Message From an Angel
By:mkardons@optonline.net
Hello,I am just
10 years old but I have a very interesting story to tell. First of all, I have
to say that all these stories are very eerie.Now on with the story....
My Grandma lives
in
First off, I
just want to tell you that this "encounter" happened a couple of days
after my uncle's death.
One day she was
shopping at a store.[don't know which one, sorry]She came out of the store and
went to her car. To her surprise, there was an elderly lady standing by the
car. My grams approached this woman. The woman asked if she can have a ride to
the church. My grams would have normally said no but to her surprise she said
yes. So the lady got into the car along with my grams.
They were riding
in the car and the lady kept on saying "you have to have trust in
god"over and over again. Then all of a sudden the lady said she will get
off. So my grams said"you sure"because the church was still a ways
down the road. The lady smiled and said"of course". So my grams
pulled over.
The lady got out
of the car. My grams said bye. My grams went to put the car in drive and when
she looked up the lady was gone. There was no where she could have possibly gone.
My grams got out to see if the lady was hurt and on the ground. She was no
where.

I am sending
some more of my experiences and those of family members, etc.
1. On Easter
Sunday in 1997
2.November
2000--My Husband and I were in our home when he looked at me and said,
"What on earth is that?" I looked at him blankly because, I had heard
nothing. He said it sounded like a pie tin hitting all around the outside of
the house. He went to look and found nothing. When he came back inside, he saw
a white figure pass by the hall doorway. I saw nothing.
3.
4.In 2000,
Summer--I heard my Father-in-law knock on our door. I jumped to answer the door
and no one was there. I know his knock and was sure it was him. Well, when I
turned away from the door, I heard the knock again. I ran to tell my
Husband...who hadn't hear anything.
5.
6.On
7.April of
1998--While in my in-law's house with my Husband, we were the only two there at
the time. I was walking downstairs to go to the kitchen where my Husband was
making an Easter cake. Well, I heard footsteps follow me down those stairs and
nothing was behind me.
8.
9.In 1973 or
74--My Grandfather had to go to the hospital because his Mother had had a
stroke. When he got to the floor, he saw her standing beside her doorway and
she looked at him then vanished. She passed away later.
10.Saturday
October 16th--I awoke with a feeling of dread and sensed that something bad was
going to take place that very day. I thought of someone bringing a shot gun to
my workplace. At
ors there and it
sounded like shotguns going off. hankfully, no one was hurt.

PEACHYSWEET2ME@aol.com
my parents
bought this home when I was 6 months old.I am know 31.But the things that went
on in that house when I was growing up are still fresh in my mind.My older
sister and brother were always telling my parents that things were happening to
them, like they would see shadows move in the house. My father said that they
were craze and it was just there
imagination.But he was wrong.I can remember that my father let a man stay at
our home till he got on his feet. The man stayed one night.He slept down
staires in the basment.The next morning he came up staires and wascareing his
belongings with him my father asked him what was the matter and he told my mom
and dad that he did not sleep all night that something laiyed down in the bed
with him he had seen the bed go right down were it had layed.he never stayed
with use again.There were times when the water would come on down staires in
the bathroom.Doors would open and close.As I got older it would mess with me.I
was sitting down staires watching the t.v. and a white mist came through the
sliding glass door at me I would not go back down staires for about a year.But
when I would it was like something was behind me on the staires.There were
times in the middle of the night that my bed would shake. I would tell my mom
about it but my dad did not believe use.Till it scared him half to death one
night.We had chimes that hung in the opening going in to the living room
upstaires and we had two pareketts that hung in the corner of the dinning
room.My father was sitting at the kitchen table drinking his coffee when the
bird started going nuts it was about 3 in the morning,Then something growled at
him from under the cage. That is when he started to believe us.And my dad is
really hard to scare.At times you could hear the wood stove open and it sounded
like someone putting wood in it.When you went and looked there was fresh wood
in the stove.I got to were I was scared to go to bed at nights.But things
happend in the day time to.I would hear someone calling my name when there was
no one home but me.See shadows walking down the hall and would go down
staires.Something tried to smother my mom in the night,she could not move to wake
my dad in the bed .But one night we were all playing around with a ouija board
and it told use that 3 ghost lived in the house, william, jake and nathen. two
were brothers and the other was a cousine. They said they were buried under the
house. They told use there last names were moore.My mom looked it up and it is
true an old farm house used to be were there house is today.The little kids
that moved in next door used to walk through the back yard all the time to go
down the street. Then they started going all the way around the house I asked
them why they did not go through the back yard anymore and they said that they
had seen something standing in the window with red eyes waving at them. The old
farm house that used to be there burnied down and my dad had our house built on
the foundation.Still today that house will scare you to death my parents still
own the home my brother and his family live in it know.

Hi there guys at
ShadowLands. Great website with lots of cool facts.
The story I am
going to tell you happened to my grandparents who were in the
car with my mum
and her brother. They were in
leaving this big
Diwali party held in
night and get back
to
they came past a
really old lady. My grandad felt sorry for her and offered
her a lift. She
was going to a village about 8 miles away so they told her
to get in the
car. She got in and they carried on driving. After the usual
hellos and small
talk, they fell silent. My grandmother turned around to see
if she was ok
and she wasn't there. They stopped on the roadside and a few
minutes later a
police convoy stopped. They related the story and the police
seemed to know
what they were talking about. The legend goes that the lady
is looking for
kindness and she seeks it in many forms. If they are kind to
her, then she
will bestowe good luck on the givers. That didn't really
happen as 5
miles from
hurt.
My mum was about
7 and my uncle 12 and her remembers it vividly as she sat
next to him. He
hadn't noticed she was gone. All he remembers was her
getting in and
then he fell asleep until they car stopped at the side of the
road.
Also, on the
road from
that if you
don't stop and enter the mosque you will have a bad accident.
All the stories
that I have heard, seem to prove the theory. Trains also
slow down and
whistle.
I have also got
an English based story that occured on halloween but I am
still trying to
get rid of the grainyness in the pictures and trying analyse
the video I took
to see if I caught anything cos when the event occured, I
was running.
A Few Personal
Encounters
By:
dragonseye172003@yahoo.com
I have read
almost everything on your ghost site. LOL and that's a lot of things. I would
just like to add a few personal encounters other than the one I had at LA Tech.
The first encounter I had with a ghost took place in my old house in
A Ghastly
Experience
By:
funky_muffin69@hotmail.com
The following is
a story that happened to me on halloween of this year. I
live in south
central Nebraska, near Gilberts Grave (located on haunted
places
index.) Well, the friday before
halloween I had heard of several
stories of
classmates of mine about this 'haunted place'.
Mind you I've
always been a
little bit of a skeptic, I thought it sounded like fun, so I
grabbed 2
friends (Kiley and Doug) and we went out there.
Well, it's in the
middle of the
country, and kind of hard to find, so we had to have several
young boys from
Friend, Nebraska assist us in finding it.
We got out there,
and Doug pulled
in the little driveway, keeping his lights on, and Kiley and
I headed into
the graveyard. The light illuminated a
lot of it, but it was
still pretty
creepy. About half way up the driveway
area, we heard this
laughter, from
what sounded like a child. Kiley and I
just looked at each
other and were
totally freaked out, but we kept on walking figuring it was
one of the
Friend kids playing a joke on us. So
after going through a
numerous amount
of shrubbery, trees, and weeds we FINALLY found GG. We
stood there for
a few moments, not sure what to expect, and decided that was
enough, cuz it
was starting to feel creepy, like the atmosphere was all
twacked
out. So we turn around and start back
out for the main driveway,
and started
walking back towards the car. I looked
up and stopped dead in
my tracks. Directly infront of Kiley and I was a figure
of a man walking
towards Dougs
Monte Carlo, like the outline of him, illuminated by the car
lights, and just
as the 'man' would've walked into the car, the car turned
off, lights and
all and wouldn't start up for about 30-40 minutes. It was
later we
realized that all the Friend guys that had shown us how to get
there, had left
as soon as we were situated..Thanks for reading! If you have
any questions
about this feel free to email me.
A Warning of
Death
By:
Wildcatgirl3355@aol.com
Hi, my name is
jamie i live in perry county, ky and i am now 16 years old and im writing to
you about an experience i had when i was about 9 years old around April of
1998. i was staying at my grandpa's house because we had went to visit my
grandma in the hostpital which was like 3 hours away. She had been in the
hostpital for months then because of repeated heart attacks i really dont
remeber the exact number but it was caused my alot of stress that came from two
jobs and still having to take care of her children even though they were
adults. Well anyway my brother, grandpa, uncle, aunt and me went to see her
just days before and had returned, she seemed in good condition because i had
talked to her. Well days later my brother and me was laying in my grandpa and
grandma's bed asleep when i awoke, it was real early in the morning but was
still dark outside. My grandpa had been asleep in the den in the next room. I
was about to go back to sleep when something in the corner of the room caught
my attention. It was a small white figure with somewhat of large red eyes. The
figure just stood there looking down shaking its head and looked like it was
very sad. Scared to death i went back to sleep and my brother and me had went
home the next day and i never mention what i had saw. Well that night my
mom,brother, and me went to my step aunts house to visit, when we were about to
leave my step aunt ran outside to catch us before we left and told us my
grandpa just called and my grandma had died that morning. I have always
believed in ghost and to this day i still think that the white figure that
looked sad was a warning of my grandma's death. Thank you for reading...
Barclay Mountain
and Sayman Rd.
By:
heeman123@epix.net
Just wanted to
say thanks to your site for giving us ideas on how to
spend halloween
eve and to let you know what our experiences were. We
first went to
Barclay Mtn Cemetary... we experienced nothing in
particular.
There were 6 of us and when we go to the site itself there
were another
handful of people. My boyfriend and I both agree there's
some bad vibes
resonating from that area but I think because of there
being so much
human activity it effected anything paranormal that we may
have
experienced. We plan to go back just the two of us on a normal day
when it
shouldn't be such a popular spot.
other story. The
6 of us went there not figuring to experience much and
somewhat let down
by Barclay Mtn. When we got a little ways down the
road to where
it's more wooded I got physically sick to my stomach,
queezy. W/in the
next 60 seconds something kind of foglike passed in
front of the
truck. This happened 3 more times while on this rd. There
were numerous
occasions in which we saw something that looked like a
small dark
figure in the rd but when we'd get close to it, it would be
gone. We WILL go
back there, that was an awesome experience. I'm doing
some research
for myself to find out the history of that road/ area. We
did NOT see
anything hanging from trees as we expected, but we weren't
let down by the
experience. I also want to note that your site lists the
road as being in
Dushore when even though it leads outside of Dushore
the easier
access to the road is from RT 220 in New Albany. There's some
great old farm
houses on that road that add to the eerie feeling.
I'll end by
saying your site is great, we thoroughly enjoy it. Keep up
the great work.
Cemetery Visit
By: Anonymous
HI me and my
friend mike were in pine grove cemetary in lynn at about 2 am. (we were seeing
if what we heard in stories was true) well someone had told us that if you sit
on a bench anywhere in the cemetary and just listen and dont more or make a sound
you will be able to hear what is assumed to be whispering and you will be able
to see white shadows ducking in and out between grave stones. well we thought
we would take a trip there one night to see if it was true. we sat at a bench
(not really sure where) and did exactly what we were told to do. about 20 or 25
minutes passed by and we were starting to think that it was all a joke. we
waited about another 5 minutes and we found out that it wasn't. we heard not
only whispering but something that sounded like heaby dripping water. we knew
that it wasnt water though because it just started and it hadn't rrain nor was
it raining. then we also saw exactley what we were told we would see. what
looked like white shadows of people like figures running in between trees and
grave stones. we naturally got scared and started to run. we figured that the
sounds would stop and the shadows would stop because we were told to be quiet
but they didnt. they did stop as soon as we both had just barley stepped out of
the cemetary gates. we could almost feel
like there was some sort of precense around us untill we got out. i mean the
second our feet hit the outsides of the gates everything just stopped, just
like that.
Crystal Mountain
By:
dave938@webtv.net
I used to live up on Crystal Mountain. I got out of the hospital
when I had
surgery on my neck. I believe it was
like April. I had
planned on doing
some welding, so I was raking the pine needles away.
Now I am
standing with my back to the cabin. I
stopped to rest for a
second. I was looking down the road coming to our
cabin. On the left
side of the road
was a metal storage shed. To my left was
a post and
rail fence with
woven wire 3 feet up. All of a sudden it
got dead still
the road was
gone. The shed was gone, the fence the cabin.
Everything
was just
gone. I couldn't move. From my right out of the woods came a
Native
American. He wore buckskins, his hair
was loose, he had on
Moccasins. He was carrying a flintlock rifle. I could have reached out
and touched him
he was so close. He walked at a very
steady fast walk.
I watched him
until he was lost in the trees again, and everything was
back to normal.
But it was like I was back in time. Craziest feeling I ever had,
Every Word True
By: mg_ci@yahoo.com
Ive always been
a scary child, scared of everything but as far as ghost well I did not know to
much about it to be scared. When I was
about 8 yrs old my mother had sent us to mexico to stay with a auntie cuase she
was going though tough enconomical problems.
My grandmother, and brother shared a my cousins room, I have to explain
the way we slept it was my grandmother and brother at the headboard and me
since I was the oldest at the foot. One
night when after everyone was out for the night me still not asleep just laying
there I looked to the right side of me and saw a figure standing there it was a
fog like figure but with features I could tell what it was wearing he was in a
suit black suite with a hat I just steared at him then put the covers over my
head and started to kick my grandmother thinking my grandmother had wokened I
again looked and he was still there just looking at me then I again start
kicking my grandmother when grandma woke I started to point and when I looked
back it was gonne that quick. when I
told my family they said I was having a bad dream I was not conviced but I was
only 8 and left it at that even though my family and I would go to Mexico every
other ear till one year when I was like 17 yrs old acctually in the bus station
waiting to depart the family had accompanied us and we where sitting there
talking. I remined my auntie of that and
told her till this day I remember it clearly like it just happen and I know it
was not a dream. She then proceded to
tell me about her daughter my cousin who that room belongs to she told me
"remember when that happen to u and about 2 wks later we left the house
for like a wk I said "yes" she then told me cause the night before we
left all the girl cousins were sleeping over and we slept at the width of the
bed so we all fit and there was a piano at the end so we would not fall well my
cusin again whos room belongs to saw a woman dressed in white walking around
the bed circling us and it was impossible for a child to do that just how small
the room was and the way the bed was positioned so she got us out of there and
we did not go back till she had a priest bless the how put crusafix in every
room. did not tell us so we would not be
scared.
thats my story
sorry so long but every word true.
Experience
By:
lucy.lilley@knipping.com
I thought i
would introduce myself to you as a true believer in the supernatural i feel
obliged to share a coupl eof my experiences with you.
Last Wednesday i
was mopping a floor at the office where i work, this is normal as i do the
cleaning for the office as well as the accounts! Everyone had gone home for the
night, and the place was empty. Except however for the b*gger that slapped a
hand on my shoulder! I shot around with my heart in my mouth adn was convince
someone from the office would be standing there. There was nobody! The front
door, which is the only access to the place is a wooden door with reinforced
steel and cannot be opened and shut quietly! So it leads me to believe that
there was a prescence with me that day. Then i cam into work today and the lock
on my very heavy toilet door is also missing. Now there is only 5 people that
work here and neither one of them took the lock. Strange! also the same day
that i had the experience with the mopping i took my newphew to a drive through
McDonalds whereby i turned off the stereo to speak to the lady in the service
box. When i finished speaking to her my stereo started back up and the button
wash pushed in. I have to tell you that my newphew was extremely scared.
Anyway just
thought i would share!!
My Mom's Friends
Haunting
By:
Halie07@hotmail.com
I live in Texas
but my moms friend lives in Oklahoma, her haunting is not
in her house but
at her work. She works in a nursing home, I cant recall
the name right
now. Anyways, there is an elderly woman there named Dolly
May, she says
she sees children and sometimes they are on fire. One time
she was trying
to run from them and fell and broke her hip, she says they
still bother her
but she is trying to ignore them. Another thing is that
down a hall
called "Hall D" you get a strange feeling everytime you go down
there like your
being watched. Also down that hall there is a waiting room
and sometimes
you can feel people sitting there with you or you will see
things. In the
cafeteria its no better, still just a feeling your being
watched but this
time it is really strong and scary. Down one of the halls
is the morgue
and down that hall you see like shapes of people somtimes, we
dont know if it
is just our imagination or what but it scares the hell out
of us. The
reason I keep saying us or our is because me and my friend went
go visit my moms
friend last summer and we went to work with her one day.
She works the
night shift so it doesnt help none. In some of the peoples
rooms you feel a
really weird presence like someone is there with you. Me
and my friend
would not go into a room by ourselves. We were scared and it
was hard to fall
asleep,(we slept in the waiting room, nice huh?) There is
one room that we
did feel safe in and that was the room were they would
read people
their last rights. The only reason we felt safe in there is
because of the
crucifixes and the pictures of Jesus and a few Bibles. Well
thank you for
reading my story and feel free to email me anytime you want.
Thanks again.

Ghost Siting
By:
AndreaMa@mclaren.org
My sister lives
in a decent sized house in a small town.
She is married with two kids. Her
husband works third shift every other weekend and usually the weekend he works,
her two boys go to their fathers house for the weekend. My sister begs me to stay at her house on the
weekends, or at least come over and stay really late and lately I have. She is really paranoid when she is by
herself. She even has a huge king sized
bed so I generally sleep in there because it is the most comfortable bed in the
house and we don't disturb each other.
Over the weekend when I stayed over there, I woke up at about 6:00 a.m.
and had to blow my nose. I just stayed
in bed for a second and decided to get up. I took my pillow with me because I
was going to sleep on the couch because my brother-in-law comes come at about
7:00 a.m. When I got up, I could hear
the buzz of the computer in the living room (which is about 10 ft away from
where I was standing) and saw a man sitting at the desk. There was light from the computer screen and
this tall guy sitting there. I thought
for a second my brother in-law was home, but then I thought, right, why would
he be sitting there in the dark at the computer? Then I froze and I must have made a noise
because I couldn't move at all, i was so scared, I thought a man was in my
sisters house, like he broke in, but it was too weird. The man's head looked like it was kind of
glowing and orange. I didn't want to
look at his face to close, because I was scared. I was breathing heavy and trying to find the
light switch in the hallway. It felt
like I was standing there for a good minute or two because I didn't know what
to do, the man turned towards me really slowly and I found the light and turned
it on so fast...and no one was there. I
had that pins and needles feeling in my whole body. I went in the bathroom and went back to bed
and my sister was awake by then and she said "are you okay, I could hear
you breathing loud" and I just said I must have been half asleep, because
I thought that jesse was home and I thought I saw him". I was wide awake though and I didn't want her
to freak out, so she went back to sleep.
I stayed awake until my brother-in-law got home and then I fell back to
sleep. Needless to say, I was sleeping
on the floor in their room. I'm such a
big baby! Not really, but I haven't had
a good night sleep since then, because I can't stop thinking about it.
Ghost Train and
Me
By:
rudolf1@vip.hr
First, let me
start by saying that I was very skeptical
about ghosts,
until that day.
So, here is my
story:
This summer I
was shooting some photos
along abandoned
narrow-gauge railroad. I've found an ex-
station which is
about 102 years old and decided to
photograph
fragments of railroad which remain there. The
rain was
approaching, so I didn't pay too much attention
about sudden
gust of wind wich came just about when I
stepped between
old rails and took the picture of the
railroad looking
toward west.Later, when I got home, I
downloaded
photos from camera, and on one picture which I
took looking
toward west, there was a strange shape in the
bushes.First I
thought that this is some kind of error in
the picture,
caused by the leaves, and no matter how I
edited the
picture shape remained there.Couple of days
later I've found
a picture of DieselMotorUnit train (it was
called Silver
Arrow, it was painted silver with blue
stripes on front
and rear end) which operated on that line
from 1960 until
closure of the line 1979.It was then when I
saw similarities
between front side of train and shape in
the leaves, so I
pasted the front side of train in the
picture, and it
matched exactly with the shape in the
bushes.I was
suprised and in disbelief because of this, so
I took some more
photographs of the same station looking in
the same
direction,but none of the pictures had the shape
in the bush.
Ghostly Friends
By:
Kjrslusher@aol.com
Hi my name is
Jordan( I'm a girl) I am 13 years old and I have been experiencing the
paranormal now for about a year.And there are two stories that I am going to
share with you.
The first case
of my experiences was about a year ago and It was about 7:00 in the morning,
when I woke up to find a little boy standing in my doorway staring at me. We
stayed there for several seconds staring back and forth at each other. He
looked just as solid as me and you. I rubbed my eyes for a second only to find
that the little boy was gone when I opened them. Thinking it was only my
imagination I carried on out with the rest of my day. The next morning about
the same time I saw the same little boy in my room but this time he was
standing at the foot of my bed, I yelled "hey " but he just
disappeared in to thin air. that was the last I saw of him in sight guess you
would say but I did see him in my dreams the next night.He was chasing all my
friends around with scissors trying to
cut their heads off. Then that was until I told him that he was not welcomed in
my house again ever and is not allowed to try to hurt me, my family or my
friends again. I was relieved to never see him again.
thought hat was
the end but I was proven wrong..they weren't done with me yet. It was later on
in last year when I was minding my own business in my room painting my nails
leaning against my bed(I have a bunk bed so when friends come over)when I felt
it shakes. I paid no attention to and kept
on doing my own thing when it did it again. I looked up to see what it was and
I saw a little girl with big blue eyes and short blond hair staring down at me.
I looked away froze as a bored and yelled for my sister to come in . I asked
her if any one was on my bed and she said "no Jordan no ones on your
bed"and stated walking out.when the bed shook again I looked back up and
saw her again so I said" yes there is there's someone on my bed!" so
my sister came back in and looked . She looked back down at me and said "
Jordan there is no one on your bed"so I said " well then is there a
cat on my bed ?" and she said "no Jordan there is no cat there is no
person on your bed" then she left. I sat there for a few minutes frozen as
a bored not doing anything when my bed started
shaking rapidly. I didn't even look I ran out into the hall and stopped
in between my dad and my door were you can see the edge of my bed where the
little girl was sitting then I felt this overwhelming sense of sadness and me
just wanted to cry so bad but I couldn't so I fell to my knees and just stayed
there till I finally cry ed. My dad heard all the noise and came to see what
was up.He saw me there crying silently now so he picked me up to see what was
wrong.And all I could say was " the little girl is sad the little girl is
in my room the little..." and was exhausted. He made me go back into my
room and show him but once I stepped foot in my room I could feel and hear tons
and tons of spirits or the paranormal. Some were mad some were sad same were
laughing some were talking and then there were two speaking gibberish just
nonsense things. I started freaking out and tried to get out of my room but my
dad was in the way of the door and I couldn't get through so I started hitting
him to make him get out of my way but I fell and landed on the floor. so I just
stayed there crying when my dad knew that I wasn't joking now so he picked me
up but before he could get me out of my room everything stopped, all the voices
and all the emotions that I was felling just stopped. I was fine for the rest
of the night but we didn't speak of what just happened. I didn't sleep in my
room for a week either
I have had many
other recurrences too with the little girl. I have even had hour long
conversations with her too. So far I have learned that her name is Jessy (
short for Jessica)and that her favorite color is purple she used to have a pet
dog, she knows that she is dead but she doesn't know how or when she died and
she doesn't know why she shows up in my room all she says when I ask her that
question is simply answered with that " they send me hear" and when I
ask her who is they she says" they just they"
Jessy has never
tried to hurt and I fee that she is just a lost spirit looking for an friend
and has chosen me. she's even said so herself that she isn't going to leave me
for a long time and so far she's kept her word.
Glebe Ghost
By:
KrisW@looksharp.net.au
This story was
told to me by a friend who we shall for the sake of anonymity call Sue. Before
Sue was born, her parents rented an old townhouse in a suburb of Sydney called
Glebe. The area itself is one of the longest settled areas of Sydney and was
the home to mainly blue collar workers and their families. Sue’s parents had
Sue’s older brother with them who was around 1 at the time (still a baby). The
townhouse itself was a two story with the living areas on the lower level and
the bedrooms on the second level. The stairwell to access the upper level was
narrow and very poorly lit.
The story starts
just after they move into the house and decide to go out and visit friends one
night. Upon their return, they can smell gas very strongly and on entering the
kitchen realise that the gas has been turned on, on the stove. They asked the
obvious question but each stated that they had not had the oven on all day. As
most parents of a small child do, they had an intercom and could content
themselves with hearing their baby boy gurgle and squeal. On going to bed one
night, Sue’s mother woke to hear a child speaking through the intercom. With
today’s technology you could pass this off as the monitor being overly
sensitive and perhaps picking up children playing next door or the like. But in
the 60’s the technology was in its infancy and so she listened for some time.
What she heard scared the daylights out of her. The only child that it could
have been was their infant son and he was not even saying the most basic of
words at that point. What she heard was a one sided, intelligent conversation
between a child and a silent second. The child, however did have a name for the
other person and called him Mr Stinky. Sue’s mother reached breaking point and
woke up Sue’s father who heard the exact same thing. They both sprang out of
bed upon hearing the little on say, “I don’t like that. Stop it, it hurts”
followed by a scream. On entering the room, a pungent smell of body odour hit
the two, they checked on the little one who was sound asleep.
They again went
out for the night, preferring to spend time away from the house than inside it.
When they returned this time, the gas was turned on again. They turned off the
gas prior to going upstairs to bed. They both put the baby into his cot and
went into their bedroom. There, stuck in the middle of the mattress was a
carving knife. This cemented their decision to leave the house but not without
attempting to find out the source of the trouble. They approached the Land
Titles Office but without being the owners of the property they were unable to
find out any historical details of the property.
In order to move
and to secure another rental property, Sue’s father had to take a second job to
increase the family income. The only job available for his skill set was at
night. This didn’t please Sue’s mother at all but the lure of moving out of the
house seemed to quell her fears some. She sat at home with the intention of
waiting until her husband came home so that she could enjoy some sleep with the
knowledge that he was home. One night as she sat reading in bed, she heard the
front door open and close and footsteps coming up the stairs to the landing.
She called out her husband’s name, to no response. The footsteps reached the
landing but they were definitely not her husbands and she said their was a
normal step followed by a drag as if the person had a bad leg. The footsteps
stopped outside the bedroom door as the handle of the door began to go down.
Sue’s mother became hysterical and she started reciting the Lord’s Prayer. The
handle went back up and the footsteps went back the way they came and receded
down the stairs until the front door was slammed.
Sue’s mother
waited for the husband to come home and when he did she told him that she would
not be spending another night in the house and that they had to leave now. He
agreed with her but asked that they wait until the morning, she relented and
told her husband that she needed to use the toilet. He stated that he needed to
do the same but told her to go first, she said that she is fine and that he
could go. This went back and forth with the husband finally asking his wife why
she was so reluctant to go to the toilet. She explained that she passed the top
of thew stairs on the way to the toilet, she felt someone trying to push her
down. The husband told her that this is the reason he hated going to the
toilet.
The next morning
they moved out still not knowing the history of the house or its inhabitants.
As an addition
to this story, the house was leased to an elderly lady a couple of weeks after
their departure who passed away in short order. As it turns out, her son worked
in the same factory as Sue’s dad, who asked him how his mother had passed. The
son advised that she had fallen down the stairs. I apologise for the length.
Haunted Place
By:
sherman@madbbs.com
Just wanted to
send you a quick note on one of my experiences in a place mentioned on your
website. I live in northwestern
Pennsylvania and very close to this place.
We recently visited Tamarack Swamp which is also mentioned in another
place as Jaquins Pond. The road is now
closed off to the public but we accessed it by foot. When attempting to stop at the end of the
road our antilock brakes locked and would barely let us stop. As we walked through the road that goes right
though the swamp we heard no noises at all, much like you would think out in
the country such as birds and other animals.
Well as the legend has it you must stand on Georges bridge and call his name three times. Reluctantly I did just that. It was a calm, cool day. We stood there very quietly when all of a
sudden a strong cold breeze came through and left as quickly as it came. Needless to say we walked very quickly back
to our vehicle which oddly enough the abs light was off on the dashboard and we
left. Not sure if this was and
experience with George or not but we are defiantly open minded enough to think
so. We are looking forward to exploring
many places on your website. We love
your website and now have it bookmarked.
Thanks for your time.

About nine years
ago, I was staying with my cousin at her apartment in an old building in the
small downtown area of
My Childhood
Home
By:
dept-Q@isesurplus.com
My name is
Adrian , I live in San Benito,Tx. Im 24 years old and for 23 years I lived in
my families two story house,which by the way was built in 1929.
Now im living in
a different house with my wife. But for 23 years I saw many interested yet
frightening events going on in my home. Next door to my house was a flower shop
that my mother owned. And next door to the flower shop was a 88year olf funeral
home. In my house there were 5 bedrooms. 3 upstairs and 2 downstairs. I had
mine upstairs and mom and dad had theirs downstairs. The rest of my bro’s and
sis’s were gone already on to their lives. Well anyways what Im trying to say
is sometimes we’s be sitting there in the living room downstairs watching
television. We’d almost every night see white figures going up and down the
stairs. This was freaky. We got used to it after a couple of years. They never
did anything to us. All they ever did was appear. But this one time. My dad had
been spending nights in the flower shop due to the fact that people kept
throwing rocks at the windows there and breaking them. So he would stay there guarding the shop. One
night he felt a tug at one of his toes while he was laying on the floor. He
awoke and say a white midst at the end of his feet. Frightened he kicked his
feet as too shake the midst off. And the midst vanished. A couple of weeks
later he layed there asleep he felt as if some one was pushing on his chest
very hard. He awoke. The midst was all over him like a blanket he claimed.
Frightened by it he got up and the midst disappeared. He explained it as fog.
The neighbor claims to have seem a man in all black with a black hat and all
passing through the alley inbetween the funeral home and the flowershop. She
claims to see him very late at night and it seems as he is floating. She says she senses something very rare when
she sees him because no one would dress like that around here that late at
night.
Upstairs in my
room. Oh let me just tell you. Me and two of my friends come back from a
fishing trip at

my parents bought this home when I was 6
months old.I am know 31.But the things that went on in that house when I was
growing up are still fresh in my mind.My older sister and brother were always
telling my parents that things were happening to them, like they would see
shadows move in the house. My father said that they were craze and it was just there imagination.But he was
wrong.I can remember that my father let a man stay at our home till he got on
his feet. The man stayed one night.He slept down staires in the basment.The
next morning he came up staires and wascareing his belongings with him my
father asked him what was the matter and he told my mom and dad that he did not
sleep all night that something laiyed down in the bed with him he had seen the
bed go right down were it had layed.he never stayed with use again.There were
times when the water would come on down staires in the bathroom.Doors would
open and close.As I got older it would mess with me.I was sitting down staires
watching the t.v. and a white mist came through the sliding glass door at me I
would not go back down staires for about a year.But when I would it was like
something was behind me on the staires.There were times in the middle of the
night that my bed would shake. I would tell my mom about it but my dad did not
believe use.Till it scared him half to death one night.We had chimes that hung
in the opening going in to the living room upstaires and we had two pareketts
that hung in the corner of the dinning room.My father was sitting at the
kitchen table drinking his coffee when the bird started going nuts it was about
3 in the morning,Then something growled at him from under the cage. That is
when he started to believe us.And my dad is really hard to scare.At times you
could hear the wood stove open and it sounded like someone putting wood in
it.When you went and looked there was fresh wood in the stove.I got to were I
was scared to go to bed at nights.But things happend in the day time to.I would
hear someone calling my name when there was no one home but me.See shadows
walking down the hall and would go down staires.Something tried to smother my
mom in the night,she could not move to wake my dad in the bed .But one night we
were all playing around with a ouija board and it told use that 3 ghost lived
in the house, william, jake and nathen. two were brothers and the other was a
cousine. They said they were buried under the house. They told use there last
names were moore.My mom looked it up and it is true an old farm house used to
be were there house is today.The little kids that moved in next door used to
walk through the back yard all the time to go down the street. Then they
started going all the way around the house I asked them why they did not go
through the back yard anymore and they said that they had seen something
standing in the window with red eyes waving at them. The old farm house that
used to be there burnied down and my dad had our house built on the
foundation.Still today that house will scare you to death my parents still own
the home my brother and his family live in it know.
Sleep Paralysis
By:
cuss_like_a_sailor@hotmail.com
Hello. Let me introducte myself as Andrew. I am 20 years old and I would
like to first
point out that I live in a home that is inhabited by, who i
believe, is the
previous owner of the home...Randy. I
believe that Randy's
spirit is with
myself and my family as my father and I have both seen and
felt his
presence. He was a friend in life, he
was killed tradjically on
his motorcycle
on the same road that my friend lost his life on his
motorcycle
on...ironic isn't it, and we feel that he hangs around the house
because one of
his sons names was Andrew. Quite
odd. There are a good
number of
stories I could tell about Randy but I will simply not because
that's not what
this e-mail is about.
I tell you that
story to tell you this story. I suffer
from Sleep Paralysis
(SP). I have had this for quite some time now and I
wish it would go away.
There is a
buzzing sound that becomes so incredibly loud that it drowns out
everything else
around you. It starts out quietly but
soon grows in
intensity and as
the sound grows you begin to realize that you can not move.
It seems that at times I can control it by
realizing before the sound
becomes to loud
that I need to "shake awake."
I say "shake awake" because
that is what
happens. When i awake from the situation
my entire body lets
out a very large
shake that ends up moving me across the bed or out of the
position that I
was lieing in.
I have at least
three instances that I can recall of this but I am quite
sure that there
have been more. Several years ago I
became aware that I
couldn't move
and became terrified of it only to realize that I was
surrounded by
"things" around my bed.
Somehow I managed to shake awake and
it went
away. I promptly covered my head with
the sheets thinking that that
would make it
stop and fell asleep.
Nextly was only
about a year ago. I didn't seem to
notice anything in my
field of vision
but that feeling of imminent danger and absolute evil was so
bad that I
forced myself, quite tired at 11:30 PM, to stay up until nearly
5:30 in the
morning just so I would be able to see daylight before I went
back to sleep
feeling that the sun would keep me safe.
And lastly
occured perhaps 4 months ago. This was
the worst yet. I felt as
though I was
asleep and then suddenly the paralysis occred but there was a
new twist. This time I could feel what felt like a
person wrapping their
arms around
me...around my torso. It got to the
point where I could
actually feel a
body coming up behind me and breath on my neck.
At this
point i began
screaming and flailing my arms about wilding punching, or so I
thought I was
doing all of this, at whatever it was that was attacking me.
It was horribly
molevilent in feeling. At that point it
felt as though I
sat straight up
in bed and screamed at the top of my lungs "GET THE F*CK OUT
OF
HERE!" (Please pardon my
language.) There was a figure hunched
over
standing in my
window at the foot of my bed stairing at me as though I had
"caught him
in the act." Out of the same window
there were lights of green,
blue, red, and
purple flashing about madly. The black
figure jumped out of
the window and
suddenly I shook awake but I was lieing on my side.
Those are the
few times that i do remember. You say
that this happens most
often when
people sleep on their backs. I just want
to say that it seems an
impossibility
for me to sleep on my back and I have always slept on my side
and these
occurances are no different in my sleep patterns.
If you would
like to hear any stories that I do have about ghost hunting
experiences or
about Randy please e-mail me back and let me know. I also
have what i
believe is a ghost picture on my old computer but I would have
to locate it
again.
Boonies
By:
Mdhlnj@wmconnect.com
I live in the
middle of kansas wich most people would say the boonies. I just moved in my new house a year or two
ago and the person we had lived ther before us and she died. Well we have had
alot of "experiences" with the
supernatural. One day i was getting ready for school it was pretty early
i had an offal sence some one was right behind me watching me. It was so bad i
ran to the end of the house I was so scared and all of the sudden i herd a
CRASH! I want back and come to find out my apple juice had spilt all over the
floor but the weird think it wasnt that thick of glass but yet it didnt break?
Another
Exirience i had in that house was I was outside talking to one of my good
friends and all the sudden she started screaming, well come to find out she saw
some one in the mirror walking across my
living room and the thing she saw she described it as a black shadow. The scary part was i was the only one home. O
yeah how she saw the shadow is theres a glass door and then theres the storm door and i had'nt
shut the storm door so you vould see the mirror from out side when your
standing on the side walk. Infront of the door. HISTORY O- You see i dont know if this has
anything to do with our " expirences" but in the early 40's there was
horrible flood . It was so bad that people had to cut the tops of the roofs
off. And in the late 1800 there was a small pocks epidemic that swept through
the small town.
Two Strange
Occurances at the Same House
By: Anonymous
I was reading
some of the stories here and I have to admit that a some of them
seem like they
might have merit but some sound a little too far fetched.
Anyway, I will
share two situations that happened to me that gave me pause and
made me consider
the possibilty of ghosts existing. I don't really want to use
my name because
I don't want anyone thinking I am some kind of kook.
1. I was
watching movies at a friend's sister's house (she works late nights
and my friend
,her brother, watches the kids)when out of nowhere we heard
heavy footsteps
coming from upstairs, it sounded like heavy boots on a
hardwood floor.
I said to Bryon, who's sister owned the house, "Hey man, those
kids are up
messing around up there". He says matter-of-factly "Naw man
they're
alseep". My other friend who was also there heard the footsteps too
and said
"It sounds like they're stompin' on the floor". Again Bryon
says "Naw,
I'm tellin' you they're alseep, I hear that all night long, every
night my sister
is gone". I say " I wanna go up there and see for myself".
Bryon says
"go ahead but they're asleep". I put on a brave face and went
upstairs, sure
enough both the kids are sound asleep snoring in their beds. I
come back down a
little weirded out and ask for an explanation. Bryon then
proceeds to tell
us that his brother-in-law commited suicide in front of the
house shortly
after his youngest daughter was born. Aparently he had some drug
and mental
problems but I don't know exactly why he did it. Bryon even tells
us he actually
has the hose in the storage room his brother-in-law used to run
the exhaust into
his car and he shows it to us. Myself and my other friend
were both a
little freaked that they would keep something like that but
nonetheless it
was there. So Bryon relates some more of this weirdness to us,
the whole time
still hearing whatever was walking across the floor upstairs.
He seemed to
think it was his brother-in-law checking on the kids, but said it
was strange
because he was kind of an abusive guy in life due to his problems.
He also said the
oldest of the kids had said in passing one day that her daddy
came out of her
closet and said he was going to kill her, but it could have
been a bad dream
due to the trauma of losing her father.
2. Same house,
later that year, Bryon called me and asked me if I could watch
the kids
overnight because both he and his sister had to work late shifts. I
agreed before
thinking about the previous experience in the house and this
time I would be
alone until 5 in the morning. I was getting paid 20 bucks to
do it and I said
to myself I can handle this what could happen? When I got
there it was
around
and all I had to
do was make sure nothing happened like a fire or something. I
really didn't
give what had happened previously much thought and I just
watched TV in
Bryons room in the front of the house. I had a perfect view of
the stairs in
case one of the kids got up in the middle of the night and was
confident I had
everything under control. As I was sitting there I decided to
call my
girlfriend and while I was talking to her I saw kitchen door ot of my
peripheral
vision swing closed, hard, like it was pulled shut as someone
walked through
it and pulled it closed behind them. I immediately thought one
of the kids just
got up and ran into the kitchen. I tell my girlfriend I gotta
go and get up to
investigate. When I reopened the kitchen door which is kitty-
cornered to the
stairs door I realized how tough it is to move because it
kinda sticks on
the carpet. I go into the kitchen and no kids ( the thought of
ghost at this
point never enters my mind because I know I saw the door shut
and that it
sticks so much someone had to have pulled it so, and so panicking
I run outside
through the door in the kitchen that leads outside thinking that
one of the kids
knows I'm here and is messing with the babysitter and is
outside playing
games. There is noone outside and it occurs to me that a
little girl
isn't going to run outside at night in her pajamas just to mess
with me so I go
back in and the thought hits me like a brick "HAUNTED!!!". I
start to freak a
little thinking about everyone of those things Bryon had told
me but I have to
go upstairs and look. Shaking the whole time a crept up the
stairs and sure
enough there they are, sound asleep. I go back downstairs and
call my
girlfriend and say "I know I can't leave these kids but I am so
freaked I don't
know what to do". Nothing else happened that night and I never
discussed it
with Bryon or his sister but I also never babysat there again and
I was asked a
couple of times after. These two incidents aren't giant floating
heads or demonic
dolls coming to life but they are at least truthfully what I
experienced to
the best of my recollection. I think it kinda sucks when I read
a story on here
that is just so ridiculous and so full of adolescent drama
that it is
comical and not in the least believable. I think those kinds of
stories
completely give the study of the paranormal a bad rep and make anyone
involved in the
study look like fools.
Thanks for
reading.
Unexplainable

A couple of weeks
ago, on bonfire night, me and my fiancée decided to watch the fireworks up on
the mountain near our home, as we weren’t having ours until the day after. We
drove up there and realised that a lot of other people also had the same idea.
We couldn’t find a decent parking place, so we decided to drive through the
forestry to the other side of the mountain and watch the fireworks from there.
When we drove through it was quite creepy as it was pitch black, there wasn’t
any lighting around or any people. It took us about ten minutes until we got to
the other side, we watched the fireworks and had a really nice night. We
decided to drive back at about 10:45pm, there were still no other people or
cars around. We were about halfway through the forest and were talking about
the trees around us when suddenly on my side of the road there was this white
thing by one of the trees, which was kind of misty, it literally jumped like a
sudden flash and then disappeared. I lost my breath with a sudden gasp of shock
and turned to my fiancée, he looked just as shocked as I did and we both said
“did you see that?” We both went over what we saw, we were really freaked out
and I had goose bumps all over. I had this really scared feeling inside me and
I felt like I just really needed to get out of there. We got out of there and I
felt this huge sense of relief over me, I don’t want to ever go there again.
What do you Mean
you are not at Home
By:
dvalbers@sympatico.ca
My house is
about thirty years old. It's very small less than 1100 square feet and with
three growing boys it is cramped. I don't know how many people lived in it or
what the history of it is and I'm convinced it is haunted. First it was weird, not scary weird but more
of the "what I just looked there for it?" "How did that get there?" "It was here just here a minute
ago." comments when items, were moved, lost only to turn up in funny
places or the exact spot it was like when we couldn't find my wallet for days
only to show up in the exact stack of papers I left it on.
My husband works
full time and goes to school one night a week, not coming back till about ten
or eleven in the evening. On one such
night I was in the basement watching tv with the cordless phone beside me and
heard the front door open. I should add
that raising a two year old I placed chimes on the back of the front so I would
hear it open anywhere in the house.
This night I
didn't hear the chimes, but the loud click of the door handle being pressed and
solid footsteps of men's shoes moving in the kitchen above me and then
continued upstairs. Not wanting to shout
up to him, in case I woke up the boys, I waited and waited and waited thinking
Dale just went to change out of his suit into more comfortable clothes. Finally I called him his cell phone and asked
if he was coming down.
Dale wasn't
home, he was just pulling out of the school parking lot.
It has happened a few more times. Hearing footsteps in the kitchen then going upstairs. Also one night I was showering, this is a one bathroom house, and I felt uneasy, not scared just that something wasn't right. I stepped out of the shower and the mirror was steamed over with a child's hand print on it.
