The Figure In The Garden

13 December 2016 | Haunted houses, Haunted locations, Your True Encounters

I was at Arlington Court in Devon, United Kingdom. Arlington Court is a beautiful old house and estate which belongs to the National Trust with very large grounds covering many hundreds of acres of gardens and woods with several lakes and a carriage museum. It really is an exciting trip. I was out on a walk with my wife and three young children last summer. This is at the old lake which is on the mile walk away from the house. I was looking at the children when I momentarily glanced away towards the lake. I then in a split second saw a young woman with blonde hair wearing a long pale blue dress looking out over the lake. Then she was gone. I looked back towards my wife who

A Possession in Virginia

09 December 2016 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This story took place twenty-six years ago. My dad told me about this incident and I think it’s probably one of the scariest things I’ve ever heard. My father does not have much of a sense of humor, so I’m pretty sure he didn’t fabricate any part of it. When my mom was pregnant with me we lived in a rural part of Virginia. My mom arrived home after giving birth to me but her health began to worsen with time and it made my dad worried. He consulted a lot of doctors who deemed it was normal because my mom was anemic. They prescribed a lot of medicines but nothing seemed to work. One early morning dad got up to go to the bathroom. When he was coming back

The Ghostly Girl Who wanted To Play

07 December 2016 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This story took place in London, Ontario about twenty years ago. I was staying with my parents at a close family friends’ house. Our vacation was going well until one night I was woken up by something tapping on my shoulder. Fast taps in rhythm. I tend to be a deep sleeper, but these taps woke me straight up. I turned over and switched on the light. Nothing was there. I turned the light off and lay on my back. About a minute later the taps started again. But faster than before. I turned the light on again and could see nothing. I was getting scared by this point and didn’t want to turn the light off. Eventually I settled down and turned it off and the tapping started again.

Phil And the Dark Man

01 December 2016 | Audible Activity, Haunted houses, Shadow people, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I have had trouble even putting this horrible event into words…until now. I’ve lived in the same house for a long time. From time-to-time, we hear someone walking upstairs even when I know that no one is awake or even home. My dog barks at nothing and I promise you that it isn’t something the dog heard outside. No. It’s whoever or whatever is in my house. Actually, there is more than one entity in my home. I have created a nickname for the one that I think is a younger spirit, maybe a teen. His name is Phil. Or, at least that’s what I call him. He will mess with my Mom as she hears bangs and walking. I always tell her to ignore it, and it will stop.

The White, Smoking Figure That Haunted Me

30 November 2016 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I will to share is what happened to me a few years ago. My apartment is a duplex that has the living room and the kitchen on the first floor, the two bedrooms on the second floor, and an internal staircase to go from the first to second floor. I returned from my office around 8pm, cooked dinner for my Pop and myself, which we enjoyed. Then, we watched TV and went to bed around 11.30 pm. I sleep heavily, but that night, around midnight, I heard the doorbell and I woke up. My bedroom’s door was locked and when I checked, I saw my Pop was in his room sleeping. Wondering who would visit so late, I rushed downstairs to open the door. While running down the staircase, I

The Shadowy Apparition That Took Me By Surprise

29 November 2016 | Haunted houses, Shadow people, Your Stories

This incident took place a few years ago, I had no interest at all in the paranormal until this occurrence. I was home alone, as my parents were out for the evening, and I was in the living room of our house on my laptop. My laptop is set up so that my back is to the wall. From there, I have a clear view of our kitchen. I was browsing different websites. One of my dogs, Caspar, was curled up on the chair next to me. I heard some loud noises coming from upstairs, but ignored it, assuming that it was our other dog playing around up there. At one point, I thought I heard someone step down a few stairs and pause, but I continued to ignore it.

The Other Side Is Trying To Communicate With Me

25 November 2016 | Haunted houses, Phone Calls from the dead, Your Stories

It was around 11 PM and we were getting ready for bed. We turned off all the lights and turned off our cell phones. Just as we were drifting off to sleep my phone rang. I picked up my phone and noticed that the caller ID said “John.” I just thought my husband, John, was messing around. I turned and asked him why he was calling me. He just replied that he wasn’t. He picked up his phone and showed me that it was turned off. On a few occasions, I would leave my laptop on at night and let it rest in sleep mode. Both my husband and I sleep lightly so we would wake at the slightest sound, or crack of light. I remember waking up in the

Assaulted by a Ghost – A Living Hell

24 November 2016 | Haunted houses, Haunted locations, Your Stories

I’m female, married and fifty-one now, but when I was in my early thirties, single, and living alone, I lived at 5 Reabrook Road, Northfield, Birmingham, UK. The then Longbridge Car Plant was still there, built 1905 and demolished in 2005; it was literally just a two minute walk from my flat. Number 5, as several of the houses on that road and other roads were, I think, was originally built for the Plant workers and then converted to bedsit flats. I was on the ground floor and there was a woman living above me. My living room and bedroom were one room with the bathroom and kitchen separate. I had twenty-six pet mice and was up at 4 am six days a week for work at 5am. From the

The Day The Devil Came to Visit

08 November 2016 | Haunted houses

Loftus Hall in Wexford, Ireland is considered to be Ireland’s most haunted house. More a mansion than a house, Loftus Hall was built by the Redmond family during the Black Death of 1350. It was confiscated by the Loftus family in 1650 during the Cromwellian era. It has subsequently been both a nunnery and a hotel before falling into disrepair and it is now slowly being restored. During the 16th Century, the occupants were the Tottenham family – Anne Loftus had married Mr. Tottenham and they lived their quite happily with their two daughters – Anne and Elizabeth. The house was the center of social activity often filled with well to do guests enjoying the countryside and the Sea air. Occasionally, storms in the area would force ships to harbor

The Screaming Skull

07 November 2016 | Haunted houses

A stone throw away from where I grew up stands the beautiful Burton Agnes Hall. It was built in the late 1600’s by one Sir Henry Griffith, the 2nd Baronet of Burton Agnes. He planned a grand home for his family that included three daughters and the entire family took great interest as the home was being built. His youngest daughter, Anne, whose painting now hangs in the Hall, was particularly interest in the design and building of the house. She was said to be the prettiest of his daughters and one can well imaging her visiting with her father to inspect progress. However, tragedy was to strike as one day, when Anne was taking a trip in the local countryside, she and her party were set upon by robbers.

How Long would You Last in The Hostel?

03 November 2016 | Haunted houses

How do you make money from a rental property that you can’t rent? A seven bedroomed house in Hull known as The Hostel has made the headlines recently for all the wrong reasons. It’s owner left the home shortly after moving in as a result of the atmosphere and strange occurrences. He tried to rent it but the longest lasting tenant managed just 4-days!
