I submitted last year ("Stone Cold Kid") and thought I'd do the same this year. Just like last years story, I submitted this to yourghoststories.com looking for "answers" and feedback from the community. Anywho, here it goes:

This is a story my father told me while looking though old family photos a few weekends ago.…

So this really surreal story comes from a combination of having a great memory and a lot of lucid dreams. Several years ago, I had a dream where I was walking down a generic town block and I got this crazy sense of deja vu. I realize that I've seen this block before, in a dream I had when I was 12. I look to my…

A friend of mine had a story growing up about a fairy thorn in a field. The farmer wanted rid of it but everytime he tried to dig it up, something would happen. The shovel would snap, he'd fall in some mud - just narky little things that irritated and embarrassed him. 'It's because you're irritating the fey,' he was…

I was scrolling and saw the word "goat man" and knew I should've stopped but I didn't and this is all my own fault and also how are you alive that is terrifying

My fiance and I met in the Washington DC area and after being together for about a year, we moved from the city to the nearby suburb of Rockville, MD.

Okay,

drowned child :(

So this incident happened to me when I was an undergrad. Let me preface this by saying that I am adamantly a skeptic. I do not believe that there is an afterlife; I do not believe in ghosts; I do not believe in premonition. Period. I think simple brain chemistry explains 75% of hauntings.

A few years ago I was staying at a writing retreat in the south of Ireland. Gorgeous old manor house, lovely rooms, charming people - but there was no TV, no internet, no phone signal. The only things to do other than write was spend all night talking and drinking, go skinny dipping in the lake with the swans or go…

When I was 17 years old, I was an avid romance reader. I'd sneak all of my mother's Harlequin novels and lock myself in my bedroom and just absorb all of it's cheesy, dramatic, goodness. So when I started dreaming of this dashing, young fellow in a breezy, ruffled, white shirt (think Fabio or whatever any man on a…

My grandfather (Papaw) died in a car accident when I was still an infant. Naturally, my mother - always a Daddy's girl - tried to insure that I had some idea and concept of him growing up. We had dozens of photos of Papaw and my grandmother around our home, and I spent my very early childhood with a solid idea of what…

YES! My Annual Adventure with Spooky-Induced Insomnia begins!

Goosebumps for DAYZ.

I have been re-reading all the old stories today in anticipation of this thread! This year I actually have one to contribute.

I come down to the kitchen for breakfast on a Saturday morning. My mom and my sister are already up, and they look exhausted. My mom asks, "Did you sleep alright?"

This didn't happen to me, but to my cousin's ex-husband, and the aftermath was seen by quite a few people, including my mom/uncles. If you live somewhere rural, like me, you know there's a back road to almost everywhere. A house every few miles, no lights, etc. One night, my cousin's husband was driving down one of…

Close enough?

So it's the early 70s/mid 70s. My dad's driving around late at night in either Wisconsin or Michigan (don't recall which, he was traveling across the country). He's on the highway and he suddenly sees a light behind him, like one of those undercover cop cars. He pulls over, and so does the cop car. He waits for the…

Not scary now, but when it was happening? Terrifying.

I forgot I drank all of the wine. When I got home and trader joe's was closed. The horror. The horror.
