The Shadow At The Bottom of my Bed

07 July 2025 | Haunted houses, Your Stories

In 1998, I was 14 and was spending the summer with a friend and her family in Idaho. At first, everything was perfect and I was very happy sleeping alone in my own room on the third floor. Five nights into my stay though, I started to wake up every night. Standing in front of me, at the foot of my bed, stood a man looking down at me. I couldn’t really see anything. All I saw was a bright white outline and it looked like he had a hat on his head. He would just stand there and stare at me. I would just turn around and stare at the wall and hope he would disappear. I never turned around to see if he had gone away. Eventually I

A Paranormal Intruder Drives A Family From Their Home

05 July 2025 | Audible Activity, Haunted houses, Your Stories

One night, when I was twelve-years old, I had left my bedroom window open all night as our house didn’t have any kind of air conditioning and it was very warm. At around two in the morning, I heard a very loud husky voice speak to me. I looked out of the window, but saw absolutely nobody out there. I remember thinking that I was just dreaming. The next day, I woke up very late in the afternoon and in the hospital. My parents said that they had found me unconscious outside on the lawn at 4am in the morning after hearing a loud bang. The bang they’d heard was me jumping off the shed. The funny thing is, is that there is no way to get on the roof

The Tapping Ghost of Manchester.

30 June 2025 | Haunted houses, Your Stories

This story takes place in Manchester, United Kingdom. It happened when I was a child around six years old, so 1986. I was at the family home with my mum dad and older brother Paul. Paul and I used to share a bunk bed, with him on bottom and me on the top. I used to sleep with a clip-on lamp on my right hand side. One night I awoke to a tapping on my shoulder — fast taps… one two three. It woke me almost instantly, so I turned on the lamp to see why my brother was harassing me at this time of the night. When I looked down, he was asleep — or pretending, I thought. Growing up, we were always playing pranks on each other. I

Awakened by Ghostly Rapping on the Window

20 June 2025 | Haunted houses

The first house we lived in was alive with spirits. My parents didn’t like to mention it—but it was. I was probably 4 at the time when I first noticed it. We were having a family reunion at our house and had the whole family over. Lots of food, lots of play and lots of fun to be had with my cousins. I remember being tired and wanting to go to sleep just when the sun went down, so I went to my room and fell asleep. The party was still going on downstairs. I woke up to someone knocking at my window, but it wasn’t a polite knock. It was like pounding with urgency. I didn’t think anything of it except that it was probably one of my cousins

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

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

Could Your School Be Haunted? An Experience of the Paranormal From A Teacher

27 May 2025 | Creepy places, Haunted houses, Haunted locations, Your Stories

Ever since I qualified as a teacher I have been had some very interesting paranormal experiences inside school buildings. One building was reputed to be haunted by quite a few ghosts and there were a lot of cold spots—especially in the gym where a murder was said to have taken place. However, the story I am submitting today is rather strange. In this particular school, we usually had twenty to thirty students per class. My classroom that day was quite spacious for us and on my left were the door and narrow window. I had a few jokers in this class that day that kept on annoying each other, so while I was writing on the board, I was keeping an eye on their reflections, too. At first, I was

The Boy With No Eyes!

24 May 2025 | Haunted houses

When we moved into our house we already knew that a lady that had lived there had passed away in the house. When we moved in, we did some updates to the house. Our daughter and her family moved in with us when they fell on hard times. We told them they could move upstairs since it was 2 big rooms up there. One night, the son in law came down to use the restroom – it was around 3:00 in the morning – there stands this boy half asleep and he’s thinking it’s our grandson so he goes to pat him on top of his head and his hand went right through the boy. He freaks out and runs out of the door in the middle of winter. Took

Shadows and Noises Haunt My Home

23 May 2025 | Haunted houses

This short description of experiencing living in an undoubted haunted house was submitted by s respondent to our supernatural survey. Take the survey too and win an audiobook – see below for details…. Long story short. I lived in a normal house about 9 years ago but experienced some very strange things there. I would hear footsteps on the stairs in front of my room when nobody was at home. Sometimes I WOULD see a shadow under my door and when I opened it, no one was there. Even my Mom heard the rumbling on our attic, which was a renovated hobby room and open to the rest of the house. One day I saw a shadow figure walking by my window and my room was in the first floor.

Welcome to our (Haunted) House!

20 May 2025 | Haunted houses

We live in a (very) haunted farmhouse in Scotland, UK! We moved into our house around eleven years ago. It’s remoteness is what attracted us initially and the views from the windows to the open fields and mountains beyond. Almost as soon as we moved in, we heard noises during the night and just assumed we had prowlers around the land, maybe poachers looking for rabbits or deer. We would arm ourselves and head off outside to confront whomever was there, but never found anyone. Eight months passed and one night while we were in bed asleep, there was an almighty commotion coming from downstairs. We rushed downstairs and as per usual we headed outside, it was only when we came back inside we noticed the cause. A large brass

The Dark Man in the Corner

13 January 2025 | Haunted houses, Shadow people, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

When I was young, I always wondered what it was like to experience the paranormal or anything of some sorts. By the time I reached adolescence, I had started to experience some paranormal activity.. due to my grandfather dying a couple of months before I turned 13. “Come down stairs lily” – said my mom I went down and asked her whats wrong…little did I known it would be a start of a new chapter in my life… As I arrived into the living room, my mom was breathing uncontrollably. “I saw him, He’s here!” I looked at my mom wondering why she was saying “him” and who was she referring to. I sat down and asked her ” what do you mean by him?” “Your grandfather he’s here, he

Ghosts Can Hurt You!

28 October 2024 | Audible Activity, Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

In December 2009, I was living with a boyfriend and my dad would occasionally come stay with me. Before moving in, we were living across the street with friends in their apartment. They had warned us of apartment 22, our friend Shane, said he could sometimes see and talk to spirits. He said the ghost in the apartment we were moving into was not a nice one. He said this ghost had taken their life in the apartment, and had other spirits under their control there. Once we moved in, immediately strange things started to happen. My cat would always stare at the corners of the room, up in the ceiling. I figured he was watching a black shadow figure I had seen sitting on the couch one night after

The Uninvited Guest

07 August 2024 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

After our experiences at The Foundry, my family and I thought we might find some respite in our mountain home. The house was sprawling, with a self-contained apartment downstairs, and we often enjoyed hosting gatherings there. Little did we know, our mountain retreat would soon become the stage for another series of inexplicable events. It was a warm summer’s day when we decided to throw a party, inviting friends and neighbors over for a barbecue. As the day mellowed into evening, I found myself in conversation with a neighbor, my gaze fixed on the downstairs apartment behind him. That’s when I first noticed it – a brown, shadowy figure darting back and forth inside the apartment at an unnaturally high speed. I knew the apartment was empty, which made the

Did I Just See a Ghost?

28 May 2024 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Last night, something really strange happened. I was sitting in the living room, just watching TV, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a shadow move. At first, I thought it was just a trick of the light or maybe my cat. But when I looked over, there was nothing there. I shrugged it off and went back to my show. A little while later, I felt this sudden chill in the room, like a cold draft, even though all the windows were closed. I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It was an eerie feeling, like someone was watching me. I tried to ignore it, but then I heard a soft whisper. It was so faint I couldn’t make out
