Ghostly Activities in a Gated Community

In 2004, we moved from a small town in the western cape to a massive house in a gated community in Benoni, a gated community is sort of like a security complex but the houses has their own identity and no two houses looked the same, the houses were no older than 20 years, it was a field before being developed apparently.The house was an four bedroomed house, two bedrooms were very small, a master bedroom and a very large guest bedroom.

The first evening we moved we all slept in the guest bedroom as we had not yet had time to unpack the boxes. The first few weeks were very quiet, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, there were few weird happenings but nothing to write home about, misplaced items that type of thing. I took the large guest room as my bedroom much to the anger of my younger brother. He had to take the small bedroom. I …

Something in My Room at Night

The house that I lived in all my life until my parents got divorced in 2008 is a strange place, my father still lives there as he refused to sell the house when my mom left that July. The house was built over a piece of ground called in South Africa a “veldt” loosely translated as field.

Things Started happening in my bedroom when I was around ten (I’m fifteen now), some activity might have taken place before then but I don’t remember. Then one night I woke up to a bright light in my bedroom, there was a person standing inside the light, the person reached out their hand to me and I got up out of bed to walk towards the hand. The closer I moved the smaller the light became until I got close enough to touch the hand.

As our hands met, and I say met because this manifestation felt solid, something passed into my palm. …

Our House Ghost the Drunk

I am 23 years old and live in South Africa. We used to rent a house just outside Pretoria on the Old Warmbath Road. My dad at that time was working in Iraq on a 4 month on/1 month off basis building armoured vehicles, so me, my mom and younger brother was alone for long periods of time. The house we rented was kind of old, still with those old ceilings with the patterns on and wooden floors. Also, we had no nearby neighbours because it was a plot house (that is like a farm, just the size of the property is smaller). So, me and my mom and brother moved in and settled nicely. We all loved the wide open space and the big yard and everything. I had about five dogs and a potbelly pig that was housetrained, she used to sleep in the house with one of my dogs, my dachshund.

After a while, we started noticing …

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 …
