Lost In My Room by Twilight1011

My Friend Came Over To My Haunted House by Cole_Harris

I debated adding this, but I can't seem to stop thinking about it so... Just to catch you guys up real quick. The area I live in is one of the oldest in my country.

Were They Just Dreams Or Something More? by 8-bitDemigod

It's been quite a while since my last post on here. Where have those two years gone? Nothing extra ordinary has happened in those intervening years that I had noticed until 4 months ago. I was put out of work due to injury on the first of May this year. My surgery was two weeks later on the 19...

The Floating Head At The Foot Of My Bed by margiekay

On the evening of August 8th, 2022 around 6pm, my evening turned bad when I started having terrible lower abdominal pain, lower back pain, and pressure out of nowhere.

Graveyard Follower by Skadus

I've never been one to be too afraid to tell people my stories. Seeing paranormal activity runs in my family as much as some of us don't like it.

I Think It Followed Me Home by Aslipablo

A part of my night routine has been to read a book or watch a series/movie before sleeping.

The incident I am narrating is a recurring one; I mentioned in m...

New Store? It's Haunted by Dergato

I worked on the 3700 block 0f Las Vegas Boulevard for about 4 and a half years. I didn't work for the casino itself, but a third party vendor. We faced the fountains.
