So, I have spent the last two hours reading these stories, and have finally decided to add my own. I was hesitant to do so, but here it is:

This time last year, I had a job campaigning for Kay Hagan during the mid-terms. The cause was good but the company that was actually my employer was pretty negligent, and sent us out in dangerous conditions all the time. So this particular night I was wandering the back roads of a rural housing development armed with…

I was house sitting for my sister when I was about 20. They bought a nice house in a nice suburb and they seemed happy enough in it. That said, the night my parents and I went to look at it, my mum (yes I am Australian, as though I don’t have enough things to be scared of already) confided in me afterwards that the…

OMG I’m an asshole but I have another story. This one isn’t a ghost story it’s a real life story although I would not be surprised if this guy was possessed by a demon. I spoke briefly about this experience once on an article about losing friends but I’ll tell the WHOLE THING because it still scares me to think about…

I live in an old tenement building from the 1800s in the heart of the East Village in NYC. It’s an old backhouse, so it’s not located on the street. You have to walk through a building then a courtyard. It’s a bit of a maze to get to it. It’s very private. Despite being in Manhattan, it’s dead quiet. The building is…

I came across these stories last year and I found them hard to get through, I guess I’m a wuss, but last January something really weird happened to me and I’ve wanted to share it ever since.

This story happened to my brother (Chris), about a year ago.

There used to be a quarantine hospital/sanitarium down my street for people with typhoid, leprosy, smallpox, cholera, etc. Over 18,000 people were buried there between 1849 & 1877. There was also a paupers cemetery on the grounds. It became a TB hospital in the early 1900’s & people died in droves. The hospital was…

This did not happen to me, but to an ex of mine (S).

A few bits of background are necessary for my story, so please forgive the long preface. I promise there’s not a “and I said to the cabbie, yo homes, smell ya later” at the end.

My wife and I were backcountry camping in Redwoods National Park in California and as we went to sleep in our tent a heavy fog rolled in. I was sleeping soundly, but around 3am I woke suddenly with a sense that something was outside our tent. I heard the sound of light, muffled footsteps and a quiet hissing or…

I work at a school that is haunted. Every few years, we have to do purification rituals because weird things start to happen. Things move around and we start to see the ghost kids and evil ghost nun. The nun has icy blue eyes while the kids don’t have eyes. Just dark pits where their eyes should be.

Not supernatural, but spooky and cautionary.

FINALLY!!! I have been waiting all year for this!! Here is my story.

I thought I would share a story of my dad’s. Our family has many stories where none of us can quite explain it, to non skeptics we believe we are definitely clairvoyant to some degree. My parents tell me stories from when I was younger, I’m not as in tuned to it as they are but this story of my dads is from his days…

Okay, as someone who lives alone and is extreeeemely prone to nightmares, but who _still_ can’t stop herself from reading this hellish thread every year, I’m gonna go ahead and start an accompany Therapy Thread full of cute fuzzy happy things that we can all come back and refer to when we’re done reading and it’s time…

I was raised Southern Baptist. We didn’t tell ghost stories around the campfire growing up. We told possession stories. And we believed in them because demons are biblical. I remember having lively debates with my friends about the biblical case for demons and how not believing in them means you don’t believe…

When I was sixteen I would sneak out of the house at night get high and read a book (Such a rebel, I know). There was an empty forclosed home next door, and I would get inside via a basement window well and smoke in the basement’s bar area. One night it was raining pretty heavy, and I forgot to bring my lighter. I…

It’s the moooost wonderful time of the year! Seriously, I live for this thread. My experience is not nearly as spooky as others’, but here goes anyway:

Cool I’m not gonna read any of these because i want to sleep in my old house tonight.
