White Beast
My husband and I were taking a drive one night down Route 35 going toward Winfield. We had just gotten to where there were no lights or houses around. I was looking out my window trying not to be scared of what I might see.
Joe (my husband) had said...
White Thing
It was mid-January in Four States, West Virginia and I was walking through the woods. I heard something rustling in the brush about 100 yards away. I walked up a right-of-way to see what it was. I wish I‘d stayed home.
As I topped the right-of-way, what appeared to be...
What In The World Is It?
One night back in 1999 I was at Chief Logan State Park all by myself, there was no one else up there. When I was getting ready to leave, I heard something scream, but it sounded like a very high pitch, a screech, but very intense.
It sounded like no...
The Japanese Sword
I can remember this as if it were just yesterday. My aunt and uncle called begging mom and dad to bring us boys and come spend the night with them. They lived up on West Fork of Harts Creek. They didn't have any children and they said they really...
Bobby’s Guardian Angel
In my other submissions to this site, I have mentioned West Virginian spirits or "ghosts" that seem to follow me around the country. This, too, is one of those instances.
In 1989, my daughter was on her way to the hospital to deliver a baby boy, in hard labor. It...
Dead Cranberry Coal Miner Still Walks The Tracks
This story takes place in Cranberry West Virginia, just outside of Beckley. When I was young growing up in Cranberry it was a favorite pastime for all of the boys to walk the train tracks to Skelton and back. We would walk on the rail as long as we...
The Knocking
I pulled into my friend's driveway at 3:00am one morning, he was asleep and I seen that his window was wide-open upstairs. I started throwing rocks and clumps of mud into his window to wake him up.
Across the road is an old abandoned miners house that is rotting away....
What Followed Me?
In the 1950's I often went to my relative's in Wirt County to visit on the week-ends. The procedure was to drop them a post-card early in the week saying I would take the Greyhound bus to the stop where they picked me up.
I did exactly that one week...
The Indian
I am 14 years old, this is a story that my brother told me, he is 27, and I am sure he would not lie about this. He delivers mine supplies for Belo Mine Supply in Belo, WV, which is close to Delbarton, Varney, and Ragland.
He was delivering mine...
Dancing Lights
My father had always told me about these "lights" that dance whenever someone dies. They start in the family graveyard, go up in the field and then back to the graveyard. Only a few people in the family had seen this. On March 23, 1998 my father died. My...
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...
Weird Sounds
I am now 18 years old and live in Minnesota, but I lived most of my life in a little holler called Chapman Branch, located on North Fork Road just outside of the town of Chapmansville. I was about 17 when this occurred. It was early fall, around the...
