Outside My Body

I lived in San Bernardino, California with my mom and brothers. My youngest brother and I shared a room and my other brother had another room.

The neighbors had an old house in their backyard and believe me it wasn't pretty to look at during night time. My window faced their backyard so before I went to bed I closed my curtains.

Well one night I fell asleep but woke up to go into my kitchen. I started feeling a sharp pain in my chest so I went back to my room. My window was open and so were my curtains but I saw myself asleep on my bed. I thought, what is going on?!

I saw two arms reaching in. I saw a girl with an evil look on her face. It looked to me as if she were trying to get into my body. I was fighting her off and I tried waking up my brother. I ran into the kitchen and poured salt around my bed.

The next morning I woke up to find salt on my bed. My chest still hurt. It was a horrible feeling and my brother told me he had a nightmare where he saw the same girl. I don't know who she was but this terrified me

Forever Watching

In October 2005, a public works employee from my hometown was doing some routine maintenance in the basement of my hometown's South pumping station. The air mask he was wearing malfunctioned, and he died from carbon monoxide poisoning on the way to the hospital. Nothing too out of the ordinary, right? Wrong.

Shortly after the employee's death, public works employees have been afraid to go into the basement by themselves or in a group. Even with the air conditioning on full blast in the basement, it's always colder in the spot where the employee died than anywhere else died.

There's also been reports of some employees feeling like they're being watched when they're in the basement. Reports of things like that have been going on ever since. This October will be the 6th anniversary of the employee's death.

Depression Suicide Thoughts and a Ouija Demon

So, when I was about fifteen I was really depressed. I wanted to end my life. I was also stupid and opened myself up to be possessed by demons or whatever wanted me. I went to the lake shortly after. Whenever I leave the lake for as long as I remember it rained.

I recently started hanging out with my friend and I told her that I thought I had a demon or something on me because I had used a Ouija board at college and the demon talked and said something about the lake. Then Aliah popped in her head. She can also see auras and feel presences and gets words in her head all the time.

So we looked it up and Aliah or Alvah is a duke of Edom and he is connected to the lake. I thought it was really creepy. He has been ruining my life though and I am going to a priest to get him off of me.

Why Do I See These Shadows?

When I first encounter this I was beyond terrified. I was about 10 years old, and at that age you always wanna sleep with a night light. Well this one night my mother who I love to death left the light on the hallway for me so I can sleep.

And for reason something told me to wake up and look over at my door. And that what I did. I awoke to figure standing at my doorway. This thing stood about the size of door and had horns. I was scared that if I screamed that the shadow would come closer and tried to kill me. So all I did was just shut and hope and I never wake up from that.

This other encounter didn't frighten me as much as the first one cause it was different. I was in my living room watching TV. In the middle of my show I saw a white shadowy figure walking across my wall and I know didn't come from outside cause the curtain that we had were completely shut. As I was watching white shadow move. It was going towards my room.

I don't why I saw these shadows. But after those encounters I never saw them again. Was it possible that I saw an angel and a demon? Leave me a comment below and tell me what you think

Me and the Savannah Ghost

I was young when it happened, third grade. I had been anticipating our trip to Georgia for weeks and when we arrived I saw a sign that made my jaw drop. 'Ghosts and Gravestones Tour.' It was a tour that would take you on a trolley at night to see the haunted stuff in Savannah.

[caption id="attachment_2484" align="alignright" width="279" caption="Sorrel Weed House"][/caption]

Well I got my parents to take me, and most of it was a blast! Except... The Sorrel Weed House. So we went inside and within the first 10 minutes I made my mom wait outside with me while my dad continued with the group.

There was a graveyard close to the area so I was focused on trying to count the gravestones I could see in the dim light. That's when it happened. My mom was on the trolley and I saw something. A, mass of some sorts. Too thin to be fog, to thick to be mist or a projection. I froze up, not sure what to do, it began hovering towards me. Chills ran up my spine as it came closer. It passed beside me, and disappeared.

To this day I have no clue what the mass was, but you could say that night blossomed into my obsession with the paranormal. To those whom go to the Sorrel Weed House, be warned.

Demon Attacking My Friend

Hi I hope you can help me. I am trying to help my friend get rid of a demon or evil spirit that is in her house.

It all started when she decided to invoke an old friend of hers that passed away. She dabbles in white magic but something went wrong. I could feel it and told her to stop as to I was at home outside and could feel something bad was about to happen. She went to blow out the candle when it went out on its own and her dogs started barking at something.

I have tried to help push it out of her house with my energy and it has ran after pushing me really hard. I don't know for sure what it wants something to do with her I know that for sure as to it keeps holding her down on the bed and keeps rubbing her inner thighs. It has scratched her arm a little bit and I have pictures of her arm and of the demon on her phone. It is big strong male and evil. I can't make out its face even tough it was standing right in front of me.

It is not happy when I am around as to it knows I am a threat to it I want it gone so that she doesn't get hurt but I don't want to do something wrong and tick it off to have it hurt me too.

What do I do in order to get rid of it.I thought of spraying the house with Holy water but I am not Catholic so don't know if that would help with the negative energy that's around from him. He keeps hiding in the attic and comes down when she is alone mainly at night when he is stronger. Please tell me what to do I am afraid this thing is getting too powerful an will hurt someone or her as too her house is full of negative energy all the time.

Tingling Sensations and Whispering Voices

OK, so the first strange thing that happened was probably about a year ago. Me and my boyfriend were asleep at our old apartment. I suddenly felt like my whole body was tingling (like when your foot falls asleep)... then all of a sudden I had a strong feeling like my mom (who is alive) was standing right in front of me talking to me but I couldn't see her. I believe I was awake during all this but not too sure.

Well, I just pretty much brushed this off to a weird dream I guess... well, then last night same scenario, me and my boyfriend were sleeping in our new house, but all of a sudden I felt this intense tingling sensation running up my spine to my neck and shoulders, and I heard whispering noises in my ear (very distinct whispering, but I couldn't make out what was being said) and I felt like I couldn't really move!

Then when the tingling sensation was gone I jumped up. I swear, I feel like I was awake because I can remember everything that happened so vividly, but I don't really know... I'm just super confused because it was so real and so creepy!

I just wanna know if anybody else has experienced anything like this or if anybody knows what could be happening! Thanks.

Will's Christmas Visitor a Ghost Story

This story was told to me by one of my customers. This gentleman is a very serious, quiet nature, older man, who never jokes around about anything, a very "salt of the earth" person, so, I take the story he shared with me to be a true tale...

One Christmas time, several years ago, "Will" went by to check on "Janie". Janie was now a widow, she had been since earlier in the year when her husband "David" had passed away rather suddenly of a heart attack at a relatively young age, he was only in his 40s. Will was a little bit older than Janie and David and as they were all from the same community, they had known each other their entire lives. All were from people of modest means, with old time values, like "treating their neighbor as themselves"; Basic, nice, people from the Alabama countryside.

Will had been making a point to check on Janie since her husbands passing. If he had extra veggies from his garden, he would take her some. When he chopped firewood for his wood burning stove he would take her some for her fireplace. If there was some repair that she needed on her car or on her home he would try to do it for her. All with the intent of a "Big Brother" looking after a "little sister".

He told me that when he got home that night, he decided to lie down on his sofa, and relax, in the soft glow of his Christmas tree lights. His wife and daughter had gone to bed, he was alone in the living room, relaxing on the sofa, watching television, he drifted off to sleep. Then he found himself waking up around 3 am, he felt like someone was looking at him, he thought he would awaken to his daughter standing over him. Instead he woke up to his surprise to "David" standing at the end of the sofa, looking at him. He said that at first he just blinked and rubbed his eyes thinking that he was still asleep, when he opened his eyes and looked again "David" was still there.

Will told me that "David" looked as "real" as you or I. He was wearing a red and black flannel shirt and blue jeans, which were his favorite clothes and what he had been buried in. Will knew that because as he explained he had "seen him lying in his casket at the funeral home."

They looked at each other for a moment, when "David" spoke to Will, he said "Will, I want to thank you for looking after Janie." Will said that he didn't know what to say, but, "Alright". Then he said that "David" just faded away, and he was alone in his living room.

After sharing his story with me, Will asked me what I thought about it. I told him that I believed that "David" really appreciated all he had been doing to look after Janie, and wanted him to know it. I asked him if "David" had ever come back to speak with him again. He said "No", that was the one and only time.

Will has shared a couple of other stories with me over the years, partly due to the fact that I have told him that I think that my father's presence comes to visit us in our store, which was his store, and the place that he passed away about 20 years ago. This is likely why Will felt he could share his tale with me, I in turn have shared his tale with you.

The moral of the story is that good deeds are appreciated, not only by those that are receiving them in the present, but, also, by their loved ones on the other side.

Try to keep the spirit of the true meaning of Christmas year round, the gift of caring is the best gift of all.

Thank you for reading "Will's Christmas Visitor"!

Grandma's Backyard and House

I was age 14 living in Simi Valley California, playing basketball at 10pm at my Grandma's backyard with my friend Amir. It was dark and only one light on. It was just one hoop set up in the backyard. I was going up for a shot and saw a spinning head on the wall. Moving up and down the wall all demonic and scary looking. It had snakes coming down its head with scary looking teeth with a green/grey look to it. A scary expression on its face while it rotated. I about had a heart attack and was scared. My friend got a small glimpse of it also. We left real quick in total shock. I never believed any paranormal stuff before seeing that.

The second experience I had at grandma's house was not till 12 years later. My grandpa had died. One month past his death my dad and I are painting a wall inside the house in the kitchen. It is a 4 bedroom house with a pool. A rather nice house. My grandma was gone so my dad and I start to paint. I tapped on the wall to look for a beam. It was a divider wall so the kitchen was on the other side and you could look around it. Anyways I Knocked on it and the wall knocked back. My dad and I were not even touching the wall. So I did it two more times and it knocked back the same. I was super scared at that point. So I knock more and it knocks back. I feel like it was my grandpa knocking, who was dead. I never like going in my grandma's house alone anymore. Two events are enough. Scary stuff!

The People Who Haunt Me

Our entire family lives in a town in America. Pretty normal right? Not!

Before we owned this house my moms grandma and her husband lived here before they died. My grandfather died in the living room. What used to be his room. Deep in the middle of the night when i wake up i see blue streaks of light from my window and fog steaming up on my windows. My grandmother died here too. One time as a child me and my friend were exploring our basement and discovered the back of a picture frame full of nails and dried blood. He said my grandmother might have committed suicide on herself. Or worse. My grandfather killed her.

She haunts us because every time I go to the basement I here a low wail as though a train is whistling even though we don't leave near a train station.

We have a lot of paranormal activity in our house because we live near a graveyard. Like once when I was a small little baby i saw a transparent little girl wearing a white gown with daisies in her silvery blonde hair singing an eerie song that made me sleep almost at once.

Another time outside on our lawn a transparent boy was playing an Irish jig on his violin and all through the night the Irish jig plays on and on...

The Belvidere House

It was early February when we moved into the Belvidere house. All at once I felt a bad feeling from it. The first night I slept with my covers over my head, cowering and praying to the goddesses that the spirits would not hurt me. A lucky night, I was not harmed, but evil was to come.

A couple months later, at night, I was falling asleep when I heard Scratching coming from my door. I screamed like I was dying and dad came rushing into my room. "What's wrong, are you hurt?" He asked fearfully. "N-no, The door" I stammered, pointing to where the scratching was coming from.

Happenings in My Room

Hi, I was just going to tell you a couple of experiences I've had in my room before.

My room's been decorated and changed to make it a bit more grown up for me as I'm now 12.

Well, nothing's happened ever since then but before, my light used to sometimes Flicker, I Didn't get scared because I got used to it.

Also, I was painting my Nails and after I Finished painting them, I lined them up on 1 of my shelves, I Went down-stairs and came back up a bit later and they were back up in my make-up bag where they were before!

My last experience in my room is, I have an airing cupboard and 1 Night, i was in bed and my mum went to kiss me goodnight.

Well, on the airing cup-board, there was a towel on there and my mum said: "That's odd! I Never put that towel there!''. I Asked my dad and he said he didn't and My brother's couldn't of done it as they never step foot in my room and they never went in their.

I'm not scared of these happenings as my house is so haunted. It's 100 years old and Victorian and as far as we know, 2 people have died in our house and 1 Night, I Heard conversations outside in the hall and I heard people on the stairs and going into my bath-room but I Asked my mum and Dad if it was them and they both said no. It went on for a while and my mum said she and my dad have heard conversations outside in the hall-way and down-stairs too..

Thanks for reading by the way

My Daughter Sees Spirits

My 20 year old daughter sees spirits, ghosts, and is positive there is a demon in our apartment. We need help badly to rid us of this entity. The spirits don't show themselves to me.

She describes the spirits as misty lights and we have balls of light in many of our photos. The demon is attracted to my daughter. She said it woke her up by pushing on her bed and hissing in her ear.

Some of the spirits, we think, are asking her to take them to the light or to cross over. She seems to draw ghosts, spirits to her. Do you investigate hauntings? What do you suggest she do? She hates this whatever you call it, ESP? Too much of what she's dreamed has come true, so I truly believe her when she says she sees what she sees.

What are your thoughts on this? I feel the demon is draining her. She's sick, tired, weak, and is frustrated on how to rid herself of this. The spirits don't bother her at all. She accepts them. The demon needs to leave as soon as possible. Please let me know what to do.

Thank you, Sharry Bennington

The Bug Man

When I was really young apparently there was a shadow that came in to my room and I would scream and yell, the bug man, mom help me the bug man is going to get me.

I was the only one that he came to. Every morning my mom would wake up and have to shut all of the cupboard doors because they were always open because of him. My brother was lying in bed one night and saw a shadow move in to my room then I started screaming. I don't know because this is what my parents said.

And one night when my mom was sleeping and my dad was away at work for the weekend she felt someone crawl into bed next to her and when she looked there was nothing there. I don't know my I'm definitely scared

A Gift And a Friend

When I was a little, my dad told me about how when I was a baby, I had a visitor. He said that when I cried at night (which was almost never) either my mom or dad would get up to see if I was ok, but when they were almost to my room, I would stop crying. At first they just shrugged it off, saying it was nothing. But one night my dad had gotten curious as to why I would stop crying. So he had walked into my room, only too almost have a heartattack. There, next to my crib, was a man. He wore a blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up, tennis shoes and jeans. He had shaggy brown hair down to his chin and he was a little transparant.

He was sweetly smiling at me and I gave him the same happy grin. The man had looked at my dad then backed up. My dad slowly made his way to the crib and picked me up.

"Don't worry about her,Darryl. She's gonna be ok.Joseph is watching her." The guy had told my dad and my dad ran to my parents room. He called 911,but they couldn't find him. Ever since then I could see ghosts, even Joseph. He would always give me a sweet smile and tell me things like life shouldn't be taken for granet. I always feel safe knoiwing he's around.

Spirit Under My Bed

I was about 10 years old when this happened, but can remember it like it was yesterday.

I had recently just moved out of the room I shared with my younger sister into my own room. I was so excited and felt so grown up. We also slept with our doors open at night, as my mum's, sister's and my rooms almost all faced it each other and my mum preferred it that way.

One night as I was woken up. Not by a noise or anything, but I woke for no reason. Then I felt this thing push up against by back, as if someone was lying underneath my bed with an invisible rod, pushing it slowly upwards into my back then slowly releasing it. I was absolutely terrified but couldn't move a muscle and couldn't scream. Then a saw a dull white figure exit my room, but before it did, it smiled at me and left.

I told my mum what happened the next day, but she just said that it was probably the cat, as he used to sleep under our beds at night, though I'm not sure she totally convinced herself, as she and my dad lived in a haunted house early in their marriage. But it couldn't have been. To feel what I felt through a bed mattress and everything. I still don't know what it was, and haven't really had any vivid experiences like that since.

Let me know your thoughts!
