1,600 | Most of My Life | What I'm about to tell you are various things that have happened to me ever since I was a kid.
When I was about 6 years old my mother married my stepfather. He bought us this old run down trailer house that was mint green and white. I grew up in this trailer house. When we first moved in I always had an eerie feeling ... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/most-of-my-life |
1,601 | Various Hauntings | I have quite a few experiences that I am planning to tell, so I suppose I'll begin with the first one I remember. It was summer of 1998 or 1999, and my parents had gone out of town on business. My younger sister, younger brother, and I were left at my grandmother's house for the weekend.
First of all, my grandmother l... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/various-hauntings |
1,602 | Before The Clock Strikes Twelve | This story is true. This story took place in the month of November. It was just beginning to get cold in the evenings in Southern California. My son woke up around 11:30 p.m. with a stuffy nose and a real bad cough. He hadn't any temperature but was miserable just the same. I began to look in the cabinets for some coug... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/before-the-clock-strikes-twelve |
1,603 | The Boy (2) | It has been nearly nine months since this event occurred, but I know that it will always and forever be burned into my memory because there are just some things that you can never forget.
About a year ago, after putting up with a lot of crap from my best friend (who I shared my house with) I decided that it was time f... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/the-boy-(2) |
1,604 | The Ghost of Farmer Taylor | About twenty years ago we lived in a house that was located on property originally deeded by William Penn to a family named Taylor. The family had lived on the property from 1682 until the late nineteenth century. At that time there apparently been some financial difficulties, which forced a sale of the property.

1,605 | The Fence | I live near Buffalo (twelve miles out of Batavia, if you know the area). This story happened to me on New Year's Day, I think it was 1994. I had some of my friends over for a New Year's Eve party that year, we would have been ten at the time. We woke up late that morning, because we stayed up several hours after the ba... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/the-fence |

1,607 | Yorktown Battlefield | I've been reading the stories on this site for the past several weeks, and finally worked up the courage to send three of my own most recent encounters.
The first was at the Yorktown Battlefield. Many think that the ghosts of Civil War soldiers haunt this place, but that's not true. They are really the spirits of thos... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/yorktown-battlefield |
1,608 | The Phantom Flusher | Throughout my life, I have always been fascinated with the paranormal. The reason for this is twofold: I lost many people when I was relatively young and I like to believe that they are still around me. The second reason is a less altruistic; contrary, its slightly more ominous - I grew up in a haunted house.
From as ... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/the-phantom-flusher |
1,609 | Shadowy Figure (2) | The house that I live in with my parents I have lived in for 15 years. It has no particular history, just a generic house built in the late 70's in Brisbane Suburbia. To my knowledge no one has ever died in the house, or on the land that the house was built on, as it used to be a flower farm (not very frightening).

1,611 | The Old House (4) | The old house was a big one. To help you better understand where things happened, I'll tell you what it looked like.

1,613 | Foggy Apparitions | This story may not seem super-scary, but it was to me and is entirely true.
I am very well grounded, in my early thirties, and have a Master's degree in Business (MBA).

This may be ... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/foggy-apparitions |
1,614 | The Farm Still Breathes | It is common for large pieces of land set out in the middle of nowhere to be deemed mysterious or haunted.

There are a total of four houses that stand on this property. On one ... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/the-farm-still-breathes |

1,616 | Family Traits | Enjoy!
My family has always been somewhat "touched" by the spirit world. I will go through some of the events that have happened to us. I guess this all started with my grandmother when she was young.

1,617 | Spirits of My Grandparents | At the time this story takes place I was around ten or eleven years of age, I was never a huge ghost person, my dad would sometimes tell me of how ESP runs on his side of the family. Mainly since I could tell what a person was going to do before they do it.
Anyway I'm getting away from the point. At the time my poor g... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/spirits-of-my-grandparents |

1,623 | Altered Nature | My ghost story, one of the many that have happened to me, is not at all a scary or creepy tale. It’s more-so a testament to the awesome power spirits have.

1,626 | West Side Ghost And Angels | This is a story I just recently heard about from my mom, after bringing up the topic of ghosts and this website. I believed it as soon as I heard, due to some experiences of my own.

1,643 | Like A Black Haze | This is a true experience of something that happened to me 14 years ago when I was 6.

1,644 | History of My Hell | I've been having problems lately. Actually, it seems like forever. Ever since I was eight years old. I've lived in the same house for a very long time.

1,670 | Weird stuff in Weirton | For five years, I worked 3-11 in the Housekeeping dept. at Weirton Medical Center in Weirton, West Virginia. There were several restless spirits in that building, and I have a few short tales here.

1,672 | A Guardian Angel | This story is more of a creepy one as opposed to a good old fashioned ghost story, but I feel the need to tell it none the less.
When I was about nine, I was in school one day while my Mom was doing Motherly things at home. She was babysitting one of our next door neighbours children at the time. Someone from across t... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/a-guardian-angel |

1,676 | MacDonough Hall | Since Twenty years have gone by I would like to submit the story of the scariest place I've ever lived.

1,689 | Shadows of Nothing | This is an experience which I will have to endure the rest of my childhood. (Possibly longer.) It all started when I was in bed one night. I had just got home from a big party, and my stomach was not feeling too good. It was about 12:00 when I got up out of bed to use the bathroom. But when I got to the one upstairs, i... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/shadows-of-nothing |

1,694 | In Thessaloniki | This is not a ghost story, though no less strange. It is my contribution, having read "Twilight Zone in West Virginia" under the August 2004 listing:
A number of years ago, my father was transferred to Thessaloniki, Greece. The move was rather sudden, so though I was to study at the Pinewood American School in Pilea, ... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/in-thessaloniki |

1,696 | The Banana-Toothed Man | This story did not happen to me but to my great uncle, who is now no longer with us - it pains me to say that I seem to be surrounded by paranormally receptive people, but nothing ever happens to me!

1,698 | The little Red Rocking Chair | Throughout my life, I would experience plenty of ghostly phenomena and I’ve had direct contact with plenty of demonic spirits.
