Read Complete Story Here...My Haunted Pet
Here is my first and only haunting activity I’ve ever experienced during my life. It was just one of the many experiences that my dad, being a very devout catholic, has had during his whole life.
About 10 years ago, when I was 10 years old and we were still living back in El Salvador, my siblings and I used to have a small parrot. We had it for like a year or two and his name was a Hispanic nickname…Pepito. Every night we would usually put him in a small cage in which he’d perfectly fit, then cover the cage with a small towel, and he would sleep outside in a small 7-feet by 7-feet backyard along with other doves we used to own.
Then one night, we did the usual, we put Pepito in the cage, placed him outside in the backyard, covered it with a small towel, then we all went to bed. This was at around …

A Visitation for the Dogs and a Precious First Granddaughter
I had a story about dog and ghost too that recently has just crossed my mind. It is not my own experience. It’s my mother and grandmother from my father’s side that experienced it.
My grandfather from my father’s side loved dogs and had quite a lot of dogs throughout his life. Almost all his relatives love dogs. There was one unusual thing that happened around his death. One of his dogs was suddenly upset as if it knew that my grandfather had just died and it let out a long, long sad howl. It loved my grandfather a lot and it felt so lonely and sad that it kept waiting next to the gate of my grandfather’s house for days after days. Maybe it wished that my grandfather would come home through the gate like usual.
One afternoon suddenly the dogs became very excited and hopping around the gate …
Read Complete Story Here...Drama Club and the Ouija Board
Seven years ago I was in a small town Junior High Drama Club. The weekend before our performance we decided to stay the night at one of the girls’ houses to practice our lines and hang out. (No boys were in our Drama Club: small town) Before I begin to tell about the events of that horrible night I must first tell you about the house.
Dee Dee’s mom, (I’m changing the names) had a fascination with ghosts. She had weird paintings on the wall and every thing. She also had the little Hallmark Villages set up all around her living room. They were strange. Dee Dee never said anything about her house being haunted or evil though. And it didn’t feel haunted when I first entered the house. I would soon find out how very wrong I was.
We started out practicing our lines in her Basement/Garage. We soon got bored however and started telling ghost stories. I really …
Read Complete Story Here...Black Figure Keeps Attacking and I Need Help
Since I was a young girl I have heard strange noises and seen strange figures. I must have blocked a lot of this out because the memories have hit me in waves over the years.
I recall being very young and something coming to me and telling me that I wasn’t meant to live. I was born premature and had a rough beginning, but this voice insisted that I go with them and it scared me to death. There was the sound of breathing in my bedroom, and feelings like I would leave my body in the most vivid lucid dreams…
Fast forward to age 13. I began hearing voices in my bedroom saying much more sinister things. I thought I was going crazy… and then it happened. I thought I was dreaming… I was laying in my bed and in my “dream” I saw my bedroom door open and a figure come in… it appeared to be a man …
Read Complete Story Here...Repeated Paranormal Encounters
Hey, I thought it was about time that I told someone (something!) about my Encounters I’ve had, I’ve had a few and I’ll try to keep them short, luckily for you, the first is easy.
First;
This is the most frightful yet confusing one I’ve had. I’m twelve, and I’m in my bed, late one night, past midnight. Can’t sleep, too hot in my room, so I head to the window. As I’m about to open my window, I have a strange feeling someone’s outside, underneath the window hovering, waiting for me to open it so he can drag me out. I stop, I’m being silly, so I open it (very quickly) so its fully open. I head back to bed, hop in, and keep the covers off.
Ten minutes later, I feel a bit chilly, so I think about pulling my cover over me, but, I cant move. I think maybe because I’m not trying (I know, wild guess), …
Read Complete Story Here...Grandfather He Met After Death
My fiancés grandfather that he met after death through me!
Ok so here’s how it goes. My fiancés grandfather passed away in the early 1970′s right before my fiancé was born. One night me and my fiancé were sitting on the couch watching television and I kept feeling like someone was poking me on my shoulder. It almost felt like a spasm so I asked my fiancé to rub my shoulder to see if he could find any trigger points and to see if my muscles needed stretching. (I work in physical therapy) Well as he dug in my shoulder there was no pain but the poking feeling continued.
I’ve come to realize that when ghosts need something they poke me, call my name, interfere with my electronics and many other things. Well I heard something in my head so I decided to hold a little séance. I have a pendulum that I use and I make a chart so …
Read Complete Story Here...My Haunted House Part II
The Blonde Girl and The Chatter
My house is pretty crowded. Not just because of the four of us living here, but everywhere I turn I seem to be bumping into someone. I’ve managed to let go of the fear associated with seeing ghosts, but the startle factor is still a big issue for me. I just can’t seem to get used to walking into a room and finding a stranger looking at me and then disappear, or just hang out, depending on the day.
The first ghost I actually saw with my eyes in this house was a little girl. She looked about 5 years old, but I knew she was actually 8. Again, I don’t really know the ins and outs of how this ability works, so you’re just going to have to take my word for it. She was skinny with long stringy blonde hair. She never said a word to me. Just watched my every move …
Read Complete Story Here...Halloween in France
Hi, Ghouls and Demons, I thought it would be fun to share some facts about Halloween in France. On this day it was believed that the spirits rose from the dead to mingle with the living. The Celts left food at their doors to lure good spirits and wore masks to scare off evil spirits. The celebration of Samhain celebrated at the end of the harvest and honoring the dead. Centuries later the Roman Catholic church established November 1st as All Saints Day ( La Toussaint ) to honor Saints who don’t have their own Holy day. They wanted to detract attention away from celebrating Samhain considered a Pagan celebration.
Some say the Celts in northern France celebrated Halloween, but this can’t be confirmed. Halloween is not a traditional French holiday, yet becomes more and more popular every year due to cultural influence and corporate marketing. The French have been hearing about Halloween from foreigners, tourists and in their English …
Read Complete Story Here...The Baker Hotel Mineral Wells Texas
In 2005 my 16 year old sister introduced me to the Baker Hotel. I am a practicing Wiccan and have been for several years. I am sensitive to other on the other side. The Baker is on private property, at the time it was wide open and my sister, my husband and I decided to explore this supposed to be haunted hotel. The Baker was vacant since 1972. It was built in the 1920′s. It was a very popular spa & resort for many many years.
On our adventure we collected three candles, three flashlights and three bottles of water. Once we entered the hotel we found ourselves in this massive ball room. There was a small stage in the corner. I set my plastic bag with our items on the stage. I removed three white candles and placed them inside a circle that the three of us had made sitting on the floor. Ironically enough none of us had …

I have never wrote about this before but as I was going through reading stories, I decided to finally tell my experience.
About 5 years ago in 2004, I moved into a new apartment by myself in Atlanta. A girlfriend of mine, Shelicia who lived in Washington, D.C. decided to make the trip down so that we could celebrate my newly “single” status since I had just broke up with my boyfriend. Her best friend Lana, whom I had never met before happened to be in Atlanta for a convention as well that weekend. While I was at work the first day that Shelicia was there, she nicely unpacked all of my boxes for me and put everything away. A couple hours after I came home from work, Lana came by to visit. It was my first time meeting her and she was very bubbly and nice.
About ten minutes after Lana arrived, Shelicia brought up the fact that while …
