Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

My Old Hag Experience

I suffer from insomnia, with 3 boys 10 and under, this wont do, so I take a sleeping pill that knocks me out for 12 hours without fail. Once it kicks in and I fall asleep all 3 of my boys can rough house over me jump on me and I don’t waken (it has been tried thank goodness for my husband).

One night in a deep sleep I had a nightmare. I screamed at myself to wake up which I’ve done before due to lots of nightmares in the past. Only this time, I had to scream at myself to wake up several times. When I finally awoke I opened my eyes and couldn’t move at all. I felt like I had pins and needles throughout my entire body. I felt pressure on my chest, and I saw a dark shadow where it was I couldn’t make out what it was, but instead my eyes were drawn to what …

Demon Story or Ghost Story?

My whole life I’ve had problems sleeping in the dark. Since I was little, I have felt a very dark and taunting presence in my dark bedroom that I could usually pinpoint to a certain corner of the room. I am a Christian, so praying out loud and telling it to leave in God’s name was the only way I could sleep.

Well, about 3 years ago I was about to move out of my parent’s house, and it was bedtime. I was the last person to go to sleep. Through my bedroom wall I could here a radio that my stepfather always left on in the garage. I went out to turn it off, but nothing was on. When I came back inside I thought I heard the music coming from the back porch, so I checked it out, but nothing was on. I walked back to my bedroom, but then I heard it coming from my sister’s bedroom, …

The Old Hag on the Stairs

This was only a dream but it seemed so real. It took me a long time after I woke up to shake the sleepy feeling of me and bring myself back to reality. I sat up on my bed and recalled the dream with accuracy, it was something I did not want to forget.

It almost seemed that my soul went into this woman and I was living this woman’s life, while I was sleeping.

In the dream I saw a beautiful woman knocking on the door of a Victorian home. The sun was brightly shinning outside on a summer day. The woman who continued knocking on the door was in her early 20s. She appeared to be of Spanish and European decent. She had long straight brown hair and brown eyes. She had on a silk red dress with black high heels.

An old woman answered the door in her bare feet. She looked like a hag. The old …

My Best Friend Was Possessed by a Demon

It was the summer of 2010, and my friends and I were a couple of bored teenagers in a small town looking for something to do. I will refer to my friends as S, T, B, and myself, J.

We were at T’s house, it was around 10 o’clock and we decided to make a Ouija board. B and I had done this many times before; we always had a certain interest in the occult and such. But for T and S, it was their first time. I also think it is important to add, that T, B, and Myself all believe in God (we’re all females by the way) but S did not. Anyways, we made a board out of a large thick sheet of paper and painted the letters and numbers on with nail polish.We turned off all the lights, lit incense and candles. And then we began.

We asked if anyone was there, and someone answered. The …

My Evil Dream

Hauntings have been part of my life since I was born but recently I’ve been having very weird and demonic types of dreams.

My weirdest dream was a few months ago. I had a dream that I was sitting on the side walk with my older brother and I saw that he had a tattoo on his neck so I said, “what’s that on your neck? Is it a tattoo of a buffalo?” and he covered up the tattoo but I moved his hand away and it was a tattoo of the devil. Then all of a sudden it started saying something in Latin. Then the sky got all dark and red and people started vanishing.

Somehow I ended up in a grocery/costume store with my aunt, cousin, and myself. We were wondering where all the people went and we found out that if we stayed on Earth any longer we were going to end up in Hell. For some …

Late Night Terrors

I was living in a fifth story apartment in Stockton, California in 1999 when the following events took place. The apartment was a very beautiful place: I was told it was built in the 20′s and still had an a very Art deco feel and look. My living room was quite large, hardwood floors and I had views of the city, I had a whole corner of the building to myself. I felt happy to be living independently after a failed marriage. I worked and came home. I thought I was doing ok.

I admit to delving in the occult. I used to buy candles from an occult/magic shop in Manteca, California. I was lonely and the candles were supposed to be love spells, and I had candles burning all the time.

I started having nightmares. I would start to fall asleep and felt once I was asleep, that something or someone was in the apartment with me. I would …

Strange Recurring Dream of Mermaids

Since I was eight I have had this dream. I don’t have many memories from before I was eight about anything though. Just enough to confirm that I’m (probably) from this planet and that I’m (plausibly) human. Here’s a short story of my dream:

“Stay away from them. They’re coming, and they want you’re blood”

I am in complete darkness. But I can feel. I am on a circle of metal,sticking up through a sea of a warm, thick, liquid, the smell of iron fills the air and I know almost immediately what the liquid is but I dare not think about it. I feel a sensation of the air turning thick and something closing in around me and know it’s my claustrophobia, I’m in a small space.

Suddenly a scream fills the air and I’m surrounded by a bright red glow, coming from a source I do not know of. Then I saw it, It’s tail was finned, and …

Demonic Face on the Wall

I don’t remember how old I was but I think I was in the 4th grade. So I guess I was really young at that time. The story I’m about to tell you is real and the only one who were able to witness this were my two little sisters.

The apartment me and my family were staying was about 25 to 30 years old. It was on the 5th floor. That was our first apartment. There was always something odd about that apartment. Most of the time my dad and mom used to get angry for no reasons at all and me and my little sisters used to fall ill most of the days.

Here is one incident that happened to my mom when I, my dad and my sisters went to meet some relations of ours because my granddad passed away recently.  My mom stayed back for she said she wasn’t feeling well. After the visit my dad …

The Demon that Follows

My first true encounter with the demon that has haunted me for nearly all of my life, didn’t occur till August of 2009. I was under a lot of stress with recently joining the military and at that point in time, living in the barracks. I had been dealing with a sexual assault, as well as my father getting cancer and being unable to talk to him about it because I wasn’t supposed to know, on top of trying to complete my flying training.

With all this stress pent up and no way to appropriately release it, I felt myself starting to feel as if only one thing would satisfy this anger, depression, and hatred I had developed for life and for myself. I began to deliver bodily harm to myself. I told my mental health doctor about it, and he did his best to find the cause and reasoning, but the solutions he presented to me didn’t seem to …

Night Terrors

I believe it happened sometime in November when the movie Emily Rose was in the Roxy Theater. My boyfriend and my dad and a few other friends came to see the spooky truths of the past. Now, if any of you have seen this movie you know it is down right frightening! I’ve never been the kind of person to get scared of anything. I was literally afraid of nothing. It was during the movie when I felt a cord being struck inside me. I wondered… how could this girl live with such torment all those days? See faces shift before her eyes in broad daylight!? I couldn’t live like that. No way.

When the movie ended and we all got in the cars and left for home. I remember looking at the winter trees in a different way and one specific tree scared the wits out of me. It was an old twisted tree and in that instant Emily …

Am I Being Haunted and Followed?

Hey, my name is Kitti. I am 18 years old. I’d really appreciate it if anyone could help me understand why this has been happening. I feel like I am being haunted. I have felt this way since I was a young child.

When I was born I lived in a flat with both of my parents above my granddads shop. It used to be a Victorian home. The Victorian light switch and bath etc are still in the bottom (down stairs) of my granddads shop. Many people who work there have heard the light switch going on and off at night when nobody is down there. A few of the staff had seen her. When I was a baby, my mum saw her. Recently my cousin, he was 2 or 3 years old. He said please don’t put me to bed, I don’t want the old lady to sit at the end of my bed. I don’t think this …

Extremely Vivid Recurring Dream

My name is Sunny. I am fourteen and I am Wiccan (don’t judge me). In the last three years I haven’t had any dreams except for this dream. Its not exactly a recurring dream more like a journey and each time I have it I travel further each night. I (somehow) know that if I don’t keep walking bad things will happen… the fear pushes me on.

Always its the same place. There’s a desert of black sand, pitch black and its a night sky. There’s no moon but there are stars giving you just enough light to see by. The landscape is featureless and I always walk forward. It’s extremely vivid and I can smell (faintly) the stench of blood. I leave behind a trail of dried blood.

Sometimes things change though. If something really bad happens I pass half rotted corpses and as I walk past them and the blood changes from dry to fresh. Later on it …
