When my mom first moved into our last house she said that she’d see a little boy. The boy would always say the same thing. “Mommy, help me.” She told me that every time she’d see the boy the next day someone would be ill, something would go wrong, ect
Opened in 1881 by William “Billy” Hutchinson, the Bird Cage served as a combination theater, saloon, brothel and gambling house until about 1889. Operating in those years 24 hours a day on every day of the year, it earned its sordid reputation; the venerableNew York Times described it as “the wildest, wickedest night spot between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast.” As many as 26 murders were committed on the premesis. Today it is a tourist attraction and museum.
Is that you Sister?
When I was younger i shared a room with my sister.
Sometimes I would hear knocks on the walls and whispers, and occasionally someone would grab my foot lightly, and I would always ask my sister is it was her, and she’d say yes, but I brought it up after we got a new room, and she confessed that it was never her, and she didn’t know what any of that was all about, but she would always lie so I wouldn’t get scared, and would just silently lay across from me in terror.

Edinburgh Castle is reputed to be one of the most haunted spots in Scotland. And Edinburgh itself has been called the most haunted city in all of Europe. On various occasions, visitors to the castle have reported a phantom piper, a headless drummer, the spirits of French prisoners from the Seven Years War and colonial prisoners from the American Revolutionary War - even the ghost of a dog wandering in the grounds’ dog cemetery.
The castle (you can get a tour here) standing magnificently between sea and hills, is a historical fortress, parts of which are more than 900 years old. The cells of its ancient dungeon, the site of uncounted deaths, could very well be an eternal place of unrest for numerous spirits. Other areas of Edinburgh also have ghostly reputations: the subterranean vaults of South Bridge and a disused street called Mary Kings Close where victims of the Black Death plague were sealed up to die.
I promise you this is a true story that I’ll never forget, it’s probably not gonna be very creepy to you readers but if you experienced it you’d probably understand.
I go to university in Connecticut. I live in the second newest building on campus, but the property is very old and has a dark history. Buildings on campus served as orphanages and hospitals. Some places have even been the site of satanic ritual.
This is just a little local legend from where I live in Dublin. It’s not particularly scary but I think it is really sad.
During the time when the Irish and the English were fighting there was a soldier called Rory O’Connor. He was killed during the course of battle without ever getting to say goodbye to his wife and child. They say that on really rainy, somber nights his ghost returns and plays the violin to lament the loss of his wife and child.

This is a true story, it happened to me two weeks ago.
Where I used to live, our house had a winding staircase; you’d often hear shuffling on the carpeted stairs and the creak of floorboards on the landing. That can be due to pipes but our family knew different. I would often hear someone shout ‘David’ out in the house. It was an old woman’s voice, uptight, and annoyed. The previous owners still lingered. There was a particular wooden beam in the middle of the house that emitted a smell like burnt toast.
When I was little I would share a room with my brother, and because he was afraid of the dark, the landing light would be on and the door would be wide open. One night I woke up and in the doorway must have been the woman, as I saw a shadow projected onto the wall opposite. She was short with a very large nose and a high-bun. When describing her to my parents and my brother, they had all seen her.
Another memory I have of the house was one day when my dad went up into the attic to get down our suitcases. He pulled out a stack of the Shropshire Star newspaper. Nobody ever went up there, and I swear on his grave that the date on the top newspaper was from the same week. The only person he knew that would have read that paper was his late sister. Unless we had someone living in our attic.

The Man With The Gun
This is one of the few experiences I had in my old house.
I was young, probably around 11-13 and I had just got home from dinner or something with my mum and sisters. After we pulled into the garage I raced ahead to the back door and decided to pull a dumb prank on my dad (looking back, I realize how dumb it was).
