Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

The Family Beach-side House

When I was 9, we moved to a beach-side neighborhood that was old, and ghost experiences there were almost like a dime a dozen. Some of my family had experiences that later convinced them our house was haunted. The house we moved into had a creepy feeling of being watched at night. It had a dark basement and our dog never voluntarily went there, where my older brother and older sister had their own rooms.

First some strange things that happened:

My big sister was woken up from a nap by someone knocking on the bedroom door. She called out to come in, but nothing happened. She was home all alone.

I was having a sleepover in my brother’s room after he moved out, and woke up in the middle of a restless sleep to the door knocking with passion. (This was kind of like a crappy door made of wood with a latch that jangled from looseness whenever you …

Haunted Home In Danby Vermont

I am writing this as solid proof of paranormal activity in Danby, Vermont. I know it’s not Wallingford, Vermont. However this one location is very close to this town. I have to keep the location undisclosed due to client preservation.

This is a very old and large house on Rt 7 in Danby. A dear close relative of my fiancé, who was born and raised in Danby Vermont, told the group of this happening. She told us this:

Her grandfather who was very religious and never believed in paranormal activity ever… went to this house to do an electrical job for the owner of the house. He was working there in a room upstairs on an outlet when he noticed something from the corner of his eye. He looked again and saw a man hanging from the ceiling of that very same room above him. The figure was solid and he thought someone had just hung himself as he was …

Help Please with Strange Presence

I’ve lived in Tasmania all my life I am 22 years old. I moved to Richmond whilst I was pregnant nearly 3 years ago. The home we rented was beautiful sand stone home merely 5 minutes from the old grave yard and old geol. Richmond is known to be incredibly old and apparently 95 percent of places are haunted there including the pub.

On with my story I WAS a total non believer in the paranormal etc. The first few nights we stayed at our new home was fine a little eerie but nothing to serious, then after at least 3 weeks little thing I noticed kind of creeped me out, for example, I put the brush on my dresser near my bedroom door one day and went out for lunch with a friend, when I came back it was on the floor. I didn’t take much notice thinking it might have just slipped off. My hair straightener would turn …

Mary Kitchens Road

Here is another Pensacola area story. Sorry, Jim… Again! Garcon Point! A little history needs to be told. I never saw any thing “but”… I heard this, for lack of a better word, noise, screech, I don’t know.

I have heard two different versions of this story.

One: Mary Kitchens was brutally murdered on a road on south Garcon Pt. Another she was killed in a car crash. I do not know which is true… sorry!

This happened three times when I was by myself, I would hear a screeching woman! It sounded like someone being tortured. I would be standing on my girlfriends front steps smoking a cigarette and hear this God awful shrieking!

At first I thought, coyotes, peacocks. I didn’t know what was making that noise! I was friendly with my girlfriends neighbors, so I asked around about the “screeching”. They looked at me like I was crazy so I dropped it.

One weekend her brother was …

Trouble with Shadow People

Towards the end of last summer me and my best friend were walking home from our friend’s house. He only lives about a block from my house so I am allowed to walk there and back at any time. We just turned off his street and on to mine when we got this uneasy feeling. I knew something was wrong and so did she. It felt as if someone was following and watching us as we took every step. There was no street lights for a 30′ radius but the  moon was bright and we could see no one was there. But we could feel them around us, and then we saw shadows dart from one side of the street to the other. I am a strong believer in the paranormal and such, and she was some what into it. It takes a lot to scare me usually and all the hair on the back of my neck were up …

Black Eyes

I have had various encounters with the paranormal throughout my life, but recently I had something unusual happen that I don’t understand.

On a recent Sunday morning, my husband and I stopped by our local pet mega-store for something for the cat in our lives. As we were getting back into our car to leave, I noticed an older woman who was getting into the car that was facing our car. As I glanced in her direction, I was shocked to discover that where her eyes should have been, there were two pitch black holes. The holes were bigger than her actual eyes would have been, they were more like sideways ovals that extended from the top of where her eyes should have started to about the middle of her cheeks.

I thought I must be seeing things, so I looked back at her. The black holes had gotten smaller and were disappearing into her actual eyes, so at first …

My First Apparition Who is She?

I’ve always had an interest in the paranormal, but I’m also the type of person who needs proof that ghosts are real and quite honestly I still don’t know despite my little encounter. Could it all be in my head? Were my eyes playing tricks on me? Those are the questions I ask myself every time I think about it.

Anyway, a few months ago, I began to wake up suddenly in the middle of the night to always see this bright light passing over me. I’d wake up and look around and go right back to sleep, not worrying about what it could be. For a while, this bright light was something that just slipped my mind. Perhaps I was dreaming?

Then one day, I’d just gotten home from work and I was relaxed, sitting on my bed when I noticed my cat was acting stranger than usual… staring up at the ceiling and meowing loudly, rolling and jumping …

A Different Kind of Ghost?

This is the true story of my dad’s experience of a very different kind of ghost.

I am sure that there are different types of ghost; going from the accounts of people’s experiences, there seem to be ghosts of people, animals and inanimate objects which appear to be just shadows or reflections of something or someone who was once there. There is normally no apparent reason for them to appear. Perhaps they are something like a mirage? Or “time-slip”? (I am thinking of the famous case of the Edwardian ladies who found themselves spectators in the 18th-century for a time during a visit to the palace of Versailles.) There are also similar phantoms from the past, but this time with perhaps a reason for their appearance, such as strong emotions or a tragedy. They are often said to appear on the anniversary of a particular event but, like the other sort, do not appear to have any kind of awareness …

Dauphin Island Haunting

Dauphin Island Specters – The Haunting of Dauphin Island

Early French explorers originally dubbed it Massacre Island for the mounds of sun-bleached bones that they found there. What they didn’t realize was that they had disturbed a sacred Native American burial ground that is rumored to be watched over by supernatural specters at night.

Since that “spirited” beginning, the whispers and shadowy folklore surrounding Dauphin Island, Alabama and its resident apparitions have grown and continue to this day.

According to the Islanders, the ghosts at the prehistoric Indian Shell Mound Park are to be respected. Filled with cottonmouth water moccasins that lurk in the shadows of giant, ominous live oaks and a thick canopy of Spanish moss and foliage, the Shell Mound is creepy by day. But after dark it can be down right terrifying. Legend says that late at night you can hear Indian maidens singing to the beat of tribal drums and haunting flutes as they dance around …

Its in my House and Will Not Leave

I had a pretty normal day at school that day. I did what I normally do. But I had taken one of my friends pills to see if I could get messed up.

Nothing really happened during the day. It was fairly normal. But I had started to get really sleepy. Okay lets fast forward to night time.

I stay at my aunts house. My uncle had died in that house in 2005. I have always had the feeling that he was still there. And my friends have too. Every time I brought someone over to the house they felt as if someone were watching them. I have always felt that way too.

Well that night I had taken that pill (it was adoral) I had a weird feeling that someone was watching me. Now, I sleep in the basement room. Away from everyone in the house and there are no windows in the room. So its really dark at …

My Mothers Return

My mother was murdered by a neighbor on May 30 1999. It was a devastating blow to our family as she was a single mother of four girls including myself. We ranged in age from 21 to 14. I have to start by saying it was like all the color and light had been sucked out of our lives that year.

As many people feel when they have lost someone close to them, it left a huge crater with many unanswered questions. One thought ran through my head every day. “what happened to you Mom and why?” I was not letting go easily and neither were my sisters. I was always saying I need to know and if there is anyway you could let me know, please do so through my dreams. This is so it wouldn’t frighten me. Finally I woke up in tears.

My mother did visit me and explained what happened. She brought me back to our …

Tim and Terrifying Events of My Childhood

When I was 4 years old my family moved to a house in south Carolina. I had at that time 2 older brothers and a younger brother and sister. My oldest brother and I shared a room. The first couple of nights were fine. But after the first week I was in my room with my brother trying to sleep and I heard knocking sounds on the closet door. The door would then open and a human figure would come out this THING had a HUGE smile not human like. I would pray to God for guidance the entity would sometimes go away and sometimes the face would turn into a scary monster. That experience happened quite often.

Also in the middle of the night as I woke up about every night at 2:55 am and I would get this gut feeling of dread and all of a sudden a face would appear at the foot of the top bunk. …
