I was riding my bike past a house called Spell Mansion with my
friend Dusty. We looked up at the mansion and and saw that all the curtains
were closed, and then stopped to talk for a minute. When we finished
talking, we looked up and saw that one of the curtains was now open. Spell
Mansion was uninhabited at the time. Me and my friend rode away as fast as
we could.

Spell Mansion has a story behind it about how it is haunted. About ten
years ago, this old woman lived there. Some kids broke into her house and
pushed her down the stairs of her house, just playing around, but it
killed her. People say that the old woman still haunts the house. Many
people have moved into to the house, just to move out a day or two later.

Don't ya just hate that creepy feeling when you "know" someone is watching you from an "abandoned" house? YIKES!!! Anyone else out there have an encounter at Spell Mansion? If so... you know what to do.... Tell Marilyn!!

I was in my bedroom when I woke up from a dream, I was covered
with my blankets and I heard footsteps. I raised my head to see what was making the noise (that was a
terrible mistake) I saw an apparition of myself  looking at me with anger. He
came near me and I couldn't move, someway it was draining my energy!!!! I was
hopeless and I thought I was going to die!!!! He then went away and I got up from the
bed. 

I took my keys I drove to my sisters house I told her what had happened, but
she didn't believe me!!! I thought that night that I saw the grim
reaper!!!

Thanks for your story Tom! This is our very first story from the country of Greece! Sounds almost like maybe a Doppleganger type of experience. We've had a few stories of people also being visited by their future selves... weird hu?

My sister passed away a few years ago and do to a run of bad luck I
moved in with my mom.

My mother told me that my sister (Joan) called
for her. At first I thought she was crazy until it began... For approximately a
week I would her someone calling from the doorway,  "mom mom mom" then she would
say "mother!"  I didn't say anything just incase I was crazy. 

Then one evening my daughter and I were watching TV around 9 or so we both looked outside
thinking someone was coming to the door. We both turned and looked at each
other because we didn't see anyone! I was freaked out and my daughter turns to me and says.
"See there is a ghost!"  My mother was sleeping, so I called my niece and  I was crying.
It scared the hell out me!!! 

I told my niece that for the past week I will hear my sister calling my mom. I would even get out of bed and no one
is there.  So of course my mom asked if we now believed her, and the answer is YES!!

Janitor on the Job....

When I was in elementary school in the Philippines, I studied in
San Beda College in Manila and everyday, after school ended me and my
friends always hangout in room 124. Everyday we went there to
do our homework, eat and chill. Everyday a man named Mang Dado, the janitor, would come
inside to sweep the floor, turn off the air-conditioner and put the chairs on
top of the desks. 

One day about twenty minutes after Mang finished up another janitor, Chester,
came in swept the floor and left. This happened for three days, every time Mang
Dado cleaned the room, Chester would clean it again and on the third day Chester
told us "thanks you for turning off the air-conditioning". My friend Angela
told him that "Mang Dado was the one turning off the air conditioner, didn't you see him?
He just finish cleaning in here." 

Surprisingly Chester told us "Dado died last
Monday, what are you talking about?" 
We were scared almost to death! We left that room and never went back!

I normally don't believe in ghost, at first I thought that it was
only my imagination but more than a dozen of us saw him, it can't be just
me.  Later some other kids passed room 124 and said that someone is inside
the room after school. 

That experience did change my thinking and make me
believe on ghosts.

Sounds like Mr. Dado really really really liked his job! That is kind of cool though isn't it? I wonder if he gets paid overtime???

OK so my friends and I decided to go ghost hunting for a day, we went inside this abandoned house in a town called Beaumont, California. As we entered the house we started taking pictures so that the flash could help us light the dark rooms. We didn't see anything while we were there, however when I got home I uploaded my photos to my computer and I was zooming in some of them, and I think I discovered something. On this picture you can see one of my friends and to his right, there are two window frames, on one of them if you zoom it in, you can see a weird figure, like a ghost?

Alright Victor!! Thanks for sending in a photo... Now I give the floor to our readers... What say you? What do you see? Tell Marilyn...
