Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

The Ghostly Bus Passenger Who Disappeared

This was a ghost story that my late father in law told me nearly twenty years ago, his story goes back some twenty years before that he mentioned his ghostly tale to me. Around 1975 he was working as a bus driver in and around the Durham area, but this story is not about him rather a good friend of his who too was a bus driver for the same bus company.

On a late summers evening around about 10pm my father in laws friend, who was called Peter, was making his way back to the depot down the country lanes of Durham, he was driving a single decker bus the bus had a door for entry and a door further along the bus for passengers to exit the bus. With the bus empty of passengers as it was his last run back towards the bus depot office. As he was driving along he noticed a young lady at a …

Is My Mind Playing Tricks on Me?

I live with my boyfriend and his family and strange things have started to happen. His parents have told me about hearing whispering and things going missing and popping up randomly. There is a basement and an attic. I sleep in the attic and everyone else sleeps on the main floor.

We were watching TV and my boyfriend’s mom’s husband pulled out his phone and had a ghost radar application on it. We used it and there would be different colored dots for how close or strong an entity would be. Then at the bottom right hand would be a places where random letters would scroll and it would be the entities talking. I didn’t believe it worked. After about 10 minutes of no ghost activity I shouted, “Come and get me boogey man. You want a piece of me Candy man”, just trying to be funny. The screen had like 5 dots indicating spirits and a weird feeling came …

The Man Whos Eyes Were Big Black Orbs of Death

Well I guess there’s no easy way of saying this, my house is haunted. No one else will believe me so I hope you will.

It all started when I was left home alone, on one cold November night. I was washing up some dishes before my parents got home when all of a sudden the dish that I was holding flew half way across the room into a wall. How could that happen? I began picking it up when a cold shiver shot down my back. I thought nothing of it, so I went back to work, on picking up the broken dish. I had gotten all picked up, and had finished the dishes, I shut off the light, and that’s when I heard it. “Katie”, that’s my name, but yet I was the only one in the house how could that possibly be?

Was I going insane? No that was for real. By now I was getting pretty …

Understanding and Dealing with Night Terrors

It’s almost time for bed – but terror is striking your heart because you know that there are horrifying images and perceptions waiting around the corner of deep sleep.

Or you may be plagued by nightmares that surface just as you drift off out of the waking world. Either way, you are now switching through the channels on the television, putting off that inevitable moment when sheer exhaustion takes over.

If this sounds like your nightly routine, you may be suffering from one of two sleeping issues that affect many people worldwide in all walks of life and of all ages – recurring nightmares or night terrors. There has been some confusion that the two are one and the same, however that is a misconception.

Nightmares and Night Terrors occur independently of each other in different stages of sleep. Night terrors happen in the stage just before REM sleep. It is an extremely deep stage of the sleep process in

My Yorkshire Siting

When I was about the age of eight, my family and I moved to Yorkshire to a fairly big town and lived in a large old-fashioned house. I used to hate going upstairs on my own after school and I had to ask someone to go with me because I always had the eerie feeling that someone was following me. There were three floors. My room was like the size of a cupboard and I always felt safest there and in the kitchen.

Anyway, one night, after living there for a year and having some strange experiences like doors opening and closing and unexplainable shadows forming, I felt a presence in the living room.

My family’s friends had just gone home after a dinner party at around 11 o’clock at night, and I was saying goodnight to my parents. As I sat on the sofa I felt a heavy weight sit on the other side and I saw dip in …

Encounter With Red Eyed Creature

The bear that wasn’t there

When I was in my mid teens, me and two buddies would buy beer and wine (one of my buddies was old enough to buy it). Then we would either go down a deserted road to a lake and camp in the car and build bomb fires and have a blast.

One week end we decided to go to a different place. When they put a new road through above where we all lived, they straightened out some corners on this road. And that left parts of the old road, that were by that time good for driving on to and hiding out of sight of the main road. Well that night we pulled the car down behind some trees and keep the fire low, so no one could see it. The place really creeped us out.

We all had a feeling we were being watched, and kept hearing weird noises. Well we drank some …

Vampires in Chinese Mythology

Characteristics and Details about Chinese Vampires

The Chinese vampire differs greatly from its western cousins.

The Witching Hour

It was the summer of ’09, it started on a bright sunny Friday afternoon. It was nice out and my day off so I decided to take a walk down town and go to the book store. I spent a good few minutes just browsing until I got to the paranormal section. On the top shelf in the left corner I found it, it was an old, thin, dusty book, that had the word “Witchcraft” printed on it. No authors name, or date of being published. It was priced $9 so I thought, why not, and I bought it.

I went to a convenience store got a few snacks and then plopped myself down on my favorite seat in town. It was right by the old movie theater, it had a view of main street, the bridge and you could still see the sky. I made myself comfortable and open the book, the first page was blank, the second page …

Goodrich Cemetery

I had heard That Goodrich Cemetery at 37mile in Michigan was haunted. My brother and his friends go there all the time and they said that there is a ghost girl that haunts the whole cemetery. They said her name was Nancy. They went there about a month ago. When they were there they took a video camera so they could record everything so they could show people. In the video they said “Nancy if you are here, give us a sign.” A few seconds later, you could hear this really deep voice breathing. They also heard chains coming from under neither a tree. There was a lot of weird things and weird noises.

So anyways a weeks ago I decided to go there and check it out. It was about 9 and there is this really long road you have to go down to get to the cemetery. On that road there is an insane asylum and I think …

Nick told us that it would be for a few days. However a few days has turned into several months. Nick cannot live with his father because his new stepmother does not like him. Nick tried to live with …

Near Death Experiences NDE

Many people think of life in three parts… you are born, you live, and you die.

Thoughts of life after death vary among people, but those three elements are always present. However, there are those that take a “detour” so to speak.

A significant number of people have come extremely close to crossing the plane between life and death without taking that final step. Some say they have come so close to it that they could see what was beyond this life, if only for a few moments.

When Does Death Occur?

There is of course the debate of when death actually occurs.

Medically, death has been classified into several different types over the years, and in some ways has made the question of when life ends even more confusing. Generally someone is “clinically dead” when the heart and lungs are no longer working, but there could still be resuscitation under certain circumstances

Many times it has been in these …
