Welcome to the most popular section of ghosts.org, the true ghost stories archives. I have been maintaining this page in one form or another since 1993 (before the World Wide Web was around, the stories were available via FTP). The majority of the stories you will see here are from reader submissions, with the remaining tales from the early years of the alt.folklore.ghost-stories newsgroup.

If you have any questions or comments about this page, please email me.

If you're interested in contributing a story, read this.

I strongly recommend you look at the Stories FAQ before reading the stories, especially if you are looking for a particular author's email address or hoping to use the stories in another website or publication.

Did you know? You can create an account on the stories page to review and rate the stories, or even add your own tale to the archives!

There is an index by author of pre-2003 stories here.

If you are enjoying the stories, please consider donating to help keep the site going, or shopping at The Ghost Store.
