Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

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 …

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 …

Paranormal Experiences in the Twin Cities

There are several instances of unexplained phenomena I’ve witnessed in my life. I’ll just touch on a few… not discussing possible causes, just describing what happened.

Woodbury, Minnesota – Early 1990′s

I was in junior high and staying over at a friend’s house for the night. After the usual pizza and movies, we went to bed in his room with me on the floor. Some time in the wee hours I awoke and intended to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water, but I didn’t make it that far. The bedroom hallway opened up to a large, open area of the house which included the entryway, stairs to the basement, and the living room, with the kitchen on the other side of the entryway. As I stepped into the entryway, in the light filtering in from the front door sidelight windows I saw a white-clad old woman rummaging in the top shelf of the coat closet and …

Insomnia – the Boy in the Radio

I’m alone and it is dark. It’s incredibly late at night and I probably should be trying to sleep. Some nights I can’t even bring myself to try. You’d understand if you saw what I saw, heard what I heard, and felt what I felt. As a kid I always believed in ghosts. If you’re reading this now then chances are that you probably do too. Chances are that you don’t actually know for sure. Well, I know for sure and it keeps me up at night.

I grew up in a suburban city in Minnesota, about an hour’s drive south of the twin cities. Our house there was built in 1905, originally as a hotel. Ghosts always seemed to appear to different members of my family at different times growing up, but everyone except for my father has a story to tell.

Like most families in Minnesota we were incredibly religious, so it was not a stretch for us …

Is There Anyone Else Who Can Do Telemetry?

I discovered by accident that I could pick up an object of individual and hold it for a few seconds and do a reading. I am not like the psychics you hear about on TV or the internet. I have to touch an object several times probably a letter or maybe befriend the person visit their house. Then later maybe weeks later I will dream about anything that might happen to that person. Mostly life and death situations. I am actually Catholic, and pray a lot to God.

As a child in the 1970′s, I visited my friend Tammy’s house a lot. We lived in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. During that time Tammy told me that she was attacked by two neighborhood boys. The next night I fell asleep and dreamed that they would also attack me. The next day I ran across the street to find my little brother, but the boys jumped me from behind some bushes and trees. …

We Teased the Devil and Crashed Our Car

We teased the Devil and our car crashed in Duluth, Minnesota.

My stepfather Richard worked as a motel clerk in Duluth, Minnesota. Duluth was a small town and was about 50 miles south of the Canadian border. The year was 1972 and I was 7 years old and my brother Sean was 5 years old. That winter was especially brutally cold.

The December temperature reached a negative sixty degrees. My stepfather tried to make more money working delivering newspapers from his blue Rambler to feed our small family of four. My mother would stay at home in our little apartment to stay warm. The rooms were always slightly chilly. But nothing compared to the bitter cold that was outside that apartment.  No one went outside. It was early Saturday morning and I could look out the window and see smoke coming from all the old buildings trying to produce heat. My mother told us to go with Richard my stepfather …
