I have my own ghost or per my mother a “guardian angel” that has followed me since I was about 10. The first time I remember seeing my ghost I was asleep in the house where I grew up. I’m not one to easily wake up once I go to bed, but I can remember waking up with a start- I sat up and saw the silhouette of a man…

I went to a Catholic high school that was founded in the 1840s. There were a few ghost stories that the faculty would tell students about a priest who allegedly hanged himself in the old elevator shaft in the early 1900’s. One priest, Father G., would often allude to his own creepy experiences during off hours, but he…

Like any good seaside town, Annapolis has more than its fair share of ghostly tales and spiritual visitors. Considering the city’s rich nautical heritage, the area’s role in Colonial-era commerce, the nearly 400 years of state and colony government, the role in shaping the American revolution, the infamous slave…

My first duty station after graduating MOS school was on Mainland Japan. I had transferred with a guy who did the same job as me and we had both gone thru the course together so naturally they bunked us in the same room at the barracks. Most barracks in Japan are indoor type, where the exits of the rooms faced each…

It was the summer of 1985 in a small, coastal New England town. There was one small hotel in town that was rumored to be haunted. Furthermore, the owner’s wife had passed away there a year or so earlier, adding to the story. The owner was a good guy in his mid-late 60’s at the time. I think he had sold the hotel and…

My friends always ask me to tell this story every year around this time — So what the hell, I’ll share it here too. I don’t know if it’s a “horror” story, but it’s something. It’s gonna be long as hell though.

When I was a teenager, I’d get up to shit. By that I mean; smoking dope, fighting, drinking and generally being the most stereotypical John Bender rip-off in history. Because of my predilection for getting in to “trouble”, I had a lot of friends that were more interested in pissing off their parents then they were in…

A few years ago I was dating a new girl and we had taken our first trip together to visit her grandfather in Philly. We were having a great time and I was doing my best to impress and play the good boyfriend when I get a call from my cousin’s wife around 11 am the second morning. She asks me if me and my parents were…

I have so many that it’s hard to know where to begin. To put it in context, I grew up 100% positive that the house I grew up in was haunted. It got to the point that “manifestations” and “phenomena” didn’t even scare me anymore. All of this being said, I don’t really know where I stand on the existence of ghosts…

Back when I was a tiny Wong in my mama’s belly and my sister just a babe in her crib, my parents bought a “fixer-upper” that was built in the 1800s. They saw/heard/felt dozens of paranormal events, up to and including the ghost itself.

Not a ghost story per se, but still creepy.

So this is my family’s ghost story and it predates my birth and no one wanted to talk about it except my grandma and she only told me once, but here goes...

My husband, son and I moved into 1913 four-square house in Portland Oregon. Just prior to us moving in, the house had a “to the studs” remodel. The walls, floors, and upstairs layout only remained untouched. We immediately felt at home without out any creepy feelings. Of the four bedrooms upstairs, we had a master, my…

My wife and I had just moved into our dream house with our two kids after a tough journey of living in my father’s basement as we saved our money. (Please remember as my father’s house is relevant to the ghost story.) We had been in our house for no more than a month as we celebrated my daughter’s birthday. As the day…

This didn’t happen to me personally but a story that my super skeptic dad told me.

Alright.. I got one:

My girlfriend and I were house sitting for her parents one night last year. The house has been known to have suspicious things happen even though her parents were the only owners for the 30+ years the house had been built. Suspicious things had happened there before, and you constantly felt watched, even when nobody…

I previously managed an old steakhouse in Northern Indiana some 15 years ago. This steakhouse used to be a storage place for deceased bodies from the hospital back in the late 1800’s. As I was closing up the place one night, alone of course, I heard what sounded like a young girl and older woman’s voice from outside…

I have a short one that I can’t explain.

When I was around 3 years old, we moved into an apartment complex. My Dad was in the military at the time, so my Mom just stayed home with me, which is how she befriended the older lady neighbor.
