Tap On The Leg? by Pelatiah

I wasn't going to write about this, but can't NOT, as I would love your input. This happened just last night at 3am almost exactly. My bedroom is just down a very short hall from the front foyer of our suburban home, which is in a very quiet subdivision in an ATL suburb. There are two outdooo...

A Samaritan From The Other Side by nacpat88

Hey everyone. This incident happened to my family. Not sure if we can call it paranormal. It was in year 1987 at Yadgir in Karnataka. While I was part of the incident I was too young to remember. My mother narrated the incidents when I was older. The temple of Lord Malhari (an incarnation of Lord S...

The Unknown Entities by dazybloop

To start with, the following experience was in 2020. It was around 5pm and I was doing my homework. I was having difficulties in doing some of them, I asked my cousin to help me, which she did, and I still didn't understand, which made me super melancholy (I don't like asking for help and hate fe...

In The Haunted Forest, A Demonic Growl by Dimitry02

I am Dimitry, and I would like to share my story with you.

There was just an axe, no nothing, except just one big...

Past Christmas Visitation by The_Lost_Voyage_11

Graveyard And Bike by Sjn85

This happened about 5 years ago at St.Paul's church in my hometown of Skelmersdale. Recently single, I moved back to 'Skem' as we call it.

Woman And Horse Drawn Carriage by Sjn85

This happened in Scotland, Drummore on the B7065, New Years Eve 2014. Four of us, my best mate and our now ex girlfriends, stayed in a cottage for new year.

That Strange Feeling by The_Dark_Soul

This incident happened last year on the 20th of December. I was returning from work and was already late. The path to my home from the workplace is somewhat remote. Not much public transports go to that part of our area. As I grew up here that's why I am habituated to living here. I was never sca...

Foreign Language In The Night by Pelatiah

Have any of you ever dreamed in a foreign language? Or gotten short messages that way?

The Old Family Hill by The_Lost_Voyage_11

The story I'm submitting here was partially inspired by a recent poster who described the feelings of dread and anxiety, of being watched by something or someone unseen lurking in the shadows of a haunted home. It was also inspired by my recent trip home to see family, wherein the subject of family ...

Another Hitchhiker Haunting At Wee Hours by rahul_shelar16

It was a fairly cold early December morning. I woke up dragging myself from my bed not wanting to go to work but having to go anyway. Sometimes you don't feel like doing it but have to do it. Since my last encounter, it has become a little ritual for my mother to apply holy ash on my forehead every ...

The Creepy Yellow House On North Main Street by virulentpeach

I have experienced many events I believe to be paranormal throughout my life, and I hesitated to write about this one because my memories of this house are very dark. I have tried to block them out over the years, but I am unable to because I have such vivid memories of this house and my experiences...

1750s Horror Home In Historic Massachusetts 2 by virulentpeach

Angel, Or Something Else? by DreamBird

Back in the early 1990s angels were all the rage. You couldn't go into a store without finding a stand on the counter with guardian angel pins. Everyone wore them on their jackets. In fact, I still have one attached to an old sweater. At the time, there were many books out about angels and some of t...

The Ghost In My Basement Tried To Speak To Me by Cole_Harris

Hey there folks! I keep meaning to post more of my experiences to this site. I just didn't expect to be posting experience I had last night.

Possible Demon by amon

It's been about 30 years ago, when I was 13, but I remember this story like it was yesterday. I was a somewhat rebellious teenager and had always been interested in the supernatural. In addition to doing "typical" rebellious teenage things like sneaking out, skipping class, etc I also started listen...

Physical Duality? by aussiedaz

Several years ago, when my wife and I lived in an outer suburb of Sydney following a pretty normal mid-week day of activity, work, home, dinner, TV, etc. It was in the early hours of the proceeding morning, that I'd experienced an account, that was unique on its own in comparison to other accounts I...

A Ghost In A Hurry by Manafon1

Black Hooded Figure At Foot Of My Bed by Nettie1963

As I'm about to write this, I am experiencing chills remembering my experience. I lived in a house built by my great-grandfather in 1903 I believe. It's a dairy farm. I was a child, I can't remember at this time my age. Probably around 10 to 12 years old. My room was upstairs and there are four bedr...

My Unknown Visitor by dowdyfamily1917

I don't know if this would qualify as a true ghost story, but it certainly gave me pause. I lost my daughter back in 2004. Understandably it was unexpected and put me into a state of shell shock. I took to going to the cemetery and would just sit by her gravesite, sometimes crying uncontrollably. I ...

The Last Assignment by discerninguser

Delhi, India, 22nd December 2009. 6:00 PM on a chilly evening. I was scheduled to meet with some friends for dinner at a restaurant around 50 kilometres away from my house.

My Message For An Inmate by Oddityuniversal

I know I am a different type of human being than most. What happens to me is very unusual and why I am unusual is something that I have no noticeable understanding for. I just connect to a world which others never encounter. As I have said in my last story; there is no human that can say he/she has ...

The Stranger N The Shower by Spoopy_storee

Little Ghost Girl Trapped In My Friend's Apartment by virulentpeach

I have always been very attuned to the spiritual realm, and my earliest memories from childhood include sensing spirits in various homes I have visited. I have not experienced anything recently, until a recent visit to my friend's apartment. She lives in an apartment on the second floor of an old...

Shadow Dog With Red Eyes by ketchup65625

My whole life I've loved scary movies and I have a brother a few years older than me, so its safe to say I was watching them at WAY too young an age. Combined with the fact that I had a very over active imagination, I was scared of everything. The grudge was hiding in my closet, the clown from IT wa...

One Strange Night by Ahill1003

In 1985 I was 17 and dating a girl in Valparaiso Indiana. Her dad and I became close and we were both Bears fans at the best time you could be one.

Big Noise In Scarborough by Squeez-A-Snak

This story took place in Scarborough, a part of Toronto, in the mid-1990s. We lived in a storey-and-a-half house that backed on to a cemetery. I'm not suggesting that's relevant. It's just a fact. The house was built around 1949. This happened when we're doing renovations on the second floor ...

It Pushed Me In The Shower by PenOrSaber

I was about 6 years old when this happened to me. Some things may seem confusing, such as why my parents won't believe me now, when one of them was there, but there is a logical explanation that I know that I don't feel comfortable sharing. This is definitely not a dream I had, because I clearly r...
