Ghostly experience or comment: When I was fifteen I got up in
the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I then proceeded into the
living room to check the timme on the clock on the mantle. Standing infront
of the mantle back to me was a heavyset figure dressed in a long white shawl
looking at the photos on the mantle. I called out asking if the being was
either my sister or mother. No Answer. I went to my room to get my knife
when I came back noone was there. But the rocking chair next to the mantle
was moving by itself. I then proceeded to go into my sister and mother's
beedrooms and they were sound asleep. In the morning when I woke up I went
to the mantlepiece and i found a small picture of the virgin mary inverted.
I told noone about the encounter untill a few days later as my grandmother
was talking to the old man next door to us and he sair that ma (meaning
his wife who had died five years earlier) came to visit him the other night
but went to the wrong house. As you can imagine I was surprised. Any more
stories you want to hear please ask I seem to be a ghost magnet as during
my life I have had no fewer than 5 experiences.

Ghostly experience or comment: This following event is true this
is not made up. THE LIGHT FLICKER AND BODY LIFTER One night a couple of
years ago I was awoken by a brush from my cats tail. It was exactly 3:08
in the morning. I had to go to the bathroom badly so I got out of bed. I
was starting out of my room when I looked directly across the hall into
my brothers room where I saw a light under him and him in the air. I tried
to call out to my brother but this light did'nt like it. It was in my face
by now and two things the size of arms extended from its sides and into
the air, and all of a sudden the lights started to flicker. I was to scared
to take my eyes off it and after about 2 minutes it stopped. After that
I tried to tell everyone it was true but to this day nobody believes me.

Ghostly experience or comment: My wife and I lived in a small
house in Norfolk, Va in the early '90s with our (then) 2 year old son. Shortly
after moving into the house, strange things began occuring. My wife saw
shadowy figures in the bedroom and hallway. Another common occurrance was
round lights floating around the room. I never saw any of this stuff and
had dismissed it as her going nuts. Not long after that, my son, who was
3 by now, started telling us about "powder people" in his room
that would come out of the walls in his room and of "green lightning".
Again I saw (and hoped to continue seeing) nothing. One morning, I was in
the living room putting on my shoes to go to work. My hat was on a shelf
above the TV on the other side of the room. Out of the corner of my eye,
I noticed movement near the TV. My hat lifted straight up off the shelf,
hovered in mid air for about 15 seconds, then fell in the floor half way
across the room. Things were quiet with me for about a week after that until
the ceiling fan started running by itself. My wife witnessed this as well.
We had a cat that would jump straight up in the air from a dead sleep (pardon
the pun). Strange things kept happening for the remainder of our time there.
In 1995, we moved to Gulfport, Ms. A few months after the move, my wife
began seeing figures in the house. One was a young boy sitting at a play
table we had for our two sons in the living room. One night a friend of
ours came over. She kept mentioning how cold her right side was. My wife
finally looked over where she was sitting and saw the little boy sitting
next to her friend. I had never heard voices or saw figures, smoke or light
until we moved to Mississippi. I was laying in bed one night and heard a
soft voice call my name. My wife was in the living room which was at the
other end of the house. We have since moved to Spain and so far all has
been quiet.

Ghostly experience or comment: One time my mom had an experience
with the ghost of her mother. One, dark night she was sleeping alone in
her bed. Suddenly, a strange paranormic activity occured with the appearence
of a white, glowing figure. It woke my mother up in a chilling sweat filled
with fear. She figured out it was her MOTHER who died a week before this
encounter. The ghost bequeathed to my mother a few words of advice, she
said "Don't be afraid, take good care of your Dad and your brothers."
Within a few seconds, she vanished. Two or three years later, my mother
nervously approached her father with the story about the experience that
night. Suprisingly, he said he had recieved the same visit that same night!

Ghostly experience or comment: When I was 15 I woke up to a very
ghostly(gray white) man about 100 years old( he looked very old) with a
terrible grin on his face looking right at me. Laying next to me in my bed.
I didn't know if I should get up and go or lay there. I was so scared. My
mind was racing. Finially, I worked up the courage to jump out of bed and
go into my livingroom. My mother looked at me laughing and said "you
look like you saw a ghost" well I replied,"I did!!." From
then on he continued to bother me, slamming doors, hitting my bed,walking
up and down the stairs, he was very annoying. My brother say him one morning
and he just threw his sneeker at him.

Ghostly experience or comment: I am a practicing witch. Everyone
has a spirit to guide them, sort of like a guardian angel, but they are
not. Most people aren't aware of the presence of their spirit, but witches
have that special gift. My spirits name is Adrian. He was 15 when he died.
He killed himself. When he died, he was given the choice to go to 'heaven'
or to be a guardian for someone on earth. He was also told that he was to
marry a girl. He and the girl were to be very happy, and were to have a
good life. I was that girl. Adrian found me, and became my help. He's extremly
sweet. he helps me in ways unimaginable. He is always keeping me out of
trouble, and protecting me when I'm in it. Over the short time that he has
been with me, I have learned to communicate with him. He died last year.
He doesn't like to talk about his life before he was dead, it makes him
sad to talk about it. We once had a poltergeist in our house, two people
have died in it, and Adrian chased them out. HE helps me with my spells
and stuff. He does my homework for me too. I really don't know why I'm telling
you this, I guess I'm relieved to find someone bresides myself who believes.
I've tried to tell other people, but they all laugh. I can't give you my
e-mail address, but I can give you my home address. Jill Taylor 520 W. Whiting

kitchen table and the cubord moved open and cups,dishes,plats flew out.It
was scary but fun. but after a few weeks it was not so "fun".
We saw a blue and white mist floting by me when I was sitting on the sofa.
We herd noises like foot steps coming up the staires, and doors slaming
when they are shut. I could go on but I don't have much time.SO THAT IS

Ghostly experience or comment: I once lived in a house that was
haunted. It had two attics in it, (one on either side of the upstairs bedrooms)
and many times I would get up at night to find the light on in the attic.
I tested this many times by turning the light off both before I went to
bed and during the night. I wasn't afraid of this ghost she was relatively
harmless. She only appeared to me once. I was a teen-ager and very upset
about something, I don't remember what, but she came and sat on the side
of my bed. It was an experience that most people don't believe but it did
happen. Several years later I was telling my older sister about it and she
asked me what the girl looked like. I told her and she said she knew who
it was. She had also seen the girl and she decided to research if the girl
really existed. She found her picture in an old High School year book. The
girl had evidently died of Tuberculosis in her early teens. Anyway my sisters
description and mine were identical. In that same house there were ghosts
in the attic on the other side of our rooms. None of us ever saw them but
the three of us who lived in the upstairs rooms knew they were there. We
didn't know the others knew about it until years later but when we did talk
about it we all knew there were three men in there and they were not friendly
sorts.

Ghostly experience or comment: When I was 11, my family moved
into a trailer house. We thought it was unusual that the trailer was painted
black anlong with one living room wall. Within the next 2 yrs, strang things
began to occur. First off was my little sister pics were dissapearing. Then
whenever we had them retaken, they would reappear where they were supposed
to be. Then in the evenings my parents as they were watching tv would see
a shadow move down the hall to the bathroom, and within a min, they would
hear the toilet seat drop. We assumed at that moment that it was a male
ghost. About 2 weeks later, my stepmother was in bed sleeping, and awoke
to a hand on her leg, thinking it was my dad, she rolled twords it, and
seeing bright glowing red eyes, she screamed and as she screamed the ghost
dissapeared into a puff of smelly smoke. After my dad reached the bedroom,
he flipped the light on to see a dark burned spot on the bed. At that point
in time, the living room where the wall had used to be black, a clock that
ran on batteries, the magnet inside the clock shattered. They realized something
had happened in the house. They spoke to the preist at the church in town,
and he told my parents that the previous owners delt in the occult. Once
they found out about that, they started to talk to the ghost whenever they
felt a presence. At that point, the ghost started playing more tricks. One
day my fathers 100 yr old bible was in the middle of the living room floor,
when it opened by itself. The presence would like to play with the heat
in the livingroom, making it very cold, while the other part of the house
would be hot. He also loved to go into the bathroom and continously slam
the toilet lid down during the middle of the night. Finally after a year,
they contacted an exorcist to come and clense the house. When she arrived
she didnt want to enter the house. She said that the spirit that was there
was so evil that this would be a very big challenge to get it to leave.
After having to come out twice to the house, the ghost finally gave in and
left.

Ghostly experience or comment: I am 18 years old from Burlington
County, NJ. I have lived in my house with my parents for all my life. It
was one night when I was in my bedroom sleeping. My parents were asleep
and so was my little sister in the other rooms. My bed was by a wall and
my dresser was in the corner where I could always see it. I woke up and
there on top of the dresser was this image. It was a bright, glowy image
made out to be a person. I was very young then probably about 5. I didn't
know what to do and I couldn't scream nothing would come out. I was very
scared so I closed my eyes and opened them again but the figure was still
there. Then I put the blankets over my head and whispered go away and when
I took the sheets off the figure wasn't there anymore. Ever since then I
have never seen the figure. I didn't know what it wanted but it knew that
I was scared so that's why I think it left and never returned. Ever since
then I definately believe in ghosts,no doubt about it.

Ghostly experience or comment: I live in a house that is more
than 100 years old and it has always freaked me out. I see people, hear
foot steps, and we have a passage between two closets. One night, my friend,
Amanda, and I were sleeping in my mother's office when we saw several successive
flashes of light. They were too quick for us to be able to agree on an exact
description. The last car that had driven by , had driven by more than 5
minutes ago and the angle of the window would have made it impossible to
see the headlights. I turned all the lights and tried to convince myself
that some light from some unknown car or house had reflected off of the
mirror above where we had been sleeping. When I looked up, I realized my
mother had taken the mirror down.

Ghostly experience or comment: I was sleeping one night. I woke
up about 1:30am and looked at the clock. Feeling very sleepy still. I lied
there for several minutes. The TV was on in the living room. I could hear
the program. Suddenly, a wind blew up in my bedroom out of nowhere. It seemed
to come up from below the bed and over my body. I felt the covers pushed
against my body. I heard the wind hum past my left ear. I lay there experiencing
this sensation. I thought, "What is this?" I was somewhat alarmed
but didn't jump up. I was almost frozen into that place. The wind ended
as suddenly as it started. There was no window open and no place it could
have come from. During this experience....I felt what I can only describe
as an "energy" throughout my body. I lied there for a long time
trying to decide what it could have been....then I fell asleep. I have never
believed in ghosts. Nor have I had similiar experiences. I still am not
sure what it was. But it haunts me.

Ghostly experience or comment: When I was 18 my parents decided
that we would move our business (we bred and showed Arabian horses) closer
to Toronto. My parents went on a trip to look at prospective locations.
After their third night away I began to dream very clearly of a white house,
on a hill, with four white pillars. In this dream I would sort of zoom in
on the front porch and a girl which long dark hair wearing a white gown
was standing there holding out her hands to me. As if she were begging me
for something. She would begin to cry and the dream would end. I told my
grandmother of the dreams and she tried to shoo away my fears. When my parents
returned from their house hunting they said that they had put in a bid on
a really nice farm. When they started to describe the house my grandmother
looked at me and went very white but didn't say anything to my parents.
When the purchase was complete and I finally saw the house I was dumbfounded.
It was the exact house that I had been dreaming about. Needless to say I
was very nervous about that house. I was assigned a bedroom that overlooked
the side of the house and grew to hate that room. None of our pets would
enter that room. The window was almost always covered in frost, no matter
the time of year. My bedside lamp was quite often picked up, while I was
watching, and gently placed on its side. I would hear quiet sobbing coming
from my closet and would often hear a voice whisper in my ear (I was alone)
"Open the door". I never did open that door when prompted to or
when I heard the crying. I finally broke down and told my parents. My father,
a devout skeptic, refused to believe any of it and was sure that there was
rational explanations for everything. He never did find an explanation for
a frosted bedroom window when it was 90 degrees outside. I lived in that
house and experienced inumerable events and was never so glad as the day
I moved out.

Ghostly experience or comment: Have I got a ghost story for you.
There's this bridge called "Hatcherman's" just outside the city
limits. Every night at midnight, he roams around under the bridge on his
horse with a lantern in one hand and a hatcht in the other. He is said to
be headless. Legend has it that some teenagers hung him with a rope and
then waited for him to die. Later they used a hatchet to decapitate him.
And it's true. I've been going there since I was a small child. And usually
I see a glow roaming around under the bridge. No one has ever been down
there. Everyone's too scared. They say he is waiting for his revenge. That's
why he carries a hatchet.

Ghostly experience or comment: When I was a little kid we lived
in a small house in Rhode Island. For many years after my experiences in
this house I was afraid to go to bed without the ligths on, and to this
day I still feel more comfortable with a blanket over my head when i'm sleeping
(though now its all habit and no fear). Anyway this is what used to happen:
I'd go to bed and every once in a while I would see these faces in a circle
above me. The circle would be spinning over my head and all of the faces
were doing different things, some were opening and shutting their mouths...i
can't remember that well but i think one was laughing...and there was never
a sound from it. I remember the first time it happened i would shut my eyes
but I would still see them in exactly the same positions, revolving around
me. I finally just got used to it, and because I was so young, I just assumed
that it happened to everyone. Another time in that house I saw a gold kind
of form, it looked kind of like when you press your eyes hard for a while,
then you see a bunch of colors. It was moving from the door to the living
room to my mother's bedroom. I screamed my lungs off for someone to get
the heck over there and save me, but my mom didn't come for a few minutes
until everyone was gone. Nothing wierd ever happened after we moved from
that house.

Ghostly experience or comment: My first ghostly experience is
when I was at my cousin's house. A lady that was running for mayor died
there. The house was for a cheap price even though it had blood stains in
one bed room. It was still cheap. It was a very big house. My grandma owns
it and made it into a care home for old people. Alot of patients died. Then
one night my cousin's boyfriend was there. The ghost took over his body
for a while and started to take over my cousin's. Then it went away. The
next day a patient died in her sleep, then now they only have 2 patients
alive. They had 5 now two. I don't want anyone to know.

Ghostly experience or comment: When I was little my sister and
I had to get ourselves ready for school. Because my parents had to leave
early for work. Well when I was about 7 I was standing in the dinning room
combing my hair and my sister, who was 9, was in the bathroom brushing her
teeth. Well I was looking in the mirror and I could see directly into the
living room and sraight and the fireplace. As I was looking in the mirror
I heard a noise in the living I turned to see what is was. It was dark and
didn't see anything. So I turned back around. As soon as I did I noticed
as shadow in the mirror. I ran and turned on a light. I saw two hands placed
on the mantle the rest was kind of a milky, chalky color. being a 7 year
old girl I screamed. I swear at the same moment my sister also screamed.
The washer and dryer were in our bathroom. Well as it turned out my sister
was brushing her teeth and happend to look behind her. She saw the same
kind of chalky figure I saw. I don't know what it was. I few weeks later
my whole family were watching tv and the toliet flushed. After that strange
things happend. We moved the next year and never had anything like that

Ghostly experience or comment: I grew up in the house that my
grandfather built in the '50s. He died a couple of years later and my grandmother
remained in the house until we bought it from her. She stayed with us because
she couldn't bear to leave her home that he built for her. When I was a
teen back in the early '70s, I was walking through our kitchen. We lived
in the country and my mother canned vegetables and fruit every year. To
do this, she used a pressure cooker on top of the stove. When I walked past
the stove, this day, I felt a firm but gentle push on my back. It felt like
someone shoving me with both hands. I stumbled forward about 7 feet, landing
in the dining room. Before I could get up I heard a loud hissing and sputtering.
A couple of seconds later the pressure cooker lid blew off and crashed through
the roof, landing in the back yard. In the exact spot where I had been standing
before the push, boiling water and hot steam melted everything in site,
including the linoleum floor. I know it was my grandfather protecting me
that day. My grandmother tells me that I was his favorite grandchild because
I was the first girl and he died before any other female grandchildren were
born. A couple of years ago, I moved back into the house after my parents
moved out. The entire time I lived there I felt an overwhelming sense of
peace and protection. The funny thing is, my son started talking about the
nice old man who checked on him every night, giving him a kiss and tucking
in his covers.

Ghostly experience or comment: In the road from Mexico city to
Cuernavaca, not so long ago a truck driver suddenly realised the breaks
had failed, and jumped out of the truck saving his own life but he did not
see the passenger bus coming up the slope as the truck hit the curve. This
accident took with it the lives of 20 something teachers and the driver
of the bus. And so now as you pass the site of the tragedy you can see almost
30 crosses on the side of the road; but if you happen to pass it at night,
you can sometimes see the teachers along with the driver standing on the
side of the road asking for a ride , and even thoe the nights are usually
foggy the fellow bus drivers... his friends say that they can still recognise
the driver except for the look in his face, a look they connot describe.

them boaring, allthough I do know various ghost stories mostly from a little

Ghostly experience or comment: The first strange thing happened
when my family and myself moved into the house we moved into about eight
years ago and still live there. My father and I were repairing a door to
the shed that came with the house. The shed has a very cold and uncomfortable
feeling to it as if something had happened in there. Well, when we were
working in there on the door (we were putting the door back on its hinges)
my father reached over and opened the one and only window to the shed. It's
the type of window that slides open on its side, not the kind you push up.
We went back to working again for a while, then when we got done my father
was going to reach over to slide the window back shut, but somehow it had
shut itself. My father looked over at me and asked, "Did you shut the
window?" I told him no, how could I have when I couldn't even get to
it while we were working. My father just shrugged it off. Another time,
which was a few months later I awoke late one night and couldn't move at
all. It felt like someone was straddling me, and holding my shoulders down,
preventing me from moving. I opened my eyes to a sight I had never seen
before. My room was dark but this figure that was sitting on me was even
darker, like a silhouette of a person. Then, it only lasted for a mere 4
or 5 seconds it was gone as if it had never been there at all. I remember
sweating profusely. I haven't had anything like that to happen to me anymore
but there are some other strange things I'll have to share on my next posting.
I have a few stories from my parents and friends as well. Thank you for
reading. Is there anyone else out there that this has happened to? You can
e-mail me or post something on this site if you want.

Ghostly experience or comment: My mother, brother and I moved
around alot when we were growing up. When I was in first grade we moved
to Walton Street in Milledgeville, GA and stayed there probably the longest
stretch of time without moving -- 2 1/2 years. It was a very old, rundown
house in a nice older neighborhood next-door to the ex-mayor (a barber by
trade) on one side and an old couple we lovingly called grandma and grandpa.
I should also tell you that it was across the way from what was Po Boys
and then became the Goodie Gallery - little hometoen restaurants/delis/ice
cream shops. "Grandpa" used our backyard to grow his garden because
it was huge and the landlord got fresh some fresh vegetables in the bargain.
As latch-key kids with too much time on our hands we would go outside and
help "grandpa" pick vegetables or basically to talk and listen
to his stories. He asked if we had met the ghost yet after a few weeks of
us talking. We thought he was just kidding -- trying to scare two little
kids. He began to tell us stories from the previous tenants about how the
heater would turn itself on when it was cold even though it had been turned
off or the french doors to the dining room opening and closing by themselves.
The barber next door later backed up what "grandpa had said when my
mom took my brother to get his haircut. My mother chastised him for trying
to scare us - but we thought it was cool. My brother was a bed wetter (he
was 5) because he would sleep so hard and had a hard time waking up. All
of a sudden he stopped wetting the bed and after two weeks of dry sheets
my mother took him to the store to buy a special present for being so good
and getting up by himslef at night to go to the bathroom. He said I don't
get up by myself -- you get me up. She dismissed it as him dreaming and
didn't care as long as he was not wetting the bed. The next night I woke
up and saw a pale figure standing by Chris's bed shaking him and then leading
him to the bathroom and back again. I was scared but I couldn't move. When
the apparition brought Chris back to bed I was sitting up a little and I
started to feel pressure on my shoulders laying me back against the bed
and then my covers being tucked under my chin and then it disappeared. Another
time we were sitting in the living room watching television after school
waiting for my mom to get home from work. We had plants hanging from the
ceiling on those planters hooks. My brother was sitting under one when the
plant hook gave way from the ceiling. Instead of falling straight down it
fell stright and then halfway down all of a sudden went to the side missing
my brother completely. When we would go to Po Boys or Goodie Gallery we
would bring back extra to feed our "friend" -- sometimes it would
be eaten out of someitmes it wouldn't but it was always in the trash before
Mama came home from work. There were other little things that happened but
those were the two major things. As I grew up and moved around I thought
that it was just a kid's imagination that had been fed wild stories but
years later I went back to visit the house and met the college students
living there then and one of them said "Now this is going to probably
sound stupid but did anything weird ever happen when you lived here?"
and all of it came flooding back. There is also another house in town owned
by local lawyer Rick Gardner's family with secret passages that is supposed
to be haunted.

Ghostly experience or comment: When I think of Ghosts, I think
of a story my Mother told me. A few years ago my Mom and Dad were in thier
Bedroom. My father was asleep while my Mother stayed up a read. Late in
the evening my Mom overheard the Garage Door openng up. She assumed that
this was my Dad's brother Don. He usually stopped by after the Midnight
shift. After a minute a Man entered the bedroom. My Mother gazed up and
was startled to see it wasn't Don. My Mom said she was so scared she couldn't
move. The Man walked around to my Dad's side of the bed and simply smiled.
Then proceeded back around to my Mother's side and right through the wall.
After the man walked through the wall the dog barked wildly. My Mom woke
up Dad and described the incident to him. She described what the man loooked
like, he wore a white tee shirt, blue jeans and black boots. My Father said
that was what his father wore when he worked in the oil fields. To this
day she believes it was Dad's father paying a life after death visit.

Ghostly experience or comment: I am almost 13 and I am absolutly
sure that there is a ghost in my house. Well, I had a dream about this ghost
the first time, which is no big deal really. He appeared to be a pale male
in his teens with a broken-out face and dusty baseball cap. He told me he
had lived in the house for a long time, even though at that point the house
had only existed for a year or so. After the dream, I gave up the belief
that he was actually in the house, until one night. I was at the kitchen
sink, and I caught a glimpse of a reflection of a vase behind me in the
overhead window. There, on the vase's relfection, I clearly saw a face form
on it, and smile at me.

Ghostly experience or comment: After this experience, my life
has never been the same. My husband and I were just married, and we were
moving into our first home together. We couldn't afford much, but we found
a good deal on a large comfortable house in Wisconsin. The first night of
our stay, I notice little odd things, here and there- but all old houses
have strange noises to get used to. After about a week, when I was laying
in bed, trying to fall asleep, (my husband was already asleep) a small girl
figure, walked in and sat on a chair across the room, staring at me. Her
eyes were a pale blue color. For some reason I wasn't scared. I got up and
approached her. She held out her hand to me, but as I went to take it, she
vanished. My husband thought I was dreaming. Then again, who wouldn't? Well,
life went on- but I countinued to have episodes of meeting the little girl.
One night we decided to try to communicate with her. I had a good friend
over to help me with it since he (John) decided just to watch! All three
of us sat around a table after preparing the room w/ candles, lighting,
etc. At first, we were sceptical, since nothing was happening- but soon
the ouiji board's "pointer" began to move. Through strenuous questioning
we obtained the following information: The girl had been only 7 yrs. old
when she was kidnapped and taken from her home in Missouri. She escaped
from her kidnapper, but un fortunatly, had no way to support herself, and
died near by. She asked us to explain what happened to her mother, who is
know 65. She gave us her name to research, which I did. I'm not allowed
to give out the mother's name, but we did locate her and tell her what happened
to her daughter. She thanked us, although very shaken up. She hadn't believed
us until somehow the little girl's reflection appeared distinctively in
a nearby mirror. Never again did I see the poor little girl.

Ghostly experience or comment: When I was 11 my grandmother died.
She was a lonely old woman, and I was her only grandchild. Anyway, she had
been diagnosed with cancer about a year or two earlier. My dad got a new
job, and I had to move. My grandmother called me a lot (when she wasn't
in the hospital or too drugged up). About 2 or 3 weeks before she died my
mom went to take care of her, and house, and cat, and anything else that
needed to be taken care of). On September 7th, in the afternoon sometime,
I got a call from my grandmother. She asked how I was and if I understood
what was going on. I told her I did. She told me that she would never be
able to call again, but not to worry, that she was happy and she loved me
and would always watch out for me. Then she said good -bye and hung up.
As soon as I hung up I got another call from my mom. She said that the nurse
came in to check on my grandmother, my grandmother had wanted to make a
phone call, but died before she got a chance. Isn't that weird?

Ghostly experience or comment: One time, I was home alone and
I heard a knock on the door so I opened it. I felt a strong gust of wind
and nobody was there so I just shut it. About two minutes later I went to
get something to eat in the kitchen and I heard a loud tapping on the floor
and that's when I got worried. It stopped so I went to get something out
of the fridge when I noticed all the pictures and stuff on it were being
like pushed by the wind or something. I got really worried then so I opened
the door to my house and was about to leave when I felt the wind this time
from the back. For some reason I wasn't worried anymore so I shut the door
and never had any problems again.

Ghostly experience or comment: The night after we submited our
first story to this site something strange happened. The night when we entered
the story we did bloody mary and siances. This was the first time we did
bloody mary since the incident. Our friend Lisa was with us and so was Katie's
brother. After Bloody Mary we were all tired and decided to go to sleep.
In the morning Katie woke up and saw something that looked like blood on
her hands. Then I, Larissa, woke up and saw the same thing. Then Lisa woke
up again with the same thing. Then Katie's older brother, Andy, came into
the room screaming at us. "What is wrong?" we asked. Then he showed
us his hands. We figured it was him and ATTEMTED to get this stuff off our
hands and mouths.(we found it there too) We checked the covers and the entire
house it couldn't be found anywhere else. Since we thought it was Andy we
eavesdroped on a conversation between him and his mom. We found he was scared
to death and very confused. We checked his ENTIRE room. Nothing! we also
checked everyone's bags and Katie's room. Still nothing to this day we don't
know who it was but think it was Bloody Mary!! We really DON'T want to be
positive about that.

Ghostly experience or comment: My wife's family seems to abound
with ghost encounters. Practically everyone has seen or heard a ghost, except
my wife. Her youngest sister was visited by her grandfather the night he
died. Her brother worked in a greenhouse, and saw a long row of hanging
baskets start to swing as if someone was walking down the aisle hitting
them. Her mother (who worked at the same greenhouse) saw a revoloutionary
war soldier walking in a field nearby. The owners of the greenhouse, a husband
and wife, live next door in an old house. The paranormal activity in this
house is incredible, doors banging shut all the time, and footsteps upstairs.
The incredible thing is that they ignore it, they are accustomed to it.
Supposedly the worst room was their son's room, who had grown up and moved
away. They thought about moving into the room, as it was bigger or had a
better view or something. After one night in it they decided to stick with
their old room. My wife has an aunt and uncle who bought an old farmhouse.
There have been several incidents there as well. Their daughter woke one
night to see an old woman standing over her nightstand, reaching for her
jewelry. She reached out and slapped at the woman's hand, and rolled over
and went to sleep. One evening, when the aunt and uncle were alone, a spoon
flipped out of a bowl of ice cream and traveled several feet. The uncle's
mother visited once, and saw someone in a shed. She thought it was her son,
and was surprised when he met her at the door of the house, nobody was in
the shed when they investigated. Objects dissapeared and were found again
in different parts of the house. Lastly the uncle was alone once, and heard
voices downstairs. Thinking his wife had returned he walked down calling
to her. The voices stopped and then he realised she wasn't home, but he
wasn't exactly alone. When the aunt came home she found that he had the
music blasting so he wouldn't have to hear them anymore. She is much more
accepting of them than he. He is a bit freaked out by them, saying "as
long as I don't see them, we'll get along fine". He told me that there
is a house down the road a bit that is even worse, actually was in a book
on haunted houses someone showed him. My wife's older sister lived with
a boyfriend, and they supposedly had a ghost that would open and close cupboards.
I was aware, but never thought anything of it really. When we would visit,
we often stayed with them, as they had the most room. One night we were
all up late downstairs watching tv. I got tired and went up to bed. As I
lay there trying to sleep I heard someone messing with the linen closet
door just outside the bedroom. They seemed to be opening it and closing
it aimlessly. Suddenly I realised something very important, I had not heard
anyone come up the stairs. Now I was pretty scared, I wish I could say I
opened the door and took a look at what was out there, but I didn't. I just
layed there waiting for the noise to stop. A few minutes after it did, I
went downstairs. They were all still watching tv. I asked if anyone had
been upstairs, they said no. I saw the two dogs were passed out on the floor,
and asked if they had been up. Again the answer was no. I said "I guess
I'll watch the rest of the movie after all". All of these people live
north of Albany NY, some near the Saratoga battlefield. Practically everyone
in the area has some sort of personal encounter to speak of, I refer to
it a "ghost central".

Ghostly experience or comment: A week before Halloween,1992,I
was decorating our family room for a Halloween party. I had just finished
putting up some streamers, when I noticed that two of the streamers were
wildly spinning around. Thinking I had probably bumped into them, I thought
nothing of it. My mother woke up the next morning around 4 am and went into
the family room. She noticed the two streamers were spinning. She walked
around the area where the streamers were hanging looking for an open window
or perhaps drafts or an open air vent. She found nothing. She went into
my room to get me and told me about what she had found. I told her that
I had seen the streamers spinning before I went to bed. We sat there in
front of the streamers trying to figure out what could be making the streamers
move. We thought maybe static electricity. My mother took hold of the streamers
and the streamers next to them began to respond by twisting. As soon as
she released the streamers the other two stopped. Next she went and got
a match. She held the match under the two streamers that had been spinning
and when she did that they seem to pull away from the heat, not curl like
paper usually does but more like move to avoid feeling the heat. The streamers
began to spin as soon as she extinguished the flame. She yelled out "Stop
it" and they did. The movement stopped instantly. The rest of the day,
there was no spinning movement only the swaying that was caused by the windows
we had opened. Thinking it was probably just a unusual occurance, I began
to clean the house for the day and turn the stereo to listen to some oldies
and those two streamers began spinning again. Now not only were they spinning
but they were also attached almost as if they were holding hands. Curious
to see, I changed the music and put some modern music in, and the streamers
parted and stopped spinning. This occurance continued into the night and
when my brother walked in they would twirl uncontrolably. My mother called
the store where we had purchased the streamers to ask if they were maybe
gag streamers or maybe if they were supposed to dance around. The woman
responded if you were to put a fan under them they would move but there
is no such thing as dancing streamers. After Halloween we threw them away.
We figured we would never want to see or use them again after these strange
occurances. We have since moved from that house, and last Halloween when
we got our boxes down from storage to go through our decorations, guess
what was in the box?

Ghostly experience or comment: My Grandma died February last year
and when she died my aunt gave us all keys to her house. Grandma's house
is in the mountains so we go there when we are in need of a break from reality.
A couple on months ago I was at my Grandma's house with my boyfriend Bob.
Ever since she died I've had an odd feeling when I was there, but didn't
pay much attention to it until this trip. The feeling was much stronger
for him and he refused to go into the master bedroom. The next time I was
at the house was with Bob and Jim. When we arrived we all had to use the
bathroom so the guys took turns in the guest bathroom and I went to use
the bathroom in the master bedroom. As I stepped into the bedroom I was
almost overwhelmed by a feeling I can't quite describe. I wasn't afraid,
but I was shaken because the feeling was so distinct. It wasn't cold, but
rather warm, almost as if I could feel the air around me weighing on my
body. As I stepped out of the bathroom I looked at the mirror expecting
to see Grandma's reflection of her sitting on the bed. This was very odd,
but I kept going and didn't say anything to the guys. A little after midnight
Bob decided to give me a piggy back ride from one room to another. Only
as he was putting me on his back something happened and we both fell. We
were alright, but squabbled over the whole thing. While we were talking
Jim went into the living room and not five minutes later went running out
of the house telling us he'd be waiting in the car until we were ready to
go to the store. Up until this point both Bob and Jim had refused to discuss
what was going on. But in the car we began talking about the odd occurrences.
Everyone could feel someone there. Although I'm sure my Grandma is there
I believe my Grandpa might be there too. The reason Jim had run out of the
house was as he was sitting there he felt and saw (with his mind's eye)
someone appear from the hallway where the master bedroom is. He said it
instantly became cold and he felt as though whoever it was was angry. It
was almost unbelievable to hear as Jim to Bob not to piss Grandma off again.
It all seemed so unbelievable and yet it was happening to us. When we returned
Jim went to the bathroom and then Bob went. Only when Bob tried to flush
the toilet it wouldn't flush. Water Pressure Right? But we'd all been able
to flush the toilets the first time. For the rest of our stay Bob could
never get the toilet to flush, it just wouldn't do it. Jim and I had no
toilet problems. I finally got the guys to walk into her bedroom so I could
show them her picture which was sitting on the dresser where the mirror
is. It was logical to look in the mirror and see Bob and Jim over my shoulder
and every time I looked in the mirror it seemed just as logical that I would
see Grandma sitting on the bed. Not when I walked in the room and looked
at the bed, just when I looked in the mirror. It honestly confused me every
time I didn't see her. I just knew she was there. It was also the exact
same place Jim was staring. When we came home I asked several relatives
and none of them had ever experienced this. So why can Bob, Jim and I feel
her there, but no one else can? Are we all a little crazy? And was not letting
Bob flush the toilet her way of letting Bob know she was mad at him? A LITTLE
HISTORY ON THE HOUSE: My Grandma and Grandpa built it in the fifties when
my father and aunt were under 10 years old. In 1975 my Grandpa died in the
house of carbon monoxide poisoning (it was investigated as a murder, but
no one was ever charged), my Grandma just barely survived. My Grandma lived
there until she had her stroke in 1995 and she had to be hospitalized until
her death in 1996. They built this house as a place to raise their children,
a place to cherish one another and as a place to grow old in. Is it possible
they've chosen to spend eternity there too?

I was writing the letter I had a gatar right next to me. As I was writing,
the pic of the gatar rose. Then it flew over to the gatar and it strumed
it loud. I was very scared. Then I woke up my 2 roomates, my sister and
her husband and one of them started to pray. Then the ghost went away. I
was very scared. Before we moved into the house, a lady died in there. I

Ghostly experience or comment: This is not my story, but it includes
me... My grandmother, presently in Poland, had a not such a good life, her
husband was an alcoholic. My mother her youngest daughter came from an abusive
family, and my grandmother told me this story, which is all true. This is
how it goes.... My garndmother was living alone at a 2 room apartment in
Czaplinek, Poland. She was 50 at the time maybe younger. She told me that
she was awakened by an alarm clock, one of those windup ones, and it wouldn't
stop ringing. This was strange for the alarm clocks ringed for only a minute,
this one ringed for a lot longer. My grandmother arose from the bed, half-asleep
and walked into the hallway where the alarm clock was located. She stopped
in mid wasy of the hallway, and in front of her was the appiration of her
loing dead mother, still dressed in the funeral clothes. In shock my grandmother
didn't move at all, she just stared at the ghastly figure before her. Somehow
a warm feeling of calm overwhelmed her. Her dead mother visiting her daughter
told her the future.She said that when her first grandchild was going to
be born she will get sick, and that her only son, Andrei, will become an
alcoholic like her husband. After this the ghasly appiration went away,
and the alarm bell stopped ringing. Dazzled my grandmother walked back and
into the bed, when she woke up again she thought it was all a dream. But
she was reminded again when I, her first grandchild was born. Soon after
my birth she fell sick of Asthma, and her son beacme an alcoholic. When
I was old enough she told me this, and there was no way she would lie. I
know it was true and it was the only ghost thing that I know that ever happened
in my family.

Ghostly experience or comment: Pickens County Courthouse Carrolllton,
Al Years ago, a black man was wrongfully hanged in Carrollton, Al. Shortly
after the hanging, what appeared to be a man's shadow or silhoutte appeared
upon one of the courthouse windows. At first, the phenomenon was thought
to be a hoax, but no scientific explanation has ever been produced. Many
attempts to get rid of the apparition have been made including painting
and replacing the window pane, yet the shadow always returns. If your ever

Ghostly experience or comment: I live in the northern half of
Alabama,in a small town where nothing ever happens,like most small towns.
My father has to go out of town a lot on business and when he does my mother
and I are left alone.We do have a mammoth dog named Marvin but,other than
him,we are by ourselves. My mother and I have allways been very close and
when my father goes away,I sleep in their bed with her.Marvin allways sleeps
under the bed no matter what. Well,one night,Marvin woke me up growling.But,he
never came out from under the bed.I spoke to him, like any pet owner would
and asked him why he was growling.He just kept growling and gave a few small,low-pitched
barks.I didn't turn on any lights because I didn't want to wake up my mother(plus
I didn't want to be blinded).I sat up and looked around and listened to
see if I could hear anything but there was nothing.I moved to sit on the
side of the bed and started to get up when I noticed two glowing green lights
on the floor right in front of the doorway (we allways left the door open
because of the heat).I blinked my eyes thinking it was just my sleepy state
but it was still there.I looked closer and there was a faint outline of
an old Indian with a buttoned shirt and black trousers.I started to get
up thinking it might have been the glow from the street lights but as I
started toward the door,the man dissapeared.At first,I thought that my fater
had come home late in the night and that was his shadow,but then I remembered
that my father had said he wasn't coming home until two days later.I walked
to the doorway and looked down the hall to see if it was a reflection or
light of some kind,but when I stuck my head out of the door to look,I felt
this extremely cold chill and pulled back.Then,all at once the glow was
gone,like it was never there.I looked around the hall and surrounding rooms
but there was nothing that could have made that light and shadow like that.I
crawled back in bed and realized that Marvin had stopped growling allmost
immediately after the glow went away.I was extremely freaked out right then
and decided to just go to sleep. Now,Alabama is famous for its Native American
sites.There are a lot of mounds and old burial grounds and things like that
here. The neighborhood I live in is called the Indian Village because all
the streets are named after Indian tribes.I decided to find out just how
close to an Indian village it really was.So,I went down to the library and
looked up some information on the history of my home town.Come to find out,my
neighborhood is in the same spot as a real indian trading post.The people
who died there were buried somewhere else but I believe that their spirits
still remain. I'm not afraid of them,but my heart skips a beat every now
and then when I see a shadow move or hear the house creaking late at night.Sometimes,I
hope I'll see the old man again........ But only sometimes.

Ghostly experience or comment: In South Arkansas, there is a town
called Hamburg. Just 5 miles out of town, there is a road called the CC
road. If you drive down this road on a very dark night you will eventually
come to a crossroads. Park your car there, blink your lights and honk your
horn 4 times and wait. In a few minutes a light will appear. It will seem
faint at first but as you wait, it'll get brighter and closer. This light
has been there ever since any one can remember Nobody knows what it is.
People say that about 75 years ago, there was a railway that ran through
there ever night. One of the conductors lived along the track, and every
night when the train passed his house he would shine a light to his wife,
meaning she could start cooking dinner because he would be home soon. One
night while on his way to shine the light, he tripped and fell off the train
on to the track, he was decapitated. Now they say he is wondering the woods
looking for his head and using the latern as his only guide. About 10 years
ago a crew from Unsolved Mysteries came down and investigated "the
light" They said it was a chemical that they had never found anywhere
around in the southern US, except in Florida, near the swamps, but there
ahs never been any swamps in Hamburg Arkansas. To this day, "the light"
as it has become known, remains a mystery. It has though become the local
hang out spot for thrill seeking teen- agers. One time it came through our
car, and it went through my friend. when we got home, the paint was burnt
off that part of the car, but my friend felt nothing.

Ghostly experience or comment: well I saw this ghost around maybe
2 or 3 times. It was 8pm and my step son and me were in the living room
and my father in law was sleeping and so was my wife. So I decide to check
on my wife. The hallway was very dark. When I got to our bedroom. This wife
figure in shape of a women came out our door. She had no head. She was pure
white and scared the hell out of me. When I got closer the ghost went back
into our bedroom. When I went in. I only saw my wife sleeping and nobody
else. The second encounter was when I went into our bedroom alone and saw
the lady in the wife go into our bedroom. I went in and poof no one. My
wife said she heard a women scream and but when she went to check nobody
was there. I sometimes see quick flashes of things in the kitchen and sometimes
behind me when I am at the computer. Well the hunt goes on for the lady
in white.

Ghostly experience or comment: well, i've always felt that ghosts
existed so i'm never too surprised at the stories i hear. This happened
to me about a week after my best friend died. I can't remember just what
i was looking for, a favorite ring or something. for the life of me, i couldn't
find it. One day i picked up my powder compact thing to obviously put powder
on my face, when i noticed blue powdery fingerprints on the little powder
puff thing. i didn't think much of it until i looked up and noticed blue
powdery fingerprints on the casing around my lightswitch. the ring that
was missing was one of my best friend's favorites. about a day after noticing
the fingerprints, my ring suddenly reappeared on my shelf where i looked
a thousand times before. all my family members told me that they didn't
see my ring at all until i showed them that i found it. oh yeah, i also
gave my best friend a locket before she died, and it has our pics in it.
everytime i open the locket, her picture will be turned sideways or upside
down. i tell her, "hey, turn yourself the right way." and the
next time i look in the locket, her picture will be facing the right way.

Ghostly experience or comment: This story is actually real beilve
it or not. There's a restraunt I used to go to when I lived in Florida and
it used to be a house. There was a family that lived there and they had
a daughter and I think she was like 8 or something. One day she somehow
caught herself on fire and went screaming down the hall. The people in the
house never had a chance to get the fire off her so she died. And now people
here screams comming from upstairs (which is closed off) and margaritas
go flying across the tables for no reason. That story come directly from
the back of the restruant menu (well, not word for word, what I wrote is
like a summary of the story).

Ghostly experience or comment: I live in a small town in north
Mississippi. Of course, there are many houses in our area that date back
to the early 1800's. I was staying in just such a house, passed down to
friends of our family by their ancestors, when I had my first run in with
a ghost. My friend and I were about 10 years old, and we turned off the
lights and began to giggle over something. Immediately, we heard on the
ceiling. It is important to note that her room was below the attic, which
spans the entire roof of the house. We became silent, and we heard loud
cackling coming from above us. My friend then decides to tell me that her
Great-Great-Great grandmother died in the house, and her family has always
believed that her spirit remained in the attic. Needless to say, we were
both extremely curious, so we bounded up the attic steps as if it were not
after midnight. My friend lifted the attic door, and we both entered and
looked around. She grabbed me and pointed at a rocking chair, which was
rocking! (even though there are no windows or outside openings anywhere
in the attic!) I decided to be the brave one, and opened an old wardrobe
closet. While I was being brave, my friend sat down in the rocking chair.
As I opened the door, I felt a huge shock. Almost simultaneously, my friend
jumped out of the rocking chair and ran down the stairs to her room. As
I was following her to see what was wrong, I heard the same cackling again.
I ran down and asked my friend what happened. She said she had been shocked.
To this day, I have no idea what went on in that attic, but her family still
hears that cackling and reports that occasionally, the rocking chair is
put to use.

Ghostly experience or comment: I remember this night of being
rainy and dark. I was in my room sleeping on top of my bunk bed. Now I've
never really saw a ghost before, I just heard them. You know, I hear they
talking, whispering, etc.. I even felt one tap my on my shoulder. Anyway
I was sleeping peacefully when suddenly I felt someone watching me. I didn't
too take heed of it because my sister was on the bottom bed. I figured that
she was planning to scare me. I ignored the feeling. It wasn't until the
feeling grew stronger did I decide to investigate. Gazing over the bed,
I could see this little man looking up at me. He was facing my sister, but
his eyes were glued to me. Well being that I was six at that time, I hid
under the covers and refused to come out. Probably an hour or so later,
I looked over the bed and saw that the man was gone. I thought that that
was the last time I'll ever see of him, but I was wrong. About a week later,
while I was eating breakfast alone in the kitchen, I again felt the feeling
I felt at that night. It was coming from behind me though. When I turn around,
the man was there all right. This time he had the most evil grin on his
face. I left my breakfast and ran so fast out of the apartment, someone
would have sworn that I was being killed. I didn't think of telling my mother
this because she'll think that I was making this up. The third time, the
man tried to scare me again in the living room this time. This time it worked.
I screamed. You know what was so funny; the ghost appeared to me whenever
I was alone. I guess I had forgotten all about what I read in a book about
telling them to go away. When I did that, the ghost vanished, and that was
the last I ever saw of him again.

Ghostly experience or comment: The ghost in the window. About
3 years ago, My best friend and I were playing at her house. The house was
old, it was a commission house made in the war. my best friends Nana told
us that she was "staying in the lounge to watch the news." So
we went out side so we wouldn't bother her. I started to play on my best
friends trampoline, then she hped on. We both looked at the bathroom window......suddenly
an old face looked through the window it was all white and blue and kind
of smuged. We both looked at each other in horror, I didn't believe what
I saw, untill my best friend said she saw it to! Later that night I remembered
I left my headband on the trampoline. I went out side with my best friend,
my headband wasent there... My best friends dog started to bark and growl
looking down the drive-way. I looked in the drive-way and saw my headband.
When I picked it up it was extreamly cold. Then I realised that my best
friends house was haunted.

it looks like a forest and no one ever goes back there. Me and my friends
go back there everyday and every night. Well one night we were playing freedom
when we were like 12 i think it was and i was hiding in a bush when i felt
someone was looking at me. i didn't know where all the people that were
trying to catch me were but i could see my team and i thought it was the
other team behind me so i didn't want to move or theyd see me. But after
around 10 minutes i still felt the stare. So i decided to turn around and
look and all i saw was this like translucent lady about 5`9 in height standing
there. She looked like she was trying to say something but i took off and
ran right out of that cemetary and 4 blocks away. 2 weeks later another

before going to school I saw a tall white figure walk past the window and
up to the door . I said to every one ouse that was at the table someone
is at the door my brother looked out the window and said no there isn't
I didn't believe it so I ran out side to see and sure enough no one was
there and if it was a real person he would have had to of gone past the
window so it must have just dissapeared. Also at the same house I woke up
in the middle of the night and there was a tall still figure sitting next
to me and it was no one from my family .

Ghostly experience or comment: On my birthday, my friends and
I went to a haunted house nearby my friend's house. The house is named 'Royale'.
All my friends knew that the house was haunted and yet they decided to go
in there.We brought along a carton of beers, a videocam, fags and alot more
stuffs to celebrate my birthday. When we stepped inside the house, we could
feel cold wind blowing and all of a sudden everything was o.k. We thought
it was the rainy season and forgot all about the cold wind. The house had
2 floors and the steps were made of wood. We were all having fun in both
1st and 2nd floor. In the 1st floor, there only four of us that is myself
and three of my friends. Since the room was in square shape, each of us
was sitting at the edge and drinking beers. My frinds name are Sunther,
Khay Seong and Paul. At one part, we found out that none of us was having
a cigarette lighter. So I asked Khay Seong to go to 2nd floor to get a lighter
to smoke. So off he went to get the lighter in the dark to the staircase
heading up. After so long, Khay Seong was still not back. With drowsy feeling,
I started walking to the other edge of the room with one aim and that is
to scare Paul to death. Instead of screaming, he was still sleeping like
a baby. I woke him up and told him to go and scare the Sunther and it end
up to nothing great because he was sleeping too. Since it was so boring,
I sat together with Paul whom I tried to scare just now and started drinking
again. After a while, we heard a voice saying 'Don't you ever feel scared
Khay Seong?' Well as far as Paul and I knew, Khay Seong went up to get lighter
for us and if he comes down, he have to confront us first. Then when we
asked him to whom he was talking to, he answered ' to Khay Seong lah!' All
of us felt a chill down our spine when we didn't meet Khay Seong after that
strange incident. We went home immediately as soon as Khay Seong called
my cellular phone and said he sorry that he had to go home since it passed
his curfew time. All of us were stunned ecspecially Sunther!!!

Ghostly experience or comment: A few years ago I lived in Santa
Nella Ca. I lived in a small mobile home park, where everyone knew eachother.
I was not a believer then. Strange things started to happen. My closet door
would be open when I knew I had shut it. After a while I started to see
it move. By itself. Now I could not really believe that this was happening
so I invited a few friends over to see that this was going on. My friends
all laughed and said I was crazy. They came though. After I left them alone
in my room for a few minutes, they all came out with white faces. I never
saw a few of them again. I knew then that this was real. A few days after
I had my friend over I had my most nerve racking experience. I was walking
through the living room, we had one wall that was a foot of mirror, a foot
of wall, a foot of mirror etc.. I was looking into the mirrors to check
my hair and makeup. When I reached the fourth mirror I saw a man standing
there. I froze. He had black work boots, blue jeans, and a red flannel shirt
on. I could feel him looking at me. The thing is I couldn't SEE his eyes.
They were just black holes. I did not feel any fear. It was like I was trapped
staring at him. I turned around real fast to see if he was really behind
me and he was gone! I turned back to the mirror and he was not there. This
is just two of the things that happened in this home. There were many more.
I am a firm believer now. I have talked to other people with experiences
like mine. The thing that gets me is no one ever sees the actual eyes. They
always see black holes.

Ghostly experience or comment: I have a friend whose grandmother
lives on an old Aboriginal acreage in Dural (Sydney, Australia). We decided
to stay the night at her house in the spare bedroom which is across the
hall from the kitchen. During the middle of this night we were both awakened
by strange voices. We both began to walk to the kitchen from which a faint
light glow from under the door could be seen. My friend opened the door
and we saw three ghost-like figures sitting around a table that wasn't there
in reality talking in their Aboriginal dialect. We are not the only two
people to have seen this. It has been seen on many other occaisions by different
people. Another wierd thing about this house is that my friends ' grandfather
died in his sleep about five or six years ago. In order for her to get the
depression out of her room, his grandmother decided to redecorate. She was
removing the wall paper from around the room when she came to her late husband's
bed. She ripped the wallpaper off the wall and discovered a diamond shaped
design on the wall - right above his bed. Upon closer inspection, it revealed
a picture of her husband, smoking a pipe and his dog laying at his feet.
There has been a psychic investigation and there is a strong presence around
that area. {Don't use my name}

Ghostly experience or comment: I live in Maryland near a state
park. There is a huge stone very close to the side of the road leading to
the park. It is said that when the people were building the road they tried
to blow up all the rocks, so their would be room for the road. That one
rock just wouldn't blow up, no matter what they did, so they just left it
there and built the road around it.No one knew why the rock just wouldn't
blow up, because all the other ones did, even one's bigger than this one.
Anyways sometimes at night you can see the ghost an Indian sitting on the
rock. I have never seen it, but a few people I know have.

Ghostly experience or comment: You may not belive this but I have
a ghost living in my house. He is the previous owner of my house...he died
of old age in a rocking chair that we still have on our porch. He is a friendly
ghost...kinda like a gardian angle that watches over us. One example is
when I was climbing a tree in my yard to set up some lights for christmas.
I was glancing at the chair he died in when it started to move as if somone
got out if it in a hurry. Then I felt some kind of small force push be backwards
to another branch just as the one I was standing on snaped. I was near the
top of the large oak tree and a fall from that hight would have broken my
leg. There are many other times when he's showed up...some to warn or sometimes
just to be there...

Ghostly experience or comment: Persistent little bugger!! I was
about 14 years old and we had moved into our house about 2 years prior.
I was laying in bed onenight and something woke me up out of a dead sleep.
I just remember that I opened my eyes and there by my window was this figure.
It looked like a female in a long white dress. We lived out in Spotsylvania,
Va. The road we lived off of was a road that was used to transfer ammunition
in the civil war. Anyhow, I was deathly scared and definitely did not try
to speak to the figure so I crammed myself under the blankets!! The next
morning, I told my 11 year old brother about it and he said he saw the same
thing. We never saw it again. Although I wished we had. I definitely would
have talked to her or at least tried.

Ghostly experience or comment: I emailed you about this, but I
guess I'll share it again. It just feels better all the time I say it again
and again. When I was about eight years old, I would see this one girl.
Just glimpses, though, but then when I would look, no one would be there,
of course. That's how ghost stories always work, right? well, they actually
do... Anyway... My friend was over at my house and we were playing this
game, when she looked over at something in back of me. In a weird-toned
voice she told me she had thought she had seen a girl for a second. But
when she looked again no one was there. I saw her too. Well, tat's my weird
ecounter. I still have questions, but of course, the ones no one can answer.
When I tried telling my friends about it later on in the other years, no
one would believe me. My friend, Kathryn, the girl who saw it, doesn't even
remember it. For when I asked her she would only give me this look, like
I was some kind of supsersticious moron. Oh well.. I'm sure it will all
pass, and I'll forget about it too. But this website has really helped me,
so thanks! >>>Kelly, Idaho

Ghostly experience or comment: A little over two years ago my
grandfather died unexpectedly. The night after he died his brother,was in
bed sleeping and the burglar alarm was set off by someone or something walking
down the steps. Around the same time, my dad was alone downstairs in the
kitchen getting ready for work when he heard someones foot steps going around
the bed in his room and then coming down the steps. The day of the funeral,
the family and our friends were gathering at my grandmothers house for lunch.
My uncle,which I mentioned earlier, was in line for food whae a drop of
blood appeared on his hand out of no where. After everyone left, my other
uncle, who is really into ghosts, checked the whole room and came up with
no source where the blood came from. One time on a hot summers day my dad
went jogging and came back to find the heat on and the ceiling fan blowing
upwards. Coincidence does'nt seem likely to me. D.A.Durbin, Canton,OH

Ghostly experience or comment: I used to work for a small Fire-Rescue
Department in South Florida. I had heard all the stories about Station 2
being haunted but just thought it was all stories. Station 2 was manned
by one Career Fire fighter and supplemented by Volunteers and backed up
by Station 1which was fully staffed by career fire fighters and 1 paramedic.
The time finally came when I was sent to the hole (Station 2 nickname).
The first few weeks were pretty uneventful, a couple of trash fires and
a few rescues. Still no haunts though. I was starting to get comfortable
there. The neighbors were great. They would routinly bring by food for the
guy stuck there and stop by to visit a little, a real Mayberry-type of place.
I showed up for the start of my shift about 7:45 am, as usual, but something
was wrong. The doors were locked and it appeared no one was there. I knocked
on the door and a voice answered "Who is it"? I told him it's
me Joe (not real name) let me in. A couple of minutes later Joe came to
the door with his bag, ready to go. I thought this is unusual because he
always hangs around a drinks coffee with me untill about 8:15 or so. I asked
him what was wrong to which he replied "The ghost was here last night,
all the equipment is in order and topped with fuel, bye". The day was
uneventful wiith only a stove fire which was out when I arrived. One of
the neighbors brought by dinner and stayed for a visit. I asked the old
timer if he knew anything about this station being haunted. He said, Ah
Hail son that stories been around a while but I ain't never seen no damn
ghost". Well at around 11:00 pm I decided it was time to hit the rack.
Station 1 ran a couple of calls which kept me up untill about 2:30 a m then
back to sleep. I heard a knock at the door and as I went to answer noticed
it was 3:15. I picked up the PL ( a private line telephone which rang station
1 when picked up) and told the Lt. Someone is here I may have something,
then laid the phone on the desk. This was done for security reasons as well
as to alert the Lt, of a possible call. I went to the front door and found
no one around. I went back and told him that it must have been a prank.
I was awakened again at 3:30 am by the opening of the bay door. The doors
were locked and could only be open from inside at night. I again picked
up the PL and informed the Lt. the bay door just opened call the police.
I went to check but all of the doors were still closed and locked. I informed
the Lt. and he said sounds like the ghost. I told him "Give me a break
I don't buy that malarkey". When the police got there I told him it
was nothing, and explained what had happened. He told me the ghost tale
over a cup of coffee and went on his way and I of course tried to salvage
some sleep out of what was now becoming a long night. I was again awakened
at 5:30, this time by the opening of the sliding doors between the office/bunkroom
and the Day Room. When I tried to sit up it felt as though some one was
sitting on my chest. I tried to knock whatever it was off then it pinned
my arms down. I tried to holler hoping the guy in the house next to the
station would hear but nothing came out. I then tried to kick the PL off
the desk hoping that if the Lt. heard nothing on the other end he would
send the police. I could see nothing as if I were blind. After what seemed
to be an eternity but in reality was only 8 minutes (I checked the clock)
I was released and I returned to normal (as normal as one could expect anyway).
I went and turned on all of the lights in the station and sat in a chair
untill my relief came in at 7:45. I was waiting outside with my bag. I told
the same thing I had been told and put as much distance as fast as I could
between me and the station. Thank God that was to be my last shift at that
station, and fortunatly mever had to work it again. I talked with a parapsych
teacher at the Jubior College and he asked if any one ever died there. I
kknew nothing about it but did some checking. About ten years prior, a Tanker
was housed at that station and was dispatched to a building fire. When it
got to the corner the brakes failed. There was a bunch of kids standing
accross the street waiting for the bus, so he tried to make the turn. The
truck rolled onto a small car. The driver was a young girl who was pinned
and severly injured. A neighboring Department responded. It took 2-1/2 hours
to get the truck off of the car. Everything they tried failed, the truck
kept slipping and fallin back onto the car. Finally they lifted the truck
enough to get into the car using the Jaws of Life, but it was too late for
the young girl. The firemen had put themselves into a very dangerous situation
to try to save her and immediatly after pulling the girls lifeless body
from the car the truck fell again breaking the Jaws and one firemans leg.
The ghost was first heard from the night after the girls funeral. The teacher
went to the station and requested that everyone leave. A short time later
he alowed us back in and the ghost has not been heard from since.

Ghostly experience or comment: This experience happened to a friend
of mine who is the soul of stability and level-headedness, thus my utter
fascination with this tale. She and her husband were rock-hunting on her
parent's property which is in a remote location in Colorado. She saw something
sparkling on the ground and went to pick it up. It turned out to be a plain
gold wedding band, very old-looking and inscribed on the inside with the
words "With all my love forever, Matthew." As she inspected it,
she was suddenly overcome with an intense feeling of disorientation and
wooziness. She said a vivid picture popped into her mind all of a sudden.
She saw a woman garbed in a blue gingham dress, frantically searching the
trail for something and crying pitifully. My friend was suddenly overcome
with a horrible feeling of grief and loss as she witnessed this scene. She
became terrified and dropped the ring, at which time the picture vanished
from her mind. She made her husband pick up the ring because she was too
scared to touch it. Later, her mother told her that the trail had been frequented
by people pioneering west. They had the ring appraised and were told it
was made somewhere around the early 1800's. I am convinced that the pioneer
woman's anguish over losing her wedding ring somehow attached itself to
the object itself and was transmitted to my friend when she picked it up.
I just love this story and think of it often.

Ghostly experience or comment: Just a small story. I believe my
childhood home is haunted. My brother claims to hear noises, sometimes as
audible as "Get Out!". I have felt a "presence" (wierd
feeling) in our upstairs hallway for years, close to his bedroom door. Out
entire family has heard unexplainable noises, and occurances(as recently
as three weeks ago, a table fan, "jumped" and fell off a table
for no reason...it wasn't on. I've never "seen" an apparition,
but I've lived in many homes over the years...some MUCH older than the one
I've described, and I've never felt this in any other home. I did once,
however, get an uncanny feeling when I looked in the corner of my own bedroom
about 6 years ago, and with the lights on noticed that the entire area was
"blurry", and stayed that way for about an hour. To this day...I
can't explain what that was. As it turns out, the family who lived in our
home before us had a son, who lived in my brother's current room. He was
killed behind our house in a ATV accident in 1978, and the family decided
to move away. If there is a ghost...I'd say it's more than likely it's his...since
his father built our home in 1969.

Ghostly experience or comment: I'm not sure if this qualifies
as a ghost story or not, but it has "haunted" me for years, and
I thought I would share it with you. Shortly after my grandfather died,
I had a vivid dream . It was the most vivid dream I have ever had, and it
has not faded with time. I was walking through a beautiful field of flowers
and marveling at their beauty, when I suddenly saw my grandfather busily
building a house. I was, of course, surprised to see him and said, "Why
Grandpa, I can't believe it is you! You really look wonderful!" (My
grandfather had been failing badly before he died.) He answered that he
had never felt better and asked me to tell my grandmother that he was alright.
I can still close my eyes and see his face. He was strong and mentally alert
again and he looked right at me in a very serious way when he asked me to
tell my grandmother his message. The field was absolutely beautiful, with
a soft breeze blowing. We sat and visited on the floor of the house he was
building until I suddenly woke up. Instead of fading as most dreams do,
this one stayed with me until I finally told my grandmother in spite of
my concern that it would upset her. Years later, I still think of this dream
because it was unlike any dream I have ever had before or since. It was
as if my grandfather was trying to convey a message to let us know he was
doing well and was thinking of us. While I am something of a skeptic when
it comes to ghosts, I am also very open-minded about the subject because
of that dream. I think there is a great deal we do not understand in this
world and beyond and life does not end with death, even though we don't
any of us know what happens after we die.

Ghostly experience or comment: Hi!I don't remember the story all
that well because it was told to me by one of my freinds mom {along time
ago}. Change it around so it sounds better if you want. She didn't give
a date. The story took place at a lighthouse. This man and a women loved
each other alot. Well, this man was a trader and trusted the women to keep
the lighthouse running so he could see where land was. One night the lady
forgot to turn on the light and the man sailed into the land. He somehow
got to the lighthouse he was bleeding very badly and stained the floor.
He died on the floor. Well, the lady had so much grief that she cut her
throat at the same spot her lover died. {Long time later} Some people bought
the lighthouse so that they could make it a museum. They restored the house
and replaced the floor with the blood stains on them. The next day when
they came back they saw that the blood came back. They replaced the floor
again and the blood reappeard. They replaced the floor again and got guards
to guard it, but still the blood reappeard and ever since every time they
replace the floor the blood stains reappear. THE END

Ghostly experience or comment: I'm not sure when this happened,
but I know it happened. I live in Connecticut, this story happened not far
from where I live. it was a place called Dudley Town, CT. I don't know the
whole story exactly, I am telling it, as it was told to me by my father.
Now, there have been reports of strange things going on tehre for a while
before the main event, that being every resident in the town disappeared,
no trace of the bodies, no clues to where they may be. But, people who must
pass by Dudley town, insist there is a light on in one window all of the
time. That's what my dad told me.

Ghostly experience or comment: The house my husband, children
and I live in was built new by my husband around 1983 so we know for a fact
that no one died here, etc. My husband lived here alone until 1985 when
we met and married. Never has he experienced any sort of odd activity here,
but my children and I have. The strangest thing I have had happen occurred
maybe 2 or 3 years ago. I was laying on the futon in our living room just
looking at the ceiling and relaxing when I suddenly turned my gaze to the
wagon wheel shaped light hanging from the ceiling in the foyer beind me.
It was turning around and around rather rapidly. I shut my eyes thinking
I was seeing things wrong. When I opened them, it was still turning. I ran
out of the room too afraid to take a third look! My husband claims it was
heat waves making it turn, but he has never seen it turn and I have yet
to see it happen a second time. As for my kids-they are almost 11, 8, 6,3
and 7 months. The older three have all reported hearing and seeing strange
things in this house. I have never been able to decide what is just normal
childhood imaginations and phobias and what might be something more. I do
have to admit to taking their fears a little more seriously after that wagon
wheel light fixture spinning around. I tried to check in to the history
of the land, but apparently it was just farmland that grew up into woodland
before my husband bought it. I have to admit to never liking the "feel"
of this place and even though I have birthed 3 of my children in one of
the bedrooms, this place just doesn't feel like home to me. My husband loves
this place, but my children and I would be happy to move.

Ghostly experience or comment: When my father was a teen, a friend
of his, who was driving a convertable, picked up a young woman who was hitch
hiking by the railroad tracks in Wilson, CT. She insisted that she wanted
to sit in the backseat alone and he reluctantly agreed to let her. She gave
him her address and asked if he would take her home. They talked all the
way to her house. When the young man pulled the car up to the curb in front
of her house, he turned around to look at her and she was gone! In a panic,
afraid that she had somehow fallen out of the car while he drove, he retraced
the route they had taken. When he could not find her, he went back to her
house. He knocked on the front door and was greeted by an older woman. He
asked her if she had a daughter fitting the hitch hiker's description. The
woman nodded. He told her what had happened, how the woman had vanished
from his car. The older woman explained that her daughter was always hitching
rides from young men in covertibles and then disappearing when they got
to her house. You see, the young woman had been killed years before while
hitching a ride from a young man in a covertible, by those same railroad
tracks! **note: this happened to many young men and was documented on the
TV show "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" 30 years or more after it
happened to my father's friend.

Ghostly experience or comment: My name is Jimmy Ash.My mom tells
me most of her childhood stories.And one I found very interesting,yet hard
to believe. Let me get on with it.When my mom was little,she lived in this
old house in downtown St.Louis with her 8 siblings.The person who used to
live there was a musician. They don't know the story exactly of what happened
to him,but he gone crazy, and killed himself.Anyway my mom's dad was dying
of internal bleeding,and stayed in his bed upstairs. My mom shared a room
with my Aunt Gail on the second floor.Nothing happened to begin with exept
for the occasional creaking. They thought it was a mouse. The first thing
to happen though was that my Aunt Brenda was in the upstairs sitting on
the window sill,when someone gave her a push out the screen to a 2-story
drop. She broke her arm,and had to get several stitches in her forehead.
The next occurence was when my mom was sleeping in her room,when she heard
piano music coming from the basement. That wasn't the only occurence that
happened in that bedroom.My Aunt Gail pulled a knife on my mom when she
was asleep.The only thing she heard was a voice telling her to wake up.When
she did,she woke up to discover the glintinf knife in her sister's handcome
violently down into her pillow. There were 2 more occurences that happened
before they moved was that my mom was upstairs talking to her dad, and her
dad told her to run because he was coming.The last occurence to happen to
her,affected all the kids. Her sister,Gail,put on the guy's suit,and started
to chase all the kids around with a butcher knife.My grandma,Flo,was at
work when that happened. The house still exists since,28years ago,when all
this happened.I told my mom that I thought she was crazy,until she took
me to see the house. these two old people live there now,and still report
on strange happenings. After going in, I was instantly afraid and wanted
to leave very quickly.Once I walked outside I felt fine. I'm planning to
go back soon to find out if I can find out anything on the house,or the
murder. I appreciate the time you took to read my story and promise you
everything I told you is absoluetly true. If you would like to know more,you
could write to me at Jimmy Ash Rt.1 Box 1282 Belgrade,MO 63622 Again,thanks

Ghostly experience or comment: About 14 years ago, when I was
13 years old, I had what I consider to be a paranormal experience. It involved
myself, my brother and our cousin. We were staying the week at my cousin's
house in Texas. It was my last night there before going back home. In Texas
many people have some type of storm cellar (basement) in case of tornadoes.
The three of us were sleeping down in the basement that night. My cousin
and I were sleeping on the floor and my brother was sleeping on a small
bed in the corner. In this room there was a closet with a door. It was getting
late and all of us were messing around and talking to each other when I
started to hear a strange noise. At first I could not make it out. I told
everyone to be quiet for a minute. When all of us were quiet we heard the
noise. From the closet came a sound that resembled the heavy breathing of
a person. As we listened carefully, there was no doubt this sound was coming
from the closet. I knew it was not my brother or cousin because all of us
were approximately 15 feet away from the closet. We started to talk to each
other and were asking, "Did you hear that?". The noise continued
and then something really weird happened. The noise began to move about
the room. It would come from a different wall and then the noise started
coming from underneath my brother's bed. Finally, the noise travelled to
a corner in the ceiling where there was (for reasons I do not know) a small
circle cut in the ceiling. It was about 4 inches in diameter and if you
stuck your finger through it, you would be touching the floor of the family
room. The noise stopped and we quickly turned the light on and searched
the room and closet to figure out what was going on. The only people in
the basement were the three of us and upstairs was only my aunt and my other
cousin. We never quite figured out what happened that night. My aunt told
us we were just hearing things. We heard things alright, but the noises
we heard were not earthly. The part of the story that is really creepy is
what happened in the family room lying directly above the basement in which
we slept. Two years prior to us hearing the noises, my uncle DIED in that
room. He had cancer and during his final days, the doctors sent him home
and he slept in a bed in the family room.

Ghostly experience or comment: Your site is just what I have been
looking for, for sometime. Although, I believe the entity has either left
or I refuse to except is presence anymore, here is my story anyway. About
two years ago my brother in-law (I'll call him darrell) was shot and killed
by an on duty bartender at a Casino. About a year after his death my husband
and I decided to release his ash's in the ocean where he had requested earlier
in life. At that time we began to notice movement in the house that wasn't
ourselves or the children. We knew it was something wierd because we only
saw it at night and we both saw it on seperate occasions. After that, I
couldn't sleep at night and was always awoken between the times of 3am -
4am. I could hear the shuffling of someone walking around in the dark, but
when I checked on the kids and they were sleeping I knew it was something
else. We all started noticing activity in the kitchen such as: the refridge
opening by it self (you could see all of sudden see the light from the fridge),
the sound of food being unwrapped but there would not be anyone in the kitchen,
silverware being moved around (not flying or anything like that), ect...
I believe it is Darrell and I know that he is not here to harm anyone, I
have excepted him and made a deal with myself not to let him bother me anymore,
cause for a long time I couldn't deal with what was going on in my house.

to a room. That night, me and my two roommates decided to watch t.v. The
lights were all on when we started to doze off, so I urged the other two
to crawl into bed and I walked over to the door, checked the lock and crawled
into bed. About three in the morning, something woke me out of a dead sleep,
almost like something had woke me up on purpose. I awoke to find a person
standing in the doorway, a man about 5'7" w wearing a red jacket. All
of the lights were on,and he was standing over my bed staring at me. I looked
over at my friends sleeping, and made them wake up. When I looked back at
the door, it was closed. I called security, and asked them if they had a
security man that fit that description, they said they did not. How the
man got in that room, I will never know. But something or someone woke me

Ghostly experience or comment: We live in a house that was built
in 1914. Over the years we have had a few friendly " visits" from
what we believe to be the ghost of a lady that passed away in the master
bedroom and also the ghost of a young soldier. Often times doors will open
or close and lights will flicker. My Mother believes this is simply from
drafty windows and old wiring. However, my brother and I believe different
as we have had a few more significant encounters. Very early Christmas morning
quite a few years ago, I was awoken by what sounded like someone playing
"Hark the Harold Angels Sing" on a trumpet outside. I was sleeping
on the third floor, which we were using as a spare bedroom. I thought it
was strange as it was so early, however, I didn't really give it a second
thought and went back to sleep. A couple of hours later, when I was having
coffe with my family, I asked if anyone else thought it was rude of someone
to wake the neighbourhood in such a way. No one knew what I was talking
about. I found this very strange because if I could hear it on the thrid
floor, it was almost impossible for it not to be heard elsewhere in the
house. But the matter was dropped and we didn't really discuss it again.
The following spring, we were clearing out the third floor so my brother
could use it as his bedroom. When my stepfather was in the storage area
(which is quite long) , he noticed some items in the farthest corner which
we had not put there. When he went over to see what these items were, he
found a trumpet case, with an old trumpet in it. We had been in the house
at least 7 years, however, the trumpet looked like it had just been polished.
A couple of years ago, my stepfather moved, and he took the trumpet with
him. This past Christmas, my brother walked past the living room on the
way to the kitchen, and nothing was unusual. When he left the kitchen and
walked past the living room again, the CD player was on, and it was playing
"Hark the Herald Angels Sing". He walked over and turned it off
and didn't think much of it. However, this reoccurred for the next five
nights. It stopped for a week, and then began again for the next three.
I have seen the apparition of "The Soldier". One night I awoke
to find him standing in my room. When I looked at him, he told me everything
was alright and to go back to sleep. It is because of this that I believe
this/these ghosts to be friendly. Very recently, as my brother was home
alone working on the computer very late at night, he noticed that the "extension
in use" light on the phone was lit. He checked all of the other extensions
in the house thinking that one could have been knocked off the hook by our
dog. All of the phones were fine, so he went back to work. A few moments
later, he noticed the light again. This time he picked up the receiver to
see if any one was there and the line hung up. The light came on a 3rd time
and he picked up the line again this time to hear a rotary dial telephone
dialing, then the line ringing, and a message that the number was out of
service. This happened again on the 4th and final time the light on the
phone lit up. We have only had one negative experience, which was aimed
at our stepfather. When he was remodeling the kitchen, he had to remove
some old cupboards. The opposite side of the wall that these cupboards were
on is in the dining room. On that side of the wall, we have some pictures
and our dining room cabinet. As he was tearing down the cupboards, he heard
a thump in what he thought was the dining room. He went in to the dining
room thinking a picture had fallen off the wall. All of the pictures on
the wall were fine and nothing in the cabinet was harmed. However, later
he noticed that a picture of him and my mom that had been on the mantle
in the living room , was laying on the floor, across the room. The living
room does not share any walls with the kitchen. Our Mom still refuses to

Ghostly experience or comment: there is a Bar on the Mohawk River
in Scotia NY.... Called the River House and occupies a former residence
dating back at least 100 years. the owner wanted a picture taken from the
opposite shore....... the day it was taken it was an overcast fall day..no
direct sunlight.. and it was shot in the afternoon putting the sun behind
it. when the picture was developed it hung for a long time before it became
"looked"at by a customer who noticed that the Building itself
was dark..as there were no lights on.... but the reflection showed that
every window was lit...including the the small bell free(spell check),which
doesnt even have a light in it....and the best part is as you look at the
relection in the river.....you can see someone standing in a downstairs
window ..but look up at the building.... in the corresponding window..it
is dark and empty. the bar maids constantly see the alarm system "flash"
in the upstairs module..that detects movement...usually in the early morning
hours just before closing.....the picture remains a conversation piece on
the wall...

Ghostly experience or comment: About ten years ago I worked at
a small hospital in Jacksonville, Florida. Our Human Resources department
resided in an old house right next door to the hospital. The house had been
built in the late 1800's and had been recently renovated for our HR ladies.
I was responsible for installing computer hardware and software at the time,
and got a call to come to HR and install some benefit software one of the
ladies had just received. One of my friends walked over with me since she
had to get a new badge. We were on very friendly terms with the ladies,
so stayed to chat after installing the software. They told us that they
were none too happy with their new location because "strange things"
happened all the time and further stated that they wouldn't be caught dead
in that house after dark. They would habitually hear footsteps coming from
the 3rd floor when they knew damn well nobody was up there. Also, things
would go missing and then turn up in the most unexpected places. Captivated
by these stories, we asked them to show us around the house. We went upstairs
to the 3rd floor and the ladies began walking us through the various rooms.
I was feeling kind of disappointed because everything seemed perfectly normal.
We then entered an empty room that had a high window on one side and a small
closet built into one of the walls. This closet was about 3 ft. high and
was large enough for a very small person to fit in to. The moment we walked
into that room, I was immediately stricken with an overwhelming sense of
fear and forboding. The hair on the back of my neck literally stood on end.
I looked at my friend and noticed her face was white as a sheet and that
she was shaking. When one of the ladies opened up the door to that closet,
I suddenly became filled with the most terrible feeling of despair and horror
and began sobbing for no reason I could think of. I also felt sick to my
stomach. The ladies quickly took us downstairs and sat us down with glasses
of water to calm us. Some minutes passed before we were able to compose
ourselves and walk back to the hospital. We don't know anything of the history
of that house, but I am convinced that something terrible happened in that
room, something really awful related to that closet. You coudln't pay me
enough to ever go back on that 3rd floor again. I often had to go back there
to do computer work for the ladies, but never felt anything bad as long
as we were downstairs. This was my first, and I hope last, paranormal experience.

Ghostly experience or comment: I am a young woman who has married
her long-time boyfriend. At one point in our relationship, I lived in Virginia
Beach and he lived with his family in an 19th century or older country house
in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. The house was old, and was in a shambles
as no-one had lived there or done any repairs to it in a long time--it did
not even have a kitchen or proper bathroom when they bought the house. Well,
now onto my ghostly experience. I was visiting my boyfriend Shawn with my
parents back in 1992 while the house was under renovation. I was upstairs
in one of two bedrooms sleeping on a bunk bed with my parents on the bunk
below me. I was asleep and was awakened by something. I still do not know
what woke me except that I had a sense that someone was there. The door
to the bedroom silently opened, and a figure stepped in and stopped like
it was looking for something or someone. Well, I thought it was my boyfriend
as my parents and I were to go home early in the morning. I called out his
name Shawn, but all the figure did was look my way then it walked to a stereo
car and sat down. It seemed to be watching me. I felt like it did not like
me being there. I was a very scared 17 year old. I closed my eyes and opened
them again thinking that maybe that I was seeing things, but the figure
was still sitting in the chair looking at me or at least looking my way.
I kept getting the distinct impression that I was not wanted in that house.
I closed my eyes again and when opened them again it was gone. Now looking
back after asking Shawn and his family if they entered the room that night
and them saying no as well as the fact that the most squeaky, sticking door
in the house opened silently, I believe I saw a ghost of one of the family
members that lived and died in that house. A family cemetary is only about
3 car lengths away from the house. I am now married to Shawn, and still
visit his parents and that house. I still get the feeling that someone is
watching me at times. I am not the only one who has had experiences in that
house. My husband's paternal grandmother is debilitated by a stroke she
had when my husband was young. She was visiting and she was in the second
upstairs bedroom on a bed. A mirror was on the wall next to the open door.
She saw a female figure walking around in the hallway. She thought it was
her daughter-in-law as she had left the room a few minutes earlier. Shawn's
gramma saw the figure moving outside of the room that I and my parents had
slept in that night back in 1992. When Shawn's gramma asked her daughter-in-law
if she or someone else had been in the hallway, again the answer was no.
I could keep on going with the experiences my husband's family has had in
and around that house. It is not just one isolated experience, but continuous
experiences that still happen to this day. The frequency of the sightings
and experiences have decreased since the renovation has finished, but they
still occur. I believe that the house and land around that Mecklenburg County
home is haunted.
My name is: I am currently attending college for special education.
I am 23 now, married, and live with my husband in Florida near his naval
station as he is in the Navy. I do not have any children yet, but I am an
aunt of 4 lovely children. I have come to have a personal belief in ghosts,
and I am constantly looking for information on them to explain my and my
family's experiences.

Ghostly experience or comment: I have alway believed in ghosts,
apparitions, and strange things that go bump in the night. But, I had never
seen anything for myself. Untill, that one night. I was living with my grandparents
at the time. My grandmother was in Ft. Lauderdale for a few weeks visiting
family. So, it was just me and Grandpa. It was really late. I'd say around
3:00 in the morning. We were both sleeping in our own rooms. Now this is
the strange part. I always lie on my stomach, when I sleep. But for some
reason, I was lying on my back. And suddenly I awoke. Not some strecth,
scratch, and yawn awakening. Just POW, eyes wide open. When my eyes opened,
I saw him. He was real old, and slender. He was bent at the waist, and staring
into my eyes. Almost nose to nose. He was sideways to me. After a few moments,
he just rose up from his position, and walked out of the room. The whole
time he was there, I was not scared. I felt very easy, calm you might say.
But, let me tell you, when he left, that's when I got nervous. I got up
and turned on all the lights. I checked on Grandpa, and as I expected, he
was sound asleep. I know for a fact that it wasnt him. My grandfather is
a big man, and the man that I saw was not. He was a lot more wrinkled as
well. I have not seen nor heard of anything strange happening during the
history of the house. And Thats the first and last time Ive seen anything
of the such.

Ghostly experience or comment: Hi there, This is my story: I lived
in the caribbean until I was 21yrs old. When I was about 17 yrs. I went
to visit a girl I was seeing. Where she lived the streets were not properly
lit, so at around 1am, I left for home. I walked out to the main street
to catch a cab home, after about 2-3mins of waiting I saw a person walking
toward me from across the street, with what seemed to be a white turban
on their head. It was really dark out, and I could hardly recognise who
it was, or their gender. Then the person said, 'how are you doing', still
walking toward me, and then I realised that it was a woman. I said I was
OK, and decided to walk away slowly. She then said,'are you waiting on someone'
and I said yes, a taxi. She then noticed my movements and said, 'why are
you walking away from me?', I said, I was not ( but I really was. I was
sacred shitless)..so I decided to test her. since she was on the same side
of the road as me, I said to myself, If I cross the road and she crosses
also, then she is definately coming after me! ( remember, I still could
not see her face) So i crossed the road and she crossed after me. Now i'm
really sacred, since she keeps on saying,' why am I running away'. So I
picked up the haste as I was really nervous. Just then, I said, OH, look,
there's the headlights to a taxi, and when I looked for her again, she was
gone, in an instant! Apparently lights made her nervous.

Ghostly experience or comment: My husband and I were stationed
in 29 Palms California in 1978 . We had rented a small house out in town.
Often times at night I would wake up to the sound of singing outside of
the house. When I would get up to investigate the singing would end. Checking
outside nobody was visable and no radio's could be heard playing. Many times
our radio would turn off and on by itself. figurines would jump off the
counters or tables. One night as I lay reading a book on the bed, my husband
had emptyied his pockets of change and pens on the bed beside me. He took
his shower and when he came back to the bedroom he asked me what I had done
with his pens and money. It was gone. He pulled down the shade and the pens
and change fell out. In the same bedroom one of the shades were broken the
only way to raise the shade was by manually rolling it up.One day I had
a neighbor that had come over with her little dog Gibby, that day both shades
were drawn in the bedroom , as I went into the kitchen to make some tea,
she asked me if I was in the bedroom, I said no in the kitchen and asked
her why? she said both shades were raising in the bedroom and letting the
sun shine in. We tried to get the dog to go into the bedroom. The dog refused,
it layed in the doorway shaking and growling in a visably empty room, the
room had a definite chill to it. We also had a sunroom that nobody would
sleep in or stay in for any legnth of time because of an uncomfortable feeling,
it was left unused except for storage. After the birth of my oldest daughter
the problems suddenly stopped. I had spoken to the natives around the area
who had told me that the original owner an elderly woman had passes away
in the house. Also had met another individual who had rented the house before
we had , She said that she experienced similar phenomena but was afraid
to say anything for fear of ridicule. As a teenager my family and I lived
in a house that also had unexplained phenomena that occured. My father who
is a natural sceptic and didn't believe in the supernatural had a whole
new look at life after living there but that is another story

Ghostly experience or comment: Well, my grandmother called one
night nd said that my grandfather had died of a heartattack. I was very
sad. Then, when it was time to go to bed, I couldn't sleep, because I couldn't
stop thinking about my grandfather being dead. That night, I looked at the
window and saw my grandfather's face looking through the window. I was so
terrified. At first I thought I was just seeing things, then my covers flew
off of me. It was so scary.

Ghostly experience or comment: Im from Ohio and for as long as
I can remember we have had weird things going on in my house but one thing
happened that really scared me...I was about 13 yrs old on easter night,
my mom was out with her boyfriend and my brother was sleeping in his bedroom.
I just laid down for bed, I remember it was storming out and I was alittle
afraid. I was laying in bed when a human hand (or what felt like a human
hand) grabbed my leg, its like it came from under the bed. Whatever it was
it was under the blankets just holding my leg down, at that point I was
so scared I couldnt move or scream. Finally after what seemed like forever
I got enough courage to hit it, when I hit it I felt it. Anyhow when I hit
it, it seemed to have went back under the bed or else disappeared... after
that happened I slept in my moms room for over a year. I dont think my family
really beleived me, they thought I was dreaming but I know in my heart that
I was fully awake and it wasnt a dream. For some reason most of the weird
things that went on in my house was for me to see. My mom has experienced
a couple weird things but not like me. Later when I got older I began to
have visions and dreams that came true. I would have dreams about the devil
sitting on the edge of my bed and dreams of spirits. Some good dreams but
most were about something evil. I told my mom all of the dreams I would
have and she thinks that something is trying to get to me cuz it seems like
I was the center of all of the strange happenings. Now that I have moved
I havent had any evil dreams or weird things happening yet...Well that is
my strange but true story.

Ghostly experience or comment: One night my sister woke up with
the hair on the back of her neck standing straight on end. She looked around
the room, and when she looked at the door she was left scaried at the sight
she had seen. It was a tall mall figure, dressed in all black, with long
finger nails, and glowing red eyes. And he was pointing at her. Every since
that night 2 years ago there have been many deaths and murders at our school,
and all of them were friends or aquaintances. Everyone who knows the story
thinks it has something to do with the fact that her basement was once a
morge. I believe that too.

Ghostly experience or comment: I do believe in ghosts (now), I
have lived in a haunted home for 12 years. Myself and several others have
witnessed at least three different ghosts in solid form. We have also witnessed
small balls of light going accross the floors. I do indeed have several
photos and a tape recording of the footsteps of the ghost that walks our
hallway, which I believe is an every night event. We have several other
strange events that take place on a regular basis, such as, we have three
yard dogs and we wike up one night to find all three in the house running
around, yet all doors were dead-bolted. How do you figure. They have never
been harmful in any way, just playful at times. I guess thats why we are
still here. I have done a title search back to 1931 and further research
to 1817. Its all very interesting.

Ghostly experience or comment: What I'm about to share with you
happened to my mother when she was just a little girl. My mother is a very
bright, wonderful person and would not lie about such things. My mother
was born and raised in some town near Montgomery, Alabama. Just exaclty
where I cannot remember. Anyway, one spring day she had been walking down
the old dirt road to her home when she heard something behind her. She quickly
turned to face what was behind her, to her surprise it was a very old lady
pulling one of those little red wagons. She said that the old lady had a
pink scarf wrapped tightly around her head and in the wagon there was an
old can of kerosine oil, the oil that they used to use back in the early
days for heating and lighting. Well, the place where my mother lived was
a small town and everyone knew each other, so she had never seen this old
lady before in her life and it had scared her. She began running toward
her home screaming and hollering for her mother. Her mother met her just
outside the house and said, "What's the matter, sweety?" My mother
said, "There's a scary old lady behind me!" Her mother, my grandmother
said, "Why, there isn't anyone out there." My mother turned back
to look and sure enough, no one was there. The strange thing is that on
both sides of the area were cotton fields, wide open space which shows that
there was no place for the old lady to go to. She had just vanished. A little
later on in my mothers life, after she had married and had three children
at the time, my father and her moved into a big two story house somewhere
in Alabama. I was not born at the time. When they had moved in, strange
things begun to happen right away. The first night that they were there,
my father wanted to wait until the next day to lug my brothers bed upstairs,
so my brother slept on the bed next to the banister to the stairs. In the
middle of the night he awoke and tried to get out of bed but couldn't, as
if there were some barrier preventing him from doing so. He couldn't get
out of bed from the other side because it was up against the wall by the
banister. My brother stared intently at what was holding him back. He said
it looked like some kind of milky film forming a barrier. He turned over
in his bed, pulled the covers over his head and could feel the thing staring
at the back of his head all night. When morning came it was gone. Things
began to turn up missing, like scissors, knives, pens, pencils. The really
strange thing is that my mother would usually find these things in an old
shed in the back yard. Of course, this could have been my brothers doings
but sometimes these things would turn up missing while they were at school.
Then there was the old water well. They used water wells back in the early
days to drink of course, but they also used them to keep food cold, since
far down in the well it is very cool. There was a lid that was put on it
after use and was very tight and secure when put on. Somtimes, a member
of my family would go out to find the lid taken off and laying to the side.
When my brother-in-law was a child, he and his younger brother shared a
bunk bed. My brohter-in-law slept on the top bunk. One night he awoke and
was startled to see some strange form coming through the wall next to him.
He finally figured out that it was the form of a baby as if it was still
in the mothers womb. It was in a fetal position, all curled up and it was
as if it was phasing through the wall. My brother-in-law quickly jumped
down off the bed, ran over to the light switch and turned on the light--there
was nothing there any longer. He ran to his mothers room and got her up,
she came back with him to reassure him that he had just had a bad dream.
She turned off the light and there was nothing there. She turned it back
on to get him back in bed and tuck him in. She said goodnight, turned off
the light and went back to bed. Before he could begin to fall asleep, the
baby form began to emerge again from the wall next to him. He just pulled
the cover over his head and laid very still, and then he began to feel a
very cold feeling go right through the mid part of his body. He finally
took a peek from under his blanket to see the fetus floating across the
room and slowly went into the opposite wall. Now, what there is to think
about is that my brother-in-law had an older brother that had died during
birth...and he thinks that was him. Strange indeed. Thanks for listening.

toys. She told me to look at the the wall...I turned my head, and saw the
shadow of a metal knight mask, but the was only a door in the room to make
a shadow...there was not one thing in the room that could have even made
up the shape of a mask like that. We jst stood there and stared in amazement...other

Experience Indpls. Ind., 1907, Grace, age 17 was coming home from a date
with Joe, her husband to be in 1911. They had taken the streetcar to her
house, but because Joe was running late he only walked Grace to her frontgate
and not to the frontdoor, as he usually did. They said their good byes,
and Joe jumped back on the streetcar and left. Grace walked up the long
dark sidewalk that lead to her frontdoor. When she opened the door she saw
a gray casket standing against the right wall in the main enterance area.
She was so scared she walked around it , and ran up the stairs to her mother's
room.She told her mother what see had seen, and they both went downstairs
to see the casket, but nothing was there. Three weeks later they rolled
a gray casket in her house and placed it in the exact place where Grace
had seen it before. Her brother, Leroy, age 21, had died from heart and
Polio problems, and was in the casket.

Milo, and I don't know the story behind his death...or why he haunts still,
20 or 30 years later. My friends were all scared, and I wanted to find this
house during the day...and surprise them at night. I went alone figuring,
"hey! I can scope out the house and yard...and know where I am, while
my friends, have no clue about this place. So, I drove up the paved driveway
and parked/stopped my car. I walked around the house...noticing that all
of the doors, were blocked by items that I sure wasn't able to move! But
the back door, was open.......since I undid the wire. When I walked in,
I had smelt that familiar "old" house smell. Kind of musty air......passing
through each room.....getting stronger as you went further in. I explored,
not noticing anything strange about this place. I thought, it's an old house...and
stories come about all of the time from kids, and friends...trying to spook
as many people as they can. I kind of laughed to myself, thinking of how
much fun it would be to friek out my friends later on that night......and
as I laughed at the idea of it....I went to a doorway near the staircase.
When I opened it, I saw a lot of farm machinery...and wood...even belts
for cars! There was a tree outside the window to this room....slightly rustling
in the wind.....gently tapping against the glass. Something about the noise
of the breeze outside, made me turn to the door leading upstairs. I had
heard from stories, that the door leading upstairs, was always open during
the day.....but always shut at night. There was wire and nails bolted and
tied around the door, not allowing me to get anywhere other than where I
was. When I looked down to the floor....I noticed a very strong, yet thin,
cable. With this cable, I undid the nails.........and when I started to
untie the wiring, I heard loud...slow...footsteps. When I said "hello?"......The
noise suddenly stopped. When I undid all of the wiring, I reached for the
door handle.....and turned it slowly at 1st, but pulling on it after realizing
that it was stuck. The noise that I had heard earlier, had became much louder
now, as I tried to open the door. I questioned "hello".....one
more time, but nothing answered...and the footsteps had stopped echoing
throughout the house called Milos. I looked through the door, where I had
seen that tree........it made little, if any noise, as it blew up against
the house. I knew then, that I had heard him.......and I am somewhat glad
to think that he found me as a friend or someone he could trust. I left
very quickly though.......kind of frightened...my heart beating with excitement
and fear. When I turned back....to take one more look at this house.....I
thought I saw a man looking through an upstairs window.....I am still wondering
if I had actually seen Milo, trapped upstairs haunting whoever disturbes
him.
