House Filled with Shadows
I am 17 years old, and since I was 9 I’ve seen and felt peculiar things in my house. My mom had experienced paranormal phenomenon during her life so it annoys me when she says it’s just my imagination. My friend tells me that her mom does the same thing and that she’s just trying not to freak me out more.
I’ve always felt eerie things in my house. My female dog sometimes barks at certain places in the house, usually in the kitchen and at the stairs, but no one’s ever there. I saw someone in the kitchen once but I thought I imagined it because when I turned around to check, there was nobody. Sometimes I go downstairs (we live in a two-storey house) and my dog is sitting in front of the stairs in the living room looking at them, and she seems relieved when she sees me. When I try to get her back into the …
Read Complete Story Here...Sleep Paralysis or Demon Encounter?
I’m 17 and I’ve had sleep paralysis several times, but never had anything “demonic” happen. And only once did I experience a negative force during sleep paralysis. Nothing this intense though.
In my past I’ve had a few demon related events, but nothing this intense and direct. Last night I fell asleep a little bit after midnight.
Dream 1
It started out normal and I knew I was dreaming. I was with some guy and he started acting weird and morphing shapes. It started to get weird and scary so I tried to wake myself up. Then I saw myself laying in bed, I thought I was awake and I heard my dog begging to get up on my bed. I reached my arm down to get her but she wouldn’t come to me. Then I felt something on top of me, violently humping me. I tried to push it off but I could barely move. Then more evil spirits …
Read Complete Story Here...The Gray Ghost
My dad has told this story to my sister and I when we were young, growing up in Charleston, South Carolina. Through the years he has repeated the story a few times and the details have never changed.
He and a friend were planning a “surfing” trip along the east coast during a school break. They were anxious to get the trip started and found they couldn’t sleep the night before they were to leave. This friends family owned a house in Charleston very close to a very old and well known cemetery. The graves in this cemetery date back to the civil war and probably beyond. The cemetery was very dark, protected by a high wrought iron gate that was locked every evening. The farther back you went into this cemetery the darker it got. It was a moon lit night that night and the bet was that my dad could go further back into the cemetery than his …
Read Complete Story Here...Unexplained Experiences in Rural England
Hello all. I thought I might share some of my family’s experiences with the unexplained. The following is true so far as I am involved in the events, and where I am not, the information is from people I believe are credible. I should add that there is nothing particularly dramatic about what I have to relate: if it’s supernatural melodrama you are after, you should probably move on.
I grew up in rural Shropshire, a county in England in Great Britain for those not in the know and it was during this childhood that my only significant experience of the unexplained occurred. Incidentally, by rural I mean that our nearest neighbour was approximately half a mile away, and the nearest significant centre of civilization was some sixteen miles. In England we don’t have any real wildernesses: the country is so old and so populated nowhere is very far from some sort of urbanization.
The house I lived in was …

I am Haunted
Hi, my name is Ashlee. I have had experiences since the days I can’t even remember. My mom just told me a story about when I was little to me this year. When I was about 3 or 4 my mom heard me scream in my bedroom. She came in and asked me what was wrong. I had told her that a man had come out of my closet and had taken me to the other side but a boy told him to bring me back. This story sent chills to my spine because I was so young I don’t remember it happening. However, I’m not even close to being done yet.
I was about 6 or 7 years old when my parents moved me to an old farmhouse in Benedict, NE. One day I was in the kitchen looking out the window at my dog Mack because He was barking so loud. I could see the reflection of the …

Read Complete Story Here...My Brief Incident as a Psychic
I had a very brief incident as a psychic. It only lasted for a few months, but I will never forget it.
I had lost my job. I was about to loose my apartment too. I didn’t know what to do. Someone turned me on to dubbing music and selling them. I did it for a while, paid my bills and all was good. Little did I know that I was being watched. Soon I was busted and found myself doing time in the county jail, one year.
It started out like this, I would be sitting around with a group of guys, just talking. Then when someone could not remember a name or detail about anything I would suddenly blurt it out. This scared some people. Some thought that I was a spy or something. I grew from there, I would tell guys how to plea their cases and win. I could tell them what their loved ones were …
Read Complete Story Here...Paranormal Activity at My House
Here are some different stories about paranormal activity that has gone on at my house.
I’m 19 now and it wasn’t until I was older that I have experienced things that have gone on in my house. I live in a house that is kinda old. My dad says it used to be an old hospital which is kinda cool to me. We have done some remodeling to it except for one room. I’d like to believe that this room is crazy haunted. We have two stories to our house and the upstairs area is divided into two rooms, a small one and a larger one with a bathroom. I have a few stories about things that have happened to me and some things that have happened to my sister while she was living with us as well.
When I was in grade school me and my best friend Christina were hanging out at my house and she was spending …
Read Complete Story Here...Growing Up With A Ghost For A Best Friend
Most people when I tell them this don’t believe me. I just hope you do. I have been haunted all my life by ghosts and from a very young age I could see and talk to ghosts. I was five when my family realized, I am 14 now.
One night when I lived in my old house my sister woke up to find me in the middle of our room. I had my arm out and it looked as if I was holding a hand and I was talking to the space in front of me. My sister got creeped out and locked herself in the bathroom until the morning. She was woke up by me and my mum banging the door trying to find out what was up with her. When she told us my mum didn’t believe it. But I knew she was telling the truth. I remember the night well although I couldn’t remember being in my …
Read Complete Story Here...Helping a Stranger My Ouija Story
I am writing this from a cell phone, but I felt compelled to share my story after 10 years (I am now 25).
I created my own Ouija board using a wooden art box, a sharpie and a clear makeup screw off top. My best friend and I were 13 or so and we decided to try using a board. We asked the typical questions and some interesting answers came. One thing I noticed was that whatever we spoke to couldn’t talk about what its like to die or describe God BUT they did agree to a heaven and a hell.
I wore a blessed Rosary that my grandmother had given me. I didn’t know what to expect but I wanted to be cautious. So one spirit seemed upset and said his name was David or Dave, something. I asked him why he was upset and he said that his daughter was being hurt. I asked him if he wanted …
Read Complete Story Here...Haunted Sydney – The Rocks and Quarantine Station
Australians have a long history with ghosts. Our second national anthem, “Waltzing Matilda” includes a ghost who returns afterwards to the water hole where he had been shot by English soldiers. While defeated in a referendum, this was almost the Australian National Anthem! I think we may be the only country who nearly stood, tall and proud to sing about a ghost! Now that’s the ‘ol never say die attitude!
In Sydney, “The Rocks” area is very popular with Ghost Hunts as many of the original buildings from 1800 still stand and some lanes still even have original cobble stones from 200 years ago! 200 years ago it was a poor area and mostly contained a ghetto of the poorer folk, though now it is a gentrified part of the Sydney CBD and one of the most expensive parts of Sydney! I think that would have some of the poorer folk turning in their graves!
On one Rocks tour in …

Turn the Light Off Fool!
This event isn’t the usual shocker story people often look for in these kind of forums. But it’s something that I never really could explain.
I moved down here to Florida five years ago. I had lost my job in Michigan and had to stay with my mom for a few weeks until I got all my resources pulled together. They had lived in the house for about a year at that time and my mom and her boyfriend said they thought they had a ghost in their home. This didn’t scare them though. My mom is a strong spirited and rational woman who lived with a war veteran with extreme PTSD for nine years. She lived with a real life demon in the flesh so it takes more than some shadow or noise to spook her.
Her boyfriend is another war veteran of Vietnam and was a cop for twenty years after. So obviously she’s hard to shake up. …
