The Ghosts of St. Clair’s Defeat

19 March 2018 | Haunted locations, Shadow people, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

There are so many reports from my town and that backstory is the basis of the many paranormal incidents to my family and many other people I have known. But the town itself is maybe perhaps the story that I should start with. “Imagine yourself going past a field on a bright, sunny day and you see women and children dressed in period clothing and you don’t know anything about them. Then imagine so many paranormal events going on around you that you can’t seem to avoid, so it becomes normal for you. As the Bible said of Abel, “his blood crieth up from the ground” and this is what you hear from the many voices groaning and talking around you, where you can’t see anyone. People have witnessed ghosts

The Spirit Of Our Grandfather Won’t Ever Leave Us In Peace

16 March 2018 | Your Stories

I really enjoy reading about the paranormal. I’ve grown up with it in a way. Several people have seen strange things in our house. Seven generations of our family have lived, and died, here. My uncle always claims that he saw his father, after he had died, sitting in a chair in the dining room looking down starting at his hands. Apparently he was perfectly solid and completely unaware of my uncle standing in the doorway watching him. Uncle James blinked, and the spirit just disappeared. My father said that he saw the same man walk straight through a closed door. He also saw him peering through a window at him when he was outside gardening. My brother says that same grandfather walked into his room and sat talking to

The Cornish Ghost of Dorothy Dingley

16 March 2018 | Your Stories

TALES of death, ghosts and consequence in South Petherwin have come to light once again, as a Cornish historian aims to make a 17th century tragedy known. Cornwall has its fair share of tales of ghosts and spirits, but some may be familiar with the ghost of Dorothy Dingley, who supposedly haunted a young local boy in a field near South Petherwin, following her death in the 1600s. However, it has emerged that Dorothy has been paying visits to more recent owners of a connected home in the parish of South Petherwin. Keen historian and researcher, Barry West, from St Austell, has been researching a 17th century ghost story, involving an ancient Cornish family and a sad end for an unfortunate woman. Barry told the Post that his journey with

The Ghost Who Used Our Bathroom

15 March 2018 | Your Stories

I have been reading some of the stories on this site and would like to share mine. This isn’t the scariest story, but it’s true. I live with my mum and my sister. We have lived here almost 4 years, and nothing happened up until a few months ago. My bedroom is above the downstairs bathroom, and I can hear when the light is turned on and off. The light switch is one of those string pulls, and it makes a very distinctive ‘clicking’ sound. My mum and sister had gone out for the day. I was in my room watching TV. All the lights were off downstairs. I’d turned them off myself. Suddenly, I heard the bathroom door open downstairs and the light switch being used. Thinking that mum

My Husband Wanted Me To Find Love Again From The Other Side

13 March 2018 | Your Stories

In 2015 my husband started to get ill with heart issues. We ended up spending most of the year going in, and out of hospital. In 2016 he sadly died. I went to pieces after losing David and felt as though my life was over. A few weeks after my husband’s funeral I started receiving text messages. Most of them were jumbled letters and numbers. The seventh text message said “love” and the ninth said “feelbeta.” I have tried to trace the number, but the company say the phone number does not exist. Several so-called experts have tried to trace the number with no luck. I believe my loving husband has been getting in touch with me to tell me to move on. I saw a medium several months after

Under Water UFO’s

13 March 2018 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This is a true account of an incident that occurred early in my military career that I thought someone might enjoy. It was the summer of 2000 and I was just a non-rate stationed on a 110’ Coast Guard Cutter out of Key West. We had enjoyed three days of calm weather and the seas where glassy smooth. Rare nights like this are when smugglers like to make a run and we where sitting as a darkened ship on a known drug rout, and awesome fishing spot, due to a massive drop off underneath us. We had our radars set to max, our ears wide open and our mouths clamped shut. Sound carries like crazy out there and sometimes you can hear the engines of a go-fast screaming before radar

The Haunting Experience of Cedar Hill, Texas

13 March 2018 | Your Stories

I was with a group of friends, and we were together in the backyard of one of their houses. At about eight-thirty in the evening, I saw a shadowy figure of a man wearing a hat appear on the house, moving towards one of the friends that was there. I looked behind me, and there was nobody there. It was just darkness. I asked if anyone else saw that, and there was only one person that didn’t. It makes sense that the rest of us were pretty freaked out, so we all moved to the driveway. Then, the friend that didn’t see it made her way around the house. She reported that she didn’t see or hear anything out of the ordinary. All the other people did not want to

Melissa’s Darkness Follows Me

12 March 2018 | Demons, Old hag, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

My experiences started when I was very young. I remember being a child and having to share a room with this little girl named Melissa. My mother was a nurse and she always took care of sickly foster children. Melissa was one of these children who had a rare birth defect. I knew the truth of what caused her illness because she brought it with her when she was born. It came late one night as I lie in my bed, close to sleep. My new little sister slept in her crib near the middle of the room. She had rustled for a while before falling asleep, but the room was now quiet and the absent of sound was noticeable. I look over towards my bedroom window and see something

The Creepy True Story Behind Netflix Horror ‘Veronica’

09 March 2018 | Your Stories

Got a question for ya: have you seen Veronica on Netflix yet? It’s a scary Spanish horror movie about a girl who does one of those ouija board things and then ghosts get the hump and start bothering her. It’s very spooky indeed. BUT (I’ve written that in capitals because I screamed it, I screamed it so loud your wig set on fire) did you know that it was based on a true story? Yep, a film about ghosts based on hactual hevents. A girl died in Spain in 1992 after doing a ‘makeshift seance’ at school with her mates. This definitely happened, although the exact cause of her death is unknown – all that’s recorded is that she started having seizures and reported seeing ‘evil’ figures in the weeks following the oujia

“Veronica” is a fictional horror movie that recently arrived on Netflix. The film is reportedly so terrifying that people are turning it off before finishing it (though not everyone finds it scary). But is it really based on a true story? The movie’s versions of events take place in 1991 Madrid, where a girl named Veronica holds a séance with her friends at high school. Later, while babysitting her siblings at home, Veronica begins experiencing terrifying supernatural events. “Veronica” touts itself as a movie based on true events and a real police report. Let’s take a closer look at exactly what transpired in Spain more than two decades ago. The strange death of young girl in Vallecas, Madrid According to several paranormal blog sites, including Ghost Theory, police reports from 1992 indicate that a

Dancing Purple Orbs?

08 March 2018 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I have always been interested in the paranormal, specifically life after death and I definitely believe that we simply transform into different energy after leaving this physical realm. There are dimensions within dimensions, parallel universes, etc. I lost two husbands to cancer and most of my life has been very difficult in terms of what I’ve lost, the struggles I have had one right after the other for many years-so close together! My husband Pete, who I was extremely close to, we were so bonded with each other and it was absolutely heart-wrenching to watch him fight cancer, his personality and spirit were bigger than life. Around Christmas only 6 months after he passed, I decided to go to the cemetery even though I know he isn’t really “there”–just his

Cedar Rapids Paranormal Investigator Writes Book About Her Creepy Experiences

08 March 2018 | Creepy places, Your Stories

Katie Hopkins was just 10 years old when she saw her first spirit. The longtime Cedar Rapids area resident was in the home of her neighbor, who had recently died. Hopkins said she and some others were in the basement of the home when she looked and “saw this guy rocking in a rocking chair.” “It was a quick, brief moment,” Hopkins said. “That was the first thing I can really remember being my first paranormal experience.” That encounter would be her first, but far from her last. Now Hopkins, a 30-year-old admissions adviser at Kaplan University, has chronicled her experiences with the paranormal in her recently published book, “‘Seeing’ Spirits: Opening the Empathic Door.” Hopkins said there are lots of books on the paranormal out there and she’s read

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,

Inside The ‘Haunted’ Tudor Mansion of “Phantom Thread”

07 March 2018 | Your Stories

Hidden in its own valley down a winding mud track, Owlpen Manor is not a place for articulated lorries. Yet last March a fleet of white trucks descended on this tranquil corner of the Cotswolds, bringing with them the production crew and equipment for Phantom Thread, Daniel Day-Lewis’s final, and Oscar-nominated, film. “We were chosen not because of any practicalities – there weren’t any – but because Daniel came to the house and loved it,” explains Hugo Mander, who grew up at Owlpen, near Stroud, and now runs the estate on behalf of his parents, Sir Nicholas and Lady Mander. Day-Lewis “had a sort of meeting of minds with my father – they chatted about old houses and poetry. I think he knew immediately that his character would live in a
