My old house....
Submitted by: Dars, Australia (Added 28/12/03)

My old house was freaky and dark when we moved in. I hated the colours - avocado green and dark brown, and i didn't like the fact that there was a hallway leading to a closed off doorway.

When i was in 5th grade my mum cleared out the spare room at my request and let me have my own room, seperate from my sister.

The only thing i didn't like about it was that it was next to the old cottage (that was directly attached to our house but no one lived in) and it was next to that hallway.

It was great having my own room! i could sing in my mirror and dance and be stupid without my sister telling me not to be such a "goob", but then wierd stuff started to happen.

One night i went to bed and started to drift off. About 10 minutes later i woke suddenly out of a half-dream and felt really wierd. i looked around the room and, as would be expected, i felt slightly groggy. i lifted my hand up and was horrified to see my fingers elongated, like long twigs with spiky, dangerous fingernails. i couldn't get the thought of dead sheep out of my head and i could smell something wierd.

i called for my mother who assured me it was ok and brought our large cat in to sleep on my bed. she said that if the cat was there nothing wierd would happen because cats are extra-sensitive. comforted, i returned to sleep.

however, just nights later i woke up with the same feeling, and dreading the outcome, i once again outstretched my hand. again, it terrified me and i could think only of dead sheep, and this time the sound of nails scraping a blackboard. my mother couldn't find the cat.

after weeks and weeks of being terrified and experiencing the wierd hand thing, i stopped trying to lift my hand. i just lay there trying to figure out what it was. to this day i am unsure if what follows is simply the product of an overactive imagination, but i know that directly after it was deadly real.

i drifted into a half-sleep, as i usually did, and once again i woke up. i didn't lift my hand and dead sheep didn't even cross my mind. i knew something was in my room, something - dark, that's the only way i can describe it.

i gathered enough courage to glance at the clock - 11.00pm. for at least 10 minutes i could not bring myself even so much as to wiggle my fingers. i was petrified.

As soon as i managed, that is, once the i had squashed my fear enough, i ran out of my room and dove into my younger sister's bed. i refused to say what had happened and we both fell asleep.

the next night my mother insisted i sleep in my own room. with dread i relented and went to sleep. this time i fell almost immediately asleep due to the previous night's experience. but, at 4am (i glanced the clock as i woke) i stirred to sense being watched. something was in my room again. i felt terrified but even more than that, like i actually physically couldn't move... i felt stifled, i felt hot, i felt that it would never go away - or, more accurately, that time had stopped and i would never be able to move again.

an hour later, as the sun began to rise and a grey light filtered into my room from the window opposite my bed, i felt finally as though i could move. i felt as if the weak light had somehow managed to release me from my "oppressor" and my fear. to scared still to move, i didn't sleep again that night. i waited until at least 1/2 an hour later before i got up and went into the TV room, still really jumpy, and turned the tele on.

after that, i refused to sleep in my room for at least 2 weeks. nothing my mother could threaten or bribe me with would work. i would not sleep in there. eventually i worked up the courage to sleep in there again. this time with my sister. nothing happened that night nor the following nights.

i woke up one night with that fear again but i quickly turned my light on and nothing came of it. maybe it was just me being scared that it might happen again.

years later, once we had moved to our new home. my mother told me something that scared me so much. she said that while i was going through that "phase" of being terrified or my room, she and my dad had seen something dark float into my room from the sitting room. (!!!)

this was so shocking and terrifying, but i felt finally i was right! i wasn't being paranoid. something had happened to me.

Shadows
Submitted by: Gilbert Oufdeswach, Western Australia (Added 28/12/03)

Every now and again, when my friends are over, we go outside at night and roam the streets playing wars.

Often in the shadows, we see dark 2-dimensional shadows, but they don't move, but when we look directly at them , they disappear.

We can only see them out of the corner of our eyes. We went to investigate, there was nothing there. However the terrain it was standing on was grotesque. It's hard to explain.

note: this is not a figment of my imagination
Strange Lights in the Sky
Submitted by: Che Patterson, Geraldton, Western Australia (Added 28/12/03)

This happened ab few weeks ago now. it was during the school holidays, i was with my parents at a barbeque, when one of my brothers when a stranger pointed out some lights in the sky. there were about five of them and they were moving north west very slowly.

I was quite interestede in aliens and other stuff like that, so i tried to think of a reasonable explanation. at first i thought they were birds, but this was at eight o'clock on a winters night, so why were they glowing red.

Anyway, a few days after that, they appeared again, only in smaller numbers and they were dimmer. this was at about six.

WHAT THE HELL WAS HAPPENING! HALF THE TOWN SAW THEM, BUT THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION ATTEMPT OR ANY THING!!!!!!
Strange Experience
Submitted by: Anonymous, Port Headland, Western Australia (Added 28/12/03)

Me and my folks were driving from Mount Magnet to Cue on the dirt track when the tires went down.

me and my brothers were asleep in the back of the ute when we heared a gunshot. we thought it was just someone shooting roos but then we heared richochets near the ute just further than we could see.

dad told us to duck so we didn't see what happened but it suunded as if people were running past the car. dad said no-one was there but he could feel them moving past him. thats about it.

Xjq's Experiences
Submitted by: xjq, Adelaide, Australia (Added 28/12/2003)

I have had a few experiences, of all sorts.

I was having a shower at a friends house, and I was there alone. I turned around, and standing outside the shower door was a figure of a man. I was a little freaked, so I turned away. When I turned back, it was gone. the door had been shut the whole time, and no one else was in the house.

I moved into a rental house with my husband and kids, and we were to find out later it was a deceased estate. An elderly lady had died there a few years before. Anyway I never really felt comfortable in the house, and at night when I was laying in bed, I felt an angry presence standing over me. It seemed like it just didn't want me there. I was very glad to leave that house.

My uncle died in 1997. For 1 week before he died, I had a strong feeling that something horrible was going to happen to someone I knew, I just didn't know who, or when. At exactly the time he died, I woke up, knowing something had happened, but still didn't know what. I rang my mother later, and found out he had died.
I have a lot of these feelings, knowing things before they happen. I knew what sex all my children would be, and their exact birth weights. I also knew I was having twins when I was 6 weeks pregnant with no medical confirmation, it's just feelings I get.

Sometimes it freaks me out, like when I see apparitions, or sense them. It depends on their energy, but I'm happy I have the gift.

Dark Figure
Submitted by: Longbow, Geraldton, WA (Added 28/12/2003)

Firstly, i would like to add that i love this site, and i have found it very informative.

One night, about a year ago, when i was at the local skate park with my friend, i spotted a dark, transparent, humanoid figure by the playground. I can confirm that this was not a piece of equipment, or a shadow, as it was upright facing, and no shadow ever looked like what it was. It was completely black, but i could see right through it.

Afterwards, i felt drowzy, so i went to bed a lot earlier as i normally did. I woke up in the morning with a chronic headache, so intense, that i took nearly a week off school (i am 15 years old, grade 10) The doctor told me that it was possibly from intense light struck a nerve in my eye, causing the headaches. I guess that it was from looking at the figure. My friend also suffered from headaches, although not as intense.
I was wondering if you could help me as to what kind of entity it is. I am very curious to find out what this 'Black Ghost' really is.

cheers!

Scratching...
Submitted by: Mandy, Adelaide, Australia (Added 28/12/2003)

i was about 13 when this happened. i had invited a friend to stay at my house and we stayed up late talking, as teens do. i think we went to sleep just after midnight.

but not long after i woke up to hear a scratching sound. i looked down to see if it was my friend because i didn't know where it was coming from, and she was awake too. she looked at me and said "what the hell is that?" as she said it, the sound stopped. we eventually went to sleep again, i don't know how.

but, once more, not long after, we awoke to hear the scratching. i whispered, "where's it coming from?" and she said she thought it was from my desk. i agreed but i couldn't see the desk too well. so i turned on the light... we both got up and crept over to the desk, breathing heavily and half expecting to see a character with a chainsaw jump out at us... there was nothing there... except to faint scratch marks that i swore weren't there before. we felt really cold despite it being february.

my friend and i were terrified and went to sleep in the next room. the next night, the same thing happened, but when we went over to see it again, a little more enboldened, there was nothing there. this has only happened two other times since but it is puzzling still...

Devonport Haunting
Submitted by: Mat, Melbourne, Australia (Added 28/12/2003)

I lived in Devonport, Tasmania, in a house on a hill. It was one of the oldest houses in the area, and was the highest point in the suburb.

On the first day we moved in there an apparition appeared on the path in the back yard. It was of a lady in white. She walked towards the left hand back of the yard and disappeared. Later that day whilst exploring we found a grave with a single white cross with the name marked simply "baby".

The strange thing about this is after talking to the neighbours who'd lived there for 45 years told us that for the last 10 years the previous occupants had never had a pet, yet this grave was fresh enough for no grass to be on it. It was surrounded by stones and was a rough oval shape.

The house was definately haunted. Doors would open and close. We'd hear footsteps but no-one was there, things would be moved or disappear only to be found in strange places like the car keys in the freezer.

Anyone who walked into the house agreed, even those who did not believe in the paranormal that the house was strange.

One day my housemate began to act strange. She was being silly and we were having a staring competition.

All of a sudden I started to sob uncontrollably and after that I'm not completely sure what happened after that but I remember looking into her eyes and realising they were bright blue (she has dark brown eyes) and then she grabbed hold of my arms and I remember screaming.

She let go of me as her husband came into the room.

Then she sat down and began to write strange things on a piece of paper nonsense things that did not make sense. She would not speak, she just kept smiling really strangely. Her husband kept talking to her but she would not respond, after a while he moved closer to her, but she got up and went to the front patio. We followed worried what she might do and scared stiff.

Then suddenly she grabbed her husband and by one hand picked him up off the ground and held him by the throat with one hand - his feet were dangling in the air. I shoved her flying to make her stop choking him, but the really strange thing is he is a very big muscly man who is nearly 6 feet tall, and she is a short person as in 5ft 3-4". how she did what she did I do not know there is no way normally never have the strength to lift him at all, let alone with one hand.
After I shoved her flying she seemed to snap out of it, her eyes went back to being brown but she could not remember what had happened and did not believe us until he showed her his throat which had finger prints on it and he was gasping for breath.

About two days later she and I were at home in the lounge room talking about it when all of a sudden she stopped talking and again her eyes went blue.

I got really scared this time and picked up the phone book thinking to look for someone or something that could help, she calmly asked me what I was doing in a strange voice that did not sound at all like her and i said nothing. She asked me again and again I said nothing.

When I looked back down at my lap the phone book was opened and it had opened to clairvoiyants and a name Debbie flew out at me. I picked up the phone to call and again she asked me what was I doing?

I do not know how but in a split second she was by my side from across the room and had wrapped the phone around my neck and was strangling me with it. I managed to escape her by knocking her flying and unwrapped the cord. She again like the previous time snapped out of it.

I rang the clairvoiyant who told is to leave the house while she attempted to find out what was going on. about 500 metres down the road my flatmate stopped the car and began to be violently sick - it was at the same time the clairvoiyant had begun a cleansing ritual.

The trouble was not to stop there however other strange occurances continued to happen.

In the middle of summer when you walked into a room it would be icy cold and then anyone who felt the 'cold' would get a strange angry feeling come over them. We manged to completely convert some die hard sceptics into believing in ghosts in that house.

Eventually we moved as it got too weird and it seemed to be affecting everyone really badly.

The site of the house we found out had meridian points that crossed over (something to do with the geographical layout) right on the spot the house was built.

I'm convinced she was possessed
