My Girlfriend Saw Dead People
I’m sure everyone’s had that nightmare date or something similar happen to them. This one happened to me a couple years ago in the fall when I was living in some apartments in a neighboring city to the one I grew up in.
A nice girl in the congregation for the church I attend who a roommate was interested in had taught a lesson during church and I gave an innocent compliment at some function later that same day that suddenly made her realize that I existed, so she dropped the zero and started flirting with the hero. This made my roommate pretty jealous that she lost interest in him over me (This is what happens when you put SOCOM as a higher priority than women). Needless to say we didn’t spend much time over in my apartment since he acted jealous any time he thought of the two of us together.
She was from a country town and wasn’t …
Read Complete Story Here...Alone in the Kitchen
Ok I have a short story. This takes place back in the mid 50’s with my great grandmother. She was a very religious woman, therefore I have no reason not to believe this story.
At that time my great grandfathers aunt Ellie lived with them and was pretty well confined to her room as she was in her 80’s and her mind was almost gone. Aunt Ellie had a sister (Mildred) that lived in Iowa. Mildred had been in failing health for awhile and passed away in her sleep. After a discussion my great grand parents decided not to tell aunt Ellie because they were afraid that if she understood what they were telling her then the heartbreak of losing her last remaining sister might be too much for her.
Around a month and a half later aunt Ellie passed away. Everything was fine until 2 weeks after aunt Ellie’s funeral. My great grandmother was doing dishes one afternoon after …
Read Complete Story Here...Poltergeist Activity or Something More
First of all, I would like to thank everyone for submitting stories. I enjoy reading everyone’s personal experiences because I have had quite a few beginning when I was a small child. But this is not about then. I had my most recent experience this evening. I apologize in advance for how long this story is.
I injured my back in January of 2010 in a car accident, and sometimes the only relief I can get is by taking a hot bath for hours at a time. Sometimes it can get a bit boring, so I take a kitchen chair and place my laptop next to the claw-foot tub, I usually read stories from TrueGhostTales.com.
I live with my boyfriend and another roommate. Tonight, my roommate left the house at 5:30 pm to bowl in a league with his father. I hung out with my boyfriend until 6:15 pm when he also had to leave to bowl in a different …
Read Complete Story Here...One Crazy Night
Okay I want to tell you guys about the other night on and what happened the next day…
Okay after my husband and I put our kids to bed we went to bed and this was 10:30 pm so we went to probably 40 minutes after we always keep the light to the kitchen on and leave the door open for my kids. I woke up about 1:05 or 1:06 am one of those but I woke because I heard a little girl laughing and playing with my sons baby swing and I thought it was my daughter Haylie who is 3 years old so told her to go back to bed. I got a good look at the little girl and she had like blondish brown hair and she was not wearing anything but a diaper. My daughter has dark brown hair and had a night gown on and does not wear diapers but I didn’t snap about how …
Read Complete Story Here...What Was It?
I’m fairly new to this, and I have never submitted a story here, but I have read a lot and finally decided to post a few of my own experiences. I do not know how relevant they will be, but I will be grateful for opinions.
One
Not exactly something scary or exciting as what I had read, but it happened, and I’m an open person.
About two years ago, my boyfriend passed away. It was a hard time for me, especially after the funeral. Now, I lived in his house with his mom, and three brothers and used his/our room.
People started asking me how can I still sleep in our room, wasn’t I afraid of anything happening. I told them ‘no’. In fact, I was really in my comfort zone, apart from the fact that I was usually in a bad mood or crying. (I moved out about 5 months after).
I, so far, have a hard time …
Read Complete Story Here...Shadowy Figure in the Bedroom
Hello all, After reading all the stories people have put up I decided to recall if I had anything past memories or “hauntings”. Now I’m not a full skeptic but most of the stories I read I tend to think are made up. (Most likely because I don’t really want to experience it first hand). But enough of that and more to my own experience.
My memory begins living in my old house in North Mankato, Minnesota. I was around 10 or 11 at the time, I’m currently 20 now. I cannot recall exactly when I began to see this shadowy figure in my room, but from when I first saw it till the time my family moved I saw it every night at exactly 1 am. I shared a bunk bed with my older brother, who always wanted top bunk, which left me with the bottom.
One night I had woken up, something that was usual for me. I …
Read Complete Story Here...House on Green Sreet
This happened a few years ago at a house on Green St. in Spokane. My boyfriend and his brother moved into this house together, and when I came over the first time, I got a really uneasy feeling about the place. I have always been sensitive to spirits, not really able to see them, but I can sense them, and I can usually tell if they are positive energy or negative energy.
Anyway, the house in itself looked creepy. Even before I entered into the house I was getting feelings of wanting to go away. My boyfriend just told me that I was being a baby about it, so I stayed. Weird things were always happening in this house but one experience my boyfriend and I had in this house one night will always be in my memories.
We went out for a little while and we arrived back at his place around 9 pm. We weren’t tired, so we …
Read Complete Story Here...Briannas Imaginary Friend?
My mom is 34 years old, and she just had her first child. It was a beautiful girl named Brianna. Brianna was about 5 months old when she had her second child. It was a boy named Tyler.
After Tyler learned to walk we moved into a beautiful home. It was a blue house with a dark green roof and a beautiful front garden. So we unpacked and got settled in. We even got two kittens named Iris and Celeste. I was finished unpacking in my room, so I decided to call my friend Keya over. When I called them, I heard the phone ringing on the other end. Someone picked up. I said, “Keya! Hi it’s Jenna you need to come over to see our new house!” No one answered back. I said, “Hello?” And all I heard was nothing but this static sound. Then the phone made a beeping noise and a weird monotone voice said, “Sorry, this …
Read Complete Story Here...Neal Hurt the Baby
This happened about three years ago, when my uncle Dave first moved into the house on main street. His daughter Dani lived with him, and her 2 year old daughter, Jaylyn.
A lot of weird things happened in that house. When Jaylyn wasn’t home, and if you sat in the living room, perfectly quiet, you could hear little bare feet running through the house, and a baby crying. Jaylyn was the only baby on the block, so it wasn’t coming from the neighbor’s house. Jaylyn would have full conversations with someone we couldn’t see, not if you looked for them. If we asked her who she was talking to, she’d simply say, “The baby.”
Now, Jaylyn was the only baby in the house, an only child, so we figured there was a ghost that she made friends with. No big deal, you know?
One night we were moving furniture when the power went out. Usually, it would come back on …
Read Complete Story Here...Haunted House in Greensburg Pennsylvania Part 2
This is a continuation of the Haunted House in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, a true story.
I had been continuing to hear noises in the house everything from foot steps above every floor that I was on to items being moved around. Even though I was alone in the house, it felt like I was being watched by someone who stayed just out of sight. I was more intrigued than I was scared after I had gotten somewhat use to the weird things that had happened in the prior months.
After I had done the research on the house is when I became more interested in what was happening and I really wanted to see if I could find out as much as possible or maybe even help by making contact with whomever was there. I knew that a little girl and her mother and father were in there, but I was really wanting to help the girl and her mother …
Read Complete Story Here...The Evil Jezebel Spirit
It’s 4 o’clock in the morning and I’m looking for answers… I’m trying to make sense of what happened to me tonight.
I’m no stranger to evil things… evil spirits, demons, ghosts. I’m only 19 but I’ve seen things that many others have not and will never see.
This year I feel much closer to God after realizing I was followed and tormented by demons for years. Just when I believed I was free of that in my life I discover they are still out to get me and my family – I discovered what I’ve been suspecting – my mom has an evil entity attached to her. So I’ll tell you the story of what happened with my mother and how I’ve come to this realization tonight.
As much as I love my mom, she has problems. Other people reckon she has mental problems, such as schizophrenia, bipolar or multiple personality disorder, of course my mom will tell you …
Read Complete Story Here...Niece’s Elves Come to Life at Night
I recently got to visit with my niece and family for about an hour. (I’m keeping identities vague and anonymous on purpose.) My niece is 7 and she started telling me about how her 3 plush elves come to life sometimes at night, usually around midnight, and then they cause “mischief.”
Everything can be explained away as a child’s active imagination; however, she ONLY has such stories about her plush elves. None of her other toys or figures come to life, she says, only the elves. She has talked about them causing mischief over the years, actually, and she has never told such a story about anything other than the elves.
At the last visit, there had been a vase of flowers spilled all over the kitchen table, and my niece assured me that one of her elves did it, late at night, when she was sleeping. She had to clean it up when she got up in the morning.…
