Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Haunted House on the Moors

My friend and I were originally from a suburb just outside London. After university we decided we’d like to buy our own home together, on the Yorkshire Moors, as my friend had recently secured a job as a teacher in a primary school in York. Campion House was perfect, we were both keen renovators and wanted to make this run down house a proper home. The place had been derelict for over 40 years and saw this as a perfect opportunity, as I had just completed a degree in architecture. It was on the market for £110,000 and for such a property this was surprisingly cheap, considering the recent property boom, so we didn’t hesitate to put in an offer. We did, however, wonder why it was being sold at such a low price. We found out in the months that followed.

After the first two months of renovating the house, it was finally in a state where we could …

My Haunted School

My name is Matilda. I’m a normal schoolgirl, but I believe in the supernatural; I believe that spirits exist, that angels are around us, that there is a higher spiritual ‘level’. My story is completely true, and it happened not that long ago – maybe a month or a little less. You may believe it, you may not.

I attend a school that is based on two sites, which are very close to each other. My school is extremely close to a cemetery and a quarry, but has no history of ghosts/hauntings/spirits.

It all began on a Thursday. It was time for P.E. I was dreading the lesson, as I’m no good at sports, and we were playing Tennis outside. Our teacher had told us to get changed in the toilets at the far end of one of the buildings, as the other ones were in use by another class. The toilets we had to get changed in were rarely …

Freddy Jackson Ghost Picture

Here is a well known paranormal photo that has been widely published both in books and online. This strange picture was shot in 1919 but wasn’t published until 1975.

This picture is a group portrait of Sir Victor Goddard’s squadron. These men had served in the R.A.F. in WW I. If you look in the top row at the fourth man from the left you will see a ghost like face behind him.

Two days before this photograph was taken a mechanic by the name of Freddy Jackson died in an accident. Jackson’s funeral had actually been held on the same day the group photo was taken. Squadron members have said they could recognize the face in the picture as that of Freddy Jackson.

Did Jackson show up for the group photo even though he was dead? In our Paranormal Survey {at the time of this posting} 83.5% of those who participated said that they believe this is a genuine …

Buried Alive

I have a story that I would like to share with everyone on this site. I was born in Longobucco, the Cosenza province of Italy. This is a story that my grandmother told me. My grandmother was born in Longobucco in 1916, this event took place there in 1929. They had neighbors who were a husband and wife, with children. The children were young, but I’m not sure of their ages.

One day the husband had come home from work to find his wife lying on the floor – she was dead. They called the doctor who pronounced her dead, then they called the priest to administer the last rites.

At that time and region it was the family who personally washed the body (they don’t embalm). They would then put the body into the coffin and take it to the chapel. The dead were not guarded at home. The chapel is situated next to the caretakers house, the cemetery …

A Dark Angel?

It all started the day my gramps died. I got crazy cold, but I normal run away from the room it gets cold. Anyway it wanted me to stay following me around the room. My mom was at the hospital saying gramps was worse, I didn’t know he was dead yet. I told it to go away and to leave me alone. My parents assumed it was an imaginary friend but it wasn’t.

When my mom came home the cold spot left and centered around my aunts and uncles my mom and dad too as if to comfort them. I had no idea what was going on, I was like five or six and they said I wouldn’t understand. Then we went to a different house that night my mom wouldn’t stop crying and the cold spot was near her a lot. I didn’t fear it which I learned means its an ok spirit. I did not talk to it, …

The Ghost Following Me

My name is Jayson and I’m a ghost magnet. I pick up ghosts almost all the time and they stick with me for days at a time then go away. So as you can guess, I’m sensitive to the paranormal. I’d like to say one thing too, before I begin: I don’t feel ghosts more than I feel their inherent emotions. Some people say “I feel a ghost in the hallway”, whereas I feel anger or curiosity or fear etc. emanating from the hallway.

The story I’d like to share is still taking place as I’m writing this down. I work in James Bay, Northern Québec (Canada). It’s basically a huge construction site (50 dikes and 4 dams to be built in order to derivate the Rupert River towards La Grande Reservoir). There are a few Cree (native Amerindians of northern Québec are Cree) settlements as well as a handful of work camps. Anyway, As the Dikes go up, I …

I’m Going to Rest Now

I wanna share to you guys my share of the paranormal experiences. Not every part of it is that scary but still out of this world. These episodes no longer come as often as it used to.

The earliest experience I remember was when I was just around 5 or 6 years old. We used to live in the same neighborhood as most of our relatives. My granny’s sister, Nora used to baby-sit me a lot and I was accustomed to her cooking me all kinds of food. But for the past couple of days she hadn’t been able to come. Since she lived with her family a few blocks away, I went to her place alone. But upon approaching their house, I saw what I thought was just a rectangular box blocking the doorway (must have been some kind of belief or tradition). And nearing the box, I saw Granny Nora’s Husband lying there. You must know by now …

Ouija Boards Witchcraft and Demons

I started becoming interested in the occult. I bought books on witchcraft and occult tools to be able to conjure up demonic spirits in an attempt to have them work to make my life better. I wanted money, cars, power, etc.

I also used the Ouija board (which is not a game by the way, but a dangerous tool) to contact different demons.

I Know They Still Live

My story is very real. In October of 2000 my only child, my son, died from the congenital heart condition he was born with. He was 28 days “shy” of his 19th birthday. Needless to say his father and I were devastated; we went through the motions of living day to day. We would not have survived that first year were it not for the fact that he never left us.

Every morning before he left for work, (he took care of some miniature horses in the mornings and rode cutting horses in the afternoons) he would wake me up and kiss me goodbye. I don’t know for sure how long he kept that up but I know I very plainly felt that kiss on my forehead and I still get “butterfly” kisses on my checks.

We had a Chihuahua that he dearly loved and even called him his “little brother”. They shared ice-cream cones, sour apple Jolly Ranchers, Butterfinger …

The Crying Lady

A few years ago my wife of seven years and our four kids (my step children) and I moved to what we all knew to be our dream home. Now I can go on and on about so many things that went on while living there. To which they were experienced by anyone and almost everyone that came into our home. But the story I’m going to tell today I feel is the scariest that happened to my wife and I.

It was a Saturday, in the middle of summer. My daughter and my niece, who were 15 at the time, asked if we could drop them off at a party. My wife and I had been arguing through out the day. Which we did a lot while we lived there. And not just us but everyone that lived there. So we went on our way about 10:00 pm. We knew the people where we were dropping them off, told …

Haunting Dream of a Murderer

Before I tell of my experience, I would like to say I do not claim in any way, shape or form to be psychic. Though some people believe we all have psychic abilities-if I do, I am very much unaware of them. Except for once! I have never before, or after the psychic dream, had anything remotely similar happen.

Location: Kelowna, BC Late 1980′s

My best friend, Laura, was on lunch break (she was a social worker and worked for a Women’s Shelter in Kelowna). She picked me up and we were sitting outside of Subway in her Pinto getting ready to enjoy our lunch. The radio was on, and a story came on that told of a recent find of a partial skeleton-male, between the ages of 14 – 18 they believed. Some bones were missing, probably carried off by animals. His bones were found on Knox Mountain, located in Kelowna, an area that I had never visited.

A …

Shadow Dog and Invisible Entity

I’ve had two life-changing experiences that have made me think about a lot of things differently. First, let me say that my grandmother is a very religious woman and she has had spiritual dreams. This has been passed on to my mother, who has a more severity with things spiritual than my grandmother. She has heard things, she has seen things, and things have seen her.

My mother has a friend who is a preacher, who has told her numerous times to embrace the gift God has given her, and to be aware because there is something very special about the women side of our family and there will always be something in the darkness watching us.

So, with that being said, my mother has had her children baptized except for the youngest. Me. I have not been baptized and when I was younger and I have always had a problem going to church. Not that I didn’t want to …
