Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Fishers Ghost Festival in Liverpool Sydney

My mother’s haunted house is in Liverpool, Sydney, Australia. The next suburb over, called Ingleburn (and also home to Ingleburn Army base) is home to a very old Australian ghost story that goes back to convict days.

In convict days, Liverpool and Ingleburn were rural outposts of Sydney. On the evening of June 17, 1826 a Mr. Fred Fisher was at the local pub drinking with friends, but after leaving the pub Mr. Fisher disappeared without a trace. Mr. Fisher was a ‘ticket of leave man’, which means he was a paroled convict but just the same, he had managed to accrue some land, a horse and a small shack of a house. The local constabulary made enquiries but it was very difficult to prove anything without a body.

One of Mr. Fisher’s drinking partners that evening, George Worrell was adamant that Mr. Fisher had skipped town and gone back to England, with Mr. Fisher having conveniently given him power …

Possession and the Spirit of the Coin

Third year High School – ASC – Laguna States Polytechnic College, Siniloan Laguna Philippines 1996.

I am very fond of ghost stories and everything about paranormal. Each day I am searching for new stories to read and pictures to see. Although I am scary cat, I love the chills, and I am not new with it.

I’ve learned how to play the Spirit of the Coin (Ouija) in high school. A cousin taught me how to do it and I shared the knowledge with my friends. At first it was entertaining, we thought that someone is only joking with the coin. We played it in my school every day, and it was cool because stories said that our school was haunted. They said that it was a graveyard for the Japanese Soldiers who colonized us 100 years ago. Some said it was a battle ground and many people died. Over the years ghosts were seen on different corners of the …

Motorway Ghost Story from Pakistan

Dear readers first of all I thank all of you for taking keen interest in my first story now I will tell you the second  story.

Once I was traveling on motorway coming from the ancient historical city of Lahore to the just 200 year old city of Rawalpindi. As we reached Chakri service area near Rawalpindi I went down to the tuck shop. The  driver gave a lift to a man in plain clothes up to Rawalpindi. In fact I was not in favour of giving lifts because who knows that the person you are giving a lift may turn up to be your killer and robber but can’t do anything as the man was seated in the car when I came back.

He told us that he was in the motorway police so after a bit of introduction I asked him, “have you ever had  any ghostly experiences on motorway?” He told that yes once when his duty …

Now living in a run down ‘army house’ in tropical Darwin, Australia with my teenage son and daughter while my husband was deployed, my son had finally revealed his experiences with the male presence we named “Kevin”. I had sensed Kevin since moving in March 09, my husband had seen Kevin once in July, my daughter just constantly complained of feeling ‘spooked’ but my son appeared to take the brunt of Kevin’s presence.

My son would describe leaving his bedroom of a night to go to the toilet and seeing Kevin standing at the verandah door just looking in. My son complained of the ‘constantly being watched’ sensation and that there had been times he believed Kevin had been in his room. Overall, an overwhelming feeling of anger and that ‘everyone hated him’ seemed to suddenly overcome my usual easy going son… but only …

Witchcraft Ouija and Our Friend Ashley

About a year ago, my friend and I got into witchcraft. We, at that point, started “messing” around with an Ouija board. We would use it when we had questions and nothing too weird seemed to happen besides the planchet moving. The first weird thing was that once we said goodbye, there was a feeling of a presence in the room. It wasn’t to strange and once the following morning, we thought nothing of it and it didn’t stop us from “playing”.

The next eerie experience was when one night, my friend and I introduced the Ouija Board to another friend that was close to us. We where sitting around and asking the usual girly questions. Something didn’t feel too right and the board kept trying to poses one of us. We didn’t stop playing and just said goodbye when it started getting weird, rest for a little and chat, then said hello again. Prier to this, I had been …

Haunting in El Paso Texas

This happened like three years ago. I was a sophomore in high school, a cheerleader and I thought my life was perfect and just happy people in it. I never really believed in any paranormal stuff. I thought of it as an alien, won’t believe it till I see one.

My parents were planning to move to another country, I didn’t want to move at all but then I had to. The day came for us to leave California to move to El Paso, Texas. We got to Texas and saw the house, it was big and it looked normal. Right when I stepped out the car I felt uneasy to breath and started to feel dizzy, “Are you okay Audrey?” My sister Alina asked, “Yeah, just tired.” I was the last one to get in the house it was like someone was telling me “DON’T GO IN THERE!” But then it was getting dark and getting colder, so I …

Growing up Haunted in Sydney Part 21

My family and I have often had present the human members of our family after they have passed and our animal companions have been no different.

Bandit was a cattle dog / corgi cross – tan with a black eye patch of fur across his face (hence the name Bandit) that my Dad bought when I was three. The only conscious memory I have of my Dad, is the back of his head as he drove the car home the day we bought Bandit.

Bandit was the only constant in my life until he died when I was 18 and in my last year of High School. In his day, not even 6′ wooden fences could stop him escaping with his strong cattle dog shoulders, he’d just jump and power climb the vertical wooden wall until one day an encounter with a bus during …

A Bad Dream or Something Else?

I’ve never been close to my mother’s side of the family, except for her brothers and sister. This story is about my favorite uncle.

My uncle and I were very close for as long as I could remember. It was creepy sometimes because I was just a child and we would sometimes finish each other’s sentences and somehow know what we were thinking a lot.

When I was 11 years old, I had a horrible dream that he died. I’m not going to get into detail because its kinda gross. But all I can say is that my dream scared the toosh out of me. And three days later, my mom told me that he had passed away. I started asking questions about how he died and how they found him. I was in complete shock and had chills when she described it. It was the exact way I saw him in my dream to a T! So of course …

Ronnie Hung Himself Then Came to me in a Dream

Ronnie leaned by the two story apartment building. Ronnie had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth with the ashes falling and hitting the pavement. His black hair was blowing in the warm summer wind. He had on blue jeans with a green military coat. Dan was a tall lanky man with blue eyes that almost penetrated your soul when he spoke to you. I could see Ronnie’s blue Chevy parked near the apartment building. But I thought it was strange Ronnie would drive and hour and a half from Wisconsin just to see Dan.

Dan, “Ronnie doesn’t get off of work for another hour.” I took the apartment keys out of my purse and opened the entry door to allow Ronnie to walk into the upper level apartment. “Come on in Ronnie, you can wait for Dan in our apartment.” I secretly had a small crush on Ronnie but I could not tell him because I was living with …

Now I’ve lived in a few homes all around Australia and all has been quiet in relation to paranormal activity in comparison to what went on in my mother’s house growing up. Until we moved into our current army house in Darwin, Australia. DHA (Defense Housing Australia) have a code that they dispose of any homes that have had a suicide in them – given the nature of serving members this sadly does have a higher incidence than the general population.

I’d arrived in Darwin in 2006 to get married before my husband was deployed the first time. My husband had not left for weeks for the second time when I got the news we had to move to another house suddenly. Why they couldn’t have done all this BEFORE he left is anyone’s guess! My girlfriend and I did the rounds of Darwin, …

Vivid Half Waking Dream Encounters

I am afraid to find Laura

I am forty seven years old and I have spent most of my life as a fisherman and hunter on the lonely mountains where I live. The story I am going to relate to you is true in every aspect. I have spent literally thousands of nights out alone and never, not for one second, did I ever even think for a second that I saw something that was not of this world or, could not be explained, nothing.

I’ve always been a vivid dreamer and I know there is an actual term for this but I have long forgotten it :it’s when you experience what is in effect a “waking” or more correct “half waking dream.” These are very common and can be quite a fascinating experience for they are almost reality and the dreamer can actively take part in and influence the proceedings. Then of course you’re up and what has gone …

Growing up Haunted in Sydney Part 19 My First Ghost Hunt

Have you read the previous parts of this story? Growing up Haunted in Sydney Part 1

As an adult now and a parent of children myself, I have remained very open minded about the paranormal and have always been very supportive of my children and their experiences.

I have been able to determine I have shut down a lot of my abilities due to a fairly negative reception when I was younger, but suspect I could have been a medium/ psychic if I had developed my powers in a supportive atmosphere. That hasn’t stopped my ‘spidey sense’ reminding me its there on occasion!

My daughter spent most of her formative years with her father (a skeptic) while my son lived with me from age 12. My son appears the more sensitive of the two, but they do both experience entities – just in different ways.

I avoided the paranormal on purpose for many years between 20 and 30. I did …
