Hi this is a true story which happened to me last year. I am a 23 year old from Manchester in England and have recently gained a Bachelors degree from the university of Leeds. Whilst at home in my old bedroom during the easter holidays from University, i was in that half asleep half dreaming state which occurrs just before you dooze off to sleep, when i heard what can only be described as loud church bells chiming that funeral march tune(There is no church near my house!) being half asl e ep i rationalised what i had heard as part of a dream and though perturbed continued to lie in bed, though now very much awake. Shortly after however and even louder(really very loud) than the bells i heard the sound of a baby crying, now seriously freaked out i ran to the hallway, where i met my sister who had heard the same thing and was crying and shaking. We rushed into my parents room however they had heard nothing. Eventually me and my sister got back to sleep and the event became one o f those story's you tell your friends, however 3 months later my mum announced at 48 she was pregnant, was my little brother Steven announcing his unexpected arrival in style?

story: Hi I'm Lizzy and this is a story that happened to my mother and I. Okay, This happened when my Mom, Dad and me (I was only a baby) were visiting my Oma and Opa on my Dad's side of the family. It was night and my Mom was sleeping in my Dad's old bedroom while I was in a bundle of clothes on the floor. As my mother told me she suddenly woke up in the night and felt like she was being watched so she sat up and saw a pale figure of a girl wearing a puffy white night-dress and long blond hai r standing at the end of her bed. The figure just stood there staring at her and then looked over at me before disappering. The next day my Mom told my Dad what happened. He said that recently his little 5-year-old sister had been hit by a car and died immediatly. Since she hadn't lived long enough to see me I have always thought that she wanted to see what her new neice looked like. I swear on my life that this is a true story and I hope it wasn't too boring for you to read.
Yours Truely,
Lizzy

A friend of mine is a vetrinary technician and has worked in numerous vet clincs over the years. There was one place that was strange though. All the techs at this one clinic would have a frightening dream about being chased through the clinic by "something" at one time or another. My friend had told me this and I asked if she had ever had this dream and she said no, not yet. I would often go with her when she had to take care of the animals over weekends or holidays and help out. O ne night it was my turn...
It was a clear dream and everything appeared real. I found myself running through the clinic with the feeling that there was something behind me, just beyond my sight, and that this entity didn't want me there. I also think it enjoyed the chase because I was somehow in it's place/frame or more closer to its existance where it could reach me. I was overwhelmed with fear, but I remember wondering why this was happening to me because I didn't work there. I remember stopping just before I got t o the kennel room, turning around, and yelling out "Hey I don't work here!" Suddenly I was awake, like someone had flipped a switch and I never had that dream again. This place had a higher number of deaths associated with surgeries than any other clinic my friend had worked at. They also had problems with some of their equipment turning on and off, batteries draining, tools missing that sort of thing. Anyway, the owner sold the place and it is now an eye clinic. I have often wondered if an y of those people had strange dreams.

i haven't told anyone this before because i didn't want to bring it up again so..
i was at my grandmothers house and my sister and my cousin were sleeping in the living room. i could'nt get to sleep so i just lay there for a long time.i started to doze off .The living room was next door to the kitchen and on the counter there was a cutting board ,all of a sudden i heard like finger nails tapping on the bread board really loudly i looked up and i saw a shadow in the kitchen it was really dark so i didn't know who it was.
i got up and turned the light on and their was no one there and i got freaked out so i just went to bed trying not to think about it. in the morning i had asked my grandparents and my parents if they had been up out night and they all said they didn't get up at that time.
i don't know who owned the house before my grandparents moved in but i don't know what happend or who it was.

It was a Tuesday morning and got up to get ready for school. As I headed into the kitchen to get a glass of orange juice, I heard a very clear and very distinctive babies cry. It sounded like it was coming from behind our sink. I ran to my mom and said " Mom, I just heard a baby cry!" Naturally, she didn't believe me. Our house is new but people lived on our property before us. Way, WAY back in like the 1800's. It's been almost a year now and I still don't know what it was. Sometimes, w h en I sleep, I can still hear the baby cry. If any of you have ideas of what the cry misht have been, PLEASE e-mail me at ladybugkrg@yahoo.com THANKS.

This is kind of a short story, but it is true. I was coming home from church one day, and the road we (my mother, sister and I) normally travel was blocked by a recent "up-grade" to the road. We took the next road and got onto the normal course we took home. As we passed by a condo(minium), I happened to look over at the drive way to see a woman in overalls staring at the ground. She didn't look anywhere but down. She was also wearing a bright shirt underneath the overalls. The car passed by a tree, blocking my view of her. After the tree moved, the woman was gone. I still believe that it was some sort of ghost, even though she was opaque, (not letting any light pass through)like humans are. E-mail me if you've seen this "young woman" in overalls and a bright shirt before. I'd really like to hear your story!

My old house...
This story takes place in Ontario. Me and my parents used to live in an older house. We had lived there ever sence I can remember. As I got older aroudn 7 and 8 I started havign many experiences. I used to have many dreams (nightmares). Almost all of them had to do with the house (this being before I had even seen a horror movie). Like for example: something that looked like my mother but wasn't and dolls with moving eye's. On one occasion (when i was awake) at about 12 a.m. I was layign on my bed with a tooth ache. I looked out in to the very dark hall and I saw three things float in to my room. They had dark robes and faces that looked like white plates. All in a row they stood infount of my open door. Just looking. Then they went away. I was so scared I didn't know what to do. I have man many more experiences but I can not remember them all. They happened when I was very young.
The funny thing is that after we moved to another house on the other side of town The bad dreams stopped and I NEVER had any problems again. I have only once since we moved been back to that house. I heard that the new people who moved in had some of the same stuff happen but no one believe's me or them.
I never tried to envestigate what might have happened there

One night I was sitting in the study about 8.00pm I heard my mom talking on the phone.She later informed me that my father who had that week been ill in hospital had died.
Exactly a month later when I was sitting in my study at exactly 8.00pm I saw a shadow go accross the wall. The strange thing was that it looked the same as my fathers shaddow, same build and everything.
Exactly one year later and the last of the paper work from my fathers death had been sorted out and that night as I lay in bad I heard my fathers whisper in my ear "Everythings going to be alright now" and that is the last I ever heard of him.I some how feel now that I am always being cared for and that goasts are maybe just there to reasure us in time of need.

A few weeks ago, I slept round at my friends house. I have always thought her house curious, and on several occasions, have seen a black figure. The first time I saw the figure, was when I came to call for her, to walk to school. I was also with another friend. I went inside, and stood at the bottom of the stair way, waiting for my friend to come out of the bathroom.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a black shape, move across the living room, which is close to the foot of the stairs. I looked at My friend.
"Did you see that?!" she said I told her exactly what I had seen, and it matched what she had seen too. When my friend came down the stairs, we told her what we had seen, but, being a strong character, she refused to beleive it.
Anyway, back to when I slept at her house. We had got my quilt and sleeping-bag sorted, and we were just about to go to sleep. I was awaken, when the light in her room, switched on by itself. I started panaking, and woke my friend. We decided to sleep in the room downstairs, in the double bed.
In the morning, we woke up, to have my friends dad hand us a cup of tea. And then he went downstairs. We were talking about what happened that evening with the light switch, when Emma said- "Dad, can I have some sugar in my tea?.. dad?" I told my friend that he had gone downstairs, and her face went pale. "I didnt do that on purpose! I swear I thought it was my dad! I saw him move across the landing". But he was downstairs. She described him just like the figure I had seen on that morning when I called for her. It is very strange, the dark figure is only seen when I am in her house...
