My Haunted Life Too

My Wife’s Grandpa was a Warlock

09 June 2020 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This story involves my mother-in-law and her father-in-law whom is my wife’s grandpa. This story was shared to me by my wife’s parents whom are people that would not joke around about paranormal situations nor make up stories of any kind. The story came up as a result of BBQ conversations which led to personal paranormal experiences. My mother in-law shared her story when she was pregnant with my wife. At the time, she lived in the 60’s in Sinaloa, Mexico at the family farm of her husband. My father-in-law worked as a truck driver and was away on the road working. The farm was quite humble and did not have much to it. In fact, the room where she was staying at did not have a door, it only

Phone Call from my Dead Dad

05 June 2020 | Phone Calls from the dead, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I keep an eye on Reddit for good stories and so on. This one caught my eye largely because it was the subject of a book I wrote a few years ago. The book was called Ghosts in the Machines and it covered the telephone call from a dead relative type experience….. This story is a super example of exactly that type of experience…. Hey everyone, this story happened quite a while ago and I thought it would be worth sharing on this board as it is one of the creepiest things I have ever experienced. To start I have to give a brief background. My Dad passed away in 2016 when I was 14. Okay, my dad had this Samsung phone and it was super cool to me

A Sobbing Ghost

04 June 2020 | Haunted houses, Haunted locations, Your True Encounters

Langley Castle in Northumberland, England, is now a hotel as well as a fortified medieval castle. Those who know me will know I have a soft spot for haunted hotels and have even put out a book filled with reviews of haunted hotels. Langley Castle is also reputed to have been the inspiration for JK Rowling’s Moaning Myrtle and Grey Lady, which both haunt Hogwart’s. That is because it hosts the ghost of the Gray Lady who is regularly seen sobbing uncontrollably as she glides through the corridors towards a high window. She looks back with a tear-stained face, and then jumps and disappears… No one really is quite sure who the ghost is as the obvious candidates can all be ruled out. Reputed to be Maud de Lucy, who

The Walls Run With Blood

29 May 2020 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I lived in a small town called Wauseon in the state of Ohio. Growing up in the early 1990s, you can best describe my little neighborhood to that of the Sandlot movie. Almost all my neighbors had kids around my age. They would all come over to my house after school and during summer break. I had the biggest yard, and we would play baseball, football, play on the tire swing my dad put up for us etc. My house was also one of the oldest houses, a little north of 90 years old. It was huge – from the basement to our attic it was 5 floors. The basement and second attic were super creepy and I never went to either alone. However, this story is not about my

The Ghost Girl

25 May 2020 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

My family moved into an old, run down house when I was about ten. The stairs led straight into my bedroom, which had a little hall that directly connected to my sister’s bedroom. The whole second floor was basically an attic. My parents had spent about a year or so renovating various parts of the house, and I was always involved in the process (painting, mostly). I never felt particularly spooked in the house, until one night when it was time to go to bed. The light switch was at the bottom of the stairs, and for some reason I didn’t want to turn the corner and look into the darkness to turn on the light. It was odd for me, thinking back now. The dark never scared me. But

Strange Midnight Lights

21 May 2020 | UFOs, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

It was July 1984. I was driving from a friends house around 1:00 am. My friend lived the country and I was the only car on the road at the time. For perspective, I live in a rural small Farm town of 2, 000 people. Most friends live in the country so it’s not unusual to hang out and then leave late driving the county line road to town. Which I lived in. So as I was driving, I could see red lights way in the distance by where I need to turn to head home. I was probably a couple miles away but I saw red multi flashing lights off to the side of the road. I was headed straight to it and figured it was a bad wreck

A Ghostly Twin?

20 May 2020 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I worked the second shift so I would come home around 12:30am. Being a father and husband, I would always check around to make sure things were right and tight before going to bed. One Friday night, I was looking out the door when my wife who was sleeping on the living room futon with our five year old daughter clutched to her neck, suddenly looked up at me and asked,”What’cha you looking at?” I replied to her that I was just making sure things were okay. We lived in a large one-bedroom side of a duplex home that I had purchased before I met my wife. It got a little crowded when my oldest daughter came to live with us after her mother, my first wife, said she needed

Burning the Ouija Board

18 May 2020 | Haunted houses, Ouija, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This dates back some years ago, when we had to move to Orange Texas and we had a house in Logansport, Louisiana. My dad got a phone call that the house in Logansport had been broken into and so they went up there to check out what had been messed up our stolen or destroyed. So, when they arrived, they started going through things and seeing what all was missing and cleaning things up. While cleaning things out of my sister’s room, they found an old Ouija board that was given to her when she was a young girl (she was in here mid 20s when this happened) by a step aunt that gave it to her one year for her birthday. As my family is very religious, my dad

The Dark Karmic Circle

13 May 2020 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I had a friend that I lost touch with. Mainly because in the past he did not always have good intentions towards me. It’s been years since I had seen him. All of a sudden I started to have dreams of him. At least four in a few months. I saw other signs and synchronicities of him as well. This last dream that I had felt like a warning he did not seem to be doing good. I reached out and he seemed different as if he had changed ,and he commented on how we had a lot in common. We had plans to meet a few days after talking. The night before we were going to meet, I had a dream he was into some kind of dark magic

Tested

Back in 2011 I lost my best friend. My father. He passed away unexpectedly. So unexpectedly that he was taking my niece on spring vacation to Florida with my grandpa and stepmom and he got so sick within a week of being there that he had to go to the hospital. They narrowed it down to kidney stones… they did surgery and broke them down. He passed away on the table, they were able to revive him. That Sunday, my stepmom and niece went to see him in the hospital and he was fine at 10am.. He was supposed to get out and he wanted to come back to Indiana to see us. But the good Lord had other plans for my father. At 12 pm, Sunday my niece and

The Ghostly Girl Watching Me

11 May 2020 | Haunted houses, Your Stories

I’m currently 25 and when I was 6 years old ,I saw something that haunts memories to this day. At that age, I would always spend the night at my grandma’s house. One night my grandma and I went to bed, and we slept on her futon. It was the middle of the night when all of a sudden I felt someone staring at me. I opened my eyes and looked right at my grandma who was sleeping right next to me. Realizing her eyes were closed, I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep. Not a second later, I still had that feeling of being stared at, this time I looked at the foot of the bed and saw a pale white girl with long blond

A Possible Explanation for Ghost Sex?

06 May 2020 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This is a possible explanation for women who claim to have sex with ghosts, because it happened to me during a Disseminated Histoplasmosis outbreak. I noticed this phenomenon after the victims moved into a new building. My coworkers and I, all immunocompetent, got Disseminated Histoplasmosis from roosting bats, that shed the fungus in their feces. Bats evolved to deal with the photophobia and tinnitus it causes by hunting at night using echolocation. It went to my CNS and caused all kinds of issues. A lot are what many people who believe they are haunted experience. Like spontaneous scratches (dermatitis) and bruises, smelling an incredibly foul odor, and MS-like effects like “smoke” or vapors. There’s more, but I don’t want to bore you. (Fungus is in the same clade as humans,

The Missouri Gargoyle

27 April 2020 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

So my story is from about 10 years ago. We lived in Franklin county, Missouri. My cousin is like my brother and me and him were bored one night and so we decided to go see a movie the town. The theater was only about 6 miles from where we lived. There was a road that we use to take back and forth to the theater to avoid police because we were in our early 20s and it was the time fast and the furious was big and we drove like idiots everywhere. Point being it was a quicker route. So it begins after we leave the theatre. I don’t recall what we went and seen but it wasn’t a horror film that would put us in that head space.

Did the Bell Witch Visit Me?

24 April 2020 | Old hag, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

After a long day I settled in to watch my favorite show, Ghost Adventures. This particular night they were airing an episode regarding the Bell Witch Cave. I sat watching in anticipation as the cast ventured through the caves. Surprisingly I began to feel uneasy as if something was about to jump out the T.V. At this time I was a single mother of two young boys, and was often forced to stay up long nights to have some peace and quiet and time to my self. Exhausted after watching the show, I travelled down the short hallway of my apartment to my bed. I climbed under the covers and settled in for a calm night’s sleep. The next thing I remember is hearing distant voices screaming and yelling for

The Man in the Roadway

22 April 2020 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

My senior year of high school I had a job that kept me out until midnight. As I was driving home one night I noticed someone walking beside the road. This is very strange because there was nothing around there for him to be walking to so I paid close attention to him to make sure he didn’t jump in front of me. He was wearing an early 1900s suit with matching suitcase. I continued watching him but he disappeared as soon as I started to pass him. I turned off the radio and sat in silence the rest of the way home. I didn’t believe in ghosts until that night when I saw one. Submitted by Jordan Michael to weird Darkness and My Haunted Life Too
