Haunted for Life?

As long I can remember, strange things have been happening. Mostly since puberty. It all started when I was eight or nine.

I woke up one morning to my blanket, which I kicked off the night before floating. I watched it go down slowly then covered my head in fear. I saw a twenty year old red head next to my bed, but wasn't scared.

It only got worse when I hit puberty. Strange markings started showing on my arm (they looked Latin or Greek). My fears only intensified when I saw a man in grey smoke. He was nothing more than a shadow with red eyes. After high school it seemed to subside. Then came my mothers new apartment.

I entered wiccan, which is my greatest regret. It started up again. I saw shadows, got held down and almost raped by a ghost (I could hear its voice), and almost attacked twice. The worse thing though was the guy from the 1940s. He has shown up three times in my life since then. The third time he felt harmless and loving. The other two he scared me horribly.

When I was eighteen I moved from my mothers and it stopped for a little while. Than I started hearing crazy whispers, preventing me from sleeping. The basement freaked me out as I thought someone was watching me and I saw shadows. When I moved back with my mom in her new apartment I was relieved. Nothing happened for months. Then I started talking to Jacob online. It seemed to react. I got held down once again. The shadows came back. That's when he told his house was haunted.

I realized the internet had something to do with some stuff not all of it. Some of it was my old demons. I started seeing things in my computer and I heard someone talking to me on the my cellphone when I was talking to Jacob. I finally moved on my own and now is twenty-one years old. It still haunts me. I see so many shadows its not funny. They are like outlines of humans. Before I saw no features on these shadows.

Something holds me down every now and then and at one point tried to choke me. It never ends. I've gotten so used to these events I'm actually getting bored of them. When it said my name I ignore it as before I looked. The only thing that really scared me was an event that happened right after I talked to Jacob. I've been feeling confused about my feelings towards for awhile. I hated him and love him(I still do). That's when i heard a familiar male voice saying " forget about him.". I got so scared I went to the lobby. What's going on? Why me? Why now? What did I do to deserve being haunted?

The Christmas Horror

I was just 13 at the time, and it was around Christmas. My mother and I were decorating our Christmas tree. We plugged in our radio to play Christmas music. The day was cheery, and fun filled day. My sister came down the stairs screaming with tears rolling down her cheeks. "It touched me! It touched me!" she shouted. My mom's eyes lit up in shock. "What touched you?"

"The Dark Shadow!" my sister yelped.

Since my sister was so terrified, I decided to snoop around up stairs to see this 'Dark Shadow.'When I reached the steps I had a dull feeling. The steps creaked from underneath me. A little robot from my sisters McDonalds meal was roaming around up stairs going in a circle. I picked the toy up from the carpet, then something pushed me. I felt scared, so I picked myself off the ground and ran downstairs. "MOM! There is something up there!" I shouted. "You're kidding Jacey!" my mother replied. "I'm going up there, stay here." My sister and I huddled close on the couch, I mean I was 13 I didn't know what to do. I covered my sisters head, hoping she wouldn't here my mothers screams. "Stay here! If you come up stairs you could be in danger!" I told my sister. I rushed up the stairs to find my mother laying in the hallway with red marks all over her arms, legs, stomach, and even her face. I began to cry, then shouted , "MOM! we are leaving. let's go!!" My mom could hardly stand, but she managed to get us out of the evil house, and to my grandmother's apartment a few blocks down. I pounded on the door, shouting and crying, until my grandfather answered. "Come in!

What happened?"

"Ghosts!"

"No, shadows."

When my mother got cleaned up, we settled in the guest room for the night. I could barely sleep. The next morning we went to the library and searched up history on the house. Comes to find out, a man in his mid 30's passed away the night before Christmas eve. Ever since, every family that get's involved with Christmas in the Jerome House get's tormented.

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

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

My House and Things that Still Happen

I moved into my house nine years ago but as soon as my nan died when I was five years old, strange things started to happen like I would have dreams about when happened to people that died and it still happens now like if I'm in the house on my own I would hear things walking around upstairs and hear voices calling my name.

When me and my mate were in the house on our own she could hear someone calling her name and saying she seen something and felt something cold on her arm and we both felt someone breathing on our backs. Its the strangest thing ever and she took a video of me dancing and she caught something on camera.

Shadow Person in the Graveyard

I always "feel" things almost like an empath but I'm not always right. I "sense" spirits and things but never saw one.

One night two of my girlfriends and I were driving around bored wondering what to do. I live by a graveyard and I suggested it would be a thrill and chill to walk through it. As we parked and started walking to the entrance I explained to them if I told them we need to get out no questions asked just leave, they knew of my "gift" so they understood.

We stepped no more then five feet in when I saw a shadow in the form of a person dart from one headstone to five headstones over in lightning fast movement. I said "get out" and we all turned and left. After being safe in the car I told them what I saw. I was all sorts of excited because I never actually saw anything just felt.

Shadow Man With a Red Face

I was asleep on my couch the TV was on and it was approximately 10 - 12:00 PM. I was about to get up and turn off the TV when I saw a black figure a man with a red face standing by the couch. I could hear its inhaling and exhaling.

I fell asleep an hour later after cowering in fear under the covers, but when I woke up the TV was off and I was alone. I looked up and the figure was closer. I screamed but nothing but air came out, so I hid for hours, but this feeling of exhaustion over powered me forcing me to sleep. At 6:00 AM I woke and the figure was still there but farther away and the TV was back on. I heard my mom come down the stairs, and the figure was gone. Since them I've always felt a presence in my home.

Dark Shadow on Web Cam

It was almost six in the evening when me and my husband just started to chat... he's working abroad so it is our everyday routine to chat 'til we go to sleep, that time... I just opened my cam and was waiting for him to accept it as he was busy preparing his meal, I was viewing my own cam. I saw something in front of my viewed image... it was a shadow, something like a huge flying object. I thought I was seeing a shadow of a big butterfly... but why on cam? I asked myself. I don't see anything flying around me though... then the shadow went at my back... it seems like something dropped a bit far from my behind. I turned my back, but nothing was there... then looking at my own image on the monitor there again the dark shadow at my back forming like human, I was shocked, but I managed to ask him "who are you?"

Still looking at my monitor cam the image seems coming forward then I turned my back as I felt my hair standing. I got up from my seat then the black shadow suddenly disappeared. I looked at the monitor. My husband just accepted my invitation to view my cam. I asked him if he saw it... asking me back... "saw what?" then I told him about it, he told me to  pray. I knew it wasn't something from the computer as it was my first time experience after having been chatting for about a year now, and I got so scared that I moved my computer out of our room to our living room.

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.

Haunted by a Dark Figure

For as long as I can remember, I have had 'ghostly' encounters. They range from doors slamming, to objects levitating, to black shadows in my closet.

One particularly eerie experience happened one evening in the summer of 1999. I was 9 1/2 at this point and since it doesn't get dark until around 9 pm in the summer time, I was still outside playing with friends. My mother is a religious woman and had several of her friends over for a Bible Study, which was why I was hanging out with these particular friends.

The two girls, Kara, 13 and Samantha, 12, as well as my sister, Ayla, then 11, decided that we should all take a walk around the block; and I agreed. It was starting to get pretty dark (about 9:15 by this time), but we all stuck together, and since it was a trailer park it had a fence around the community, and street lamps at either end of the street, so we felt pretty safe. We started up the street, all giggling and chattering.

Somehow, when we were about half way to the end of the street, we all managed to glance up and see a tall, thin, dark figure step out from behind a trailer at the top of the street. It moved further into the light of the street lamp, far enough into it that we could see that it had no features. Just a straight up and down, head, arms and legs figure. Kind of like the 'pedestrian crossing' signs. We all just stopped and stared in disbelief, as it slowly, in extremely slow motion, ran into the light of the street lamp and moved across the street and out of our view beyond the first trailer, and, within 5 seconds, it returned, in identical manner, and disappeared back the way it came. We all freaked out, as if we had just realized what we saw and fled back toward my trailer.

We convinced Kara and Sam's mom to join us back up the street to investigate, but there were no other such sightings. I still don't know WHAT I saw. My sister gets touchy when this incident gets brought back up, nearly a decade later, but I am still curious as to what exactly we witnessed.

Shadow Man In The Bathroom

It was about 4:56 in the morning when I had to go to the bathroom. I froze when I saw a shadow walk to the bathroom. At first I thought it was my dad but when I knocked on the door it opened and there was nobody there! I got really scared. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I don't know how I managed to turn, but when I did it disappeared. ever since I'm to afraid to out to the bathroom.
