My Dead Cat Scarlet was Reborn?

A few years ago I once had a black cat named Scarlet. Around the middle of her life she had gotten out of the house and was impregnated. She would escape often before then and loved to run off into the woods next to our house.

We never thought much about it when she got out because she would always return in a matter of a day or two.Soon afterward her kittens were born and my family kept one of the litter and we named him Cole, because, he was a black cat as well. The father cat was also black because we would see him wandering around our house quiet often.

A few years later Scarlet had passed on living a long happy life. About two years after her death I started to have strange recurring dreams of her. I didn’t have a close relationship with her, so I found the dreams strange since there wasn’t much of an …

My Poor Cats

Well my story is simple, but still a little unnerving. I have lived at my present home since 2005. There have been a couple of strange things, but nothing overly worrying.

I’ll give you a little background on the place I live. It’s a very quiet trailer-park just off of a main road in my town.  My dad moved his trailer in after he divorced my mom. He rented there for a few years when a tragic boating accident cost the owners their lives.  My father decided to buy the property and trailers off of the late owners children. After a long probate battle my dad finally got the deed in 2004. I moved into a vacant trailer a year latter. I have been occasionally plagued by strange happenings. Like footsteps when no one is there ( and I know they are footsteps because in a trailer not only do you hear them but also feel the vibration). And once …

Tale of Alleged Lycanthropy in West Virginia

Although this did not happen to me directly, it is an account that has been talked about on my mother’s side of the family for years. My grandmother had told this to my mother and my mother likewise passed it down to me. I would have normally dismissed such a tale as merely a family fable passed on from generation to generation as many families do. However, all the other myths familiar to my family are recognized as just that. This story was received a very different treatment, my grandmother was always embarrassed to talk about it for fear of being suspected a lunatic or simply ridiculed for what others might presume to be feeble mindedness for believing such superstitions. My grandmother was actually angry at my mom for telling me the story that goes as such:

My great grandfather lived in rural West Virginia, he had originally lived in DC his whole life but decided to spend his autumn …

Ghosts in Old House on Swamp Land

My mom and stepfather live in an old house. Its not really old, only about sixty years or so. It was built over old swamp land and is really in a bad location. I have seen so many things in that house, that even at my age I hate to go there. I have had many experiences there. So have my parents and siblings.

1. There is a lady who taps on the glass at the front door, and says “Is anyone here?” I have yet to see her, but I have heard her.

2. I have seen a man standing in the kitchen, when everyone else was outside. He was tall, wearing a vest and a flat hat. He looked very old.

3. There is a spot in the hallway that the cats avoid like the plague (My step-dad’s father died in that spot). They have even hissed at what seems to be nothing in that spot.

4.The back …

Growing up Haunted in Sydney Part 22

Have you read the previous parts of this story? Growing up Haunted in Sydney Part 1

Now living in a run down ‘army house’ in tropical Darwin, Australia with my teenage son and daughter while my husband was deployed, my son had finally revealed his experiences with the male presence we named “Kevin”. I had sensed Kevin since moving in March 09, my husband had seen Kevin once in July, my daughter just constantly complained of feeling ‘spooked’ but my son appeared to take the brunt of Kevin’s presence.

My son would describe leaving his bedroom of a night to go to the toilet and seeing Kevin standing at the verandah door just looking in. My son complained of the ‘constantly being watched’ sensation and that there had been times he believed Kevin had been in his room. Overall, an overwhelming feeling of anger and that ‘everyone hated him’ seemed to suddenly overcome my usual easy going son… but only …

Animals Ghosts and Strange Behavior

Apparently I come from a long line of mediums (my gran tells me), but I haven’t experienced any feelings or sensations, so I don’t really look into it. I do however love a good ghost story! I guess I believe in ghosts, but I’m not the type to assume that strange occurrences are ghosts, I firstly try to explain them away. Some however cannot be explained away such as the few small experiences I’ve had with animals.

First: When I was younger, about 8 I guess, I lived on a small holding (small farm) with my parents and grandparents. My grandparents had a few Yorkshire terriers and I remember one day going downstairs to see them and one of the dogs, named Netty, was staring at something in the middle of the room just to the side of me. She stared and I called her name over and over and started to wave my hand in front of her face. …
