Only wierd and unexplained that ever happen to me is on a recent herping trip to the everglades. We went out looking for some gators and split up around this small bed of water on turner river road. We got to looking, when i heard him call, Jason, like in a panic where he found something interesting. It was coming from on the road. I ran onto the road, and saw a figure move over into the water, i followed. When i got to the area where i thought my friend brandon was at noone was there. I looked back and saw brandons headlamp shinning back at the little bed of water where i as at. To me this was as scary as it could get, i cant handle much when it comes to being scared. But i could have sworn i heard and saw a "human" walk into the water. Aswell as brandon swears he never called my name.
I am sure other experiences on here will be much more scary.

OoooOoOoo spooky.

My aunt's last house was haunted...(it was a very, very old brick school house). Her neighbours would see a person in the window when no one was home, and my little cousin would wake up in the middle of the night, and see things in his room. Apparently some people had died at the school, including a teacher who used to abuse the kids. My cousin was 4ish, and would claim to have nightmares involving the same abuses this teacher used to act out on the students, i.e, burning with a lantern. I'm not going to go way into that here though.

My relatives moved when the house got dead cold for no reason in the middle of winter. (any Canadians will sympathize as this is no fun!)

A couple years later we met a couple through our kickboxing classes and they had actually bought the house and still reside in it. They claim the same things happen, the house gets cold, lights flicker, etc.

They've even taken to leaving things at the bottom of the stairs just to see them move to the top of the stairs by themselves. The last they heard of this 'ghost' was when their brother came into their kitchen and was telling them how silly they were being, and the kitchen light exploded...

Thats the last I heard....true or not, the same happenings in the same house as told by two different families is pretty weird!

Hmmm lets see.

It was 1982 and I was in Portugal on a trip with the family at the time I was 11 years old. We were all out near a camp fire in the middle of the night in my grandfather' s yard enjoying each other company telling stories of our lives and so on. I was restless being young and a bit bored with the adults and starting playing with my grandfather' s dog "Senoir Nao" - means Mr. No.

Well we started to walk off down a dark walk way near the vineyards with the only light from a full moon above and the camp fire at a distance. As you can expect there with natural noises and a bit of creepiness being almost in the dark but when your young this doesn' t scare you off that much.

Well after about 20 minutes running and playing with the dog I felt a cold chill which threw me off because it was a warm day and night around 36 C. I was a short cold breeze not a slight one but a much deeper and colder feeling. Then I called for Mr. No and he came running at me like he was scared off by something. I never seen him run with his tail tucked in and checking behind him so fast. At that moment I was worried because where we are in Portugal you can expect wolves and snakes, and even wild dogs. Although I heard nothing like them I decided best to get out of there and get back with the family. I started walking backwards to not turn my back on what scared the dog.

While walking backwards I bumped up against one of the vineyards posts and turned around as fast as I can to see what stopped me in my tracks. After seeing it was a limestone piller post I looked back again to see the direction I am walking away from.

Now the spooky part comes in - when I looked back I saw a cloudy somewhat foggy distortion of of a old woman walking a white dog which I still believe today was a wolf. I yelled out at them and got no response litterly I saw them come through the wall of an old shed and walk into the vineyards. Well now being anything macho I started running back to the camp fire and told my family what I saw. I thought if anything they would just laugh at me for being young and dumb from that situation.

Instead most of the senior folks at this family camp fire had a weird look to their faces. At which my grandmother said what I saw was normal. I said normal what do you mean. Turns out the shed was actually a single bedroom where my great grandmother stayed with my grandparents and she passed away after a wolf attacked her back in the 1950s in those vineyards. After hearing that I was in shock but my grandparents were somewhat happy because I saw the ghost so to speak. Since I knew nothing about it before hand and my parents never told me this or even believed it when they lived well over 20 years there themselves and never saw this either. My grandparents were proud I had seen it when they see it all the time and let it be as it is.

Well I tell you now, after that moment I never took that trail again, and even after visiting last year I still avoid that spot all together. What I saw was interesting and brought me some history in my family but spooky it was and if the dog can be scared so can I, lol.

Cya...

Between the ages of Birth-7 years, I had lived in a haunted house.

At night, I would hear something growling and scratching in the wall beside my bed, every night for about 4 years that I could remember. The growling was not like anything a human or an animal could make. Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl.

The basement seemed to be where most of the phenomenon originated. It was colder than any basement should be, and there was a rank smell, almost like rotting meat eminating from the area. I had three cats at the time, and anytime that either one of them would come near the top of the stairs, they would raise their hackles and hiss. If I tried taking them downstairs with me, I would get clawed in their struggle to get away.

I would also wake up covered with bruises, scratches, and bite marks all over my body, I cannot explain where they had come from.

I would place an object down for a moment to go do something else, and when I would turn to retrieve it, it would be missing. I would typically find the object in another area of the room, or in a different room entirely.

Whatever entity or entities were in that house, were NOT friendly, and I hope to never encounter something like that again.

One time, I fell asleep in front of the tv. When I woke up, to my amazement, I saw a UFO in the sky. Oh wait, it was the x-files on tv. ;-)

I have had far too many paranormal experiences to share all of them, but I try to maintain my skepticism about it. However, some of my experiences make that awfully hard.

My older brother is the biggest skeptic in the family, and even he won't talk about the happenings in this one duplex we lived in.

We started to notice strangeness right away when we moved in - there one room in the basement that was SUPER cold, no matter how high the heat was. (This room was adjacent to my bedroom. My brother slept behind a curtain in the main basement room.) We used this room for storage, because it was uninhabitable. It also reeked of iron ore. We couldn't figure out why it was cold, we figured maybe a draft, so I put a candle in the window sill - no draft. We thought the vent was blocked, so we looked around the room, only to find the vent in the ceiling, unobstructed and wide open. But the heat could only be fet standing directly underneath it.

I decided to see if the whole myth about cats sensing ghosts was true, so I brought my cat, Tigger, downstairs with me. As soon as I entered the hallway, Tigger hissed loudly, panicked, scratched the hell out of me, and ran upstairs like a bolt of lightning.

Then the really weird stuff started happening - my brother reported seeing footstep impressions in the thick rug we had downstairs. His stereo would suddenly go on full blast in the middle of the night. The coffee machine would turn itself on at night, and we would wake up to the bottom of the coffee pot scorched and black. One day, while my younger brother was in my other brother's room playing nintendo, HIS TV went on in the next room, and the volume knob was turned up full blast - we had a full view of his room from the kitchen, and he did not enter or exit the room at any time. Lights went on by themselves, items would relocate, all of the typical signs.

Well, one day my brother-in-law's car keys went missing, and we literally tore the house apart looking for them. My sister went so far as to dig through the garbage and reach into the toilet bowl to see if one of her kids flushed them. They were nowhere to be found. The house was spotless, so it could not have been hard to find them. Well, one day before locking up the house and leaving for work, my mom shouted behind her "I want those keys back, and I want them back TONIGHT!"

We came home, and they keys were on the bedside table right beside my mom's bed. Then her favorite sweater went missing.

We moved out of the house after this.

Great stories guys...
Invictus I too have had a lot of creept experiances in my life
I wonder if some people are more subseptable(? did i just make that work up) to these types of things
Right now i`ll just talk about the house I am living in now.....


I moved into this house about 4 years ago
It is in the oldest part of my city(saskatoon) one the next block over is the oldest house in the city which at one point was use for a hospital during something tyo do with the louis reil rebelion

My house is a townhouse in a building that covers half of our block that is very old - well over a hundred years
(3 floors - 4 bedrooms)

Things started happening as soon as we moved in
This very first day we went to put the key in the door and the door just opened - which we thought was just because the people who lived there before must have not shut the door properly because they finished moving out just 20 min befiore we moved in

This same thing continued to happen for the entire week and I started blaming my b/f because I thought he wasn`t closing the door properly

The last night after 4 days I made sure I shut and locked the door properly then when we got home I grabbed the key out of his hand and went to open it and when I put the key in the whole and went to turn it the key broke off and the door opened
The next day we got a deadbolt put in and never bother with the knob again

Then shortly afterwards I was making supper at the stove and I was talking to my b/f and I saw what I thought was him standing behind me - when I asked him a question and he didn`t answer I turned around to ask why he wasn`t answering me and no one was there - I walked into the living rooma nd he was watching tv on the couch - needless to say this ended in a fight because I thought he just walked away when I was talking to him but he swore he wasn`t in the kitchen

Stuff started to be misplaced around the house and for the ongest time there was always a soaking wet teatowel on the floor in the living room. Once again this turned into a fight because I thought he was just being lazy when cleaning something up - but after the third time I knew it wasn`t him because he was out of town that day

One day a friend of mines father came to pick him up from my house and his dad came to the door asking if he could come in. I thought this to be strange because his dad never came to the door at any of my past houses or aprtments
His dad started by saying ' I don`t want to disturb you but I would really like to look around...' I said sure but was very curious as to why...He asked if I remembered all the scarey storeis he told us while we were growing up about when he lived with his aunt and I said of course then he said this is the house that I lived in with her - I told him he must have been mistaken and he said I can prove it - go look under the kitchen counter edge and see if there is a door bell button...I checked and there was - he said she used to use it to call him up from the basement when he was a teenager - he and his aunt moved out because of all the strange ocurances and his aunt found out something terrible happened here
Strange things continued and seemed to cause a lot of stress between me and my b/f until we broke up
While living alone things got worse - there was always thumping up and down the stairs thumping in the hall, lights dimming and appliances turning on and off - the majority of the electrical problems we dismissed as old wiring - although my ex who was an electrician said that a dimmer can`t dim on its own due to bad wiring
Soon after I met my current b/f and at that time I had a couple room mates so we moved into the basement
we would always hear children playing in the basement and thought it was just the neighbour kids eventhought it was real late at night - soon after the family next door moved out and the noises continued - we moved back up stairs

LAter one of the room mates took over the basement - we didn`t tell them anything because some times its better to keep these things to yourself - they were already experiancing the noises ect..
One moring I came down to the main floor to get ready for work and my roomate was sitting on the couch and you could tell he hadn`t slept - I asked what was wrong and he said he didn`t want to talk about it Later that day I asked him again because he still seemed upset and he said 'you won`t believe me, but there was a little girl in my room last night'
He moved back to a bedroom upstairs too

Soon after one night we were sleeping in our new room which was by the bathroom and heard thumping from in the bathroom...we got up and went to have a look thinking one of the cats had knocked the shampoo down into the tub or something and when we went in there all you could hear was heavy scratching which seemed to come from right inside our old clawfoot tub
My animals are acting strange all the time the cats stair at what seems to be nothing for long periods of time or the dogs bark and growl at nothing - and sometimes the animals will be sleeping and they will just get up and run like some one just called them
There are several other things but I can see this post is getting too long so i`ll leave it at that - people tell me I should look into the histroy of the place and who might have lived here in the past - but I am content not knowing

[Invictus]

Your story gave me chills, ydinc.

[Paleosuchus]

It is fun being scared thats why we go to scary movies, haunted walks etc.. But i cant see how people in "haunted" houses would stay there. The first damn thing i saw that was spooky i would be packing my things the next second.
This is not my experience, but my very good friend brandon in the story i told above lives in georgia. The day i left from georgia to come back to florida a few years ago his other good friend was killed by bullies. Hit hard in the back of the head and died. That same night brandons sister saw "brandon" at the door way crying. She told brandon to go back to sleep and not bother her. Brandon also saw aboy crying by the door in his room and he knew right away who it was... If anyone is prone to seeing anything ghostly it is my sister her stories scare the crap outa me always. So i guess some people are more prone to seeing it. Just thought i would tell one more experience i know of. Jason

ydinc, do you still live there?

We had a similar thread before, here was my post. I still get the willies thinking about it.
When I was little, maybe 5 or 6, my family lived in a townhouse in Windsor. We had a little dog named Monchue and he used to howl occasionally in the middle of the night for long periods of time. We used to keep it in a crate in the kitchen. It was terrifying.

Many times, when I was laying in bed with my eyes closed, I could feel something crawl on my bed. It would walk around on top of me. Not human size, small, like Guinea Pig size. Walking on two legs though. I would be so terrified that I couldn't open my eyes or move. I thought that if I pretended to be asleep and breathed shallow enough, it would leave me alone. I never saw anything because I would close my eyes really tight. I thought for sure that I was awake though.

Honestly, I now think that it was my imagination or something, maybe a nightmare. It was very realistic to me though and still scares me. I haven't thought about it in a very long time. Come to think of it, it could have been some kind of sleep disorder or something. At the time, I was doing allot of sleep walking. The only time ever in my life, while living in that house. I did it quite often. My parents often caught me trying to pee in the bath tub and closets and what not lol. I gues you never know what it was, it was very, very real to me then.

Here's the thread:

reading these gives me the chill..... oh great, right after i go home from watching the grudg...

[ydnic]

Aidan - yes I still live in the house, my dad just past away a few months ago and things have calmed down quite a bit - the only thing that happens lately is when I am upstairs in my room alone you can hear shuffling in the hall at night and my door creaks
Sometimes when I`m cleaning or doing stuff when i`m bent over I can feel some one standing over me or a cool breeze zip by that makes my hair stand on end - I just hope its my father

But about every three days there is this horrifying smell in the living room that will linger for like 10 or 20 minutes then its gone, but that has always been there
