The Vexing Bits of Life
To begin, I am one who believes in what people would not consider mainstream. I believe in the supernatural, truly, because there isn't much else for me to believe. I am young and I live in a small town about 45 minutes away from Chicago. My experiences are not large or expansive with those from the other side, but mor...

Walpole Island Evangelistic Centre and Area
For a while now strange things have been happening at my church that I go to.

I begin my story where a part of my life has been left off. Now as unusual as this may seem, I have but a select few true memories from my childhood.

When most people hear the word haunting they think of a sheetlike, legless creature that causes trouble in someone's life. In this case though haunting is a very large understatement. One night I went into the bathroom, preparing to take a bubble bath as I usually did on Friday evenings. This ritual was to remind myse...

The Blue Man (2)
One night, when I was 6 years old, I was in my room with my younger sister who was 5. We had separate beds on the opposite side of the room. I was laying down and we both quickly fell asleep. In the middle of the night, I woke up because I felt something was not right. I looked under the bed and there was this blue ma...

My 3 Haunted Houses
I have lived in 5 different houses and in 3 of them I have seen ghosts. I'll start from the first one: I used to live in a stone house on N. 400 West in Rochester, IN. I moved there when I was about 4. We no longer live there. But there is so many things that went on in that house. When we first lived there, there w...

Beyond The Grave
My father worked as a caller/dispatcher for the railroad. His job was to call the conductor's in when it was there turn to drive or if another conductor called off. Money was very tight for my mother and him at that time. To make extra money he would fill in for other caller/dispatcher's, sometimes in other towns. Wel...

Contact (2)
Last Tuesday night I had to go back into the kitchen for a book, it was fairly late, probably about 11.45 and everyone was in bed except me, so the house was quiet and the kitchen dark except for the light from the fireplace. The dark doesn't bother me and although it was very cold I stood staring at the fireplace fro...

Daddy's Visit
Last year in August my father hung himself and it was a very sad time for me and my family. There were many questions around his death and suspicion it may of been murder.

The Laughing Man
This story is my husbands', but I find it so interesting that I wanted to share it. My husband was a serious kind of kid, mature and not a prankster. So, this story is even more believable because his parents told me they remembered how scared THEY were when it happened. When John, my husband, was 8 or 9 his family m...

The Knocking (2)
This is a story that I always liked hearing my parents talk about. My mother was pregnant with me and it was about the year of 1966. They lived in this house on Old Route 66 in Oklahoma. At the time my uncle was living with my folks, and every night usually around the same time there was this knocking sound that start...

Smoking Silhouette
Well, sad to say, I really don't know the history of my house. But yesterday, (5/27), something strange kept happening. It wasn't the first time for me to keep nervous in my house. For instance, I had entered our living room to hear my dog barking outside. I went to yell out him, only to find the radio on. I had been ...

Were They Murdered?
Well, it all started around the year of 1973 when we moved in a house on Summit St. in Elgin. Every day around 5pm we would hear a car pull in the drive but when we looked nobody was there. One night the phone rang late about 2am I would say. My mother was thinking who could it be this late. Well, when she got up to a...

Another True Vanishing Hitchhiker Story
I'm very sure that many of you who are reading this are tired of vanishing hitchhiker stories, but I have to share this. My grandma (or Baba) swears this happened, and she's very religious and doesn't lie. You see, my Baba was born in Slovakia. Her mother died in childbirth. This story happened a few weeks later. My...

Sharing and Scaring
What you are about to read is a sampling of spookiness from myself and a couple of friends. I personally have had very little experience with the paranormal, or if I have none of them are worth telling. I love scary things but if I'm ever put in a freaky situation, I am in no way a brave person! So in that sense I am h...

An Invisible Presence
Some time around 1979, I was out of college with no job and nothing much to do so I went to visit a group of friends who were sharing a rental house near Washington, DC. Everyone had gone to bed and I was getting ready to sleep on the couch in the living room. My friend stayed up and we were talking about nothing in p...

The Black House
A few years ago I lived in a small country town in Australia. I moved into an old rosewood cottage, about 100 yrs old and with a very dark rosewood exterior. My mother christened it 'the Black House'. I never felt uncomfortable there until one night a friend (I'll call him Paul) came over and we were sitting up late t...

My story takes place in St. Augustine, Florida. My family and I went to Florida on vacation, and decided to take in some history by staying in St. Augustine.

Surprise Visit
I had a nephew who had been the victim of a bad fall ( off a bridge...about 30 ft onto concrete). He was badly injured and suffered brain damage as a result of the fall. He had a very long period of rehab, 5 yrs to be precise, and in that time we became very close. He was always very affectionate and told me many time...

Now for some background information: I wasn't one of those kids who made things up. I remember a lot of things from my childhood and this is def...

Was It A Ghost? (2)

Growing up weird occurrences that seemed to come from "the other side" always happened to me.

My mother and I were the only ones living in our two-story home when I was 13. She too joked ar...

The Old Church In The Countryside of England
It was a cold day in the middle of June when my parents, grandparents, sister and I arrived at this old church in this small little town. The church had been around for a long period of time and by the looks of the graveyard so had it as well. We were there for one main reason and that was to look around at the graves ...

Do You Still Love Me?
About 10 years ago, I got cancer. That year I experienced my first love. His name was Matt, and even though I was only 6, I knew I loved him. He meant the world to me. I managed to survive, but he wasn't so lucky. Before he died, he handed me a small silver drama ring, which I always wore. On the 10th year anniversary...
