Ironing Board & Drowning by valkricry

I'm going to tell of two separate recent incidents that I don't believe to be related. The first is the case of the disappearing ironing board.

Meditation Encounter by Spirit2022

I'm not sure how to start this really. But here goes... A little back history for this experience. My mother's upbringing was quite tumultuous. Very chaotic, abusive etc. She brought that with her as she lived. She always had a dark cloud just lingering above her, and she never knew quite how...

My Baby Son And The Open Closet Doors by TranscendingTales

May 9, 2023, at 12:40 a.m. In the dead of night, I retreated into my quarters after securing the doors.

This was my second experience, staying in a haunted house. It was back in 2005 when my friend and I rented an apartment in Nashik, Maharashtra, India.

I need some answers as I am very confused and drained. Around four nights ago I was sleeping when I felt this pressure upon my body. I awoke and I could literally hear the bed springs creak from something pushing down on me. I fought it off but I felt it again and I was not scared as I have ex...

A Nightmare And A Farewell by lady-glow

SV became part of my extended family after marrying my second cousin RM.

A Premonition And His Voice by DreamBird

Almost a year ago I woke from a strange dream. I dreamt that my partner's dresser was missing from our bedroom and I was staring at an empty space.
