Ghosts in My Room Kept Me Awake

People say that kids get in touch with the supernatural more than adults. What they say is true! I'm 12 years old and I've had many ghost experiences in the past. I tell these true stories to my friends and people that are willing to hear them. There is one experience that I've had recently.

A few weeks ago I was living in a different city with my mom and brother, while my dad was at work. I was sleeping one night and I was awakened by something moving on my bed. Before I went to sleep I watched TV and left my school bag on my bed. Once I fell asleep, my foot was on top of my school bag. Then I felt something move in it. My school bag was empty, no books or pencils, nothing. That 'something' in my bag kept moving as if there was something wanting to come out. I had the chills knowing that there was nothing in my bag, so I placed my foot on the opposite side of my bed. But during the night my foot ended up on top of my bag and again there was something moving in it. I didn't want to panic so I kicked the bag to the floor. Then my closet started to make noises as if there was something inside about to come out and grab me. But I went back to sleep anyway. Then I heard my door rattling and about to open I didn't know what to do so I did the only thing I needed to do, I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't, my eyes were closed tight, but my ears were wide open. My house has two floors and I was upstairs, my room is close to the stairs so I can hear people coming. Since it was night time, no one was outside, so if no one was outside their rooms, how come I heard footsteps coming up the stairs getting closer and closer to my door, and I could hear whispering voices outside my door? But somehow I managed to go to sleep. To this day I still wonder what was outside my door whispering.

Strange Shadowy Figure

About four or five years ago I had turned nine. I invited my friend to come over to spend the night. When he came over, we were having fun, we played computer games and made up games to play outside. That night my entire family went to sleep, mom told me and my friend to go to bed, although it was suppose to be my sleep over. We decided that we would just wait till my family went to sleep and just get back up. So we turned on the computer in my room and was looking up funny things. We were laughing and having a good time, until the lights just flashed off. It was very strange, no bad weather or anything else. I suddenly got scared. I went to my closet and got a flashlight. I turned the flashlight on and to my surprise, I thought I saw a little tiny red dots on the walls. I walked closer to see what they were. To my surprise the red dots started oozing down! I got my friend to look at the weird dots. He claimed that he didn't see a thing. I was shocked. The dots seemed to combine, making a letter C. I don't know what the letter meant. But just after I saw it I heard laughter and saw a black figure run across my room. The figure vanished and my door seemed to open by itself and then shut.

My friend said that he saw the door open and close but not the rest. I wonder why I saw the figure and what the letter C meant. You should have saw the look on my face!

My House has Spirits Everywhere

My mom, step-dad, stepsisters, and I moved into a big house about a year or so ago. It was on the market for about three years though, and we needed a big house, for our big family. So we moved in and it seemed strange for me. It was hollow and full of space. You see when we first moved in I was currently in 5th grade, now I am in middle school. I believe in Lycanthropy (disease that makes you like a werewolf) so, I've been studying for a cure.

My room has a bathroom and a closet and whenever I'm up at night or in the early morning someone usually calls my name and I answer by saying, "Yeah" or "What," when no one is up except for me. Then I go and check my parents room and they're asleep and snoring to their hearts content. I feel creeped out and usually then turn some music on or go on my laptop.

If you are outside of my bedroom and you are facing the door, you would feel a sudden could rush of air at your feet. Like a stream, or a current, out of air. When my room is warm and heated you will still feel the cold air flowing under you. Apparently, there was a movie star or something and people said that she could communicate with spirits, now I think that tale is true.

Downstairs where the kitchen, study, gym, family, and dining room are, has some weird happenings too. Like you hear soft knocks and bangs in the walls when you are home alone. Sometimes you can hear people running a little bit and no one is there when just you is reading on the couch, or watching TV.

The basement is a whole different story. You can hear louder bangs in the walls, and they're more severe, and demanding. Sometimes a puck for air hockey would be moved and inch since you saw it before you turned around. There are strange bursts or cold and warm air suddenly when its just room temperature. There are also strange, dark shadows appearing and disappearing in the corner of your eye. But the creepiest thing of all is the haunted giant rocking horse. It moves in the night, and it follows your every step with its big angry eyes.

As I wrote this the knocking was constant and loud.

Ghost in the Living Room

I remember this one like it happened yesterday. It happened about ten years or so but I was in my senior year. Anyway, here's how it happened.

I was at the den looking at pictures and I vividly remember checking the time because it was getting late. I remember the time being exactly 3 am in the morning. I put the albums away and I turned off the light in the den. I was on my way to go upstairs, when I suddenly felt a cold sensation around the house so I turned around and I saw this person (in black) standing by our piano. My house gets really dark so either you know your way around or you can use a flashlight. I knew my way around but for some reason I had a flashlight at the time. So I turned around and I saw this person in black by the piano and as soon as I got closer to that ghost the light got brighter and brighter. It was just really bright and the clothing I think was black but I was just so terrified that I froze and it took me like a couple of seconds to react.

I don't know why that person showed up to me and I never will. I remember telling my family the next day but they basically thought nothing of it and really didn't believe me but I'm a believer because I've seen it.

Strange Creature in the Bush

The story starts on a nice summer day when me and my cousin were outside talking. We heard a noise in the bushes. Now if your thinking so what, it's a few small bushes, you wrong. It's a huge hedge.

Well anyway, my cousin went in and was there for a couple minutes, then he started running out of the bushes with a bruise on his arm. He was out of breath so he couldn't talk long enough for me to hear a weird noise. Then he said that he went in the hedge (we cut paths with bush cutters) and he hit his foot. When he sat down, he said that after five seconds he heard a noise like the one I heard when he ran out and he looked up.

Before he went in I made him swear on the good book that he wasn't lying, and he did. Now that I knew he wasn't lying, I let him continue his story. He said he saw a thing with a pig face and nasty, knotty, greasy tangled black hair. He said it had a stick and swung it at him when he ran, and that's how he got the bruise. Well,that's the end of this story and if you don't believe me, don't it's not like I care. No one ever does.

Little Girl in My Room

Whenever I'm in my room alone weird things happen. I have a huge example and I swear on everything I'm not making it up.

Last year at my birthday party (April 5th, 2008) I had some friends over to spend the night for a pool party, well before we all had cake we were playing around in my room then went to sit in my hallway. My cousin was sitting on my back because I was laying on the floor and my two friends were sitting right next to us.

Right in between the guest room and my moms room we all saw a big dark figure, it looked like it was a man. We started screaming and ran downstairs. We told my cousin and her boyfriend what happened and he came up to see if there was anything up here and he said he felt "a very strong presence" in my room! I switched rooms and now I have a room with two doors. One that leads to the attic and one to my old bedroom. Sometimes I will see a little girl in the door that leads to my old room. I would get so scared and start to cry because I don't know what to do ! but I feel like whenever I'm in my room I'm being watched just like I am when I'm writing this at 12:25  am. I'm getting real cold and starting to get chills. Well just thought I'd share it with you. I will write again if it happens again.

The Dark Unknown

When my cousin was little she sometimes saw things. My aunt said that children could do special things before they hit a certain age. When my cousin was four years old, she was on her couch and was jumping off again and again. Well about the third time she did it, she actually took three steps in the air before going down. She wasn't high enough for anyone to do that.

Then our cousin, about two years old, went to the refrigerator and just stared at it and then it opened and he started walking to it and then my aunt went and closed it before he got to it.

Another time, Ray was about four also when she saw a black figure go down her hallway several times. She got tired of it and said, "mom what's that black thing?" and she didn't know what she was talking about. But the figure went through a wall in the hallway and it didn't come back.

Then her sister (when she was little) was playing with her toys and she all of a sudden looked up and started nodding her head and talking. We didn't know what it was. There have been a lot of encounters so I cant say I don't believe in ghosts.

The Ghost Of Ella Hall Lake

When I was out on a canoe/camping/fishing trip in Minnesota, I was accompanied by my dad and Jason, our guide. Jason said we will tell ghost stories around the campfire and you wouldn't be disappointed. Well, I wasn't. We were on the trip by Ella Hall Lake and his ghost story was this....

It all started when a girl named Ella from the Hall family was born. She then went to school but they moved to the lake. She did not like moving away from the school in Ely, Minnesota, so she felt it was her prison. She wanted away from the lake that she tried a get away. She paddled out in a canoe half the way across the lake. Her sister saw it and came after here. Ella stood up in the canoe, not believing the rule NO STANDING UP IN THE CANOE, and then the canoe flipped and she hit her head and got knocked unconscious. Ella then drowned and nobody saw her for a while.

Some people say that they see ripples in the water on a full moon night, just like when she drowned. She rises up out of the lake and weeps. Supposedly she looks like a skeleton, no skin, only bones. I haven't seen her personally, but I believe this story. Then went dawn breaks, she goes back into her grave against her will on the smaller island on Ella Hall Lake.

Creepy Sightings

One day when I was walking to Wal-Mart with my older brother, it was in the afternoon, with a clear sky, when there was this shadow of darkness.. unexplainable. I thought it was a cloud covering the sun but when I looked up there was no cloud in sight. The dogs at the gate were barking and howling and other than that there was no sound but this whispering thing, my brother heard it too and decided we should stay on the sidewalk.

After we left Wal-Mart it was dusk. And we were walking down this one road and there was a bunch of dead trees and bushes to the side. There was this eerie, unearthly growl and then a roar in the shrubs and after looking between the bush, there was a hairy creature, about the size of a full-grown wolf, with red eyes. Being a little kid at the time my brother and I just ran home from there and the creature was running after us. I was looking toward the bushes and the thing was running about twice as fast as we were, when we stopped it disappeared.

It reminds me of the skinwalker ranch thing you have on here and it freaked the crap out of me. I swore I wouldn't tell anyone but after reading something that sounded similar to what I saw I just wanted to know the truth.

I prefer to remain anonymous as to not draw attention from OGA's and media. I just want to know what's really out there.

Relationships My Moms Suicide

One day me and my mom decided to go out for a ride, because we just got into an argument. We drove off into the middle of nowhere trying to have some time to talk. It was getting late so we ended staying at a motel. It looked like it wasn't used in years.

We were given an old dirty room, it had dirty blankets, toilet paper, and no windows. The place already creeped me out and so did the owner. He was dirty and smelly. I felt weird. I told my mom I wanted to go home and all she did was say, "We have no place else to stay and we don't have no privacy at home". So all I did and moaned and groaned back at her. She told me we couldn't leave until we solved the problem. I went into my room and shut the door.

My closet door was creaking. I shouted Mom? No answer. So I yelled again and again, but still no answer. I went to my moms room but she wasn't there. I went to the front desk and they said my mom had checked out. I ran to my room I was given and went to grab my cell phone and there it all started - low battery. I went to charge my phone. About an hour later I checked to see if my phone was charged but the charger was cut. I thought to myself this couldn't be happening. I went to the bathroom to go take a shower to leave and there it was my mom died hanging. I regret it until this day not respecting her and not talking to her when I had the chance.

Visions of the Future?

Okay I'm going to get right to the point. I was about six or seven around the time this happened and I was living in New York.

I had one little brother and my mom was pregnant with another one (although at this time I didn't know as she didn't tell me). One day as she was giving my little brother Dakarai his bath she said that I walked up to the bathroom in a trance like look and said, "I know you're having another one." She said, "another what?" And my response was, "another baby, a boy." She was surprised because she didn't even know the sex of the baby and she didn't tell me that she was pregnant.

She said I went on to say that, "he's going to be great." She said, "Who? Who's going to be great?" My response was "My Little brother he is going to be great he is going to great things" she then told me I kind of snapped out of it and said, "hey Mommy," as if that never happened.

My mom told me this whole story. What does it mean? And yes the following year she had a little boy.

Green Lady in the Victorian Coat

When my dad was a little boy he and his friends were playing in some old cottages that were due to be pulled down. This was in my home town of Taunton, England in the late fifties. They ran through the house to the walled garden at the back of the house.

He clearly remembers that there were no doors or gates out of the garden, the only way out was back through the house. As they reached the back door they saw an old lady in a long green coat leaning over. She seemed to be tending to something in the soil in the garden. They stopped dead in their tracks as they knew that they were trespassing. Dad says he and his friends turned and legged it out the front of the house and hid behind some bushes and watched and waited for her to come after them.

After ten minutes nothing happened so they quietly crept back inside and the lady was no where to be seen. They checked the garden and the whole house, she could not have got past them either. He just remembers her green Victorian coat she wore.

Dream of a Past Life?

My name is Anna and I have been having a weird dream ever since I can remember. In my dream I live in a mansion with a carriage house. I am dressed in petticoats and dress in the style of the 1700's or 1800's. I have an older sister and a younger brother. In this dream they are my family and in it I found out that my grandparents were murdered and no one knew who did it.

There is this girl though (maybe 19 or 20) that admitted to me that she tried to kill me (here is the strange part )in the life I am in now but she didn't succeed. She then told me she was going to kill my younger brother (in the dream) and she ran away with a knife.

The thing is the house has secret passages, so I hid my younger brother in a secret room. The girl told me she would kill me and then she ran at me with a knife and then I woke up. I just want to know if this is like a past life dream because I have been having this dream for a long time. I just need an answer. Thank you for taking your time to read this story. Please don't think I'm weird.

The Whispering Ghost

About a year or two ago I went  on vacation in Ohio. It was me, my four siblings, mom and dad, aunt  and uncle and cousins. We were spending the night at family's house. Across from their house was a coffin house, a coffin house is a house that is full of dead people in those coffins. I was so scared. They had signs  and everything.

Well later that night me and my older cousin had to go outside to find her mothers keys so she asked me to come with her. I was dumb enough to say ok. We went outside and we went to the car, we were standing right there then my cousin said she heard breathing by her ear. I screamed and when she opened the door I went right in front of her and got inside, I was scared. Then I remembered the house across the street. When we opened the door when we got in lights went on then my cousin shut the door and the lights went off. I screamed. Then we heard a noise coming from the back seat, we turned around and her dog Harley was there. After a couple minutes in the car my other cousin came outside and turned on the lights. We started screaming at her to leave the lights on and she did. Me and my cousin ran out of the car. I was so happy to be in light.

I still tell the story and hope Halloween is near.

Ghost Dog in Mercersburg Pennsylvania

This story happened to my older sister when we lived in our old house on the outskirts of Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. My neighbors, who also happened to be my aunt and uncle, had a dog named Harley.

One day, he bit a delivery person and they had him put down. They buried him in the backyard and for awhile nothing happened. Then one day when my sister was laying in her room reading a book with the door shut, the door suddenly flew open and she heard a deep growl in the doorway, then it was over. Harley hated kids and wasn't to fond of my sister very much so I believe it was his ghost that had come to her.

For awhile after that, whenever I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth or something, I would feel like I was being watched by something that stood in the doorway or out in the hallway and watched me. Whether it was Harley or something else, I don't know, but it did scare me. And then we moved and I haven't experienced anything since.

The ghost of my old neighbor's dog seemed to have haunted us for awhile.

Weird Cat Ghost in our House

Hi, I live in a small house in Lynchburg, Virginia. We have a large back yard and some friends of ours live in a large log cabin behind our yard. Their house builder hung himself for unknown reasons. It started a few months ago.

First, we had a calico cat. One day she just disappeared. The day after she disappeared I was sitting in our backyard. All of a sudden I saw her run right in front of me and vanish in midair. Then a few months later I was sleeping in bed. I have a picture of her on the wall beside my bed. All of a sudden I heard a really loud crash at the foot of my bed. I immediately froze up and curled up under my cover. I heard a cat licking itself and purring right beside me. Then a few weeks later when I was home alone I was walking down the hallway to my room and I saw a black sheet flapping at the end of the hallway. Then the next day I was home alone and I was in the living room. We have an old time radio in our kitchen and I was sitting in the living room alone. The radio turned on and went to a station I never listen to. So that is all, for now!

Haunted Tent

OK when I was like nine or ten I wanted to go camping but it was winter so me and my mother set up a small tent in my bedroom, then that night I went to sleep. The next morning I a woke to hearing a strange sound, this was at seven in the morning or something like that so all my family was asleep. I listened carefully to the noise and it was a woman humming something, so I stayed quiet and the woman was singing the wedding song that usually means the bride is coming down the lane, you know the song (Here comes the bride... Here comes the bride...etc.) At this point I was freaking out and I didn't know what to do so I just stayed still with my eyes wide open. (Remember everyone was sleeping that means TVs were also off).

When I finally got the courage to look behind me because it sounded like it was in the tent nothing was there so I got out to look and nothing was there by this time the humming stopped, so I thought I was just hearing things so I went to lay down again as soon as a closed my eyes the humming began again. my heart was pounding in my ears because I was so freaked out so a got up and ran to my parents room and woke my mother up to tell her. She took my hand and led me back to my room. She tested it out by laying down but nothing happened so she told me to relax and she would take down the tent right away. After that I never touched the tent again and we put it in the garbage the following year. The strange thing was we just bought the tent brand new from Wal-mart not too long after that and to this day I still remember the humming of the ghostly bride.

The Schooner Hotel

My Dad is a Ghost-Hunter. He love's the Paranormal.

One day my dad took me, my brother and my mam along to the Schooner Hotel for a meal (he also went on an investigation there with his Ghost-Busting team). As we sat down my 7 year old brother wanted the loo so my dad took him whilst my mam and I sat at the table waiting for our order.

All of a sudden I saw a little boy run into the room and back out again I thought it was my brother so I shouted him over but as I turned around there was no one there. My dad and George came back and said they also noticed something weird that when my brother went in the loo my dad waited outside and George came runnin' out sayin' that he heard a man growl.

When we told the staff they said that a man haunts the bathroom and he doesn't like kids. We also asked them if there were anything else. They said a boy haunts the dining room so I then realized that was the little boy who I thought were my brother! The building is over 100 years old and has had a lot of suicide and murders in it's 100 years. Next time think that we will choose a other pub for dinner where there might be only spirits that we drink!

Camping Terror

It was in the summer and my family and I went camping like we do every year. This place was called Punderson. Everything went good at first in the day time but at night weird stuff started happening. Everyone was at the camp fire having a good time but I happen to look over my shoulder and I seen a 6 foot man or what ever it was. I jumped and screamed and my family told me that is was my brother going in the cooler but I really didn't know what the hell it was so I let it go. I tried to enjoy myself but I had a bad feeling the whole night.

Before it was time to go to bed my brother and I decided to go to the bathroom. As we was walking I was hearing extra foot steps behind us, it sounded like dogs running. I turned around and nothing was there but when I turned back around I saw this thing hunched over and deformed looking at my from a distance, my heart stopped. I couldn't move. All I could do is talk in my head. This thing put fear in my heart so bad I thought I was gonna die that night. It kept looking at me and I herd a deep deep voice saying who are you. It was like it was right in my ear. I answered it. I told it that I didn't want to die, leave me alone and go back to hell, then I herd my brother come out the bathroom and he said that he saw me bent over in a way that he never seen before. He ran to me and shook me. My face looked different it didn't look like me at all. He said that I wasn't his sister anymore I was something else.

The Old Cemetery Ghost

It was a hot summer night and me and my friend Ivy were sleeping outside in one of the old tents my dad used to have. I thought it was about 10:00 pm when Ivy said she thought she heard someone out side the tent but I thought that it was just the wind. I grabbed my flashlight and shined it outside. "I don't see anything. Ivy you must have heard the wind or saw an old branch fall." The wind was pretty hard that night and I could have picked a better night to stay out in a tent but it was too late now.

Ivy tried to go back to sleep but she was sure there was someone out there, someone out there to get her. After about an hour I sat up and told her to get on her shoes I was going to show her there was no one out there. But I was wrong. As we headed for the old cemetery I saw some light in the back of a tree that surrounded the old cemetery. I know what it was but Ivy did not we just went inside and forgot about the whole thing and from this day on I still see a glow no matter were I am.

Be Careful What You Pray For

I've been having a lot of medical conditions lately. Mostly with a lump in my neck that is about the size of a golf ball, which has been causing a lot of pain. It has came time for the MRI testing, and I was extremely worried about cancer and I have been praying a lot during my daily walks.
This one particular night, I was out for my walk, while praying to God for my sins, and to take care of my family if I had cancer, and to take care of myself as well, and to send me in the right direction for all my sins.

It was at this point in time, where I was finishing my prayer, and just as I lowered my head, the most incredible life changing experience, had happened to me. Right out of nowhere, there was a man that appeared in the middle of the road. Just as if he had entered out of a time port hole that looked very wet and foggy. I swear on my life, this mans clothing was all grey, wet, and he walked straight at me across the lane in a direct fashion. His face was grey, hair long looking like Jesus, mustache, goatee, was also very similar also.

This man looked dead, looked much smaller then me, I'm 6'3 2.70 lbs, and I know that I said this, but he was going to walk right though my body.

Slave Ghost in ths Woods

This happened when I was about 10. First let me tell you that North Carolina is a place full of mysteries that are unexplainable. Our family decided to go see one of my aunts because no one had heard from her in about three months. We arrived at her house and this feeling traveled down my spine saying something did not want us here.

My cousins and I decided to camp out in the back yard that night. We all stayed close to the campfire when we heard what seem to be a woman crying in the distance. We decided to see who it was. No one said they were scared but we traveled the entire yard in fear that we would actually find out who this was. Then a woman all crazy looking came telling us to get out before mister comes home. Then she just up and disappeared right in front of us. Needless to say we all ran for the house.

When we told the adults my aunt said that's just Tracey she haunts the lake behind our house searching for her baby. As the story goes she was a slave that took the fancy of her master's son. When she was found by her master wife the wife decided to take the baby and Tracey went mad looking for her daughter. She is still searching these same woods looking for the baby stolen from her. Its said if you listen really hard you can still hear her sobbing uncontrollably for her baby until this day. I hope you enjoyed my story this is a true story maybe ill tell you how my aunt knew her name but that's another story.
