Reincarnation of Bridie Murphy and Dad
My mother had 10 children with her first husband. A year after his death, I was born to my 45 year old mother, the result of a brief affair. When I was one year old, my mother met my step-dad who was 25 years younger than mom and younger than several of my half-siblings. Dad raised and loved me as his own, as he did not have children of his own.
I was first introduced to the concept of paranormal activity when I was around 12. My Dad was a firm believer and we discussed it often. When questioned on why he held the belief in the supernatural, his response was always “If you ever have the opportunity to read the book ‘The Reincarnation of Bridie Murphy’, read it and you’ll understand.” Over the years, I made half-hearted attempts to locate a copy, but never did.
I remember our last discussion on the subject when I was 17. Dad and I lamented…

When I was 14 or 15 my mom and step dad were having problems. They fought all the time and my step dad would take his frustration at my mother having a job in a different hospital (they met in the ER both as nurses) on a gallon jug of wine every night and me and my two younger siblings. Without getting into details he was verbally abusive, almost physically abusive (I had to stop him a couple times from almost beating the crap out of my brother) and probably sexually abusive (to this day I still don’t know if he really came into my room at night).
One night in the midst of everything that was going on, I had locked myself in my room to talk to my boyfriend at the time. He was across town at the time at his fathers house. In the middle of the conversation he stopped and told me, “this is going to sound…

Ever since I was about 9 I would hear voices outside when I was playing or see things behind me in mirrors.I don’t really know why but I’m 14 and I still have the same things happen I don’t really pay it much attention because nothing bad usually comes from it. But just a few weeks ago I was really freaked out and so was my friend.
It started about October, 11 Saturday when my friend invited me over for a sleepover. When I got to her house my head was hurting which usually happens before I see something in a mirror behind me and freak out, but usually that sort of thing only happened when I was at my house because Indians used to live on our farm so I ignored my headache. We did the usual at sleepovers games, manicures, gossip, that sorta thing my friends mom asked us if we would take some sewing stuff to my friends…

I’m not exactly sure when it started, maybe it was when me and my sister contacted my dead grandmother, she possessed me and wrote a message to us on my arm in marker, but it was round June 26 of last year that the real scary stuff started happening.
One night I was at my boyfriend’s house the moon was full it was a clear and cloudless night. Danny and I were sleeping, and I was having the strangest dream. I was a General, my armies were preparing for battle then suddenly we were ambushed. I remember striking off the heads of the ambushers. They were the faces of people I know and love! But this dream seemed to be set in a much different time period, I was killing my boyfriend, my family and everyone I knew. Then It changed I saw a man with green eyes and black hair staring at me. Then we were alone and he was…

Read Complete Story Here...My Haunted Pet
Here is my first and only haunting activity I’ve ever experienced during my life. It was just one of the many experiences that my dad, being a very devout catholic, has had during his whole life.
About 10 years ago, when I was 10 years old and we were still living back in El Salvador, my siblings and I used to have a small parrot. We had it for like a year or two and his name was a Hispanic nickname…Pepito. Every night we would usually put him in a small cage in which he’d perfectly fit, then cover the cage with a small towel, and he would sleep outside in a small 7-feet by 7-feet backyard along with other doves we used to own.
Then one night, we did the usual, we put Pepito in the cage, placed him outside in the backyard, covered it with a small towel, then we all went to bed. This was at around 9:00 pm.
Then…

A Visitation for the Dogs and a Precious First Granddaughter
I had a story about dog and ghost too that recently has just crossed my mind. It is not my own experience. It’s my mother and grandmother from my father’s side that experienced it.
My grandfather from my father’s side loved dogs and had quite a lot of dogs throughout his life. Almost all his relatives love dogs. There was one unusual thing that happened around his death. One of his dogs was suddenly upset as if it knew that my grandfather had just died and it let out a long, long sad howl. It loved my grandfather a lot and it felt so lonely and sad that it kept waiting next to the gate of my grandfather’s house for days after days. Maybe it wished that my grandfather would come home through the gate like usual.
One afternoon suddenly the dogs became very excited and hopping around the gate as if they…

Seven years ago I was in a small town Junior High Drama Club. The weekend before our performance we decided to stay the night at one of the girls’ houses to practice our lines and hang out. (No boys were in our Drama Club: small town) Before I begin to tell about the events of that horrible night I must first tell you about the house.
Dee Dee’s mom, (I’m changing the names) had a fascination with ghosts. She had weird paintings on the wall and every thing. She also had the little Hallmark Villages set up all around her living room. They were strange. Dee Dee never said anything about her house being haunted or evil though. And it didn’t feel haunted when I first entered the house. I would soon find out how very wrong I was.
We started out practicing our lines in her Basement/Garage. We soon got bored however and started telling ghost stories. I really wasn’t into…

Since I was a young girl I have heard strange noises and seen strange figures. I must have blocked a lot of this out because the memories have hit me in waves over the years.
I recall being very young and something coming to me and telling me that I wasn’t meant to live. I was born premature and had a rough beginning, but this voice insisted that I go with them and it scared me to death. There was the sound of breathing in my bedroom, and feelings like I would leave my body in the most vivid lucid dreams…
Fast forward to age 13. I began hearing voices in my bedroom saying much more sinister things. I thought I was going crazy… and then it happened. I thought I was dreaming… I was laying in my bed and in my “dream” I saw my bedroom door open and a figure come in… it appeared to be a man in boxers……
Read Complete Story Here...Repeated Paranormal Encounters
Hey, I thought it was about time that I told someone (something!) about my Encounters I’ve had, I’ve had a few and I’ll try to keep them short, luckily for you, the first is easy.
First;
This is the most frightful yet confusing one I’ve had. I’m twelve, and I’m in my bed, late one night, past midnight. Can’t sleep, too hot in my room, so I head to the window. As I’m about to open my window, I have a strange feeling someone’s outside, underneath the window hovering, waiting for me to open it so he can drag me out. I stop, I’m being silly, so I open it (very quickly) so its fully open. I head back to bed, hop in, and keep the covers off.
Ten minutes later, I feel a bit chilly, so I think about pulling my cover over me, but, I cant move. I think maybe because I’m not trying (I know, wild guess), I so try…

My fiancés grandfather that he met after death through me!
Ok so here’s how it goes. My fiancés grandfather passed away in the early 1970’s right before my fiancé was born. One night me and my fiancé were sitting on the couch watching television and I kept feeling like someone was poking me on my shoulder. It almost felt like a spasm so I asked my fiancé to rub my shoulder to see if he could find any trigger points and to see if my muscles needed stretching. (I work in physical therapy) Well as he dug in my shoulder there was no pain but the poking feeling continued.
I’ve come to realize that when ghosts need something they poke me, call my name, interfere with my electronics and many other things. Well I heard something in my head so I decided to hold a little séance. I have a pendulum that I use and I make a chart so ghosts can…
Read Complete Story Here...My Haunted House Part II
The Blonde Girl and The Chatter
My house is pretty crowded. Not just because of the four of us living here, but everywhere I turn I seem to be bumping into someone. I’ve managed to let go of the fear associated with seeing ghosts, but the startle factor is still a big issue for me. I just can’t seem to get used to walking into a room and finding a stranger looking at me and then disappear, or just hang out, depending on the day.
The first ghost I actually saw with my eyes in this house was a little girl. She looked about 5 years old, but I knew she was actually 8. Again, I don’t really know the ins and outs of how this ability works, so you’re just going to have to take my word for it. She was skinny with long stringy blonde hair. She never said a word to me. Just watched my every move when she…
