Ghost Encounters

Every night around 2am, anyone who is in my house can hear noises or someone walking when everyone is in bed. It was around 1:30 to 2am, my sister and her friend were up on a Saturday night playing some kind of a Nintendo game and my brother was...

My mother told me this story. It happened to her years ago (1940's) when she lived in the coal mining region of West Virginia, and was then married to her first husband. If my own mother didn't tell me this first-hand, I'm not sure if I'd believe it, but...

My grandparents own the house that I have lived in my whole life because my grandparents rented it out to my mom. Weird things have always happened there. For example, when my sister was about twelve years old (she is now twenty three), she was dragged out of bed...

It is common knowledge in the community of Glenville that there is a ghost on the campus of the local state college. As far as known, it has never been seen but has been heard on numerous occasions by certain students, faculty members, and building caretakers as it passes...

When I was 12 we moved into a new house. It was built on a piece of land across Isner Creek. The first night I stayed there, I heard the sound of drums. I looked out my window and saw nothing. The next day was the anniversary of the...

The story that I am about to tell is different stories rolled in one, simply because they happened around the same place, but at different times. My cousin who happens to be my best friend has encountered and heard of different sightings on and around this old home place....

My mother, like many other West Virginians, was raised in a small two-bedroom coal camp house during the depression. It was located in Long Branch, WV. I know many readers will be able to picture this from their own childhood homes. My mother slept in the back bedroom, which...
