Sheldwich Kent – Ghosts, Ghouls and Pagan God’s: Part One
04 October 2025 | Creepy places, March 2017, Your Stories
The old road from Ashford to Faversham in Kent, passes by the tiny hamlet of Sheldwich, signposted, but blink and you will miss it as you drive by. On moonlit nights, this is probably a good thing. Few will pass this way on foot at the full moon, and those who do so have been considered by the local folk to be foolhardy or at best, deeply in need of help. You see, Sheldwich holds secrets, secrets of fear, wicked doings and age old mystery. The village is not big but is pretty, and is set around an attractive village green, a space which in summer is used for community activities such as local school sports, car boot sale flea markets, and amateur cricket matches, it is a pretty and

The Witchfinder and his weird wooden box – A Kentish tale of the 1600’s.
03 October 2025 | Haunted items, Your True Encounters
The sheer horror of this Kentish story forbids me to actually name the quiet village where the following took place, in around about the year 1620. However, If I was to treat this as a solveable clue for the curious, and intellectual researcher into the paranormal, I would describe the village as having a traditional English woman’s name followed by her boiled loin of pork. That is the only clue, a map may suffice to locate the actual place, which itself is close to a prominent castle. About the late 1500’s and into the 1620’s a zealot lived in this small community. His wanton need for control of the people of the village led him to declare himself the official witchfinder for the local area, and like all bullies both

The Green Orb
02 October 2025 | Haunted items, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
It was a normal night, several years ago,/ I was staying with my grandparents, and it was time to go to bed so I did. I don’t know the exact time, but it was in the middle of the night. I awoke to see a “green ball” floating in the living room. The room was cold. Being pretty young at the time, I didn’t know what it was, but I knew that it wasn’t something normal. I tried to wake up my grandfather, but it was no use, he slept through my attempts at trying to wake him up. I looked back at the “green ball” floating in the entry way to my grandmother’s room of old stuff. It didn’t move, but it had an odd ominous glow to it.

The Haunted Radio?
01 October 2025 | Haunted items, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
I think I’m a little bit sensitive to the spirit world. I have heard strange noises my whole life, I’ve seen objects move around. I’ve also had some very strange dreams—but this happened to me a few years ago, when I was with my last girlfriend. My girlfriend had this speaker system, kind of like a boom box that works either plugged in or with batteries. We were listening to music one evening and the speaker made this error sound when we turned it on. I got a bit freaked out, but my girlfriend told me it’s normal and that it does it every time you turn it on. It was just a buzz. Then we went out for a while, and when we came back, we decided to watch

The Devil by my Bed
30 September 2025 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters
When I was seven I lived with my grandmother in Dallas, Or. I went to bed after a late night at about nine o clock. I slept well through the whole night and my experience happened when I woke up in the morning. I opened my eyes and looked over to the side of my bed to see an entity I can only describe to you as something like a devil – or half of one anyway. When I was young I could never see a full ghost or spiritual entity, but I could see its features well. This demonic entity’s head looked like a purple and black donkey with giant yellow teeth that were sharp. It was looking out of the window for a few seconds before it realized

I Share my Bed with a Ghostly Couple
29 September 2025 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
According to the Birmingham Mail, a pensioner living at Hamilton Court, Cotteridge, shares his double bed with a ghostly couple. His solution to this problem is to look for a larger bed! He believes that the couple – a domineering wife and hen-pecked husband – lived there before him and have never left despite passing over. He is OK says the pensioner but the wife has a sharp tongue on her and causes problems like ringing the doorbell, switching the lights on and off, and breaking his video player. He says that the couple left him for one short peaceful period but announced their return saying ‘we are back!’. The biggest problem, he says, is that they share the bad with him – one either side of him and often

The Haunting of Victorville Base, California
28 September 2025 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
For much of my life I worked as a barber at a military base in California. When I first started at Victorville I noticed the frame on my mirror was broken. I thought nothing of it at first as there were several hairdressers, and sometimes we would grab the nearest mirror on our way to wax a client, or a client in general would use one. So, I assumed someone had accidentally broken it. No sweat. I was issued another one but within a week the same thing happened. My boss questioned me in a joking manner as to how I kept breaking the frames. I joked back that at least it wasn’t the mirror and so no “bad luck” x 14, but in all seriousness, I had not caused

The terrible sundial – The dial of death
27 September 2025 | Haunted items, Your Stories
The sundial in our garden has been telling the time for over two hundred years. It is accurate during the summer, and in the winter months can be adjusted slightly to be more or less accurate. It is only one of several sundials we own, these timepieces being an interest of mine. This is the story of the strangest sundial I have ever inspected, a sundial with just one purpose, a Dial of Death. Solar clocks come in many types, the technology is ancient, and time has been told using the shadow of the sun for thousands of years across all cultures. Starting with a simple stick fastened upright in the ground, to a bronze muzzle loading noon gun, fired with the sunlight from a lens, all types of sundial

The Orb of Ghostly Light
26 September 2025 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters
This happened about a couple of years ago. My mom converted the attic, and it then became my bedroom. I normally close my curtains at night, because when cars drive by, I can see flashes of light reflect on my walls and it keeps me awake. But on this night, I had forgotten to close them. I wasn’t asleep, in fact I’d just gone to bed and I was laying with my back facing the window with my eyes open. Suddenly the room lit up for a split second, it was as if the light had come on. I assumed it was either cars or lightening and rolled over to face my window. It happened again, but this time something bright appeared to hit my window. Shocked, I thought lightening

Zeb – The Angry Ghost
26 September 2025 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
When I was eight, my father retired from the military. We moved to North Carolina to be close to my mothers family. My mom found a 3 bedroom home 1/4 mile from my grandparents. My two sisters and I shared a room. It was huge! Enough room for our full size bed, a twin size bed, 4 dressers with a space in between you could have put two more full size beds and still had room. The first night there I woke up in the middle if the night. I could feel someone staring at me. And it definitely wasn’t in a nice way. I rolled over towards the door and saw an old man in a wheelchair. He looked furious. He was pointing at me and mouthing something but

Footsteps in the Night – A Creepy Caravan Experience
25 September 2025 | Audible Activity, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
We had all looked forward to the family holiday for quite some time. Two weeks in a large, rented mobile home on a picturesque camping site in Brittany located right on the banks of a river and also by a quality beach. My brothers had prepared their windsurfers, and now all we needed was good weather for a brilliant vacation. The campsite was really nice. It was set in a lush forest that sloped down to a river. The river was filled with crystal clear, greenish water at high tide, and at low tide, the wet, rippled sand and occasional rocks lay revealed in the sun, while just a small trickle of water ran through the middle of where the river had been. It was ideal for windsurfing and also

The Unseen Presence In My House
24 September 2025 | Haunted houses, Your True Encounters
I was visiting Reddit this morning and came across this story. I reproduce it here because it sounds very similar to some of the experiences I had growing up… I will start by giving a brief description of the house in which I grew up in and then I will share an experience of my dads. First of all, I could talk about this house forever! Way too much happened in my 18-years of living there to even try and explain in this very short story. As far back as I can remember, the house was always very active, very creepy, and no matter where you walked in that house, you would always feel as though you were been watched. Right from a very early age, I had experienced creepy

It all seems to have started when a house burned down a couple of years ago in the village. The firefighters could establish no cause for the mysterious fire that gutted the building. Things got stranger however when rebuilding began. Over the course of 6 days, the fire fighters were called out to no fewer than 45 fires at the property. According to the construction workers and the local fire fighters, things would simply spontaneously combust including articles of clothing, wooden

The Ghost of the Hanging Student
22 September 2025 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
About fifteen years ago, I helped my boyfriend move into his first home. It was a one bedroom flat. It was in a dingy building but it was his first place and we thought it was exciting. As you opened the front door there was a long hallway with a door to your right, the bathroom, further down the hallway another door to your left which lead to the bedroom, and straight ahead at the very end was a doorway to the kitchen/sitting room. There was no door though, just the empty frame. I always felt as though some one was stood in the doorway with their hands on the top of the frame swinging as in a playful way staring at me. I didn’t like the feeling and my

A Haunted Anniversary
21 September 2025 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
Today we return to the reviews on Tripadvisor.com and to The Town House, Durham, England. It appears that one couple celebrating their anniversary had an experience they might like to forget……. My partner and I stayed for our anniversary, for one night. We booked the nautical room which was very cramped- especially for the price we paid. The location is very central, and ideal for seeing Durham. Overall, the hotel is well furnished and maintained, however, one word of warning, the room we stayed in was haunted! I must be the most sceptical person in the world- never believed in such things, however, clear as day a figure was next to the bed! (defiantly not associated with any alcohol) after my partner ‘felt’ someone/ something in the room- I turned
