Encounters With My Grandfather
All my life I have encountered many paranormal and unexplained experiences since I was three-years-old. I am a true sensitive but still at times skeptical even after many experiences. These two experiences I will share is dear to my heart and inspirational. This is about my late grandfather who passed away when I was e...

The Thing on the Ceiling
This not the first encounter I have had with the paranormal but is one that stands out in my mind often. When I was 11 years old my younger cousin and I were spending the night at my grandmother's. She was not your everyday loving grandma, but she was loving. She just like to scare the bajeebies out of you. Anyway, gra...

Our Protective Spirits
We had numerous incidents. There were always heavy footsteps, sounding like a person in boots upstairs in the attic. Sometimes I heard them coming down the stairs or on the front porch at night. I had babysitters come to the house to watch my children while I worked nights, but I had trouble keeping them. They said the...

Demon in the Hall Tree Chair
We inherited a lot of antiques from my mother-in-law when she passed. One item in particular gave me the scare of my life! The hall tree chair always gave me chill bumps when I was near it in mother-in-law's house, but the minute it was in our house I started feeling "something" was connected to the chair. I started se...

The Ghosts Set the Table
Most ghost stories are creepy. They hint at some unhappy soul lurking just beyond reality waiting to do us harm. The Riverhaven cabin is haunted, but the ghosts there seem pleasant and inviting. Riverhaven is a cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It is described by the reality company as pleasant and comfortable. This hist...

The Dog We Tried to Save
About one week ago my daughter called me from work asking me if I would take in a dog that had been hit by a car and that they just thought both its back legs were broke. I said yes, and while her friend was bringing her to me, I was getting a cage with bedding, blankets, papers, food, and water ready for her arrival. ...

The Brown-Robed Figure
I was about sixteen-years-old when this happened and I remember it like it was yesterday. One evening I was lying on the sofabed watching TV. It was around 11pm-12am, when I heard the backdoor to the house started shaking violently. I sat up on the bed, leaned over, looked through the kitchen (there was an unobstructed...

An Arm Across Our Windshield
To start my story off I must first tell you that I was about ten years old when this happened, and both of my parents were witness to this mysterious event. I've spent the past twenty years trying to figure out how to define what happened to us that night. In Montana it's quite common to mark fatalities on the highway...

The Cold, Haunted Mansion
I don't quite remember what day this happened in December, but it was early on in the month.

There were three houses, I'm not sure how to describe it, but they all went together. They were houses a litt...

Ginger's Nightly Visits
My very first "encounter" that I had experienced was when I was about 8 or 9 years old. My parents had to make the agonizing decision to put our beloved family dog down to rest. Ginger was 16 years old at the time and was very ill. Her entire body was riddled with cancerous tumors. I was at school at the time when she ...

One More Snuggle With Critter
Between 1979 to 1992 I had a big orange cat named Critter. And oh, how I loved this cat! It was all too soon when I had to euthanize him due to his being tired. This particular night in question (14 years after he died), I was fast asleep when I woke up for whatever reason in the wee hours of the morning. There, cuddle...

Bowl, Pestle, and Bad Luck
I think we may need help. In the early winter of 2005 my husband was digging the pond on our property to deepen it when he dug up an Indian bowl and brought to the house to show me. The next day he found the pestle. It was identified by an Indian friend as a medicine bowl. Later that winter I woke to see my husband sta...

Apparition at Tower Heights Cemetery
Me and my friend Emily are very interested in the paranormal. There is a cemetery behind our school that I always get the creeps from. It's a pretty big cemetery called Tower Heights.

It was October 1, 2009 at 1:29 AM. I was out in our back yard doing some filming for some people that wanted some video of our property for a TV special — you know, to get an idea of what's going on here.

I was age 14 and was up most of the night. I was feeling very down due to family problems.

The Cloudy Figure
One week during the winter months I had three different encounters in my room. The first was in the afternoon when I had just finished reading a book and my TV had been off for hours, but I noticed a strange cloudy body-like shape on the screen next to me. I wiped it, but it didn't go away and that was when I noticed t...

Burning Our Ouija Board
I wanted to share with you an occurrence that convinced me that there is more to this world than what we can see. I was merely seven years old growing up in a typical turn of the century home in the Midwest. I can recall many happenings that made me fearful. Being a small child, that is typical. It was not until I bega...

The Man in the Lab Coat
In 1979 I was in the U.S. Army, stationed in Giessen as a veterinary technician for the medical service. We had a vet clinic in an old, WW II-era, three-story, barracks-type building on the U.S. Army post in Giessen. Our veterinary clinic was at one end of the building, on the first floor with four rooms off a long, ce...

Brown Palace Hotel Ghost
My name is Christina and the story I'm going to tell is actually my father, Robert Brown's. In 2005 my parents and I were staying at a hotel in Michigan when we saw this TV program on the Travel Channel about ghosts. On the show it featured a place called The Brown Palace Hotel. At the time my parents were planning on ...

Broken Glass and Whispering Voices
This is the story of my experience with the shadow on the wall. This encounter took place at what was my then my work place. I'm not sure if it is my imagination or not, but what I saw made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and shook me up a bit. In December my mother and my two brothers moved into a new home i...

Mom's Message From Beyond
My mother's health declined fairly rapidly the last couple of years of her life. During this time, we had many conversations about life after death. She was a southern Baptist and believed in Heaven and Hell. I, of course, agreed with her. Around this time, I became a paranormal investigator. My mother was always prett...

Premonition Dream and My Dead Pet
I had a dream that a demon was trying to possess me, but I kept praying to God that the demon would leave me alone. It would enter people I have known throughout my life and it would manifest in different physical ways, such as if it was in their body and you could see their flesh and their arms and face move as if som...

Girl in Her Easter Dress
This photograph is amazing photograph of a young girl in a peach dress by the trees. The story goes like this: It was about six days before Easter of this year. I was out walking around on our property, which is known to be haunted. I normally take a spot in the back yard by one of our large statues that are standing ...

Encounters on a Ghost Tour
I have two brief encounters (not very sensational but absolutely true) to relate — both of which occurred on ghost tours in New South Wales, Australia. The first was at Rydalmere, on a tour of grounds which at various times in their history housed lunatics and orphans (and now, university students). In brief, we were t...

Someone in the Attic
Before this happened I had no reason to believe in the afterlife, ghosts, or anything of this nature. This incident put me on the map to believing. My mother was pregnant with my baby sister so we were all there in Temple, Texas, in my daddy-pa's old house. I remember playing in the fields all around this house back wh...

The Spirit In Black
I was around five or six, maybe a little bit older. Our house was near a cemetery. My mom and I were sitting in our living room when all of a sudden my older sister starts screaming for no reason. So I went up the stairs to the second floor to check on her. I opened the door and there was a man or a shadow of a man sta...

The Body in the Pool
I was visiting California on a school trip. My friends and I were hanging out in the hotel's hot tub. We were playing truth or dare. I was dared to leave the hot tub and dive into the cold pool, then run back to the hot tub. I got out and went to the edge of the pool. Looking at the clear water, I dove in. Next thing I...

Bright Jack-O-Lanterns
It was Halloween night 2004. My mother was having her usual Halloween dinner. She really gets into her holidays and had her house decorated to the hilt. My two nephews both brought a jack-o-lantern that they each proudly carved to add to my mother's outside décor. After dinner my mother, sister, brother-in-law, two nep...

Strong Odor and Darting Shadows
I live with my mother in a rather rural area. Our house was built by our landlord, and was built on a lot that originally held a small gas station. I don't know much about the history of this area or our home beyond that. Anyway, my mother started to complain that she was smelling an extremely foul odor in the house in...

The Black Mist in Our Home
We bought and moved into a house in Marysville, California, in September-October of '06. The house was built in 1976 and had four bedrooms and an add-on, making it five in total. We know nothing about who lived in it before us other then what we learned by word of mouth from people who knew them or lived next to us. Wi...

Ghost of a Runaway Slave in My Car
I was in the Navy at the time, and stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. I was driving to Houston, Texas, on leave and had been on the road all night and alone. My diet had consisted of no-doz and Coke, and it was coming on 2-3 AM. I remember seeing something out of the corner of my eye, so when I turned to look, I was surpr...

Accident Premonition
It was raining heavily that night, I was on my way back from the night class. I boarded a double-decker bus. Thinking that it might be more quite to take a nap upstairs, I took a seat on the center of the bus in the upper part. The bus takes 30 minutes to reach the terminal, which was near where I stayed. I closed my e...

Attempted Possession
I was about 13 when my brother went in to the Army and I was given his old bedroom. The size of the room was much bigger than the one I was moving out of so I set aside the uneasy feeling I had about the room from the start. The whole time that I worked at cleaning up the room and moving in, I had the feeling of someon...

My Mischievous Faery
I have something in my house. I don't know if it's a ghost, I don't believe it's human. It's been scrambling around in my cupboards for a while now, but I don't think it's a rat or squirrel, because there are no other signs (droppings, stored food, etc.). Also, I live in an apartment complex, so others would have the s...

Ghostly Tricks
It was about 4:00 in the afternoon and I had just gotten home from school. My mother had left me a note telling me to clean up the house because we had company coming over. I was in a hurry because I had to pick up the entire house by myself in about 30 minutes. I had just gotten done doing all the dishes and cleaning ...

My Cat's 9/11 Premonition
I have told very few people this, and I have never told this story on a forum such as this. I had a very loving cat named Miss Churchill. She was my faithful and loving friend for just short of 18 years. She passed on last November, two days after my birthday. All of her life, she used to tell me in her actions and bo...

A Civil War General
My friend and I were up late as always, and just outside my room I felt a chill. My room is at the end of the hall, closest to the door, so I didn't think anything of it at first. On my way to the kitchen to get a drink, I felt the chill again. Then I heard footsteps. It wasn't my friend, any of my three cats, or two d...

During that summer I was staying with my grandma at the seaside. She lived in an apartment that was very close to a graveyard. One evening I was in bed and it was very dark. Suddenly, I saw a very bright figure that looked like a nun. I couldn't see her features because it was really very bright. It just walked right i...

My Protective Ghost Friend
I live in a small town in North-Central Indiana, and have been having what most would consider paranormal experiences for as long as I can remember. As a child, I grew up in an old Victorian house that was one of the first buildings built in that part of town. The house was built in 1900, I believe. I can remember goi...
