Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Dark Hooded Figure the Unexplained

I have always been into Halloween and the paranormal even as a young child. I remember when I first started seeing signs of a possible paranormal encounter when I was about 7 or 8 years old. My youngest sister would have conversations with someone I couldn’t see. It looked like she was literally talking to the walls. I didn’t understand… and when my mother and I would try to snap her out of this conversation she would not listen, she would simply keep talking.

At the time I didn’t think anything of it. I thought maybe she was at the age where she had created an imaginary friend or something. When I asked her about it she said she had no idea what we were talking about. This continued for at least a year, then it seemed to decrease and slowly stop.

About a year later my friend had spent the night with me at my house. She slept on …

Ghosts and the Shadow Man I Have Seen

Me and my mom were shopping at Target. By the time we were done it was nighttime. I usually look out my widow in the car so I can see what we pass. Well my mom was turning the corner to get to the street and I saw a girl covered in wet grass like stuff. We were right by a ditch with the stuff that the girl had on her. She looked about five and it looked like she had long black hair. That was not the first time I had seen something like that.

Before the little girl I saw a shadow man. I used to ride the bus and I was in third grade. We went through this neighborhood and I was looking out the window on the right side. I saw this shadow which was a little taller than the mailbox. I kept looking at him and did not blink. When we got to the house …

Shadow Creatures and the Tuurnagait in the Woods

As a 77 year old man, I have lived an extraordinary life and have seen many things, but none of things that ever happened to me was as terrifying or horrific as when I spent my first summer as a 14 year old boy in the pacific northwest on a camping trip. The memory of that time still terrorizes me to this day when I think of it. I want to share my story with all of you.

It was 1946, just one year after WW 2. My father moved the family (my mother, younger sister and me) from Chicago to Washington State. My father was offered and accepted a job in the logging industry, and after the war, we all packed up everything we owned and headed out on the road together. As I recall it took us about a week. I was excited and nervous about the move we were making. Little did I know at that time …

Sleep Paralysis, Stress, or Something Else?

Before I start, I just want to say first that if you have any comments or anything that might help me deal with this, please don’t hold back. I’ve been dealing with this for as far as I can remember, and when it happens, I can’t sleep for a few day after because I’m so freaked out!

The first “encounter” that I can remember having with this was back when I was maybe 11 or 12. I decided I was going to take a nap before going out to eat with my parents. I left my light on and my radio on and I was drifting off to sleep, when I heard my radio get louder. But it didn’t sound like the radio… it sounded like evil talking and evil laughter. I tried to get up, but I felt paralyzed. Then I felt like I was being suffocated. I was definitely awake but I couldn’t move. I couldn’t open my …

Recurring Dreams Of The Shadow Man

I have had a recurring dream my entire life involving the dark man. I may sound crazy, but something about this dream is different than any other dream I have. I’m starting to think there’s something to it and I’d like to know if it strikes a chord with anyone else.

I live out in the country surrounded by woods, so at night it is dark and quiet. I’ve lived there for 26 years. The only light is the street light in the driveway. All of my life I’ve had an inexplicable fear of the back corner of our property. Something down there scares the crap out of me. Anyway, in my dream, it’s nighttime and I am in the driveway under the street light. I’m alone and it’s completely quiet except for the frogs and crickets. At first there is no wind and it is muggy and hot. But then, from the back of the property comes a howl …

Shadow In The Old Farm House

When I was eight years old, I could remember a night when we moved into an old farm house. I had to share a room with my little brother Dana, but I was kinda excited cause I could have some attention, but I don’t think I will like this attention that you think of that I am about to describe.

Well my mom was in this kitchen cooking supper, and my Pap was getting the farm tractor ready for the next morning. As I was lying there reading a book for school I noticed the door crept open very slowly. Because I was so little I was curious and kept on staring at the door for somebody to walk into the room, but nobody did. At that moment I could feel a cold breeze come in, then I happened to look at the windows and they were shut. So I thought maybe my brother was doing this, but I looked …

Very Close Encounters With Solid Black “Things”

Early Summer of ’76 near Cincinnati, OH. I was about 19 years old at the time. I was working the closing shift at a fast food place a couple of miles from home. I finished my shift at about 2:00 AM. As usual I started walking home to get in a little exercise before the evening was completely gone. It must have been about 2:15 or 2:20 AM when I reached home.

My mother was a very light sleeper, so I had to be extra quiet when arriving at home.  All the lights were out and everyone in the house was already asleep.  I should note here that there was a large “picture” window adjacent to the front door in the living room, and another equally large “picture” window in the dining room that perfectly lined up with the first window.  Moonlight was usually sufficient to guide me through that part of the house.  Please note that the dining room …

The Shadow In My Room?

This is actually my mom’s story. I thought I’d share it with you anyway because I found it extremely cool as a young child (I’m now 15).

When she was little her parent had split up and her father moved out into a house on the other side of the city. She spent Friday nights there. When she was about 10 she saw a ghost.

One night she couldn’t sleep and got the feeling that someone was watching her but looking around she saw nothing. She sat up and pulled her legs to her chest; she put her head on her knees and fell asleep.

Later into the night she awoke and looked up seeing a shadow at the end of her bed. It wasn’t a person, it was strange. She described it as a ‘dementia from Harry Potter’. She started crying as it got closer. She then screamed and the shadow moved behind her door and her dad came …

Haunting In Springfield Gardens

It was summer of 1996 my parents decided to rent out the basement for extra income to a young couple with a teenage son, lets call him Matt. One day my brother and I were playing in the yard. Matt invited us into their apartment basement to play games. After we got approval from our parents, we went.  While walking in, I noticed that there was a small altar with different saints, pictures, candles and statues tucked away in a very small room in which I did not remember seeing before. It had no door, it was covered with a sheer curtain and that’s why I was able to see it. However, I paid no mind to it.

After an hour or so of playing video games, he came to us with an Ouija board.  My brother and I knew exactly what the board was capable of doing after hearing so many stories on it, so we refused to play.  …

Evil Shadow Entity Attack During Sleep

In late 2007 I had a life changing experience with an evil shadow entity. I was living in an apartment at the time. I had been living in this apartment for less than a year and I always felt uneasy there. I remember lights would flicker for no reason and pets would always be “watching” something I could not see. I never really thought much of it though.

One thing I noticed is that almost as soon as I moved there I would always wake up not being able to move. I wouldn’t even be able to open my eyes but I would hear strange sounds like buzzing or strange voices. I would always dismiss it as dreaming, but it bothered me because it would happen about three or four nights a week. I then started reading about sleep paralysis but my cases are strange because after I have an episode I always feel emotionally and physically “drained.”

One night …

Shadow Man In Oxfordshire Farm Cottage

I lived in a small two bedroom old farm cottage in a small village called Byfield, just outside Banbury in Oxfordshire, England. It was well over 100 years old and would have previously been inhabited by those working for a large local farm.

When I moved in it had been modernized and the original staircase had been removed and a spiral one put in its place.  The rooms were very small and dark as you would expect from such a small cottage. I can’t say I had ever felt uneasy whilst I was there, there was a nice cozy feel to the cottage.  You would enter the living room directly from the front door and there was a very large cozy fireplace.

I had a small dog for company and we would often sit curled up on the sofa in front of the fire.  One early evening though my dog jumped up to his feet and all the hair on …

My Daughter And I Saw Black Shadow

I work from home and sometimes I am here by myself and I have been hearing things in other rooms. My yard is all chain linked and from my door to the fence is always locked and I have the back open so we can get in and out during the day.

Well Just ten minutes ago I was sitting watching TV and from where I was sitting I can see my front door, its not a solid door it has glass on to were I can see out. Well anyways I was sitting there and I saw a big black shadow  go past my door like if it was walking through my yard. I thought it was someone that was fixing to knock at the door but it didn’t and it went around the corner of the house. I got up quick and went to the back door to see who it was and there was nothing or no …
