Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

My Strange Paranormal Experiences

Okay, so this all started a few years ago, when I was around 15 years old (I am currently 17). We’ve been in our house for a few years now, and all of a sudden for a couple months straight I would see things. The first time I saw anything weird I remember really good. So I’ll share that story.

I was in my living room, and I was walking from the wall in the back, to the kitchen. My grandfather was sitting on the couch, and it was only us two in the room. All of a sudden a hand came over the top of my head/hat and grabbed at my face. I then threw my own hands at my face and fell to my knees on the floor. I then looked up at my grandfather who was looking at me as if I was going crazy (maybe I was I’m not sure) and I asked him “Who was …

My Guardian Angel

I was six at the time, but I can seriously tell you I remember it like it was yesterday. I was adopted by my mums sister and her husband, Due to that I grew closer to my step dads family more then my own blood relations. His father, my granddad, came from America and was very fond of me as I was of him. He was a gentle giant in my eyes, sadly though he was getting ill, now I know why he came back to the Islands.

One day I was sitting outside his room when I heard him cough, it sounded so painful, so I ran to my mum and stressed the fact that something was seriously wrong, turns out it was just a normal cough but from that day forward my bond with him grew stronger.

Then one night I noticed my mum and aunties making all these quilts. In our tradition it’s normal, we decorate with …

Haunted House At The Bottom Of Devils Kitchen

I have been reading paranormal stories on this site for quite some time now and have decided to tell one of mine. I have actually had several experiences since I was about nine years old. The one that frightened me the most was in Upstate New York at a very old house that my sister and I were renting.

I will start with a few facts that will help with explaining my story. Our Landlord had never told us any history of this house other then it was passed down to her by relatives. The house was split into three different apartments, ours being the largest. The landlord lived in one and the third was empty.

The area is known for being quite spiritual and has some of the oldest mountains in the country. This house is right at the bottom of what is referred to as Devils Kitchen. This fact doesn’t really have any baring on my story other …

Haunted Old Manor House

I’m going to tell you about something that happened to me ten years ago. This ghost story is 100% true and that is why I still remember that day clearly.

Nearby to where we lived when I was a teenager was an old manor that clearly wasn’t lived in anymore as the gardens were overgrown and the windows were boarded up. People in the village used to tell tales about how strange lights and noises came from the place at night. I used to just think they were silly stories at the time.

My friends and I used to have a laugh when we were around that place. It was always deserted so it was the perfect place to hang around. One night we got a bit bored and decided to play dares. One of the boys thought it might be funny to break into the old house so he broke down the old door and we all went in. …

The Ghost That Tore Apart Our Family

Hi, our names are Jenna and Kara Michaels, and we’re 15-year-old twins. We both felt strongly about writing this memoir down and posting it, because we think people should know how badly a spirit can ruin your life.

It was mid-August,2002. Jenna and I were 9 years old. Our parents were going through a divorce, and our Mom was moving into a new house. Due to issues with our father, my mother had won custody over us. As the day came more and more closer for us to move, we dreaded moving out of our once peaceful home. But we couldn’t help but feel at peace, because all of the bad memories of our father coming home drunk and our mother breaking things would be left behind.

At first the new house seemed perfect, it was big enough for each of us to have our own room and the kitchen was immaculate. But then one night, when Jenna and …

Suicide School Girl Ghost

I just attended the last day of high school, so I now feel safe enough to tell you all of my experiences in that school.

A girl hung herself sometime back in my school. It was far enough back that most of the teachers don’t even remember it. My dance teacher did though. She’s the one that told us about it. I got it confirmed by two other teachers.

This girl hung herself in the dance room. I didn’t ever get a description of her from a teacher or anything. I just was told that after that happened, they heard knockings on the doors from then on out.

Well, the first time I saw this girl, I was really depressed. I didn’t like dance class so I was always depressed going in there. I looked through the window of the first door leading into the dance room and saw a girl leaning in the corner. She didn’t look like anyone …

Sleep Paralysis Experiences

I believe sleep paralysis is an interesting subject to talk about. Many say its a sleeping disorder while others believe its something spiritual. I guess depending on the person having the experience can decide. As for me, I believe this is something spiritual. Why? Well, when I was pregnant from my first child 1993-15 years ago, it would happen to me EVERY morning around 5:30 am after my husband would leave to work, it never happed when he was off. I would get up every morning to make him breakfast and lunch and when he would leave, I would go to bed.

Being that I was pregnant, sleeping on my side was the most comfortable position. I would lay down, then I would say as I lay there just thinking for about 10 maybe 15 min it would happen. I felt someone behind me. As I tried to turn, I realized I could not move, open my eyes, nor even …

Ghost Boy on the Playground

There’s a lot of talk about children with imaginary friends. But what happens when the line between what is imaginary and what is real, is crossed? I don’t like to talk about my paranormal experiences. For one, I don’t want to believe them, and two, I don’t like to talk much. But there are times where I can’t just wave away the obvious truths. This is one of those times when it really wasn’t just “a part of my imagination.”

When I was in elementary school, I had little to no friends, because I was the most timid little thing you could find on the playground. Nobody wanted to play with the “quiet girl” who didn’t know how to play ball or climb monkey bars. So I often found myself sitting on the swings, looking out at the green field to watch the other kids fool around.

One day, I finally noticed another loner wandering around in the …

Visited by Strange Menacing Man in Black

I was 8 years old. I woke up in the middle of the night, and my bedroom which is always almost pitch black was pretty well illuminated, enough to where I could see everything in my room and the some color and detail of each object. There were no lights on in the house. I could not fall back asleep because of how much light was emanating into my room. I was lying on my stomach, and wondering, “where is this light coming from?” After ten minutes, I was wide awake.

Curious, I turned over and sat up so I could see the doorway to my bedroom. I froze. My heart began to pound hard and fast in my chest in fear. There was a man dressed in black that I never seen before standing at my bedroom door. I sat there frozen in fear just watching him, not knowing whether to scream for my parents, or hide under the …

Weird Things That Go On Around Me

I have a few short little ghost stories to share with all of you. Things have always happened around me even when I was very young. I would like to finally tell more people. Everything I’m going to share is true.

When I was very young, my mother would tell me how she would know that something good was going to happen. She said that she would always smell apple pie and cigarettes. She told me that my great-grandfather always smoked them until his death. She says that she thinks he likes to let her know when to look forward to something since she was the only granddaughter and his favorite.

My mom also told me this one. When she was very young, my grandparents, mom, and her two brothers lived in a old farm house. Across the driveway was a church (which is no longer used since the roof caved in almost 30 years ago) and a cemetery. Mom …

The Little Hauntings In My House

Ever since I was little, I have always been interested in ghosts and the paranormal. I always wanted to believe that my house was haunted and that something ‘crazy/cool’ would happen to me. But at the same time, I seemed to find myself finding something weird happening around the house.

The first time I saw something was in the middle of the night, at about age 9 or 10. It was around two o’clock when I awoke randomly; that always seemed to happen to me around the same time frequently. When I opened my eyes, I was kind of dazed, but I knew I was awake enough to know what was going on. Straight ahead of me, in between both of my closets, an indescribable white, misty figure stood before me.  It wasn’t too vivid, but I could tell it was a young girl or something.

I was shocked, but at the same time, I couldn’t grasp the thought, …

My Haunted Apartment

My name is Jessica, I’ve already submitted one story on here called ghost tales in my family. But I’m afraid that’s not where my encounters stop! As I mentioned before I now reside in an apartment with my boyfriend of two years. We have been living here for about a month. Already I hate being home alone while Ryan is at work. I dread each time he has to leave.

I am home by myself now and I can hear the walls. I know that sounds strange, but what I mean is I can hear someone, or something, banging on the wall that separates my bedroom and the living room.

When you first walk in my apartment you can see the living room and a hallway. Well, the wall between them leads to Ryan’s and my bedroom. And for two days now, I hear banging on that wall. Not on the bedroom wall that connects my apartment to another. …
