Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Black Shadow Figure Sleep Paralysis

In my mothers side of the family they get premonitions when people die. I can’t remember if anything happened to me before 8, but I do remember that I was always terrified of the dark and being alone. At that time I also participated in a few games of Ouija. (Ouija Board).

We moved to another country and when I was around 12 I started to wake up and then there was a black shadow figure right next to my bed. This happened about 3 times that year and I was only mildly paralyzed and not afraid at that moment. I don’t know why, but I always tried to reach out and touch it, then fell asleep. My mother says she saw it in my bedroom’s doorway once when she went to the bathroom.

It happened a few times more during later years. Just mildly, but at 17 during important exams it happened continually and it was different. I didn’t …

Shadow People and Sleep Paralysis

I’m in my mid 30s. About two years ago I moved in with my girlfriend to a house, right away I felt like if something was following me around. It was a two story home and all the time as I left early to work I would get goose bumps all over my body all the way to the front door.

Also on approximately 10 times I had sleep paralysis, but never thought of anything it was scary at times but I would pray in my mind and it would go away rather quickly.

On one day as I was leaving to work as I was going down the stairs I didn’t felt that presence following me. I felt so relieved, but as I was about to open the door the goose bumps flared up from head to toes and as I opened the door I noticed a dark human figure looking right into the trunk of my car. We …

Encounters with the Hat Man

When I was in foster care in 2007, I was sleeping like a normal child would early in the morning, but for some very odd reason, I woke up. When I opened my eyes, I looked up and that’s when I saw a dark figure standing next to my bed, it freaked me out so much, I threw the covers over my head to cover this up, I stayed that way for two minutes, when I felt it was safe, I took it off and it was gone.

Something that was scarier that same moment, when it disappeared, I looked next to me and I swore I saw my little sister lying right next to me, smiling, I repeated the cover again, when I took it off, she was gone as well. After those two mini-events happened, I turned over facing the wall and fell asleep again.

The second encounter was my third day back home. I was in the …

Shadow People or Demonic Spirits?

Well I am 14-years of age and, I have encountered many paranormal beings. I grew up with a preacher as a father for the most part my father always had bad luck in life no matter what he did. I began to lose faith in Jesus… I met some of my friends family members and they were into Wicca, Nocturnal Magick, Witchcraft etc. They got me VERY interested into the Wicca side of things.

When I started studying and practicing Wicca VERY weird things began to happen to me. I started getting very moody and very angry at everyone. I would fall into a deep depression and soon I began cutting my self. I would see things and objects in my room and around me would appear in places that I would not put or leave them in. I began to have dreams of evil beings telling me random information about people in my life. I finally decided that the …

Camp Livingston Haunted Me

I’ve always seen spirits of some sort. I’ve always had powers. But I guess I never really understood myself until I met my ex-bestie, Sarah Thomas. She was Wiccan.

I was at the point in my life where I knew I wasn’t Christian, but I didn’t exactly know what I was. I believe in what I can’t see and I embrace the unknown rather than deny it. My experience, or happening, happened last year around I guess the end of spring. This takes place in central Louisiana.

Camp Livingston was many things to me, and it was 5 minutes down the road from my house. I was going to school for my G.E.D. and after school me and Sarah would go to Alexandria for Books-A-Million and Hot Topic. Well, one day I told her about Camp Livingston and she wanted to go because she, too, had heard stories about things that happened there.

Well before I go too far into …

A Ghostly Stranger Resides with Her

I was a health care attendant and my job was to care for an elderly lady who lived many miles from me. She would sit in her chair in the afternoon and snooze. I would sit nearby and from where I was, I could see down her hallway and into her end bedroom and out the window in her room.

One day as she was sleeping in her chair, I was reading when something caught my eye. It was movement, and when I turned to get a better look, there was a tall dark man in a top hat and cape coming down the hall towards us. I could see through him out her bedroom window though, as he was a dark figure and apparently not solid.

As he came toward us, he wasn’t moving normally like a person does when they walk, instead he was gliding along like he was on something moving. Since I am a Christian and …

Human Like Figure in My Closet

I never thought that I would be writing such a strange story. I moved from South Carolina to Texas two months ago and I live way out in the country in the hills. It freaks me out to live way out here because the closest town is eleven miles away!  Now let me tell you my story; it takes place at night (how ironic). I was doing laundry; you know washing, drying, folding clothes and putting them into the drawers, and closets.

As I walked into my room I heard a large thump noise come from my closet (my closet is the first thing I past when I enter my room) so I thought well maybe some thing fell off of the top shelf in my closet. So then I opened the door to see what fell and I realized that nothing had fallen off the top self because I had not put anything on the top self. I know …

My Demon Visitor

This was about two summers ago. So in 2007, it was summer time and we had a big thunderstorm. I was at my Grandmas house and we chose to all go out on the porch to watch the storm. The porch was covered so we didn’t have to worry about the rain. Everyone wanted to go inside but my mom and I really wanted to stay and watch so we did so. My Mom was cold and asked me to go grab her a blanket so I did so.

When I came back I handed her the blanket and sat down. She was unfolding the blanket and covering herself while I looked out into the distance. I saw some type of shadow walking, it looked human but my grandmas property was all fenced off. Lightening struck and I saw the shadows face. It had a blood red face with yellow sharp gagged teeth and black scratches all over its face. …

Shadow Man and Sleep Paralysis

Hello my name is Crystal, I’m your average 18 year old that doesn’t have a care in the world. Everything that has happened to me started when I was about five.

My parents divorced when I was three, so my dad and brother raised me. My dad and I slept in the same bed because I was just five and scared to sleep by myself. Well I suddenly awoke and the room as always was dark. I remember looking at the closet door and a small shadow figure was standing there. I could make out the outline, it was about the size of a three year old and had a cone shape hat. I remember it was putting things into a bag and it looked up and stared at me. I got really scared and started crying and woke my dad up. I told him I wanted to go to my aunt Nelly’s house (she’s really religious). He turned on …

Encounter with the Shadowman

I was all of four years old when I saw him the first time. I was staying over at my grandparents. It was the middle of the night and I had gotten up to go to the bathroom. As I came down the wooden staircase I held on to the railing with the front door before me. As I descended, I thought I had seen someone outside through the small window on the front door.

I had to know if he was really there. I hit the landing, ran, ducked and impaled myself to the door. Slowly I stretched upward tiptoe until I could see outside through the little diamond shaped window. There he was, blacker than night standing on the sidewalk in front of the house. I could tell he was a man, wearing a raincoat and hat but void of features and standing very still facing the doorway. He watched me watching him.

My heart pounded in my …

Shadow Person and Haunting in South Africa

Since I was five years old I have had an obsession with anything supernatural, not like aliens but anything that has anything to do with spirits, demons, angels, anything. I am relatively religious, and I do believe God watches over me.

For most of my life, I have always felt that I have had something with me, I have never felt alone. But it has never been good feelings. When I moved in to the house I live in now, (I live in South Africa) I experienced many things in this house. When we first moved in, about three days later, I was unpacked and feeling anxious about living in this house; if only I knew why at the time.

I went to bed that night, I cant remember the exact time, but I was woken up by a noise, as if somebody was in a hurry to get somewhere and they had jerked my mothers bedroom door open and …

Shadow Figure Attacking While Sleeping

I just recently turned 29 however when I was 15 I was attacked by a shadow figure while sleeping.  I remember it like it was last night. I just read somebody else’s article about a similar attack and still have chills on the back of my head. Here is what happened to me that night;

I was sleeping upstairs in my parents house sometime in November or December and often slept with the window opened because it was always hot in my room. I heard voices, more like whispers, coming from outside my window. I woke up thinking it was some of my friends wanting me to sneak out. I soon realized that it wasn’t quite human voices talking to me. It almost sounded like voices do when you talk in a fan and there were faces, several of them, but I could only see their heads out of the corner of my eyes. When I tried to look at …
