My Brother Was Dating A Witch

18 July 2018 | Precognition, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

My brother was dating a witch. I know, it’s a strange way to start a story, but it’s true. She was into witchcraft and other pagan practices, if my memory serves me correctly. You see, I was a teenager, I’m now nearly 30yrs old, and this story still rings vividly in my mind. He’s my older brother. There are nearly nine years between us. Despite this age difference, and our very different life styles, I still looked up to him. His stint in the Marines was a difficult time for me and my parents. Long periods of time without contact with him. A base in Japan was his home for a year before he returned to the States. In all of this I’m thankful to God that he never saw

My Great Grandparents Home

16 July 2018 | Your True Encounters

My great grandparents spent their entire lives in Johnstown, Pa, a city once vibrant and thriving thanks to the steel mills of of Andrew Carnegie and the like, but has been in slow gradual decline as many cities are now a days. On May 31, 1889 there was a massive flood when the South Fork dam broke killing around 2,200 people. My great grandfather was a hardworking man, he dropped out of school when he was just 12 to help support his family. He got a job at a local glass factory and worked there for the rest of his life, except the three years he spent in the South Pacific during WW2. When he came home, him and my great grandmother bought a tiny 3 bedroom house in 1945

A Haunting and a Dream

12 July 2018 | Haunted houses, Your True Encounters

This is kind of a series of weird events that has happened to me. The first one happened in my first house that I lived in when I moved to Phoenix. We were renting and the company that owned it said the previous owner was an old lady that lived there alone. They said she passed away at the hospital, but I always wondered. Small things would happen randomly. The tv in our bedroom would turn on by itself. A dresser drawer would be open when you knew you had closed all of them. The weirdest thing that happened there involved my laundry. I had a couple loads I was going to wash, so I threw them all in a pile on the floor of my bedroom to sort. I

Demonic Possession and an Evil Fortuneteller, My True Life Nightmare

03 July 2018 | Demons, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Three years ago I was a normal, happy 35-year old woman. I owned a successful interior design business. I was a hard worker, but I loved to have fun too. I traveled, had a lot of great friends. My life was basically summers at the beach, happy hours in the city, concerts, dating, yoga and cross-fit, volunteering at the local dog shelter, and church on Sundays. I loved God. I was very spiritual and I was very open. Around this time, I was invited to an angel meditation at a local yoga studio. As I laid on the floor I closed my eyes and I followed along with the group meditation asking God and the angels to come and heal me. All of a sudden I had a vision that

The Inconsolable Child

30 May 2018 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

My father in law went bald at a fairly young age. Rather than be bald, he insisted on wearing a wig. My younger daughter, despite only being 18-months old, was only too aware of this fact, and took great pleasure in pulling it off his head every opportunity she got. The two of them would laugh hysterically at this and both were endlessly entertained. As a result, they began to form a strong bond. We had traveled to Pennsylvania to spend 4th of July weekend with my sister and her family. We had all gone to bed when around 11pm my daughter woke up crying and repeating over and over “no, no, no”. This was unusual because she almost always slept through the night without incident. This night however, was different. She was inconsolable

The Very Tall Man

28 May 2018 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Im 46 now so this happened when I was about 6 or 7 years old, so about 39 to 40 years ago. But, I still remember this vividly. I was in the tub, which was my daily ritual before getting to bed. It was around 7 or 8 ( I was in bed by 9 or 9:30 at the latest. ) The bathroom door was open, so in case I fell or something was wrong my parents would hear. The bathroom was literally beside my bedroom. I was almost done and there it was. This very tall man, by tall I mean tall, the ceilings in my parents house are 10 feet. I saw a man in dark pants, and plaid long sleeve button up shirt walk by the bathroom right into

The Ghost of Gladstone Villa

03 May 2018 | Haunted houses, Your True Encounters

My family and I lived at a large property called Gladstone Villa in the former mining town of Bargoed, in the Caerphilly county borough of the South Wales valleys in the UK. From 1969 to 1978 we experienced activity that simply defied rational explanation such as lights going off and on. We witnessed electrical cables being pulled and my grandfather Bill claimed to have had a glass bottle thrown towards him as he entered the main bedroom, missing him by inches. I didn’t personally see this myself, but I still recall the time he came from there with the broken bottle in his hands and he told us what happened !!There was the occasional sighting but this was a very rare indeed, so rare that in all the nine years

Poltergeist – The Disappearing Cross by Keith Linder

09 April 2018 | Poltergeist, Your True Encounters

A month before this movie came out, my cousin flew down from Dallas TX and stayed with me and my girlfriend up near Seattle, WA, in a small town called Bothell. My cousin had been aware of our ghost sort of speak – meaning she knew just enough to still want to come. To be safe, she bought a cross with her, a gift for me and my girlfriend. Hopefully, this cross will protect all of us. Written on it were the Chapters Joshua 1:9, Phil 4:13, Psalm 28:7 and Matthew 19:26; each verse spoke about maintaining one’s strength, one’s faith during troubling times. My girlfriend and I had been having strong poltergeist-like activity so reading something was extremely helpful. When my cousin arrived she handed me cross; we prayed

We deliver, we cater, we scare……

26 March 2018 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I have been working at a local Goodcents subs in my town for almost two years now. This specific store has been experiencing strange phenomenon since before I started my work, coworkers have claimed to be touched, heard their names called, and even seen strange apparitions. I wasn’t a believer until I kept hearing my name being called, though the most horrifying thing happened to me on Easter about a year ago. I was told by management to come in and lay out the bread that would be baked the next day, and reluctantly agreed. No one wanted to come into the store alone. At about seven O’clock that Easter night, I entered the store. It wasn’t so bad, kind of relaxing, or so I thought. I was able to

My Haunted In- Laws Place

22 March 2018 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I have had several unusual experiences throughout my life. I like to say unusual instead of paranormal, because of the skeptic in me. However, the most recent one occurred 2-years ago. At this time, my then fiancé, now husband, and I had moved in with my in-laws in order to save for our wedding and college. I had two experiences at this house. My first experience occurred when I was home by myself. I had just gotten out of the shower and across our narrow hallway to our bedroom. I dropped the towel to get dressed. I then heard a door handle jiggle somewhere inside the house. I instinctively picked up the towel to save everyone any embarrassment. I called out “hello” to see who had come home, but no

The Ghosts of St. Clair’s Defeat

19 March 2018 | Haunted locations, Shadow people, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

There are so many reports from my town and that backstory is the basis of the many paranormal incidents to my family and many other people I have known. But the town itself is maybe perhaps the story that I should start with. “Imagine yourself going past a field on a bright, sunny day and you see women and children dressed in period clothing and you don’t know anything about them. Then imagine so many paranormal events going on around you that you can’t seem to avoid, so it becomes normal for you. As the Bible said of Abel, “his blood crieth up from the ground” and this is what you hear from the many voices groaning and talking around you, where you can’t see anyone. People have witnessed ghosts

Under Water UFO’s

13 March 2018 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This is a true account of an incident that occurred early in my military career that I thought someone might enjoy. It was the summer of 2000 and I was just a non-rate stationed on a 110’ Coast Guard Cutter out of Key West. We had enjoyed three days of calm weather and the seas where glassy smooth. Rare nights like this are when smugglers like to make a run and we where sitting as a darkened ship on a known drug rout, and awesome fishing spot, due to a massive drop off underneath us. We had our radars set to max, our ears wide open and our mouths clamped shut. Sound carries like crazy out there and sometimes you can hear the engines of a go-fast screaming before radar

Melissa’s Darkness Follows Me

12 March 2018 | Demons, Old hag, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

My experiences started when I was very young. I remember being a child and having to share a room with this little girl named Melissa. My mother was a nurse and she always took care of sickly foster children. Melissa was one of these children who had a rare birth defect. I knew the truth of what caused her illness because she brought it with her when she was born. It came late one night as I lie in my bed, close to sleep. My new little sister slept in her crib near the middle of the room. She had rustled for a while before falling asleep, but the room was now quiet and the absent of sound was noticeable. I look over towards my bedroom window and see something

Dancing Purple Orbs?

08 March 2018 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I have always been interested in the paranormal, specifically life after death and I definitely believe that we simply transform into different energy after leaving this physical realm. There are dimensions within dimensions, parallel universes, etc. I lost two husbands to cancer and most of my life has been very difficult in terms of what I’ve lost, the struggles I have had one right after the other for many years-so close together! My husband Pete, who I was extremely close to, we were so bonded with each other and it was absolutely heart-wrenching to watch him fight cancer, his personality and spirit were bigger than life. Around Christmas only 6 months after he passed, I decided to go to the cemetery even though I know he isn’t really “there”–just his
