Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Demon in the Woods

This story has never been heard by anyone. I chose not to say anything because I know what happens when you tell someone you have seen a demon.

7 years ago when I was just 12 years old something happened to me that I will never forget. My life was altered that cold windy night. A few friends and I were playing hide and seek, like most little boys do. The neighbors did not care if we played in their yard, and there was a church next to that. We had plenty of room to play a good game of hide and seek, flash-light addition. It just so happened it was my turn to be the seeker. I had given everyone approximately 4 minutes to hide, we counted in the garage with the door securely shut. My 4 minutes were about up so I began my quest to find my friends, but that was not what I found at all.…

Helped an Elf to Give Birth to Her Child

Dear readers this is the story which happened in my mother’s family and has been quoted generation by generation. The story was said by my mother’s grandmother’s aunt. She told it to her children. I will tell her story here as below:

Many years a ago, when technology hadn’t been developed, in each community there were women who were skillful in helping women to give birth and they were called midwife. My mothers’ grandmother’s aunt was a midwife. She was a brave, cool, wise and contriver woman. It is quoted that in hard situations she tried to save both life of mother and infant. She also went to neighbor villages to help Lucina women. Coldness of weather, difficulty of ways and etc. couldn’t prevent her from helping Lucina women. She described the event for her children as below:

It was a cold and dark night. The wind ululated. No one was in the alleys. All the people were in their …

The Pirate Upstairs

As a young boy of 13 I lived on a farm in southern England next to the river Arun. Being the oldest with two brothers and three sisters I naturally became the baby sitter of them when my parents would go out on a Friday night. It was on one of those Friday nights that I experienced a paranormal experience!

I had just put my brothers and sisters to bed, made myself a cup of tea, put another log on the fire and just sat down to read a book [We had no TV or video games back then] when I heard a faint laughing and whispering sounds coming from upstairs. I got up from the chair and yelled “If you kids don’t knock it off I’m coming up there with the paddle”. Then there was silence and a smile came on my face and I sat down to read my book. Half an hour later I could hear it …

Civil Defense Shelter Hole Tacoma

I am from Indiana and I lived in ther Tacoma, Washington area 30 years.

Iwas sleeping in a boiler room under Tacoma Avenue in the basement of the Brant Apartment Building. I worked there as a painter, I had the room to myself, bars on the only window, 2 doors one steal door padlocked from the outside and a stick propping the inside, the other led to a room with a civil defense manhole cover and out through a broken down wall which I had covered with around 8 old doors to keep out the cold, that door to the room I was in was hook locked from the inside, the lights were out the wind blew cold and hard as the door squeaked open and the tone of male voices and the sound of soil scratching under their weight moved closer, they lifted the tarp I had over me, I stayed still, it changed shape like a leviathan?

The Monks of Lilleshall

The beautiful ruins of Lilleshall Abbey sit lonely and unheralded at the end of a farm track, tucked away in an unexpected, sleepy corner of the Shropshire countryside. The decaying walls of the Abbey are shielded from the nearby road by a line of trees and feel distinctly isolated and sheltered from the outside world.

Stand at the centre of this imposing structure and breathe in the atmosphere; touch the cold, lichen-covered walls and journey through time to a darker, less enlightened age.

It was a miserable day to arrive at Lilleshall: the sky was a thick mass of angry cloud; the wind had whipped up and drove channels through the grass way; and the rain was beating heavily, running as fierce torrents across the ancient grey stone. I had parked the car in a neighbouring layby, just in case the approach proved too small and busy; why I don’t know – anyone else would have turned back in this …

I Thin I Saw My Grandmother’s Spirit

Just days after I turned 10 years old, I found out my grandmother had passed away. She was thought to have died in her sleep from either a stroke or heart complication (she had a heart condition we were aware of) the same night she and her husband (my grandfather) came back home from a trip.

It was the very beginning of the school year, the month of September and my parents, brother and I had to travel from Michigan to Quebec to attend my grandmother’s funeral. But it was not long until several strange occurrences began to happen.

One day during our stay in the condo, (which is where they lived) my mom had hung a bouquet of red roses upside down on the wall in my grandparent’s bedroom to dry them out. The next morning, my mom had noticed that the roses were placed on my grandmother’s bed faced up. She then had us go to that bedroom …

Strange Presence and Seeing Faces

I haven’t had any definite contact with the spirit world, or anything paranormal. I can honestly say that I don’t find that a bad thing. I’ve heard too many stories written by regular people who have had a bad time with ghosts. I am a believer, and this is an occurrence that has been happening to me in my bedroom at night.

Over the last two nights, after my parents have gone to bed, I have been feeling a presence in my room, somewhere t the foot of my bed. This has happened before, but it was never as strong a feeling as this time was, and it had only ever happened after I had watched a horror movie on ghosts or something. During the time this happened, I saw the imprints of white faces while my eyes were closed. The faces only showed the part that caught the most light, like the nose and forehead, and they looked like …

The Vicarage Child

About 12 years ago I used to live in an Old Vicarage in Anglesey North Wales and it was a gorgeous place to live in and had many rooms. It also had a church that was closed off but it was still used for some burials of some of the local folk, but that is all it was ever used for.

Not long after I moved in I was in this big eerie building with my best friend at the time Shaz, and we were sitting down chatting with a cup of tea, then through my living room door I saw this figure clear as day of a child from the Victorian ere, but the problem was there was no children in the house or on the grounds at that time and both my front door and porch door was locked, yeah it did scare me at first, but the little boy stayed which I didn’t mind, but he was …

Ghost Hunting At Morecambe Winter Gardens

This lovely old building sits proudly nestled along the promenade of Morecambe looking over the bay, the building is a testament to Britain’s imperial past of the 19th century. We arrived and were greeted by both Andy and Pete who helped make sure the nights events ran so smoothly, and easily.

The activity started very early in the night as during our initial walk around whilst we were on the middle floor four people all gasped as they were sure they had seen someone sat in a seat at the exact same time at the opposite side of the theatre.

After our initial walk around the building, you were struck by the architecture and ornate decorations of the winter gardens. It is fair to say that the building has seen better days but that did not stop you imagining how it would have looked in it’s heyday. However in the here and now we were there to participate in a …

What Is Wrong With Me?

My story begins when I was around 18. I had my first baby born and me and the father were having problems. We were always arguing and I ended up living with my older brother and his family in his home with my baby. To this day I don’t know where my daughter’s father is, he just left me and the baby alone and left. Out of no where I don’t know why I used to hear voices and see things I couldn’t explain. My mom said it might have been my nerves because when I was living with the father and my baby someone tried to brake into our home and I got very scared. So my mom said it has to be all in my head. Well anyways it all started with that.

I started getting worse to the pint where I would be throwing up and and started screaming that I could see things and hear things. …

What Lives in That House?

As I am writing this I am at the age of 17. I was 13-15 when the story I am about to tell took place. I have always believed in the unknown. I can see spirits and talk to them and some times I allow them to control my body. People have always looked at me like I was the odd ball out and I am in ways. My cousin how ever didn’t believe me until she witnessed my doll try to kill me.

When I was 13 my mother moved me to Fostoria from North Baltimore. I knew the minute I stepped in the house that some thing was not right. Call it a gut feeling. Well while unpacking I had noticed that my favorite school girl dolls (collectors dolls) package had been damaged. So instead of trying to fix it I just took her out of the package. Now my doll had brown eyes when I had unpacked …
