Living on Hermitage Road
To start this story off, we moved into this house when I was in Fifth grade, my youngest brother was four or so and my oldest brother was turning twelve at the time. I loved the house, it was nice and my Step Dad’s daughter just moved out so we got a deal on it. Weird stuff started happening a few weeks after I moved on, when I would go downstairs (my oldest brother’s room) I would get chills and felt like I would see shadows even though I knew I was probably creeping myself out.
Maybe a Month later, my little brother started saying he had a friend who lived under his bed, his “friends” name was Oscar and he was a little boy his age and that the little boy said his parents killed him, and my mother blew it off and so did I, because lot’s of kid’s have imaginary friends, but we didn’t know how he …

Her house was built into a circle. starting with the living room then the hall to the family room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. which lead to the master bedroom which lead to the kitchen and back into the living room.

My husband and I moved into this place three years ago. We both were having trouble sleeping… bad dreams… then one day we were sitting outside (about three months in the place) and talked about our dreams. They were the same. The rat would crawl up our legs and on our backs while we slept… then when we would try to get it it would disappear. So after our talk we stayed awake.
About four or five days later we caught it and brought it outside. Then two days later the inside of our windows… all in the basement were covered completely with the biggest flies ever. We bought fly strips. They just disappeared a few days later NO flies on the strips and no dead flies… just gone.
I kept feeling funny odd stuff in the basement so I started buying white Wiccan books and proceeded to do the spells to rid a house of bad energy. I also …
Read Complete Story Here...Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
(A song by Black Sabbath)
It was the summer of 1974; I was going into my sophomore year in High School. I was in the high school band up in the mountains at Band Camp. A very good friend of mine had brought his stereo system up with him and we had it set up in our dorm room.
So while everyone else was out enjoying the free time, I was just enjoying this great stereo alone in that room. Though I had brought a number of my own albums along, this was an occasion to check out some that I did not own that my friend had brought.
I remember listening to The Who, “Who’s Next”. And then I wanted to hear this one by Black Sabbath, called “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” that I had never heard before.
When I first looked at the cover art I was immediately struck by the obvious evil nature of this album. As if …
Read Complete Story Here...The Floating Old Man
It was Easter, about 11pm-ish. I had my friend George staying for the night at my house. To be perfectly honest, I have always had a feeling there was something abnormal in my house. I have often felt uneasy and had the feeling of not being alone especially when on the landing area, also in my bathroom, there has been many cases of flickering lights, even after my mothers brother who owns an electrical company has fixed them twice.
Anyway, me and George were sitting on my bed, about to watch a few psychological horror films. We had the light out, the lava lamp was on, giving the room a faint red glow. As usual, there was about 5 coats hung on the back of my door on a hook. I’m surprised it wasn’t broke considering the weight and thickness of the winter coats. George had pointed out how the coats and dressing-gown on the door had took a slight …

Looks like I’m here to tell you guys a different story that had also happened to me.
This event took place way before my friends and I ever went ghost hunting and when my fiancé and I didn’t live together yet.
I believe it was during spring break when my fiancé had come down for the week, well we thought that one of the nights was nice out, so we both agreed we would go walking that night seeing as the moon was full and lit the ground up so we didn’t have to use a flash light, well I went back inside to get my arm warmers seeing as I can get cold easily. When I was done we soon took off to the road. My family and I at the time lived in the country 3 miles outside of Christoval Texas in the neighborhood of Oaks Mountain Estates. So we didn’t have to worry about cars driving by, …
Read Complete Story Here...The Stanley Colorado Trip
So my birthday was coming up and it was spring break for me. My mom wanted to go to somewhere warm and beachy, but I disagreed and we ended up going to Estes Park, Colorado, in the heart of the rocky mountains. I have wanted to be a ghost hunter for a while, and I watch all of the paranormal shows, and I heard of The Stanley Hotel, and I pleaded to go there, future career right?
So there are so many stories and tales at the Stanley, and it was amazing. When we got there I gasped in pure awe, it was the most beautiful place I have ever been! It looked kind of run-down outside, but inside was fully furnished and everything was working as if it were a new and improved hotel of 2010. We took the ghost tour, and I learned a ton, and I’m truly thankful for that. Guess what! If you have ever visited …

This is a true encounter of a man during my younger age. As far as I can remember my age at the time is between 8 or 9 years old. My mother owned a small convenience store and I was outside playing. It was about 5 pm or 6 pm, there are few drops of rain but can’t even make me wet. Just a few drops of it. I have 3 brothers and 3 sisters and they were all inside our house watching television. I don’t know what comes my mind why I go out of the house and play alone just in-front of our convenience store. My mother asked me to come back inside the house and told me to instead watched television together with my brothers and sisters.
I told my mother I don’t want to go inside because I am waiting for my father. My father is very loving to his children. Everyday after work and before …

When I was 11, I used to go ghost hunting with my friend behind a sports centre (with sound proof walls)after Drama. We did it regularly after she heard laughter of children when she was the only person there. I went there with her, and we listened intently for voices, laughter or perhaps a cold wind. The first time I was extremely scared, but we saw more. I heard a creaking door and children laughing. I heard the whistle of something. I ran and I took one last glance and saw a silhouette of a man with only half an arm and with crutches gliding towards us. Luckily it was near a main road, so I felt safer after that.
The next time I saw a little less, perhaps because I was less scared. But we heard different things – the voice of a mother saying, “Come in now, its nearly time for blackouts!” After I heard that I had …
Read Complete Story Here...Experiencing the Paranormal Since Childhood
I am living with people who have experienced a lot but don’t believe me!
I have experienced the paranormal since I was a child. I grew up in a tenant house in Rochester, New York that had a watcher that would pace the floor upstairs every night, I lived in many houses with friendly entities but never have I lived with rage like I live with here. What I am about to share is what I have lived with since 2000. I have learned to deal with it the best I can.
In 2000 I bought 13 acres of land, huge very old barns and a pond. The property was a heavy equipment repair business in the early 1900s, then the depot for the town road equipment (“town barns”) and lastly a pallet factory. When my son worked here in 1991 he used to come in an hour early every day to charge the forklifts because the batteries were always …

Growing up in a Pagan home, ghosts and such were never new to me. I’ve seen them my entire life. It starts when I was six. My mother had an image of god and Jesus, where she got it or who gave it to her I don’t know. Anyway I saw demonic faces in the picture all the time, finally I told my mother and she removed it and that was that.
When I was seven we moved two houses down and things were great for awhile then weird things started happening. When I was 14 my friend swore up and down she saw a dark figure behind me in my hallway with a knife raised to my back. It spooked me so, I would walk with my back to the wall.
Anyone who came over would see red glowing eyes peeking out of my bedroom and then my door would slam shut, after awhile most of my friends refused …
