janice

I'm sure we all heard of stories of spirits being spotted on road-sides, and being picked up, and requested to be taken to their homes, only to find out that the person had died a long time ago. That's mostly what this one is about, except that it is different in another way. It happened to a tax...

Red-Handed by Shameless

I Opened the Door to Demonic Spirits by Krysteen

When I was 17, I opened a door that should have remained closed. I was at the public library and checked out a book about demons. I was always an avid reader and to me, it was just another "horror" book, I checked out for 2 weeks. I really had no concept of demons, I believed in God, but just not so...

The Little Boy in the Night by Victoria

My son just turned 4, and we have rented a small duplex since he was a year old. He has always been reluctant to play in his room alone and would never give an answer as to why. Usually he falls asleep on the couch, and we carry him to his bed. We thought this was normal, as he doesn't want to miss ...

Yogurt Trip Gone Bad by bogienova

Our house growing up was not necessarily haunted but my family members were always having strange experiences from time to time that lead us to wonder if we were a little more perceptive than the average joe as far as the supernatural. We were the only family who lived in the house we grew up in so ...

It Wasn't the Dog by bogienova

When I was about twelve maybe thirteen years old, I was sitting in my mother's room watching her television lounging. My mother's room has a bathroom adjacent and the door was closed tightly.

Seeing Dad... Again by Krysteen

Many incidents have happened in my life, benevolent AND malevolent views of the other side(s) ;) This is by far the more impressive and comforting incident of my life. My father died in January 2001 from pancreatic cancer. He was luckier than most that the excruciating pain that accompanies such a c...

I was three or four years old, and very much scared of the dark (what child who is young, isn't?). My grandma's house wasn't how usual grandma's houses are. She had the most haunted house in Arizona!

Spirit of the Little Boy by HERNANDEZ512

I have always had a interest in the supernatural but was a skeptic. My story might not be as scary or even scary at all but to me it was something I would never like to experience.

A few nights ago I was chatting away with my friends on myspace. I was the only one awake, and was already a little shaken up by the creaks that the house made.

Hands on my Shoulder by Carl Mangum

It started when I woke up thirsty and needed something to drink so I could go back to sleep.

Along time ago, when I was about 5, my mom was walking out of the kitchen to come get me. I was waiting for her because, to me, she was taking forever. I saw her freeze right in our hallway.

The Mysterious Shadows by night

It was a hot June at my grandparents house and very boring. I desperately needed something to do. It is such a joy staying with old people. The town she lives in isn't that big. It is called Kermit.
