Mysterious Unknown Crackling Noise
Hi everyone, I wanted to share with you another one of my experiences.
When my husband and I first arrived in Japan (in one of my previous stories, I had mentioned that my husband was serving in the Navy and we were stationed overseas in Japan), we had to stay in the Navy Lodge while waiting to find a place to live. During the day, while my husband was at work and before I found a job, I would hang out with the other military wives who, too, had just arrived in Japan as well and who were also staying at the Navy Lodge with their families waiting for housing and such. Several of the wives had been there for a month or so and shared with me about the strange goings on at the Navy Lodge, in a paranormal sort of way. They would tell me how some of the ladies who worked in housekeeping would be in a …
Read Complete Story Here...Paralysis Experiences While Awake
I am now 33 years old. This experience has happened to me twice in my life, once at the age of 15, and just again two years ago. I can’t explain why or what it was? Both experiences were a little different, as I will tell you my last happening.
I had a new baby at home, he awoke for a feeding around midnight. I got up to fed, burp, and changed him, then put him back in his bassinet behind my head, as I had the tendency to sleep on the couch. I laid back down, closed my eyes.
Within a moment it was like I was paralyzed and couldn’t move. I know I was still very much awake, as I could hear the furnace click on off and the fridge running, as well as I could here my baby breathing behind me as he slept. Then all of a sudden, there was a large dog, possibly wolf sitting …
Read Complete Story Here...Bout with Evil Spirits
About three years ago my father in law bought a house for my husband, my self and our three children. It was an older beautiful house, it was built in 1918 and had many original parts. Shortly after moving in and getting to know our neighbors we learned that the man that lived there before had fallen off a ladder and broke his neck and died on the property. Since I am very interested in paranormal activity I started doing research on the family that when strange things started happening. It started out with little things like lights, TVs, washer, going on and off, doors opening and closing, footsteps when home alone, little things like for the first couple of weeks.
When my husband started working 3rd shift is when things started getting crazy. I would see what I thought was an old man looking in the window but when I checked there was never anybody there. I would her …
Read Complete Story Here...ZoZo Tried to Kill Us
My friends nicknamed me ZoZo about three years ago when I was in 6th grade. Then I thought it was a cool name. Now I think it’s horrible.
See, I didn’t do Ouija when I was 11. I did witch craft, Hoodoo, and Voodoo, but not a Ouija board. My friends told me about it last year, so I thought, why not! I loved it, I got many names. But then one came up. “What’s your name?” Z-O-Z-O. Our jaws dropped! I exclaimed how my nickname was ZoZo and I thought it was really cool.
He seemed like a cool guy at first, but then he got mean and started cussing out my friend Ema, and something got thrown at Ema’s mom and our other friend Daliah. I took over the eye and told him to stop! That we didn’t do anything to him so stop being a jerk! Then he went to Goodbye. We decided to stop for the …
Read Complete Story Here...The Ghost Footprint
My name is Brittany I am currently 13 years old. But the story I’m about to tell you took place when I was 11 turning 12. I must tell you that everything I am about to tell you is true.
It was a dark night and my mom and her friends were over visiting. Me and my brother Kade were sitting on the couch bored out of our minds. “Who wants to go to the vampire graveyard?” my mother suggested. I didn’t want to go, I hated that place. Vampire graveyard was a nickname for the graveyard. It didn’t have vampires at all but there was something strange about that place.
Vampire graveyard was located in the woods so we had to drive down a gravel road that wasn’t even named, it lead to a dead end. My mother drove us all to the graveyard. As soon as we arrived my mom and her friends got out of the car. …
Read Complete Story Here...My Dead Aunt Sarah
When I was a kid, around 3 – 8 I didn’t like ghost movies because I was strongly into the spirit world. I’m 13 now, and I still am connected to the dead. When I about 6 I remember I lived in an apartment with my mom. My dad left cause my mom abused him. My mom never stayed home with me. She was on drugs horribly bad. (Thank goodness she’s not anymore). So when I was home alone I would cry wishing I had someone.
I’d play with a small doll I had. She had a black tutu on with white trimmings on the skirt part. She had blonde hair that I dyed red, and I ripped her dress up. I once got so angry I ripped her head off and tossed it out the window. That night I was sleeping and I was awoken by giggling and dolls were getting thrown at me and all over my room. …
Read Complete Story Here...Tracing the Origins of Vampirism
To trace back to the origins of vampirism we must travel back in time to an era that pre-dates Christianity by over a thousand years. Druids are said to have believed that two of their major Gods of the Harvest were banished into the flames of the sun and destroyed, later to return as vampires.
From this point in time onwards any would be researcher must persist in a journey through an impenetrable fog of fantasy, fiction, folk lore and myths if he or she is to find anything that even resembles a satisfactory answer, let alone a plausible conclusion to this centuries old mystery. This article does little more than scratch the surface; many more generations of intrepid investigators need to sift out the facts from the fiction.
The purpose of my article is not to foolishly claim I have any answers that warrant credulity in any sense, but to present some of the documented theories into the open …
Read Complete Story Here...The White Lady of Livermore Maine
The White Lady of Livermore, Maine/ Miss Florence Agnes Nelson lives again!
My grandparents house, on my dad’s side of the family, has been known to be haunted for at least nearly two decades. My cousins, now almost 18, used to talk about “The White Lady” in the rocking chair. I want to tell you a few brief true stories about my grandparents house. The first one, is one of my favorites.
When my cousin’s were around the toddler age, they used to tell my grandmother that they could see a woman they called the “White Lady.” One day, when my grandmother was babysitting them at her house, one of my cousin walked up the stairs to the second floor, starred down at my grandmother at the bottom of the stairs, and yelled “Bupa!” (Bupa is my grandfather. He was at work at the time. I will explain more in a moment.)
My grandmother was confused by my cousin’s statement, …
Read Complete Story Here...Old Lady at my Bedroom Door
Well I think it’s about time that I finally found a website like this, I’ve been dying to tell my story to other people all around the world and perhaps seek for help. This is 100% true and I would swear my life on everything I write here.
This happened like 6 years ago, in our old ancestral house here in the Philippines. I was usually up late for watching movies and cartoons, as a 16-year-old kid, I was never really a believer of things like ghosts or spirits but this experience changed everything and it started a whirlwind of events that made my heart pound everytime I encounter them.
I cant remember what day it happened but it was one of those nights I slept early, at around 2 am I suddenly woke up by the sound of my bedroom door opening. I would usually get angry when someone enters my room but this time I was paralyzed by …
Read Complete Story Here...On a Blue Moon
It was a summer night on a blue moon (the second full moon in a month, happens every two to three years. It is said that a blue moon has more power then a regular full moon.)
I was told by a Babalao (an African priest I see) that I should make an offering to Ochun (the goddess of the river) as she takes care of me. Because he knows there aren’t a lot of rivers in LA he sent me to the ocean as all rivers end in the ocean.
I planned it all out, and invited one of my best friend, who is a Christian but has an open mind. I told her to shower before we went and to wear white. We both did that. We planned to drive to Arizona that weekend to have a personal reading with the Babalao, so we drove from LA to San Diego. Stopped on a beach near there.
As we …

Hi, I love this site almost addicted to it. I would like to share a dream/encounter that I had when I was still in school (standard 7,1997). This was the year I met my husband.

Back to the story… Having my own bedroom I had to lock my mom’s bedroom door for our dog (Simba) not to go in there with out supervision( mail dogs have the tendency to mark every thing they think is there property if you know what I mean) I locked moms bedroom door (from the outside and left the key in the door as …
