The Fish Eater of Stromovka – Prague’s Wanna Be Vampire?

27 June 2025 | Your Stories

A large park called Stromovka in Prague boasts a Fish Eater, a sort of vampire that feasts on the blood of rotting fish but, should you be passing through the park on a moonlit night, may just be tempted to try a drop of human blood too. The Fish Eater was once an aide to a certain General Windischgratz, who held various posts in the Austrian army, but notably was head of the army in Prague. He was apparently a strange man who hailed from an aristocratic family and was in someway related to Count Dracula. He would bathe in the fishponds of the park on moonlit nights imagining himself as the head officer of the fish in the pond who he saw as his soldiers. Unfortunately, he met a

The Haunted School Bathroom: Are Schools Really Haunted?

26 June 2025 | Creepy places, September 2016, Your Stories

When I was 7 years old I used to be scared of going into my school bathroom alone, this is because every time I was in there by myself I would see a young girl standing in the shower. She wore a grey school skirt, long white socks, black shoes, white polo shirt and a jumper. I tried ignoring her for about half a year, as I thought I was going mad because nobody else saw it, but she never moved. I spoke to my mum about it, I was so scared even though the young girl hadn’t moved, and my mom told me to talk to the ghost, I did talk to her, and I asked her to leave me alone, but she did nothing. I saw her constantly throughout

The Disappearing Smoking Ghost: Have You Encountered Anything Like This?

25 June 2025 | Creepy places, September 2016, Your Stories

I worked for a development company that had purchased an entire neighborhood of Victorian homes to renovate and resell. Every home for a two block radius was empty except for the one that I lived in; which was near completion and was going to be used as the model home. One afternoon, I was almost out of cigarettes and decided to walk to a corner store a few blocks away. Keep in mind that this was an out of the way neighborhood, there were no workmen around, all of the homes were vacant, and the entire area was deserted. I had only walked about one block, and was walking looking down at the side walk lost in thought when a few feet ahead of me I heard a voice say

Did The Devil Write This Huge Bible in One Night?

24 June 2025 | Your Stories

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to see this strange document first hand, as it was on display outside of Brno. In fact, what I saw was a copy of the original. Nonetheless, the effect was chilling. The Devil’s Bible or Codex Gigas is 36inches tall by 20 inches wide and about 9 inches thick. It contains a set of Christian texts including the Bible. It is bound in leather with metal trim and weighs over 165 pounds. It is known for the amazing color illustration in its pages of the Devil and that is how it gained its name. Historians believe the text was created in the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice in the Czech Republic in the early 13th century. Now, as if the scale of the Bible

The Haunted Hotel Room!

23 June 2025 | Haunted locations, Your Stories

Five years ago my wife and I decided to take a weekend break. The hotel we chose was a hotel named the Barony Castle hotel on the outskirts of Peebles on the Scottish border. The hotel itself lay in acres of land surrounded by forest. While getting dressed for an evening meal. My wife was sat at the dressing table while I was standing by the bed, when suddenly the Television, which stood on the other side of the room, switched itself on. It stayed on for a few minutes then switched itself off again. It did this about three times. Neither my wife or myself felt fazed by this, until the following morning while we where checking out. The receptionist said to us, “Oh, I see you where in

Haunting Review of a Hotel in Prague on TripAdvisor!

22 June 2025 | Haunted locations, Your Stories

I found this review of a hotel in Prague on Tripadvisor.com while doing research for my next book. I think they posted it to the wrong site! Do you agree? My wife and I stayed at the wonderful Green lobster hotel and we had the first suite on the first floor. The suite was amazing and more than comfortable, we have to say by far the best hotel we have stayed at in our trips to Prague. However we do believe there was a little bit of spiritual activity in the suite to keep us both entertained. Both my wife and I struggle to believe in anything like that, but if it’s in your face you can’t argue can you? The first thing was a light stroking of my face

Battle With Evil on The Doorstep

18 June 2025 | Black Eyed Kids, Your Stories

The BEK stories continue to come in thick and fast. Here is another recently submitted. Each new submission makes it seem like there is a real battle with evil on the doorstep going on…. My encounter started like any other. Some kids came to my door. I was alone in the house, playing video games when this long knock came to the door. I could see through the curtain on the door that it was just some kids, and living in a neighborhood with several families with kids this was nothing out of the ordinary. Yet before I even opened the door I began to feel extremely wary. I opened it to find two boys, around twelve or thirteen, standing on my porch. The Taller boy had knocked, the smaller

Halloween Nightmare

17 June 2025 | Haunted locations, Your Stories

In October of 1971, some friends of mine told me about the old Confederate cemetery across the river from Fort Smith, Arkansas, in the small town of Lavaca. Trying to frighten me, because I am from Michigan, they challenged me to go to the cemetery on Halloween night. With me driving and my friends giving me the directions, off we went to Lavaca to see the “ghosts” of the Civil War. The cemetery was right next to this small white church that we had to drive down a narrow lane between orchards to get to. There was a clock, on a timer in the steeple that gonged for every hour. That Halloween night, when the clock struck twelve, the clock gonged thirteen times not twelve. When I looked over to

Photo of Doppelganger Causes Health Issues?

16 June 2025 | Doppelgangers, Your Stories

I posted on Reddit a while ago asking if anyone had had experiences with doppelgangers. To my surprise, I got several responses most of which I have already posted here. This is the last story of a doppelganger encounter from that source but it’s a creepy one…. Imagine, sitting in a restaurant and this happens! Years ago, I was out eating dinner at a local Carabbas restaurant with my mom. The large party table across from ours had a small girl around the age of 4 or 5 who two or three times walked over and called me “sissy” and wanted to sit in my lap. I didn’t think anything of it until her grandmother walked over. She apologized politely but hesitantly, and explained that I just so happened to

Time Warp Terror?

15 June 2025 | Time warp, Your Stories

One night my friend and I were walking in Des Moines. We were walking. We were half-way to his house when suddenly I was standing outside of a huge skyscraper building in, what I now believe to be Detroit. I then entered the building and there was a lady with kind of platinum blonde hair. Her clothes didn’t look odd or anything. She told me that I was on time for my appointment, so I followed her to an elevator. We stepped inside and she pushed the button for the 53rd floor. When we got out of the elevator, I followed her to some office. The walls and the floor were done in a decorative business-like way. We got to the door and she told me to go in and

A Last Visit

13 June 2025 | Your Stories

This happened sometime in the 90s. I was engineering manager at the time. In my position, I dealt with quite a lot of sales reps. One in particular was a gentleman whose name was Jack Heaps. This particular morning as I drove to work, I can remember thinking that it was a horrible very rainy and windy day. Later that day, I was informed that Jack had been killed in a collision with an articulated lorry that had Jackknifed across the road. Some weeks later, another manager from another company had decided to go into work earlier, just to check on the heating as it was winter. When he arrived at work, he found Jack there sat in his car. He asked Jack why he was there so early, but

Ghostly Home Invaders Spook Family

12 June 2025 | Haunted houses, Your Stories

Shortly after my husband and I moved into the house that we lived in for 18 years with our 2 small sons and my thirteen year old daughter, we went grocery shopping and took our boys with us. When we got home, my daughter was in quite a panic, because she had thought the house was being burglarized. While we were gone she heard what sounded like teenage boys running up the stairs talking to each other (her room was on the third floor). We could find no indication that anyone had broken in and the doors and windows were still locked. Four years later, my husband and the boys were camping for the weekend, and my daughter was staying at a friend’s house. I was awoken at 3:00 AM

A Hooded Beast Stalks a 5-Year Old

11 June 2025 | Your Stories

In the summer of 1978 I was five or six years old and living with my grandparents. I often played in an open field right next to my grandparents’ house. One day, while playing there alone I got bored and decided to go inside the house. For some reason that I can’t remember, when I got to the front steps of the house, I looked back to the spot where I had been playing before. To my surprise, there was this thing standing there. It was wearing a long, black robe with a hood over its head, and the sleeves covered its hands. If the figure had hands it wasn’t entirely clear. The creature, whatever it was, was completely solid. It was looking out toward the river. I was only

The Demon on the Doorstep: Another Encounter with a Black-Eyed Kid

10 June 2025 | Black Eyed Kids, Your Stories

This happened to me a couple of years ago. I had just moved out of my parents’ house and was living in a house in New Jersey. I was home one night watching TV and had the porch door open. It was getting later and I kept thinking about closing it. I got up to close up the house for the night and my dog started growling, which turned into barking. He was going crazy at the porch door, but wasn’t going outside to investigate. I looked over and a boy was standing there. He was about twelve and didn’t say anything. He just stood staring at me. I asked him who he was and he didn’t say anything. I asked again and he just looked at me and asked

The Hooded Figure That Haunted My Childhood!

09 June 2025 | Haunted houses, Your Stories

Years ago, as a child, I too had an experience with a hooded figure, but since I had a lot of nightmares, I was told that I hadn’t really seen anything. I slept in the same room as my parents. One night, I woke up to a dark hooded figure standing beside my bed looking down at me. Of course, I started to scream. This figure turned and walked away; only to disappear before getting out of the room. After my parent’s jumped out of bed, they calmed my fears by telling me it was just another one of my dreams. I fell back to sleep only to wake up to this thing standing beside me again, bent over looking down at me. Again I screamed, and again my parents
