My Neighbor’s Ghost Still Visits
Submitted to us by Dave
I moved into my apartment about 10 years ago when I was 14 years old around April 1997. The woman that lived here before moved one floor down because she was getting older and didn’t want to climb an extra flight of stairs. She only lived here part time, most of the year living on Long Island.
On Halloween night she was traveling on her way here when she was in a terrible accident and after a weeks coma she died.
A few months later I was laying in my bed getting ready to go to sleep when I heard a woman’s voice call my name clearly in my ear. I knew I was alone in the house so every hair on the back of my head just stood up and I screamed. Needless to say I slept with the lights on that night.
I have sat in the living room or kitchen and either …
Read Complete Story Here...Little Girl Ghost In A White Gown
Submitted to us by Dallas
When I was a little girl, I was laying on the couch reading a book at about mid-night. When I finally got tired, I sat my book down, turned out the light, and then got comfortable. When I was laying there, I heard a weird creaking sound. I opened my eyes and I looked down the hall to where the bathroom is and I saw a little girl in a white night gown standing by the bathroom door.
I didn’t know of any little girl that died in our house so I was kind of freaked out at first. So I sat there staring at her as she stared at me and she held her hand out, and she turned, and walked into the bathroom and disappeared.
A couple of nights later she was there again and this time she was closer to me. It really freaked me out so I decided to sleep with …
Read Complete Story Here...Old Man Ghost On Bike
Submitted to us by Elizabeth
I was riding with my friend Ashley around 9:00 pm going to my work to pick up my paycheck. The road between my house and work is a wooded road pretty long and boring. Anyway, as we were driving I saw an old man on a bicycle.
I was about to tell my friend Ashley to watch out for him when he just vanished. I tried to tell her, but she thought I was just kidding around with her.
I remember he was wearing a red coat, blue pants and a hat. It was all too real. I wish I would see him again to find out why he hasn’t gone over yet. It happened so quick but ill remember it forever.
Read Complete Story Here...The Haunted Garage
Submitted to us by Michelle
Well, I never did believe my sister when she told me she thought her garage was haunted.
Now, I’m not the only one who saw this happen, but my sister and my Aunt as well. We were just sitting there in the garage around the table talking when all of a sudden the top flies off of my aunts bottle (the screw down kind) no one touched it, no one moved the table.
This happened all on its own. Kinda spooky! Ok so I was still in disbelief until she lit the candle. The candle was fine for the first couple minutes it was lit, but then man, I tell you what, I have never seen anything like that in my life. The candle just all of a sudden starts flickering like crazy, but the funny thing is no one was moving or talking to make it flicker. I got so scared that I had …
Read Complete Story Here...Our Haunted House Seven Years In Hell
Submitted to us by Stacy
I have always lived a poor life, so when we moved to a big house, I was excited. We knew a lot about the house, because a lot of family members used to live there. We know of two old women who died in my uncles room, and a teenager hanged herself in my closet. (back in the 70′s)
We have always heard footsteps down the hallway, and it was always cold in the kitchen. I saw the first ghost when I was washing the dishes, and my little sister was drying. We both were talking when we saw a little boy running in our backyard. We thought he was going to run into the motel wall (the house is next to a motel). We ran outside worried, but no one was there.
The second time, I was walking to the kitchen when I looked over and saw a huge shadow of a guy in …
Read Complete Story Here...My Ghostly Experience at Grandma And Grandpa’s House
Submitted to us by Shakira
I was at my grandma’s and grandpa’s house. I was watching the Simpsons when my guard dog molly started barking (she was supposed to be watching the show!). When I looked over at molly I felt a terrifying chill down my spine. Why? Because when I looked over I saw the door knob moving. So I went up stairs to get a bat. When I got down stairs I looked at the door knob and it was moving, but when I looked closer there was no one moving the knob.
Molly kept on barking and when I looked down in the basement I saw a shadow. I ran up stairs to put the bat away so I could run home and tell somebody, but when I went outside the wind was chilly and when I looked up at the window to my room I saw someone standing there staring at me with this chilling glare …
Read Complete Story Here...My Husband’s Ghost Returns
Submitted to us by Marie
I am a single mom, with two children Jamie and AJ, they’re both 12 and 8. A few months ago my husband died.
A few days ago, down where his office was where he spent most of his nights there working, I heard banging most of the time because when he got angry he would bang the table!
I thought it was a burglar so I got a bat and rang the police! I went down stairs to see if it was a burglar but I found to see nobody there. I tried to open the door but it was locked. I always leave the door wide open and leave the keys on my locker.
I ran upstairs and the keys were gone. I ran into Jamie and AJ, they started to say’ “daddy stop please stop”, but no one was there.
I started to get scared thinking that he was really there. Then I …
Read Complete Story Here...The Haunted Church
Submitted to us by Koko
I was at my friend Cheyenne’s house and it was around Halloween. We were telling scary stories and decided to go outside.
She lived in the country on an older street. Right next to her house was an old abandoned church from 1913. As we walked by we thought we heard something coming from the church but just ignored it.
It was getting dark so we started a bonfire with her sister Chelsea and her friend Shannon. We were playing truth or dare and Cheyenne got dared to go in the house. She wouldn’t go in unless all four of us went.
There were two doors and both were bolted shut so we had to go through a broken window. When we got inside it smelled nasty and was very dark and cold, all we had for light was a little flash light.
We were rummaging through some old stuff when Chelsea screamed. We all …
Read Complete Story Here...A Story of Witch Craft
Hi you may have remembered me from the last story I sent. As I said in my last story many things have happened to me and my family and some times still occur. The story I’m about to tell you also happened a long time ago. It was a story my mom told me about when she was a child.
Again, as I also mentioned in my last story, my family had a history of “brujeria” meaning witch craft. Now this isn’t a real long story but it is true, you see my mom’s grandma on her mother’s side used to practice witch craft and one day she told my mom and her sisters to move out of the way because satan was going to pass by.
My mom was young and innocent at the time and didn’t know what her grandma meant by ‘satan’. Moments later a white dog passes through the living room in front of them and …

I was so shocked I froze and couldn’t get a sound out of my …

Read Complete Story Here...Ghosts In The Delta Chelsea Hotel
Submitted to us by K.
Hello, here is my story. My parents and I went to Toronto for a week because my mom had broken her foot and needed the hospital there, I was 13.
We stayed at the Delta Chelsea there for a couple of nights, and on the 3rd night I believe, I woke up in the hotel room and I saw a really dark figure in the corner of the room leaning over my dad’s part of the bed and moving around, like he was packing. I figured it was my dad but something wasn’t right.
So I called to him “dad?” over and over again but he didn’t even look at me. Then on the eighth call I woke my mom and she yelled at me. I ignored it and I asked very worried if dad was still in the bed with her. I heard my dad grunt and sigh and I looked back up at …
