Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Doppelganger at College

When I was in college, this was a primarily an Indian college, it was a Friday evening and I and a couple of other friends were going to join others from the college primarily students who lived on campus since we mostly hung out together since we lived there; anyhow, we were going to join others who were already at the river partying. I don’t remember why we hadn’t gone with the main group but it must have been about 10 pm or later and already dark.

I and the other couple of people who were fixing to leave lived on the ground floor, which was actually a little below ground. our windows were ground level and in our rooms head level. While in one of the double rooms with a couple of the guys telling them to hurry up or everyone would be drunk before we got there, we heard someone knocking on the window of their room. It …

Strange Creature on a Lonely Road in Oregon

This took place shortly after I had turned 16. My dad was working up in Oregon and Washington but was based out of rainier. I went up to live with him I guess just to do something different. I was used to being around the city type of atmosphere and it wasn’t too long before I grew bored (not that the Oregon country girls in that area didn’t stir my blood, it’s just that they mainly wanted to waste their time getting high, or drunk, tipping cows, or shooting the passing ships going down the Columbia river, which I didn’t mind at that time, I just missed the city lights or something).

Anyhow, I’d been out partying with a friend and drove off the side of a mountain, (another story which would take a while to go through), and I thought my dad was probably going to kill me anyway, without the benefit of blindfold and a last smoke, so …

Paranormal Encounters in 1940s Home

Let me begin this story by stating that I, even at a young age, was a skeptic. This story takes place in my home which was built in the 1940′s.

The first and probably most horrific experience I had was when it was in the early 90′s and I was 6 years old. I was watching charlottes web in my upstairs bedroom when the TV suddenly shut off. I caught something out of the corner of my eye and looked into my vanity mirror, seeing an older man (I couldn’t tell you details other than that). Obviously I ran down stairs to tell my mother when I felt a push and fell down the stairs. My mother heard my fall and ran to my side, where I was not breathing or able to speak. She called an ambulance but when I left the house and got to the hospital I was fine. After that day, I refused to sleep alone …

Ghost Ship on the Gulf

My ghost story started on July 3rd , 2009. What we had planned was a family outing, what we got was an adventure of a lifetime.

I’ve been trying for several months to get my wife to agree to an overnight trip out on the Gulf Of Mexico. My (Melissa) would say “David (that’s me), We’ll drift off and end up in Mexico”. Finally I got her brother “Mike” and his girlfriend “Georgia” on board with the overnight camp out plan I had. My 15 yr old son (Cody) was looking forward to a camp out on the water since the first day I mentioned it. Melissa reluctantly agreed to go along after finding that her brother was on board with the plan.

On July 3rd this year, we worked our way through the crowded boat ramp with our supplies in hand at Crystal River’s public access in Florida. After taking what seemed like forever to find a place to …

Online Ouija Board Outcome

Hi friends I am new to the site, by reading your stories I understand that you people are conveying your true experiences about the unknown, so I decided to share my experience with you all. This is my first time in writing an online story so don’t forget to comment and give feedback thank you. I am delivering this story to tell that even an online Ouija Board will make you get into trouble. So don’t play with any form of spirit board please.

Like everyone I don’t need to tell that my story is true ok. This happened in the start of this year, yes January 2009. Most of you have an experience with the witch board. I also wanted to play with one, and I had played it nothing happened. Despite all I have god and I consider him as my best friend and I confessed everything to him (this doesn’t mean that I am seeing god and …

She Still Visits from Time to Time

Hi my name is Jessica I’m now 22 years old but I have had a couple of weird things happen to me. This story is about my grandmother. It was December 16, 1997 I believe I was in the 5th grade so that made me 12 years old at the time.

Me my mom and my brother were supposed to travel out of the country to visit my grandma in Colombia. So we arrive at the capital at 3 pm and we had to wait till 6 pm to take our connection flight. They told us to be at the terminal no later than 5 pm so we could start boarding. So come 4:45 pm we are at the terminal and the plane left without us for whatever reason, leaving behind 11 passengers.

A lady working for the airline came out and apologized and told us the next flight left the next day at 7:30 am and she said not …

Haunted Bakery in Ohio

I own a bakery in Trenton, Ohio. I have had it for about 5 years. There have been many things happen there. It started with doors opening with no one there, then we heard racks shaking. My sister was working one time and heard the bell on the front door go off and saw a woman in a white dress come in and walk across the room. She said “I will be right with you!” but when she walked out to the front there was no one there.

There have been many occasions of untying aprons and slamming the bathroom door, and boxes falling off of tables that it had to be pushed off of. One time a girl that worked for us was filling some donuts and a proof box that was unused was opened and swung hard and hit her in the rear end. One of the other ladies was frying donuts and said she saw it. Those …

Old Lady with a Smile

When you’re young, you’re shielded away from the nasty world that’s around you by your parents, so no wonder at some point you start to become curious about everything. In need of answers to the many questions you have. One of the many questions for me was what does and doesn’t exist?

Back in the day, when talking about ghosts, spirits and other beings that were said to haunt the world, I always had my mind made up. They didn’t exist. I remember at Christmas, me and my family used to sit around watching Casper, that friendly, harmless ghost that we all grew to like; none like him could definitely exist, it was only a cartoon anyway. Although this was never to be, my opinion on ghosts changed completely, after an experience I encountered.

I remember this one ordinary day, when I was about six or seven years old. Can’t remember the exact date, but I’m sure it was sometime …

Ghost in Japanese Townhouse

Hello, I wanted to share with you an experience I had when my husband and I were stationed in at Naval Air Facility, Atsugi, Japan. My husband spent twenty plus years in the Navy, and has since retired.  We had always wanted to be stationed in the orient, and were so excited when we received orders.

It was our first year and a half in Japan. We had lived off Base for awhile, and our name finally came up to move on Base. As much as we loved leaving in our cute little Japanese apartment, it was bone chilling cold most of the time, except during a couple of months in the summer, and we looked forward to the comforts of the American housing unit on Base. We were told that we were going to be assigned an older townhouse that would eventually be torn down and that we eventually would be assigned a new unit once they were finished …

The Haunted Frame

My five year old brother told me one day he used to see something watching me sleep from my ceiling. I dismissed this until I remembered the activity in my Queens, NY apartment around the time he claimed to have seen it. In my 7 plus years in the apartment there had never been any activity until I was about 15. My mom was constantly putting things up in my room, one of them being a picture of The Last Supper. I of course didn’t mind, since our whole family is very religious.

Eventually strange activity would emerge. It began when I started seeing green or yellow orbs fly past me while watching TV. I was always fascinated with the paranormal so I thought the orbs being associated with a ghost was too good to be true. So I ignored them.

One day I was playing a videogame and a huge sphere of black mist swung in front of me. …

A Never Ending Dream

I used to think that I was most likely crazy, then changed that to delusional, but a functional delusional. I’ve vowed to never open up to anyone much less many “anyones” about the dreams and experiences I’ve had. Now that I have read so much on this site and see that so many are experiencing things they have no answers for like myself I find it a comfort. Either there is something happening to much of the general public or madness is running rampant through the masses.

Not in chronological order but order of importance, I think anyway, When I was around 7 or 8 I and a friend I’ve had all my life were at a small carnival in the small town I grew up in, we had seen most everything twice or more and rode the rides and finally decided to go to the gypsy looking fortune teller. I didn’t buy into that sort of thing even at …

The Truth about Ouija Boards

Do you believe Ouija boards are evil? Should they be banned from the general public? A history and belief have been told about them for generations. But there’s one problem – it’s a toy, made from cardboard and plastic. It is mass produced by Parker Brothers, the same people that makes Clue and Monopoly. Parker Bros. is a corporation like any other and have no discernable evil intentions. So why is there such a controversy about them in the paranormal and spiritual fields?

Let’s look back into the proposed history of the Ouija board. One belief that is said to be the forerunner to the Ouija board is Fuji. Fuji is the divination method in which Chinese characters are drawn in sand or incense ashes. But this is not Ouija, this is a form of spirit writing, with no board. Not Ouija. Another proposed precursor is, according to a Greek historical account of the philosopher Pythagoras, in 540 B.C. his …
