Never Look Under The Bed
Before I get to the story I would like to point out a couple of things: I have a twin brother and we both are the same age, 15. And we sleep in the same room because there are not enough rooms to be separated. And I've always had a feeling about this house. When I am alone I have this strange feeling like something or...

Faded Town
I don't know if this can be considered a ghost story, but as far as I know, a ghost is something that's there one minute and gone the next. The experience I had with this "town" was exactly that way. About a year ago, on a very windy winter day, I decided to go to San Francisco by myself for the day on one of my rare ...

Ghost Rider With Cigarette
This is a story I ask my parents, two very discerning, objective, realistic, intelligent people, to tell over and over again. It is of a true, unexplained experience which happened to them and several others with them that night. When I was small, around 1967, my parents owned a guest ranch in Pennsylvania and took cl...

The Angry Boy On Mystery Mile
I am not normally a person who submits things like this but when I saw the story from a year or so ago about Kelly Road I had to share my own experience there.

A Trip To Norway
I guess you wouldn't call this a ghost encounter, but I thought what happened was pretty weird. The places were Hamar and Geiranger, Norway back in June 2000.

Haunted Ripley Castle
Back in 1997 I was pregnant with my daughter. My husband and I decided to visit a local castle, approx. 2 miles from where we live - Ripley Castle, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, UK.

There To Help
I was living in a rented house with my Mum, older brother and younger sister. Quite often my Mum and I would hear footsteps going up and down the hallway late at night. Also, if I was alone in the house I would often feel as though someone was there with me. Anyway, we became used to this and thought not much of it un...

A Little Reassurance
I have had a few supernatural experiences in my 16 years of life. Some times the things that happen are nice and make me feel loved and special to me, whilst others are terrifying and creepy.

Growing Up In A Haunted House
When I was a little girl I lived in a haunted house. There were a lot of things that happened, too many to tell you all of them but I remember some things clearly and would like to share some experiences. I don't really know when it started, I just know it seems like the house always had something there. The house was...

Things In The Night
Imagine this: You are 16, young and stupid. You decide to go to a party, but leave early to go baby-sit your brother (hey, you promised) and on your way home you see a tall figure standing on two legs in the middle of the road. All you see is it's silhouette, but as much as you can tell, this person, or thing is about ...

Uniformed Men at the Jewish Cemetery
When I was younger, my friends and I used to ride our bikes to this very old Jewish cemetery. One day we were riding there, and we were entering the main gate. I looked ahead and saw about 4 or 5 transparent men lounging and standing by one of the stones. They were dressed in uniforms, some holding beer and/or cigars....

The Light Keeper
Hi, the following happens to be a story which I find to be breathtaking, its not too long, but very real. This story happened at my grandmother's house and was witnessed by other people in my family.

Grim
This story takes place in the autumn of 2001 when I was 17. I had lived in this house since I was 7 years old. To better understand what caused this strange and extremely eerie manifestation, I will have to briefly summarize my life and childhood.

The First Mysterious Incident
CHAPTER ONE: PURSUIT OF AN EERIE LIGHT Throughout my entire life I’ve always treated each story involving the paranormal with a "grain" of salt.

Ghost Hitchhiker
Do ghosts really walk the earth? And where do they walk? These seemed like silly ideas and questions from childrens scary stories, but not anymore to me. Let me start with what was an urban legend from the whole of my island, to a smack in the face 'so this is real' experience. About 4 months ago my wife and I were dr...

Fingers
Sitting at home on January 27th, I was alone and working at the PC. I was totally involved in what I was doing and suddenly I felt the soft touch of a hand on my head, a stroke on my hair!
