Am I Being Affected By Something Evil?

When I was 13, I went through a terrible stage. I battled Anorexia, Depression/suicidal thoughts and insomnia. I used to be very outgoing (though at times shy) and cheerful, but as November passed by,  so did my happy moods.

I became depressed, and felt as though life was not worth living anymore. I became very dark and suicidal, wrote suicide notes and poetry, and avoided contact with anyone, if possible. I began to isolate myself, and as time went on, I began to create things for myself in my own world, I would talk to myself sometimes, and try to make “my world” seem much better, by making my self seem “much better”. Well this didn’t work.

I went through an insomniac stage, as I was having trouble in school, with friends, and family. I would take 3-4 Tylenol pills each day, just because I liked the queasy feeling I could get from those pills, and I thought they were …

The Ghost – Was She An Angel?

My name is Dean and I am 16 years old and I was born with a third eye. The third eye runs weakly in my family, most just being occasionally aware of spiritual presences (scent of candles or cemetery flowers), but not always.

I, on the other hand, was born with the innate ability to sense them and physically see them and occasionally speak with them. I have been seeing ghosts me entire sixteen years of living, my yaya even mentioned that as a baby and toddler I used to play with some unseen person. Though, I’m only going to talk about one particular ghost… a very special ghost.

The first time I saw this ghost was during grade four, and it was by my peripheral vision where I saw her black hair and the hem of her white dress. I would see her everywhere, in school, at the road, outside the window while the car was moving, etc.

Sad Man On The Highway

This is a paranormal experience I had a couple of years ago whilst driving with my mother to a dentists appointment on the North Coast of New South Wales. A lot of people who read this won’t know where that is as the location is in Australia.

My mother and I live in Brisbane, Queensland, which was about three hours from our destination that day.

My mum was driving me down to the dentist on the highway, it was a bit of a surreal day now that I think about it, it was really rainy. There were heaps of people on the motorway including a massive convoy of bikes (motor bike gang). They raced past us at a great speed, about 100 of them in the pouring rain. We watched in awe and excitement at all those chunky engines revving past!

As we progressed along the highway I felt sleepy and I was just looking out the window, watching the …

My Deceased Aunt Is Still Here

My Aunt Marci passed away tragically on 01/21/08. While crossing the street she was struck by a car that was speeding and lost control. She died instantly. It would be another one of those haunting cases where when someone dies tragically and they are confused about what has happened to them and they don’t know they are dead.

This first part of the story deals with my mom, brother, and sister. They were sitting up in the old attic room that used to belong to my oldest brother. While they sat there talking they heard someone come into the house. My mom, brother and sister were the only ones home at the time, so my mom sent my brother down to see who had come in. He searched the whole house but he found no one. He returned back upstairs and told my mom that he was not able to find anyone.

About five minutes later, after he returned, they …

A Ghost Saved My Aunt’s Life

Okay, so about five years ago my dad experienced a real ghost encounter. His aunt’s dad came in just for a visit with his daughter at work, and he ended up dieing there, because he was an old man.

That’s when my Dad starting experiencing these weird signs. He was sitting in his office and then he walked out with the light on. When he comes back to his office the light is completely shut off! He thought, oh its nothing, but it kept happening every time he walked out of his office.

So one night my Dad and my Grandpa had to stay late at work, and their offices are pretty far apart. My Dad went to go talk to my Grandpa about business and stuff, and then he went back to his office and the light was off.

My Best Mate That Stayed With Me

When I was 13 me and my best mate always spoke about ghosts and anything that involved them. One day when we were in school he said to me “what would you do if I had died?” where we had always joked about things like that, I just thought he was joking again, so I said, “I will dance on your grave and happy and make sure you visit me.”

That day he asked me again and I said the same thing and told him I would take that ring that his mum gave him and we started to giggle.

When I went home he rang me and said, “sorry.” At the time I didn’t know what he was talking about and we hung up. I didn’t sleep that night because I knew that there was something wrong.

The next day I went to school and he didn’t come in and when I was in my science lesson I was …

The Ghost Of Hazelhurst Lane

Hi my name is Chris and this is my story. I come from Chesterfield and used to live as a young child in Brimington, Chesterfield. When I was around 10 years old we moved to Stonegravels Chesterfield on Hazelhurst Lane. We moved to our new house on Hazelhurst Lane and I was happy to be moving home, but sad to leave my old life, but as kids are I wasn’t too upset.

At this time ghosts had never even entered my head and I wasn’t expecting what was to happen. On the first night we were unpacking all our things and I was upstairs in my new bedroom and everyone else was down stairs. I got on with my unpacking when I heard a “knock ,knock, knock,” on my bedroom wall, so I shouted what. No answer, so I shouted again and again no answer so I kept unpacking.

Then I heard it again. I thought it was my brother …

Now for the story.

I was only about 10 when I saw my first ghost. It was a Saturday night and I had stayed up late. It was about 11:30 when I decided I wanted to go to bed.

I looked down the hall and saw this image of a ghost. The ghost looked like he was carrying a sign and he also looked as if he was wearing a top hat. I was really scared by this point. I took a step back then I suddenly dropped my notepad. My eyes fixed onto the ghost, he turned.

As he …

Get Satan Off My Back

About 10 years ago, my skeptic mind was put to the test and my life changed. It was around 1997 when my colleague (Jen) and I went to Southampton, England for an art exhibition that was being held. Bear in mind, neither of us had been to this part of England before.

On the first evening we went down to the hotel bar quite late for some cigarettes and were pleasantly surprised to see the two staff drinking after finishing their shifts. Jen asked if we could have a drink and then we joined in their conversation. They were saying the hotel was haunted, so she suggested they hold a séance.

“All right then,” one of the barmen said. “We could set up a Ouija game. There’s a Scrabble set behind the bar, we could use the letters,” he suggested looking around at his colleague. His friend just half grinned but agreed.

The barman, who I shall call Mark (but …

Hauntings During Puberty

My experience with the supernatural began when I turned 13. At midday, I had a horrible dream about a witch that tried to smother me with a net. I couldn’t breathe and I remember kicking and trying to twitch my body so I could put myself in a waking state. Finally I woke up. This started a string of supernatural molestations that lasted until I was around 23 or 24 years old.

At the time my mother and father had left me with my aunts to go and work in another country. They left when I was 10 and came back when I was 15. In between I had a traumatic experience with relatives, puberty and my parents, who came back and with whom I had ceased to know.

I have my own room, and my experiences ranged from some unknown force blowing into my ear, hard knocking sounds on the surface of my cabinet, dashes of dark shadows flitting …

Sleep Over Ghost?

Once I was at my friend’s house at a sleepover and one minute we were all laughing and talking loudly and I remember not even feeling tired but then there was a flash of light and then pitch blackness.

I looked around and all of my friends were asleep, it was almost like I had been hurled forward a couple of hours into the future. I suddenly felt really thirsty, I was scared to get up so I tried to ignore it. I waited at least an hour but I just couldn’t get to sleep because I was so thirsty, in the end I got up and made my way to the living room door.

I turned the door handle and pushed the door open. The hall way was in complete darkness and I couldn’t see a thing. I felt my way around the wall but I couldn’t find the light switch. At this point I was seriously considering going …

The Old Lady’s Ghost

I come from New Zealand and in my younger years I went flatting with a few friends. The house we rented felt nice and cozy. As there were five of us living there, things were a bit cramped. I moved in with my boyfriend at the time and we were all settled in. There were no things out of the norm, in fact it felt really nice living there.

One night in particular, we went to bed and I couldn’t fall asleep as I felt a little unsettled. I wasn’t sure why but I lay awake for a while, my boyfriend had fallen asleep and as I lay there watching him I suddenly got the feeling someone was in the room. our door was shut and everyone else in the house was asleep.

I moved to roll away from him and as I looked down towards the end of the bed there was a very old lady in an old …
