Unlikely Strangeness

I moved into my newly built house about 9 years ago ( just south of Gettysburg, PA ). The first night there I had a horrible dream about ghosts being in my house. I figured it was only new house jitters. Several years later, I was sleeping in my room and around 4 am, I heard a crinkling noise. I thought my dog had gotten into a bag in the closet, but then I remembered that I had let her out of my room a little while earlier.

Being a logical person, I moved on the next idea that maybe a mouse had gotten in my room ( it was winter time). In my tired confusion, I quickly realized that the noise wasn't coming from the floor, it was coming from a stack of crates that I use for food storage. Naturally, I started to panic because someone or something is playing with an unopened bag of chips and it's pitch black in my room so I can't really see. I jumped up, ran to the door, flung it open and switched on the light. I stood by the door, unmoving, just glaring at this bag of chips, trying to make sure I wasn't imagining it all.

I watched in horror as the bag of chips slowly crinkled and sank in as if an invisible hand was grabbing the bag. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing as ridiculous as it sounds. I even moved the bag to make sure there wasn't actually a mouse trying to eat the food. Nothing. I have never been so scared in my life. I still can't come up with any other explanation other than the paranormal.

The Top Hat Ghost

I was about five and it was very dark (well it was at night).

I was lying down on my bottom bunk with my nine year old sister on the top. when I turned around to find a pair of legs about three inches away from my face. at first I thought that it was my dad.

I kicked the top bunk to wake my sister up.as she started to have a go at me for waking her up it went all silent. I said 'what is the matter'. about 1 minute later she replied 'there is a man standing right in front of me'. she shut her eyes and so did I as we opened our eyes the strange figure that had not long been standing by our bed had disappeared.

the next morning my sister and I were talking about it.

we have NEVER forgotten it since.

When I Moved In To A Spirits House

We have just moved into this house after my grandfather died like 2 weeks ago. I have my own room, well one day I was reading a book in my room when all of a sudden I heard deep breathing over me. I looked around to see who it was but no one was there. I got up and went to walk out into the living room when the door started shaking, it was opening and closing over and over for at least 5 minutes. Also lately I have been feeling light-headed which I hardly ever feel.

This is a true experience and I know it might not be that scary to you but when your actually there it's pretty scary. It's up to you whether you want to believe my true story or not...

The Graveyard

 This is a true story, my friend was trick or treating on Halloween with some other girls her mum told her not to take the shortcut through the graveyard my friend thought she was trying to scare them ( after all it was Halloween! ) so they ignored her.

They were just walking through the Graveyard when they heard a load scraping noise but they just thought it was a animal of some sort, Then they heard it again this time much loader and with it a scary growl they very well knew that no animal could make such a load and frightening noise suddenly a man creeped out from behind a gravestone all her friends ran away screaming but my friend stayed. The man said " Want to help me remove this gravestone? " as he said it he produced a pair of very big, very sharp and very scary scissors out of his pocket and started walking towards her by now she was scared out of her skin! so she screamed and ran right out of the graveyard when she got to the big iron gates she turned around and the man had completely disappeared. She went home and told her mum the whole story right from the start her mum said that a man had died in that graveyard and his body had been put underneath the wrong grave she also said that there had been quite a few sightings of him and all of them seemed to be on Halloween!

The Girl In My House

My name is Mikayla and I am 13 years old. I don't remember what day it was but it was sometime during the school year a few years ago. After school one day my stepbrothers and I and I few of the neighbor kids decided that we were going to play a little game of base ball(I know what does this have anything to do with the story). My brother at the time was wearing some winter gloves and somehow got a sliver stuck in his hand. So he asked me to go get him a pair of tweezers.

 

Now I didn't like being in my house alone anyways but being the nice sister I was I went and got him some. As I was reaching for the door out of the corner of my eye I saw a little girl in old fashioned clothing like 1800's.(Now noone is in the house except me...or so I thought). But she didn't go away when I looked at her. Instead she gave me an grim evil smile and said,"Watch out Mikayla." Right then I ran as fast as I could out of the house screaming my head off. When the neighbor kids asked what happened I told them and they looked shocked. Ever since I have heard strange noises in my house. And I hear footsteps out side my room and see shadows move across my room in the night.

Most Recent Ghost

I just moved into a brand newly build apartment. one day as I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom which has the reflection of my balcony door. I saw through the reflection a male in white walk from the balcony inside and turned into one of the rooms. I thought it was my partner as he was outside the balcony at the time so I didn't think anything. when I finished brushing my teeth I walked out expecting my partner to be inside the room. as the apartment is very small there is no where to hide. I didn't see anyone inside so I looked outside and there was my partner outside the balcony and his wearing black not white, then I realized that it wasn't him the whole time and freaked out. since its been awhile since the last time I ever saw anything strange happen and also since this place is new I thought I'm loosing it because of stress. but a couple of weeks later as I walked my dog I happen to cross this billboard near by that informed me of the history of this land. it use to be an army base for air planes during the Vietnam war. so maybe there are still spirits about?

I have the ability to see and sense ghost. it started since I was 6 years old. though it happen more often when I was in my teens it hasn't happen for awhile and I don't see them all the time. its very random and often unexpected. and I do see them during the day too.

hope I don't see anymore.

My Mirror

One summer morning, as I lay in my bed, I awoke with a feeling that I wasn't alone. I looked to my left and right. Nothing. Then I looked ahead of me, at my mirror. All I saw was a huge flash of light. I studied the mirror and as I kept looking, I saw a young girl, about my age. She looked menacingly at me with her blank, cold, colorless eyes and bared her pointed, shiny teeth at me. She wore a long, flowing dress and her hair was fluttering all the way down to waist length.

I was shocked, and the second I saw it, almost the same second it was gone. I later learned that this same mirror (we received it at a garage sale) killed a young girl in a car crash. I'm not allowed to sell it. Still to this day I can't bear to stay in the same room as it. Now I am getting reactions from my friends that they are getting text messages from a girl, saying that I can't know about it. The even stranger thing is the messages are coming from MY phone. I'm scared and looking for help with my experiences.

Thanks for listening.

Red Star UFO in Mexico

Well my mom always talks to us about when she was younger. Well she told us that when she was younger she went to a funeral and she was the first one to come home with two of her sisters and they lived in Mexico. They were walking home and they saw a red object flying low in the sky. She said it looked like a star with a lot of spikes but the weird thing is that when that red object was passing by she said they couldn't hear nothing, it was like silent and I thought it was maybe a UFO and she said it was flying towards (the pressa) which is were the water is at. It was something weird because it was a red object and no one could hear anything and it passed by very slowly and as it passed by it was leaving like red color in the sky.

Sounds in the Attic

ok so this happened like 5 minutes ago. wait, first let me tell you about my house. my house has never been haunted before because I have been living in this house for 15 years. so we added onto our house. we constructed my parents room and my sisters room. we have rats in our attic and we have caught many so far. but this time when we added on to our house, we completely blocked off the attic from the rats in my parents and sister's room.

so I was on the computer and I was looking at ghost websites and such and next thing you know I hear a scratching like a rat right above me. I look up and I yell for my sister. it keeps going until she comes in the room and I tell her to listen but no sounds. I tell her that I heard scratching like a rat and she says whatever. so she leaves and the minute she's out of the room I heard 3 large scratches/hits against the ceiling. its been about 10 minutes now and I haven't heard anything yet.

is it my imagination or is something other than rats in our attic clawing their way inside our home? this has happened before but never like this.
