Let me know what you think of these stories! Last couple of title cards didn’t render out properly I’m now noticing. Case 5 was submitted by Kate (and her fantastically named dog) and I unfortunately don’t have a name for the person who submitted Case 6.
No but I'm an paranormal investigator.
Yes- and please look into the Bridgewater Triangle in Massachusetts. You won't be disappointed
You're the best. Thanks for all that you do!
YESSSSSSSS!!!

Edit:
To answer your question
Do bears 💩 in the woods?
Yes indeed
Oh yes!!!! Lots of paranormal
Thank you ❤
No, but my family have. This happened some time after I moved out. It took place in the basement where my siblings sleep. One night, my brother saw a little girl walking from one bedroom to the other. All three of my siblings would be seeing her. My youngest was so scared of the experience she slept upstairs. Our parents asked a church friend to bless the house, and she was never seen again. They said she died in what was originally my bedroom from malnourishment.
Another good one sir keep it up
19:05 That bloody noise still freaks the sh*t outta me after hearing the story!

Yes

Intill my late teens then seldom occasions up till 23 almost then they got really bad again for 8months or so. Since then just random acurances , but I still have the terrifying nightmares that seem so real I remember my grandma telling me not to worry I will get used to it and that it's I am what they call Faye I don't know I just never thought anything of it when I was younger I don't know the nightmares that keep reoccurring in some dreams some of them have came true but they're all still nightmares for me and been that way since I was 3 an a half yrs old!!! Thank you , Sincerly- Brandi Mae West.
I have a somewhat benign, maybe kind of positive experience.
When I was a kid, like early primary school, my family were close friends with another family. Their oldest daughter and I were only a month apart in age, and with my little sister, we were close like siblings.
My friends grandmother looked after all of us kids every day after school and most of the time during school holidays, so we spent a LOT of time at her house. She was practically our own Nanna.
It was an old housing commission house (like public housing or council housing for low income people) so it was a bit rough and had seen a lot of history. Many many kinds of people had pass through these housing systems, so obviously this house was rough but still liveable.
I have 2 paranormal parts for this house.
Now, the layout of the house was like lounge room, dining room, and kitchen on the left, 3 bedrooms on the right, and a longish hallway down the middle ending in the bathroom and separate toilet room.
No matter where one stood in the house, you could see the hallway, and it was this hallway where everyone saw the shadow of walking legs down the hallway. Multiple times. I don’t remember ever hearing anything, or being afraid of it, but it was always only in the hallway, and only the walking action of a pair of shadowy legs walking, everyone who’s spent time in the house has seen it, and we think it leads to the second part.
We spent many nights at nannas house, school nights, holidays, whenever our parents needed us out of the house we would be sent to nannas. Inevitably one if us would wake up sick in the night, and more than once our nanna would come in and tend to us. We could never figure out how she’d known we were sick, the other two would be asleep so no one went to get her, or so we thought. Years later she’d told us she’d be woken up by something in her room. The first time she thought it was one of us kids sneaking in, but when she’s get up and look, no one was there, so she came to check on us and found whoever was sick. And apparently this would happen every time we were sick in the night.
She was a devout Mormon, and I don’t really know what her beliefs there were, but I do believe in ghosts (though I am quite skeptical) and I think that at least some of the dozens of people who lived and possibly occasionally passed in the house were looking out for us.
Nanna passed last year and even though we rarely saw her, now we’re in our 20’s, we miss her so so much.
I have had many paranormal experiences. Starting at about 7 and continuing throughout my life. My father also had them up until his death.
Yes, I’ve experienced the paranormal a number of times in my life. I even have a photo of an IN COLOR, FULL-BODIED APPARITION, with the 25 witnesses to “no fakery”, from a “walking haunted ghost tour”, in Mephis, TN., U.S.A. The spirit “attached” to me, because I’d stupidly “acknowledged it”, by showing the pic to our tour guide, who announced it to ALL the other tour members. Of course, they wanted to SEE IT!!!! 🤦🏼♀️ Fortunately, before my mom and I left our hotel for our return to Florida, I announced that the “spirit” had to stay behind and could NOT attach itself to me or any of my belongings. My mom then repeated the sentiment. (She ALREADY HAS a “resident spirit” in her home. But THAT is another story, altogether!!!!
My mom’s side of the family, mainly the women, have ALWAYS seen and heard spirits, and experienced the paranormal. My dad saw a UFO, CLOSE UP AND BRIEFLY BLOCKING HIS PASSAGE ON THE ROAD, when we lived in Ohio……
I can talk to dead people that I don't know and from long ago but know 1 believes me
Im psychic. Ive dreamt stuff who later had happened. My first ghost I saw in my teens. He looked angrily at me, while pointing at his watch. I dreamt of a murder that happened at the same time as I dreamt of it …
Yes. I am definitely no longer a skeptic. What I experienced could not be explained at all and was very scary.
My former apt was haunted. The doors of the closet went open by themselves. Something took a shower in the bathroom,although there was noone there. She sang, the ghost. I felt ghostly fingers on my neck. I saw Hasse after his death of stommach cancer, he was very pale and just stared at me.
Then I was in Sundsvall, at the sanitarium and there, I saw a boy I had not seen before the dream the night before- in it were the boy I saw hiding amongst the bushes.
In the dream he came out from the little school next to the sanatorium. (Where the headmaster hung himself)
He said , dont go in here, things have happend here.
Yes my house is quite haunted
Yes. Staying with friends for a weekend in their old two story home, I woke in the middle of the night sweating The room was stifling hot
I got up to open the window which due to age, and paint … was extremely difficult to lift. I had to slowly lift the right then left then right then left. As I finally got it to where fresh air was able to enter the room, suddenly without warning the heavy window SLAMMED down with such force, the tip of my middle finger on my right hand was in the way and was severely crushed
In the morning I showed my friends the story and showed them my swollen and bruised finger.
They then told me that the room I was sleeping in was the room that the wife of the elderly couple was cared for by her husband as she was dying. They said they believe he did not want the cool night air blowing on his dying wife. What was really weird …just to check on the window. We tried several times to see if the window would slam down. It would not. Once it was walked up and open, the only way to get it to get it back down was to walk it slowly with a lot of effort. As long as my friends lived in that house, that window never slammed down again.
to this day I have replayed what happened and have absolutely no explanation.
Life Itself is a Paranormal Thing, a NearDeathExperience…be cautious.
My Dad did in Susanville California when he was a kid. I can tell you all about it @TheTapeLibrary. This story took place in a House in Susanville, the house is still there, it was the sight of a terrible murder, i can even show the news article
Yes
Yes, several times. And I may like to share.
Welcome to the Terrordome..!
No never but i love listening to ghost stories
Have I experienced something? Yes, twice. The first time was when my father was explaining that my native american stepmom had a spirit thats followed her since birth. I blew it off as fiction until we heard what sounded like a girl talking outside. We muted the tv and heard laughing coming from my parents closet.
The other time was when i lived with my friends in an apartment in 2022. The laundromat key randomly disappeared for 2 weeks and reappeared randomly on the key rack after we had already replaced it. Nobody claimed that they ever found the key. So thats fucked up. We used to joke that theres a demon that takes random things, then puts it back after we've forgotten about it.
Yes I have experienced unusual events as well.
I never believed in the paranormal until I moved into a house that only feer away from the train tracks. I always heard of ghostly stories about the train.. but I never realized that my home might of been affected by these rumors. We lived in the house for about a month before we decided to open the attic. This was an Ohio home that had a basement and an attic, the basement was fully furnished with a bar and the laundry room was with it as well.. we found the attic which had steps up to it and a trapped door. We decided to leave it alone for two months when we moved in because we left all of our storage in the garage but things started to get cluttered so we decided to move our extra stuff unto the attic. Once we opened the trapped door we felt the energy change in the house.. we didn't know what had happened and just dealt with it. My cousin who was sensitive to spiritual things came over and said she can feel the energy of the home. She said it felt demonic, that there wS a energy thay is causing negative effects. We would hear stomping and yelling on a day to day basis. Heavy energy, it felt almost like we couldn't breath. We were hear stomping and yelling. My mother thought we were making it all up until one week when she was stick at home sick from work.. then she heard it all.. we moved shortly after.
Experienced way too many random paranormal experiences until i was 20 and then haven't had any since..
I live in a haunted former brothel in Astoria Oregon. I don't sleep in the back bedroom and hardly ever go in there because of the bad vibes, I have a walled up room in my house and no idea what might be in there and am a believer in leave it be, my kitchen becomes alive at around 3am every night, I had the former "Madam" clearly say "I'm Alice" in my right ear while I was washing dishes, I've got an actual photo I took of Alice in my bathroom, and I live alone and like to watch paranormal videos on YouTube because obviously I'm not normal.
It's fair to say that nothing really spooks me anymore lol 🎩👻
I provoke ghosts all the time. They sure are shy
Yes and I will be looking for that email
Oh hell yeah I've had paranormal episodes
Just stumbled across your channel today and I’m hooked. Great content 🤘🏼
I’ve had paranormal experiences on the regular since I moved into my house. The ghosts are all children, ranging from the age of 5 to 15. For some reason, I immediately took on a parental role with them.
They didn’t want me there at first, but when they realized I could see their vague outlines they started to warm up. After all, they were once people, and people want to be seen and heard.
Sometimes I catch myself calling out to them by their names, only because I heard their footsteps and recognized them.
Sadly, yes. All my life.
Yes ..many experiences, as have other members of my family. So many stories
Recently found your channel and quickly liked and subscribed.
My story is actually my mother’s. First a bit of background. My mother received a beautician’s license when she was just 18. She worked for various salons for about ten years. It was at that time, she bought the business she was at from the owner, as that lady was retiring. Mom had a big clientele built for herself, andthe other girls in the salon did too. The business flourished. After a number of years, Mom was ready to gear down, and ultimately retire. She bought another building and asked her dear friend and top hairdresser; a lady named Sandy, to join her in this new venture.
Sandy agreed to the offer and the two did well. They took trips together for holiday. Trips to all parts of the country. It’s on one of these trips that my mother’s tale hangs.
Sandy and mom decided to take a trip to Vicksburg, located in Mississippi. The town is the location of many events during the United States Civil War.
One sunny afternoon, the pair decided to visit the Civil War Cemetery in Vicksburg. They strolled up and down the seemingly never ending rows of headstones that marked the final resting places of thousands of soldiers. My mother began to feel an overwhelming sense of sorrow. Tears streamed down her face as she lifted her head and faced her friend. Sandy was weeping as well. Sandy said to my mother;
“Please, I’d like to leave.” Mom shook her head in agreement and the pair began their trek back to their car. They reached the cemetery road and had taken no more than 10 or 15 steps when they stopped dead in their tracks. Coming down a slight hill, directly ahead of them, were three persons in period clothing. All arm in arm. The young man in the middle, was being supported by two women. The young man was missing his right leg. His head hanging, chin to his chest. The women helping the soldier, dressed in Confederate uniform, mourned in almost hushed tones. But clearly audible. Sandy and my mother almost instinctively ran to their car.
Speeding out of the cemetery, Sandy angrily pounded on the dash yelled out; “why do they make these reenactments so real!”
Mom shook her head, her voice shaky, replied to Sandy; “Dear, they had no feet.”
