Discovering Myself Vampires and Werewolves

My story does not involve ghosts or demons, but a scared teenage girl discovering her potential through a best friend. You don't have to believe it, but its true. When I was 15, and just about to turn 16, I started blacking out, and when I would come to, there would be blood in my mouth. The first time, I thought I must have just hit my mouth on something, but it kept happening. So, I decided to confront my best friend, thinking she might know what was going on because her grandma is a witch. This is the part I doubt anyone will truly believe, I didn't believe it for the longest time myself. You see, my friend told me, in turn, that she is a werewolf and that I am a vampire. Our souls are connected and have been since the beginning of time.

Vampires, werewolves, we exist and let me warn you, I believe there might be a war coming. The Council is hunting me and my friend, because we hold the power within us to destroy the world. If you read this, please, be careful I beg you. I hope this helps people become aware. I don't care if they see this, I'm already in deep trouble as it is. So, be careful, because I don't think the humans will be able to stay out of it this time. I know I sound crazy, but give me the benefit of the doubt.

Old House in Washington

When I was fifteen, my mom and I moved to an old house in Washington. The house was really cheap, we thought the owner was being kind and didn't want us to spend our money. There were three rooms and one bathroom. I had my own room. My had her own room, too. Her room was downstairs and mine was upstairs. I was thirteen at that time, now I'm fourteen.

So when I first saw that house, I had a weird feeling. When I got ready for bed, I thought I saw someone at the window, but I wasn't sure. Then, at 11:00 I heard someone knocking on my door. I got out of bed and opened the door and there was nobody there. It happened several times that night. I wanted to know who was knocking, so I got out of my room and started searching upstairs. I kept on seeing shadows of something in the corner of my eye. So, I got back in bed, wondering what had caused the knocking. I heard moaning and screaming.

In my dreams, I saw a young man killing a young lady, she screamed. The man kept on saying, "I will kill you." And then, he stabbed a knife into her chest, blood squirting everywhere. Then, I saw him knocking on a door, and saying, "I killed her, Drake." Then, a man, about thirty, stepped out of that room and smiled. "Where's my money?" the young man asked,"I killed my wife, so where's my money?" Then, the guy named Drake took out a knife out of no where and stabbed it into the young man's stomach. He moaned and groaned, cursing under his breath. Then, I woke up.

My Mom had the exact same dream. So we moved out and went to California. That was scary!

This is true. Never buy a cheap house!

Old Man Who Lived in My House

OK I'm 11 but when this happened I was like 9 or 10. There was an old man who lived in our old house and I know this because my mom can see the paranormal. Well one night when I was asleep my mom was the only one awake and she heard someone walking. She walked to the top of the steps and said show yourself and she saw the old man, the old man touched and it showed the devils head in her hand where he touched her then he pushed her down the steps and the next morning she was awake at the bottom of the steps with a  piece of wood stuck in her head she finally got it out.

A few nights later my cousin spent the night and she was the same age as me and she was asleep but I could not sleep because I felt a cold wind on me (and it was in the summer time and we always turn our air off when we go to sleep) well I looked at the wall and I saw a figure of an old man. I thought it was a shadow of one of my toys so I turned on my light moved all my toys shut my curtain, turned off the light and then I still saw the shadow as if the sun was up and someone was standing there.

This happened to my cousin she spent the night at my house (I was not there) and that night she went to sleep and then the next morning I got there and we were talking and she said that it felt as if someone was sitting on her covers and she said she could not pull them up. That's my story, I'm not lying either

Our Old House

We moved to a old house because it was big and there was more room there for us. Me, Richard, Philip and then our mum and dad. We thought it would be great. There was a farm around us and there was lots to do, we were happy. Me and my brothers had to share a bedroom together because we were young at the time. Our first night every thing was ok until a few weeks later we were down in the livingroom when we could hear foot seeps up on the landing. We thought that was strange because we were the only ones in the house at the time but we thought nothing of it at the time.

When we went to bed me, Philip and Richard were talking about what we heard so Philip looked out the door and he said that he saw big red eyes looking in at him. We just look at each other and hugged each other.

We got up in the next day and we told our mum but she didn't believe us. When my brother Richard went to stay with his friend the next night it was me and Philip. We got all of our big teddies and when Philip was throwing them up on to the top bunk all the teddies were still and when we went to leave the room all the teddies were thrown on to the floor. It was like someone was up there throwing them down.

This is all true because I lived thought it all.

Bad Feelings

I'm not sure if I can call this a ghost story. I am 18 at the moment. I have an extremely good memory, I can remember things from my toddler years like it was yesterday. I think that I attract things, it seems that I am always getting bad feelings and my mind plays tricks on me. Even when I'm not alone I feel like I'm being followed, and not by a real person. I cant go outside of my house at night because when I do I get a panicked feeling like its coming closer, and fast. What ever it is cant be good because all the feelings that I get scare me to the point that I need to do something about it.

I know my house is not haunted, it was a new house when my parents got it. But laying in my bed at night if I get scared for no reason. Its not like I'm scared of someone trying to hurt me, I can protect myself. But I'm not sure how to protect myself from the unknown. I feel like something is with me. Multiple times I have been in my room and glance at the door and it looks like the door knob is being turned but it isn't. I cant sleep in a room with a doorway with no door or an open door because I will eventually see a hand or something coming out of the darkness, sounds stupid I know but its all in my mind and it freaks me out.

I have nightmares almost every night, and I could write books on how vivid and detailed they are. I often wake up feeling out of breath , crying, shaking. A few times I have experienced sleep paralysis.

I'm not sure why I'm writing this, its just that I want to know if this is all in my head or if there is something wrong.

Highway Ghost

My dad and I were driving to visit my grandmother who was sick. The place we were driving to was called Mysore (in India) which was around a 3 hour drive from the city where we lived. The highway connecting these two cities is claimed to be haunted and there are many claims of truck drivers seeing ghosts at night. It was around 8 pm and I was driving. We reached a small curve at a pretty deserted place and there were no vehicles around so the road was pitch dark ahead. That was when I saw someone crossing the road maybe 300 meters ahead. (This is pretty common in India as the highways are flanked by small villages and the villagers cross the roads pretty often). I didn't slow down as I thought that person would have crossed the road by then. I couldn't make out any features, it just looked like a silhouette of a man. I kept getting closer but the shadow just stood right in the middle of the road. I was a hundred meters away from it and though the head lights of my car were shining right at it, it looked like a dark shadow and the light didn't pass through it.

I swerved to the left very quickly to avoid it. I still didn't think it was a ghost. My dad saw it too but he got mad at me for taking such a sudden turn. We looked back immediately but there was nothing there. That was when I realized what it was. My dad knew what we saw but he didn't say anything. He refuses to believe in ghosts.

I had heard many stories of people seeing such shadows crossing roads on this stretch of highway and having met with accidents trying to avoid them thinking these were people.

The Phone

One day I was visiting at my best friends house. My friend, Emily, her mother and I had just finished watching a scary movie and were discussing stories about ghosts and paranormal experiences. Before Emily and her mother had lived in the house we were currently in, she had lived in a house where many others had lived before. Emily and I asked her mother if she could tell us a couple true ghost stories that may have happened to her. Her mother agreed and told us about one that took place in her old house. She said that she was home alone, all by herself, nobody else was there with her. She was speaking on the phone to someone, and decided to call them right back.

She went and did something, (got a snack, got water, got a checkbook etc) and left the phone on the couch. When she returned she was going to quickly call back the person she had been talking to. She checked the couch where she had left the phone, and it wasn't there. She was thinking she might of left it on the counter or something, but she couldn't find it anywhere in the living room or in the kitchen. She checked in every room, but she couldn't find it anywhere. Finally, she decided to just page the phone and she could find it.

She paged it, and she finally heard a faint, faint beeping from far away. She said, "I finally came to the pantry door that hadn't been opened for a while. I opened the door, the beeping became louder. Finally, I found it on the very top shelf behind some old food boxes and cans."

Premonitions And Knowledge

OK, this is not really a story or really anything along those lines, more of a question. I am known to be a little different; I guess that is why I am here in the first place. In dreams, or happenings close to them, I have been told that I can do some strange things, nothing along the lines of ghosts and dead to un-dead, it’s hard for me to explain. When I go to school each fall people, well they literally sense that I am not normal, some times they are nice enough to tell me that they are uncomfortable around me and don’t like me for a reason they cant understand, like if I see something slimy green and I don’t know if it is just allergy or something dangerous, that kind of uncomfortable.

Sometimes I tend to ‘just know’ anything. An example is that I was reading some of my old writings and in a very brief second I saw a good friend of mine's death. When I was younger I could just look and hear a voice of some one I care about, my Grandma for example and I just knew she would leave her Earthly body this year. It never really frightened me; heck I thought it was normal. One time in grade school I told my friend that there was a fire, and where it was, I spent the rest of recess trying to explain to him that I was telling the truth only that afternoon on the bus was my story proven correct.

I know that this site is meant most likely not for this but I wish to ask, any ideas of what I, I guess the best way to put this is, might be? Also I do tend to see people who I don’t know if they are alive or not but I see them in a like shadow of most commonly black and white, I see orbs and fairies lights quite easily and I have had to answer no people (they are joking by the way) if I talk to animals because I do quite well with them, and nature as a whole. I wrote this because I have been told I look/act/am a lot of different things and I wish to see if I can narrow them down, some, the majority tends to be very unbelievable. And it is hard to believe them, although I am trying. I hope this all makes sense. Also one more thing, can Elves be around the size of a normal human? Thank you.

Finally I Meet Him

Ok, this happened when I was about 10 - 11 years old. My Granddad died before I was born, and I was really upset I never got to meet him especially as I found out he was the one who named me. We had so much in common.

One night, it was getting pretty late and I decided it was time to go to bed. Now I have a teddy him and my Nan brought for me in a raffle when they found out my mum was pregnant. The teddy has been in my room ever since I was born, and every night I just sit and stare at it. When I turned around, I saw a misty face floating at the foot of my bed. Surprisingly, I wasn't scared. The figure just smiled as if to say 'I'm okay' I knew from the second I saw the face and the smile, I recognized him instantly.

The second incident happened with my boyfriend, I was talking about my Granddad, and I suddenly lost it. I never knew where I was but my boyfriend said he saw my lips moving, then saw an image, I was able to describe the image perfectly, he also  said my eyes were rolled back!

If you chose not to believe this, fair enough, but I would never lie about my own Granddad!

The Ghost Cat

When I was about 10 years old my cousin and her mother moved in with my family. We were only 13 months apart in age so I was happy as heck to have someone to play with besides my older sister. My cousin and I slept together every night.We would take turns in turning out the light that was on the other side of the room. when it was my turn I would turn it off then run like the hounds of hell were after me then jump straight into the middle of the bed.

One night when it was my turn I did everything like I usually do and jumped into bed I turned back around and there in mid-air was the biggest cat I've ever seen. It was floating right there in the air. It was sitting on it's hind legs staring me down. I was scared half out of my wit. This was not the only thing that happen in this house my mother seen a ghost lady standing on the stairs. And she swore she heard what sounded like elephants in our basement. My cousin seen a devil-like creature in the window. The house is in Hart Co. Kentucky.

Ghostly Encounter With a Black Thing

A month ago I was asleep in my bed when I woke up thirsty. So I get up, and, of course, it's pitch black. So I leave my room and feel around for a blank spot where the bathroom door should be (hanging open, duh). When I find the doorframe, I also feel something blocking it, so I open my eyes (which were closed before). And I see a tall, willowy black figure, which is so black that it made everything to my eyes seem white.

I couldn't see it's face; in fact, it didn't appear to have any features at all. But it was about three inches taller than both me and my mom, and six inches taller than my sister. So instead of screaming, I just ran back to my room and hid under the covers with my flashlight for the rest of the night. Now and then I would hear heavy male footsteps outside my door and in other parts of the house, and sometimes I could hear my name being called in a whispery voice.

After that night, I didn't want to stay there another night in a row, so I stayed at my friend's house. That night the same thing happened again, and when I woke up later in the night, some shadowy silhouette was leaning over me, and I started screaming. The lights came on, and my friend was standing in the doorway and asking me what was wrong.

I still don't know what it is, but for now I've been staying away from my mom's house, and have been vacationing in New York to visit a family friend. The figure hasn't shown up yet.

The White Ghost Lady

This is my ghost story. I used to live in an old house built in the 1800's back in the civil war! I thought the house was a beautiful house, that me and my family would feel cozy in. I was wrong! Since I was only eight at the time, I loved hearing ghost stories. There was one about my house. I thought it was a bunch of baloney just to scare me. It wasn't! It was true! The story went like this...

Back in the civil war, there was a lady, named Evelen Taylor. She lived in my house because there was a very slim chance of the enemies coming this far out in the country. The house was in the middle of a plantation. So Evelen thought no one would bother her. She was wrong!The enemies raided Evelens house one night. Evelen heard all the commotion and went downstairs. Then one man grabbed her and pulled a knife to her throat and cut her head off. Rumors say she wants revenge. She walks every night the halls of my house looking for enemies. I refused to believe the stories... until one night. I got up to get a glass of water, while I was walking back towards  my room, I saw a white, pale, figure walking up and down that hall. I ran past it screaming. I awoke my parents, who thought a burglar was in the house. I was crying and screaming and fighting. I told them the whole story. I told them I wanted to move. I wanted to move far away from that house. They were worried about me so we packed up our stuff and left. I went back to that house after I turned 20, I could swear I saw a face of a white ghost lady staring out the window.

Abandoned Construction Yard sighting

It was Friday night 7 June 1997 me, my brother and our friend had gotten a job working security in a hotel. Me and Henry (the friend) waited in the security room watching the security cameras, while Ciaran (my brother) went out to check around the place. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until Ciaran came running through the door. He told us of how he had seen multiple dark figures moving strangely threw the construction site nearby. We told him that he was being irrational. But me and Henry went to check it out. As we approached the fence (which closed off the construction yard from the hotel) it suddenly got a lot colder, we hopped the fence into the yard.

As we walked I saw an old ford fiesta. I needed a radio for my fiesta, so I checked to see if the car was open. Luckily it was. I sat into it along with Henry and checked for a key or anything, there was none. I tried to take the radio out, but as I did I got a slight electric shock. The radio came on immediately afterwards (which was impossible as the car was not on). We heard strange voice like noises for about 10 seconds until it turned off again. We got out fairly quickly and walked towards the direction we thought led back to the hotel. To our surprise it wasn't. I looked around and saw nothing that looked familiar. We walked for what seemed like an hour, until we saw the strange dark figures my brother had been talking about. They were a distance away. We watched them until they disappeared minutes later.

We eventually got back to the hotel and told my brother what had happened. In the morning we all went out to the construction yard. To our disbelief the ford wasn't there and everything looked different. We asked our boss about the site and he said a few months back there had been a serious accident at the site and a lot of people had died. We continued to work there for the next four years. Every once in awhile we heard strange noises coming from the site but decided not to go back.

Sarah of Savanna and Girl Scouts

About 2 years ago the girl scouts and I took a trip to Savanna Georgia. The reason was that the founder (Juliet Gordin Lowe) lived down there. Savanna, being the most haunted city in America, was only adding to my interests in the paranormal and history. We took a ghost tour the night before we toured the house(which was closed for the night) and we sat on the steps on the outside of the house. Our tour guide told us the most surprising fact about the house that I never thought I would hear, it was haunted. The house was in danger of collapsing because of all the weight of the added third floor. Many believe the ghost of Sarah (Juliet's grandmother) is the guardian ghost of the house. The house is a treasure to girl scouts everywhere so we figure she wants to preserve it.

As the tour guide says Sarah's name the street light flickers. We all look at the light and as quickly as it happened the light stopped. We were all staring at the house in disbelief and the tour guide looks at us and says "Say hi to Sarah!"

After the story of Sarah we walked back to our car and looked at the house one more time. One of the girls in my troop waved and said "By Sarah!" in a joking way. I looked at one of the windows and a big blue orb-like thing glows in front of the window and then the whole room was glowing for no reason at all. We were all now stunned from this experience that we stared at the house for a good five minutes.

The next day we toured the inside of the house. It was beautiful with all the history. As we were touring the inside we went into one of the rooms and the guide told us it was Sarah's room. After inspecting the room we all agreed that Sarah's room was the room that lit up the night before. We can all agree that what happened that night cannot be explained. I look forward to my next trip to Savanna which was one of the best trips of my life.

A Visit to Haunted Port Arthur

My wife and I were in Port Arthur around 2003. We were standing outside the Caretakers Cottage on the nightly ghost tour when I observed the room to the right of the front door illuminate as though someone had taken a photo inside. Upon entering the house I noted there was no other people in the house already, (I assumed there was a group in front of us) and going into the room to the right as you enter the front a light went off like a FLASH once again. We were the first too enter the room and it flashed inside as we crossed inside the doorframe.

The girl running the tour did her presentation and then we went to move on, I was puzzled so I waited until everyone had moved out and asked her what was with the strobe in the room, she was puzzled. I explained to her about the flash as I entered the room, my wife came back inside to find me as she had left the room and I asked her if she saw any strange light in the room, she said she saw a strobe light go off even though she did not here me talking about it.

The tour guide asked a few people if they saw any lights and about 1/2 the group saw lights either from the front or from inside and some saw both.

I am far from a religious person, and pretty skeptical about most things, but I saw this with my own eyes. The tour guide had us fill in a form as we left that asked specific questions regarding the experience.

Spirit Near the Elevator

This incident happened about 15 years ago, when I was staying in a private apartment block located above a shopping mall. It was about noon when I decided to leave home to buy lunch for my family. As I was staying on the 14th floor and my unit was located at the corner of the block, I had to walk along a long quiet common corridor towards the elevator.

When I approached the elevator, I began to feel an unexplained uneasiness, At that time, I was alone but for some strange reasons I did not feel 'alone'. My skin goose pimples started to form which usually occurs when I am frightened. Looking at the elevator display, I noticed that the elevator had been moving up and only stopped at the 13th floor and down again. It simply does not move up to my 14th floor though I had been pressing the elevator button. This happened a couple of times.

This elevator behaviour had never happened in my 5 years of stay in this apartment block. It began to dawn upon me that 'something' is preventing the elevator from coming up to my floor as the strange sense of my goose pimples gave me a strong feeling me that I was 'not alone' near the elevator. I then decided to walk one floor down to the 13th floor to take the elevator, since it 'refused' to move up to the 14th. With this move, I managed to take the elevator down to the first level where I proceeded to buy my family's lunch. When I returned, I took the elevator again and this time, it took me up to the 14th floor. When I stepped out of the elevator, that previous strange feeling was gone. I felt the spirit must have gone away.

Little Boys Spirit

Hello my name is Miriam live in Houston, Texas have been living with my parents my for the past 20 years. I gotta say that almost eight years ago I saw a little boy in the living room sitting on the sofa, then I turned around. I couldn't believe my eyes, so when I looked back that little boy, he looked like he was three or four years, jumped from the sofa and took off running and disappeared by the door. Back then a lot of weird things would happen in the house. The TV in the living room would always turn on in the middle of the night, with the volume all the way up, and so did the radio but not as often as the TV, so we would disconnect them the night before. You could hear someone running from the living room to the kitchen, it was on for like weeks straight, then we blessed the house and it stopped.

Now again, eight years later the noises are starting again, but the TV hassn't been turning by itself like it used to. My brother started taking pictures last night all over the house with the lights off. Out of 40 pictures, six came out with like white lines, smoke in the air, and two pictures with orbs floating in the air. The main one had a little boy in the living room near the sofa. You can see him really clearly, it looks like he is playing with something, and looking right at the camera. Its freaking crazy!

So now my questing is could that be the little boy I saw eight years ago? How could I communicate with him? I want to know if I can help him  to rest his soul? Is he there for a reason? I have so many questions I need some help. I would appreciate you comments and help.

My Imaginary Friend Gracie

When I was in first grade I had an "imaginary" friend who I called Gracie. My mom used to worry about me thinking I was having trouble making friends at school then one day I asked her if Gracie could come to dinner and my mother was more than happy to let one of my friends come to dinner. When there was an empty chair next to me at the dinner table and I was talking to it my mom was of course playing along but then tried to explain to me that Gracie was not there. I got upset and told my mom she was lying to me and she sent to my room. The next day my mother asked me if I would like Gracie to come to dinner again and I was happy of course.

I haven't talked to Gracie since I was ten but it wasn't until now that my mom explained to me that, that night before she went to bed she heard a little girl crying. Thinking it was me she entered my room and saw a girl on the floor and knew it wasn't me because this girl had blonde hair and my hair is brown. The girls back was to my mother and the girl turned to my mother and said, "why don't you like me?" My mom said she just knew it was Gracie and so she believed in her as much as I did to this day. I still believe Gracie will be here for me when I need a friend which is perfectly fine with me.

Raven on Vampires

On TrueGhostTales.com we have been having a lot of discussions regarding the reality of Vampires. Here is what Raven has to say about it:

Everyone wanted my side of the whole conversation... so here we go. I'm only 15 years young, but my kind grows extremely slow. As far as beauty, (and I'm not trying to brag please don't take it that way) I always catch a glaze with any human, women, men and even children. I am not pale. I am a light brownish color (just trying to prove there are more than white vampires). My canines are larger than normal (of course) and I usually do not smile for I will show my teeth.

I always wear sunglasses outside unless its a rainy day and the sun is hidden. My eyes change colors, ever noticed how dark dark chocolate is? Well that's the color of them right now, and when I'm hungry they get as light as milk chocolate. Oh I forgot to mention I have a light blue ring around my eyes, cool huh, and my pupils are always enlarged. Hmm what is left? Oh yes, I have a lot of energy except for when I wake.

That's all I have.

Indian Spirits and Phantom Sightings

I grew up in a haunted house, I really think that it had something to do with the land that it was built on. The house was surrounded by fields and beyond that behind the house was the woods. It's an area rich in Indian lore, there are the Oneidas, the Mohawks, the Saqouit, Canandeguas, etc.

In the woods behind the house there was this strange unexplainable grass road, that grew up from no where. The floor in the forest was normally what you would expect it to be, dead, dirt, branches and dried leaves. Except for this mysterious grass road that never grew higher than 3 inches, it exited the other side of the woods.

I took our 4 wheeler into the woods on a tour, as I often did when I was bored. I stopped on the grass road, listening to the woods............ and the wind picked up rustling the treetops. In the wind someone sighed my first name. I heard it very clearly, needless to say I left that woods as fast as I could. I don't know if it was an Indian Spirit, cause there have been phantom Indian sightings in that neighboorhood.

Las Vegas Ghost

I just wanted to share an incident that happened to me last year in Las Vegas. I had just been reunited with my best friend after about 17 years and we decided to meet up in Vegas for our reunion. We stayed at the Luxor Hotel because we were going to see Criss Angel's new show Believe. We stayed in the pyramid on the 24th floor.

It was on the second day that something weird happened. Even though we had stayed up really late the night before, we got up early, went to eat breakfast, and headed out to explore the strip. We came back around 4 pm and decided to take a nap before going back out. My friend had the bed closest to the bathroom and mine was in the back of the room near the windows. We dozed off for a while and I was awakened by the sound of someone in the bathroom. It sounded like someone kept dropping a coin into the sink over and over. At first I thought maybe a housekeeper had come in, but then wondered how I hadn't heard her come in (since I am a light sleeper)and why the bathroom light wasn't on if she was in there? So naturally I went to investigate. As I got closer, it stopped. Odd. I turned on the light and everything was in it's place, so I went back to the bed and it immediately started again. To prove to myself that I was really hearing this, I called out to my friend: "hey, do you hear that? It's coming from the bathroom." She said yeah I heard it earlier but didn't wanna say anything. We both got back up and just walked in front of the bathroom to see if we could see anything, but didn't turn the light on. No sound, nothing. So my friend turns on the light and says out loud," You can do whatever you want just don't do it while we're here and stay in the bathroom!" Then she turned off the light, closed the door and we left the room.

Nothing else happened for the duration of the trip which lasted a week. I though about asking the hotel staff but thought they might think I'm crazy. I did do some research though and found out that a couple of workers died while building the hotel but they are said to haunt the 10th floor. Has anyone else had an experience there? I would love to hear your story.

Haunting in Apartment E and D

At the time I was only about 8 now I'm 13. We were in the apartment next door with a Ouija board to communicate with a ghost. Our ghost's name was Greg. We were using it and all of  a sudden my baby brother, who was 1 or 2 at the time, looked up at us with evil eyes and an evil laugh we were so scared that we ran out. Then we heard Sean crying, it most of been Greg he's a demon or not.

Six months later my sister and I were baby sitting for the lady who moved next door in apartment E my sister went over to our apartment for snacks. I locked the door behind her turned the TV on and looked over - the door was open. "Brandy is that you?" No answer. I went to the door, no one there and the door unlocked hmmm? I just locked it. I told Brandy about it, she said maybe it was just the wind? I could tell she was scared too. Then I heard something, "Brandy be quiet for a minute." I heard lip smacking very loudly so we followed it. It was coming from the closet. We went into the kids room to see if they were ok. I thought Brandy was with me because someone tapped my shoulder. I looked behind me - no Brandy - I ran right out of there. We told the lady about the things that happened.

About two months went by and we were in my apartment D. My mom was sleeping but me and Brandy weren't, we heard the kitchen chairs being push in and out and laughing. We went in the kitchen, no one at all. Thankfully we moved out but we weren't lucky enough. Brandy was at this very computer and saw the light turn on by the sink, she thought she turned it off. She went and turned it off, came back and it was on again! She was really freaked out but even freakier is her door opens up by its self when its closed and its a hatch door. It opens the same amount each time it's like they're trying to check on us. My moms friend is like a ghost whisperer. She told us there is a ghost, an old lady from the 1800s. Now I can sleep at night.

Shadow Ghost in the Black Out

Hi, my name is Elizabeth I am 14 and this is my ghost story. Well it was on a stormy day and we had a black out, it was me, my sister Ashley (the oldest), my sister Mackenzie (3rd youngest), and my other little sis. During the black out everyone gathered downstairs in the dining room to play cards or something and my mom sent me to look for some candles and flashlights to use until the power came back on. So I went upstairs, into the closet, grabbed the stuff and came back down.

We played cards for a while until about 9:00 or 9:30, and we started setting up beds in the dining room so everyone was together. Before everyone went to bed we got a call saying that the power wasn't going to turn on until 10:00 pm. So then everyone got into bed and fell asleep. But for some reason I couldn't sleep. I felt uncomfortable, like someone was watching me. So I looked around and in the living room I had seen some kind of figure. It was in a human shaped form and it was pitch black everywhere on its body, almost like a shadow. It was slowly rising from behind the couch. I know exactly what I had seen, after a bit of studying of course.

I found out the ghost I had seen was something called a shadow ghost, but it wasn't my only encounter we had more than one in this house any way. In others I wouldd say I had more encounters in some of my older houses I've lived in. So I'm kind of used to seeing these kind of things.

Guy in a Dark Robe

I am 16 and I have been seeing ghosts for as long I can remember. When I was bout 13 or 14 I was walking home from one of my friends house's, I did not live far away. It was about 8:30 or 9:00 when I got home. I always felt like someone was following me and when I looked behind me there was a guy with a black robe and I couldn't see his face. I would walk faster but he just kept on coming after me. One day I slept over at the same house that I would walk home from and that night I wish I could forget because that night was when I saw his face. I can not describe it, it was not human at all. It came in my friends room and came for me, but then he just went away. I was so scared but I still stayed the night and I still see him following me at night when I would go home but I never saw his face again. Oh I forgot that his voice was not human at all.

Another night I was staying at another friends house. His mom and father were not home and we were hearing footsteps upstairs and we ran outside. It was freezing out and we looked up at the windows upstairs and we saw something move up there. We stayed out there for about 10 minutes before going back in. Well we heard foot steps again so we ran outside again. It was like 2:30 am and we had no cell so we could not call his mom, she was the only one who had one. After like 30 minutes this time we went in because we were getting cold and when we went in this time we both heard someone who I think is the guy in the black robe, that's what I call him, but well I could not under stand him. After that I did not see him that much but I can feel him and he is pure evil ,there is more but have to wait and this is true.

Shadows and the Voice

I've lived in my house for about 9 months now, and everything seemed normal until about two weeks ago when I started hearing voices and seeing dark figures dart past me. This isn't the first time I've had an experience with the paranormal. It started after one day when I was going to meet my friend by her locker [in the basement of my school] when there was this little silhouette of a what looked like a kitten. I wasn't alone in the hallway, but I was the only one to see the figure. So, like in every scary movie that involves ghost, I walked towards it, curious. When I finally reached where it was, it was gone, I kept my eyes only on that small figure, but it slowly moved towards the wall.

That day when I got home, I was alone, and I was about to turn on the TV when I heard 'Don't'. At first I just thought it was my imagination, but then I went for the remote again and I heard the voice again, only a little louder. I left the TV alone and decided to go for a walk. And now, I'll hear the voice, only it'll be muffled sometimes and recently I've seen dark figures, and shadows dart across the wall ever now and then.

My mom thinks that I should return to a therapist and that I should be put back on my meds [which I've been off of for almost a year [in June it'll be year]. I'm not going to deny that it could be my mind, but it would see these kind of things like a year ago.

Caring Personal Family Ghostly Nurse

Our family has lived in this home for generations. My family of 5 children my husband and myself are now living here. For years we have heard the stories of two separate events. One is the little boy who hides in our upstairs closet. He likes to come out every once in a while and play with objects outside our bedrooms at night. Another is of Nurse that is what we have called her for years. She comes out mostly when we are sick. It is rather spooky but at the same time no one has ever complained of any harm being done by her. In a very professional way, (this I do know by personal experience). She will suddenly appear by our beds. She leans over and you can almost feel her hand touching our foreheads. Sometimes she smiles. Sometimes she shakes her head.

When I was a little girl I was very sick and she cam into my room and sat by me on the bed. I felt comforted by her. She did not stay long but my fever broke not to long after. Until this day I thank Nurse for her comfort and help. My children have also had experiences with nurse and tell me that she checks in on them during the night. They say that it the have had a nightmare. They also are starting to see her at times when they are feeling unwell. My daughter said she new she was going to start feeling better soon because nurse smiled at her. We all love nurse. We feel she is here to look over our family and we will always feel safe with both the mischief maker little boy and our very own Nurse. Who both is considered part of our family.

Shadows and Objects Moving

Some strange things have been happening in my house over the last few years mainly targeted at my 13 year old daughter.The first thing I remember was when she said she left something on her bed and it was gone and I jokingly said oh someone must have come in and taken it. I shouted out "put it back now" as I searched the floor and next a small doll fell of her shelf and hit my head. We were both shocked but I laughed and shouted it again and then there was a loud bang in the other bedroom. Anyway later  the missing item appeared at the side of the bed where we had previously looked.

Another day when I walked into her room her glasses shot off the shelf passed me and onto the floor for no apparent reason. On Halloween last we were all going to bed after watching Most Haunted Live. It was 2:40 and my daughter was in her room when she shouted, "oh my god". When I shouted "what" she said "oh nothing". The same thing happened a minute later and then after about another minute she came running in terrified and said a hair band on her bed moved. She thought she imagined it the first time on account of watching that programme and tried not to look but when it happened twice more she knew it was real. I made excuses to her as to what could have made it happen as I do every time something strange happens and went into her room and looked at the bed, and sure enough after a few seconds I clearly saw it move.

A few weeks ago she went into the kitchen in the dark and saw a shooting blue light go from the left corner of the floor to the right ceiling. She also has told me recently that she sees black shadows regularly in the house. They are not large but up to 1 or 2 feet. I would see a look come on her face and ask what's wrong and she would say "nothing," but eventually she decided to tell me. She isn't afraid so I don't think it's anything bad. What could this all be? (These are only a few of the things that happened).

My Encounter With an Old Friend

One night, I was in bed sleeping when I was awoke by a strange noise. As I tossed and turned, trying to go back to sleep, I could feel someone tapping my shoulder. I tried to ignore it. I was full of fear, but the tapping was becoming more frequent and not so much as tapping, but now pushing. I looked to see what was trying to get my attention. There was nothing, I was scared.

I turned on the light. When I turned round, I caught something out of the corner of my eye. As I looked back to see if I had actually saw something. I had. In the corner of my room, sitting on the computer seat, underneath my television was a smoky, shadow like thing. It couldn't be my shadow though, I was sitting in my bed (my bed is one of those beds you have a couch underneath which turns into another bed). As the smoky, shadow like thing became clearer and clearer I could make out my best friend. It couldn't be her though. She had died two months ago. As you can guess I was freaked out. She got up and walked over to the door, opened the door and walked out. I got out of the bed and climbed down the ladders as fast as possible. I looked out into the hallway. No one was there.

Can I just say my story probably isn't very believable because I'm 12 but trust me it is true. Also if your wondering what my friend died of, she was ran over by a car.

All the Death in My House

Well to start off, I live in a House that was built by my grandfather, 50 years ago. Everyone in my family has lived in this house. My Aunt had cancer and died in the room I now sleep in five years ago. My Grandfather died last year upstairs. My aunts dog also died in the house.

When I moved in I got a hound dog, for my birthday, one of the other puppies also died in the house. My Hound dog is a little over a year old. She is pretty normal. One night she stopped outside my room and refused to come in, she sat in the hallway and barked, growled and acted like someone was in the chair in my room. She has never acted like this before. This continued for at least a half an hour. She was acting really weird. Then all of the sudden she was fine, she came into my room and sniffed the chair up and sat down, howled a few times and that was it.

One week ago I was getting ready to watch a movie and she was in the kitchen. She refused to come into the living room! She stared at the TV, she started to do the same thing, bark, growl and acted like she was going to attack something that was not there. So I walked over to the TV and called her name, even offered her a treat she would not budge! She just kept smelling the air, and barking?

It hasn't happened since, but it has always made me wonder. I have felt a presence myself but have never seen anything. I wouldn't second guess that there is someone in this house. Thank you for letting me share my story.

The Thing in My Room

Hello there my name is Sarah and I'm ten years old. This isn't a very exciting story but It's true.

I was in my bed at around 7:30 because I can get read for school quickly and only need an hour to get ready. I'm not really a morning person. I was lying in bed thinking about stuff when I heard footsteps running up the hallway. I thought It would probably be my older brother running in to say BOO! or something like that to annoy me. I pretended to be asleep and heard them run into my room and right next to my bed and suddenly I heard a sound like a balloon popping right in front of my face. I actually felt the wind on my cheeks. I sat up in bed without meaning to and realized I was shaking really hare but I wasn't scared or cold. I'm not sure why I wasn't scared. I just lied back down in bed.

Later in the day I realized some of this stuff. I had been sleeping with the door shut and I hadn't heard it open even though it makes really loud noises when it opens. My brother was in bed sound asleep.

I really hope you'll believe this because it is true. I can tell when I'm dreaming so don't think it was my imagination.

Native American Woman and Child

A few hundred years ago, a Native American woman and her child, Cotta, were running away from a bad person. I can't exactly remember what his name was. Well, the woman was running and she was surrounded by bad people. She threw her baby in the bushes and then she got shot. That ground became my street. Now on a full moon you can hear her yelling for her child.

I was in my mom's car once and saw a faint blurry figure. As we got closer she was more faint and more blurry. By the time we got to my driveway she was gone. I had trouble sleeping that night. I heard a woman yelling "Cotta, Cotta! Where are you!" To this day, I have trouble sleeping on full moons.

Once I went outside to get my mom something, it was about 9:00 pm in October, and she came up to me and asked me if I've seen Cotta. I said no. I found out her name is Pony. If you're really lucky, before you see her you can see Cotta. Really creepy. Once I said yes and she said where? Then she disappeared.

Haunted Theater

My High School had a theater that we had bought from a company and used for various recitals and performances. If you ask around enough, people will tell you about their encounters.

The girl's bathroom is haunted, no questions asked. I had this encounter in my Freshman year. I was in that bathroom because we were trying on our dresses in the green room, and I was the only one in there. The doors are very old and heavy, so you can hear when they are opened or closed. As I said before, I was alone in there, and as I was leaving the stall, the room got freezing cold, and someone walked past me. Two large male dress shoes passed in front of my stall silently, but as they were directly in front of me, they turned in my direction and disappeared into thin air.

My sister Tyfan was in there with one of her friends later, and the lights (which can only be turned off from inside a locked box at the far end of the bathroom) went completely out, and the door locked them in.

Inside my sophomore yearbook, there is a picture of a man walking across the stage in front of the Women's Choir at our annual Veteran's Show. I was there, and no one was onstage but the choir, the director, and a few techies backstage. No one could explain the man in the photograph.

Two of my friends were in the bathroom, when the room filled up with a completely acrid stench. They looked around to see what the cause was, and they saw a rotting corpse hanging from the lights, that disappeared seconds after they looked up.

We believe that all of the cases involve the same man, who possibly died on the grounds the theater was built on, but we cannot be certain who he is, because there are no records surviving from that area past 1940.

I swear that all of these are true!

The Hooded Figure in The Woods

My Only True Paranormal Experience

The tale I am about to tell is honest to god, the one thing I would never kid around about or lie to anyone about. It gives me chills just telling people about it as if I am not supposed to tell people about it but I will anyway. Here goes.

Me and my older sister used to go for long walks in the forest behind our old house (Old funeral home I just recently found out) but anyway we were walking and my sister came to a complete stop and pointed up ahead, I saw then what will haunt me for the rest of my days. Wow guys I am getting chills right now just typing this up but what we both saw was a figure dressed in what appeared to be rags and it had a hood and no face as it hovered above the ground with its hands clasped together. It was the most horrifying site I have seen in my life. We couldn't move at first, it could have been the fear we were in and the complete shock but when we were mobile again you can bet your bottom dollar me and my sister high tailed it out of there pronto!

The next time we summoned up the courage to take another walk there I brought my little cross with me to protect me as I believe in that kind of protection as I believe I have a guardian angel which I may discuss in another story. But Anyway I am wondering Can anyone identify what I saw by the description? I mean it was seen by both of us and I was wondering if anyone else has seen something similar?

Ouija Board and Deceased Grandmother

So it's August 11, 2009 at 1:24 AM. After hearing of a Ouija board story earlier today, my friend Summer and I decided to bring out my board and "connect to the spirits." We began playing by knocking on the board asking if any spirits were present. Shortly after, it replied with a yes.

Before we began playing, we researched a proper opening and closing of the talking board. It mentioned that the board would have to warm up. And it did. We started by asking simple yes or no questions to 'warm up.' We then asked how many spirits were present. Our questions were loud and clear, making sure they could understand us. The response was 6 spirits, one of which was an evil spirit. We first spoke with Xavier. To me, he was a very calm and comforting spirit. Next was C.W. After speaking with him, we continued back with Xavier.The other spirits names were Ted, Gef, Ed, and Pice.

As we progressed, we agreed that the board was clearly warmed up considering the pointer was moving rather quickly. Summer asked if there were any messages for her. YES. The message started with SAD.We asked if it involved people. NO. pets? NO. We then asked if it was a serious matter? NO. So we moved on. I asked a similar question. Is there any messages for me? Yes. The next question is a question we failed to mention for Summer's turn. Who is it from? It responded with Judy. Judy happened to be my Grandmother who passed away in November. My eyes started to water. We continued asking what the message was. A bunch of random letters came up. I asked, "what does that mean?" The reply was LOVE YOU.

After this, we brought the pointer to GOOD BYE and ended the game. It was very upsetting and scary. However, I was glad it happened and hoped it was really her.

My Imaginary Friend Who Hurt Me

When I was about two to nine I had a friend. His name was Ronny. At first he was nice for about a year or so. But after that he started to hurt me. I woke up screaming and crying. I could feel hands around my neck and fire everywhere!

Ronny never left my side. He went to school with me. He ate with me. He went to the store with me. He would tell me what to do and if I didn't do it he would hurt me. Every time I tried to tell myself that Ronny was gone he would get mad at me and push me.

After I turned 10 I pushed Ronny away from me with the help of my best friend. But every now and then he comes back. He once set my kitchen on fire and he likes to choke me and physically and mentally hurt me.

He's no friend, he's my enemy.

Long Haired Black Cloaked Visitor

Hello there, my name is Lili and I'm 17. I want to share the ghost encounter that happened to me just a year ago. What I'm going to tell you, you might not believe me but honestly this truly happened to me.

One night I was sleeping in my room by myself with the door wide open and my back facing the door. It was like the middle of the night and I heard someone coming up the stairs and humming at the same time. I thought it was my dad coming to check on us but it wasn't him. I heard the person coming closer and I thought they were gonna go into my brothers room but instead they came into my room. As the person came into my room humming I didn't pay much attention to them cause I thought it was my dad checking on me but all of the sudden I felt the person pressing down on my face and trying to choke me. As I tried so hard to turn my head to see who it was, I took one look at them and it was this black figure in a coat looking down at me with long hair. Then all of the sudden the person disappeared.

Ever since that night, I have never slept by myself again, you can even ask my love ones. This is my true story and this is coming from the bottom of my heart. I'm honestly telling the truth.

I've also had an encounter with a lady in my kitchen in a long white dress and long white hair with a towel in one hand and a cup in the other. She said, "hello darling," to me. But she was like glowing in the dark.

Black Shadows Still Around My House

Awhile back I submitted a story that me and my daughter saw a black shadow in and around my house, well guess what? It is still hanging around my house. I was telling that story to my other daughter a couple of days ago and  right after I told her, this shadow passes across my back door. I got up quickly and went to go and check out side and nothing. My husband too, we were sitting out late and talking in the back yard and I told him I was going in side for a minute and when I went back out side he said he had seen something over by this tree that is across the street, and he had thought it was me. He said he was going to go and check, (I guess he thought I was trying to scare him) and he said he saw me come out and he told me what he had seen. This shadow would be behind a tree and from the corner of his eye he would see it pop his head out  and wave at him, like if it was trying to get his attention. Last night we had got into an argument and he said he couldn't sleep, after I fell asleep he said that he kept hearing noises in the living room and all of the sudden he looked under the door way and he saw shadow feet under the door.

I don't know what is going on. I wish it would just leave us alone. My mom used to play with the Ouija board and tarot cards and other things and every since she gave me some stuff I have been seeing this black thing linger around my house. Should I get rid of the stuff she gave me? Or is it too late. This story is not to scary , but it is true. Maybe I should have my house blessed. I just hope things don't get worse. I don't know what I will do.  Well if anyone has any suggestions comment below. Thanks.

Unexplained Events at Work

I'd like to hear more stories of paranormal on the job. Believe it or not, I believe spirits can be anywhere at any time of day, not just old houses and graveyards.

Several years ago I was working a 12 hours shift for a large well-known business. Typically it was just me and another guy running the machine equipment, but they put another guy there to help us both. The problem was the new guy was mentally slow and never should have been placed with us. No sooner had he started working then he got his hand caught in some rollers. This should have cost him some fingers and broken bones, but the E-stop was hit by my coworker when I yelled. It turned out he had just bruises (a miracle) and was removed from working there. Nothing unusual to this point, but several machines were still running.

But seconds after that, the power buzzed off on a completely unrelated machine that is not connected (in any way) to the one with the E-Stop. This is unusual because power fading to a single machine of that type (without turning off the entire room) is not likely and no power outages happened that day. In other words, I think something briefly turned it off.

I went away convinced something else was watching over this guy so that his hand was not hurt.

Sea Monster out on the Ocean Deep

My Dad is a fisherman in Alaska; his career is similar to the ''Deadliest Catch'' guys job's, hence he sometimes hooks enormous halibut and catches sharks, and along with that also faces some colossal waves and storms once in a while. (By the way, my deceased Grandpa was unfortunately caught in the Columbus Day Storm of 1963, and survived! Just a fun fact for you; I don't mean to boast!) I apologize, let me return to my point.

Anyway, my dad, a few years ago, was controlling the huge spotlight was that used at night on the boat, talking quietly with a crew member. As he was running the massive stream of light across the rippling waves, he spotted a large head poking out of the water. Although he quickly tried to catch the ''thing'' once again with the spotlight, he just could not find it. He and his friend both agreed to what they saw: but the famous question is, what exactly was it? To this day, even though my dad only caught sight of the ''creature'' for a moment, he still has few doubts that it was a monster - a sea monster. And please take note that, like I said, this is in Alaska, not Scotland, so this most likely was not any Nessie. And my dad knew what he saw; also he had had no drinks that evening.

If you have thoughts, questions, or comments, feel free to write. But for now, keep an eye out for other spooky tales. I've got more coming.

Ghost in My High School

This all happened about four years ago. In high school I was a member of the Tech Crew for the school plays. One night we were staying late, it was around seven or eight, which wasn’t uncommon since we were close to the show dates. The TD needed to speak with our director but couldn’t find her, so I volunteered to check her classroom.

I’m walking through the school, which was a little creepy since most of the lights in the hallways were off and the classrooms were all dark. I’m walking when out of the corner of my eye I see something through the window on the door to one of the classrooms. I stop and look and there’s this girl, silvery white and transparent, sitting in one of the desks, head down, looking like she was taking notes in class. For a second or two I stood there when she looked up, right at me, and disappeared. Needless to say I ran back to the auditorium as fast as I could.

I’m a strong believer in the paranormal and I’ve read that sometimes people feel threatened or feel a sense of evil when they encounter a ghost but I felt nothing like that. I’ve had classes in that room since then but I never saw the girl again.

Also, I don’t know if this matters, but I went to a Catholic high school. So you can interpret that however you wish.

A Ghostly Goodbye

I remember when I was just a little girl, I woke up in the middle of the night and wanted a glass of water. I headed out into the living room to go into the kitchen, and I saw my Grampie (my great grandfather on my father's side) sitting in the chair. I was puzzled because he lived in California, and my family lived in Idaho. So I asked, "Grampie, what are you doing here?"

He smiled at me and said, "Don't you worry about it, honey. Just get your glass of water and go back to bed." Being just a little girl, I didn't think much of the fact that he wasn't suppose to be there at all, that he wasn't visiting and that there was no way he could magically be in our living room when he should be back home in California. Sometimes these things just don't register when you are little.

So I went and got my glass of water, and when I came back out into the living room he was gone. I wasn't scared because he was my Great Grandfather, so I simply just thought it strange and went back to bed. The next morning I asked my Mom why he was there, and she looked at my oddly and then the phone rang. It was our family in California calling to tell her that my Great Grandfather had passed away.

My Mom and I still talk about it to this day.

Evil House in Paradise

In November 2008, I had just recently had moved into a new house in Paradise, California. The house I bought was built in the late '70s and was in bad disrepair when I bought it. There were plants growing out of the walls and roof of the house. The chimney had come off and looked like it had been knocked down. The house was very far away from the city and the neighbors were what seemed like miles away. The inside of the house was badly damaged due to a fire in 2003, and the upstairs was missing most of it's insides. Me and my husband were planning to repair the house and raise a family there, so we started to repair the place.

We first realized something was wrong when the doors would seem to shut by themselves, locking my husband out more than once. As we repaired the house, more weird things started to happen. Water would leak from the ceiling as if it were raining indoors, the floors would take on a weird soft texture, and the stairs made terrible noises when we used them, as if a plane was taking off next door.

One night, I awoke at about 4 am, hearing a noise downstairs. I thought it was a burglar, so I sent my husband downstairs to investigate. Soon he came running back upstairs, and told me to call the police. He said he saw someone on the front porch. I went down to investigate, and saw the strangest thing I have ever seen. Standing in the kitchen, there was a black, dog like creature, around 8 feet tall, nearly touching the ceiling. It had bright yellow eyes and was mumbling in what sounded like Chinese.

I screamed and ran into the next room as my husband ran down to help me. I told him what I saw, but when he went into the kitchen, the creature was gone. The back door was ripped off it's hinges, and the porch was covered in weeds and burn marks, just like it was when we first moved in. We moved out a couple of weeks later, and we haven't had any trouble since. I can only presume the spirits in the house didn't approve of us fixing it.

Phone Message

My Gran had a heart condition called cardio-miopathy (I think that's how you spell it), and for years was in and out of hospital. Well a few months or so before she died we were visiting her at her house and mum asked gran if she and her sister Tommy had ever found out how they had gotten the phone message.

Well of course that made me curious and so I asked what they were talking about. Mum and gran then told me that there had been a time that gran had been in hospital and everyone was worried as she was on life support. During grans stay in hospital her sister had come home and went to check her messages on the answering machine. When she did she heard what sounded like a person who was finding it difficult to breath whispering Norma (my grans name) and then cutting off. When she tried to find out where the call had come from she couldn't find any record of that call being made.

Of course she got scared and got some of the relatives round to listen to it. Now here's were it gets weirder, after everyone had listened to it she asked them if they thought the voice on the machine sounded familiar, they then all told her that they thought it sounded like Tommy's and my grans mother who by that time had been dead for years.

When I was told about this I felt chills go down my spine and to this day it still does.

Loud Breathing Ghost

The first time I heard the loud breathing ghost was, when I was 11 years old in my old bedroom. My lights were on and I heard loud breathing. I knew it was not me cause I was holding my breath. A few weeks later when I was in bed I heard it again, but I went to sleep and that was the last time I heard when I was 11.

A few years later, I was 15 years old, my parents made me move to another room in house and I heard it again, but still I went to sleep. Then a few years later I met a strange guy at the shopping center. He looked at me and asked me if I had any pain on my cheek, cause he saw a blue glow on my cheek. When I told him, "No," the pain suddenly came on my cheek. Then he sat down beside me and told me about this ghost that breaths loud. I sat there in shock, cause I had the same problem. I asked him if he still hears that loud breathing ghost. He said, "No." I asked him what he did. He told me when I hear it again tell that ghost to, "Go away and leave me alone," and he stood up and left me.

Then when I was 20 years old, I woke up from my sleep and heard the loud breathing ghost again in my bedroom. This time I remembered what the strange guy told me to do. I sat up on my bed in the dark and said out loud, "Go away and leave me alone," as I finished saying it my bedroom was quiet again. I'm now 27 and I haven't heard from it again.

My House is Haunted

I have never believed my mom when she told me about our ghosts, that was until I found out for myself it was true.

My mum told me of a black cat that runs across our kitchen, our dog sometimes leaps at something that isn't there. When my mom told me I just laughed but there is always a but, that night I was so thirsty I ran downstairs to the kitchen for water and I tripped over something soft. I quickly looked down and nothing was there but my cold hard floor.

My mom also told me of a ghost that yelled in the night. I didn't believe her again but again it was. I was up late on a Friday watching Friends and I heard a scream. I thought it was my older brother as it sounded girly. But it wasn't, my brother was not in the house, I remembered he had gone out. I was scared so I went into my Moms room and climbed in with her. Then again I heard it and jumped up. I hardly got any sleep that night.

When I was a baby all my family had come round for some dinner at Christmas. Me and my cousin were babies and downstairs my mum heard a baby cry loud as if in pain. My mom and aunt came upstairs and we were asleep. I never ever believed things like this were true but I still live here now and I'm still scared for what might happen.

The Lady in the Rocking Chair

I was young when this happened so I don't remember but my mom told me this, she said I looked like I truly believed that what I had seen was real.

We were looking at the house that I just moved out of for the first time, my mom was talking with the real estate agent while I was in the empty living room. My mom told me that I came up to her and said, "Mommy, mommy, come look at the pretty lady in the rocking chair." Her and the agent both looked at me strangely but followed me into the living room. When we got in my mom saw an old wooden rocking chair, but no lady. "There's no one there sweetie," said my mom when she saw no one there. I answered quickly and sincerely, "But mommy she's right there." I pointed at the chair but there didn't seem to be anyone there. So my mom just shook her head and went to look at the rest of the house and left me in the living room.

She said when she came back she saw me talking to the "lady in the rocking chair." She said it seemed like she was asking me questions. She watched for a few minutes as I answered several questions. I said "yes, I dunno." I laughed then said, "ya." That's when my mom came in and said, "come on sweetie, time to go." I looked at her then back at the rocking chair and said, "bye lady." Then started to walk then stopped and looked at the rocking chair, "Oh bye Jen, I like that name." Then followed my mom out of that room.

I wish I could remember that day, my mom said I sincerely believed that there was someone in the rocking chair. Through out the years that I lived there, I always felt like I was being followed watched. My mom even said I was sitting on the floor in my room and talking to Jen (the lady in the rocking chair). She said it always seemed she was asking me questions. My mom said there were many different incidents where this happened. Sometimes she heard me laughing while I was in bed then I would say, "goodnight Jen, see you tomorrow." It was like she was my friend she never did anything to hurt me I believe that she just wanted a friend.

Home Alone and the White Orb

One night I was home alone when my whole family went out to dinner and I stayed home because I was sick. I swear it was the most terrifying night. My family went out and I was sitting at the TV watching Simpson's or something. There was a knock at the door so I got up and opened it and there was no one there. It happened again and still no one there. When I sat back down I heard the cupboards in the kitchen rattling. It got louder and louder and soon there was a big 'BANG'.

I got up raced to the kitchen turned the light on and found my cupboard door on the floor and a smashed plate scattered all over the place. At this point I was scared that a robber was in the house. But then I heard the broken bits of the plate start to move. I quickly turned around but no one was there. I then realized that it was no robber in my house but something else. And then all of a sudden I felt the whole house move and I fell to the floor. I was knocked out cold. I woke up about five minutes later and there was this white orb floating in front of me. I got up and my head was still hurting. I didn't think the orb was real so got I got some ice put it on my head and sat down. The little white orb followed me into the lounge room and then started flying around. It kept going until it stopped and disappeared.

That by far was the scariest night of my life. This is true and it only happened a couple months ago

The Green Hand

My family was out camping and my brother wanted to hear some ghost stories. My dad was all into this. He had said that his uncle had bought a house in New Jersey (this was before he was born) and my uncle had invited his four cousins over just for fun.

They all had to sleep in one large bed because there was only so much room in his house (and plus his wife had claimed the other bedroom). Now he always slept with his hand off the side of his bed. When he was around half a sleep he felt something furry touch his hand, he just slapped it away and thought nothing of it and he fell back to sleep. It was around 12:00 am and he felt something furry touch his hand. He slapped it away again, and pulled his hand up and his hand smelt just terrible. He thought it was just his cousins playing a joke on him trying to put a bucket of warm water under his hand, he decided that next time they tried whatever they were doing, he'd slap them as hard as he could and he'll try to catch them in the act. So he was half asleep in the dead of night, he again felt something furry touch his hand, he slapped it as hard as he possibly could and peered out over the bed to try to recognize who's hand it was and a green hand went underneath the bed. He looked over at all four of his cousins,and they were all there, sleeping. Now he never sleeps on the side of the bed he always sleeps in the middle.

Ghost Demon or Spirit?

Ok, this might not sound true to most viewers but I can tell you this is truly true. Anyway I was at my cousins house just goofing around when I had an idea, by the way I am Bailey, my cousins, Angel, Harley ,and their mom Debbie. This was the idea to summon the ghost in their house! Well anyway we started the game in their other empty room cause there were sightings of a ghost being there. So when we started playing the game we used candles and a thing to talk to the ghost, well after we did that we started. I asked the ghost what was its name and how old it was? It said its name was Tommy and he was seven years old. We were all shocked at the cup moving but then out of no where Tommy said, GET OUT YOURE NOT WANTED HERE, GO HOME NOW ARE ELSE! Now we were scared out of our minds. But I seemed to deal with ghost, demons, spirits, all the time. They don't really scare me until Tommy threw something at me. Then I was scared.

Then after that we asked him what he was and he said he wasn't a ghost or spirit or demon so we were confused of what he was? Then all of a sudden lights went out, the candles were out we got scared and held each others hands and well we knew if you broke the circle then Tommy could get inside us and maybe hurt us. So we stayed still for a long period of time until the candles went on again which scared us more. We ended the game and  left the room for that whole night except me and Angel went back in there and slept in that room!  Also I am 12 years old and I love ghosts. My cousins, Angel 10, Harley 11. Count us brave for staying all that time!

I am in love with ghosts, demons, spirits, Anything you can think of that some people don't exist! I believe in anything that lives that did live are that never ever lived at all!

Strange Happenings

One day my mum was downstairs and she told me what had just happened to her. She had a tissue and she put it on the chair and watched her movie. When she reached back to get it it was gone. She checked the bin and all around the sofa but it wasn't there. So she got another one and the same thing happened. When she got her third tissue and she went to the toilet she didn't leave it incase it went missing again so she took it But when she got back she needed to top up her wine glass so she put her tissue down. When she got back it was gone! After hearing this I was freaked out but I went to sleep anyway. In the middle of the night I was awoken by someone tapping my leg. No one was there. I checked my sister but she was still asleep. It was so weird. Then when me and my friend were in my brothers bedroom the computer switched itself on when no one was near it. At about midnight we went back in to get out water and the computer was fully logged on.

A few nights later I was in bed and my door began to creak open. I got so scared but I figured it was just my window making it open like it usually does. I shut the window and slammed my door shut. A couple of minutes later my sister said my name and then asked why I didn't close the door. I told her I did and she pointed to it. It was lying half open! Yesterday I was sleeping over at my friends house and we slept on top of our covers but when we woke up the covers were over us as if someone had tucked us in. Then we lay talking that morning and suddenly we heard a shuffling noise. We both froze and it grew louder and closer as if someone was dragging their feet towards us.

Right now we are sitting typing this very freaked out! Who knows what else will happen.

Man in the Attic

When I was younger, we had a bit of a joke around the house that there was a ghost living there, which started from the people who sold the house to my parents who told my parents that a man named Chris had either died in the house or died at the hospital, but lived in the house prior to when we moved in. When things went missing, or stuff happened that couldn't be explained, we'd just go "Oh! Darn you, Christopher!", I doubt any of us really believed it was a ghost or anything though, just your average missing things and such.

So, one day when I was around eight years old, my three cousins (ages nine, eight, and six) were over at my house and we were playing upstairs. At one point I went to the attic door and suggested we should go up there and see what there is. They all quickly refused because they were afraid to go. Finding their fear stupid, I swung open the door while still facing them and pointed back and just told them "There's nothing to be afraid of! It's just an attic!" then I at them and I see them looking up the stairs in shock and horror, the youngest one begins crying and runs off. So I turn around and there's a man standing at the top of the steps. A man that I have never seen before in my life. So I quickly shut the door and we played somewhere else.

I have since then, returned to the attic, I'm not sure how soon, but that was the first, last, and only time that had happened.

Ghost in My Bedroom

Since my Mom passed March 9th of this year there have been visitors show up in my bedroom at night.  I am very serious and very curious - I wonder if my Mom’s spirit came to visit and left the door open?

I woke one night thinking my son was next to my side of the bed so I turned to lay on my back discovering it was not my son, it was a young man approximately in his late 20’s.  He had a watermelon colored shirt and jeans and I think, short, spiked blonde hair.  He was starring down at me, his left knee resting on the bed and right foot on the floor.  I starred at him for what seemed like minutes, he didn’t move a muscle so I finally said, “WHAT?”.  He stood there starring; I could not detect a clear facial structure but it appeared there was simply a ‘blank’ stare.  Probably a second or two more I said, “Michael!’, (my husband) - at that moment the ‘man’ faded away towards my right across the bed as Michael was answering, “What?”; at that point I simply responded, ‘Nothing.’  Turned over and eventually went back to sleep.

The next morning I told Michael of my experience; he just responded, “That’s really strange’.  Three nights later Michael had a very similar ‘viewing’.  He saw a figure continuously tossing a baseball into his glove and another figure laying on the top of our foot wide ‘boxed’ headboard peering down at me.  The last viewing was two nights ago.  Michael said there was a short guy walking up and down by the foot of the bed seemingly to taunt him.  He said he got up and tried to grab the ‘guy’ and ‘he’ disappeared and when he turned around there were two more figures that quickly disappeared.

I have been ‘dwelling’ on this a bit more than I choose to and this is my reason for ‘putting it out there’ because I am very curious if anyone has had any similar experiences. Michael and I have had many strange experiences such as the bed shimmering and reaching back behind our heads to grab what we thought was our cat walking across our pillows but nothing was there.

Weird Things in My House of Mirrors

My house is full of mirrors. A couple full walls in my house are just mirrors. One of those walls is in my living room. Sometimes I'll walk by and happen to glance at the mirror and I'll see something (or someone) in the old rocking chair. Or like earlier today I was sitting on the couch and I swear I heard someone typing on the keyboard in the living room. I've recently moved out of this room for this reason, one night, really late, my dog was just staring at the top left corner of my room. I said "what's wrong Finn?" and all of a sudden she started barking hysterically. Her head turned around my room and out the door, still barking. Its been said that dogs can sense ghosts, so I immediately thought that there was just a ghost in my room.

Today, I was making a movie on the video camera with a friend of mine and we were watching it over and we saw an assortment of orbs flying around the screen. Sometimes at night and when I'm alone. I get the feeling I'm being watched. I hear strange noises, like the pantry door opening and things falling inside them. I don't know if this is just my imagination or if my house is really haunted.

Mysterious Black Mass in My Room

Ok in the summer of 2008 it was about 2 in the morning and I was asleep and I heard a loud noise in the corner of my bedroom. Now I live in complex apartments so one of the apartments patio lights were on and it shines through my window and shines on the corner of the wall... so as I woke up I didn't see the light shining on the wall so I just thought that it was broken (we don't have any control if we want them on or not they just come on at night like street lights).

So I didn't think much of it until I peek out the window and see that it is still on. I look at the corner of my room and I see what looked like a 6 foot face-less black shadow standing there and it seemed like it was staring at me. I was frozen with fear and shock and it didn't move or say a word, then all of a sudden it started to move very slowly towards me almost like it was floating towards me and it stopped at the end of my bed and I finally snapped out of it and reached to turn my light on and it was like just before I could touch the light switch it was gone. I haven't seen it since and I still don't know what it was or what it wanted. I was 15 I'm 16 now it really freaked me out I couldn't go back to sleep until it was light outside.

Night of the Ouija Board

This story is true! Ok, it was the night of my birthday and my family decided to go over to my sister-in-laws house for a party. My boyfriend and I were bored so we decided to look through the games for something to do. We ended up finding a Ouija board. My sister in law told us not to open it up and use it in her house, she had fears of spirits haunting her son and my niece. So I took it home and my boyfriend and I decided to use it for fun.

It took a while to get it started up, but it was around midnight when we started to get into contact with this man that had died while he was living on my property. He said that he died peacefully, but my brother happened to call at 12:00 midnight, he wanted to talk to my dad about a song that he was thinking about at the time. I was curious as to why he called so I decided to ask him, he said that he wanted to know the singer of a song called "Graveyard Shift." My boyfriend and I thought that that was a little weird, so when he got home later that day he decided to look up the song and he stumbled upon a fact that men can suffer from prostate cancer and can die from it from working the graveyard shift. So the next time we talked to a spirit we asked if he died from colon cancer. He said yes. It was all very weird. We also spoke to a couple that died shortly after getting married. They were very sweet and nothing to as I thought.

Help With Shadow Creature

I am not a overly religious person, but I need some insight into a shadow figure that has been making it's presence felt more frequently. At first I was afraid of it. But I no longer am. It appears at night, only in my bedroom and seems to like to lay beside me, or make indentations on my bed and gently shake my mattress. It sometimes even jumps over me to get to the right side of the bed. It walks into the kitchen and I can hear it's foot steps. It bangs on walls, shakes the windows and sometimes makes moaning sounds. But it is strange because this figure has appeared in my now ex husbands dreams and in my ex boyfriends dreams.

Several years ago I dreamt I saw it watching me, watching it through my bedroom window as my husband and I slept. They both have never met, but they both told me the same dream characteristics, "a black figure was kidnapping you from me and I couldn't fight it." Subsequently after each had these dreams, our relationship ended. (nothing to do with the dream.) But I wonder if the entity is actually following me from place to place and relationship to relationship. Last night when it appeared, I moved over to the right side of the bed so that it could lay down on the left side, then I said good night and it strangely made a pressure indentation in the mattress next to me. I then went back to sleep. Am I crazy, or is this real? It has been more frequent over the past four years.

Shadow Ghost Attack

This happened a couple weeks after I moved into a new house. My parents room is across from min so you would usually feel a little safer. My brothers room is also only around 15 ft away but he usually sleeps in the living room, next to my room.

So I was also sleeping in the living room that night, but woke up around midnight. My brother was watching a show that I couldn't fall asleep to, so I went into my room. (take note it takes my around an hour to fall asleep, so this wasn't my imagination.)

All of a sudden I hear a man's voice, but ignored it cause I'm used to these type of things. I opened my eyes and there was a shadow type thing walking around my room. I still wasn't very scared because like I said this is actually normal for me to have encounters like these. So I was thinking it doesn't look like he will hurt me, but then he walked over to me.

I was like "ok what does he want?" He reached out his hands and started chocking me. I couldn't breath, and was paralyzed. I still didn't have that much fear but there was a little, because I get attacked often. (I don't know why.) He said something to me than disappeared. I think he said something about my hair. I was only in my room for 5 minuets because I went back to the living room. No one in my family believes me though.

I got rid of the ghost because I know how to.

The Green Man

My grandma and her sister where staying over there to celebrate their grandmas birthday. They were both sleeping in a room that the bed was positioned just so that they could see straight down the hallway. It was a quarter to 1:00 am and my grandmas sister sat straight up screaming and pointing down the hall. My grandma woke up and tried to calm her sister down so she could explain what the she was screaming about. Her sister said she saw a green glowing man with a suit on walking towards her and that once she had started screaming the man ran in to the other room where their grandma was sleeping.

They both got out of bed and entered their grandmas room. She was dead, her eyes were rolled back into her head and there was a little blood at the corner of her mouth. They later figured out the man was their uncle. He had owned a suit exactly like that, it was a new suite he had just bought at the fitting store, and a month later he had died in the suit.

Something in My Room

Hi, I'm 18 years old and am an author of three books about Angels and Demons, I love it all (Not Demons, obviously) and believe in it greatly, but one story confuses me... about... my own room.

This isn't a huge story, but I want some answers possibly, to something I have experienced within my very own room. Last year I was with a girl who was able to communicate with the dead via her spirit guide, *unnamed*. One day we lay on my bed, talking as lovers do, when suddenly, her face went pale as she looked toward the end of my bed. She said she could see... another version of me... leaning against the wall. She seemed scared, she couldn't move an inch. I kept saying to her 'I'm here though, not there,' but she said that there was 'another me' behind me... Thing is, is that a while before that she told me that there was a presence in my room, a spirit who was good and cared for me, that's all I knew.

My ultimate questions are;

1: Is it possible to have a spirit with or around you who looks the EXACT same as you? Manifestation? What is it, and why did it look like me? Is it common, or has it happened or been reported before? I've never heard a case like it in my life.

2: Do you think this could be a spirit within my room watching over me? I do have warm, happy feelings when I'm in here, I've lived here for over seven years.

Thank you for your time to read my little story. God bless you all.

My Moms Mysterious Doppelganger

I would like to share a story with you that happened during my childhood. It was during summer, so I would usually stay up late reading. It was about 10 or 11 pm, and my mother was watching TV downstairs (we had a two story house). Something wasn't right, because my mother usually goes to sleep at about 9 pm upstairs. I was just curious so I went to check on her. There she was, on the sofa. I asked her what movie she was watching. She just turned around and looked at me. I got the creeps. It was dark and only the TV was on. "Mom,are you alright?" I asked. She looked at me for about another 10 seconds. "I'm not mom, mom is upstairs sleeping." I got really uneasy. "Quit joking mom, you're right here, I'm looking at you right now," I said. "You can go upstairs and look, your mom is asleep," she answered. Now she really started to freak me out. "Mom please stop this, your really scaring me," I replied. No answer.

I rushed like the wind upstairs. There she was sound asleep. I was speechless. "Don't panic," I said to myself." It's just a joke," I kept telling myself. As I went back downstairs I thought. I knew there's no doubt something is going on. There's no way she could have possibly gotten past me when I was going upstairs. When I got back downstairs she was gone and the TV was off. Have I been imagining things? I've never had any problems with my mind until this day.

The next morning when my mom woke up I told her the whole story. "I went to sleep at 9pm, and I wasn't watching TV downstairs before I went to sleep, "my mom said. I got the creeps again.But there's something else. When I was a little younger, and when I lived at a different place, I would often have nightmares where there my mom, and exact same clone of her. I don't have any problems right now, and my mom is alright, but I still remember this story very clearly.

The White Man

One night me and my little brother where sitting in our bed room, when we heard a noise coming from our back garden so we looked  out of our bed room window when we both saw a white man (all in white even his skin). It ran though our garden, I ran down the stairs to let the figure in but when I got down there no one was there, I went back to tell my brother no one was there.

A couple of years later me and my friend went over there Gramer field no one was in there just me and her we were just talking and looking for golf ball. I saw a golf ball so we both ran over to get it when it disappeared right in front of our eyes we both were very scare at that moment. We went and sat back down when we both saw a white figure come into the Gramer field, we thought it was one of our mates but it wasn't, that's when I told her about the White man I had seen two years ago.

We ran behind a forest when a dog came running out of no where its came straight to me (my friend hates dogs) it had a collar on I try to look at that's when it ran off and we never saw it again. Lucky that night my friend was staying over we slept down stairs that's when things started to happen. We heard noise coming from my back garden the White Man walked passed the door making the handle move. We never slept that night. Luckily I have never seen it again!

Ghost Boy in Newcastle

One night me and my parents had a massive fight and I ran off to the park to calm down. My dad had texted me telling me to come home but I was too mad to face him, so I sat at the bottom of the stairs (we live in a flat) cause there was people in every room. I hate going down the stairs even in the day, but it was starting to get dark. The stairs always have a creepy feeling about them, and when we were little, me and my friend James used to sit there and tell ghost stories.

Well, my dad and mam kept coming to check on me and I heard a creak on the top of the stairs so I turned round thinking it was my dad and I saw someone leaning over the top of the rail, but it wasn't one of my family. I have two sisters and a brother, and it definitely wasn't my sisters or my dad cause it looked like a boy, maybe about nine or ten (bearing in mind that my brothers only six). It actually looked a bit like an older version of my brother, but even skinnier if that's possible, and with brown eyes instead of blue, and he was a lot taller than my brother. I looked at him and thought it was my mum, which is stupid, but I wasn't paying much attention.

A couple of days after I came out of the kitchen and was going to sit on the sofa, when it looked like someone was already sitting there. I only saw it for a split second, but I could swear it was the lad. I live in Newcastle, and my house is over 100 years old (it could have been a miners or a shipbuilders house) so I don't know... maybe the lad is just a boy who was killed down the pits all those years ago.

A Father's Love

My father and I were very close. I was the baby of the family and he had named me, so when he passed away after a very short illness I was lost and was feeling very much alone. My parents had been married for sixty years. I was a late child and have three older siblings (I am 48 years old).

My father chose to be cremated and as were waiting for extended family members to come back home, I chose to go back to work  for a couple of days until my fathers service. I was not feeling very well after the first couple of hours (STRESS!) I went out back for a smoke to chill just a bit. Now it's a very hot early July forenoon I am sitting out back and I see out of the corner of my eye  what I at  first thought was a dragonfly,but soon realized that what I was seeing was a Hummining bird, so close that I could have reached out with my fully extended arm and touched it. I could not believe my eyes, now hummingbirds are not uncommon in eastern Michigan but they usually need a food source, flowers with nectar or pure nectar (sugar water) anyway something sweet. Now where I am sitting none of these things exist nothing, no plants of any kind that would attract this type of bird yet here it was hovering so close that I could reach out and touched it.

Now my father was an avid feeder of wild birds any wild bird you could think of winter spring did not matter he fed them, he built houses for them, made sure I fed them if he went away for the winter, and so on. Now the only bird that my Dad did not feed was Humming birds he did not have to because he had a trumpet vine at his home, a natural feeder.

To go back to that day, this bird hovered just out of my reach for at least 45 seconds, a long time for a humming bird and then it flew off. I never saw another humming bird out there again but for some reason knew deep in my soul that my Father had came to tell me that he was OK, to let me know that life goes on or that is what It is. My Father never believed in ghosts, what he would tell me that we are all born at a set time and we die at a set time. It's what we choose to do with that time is all up to us. I agree we all have a choice I choose to believe that was my Father saying Goodbye ~ Jamie Ann.

Four Ouija Board Spirits

My cousin and I were playing the Ouija board and we asked the board questions like is anyone there or like how did you die or what's your name, stuff like that. The board said yes, I asked it are you a boy or a girl, and the board said 4 meaning there's 4 spirits among the board. Well I asked it all boys or all girls or 2 boys or are there 2 girls what? It said all guys then went to yes. It got still for a little bit so I asked it are you done talking? It said to me, no, so my cousin and I decided we were done with the board so we put it away.

Llater on that night my cousin and I walked to my aunt's room and turned on the light to make our bed then turned out the light. Then my cousin and I saw a white figure almost like a man. So we pulled back out the Ouija board and asked it are you here? It said yes. I asked it who? It said nothing. I asked it again and it said Juan. Then we heard music but nothing was on. Then my cousin and I put the board away.

All that night we heard and seen stuff like white figures. I told my dad and he was not happy and all of my family in my house now hear stuff crashing of dishes and sometimes I would hear voices of people in my room. True story too folks.

Strange Man on the Hill

One day at my house and I was walking around my house. I looked up the hill that led out of our neighborhood. I looked up there because I was expecting company. Then I went back to walking around. I walked for about an hour only to have a feeling that someone or something was watching me. I was overcome with fear and I ran very quickly and I looked out the window. I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was a shadow. I dashed outside and at the top of the hill was a man. He was all bloody and he was limping from a crashed truck.

I ran inside and yelled for my mom. She was in the shower though. I looked out the window and I felt a pain in my back. I looked at it and sure enough it was a big scar. I screamed but my mom didn't hear me. So I looked outside and then I saw a shadow dash across the pavement. I ran back outside and the man was gone and so was the shadow.

My mom came down from the shower so I told her to look at my back and to my surprise the scar was gone. Ever since that day I have never ever looked up that hill again. Every once and a while I get a scratch on my back and see the shadow roaming on my pavement.
