Halloween & Creepy Stories share your Ghost Story

Happy Early All Hallow’s Eve

To celebrate the season, please share your creepy ghost or paranormal stories.

I have a few.

A few years ago I had to drive my son to work as he had car problems. It was very early and on my way back home I saw a Ghost soldier clear as day. 3-4ish am. The apparition was right by a street light and the way the light was and his body it was somewhat translucent. He did not move, it was almost like I was seeing a point in time. The uniform looked old, and I immediately thought Civil War Union Soldier, but something wasn’t right. Someone else locally posted they too had seen a soldier. Soon there were scores of people sharing similar stories. I found out what I saw was not a Union solider but a WWII prisoner of War. I found out there were camps all over the place here. Just recently I found out there is a cemetery very close to the area I saw the ghost.
I looked, and it appeared to be all for local families, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there were other unnamed burials there.

I have another good one I will share later. I’d love to hear yours!!!

btw they made those POW’s work farm labor while they were here. You hear a lot about that with the Japanese but we don’t often hear about it with the Germans.

When I was 8 years old I was listening to music with a friend, we was singing along, Suddenly I heard a strange sound in the music and I felt the hairs on my body stand up and felt like my soul left my body. My friend did not react at all.

I was not the kid that god afraid and stuff, but somehow this scared me so much.
Then I heard the sound again, but this time I think I heard it coming from outside near the open window in my small room.
I was living in a remote house surrounded by farm land, and I knew nobody was supposed to be out there.

And then somehow I just knew that some "thing" was hiding just next to the window just out of sight for me.. making a sound I never heard before. It was like a tik tik tik sound that made my blood boil. And somehow I just felt a evil presence, and got a panic attack, and start screaming and crying. To this day I have no idea what it was, I am a adult now.

When I was a teen I had a requiring dream about a man that kept smiling, I remembered his face each time I saw him in my dreams, he was always smiling with a evil grin. Nothing much happened in the dreams, but it was often I a empty theater and he was standing on a stage dimly lit, smiling. A feeling of terror and panic was what I got when looking at him. If I had the fever, he was most certain to appear in my dreams. This happened over a period of at least 5 years.

Unless someone experiences it, they will never understand, but I do.
I lived in an old haunted house. It used to be a Dr’s office. I saw a man covered in blood looking in the second story window, no stairs so he was floating. I screamed, ran and hid under a chair and cried. I was so utterly terrified. I have never been so glad to move out of a place like I did that place. In the middle of the night we would hear a very distinct digging sound, like a shovel hitting rocks. It was so unsettling. My cats would always see things on the ceiling and in the corners too.

When i was a kid, my parents dropped me in to the country side to visit my friend, this huge house, almost like a manor, the house was used to treat patients with leprosy or something, and later it was used as a military hospital, anyways, his parents were working, and my friend was recovering from a small surgery at the time, so we had the whole house to ourselves, at some point he remembered that they had a bunch of apples stored away in the basement, so we decided to go look for them,

The stairs down in to the basement was long, and the space was like a maze, then we found our treasure, delicious apples right in the furthest corner of the basement, there were hallways and rooms all over.

Then the lights went out and it was pitch black.

My first instinct was to scream and run, but i know i would not get anywhere and would only hurt myself, so step by step, we made it trough this giant basement in complete silence.

when we reached the stairs, i asked that is there someone in the house, playing a prank on us? He said no, and i replied that the light bulb better be burned&dead.

When we got up, i could see the light switch, it was really old and heavy duty, you really had to turn it on and off, and of course it was somehow turned to off position, there were no timers or anything, just an old switch.

Once we got out, i said to my friend that that was the first and last time i ever went down to that basement.

There were also lots of unfortunate events in that house, with that family, but i am going to leave that out to respect the privacy of my old childhood friend.

A few years ago, I created some threads about my alma mater Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. The area is always in the top 5 lists of haunted places in the US. It is a collection of all the stories that I know about, including some of my own personal experiences. I usually bring them up around this time of the year. Enjoy.

I have an idea for a horror movie:

It's called: The Wife

M. Night Shyamalan could do it.

That's all.

Oh oh..

Keep an eye on that one.

I have two.

When I was about 12, I came home after school and went into the basement bathroom. I saw my uncle sitting on the laundry basket. He smiled then faded. The laundry basket was literally an old, broken wicker basket that couldn't hold up a child, let alone an adult. I wasn't scared at all, just thought it was strange. When I went upstairs, my mom told me he had passed away that day.

The second time was in another basement bathroom, different house. It never bothered me for years until I was about 22 and visiting my parents. I got so creeped out passing by that I'd sneak up to use the upstairs bathroom that my mom kept all fancy for guests. I'd risk her wrath rather than go near that bathroom. Many years passed and during that time my parents were out of the country for some time and let their neighbours, who were doing renovations to their own house, live in the house. One year we all got together for a christmas dinner, the family, friends and neighbours. In casual conversation, one of the neighbours mention their time at the house and said to me "what's up with that bathroom?" Turns out they had the exact same experience and were totally creeped out, and used my mom's fancy bathroom.

I'm not normally spooked by things and in this house for years we had a skull my brother had found in the yard sitting on my dad's desk, right where you could see it coming in the front door. If I ever came home alone, I always felt safe that at least someone was with me (the skull) My parents had called archaeologists who, once it was decided it wasn't a modern murder, figured it was the skull of a native who died of smallpox, as the hill we lived on was known for that. The local native community wasn't interested in having it, back in those days, so we gave it a spot to hang out. Eventually, it was reburied. I wonder if it was angry about being put back. The small pox deaths were not allowed to be buried with the rest of the ancestors.

Editing to add... why is it always basement bathrooms? Is this a thing with ghosts?

That was creepy!!!

I lived in a house built in 1937. It was completely original, and had the weirdest basement bathroom.
There was a toilet, and a shower. Seriously looked like something out of a horror scene. Oddly enough, absolutely no
Weird activity down there!
