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

Technical Glitch or A Ghost In The Machine?

08 June 2025 | Audible Activity, Your Stories

It has been quite a while since we last got a ‘ghost in the machine’ type encounter from our readers. However, yesterday, we did receive this story – technical glitch or ghost in the machine? You decide! Over the past three nights, I have had some recurring and very odd “calls” on my cell phone. The first happened early in the morning at half-past four. I was lying in bed sleeping with my phone on placed beside me on a nightstand as I was on-call for work. At the above mentioned time, my cell phone rang 3 times. I struggled to find the phone in the darkness, but eventually did. I flipped it over to look at it and it was as if no-one had called. Usually two notifying icons

Parallel Universes? Time Travel? Hallucination? You decide!

07 June 2025 | Your Stories

This story came in last week. It is a bit different to the usual kind of encounter we receive and yet compelling. What was this person experiencing? While I was on the tube train heading for the above-ground train station where I always caught my train home, I experienced an odd event. I was sitting on a very crowded train and suddenly there was a bright flash of light, and I found myself back on the train I had taken in the morning to get to work. I remember this because of the Korean, or Chinese tourist sitting opposite me – he was not there on my ride home. As the train stopped at my station, I left, as I had done in the morning, and checked my watch. It

Vacation of Death

06 June 2025 | Doppelgangers, Your Stories

The world is a strange place and so many people experience this strangeness once or twice in their lives. Take for example, this story sent in via email last week. Was this simply her imagination playing tricks with her? If so, where did the power that compelled her to enter the water come from? Or, as she suspects, was it her daughter’s doppelganger luring her to a premature end on the vacation of death? As a family, we love the beach so much that even when it rains, we are out on the beach when we take our yearly vacation. One year ago, we were on the beach looking for seashells, even though it was misting and a storm was starting to brew. My husband and our two oldest daughters

Unfinished – Did A Dream Foretell A Missing Child?

05 June 2025 | Your Stories

I was twenty-nine years of age at the time (currently thirty-five), living by myself in a small ranch style home. Being a psychotherapist, I’ve had plenty of experiences analyzing dreams. However, on this particular night, the task wasn’t very simple. I had four dreams, all of which were continuations. Each dream was building off of each other. The first dream in the set of four is the one that I will discuss. In my dream, I woke and saw a teenage girl, probably seventeen years of age, sitting at the foot of my bed. She was wearing short, tight jean shorts with a yellow top. I looked at her, puzzled, and asked, “Who are you?” She didn’t answer me and her affect was flat. The only movement was in her

Ouija Board Hell in America

04 June 2025 | Doppelgangers, ouiji boards, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This is a very strange tale submitted by a site visitor in which her double is seen on multiple occasions and even spoken with on one. Was the doppelganger a result of playing with a Ouija board? Back when I was still in high school, a strange set of events occurred to me. It all began one night when my two younger sisters were in their bedroom on the second floor of our house with the door open. I was downstairs watching TV with my parents and had decided to go upstairs because it was late and I was ready for bed. When I went into the bedroom, my youngest sister looked at me and laughed. She asked why I had been on the stairs waving at her and smiling

Doppelganger Strikes At University in United States

03 June 2025 | Doppelgangers, Your Stories

We have had a few doppelganger encounters this last year submitted but this one takes the biscuit as the most weird…. I was a sophomore at a university in California when this incident took place. I saw my roommate’s doppelganger. I’m not positive, but I think this doppelganger crossed over from a parallel universe. I say that because she looked, pretty sinister. She looked exactly like my friend, but she didn’t have the sweet smile my friend has. She looked twisted. Almost like a reverse mirror image of my friend. The smirk was definitely not anything my friend could have produced. At the time I’d never heard of a doppelganger, and I still wouldn’t call myself an expert. All I know is that I saw something that looked eerily like

A mufon investigator came to my home and I told him about my sighting which he seemed to find very interesting and amazing. Two days later there was a knock at my door. There stood a very young man holding some magazines. The magazines looked a little tattered and somewhat used. He was looking down as he talked to me saying he was a magazine salesman.

I was on the way from Alabama, where I was working at the time, heading home. The journey took around two hours. I was turning left at a yellow light, confidently thinking that the truck several feet away was going to come to a stop. The truck hit the passenger side of my car at 50 MPH. Thank God no one was riding with me or they wouldn’t be here today. My car was totaled. As the vehicle got closer to impact, the more things began to become a dream to me. All I remember is the truck hitting my vehicle in slow motion. Time went on and I was awoken by the touch of a presence upon my face, the touch of a lady. Being that she was on

The Dark Presence: A True Paranormal Account of A Suburban Haunting

28 May 2025 | Creepy places, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

The first day I moved into my new house was amazing. I had been living with my parents, and I had never felt better that I did to move into my own place. After the house movers had left I had some washing up to do. While doing that chore I heard footsteps from the hallway. These steps went halfway up the stairs and stopped. I could feel the hair on the back of my neck stand to attention. I felt this sudden feeling of dread and it was really uncomfortable. I checked all four bedrooms and found nothing. The house was silent, but I still had this feeling of dread. I carried on with the washing up trying to forget about it and about half hour later. I mean,
