Third Floor Ghost
Three years ago I moved into a flat with my friend Richard, it was the first place we looked at, but snapped it up straight away as it was part of a mansion; so we couldn’t say no.
About one year later I was going through a very stressful period at work and also with my girlfriend. One week night I was sitting on my bed watching a C4 documentary, when out of my peripheral vision I could sense slight movement, but I ignored this and carried on watching the TV.
All of a sudden, a pile of clothes flung off the side of a table, and the rest proceeded to follow but very slowly; as if being tipped at the back and stopped at the front (lasted about fifteen seconds). My reaction to this, was to keep staring at the TV and pretend I hadn’t seen it.
Some other strange event’s followed – plates would rattle and shift in …

I’m 41 and I live in Sacramento, California. I know it sounds cliche, but I have experienced supernatural things most all my life but this is one of the most interesting experiences in my life thus far.
Around 1997 my partner and I rented a duplex. When we first saw the house both spaces were vacant and we got to choose which side we wanted so we picked the one that was available at that time. As we walked through the place I got a feeling the place was haunted, I thought I saw a slight glow on the kitchen ceiling but shrugged it off as light from the window. After I even told my partner what I thought but didn’t think anything of it. As a slight back-story the previous tenants moved out quickly skipping out on their debts.
Now I never got a feeling of evil or anything like that so I never felt threatened. My partner one …
Read Complete Story Here...Experiences With Malevolent Spirits And My Protector
This all begins when I was a young boy, only five or six years old. Unfortunately my natural defenses have obscured some of the details, but I assure you the facts are real.
I always had problems making friends when I was younger, being able to concentrate on my schoolwork, do normal every day things, and I owe it all to some malevolent spirit (or spirits). Every day I would always feel cold and alone, even when surrounded by people in a room – I couldn’t really explain it then, but I felt… Detached. Not from reality, but from my surroundings.
I’ll come back to the school bit soon, but I’ll need to explain a few things that led up to everything that happened. Every night when I went to bed I would always have the feeling that someone was watching me. Doesn’t sound all that strange, but I always had my door closed and I slept in the front …
Read Complete Story Here...Scary House Number 13
When I was in about grade 6, my family and I moved into a new home. I never liked that house since the first time I went in, but my parents insisted they were getting a great deal and we moved in. The house was also #13 on the block!
For the first year nothing too spectacular happened, although I could never get to sleep without my mother’s comfort, which was strange. The next year, when I was about 12 my mom had another baby. I used to have my room upstairs which, one of my little brothers and I slept in, in a bunk bed. One night I was sleeping on the top bunk, and my mom was putting my little brother to sleep on the lower bunk, as he was much younger than me and wanted her to put him to bed.
My mom and brother had both fallen asleep on the bottom bunk. But in the middle …

This incident happened while I was living in Darwin with my now fiancé about two years ago. I have always been a very spiritual person and quite in tune to my surroundings. Ever since I was a young child, I have been quite sensitive to spirits and vibes.
When we first got to Darwin, I noticed quite quickly, that there was quite alot of sprits hanging around. I used to work at a very popular hotel and had to walk past the grave yard every morning and evening on my journey to and from work. I was always drawn to a small grave , which looked very old and had what looked like a cot around it. In my minds eye, I would always see a baby boy sitting on the grave crying. While it didn’t really scare me, I stayed away as I believe in respecting the dead and their resting place.
The young baby, however, didn’t leave …

Attacked In My Dreams
I am from San Francisco. This attack was made in two forms. The really bad stuff was through dreams, but it did get physical as time went on. It all started with the Ouija board, or I could be wrong, I had an aunt involved in witchcraft I was around alot. I had a feeling of being watched for a few days then I began to have these dreams. I knew something was different about them because of how detailed they were. I didn’t pay attention at the time cause there is nothing out of the ordinary if a 10 year old has a bad dream. Soon enough things got weird and as time went on it gained power. I have my theories but I would like to stick to the facts on this letter.
I only recall two dreams but there were many. This is why I recall this one. I dreamt that I was a 10 year …
Read Complete Story Here...Ghost Woman In My Dreams And In My Closet
This story happened when I was 16. My parents were going through a divorce and she moved into my uncle’s two family apartment that he bought and when they split we moved in with our mother. My uncle lived on the second floor and my mother had the first.
The house was very old but was still in good shape. The room that I chose to stay in is a little hard to describe. When you walk into my room, I had my computer to the right and then it’s the closet so if you walk straight ahead in my room there was a doorway with no door into another room and to the left I had my bed and my TV. How I set up my bed is if you slept towards the edge of the bed you would see the closet into the other room and if you slept next to the wall you wouldn’t see into the …

I have never been so scared in my life, this happened to me when I was about 13.
I was over at one of my friends houses for her birthday party when we thought that we would go and play volleyball up on top of her hill which was the top of her driveway, (they were close to a lake so they were below the hill level).
It started to get dark and so we thought that we would go and play in the cornfield. We all split up and went into teams of three and then we all went and hid in the cornfield. About 10 minutes into playing the game, we all saw this beam of light flash, go up into the trees by their house, and then disappear. We all thought that it was just a passing car, so we decided to play on.
The lights began to keep persisting and we didn’t know what to do. …
Read Complete Story Here...Two Girls and a Ghost
Today’s story is about two girls who shared similar paranormal encounters at the same time as one another even though they were in different places.
Some time back in May or April 2007, I gave my friend a necklace. I had one for myself, they said “BEST” and “FRIENDS” like most girls do. I was 15 and she was 12 or 13. That night her and I went to bed, she lives next door.
I sat in my room as I did every night, a movie playing and my door just opened a little, almost closed. I was writing something and I had my cat on my bed. I started hearing a noise, like a rusty swing sound, and it was coming from my TV. I looked over at my door, it was moving back and forth, not closing not hitting that wall. For about two minutes I watched the door move. When it stopped my door was almost fully …
Read Complete Story Here...Something Strange In The Well
The strange story that I am about to tell chills me to the bone. When I was about 13-14 me, my dad, my mum and my brothers moved into an old house built in the early nineties because of money problems and also because the house was cheap.
This house had a well in the front yard and around the well there were really old oak trees and when the leaves fell into the water it made the water go all murky, but that wasn’t the part that scared me about this house. It was about what it was like inside the house. It was cold and dead silent even though there was a busy road outside. You could drop a pin and you would hear it and it always smelt sweet as if someone was consciously spraying lavender. Out the back there was a chicken pen which had bricks on the ground inside the pen but that didn’t bother …
Read Complete Story Here...The Ghost Woman Who Opened Doors
Hello, in 1965 my parents bought a farm in up state New York , we moved there from Vermont. That summer I turned nine years old. The farm hadn’t been lived in since 1952. The barn sat next to the road, and the house (a big old farm house sat 500 ft beyond that over a little wooden bridge). The kitchen was the first room through the door. Speaking of doors, the kitchen had eight, every room had at least two of them.
We were told that the original owner’s wife used to unlock and lock every door as she went thought them. That included the bathroom and every night before bed. When she died, as was the custom at the time, she was laid out in her casket in the front room for viewing before burial.
I got a feeling like I was being watched the first time I went into the house. Not much happened for awhile. Things …
Read Complete Story Here...The Caring Ghost
This ghost story all took place about 32 years ago in Seattle, Washington when I was 13 years old. You see, my mother was very abusive to me, always hitting me, whipping me with bull whips and giving me a few black eyes.
We moved into this house in a very nice neighborhood, but after we moved into the house I would hear some one walking down the hallways all night long. Any way, after getting one of my beatings from my mother I went to bed. I could not sleep because I was badly hurt and feeling ashamed of myself, thinking it was all my fault why I got the beating that night.
It was about 1 in the morning and everyone was a sleep except me, when I started hearing footsteps coming down the hallway. I thought it was my mother so I closed my eyes to pretend like I was sleeping so she would not find me …
