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...
Strange Coincidence
My roommate, another friend, and I had a strange encounter about two years ago that recently came together for me about a week ago. I'm not exactly a skeptic when it comes to Ouija boards and had experimented a few times before, but after that night and a conversation...
The Legend Of The Screaming Thing
This story was told to me by my mother, and was also told to me by my best friend's mother. There are a lot of witnesses to this story, and most of them grew up on Paddle Creek. Some people believe Paddle Creek to be haunted. At night you...

Bruceton Legend
This happened to me and a friend in 2010. We were in the 7th grade and talked a lot after school on the phone. Well, we were talking one night and she told me that another house had burnt down in Bruceton. Ok, usually that's not a ghost thing,...
Mom’s Last Call

When I was about 16 years old, I had a good friend of mine named John Mitchell Burdette or “Mitch” for short. We both lived in the town of Sissonville which is situated along the Pocatalico River about 17 miles from Charleston.
There were several of us from Sissonville that...
Followed
My family and I were staying at Twin Falls State Park one year and decided to hike one of the trails. This trail was one where the state parks boundary meets someone’s private land. We saw a barrel hanging from a tree approximately 200 feet off the trail and...
Lady Knocking At The Tent
It was the night of July 6th. My three friends and I were camping out in the tent in our back yard. We were doing fairly well alone by ourselves until we went out to give the dog a drink of water. When the 4 of us came back...
What Is That Jumping On The Trailer!

It was around 11 pm, and I had just gone to bed from watching TV. My husband and the four older kids were still...
The Vision
All her life my grandma seemed to have the gift, if you would like to call it that, to see events, which had not yet occurred, either through dreams, visions or a feeling she would get about something.
In February of 1948 my grandfather was working as a contract lineman...
