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! Even trying to have remedial work done on the home is an issue. The last workmen who showed up left in a hurry without their tools and told the owner he could keep them – they were not going back to the house again. People who have been there report being strangled and pulled around by spirits. One previous owner called the police after being strangled

Halloween Haunts #3: The Bodies Rest in a Lake of Death – The Tragedy of Fairytale

31 October 2016 | G. Michael Vasey's Nightmare Corner, Haunted houses, Haunted locations

Back in the 16th century, the Pangerl family settled in the beautiful and mountainous Šumava region of Bohemia to farm, eventually building three farm buildings. Little did they know how their decision would eventually result in tragedy. A couple of hundred years later, an old and ugly woman built a shack on the edge of the village of Bradna and moved in. She was a fearsome creature, and it is said that she had teeth like millstones and was so ugly that the local folk avoided meeting her. Slowly, the inevitable rumors began. Strange chanting sounds were often heard by passersby and foul-smelling potions bubbled away in large earthenware pots. It wasn’t long before the villagers suspected the old crone of witchcraft and Satanism. Their fears were finally confirmed when

Halloween Haunts #2: The Very Essence Of Evil That Lurks in Alabama

28 October 2016 | Audible Activity, Creepy places, Haunted houses, Haunted locations, October 2016

If you’re ever travelling through Alabama during your vacation time… you may find yourself face-to-face with the very essence of evil. A place called Sloss Furnaces. This dark, and grisly place, from 1882 to 1971, transformed coal and ore from surrounding acres into the hard steel that would pave the way for industy. From skyscrapers in New York to cars being built in Detroit, America came to rely on Sloss Furnaces for providing materials needed to produce thousands of products.  But this success came at a dangerously high price… In the early 1900’s, James “Slag” Wormwood, was foreman of the “Graveyard Shift”, the period between sunset and sunrise, where a crew of nearly one hundred and fifty workers toiled to keep the furnace fed. During the summer months, temperatures throughout

Strange Noises and Black Shadowy Apparitions Plague Our House!

20 October 2016 | Audible Activity, Haunted houses, Shadow people, Your Stories

Since the beginning of last year, my wife and I have been hearing strange noises in our house. They normally start late at night. Some of the noises are just creaks and bangs, but recently we have been hearing children playing downstairs while we are upstairs. These children are very, very audible and are usually screaming, crying and calling for their parents. We have been suffering through it, but about five months ago our son said that he saw a woman come into his room, sit on his bed, and sing to him. He said that she had black hair, black eyes, and a pale face. My wife and I are unsure of what to do. A few weeks ago we were spending time together in the living room when

Is My House Evil?

13 October 2016 | Haunted houses, Your Stories

This past summer, my husband and I were attending a baby shower for our new baby to be. We were staying at my parents’ house. There are three entities that reside in my parent’s house. This incident took place with an older male spirit who is rarely seen, but often felt. The feeling you get from him is one of fear. Even as a child I remember being afraid of this spirit. We were sleeping in the spare room that is in my parent’s basement and I could feel him staring at us from the corner of the room while we were sleeping. I had to lay facing towards the wall because I could not turn my back on him; We got little sleep while we were there. I would

The Shadow At The Bottom of my Bed

11 October 2016 | Haunted houses, Your Stories

In 1998, I was 14 and was spending the summer with a friend and her family in Idaho. At first, everything was perfect and I was very happy sleeping alone in my own room on the third floor. Five nights into my stay though, I started to wake up every night. Standing in front of me, at the foot of my bed, stood a man looking down at me. I couldn’t really see anything. All I saw was a bright white outline and it looked like he had a hat on his head. He would just stand there and stare at me. I would just turn around and stare at the wall and hope he would disappear. I never turned around to see if he had gone away. Eventually I

A Paranormal Intruder Drives A Family From Their Home

07 October 2016 | Audible Activity, Haunted houses, Your Stories

One night, when I was twelve-years old, I had left my bedroom window open all night as our house didn’t have any kind of air conditioning and it was very warm. At around two in the morning, I heard a very loud husky voice speak to me. I looked out of the window, but saw absolutely nobody out there. I remember thinking that I was just dreaming. The next day, I woke up very late in the afternoon and in the hospital. My parents said that they had found me unconscious outside on the lawn at 4am in the morning after hearing a loud bang. The bang they’d heard was me jumping off the shed. The funny thing is, is that there is no way to get on the roof

The Tapping Ghost of Manchester.

30 September 2016 | Haunted houses, Your Stories

This story takes place in Manchester, United Kingdom. It happened when I was a child around six years old, so 1986. I was at the family home with my mum dad and older brother Paul. Paul and I used to share a bunk bed, with him on bottom and me on the top. I used to sleep with a clip-on lamp on my right hand side. One night I awoke to a tapping on my shoulder — fast taps… one two three. It woke me almost instantly, so I turned on the lamp to see why my brother was harassing me at this time of the night. When I looked down, he was asleep — or pretending, I thought. Growing up, we were always playing pranks on each other. I

Awakened by Ghostly Rapping on the Window

13 September 2016 | Haunted houses

The first house we lived in was alive with spirits. My parents didn’t like to mention it—but it was. I was probably 4 at the time when I first noticed it. We were having a family reunion at our house and had the whole family over. Lots of food, lots of play and lots of fun to be had with my cousins. I remember being tired and wanting to go to sleep just when the sun went down, so I went to my room and fell asleep. The party was still going on downstairs. I woke up to someone knocking at my window, but it wasn’t a polite knock. It was like pounding with urgency. I didn’t think anything of it except that it was probably one of my cousins

Ghostly Home Invaders Spook Family

29 August 2016 | Haunted houses, Your Stories

Shortly after my husband and I moved into the house that we lived in for 18 years with our 2 small sons and my thirteen year old daughter, we went grocery shopping and took our boys with us. When we got home, my daughter was in quite a panic, because she had thought the house was being burglarized. While we were gone she heard what sounded like teenage boys running up the stairs talking to each other (her room was on the third floor). We could find no indication that anyone had broken in and the doors and windows were still locked. Four years later, my husband and the boys were camping for the weekend, and my daughter was staying at a friend’s house. I was awoken at 3:00 AM

The Hooded Figure That Haunted My Childhood!

24 August 2016 | Haunted houses, Your Stories

Years ago, as a child, I too had an experience with a hooded figure, but since I had a lot of nightmares, I was told that I hadn’t really seen anything. I slept in the same room as my parents. One night, I woke up to a dark hooded figure standing beside my bed looking down at me. Of course, I started to scream. This figure turned and walked away; only to disappear before getting out of the room. After my parent’s jumped out of bed, they calmed my fears by telling me it was just another one of my dreams. I fell back to sleep only to wake up to this thing standing beside me again, bent over looking down at me. Again I screamed, and again my parents

Could Your School Be Haunted? An Experience of the Paranormal From A Teacher

27 July 2016 | Creepy places, Haunted houses, Haunted locations, Your Stories

Ever since I qualified as a teacher I have been had some very interesting paranormal experiences inside school buildings. One building was reputed to be haunted by quite a few ghosts and there were a lot of cold spots—especially in the gym where a murder was said to have taken place. However, the story I am submitting today is rather strange. In this particular school, we usually had twenty to thirty students per class. My classroom that day was quite spacious for us and on my left were the door and narrow window. I had a few jokers in this class that day that kept on annoying each other, so while I was writing on the board, I was keeping an eye on their reflections, too. At first, I was

The Boy With No Eyes!

18 July 2016 | Haunted houses

When we moved into our house we already knew that a lady that had lived there had passed away in the house. When we moved in, we did some updates to the house. Our daughter and her family moved in with us when they fell on hard times. We told them they could move upstairs since it was 2 big rooms up there. One night, the son in law came down to use the restroom – it was around 3:00 in the morning – there stands this boy half asleep and he’s thinking it’s our grandson so he goes to pat him on top of his head and his hand went right through the boy. He freaks out and runs out of the door in the middle of winter. Took

Shadows and Noises Haunt My Home

16 July 2016 | Haunted houses

This short description of experiencing living in an undoubted haunted house was submitted by s respondent to our supernatural survey. Take the survey too and win an audiobook – see below for details…. Long story short. I lived in a normal house about 9 years ago but experienced some very strange things there. I would hear footsteps on the stairs in front of my room when nobody was at home. Sometimes I WOULD see a shadow under my door and when I opened it, no one was there. Even my Mom heard the rumbling on our attic, which was a renovated hobby room and open to the rest of the house. One day I saw a shadow figure walking by my window and my room was in the first floor.
