The Ghosts of Iverson’s Pits
It was early September 2000, and I was on a solo trip to Gettysburg for 4 days. It was my second trip there, because I had decided to take in the sites I had missed previously and get a better understanding of the sequence of the battle. I had with me what I found to be the best self-guided tour source in print, Gettys...

The Ghost Who Doesn't Like Men
The year that I moved into my current residence, I always had a feeling that something was a bit off, to the point that I didn't even want to move in. But I was pregnant with my second child and this house was affordable. Immediately after I moved in, strange things starting happening. My husband at the time (soon to ...

The Old Aunt's House
When I was nine years old my family moved into an old two-story farm house in the country. When we moved into this house it was at least a hundred years old. This house was in need of repairs, but my mother could see this place was going to make a perfect, happy home. It ended up being a haunted home as well.  My mom ...

The Ghost of Opus
As I lay in bed, waiting for my snooze to expire, I heard my cat, Rhythm, eating from her dish in the bathroom. When the radio blared to life again, it startled her and I discovered that she was actually next to me on the bed. I realized that it must be Opus. Opus, my wonderful black and white cat (named after that fa...

Dad's Last Visit
It was approximately 11 PM and my mother and I had just returned home from the hospital visiting my father. He had been in and out of the hospital due to diabetes, heart condition, and pneumonia. My mother was in her bedroom getting ready for bed. I was in my room, around the corner from hers, fiddling with the radio n...

The Glowing Window
I have had spirit encounters all of my life, and have come to enjoy the majority of them. Sometimes, though, they are not so pleasant and I find them highly annoying, though not frightening. One of the most annoying fellows visited me several times while I was living in a duplex in the foothills of the Angeles forest. ...

Grandmere's Gift
I was told my Grandmere (as we say in Cajun for Grandmother) was always "odd." She passed away when I was seven, but I can remember as far back as three years old her always telling me, "Cher, you got the gift, I done give it to you. Now, use it, I tell you." Of course, as a small child I never knew what she meant. But...

Grandma's Dusty Sign
Just the other day I was using a new digital camera and while playing around with it I took a picture of another picture of my grandmother who has been gone for 10 years come this March.

The Ghostly Roommate
I moved into a Victorian house a couple of years ago with my family. I already thought there was something up with the house. It's got this eerie feeling to it, but my parents said it was my imagination, so I kind of left it at that. But so many things have happened. I saw a woman in black standing on the stairs while...

Captain Tony's Saloon's Haunted Bathroom
I was told that the women's bathroom in Captain Tony's was haunted but I didn't believe it. I was dared to go in. As soon as I walked in, my head felt extremely heavy and I walked out.

My encounter involves the youngest of my three older brothers, and me. When I was 10 years old, my mother moved to America in order to get a job, and be able to provide us four kids with a better life.

Bringing Evil Home
I used to play with the Ouija Board — I was 11 years old then. I conjured up a person who said his name was Arthur. Arthur actually spent all of his time with me until I was 13 years old.

Mr. Ruckman's Mansion
Back in 1970 my (then) husband and I went to Runge to explore the abandoned Ruckman Mansion. We took two obedience trained German Shepherds with companion dog titles.

The Man in the Overcoat
My husband and I lived in a lot of apartments before we finally bought our house. One of the strangest was a unit in what had been an "apartment hotel" back in the 1920's, and then had become a flophouse in the Depression.

The Apartment in the Former Morgue
I always keep an open mind about ghosts, mostly because of this story. In 1984 I was invited to a co-workers apartment in which he and his wife lived. The apartment happened to be the basement of an old hospital used from the late 1800s into the early 1900s and his apartment was where the morgue used to be located. Whi...

This is a true and accurate event that even I wouldn't believe if I hadn't been there and had my mother with me at the time to reassure me that it did indeed happen and that I am not crazy. Both my mother and myself worked at the American Legion Post #6, this particular post is in a 100+ year old building and it has be...

The Boy on the Rock
Hey, it feels funny writing about a ghostly encounter, given that I was a staunch skeptic regarding all such matters. But then, that's life. Anyways, I'm a 23 year old guy who writes for a living. And for once I am writing stuff that I am not making up!  This happened during my summer trip to my relatives' place. My g...

Amli Apartments Ghosts
I lived in the Amli Apartments on the Kennesaw battle grounds in Kennesaw, Georgia. In fact, one of the selling points of this particular apartment is a historic trail behind the complex marking several Civil War battles that took place there. I lived there for a year and I had several strange encounters. I want to be...

Gawler's Tree Ghost
I live in Hackham West and was going to my friend's house in Gawler — the other side of Adelaide. We were talking about places that are haunted in Gawler. My friend and her family took me to Dead Man's Pass which is a nice walking place or park — it's also said to be haunted by the ghost of a man who was found dead and...

The Ghost of Ceely Rose
I must be upfront: Before I share my ghost story, I want to point out that I have written a play about the people involved in this haunting, and I am currently writing a book about it. So, yes, it does stand to benefit me publicity-wise if this story becomes more well known. I want to acknowledge this before any skepti...

Ghostly Stalker
First of all here's some background on me: I just turned a teenager about two years ago come this June. Well, I didn't think much of it until I was reading on this site trying to figure out some of the odd things that have been happening to me. I wonder if it might actually be a ghost stalking me? About six maybe seve...

Jerry's Visit to Say Goodbye
One night I was watching TV in the dark when I noticed that on the wall facing me there was a square of light. There was nothing in it, just the square. I turned around to see where it might be coming from, but I couldn't see anything different. I looked at it a few more times, then I forgot about it went to bed. Later...

Grandpa's Message
I guess I need to start with my family history: I am an only-child. So is my father. As was his father and his father before him. An unbroken string of "only sons" since before the Civil War. I was a happy kid. No broken homes for us; both my paternal and maternal great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents stayed t...

Seeing the Light
I must start out by saying that as far as the paranormal goes, I had never really been sure of anything. In other words maybe yes and maybe no. Up until June 25th, 2002, I had never had any kind of contact with the departed. But something happened to me that I can't explain, and I can only attribute it to the paranorma...

Haunted Homes I Have Lived In
First off, I'd like to say that I really appreciate your site. So far, I have found a lot of interesting things to read and learn. It's great to read other people's tales of true hauntings, because in a way, it's like sharing war stories with other veterans. These tales, if nothing else, really make a person think…  I...

The Rapping and Disembodied Voice
On Saturday, I took my 18 year old son for a haircut at the new boutique around the corner from my home. I happen to know the owner (also a hairdresser/realtor) and wanted to get my son's hair straightened out. Anyway, with the new girl cutting hair and my friend not there, strange things began to occur. I was behind ...

Grandmother in the Shed
This happened in or around 1998 or so. My mom, my step-dad and I lived in an older character home, on a very quiet street in a nice neighborhood. The house was older, and it had a huge backyard with a really old brown shed/garage type thing. I was about 14 at the time. There were two separate incidents at this house. ...

Aunt Flo's Saving Grace
I have really bad asthma. My doctors tell me that if there was another name for it, that's what I would be. One day my chest felt tight so I took my breathing machine. Then I told my mom because it didn't really help. She told me to try and relax and maybe go to sleep. When I tried to go to sleep I saw this woman stand...

Missing Hot Sauce and Candied Hearts
In 1970, my boyfriend Ray and I were living in Brooklyn, New York — in an Italian neighborhood near Park Slope. We rented a small apartment above a grocery store on 5th Avenue. There were two apartments on the second floor, and we moved into the one facing the street. Just after moving in, I was talking to a shopkeeper...

Red Dot in a Fog
I've always believed in spirits. I've seen them all my life, but this encounter was really weird. It started three days before my birthday, June 12, and hasn't ended yet. Three days before my birthday, I went upstairs to get some Tylenol for my step-mom, and in the reflection of the polished cabinet I saw someone move....

Mother's Kept Promise
My mother and I believe in ghosts and the supernatural and we quite often discussed it.  One day when we were talking, my mother said, "When I die I will let you know for sure if there is an afterlife." I agreed at first then I told her that I changed my mind because it would totally freak me out.  In November, 1994 ...
