Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

The Father I Have Never Seen

This is about my father who had died when I was about a year old. I don’t remember a thing about him. My mom said he was strict, no makeup allowed. My older sisters remember more than me but they wont say anything about him. My father died suddenly when he was working on his car; a big car person. Then from what I was told he had the garage door shut and he was alone. The car’s engine was started and some kind of gas came from it killed him. It was a very hard time on my family. Now I’m older and no one ever talks about him.

Then it started one day when I was about eight or so. It was me and one of my sisters on a usual summer night. I went to the bathroom and when I was opening the door my sister had said ”were you trying to scare me?” I didn’t know …

Scary Story from Bells Garden California

This all happened In Bells Garden California on Luddell Street. I was four years old, and to this day I still remember what happened.

Me and my mom stayed up watching TV in the living room and we fell asleep. I don’t remember what time it was but it was already in the middle of the night when I woke up thirsty, so I woke up my mom to get me a drink of water since the kitchen was straight ahead like four feet away from the living room. I was too scared to go there because I didn’t like the dark.

When I was done drinking my water my mom made me take the cup to the kitchen so I went… and this is the weird thing nobody believes me but the good thing I know only god knows and that’s what matters… so all of a sudden I start seeing a hospital with old people with wheel chairs …

Our Haunted Hell

My husband and I bought our house in 1997. My children were the first to encounter the spirits that resided there.

My twin son’s were terrified to sleep in their room and would scream and cry looking at something my husband and I couldn’t see. Our daughter now had an imaginary friend that she talked excessively too (off and on all day everyday). We would ask her, who are you talking too? She would look over to her imaginary friend and then grow quiet. It was like her friends identity was a secret.

I began hearing noises at night. At first it sounded like someone was walking down the hall. I would get up and check but no one else was up.Then the sound of water running in the kitchen. I’d get up and the water was not on and everyone was still asleep.

My oldest child was the first family member to actually see the spirit. He had fallen …

Paranormally Frustrated Please Help

I’m really frustrated and confused about the things that have been happening in my apartment. Ok so I’ll start off by telling you how it all happened.

I have been living in this apartment ever since I was a baby and I have never experienced anything before. My house is actually a studio so when I moved in they decided to build a little room in the living room so my house could have two bedrooms. The superintendent in my building said that they had to take it down and they took it down in 2006.

A year or two after that is when I started experiencing things, especially when my new bed came in and we made another room. So this room was separated from my living room by big heavy curtains because they didn’t allow walls and doors to be built. So the first night that I had my bed I was listening to music when I started …

Lucid Dreams and the Tall People

I wouldn’t say I am any more psychic than most people, but I have clocked up a number of paranormal experiences in my 43 years so far. This includes one home that was haunted, a couple of haunted workplaces and even, when I was about 14, my dad seeing the “ghost” of ME one night at a time when I was ill (but not at all life-threateningly ill, as you might expect).

But the experiences I’m writing about now are something quite different; I don’t even know what category they would come under: astral travel, altered states of consciousness, aliens, fairies, ghosts/ spirits, inter-dimensional travel or simply a vivid imagination!

The experiences started when I was about 26, and continued for just over a year. (They might even still be going on, only I don’t remember them.) I want to write about them because I’d be interested to know if anyone has experienced similar and/ or can explain them. I …

Paranormal Experience in Southern Hebredies of Scotland

As a child I lived on the Isle of Islay in the Southern Hebredies of Scotland. We left in 2000 but went back for a holiday in 2004, which is when I met my best friend Eila, my sister and her sister had been friends at school. We got extremely close in the week I was there and when I left we kept in close contact. I went for a visit without my parents or family to stay with her family for a week when my paranormal experience began.

Eila’s bedroom was in the attic, and as following tradition, this attic had a dam weird ghost. Eila still to this day knows nothing of this because well in my mind I’m sorry but she has to live there I really shouldn’t scare her. She fell asleep early the first night I got there but I just couldn’t sleep. I felt a breathe on my cheek as though someone was sleeping …

My Past to My Future

When I was a little girl I never really had much fear of the dark, never thought spirits existed. I was just an ordinary girl. I lived in an older type house.

Well one night I was playing with my dollhouse my father got me, it was a stormy night. It was very quiet, with my mother and father watching TV downstairs in the living room. While I was playing, I was getting bored and decided to clean up my toys. As I was putting my dollhouse away, I felt a weird feeling as if I were being watched. I didn’t think much of it, but as I was about to stand up to put my toys away, I felt a presence behind me, and then a feeling of a hand resting upon my shoulder. I went stiff, scared to move at all. The feeling of the hand never once let up. I slowly turned my head to the side, …

Figment of a Childhood Imagination or Ghost?

First, I am skeptical of ‘ghosts’, I write this not believing in any sort of spiritual world, but, things have happened in my past I cannot explain, I hope this site can.

All my life I have had a very overactive imagination, as a child I didn’t really get along with my peers preferring my own company, I had my own friends at home anyway. These friends were imaginary, they would come and go men, women, children, some would come one day and I would never see them again, others stayed.

One girl in particular, Carol. She never talked, I named her this, as I first found her at Christmas time. My parents would encourage me to make friends at school or with girls on my street. I told them I already had friends, they worried, of course they worried, I was eight years old and had never had a friend around to tea, never been to someone’s birthday party. …

Sleep Paralysis or Something Else?

Ok first I want to start by thanking everybody for reading my story. It’s my first time writing on here. But anyways ever since I was a little girl I always had these strange dreams or whatever they are. But there are certain experiences that still bother me till this day.

Once when I was about for years old I was having this horrible dream. In my dream I was laying down on something but my head was hanging down. I remember something was holding me like that. I kept seeing someone dressed in a long black hooded cape and once it was right in front of my face it took the hood off and it’s face was so scary. It had really sharp teeth and yellow eyes. I started screaming and when I woke up my body had been in the same position as in my dream. My body was on the bed but my head was just hanging …

Its Time to Move On

I have always had an interest in the paranormal and although influenced by my mother and older sister, they never pushed anything upon me. I took it upon myself to read books about the subject. I guess you could say our family was open minded.

Our story began when we moved into a house in Dandenong Victoria in 1983. My mother had insomnia and often lay awake reading books late at night. She had her bed shaken on several occasions which alarmed her a bit. My sister 17, had seen on two occasions a figure standing at the end of her bed. She described it as a man wearing what looked like a Dick Tracy outfit with a hat, with a beige look all over. She could not see any features.

We had an old ceramic kettle and the switch was broken (you had to flick it on at the wall). One day my mum was standing in the kitchen …

Evil Attic Bedroom at My Grandparents House

My mom’s parents lived in a house in Haw River, North Carolina that was haunted. My mom grew up in this house and I spent a lot of my childhood in this house as well. I can remember coming in from the school bus and sitting in the living room and hearing footsteps walk upstairs in the attic bedroom. The footsteps would continue walking down the steps leading to the door. I would wait to see if the door would open but it never would open and the footsteps would stop and start back over. I would always run out of the house scared to death and would wait until somebody came home from work.

My grandparents were somewhat very spiritual and read from the bible every night before bed. I on the other hand, am not spiritual at all. A lot of family members have experienced entities in the house. A lot have family members have woken up in …

An Irish Haunting

I remember, the night my life changed. I will never forget the horror. I will never be the same again. I will never be alone, again.

Five years ago, my friends and I where backpacking around Ireland in our gap year before uni. One night we had gone really off track and were completely lost, it was getting dark and we decided we needed to find shelter for the night. We had been walking through a forest for a few hours, it was pitch black and cold, four girls, we were terrified. Then the trees opened up into a small clearing, at the bottom there was a lake and old boathouse. It was falling apart, but it was shelter. We needed shelter.

I was in front, Lucy was scared and kept asking to call for help. But who could we have called? We had no reception. We approached the boatshed, there was no door, so we entered. It was dark …
