King’s Bend, Wetzel County, WV

Let me start out by saying that, like most posts I've read on here, before this experience I was a firm non-believer. There exists a moment in this story that I actually thought, "Holy moly ghosts are REAL!". It was that vivid, that clear, and that undeniable. This is private...
Protector Of Our House

Protector Of Our House

My wife and I moved to West Virginia 2.5 years ago with our son Jacob. 16 months ago our second child (a daughter) was born. I believe what we have experienced is a protector of either our family or our domicile. The first instance was when my wife was...
Childers Road Barboursville

Visit From My Great-Grandmother

Visit From My Great-Grandmother

Was It A Dream?

Was It A Dream?

This happened in December of 2007 in Belington, WV when I was seventeen. My girlfriend and I at the time were sitting in the living room listening to music. It was night but I’m not too sure what time it was... probably around 8. I happened to look down the hall...
The House On Sammy Street

The House On Sammy Street

I was best friends with the three who rented out "The House", as we referred to it. Even though I technically lived in North Tower at Concord, I found myself staying at 137 Sammy Street every weekend, as well as a few weekdays here and there. I had heard...
Unseen Singers In The Woods

Unseen Singers In The Woods

Since my mildly autistic 12 year old has no siblings and lacks somewhat in the social graces, I've been, equal parts father and playmate while spending, as you might expect, considerable time in the park. Tomlinson Run State Park, that is. In fact, when his homework-obsessed mother leaves for...
Gumboots

Gumboots

My Aunt and Uncle used to have an old house in Clay County, West Virginia. During the summer, my sister and I would sometimes spend weekends, and even weeks there with them and their four children. Their house was what you could call "cut-off" from everyone. The driveway was...
