Other Encounters

Two of my friends were hiking through the woods behind the Regal Oaks housing development a little while ago. They hiked for what they said was around two hours. There is a trail, and the land is very remote. In several places, my friends noted, that the trail was...

Ok, I do not believe in ghosts, or the dead coming back from the grave. Most people enjoy a good ghost story, but what happened to me cannot be explained. This is a real true story. I was about 18 at the time, I moved out of my parent's...

This event happened when I was about 10 years old, in 1950. We lived in an old log house set halfway up a hill in the middle of a pasture field.  There were no houses within a half mile of us. A barbed wire fence completely surrounded the house...

A friend of mine's brother bought a house in the Albright area about a year ago. My friend also moved into his brother's house as care taker. I visited him there in June of 2010 for a week. The first night I stayed in the house, I felt a...

This is a story my dad told me when I was little. It all started when my grandfather was up in age and couldn't take too much aggravation. The grand kids would come over to stay all night. There were two sisters who would fight, they would pull each...

You may not believe this story but to tell you the truth I really don't care if you do or don't. Anyways, Myself and a few of my friends were walking in the woods directly beside their house. They were going to show me an old tree house that...

It's been several months since I wrote the story "The witch in my room" back in October, and the story hasn't ended and probably never will. My life can't go back to the way it was because of the evil that has stepped into it. I said last time...

Back in the spring of 2002 my mother-in-law began to show signs of a terminal illness. She was losing weight and wasn't doing well at all. We tried to get her to go to the hospital but, she was very stubborn and refused. My husband and I talked and...

In 1983, I was living and working for a large nuclear power plant in southern California. I had just returned to work from having an emergency surgery. It was about ten minutes until quitting time, when an employee came through my workstation and I had to search him before...

On February 16, 2002, my girl friend and I were in front of the Pax Cemetery. It was almost dark, I looked through my driver's side window, and something told me to get out. I did not hear any thing I just could not resist. Then I happened to...

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...

After a day of indecision and snow squalls, my sister and I decided we would make the 84-odd-mile trek from Williamson, West Virginia to Huntington, West Virginia to arrange our summer schedules at Marshall University. We had planned this trip for weeks. The earlier you get registered, the more insured...
