Ghost Encounters

My grandmother had died in 2001, and since then my family has had problems getting along. My grandmother held a deep hatred of my father for what reason I do not know, but she kept his brother as well as his sister against him. Well when she was in...

For years at my home my brother and sister and me would always hear the basement door that connected to the garage open and close. We always assumed it was dad coming home from work and we would run to see him but there was never anyone there. It...

After attending UC for 3 years now, I can tell you a LOT about this place, but Dickinson is a whole story in itself. I lived there for only a little over a month before all the students there were moved to the new dorm and Dickinson's third and...

I went to the West Virginia Penitentiary it was very scary. I went to the jail for just a normal tour. I went on a Sunday with my dad and my mom. We just thought that it was going to be a normal tour but it was not. It was...

I am pagan and I have read a lot about seances. A group of friends pressured me into conducting one, even though I had never held one before. We went to a cemetery in Twin Falls; it was an older cemetery and there is a play area within the...
