Recent Paranormal Experiences

Angel Lady In White Light by Chaningham91

Following on from my first story about my son being in hospital with leukemia, I would like to share the paranormal experience I had once we were discharged and allowed home. Obviously, I was going through a really tough time. I felt alone, depressed, and terrified for my son's health. One week a...

Ears Ringing And Seatbelt Malfunction? by MrsRamsay

I admit the two things in the title don't really go together, though they happened within a day of each other. This morning I left early to go to the doctor. Traffic was good at just before 7am, and as I passed the commercial node in my neighborhood, driving my five year old Toyota Mom van with ...

A Dark Entity by ScareTale

The story is purely a second hand account. It happened to my older sister in 2011 while she was home alone. I know it being the events as she tells them and not my own personal experience, one can question it's validity even more so. But my sister isn't the type to tell ghost stories and the way ...

Witch's Cackle? by ScareTale

As I stated in my first story "Voice On Tape", I was going to ask my mom if I could share some of her stories. I asked and she agreed. This happened to my mom and half sister before I was born. First off, in order to understand just how horrifying this was, I'll have to give a little detail of th...

The Radio by ScareTale

I was 17 and sitting alone in the living room watching Tv. It was about 11:30 at night. Everyone else had already gone to bed. I've always been a night owl, so it wasn't uncommon for me. I had a habit of sitting in the living room with the Tv on while I played my PlayStation Portable. Nothing out of...

Alone With A Poltergeist by ScareTale

This experience[s] happened to me when I was at home by myself. My parents and siblings had gone out of town for the day to visit family and to check on our second property that's about 2 hours away from our home. They wouldn't be back until about 11:00 that night. I was 16, home alone on a Friday n...

Voice On Tape by ScareTale

When I was about 8 years old, my mother had bought one of those tape voice recorders, (this was in 2000 so younger people may not know that voice recorders required cassette tapes as there weren't really digital ones on market). It was around maybe 7:30 at night, me, my big sister, mom and my two yo...

Someone Was Sitting In That Chair by BiancaB

I have written previously about the house I grew up in, and it being a house that seemed to draw a lot of paranormal activity.

Whispers And Jingles by KittenscanFly2

Here are three paranormal experiences that I have experienced in the past year. One day while my little cousins were at my house, we went into the backyard to play. I was enjoying the fall colors when I heard a whisper. It either said, "I'm here", "Over here", or "Over where?" It was a man's voi...

Lady On The Bus by ButterflyChaser

I'm not sure this counts as a ghost story but I believe it is paranormal, and if not paranormal, it was a strange coincidence that makes me shiver. I was riding the bus, I believe the 64, which tends to be a busy route (at least pre-pandemic times). This was around 2019. What I remember was there...

The Murder House by MrsRamsay

A few years ago, I heard about a murder that happened at a suburban home that's located in a prominent place in my community, on a fairly busy street that many people pass each day.

Carol And The Man With The Top Hat - My Daughter's Ghosts by Aros

It all began when my daughter was around 2 or 3. I had put her in her crib for a nap and told her I wasn't going to turn on the ceiling fan because it wasn't that warm in the room. The only way you can activate the fan is to pull the chain from the fan itself which is above most adult's heads, or th...
