My First Spooky Experience

09 April 2026 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

When I was almost four, my mom invited my aunt and cousin over to our house. I was excited to see my cousin as I would have someone to play with. I didn’t hear them arrive but mom called out to let me know my cousin was there. I left my bedroom at the end of the hallway and ran into the living room to see my mom, aunt, cousin, and several other people. She and I quickly decided to go to my room and on the way, she asked me who everyone else there was. I told her I didn’t know. Eventually, we’re bored so we go back to our moms and I think it’s weird that our moms are watching TV with all of these people around. I

08 April 2026 | February 2018, Your Stories

Some of the creepiest places in the world are ones that were originally meant to help people; hospitals and asylums are magnets for paranormal activity, possibly because of the trauma and suffering that have occurred within their walls.

Haunted Lehigh, Oklahoma

07 April 2026 | Your True Encounters

When I visited Lehigh, Oklahoma with my mom, dad and sister, I was about 12 years old. What I remember about this desolate place is that the land is filled with chiggers. My legs had bites all over them. I remember seeing water snakes in the strippets made by coal miners. Strippets are large holes in the ground created by past coal miners. I remember capturing a land turtle and after playing with this turtle for about 2 hours, I released it back in the grasslands. My dad was born and raised in Lehigh. His mother Sophie Roberts was known as the Angry French Woman. My cousin Paul Leaird at one time was the mayor of Lehigh, Oklahoma, after his tour in Vietnam with the 1st Cavalry Division. When I

The Haunting of Hecker Pass / Hwy 152

05 April 2026 | January 2018, Your Stories

Nestled between Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties in California, west of Gilroy and east of Watsonville, is a mountain pass known as Hecker Pass. U.S. Highway 152 runs right through it. And they say that if you drive on that stretch of road late at night, you would do well not to stop on your way through, because there is a paranormal apparition there who just might decide that your soul looks like a tasty midnight snack. Local legends, which date all the way back to the mid-1800s, state that there is a woman in a “white frilly dress” who haunts the area, and who sometimes attacks those who pass by in the middle of the night. Unlike many haunted locations, however, this one does not appear to have a backstory (or if it does, no

03 April 2026 | January 2018, Your Stories

An Irish priest and exorcist is asking the country’s bishops for more support after noticing a dramatic increase in demonic activity in the country. In a recent interview with The Irish Catholic, Fr. Pat Collins said he has been overwhelmed with the number of requests for exorcisms from the faithful in Ireland. In an open letter, he has urged the Irish bishops to train more priests to deal with the demand. “(I)t’s only in recent years that the demand has risen exponentially,” Collins told The Irish Catholic. Collins’ comments are on par with those of other exorcists throughout the world, including the International Association of Exorcists (IAE), a group of 400 Catholic leaders and priests, which has reported a dramatic increase in demonic activity in recent years. In 2014, the

Cruel Dad

03 April 2026 | Bizarre, Phone Calls from the dead

My Mother-in-Law passed away recently. She was extremely ill with cancer and right before she died they suspected he had a second case of cancer too. She was quite young at 68 and was comatose for the last few days of her life in the hospital. The morning she died my father-in-law was tending to her and trying to keep her comfortable. Her mobile phone rang and she ignored it as she was busy. Within three hours my mother-in-law died and a few days later he checked his voicemail messages. What he heard really startled him, and later startled me. He only played me the message a few weeks ago. All you can hear is this strange breathing sound and blowing noises and static. It starts slowly and grows rapid,

The Hag Who Haunts A British Haunted House

02 April 2026 | January 2018, Your Stories

This is the terrifying moment a brave volunteer was filmed in Britain’s ‘most haunted house’ – and appeared to turn into a witch. Paranormal investigator Brad Mac was astonished to see a colleague of his – known only as Debbie – ‘transform’ into the hag while he and five others spent the night at The Cage, in St Osyth village in Essex. The property served as a prison for those convicted of witchcraft in the Elizabethan era. And Debbie certainly seemed to channel its witchy history as hidden camera footage shows her changing in front of our very eyes: her nose becomes strangely pointed, her eyes darken, with a malevolent glint – and her mouth seems to stretch into a ‘Joker-like’ grimace.

Littel Sailor Boy

01 April 2026 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

On a hot sunny summer morning, halfway up the mountainside, opposite the Macbeth arms near Alford in Aberdeenshire, a small boy dressed in Victorian sailor suite came skipping along past me. He looked a real. Except that he was sort of lit up, kind of glowing, and so clean. He passed between a co worker and myself. I couldn’t break my gaze and just stood there gob struck.The lad wasn’t touching the ground and effortlessly swept past. Where had he come from?. There’s nothing but empty mountain for miles above us. Where was he going?. It’s along way to the road. He was way to young to be out here on his own. Did you see that? Charlie. The lad had passed between us. I asked my co-worker. See what?

So this isn’t very long, but I was at my mum’s friends house and was staying the night and before I went to bed I was sitting on this big, super heavy rocking chair. At about 3.30 am, I woke up to a huge thump and went to investigate and the rocking chair that was in the living room the night before was in the 2nd spare bedroom and then I felt something brush past me so I turned around and standing there was a young boy. He waved at me and then vanished. Submitted by Samantha Bradley Originally posted 2018-01-25 13:54:38.

I am part of a group that meets at a new age style business, recently another woman had joined the group, from the beginning, I could not warm to her. She seriously creeped me out, but I kept my feelings to myself. Before too long others started voicing the same opinions. Couldn’t put my finger on it, was it the creepy grin she often had, the way she tried elevating herself above the group, or what? One night after our meeting, we were chatting in the gift shop area of the business when she walked through, I glanced up in time to catch sight of a crouched figure in one of the aisles, it was bald with long limbs, it reminded of Gollum. Its skin was grey, blotchy and looked

UFO in my front yard

27 March 2026 | Your True Encounters

This is my first time ever submitting something like this let alone telling this story. There are only a few people that have heard this story mostly due to me being afraid of being thought of as crazy or people not believing that this story is true. In the early nineties, when I was about 11 years old, I lived in Gulfport Mississippi. On one particular night my parents and I were returning home, roughly about 6:00 pm from having dinner at one of the recently developed casinos. Once home, Mom and dad headed inside while I decided to play outside a bit. As I was pointlessly hitting a tree with a stick, as most boys do, I heard a humming sound behind me. I turned around to see where
