The Green House
I never really put two and two together before reading a few stories on here and other websites, but now, I think my situation is very strange and I would like to share it. To start off with I will give a little bit of family history since without knowing that, this story will be confusing.
When I was very young, both of my parents were abusive towards each other. My Dad got sick of the abuse and left. He moved to Michigan, and my Mom, Sister and myself stayed in Arizona with my Grandma and Grandpa. Before we moved in with my grandparents my Mom became a recluse. Somewhat a recluse I should say, she spent time outside of the house, but when it came to my sister and I, (especially me) she avoided much responsibility.
My Dad wanted to take my sister and I with him but wasn’t sure of the legal rights and my grandpa was a …
Read Complete Story Here...Christoval Texas Ghost
My friends and I have been ghost hunting for awhile now, but we only did all of the hunting in the town of Christoval were we lived. The story I’m about to tell you is from Halloween of 09.
In the beginning there were only three of us who went ghost hunting, but as time went by, we had more people enter into our little group.
It was Halloween night when the three of us decided to go ghost hunting around our old high school,we waited until I was done passing out candy to the little ones. Eventually we told our other friend and she wanted to go with us, so we let her.
When I was done with the candy we took off to my guy friends house so I could park my car, from there we walked to the school. When we got there my other two friends started to record, I took off with my guy friend …
Read Complete Story Here...Personal Experiences with the Supernatural
I’m 15 but all my life I remember knowing that spirits exist. Mostly it would just be feeling like I was being watched or when I was by myself I never really felt like I was truly by myself. Other times it could be seeing something, hearing something or being touched.
The first experience I can clearly remember was when I was three or four I was in bed trying to fall asleep and it must have been late at night because my parents and baby brother were all asleep. I remember my closet door being open and it being too dark to see anything clearly but I was staring at it (I don’t remember why I was staring at the closet) when suddenly I saw eyes come out from behind something and the eyes stared at me then looked up and to the right then disappeared in that direction. I don’t know if its important or not but where …
Read Complete Story Here...Demonic Furby
The Furby toys were very popular in the recent years, until they stopped production in 2007, and I think they should have stopped making them sooner.
Many people say Furbies are evil, demonic, and possessed by some evil force. I believe that many of the “Evil Furby” stories are real based on my own experiences. I know my story is true, you can choose to believe or disbelieve it. But I know what happened.
The Furbies came out, and like any other kid I begged my parents until I got one. I was so happy with it too! It was actually fun! It could talk and eat and sing and dance; it was all I ever wanted in a toy. I loved my Furby – for a few weeks.
My Furby played and did what I wanted it to do for a while, but then it started to get an attitude. When I tried to play with it it said …
Read Complete Story Here...Strange Birthday Party
This happened to me and my friends when we were 12 about 12 years ago. It was in May and my friend had a birthday party slumber party. There were about five of us there. We had a fun day eating pizza and birthday cake and we went downstairs and looked for my friends mother’s Ouija board. It was the afternoon and we had found it right away. Her mother had no problem with us playing with it as she had fun with it when she was younger.
My friend and I had been into paranormal stuff since we were kids. I think I was more into ghosts and such just because my dad would tell us scary ghost stories that had happened to his family just so we would go to bed on school nights. Let me tell you once he offered to tell us one of his stories we had no problem going to bed when we were …
Read Complete Story Here...My Uncles Ghost in Pampanga Philippines
I had an uncle that always visits us when he gets home from the states. Before his death he wanted to give me his necklace that is silver but my mom said no because it was too big for me and she said I just might loose it anyway. But I wanted it. So my mom just said next time. I think I was 12 then.
My uncle always smokes, that is his habit, even in the car the windows are closed the air conditioner is on and he is smoking. I think that is why he died. The last time I saw him was when I was about to go to school I didn’t know that that was the last time I would ever see him.
When I went home in the afternoon I smelled smoke for awhile but then I looked for my mom and my grandma. I asked my cousin where they are she said she doesn’t …
Read Complete Story Here...I seem to Attract Spirits
I seem to attract spirits and have done since I was a little girl. I have seen many ghosts, the first one (that I can remember) being my great grandfather.
I was in bed, on the top bunk of bunkbeds that well, I didn’t really need seeing as I was and still am an only child… but anyway, I woke up one morning and looked through the bars on the side of my bed… and there I saw him, my great grandfather. He was dressed in a pale blue suit with a white shirt and black shoes. He was just smiling at me, the type of smile that says “I am so proud of you” but I was only a little girl and I had never even seen a picture of him, I screamed and hid under my covers. About 3 minutes later I finally got brave enough to lift the edge of my covers up very slowly to see …
Read Complete Story Here...Nine Lives
August 5, 2003. My husband died of a heart attack at a truck stop in Indianapolis, Indiana, approximately 500 from our home in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He was revived through defib, having to be shocked a second time after suffering cardiac arrest again after being put into the ambulance.
The call came to me while I was working. It all seems like a dream. The state of mind one is put in when faced with the fear of losing their partner so unexpectedly is hard to describe. Surreal.
Flying to Indianapolis after having to borrow some money to get there, I had no clue as to what I was about to face. I remember being so devastated and offended when I had to be searched at the airport before boarding the plane after explaining my situation, getting on the plane which would normally cause me to be a nervous wreck, I recall having the thoughts of not caring if the plane …
Read Complete Story Here...Imaginary Friends not Just a Vivid Imagination
I have always been a strange person. Obviously, there has always been a bit of a storyteller in me, for I always have something new to say and always have the best way to present it. I have always believed in spirits. I have always felt them, and at a young age, seen them. (Not just that but still to this day, I’ve heard them.) I’m not as sensitive as some people, but I’m sensitive none the less.
As a little girl, had plenty of imaginary friends. I had one “imaginary friend” who’s name was Sally. Sally was a boy. Sally the Ghost Sword was what I called him (full name being Salvador) and my parents told me that I had often talked to him, sitting in my room. It turns out, that I’d had a conquistador ancestor, now I’m not quite sure if that was him or not, but I know that once we’d moved away I never saw …
Read Complete Story Here...Spirits and Their Forms According to Indians
India is one of the many countries which has a majority of believers. More than half of the Indian mythology as well as the epics tell of the existence of ghosts. However it is also said that ghosts rarely appear in their own form and such spirits are usually tied to some other form of life. The spirits are classified into four groups namely – unhappy or vengeful spirits, spirits of the priests who couldn’t finish what they came for, spirits whose good and bad deeds were level and those who are happy and content. The last of these will not be considered since they only come back in the form of some animal or human. We are going to deal with the other three.
Unhappy or Vengeful Spirits
These are the destructive spirits. Ones who did not get or obtain what they wanted and are determined not to let others have it either.
These spirits are traditionally said to …
Read Complete Story Here...Hauntings at My Grandmothers Old House
OK, let me start by saying my grandmother’s house had been in our family for about 100 years. It was built, I believe, in 1907 by my great-grandmother’s grandparents along with a little summer cottage in the back yard that my parents now live in. There have been at least four deaths in that house, all of which were family (as far as I know).
I’m 22 years old with two children now and that house still freaks me out. When I was a little girl I used to be terrified to go in the basement (as most kids are afraid of scary basements). I would always feel like someone was watching me. I used to have nightmares about being at the bottom of the basement stairs and looking up them and the light would go off and the door would slam shut and I would try running to the top and as soon as I would get the door …
Read Complete Story Here...My Daughters Scary Friend and an Evil Doll
One day my daughter Sarah started crying. So I walked over to her and she was pointing at our counter top. I looked up but saw nothing. She whined and said, “Mom he’s scaring me!”
A couple day later Sarah started moaning in her sleep and would run into my room screaming. I would gently shake her trying to wake her up but most of the time she would point behind me and cry. I started to get worried and I would ask her what she sees. She would say “He’s small and round with queer black eyes.” I would immediately picture a rat or a shrew that I wasn’t seeing but she would complain “No he’s Kyle.”
The next few weeks odd things would happen. Sarah would start to mumble stuff like “No Sarah I just want you to come with me.” or “Sarah but it’s a fun place. You would enjoy it here where no one can hurt …
