On April, 2009,in Adel, IA, something strange happened. I was playing flashlight tag with my friends at about 11:00 at night. I hid in the lilac bushes next to the fence. I can hardly see anything because it's pitch black. I heard a laugh right next to me so of course I look. This white, thing, was right there. It wasn't any of my friends. It didn't even look human! When it saw me it's face turned into the ugliest, most terrifying face you can imagine. An indescribable face. I was too shocked to do anything. Then it got right op in my face with it's twisted one, and it made this hissing kind of noise. It was very high pitched, like a scream only louder. I know no one can go that high. Then it disappeared into thin air. Of course my friends heard the noise and came and found me.
I was taken to a mental appointment but the doctors found nothing wrong with me. I only saw it once after that but it's face was normal. Then it snickered and disappeared. You have no idea how wet my pants were that night. My friends do believe me!

Old Fashioned Ghost
My family and I had to move to a new area of town, sadly, this area was known for its history. Its the oldest part of my city and I always thought it was mere stories. That changed. It had been the night before I started fourth grade. I couldn't sleep as most cant, and I looked into the hallway, a woman reached the end and peered into my mothers room, before she could turn my way I shut my eyes. When I finally had the courage to open them, there was nothing there.
Nothing happened for a while, until the end of my 6th grade year. I had been reading a book and I turned around, and she was in the room. She was doing somewhat of a ball dance, though I knew it wasn't. She was dressed as they were in the early years of the 1900's. She didn't seem to notice me, but as she twirled my way she stopped. She stared somewhat at me. I never forgot her face. It was delicate, and her features were soft, after a minute, she dropped her jaw and screamed in a whisper, then vanished. Ever since seeing her the last time, I've had experiences with the paranormal. From voices to hallucinations, It all started with her. I write this because I'm now 17 years old, and I live in a new neighborhood. Yet, as I was turning into the kitchen, I saw her enter my sisters room. The same woman from years before.
I'm now doing research on my family history and even the house itself. I have a feeling she's never going to go, and I have to accept that. This house has scared my friends away in high school. One claims to have seen the ghost of a young girl, another music played, another said she felt something pull her hair, and nothing was there. Is it possible that it is I who is haunted? I'll have to continue to search for my answers.

My Friends Old House
My Mother once told me a story about what strange things that happened at my friends house. My mother and I highly believe in the paranormal and I have found myself almost obsessed with ghosts and the paranormal. Anyway when I was really little my mother was babysitting My friend who was about 2 - 4 at that time. She was sitting in the living room and there's a door that leads to the hallway where the stairs are. While my mother was sitting there she heard footsteps coming from the Stairs.
My friend had a habit of escaping his crib so my mother just thought he got out of his crib. She opened the door to the stairs but to her surprise there was nothing there. My mother walked upstairs to my friends bedroom and there he sat staring at the wall. My mom asks why he's staring at the wall and he said there is a lady there.
There is a gravestone built into the house that my friend and his two little brothers discovered many years later. There is a name on it but it is very faded they thought it says Eric and some numbers we can't make out. I think that the name is actually Erica which might be the women my friend saw. Every time I go there I feel a presence I know something is there and it scares me yet I want to know more about Erica or whatever else is there. I love the paranormal even though it scares me sometimes.

The Black Ghost At The Old Folks House
I was about 10 Years old when I was playing nedball at school. I was allowed to play until 18:00 and walked home that day. Our house was just a block away and a half away and was it about 5 minutes walk at the most.
I knew the houses in my street and the type of people living there - each house if it was young children and their parents or old folks in their 60s and 70s so I was comfortable with my surroundings. The was a house in our street that I knew only old people live. No children or guests of which I can remember.
That evening at about 17:55 I walked passed that specific house, and I was in a wonderworld but I heard a small gate slam shut (it was next to the house). I then looked to my right and saw something upsetting and evil. In only seconds the thing was about 3-4 meters away from me. I was shocked and in a state and couldn't move - as I was in shock I warily looked at this thing. It was like a black figure but not just a black mass. It almost seemed that someone dressed up to scare small children.. But what I specifically can remember was a sort of floating movement rather than a walk and it was coming towards me. It had a stick in its one hand and like limbs or something in the other - it was very scary and I remember it looking like a floating black cloak - I couldn't see a face - I don't think there was a face.
When I realized that this is evil, I realized I must RUN!! Then I screamed like mad and run of, looking behind me and the THING WAS GONE.
I am not sure what to think of it, does someone know? I have never had a negative experience again and I still don't know what happened that day.

Bald Translucent Ghost
I was 11 when this happened. I was walking down my hall when I felt a cold breeze. It was midnight (or something close to that) and the air conditioning was not on. I looked around and no windows were open. I shrugged it off and went in my room. But before I turned the light on, a translucent (almost transparent) bald man was in the corner of my room. At first, I thought what the **** are you doing here? I turned the light on and he vanished. Now I was freaked out. No bald man was living here.
I went in bed and went to sleep. But not for long. I woke up to the chill that I experienced before. I looked down where the bald man was and he was not there. Then I looked at the foot of the bed and saw the bald man staring at me. I wanted to sleep on the couch but I would have to go near the baldy. Suddenly, he vanished again.
I took this opportunity to make a mad dash across the hall and got to the couch. I could not sleep at all. At 6:20 I decided to go back while it was light out now. I made my way to my room and when I looked around he was no where in sight.
(move ahead 1 year) It was around midnight and I climbed in bed. I remembered What happened the year before. Could he still be there? I wondered. I looked around and felt the breeze again.

Ghost Lady In the Kitchen
I was 10 when this happened. I always knew my house was haunted by a male ghost that was murdered when he was young, but I never knew there was a feminine presence.
I was hungry at 10:00 one night so, I went upstairs to get some water. I turned on the cabinet light and a figure showed, so I turned it back off and looked closer. It was a woman in a dress dated from the 1700's.
I came back the next night. She was there again. I soon became accustomed to her being there and began to think nothing of her.
One night though a few weeks after, I woke up in a cold sweat. I felt very sad and scared. I went to go tell my parents but, when I passed the kitchen the lady (who me and my siblings named Margaret) was crying blood. She had half of her face beaten in. My face felt hurt at that moment. I was scared so I never told a soul outside my siblings.

Footsteps At Grandma And Grandpas House
One day, I was 10 years old is was like 2006, I was sleeping at my grandma and grandpa's house in Wisconsin. I was sleeping in their living room at about 2:00 or 4:00 am. I heard footsteps in her upstairs at their house. No one was up at the time. I have one to explain, it was probably creaking noises because the house was built in 1885. But I don't think so. I was so freaked out I peed my pants.
My Grandma and Grandpa don't believe me. The just say "Haylee this is just a figment of your imagination" or "Haylee I Lived in this house since 1970 or 1971 I did not see any thing or hear anything ever in the house." But trust me I seriously heard something upstairs. I did not go to investigate because I was so freaked out.
I told my Grandma when she got up and she said "Haylee you have to get this stuff out of your big head" and said "You have a really big imagination". Sometimes I refuse to sleep upstairs now.
