Helpful Ghosts
I was renting a house in San Diego with Kiko, whom I had met at work. After about two weeks we realized that our morning schedule wasn’t working out… one of us was getting ready for work at the same time the other wanted to get into the bathroom to shower. So one evening we sat down and worked out a schedule. He would get up earlier, shower, shave and do whatever else men do in the bathroom in the morning, then when he was done it would be my turn. We went to bed feeling good that we had worked it out.
The next morning I awakened early and heard Kiko get up, heard the shower running, then later walk through the hallway past my closed bedroom door to the kitchen. All of a sudden, from above my bedroom door, came what I call whispers on the wind. It sounded like a chorus of about 10 people whispering together, …
Read Complete Story Here...Experiences and Thoughts of Ghosts
This is where I have a problem… I don’t believe in an after life, but I do believe in ghosts because I’ve seen one and had exceptionally strange things happen.
The time I saw one, well two, was when I was driving with a friend, down a main country road with no street lights. It links where I live to the next main place, Litchfield and because there’s no houses etc, people go quite fast down there and there has been quite a few fatalities of people walking along there.
We both saw two lads up in front of us, walking on the right hand side, heading the way we was going. They started to cross the road, without looking. Because I was doing about 50 mph, by the time they got near the middle of the road and seeing that they still hadn’t looked behind, so they knew I was coming, I put my main beam on full. As …

This took place in Christoval, Texas as well, but I am not the one who had the connection with this girl. My guy friend who always went ghost hunting with us did.
It was a Friday night I believe and a week away from Christmas,when we all got together to go ghost hunting since well I was moving and wanted to get as much hunts in before I left. Well we all left Roberts house and headed to the park on main street. When we got there we did the normal things, ask questions, took pictures and he walked around.
I didn’t get anything in the pictures this time though. Robert however saw a monk walking around in the old fashioned robes with the pointed hoods and the robe color was white, he only saw it for a few minutes before it disappeared. He eventually told me that when I went to talk to him and thought that was interesting.…
Read Complete Story Here...Poltergeist Activity in Ocean Beach
Ocean Beach on the outskirts of San Diego… This was the place where I experienced most poltergeist activity.
One morning I found that the end of the belt on my robe was wet, so I threw it over my shower curtain rod to dry. Later I hopped in the tub to take my shower, closed the shower curtain, noted the robe belt hanging there and pitched it over the rod onto the floor. After my shower I put on my robe, looked around for the belt which I expected to be on the floor, but one end was threaded through a belt loop on my robe!
Another morning when I placed a bottle of shampoo on the side of the bathtub after I finished washing my hair in the shower, it fell into the tub and I just said phooey, I’ll leave it there and pick it up tomorrow morning when I shower again. Later that day I found the …
Read Complete Story Here...Ghost Girl Living in My House?
It all started when I first moved. I was sleeping in my room for the first time when I woke up and I looked at my alarm clock and the time was around 4:30 am. I looked over my bed and I saw a girl in a white dress, she had short black hair, she looked sad and she looked like she was crying. I quickly looked away and I couldn’t sleep for the rest of the night.
A few weeks later it was Christmas and my uncle came to my house for Christmas he had to sleep in my room, so I had to sleep with my mum I woke up in the morning and me and my sister were awake. The room was cold and this was odd especially when it was around about July. Straight away I thought it was the girl so I called out and said is there a spirit in this room? If yes …
Read Complete Story Here...Ghostly Alarm Clock
The most haunted place I’ve live in was an apartment in Ocean Beach, on the outskirts of San Diego. At 3:30 one morning, I was just beginning to awaken to make a bathroom trip, when all of a sudden it sounded like someone took a heavy wooden slat and slammed it against the wall above my headboard as hard as they could. It startled me to the point that I jumped up and my heart started to beat hard and fast. I was very aggravated and since I felt I had developed a relationship with the spirits who seemed to follow me from place to place, I verbally told them that I have to get up and go to work early in the morning, that this was not acceptable, that I wish to be awakened only in case of emergency, that I already knew they were there so they didn’t have to remind me in the middle of the night, …
Read Complete Story Here...Beeps from Nowhere
In the year that my friend and I rented the haunted house in San Diego, about four times as I awakened in the morning, I would hear what sounded like three very, very faint beeps in my ear, like the sound a garbage truck makes when it is backing up. Then, without warning or the volume increasing slowly, suddenly the beeps would be about 85 decibels and be so loud and startle me so much that I would jump up to a sitting position in bed! Once I was in a sitting position, they would stop.
My friend and I were sitting on the couch watching TV about 9:00 one night, windows and doors closed so I know the sound did not echo from somewhere else, when from the corner above and behind the TV came about 5 very loud beeps, like the ones I had been hearing in my ear. We looked at each other, then got up and …
Read Complete Story Here...Growing Up in a Very Haunted House
I’m sure this is going to sound crazy, but I grew up in a very haunted house. My family moved in with my grandmother when I was eight years old. I had never had any encounters with ghosts so I had no reason to believe in them or fear them. That changed on my first night there.
I shared a large room with my mother and I felt scared, so I climbed into her bed. I felt something breath cold air into my ear so I opened my eyes and a tall woman stood next to the bed. I couldn’t make out all of her features, but her eyes looking into mine will always stick in my head. I hide my face and looked again and she was gone. A few months later I was sleeping in my moms bed again and she looked over at my bed across the room and said, “Chrystal I didn’t know you went back …
Read Complete Story Here...Strange Light in a Utah Cemetery
For some reason, the subject came up of strange things around Monticello, Utah. I am not from there but at the time resided there. I was talking to someone who grew up there, my co-worker’s daughter, slightly younger than I. I figured she would know fact from fiction and rumor, since she grew up there. Then I told her about the cemetery I had gone to there one day. I was out just taking a walk and this one road ended at a cemetery. I told her it was so peaceful there and not spooky like you would expect. Then again, I went in the day time.
We were in her back yard lounging into the early evening. Monticello, Utah is a very tiny town, like you can drive from end to end in one mile. She just happened to live within two right hand turns of the cemetery, probably a mile and a half total. So, I said let’s …

Read Complete Story Here...I Angered the Spirits
At age 66 I had my first incident of sleep paralysis. I had never heard of it before… so I blamed the spirits who make themselves known to me every once in awhile. (We have always had a good relationship – they make their presence known, and I acknowledge them, smile and accept it.) When I was finally able to move, I got out of bed and whispered loudly, “Any spirits who are here, follow me.” I went into the room next to my bedroom (I didn’t want to stay in my bedroom because the walls in my apartment are very thin and I didn’t want to awaken any of my neighbors), stood in the dark in front of my computer desk where I had previously heard a voice say “hello,” and very angrily I whispered loudly, “Please feel free to continue to say words to me, to move things around, to make yourselves known to me, but NEVER TOUCH …
Read Complete Story Here...Tebray Is Back!
Back in 2008 I posted a story about a ghost called Tebray ( The Boogeyman Whispered ‘Tebray’ ) and how he used to torture me when I was 3. I am now 16, 17 in July and live in a town called Hebburn. I thought it would be good to reminisce and go back to all the previous houses I had lived in, including the one in Longbenton also known as the devil’s house where Tebray was.
This is how it went, me and my friend went on a trip to Longbenton and I didn’t realize I was walking past my old house where Tebray was. My eyes were glued to the window where the sitting room was. I ran from the front to the house to the back where my old bedroom was. I was thinking that its been too long to hold this fear anymore, so I decided to confront them. As soon as I spotted my bedroom, …
