My Amazing Mother-in-law by Linjahaha

Not too many people have good things to say about their mother-in-laws, but mine was wonderful. Actually, Mary was like another Mother to me in many respects.

The Hangry Ghost, Strange Sounds And The Shadow Hand by 8-bitDemigod

These first couple of events happened a few years ago at work.

Thinning The Veil by Kksharp71

My Dad was an independent owner operator for 41 years. He, I and his Mom, my Grandma Vada were very close. So close, in fact, we knew what the other was thinking without even asking.

A Traffic Controller's Ghost Story Part 2 by AussieRedDog

It's been a while I had anything supernatural happened... Or should that be 'supernatural'? Anyway, if you haven't read my story, do so.

Playful Resident by nesty_khuletz

I am now an employee of a milling company somewhere in C5, Quezon City near Bagumbayan.

So it's been a while since I submitted a story (10 yrs)! Well since my last story, my fiancée and I moved to a different house. The recurring dreams I had in my previous stories are gone! It's a house from the 50's and it's connected to other houses, so you can hear the neighbours sometimes. ...

Disturbing Audio Evidence by AnonMirrorBoard

I'd like to start off by saying that I am a fan of this website. Seeing there was a recent update in the town I grew up in, I had to dive in.

Supervising Ghost by tigerfeet

I've just realised that, yet again, it is almost two years since my last submission, and I apologise for the length of this post - but the background information is important to the story.

The Old Maternity Hospital by Linjahaha

This particular account took place in the mid to late 1970's. I was still a relatively newlywed to my first husband, Bill. Bill worked on and off, but 'mostly' off. Therefore, I 'had' to work.
