Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Is it For Real?

First off, I wanted to tell you about the “hauntings” I think I’ve experienced. I’m not sure what it is, but I can’t seem to think of any other explanations.

Well, back in my old house, I think I was about 12 or 13 years old, I often stayed up late, I was in that period when I thought it was really smart and cool. So, I watched TV, sitting on an office chair with wheels really near the TV. I didn’t have my lenses on, so I had to stay close to it. When I went to bed, I turned off the lights and forgot to put the chair back to it’s original place, so it was standing in the middle of the room.

My bedroom was wall-to-wall with our living room, so I could hear people walking in the stairs, people walking around in the bedroom and so on. At 3 am or something, half an hours after …

Mary and My Haunted Childhood

It started when I was the age of 5. We had moved into this new house and I wasn’t at all happy. I could remember me going into strops, screaming during the early hours of the morning of not wanting to leave all my early childhood friends. But the decision was made. We left during late December, a busy time of the year. And after moving in, I began to like the house. It wasn’t like the old one, it was bigger. It wasn’t posh but it was much nicer and cozy. I still live in this house and haven’t yet finished my childhood and nor has the paranormal activity.

But after about two months of living in our new home, or so my mother tells me, I began talking to my Imaginary Friend. I used to call her Mary. But often, my brother Darren would catch me saying Bloody Mary, and he’d bolt in the room and tell me …

I Need To Know What Happened

I’m a 17 year old girl. Last night, I couldn’t sleep well. Right before the strange activity took place, I checked the clock on my phone. It was 3:14 am. I looked back over to the only source of light in my room, the faint light coming through my window, when I saw movement from the corner of my eye. I sleep with my door closed, so it wasn’t any of my family members or pets, because I never heard the door open. I figured that it was just my eyes playing tricks on me, and tried to focus on getting in a comfortable position to sleep in. I only had the sheet to cover with because it was hot in my room, as always. I have a standing fan that I use to blow cool air on my face at the end of my bed that always stays pointed in the same direction. I tucked myself into the sheets …

Can People be Connected by a Dream?

I have read and heard many different stories in which someone was made aware of an event, which they could not have known about otherwise, in a dream or a vision.

We hear about distant friends and relatives as well as those closer to us who somehow send us messages through our dreams. Is it really possible for us to communicate with each other on some metaphysical level which we pick up in our dreams?

Here is an experience that was posted by “CHILD LIKE” and asked specifically of “Kind Skeptic”. I thought it was a very thought provoking experience that a lot of readers would be interested in so I present it here:

Two weeks ago I had a dream of my ex-boss Henry. He was at the hospital and I walked in his room. He was laying on the bed (of course) with his leg up and I knew one of his toes was cut off because …

Paranormal Experiences in the Twin Cities

There are several instances of unexplained phenomena I’ve witnessed in my life. I’ll just touch on a few… not discussing possible causes, just describing what happened.

Woodbury, Minnesota – Early 1990′s

I was in junior high and staying over at a friend’s house for the night. After the usual pizza and movies, we went to bed in his room with me on the floor. Some time in the wee hours I awoke and intended to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water, but I didn’t make it that far. The bedroom hallway opened up to a large, open area of the house which included the entryway, stairs to the basement, and the living room, with the kitchen on the other side of the entryway. As I stepped into the entryway, in the light filtering in from the front door sidelight windows I saw a white-clad old woman rummaging in the top shelf of the coat closet and …

One Weird Day

My experience with the paranormal dates back as far as I can remember. When I was younger, I would simply tell people that they’re house was haunted and sure enough they would begin to tell their stories. I could feel whatever it was, good or bad I knew it was there if it was. I was never afraid of these vibes, except in one situation.

During the summers I would baby-sit my uncle (yes he is younger than me) at my grandmother’s house. I always got the feeling that something was there, but I never could figure out how that could be because this wasn’t an “old” house, in fact my grandmother has recently gotten it built. I never thought that it could have been the land until I got older.

Anyways, one day I went over to my grandmother’s house as usual. It was always only me and him there. I would fix him breakfast, and just look out …

The Shadowy Lady

It started when I was 5 and I remember clearly. I was sitting on the floor playing with my baby born. I was upstairs alone. We used to have bunk beds then. So while I was playing somehow my doll sing a long Suzie flew off my bunk bed onto the other side of the room.

After that the next few years I had nightmares every night if I didn’t face the wall. Since then I have seen shadowy demon things every night. When I was little I called it The Lady so the name has kind of stayed. It’s hard to describe what it looks like. It’s pretty much a semi circle with a helmet shaped head. It’s completely black and it wriggles around to walk because it doesn’t have legs. The ‘queen lady’ lives outside of my folks rooms and when I used to sleep with them if I had nightmares I would watch the ‘queen lady’. It’s …

Am I Crazy or a White Witch?

Ever since I could remember I have had this feeling of being watched. It wasn’t until my Mam had went to a psychic that I started seeing things.

The psychic was very specific with me. She knew my age, my name she knew I was dyslexic without my mam telling her any information. What freaked me out about the psychic was she told my mam I was this “White Witch.” I tried to Google this but nothing came up to explain to me what it was. Anyway I asked my mam what a “White Witch” was according to the psychic my mam said to me I was like this glowing light that spirits are attracted to and that I am in a fit of power to the dead.

I decided to go more into it and ask my family members if they have ever encountered spirits. My Godmother had said she sees spirits all the time and it started when …

Child from the Graveyard

It was early January when I was on a college trip with my fellow classmates. We were on a hunt to follow George Washington’s life. Our first stop was Williamsburg. It was a small little town with a lot to explore. We all broke off in groups of 4 which were me Kelly Molly and Regina. We decided to look at the old political building and we lost interest very quickly so we decided to wander around in the town. Later that night we were to go on a ghost tour so we decided to get a look of the town to see the difference at night.

We went to a old church ground. We walked in and we saw that there was a little grave yard near it. I am very fascinated in history, so I walked over with Regina and suddenly we felt shivers go up our spines and we ran back to the others. Note that it …

Almost Demonized in Colorado

I moved to the house I now live in Colorado when I was four, ever since that age I’ve been having dreams of a man like a shadow and a woman with a blackish brown dress. I never really listened to what my dreams were telling me.

When I became eleven my sister left to Mexico so I had to sleep by myself because we shared rooms. At first I thought it would be cool til it came to be midnight, I turned off the light and turned to my left. Then suddenly I felt someone climbing up on my bed. You could hear the sound of the bed going down. I was so freaked out that I turned to my right quickly nothing was there. I turned on the lights everything was okay. I turned off the lights again but I was just looking at the ceiling trying to sleep when suddenly I felt something trying to climb on …

When I Was Growing Up in Greensboro

I lived in Greensboro, North Carolina and I still live here. But when I was born my parents had a house it was old not sure how old I don’t know much about it. I’m 16 and I remember the lay out of the house and few memories more of the scary ones at that. I remember the lady coming up to my mom holding my dogs tags and crying and I didn’t understand what happen but my dog died and it seemed like after that it all went crazy for me.

When I was growing up I had a angel it was my grandmothers sister she was there when I was born and few days later killed by a shotgun blast but I never seen her disfigured or anything she always sat in the rocking chair in the afternoons before I went to bed and she would laugh at me and smile. She scared me because I didn’t know …

Strange Dream and Something Pulling Me Down

The experience wasn’t very long but the memory was burned into my mind. It was around 1:00 am and I was dreaming of myself lying down and it was pitch black around me. I felt like I was watching myself through someone else’s perspective. My head was moving side to side with a slight uneasiness feeling, then I felt like I was thrown back into my body. My heart felt like it was hollowed out and I wasn’t alive anymore but it only lasted for an instant then; I fell down hitting the ground, it was cold and hard under my skin.

I opened my eyes quickly without moving my body and darted my eyes around without moving my head. I was so scared I didn’t dare to move. I just clutched my hand tighter into fists and shut my eye’s tightly. Then I felt like I was being lifted back onto my bed by what felt like air.

After …
