The Haunted Log Cabin
I live in a log cabin in Bell Subdivision in Monticello, Kentucky. I don’t know what year the house was built, but it’s pretty old.
The first time I ever experienced anything was when I was about 10 years old. My mom and I were laying in my bed one night and we were both sound asleep. I woke up because I needed to go to the bathroom. So I sat up in my bed and all of a sudden I heard what sounded like a harmonica playing and it sounded like it was coming from the living room. There was no one else in the house but me and my mom at the time, so needless to say, I was pretty scared.
The next day I talked to one of my mom’s friends and she told me that her kids grandpa had died in my house and that he had died in my bedroom. She also said that he …
Read Complete Story Here...Native American Indian Ghosts
I am writing this story on the behalf of an ex-co-worker of mine who I find to be very sane and credible.
I was working at a solar field located close to Barstow California, in the Mojave desert. One day at work we were talking about ghosts and creepy things like that. While we were talking about them my co-worker said yeah you guys probably won’t believe me but this place is haunted. I personally had no reason to doubt him. I’m one who thinks with an open mind and also had a previous ghostly experience.
He said that one day around 2 p.m. he was checking on an area making sure that things were working right, when all the sudden he heard what sounded like coyotes yelping and howling. He said he thought to himself that it was pretty odd to hear coyotes howling and yelping around 2 p.m. coyotes only yelp and howl at night and early in …
Read Complete Story Here...Uncle Phil’s Ghost Watches Over My Dad
In January 2006 my dad had a blood clot removed from his brain which was causing him to have mild speech strokes. After he got out of the hospital my girlfriend came to stay with us for two weeks. I have put stories on here before and do believe that ghosts exist.
My girlfriend, who has a gift for seeing ghosts, told me one night that she saw a white figure standing outside my dad’s bedroom. She got scared and I held her for a little bit until the scare went away. I told her it was probably either my grandpa or one of my dad’s brothers. I am LDS and believe that it is natural for deceased family to watch over their living loved ones. So I went on not worrying about it.
One and a half years later we were talking about it and she said, she still couldn’t figure out why the ghost was bent over as …

During my stint in the Navy I was on an ammunition ship (USS Kilauea) in the Indian Ocean somewhere near Vietnam around early 1974.
Myself and two friends were out on the Foxhull (bow of the ship), it was dark, around 9 pm probably. There was little or no moon but millions of stars like always out there. We were in a group with a destroyer and a carrier, I think the USS Mason DD, and maybe the Oriskany.
This story and all comments have been moved to the Aliens and UFOs website:

Mary’s Ghost My Girl’s Imaginary Friend
When my little girl told me that she had a friend called Mary I was very happy to know she was making new friends at her new school, but when she started to talk to herself in her bedroom I began to get worried.
One night I called my little girl down for tea. She asked me, “can Mary sit here?” But I could not see anything. I asked her where is Mary, she pointed to the empty seat, this was supposed to be where Mary sat normally. My little girl would talk to us but she carried on talking to nothing.
Later on that evening I put my little girl to bed. I was half way down the stairs when I could hear my little girl singing Mary Quite Contrary but there was another voice singing it with her. I was very petrified. I told my husband about what happened that evening but he didn’t think anything of the …
Read Complete Story Here...The Sorg Opera House Ghosts
My dad owns this really amazing place in Middletown, Ohio. Its called the Sorg Opera House, it was owned by a very rich man named Paul J. Sorg. My dad bought the place with his partner last year in November 2007 when I was 15 years old. I’ve only had a few experiences there but I know that there is something there that we can not explain.
First of all the ballroom is haunted by an old bartender. I’m not sure what year he died or when he bartended there. Sometimes I stay in the ballroom with some friends over night. Sleepovers can be fun in an old spooky place. I was in the game room of the ballroom, and my friends, Kristin and Boggs, were in the other part sitting on the stage. I was playing guitar hero, and felt something touch my shoulder. It got kinda cold, so I ran over to them.
Kristin has had a little …

OK, this all starts when I was about 6 (first grade) and I had gone to bed and was in a deep sleep and I recall it being around 3:15 in the morning and then all of a sudden, something kind of warm jerked me up, like as if to say “Amaya,wake up, please, wake up” and then I heard footsteps like none in my family (these footsteps were VERY soft, and my family’s footsteps are VERY loud). I heard the footsteps, about 10 of them and then a cup taken from the cupboard, then the sink turned on and off, and then the cup slammed VERY loudly on the table and shattered.
The next morning; I asked my parents if they had gotten up and they had replied “no” (my family has NO records of sleep walking) and I told them about what had happened that night. My mom was shocked (my father still isn’t a believer even though …
Read Complete Story Here...My Dog Ghost Encounters
On my first birthday I received a dog named Cody. He was a year older than me. When I slept in my crib, he slept under my crib with my other dog Rocky until we sold him and got Ariel. Ariel slept under the crib too, but when we first got her they would let the new puppy sleep in the crib with me.
This is where the sad story begins: When I was 9 I came home from school ready to play with my dogs, but then when I asked where Cody was, they said they had found him dead in his cage.
I ran out side just in time to see his limp body go into the ground and be covered with dirt. I cried myself to sleep every night for about a week, until while I was doing my home work I heard whining. I looked at Ariel asleep in her cage. I looked at my side, …

Hi! My name is Morgan! This all started when I was home alone one morning. I was about 11 years old. I was in my bathroom brushing my teeth, when I thought I heard my toilet flush behind me. I turned around expecting to see an intruder, but there was nothing there. I thought maybe that there was a problem with the pipes, but not after this happened:
So, I went into my bedroom and went to pick out the clothes I was going to wear, when the drawer opened and the clothes I was going to wear flew out of my drawer and landed in a very neat pile in the middle of my floor! I started freaking out!
I went downstairs and called my friend. I was crying and all upset! Just then, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I thought maybe it was my mom or something, I wasn’t quite sure. I went to turn around, …

Last year my daughter was diagnosed with cancer at the age 15 months. After a short five month battle with this disease she passed away at 20 months.

Read Complete Story Here...Ghost In My Grandmother’s Trailer
I live in a town in Northern Minnesota. We have many, paranormal events that happen here. Our town is located on the shores of a pretty big lake. The land has been occupied by a small tribe of Native American Indians for the past forty thousand years or so.
My grandma lived in a small two bedroom trailer home located on some land that our family lived on for the last hundred years or so. She has a forest for a back yard. The trailer house was fairly new, maybe about seven years old or so. Nobody ever died in it or got hurt there.
I decided to pay a visit to dear old Grandmother one day in early Spring. I drove down the dirt road, pulled up in the driveway and honked the horn twice to announce that I was coming. The old people can tell who’s car is coming just by the way the horn sounds.
I didn’t …
