Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Hauntings and Mysterious Footsteps

I’m not sure what to think of all of this, but that’s why I’m posting this. So other people can give their opinions. Anyway, I have lived in this house for a little over a year now, and nothing paranormal has happened, until now.

It was a Saturday, not too long ago, and it was 12:30 am. I was the only one awake in the house, everybody else was asleep. I was on my computer in my bedroom, when I heard a noise, like a TV being turned on. I thought somebody couldn’t sleep and decided to watch TV, so I didn’t worry much about it. I continued on the computer until about 1:00 am, and I decided I wanted to go to sleep. I walked out of my room, because I had to use the bathroom, and I saw that the TV wasn’t on, and everybody was asleep. But the noise was still there. It was loud, and I …

Haunted Bridge Black Dog

I write this story in hope of gaining some answers into a couple of strange occurrences that have happened to me in the last couple of weeks. I’m currently living in Australia, and although I do believe in the paranormal I have never in my 26 years experienced anything of that nature until recently.

I like to keep myself fit so I often go jogging whenever I can, unfortunately because of the heat I can only do so in the evenings when it cools down. One evening I was running my usual route which is around a block of streets which form a kind of a huge rectangular track. I always noticed that at one of these corners there is a small dirt road that veers off and leads to a dead end about 100 – 150 m up. About half way up this track is an old stone bridge that crosses over the track. It’s been mostly demolished now …

Contact from Departed Friend in Sleep Paralysis

A late friend contacted me through sleep paralysis.

A few years ago one of my best friend’s killed himself. During the period up to his death I was going to see him as he was at a place I am sure none us would want to be at. He would often talk about death, he didn’t believe in life after death. We often argued as I do believe there’s something after this life.

We made a pact that if one of us were to die we would get in contact with whoever was still alive. My friend sadly decided it was him to go first. I lost a really good friend, someone I will miss until its my time to go, but not for a long time I hope!

Anyway it was two weeks after his funeral, I was asleep and in my dream my friend was in it. I can not really remember much about the dream, anyway I …

Hauntings in the old Yesler Terrace Apartments

I was a young divorced mother with very little money when an organization helped me secure public housing which was 30% of my income a month. These places were called Yesler Terrace and they were converted from military homes to two to four bedroom units. When I first stepped into the fairly big and spacious two bedroom unit I got a real eerie feeling and started to cry. I didn’t know where these tears were coming from but on the car ride back to the place I was temporarily staying at my father says to me, “You have no other choice right now because you have very little money. Just think of it as a temporary place while you finish school; you’ll find some thing else in the near future.” So I “sucked it up” and my daughter and I moved in the following month.

The first event happened downstairs in the living room early one morning. I never felt …

My Guardian Angel

This story took place when I was 13 years old. My family was still grieving over the death of my cousin who had been gunned down in front of his house on march, 25. I would always catch myself seeing his face when I closed my eyes or feeling something standing very close behind or next to me. But there were two occasions that kinda freaked me out, both happening at night.

I was about 2:55 in the morning when I laid down to go to sleep. As I was laying in the bed I kept hearing a faint tapping noise that seemed to be coming from my dresser. Every time I would look over at my dresser the noise would stop. After a few minutes the noises still wouldn’t go away and being that I was getting kinda tired and wanted the noise to stop I got up to go see what was making that annoying noise. When I …

One More Night in the Haunted House

My name is Ben, and this is my second story. The first, ” I Need Out Of This Haunted House ” was posted in December, and recounted the details of the first six horrifying months I spent in my new home. The events in that story took place between April and November of 2009. Things have gotten much worse in my house since then, and telling the story is quite therapeutic for me, so I will continue with this story pretty much where the last one left off. It may be beneficial to find and read that one first if you haven’t yet.

After waking one morning to a chilling message typed onto my laptop, it was the final straw. After months of eerie happenings around the house, my nerves finally broke. I dressed quickly, grabbed my computer, my car keys and ran out the door. I vowed never to step foot in that house again, I wanted to sell …

Shields Tavern Ghost Walk in Colonial Williamsburg

This happened in September of 2009, in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. I was there on vacation with my sister, my Nana, and my papaw.

We were buying our tickets for the day when I noticed a flier for the Tavern Ghost walk. My Nana asked if I wanted to go to it and I said yes. My sister didn’t want to go so my papaw and my sister went back to a hotel. My Nana and I stayed. We walked to the meeting place, in front of Shields Tavern. Our tour guide led us to different places along the street. There was this story of a girl who got run over by a carriage and died on that street we were walking on. The tour guide was carrying a little lantern with a candle inside it, and she asked me to carry it. I said yes, and walked beside her. My Nana was about nine feet behind us and decided that …

An Experiment Scene Reconstructed

March 2002 – Place  Pune, India.

Although I personally witnessed the below incident, I was not the driving force behind it. For me, it was always going to be more like an experiment and I  had already decided to be just a spectator with an open mind and that is exactly what I did. Let me share it.

Zoyanal was my senior colleague and friend in the amateur forum that we had formed sometime back to discuss the paranormal. His was a strongly opinionated personality and he paid little attention to what others had to say. He firmly believed that the smallest of the discussions or the conversations that occurred in the past always remain alive at certain level. They fade away only when the majority of the wandering souls that were part of those scene or discussions are reborn somewhere else. Since for each soul, the waiting period can be different, the scene can remain intact for few seconds …

My Demon Visitor

This was about two summers ago. So in 2007, it was summer time and we had a big thunderstorm. I was at my Grandmas house and we chose to all go out on the porch to watch the storm. The porch was covered so we didn’t have to worry about the rain. Everyone wanted to go inside but my mom and I really wanted to stay and watch so we did so. My Mom was cold and asked me to go grab her a blanket so I did so.

When I came back I handed her the blanket and sat down. She was unfolding the blanket and covering herself while I looked out into the distance. I saw some type of shadow walking, it looked human but my grandmas property was all fenced off. Lightening struck and I saw the shadows face. It had a blood red face with yellow sharp gagged teeth and black scratches all over its face. …

Is There Anyone Else Who Can Do Telemetry?

I discovered by accident that I could pick up an object of individual and hold it for a few seconds and do a reading. I am not like the psychics you hear about on TV or the internet. I have to touch an object several times probably a letter or maybe befriend the person visit their house. Then later maybe weeks later I will dream about anything that might happen to that person. Mostly life and death situations. I am actually Catholic, and pray a lot to God.

As a child in the 1970′s, I visited my friend Tammy’s house a lot. We lived in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. During that time Tammy told me that she was attacked by two neighborhood boys. The next night I fell asleep and dreamed that they would also attack me. The next day I ran across the street to find my little brother, but the boys jumped me from behind some bushes and trees. …

I was Possessed did a Crime did the Time and was Delivered

I am going to be honest: I do not truly care if anyone here believes my story. I would, however, hope that those who are overly skeptical would suspend disbelief and simply listen. I would also hope those who are over-eager to believe every bump in the night to be demonic mischief, that merely chanting magic words or holding a necklace can somehow bind what they believe demonic would calm their nerves and listen (read) as well.

I am no expert. Neither are you if you only grew up watching X-Files and regularly view FearNet or Syfy. I can only tell my story. Those close to me know this story is true, but it is difficult to tell others -they simply get freaked out or mentally deny it to protect their personal beliefs.

Why tell this, and why here? Well, I am not sure. As stated above, this is not something I can regularly talk about, it hurts people, and …

Little Spirits and Nanas Death

I am only 13 and it wasn’t even six months ago when this happened. This story did not happen to me but my grandmother.

My grandmother (who I call Nana) who lived with us had been very sick for the past year. One day my mom was supposed to go out and have lunch with one of the family’s close friends but something just told her not to so she headed home. When she came home the cat wasn’t waiting by the door like he normally does, and that was an immediate sign that something was wrong for her. Instead of my cat waiting at the door he came running from around the corner.

My mom went over to my grandmother’s room and she found her on the floor propped up on the side of the bed. “So you decided to play a trick on this old woman,” said my grandmother jokingly. “I don’t know what your taking about,” my …
