True Ghost Tales

Cold Shivers in My Bedroom

This happened to me and my family back in 1991. I kept a diary of all the things that happened in our house and I’ve begun writing them in a collection of short stories. I’m just curious if this has happened to anyone else or if my imagination was just going crazy on me.

In 1991 we moved into a 4 bedroom house on the city fringe of Brisbane Australia. Of all the bedrooms in the house, my Mum, sister and me always felt cold shivers when we walked into one particular room of the house. The room to the door was right off the hallway. One night, my mum told me about a dream she had. She had gotten up to get a drink of water in the middle of the night and was raped by three men in their 50′s. In the dream, they grabbed her in the corridor and dragged her into my room where they raped …

Haunted Darwin 8

Further to my previous submissions that are my own on this site ( see previous stories here ) I am also privy to the ghost stories of others ; this was told to me by a customer last week.

My middle aged friend and her 2 daughters in their early 20′s live in a house I guess you could describe as on stilts, in an outer rural area of Darwin called Humpty Doo.

These open air planned homes are best suited for the tropics, high off the ground to catch the cooler air and large verandahs all the way around.

They moved there about 5 years ago and the girls always felt creepy, particularly on the side of the house where the elder girl has her bedroom.

The mother initially dismissed the girl’s complaints as being upset after a new move.

The daughters found when they were in the bathroom at the end of the house they could hear people …

Moving Furniture

Well it all started when me and my boyfriend were on holiday in the Blue Mountains in Australia, in a place called Mt Victoria. It’s a really beautiful old place built in the late 1800′s.

Upon entering this place I knew there wasn’t just us two in the house but I didn’t mention it. At night, I could hear creaking noises and just figured it was the old house. Anytime the two of us were in a room with the door shut, for instance the bathroom, we could hear banging and we thought someone may have broken in but thankfully no one hadn’t.

On our last day at this place, we were packing things up and cleaning the rooms, one of the doors to the rooms we had shut and dead bolted during the night, my boyfriend went to open it up and but something was blocking the door, when he finally pushed it open he could hear the noise …

Christmas Eve Ghost in Darwin

Christmas 1989. I was spending Christmas with my three sons at my older sisters and the rest of the family. My sister lived in an older style housing commission home that was once a one room home with an outside laundry that faced the road and the back door was the main entrance. The house, over the years, had been extended and a further three rooms were added. My sister had four children a mix of both sexes and they had told me the house was not friendly. I already knew that you could sense and feel it, the children had witnessed a few strange goings on but had dismissed it. Well Christmas eve of 89 took the cake.

Our mother and stepfather were sleeping in the lounge room. My sons shared rooms with their cousins and I was to share my sisters double bed and the other sister slept on the floor (mattress) with her two youngest daughters. As …

My Haunted House in South Australia

When I was 10 my family and I moved to a town in South Australia due to personal reasons. We moved into an old house. At first nothing strange happened.

But then one day when I was about 12 I was home alone and it was getting dark, I had just finished dinner and was sitting on the lounge texting one of my best friends when I could smell a funny smell that was best suited for an older person.

At first I thought nothing of it but then I could feel a slight pressure on my right shoulder and the smell was stronger. Then I heard a whisper that sounded like ‘it’s ok. I will protect you’. That’s when there was a knock at the door.

I went up to the door and looked through the key-hole, on the other side I could see a strange figure looking at the door. I heard the whisper again this time it …

Freaky Old Queenslander in Brisbane

About 2 years ago I was living by myself in an old Queenslander in Brisbane Australia with just my cat for company. I worked 2 jobs so I got home late every night and my friend who lived in the house behind mine asked me to come over most nights after work for a cuppa so she would know that I was safe. I never really felt anything creepy in my house but I would always hear footsteps running around my house late at night which at first I passed off as the neighbours kids next door being rowdy as that house was very close to mine. That was until my friends hot water system broke and she and her husband and 2 kids would come over to use my shower, and they both told me on separate occasions that when they were in my house alone they would hear running through the house and thought it was my cat …

My Supernatural Life Began at 40

Most of the supernatural events began in my life at 40 years of age. My sister was losing her house and asked me to have a séance with her to find out what might happen, stupidly I agreed. Yes, I felt the glass move and answer questions but I didn’t feel as though I was contributing, we did it a couple more times and I then felt energy going through me.

My sister asked me to go with her to visit friends (HandB) on the NSW north coast and being the middle of summer in Australia (mid January, 1998) I agreed to go. I got up to have breakfast the next morning at (HandB’s) and was sitting at the table when suddenly I felt really ill, I slid off the chair and banged my head on the tiled floor, I was unconscious for a short while but when I came to I could feel an unnatural presence around or in …

Evil Being in My Room

It all started from the age of 8 until I was 13 years old and then we emigrated from Italy for Australia and it all stopped.

My dead and mum were running a business on a new building constructed and managed by my parents. Our living quarters were on the first level and the business at the ground level. For the first couple of years nothing happen until it started with a bang.

I was sleeping next to my little sister cot (5 years younger then me) I was 8 she was 3. In our bedroom we had a round green glass shaped ball light with a low voltage light globe but enough to see the surroundings of the bed and partially the room too. I recall going to bed at around 10 pm, my sister was in bed before me and in deep sleep. I had an habit to stare at the light before falling asleep it was my …

Haunted Darwin 7

Further to my previous stories of which there are many and more recently about “Kevin” my resident spook in my defense home in Darwin, Australia. Kevin decided last night he would prove he was still present.

My husband is army and had been deployed away from home for the last 2 years and finally returned home in December 2010 ‘for good’ (as impermanent as that may be, as any army wife will tell you).

The house is in general disarray, filled with boxes of his gear and his unpacking needing to be done, as no-one quite had the time to get around to it over the Christmas / New Year period.

So if you pardon the pun my house, looks like a bomb has hit it.

Last night after a hectic schedule of unpacking and then re-packing the items we want to go to storage, hubby retired early but I stayed up as I was putting some washing through the …

The Suburban Hallway Wanderer

My grandparents bought a block of land in the mid 1950′s in Sydney Australia. They build a brand new modest 2 bedroom home on the property, they lived in the house with my father who was an only child. My grandparents worked often so my father was home alone most of the week. A few times during his childhood my father would see a dark tall figure walking down the hallway, he asked his mother about it but she completely dismissed the story. Then after my eldest brother was born my mother was sitting in the living room with him adjacent to the hallway. The living room doorway was covered by 2 glass doors, my mother felt as if there was someone near her she turned and saw a shadowy figure pass by the glass doors, she scooped up my brother and ran after it, all she could see was this dark full colored cloud disappear into thin air.

Haunted Darwin Australia 6

As to my previous stories, and recent notoriety with my ghost ” Kevin ” landing me on the front page of the Northern Territory News. I have had to field numerous radio interviews both National and International, live TV appearances and magazine coverage due to ” Kevin the horny ghost “. Yes, if you have come across the media coverage of the housewife with the horny ghost, that’s me! But as I tell my friends, I’m no housewife, I work full time for a living! And Kevin isn’t horny, as I told one interviewer, if he had grabbed my wrist in the kitchen, he would be no doubt labeled the hungry ghost! But Kevin is still present and going about his business.

As recently as Saturday 9/10/10, my son was in the dining room at 11.17 pm and on the PC when he looked up and noted the tall male figure standing in the doorway that leads into our lounge …

Not all Ghosts are Scary

If I may, I must preface this account with the fact that for 34 years of my life, up to the night it happened, I had been expecting to see something one day. Although generally a hard line rationalist, I have always ‘felt’ something in particular places.

Even as a very young child I remember somehow knowing that I should not go into certain houses or rooms in other people’s houses. I would, and still do feel an intense cold sensation in places that I sometimes later find out were believed to be haunted.

Rarely do I feel anything other than the cold. However, I inevitably come away from such an experience knowing details about the cold chilled rooms or houses. When I say details, what I mean is I know without thinking about it, the reason the cold sensation is there. I cannot say I understand how or why this happens, it simply does. An example may help to …
