The Curse of the Magic Dreamcatcher?

07 March 2018 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

In 2002, I was walking with my parents at a street fair in Carlsbad, CA and encountered a magic dreamcatcher. I saw a bohemian-looking man with a dreamcatcher and scoffed. “Stupid hippie with a bogus dreamcatcher,” I thought to myself. My parents asked me a question and when I heard the sound of my voice reply, I was frightened. It sounded as if I had Down Syndrome. My apologies if this offends you, but I thought to myself, “What if my voice remains like this for the rest of my life?” I was paralyzed with fear. A few people nearby laughed at the sound of my voice and observed what was happening to me. I was mortified. I ran away from the Dreamcatcher and completely out of the Village Fair,

I Wish it Would STOP!

05 March 2018 | Haunted houses, Your True Encounters

This has been going on a long time and I’ve been trying to find help but no one believes me. I need to preface this by saying i’m a writer so just cause it might not look written by a scared teenager that’s why. But also i’m not a very good writer so if it doesn’t seem ‘professional’, that’s why. Anyway my house has been the home of a spirit of some sort for as long as I can remember. Now I know what you’re thinking, and no this isn’t the normal “I noticed a ghost in my house but that’s it” kind of thing, this is a “Whatever is in here hates me” kind of thing. I’m not sure how to start this all so I guess I’ll state

Struggles with Sleep Paralysis….

02 March 2018 | Black Eyed Kids, Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Not sure where to begin on this, but I’m writing tonight because I came across a story while reading about shadow people. I now know what I saw one night back in 2010. But my story is strange. I read where the BEK wanted in but my encounter, he was already in. Now let me back track a little since I was a kid I seen ghosts and heard noises. That being said, I’m not and never have been a believer in ghosts even though my friends and I have seen things, I tend to believe it’s a mind trick or maybe something else. I grew up with and still have what is called sleep paralysis. I have seen many things during those moments – a gorilla clawing at my

The 3am Albino in my Yard

28 February 2018 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Went out to smoke a cigarette at 3am in the morning last night and sensed someone staring at me. So as I puffed the smoke, I turned the porch light off and looked at where it was coming from. A straight up 6 foot plus muscular albino in white was just stood there in my front lawn signaling the Shhh with his finger. I put my cigarette out, walked in, bolted the door and got my weapon. Didn’t sleep at all last night. Woke up noon and reported it to the neighbors. I went to see were he was standing, and there are two boot prints in the grass, and pretty deep. What the hell did I see? Submitted by Liam

The Haunted Houston Movie Theater

17 February 2018 | Your True Encounters

About eight years ago I had moved to Houston Texas. I didn’t know many people but I was religious at the time, I joined a church. One of the members of the congregation worked at one of the Edwards theaters in town. He invited me to come to a movie as he could sign in a guest on days he was working. I decided to go see the movie “The Help” while it was in theaters. I was very excited because I had been looking forward to seeing this film. I went to the theater and picked out a seat in the middle of one of the empty aisles. As more people filed in, one person decided to sit three seats down from me. This was the only person who

The Woman In The Blue Sari

13 February 2018 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

It was almost dark, and my mother and aunt were walking along the road on the side of the woods, returning from their aunt’s village where my grandmother had sent them to bring a bag of rice and daal so she and her family wouldn’t go hungry until her husband got paid for the job he had on the railroad. The twilight made it difficult to see, and they knew that soon it would be pitch black and they would be unable to see anything at all. The woods were lonely, and a man could attack them at any moment. Even if they were to scream, no one would hear them. The woods were very thick with vegetation and frightening to walk through even in the daytime. Now that is

The Ghostly Kids of Ghostly Hollow Road

12 February 2018 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I grew up in a small town in Illinois. When I was a teenager, I would spend most of my time with my best friend, Hallie (pronounced Hayley). A lot of the time we would hang out at her house, where just she and her mother lived. Sometimes, her mom would tell us spooky stories about their old house, which would put us in the mood to go find a ghost of our own. Well, one night we decided to go out to Hungry Hollow Road. It is named after a legend we all knew in that area. The story goes: sometime during the Great Depression, a family with a bunch of little kids lived out there in a shack. There was a blizzard, and they all got snowed in.

My First Spooky Experience

05 February 2018 | 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

Haunted Lehigh, Oklahoma

02 February 2018 | 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

Littel Sailor Boy

26 January 2018 | 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?

UFO in my front yard

23 January 2018 | 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

Is Someone There?

19 December 2017 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Sometimes it is not what you can see but what you cannot see that makes a huge impact. When I was young my family moved around a lot. Every few years we would pack up and move to another house, always in the hope that the next move would be the last and that we could set roots one day. Living in South Africa, we also had a lot of dogs for protection, these poor animals would also need to pick up roots every few years and follow us around, not that they seemed to mind all that much. On this particular occasion we had moved to a new home that was close to my school. Usually, in order for us to make the move a little easier we would

The Crooked Fiddler

12 December 2017 | Haunted locations, Your True Encounters

Where the town of Bradley Stoke near Bristol in the UK was built, there once stood a small wood called Fiddler Wood, its name lives on as Fiddlers Wood Road. The wood is said to have got its name from the legend of a creepy old man who used to tempt children from the local farmhouses into the woods with the sound of his fiddle. He’s sometimes described as a dark or shadowy figure. And although Fiddlers Woods no longer remains, there are several other small areas of woodland in the town and people often report hearing disembodied music coming from the woods at night or echoing around the time on summer evenings. There’s even been sightings of the figure as recently as 2015, in one of the local pubs,

The Chilling Voice of Eddie Mack

03 December 2017 | Audible Activity, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I had been living in Odessa Texas for about 2 years. I had a very small, comfortable apartment. Every so often I would notice things out of the corner of my eye. Nothing that scared me or my dog, Chloe. One night , everything changed. I had just climbed into bed, Chloe had snuggled under the covers. Ready for sleep. Out of the blue I heard a raspy man’s voice. He said “Hey Lady” There was nobody home but us. I told a neighbor about it. He started to tell me a story. About 10 years before I moved in, there had been a couple in the apartment. The man had recently gotten out of prison, he was on parole. He and his girlfriend had an awful fight. He was

Burned at the Queen Mary Ship

01 December 2017 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

On a cool day, my wife decided to enjoy our weekend by visiting the Queen Mary Ship in Long Beach, California. We live only about 40 minutes away from it and decided to make a day of it. The Queen Mary is a fascinating place, full of history and mystery. This ship was a trans Atlantic luxury cruise ship and during WWII served as a troop transport carrying thousands of US troops to and from Europe. She was painted grey and was named the Grey Ghost. During one of it’s many missions, the Queen Mary accidentally crashed into one of it’s escort ships and literally split it in half, killing many sailors. After the war the ship eventually returned to being a passenger cruise ship with it’s black and red
