Cleansing a Home

I am a paranormal investigator and was working a case.

The client was telling us that their children where seeing dark people (as the kids called it), and wouldn't sleep in their beds. Stuff would go missing or end up in different places.

Then the mom saw an apparition of a child, which almost scared her to death.

My Little Old Woman

Submitted by: Steve Ripley

So here is my little experience that made me realize that my beliefs were valid after wondering about the paranormal since I was a kid afraid to go into the basement alone.

I live on Beatty st at the base of the big hill, and one summer evening a couple of years ago I was standing down where we park our cars to see my daughter and her friend off after a visit. She was chatting about how things would be shaping up for school, when I looked down the street toward the railroad tracks just as a motorcycle started up the road toward me and my attention moved to it.

Visitor On A Kentucky Farm

Submitted by: Shannon

Hello , I live in eastern Kentucky and this is what has been occurring in my area.

First I'll tell you about my Dad and cousin's encounter. One day he was hunting with my cousin Sam .

While in a Tree stand he heard a scream or yell.

My Sleep Paralysis Experience

Submitted by: Heddy Johannesen

I experienced something terrifying as I was sleeping. I had sleep paralysis.

But it was what I saw while I had sleep paralysis that forever changed my belief in demons and spirits and what the demon did.

The entire experience was thankfully a dream.

My Late Night Visitors

Submitted by: Pierre Ferri

Six years ago I lost my mother.

Two nights later I was in bed sleeping, and I was awoken by two figures at the end of my bed.

It was my mother and another lady.

The Wendigo

submitted by: Dylon Whyte

Hi, I'm Dylon and I like collecting Fortean stories. This one was told to me by a friend who was raised by his Grandfather on the Island. He preferred not to share the exact location or individuals involved.

I was just a young boy when Grandfather first told me stories of "the Windeego", a malicious spirit which inhabited the small lake beside his cabin that would sometimes tip canoes and try to drown children.

I have to say that growing up I never really believed him, until I was late returning home one evening while riding Grandfather's snow cat.
