The Lonely Husband
This story is rather long, but please read it through, because it comes with a warning that hopefully can spare you and your loved ones from the scary things I now encounter.
I was in my late 20s and was a member of the United States Air Force (I’m retired now). I was a single mom of a 4 year old daughter. I had been suffering from chronic insomnia for several years since Desert Storm. It was about 11pm and I was drinking some herbal tea hoping it would help me sleep. It was almost midnight and sadly I was realizing that the herbal tea was another failed attempt to conquer my sleeplessness.
I walked toward my bedroom to lay there until I had to be at work bright and early at 7am. I peeked in to check on my daughter who was sound asleep with her favorite stuffed animal hugged up next to her and her right thumb securely …
Read Complete Story Here...A Visit From an Old Friend
I was always a fan of the paranormal and I’ve always wondered if you could contact a friend after they have passed on. But before I share my story let me give a little background. Me and my friend had first met in sixth grade and we both played drums. But in 7th grade he changed schools so I never saw him again until freshman year. All 4 years of high school we played in the band and on the drumline where we were all very close, like our own small family. We graduated in May of this year but sadly 3 months after we graduated he was killed in a car accident. Of course we were all devastated and after his funeral is when the activity started.
To make me feel better my best friend always took me to our old high school’s football games,and also because her boyfriend still played. But on this night it was different while …

When I was about 8 – 9 years old I’d moved states we had lived in our new house for about 4 weeks before a summer storm hit, it came out of nowhere I freaked when it hit.
Mum, dad, my sisters and I were eating dinner I’d just finished suddenly the lights went out I walked in to the kitchen and tried to turn them back on and nothing “mum the lights are out” I said “can you get the matches then” she asked me. I grabbed the matches from the kitchen bench and suddenly BANG coming from the end of the hall way I looked down the hall way but nothing, nothing was they, mum came to see what I was freaking about she took the matches off me and said it was nothing.
Later that night my baby sister Charliee was crawling are the living room, I pick her up and put her in a little bed …
Read Complete Story Here...My First Experience with an Evil Entity
Hello, I want to share with you my experience I had with the paranormal. It all begins when I was 12 years old, I’m 19 now so it began in 2004.
Me and my two friends from school one day got chatting about ghost, the paranormal, that kind of thing. None of us had experienced anything before but we all had an open mind. One of my friends suggested that we try spells and witchcraft and so we did.
We used to go on the internet and get spells and try them out, we also then began writing our own. It wasn’t long before we realized that sometimes these spells would work – such as I did a spell to help me get better grades and I ended up getting top marks. It was all very fun until we all started experiencing things that we didn’t even know existed.
One night I was home alone and was sitting in the …

When I was young my brother died in a drowning accident, he was my best friend and my brother. At his funeral when the priest said the good lord needed him so he took him I began to hate God severely.
One day in my despair I put a blanket up to my chest and pretended to be in a coffin. Well the first couple times nothing happened but the third time I heard a voice so I got really excited about this. So I kept going in to my pretend coffin and by age 8 I was seeing and hearing demons. My whole life began to go down hill from there because I was being led by a spirit guide so whatever he said I did.
By age 14 I got heavy in to racism for no reason but by 17 I got out of Racism and in to the occult. Then one day a friend asked me to …
Read Complete Story Here...Extremely Vivid Recurring Dream
My name is Sunny. I am fourteen and I am Wiccan (don’t judge me). In the last three years I haven’t had any dreams except for this dream. Its not exactly a recurring dream more like a journey and each time I have it I travel further each night. I (somehow) know that if I don’t keep walking bad things will happen… the fear pushes me on.
Always its the same place. There’s a desert of black sand, pitch black and its a night sky. There’s no moon but there are stars giving you just enough light to see by. The landscape is featureless and I always walk forward. It’s extremely vivid and I can smell (faintly) the stench of blood. I leave behind a trail of dried blood.
Sometimes things change though. If something really bad happens I pass half rotted corpses and as I walk past them and the blood changes from dry to fresh. Later on it …
Read Complete Story Here...Vicious Demon Exorcisms and a Coma
In 1996, which makes me 7 at the time, I was laying on my bed and witnessed a small boy who stood by my door calling me. I couldn’t hear his voice but I could see him waving me to follow him. I couldn’t move my body and couldn’t speak I was frozen. Still I didn’t feel frightened but I remember me feeling very strange, I never told anyone I had seen this and kept it to myself.
Four years later I was in my house on a Thursday afternoon, on my own doing my homework at the table, when I thought I heard a noise on my landing so I went to have a look as you do curious if someone was actually in (the noise I heard was like a dragging noise across the floor upstairs) it frightened me as it wasn’t as if it was a boiler noise and we didn’t have wooden floor so it couldn’t …
Read Complete Story Here...Human Bone and Shadow Figures in Kentucky
First of all great website. It is good such a place exists so that there is help for those who have similar problems. When I was about 14 years old me and another friend used to hike in the woods in front of my house. I live in Kentucky and the woods are mostly knobs and full of old rocks and cubby holes. At the top of the knob was a large flat rock with holes that went inside of the rock. It looked sort of like a large Swiss cheese. It was probably 100 foot wide and 30 foot long. We had played there before but never really went into the holes.
This one day in particular we went into one of the holes. The soil was like sand. Very fine and it sifted easily. We started joking around about how Jessie James might have buried gold in the hole and started digging around. I dug up a rib …
Read Complete Story Here...Haunted Darwin Australia 6
As to my previous stories, and recent notoriety with my ghost ” Kevin ” landing me on the front page of the Northern Territory News. I have had to field numerous radio interviews both National and International, live TV appearances and magazine coverage due to ” Kevin the horny ghost “. Yes, if you have come across the media coverage of the housewife with the horny ghost, that’s me! But as I tell my friends, I’m no housewife, I work full time for a living! And Kevin isn’t horny, as I told one interviewer, if he had grabbed my wrist in the kitchen, he would be no doubt labeled the hungry ghost! But Kevin is still present and going about his business.
As recently as Saturday 9/10/10, my son was in the dining room at 11.17 pm and on the PC when he looked up and noted the tall male figure standing in the doorway that leads into our lounge …
Read Complete Story Here...Sensitive and Paranormal Incidents
I have been sensitive to the paranormal ever since I was two. I think I got it from my dad because he also is sensitive. Anyway the first story was back when I was in Daycare it was about my third week going and there was a lady who worked there that didn’t really like kids. One day it was storming hard and lightning, I told the teacher ‘I smell smoke.’ She looked around then yelled at me for ‘telling a lie’ then about ten minuets later I told her again.
She yelled at me again and said if I lied one for time I’d have to go sit in ‘time out’. Fifteen minutes later the roof caught on fire, we all got out safely and the teacher asked how did I know that there would be a fire? I just shrugged my shoulders and said ‘I don’t know.’ It turned out that a power line broke and landed on …
Read Complete Story Here...Angry Ghost in the Strip Club
This story I am about to tell you happened to me about eight years ago. I had just started working as a doorman for a night club / strip club. Before it was remodeled it was a penthouse owned by an old rich recluse back in the late seventies. It was said she was murdered where the dance floor is on the second floor. As soon as I started I had a bad feeling about this place but at first I put it down to nerves at starting a new job.
Nothing really happened for about a week and I just about forgot about the whole thing until closing time that night. We had just ushered all the patrons out feeling tired after a long night. Me and the manager sat down for a beer. After talking for about five minutes a wine glass flew off the wrack towards our table smashing on the floor. The manager looked at me …

I submitted a story not to long ago called ‘My Dead Grandmother’. Nothing bad had ever happened to me before but now there is a ghost or spirit that scared me when I was staying at my friend Bethany’s new apartment.
The first time I saw the spirit I knew he wasn’t nice. He was about five ten and solid black. Me and Beth were playing Rock Band on her X-Box when I saw someone sitting on the couch. We were home alone her dad had to make a run to Bolivar, an all day trip. I did a double take and he was standing up. ‘Beth?’ I asked. ‘What?’ she snapped she was in the middle of a solo. ‘Who’s the man?’ ‘We call him Jack don’t worry he wont hurt you.’
I felt a little better, but later that day we were going to go swimming so I went to her room to get my swimsuit when her …
