The End Of My Doubt – Jackson Co.
I had just turned 16, and I had just started dating a cousin of my friend. We all decided to stay at his grandmother's that night, and all of us were very excited and we were planning a night of fun. Mostly we stayed on the large porch on...
Elkins Ghost
In the city of Elkins, home to the forest festival, there are many ghosts around. But this one is in my house.
I live across a bridge in the Gilmore area of Elkins. There is a ghost in my house. A young woman that died on the property in 1860....
Animals that Haunt?
When I was a little girl I had pets, a black cat and a mixed German Shepherd dog. They didn't get along very well of course. The dog always just wanted to play, but the cat wouldn't have no part of it. She would sit on the footstool in...
Dad’s Token
Around 1947 my father and mother built a two story frame house in the hollow of Grant County, known as Iman Hollow. Back then there was no electric running to the house, until several years later. Kerosene lamps, candles, and flashlights were the source of light after darkness fell.

The Drunken Sailor
About 12 years ago, my high school history club went to Harper's Ferry for the ghost tour. My friend had to go to the bathroom, so we went to the public rest rooms. The way the town is set up, there are streets that run down the hill to...
The Woman In The Hallway
This story takes place in my house. One night my mother and I were sitting on the couch watching a movie, and I caught a glimpse of something out the corner of my eye, I thought well it is nothing.
Then my mom turns and looks at me and says,...

The Witch In My Room II
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...
Naughty Or Nice
About a week ago I was staying with my aunt at the Pine Knoll Apartments. On this particular night me, my cousins, and a friend were getting ready to go to sleep (we slept in the living room) and out of no where I felt a finger or something...
Who Are You?
Just this past month, I saw a really strange thing. I was sitting in my room, and I was lonely because my friends hadn't called for days. After a few minutes the room got really cold, and I got scared. But no one was there. The temperature went back...
An Old Friend?
I thought this was really weird and decided to tell about it. Back in 2001 when I was 11 I got really sick. I went to lie down and started to feel really hot, probably from the fever. Then suddenly I felt something very cold on my head like...
The Witch In My Room
My father had brought this house from my Aunt Valley who had died. She had died in my room and I had no problems with that. If things started happening I knew I would be safe, because she was a very kind lady.
Well nothing actually happened til I was...
