Your Stories - My Haunted Life Too

Echoes of the Past

12 September 2024 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Our experiences with the paranormal weren’t confined to The Foundry or our mountain home. Even in other residences, we found ourselves brushing up against the inexplicable. In one of our previous homes, a beautiful Federation-style house built in the 1900s, our eldest daughter, then around seven years old, often spoke of a child named ‘Hammy’ who she said lived in her room. At first, we dismissed it as a typical childhood imaginary friend. Hammy seemed benign, keeping our daughter entertained with whatever games or conversations they shared. Curiosity eventually got the better of us, and we decided to look into the history of the house. To our astonishment, we discovered that one of the original residents was indeed named Hamish. The realization sent a shiver down our spines. Our daughter’s

The Uninvited Guest

07 August 2024 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

After our experiences at The Foundry, my family and I thought we might find some respite in our mountain home. The house was sprawling, with a self-contained apartment downstairs, and we often enjoyed hosting gatherings there. Little did we know, our mountain retreat would soon become the stage for another series of inexplicable events. It was a warm summer’s day when we decided to throw a party, inviting friends and neighbors over for a barbecue. As the day mellowed into evening, I found myself in conversation with a neighbor, my gaze fixed on the downstairs apartment behind him. That’s when I first noticed it – a brown, shadowy figure darting back and forth inside the apartment at an unnaturally high speed. I knew the apartment was empty, which made the

A Confrontation at the Foundry

20 July 2024 | Hat Man, Shadow people, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Despite the frequent unexplained occurrences at my wife’s clinic in The Foundry, I’d never felt genuinely afraid. As a believer in the paranormal, I was more intrigued than scared by the events. However, there came a point when I decided it was time to address the situation head-on. It started on a sweltering summer evening. The shopping centre was closed, and I went to the store alone to restock supplies. The darkness didn’t bother me; in fact, part of me hoped to encounter something out of the ordinary. I wasn’t disappointed. As I moved about the store, I became aware of a large, black shadow in the shape of a man. He wore a wide-brimmed hat and paced up and down the hallway of our clinic. I greeted him with

The Foundry’s Playful Presence

28 June 2024 | Audible Activity, Haunted items, Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

After my first unusual encounter at my wife’s clinic in The Foundry, I thought I’d seen the last of the inexplicable. But the old building had other plans. Months later, on a day when my wife needed to tend to our kids, I found myself manning the clinic alone. The staff were busy with clients in the front rooms, leaving me to hold down the fort at the reception desk. Suddenly, the silence was broken by the distinct sound of one of our machines starting up at the back of the store. It was a machine we used for client treatments, and it wasn’t scheduled to be in use. I made my way to the back of the shop, expecting to find a forgetful staff member or maybe a curious

A Rainy Day Encounter at The Foundry

24 June 2024 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

It was mid-2008, on a rain-soaked winter’s day in Melbourne. My wife was building her business in a CBD shopping centre called The Foundry, an old building with a rich history. Back in the 1850s, during Melbourne’s gold rush, it had been a metal casing factory. I decided to visit my wife’s shop to see if she needed a hand with anything. She was setting up a few rooms for client use, and I thought I might be able to help. The shopping centre was relatively new, so there weren’t many stores open yet. As I walked through the shop, I passed by one of the rooms under construction. Inside, I saw a couple of lads working on what looked like plumbing. They’d made a big hole in the floor

“Room 52” A true story

22 June 2024 | Audible Activity, Creepy places, Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

My name is Michael Todd and I’m writing to you from Muldrow, Oklahoma. Per your post of 6-14-24, inviting individuals on your mailing list to submit a ‘creepy story’, I thought I would forward a brief, but rather frightening event I experienced a few years ago. I am the founder and lead investigator of ‘Spook Earth Paranormal’, based in Muldrow, Oklahoma. I’ve researched and investigated the paranormal for over 16 years. During this time frame, I’ve been scratched, bruised, pushed through doorways, had my hair pulled and witnessed so many ‘shadow’ incidents, I actually lost count. I’ve been to diverse locations such as Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky and historic War Eagle Mill east of Bentonville, Arkansas. My encounters have been documented by audio and video recordings,

Crying Baby

12 June 2024 | Audible Activity, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

This story is 100% true. Trust me, I’m not the type of guy to bs people. First, let me put you into situation. This happened when I was a teenager (probably 2011, not sure about the exact year). It was summer time. I was living in a small town known as Saint-Hyacinthe in Québec, Canada. My house was right by a river known as the Yamaska river. It is a long and wide body of water that stretches far within the region of Montérégie. My neighbors lived very close to my home. They were very quiet people and I don’t recall them ever being loud or anoying in all of my 19 years living there. One of my neighbors was an old gay man living with another man who was

Did I Just See a Ghost?

28 May 2024 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Last night, something really strange happened. I was sitting in the living room, just watching TV, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a shadow move. At first, I thought it was just a trick of the light or maybe my cat. But when I looked over, there was nothing there. I shrugged it off and went back to my show. A little while later, I felt this sudden chill in the room, like a cold draft, even though all the windows were closed. I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It was an eerie feeling, like someone was watching me. I tried to ignore it, but then I heard a soft whisper. It was so faint I couldn’t make out

The BEK Are Back!

27 May 2024 | Black Eyed Kids, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

It was late at night and I was sittin in my livin room, watchin TV. It was real quiet, and everyone else was asleep. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door. It was strange, ‘cause it was almost midnight. I got up and went to the door, thinkin it might be an emergency. When I opened the door, there was two kids standin there. They looked about twelve years old. They was wearin old-fashioned clothes, like from a long time ago. They didn’t look right, though. Their eyes were all black, no whites at all. It gave me the creeps. One of them spoke, and his voice was flat and weird. “Can we come in? We need to use your phone,” he said. I felt a chill run down

The Hanging Shadow

05 April 2024 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

My ghost stories started when I first moved to Colorado. My first house there, I slept in the basement (I was about 5 years old). I remember I would end up in my parents bed almost every night because I would see this dark figure hanging on a support beam just watching me… every night. I would also see my great grandfather who had passed away. My parents thought I was crazy and made me go to therapy. Okay so fast forward about 6/7 years. In all actuality I had completely forgotten that I had even had this experience. Until one day, I was home alone (I’m about 12 at this point) and there was an app I was playing with called video star. For those of you who have

The Possessed Foster Child

22 March 2024 | Demons, Haunted houses, Poltergeist, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Greetings, My name is Richard and I have experienced years of paranormal activity that only ended after three exorcisms of my home. I’m not sure how much detail you’re looking for in the initial email, but in 2017, I was a foster parent. My first placement was a 13 year old girl who we’ll call ‘Tina’. Tina claimed that when she was 6 years old, she thought that her father was dead (he wasn’t) and she would contact what she referred to as ‘the spirit realm’ and ask if anyone was there, in the hopes of finding her father. Night after night, she asked if anyone was there and then one day a voice told her it was here. The voice told her its name was ‘Melable’ and that it

The Shadow

22 January 2024 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Before my mother gave birth to me, she lived in a house that was very small, but big enough for her and my father to live. She always had some paranormal experiences including the children’s channels turning on on their own and biscuits moving around the house. Yes, it might sound funny but it is true. One night my mother went to bed, and she had a dream that she saw a tall figure, and first of all, she walked though the living room, then the kitchen, then slowly up the stairs, then it turned into the back bedroom, looked at the bed, then it turned and walked towards my mothers room, there was a hand and it reached for the door knob, then she jumped awake, only too hear

Mysterious Bus Passenger

09 January 2024 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

On the evening of 10th January 1991, I was standing at a bus stop in Moss Side, Manchester, my bus came along and I stepped onto the bus and was about to pay my fare to the driver when I suddenly turned my head and I saw an elderly woman sitting near the front. She looked at me and silently mouthed the word NO, shook her head from side to side and held her finger out in front, all as a WARNING! I looked around at the bus and the other passengers and I looked at her and she was still shaking her head from side to side and mouthing the word NO, holding her finger out. Thus I got off the bus and waited 20 minutes for the next

A True UFO?

16 November 2023 | UFOs, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Around 1999, I saw a UFO, in broad daylight one afternoon. I was in the backyard, in Walnut Creek, California, reading a book. I set the book down and was looking at the flat-bottomed Cumulous clouds, when out of the bottom of a cloud flew a 100% reflective, wingless object, that looked about the same size approximately, as a 20′ ocean shipping container, with a slanted front. There were no exterior appendages such as wings or motors. Other than that, it looked almost like the shuttlecraft from the Starship Enterprise. It came out of the cloud and did an immediate hard right turn, not a sweeping turn, an immediate hard turn as if to indicate “Whoops, I’ve been seen” and disappeared back into the cloud. All this occurred in a
