Two Bright Motionless Lights Scared Little Me At Night by Metzalnawa

I notice that some people are able to find others with experiences similar to their own. I am hoping I can have the same fortune. I was around five years old when I my experience happened.

Foot Steps In The Icu by Aella9114

My story happened way back when I was still working as a nurse in a University hospital here in Cebu.

My Unnatural Experience by Pandreas

When we moved our family to a rural mountain community in Colorado back in 2000, it wasn't long until I was able to return to my former hobby, hunting. We needed our children to be old enough to either partake in hunting or be able to be at home alone until we got off the mountain. In 2016 I drew an...

Something Mimics Voices Of Loved Ones by lilpeachyghost

This has happened to me multiple times, more so when I was younger but every now and again it will happen again. It used to be my mothers voice, and then it switched to my fiancé's voice. I remember one instance when I was younger of hearing my mother scream my name, as if she was hurt and need...

Paranormal Entity In Upstate Ny by JohnBurve45

It was a normal Monday evening and I met up with my friend how I usually do.

Grandpa Didn't Want To Go To Church by lady-glow

Unexplained Message Via Facebook by MrsRamsay

I hadn't planned to share this one, but Silverthane's great story about the candle blowing out at the church (Spirit Wind) motivated me. Of all of my "experiences" this one is the most weird and far out, I think, so I'll just give it my best shot. I lost a lot of people during the 2012-2013 "scho...

The Trail Runner by omerta

Who of you here enjoys a good ride on their bike? I'm one of those individuals. I usually hop on my bike during dawn or dusk (the air feels cool during those times) and pedal my way to my favorite loop. You will pass through a dam when you ride this loop. The loop is around 3-4km and it consists ...

Family Guest 2 by tellanizer2

I wish to start off this story by saying that this is a follow up on a previous story I had published on this website in 2011-11-01.

Someone Is Having Fun by Rex-T

Jubeele and I have had many instances of items going missing, only to reappear in places that totally defy our collective logic. What makes an impact, is those occurrences where you look several times in the place where the item should be, for no result, yet it appears in that spot, usually after Ju...

Dead Or A (stra) Live! by KenshiAdams

"Am I dead?" I wondered as I lay silently on my bed. This story is from 2011. I had moved to Delhi to join my new job, and had taken up accommodation in a part known as Mayur Vihar. I was living in with my then girlfriend, and the house was a two room apartment on the ground floor. The layout wa...

The Chocolate Man by bigkris

This never directly happened to me. However, last night I was at my neighbours' and a lot of abnormal things kept happening. Our phones kept turning off at 90% (that never happens to me), we kept hearing thuds and the front door opening, we heard talking, and the internet was turned off by the switc...

The Missing Earring by KT432177

I'm not very good at intros so I'll just cut to the chase. I own a pair of silver stud earrings, in the shape of jigsaw puzzle pieces. They are especially important to me because I have Autism, and a puzzle piece is often the image that is associated with and represents Autism. I love wearing them a...

Rattles & Drums by LottiTheSeer

At the end of October 2018 I began having some bizarre experiences at night. As I lay in bed my feet would get grabbed, shaken or slapped. I would also be touched on other areas of my body including being shaken by the shoulder and groped sexually. This activity occurred for about two weeks and then...

The Mountain by Lealeigh

This story might not be very frightening but it made a great impression upon me. I have lived most of my life in the State of Georgia but from 1993 to 1996 I lived with my father and my stepmother in Litchfield Park, Arizona. It may be worth noting that the reason for this was that there was...

Marble From The Dark by jabond99

This instance is my third (and last) experience of things that I have come to believe were a ghost or spirit. This one, however, was considerably simpler than my two other experiences, so it will be shorter. However, it was definitely more personal as it happened in my home. I will first describe...

The Lady In A White Robe by JulietteM731

Look, to be entirely honest I still have no idea why or what it was so let's start. This is also relatively short. I have a bad past. My old stepfather was an alcoholic and mental abuser. Please don't pity me, but it relates a bit to the story. When I was five or six we lived with my scary s...

Unwelcome At The Cottage by Jubeele

During the last week of October 2019, my husband Rex and I decided to go on a road trip down the south coast of New South Wales for nine days.

Merry Christmas From The Other Side by Cherubim

Years ago at Christmas time I got a big tin full of popcorn from my mom, the last Christmas we had together. The metal tin is almost a foot tall with an angel on it. After eating all the popcorn, I filled it up with old pictures I had laying around. There were all kinds of photos of cousins, camping...

I Thought It Was My Dogs! by ax10s

Most of the time, our senses play tricks on us. Most often than not, we are compelled to believe what we saw, what we hear and what we feel, because why not believe on something you've experienced yourself? We tend to bend the rules of nature just to fit in our own beliefs and principles. We have di...

Too Late For Recess by ax10s

I have been sharing my few experiences here in YGS and some of it is poorly written and vague. I do apologize for any misleading stories, but I am sincere and honest in sharing them with you. This one experience happened/occurred/transpired to one of my colleagues during my college days. I'm a E...

The 10th Floor Tenant by ax10s

I don't know if it's paranoia or just my wild imagination turning against me but I sometimes feel other-worldly presence among us. It's a feeling of uneasiness that sometimes turns into a hunch and then a conclusion. I have this quirk that if I close my eyes, I can easily visualize and feel the envi...

Shadowy Greetings From My Haunted Childhood by Veylre

When I was very young, around 5 years of age, my parents moved out to the rural town of Wimauma, Florida. I had numerous encounters there of a seemingly paranormal nature. We moved into a 2 bedroom single wide trailer with no air conditioning so leaving the windows and bedroom doors open for sim...
