Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Poltergeists or Tricksters

I have read stories about mischievous spirits that like to do tricks and scare people. I’m not sure if anyone has experienced any of these. They claim that they are located where there is a lot of quartz rock in the area. We have a lot of it and a lot of sage in our area.

I have had such an entity in my home for a long time. It loves to make noise, especially late at night. Some nights it wakes me up and keeps me awake all night. The static electricity in the room is terrible.Some times when I get up at night, I get zapped real hard by the static electricity. Almost like I’m walking through something.

I read that it isn’t good to annoy them, because they can get worse, so I try to ignore it. I have also seen things in my room that look like small animals or toys.

Once in awhile I burn …

Poltergeist Activity on Old Farm Stead

Last night within my home my daughter (14 y/o) and myself experienced what I do believe was paranormal activity.

The home was built in 2010 on an old farm stead after a tornado leveled the original home. We have been living there since 12/2010. It started yesterday afternoon, when my daughter was taking a nap. Upon waking up about 4 pm to a noise, she discovered the kitchen chairs knocked over and placed around the living room and hallway. A jar of jelly was taken from the kitchen and placed on the living room floor. She had texted me to the events, and of course, I didn’t believe her.

When I got home from work I saw what she had described to me. I picked up the chairs and the jelly and put them back in their place. We then went to town. Upon returning back home, a pan of bread was placed in the middle of my kitchen floor. …

The Poltergeist Phenomenon

Lately I have been reading a book about poltergeists. It is titled The Poltergeist Phenomenon an In-Depth Investigation Into Floating Beds, Smashing Glass, and Other Unexplained Disturbances.

If you are interested in learning about poltergeists this is one of the best books you will find on the subject. It is full of case studies and interviews about various poltergeist activity.

One story/case I thought was very interesting was referred to as The Demon of Olive Hill.

In Olive Hill, Kentucky two paranormal investigators saw objects being levitated in a home. The family who lived there wouldn’t allow the researchers to stay because they feared that they had brought demons along with them.

The story began in 1968 at the home of John and Ora Callihan in Olive Hill.

“One day in late November, the family reported strange rumblings in the house. Glass shattered in a picture of Jesus and furniture moved… From then on about 200 incidents were …

Poltergeist Activity or Something More

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for submitting stories. I enjoy reading everyone’s personal experiences because I have had quite a few beginning when I was a small child. But this is not about then. I had my most recent experience this evening. I apologize in advance for how long this story is.

I injured my back in January of 2010 in a car accident, and sometimes the only relief I can get is by taking a hot bath for hours at a time. Sometimes it can get a bit boring, so I take a kitchen chair and place my laptop next to the claw-foot tub, I usually read stories from TrueGhostTales.com.

I live with my boyfriend and another roommate. Tonight, my roommate left the house at 5:30 pm to bowl in a league with his father. I hung out with my boyfriend until 6:15 pm when he also had to leave to bowl in a different …

Poltergeist Mystery in England

I live in a small village in England. Me and my family moved in to our house last October and since then strange things have been happening to us.

A couple of weeks in to the new school term me and my sister lost our reading books. We got worried that we would be told off so we spent over 3 hours looking for them both; We practically turned the house upside down. We had to eventually leave for school without them so we reluctantly got in to the car and drove off. When I got home that afternoon I went upstairs to my room to get changed and freshen up. I was home alone as my sister had an after school club and my parents were still at work-I had let myself in with my key. Nobody had been home since we left this morning, but as I went in to my sister’s room to collect some perfume she’d …

Poltergeist Activity in Ocean Beach

Ocean Beach on the outskirts of San Diego… This was the place where I experienced most poltergeist activity.

One morning I found that the end of the belt on my robe was wet, so I threw it over my shower curtain rod to dry.  Later I hopped in the tub to take my shower, closed the shower curtain, noted the robe belt hanging there and pitched it over the rod onto the floor.  After my shower I put on my robe, looked around for the belt which I expected to be on the floor, but one end was threaded through a belt loop on my robe!

Another morning when I placed a bottle of shampoo on the side of the bathtub after I finished washing my hair in the shower, it fell into the tub and I just said phooey, I’ll leave it there and pick it up tomorrow morning when I shower again.  Later that day I found the …

Growing up Haunted in Sydney Part 9

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

Growing up with a traditional haunting, poltergeist activity, Ouija Boards (yes we had one, but in the 60s and 70′s we were very naive about their inherent dangers) and EVPs, you can imagine we were fairly open minded but we had strange events in our family even before my father died… in fact before I was even thought of.

Firstly you must understand there is a 12/13 year age gap between my older sisters and myself hence why I was left out of a lot of things growing up. The event that unfolded involved my middle sister and the concept of reincarnation.

In 1957 my Dad was home from Korea and not long discharged from the army and we were getting used to having him home full time as a civilian. I was just a twinkle in his eye as Mum would later tell …

Growing up Haunted in Sydney Part 6

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

One of the standards of growing up in a haunted house in the 60′s and 70′s before a lot of literature was available on the paranormal, meant we were left struggle with dealing with a haunting mostly on our own. My mother told me she did go to the local church one time in the 60′s when my Pop’s ghost was rather busy and was told she just needed to pray more. She didn’t need to exactly get rid of him, just understand what was going on and no-one seemed to be able to help.

Of course coming to terms with a full bodied apparition that appeared on a regular basis was different to a “poltergeist” and we didn’t even know the word at the time – but we had one of those as well.

Physical Changes and Incredible Feats of Power

After a long and thorough read (About demons on this blog), I wish to share with you a piece of my story and a partial view. Note however I myself am seeking a guide who may help further my knowledge on this subject, but that’s for another time.

My childhood was filled with abuse, be it my own parents or the numerous foster parents I moved through. This was the base which fueled my rage, my family itself was filled with religious fanatics and spiritualistic beliefs. It contained an average of 30 deaths or more per year as well, mainly those whom I believe delved to deep into matters which where beyond their control and or knowledge to deal with.

Now you must understand I was a still born baby, who to this day should not have the breath of life. My mother refuses to believe it was the man I call my father who aided in conceiving me, and …

What’s Going on Here Poltergeist?

Alright, this all started when my family moved in to my new house when I was about 8. I was put in a small room and I quickly didn’t like it one bit. I had no idea why but it was completely awful for me to be inside of there. I would wake up every night for no reason at all. I hated to be in that room. I was scared to be in that room without a light on. Eventually my mom decided to build an attachment onto the house for her bedroom, I got her old room.

They had been taking pictures of the old, probably 200 year old, flooring underneath the house. I was looking at the pictures on my ipod. I noticed that there weren’t just pictures of the room, but I noticed apparitions in the room. There was a dog in the room, a face of a hound dog, maybe a mutt. It kinda looked …

Possible Poltergeist Experience

This is my story of my brothers entity or possible poltergeist. I had just come home from North Carolina to be at my late grandmother’s funeral. The following happened at approximately 3 AM on a Thursday morning so it was during a morning which supposedly has a designated demon during the witching hour, at the time I didn’t know this. My brother and I wanted to rid the spirit that had in the past caused: White Noise phenomena, sleep paralysis to both of us on numerous counts, called for the both of us from another room in different house, and inability to control body parts while totally aroused followed by Recurrent Spontaneous Psychokinesis.

At 3 AM we called upon the spirit to make it’s self known. At that moment the lit candles flickered, a cold presence swept past us, and while on channel 33 the television turned off by it’s self.

We then asked the spirit to come close …

Satan And His Demons

The earliest known records of mankind’s belief in Satan and demons appear in the Jewish writings from about 300 BC (Around 2,300 years ago). Within 200 years the beliefs and concepts concerning Satan and demons became very well developed in the Palestine region. Within another 200 years this concept spread out as far away as Ireland and Europe.

Probably, the most widespread, generalized belief is that Satan and demons are fallen angels with Satan being the ‘leader’. Satan is viewed as the enemy of God and the embodiment of evil.

There can be a lot of confusion in the paranormal world as to just what is responsible for certain events, but most paranormal experts agree that a demon and a ghost are not the same thing.

Of course, there are many who do not believe in the existence of Satan or demons. That is not the point of this article. My purpose here is only to shed light on some …
