Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

The Mason And His Wife

The house that I grew up in was built by my grandparents in the late 1940′s. The area was surrounded by big stately houses built in the early 1800′s. They all had private family cemeteries behind them. Just down the road was, or still is, a civil war cemetery. The whole area is creepy complete with a mental institution now turned prison at the end of the road.

Upon entering my house there was always a heavy feeling in the air almost like a pressure. A lot of my friends would come to spend the night only later to leave saying they were sick never to return again. Ever since I can remember the house always gave me an ill-feeling. Our family dog would sit under the table and just move his eyes all around. I knew they were there you could not of not felt their presence.

Growing up my Mom would let me and my brother stay home …

The Red House

This is tale of the township of Baliya near Varanasi in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. That was the most horrendous night of my life, I am myself a bystander of all this which I am going to tell you. It was a friend’s sister’s marriage who used to stay near to my residence, just adjacent to my house there were two more houses and the big red house. How can I overlook that house, its depiction is still clear in my eyes as it was 20 years ago.

I was a tiny adolescent, that time scarcely nine or ten years old. My friend, who’s name was Sonu, his sister who was getting married, her name was Sheila, and this red house (as people used to call it) was rented by Sonu’s dad for Sheila’s grooms family and relatives to stay for the marriage night (in India marriages take place at night at least until 3 am). The red …

Love Beyond Grave

Hi I’m Elnie again… trying to cope up with the bitter and saddest moment of my life. Three weeks ago, Marc, my recent boyfriend has just died in a car accident. It was so unbearable that I could not take the pain away in my heart. I loved him so much that I don’t know how to start my life without seeing his jolly face.

Our love story began when my bestfriend came one day at my house, told me that he has got something to introduced to me. During that time, I just broke up with my ex. I was really betrayed and heartbroken, so my bestfriend wanted me to happy again. We went to a small cafe and a  minute later, Marc had arrived. I was not attracted to him right at the spot, but because of his gentle manners, he captivated a little part of my broken heart and from that day, we became inseparable. The moment …

Haunted Home In Kewanee Wisconsin

Growing up my parents always told me scary stories about my Grandmother’s house to supposedly scare me. I always thought they were fake, until I got older and started to experience some of the things myself. This has many different parts to it, but I will start out with when I was a baby.

My mom, dad, aunt, uncles, and grandparents all told me that when I was a baby, they would put me to sleep every night in my crib upstairs, and they would stay up and watch TV downstairs. They all stated that it would be dead silent sometimes, and they would all of a sudden hear me crying upstairs. They would go up to check on me, and I’d be silent asleep in my crib. This went on for a long time before it stopped.

My grandma used to have an old rocking chair upstairs, and she would often walk upstairs and see it going back and …

The Ghost That Possessed My Friend

Forgive me if I go into too much detail about the events that led up to my experience with the unknown sprit/s.  I will start off by saying that I am a believer in ghosts or forces of the unknown world. Being an only child I feel very secure in my own home in fact I can count on one hand the number of times I had to leave the comfort of home to stay at a relative’s house. I am now twenty-one and I’ll be turning twenty-two in July.  So technically I am an adult but for some reason I did not really grow up and I still look for signs or supernatural forces everywhere, I still check and recheck under my bed for the hope that there’ll be something there, waiting to surprise me!

Last night as I was straightening out my bed sheets, a sudden memory or flash back of my childhood came back, for some reason …

Haunting In Springfield Gardens

It was summer of 1996 my parents decided to rent out the basement for extra income to a young couple with a teenage son, lets call him Matt. One day my brother and I were playing in the yard. Matt invited us into their apartment basement to play games. After we got approval from our parents, we went.  While walking in, I noticed that there was a small altar with different saints, pictures, candles and statues tucked away in a very small room in which I did not remember seeing before. It had no door, it was covered with a sheer curtain and that’s why I was able to see it. However, I paid no mind to it.

After an hour or so of playing video games, he came to us with an Ouija board.  My brother and I knew exactly what the board was capable of doing after hearing so many stories on it, so we refused to play.  …

Haunted Van Cortlandt Mansion

This story is very short and mainly for New Yorkers or anyone who’s heard of Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. Oh, and the story really happened to me and my father.

My dad wanted to take me to Van Cortlandt park as something to do. Tours were open for the Cortlandt house so we decided to go take a short tour. It wasn’t really a “tour”, though, because you just walked around the house by yourself. Anyway even though it was the middle of the day we went in just as three families left, and we were the only two people in there.

We walked around the downstairs just looking at stuff, when three minutes later we heard someone walking around upstairs. My dad had the WTF expression on his face, and apparently so did I. We just decided that someone was still upstairs, and left it at that. Eventually we finished the downstairs and had no where else …

Am I Just Over Reacting?

Hi my name is China and I live in Michigan. I haven’t really experienced anything, at least I don’t think but I believe in ghosts, and am very afraid to come across in seeing one. I love listening to ghost stories but I’m afraid sometimes. My grandma believes in not talking about it too much or they would hear and come to you or something? But I don’t know. And I just started coming to this site to read a few stories, which are amazingly good by the way, but just last night after reading a few more stories before I went downstairs into my bedroom to sleep, I laid there for like an hour and couldn’t fall asleep because of this knocking happening over my head. I don’t know if it was in the wall? Or what? It sounded like it was happening in a pattern. It would knock a few times, stop… and so on.

I was getting …

Voice From The Grave

My Aunt Grace was not really my aunt.  She and her husband were friends of my step father’s who insisted, upon our meeting, of being called Aunt Grace and Uncle Buck. I was 12 years old when I first met Grace. She would regale me with stories of her life and travels. She had taught English at a school that began in a refurbished chicken coop, that school is now a prominent university. Though highly intelligent she did have her quirks, she once came to my house wearing a woven straw planter as a hat.

Even though I had grown up and moved a hundred miles away, I kept in contact with Grace by phone calls or letters. Due to cost my phone calls lessened yet my letters continued to my beloved Aunt Grace.  When neither my calls nor my letters received any reply I decided to go visit Grace myself.

Upon arriving at her house I knocked on the …

Evil Shadow Entity Attack During Sleep

In late 2007 I had a life changing experience with an evil shadow entity. I was living in an apartment at the time. I had been living in this apartment for less than a year and I always felt uneasy there. I remember lights would flicker for no reason and pets would always be “watching” something I could not see. I never really thought much of it though.

One thing I noticed is that almost as soon as I moved there I would always wake up not being able to move. I wouldn’t even be able to open my eyes but I would hear strange sounds like buzzing or strange voices. I would always dismiss it as dreaming, but it bothered me because it would happen about three or four nights a week. I then started reading about sleep paralysis but my cases are strange because after I have an episode I always feel emotionally and physically “drained.”

One night …

Haunted In Hoosierville Part 2

Did you read Haunted In Hoosierville Part 1?

My older sister had the room at the end of the hall, upstairs. She didn’t really get bothered too much and thought we were being silly at first. One night she woke up because her bed was shaking. Her room was completely dark (which was impossible because she had a street lamp outside her window). She felt like someone was in the room with her, standing right over her. She covered her head with the blanket and was too scared to move. From then on, she left her bedroom door opened and the light on. To this day, she is scared of the dark.

My mom always told us not to be scared of what we thought was going on, not to show fear and we would be okay. She got up to go the bathroom one night, and when she was coming back through the hall she saw something in …

Poltergeist And The Evil Room

I had only heard about poltergeists a few times before, mostly in movies like ‘Beetlejuice’ and such but I had my first experience about a year ago.

I had moved up into my sister’s room when she had moved out. It was a large room and we had only lived in this house for about a year now. The owners that lived in the house before us had told us that it was used as a clinic/hospital. Which was easy to believe because we always found apothecary bottles, tubes, and such outside in the yard. My whole family believed in ghosts but I had never encountered so much until I moved into that room. I had finally arranged everything the way I wanted it. The attic of course was found in my room, and it had a tendency to open by itself. So I had put an 80 lbs dresser in front of the door that I could barely slide …
