Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Igor the Prankster Ghost

When I was 19, I was the manager of a restaurant in a small town on the Wisconsin shores of the Mississippi. While the restaurant itself was fairly new, the building was really old. I lived in the apartment above the restaurant and worked open-close every day.

The apartment looked as if it had last been renovated in the 1960′s. Aside from a few new appliances installed by the owner, the shag carpet and lime-green walls with mushrooms painted on them had a retro, spunky feel that was only found in small-town Wisconsin.

Initially, it was just small things that I barely noticed. My alarm would sporadically go off in the middle of the day, even though I never used an alarm. The doors of my entertainment center would be open when I went upstairs during my break, even though I never had time to watch the TV inside those doors. Lighters would appear on my vanity in the bathroom, …

Human Like Figure in My Closet

I never thought that I would be writing such a strange story. I moved from South Carolina to Texas two months ago and I live way out in the country in the hills. It freaks me out to live way out here because the closest town is eleven miles away!  Now let me tell you my story; it takes place at night (how ironic). I was doing laundry; you know washing, drying, folding clothes and putting them into the drawers, and closets.

As I walked into my room I heard a large thump noise come from my closet (my closet is the first thing I past when I enter my room) so I thought well maybe some thing fell off of the top shelf in my closet. So then I opened the door to see what fell and I realized that nothing had fallen off the top self because I had not put anything on the top self. I know …

The Traveling Ghost

I live in an apartment with my two boys and my husband. We lived here (still do) for three years. About two years and a half ago it started. At first it was only small things nothing to be scared of.

It would move chairs in the kitchen while we all were asleep. If we didn’t wash the dishes that night it would move them around (as if saying wash me), if we did wash them but left them out to dry overnight (it would play with them as saying OK there dry put it up). We never thought of anything about it (it’s an apartment maybe we are hearing the next door since the walls are so thin).

As time went by it did more things. I was at work and my husband was sitting in the living room with his back facing the kitchen. Our oldest son was outside playing and the baby was asleep. (My husband thought …

Fighting a Demon For my Soul

This story takes place when I was 11 or 12 years old, it’s hard to be certain; I am 20 years old now. I am not very religious and if you knew me in person, you would know me as a rational, intelligent person. That being said, here we go.

I was enjoying a normal dream, I can’t remember what I was dreaming of but at some point my subconscious abruptly shifted into a nightmare. I remember that was strange, I can usually tell when I will have a nightmare as I can feel a fear growing inside and pretty much know it’s my own unrest and anxiety that provokes the nightmare itself. This time was different.

In my dream I took on a first person view of my surroundings, I was standing on concrete, cracks and potholes littering its surface. Around me a sea of black threatened to engulf the island of concrete I was standing on.

My view …

Hauntings in Henrieville Utah

It was a nearly 12 years ago, I was only ten years old at the time. When we had first moved in with my grandma in Henrieville, Utah. My mom and dad had just went through a tough divorce so my mom wanted to get as far away from my dad as possible. Henrieville is one of the smallest towns you will ever find so when my grandparents told us there was finally a house available My mom quickly took it. My older sister quickly made friends with a girl at school named Megan who lived in the next town up (one of three small towns that all went to school together). Megan introduced me to her little sister Geni and quickly she became my new best friend.

It wasn’t long before my mom found a night job and suddenly thought we needed a baby sitter, not wanting to leave the burden of us on my Grandma. Me and my …

Friends Witchcraft and Ouija Boards

A couple years ago I became friends with this girl who moved to our town, her name was Tory. We became like best friends hung out everyday and stuff like that. Then one day she told me she had to tell me a secret so I was obviously all for it. She told me she could see dead people. Well, that was a shocker. I wasn’t sure if I should believe it or not because that’s pretty extreme, but she was my best friend and I took her word for it.

There was a group I always hung out with, Ray, Tory, Kautea, Sara, and Molly. We believed everything Tory said because she didn’t have a reason to lie. We practically became a cult. We started doing witchcraft and all this crazy stuff. (By the way I was only in grade 6 and I was gullible). I started doing it all the time, I did whatever I wanted. Ray showed …

We Decided not to use a Ouija Board

This site convinced my friends and me not to use a Ouija board. My friends and I were thinking about using the Ouija board, because there is something in my house. I am 15 years old and I usually sleep in the basement, since its winter it is cold down there and I sleep in the living room. I have a small dog ,he is a shih-tzu his name is Crash, he never barks unless he wants to play or go out and its always a playful bark.

On January 5th or so, I was reading, TV off, and he would just jump up and start to growl and bark. When he did this he would look sometimes at his crate, towards the dining room, and the couch. We do have a cat but she sleeps at the foot of the bed. After he would stop barking he would keep growling defensively. Then I would get the chills. We have …

Haunted Darwin Australia

Having recently had my experiences displayed on this web site and having encouraged my friends (who have been reading my stories for years ) to log on and see for themselves, word of mouth soon meant people have started coming to me with their ghost stories! A current theme was, at least they knew I wouldn’t think they were crazy!

My daughter’s boyfriend is 16 and like my kids, also an ‘army brat’ who has lived in various military homes all over Australia. Davis (his name changed to protect his identity) told me that when they had their first posting to Darwin when he was small, they were in an ordinary suburban house where a transparent Asian man would appear in the doorway of the bathroom. As he was young, the bathroom door was left open while he bathed and he is adamant the Asian man would appear spontaneously in the same place every time. Depending on if you were …

Babysitting and The Opening Garage Door

My sister-in-laws father is dying of cancer. He came to visit in October but his visit wasn’t pleasant because he spent half of it in the hospital. He was in great pain plus my sister in law has two little girls ages two and four. Basically she didn’t get much alone time with her father and when she did, he was in pain because he drove from Oregon to Phoenix, Arizona. Anyway I felt bad for her because he really does look as though the end is near.

After he left I offered to take some of my vacation time after the new year to stay at her house and help with the kids with her husband (my husbands brother who I get along with great) while she flew up to Oregon and spent a week with her father without children to take care of and so could see her in the comfort of his own home. I offered to …

Visits in the Quiet Dark

Hi, I’m 15 and firstly I’d just like you to know that I’ve always been open-minded about this sort of thing. At first it was just one of those ‘I want to believe’ sort of things but now I have the proof that I’ve longed for, for so long.

So let me begin, about four years ago we moved house, I thought the new place was great (I still do) but I never thought it was creepy or that anyone other than our family lived there. To start with, I got those feelings, do you know what I mean? When your sure someone’s there but you can just never quite catch a glimpse of them. Anyway, this went on for about a year or so then I heard the voices for the first time. I came out of my room into the hallway, it was the middle of the day so I never would have expected to hear what I …

The Psychic Vampire

Let’s do this the AA way, shall we?

Hi, I’m Scarlet, and I’m a psi-vampire. Also called a Psy-Vampire, also called a Psychic vampire. I truly hope you know what this is, but if you don’t (or you want to know more), you’ve come to the right place. Although I’ve only known formally what I am for a few years, I’ve gathered up enough information to inform you.

A psi-vampire is a type of vampire (No, really?) that feeds mostly on prana, or life force. We are said to be born with an energy leak in our astral form. Sort of like a leaky faucet. So, to maintain our own life force, we drain others of theirs. Most of us go through life having NO IDEA we are doing this. If a person is exposed to an out of control drainer for an extended period of time, they can become physically ill. Just as the vampire can if they go …

Ouija Board Demons

Hi my name is Aaron. I live in Nashville Tennessee. I’m 24 years old, and I want to tell you about the Ouija board. First thing is you should never play with it not knowing what its about and what it can do, its not a game at all trust me I know.

The first time I played with one I was 16. I played alone in my room with the lights off. I had a black light on so I wouldn’t be as scared but later on that wasn’t going to help me. I started playing with it and didn’t know much about it at the time I just knew all it did was you could talk to spirits and stuff. So I was told to play with it around 3 am the mocking of when Christ died. One of my friends said that’s when you know what your playing is not a game.

I started asking “is there …
