Have you ever considered what goes on in motel rooms? Ever wondered if someone threw off their mortal coil in your room? Or if a grisly fate was met in that outpost on hwy 666?

This encounter is very similar to "The Slapper".
My
sister and I used to share a room and we had one of those daybeds...the one
where there's another bed under so you just pull it out when you go to sleep.
Well, that's the part that I slept on and my sister slept on the top bed.
Anyways, I was just sleeping, when I woke up all of a sudden. I felt someone on
top of me, I was sleeping on my stomach so they were on my back. I felt like
they were trying to violate and attack me so I tried to scream out for my sister
because she was right next to me, but my mouth would not open and no sounds
would come out. It freaked me out because
there was nothing over my mouth.
I started moving around trying to turn over so I could kick the person on me, but my body couldn't move either. This person was just holding me down very violently and I didn't know what to do. Then I felt like a hand reach inside my chest and start to squeeze my heart. I managed to turn my head around to see who was there but there was nothing there! At first I thought it was a dream, but then somehow I turned over and I saw a black figure which just looked like black fog, not a person. It was like a dark shadow floating very low to the ground.
It went
out of my bedroom and into the hall. That moment, I got up and ran to the hall
to try to see where it was going because I didn't want anything to happen to my
family, but it was gone. I went into every room of my house and checked on my
other sister and my parents. I didn't wake any of them up to tell them what
happened because they were sound asleep. The rest of that night I could
not sleep and my whole body was just tingly and shaky all over. It's weird
because nothing ever happened again after that.
Very strange
indeed... could be the "old hag" phenomenon... or worse... any history to the
house? any strange happenings in the neighborhood at that time?
Come on lady....

When I was 12 years old, my sister and her husband moved into a house with their 2 year old daughter. The owners had moved due to the fact that their teen age daughter's best friend was missing and they thought it would do her good to have a new start.
I
remember the day they moved in, I stayed at home but my mom went to help them
unpack and the such. My mom came home looking flushed and pale at the same time,
if you can imagine that. She was very strange acting, but it was summertime, and
I just thought she was overheated from the
work.
After a few weeks, I noticed that my sister and the baby were always at our house when her husband worked. Being 12, I loved it at first, but after a while having a little one around was getting to me. Also, my mom was often asking me to spend time with them at their house, and I didn't like being there. I often felt uncomfortable there, but was sure if I said anything they would think I was just "being a kid with an active imagination. I would go down in the basement and my niece would say to someone "come on lady" and it just made me shake!
I would run up the stairs and was scared to look back down the stairs, I just felt the hair on my neck stand up all the time I was in the basement. One night, I was staying in my nieces room, and I woke up and there was a girl sitting on my bed. I wasn't scared at the time, just curious. She got up and walked down the hall and I followed her. She was dressed in a white flowing dress and held her arms out to the side as if wanting to hug you, except I noticed that one of her hands were missing! She walked into the living room and just promptly evaporated!
The next time I saw her, I was in the basement with my niece, and she was once again saying "come on lady", which we now were accustomed to because she said it all the time!!! As I turned to help her up the steps (remember I never looked back down the steps) there stood the girl just as I remembered her, except she was holding her arms up as if to plead "help me!" I grabbed my niece and jerked her up the stairs....I told my sis "I'm going home NOW!" and I think she knew.
When I got home, my mom met me at the door and she said she had talked to my sis. She then said she needed to talk to me. She related that she had heard something on the day my sis moved in...she said she was in the hall and heard someone unpacking and going through boxes in the bedroom, thinking it was my sister, she went in and saw the girl there....so she came home...that is why she looked so frazzled.
She said my sister often saw this girl in the house, but most often in the basement. Come to find out, the ghost we were seeing was the best friend of the owners daughter who was missing....they had yet to find her, but they moved because they kept seeing this girl and hoped it was just because she was supposed to go there the night she was abducted...Late in the year, they did find the girls body...she had been hacked to death with a machete over a drug deal....and when they found her, they recovered all body parts but one hand!
My
sister lived there for about 2 years, and became less afraid after they found
the girl...the girl was just 17! To this day, the people who move in and out of
the rental property don't stay because they say it is haunted. This is a true
story and the murder occurred in the 70's in this town...this is all I can say,
because the family is still here of the girl and I would hate to cause them
pain. Thanks.
I wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes in that house! YIKES!! Anyone from the area of Louisville Kentucky who can verify or update us on this story? If so... drop us a line!

when I
was about 5 or 6 I use to live in a apartment with my mom and dad and two
sisters. One night in December after a visit from my uncle, my sisters and I
went to bed. Our room is facing the
long dark hallway that led to my parents bedroom, after closing my eyes I looked
into the dark hallway and saw a figure that looked like a woman. The woman
started toward the foot of my sisters bed. My sister opened her eyes and saw the
woman and screamed for my mother, then the woman disappeared. Soon after our
encounter with this ghost we found out that a woman had been murdered in the
apartment
Short but Spooky! Any updates from Victoria TX??

This
happened to me a long time ago, when I was at my friend Jessica's cottage for
two days. Me, Jessica, and a third girl Emily were sharing a room. While we were
outside on the first day, we all saw an old house that looked as though someone
lived there. We looked around at it. It wasn't a very pleasant house, and it
gave me the chills, but I decided to keep my mouth shut. We went back, went
swimming and had an all around great time.
It was night, and we were staying up late to roast marshmallows and sausages. I
took another look at that house. I still had strong feelings about it, but did
not mention anything. I was one of the last to come back in, and I could not
sleep so me and the girls shared scary stories. I kept glancing at the old
house. something was wrong with it. I couldn't figure out what.
Eventually, Emily fell asleep, then Jessica. I got up to get a drink. I heard
something. I looked around all over, and I checked all the rooms. Everyone was
sound asleep. Although I desperately did not want to look outside, I couldn't
help being curious. I peeked out the window. At first everything was normal.
Then, barely anything was.
I saw that dreadful house. It gave me chills just by looking at it. The lights
inside of it were turned on. I squinted, trying to see what the movement inside
was. There was an old man, who looked perfectly normal. All of a sudden, he was
gone. He walked out from behind the house. But there was only one door to the
house, I thought. And I WAS LOOKING AT IT! He had not come out of it! At first I
thought it was another man, but then I knew it was the same man. I couldn't do
anything but go back to bed, and try to convince myself that it was only my
imagination.
The next day, we got up and basically did outdoor activities. I looked at the
house. Same as yesterday. Except, no old man. I decided to check later on if,
just in case there really was a back door. So, when we were playing
hide-and-go-seek, I crept towards the house. I looked on all the walls.
There was no back door.
The one question I have regarding this encounter is this: Did you check inside the house or peek in the windows to see if it was truly inhabited? There are accounts of homes that appear "normal" with inhabitants at night, but later when a visitor returns, the house is in decrepit shape, falling down & definitely not lived in!

It was
June 3 1999, when I started to find odd things happening around my home. I had
just bought it because some woman who had lived here before had been killed
inside, on that day in 1958 her children had lived in it, they said they had to
leave because it brought back too many memories. The radio that I have would
turn on itself and every time I turned it off it would keep playing the same
songs over and over just the two I am not sure of the names. I thought the
wiring was wrong so I called a friend to look at it and he said it was fine so I
kept hearing the soft tunes when I was in the room. Every time I would leave
they would just keep getting louder and it ended up scaring me to the point
where I had to unplug it when I realized it wasn't even plugged in! A picture on
the wall kept moving and ever since then my cat follows the wall up and down
jumping at it and hissing....!
Short but intriguing. Not a lot of detail in this short story... Jennifer if you are out there, send us more information & maybe a photo of the home!

I was
mountain Biking alone behind UCSC. I was about a mile and a half from the UC
going up the usual fire road. Understand one thing, I'm never more clear in my
head when I'm riding my mountain bike. I must of been on the bike for about
twelve miles already and I was taking my time going up the hill.
When I looked up and the first word I thought was deer , I remember saying half
of the word like Oh! there is a "Dee" and that's all of the word that came out
of my mouth because I realized I was not looking at dear running by me but an
image of a prehistoric wolf.
It was huge, grey whitish figure long snout and serious eyes like it was in
pursuit. It had round hind legs and galloped instead of running, it like
trotted. I will have a picture in my brain of it forever. I did some research
and it resembled a picture I found of a prehistoric wolf.
I have this little like alarm buzzer thing I keep on me when I'm mountain biking
I pulled the string to the alarm cause it freaked me out. I keep the alarm
buzzer in case I fall down a ditch or something. I remember pulling it like
three or four times I was so scared. This thing could of killed me easy and
dragged my body out into the woods and no one would of known. It just vanished
as fast as I saw it. Ran straight across the trail in front of me.
After I got myself together and rode on I remember warning a runner that there
was something like a wolf back there and to be careful.
Anyway, my ride finished with two more sightings of what I would say were normal
encounters, one was face to face with a coyote he was very old and the second
was a hawk with a snake in its talons.
I think we are always trying to normalize things we don't understand. Even now
and months after a part of me absolutely knows what I saw and another part I
think the one that wants to rule out anything that is not tangible says I'm
crazy. I know what I saw and I'm not crazy.
My question is what meaning do I need to take from not one but three signs that
day. Is it that life is exactly supernatural and the rest a facade. I think so.
Maybe that's why I must remember this experience and stop undermining the value
of things we do not understand. The meaning to me is that life isn't what we
think and that there is a lot more going on than we can comprehend and I don't
need a Psychic or someone like that to tell me so.
That's
my story and it happened about mid summer 2003.
Very cool story! There are plenty of unexplained disappearances that happen to lone joggers & bikers! I wonder if you were seeing an actual animal, or perhaps a "wrinkle in time" occurred. If anyone else has been up in that area, and had a paranormal experience contact us!
