Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Witchcraft and Shamanism in Laos

It’s interesting when you’re gathering with your families and starting to talk about their histories, lives, and etc. My mom and my aunts always have things to talk about their childhood life back in Laos (next to Vietnam and Thailand). There are times my mom she’s in a ghostly mood, she’ll tell my husband and me about her childhood ghostly life and how she put up with her chaotic life. I recall when I was 11 years old or maybe older, I asked my mom how did she became a Christian and why we go to church? She gave me this really long story, it begins…

As you read they lived in a village with no electricity or no toilet, sink, and etc. It sounds like they were in the 1600s but actually this happened in 1956 – 1970 during my mom’s childhood.

My mom said her dad (my grandfather) was a huge fan of becoming a shaman (spiritual leader …

Ghost Bill and My Fathers Secret

It all started in the late 1980′s when my family learned a secret that my dad had been hiding.

It was a little after midnight and my parents were in bed asleep, and I was asleep as well in my room.  Suddenly I felt enormous pressure around my neck, and I slowly felt myself losing consciousness. This lasted only a couple of seconds but it had felt like an eternity. When the pressure was released I started to scream, my mom and dad ran in asking what had happened. I expressed to them the only way I could explain it was that I was being choked. I was struggling at this point to catch my breath.

The look on my dads face was unforgettable, his mouthed dropped and he exited the bedroom. My mother quickly followed and asked him numerous times what was wrong. He sat on the edge of the bed and told her I think it’s time that …

Shadow Man and Sleep Paralysis

Hello my name is Crystal, I’m your average 18 year old that doesn’t have a care in the world. Everything that has happened to me started when I was about five.

My parents divorced when I was three, so my dad and brother raised me. My dad and I slept in the same bed because I was just five and scared to sleep by myself. Well I suddenly awoke and the room as always was dark. I remember looking at the closet door and a small shadow figure was standing there. I could make out the outline, it was about the size of a three year old and had a cone shape hat. I remember it was putting things into a bag and it looked up and stared at me. I got really scared and started crying and woke my dad up. I told him I wanted to go to my aunt Nelly’s house (she’s really religious). He turned on …

Trying to Contact the Dead

I am the sort of person that doesn’t just believe everything I hear. I have to actually see or witness something for it to be real for me. Example:  spirits, ghosts etc.

One of my best mates was an extremely high believer of the after life. Every time I would stay over at her house she would always say, “I want to contact the spirit that’s in my house.” I asked her what on earth was she talking about. She went on about how late at night when everyone would be asleep and all the lights were out she would hear slow moving footsteps walking past her door and the creaking of her hallway floors whilst hearing a sound of an old lady humming. It was funny as all the times I had stayed there I never heard a peep. She said that was because I was never listening and that I was always asleep as was the rest of …

Graveyard Ghosts in Namibia Africa

This happened in a town where I was living with my parents when I was 19, its in Africa, the country Namibia.

Well me and my friends wanted to play a joke on two of our friends which were girls, so we decided to take them to the graveyard in the night time. It was in the month of October, so we all got together and headed out. The graveyard was about one kilometer out of town in the desert. It was abandoned because of ‘safety reasons’ which we never found out. It was a dark and misty night, when we got near the graveyard wind started to pick up which was strange because this time of night wind does not pick up until 5:00 pm and never in my nine years in this town did the wind came up this early. The time was 23:50 when we got to the graveyard, then the wind dropped and everything started to …

Haunted Cottage in Wales

My family usually visits Wales every year. Recently we have visited a cottage in Wales. We have been there two times now. The first time it was nice and cozy. I didn’t realize anything happening, however my family said that the keys had moved. The next night we did an experiment placing them in a specific place pointing towards the stairs. The next morning they had moved. That was the only spooky that happened… on our first visit.

On the first morning of our second visit we looked around, I found a book saying the cottage was 500 years old. This visit to the cottage was terrible. The doors closed an inch as the house was a bit slanted. It took force to close them completely. My family members said that they kept closing. I waited outside the door and it closed. I opened it immediately. And my family members were nowhere near the door!

The next morning I was …

Encounter with the Shadowman

I was all of four years old when I saw him the first time. I was staying over at my grandparents. It was the middle of the night and I had gotten up to go to the bathroom. As I came down the wooden staircase I held on to the railing with the front door before me. As I descended, I thought I had seen someone outside through the small window on the front door.

I had to know if he was really there. I hit the landing, ran, ducked and impaled myself to the door. Slowly I stretched upward tiptoe until I could see outside through the little diamond shaped window. There he was, blacker than night standing on the sidewalk in front of the house. I could tell he was a man, wearing a raincoat and hat but void of features and standing very still facing the doorway. He watched me watching him.

My heart pounded in my …

Spirits in My Peterborough Ontario House

I Live in Peterborough, Ontario and I have been living here for 12 years now (I’m fourteen now, I was two when I moved here.) The first day I moved here I had a feeling that we weren’t the only “people” in the house. It felt like everywhere I went I was being followed and watched.

It hadn’t been a week since I moved in and I had my first experience with one of the spirits in my house. It was late August in 1997 and we had people over to celebrate my grandpa’s and brother’s birthday. When I decided I wanted to go outside. I had been outside for ever playing with my friend Allison. I knew right away she wasn’t imaginary because you can’t see your imaginary friends. Allison asked if I wanted to play tag and of course being a kid I said yes. I don’t about this part but my grandma told me of it.  My …

Guardian Angel Dad

My Dad passed away in May of 2001 of a massive heart attack in his home with my Mother in the next room. It was quick and fast with no time for a goodbye. I have always believed in an afterlife and had discussed this with my father prior to his passing as he was afraid of what was to come.

I believe that our body is the vessel in which our soul or spirit resides. When we die our soul leaves the body and crosses over to the other side, another dimension. I still took it very hard as I have always been very close to both my parents.

That night at my folks home I went out and looked at the beautiful stars in the sky remembering what my dad always told his three grandchildren, “When I am gone from you I will never really be gone I will be the soft stars that shine at night and …

Strange Creature on German Shore

I’ve seen some odd photos in my time but this one is just mind-blowing to say the least!

I didn’t take the picture, my cousin Phill’s father-in-law took it of his wife. They were in Germany a few years ago and were sightseeing. When they got back and had the photos developed they noticed this eerie crouching anomaly in the background, kneeling down! As you can imagine they were shocked to the core.

No one knows if it is a ghost or an alien. What they do know is that there was no one around at the time, the area was quiet and deserted.

I have no idea what to do with this info, I wandered if you’d be interested.

Note from the CareTaker: This image has been altered by me only to block out the face to keep the person in the photograph anonymous. I did this at the request of Colin who was kind enough to send this …

Ghost in North Yorkshire?

Hi. I’ve always had an avid interest in UFOs, ghosts and all paranormal. This is the first photograph I’ve ever taken that has completely overwhelmed me! I was speechless to say the least.

Me and my ex-girlfriend had recently returned from a great trip in northern England, mainly the desolate, remote and frankly quite eerie North Yorkshire moors. I had my new digital camera and took literally hundreds of pictures of the beautiful panoramic landscapes. Now, I often capture many ‘orbs’ but this photo is simply fantastic.

We noticed nothing at the time the picture was taken, however upon arriving back home in the Midlands around a week later I was scanning photos on my PC when my girlfriend suddenly grabbed my hand and said ‘STOP!’ She insisted I zoom in to the centre left of one particular picture, (SD 10306) which I’d taken of the rather stunning snow covered fields. (The date on the alien/ghost picture is 19.01.2009, time …

Shadow Person and Haunting in South Africa

Since I was five years old I have had an obsession with anything supernatural, not like aliens but anything that has anything to do with spirits, demons, angels, anything. I am relatively religious, and I do believe God watches over me.

For most of my life, I have always felt that I have had something with me, I have never felt alone. But it has never been good feelings. When I moved in to the house I live in now, (I live in South Africa) I experienced many things in this house. When we first moved in, about three days later, I was unpacked and feeling anxious about living in this house; if only I knew why at the time.

I went to bed that night, I cant remember the exact time, but I was woken up by a noise, as if somebody was in a hurry to get somewhere and they had jerked my mothers bedroom door open and …
