True Ghost Tales

The Thing in My Room

When I was about 9, I always felt some kind of bad vibe in my room. I tried telling my mom, but of course you know how mothers are… They don’t actually believe it until it happens to them.

It all started when I moved into an apartment with my mother after my father left. I was perfectly fine in my room, until November 1997. The new caretaker who lived under me was a witch. After she moved in, I’ve felt a bad vibe. I always heard feet shuffling on the carpet under my bed, scratching on the walls, and some morning I woke up with scratch marks all over my arms. I tried to tell my mom I heard things, but she just thought I was tired. I used to pass out on the couch, or at least faked. That’s because my mom would carry me into her bedroom. My mom used to leave my door wide open. When …

Ex-husband Haunting My Son and I

My ex-husband faked an accidental death almost two years ago. He worked as a lineman for an electrical company and had just finished the job on a power line. The company thought the death was accidental but recently he has come back and informed me that he actually killed himself that day.

At first he made it seem that there were people here trying to scare me (men). I put cameras all around the outside of the home and realized the objects and people were not moving for hours. Then they started to be in the attic and talk to me from the air vents. Breathing heavy, etc.

It just so happened that a neighbor told my son about a man dying in the home we live in and I realized then it was ghosts. One night they touched me as I was laying in my bed to sleep. I asked them if it was “Billy”, my ex-husband’s name, and …

The House of the Family

This house was in the family for maybe 40 years. The first who lived there was my grandmother and grandfather. Later a few years my uncle bought the house and rented it for maybe 10 years. Later he became an addict and the house was closure and was closed for maybe 5 years. Then my aunt bought it and rented it to my mom for 1 year and I get the last bedroom in the hall way.

In the first month I didn’t feel anything but in that time I have a boyfriend who gave me a doll who was sitying in one chair of wood. The first night I began to feel noises in my bedroom but I didn’t believe it was anything to be afraid of but the second I hear again the noise and that night I bought a night light and when I turned it on I see the doll was moving her legs to side …

Abandoned Rundown Mental Hospital

This story I cant say its really on the paranormal side just more the creepy and weird.

When I was about 19 me and a friend decided to check out a rundown mental hospital for the criminally insane. And just to quickly explain how we got in there without any trouble my friends father bought the land and was planning to demolish it so we took it as the last chance to see it as it was left over 30 years ago.

We got inside as it was just hitting dusk so we still did not need our torches yet and we could still make out our surroundings. At first we saw nothing out of the ordinary just tables, cabinets, hospital beds… etc. even medicine cabinets which from what we could tell had been raided.

After about an hour we needed our flashlights so we headed to the second floor. Making our way to the end of the corridor we …

Midnight Message

I live in Murietta California which is in Riverside Co. in Southern California. I have lived here for 3 years now and have had many experiences here. It is a new house and my husband and I are the first owners.

It was last year in the spring, I was alone because my husband was overseas in Iraq. My friend came over and we hung out for awhile and chatted it was around 11:00 pm when she left and I made sure everything was locked up and I went to bed. Well about 1:30 am it was as if something woke me up and somehow was telling me to go look out of the front window. This is a pretty big house and I didn’t want to get up and walk all the way through to the formal living room which faces the front yard, plus I thought maybe it was just my imagination.

I attempted to go back to …

Our Helpful Spirit

This story was told to me by my Grandmother (an absolute skeptic) from her father.

In the late 1950′s my grandmother and her family were living on a farm in West Virginia. Times were hard for them and money was getting tighter and tighter. The bank was getting ready to take the farm and leave them homeless.

My great grand father said one night he had a dream about a woman walking down the stairs of the home and trying to speak to him, but he heard nothing she said. He had this dream for several weeks and it was the same each time.

Then one night he fell asleep in a chair in the living room and he said he was awoken to see the lady walking down the stairs. Thinking he was still dreaming he tried to wake up. He finally realized he was awake and he noticed the woman pointing to the end of the banister of …

Experiences I Cannot Rationally Explain

I don’t have any answers, at least ones that I can articulate, however I have experienced the following things and cannot explain them rationally, I believe I am special, however I also, in the same breath believe that everyone is.

If you accept that when you are born you can do nothing, you live learn and develop, copying those around you, developing a field of reference, with boundaries, rules and reason that you pick up from those around you.

A baby cannot walk at birth, or after trying a few times, however after believe that it can, several attempts it can, I thought the same may apply to areas such as telekinesis, telepathy , and unlocking “whatever” it is we could do.

Without explaining myself in rambling detail, I have been given experiences and insights that give me this perspective and have always thought, felt and known there is more. I like many, ok, most people have , have got …

A Visit From My Angel Brother

When my twenty-seven year old brother died I developed a deep depression and so did the rest of my family. The night after we found out about my brother’s death and every one else was sleeping, I went to the front door and opened it leaving the screen door to take it’s place I stared into the dark night and wept my heart out for my brother.

I kept saying, ”Brother stay with me. Where ever I go I want your spirit to go with me. Please stay with me.” And all of a sudden I see a bright beautiful gold light that almost blinded my swollen (from crying) eyes and after the light goes away I see a handsome Angel with a beautiful white robe, a shiny gold halo on top of his (the angel’s) head, big white powerful wings, my brother’s handsome face and his dark hair and his feet floating.

I gasped and smiled at the handsome …

Demon Dog

Hi, I’ve never shared this story openly with too many people, so I am little scared to speak out! But it’s always there in the back of my mind. I try not to think about it, but ever since then I’ve been always watching paranormal anything, sometimes just to keep my own thoughts away!

I would say this was back in the late 80′s or early 90′s. I was 16, and my mother was a single mother with 3 kids and low-income and the house we had was an old wood house. My mom was a person who went to church very often and she made sure we did, we went to an all Catholic school and went to Catholic churches, mind you we were black and lived in Texas! Meaning we were the only black people in catholic school and church. So I guess as time grew on my mom stopped going to church. I think she became ill …

Terrified at Camp Molly Laumen

I just got home from a week long resident camp. During my stay at Camp Molly Laumen, I was the only girl in my entire unit who DIDN’T have anything creepy or scary happen to her. I’m super protective of everyone that I care about, and I’m normally protective of those I DON’T know also. Someone even started the rumor in my unit that if something happens, if you scream I’d be there in about three seconds with my killer flashlight (“killer” being the nickname they gave my Maglite).

It all started on Monday morning when my tent mate asked me if I saw anyone or heard anyone outside of our tent the night before. I told her the truth, I didn’t. She saw a man’s shadow out in the woods. I got off of my cot and went out to where she was pointing, no signs that anyone had been standing there. The ground was muddy and there wasn’t …

Shadows and Opening Doors

I am wondering if my house is haunted, is there such a thing as a shy ghost? I don’t feel a presence, or any strange feelings and I do not think it is haunted, but me and my daughter have experienced paranormal things.

My daughter was sitting in her room one day (it’s off from the den) and she happened to look into the den and she saw a black shadow peek out of the bathroom which is also off from the den. We could not explain it.

One day I was in the den and I was calling the dog, I saw the shadow of the dog on the carpet so I thought he was behind me. I turned but I did not see him, my daughter said he was in her room under the bed. What was the shadow that I saw?

Then we started having problems with my room door. My daughter was in my room and …
