Gone but not forgotten.
One night my friend and I made a cheap paper ouija board for kicks. We didn’t think it would work, but we were bored and decided to try it anyway. It’s important to note that my friends house is very old with creaky wooden floors and large staircases. Before we took our home made ouija board for a spin we went downstairs in pitch dark to get a drink. My friend went first and I...

Dog gone.
I used to be very religious and at one time I would pray every night before I went to bed. One night I was lying in my bed but I couldn’t sleep. I was lying on my stomach and suddenly felt like someone was pressing me down. It lasted for about 2 minutes and I couldn’t breathe at all. When it stopped I jumped off my bed and turned the light on but no one was there. I didn’t have...

I heard about a girl who used to live in a house that had seen it’s fair share of death. Every time her or her family would leave the house they would hear this screaming and pleading from upstairs. It would only happen when they were leaving though, and as soon as they went back inside it would stop. The girl that lived there had found out later that the house had burnt down in the past and...

Asylum seekers.
I had a very spontaneous day yesterday. After a dinner of dumplings and vegetables in chinatown myself and a few friends decided it would be a good idea to go to an abandoned and notoriously haunted mental asylum. I’m usually very grounded, but I’m totally thrown by the possible existence of spirits. I’ve seen and heard too much to ignore, and I would think it ignorant of me to...
Unwelcome bedfellow
I had just fallen asleep and something literally just shocked me right out of my sleep. What happened, was not part of a dream, sleep paralysis or something I imagined….this was real, very real. When I woke up, I was literally jolted awake by the feeling of something walking, very slowly on top of the bed. I sit here typing this, visualizing what happened, like an animal stalking...

Hanging around.
My colleague and I were talking in work about how scary the basement was. She had to go down there alone once, she walked down the stairs and started walking through the long corridor to get to the main basement. She suddenly saw a man dressed in a security outfit walk across the corridor into the basement. She didn’t think anything of it until she got to the basement and couldn’t find...
Demonic death.
I heard about a man who was supposedly haunted by a demon. His wife noticed vicious mood swings and anger issues and also that he had become quite hostile towards friends of his when they’d call him on the phone, as well as his wife. He blamed his anger on nocturnal attacks where he’d wake up and find scratches on his arms and legs. One morning his wife woke up to find that her husband...

Not-so-imaginary friend.
A family moves into a house in the US. They get settled in hoping to make a fresh start for themselves despite deeming it odd that they secured the house for far below any other houses in the area. They also wondered about the fact that the previous owner only lived there for a year. As they get settled the families only child, a five year old girl, makes an imaginary friend named Emily. They...

Bringer of bad news.
Throughout my schooling experience we always gave our sub teachers a lot of shit. Except for Mr Chanter. Everyone was always more than happy to have him, mostly because he told a great story or two. He also had a fake eye which cool too! One afternoon he took my class. We began talking about ghost stories and the unexplained. He told us a story about his Great Grandfather who would always visit...
Awakening dream.
I’ve already shared this with Mitch in private but I’ll tell my story on here now. This story isn’t meant to be another ghost story or even a scary story. Just a story of an unbelieveable event which I still to this day cannot comprehend how and why it came to me. OK, so this was a few years back now. I had a dream, that I was in my home town for something very important but I...
Unthreatening visitor.
This happened recently to my Grandmother. She started to awaken very early in the morning and someone would be in her room, a little girl, about ten years old, wearing a bonnet. My Grandmother, Mia, was not afraid and asked what she wanted. The girl turned to her, closed her eyes and disappeared. The next day Mia saw her again, only this time the girl was sitting next to Mia, reading over her...

A concerned guest.
Creepy enough this only happened last night, i was sitting in my lounge at around about 12am, my whole family had gone to bed, and because i live in a big house, i was downstairs and everyone else was upstairs in their beds, my bed is upstairs too, i had just turned my laptop off and put it on the coffee table then got up to go to bed, i was walking through my kitchen when i heard something, it...
A second chance.
I once heard a story of a family who had a little girl, Mary, who passed away prematurely at an age of 2 (or there abouts). The parents felt that Mary didn’t get the chance she deserved and when they were ready, they had a second child, and named her Mary. They thought of it as a second chance for their child. They decided not to tell Mary about her sister whom she was named after. One day...
Burning memory.
When I was around 10/11 years old I woke up one night feeling really scared. I walked to my mum and step dads room filled with hesitation because I was just feeling really uneasy about something. I made it to there door with no trouble, except it was locked so I knocked on the door and while waiting I looked to the other side of the staircase and I noticed these red eyes in the darkness coming out...
Dead man crawling.
Thanks so much to everyone who has contributed thus far. I’m hoping this ends up an expansive archive of creepy stories from around the world. A database for anyone who wants a scare or to share a story. To celebrate the response I’ve had to this blog I thought I might share a few stories of my own… Until recently I lived in a fairly old house with my family. A few people had...
A hot case.
During the summer of 1983, in a quiet town near Cairns, the charred body of a woman was found inside the kitchen stove of a small townhouse. A video camera was also found in the kitchen, standing on a tripod and pointing at the oven. No tape was found inside the camera at the time. Although the scene was originally labeled as a homicide by police, an unmarked VHS tape was later discovered at the...
A helping hand.
My cousin and I had gone to Adelaide, and we had heard rumors of some haunted railroad tracks. The story was, a school bus full of children had stalled on these tracks with a train coming. The train was going too fast for there to be time to get the children off. So they all died. When we finally found the tracks, we stopped the car, parking it right on the railroad tracks. We were both a little...
Tortured souls.
It has been reported that some victims of torture, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not WAKE UP. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren’t being tortured. The only way that they realized they needed to WAKE UP was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and...
Nightmarish truths.
A recent study by the National Psychiatric Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, concluded that no activity can account for the phenomenon known as nightmares. Whereas many dreams come from unconscious desires, most nightmares seem to come from an outside source independent of the individual. In fact, when subjects are asked to recall nightmares they are almost always found in the same memory...
Gollum's big brother.
I live next to a few acres of bush land and scrub. My house is pretty large and one night my mum and I were home alone. It was around 11pm and we were both watching TV and catching up, when we heard a startling noise outside. Imagine the loudest, raspiest, most terrifying possum noise ever. While at first we were pretty scared, we soon realised it was most likely an injured animal which probably...
Realistic dolls.
In rural southern Illinois a toy company began selling “realistic” baby dolls to expectant mothers. But apparently after the mother had her child the toy baby would start crying. Eventually the “rocking motion” advertised to calm it down wouldn’t work, and you couldn’t get it to stop without shaking it. Eventually when it started crying the parent would have to...
A familiar face.
When I was younger I’d have what I thought were bad nightmares. I would wake up and feel what I could only describe as a dense and heavy presence next to me, I would freak out and try to move but I couldn’t. I remember even trying to yell for someone but not being able too. For some reason this would only last a few moments but after four months of shutting my eyes and freaking out and...
