Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

My Fathers Encounters with Lemurs

I don’t have much time left to send this so excuse any grammatical errors.

My father always claimed he was related to Leslie Grantham but I had always brushed him off and put it down to old age. It wasn’t until I was clearing his attic (he died two weeks ago) that I discovered some secrets I wish I could erase from my memory.

I found a couple of leather bound journals with various entries made between 1943 and 1945 where he talks about his friends Albert and Lettice. In fact, I have just realized that he never refers to Albert by just his first name. He always followed it with Lemur. I assumed this was a surname name but at the back of the book it has a list of “Lemurs” where it lists six names including Albert Frost 1927 and Lettice Armitage 1899. I figured this was a list of the Lemur family but after further research it …

Haunting in Iwakuni Japan

This the true accounts that I experienced in the outer woods of Iwakuni, Japan in 2004. I was in the Marine Corps as a Sergeant stationed at Iwakuni, Japan. While stationed there I met a fellow Sergeant that I struck up a friendship with and we started hanging out. We would go on camping trips to nearby rivers and go on different adventures. On one night we were just hanging out at the barracks and had been drinking a few beers. Among the conversation my friend named Sonny began to tell me about a story of the seven seven haunted houses. Of course I am thinking just another scary story. Well the story goes:

Years back there was a famous doctor that had become very wealthy through his practice. With this wealth he built houses way out in the desolate woods for close family. There were seven different families that had houses built. In later years the doctor began to …

The Old Hag Came in Threes

The “Old Hag” or “Witch on Your Back” has absolutely nothing to do with seizures or paralysis.

Basements have always made me feel uneasy. When they are dark it seems as if someone is there. When I was 13 I moved into the basement despite my protests, it was a brand-new house my parents said. Nothing could go wrong. Weird minor things happened. I ignored them because it was a basement it was normal for these things to happen in my mind. Smoke out of the corner of your eye. Shutting the door hearing it latch to find its still open…

I was painting my bedroom so I slept in the unfinished spare room. I don’t know how many nights went by before this happened but I didn’t know what to do when it did. I woke up tingly from head to toe. I tried to move my arms but it was like they were pinned by my side. There …

Repeated Instances of Shadow Figure and Paralysis

Around 3 years ago, while still living with my parents near Chesterfield, I awoke one night to see what looked like a black figure stood next to my bed. I could see a black outline of an average size figure, but I could also very clearly see a face. It appeared to be a man, and he had a rather sinister look on his face. He was just starring at me. I jumped out of my bed but as soon as I did so, the figure had gone. I passed it off as it was just me seeing things…

About a year later, still in the same room, I again woke up to see a hooded shadow figure at the end of the bed. I began to panic, as it seemed as if I could not physically move at all, like was glued to the bed. I attempted to call out to my parents but I couldn’t even speak. I …

A Paranormal Affair

Have you ever been awaken by a noise or touch that felt so real you’d swear it just happened? but wasn’t sure if you were dreaming or not? Well, in the past several years I’ve had some really strange things happen to me, usually while I’m sleeping but also at times while I’ve been awake, and I have to admit it’s really making me start to question my sanity, although I believe in ghosts and have had several encounters with them.

I have been married for 22 years, but seem to have a ghost or so I think, that has been trying to get close to me for several years now, this is some of the things that has happened…

The other night I had some trouble getting to sleep, but when I did I awoke to what felt like a man kissing my leg,I thought it was my husband and fell back to sleep, but that morning I had …

The Endless Forest and the Horrible Golden Eye

I had never been hunting before, and I was so very young at the time. I’d practiced with my twenty-two riffle and what not out in the back, but I’d never actually ventured into a forest to hunt for squirrels or rabbits. I wanted to hunt so bad, and finally one day, my friend Traylon Vincent asked his father if he would take me on their next father-son hunting trip. Jimmy accepted, and Traylon and I made our way up to a part of North Texas. I really had no idea where we were at the time, I knew it was about an eight hour drive, and I had fell asleep. When we got there, Jimmy told me to call my mother and let her know we’d made it to his cabin ok. I love nature, but there was a very ominous feeling about this forest when I stepped out of their truck, it was like this familiar whisper was …

Are These Paranormal Experiences?

I need some advice. I haven’t had anything huge happen to me yet, but I would like to know if any of my experiences are paranormal…

First off, my parents have always said I have a sixth sense. When they went on a trip up north I had stayed with my grandparents. I had a dream about a wolf on a hill, I had called my parents for no reason, just to say good night and stuff and I told them about my dream. They were surprised because they said that they recently just saw a wolf running up a hill and how amazing and beautiful it looked standing there. I have had a lot of experiences like this where I have felt as if I had seen things before in dreams and they come true.

My first experience that might be paranormal occurred at this state park we went to for a church family camp. We spend a weekend …

My House My True Real Life Ghost Story

This is my ghost story and I’m only 15 but I can promise that I’m not messing with anyone. I don’t care if you believe me but this is my true real life ghost story. I guess we can just start with when we moved in the house I’m currently living in things seemed pretty normal. I don’t recall getting any bad feelings but take into count that we were living in a trailer and suddenly we could get a huge house in was remarkable.

Things were wonderful not a ghost in sight, that was until my dad built our stairs. It must have made something angry because from that point forward myself and would sit up at night listening to foot steps running up and down our stairs. Then it turned into things coming up the stairs and going to my parents door and my dad would open the door and nothing.

We eventually learned to ignore it but …

Ghost at Graphic Design Studio

Okay to begin this story, I have to tell you the back-story to the location the ghost was seen.

I live in Australia (I’m 18), I was in year 10 at school, and so I was 15 at the time. The school I was going to made us take a week of work experience at a job we were interested in. Unlike my friends who just went to work with their dad’s, because it was an easy choice, I did it the right way and researched many places. After much searching I found a place not to far from my house that dealt with graphic design, which I was interested in.

This graphic design studio was located in a very run down building that looked scary as it was, but had a much scary past. Before it was a graphic design studio, it used to be a house to an old lady about 80 of years ago, the house was …

Old Ghost Wants to Contact Me?

First off, I want to say that I’m not a professional writer, and I am only sixteen. I haven’t had any experience of this particular ghost or demon since I was 9. I also cant find anymore information from my family about this ghost as they have always refuse to talk about it, until recently, but a lot is still unclear. I would also like to add these event are not in chronological order, but are only ordered how they link to each other.

Firstly I want to give some background information on where I lived, and the house. I live in Chepstow, Wales. there are a lot of old buildings and have heard of several hauntings but have never  thought to look into them. My house was build in 1994, just a few months before I was born. It was separate from the other builds. As my dad bought the land and built the house with other family builders/plumbers …

A Grandmothers Good Bye

Well Hello Again, My name is Crystal and I’m also the writer of Haunted Ranch in Falfurrias Texas. Well in my last story I had mentioned my grandparents having a huge ranch, and how it seemed to be haunted. I also mentioned that my grandmother had passed away. Me and my grandmother were extremely close. She was the queen bee she always knew what to do and say to bring together our whole entire family. Even if there was drama she always would fix the problem.

I’m sadden that her life ended at the age of 68. She was a diabetic. her favorite holiday was Easter and for some strange reason that was the only holiday that the entire family could make it and be with each other. She had 9 children. Well to get to the point Easter was right around the corner and it was a surprise because we for the first time me and my parents …

Little Green Haunted House in Lancaster Ohio

When I was a little girl we moved from a yucky gray house on Allen Street in Lancaster, Ohio to A house up the street across from North school with beautiful mint green shingle siding, black trim,a brick porch and azalea bushes in front. when we went to the house the first time there were hummingbirds in the bushes. I loved this house so much I cried. (I was five) I said mommy, do we really get to live here?

She said, we move in tomorrow, lets look inside. So I hopped up the two level red brick porch through the front door right into the realm of the paranormal !

I loved my house, I loved my yard with the ivy and apple trees  and the old lady next door with the butter scotch candy. How could I tell my Mother that if I went upstairs for something after dark, that on the way back downstairs I would feel …
