Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Paranormal Experiences In Tampa

In 2008 I started a new job where I met the man I am now married (August 8th, 2010) to. While we were still dating, I would spend one or two nights a week at his place.

The first night I spent with him, I woke up in the middle of the night. (I have never slept through an entire night, so waking up in the middle of the night wasn’t unusual) I was laying on my side facing the door, right next to the door is a dresser, and the TV sits on top of it.

When my eyes were able to fully focus, I looked up and saw three entities floating above the TV. Two were men, and one was a woman. The men were dressed in black suits, and the woman was wearing a long flowing blue gown. I have no idea as to what era they were from, as the clothing they were wearing could have …

St Augustine Haunted Tour Turned in to Horror

Me, my mom and dad went to Florida to visit my grandparents. They lived about an hour away from St. Augustine. So since I thought I liked scary stuff, and we knew St. Augustine is Haunted, we went.

That night we went on a tour around the city. It was about 10:00 pm and I was tired and wanted to see something scary. Right around the first or second stop, the Tour Guide told us that “Around the 1800′s a young boy around the age of nine, always used to come to a cemetery where his father was buried. But it was a private cemetery so he wasn’t allowed in, so every time the guards came by, he would hide in a tree right next to his fathers grave stone,” I was getting scared now “But one day he got in the tree, and fell and broke his neck and died right on top of his fathers grave. They say …

Another Paranormal Experience in Tampa

In 1998 I divorced my husband and my 10 year old son, and I moved in with my mom and her new husband. While my step father was building a small apartment on their property for my son and I to eventually move in to, we stayed in their home.

Several times I would pass by the living room and see what I thought was my son playing in there. (We kept some of his toys in a big tub in there.) I would always say, “Hey baby what are you doing?” Or something like that, while passing by. I’d realize after a few steps that my son didn’t answer me back, so I would head back to the living room to see if he was upset or something, only to find absolutely no-one in the room or in the house for that matter.

I would then look for my son, only to find him outside with my mom. There …

Awakened by Large Glowing Slanted Eyes

When I was five years old, I had a very disturbing experience that I’m not able to explain or find any information on and it stays with me.  My fear still somewhat survives, but my curiosity has mostly taken over. This experience has been a catalyst in my life, drawing me towards paranormal/ physic phenomena, ghost stories, movies, causing me to question spirituality from a very young age and in turn, my own personal belief system.  Over the last few years with the internet, I’ve done some searches using keywords that would bring up stories/ encounters similar to what I experienced, but I’ve not come across anything even relative/ similar to my story.  I’d like to find some information or thoughts on it because it may help me figure a few things out and answer these questions I have that tug at me.  Before I go in to it, the question that really eats at me is why this being …

Strange Experience in the Bermuda Triangle

Has anybody ever had this experience? I really need an explanation, it has bothered me since it happened.

Last July 12, 2009, my husband, sister and brother in law were on a cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Key West. Late that night I looked at my cell phone and the date said Nov. 13, 1999. We should have been somewhere in the very western part of the Bermuda Triangle according to the maps I’ve researched.

The next morning in Key West it was back to normal July 13, 2010. I have a pretty new phone, it didn’t even exist in 1999. This date in 1999 was a few months before my dad died in an accident that could have been prevented.

My sister and I talked about it and decided to try to make a call if it did it again while we were coming back. Sure enough when we came back 4 days later it happened again the night …

Mary Kitchens Road

Here is another Pensacola area story. Sorry, Jim… Again! Garcon Point! A little history needs to be told. I never saw any thing “but”… I heard this, for lack of a better word, noise, screech, I don’t know.

I have heard two different versions of this story.

One: Mary Kitchens was brutally murdered on a road on south Garcon Pt. Another she was killed in a car crash. I do not know which is true… sorry!

This happened three times when I was by myself, I would hear a screeching woman! It sounded like someone being tortured. I would be standing on my girlfriends front steps smoking a cigarette and hear this God awful shrieking!

At first I thought, coyotes, peacocks. I didn’t know what was making that noise! I was friendly with my girlfriends neighbors, so I asked around about the “screeching”. They looked at me like I was crazy so I dropped it.

One weekend her brother was …

Haunted People in Pensacola Florida?

I have submitted some stories to this blog. One has been submitted, Jim here… again. We are not in Tampa anymore, the panhandle of Florida. Pensacola. I also need to say that in 80′ and 90′ I had some experiences, but it wasn’t till 2000 that things started to “break out”. I also would like to say I do not embellish or exaggerate. Here it is…

I met a beautiful woman, a lot of fun to be around! I stayed at her house a lot! Anyway, I work as mason so I am up at dawn and not home till sunset. She worked as a bartender so we were on opposite schedules. And by the way I have always hated bars.

I would be in bed early most nights, but when I would turn out the lights and turn in, this feeling of dread and nervousness would almost wrap around me. I couldn’t stand it! I would finally get up …

Downtown Tampa

Jim again. This happened late one Sunday night in the summer of 92′. I was cycling on Bayshore Blvd., it’s a seven something mile long sidewalk that goes from Ballist Point to Davis Island which is just downtown. As I passed Bay to Bay Blvd. the path curves toward the north, that is when I saw something that made me get off my bike and rub my eyes and then look again.

I sat there for almost an hour watching this thing and telling myself I was not seeing it but of course I was. There were no clouds in the sky that night except one. Directly over downtown was the face of a devil! I was not on drugs, I was not drinking. This face was so detailed. There were eyes like a cats that seemed to be looking around. There were horns, nose and a mouth with fangs.

Here’s the curious thing, the wind was blowing out of …

My Friends House and the Satanist Band

In late 1980 I lived in Tampa Florida. I rented part of a house from a friend. We had known each other for several years but were not particularly tight. My rent helped him, a place to live helped me. We will call him Zippy.

Zippy was friends with a Satanist band, mostly the bassist, we will call him Blind. Zippy and Blind were trying to open portals to hell, worshiping the devil and other foolish and scary things. I was friendly with both of these people but was not into what they were. But what ever they were doing started bleeding over into my life! This is what happened to me.

First: I was driving a hotrod Firebird. As I was pulling into the driveway slowing down to stop, the accelerator went the floor, I had to stand on the brake to keep from going through the living room. The only thing I could do was turn the ignition …

Sarah’s Bogyman

Hello my name is Randy Mcneese I am 29 and I live in Florida with my wife April and my two kids Joey and Sarah… And I want to tell you about my ghost encounter.

It all started in March of 1997. My kids and I were home one night alone because I was on vacation and my wife was gone because she works late nights at our local hospital. Joey and Sarah were asleep and I was watching TV. It was about 2:15 in the morning when Sarah ran into the living room crying and screaming saying that there was a bogyman under her bed. With me being a skeptic my first thought was that it was a doll under her bed scaring her.

As I was leading her to her room to show her nothing was wrong I heard what sounded like coughing (my son was asleep in the living room the whole time) so I told Sarah …
