Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Submitted to us by Leander

I wasn’t born at the time, and I’m glad I wasn’t!

My mum was staying in a flat in York. All her friends were out and so my mum decided to have an early night and she went to bed.

After only two hours of sleep she was awakened by a big bang. She opened her eyes straight away and her alarm clock was ringing like mad in mid-air. It dropped after about two seconds after she looked at the clock.

Then a shadow appeared and slowly walked to the end of my mum’s bed and stared at her for at least one minute and then moved to the right hand side of my mum. It reached out toward my mum’s cheek and just about that time she screamed at the top of her voice and the ghostly shadow disappeared.

After that day my mum had to have an a emergency move along with her friends. We still don’t know what happened in the past of the flat.
