My Grandad
This happened to me in early 1997 only about a month after my Grandad had passed on. I was 9 at the time, with no paranoia or fear of ghosts like I have now. My Grandad had passed at my Grandma's house in her bed I think (I was not there when he actually passed I was back home in Sydney 100km away). So I had gone to ...

The Silent Whisper
It was a darker than usual night driving along the road to the local movie theatre. I wasn't driving, I was 10 at the time, my parents were. We were meeting some family friends for dinner and a movie. The rain was coming down in sheets yet the inside of the car was muggy. My stomach started to twinge in pain. I though...

Sensitive Family?
First of all I apologize for taking so long to explain all of the events that have happened to my family. Strange experiences have always happened to members of our family and they always seem to involve the paranormal. My grandmother's family is "sensitive" to things and unfortunately my mother, brother and all of us...

Norwegian Fly
My story is not a ghost story as such, more of a very frightening experience brought on by my own stupidity. I am going back to February 1972 in Voss, Norway where the temperature was minus 20 degrees.An important point. I was on winter warfare training with about 30 other British soldiers. During the 6 weeks we were ...

Ghost Kids
Hi there, I'm 27 years old and I grew up on the San Carlos Apache Reservation here in Arizona. I used to live in a very modest little house that my grandfather built with his own hands.

Ouija Boards Aren't Always Dangerous
This happened on October 26, 2000. My mom's parents had gotten us a Halloween decoration in 1998. It never really worked the way it was supposed to. It's a pumpkin with a ghost inside that pops up and laughs. It's supposed to do that when something sets off the sensor beam that it has in the nose part of the jack-o-la...

Never Getting Out: Port Arthur
I should start with the location. Anyone who has ever been to Tasmania will know of the reputation of Port Arthur. The old penal settlement was the dumping ground for the worst prisoners and, it seems, the worst guards as well. All in all, the place has a history of violence and misery which is transmitted into the mod...

Ghost Cat (and Other Things)
Compared to some other stories I've read here, my experience was no where near as bad as some. I've been debating whether or not to tell this to you at the risk of sounding "not right"..

Iwas in the kitchen by myself. To my left was the sink. On the right side of the sink there's a counter, (of course). On that counter, next to the wall is a bread maker.

Watch What You Invite
This story may not be an actual "ghost" story. It's certainly much less glamorous than many of the tales here, and it's not overly scary.

I was ten years old when I received a music box for Christmas.

What I Learned At College
Most ghost stories can be picked apart by someone with a very analytical mind, this is no exception.

What Are You Doing In My Room?
Let me start off by saying I have ALWAYS been in love with the supernatural. When I was about 10 years old, I lived in a very old house that my grandmother used to live in and gave to us months before she died. There were rumors it was haunted, so of course, I loved the house. One day I had a dream I was walking home ...

My Dreams
I've had a few weird dreams that I remember, and decided to share. My father's mother died when he was still young, well before she's ever met my brother, sister, or I. All three of us were born in the Philippines, but we came over to the U.S. when I was one, and my brother was three. My sister stayed there until she ...

Phantom Car
One Sunday night not too many months ago....I was out with my carbon copy, my four year old daughter Shaunnessy. She'd had a late nap and I decided to tire her out with a shopping jaunt for life's necessities and a drive through some of our secluded suburban woods near the park and an historic cemetery (which I capture...

Hanging Trees & Trap Doors
This story is not my own, but that of a friend. It happened to her when she was just a little girl, but she remembers it very clearly. To make it easier I will tell it as she told me (paraphrased of course): "When I was little my mother was often sick and in the hospital. My brothers and sisters and I stayed with my m...

The Headless Woman of Berwind
This happened about four or five years ago when I was seventeen. My Dad used to go out at night to visit his friends in a small country town about 10 miles from where I used to live. I used to ask him to go, and he always said no, but one night he let me. It was about 2am, and I got a little sleepy, so I told my dad ...

Cemetery Man
This still sends chills down my spine, just recollecting it, but I thought I would share it, regardless of how unbelievable it sounds (because if it wasn't my own experience, I'd be somewhat hesitant believing it myself). This happened in the summer (I don't recall exactly which month) in 1999, when myself and two fri...

Roadside Assistance (1)
Before I begin, I must tell you that this was never meant to be a "legend" or a ghost story so please excuse my lack of creativity on the title, it was something that really happened to my family when I was little. I was about 7 or 8 years old and my family and I were on our way home from our cousin's wedding at a ran...

The Ghosts at Chashtown Inn
My husband at the time (we are divorced now) went to visit Gettysburg, PA. I love American Civil War stuff, so we went to stay at Cashtown Inn. We were the first to arrive. If anyone has stayed at a B&B they know that they have journals in the rooms, so you can read what other people have experienced. I was reading t...

Premonition From My Mother
This isn't really a ghost story, but rather a story of a premonition I received from my mother. My mother passed away suddenly in her home last year. She hadn't been feeling well for a few days, but no one thought it was anything serious. I had been visiting for the last couple of days to see if she wanted anything or...

Nightmare on 12th Street
This occurred during the time I spent in Klamath Falls Oregon with my mother and Stepfather. We lived in a run down house with a full basement. There was only one entrance to the basement which was through the kitchen and we kept the door locked at all times since we did not want anyone leaving the door open for fear ...

What A Strange House!
Some of my earliest memories are of things that just didn't belong. When I was very small, I would hear a noise like dice rolling on our kitchen table in the middle of the night, and see floating lights in the hallway outside of our bedrooms. When we had moved from that house, we moved to a house that was built on an I...

Mrs. Reilly
My husband and I bought our home about 2 years ago. It had been vacant for some time before that because the previous owner had died and her husband had gone into a nursing center. At the time, I had a job where I worked at home a lot of the time. One day shortly after we moved in, our doorbell rang. I answered it onl...

I Just Seem To Attract Them
Ever since I was little I remember being interested in spirts and the unexplained. I guess weird things had always happened to me but not like the three recent events. One morning in April, 2000 I was lying in my bed at my parents N.S.W. home when I felt a presence in the room. Thinking it was Mum putting away my wash...

Maybe They Called Her Mother
When I was three years old, my family and I lived in a small town in the South. My father was a Baptist minister and pastored a church there. I began having, I guess, my first paranormal experiences in that town, but of course I was really too young then to remember. My sister tells me that I refused to sleep in my ro...

Hi! This is my story, and I promise it is true. So here it goes: Five years ago, doctors found that I have Diabetes. My mom was very sad.
