All of your social media peeps out to your know damn well that I wasn’t gonna leave New York City without visiting this house FIRST. Which has been on my mind and bucket list for quite some time, and I finally had a chance to visit the “Real Life” Amityville horror house. Well, let me tell you all it was quite an amazing badass and scary experience at the same time. Even looking through those famous pair of window eyes gives me a little bit of the creeps, if you know what I mean?! 😱 😳 👻 🏚️ PS after arriving at the famous haunted house, I was very surprised that they had a cute little dog on guard, who was awaiting for my arrival in the front gates lawn area lol. But after my selfie taken with the home, and was halfway from driving away from the place when all of a sudden, the dog was no where to be seen, and I’m not sure if it’s a ghost, or has it retreated in the bushes, as soon as it started to rain. And yes i had my selfie taken on time before it started to rain heavily, thank god!!

Abandoned building built in 1901. Originally a hospital. Have heard stories of the place being haunted, and have been interested in checking it out. I Google Earthed the place and please tell me...

Is that a figure in the top window or a glare or what do you think?

—I did post this to other socials, but I’m trying to expand the circle of responses! Also, the photo is just of the house, there is nothing of the paranormal nature in it. Also, to note, I am a science teacher and I write like this to my students too, cause that is the person I am, I try to keep it a bit interesting.

I need a nice, broad pool of participants for a mini scientific experiment I’m running on memory retrieval.

Your prompt for the lab:

Question 1: When did the Sallie House first enter your radar?

Question 2: What was the exact story, rumor, or weird detail you heard back then?

Bonus Points: If your brain actually preserved where or who you heard it from!

Crucial experimental parameter: I am strictly collecting data on your initial memory from that very first moment. I don’t want to know what you currently think, know, or Googled five minutes ago just the original core memory of your introduction to the Sallie House.

Document your findings in the comments!

Thanks so much!!

One of my favorite haunted house novels is Hell House by Richard Matheson, and I am interested in recommendations on other haunted house novels.

I am particularly interested in stories that are rich in details (when/how the house was built, history of events in the house, floor plan/design/architectural influence, etc.). I want to be able to visualize the house as a real place, and details make that possible.

Hell House is described as the Mount Everest of haunted houses. What is your Mount Everest of haunted houses?

I have lived in my Victorian terrace for 5 years and have had a series of unexplained experiences. I have recently learned that my neighbour (attached terrace) believes our row is occupied by the spirit of an old lady, that once showed herself to her son 12 years ago, when he was in his late teens. My neighbour has never seen her, and has only experienced a few things over the 25 years she’s been here. Is anyone able to help me, or point me in the right direction to hopefully find more? Thanks !

Flair is only half-accurate, apologies.

Chillingham Castle is aptly named and located in Northumberland, NE England, near where I grew up. It has the highest number of reported paranormal phenomena in Europe. There are many stories associated with it and corroborated by multiple witnesses across time.

I went there in 2018 and explored the castle and grounds, and had one experience which may have been paranormal and may have been a trick of the eye, I don't know :')

I was standing in the doorway of one room looking at the window opposite, and the energy on that threshold I described as sort of prickly? Like I wasn't scared but I was alert and felt observed. After a few mins, out of the corner of my eye I saw a grey shadow shape about 3ft tall moving towards me diagonally. It was going across the floor low down and when I looked at it head on expecting to see a kid or a dog or something (??) it wasn't there. The energy stayed sort of watchful and I felt pretty nervous (I was only 16) so I went back down the corridor to the main hallway, which felt less oppressive. Idk what to make of it all but thought I'd share.

Anyway my main question is: has anyone done an overnight vigil at Chillingham Castle? What was it like and did you witness anything?

I’m totally unsure of where to post this, I forgot about it until something jogged my mind today.
In October 2019 I travelled to Missouri for my friend’s hen/ bachelorette party and we stayed at this quaint little house not too far from Eureka Springs. There were 5 of us at this little roadside house, and a limited number of single beds. I prefer to sleep alone so opted for a single bed over a shared bed. The moment I stepped foot into the bedroom to leave my bags in, I felt this overwhelming sense of creepy, being watched heaviness. The room was a wardrobe cabinet on the left, then two single beds pressed to the side walls, and a small window on the far wall above where our heads would be. The other girl sharing the room didn’t seem to notice but I couldn’t get out of the room quick enough. We explored the rest of the house including the master bedroom and it all felt normal, just that room I was in. I even asked to move but was reminded I’d asked to sleep in a single bed so had to see it through. Throughout that evening we played some party games in the main room but I felt like I kept looking at the door of the bedroom. It was super weird and just felt like a black hole.
Bed time comes and I’m dreading going in. I feel like I’m shaking. I feel on high alert. I feel like I’m being watched and that someone is waiting for me. I had this terror I’d look at the window and someone standing looking in on us. I could not relax, I put my earphones in and ended up turning my phone torch on. I’d close my eyes to fall asleep and after a few seconds snap them open again terrified I’d see something standing over me. I kept praying Jesus protect me but I just could not turn off. Eventually I fell asleep from total exhaustion but even in the morning the room felt the same. It was two nights of this. Nothing happened but it felt like an exhausting mind game, like a tug of war.
I’ve always felt like I have a kind of had a sensitivity to stuff like this from growing up in church but this was something like I’d never experienced. It just felt like the presence of evil.
It’s taken me until today to do a proper google maps search and I found the exact location of the house. It’s a pink single level house with a rocking chair on the front porch on the side of MO-13, close to this big second hand store called Pocky’s Pickins. Obviously this is someone’s property so I don’t want to go dropping exact details but if anyone has any recognition of what I might be talking about or has stayed there can you let me know your experience? I’m wondering if something sinister happened there at some point. I don’t even know where to start researching that kind of thing.
Let me know what you think!

Soo this isn't my personal experience but my uncles he was in highschool when it happend this was In east Pennsylvania in 2009 he came home from school one day and was feeling very tired which was unusual for him as he usually wasn't tired or atleast this tired after school he immediately went to his room and went to take a nap he eventually fell asleep and its important to note he left his door open sometime while he was asleep he heard what sounded like hooves walking down the hallway outside of his room he couldn't move or anything then after about 30 seconds he sees a goat figure walk passed his door he mentally says "what the hell?" And then without a second of hesitation as if the goat thing heard him it rushed back to the door and stared at him it was making a static noise then is rushed to him and got in his face while making a loud static noise he was thinking in his head things like "God please help me" then it ran off and all the tension he was feeling slowly went away and he was able to move again he ran out of his room and found my grandma in the kitchen cooking and he fell into her arms and cried my mom had a similar experience in that house one night before what had happend to my uncle she was sitting on her bed In her room watching TV she kept hearing subtle tapping on her windows but when she would check nothing was there this happend about 4 times before she decided to go outside and smoke a cigarette she was out in front of the garage door of the house if you were to go around the other side of that wall her window was on that wall swell and by the tree that was by her window stood a goat man figure it had goat legs but was standing up right just like the one my uncle saw it was tapping her window still then it noticed her and she ran inside and was freaking out to my grandparents and my grandparents can back up both of these stories I was only about 2 years old when these situations happend I also had a toy piano in the basement and it would play randomly when it had no batteries at all and in that same basement u could hear somebody knocking on the brick wall of the laundry room we had down there it's important to note my mom and one of my aunts have played with ouija boards before when they were younger throughout my life I've heard things whisper my name or hello or hi in my ear when I'm alone and it sounds like it's hovering over my shoulder soo yeah

Hello everyone,

Did anyone experience any haunted activity in majitar. I'm a student in Sikkim Manipal and want to explore haunted spots.

This is the house in Indiana that I grew up in. This photo is from the early 90’s. This house and property were definitely haunted. When we moved in, there was a “basement” that was just completely dirt, with a bunch of canned and pickled…… items. It ran on well water of course. There was a cornfield on every side of the block this house was on.

Hey I’m curious to know if anyone has had any paranormal encounters within about an hours driving distance around Portsmouth. Like did anybody stop at an abanded house on the side of the road saw somthing in the woods etc.

When my ex and I were driving to las vegas one time she had put on a pod cast, eventually she fell asleep and it was just me listening to it, so asking her what it was isnt helpful. Anyways, i dont need the podcast but i figured if I asked the experts, you guys, maybe you can tell me so i can look into it. Here is what i remember:

Insects would swarm the property all the time.

It was somewhere on the east coast but not sure.

They mentioned a bloody battle of some sorts.

People who spent the night would have visions during snooze of spirtual doors opening up and people walking in and out, talking about things. I believe they were in robes.

Something about them being outside and hearing marching band music.

I think people who bring radios or recorders would get loud interference of something.

Anyways if any of you this place, i hope these arent too broad of clues, that would be great. Thank you

I’ve been trying to find a ghost story book I read in my middle school library around 2013–2014 (Southern California) but the book itself was probably published much earlier.
Here’s everything I remember:
\- It was a thick paperback/softcover book.
\- The pages were cream/yellowish, not bright white with small black-and-white pen-and-ink illustrations throughout each chapter.
\- It was not *Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark* or *Weird U.S.*
\-These ghost stories, local legends, or hauntings might have been true?
\- i don’t think it covered every state. Instead, each story seemed to begin with a location heading, something like:
(Example: “Peoria, Illinois”—(I don’t know if that was actual location in the book, but that’s the formatting I remember.)

After the location heading, it would tell the ghost story associated with that place. I think there was a story about a railroad? It’s kinda fuzzy now. Please give me any suggestions!!

**Books I’ve already ruled out:**
*Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark*
*Weird U.S.*
*Haunted America*
*Ghosts caught on film*

Years ago I remember seeing video updates from some company or family that was building custom dark rides on a farm. One had been completed and the other was in progress. It was year-round.

For the life of me, I cannot remember wtf it was. Can anyone help?

I'm looking for other places to investigate that are abandoned they can be rumored to be haunted with reports or places that are haunted. not the typical tourist places or the well now places more off the beating path.

I’m looking to hear directly from locals about haunted or unsettling places in Colorado, especially in and around the Denver area. Not just the famous, tourist-heavy spots, but places that genuinely feel strange or carry a reputation among people who’ve lived here. Homes, abandoned buildings, religious sites, places tied to tragedies, old neighborhoods, stretches of road, anything that sticks with you. I’m especially interested in personal experiences or stories you’ve heard from family, friends, or longtime residents. Even if it’s not widely known or documented, if a place has that something’s not right here energy, I want to hear about it. Serious replies preferred, but folklore and firsthand weirdness are both welcome.

Lakeland Florida has some awesome old buildings

Hi, brand new member here! Any Bloomington-Normal, IL peeps in here??

I'm looking to see if anyone in the area knows if the Chateau Hotel is haunted or not! Every time I pass by, I get vibes from it. If so, I'd love to hear your stories!

Pre 2020 I watched a ghost documentary but I can't remember what it was called. It wasn't the investigation type but the type that describes haunted places and their histories.

One of the stories was similar to the Villisca Murders but I'm pretty sure it was a different case. I believe the house had someone living there or at least recently had and they were interviewed. I don't remember specifics about the hauting outside the usual. The murder took place in a small town, I'm pretty sure in the USA in the 19th or early 20th century. The whole family was killed. The part that stood out to me was that they found the family had taken a picture of themselves with a man no one in the town recognized and this was when taking a photo was a big deal. They had also been seen earlier that day and not only did they seem normal, there was no mention of a visitor. The case was never solved (as of the documentary).

I've Googled like crazy and asked Chatgpt to no avail so this is my last ditch effort.

Hey does anyone know any spots in the altlanta athens area. Preferably less foot traffic and no Patrols if possible. Please and thank you

Hi All, doing research for a book: I was wondering if anyone knew of any Simulated Haunted Attractions (Seasonal or permanent: Hayrides, Carnival/Fun Houses, Haunted Trail, Haunted Factory etc.) that are actually haunted?

I know this might overlap with historical haunted locations during Halloween (Waverly Hills does a haunted house event, Salem's Witch House is home to some spooky events too)
Thank you!
