Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Loud Buzzing Noise Demon Cat?

This happened in November of 2010, and I would like to get a wider opinion on what it could have been than my disbelieving family.

It was around 11 at night and I was babysitting a little girl who I have known for over two years, and before then I had never had a problem in the house (despite horrific babysitting clichés).

It was a really hot, humid day and the house still hadn’t cooled down by 11 so all the windows and doors were open, and being in Western Australia the house had quite a number of flies in it.

I was watching TV and I heard a loud buzzing noise, like a fly so I looked over towards the sliding glass door because I thought that a fly making that much noise would be visible from where I was sitting on the couch. My eyes locked on a cat sitting just outside the door, perfectly still, staring at …

Haunted Michaels Craft Store

I use to work at Michaels Craft Store before it closed down in Montclair California. I was a manager there at the time, here is my ghost story.

One day before doors open for business, I was setting up a new end cap when I started to hear the women’s bathroom door slamming and water turning off and on, also the trash can was being tossed around against the walls. I ran upstairs as fast as I could to tell another manager what was going on, when she heard this she also told me that this place is haunted. We went to check it out, but nothing was disturbed.

Later that day, I was alone again when I heard my name whispered in my ear, it sounded like a man’s voice, I don’t remember jumping off that later.

Another time about 5 employees including me, were working the night shift. While I was standing with one other manager, we heard …

Growing Up With Ghosts 2

You may remember my other article, “Growing Up With Ghosts” on this website. With the little boy who ran into the closet and the “Santa” in the attic. Well, I figure it’s about time that I update you on what’s gone on in my house lately.

In one bittersweet turn of events, the ghosts appear to have slowed down. But, not without things building up first. The last couple years have been VERY eventful.

I have seen the woman that I mentioned in “Growing Up With Ghosts”. She wears a lacy light blue gown and her hair is long and curly. She resembles a younger woman, but she seems about 35-40 just by the feel of the room when I see her.

I awoke one night to a cold chill across from my bed, slamming on my back (not a real hard force, just like a wind blowing). I immediately rolled over to see this woman standing in …

Something Dark Has Followed Me

When I was younger, I would see this big black figure, it was very tall, tall enough that as I laid in bed and saw it coming from around the corner, its head nearly touched the ceiling. (so about 6 1/2 feet) I used to get paralyzed by it. It would stand next to my entertainment stand and seemingly stare at me. I would have dismissed these occurrences, but when my brother had that room before I did, he saw something too and that was when he moved back upstairs to his old room.

This happened often, I even had dreams about it to where I’d try to run up the stairs from it, but my feet would stick to the stairs and it would slowly come at me. Before I moved out of my moms house, I saw it again and tried to run through it to get away and go upstairs and have felt this… darkness inside of …

The Hat Man and Different Things

I am a religious person. Back home I have been raised Roman Catholic but since 12 years I converted myself to Islam, All thanks to Him the All Mighty. I always believed in another world and that we were not alone in this world. From childhood till now. The Islam acknowledge the other world which is parallel with our world, the name Allah chose for them are Djinn. You have good ones but also very bad ones.

A few months ago I was in bed sleeping and suddenly I woke up catching my breath that sounded very loud… and I went straight up sitting in my bed and next to me there was a big, tall man standing in black with a hat. I was not that afraid when I saw him… and I know I saw him and after a few seconds he was gone.

I started to ask people around me who it could be what I have …

Ghost Face in a Texas Farm House

I grew up in a small Texas town, when I moved out on my own I rented this huge farm house and I loved that it was 30 minutes from town with plenty of room so my kids could just run and be free with no worries. Growing up everybody knows everybody literally and the people I rented the house from came from the New York area. They had bought the house from the bank when the original owner had passed away it was a bitter battle between the mans family “children” and the new owners and in a small town you know everyone’s business before they do. I knew the circumstances the owners were going through and I didn’t think it was right what had happened, but the price was right and everything else.

There were three houses built on the property for the old mans children and they were all forced out by the new owners in an …

The Lady in Black

It happened during the summer of 2010. Well to be more specific it happened somewhere in the middle of July of that year. I was staying at my uncle John’s house for the weekend that night. It was roughly about midnight and I was lying down with my two cousins in bed listening to music. I can’t sleep at all until I listen to some songs on my ipod, that’s just how I am. One of the girls was on the edge of the bed and the youngest one was in the middle, and then I was against the wall.

After I finished listening to my music I put my ipod up and then turned to face both of my cousins so I could sleep. Then quite literally out of nowhere I saw this mist begin to form in front of the fan. The fan is one those that stands up on like a pole and turns if you press …

Mary Buth Haunted House Story

Note: the first part is a summary by me, and the other one is the actual story, told by my brother. I had him type it up for me. I wasn’t there, but I wish I was.

My Version:

My brother and his friends went to Germantown to stand outside the Mary Buth house. Apparently she was a woman murdered by her husband dating back to the civil war, and legend has it that you can hear shoveling sounds in the backyard or in the barn because he buried her there. Lights have been known to flicker off and on, and figures have been seen in the house. My brother and his friends saw a black figure walking back and forth across the room, like a huge black mass, and it actually stopped and stared at them, which totally creeped them out and they also saw a doghouse. Story goes her dog still watches over her grave even in death.…

My Possible Baby Brother

When I was around 10 years old back in 1969, I shared a room with my older sister whom was around 17 at the time. I don’t recall this happening but remember the story well as she told me the next morning. I will call her Sherry.

She told me that she had awoken in the middle of the night and tossed and turned. She felt as if something or someone was watching her. She went to sit up in bed, and seen a figure of a small boy around 3 – 5 years old standing at the end of the bed, looking towards her. She continued by saying that it scared her so much she laid back down and covered her head for a minute or two. She glanced back out and the figure was still there. She said she got up and came over to my bed and tried nudging me awake. But I wouldn’t awaken. She turned …

The Activity I Witnessed was not Normal

Paranormal? Activity I Witnessed Was Not Normal in Any Sense of the Word

The movie Paranormal Activity and its sequel has people talking. It has created quite a sensation in the entertainment world. There will be imitators, no doubt, producing similar movies; I expect friends will be exchanging accounts of their own paranormal experiences.

I used to think that nothing extraordinary ever happened in my life; that changed one night, quite a few years ago; the memory of that night has stayed with me ever since. I went out with a group of friends after work and we decided to go to a local “food and beverage establishment.” It was rather an unremarkable building, not much bigger than a small, two-bedroom bungalow and not very old.

This building is still standing, quietly, on a corner near the waterfront in the old whaling town of Port Jefferson, Long Island, New York. You could easily overlook this tiny place were it not …

My Scary Experience

The year was 1974. Me and my husband had just settled down for the night, It was 11 pm and I really wasn’t tired yet but my husband was so I got into bed anyway.

I was just laying there for about a half an hour when I saw a weird light on the ceiling. I thought there was someone outside shining a flashlight through the window which was above the headboard of my bed so I sat up and looked out the window but no body was out there so I laid back down and that light was still there, I just stared at it. But now it started descending down towards me. As it got closer I could see a face inside of a smoky grey colored cloudy (what ever it was) and a hand and arm only up to the elbow and the hand was reaching out to me as  it was trying to get me to …

Completely Powerless to Move and an Evil Presence

One night several months ago I was just about to fall asleep, I was not in a particularly good or relaxed mood but when I got into my bed I felt a warm comfort encompass me and immediately felt myself starting to fall asleep. Looking back on it the feeling was much more than falling asleep, it was loosing consciousness.

I remember thinking how black the darkness was in my eyelids for a moment before I was slipping away. Then a few things started to happen simultaneously; there was a slight ringing in my ears, and my body started to shake (I’ve often felt this before, very strange, physical whole body vibration), and very quickly did both of these increase. The ringing became louder in increments as the vibration turned into an all out violent shake that was shaking me in the air and the ringing became and unbearable, unworldly screeching painful thing. At the same time as these things …
