Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

The Ghost in the Linen Closet

I did not believe in ghosts when I moved my family into the brown rented house in Ironton, Ohio in 1975, but I would come to believe!

On the very first day and night there, I felt something strange lurking in the house, especially near and in the linen closet.  I felt cold, and the hair on the back of my neck stood up.  I also, felt a chill when I walked up and down the stairs, or when I was near the record player.

At first I shrugged it off as being just a draft from the door or window, but when it became too strong to deny, even though I still had my doubts, I decided to believe that there really was something there, and “talk” to whatever it was. I made a pact with the “ghost” and told it that I would keep the linen door open at night and play the record player often only if …

Haunting After my Brother was Killed

I levitated then a week later my 17 year old brother Sean died in a car accident in Woodstock Illinois.

On August 1983 my 17 year old brother Sean Thompson was brutally assaulted by a J. Greenham who was 19 from Woodstock Illinois. He was mad at my brother over a pretty girl named Connie. My brother was found lying at the LakeWood Apartments in Woodstock Illinois on the ground unconscious. A woman found him and called an ambulance. My brother was taken to Woodstock Hospital with head trauma. I went to see my brother in intensive care, his head was the size of a large watermelon. He was embarrassed. His eyes were bloody red. It was a horrible attack. My brother’s face was all beaten in. My brother was in intensive care for over a month.

Sean was released two months after being in the hospital. Before leaving Woodstock Hospital, I asked the neurologist, would my brother have any …

The Ugly Woman who was Really Beautiful

I remember laying in my bed wishing for the noise to go away, waiting for the young women to leave the feet of my bed, waiting for my eyes to get so heavy that I would be able to close them without the fear of waking up till the next morning.

The morning sun was driving through my blinds, I gave a small yawn and got out of bed and made my way down stairs, for some reason I always felt comfortable down stairs, mom was sitting on the couch watching TV and I made my way to the kitchen and grabbed a pop tart and began eating it in the living room. Mom, I said staring into the TV, what sweetie she said, am I gonna have to sleep alone tonight?

There was a long pause than she took a deep breath. Autumn, she said, you can’t sleep with me forever. I know, I said, It’s just I feel …

Am I Crazy to Predict the Future?

Why do people think I am Crazy when I can predict the future?

At the age of seven I was placed in a foster home in Cannon Falls Minnesota. My foster parents were missionaries. While being held on that Cannon Falls farm I was instructed to go to the mailbox by my foster mother during a bad electrical storm. I felt an electrical charge while on my way to the mailbox retrieving mail. I was shaken, feeling a strong electrical current going through my body. But when I returned to my parents home two years later. I found I had psychic abilities.

The children in my Cannon Falls neighborhood thought I was a gypsy and I had the ability to predict future events. My girlfriend Tammy Chapman had a crystal ball and a Ouija board. We used it to communicate with spirits. I would look into the crystal ball and act like a gypsy. One afternoon after playing with the …

Strange Things in the House Where I Grew up

Now a lot of this is second hand as I was only four of five years old at the most when a lot of these things happened, and I am now 30. These are mostly the stories of my mom and sisters as they were older then me and would of a much better memory of things happening. These things all happened in the house we grew up in Michigan.

I should probably give a little back ground information about my Mother, as I think she probably was the key to letting a lot of these thing happen. My mother was always one who loved horror – horror books, horror movies, ghosts, ghost stories, and so one. One time she even told my Dad (his words) “That she sold her soul to the devil for a quarter”.

Anyway, there were many stories of strange things happening in that house. It started with random happenings like with any basic haunting. Lights …

Physical Changes and Incredible Feats of Power

After a long and thorough read (About demons on this blog), I wish to share with you a piece of my story and a partial view. Note however I myself am seeking a guide who may help further my knowledge on this subject, but that’s for another time.

My childhood was filled with abuse, be it my own parents or the numerous foster parents I moved through. This was the base which fueled my rage, my family itself was filled with religious fanatics and spiritualistic beliefs. It contained an average of 30 deaths or more per year as well, mainly those whom I believe delved to deep into matters which where beyond their control and or knowledge to deal with.

Now you must understand I was a still born baby, who to this day should not have the breath of life. My mother refuses to believe it was the man I call my father who aided in conceiving me, and …

Was it a Ghost or Bigfoot?

Ever since my sister and I were small we felt we had something following us. We lived in an apartment with my mother and father at the time and we would always have mysterious things happen to us. I had over heard my mother at one time mention that while she was at the sink doing dishes something had touched her on the shoulder and she had become very cold.

My sister and I shared a room together, as a kid I always had very vivid nightmares. One night both my sister and I were still awake when all of a sudden in the corner of our room a loud sound and movement. There was nothing else in our room, just us, we continued to have things happen like this for some time, things would also go missing and were never, ever found.

My father has been diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic and we noticed that after he left this seemed …

My First Ouija Board Experience

Hello, I’m a 19 year old college student in New Mexico and I recently had my first experience with an Ouija board. I really regret it now. About a week and a half ago, I was invited to a friends dorm to simply “hang out.” Little to my knowledge, they were planning to play with an Ouija board. I have always objected Ouija board because I was raised in a devout catholic home. Anyways, I arrive there and I immediately want to leave after setting my eyes upon the board, though I didn’t say anything. My curiosity took control.

We sat around the Ouija board on the floor. There was four of us. Chris, Jonas, Nikki, and myself. When I first set my hands on the palette, I felt a shock and pulsing through my whole arms. I quickly took my hands off and stood up and proceeded to leave. Of course my friends convinced me to come back to …

What Was That Strange Box?

Lets see where do I start? I am 42 years old now. All my life I dealt with some kind of form of paranormal activity in the beginning I was just confused and thought nothing of it, as time went by I got older and moved several times it wasn’t until I moved into my house where I live now everything became intense and I was scared. Not any more I learned and experienced things and how to help others to cross over or just say hi and listen, so I understand now.

This story I am about to tell happen when I was 11 years old my sister was 16 years old she worked on the weekends as a maid cleaning up lodges at a resort tucked in the wilderness somewhere in California (sorry don’t know where she went I was 11 didn’t pay attention). She would be gone the whole weekend cause the resort was located far from …

Some Strange Dreams

I’m 26 and often have nightmares. Some are so vivid and disturbing they stay with me most of the next day. I’d like to tell a few lucid ones.

One night id been asleep for a few hours when I either sat up in bed or was dreaming that I did. I was looking straight ahead of me into the corner of my room in front of my closet. Standing there in front of my closet and next to my chest of drawers was a small boy of about the age of 6.

He was dressed in a navy blue jumper and jeans, he was a little taller than my chest of drawers and had short brown hair.He started to come towards me and reached out his hand towards my face. I recoiled and moved back further up the bed.He stretched forward and touched my chin, well this really freaked me out because I felt it and his hand felt …

My Sleep Paralysis Experience

I just had a sleep paralysis experience a few nights ago. I felt as though I was trying to wake up but I couldn’t/wouldn’t open my eyes for fear that I would see a ghost or something. I noticed first a humming, buzzing, extremely intense energy hovering around my upper body. It was the strongest energy field I have ever experienced. Then came the overwhelming fear that this was an evil presence or entity that possibly wanted me to acknowledge it. I just kept my eyes shut, until finally it was as though the buzzing and hovering instantly ceased, then I reluctantly opened my eyes. I think I was expecting a human shape, or ghostly form, but I felt relieved that I didn’t see one. I somehow managed to fall back asleep. Now that I think back, I could have seen a black mass in front of me for mere seconds and just interpreted it as my eyes trying to …

My Uncles Ghost

My dad’s youngest brother died before I was born but everyone in my family believes he is still among us and shows up in occasion. I seriously haven’t seen his photos and was not interested in his tale about how he is haunting our ancient family house where no one lives now. By then I was 15 and alcohol is a tradition in our culture, literally, I can’t remember when I first drank, but now I see my uncle and friends making their toddlers sip on alcohol.

The tale starts here, our family had a get together in our ancient house, possibly about 200 years old, and everyone was drinking as usual. I was drunk enough to throw up. I didn’t knew exactly what time I passed out but when I got up I found myself on bed. I had a headache and cursed myself for drinking so much, possibly I was having a hang over, I went downstairs to …
