Bad Luck From Ouija Board?

I have always been curious about Ouija boards. I have played them when I was younger, and nothing ever happened. I have always heard that they would open a door and invite nothing but evil into your life, well all the horror stories is WHAT made me so curious.

A few months back my cousin was talking about his basement being haunted and he blamed it on the Ouija board that he found down there. So I told him that I would take it off his hands. I have to admit I was a little nervous because of everything I have heard and read about them. That night at work I found a co-worked how wanted to play at lunch. Well nothing happened.

After that I found myself wanting to play it very bad, but my fiancé wouldn't let my bring it in the house, so I played it in the garage. I never actually talked to any spirits but I did have a string of luck that calling it bad is an understatement. I lost my job two days later, we almost lost our apartment, I was having dreams that something was watching me sleep and would wake up scared.

After I got rid of the board after breaking it in half my luck slowly got better. I do believe that the Ouija board brought on my bad luck. I am now a believer and my fiancé says I was probably lucky (ironically) not to have contacted anything.

Thanks for reading and sorry that I wasn't scary!

Imaginary Friend in Beaufort South Carolina

I lived in military housing on Laurel Bay in Beaufort, South Carolina from 1990 - 1993. My three-year old son had an imaginary friend named "DD". Anytime a mess was made by my son, he would say it was his friend DD.  He constantly talked about DD. I thought it was cute.

One day I was getting dressed for work and my son came into my room and said that DD was standing beside him. The hair on the back of my neck stood up. I asked him what DD looked like. He told me that DD was a big black man.

I went to work that day and told a friend about it. This friend had lived in Beaufort her entire life and told me homes were built on top of unmarked slave graveyards. From that point forward, I asked my son where DD was and what he was doing.

On moving day (when we moved away from Beaufort) my son said that DD was in the car with us. At some point when we left South Carolina, and were in Tennessee, I asked my son how DD was doing. He said that DD jumped out of the car. He has never mentioned DD again, and doesn't even remember DD, other than the stories I've told him.

Other than DD, I had the worst nightmares of my life while living in Beaufort.  I haven't experienced anything that frightening since.

My Encounter with Shadow Creatures

Me and my parents were sitting at the dinner table and there was air freshener on top of  the fridge. Then I saw a black shadow out of the corner of my eye. When I looked over it was gone. Then I kept eating shrugging it off when the air freshener fell off the fridge. My moms boyfriend then said " what the heck?" Then we all glanced over to the fridge area. We all started wondering how it could have possibly fallen seeing as there was nothing to make it fall.

When I went to throw something out outside, I heard screeching and whispers and I ran inside and told my mom and she just said it was nothing.

Later on that night I went upstairs in my room to read a book.I had my door open and I kept seeing black figures run across the hallway. All three of my cats were in my room my dog was down stairs with my mom and my little brother was sleeping. I called from upstairs and asked my mom if she had come upstairs at all. She answered no.

I couldn't sleep at all that night and I have been seeing shadow creatures everywhere, including friends and family houses

Am I Being Haunted?

I stay at home alone a lot and I have recently noticed a bunch of strange things happening in my home. during the summer when my mom and other family members have been gone at work I would stay home by myself, well we have a dog (this only happens when its just me and him) he stares down the hallway and barks. And its not a playful bark its a mean bark. I rarely ever hear him growl but he growls and just stares down the hall for minutes. recently he was barking and he backed up and starting crying and jumped on my bed with me. this isn't the only thing that has happened. I feel watched. I feel as if when no ones home there is someone here with me.

The past few nights I have woke up and my blankets and pillows are on the other side of the room. the other morning I woke up and my fan (I have a stand up fan) was laying flat on the ground. I am a very light sleeper so I would of heard it drop but I didn't. I hear things move all the time. I can hardly sleep. I'm worried. If any of you have any advice for me it would be a big help.

Several Hauntings

Whenever I went down into my basement, it felt like someone was following me and it pushed me down four steps. It appeared over my bed as a ball of light, and I could see weird gnome like shadow people running in my front yard, and see a shadowy black mass appear in the corner of my room.

At my grandmothers old house, the upstairs (especially at the top of the steps) it was freezing, I could feel someone watching me, you could feel something bad in the house, and I heard the most loud god awful bang in the world like a gunshot which is understandable because the old man that lived in there before hung and shot himself.

My Haunted Bedroom

When I was 6, I had a horrible experience in my bedroom. I was in my bedroom late one night and I had just turned off my computer and TV, I had my dad tuck me in but when he left, the strange things started happening. I looked into my TV and it had a body figure the reflection right by me, I looked over to see who it was but nothing appeared to be there. I hid under the blankets hoping I could forget about it and go to bed, but the opposite happened. I could not get the man out of my head and I had trouble getting to sleep that night. So I peeked out to make sure no one was there, and no one was... until 5 minutes later. I saw a black silhouette in the shape of a man at the foot of my bed. He reached out his arm, called my name fast and abrasive and then disappeared. Then, my clothes in my closet started moving and falling off the hangers. I now was really scared, I screamed and my dad came running in but it all stopped before he got in.

The next day we bought a Ouija board and the spirits responded. They said to leave and we weren't welcome here. we asked why, and they said that the bodies buried bellow were getting upset and wanted us out. So my dad packed all of our clothes and belongings and we never went back. Later, we went to the real estate company and told them they need to bulldoze the house and we told them the story of what happened in my room. Where the house was now lays as a graveyard. Thank you for reading my ghost story.

Footsteps in the Dark

I moved into an apartment about four months ago. Last night, I woke up to odd sounds in the next room. I thought it was the cat jumping up on the rocker a couple of times. It sounded like someone moving about. I thought how odd that the cat would do that but couldn’t wrap my mind around what it could be. Then, there were fast heavy footsteps crossing the living room floor. My boyfriend jumped up. (I didn’t know the noise had awakened him, too, until this point.) I said “Where are you going?” as he darted into the next room. He said he heard someone in the living room. A chill went up my spine and I followed him. I pushed the rocker and it is quiet as can be when someone sits in it. My boyfriend checked all the rooms, closets included. He unlocked front and back doors. He and went outside to look and went into the basement. We live upstairs. There are two large dogs in the apartment below. They bark loudly when they hear any sounds on the back stairs, which they did when he headed down there.

My boyfriend insists someone was in the house (like a real person). I don’t believe anybody could have gotten down the stairs that fast without being caught. The doors were locked and the cat was in the bedroom. My boyfriend believes someone was watching us as we slept and quickly darted into the other room when he saw us stirring. But where did he go?

Nostradamus

This is a brief story about one of my many scary experiences I had. This one was about Nostradamus a famous man in history with a dark tale. We all know of him to be a man famous for his predictions but the methods he used was not of God and more  of the occult. I read the day before well it was actually a few years ago it happened that he was involved in the occult and he even predicted that he was going to hell for it.

The following day I told my brother and cousin about it and even pull up the article on Google. My brother sat directly in front of the pc while my cousin and I were almost side by side. As he neared the part I told them off where it was said he predicted he was going to hell on the table where the pc was I was a black hand from the arm to the hand rest on the pc and I saw my cousin push the chair back and jumped up. At the same time we asked did you see that then I said tell me what you saw I kept my own to myself until I knew if we was on the same track and he said he saw a black then I finish by saying arm rest right there my brother was too close so he was unaware of a dark hand resting right a little off from him and this was one of my many paranormal experiences I shared with a family member.

Sleep Paralysis and Fear

I have always suffered from this sleep problem since I was about 11 or 12 years old, I couldn't understand why this happened to me. As you know in those times, back in the 50's and 60's, things of this nature were kept behind close doors. As a child that I was it was very frightful, I knew I was awake but there was nothing I could do about it. The feeling of fear that I had was very overwhelming, I couldn't turn to my family because of there old fashion ways. The nightmare happened to me twice a week, I could hear my mother's voice or someone standing next to me while I lay helplessly in bed, not able to move... The pressure I felt on my chest was very bad and at time I felt pain.  But as time passed by, I noticed it only happens when I'm laying face up in bed or on my tummy, never on my side.

As the years pass by I learn to control theses feeling by praying and trying not to think about what was around me, and ride this feeling of fear away from me. As time passes by I had less and less nightmares, and now that I'm older I don't have them no more... but still even now in the back of my mind, I will always remember what happen to me as a child.

Shadows of Two Girls at my Door

It all started this year back in I'd say January. However it always started in the middle of the night. The first night it started I was too afraid to even move. It all took place at the door to come into my room. They looked like shadows of two girls about the age of maybe 11 and 8. They always seemed so cheerful. One night I wanted to talk to them and see them a little bit closer, but sadly once I did they disappeared into thin air. I was actually looking forward to actually communicate with them.

I tried to tell my sister and my parents but they didn't believe me. I guess its a little bit hard to understand something you've never seen before. But there are also even more strange occurrences that occur in my home like when I was about five years old I would here loud footsteps coming from the attic and the time when one night I was sleeping (I was three years old at the time) and a shadowy figure was trying to untangle the balloon strings wrapped around me. But I still don't think those creatures was trying to harm me. I personally think they where my guardian angels. Sorry that's the end of my story but if I have another possibly paranormal experience I will definitely tell you.

Ghost Children in Elementary School?

It was a beautiful summer day. It was August one7, 2010, and I was riding my bike to meet a friend to hang out there at an elementary school I went to in the past. As I'm approaching the playground we said we were to meet, I see 3 children playing in said playground. My friend and I being about the same age, I assume he is there along with a couple friends of his. I turn my bike around the library (the playground was next to the school library, so I had to go around it.) As I turn the corner, I notice that something's wrong. As I reach the gates into the playground, I notice there are no children inside the playground. I then start to think I was seeing things. But it was 5 seconds from the time I saw them to when I reached the gate. I don't think they climbed the fences that quickly, and if they happened to climb them THAT fast, I would've seen them run away. I also remember that since it's summer break, the school would be locked up except the outside gates to let people get in to walk or play, so they couldn't have went there, Also, I notice that the playground I saw them in had only one gate, which meant one way in, one way out. I then started to think that my friends were playing a trick on me and hide behind the flower beds when I arrive, like they did a few days ago. I look in the flower beds and no one was hiding there. As I leave, I instantly remember that a plane crash occurred in the schoolyard years ago and that there may have been children killed in the crash. I now think that I saw the ghosts of victims of a plane crash in an elementary school.

The Night after the Funerals

The second night after my grandpa's funerals, we were all united to mourn. As the tradition suggests, the whole family has to wait three days to get to their normal activities so, I had my aunts and uncle over for the night. That night, I slept with my sister, the lights on, because everything was so blurry around me. The house was like under a curse or something, you could not but feel a weird presence, it'd lost its bliss. So I went to sleep at around 10 pm, and at around midnight, I woke up. The lights were still on in my room and my sister was deep asleep. It was kind of creepy, the atmosphere gave me the creeps even though my family was sleeping in the living room. Suddenly as I blinked, I saw an illusionary figure, all dressed in white, saying to me 'You went to sleep early tonight.'

I was paralyzed with fear, I wanted to shout but I could not. I still remember this night so well and I wonder how I had the courage to not move !  Well It's a true story.

Nightmares Depression and Hallucinations

I've been having nightmares daily for the past couple of years. It all started one summer when I got very depressed for no reason, I had hallucinations, and that is when my nightmares started. I no longer feel scared and depressed like I did that summer.

Most of my nightmares are about me seeing people suffering and I'm trying to help them or me killing "bad" people. I've never had a traumatic event and recently I found out my older brother has nightmares night as well.

We've come to wonder if its a bad vibe in the house? Or maybe something bad targeting us? Any thoughts?

The Myth that Came True

My father tells a scary story to my little cousins each year.  It's always the same one, but every year a new child is invited into our family, seeing as I have many aunts, uncles, older cousins, and siblings. He tells this story and makes one of his children (it's mostly me) go outside with a mask on and scare the kids. They still haven't figured out it isn't true. But one night when I was babysitting all of my younger cousins, which is estimated about 10 (I'm not even kidding). It was midnight and they had been asleep for a few hours. My parents and aunts/uncles were still not home, I was the only one up. I heard a bang upstairs and yelled, "get back to sleep!" For another few minutes it was quiet. I went back to reading my book. I got hungry and decided to get an apple from the kitchen. Our house in kind of big, and to get from the living room to the kitchen there is a long hallway with windows lined up all the way on both sides. It was windy outside, so when I heard tapping on the window, I ignored it and told myself it was just a tree. When I got back into the living room, one of my cousins was curled up on the couch with tears in his eyes.
