Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Watched by a Shadow at the River

I was out with my mate, about 4 months ago, hanging out by the river down the main street of Werribbee, where I live. The main street has the typical row of buildings on either side of the road. But behind one side of the buildings, is the Werribbee river, which runs right through town. Therefore the backs of the buildings can be seen.

We were walking through the trees along the edge at about 11 pm. Me and my closest friend had both lost an uncle to accidents in water, so my friend had an unusual fear of water. We stopped walking through the trees and walked along a dirt path. All the way, I felt like I was being watched.

I asked Crystal (my best friend) if she felt it too. She nodded so we decided to get back into the light of the main street. There was a way I used to go to take a shortcut …

Haunted by Voices and a Shadow Figure

I’d really appreciate it if anyone could help me understand why this has been happening. I have felt this way since I was a young child.

When I was about 4 years old I lived with just my dad. Then I moved in with my mother in a big house that was very old. When I moved in my mother said, about 2 months of living there, I would wake up screaming and would have a very high fever. Then when I got older it started getting worse. I would wake up every night and there would be just a big figure standing next to my bed. I could never tell what it was but it would be there every night! Some nights I would have these horrible nightmares and when I would wake up I would have a fever and it was like I was still dreaming while I was awake, and I remember these nightmares would be these …

Repeated Instances of Shadow Figure and Paralysis

Around 3 years ago, while still living with my parents near Chesterfield, I awoke one night to see what looked like a black figure stood next to my bed. I could see a black outline of an average size figure, but I could also very clearly see a face. It appeared to be a man, and he had a rather sinister look on his face. He was just starring at me. I jumped out of my bed but as soon as I did so, the figure had gone. I passed it off as it was just me seeing things…

About a year later, still in the same room, I again woke up to see a hooded shadow figure at the end of the bed. I began to panic, as it seemed as if I could not physically move at all, like was glued to the bed. I attempted to call out to my parents but I couldn’t even speak. I …

Summoning a Ghost the Circle of Hands

One day in fourth grade, my best friend Tori, my cousin Zaria and I were very bored and began to read a Ghost book I had borrowed from the school library. We came across something called the ‘Circle of Hands’ and decided to try it.

We turned off the lights, sat in a circle, and put a Bible in the middle of us. Zaria began to chant nonsense (so it seemed) and for a while, nothing happened. I opened my eyes and glanced toward Tori to see how she was taking this but she didn’t exchange glances with me. She was wide eyed, in total awe. She stared at the ceiling also. At first I thought “What in the world is she looking at? Is there a bug on the wall?” I fixed my eyes toward what she was looking at. And I saw something I really cant explain…

I saw a shadowy figure with curly hair and a smile …

Shadow Figure and My Daughter Saw it Too

About three weeks ago, my wife got up around 2 am to go to the bathroom. I few moments later I heard her call my name. I answered her and she said in a frightened voice to “come here now”. I hurriedly got up and saw turned on the hallway light outside the bathroom. She was in the bathroom staring out the door and into the living room. I asked her what was wrong and she said she saw a silhouette of a person walk from the front door toward the coat closet. She said when she called my name, the figure turned toward her and faced her. She was obviously unnerved. She said she thought someone was in the house until I turned on the light. When the light came on it was gone. I turned on the bedroom light and tried talking to whatever she had seen. I did not getting any type of a response. I regret …

Tormented and Torured by a Shadow Creature

He Likes My Pain

I’m fifteen years and it still won’t go. Since the age of 3 this Shadow Creature (or at least I think that’s what it is) has been there. In the corner, the mirror, watching me in the shower, through a window… it touches me, talks to me, tortures me. I scratch at my arms close my eyes pull at my hair. I beg and beg it to leave me be and it won’t.

When I was three I vividly remember it standing over my crib and mumbling, it reached down and petted my hair, I screamed and it left. My parents thought I was crazy from then on. Sometimes I think I am. It plays games, it walks out of the corner of my eye knowing I can see it but not truly showing itself. It no longer leaves when I scream it no longer goes away. I’m so tired and exhausted. It even went as …

Seven Shadowy Ghosts at Once

It was either 1987 or 88, I can’t remember. I had just returned from a Memorial Day weekend at Lake Powell. I drove back up to Salt Lake City from Lake Powell to spend the night at my moms house that she was renting and I was flying back to Denver the next day. The house my mom was renting sits in an older area of Salt Lake City on the East side. This house had a full apartment in the basement and that is where my mom and my sister lived. The woman who owned the house had moved out so the main level of the house was completely empty except the master bedroom.

The master bedroom had a queen size bed that was actually attached to the wall. Since my mom and my sister occupied the 2 rooms downstairs, I thought it would be easier for everyone if I just took some blankets and a pillow and slept …

The Shadow Girl

I had tinkered around with my Ouija board getting no response. It didn’t spell out anything to me at all. Believing the board was merely a novelty item I put it away and didn’t use it again.

A few weeks later I was sitting on the living room couch watching TV, something caught my attention from the corner of my left eye. When I turned my head I saw a small Shadowy girl standing in my hallway. She had long dark hair that hid her facial features, she appeared to be about ten years old and was wearing pajama pants and a top. She stood watching me for a while then walked into the hallway bathroom. I wasn’t startled at first because I thought she was my step daughter, who was ten years old at the time. I called her name but no one answered. Since I didn’t see the girl walk back out of the bathroom, and since the …

Do My Eyes Just Play Tricks On Me?

I’ve always believed in and been fascinated with the paranormal and ghosts. I know they are out there and around us all the time. What I don’t know is if what I see are real encounters or just the trick of the eye. I’ve had several so called experiences through-out the years.

I remember about 5 years ago now I was living with my parents again and my youngest sister. It was a small quaint lake front house with two bedrooms a bathroom and a laundry room / bathroom adjoined to the master bedroom. The kitchen and living room were a wide open attached space leading to the sliding glass doors at the back of the house leading to the back yard down to the lake. I shared the master bedroom with my sister and we had acquired bunk beds. She slept on the top I slept on the bottom.

One day we were in our room and both sitting …

Alzheimer’s or The Hat Man Shadows?

Please bear with me as I lay the groundwork for this tale.  It is important for the reader to have a grasp of the situation as a whole to be able to form an educated opinion.

My grandmother and my grandfather were married for over 50 years.  He was an officer in the US Army during WWII, Korea, and he trained military personnel during the Vietnam war.  He suffered many debilitating diseases due to his long service history, causing him to be declared legally handicapped and to be virtually shut in the house except for occasional forays out to see his various doctors.  My grandmother was his primary caretaker, and my mother and I helped when we were needed, as well.

The four of us lived in a duplex house, built as such around the turn of the century (research states about ca 1915), in Western Massachusetts.  My mother and I lived on one side, while my grandmother and grandfather …

Something Dark Has Followed Me

When I was younger, I would see this big black figure, it was very tall, tall enough that as I laid in bed and saw it coming from around the corner, its head nearly touched the ceiling. (so about 6 1/2 feet) I used to get paralyzed by it. It would stand next to my entertainment stand and seemingly stare at me. I would have dismissed these occurrences, but when my brother had that room before I did, he saw something too and that was when he moved back upstairs to his old room.

This happened often, I even had dreams about it to where I’d try to run up the stairs from it, but my feet would stick to the stairs and it would slowly come at me. Before I moved out of my moms house, I saw it again and tried to run through it to get away and go upstairs and have felt this… darkness inside of …

The Hat Man and Different Things

I am a religious person. Back home I have been raised Roman Catholic but since 12 years I converted myself to Islam, All thanks to Him the All Mighty. I always believed in another world and that we were not alone in this world. From childhood till now. The Islam acknowledge the other world which is parallel with our world, the name Allah chose for them are Djinn. You have good ones but also very bad ones.

A few months ago I was in bed sleeping and suddenly I woke up catching my breath that sounded very loud… and I went straight up sitting in my bed and next to me there was a big, tall man standing in black with a hat. I was not that afraid when I saw him… and I know I saw him and after a few seconds he was gone.

I started to ask people around me who it could be what I have …
