Scary Hide and Seek

30 July 2018 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

When I was a young girl, I stayed with my grandparents often. I had a lot of friends on her block and we would play in and out of grandmas house all the time. My grandmothers house was built at the top of a small hill. It was arranged so that if you looked at it from the street, it would look like a small single story home, but if you were in the backyard looking at the house, you could see the main level and the windows in the basement level of the house. On the sides of the house there were only a couple of small windows on the basement level and if you were inside the house they were at ceiling level in my grandmothers laundry room.

Mother and Son Reunited By The Spirit World?

27 July 2018 | Your Stories

An ill son in Tunisia. A mother who hasn’t spoken to him for year. Were these two people reunited by the spirit world? This is a touching story you’ll have to make your own mind up about… Many years ago, I went to a psychic night at our local pub. Now, you may think it would be a load of old cobblers, but it actually turned out to be quite strange. My son, Michael, had gone on holiday to Tunisia. While there he had become ill and had gone to hospital. This was unknown to me as we had been estranged since I divorced his father. Normally any communication went through my mother. By this time mum had died so I was completely unaware of anything that was going on

Sometimes, coincidences happen that are both strange and unexplainable. A few weeks ago, I went to visit friends in the UK to spend a weekend visiting magical places (including the Hellfire Caves). The weekend somehow took on an atmosphere of being all about yours truly – I was being beaten black and blue by the powers that be and told to wake up and get my shit together….. but that is another story! However, just imagine a weekend full of magic, coincidences, reflection and so on – if you can. Now, imagine on the last day of this weekend, the three friends decide to stop randomly at a roadside restaurant for dinner… again, totally unplanned as we had originally decided to eat at home. You walk into the place and

The Brothers From Hull Who Were Terrified By An Extreme Haunting: A Paranormal Account

26 July 2018 | Your Stories

Back in June 2018, an interesting article was printed in one of the Hull newspapers. Hull, located in the United Kingdom (and birthplace and hometown of the site administrator) , was the scene of a haunting. Read the report and see what you make of it. You can read the original from the Hull Daily Mail by clicking here. Darren and Chris Buttery say they lived with a ghost that has pushed, punched and slapped the inhabitants of their east Hull home, as well as moving around furniture, slamming doors and hiding objects. Darren, 47, says there has been a ghost in every house he has ever lived in since, and believes the same malicious spirit is following him around. The streets off Preston Road in east Hull are currently

Sleight of Hand: An Encounter With A Friendly Ghost

25 July 2018 | Your Stories

A strange story that tells of a seemingly friendly ghost keeping an eye on a young man feeding the ducks. What do we make of this tale? My parents used to take me to feed the ducks at our local park. I would stand there and throw bread to the ducks and it was usually a lot of fun. However, just the once, something strange happened. I was throwing my bread when an older gentleman walked out in front of me and asked me if I wanted to see a trick. I nodded. He did that trick with his hand where he makes it look like his thumb has been detached from his hand. I thought it was marvellous and giggled away. My dad, who had been sitting on a

My Parent’s Haunted Home

25 July 2018 | Haunted houses, Your True Encounters

Growing up in my childhood home, where my parents still reside today, it wasn’t uncommon for us to hear footsteps and strange noises in that house. Rumor has it that our house was built on an old Indian burial ground, but I still have yet to confirm that. On multiple occasions, when I was home alone in the basement, I would hear footsteps walking around upstairs when no one else was home. The footsteps were so clear that I could tell which room the footsteps were coming from, and which direction they were going. My brother recalls one evening where he was playing video games late at night in the basement, and our family cat was staring intently at something to the right of him. When my brother felt a

One Of The Most Haunted Locations In The United Kingdom: Meet Tamworth Castle

24 July 2018 | Your Stories

One of the most haunted places in Great Britain—check out this article about the infamous Tamworth Castle—once the fortress that protected the capital of Mercia. See what you think! You can read the full article from the Birmingham Mail by clicking here. Tamworth Castle dates back 800 years so it’s no surprise to find it steeped in tales of ghostly goings on to such a degree that it’s said to be the most haunted castle in England. But what paranormal activity has seen it branded with such an eerie accolade? The castle, in the heart of Tamworth, has been the subject of several ghost hunts, with one of the most recent by the Most Haunted series, and one of our reporters once spent a disturbed night in its most haunted bedroom.

The Haunted House

24 July 2018 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

The old house looked fine in the day, sitting far removed from any signs of civilization although the city of Cincinnati, Ohio was just across the river. The long, twisting driveway wound it’s way up a hill that was guarded by bushes and trees that had been planted some two hundred years previously when the first horticulturalist in America carved his home on this high hill in Indiana. At least that what I was told as we made our way to see my Mom’s sister and her husband. I took everything with a grain of salt that had to do with Aunt June for she was something of a character, as were all of my mother’s siblings, but Uncle Kirk seemed a reasonable and practical man and he had never

The Phantom Nurse Who Helped Me Through My Sickness

23 July 2018 | Your Stories

An all-too-common happening. A phantom nurse, doctor or priest who sits with a suffering patient. Healing them with kind words, and love. This is a strange tale… take a look. This happened to me during my childhood in the 1970’s. I had been taken to our local hospital to have an operation to remove my tonsils. They kept me in the hospital for a few days and while I was coming out from under the anaesthetic I had a nurse with me the whole time mopping my brow and giving me encouragement. I remember she was so kind and loving. I wondered at the time, as much as you can wonder while coming out from anaesthetic, how the hospital could afford to have a nurse stay with a minor patient

The Ghost Girl in the Old Room

23 July 2018 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This story begins last Fall (2017), when my family decided to buy / renovate a house that had previously been abandoned for the last 19 years. This house was a quite large, 2 story farm house that had been built in 1871 and hadn’t been lived in since the late 1990s. At first sight, the house looked like something from a modern day horror movie with rooms that had collapsed ceilings and holes in the walls and floors, to whole rooms that had been sealed off with plastic wrap for who knows how long. The house from the first time I step inside it gave me an uneasy feeling and I felt that something was watching me all the time. We started cleaning out the house and take out all

The Student in the Cafeteria

21 July 2018 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

It was in the early 90’s. My friend and I sat at a round table in a State University cafeteria to have lunch. My friend sat almost exactly in front of me. Suddenly, I saw a student wearing a backpack, a dress and light clothes colors. She stood next to our table, her eyes looked in the open space, her face seemed quite sad. I could see her and her outfit vividly, but I could not see her legs from the about the knees down. My instinct told me she was not a there physically. In just in a blink; as I took my eyes off her, to look at my friend, this student vanished! I asked my friend if she saw the student; the answer was no! As I

‘What I went through was real!’ What really happened with the Enfield Poltergeist

20 July 2018 | Your Stories

I came across a brand-new article from The Express newspaper. An article about one of the most famous hauntings of all time. The Enfield Haunting. I wanted to share this article with you. You can read the original by clicking here. There’s nothing that picks out 284 Green Street as anything other than a suburban semi possessed by little more than everyday domesticity. But from the humdrum routine of family meals, school times and homework, it emerged as the chilling epicentre of paranormal activity that held a nation spellbound. The Enfield Poltergeist became a sensation as it terrified a family over an 18-month period with furniture clattering across rooms, household objects flying around, disembodied voices, sudden temperature drops and even episodes of levitation when an 11-year-old girl was witnessed floating

Creepy Hellfire Caves

20 July 2018 | G. Michael Vasey's Nightmare Corner, Haunted locations

On a recent visit to the UK, I was able to visit the Hellfire Caves. These were built by Francis Dashwood and were apparently used by his hellfire club for their activities. Whether these were black magic and satan worship or just a bunch of powerful rich guys mocking the establishment and getting drunk with local prostitutes, we may never actually know. But, the atmosphere in the caves made me feel nauseous and I had a headache for several hours after re-emerging. My sixth sense tells me that there is bad energy in those caves and that it was deliberately made that way. The entrance to the caves menaces like some gothic church out of a horror movie and, as you go down the caves, you are greeted by carvings

The Haunted Cinema That Became A Haunted Museum

19 July 2018 | Your Stories

An interesting new article from the Nottingham Post about a cinema that has been re-opened as a museum filled to the brim with paranormal artefacts. You can read the original right here. A former cinema in Mapperley is set to give visitors a fright after being transformed into a new haunted museum. Paranormal investigator Steve Wesson, 45, has been collecting rare and unusual artefacts linked to the dead for many years. He now wants to share his morbid exhibition and has decided to use the haunted Mapperley cinema as the backdrop. The Majestic cinema in Woodborough Road opened in 1927 and closed its doors in 1957. Mr Wesson and his crew at UK Ghost Hunts believe the building is extremely haunted. Only last month a mysterious metal door, nailed shut, was discovered hidden

Creepy Memories

19 July 2018 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

So I’ve lived in the same house to the current date and we’ve had some strange things happen. I can only recall a few that I have experienced personally and can still remember as some of them happened when I was very young. To start from the beginning, I remember my mom telling me that when I was between 1-2 years old, I would be playing with my toys in the living room being quite happy and content, and then after a while, I would run to her scared asking if she sees the man in the corner. She couldn’t see anyone, but I refused to play in that room for a while. Eventually I’d go back in, play, and see the man again and go find my mom. From
