Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I Asked and Received and had Regret

This happened in the year 2000, I was 36 years old then and I was living in a new apartment in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, with my four daughters ages 2, 7, 12, and 17. My estranged husband had moved out and was catting around and that’s another whole story. This particular night I was home in the apartment with only my 2 year old and 7 year old because the older ones were spending the night with friends elsewhere. I was on the computer and it was really late… near 3 in the morning and my 7 year old was sound asleep in her room and my two year old was in my bed in my bedroom sound asleep.

I closed out of the computer after doing extensive family research and I was mad. I was mad because I could not find a clue as to what had happened to a great great Aunt of mine that had gone missing in …

Strange Things Happening in My House

I live in Eastern Tennessee, on what used to be farm land that my family owns. My house is in the wood behind one of my great grandpa’s old fields. I’ve lived here all my life and for as long as I’ve been here I can remember strange things happening.

When I was about 4 or 5 I could hear people talking in the living room when everyone else was asleep. A friend and I were playing with an old radio that didn’t have batteries and I said “We’ll give it a shot”. I turned it on and it started playing. We were both young so we threw it down and ran away.

My dad has heard people walking around the house at night and when he went to check there was nothing there, I know because I helped look.

My friend has seen things moving in our fields and thought it was our horses but they were in their …

Bag Lady Troll of Knoxville Tennessee

This happened many years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in college (Knoxville, Tennessee) at the time. I would say it was 1989. I was asleep in my apartment, on the second floor, well the basement apartment was actually about half underground so my apartment was about 8 feel above the ground. I had a big sliding window next to my bed, that went from the floor up to the ceiling. Outside the window was a small ledge, and a big field, and then solids woods. I often slept with the window open.

This night was rather warm, so of course the window was open. I remember it had been raining earlier and it was kinda misty and foggy out. I don’t know why I awoke, but I dead with a startled reaction. I remember it was a sense of being watched. I awoke, as I said, and starred out the window at the most …

Uninvited Dinner Guests in Rio Bravo Cantina

I have had more than a dozen experiences that I would not exactly call “normal” in my lifetime. I am known at work as the “Story Teller” and I am often accused of scaring my employees right before they leave at night. Although ALL of my stories are true. I thought it may be interesting to share some of my experiences with others like me. I often refer to the question when I start a story as “does their brain go there or not?” Meaning simply “Do you believe in ghosts?”

I’ll start with my haunted restaurant. I was a manager of a restaurant called Rio Bravo Cantina in Chattanooga, Tennessee from 1999 – 2002. The time that I spent there I had several things happen inside of the restaurant that I could not explain. It started one night while I was counting liquor inventory in the bar. We had closed for the night and I was alone in the …

Troll Sighting in Tennessee?

I decided to share this ridiculous-sounding story after submitting several personal experiences on this blog and receiving positive feedback. I feel confident now that I won’t be laughed at… thanks to the readers on here.

This happened to me in October 2008, right before Halloween. My daughter and I were driving to my mother’s house about 5 miles away from my subdivision for our usual Sunday dinner. We live in Campbell County, East Tennessee, so my parents live pretty far out in an isolated rural area. The road out there is 2-lane blacktop, very winding and curvy. I was late for dinner, so I was speeding a bit, but I knew the road very well, having lived there for so long.

I came zooming around a curve in the road and immediately had to swerve my car to avoid hitting… it? … sitting on the side of the road. I slowed down and got a good look at the back …

The Woman in My Attic

Hello my name is Pedro Sanchez, I am 16 and my story takes place in Nashville, Tennessee. It was late 2003 when my family and I moved in our house we had been told that an elderly couple had left right before we moved in. We had no trouble moving in everything went good.

The first night we slept in the house my dad was acting funny. My mom and I asked him what was wrong, he said, “I think this place is haunted.” Of course my mom and I laughed at him, thinking he was joking. After that he got angered and said, “No I’m being serious today when I came to check on the house I looked at everything to make sure there were no problems.” My dad never trusts the people selling the house he thinks they try to sucker you. As he was saying, “After I checked the house I sat on the couch for a …

Ouija Board Demons

Hi my name is Aaron. I live in Nashville Tennessee. I’m 24 years old, and I want to tell you about the Ouija board. First thing is you should never play with it not knowing what its about and what it can do, its not a game at all trust me I know.

The first time I played with one I was 16. I played alone in my room with the lights off. I had a black light on so I wouldn’t be as scared but later on that wasn’t going to help me. I started playing with it and didn’t know much about it at the time I just knew all it did was you could talk to spirits and stuff. So I was told to play with it around 3 am the mocking of when Christ died. One of my friends said that’s when you know what your playing is not a game.

I started asking “is there …
