Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Shadow of the Man He Used to Be

I’m typically a brave person when it comes to the everyday battles. But there’s one war that I just cannot seem to conquer. It’s a factor in my life, that I can no longer ignore, no matter how much I wish to. I have recently faced a truth that has been needed to be brought into check a long time ago.

Looking back, my experiences started when I was only 8 years old. I distinctly remember having a nightmare in which a shadow of a man emerged from the veil over my closet. (Instead of doors, I had a sheer white curtain.) The man came over to my bed, and just stood there staring at me. I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t speak or move. I ended up becoming frightened, so I woke up. I lay there for a moment or two and slowly started to look around my room just to make sure nothing was actually there. …

Strange Black Shadows

This is not the first story I’ve submitted here. It’s been a while but I’d like to share this story with you. Hoping someone can tell me what’s going on.

I have had strange encounters with shadow creatures? I’m not sure what to call them, this happened on and off for a couple of years now. The first time a saw this creature was about 4 years ago. I was sleeping in my bed, having terrible dreams about someone trying to kill me… Something dripped on my face, I wiped it off half asleep still, when it hit me that I’m in my bed and nothing is suppose to be dripping on my face! I was fully awake and the dripping still went on, it was warm on my face and sticky. I finally opened my eyes and to this day I will never forget what I saw! It was a black mist type creature, hovering over me, staring at …

The Wolf Shadow Creature Demon

I was home alone with my friend. We were sitting in the living room one night, waiting for my parents to get back from their dinner out in town. I had two dogs; Jesse, and Coco. Jesse was more so of the bold protector, while Coco was the ‘hello friend!’ type of dog. I noticed that Jesse started acting weird; barking at the steps in our living room. My friend turned to me paranoid. I looked at her; “Relax,” I said, “There’s nothing there. This house makes noises all the time!” I laughed. I didn’t think she bought it. Jesse then started whimpering, and jumping back. Coco had her tail tucked between her legs, and was trying to climb up on the coach. Jesse finally stopped barking, and looked away from the steps.

Later that night I let the dogs out on the deck. Nothing else had really happened, except a few creeks from the house when a gust of …

The Shadow Under the Bed

When I was two my dad was told his job would be taking him from California to England. My mom was so excited, and couldn’t wait for me and my older brother to experience something no one else in our family had. Me being two and my brother five however, dad wasn’t sure we’d get much out of it.

For the first year and a half we’d lived in a small house out in the British country side. However, My dad decided we needed someplace bigger, as I now had a baby brother on the way. He found the House for rent, a huge brick two-story house, to this day the largest house I lived in.

Mom said it was fairly normal when we first moved in. The sounds heard through the house nothing more than the heavy building shifting and settling. Just before my brother was born, however, things she says she couldn’t explain started happening.

It was small …

Christmas Angel

I heard stories of Demons attacks and haunting. This isn’t one of those. This is my one and only experience. Whether this was the real deal or a figment of my imaginations I can’t give you a definite answer. Oh I apologize for any misspelling or grammatical errors.

Well first let me set the back story. My half-sister and I would staying with my Step Dad (my sister’s dad) and his new girlfriend (my mother and step father had been separated for over a year now) every now and then. This particular time a family was staying at their house (A couple with a son about my age, 11 or 12 yrs. old.)They had recently lost their house. The way the house is set up is you have the living room which leads to the den. This was where the family’s son and i was sleeping.

Now, this happen either Christmas Eve or the day after Christmas of 1997. I’m …

My Mothers Demons

Hi all I talk about my mother on here before but now I would like to tell a bit of her story.

Ok my mom was sick for many years having heart attacks and strokes. In one year she had 10 no lie! She was in and out of the hospital a lot. I called her everyday to check on her three or four times a day to the point she was a little tired of me. Well she started to tell me she was feeling things in her home. I asked her what was wrong? So she told me something evil was trying to kill her. So I believed her because I’ve seen with my eyes spirits and demons growing up.

My mother also dealt with santaria in the past. So she said that my big sister just brought her a pretty plant and it was nice and green and healthy. She said the next day she went out …

Shadows and Weird Things

I’ve had a lot of weird things happen in the last 7 months, so I’ll write them in as much detail as possible:

During January, my friend was living at her uncle and aunty’s house after her house was flooded. I went to stay over there because she was home alone and bored. During the day she was at the other end of the house when I had gotten out of the bathroom.

When I got to the hallway I saw a tall shadowy figure walk behind me, I turned around, saw nothing and guessed it was my imagination. Later that night, my friend and I were talking when she told me she saw a tall shadowy figure walk past the bedroom door. I hadn’t even told her about what I saw. I think what ever was in that house, just wanted us to know it was there.

About two days ago, I was walking to the toilet at my …

My Parents Closet a Doorway to the Spirit World

When I was a child, I was taking an afternoon nap in my parent’s bed. As I’m waking up, I see this very tall shadow man with a top hat step out of their closet. He looked as though he was wearing a suit, but he was somewhat transparent and gray in color. As he walked straight out of the closet towards me, it seemed as though he was walking up steps. He kept close to the wall as he walked and didn’t walk straight towards me, but disappeared as he reached me. I remember feeling frozen and scared at what I was seeing and relieved to see him go.

A little background about my parent’s house. It was built in a town that is the site of an ancient Indian burial ground. So when I read the post about the Native American Tall Man, I couldn’t believe the similarity!

As I’m typing this, I’ve got an episode of Paranormal …

Darkness Inside

All of this started with a certain event that happened to me when I was sixteen years old. For awhile my family and I used to live in a really small portable trailer in the mountains of Colorado. On this particular night, everyone had gone to bed besides me. When I finally decided to go to bed, I remember laying there watching my breath reflect out of me into the moon.

I laid awake for awhile until my eye’s finally closed and I passed into “sleep”. Except I was not sleeping, I felt like I was real but not really there in my own world. I was falling down a black pit, for lack of a better word. And I felt like I was falling for hours. Next thing that I remember I fell into what I felt was a icy bottom of water. Except that it wasn’t water. It had the texture of oil. Then came a voice, it …

Dark Shadow and Paralysis

OK, this is the absolute most malevolent occurrence I’ve ever experienced. I have been witness to literally hundreds of paranormal events in my life. No I’m not talking about things being misplaced or I could have sworn I left such and such on that table. Things that fly across the room. Absolutely zero interpretation need be applied. When they are active they make believers real fast out of people who swear the contrary.

Get ready, just the story alone here still creeps me out. And I was there. Keep in mind that the majority of my experiences were basically benevolent. Not this one.

We have a farm in Palestine, Texas. I was sleeping in the bed with my current wife. When all of a sudden I was awakened and I could swear there was someone standing at the foot of the bed. I was groggy and thought my eyes weren’t focusing right but the truth it it was a shadowy …

The Shadow Man Follows Me

A few years ago, I submitted a story called Caroline, Beth, and the Shadow Man. Ever since we had that experience, my life has never been the same.

A few months after I posted the story, I started feeling paranoid. I’d see things out of the corner of my eye. I believe he followed me out of that cemetery. I believe that he’s everywhere I go. This is one of my most recent and most terrifying experience.

About a month ago, my family and I moved into a new house in a different city. As soon as we moved into the house, I felt extremely uncomfortable. I’d never felt comfortable at our old house, but this was on a completely different level of discomfort. Not long after we moved in, my parents decided that they were getting a divorce. My mother has moved out and my father tries to stay gone as long as possible. So, I always find …

Imaginary Friends and Strange Experiences

Hi, my name is Sam. Actually, it’s my initials, but I’d rather go by Sam. I live in Tennessee but I’ve moved more than 10 times all through-out my life. And I believe that I’ve been haunted by something all of my life, but I just don’t know what it is.

It all started out when I was about 4 or 5 years old. My family had to live with my Mom’s parents until our house was fully constructed, which would only take a few months. My mom’s parents lived in Pennsylvania. And I was the only daughter of four children. Since my two older brothers were 9 and 6 years older than me, they didn’t want to play with some little kid, let alone to play with some little girl. And my younger brother was only 2, and I didn’t want to play with some BABY! So, I “created” 2 ‘imaginary’ friends. Honestly, I don’t remember how they came …
