My Haunted Life Too

Shouting at a Ghost

22 March 2025 | April 2016

One night in my late teens, after an evening out with a girlfriend, we went to my house for a coffee. My family was away so there was just the two of us there. I had experienced a lot of strange activity in that house but this particular evening was one of the strangest. After making the coffee, we went into the front room and switched on the TV. We had just settled down when we both heard the front door open and close. We looked at each other puzzled and then I got up and checked in the hallway. There was no one there. A quick check of the door showed it was still locked with the key inside the lock. I returned to the living room and sat

I Couldn’t Stay

21 March 2025 | April 2016

Yesterday, I checked into a Hotel in the Netherlands and was given a room. The room initially looked good. It was very large and furnished in a period style. I took off my coat and began to unpack. However, I hear a sound that was a cross between a tapping and a dripping sound. It seemed to emanate from an big old closet standing in the corner of the room. I went to the closet and listened but it was the sort of noise that you cannot seem to trace. I opened the closet and it stopped. Thinking perhaps it was from next door or the heating, I resumed unpacking. However, when I closed the closet, the noise started again. By now, I was puzzled and I investigated that closet

The Ex’s Flowers

19 March 2025 | April 2016

When I first met my current partner, he told me some very strange tales about his life and about real magic. Some of the stories he told me were really strange – things that moved, pictures falling off walls around him, that sort of thing. I thought it wonderful talk, but that was about it. A couple of weeks later, my ex, who wanted me back, bought me some flowers. They were pretty and although I had no intention of going back to him, I put them in a vase and positioned the vase next to the roses my partner had bought me in another vase. I told my partner about this who was several thousand miles away at the time on a trip. By the way, I didn’t own

A View Of A Lake

18 March 2025 | April 2016

My story centers around the residence of my first older cousin. The house my cousin currently lives in has a history that still lives in the house. Prior to moving, my cousin did not live too far from his present location and he was in the process of relocating when a view of a lake came to him in a dream back into 2000. The house is situated across from a water treatment plant and the second floor of the house that my cousin lived has a balcony with a view of the lake. An older woman who owned the house and whom my cousin also looked out for lived on the first floor until her death. African Americans could not stay in hotels in certain cities at the time

Something Strange Is Going On In My House

17 March 2025 | April 2016

I heard my faucet in my bathroom room, not completely turned on, but a steady stream. I never use that bathroom; I use the big bathroom attached to my bedroom. I woke up sweating this morning. The AC switch was actually cut off. As soon as I turned it on it was working fine. Then my CD player started playing. But it was playing music from years ago—not the CD in the player. I went over to it and although the singing was loud, and clear, the actual CD inside the player was not spinning. I turned it off, turned around, walked to the kitchen, heard something in living room, walked back in, and my CD player was open. Again I truly thought I was losing it. This activity starts

The Ghost In The Clock

16 March 2025 | March 2016

Here is a short story from my book – Ghosts in the Machines. When still just a girl, the lady recounting the story had visited her grandmother’s neighbors house together with her grandmother. At some point, she needed to go to the bathroom and on the way back, she noticed the huge ornate grandfather clock. Something like steam seemed to be emanating from the clock and, as she watched innocently, this steam materialized into the outline of a man. The man was nice and spoke to her kindly and, at the time, she wasn’t afraid at all. On returning to the living room she told her grandmother about the clock and the man and took the two astonished older ladies into the hall. Of course, there was nothing there but

The Gates To Hell?

15 March 2025 | Creepy places, March 2016

Out in the middle of nowhere about 60km north of Prague sits a strange castle. No one is sure when it was first built nor why. It was not on any trade route, it wasn’t near water, it wasn’t defending anything except a remote hillside far off the beaten track. Even more mysteriously, the castle is often omitted from maps of the region and its origins – unlike most castles in the Czech Republic – are not well known. Originally, it seems, travelers passing through the region were subjected to visitations of demons and strange creatures in the vicinity. Back in the 900’s, one can well imagine how remote this location would have been and how frightening the dark forest would have been. Strange creatures such as the left-handed female

The Haunted Cemetery of Walnut Mound

14 March 2025 | March 2016

On the 13th Oct 2014, I was on holiday in Chicago to meet my old friend Ron. I stayed with him for some days and then we went to meet another old friend, Jake, in Viroqua, a small town nearby. Ron and I went to meet him to celebrate his 16th Birthday 16th and Halloween. We lived very well in Jake’s house, it was big and his room was full of gaming equipment. We nicely celebrated his birthday with a huge party given by him and his parents for his friends and family on the 24th Oct. We travelled to lots of places near Viroqua up to the 30th Oct., but due to some business meeting, his parents had to go to go out on 30th Oct to Chicago for

Ghostly Hand Prints

13 March 2025 | March 2016

While serving in the Army, stationed at Ft. Hood, I had a huge life-changing experience. I had just arrived from Germany and some guys I spent time with at home wanted to show me around. They talked about a place where strange things happened. We went one night to a place out in the country between a Cove off of Hwy 190, which they said was a strange place to spend time. Apparently the story behind the place was that a load of children were travelling on a bus, the bus ran off a large bridge on the road and the bodies were never recovered. We parked a few hundred feet from this bridge on this single lane road and they poured baby powder on the back of the car.

A Very Haunted House

12 March 2025 | March 2016

Back in the 1970’s, when I was 10 years old, my dad and his second wife, along with her two kids all moved into a house together. The house was in a pretty rundown part of town that was not far from Dearborn in Michigan. From the very first time I stepped into that house I knew it wasn’t right. Dad and I were in the house together, just a few days before we moved in. Dad was measuring the place up and we were working out where the furniture would go. I was hanging around in the bathroom on the lower level and dad was in the garage. I heard knocking on the wall and it seemed to be coming from the kitchen. I thought it was Dad—but when

A Peeing Ghost In The Bathroom?

10 March 2025 | March 2016

We we’re staying at a small hotel in the Lake District of England. My husband and I were asleep in the room but something woke me up. I watched the shadow of a tall figure walk into the bathroom and then listened to someone pee in the toilet. I thought it was my husband at first but then when no one came out of the bathroom, I felt across the bed and found my husband still lying there asleep. Weird huh? A peeing ghost in the bathroom?

50,000 Dead People Piled Floor to Ceiling

09 March 2025 | Creepy places, March 2016

In 2001, a startling discovery was made in Brno during a survey of catacombs under the center of the city. Although disturbed by underground water and mud, the remains of 50,000 people were found stuffed in a small room. The room was floor to ceiling with the skeletal remains of the City’s former inhabitants. After restoration work, the Brno Ossuary was opened to the public in 2012 ands is the second largest Ossuary in Europe after the Paris catacombs. So how did they get there? In the 16th and 17th Century, due to cholera, the Plague, war and so on, people tended to die in large number s periodically. They were buried in the churchyard near the Church of St. James inside the city walls however, to cater for such

Brno’s Strange and Creepy Mummy Show

08 March 2025 | Creepy places, March 2016, Your True Encounters

Here in Brno is one of the creepiest places I have ever visited. It is known as the Capuchin Crypt. On the outside, it is nothing but yet another small but ornate church but inside…….. It is Brno’s strange and creepy mummy show…. The Capuchin monks who used the church for many years were an order who vowed poverty. As a part of this austerity program, they used just a single coffin over and over again, laying the body of their dead colleague on the ground, rosary in hand, in the crypt. Due to the nature of the soil and the air currents down there, the bodies became mummified. Each body was laid on the floor with its head on a pile of bricks that served as a pillow. The

Is My House Haunted?

07 March 2025 | March 2016, Uncategorized

Several years ago, I moved into a four-bedroom house that my brother had just vacated. After a few weeks, strange things started to happen. At first, I thought I could always see a little girl’s shadow following my oldest son, who was 11. My second youngest son, who was eight at the time, slept in a room alone. There was always a strange presence in the room when we walked into it. She also owned a doll, and every time at around 2pm it started talking on its own, even when it was turned off. Many times when I left my bedroom door, I could hear people talking, and I would see strange lights on my door. They seemed to be the kinds of lights you would get if the
