Halloween Case #2: Can A Ghost Move Into Your House?

15 January 2026 | Haunted houses, Haunted items, Haunted locations, Your Stories

  This October we are going to bring you some of the most interesting #true paranormal cases we can find. You can discover more true, terrifying accounts of the paranormal right here. I live in a newly built house. To my knowledge there have been no deaths on this plot of land. There have been no graveyards in this area. My phone has been randomly turning off a lot lately. I’ll turn it on for a few minutes, and then it just turns off-the batteries fully charged and everything. I don’t know what’s wrong. Same with my laptop, only it won’t turn on until you’ve tried it at least five times. I also feel an unknown presence everywhere in my house, but it’s the strongest in my room. I have absolutely

Halloween Case #1: The Strange Case of the Haunted Montana House

14 January 2026 | October 2017, Your Stories

This October we are going to bring you some of the most interesting #true paranormal cases we can find. You can discover more true, terrifying accounts of the paranormal right here. Thank you for accepting my submission to your site. We have lived in the same house for many years. It was left to my parents by my grandparents and has been a content home. Although we have been very happy here there have been many unexplained occurrences that I can’t explain. The first time I remember this house being different was during my childhood. I was around five or six when I first saw the “shining lady.” A lady who appeared at the bottom of my bed as a silver angel. She wouldn’t talk or move—she just stared at

A Ghostly Maintenance Man

13 January 2026 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This happened all in the first month or two when I first moved into my apartment back in November and December of 2012. There were three occasions where I’m pretty sure I had a strange experience. When the first experienced happened, I was in bed and it must’ve been early, around eight o’clock A.M. I was woken up by the sound of someone pacing back and forth from my front door all the way to the middle of my hallway, which happens to be just across from my bedroom, and I could hear a faint male voice mumbling. I couldn’t quite make out what the voice was saying for some reason, but I I remember it sounded as though they were wearing wind pants and pacing quickly, three times. I

The Old Hag – Experiences

12 January 2026 | Old hag, Your Stories

I posted on Facebook looking for people who had experienced the Old Hag – here are a few of the replies… I’ve experienced sleep paralysis three times in my life, one very recently. It came immediately after I experienced dream looping, where I have this ground hog day effect, and I can’t wake up. In my dream, I dream that I’m dreaming and then wake up to find that I haven’t woke at all and this starts looping into a weird cycle. Once I wake, truly wake, I’ll have a physical paralysis and I can’t move yet everything is, like being drunk. This last time was bad. I actually threw up afterwards. I’ve been inquiring on dream walking, feeling that somehow there is a connection. I wonder if the paralysis

The Haunted Toy Phone

11 January 2026 | Phone Calls from the dead, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I have one paranormal experience to submit. This one took place many, many years ago when we lived in Detroit, MI. This happened when I was about five or six years old. My sister and I were in our shared bedroom one night, and I was playing with a plastic toy phone. I said hello into the receiver and clearly heard an older man’s voice say hello back to me. The voice wasn’t creepy or weird at all. it sounded like the normal way anyone would say hello. I was still terrified, of course, and ran to tell my parents. I even asked my dad if he’d just said, ‘Hello,’ but he hadn’t. As I got older, I kept trying to tell myself that it was just the normal active

Slender Man Outside Our Window

10 January 2026 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

When we first moved to the area back in the mid 1980’s, we were told some creepy stories that I presumed to be nothing more than old southern folklore. We weren’t there for even a year when we experienced our first paranormal experience. My older daughter came running into my room late one night and told me she had heard something strange and thought someone was standing outside her bedroom window. She said she was almost asleep when she heard something tapping on her end of the house and then the window. As I explained earlier, this was an old neighborhood, so the chances of it being some teenage kid messing around were very small. Her bedroom light was off so we crept over to her window and after adjusting

Vodnik – The Czech Evil Water Sprite

09 January 2026 | Demons, Your Stories

One of the most famous characters in Czech fairy tales is a water sprite called “vodník” or “hastrman”. You can see him anywhere close to water and he embodies the spirit of water. He is usually depicted as green man riding on a catfish. He has green hair, bulging eyes and water is dripping from his coattails. He is usually described as an evil spirit that likes to harm people and who catches inexperienced swimmers in order to gain their soul. He is very resourceful when it comes to catching souls and will use ribbons and small mirrors to lure girls into the water, for example. He can also change himself into all kinds of animals such as a horse. But if somebody tries to ride him while he is

Not A Customer!

08 January 2026 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This is my friend’s story. There is a Japanese crab restaurant and she works there as a part-timer. After she had worked there for a while, she heard many strange stories about the restaurant. The stories are about two ghosts that are there. One day, one of the employees she knew saw a man entering the kitchen. He had never seen the man before, so he assumed he was a customer. He wondered, “What is he doing going into the kitchen?” So he told the owner about it. “Oh, he’s not a customer”, the owner said. “He’s a ghost. We see him all the time.” The owner didn’t look scared at all. “He’s often here walking around,” he said. The other story is about a woman wearing a kimono. Some

The Quarry in Winter

06 January 2026 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I walk my dog four times a day, whatever the weather or time of year. It gives both of us exercise but also gives me time to think, away from the burden of the home and its distractions. Our rambles around the small English country village in which we live, rarely follow the same route. There is much to see in Kent, and the little village of Charing has some real ancient gems if one is prepared to search for them. The village can claim to be over a thousand years old, having seen settlements from the iron age, through the Saxons and Romans into the medieval period, and right up to the present day. The high street is beautiful, meandering up The Hill past the historic market place, palace

My Mother’s Cat

05 January 2026 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I went to the US recently for my mother’s funeral. She was a great lady and she will be missed by many, but she lived a good long joyful life and died at the age of 92, so we can be happy she lived a good life. Two days after the funeral, I was sleeping on the couch in the living room of the family home. My sisters and in-laws and nephews were all sleeping in the bedrooms upstairs. For some reason, I was wide awake and couldn’t sleep. The shutters on the windows were all wide open, as my mother had liked to keep them, and I closed them, as I didn’t like the idea of anyone being able to look in and see my sleeping. Just then, the

The Sinister Dark Shadows That Haunt My Life

04 January 2026 | August 2017, Your Stories

I have never been a religious person. Of course, I believe in a power that makes us who we are, that helps us and that is fighting to protect us from ‘the other world.’ I have never been skeptical about the things that others find strange. I have always been interested in finding out what lies beyond our realm of being. I truly believe in ghosts or any supernatural beings. The first time I had a paranormal experience was during my childhood. I can still remember it very clearly. I went with my grandmother to visit her sister. When we arrived at her house I saw a silhouette made of steam that talked to me. I tried to forget this experience because I was too young and maybe my imagination

The Return of the Living Dead

03 January 2026 | August 2017, Your Stories

This incident took place in the mid 1980’s. My mother died suddenly just a few weeks before this all took place. We were not terribly close as my parents had gotten a divorce during the 70’s. I was living with my boyfriend at his apartment. It was getting dark outside, and I had to go get my boyfriend from work at eight. I planned on cleaning and finishing my housework. I bent down to pick up something I’d dropped and standing back up I saw as clear as day, my mother just sitting in the corner of my hallway outside our bedroom. I only saw her for a split second. I even second guessed if I was seeing things, but it was just too real for me to conclude that

The Tugging Ghost of Alabama

02 January 2026 | August 2017, Creepy places, Your Stories

This morning I felt my hair being pulled. I normally experience this only in my house. It especially happens in my room, home office, and kitchen, and it always seems to happen while I’m alone. Today I felt two tugs at my hair while I was in my room. I had been trying to sleep and then out of nowhere I felt a tug. I have medium length hair so at one point I thought it was just static or my hair getting caught on something. But then I noticed it happening more often. There was one time when I was alone, listening to music in my room and I felt a tug. Whatever was tugging at my hair pulled my hair so hard that a strand broke off. I

The Terrifying Vision of a Hanging Man

01 January 2026 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Where I grew up we had a lot of empty lots. I remember one of them had a huge tree growing in the centre of the lot. Actually, it was very jungle-like and overgrown. My mother and I would often go past that lot when we went grocery shopping. One day we were walking next to that land and I suddenly saw, what looked like a man, hanging from one of the branches. He was wearing a white shirt and a white pants. It was not clear because he was little transparent and I didn’t see his face clearly. He did nothing but hanging there. Surprisingly I didn’t get scared at all so I told my mother that I saw a hanging man on the tree and she looked and

The Phone Call

31 December 2025 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This is my friend’s story. His mother told him this story, which happened when he was a baby, about three or four years old. One day, he was playing with a toy with his mother. Then he said he heard the telephone ringing and picked up the receiver and began talking into it. His mother had not heard any ringing from the phone and was sure he was just playing with the telephone. After talking into the phone for several minutes, he hung up and said, “Mom, that was grandmother. She said to tell you goodbye.” At that moment, the phone rang for real. His mother answered the phone and she was surprised. It was the unexpected news that his grandma had just died. (Name withheld by request) Taken from
