Once when I was a child I was trying to get rid of my huge fear of the dark. The first night I turned my lights off and tried sleeping in the pitch blackness of my room. I was petrified,and unable to sleep. So I just lie there.
Suddenly my sheet just all of a sudden pulled itsself off of me and slumped into a pile on the opposite side of the room. That scared me very badly. But as if one scare wasn't enough for one night, another was to come. I quickly retreived my cover,because as most know a cover or blanket is a safe thing for a child. I turned a lamp on for the rest of the night and had trouble sleeping.
The next night, after my mom comforted me, I decided to try again. The lamp went off. About 10 minutes later, A voice started to call my name. I was incredibly spooked,but I went about the matter logicly and decided it must have been a family member. I only lived with my mom, and she was fast asleep when this event occured. My mom was not the mom to play a joke on me, i knew she wouldn't do something like that. Besides, the voice was a man's voice,very deep. Im still spooked about the dark.
If anyone has a story or just a comment, e-mail me. Thanks.

Ghost in my car
This experience happened about a year ago, sometime in the late summer of 2001. I was driving in my sportscar on the freeway, going southwest, about 15 kms outside Oslo. It was a Sunday afternoon and the sun was still shining. Something happened. I got some kind of an alert, a sixth sense registered something and I turned and looked to my right. I was alone in the car. But as I looked over towards the passenger seat, to my shock there was an old man sitting there. He was wearing a hat and a suit, his skin was grayish and his face expressionless. I all lasted for max a second or so. I got the distinct feeling that I had a ghost in my car. It was a very strange experience. I sometimes get similar experiences, but they are more like there is a presence.. like there is somebody there, I can feel them and their presence, but I can't see them, or can't make them out clearly. I'd like to get in contact with somebody who is experienced with parapsychology or who has similar experiences.

One day I was visiting my best friends house. This was right after her brother had died. We were bored out of our minds, and I said, "Hey, let's try to contact your brother....." we went into the spare bedroom and sat down on the bed. We held hands and prayed first of all, and then we concentrated on her brother for about half an hour. Then we started getting amused with her cat..... Her cat would do this weird thing with it's lip when we'd ask it a question. We asked quest ions that we knew the answers to, and the cat would always answer the questions right. i know this sounds crazy, but we were convinced that her brother was talking through the cat! Then we got back to concentrating on the contacting part. After about 30 minutes, i was having a craving for some chips. so i walked to the door and reached for the doorknob. As i did, i felt a tug on my shirt, an unmistakeable tug. I quickly turned around and my friend was sitting on the far side of the bed, eyes closed. The bed wasn't bouncing, she couldnt have done it..... and she didnt. She swore to god that she didnt pull my shirt, and we looked to the door where it happened. Then we saw a very faint vision of her brother, standing beside a girl, with long blonde hair, she was covered in dirt. The weird thing is, my friend's mom went to a psychic a few days earlier, and the psychic said that her brother had a best friend in the afterlife, a girl.....

From 1990-1996 I lived in a large 50-year old home in Santa Ana (Orange County) California with 4 other guys. The home had previously been a convent of Catholic nuns & later a residence for Catholic priests. We knew that at least 2 of the priests died while in that home. The five of us were supposed to take care of the house as well as live there. One night I was alone in the house & was getting ready for bed. It was a 2-story house & I lived on the bottom floor. I heard footsteps in the room directly above me. I was surprised because the guy who lived there told us he would be gone for 2 weeks. But I thought maybe he changed his plans. The footsteps went from the sink to the dresser to the bed, back to the sink, etc., just like someone getting ready for bed. After listening for about 15 minutes, I went to bed myself. One week later that roommate returned from vacation. I asked him if he had come back to spend a night in the house; he said no. I asked him if anyone else had the key to his room, to clean it or whatever; he said no. So I think what I heard that night was the ghost of one of the priests who had died in that house. Some of the other guys who lived in the house had similar experiences, but none of us saw anything strange. However, some of our guests and employees did see ghostly figures on several occasions, as well as hear strange noises, as I did that night.

I have not submitted this story to any other site nor have I published it for profit. I work in an office that used to be an old high school. It was converted to a school district office about 20 years ago. I am a shift-worker and often work nights. One night, at around 2:00am, i was doing some paper work. I stopped what I was doing to think about the happenings of that day. It had been a very horrible day because I had lost someone very close to me. I was sitting, and I put my head in my hands. Not a minute later I heard a whisper in my ear and felt something touch my right shoulder. Someone, or something, whispered "It's okay." I shot out of my chair absolutely terrified. Every goose-bump and hair was at attention. I have never had anything happen to me like this before or since then, but it will stay with me forever. If i didn't believe in ghosts before that day, I surely do now.

Hey it's me again! (Lizzy) And I have another story to tell. My best friends sister told me that this happened to one of her best friends. Here goes:
Her friend was kinda living in the Fort Garry Hotel (in Winnipeg) and it was night-time so she was already in her bed. She heard a door slam but thought nothing of it and went to sleep. At midnight she woke up suddenly and looked over at her bedroom door. Standing at the door watching her was a lady wearing a fluffy purple dress and a purple hat on top of her long hair. Anyway, she was terrified and got up flattening herself to the wall farthest from the door. Then the lady disappeared.
As it happens my best friends friend's teacher had an article about the ghost. As it happens the night the Fort Garry Hotel first opened there was a big fancy ball. The lady in the purple was having so much fun at the ball that she didn't realize that the chandalere (sp?) had snapped and it crushed her. As my friend said her neck snapped and she was horribly mangled. (I'm getting goosebumps right now, but that might be from the hale storm outside!) Okay, well please e-mail me your comments cuz I would love to hear them!
Yours Truely,
Lizzy from Winnipeg

Hello, I am just an average person trying to live a life. Yet, for six months now, there is something really strange happening. I have been dating this man for the past eight months. He is pretty quiet of his younger years. I was planning to stay the night, I did just that. So, I layed down to sleep, around three a.m., I heard this womans voice saying, "Can you hear me?". I thought nothing of it. Again and again, same question. Until after 5 to 8 times hearing that question, I said, "Yes, I hear you!" then nothing for 2 minutes. Then that voice said, "I have been in a car accident." I immediently though, "Oh, my Mother" So I called her. She was sleeping. Nothing further, I fell asleep. Two days later, I was telling my Mother, I was sorry for calling her at 3:30 a.m. but, I needed to know if she was safe. My Boyfriend over heard, he looked white, I was asked to tell him. He said it sounds like his Mother. We are living in his Mothers house and sleeping in the same room she was once in. That didn't surprize me. Another night, I was starting to fall asleep, it felt like someone tapped me on the head, (right temple). Although it sounded like a bull whip! I am not sure if I fear for myself as much as I feel she is just trying to contact me. I am open minded. I am sure that is what the case maybe. Of coarse, if any of you read this, let me know how you feel? What I should do. Thank you, Charli

This is a story about reincarnation. Does it exist? You be the judge. After this incident, you can say I'm a believer. On a day I was driving with my 6 year old twin daughters, we decided to take a back route to enjoy a different scenery. As we were driving, we saw a woman gardening outside. My daughters started screaming, "mommy, mommy!" I let it slip my mind, wondering if they were just being silly. Later, when it was time to return home, I decided to take the same route as I did before. To our surprise, the same woman was gardening outside. As we passed by her, my 6 year old twin daughters again started screaming, "mommy, mommy!" This was when I realized it was more than just silliness. I stopped the car and approached the woman in her garden. I asked her if she had ever met my daughters. And she replied, "No, but I did have two twin daughters that died 6 years ago."

We live in a house that was built in 1950. we have a resident ghost, Mrs. Kroeger. In 1976 she died in the house and her spirit has remained since. we see her in all parts of the house, she is allways wearing a blue bath robe and white pants. she is allways seen smiling and as a solid person, sometimes she will appear when I play a certain track on a cd in my room, other times there is a burning smell, and our dog is constantly following something around the house. when we are in the basement alone, we can hear audible footstepswalking through the house upstairs. allmost every night there is a loud sound like someone is fall ing out of bed, usually when that room is empty. it is a very constant haunting, we see, hear or smell something every day and everyone in our family has had an incounter, even our dog, she'll start barking at odd hours of the night, mooving around the basement,it's kind of freaky but cool.

Yo Obiwan, Heres a story 4 ya...
First of all, this story was actually experienced by my friend Luke's mom. Anyway, Luke's mom and a friend were walking in a feild with two HUGE german shepherds. These dogs weren't afraid of anything, remember that, it's important. So in the field they find this beautiful old Victorian House. They see this house and wonder why anyone would just leave... Then they went inside. They let the dogs off their leashes to explore the house. They go through a kitchen, a dining room, and a game room. Then as they approach the second floor stairs, they hear the dogs wimpering and howling. They find the dogs barking in front of a bedroom. They decided to go in to see what they are whimpering at. Luke's Mom stuck her hand inside the room, this is in August, and the room is ice cold. they then ran avay screaming bloody murder, tho dogs at their heels. No one remembers this house except her and her friend...
