Demonic Face on the Wall
I don’t remember how old I was but I think I was in the 4th grade. So I guess I was really young at that time. The story I’m about to tell you is real and the only one who were able to witness this were my two little sisters.
The apartment me and my family were staying was about 25 to 30 years old. It was on the 5th floor. That was our first apartment. There was always something odd about that apartment. Most of the time my dad and mom used to get angry for no reasons at all and me and my little sisters used to fall ill most of the days.
Here is one incident that happened to my mom when I, my dad and my sisters went to meet some relations of ours because my granddad passed away recently. My mom stayed back for she said she wasn’t feeling well. After the visit my dad …

I was raised by an Irish mother (Celtic) and Cuban father (Santeria) so I was taught very early on that there are many dimensions to our world, not just the one that we can all see. The movie Ghost got a lot of things right.
So, with that being said, I was not scared on this particular day of a black shadow that followed me in school and on my way home. I figured it was one of many I had seen and thought nothing of it.
I get home and start to clean for my parents, sweeping and cleaning the living room. I bend over to clean the living room table when I look up into the television. It was turned off, yet I could see in the reflection of the glass a black figure sitting on the couch. The image had a box like thing between its legs, and with one arm, lifts something from the box, which …

Back in 1971 in a small Village in the North of Italy, close to the Alps, I was a young girl around nine years of age playing with my brother who was a couple of years younger than me. It was a sunny summer day; school was over. My brother and I were on the balcony of my grandparents’ house. It was located in the countryside in the midst of a field of apple trees. The house and the courtyard were enclosed with a wire fence and a gate closed the entrance from the country road. It was a big and isolated house built after World War I. Every day my grandfather was away working in the village and my grandmother would be in the kitchen cooking lunch. No one else was in the house or around it. The balcony where we were playing was on the second floor of the house. Around the house was a pavement of smooth …
Read Complete Story Here...The Stories of My Ancestors
My grandparents were from Bulgaria, and from a few countries after that, as far as my myth of our heritage, I think we’re a Germanic family, I cannot know the truth however, nobody in my family knows. Well anyway, my family lived in Bulgaria, I do not know which province, yet my mother and my grandmother told me stories of their paranormal, they told the truth, I believe them because a few things happened to me. My mother told me of the Ghost Bride, who was killed before marrying, I don’t know how, however the Bride was a good lady, often coming into peoples’ houses and washing their dishes at night, wearing her wedding clothes. However, the most important story is the Dwarfs of Bulgaria.
My great grandfather was a high-ranked soldier in the Army and apparently he had wonderful sapphire eyes, and my other great-grandfather who had emerald eyes, like mine. My great-grandfather who had blue eyes’ name was …

Okay so about a year ago I think last winter I was staying at my friends house and we were hanging out there and stuff and we played the Wii. We were having lots of fun and she had been my best friend for a while and still is.
It was about two in the morning we got some snacks like pretzels and we had chips and this awesome dip her mom makes and we were in her room watching movies. We were up talking and she mentioned that she thought that the man who lived and died in her house was haunting it and I kinda laughed and didn’t really give it much thought
So it turned out to be like three or three thirty in the morning and we were still up because you know when you were like 12 you would stay at a friend’s house and stay up super late. Well I went to re fill …

This is my second sorry I’m sharing with you (Was it the Boogeyman? being the first).
My now ex boyfriend told us that his house is haunted, we at first didn’t believe it… he always liked to scare us and pull pranks. He told us about this little girl, she was about 7 years old, has long black hair an is wearing her Pj’s. She cried in his closet and he sees her running up and down the stairs. Like I said we didn’t believe him. he told us to stay over on night to see for ourselves… we now wish we never did!
My friends Lee and Natasha said they will stay over with me, that night we slept in one bed in my exes room. We were making jokes, not expecting anything to happen really. We hear a little girl whisper “please don’t” or that’s what it sounded like. we kept quite and listened, but heard nothing, …
Read Complete Story Here...Gnome in Atlanta Garden
This happened to me way back in the mid 1990′s. At the time I was already in my forties. I need to go into a bit of detail.
First, I will describe the setting. In Atlanta, there is a main artery called Ponce De Leon Avenue. This runs between Decatur and the north end of downtown. It is a very busy street with lots of traffic. There is on one side of it a sunken garden, with scrub brush and trees growing up the embankment, blocking Ponce from immediate sight. The garden is part of the grounds of a school for epileptic kids. There is a bit of virgin timber-land and more shrubby, scrubby type of growth on the fridges of a formal garden. The garden and a big antebellum house once belonged to a man named Cator Woolford, a philanthropist. The garden and the house etc. are in trust, and the school operates as long as the garden is …

I’m going to try to make this blog as simple as possible. Around 2 years ago I discovered my love for Ghost Hunters. I was really into the paranormal and I remember saying to myself “I wish I could see an apparition” and I would even fantasize about it. That’s how close I wanted to be to the paranormal but over time my interest for it soon faded and I no longer thought about it.
I live close to a graveyard which is located in my neighbors yard. Buried there is a family that passed within early to mid 1800′s. Early May of 2010, a gentleman went to the graveyard to clean it up. Trees had fallen and groundhogs dug holes under the tombstones. It was a real mess but the gentleman and his friends worked on it for about 2 weeks and now it looks nice and is easy to get to.
After the graveyard was cared for odd …

This story takes place in North Battleford Saskatchewan, Canada. It all started when my cousins started playing a game we called smeegle. I know it is from Lord of the Rings but it is basically we turn off all the lights and someone is smeegle and chase us in the dark. We played that when my auntie was at work. We played smeegle for another month when “things” started happening.
The first thing that happened to me was that my alarm clock would out of no where fuzz up when I went in my bedroom. So I just ignored it and threw it away. Then I was playing games with my older cousin it was about 2 o’clock am. The door was closed. Then suddenly the door opened and my cousin saw the outline of a person. The outline color was greenish.
The next thing that happened was I was trying to sleep when I seen this guy peek out …
Read Complete Story Here...Truly Haunted
Ok, so when I was about 6 years old, I moved into a new house. It seemed so big when we bought it, but now… like 5 years later it seems like a dog house. But, There’s something about this place that seems weird… you always feel like there’s someone behind you… And so many things have gone in here.
My first experience was so strange, about 2 years after we moved in, I was 8. I was ready to go to bed, and I was laying there, and from the hallway outside my bedroom I heard a voice say my name. The voice sounded like a man, with a really deep voice. I was so young, I didn’t know what to think of it, so I kinda just didn’t think of it for a while.
But then, as the year went on… I started to have some sort of random connection to ghosts, and ghost stories. Nearing the end …
