True Ghost Tales

The Figure as Cold as the Air Itself

This is a story I wasn’t sure I wanted to tell. I was afraid that if I told it, it might make it more real. God knows I didn’t want it to be real.

I was over at my Erikas (my cousin) house for the weekend. She was telling me of how her and a few of her friends decided to make their own Ouija board (now personally I didn’t believe in the power of the game, and maybe still don’t) Anyway, she told me how nothing really happened, but the thrill of the game was fun. I had been taught to never play with witchcraft and the Ouija board, despite what I believed myself.

She continued with her story, telling me that Kayti (my other cousin and erikas sister) had been having strange nightmares lately that consisted of a man, a very tall man. She couldn’t see his facial features, for that he was covered in a cloak of …

Dark Guardian

I wish I knew how to start this. It began in November/December 4 years ago. I was a freshman in high school then, and now I’m a senior. My friend at the time and I were messing around with an Ouija board and learned I had a spirit in my room that stuck around at all hours. He was a rather mean spirit. One night I had gone out and an empty glass on my mom’s desk fell off and moved across the room. My dog was sleeping in my room, eager for my return, my cats were in their usual locations far from my mom’s bed room. After hearing that, my friend and I were scared so we took holy water and said the St. Michael’s prayer around my room.

We had thought it was over. But a week later another one came back. For three days straight, I’d come home from school and see a pair of my …

Ouija Board Delivered Scariest 3 Nights

This happened to me and I have not used a Ouija board since.

My younger cousin usually spent the majority of her time at my house. I was thirteen, she two years younger. On this particular day we hung out with my eldest brother. Michelle my cousin had brought her Ouija board, the three of us too scared to play with it at night began using it mid-afternoon. We actually played jokes on one another by pushing the planchette making it say curses and things we normally wouldn’t be caught saying. We had no idea what would happen by doing this. I can honestly say what transpired over the following nights, I know was directly related to how we behaved when using the board.

We all fell asleep in the family room of my house. For whatever reason I woke up, I could tell it was late the house was silent. I decided to go up to my room instead …

The Crystal Glass

I want to be clear I try to call myself a good Christian however sometimes I go astray. When I was in elementary school I met one of the loves of my life, Crystal we grew up together, did everything together, I didn’t have a sister so she was it.

I would like to tell you that Crystal and I had a crazy experience with the board but we tried all the time every Halloween and in between, we would get hold of some spirit who couldn’t spell or made no sense at all, that’s not the creepy life changing part of the story I am trying to tell. I am 31 now when I was 24 Crystal and I grew apart, she got into drugs bad, she hated me because I couldn’t follow her down that path at the time I had 2 kids already.

I got the call 1 year after the last time we had exchanged not …

Ouija Board Footsteps Doors and Voices

I’m 40 years old. I have played with the Ouija board many times in the past with friends and had never had a bad experience. I always thought it was just for fun.

In February of 2010, we just moved into a new home In Michigan. It was all updated, looked so beautiful but was actually built in 1980′s. I know since it was a new house, we heard noises and we all accused each other of who left the lights on after I know we turned them off etc.

At night when I would stay up watching TV and everyone else was a sleep. I swear I would hear someone walking around in the kitchen. I even got up thinking my son got up but no one would be there. Another night, when it was just me up, I heard a door open and foot steps. Again I thought my son got up cause his room was on the …

Necronomicon and the Ouija Board Demon

I was curious about two things a necronomicon and a Ouija board and I used both around the same few days.

After I used the necronomicon things started happening such as a photo of me being knocked over and this thing would call my name using his voice which was in a growl or in my gram’s (Grandma’s) or my Dad’s and he would use their voice and make them sound as if they are angry with me; and at night I would hear heart beats and sometimes a feeling of being choked.

One night I actually saw it it had either one or more eyes (I don’t completely remember what it looked like) what I do remember is that it had several fangs and horns, black scale skin, kind of like a lizard or a snake and it made a sound which was like a combination of a pig and a woman screaming.

Then in the morning I saw …

House Guest with an Occult Past

I know its going to sound weird but I believe that someone’s curse has manifested itself upon me. I have always been in tune and open minded both from a religious and scientific aspect in spirits. I am no where close to frightened by paranormal happenings. I have many but I would give one for now I feel I should tell as an introductory one.

At the age of 17 a friend of my brother moved in with us and she was living with us for a while. She told us she messed with a Ouija board with friends and her life was not the same. She said they all claimed to be haunted by a witch who wanted to kill them I thought to myself. that’s weird but didn’t pay it any mind.

After I graduated from high school I spent most of my time with friends or sleeping but when I use to be alone a lot happened. …

Who Do We make Contact With When Using a Ouija Board?

We were talking about the nature of devices such as Ouija Boards and just who, or what, the entities that are encountered by users are. Are they the spirits or souls of the dead? Are they demons? Perhaps they are interdimensional beings?

Jeff made the following comment after which I requested that he expand a bit:

“I have extensive experience in communication devices. Ouija, Ziriya, pendulum boards etc.

I have gained some degree of trust with a couple of these things and they informed me that they are not dead people. They were never people. They were always what they are. And, somehow they have the ability to know intimate things about people thereby convincing them that they are dead relatives or passed friends and such. I shun away from the word demon because they aren’t all so bad but many of them are quite mischievous and will lie in order to convince you of their false identity. And, yes… …

That Specific Smell

Okay so personally I have had many, many encounters with things I’ve seen to be paranormal as did my mum when she was younger.

Some stories she’s told me have been mainly about hauntings in houses she’s lived or things associated with Ouija boards, where as I’ve experienced visions/dreams of things to happen before, my best friend when I was younger and I some how used to think we would hear each other speak exactly what the other was thinking when we heard it.

But one story that I will remember vividly is a run in I believe I had with a ghost.

My uncle had just bought this old train station about an hour and a half into the country from the city I live in…

I went out there one weekend to visit and due to how old the building is I decided to ask my uncle if he knew of any hauntings or anything associated with it. …

Is There a Ghost in My House?

You probably wont believe me but every word of this story is absolutely true.

When I was fourteen, I was watching my younger brother while my mother was out shopping. We were watching TV and my brother was slowly dozing on my lap. At about 8 pm it was dark out and I was just about to carry my brother to his bed.

Just when I stood, I heard something crash from the second floor. Like a box or something. Being too terrified I ran for the phone to call my mom or the police. I called my mom first. I told her there was someone in the house that knocked down a box. Hearing the terror in her voice she said she’d be home as soon as she could.

Twenty minutes later I was outside with my brother with him sleeping on a blanket I brought out for him. My mom climbed out of the car and ran inside …

The Seventh Grandson

Okay, Right.

First of all, I just want to make it clear that I am very, very skeptical on all this stuff. Like 99% of all ghost stories are easily explained, but this has always baffled me.

I’m an agnostic at best when it comes to God and demons etc. I think whatever is going on in life or death, its far more amazing than anything any religion says. In my view, but everyone’s entitled to theirs and I respect that.

But ghost stories etc. interest me, and I found this site so I figured I’d contribute.

Anyways, my family come from a city called Winchester, in Hampshire (England). It’s one of the oldest cities in the UK and it’s supposedly very, very haunted. Over the last thousand years give or take, it’s bee the site of many battles and obviously seen a lot of history.

The particular bit I’m referring to is a large housing estate, built to house …

Not All Ouija Board Sessions are Bad

~ Brief Note from the Author ~

Ok so I’ve been reading through all the true stories on here, and thought I’d contribute. What I’ve noticed is that most of these stories are about BAD experiences, but no good ones. It’s giving Ouija Boards a bad reputation that they don’t deserve. Research them, THEN do one. (All people are 17)

~ Actual Story ~

It was one week before Halloween, on a Friday afternoon. I was excited for the simple fact that I had been waiting for today for several weeks. I’M finally going to do a Ouija Board!

It was about midnight (12 AM) when we started. (We being myself, and my two friends; Jane and Linda [Names changed for privacy])

We set up the space. Being a Wiccan, I had already done extensive research on Ouija Boards. So we set up the board on a small, circular table. (Yes, you should use a circular table) …
