Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

What I Saw That Night

Ok, My name is Kirsten and I am 12. I am an Australian and this was one of the scariest moments of my life; and yes, I have witnessed many ghostly activity for my age.

This was set a village somewhere in Fiji. We were doing experience or something for the villagers – Like living like one of them. My mum is all for experience and loves to explore the world so we were in Fiji for the October holidays which separates 3rd term and 4th term.

When we got there everything seemed normal as usual in the jungle like area. A man said to us that the village was 5 and a half kilometers away and we had to walk on foot.

For the first few hours, he pointed out areas in the area that was special to them while he made his own path slicing the trees with his machete. (I was behind him so it was kind …

Ghost at Shiloh Civil War Reenactment

It started out as any other reenactment I had been to with my father, good times with friends, camping and weapons. As young boy that was a great thing to me, I didn’t know much about death or ghosts for that matter. That weekend was one of the first experiences I had ever had.

I was nine when this particular battle took place and I loved reading about the guys from Alabama and the south fighting for the confederacy, now I’m a U.S. Army Sgt. I had fought that morning and was very tired so I decided to lay under a tree for a while and wait on my dad to come up the hill. When a boy about my age came and sat down and asked to see my rifle.

I was excited, not many kids go to these events and I thought I made a new friend. I remember he examined the rifle really close and he turned …

My Grandmothers Spirit

It all start with an experience I had when I was 9. I saw the image of my great uncle that had passed from cancer a few years prior.

My brother and I were playing in my room doing rolls across the bed and when I stood up my dead uncle was standing in the door way. It was his image he was wearing his work clothes he owned an oil company so he had on his jump suit  with name tag on it which I might add I never saw him in when he was alive.  It was a ghostly image I could still see the wall behind him. I froze in fear he was standing in my doorway so I had no where to run. I turned to see if my brother was seeing what I was seeing but he was still playing on the other side of the room when I turned back he disappeared, I then …

Ghost From My Childhood

Okay, so, I’m gonna tell you my story. First, I’m so sorry for my bad English. I’m not from England or America, so…

This all began when I was a very young child. I was five or six, I can’t remember exactly. Me and my family just moved in a new house, and because we didn’t have enough money to pay a rent for a bigger apartment, we just had one room, a kitchen and a bathroom. In the first months, I don’t remember anything to happen. But one night, it all started.

The wardrobe started to make weird sounds, like someone was kicking it from the inside. I was too young to realize what it could be, but my mother was really scared. Also, my brother asked my mother if he was talking with nobody, and she said he was. And I haven’t mentioned that every night, the wardrobe started to make those sounds at 9:15 PM. Every time. …

The Ghost That Changed My Life

So I’ve had paranormal experiences my whole life had visions of the future dreams that came true seen and heard ghosts but never wanted to accept what I saw and heard cause I was raised ‘when you die that’s it your dead’. Well I was 22 years old and I was living with my fiancé. We were at the time fighting a lot going through a lot in our relationship and that caused a big stress on me. Well when I came home from work on Fridays I would be home by myself cause my fiancé works late. I was usually home by 3 pm and my fiancé came home around 7 or 7:30.

Well for a few weeks I kept feeling like someone was watching me. I was on the computer on a Friday talking to my fiancé on aol instant messenger when all of a sudden the DVD rack behind me just falls to the floor. I got …

Haunted Retirement Home Very Active

I have posted in different areas, and have mentioned the retirement home that my mom moved into in August 2009. The retirement home consists of 4 parts; Independent living (where my mom lives), Personal care, a Dementia area, and a nursing home. There are well over 300 residents, just in my moms building. It’s a huge place, with connecting corridors. The building is over 40 years old.

I had a long talk with the maintenance man as we were getting mom moved in. I asked him about anything strange happening. He told me a few things..Some of the apartments are haunted for sure, he said, as you can feel the cold spots, and it feels as if someone is standing right beside you, very creepy he said. He actually pointed a couple out as we walked down the hall. He also said that in one hallway, in the personal care building, you can walk down the hall, and the lights …

The Chase

Hello I am Lilly. Kat one of my friends explained in detail one of her most scary experiences before she became a ghost hunter I wrote an article about it and am now going to re-write it for you here and keep in mind that I am telling it to you from her point of view hope you enjoy it.

Me and my friends Rose, Alice,and Jill (We were all ether 13 or 14 at the time) were having a slumber party at Alice’s house (Other people were coming but not till that evening) Well there was nothing on T.V. and we were bored out of our minds. Alice’s bother and mom weren’t coming home till late so Alice told Rose and Jill the story of this house that was right next to hers. I had heard the story many times and was a full believer me and Alice were both more sensitive to ghosts and such.

Well the story …

Ghost Girl at the Top of the Stairs

I think that I have mentioned a portion of this story in another post. Anyway, here is the whole thing!

A few years ago we bought an older home, not living there any more! Only stayed one year. The day of closing on the house, as we did our final walk through, I walked past the staircase. As I glanced up, there was a girl standing at the top, SOLID FORM, her hair was long and curly and put up with a barrette. Her dress was long and made of of white lace, old fashioned dress I would say. She looked to be about early 20′s. She looked down at me with a very sad look on her face, then turned and walked into one of the bedrooms.

Well, my husband and realtor were standing straight across from me in the dining room. I scooted in there quickly and said, there is a girl at the top of the stairs. …

The Poltergeist

Believe it or not even being a medium, not all of my experiences are dealings with dead folks. I have found I have some other abilities as well. This story is about an ability I hope I never bring forth again.

I find that during emotionally charged times in my life, the ‘activity’ increases. Which is a fairly common thing, really. This particular series of events was somewhat concerning for me though. It started with a knocking that seemed to be coming from my walls. And seemed to follow me wherever I went. Some knocks were faint, but others were down right undeniable. While I found this annoying, living in this haunted house, I wasn’t alarmed so much as just wondering how long I was going to have to put up with this!

The next day, however, I became concerned as I started to smell the overwhelming smell of sulphur. As if someone had lit a match, but minus the …

Demon in a Suburban Home

My name is Nicolette aka Nikki. I never believed in ghosts until my family and I moved into this suburban home in greater Cleveland about nine years ago. I had many experiences in this house from the age of ten until we moved out which was when I had turned fifteen. Here goes!

After we moved in everything was fine. We were excited and anxious to live in the suburbs for the first time and it was a cute little brick house. Then about three months after we moved in me my mom, cousins, and my big sister were sitting in the basement just watching TV and talking. Then one of my cousins happened to hear something coming from the top of the steps, she looked and saw feet walking across the living. She then told us to look and we all saw the very same thing. Which was crazy because my dad wasn’t there and we were the only …

My Haunted House

I live in an extremely haunted house. You may think either a house is haunted or it isn’t. Not so! I’ve lived in a few haunted houses in my day, and this house is extremely haunted. Here’s how the truth unraveled:

When I looked at the house before deciding to purchase it, the realtor seemed reluctant to even take me to the dilapidated second floor, referring to it as an “attic”. Yet it had a large sitting room and two bedrooms. It was in a bad state of disrepair though, and the vibe wasn’t so pleasant. I assumed it was the water damaged ceiling and walls falling down that was causing it the icky feeling. It was an icky space. I thought this would be a good project and fixing it up would make all the bad vibes feel so much better. Wrong.

The renter that was living in the downstairs at the time said she had a friend that …

Sleepless Nights in Cartersville Georgia

Many strange paranormal occurrences have been happening in my house since I turned fifteen, a year after the death of my father. The first occurrence happened one night after dinner. My family and I were in the living room watching a movie for family night, when the pan that we had cooked chicken in slammed down on top of the stove. I saw this as I was walking back into the kitchen to get a drink. Everyone in the room was silent.

The second happening occurred again after dinner about a week later. This time it was just me and me sister watching TV. The TV started going off and on, and volume going up and down. We could hear the buttons clicking! If I would not have heard the buttons clicking I would have thought it was just the TV having a short out. We tried to tell our mother, but she didn’t believe us and threw out the …
