A friend of mine is going to be part of a horror anthology that I thought might be of interest to people here. It's all about cryptids! It's called 'The Monsters We Forgot', and it will feature more than 100 stories from new and established authors across the globe. To get it off the ground...

Hah, yeah, I've got a friend who has a basement - or rather a cellar. They've got their washing machine and tumble dryer down there, and I think a chest freezer. Much smaller than the ones you tend to see on US TV, but equally spooky!

I've always liked this idea. Even though he only did it as fiction, Terry Pratchett used this theory in his Discworld series, where characters experience the heaven (or hell) that they invented for themselves. In fact, everything is powered by belief, so gods get more or less powerful based on...

"Mom, I can't talk now, I'm working"

This is a fascinating read. I've always been confused about the Christian approach to ghosts, because the literature and teachings seems (from the perspective of someone like me who's not massively religious) to rule out their existence. Yet at the same time, I know a lot of Christians who...

Haha, nice one! :) Yeah, it's not a paper I'm fond of. With it's name, you'd think its journalists would be a bit brighter than they are ;)

Just popping in to point out for my American friends that The Sun is thought of as pretty unreliable in the UK, and inclined towards very sensationalist stories without much fact checking! I'm not weighing in on the UFO issue - I joined this site regarding ghosts, I'm not really qualified to...

Sorry for the period of silence (hectic couple weeks on my end!) but I really appreciate all the new replies and explanations! I have read all of it and it's fascinating, especially the descriptions of different theories. A few further questions based on what has been stated: Wait, does that...

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all of the replies! I'll try to respond to as many as I can, but I'm sure I'll miss out a few of them. Interesting! I evidently didn't pay enough attention while I was in science class! So theoretically they could just be trapped energy, not able to be...

As some of you might recall from my introduction post the other week, I'm convinced that I've encountered some kind of supernatural experience in my life, and more than once. I'm becoming more and more convinced by the existence of spirits. But I'm not naturally a "believer", and I have quite a...

Ah, interesting! I'll be honest, I always thought ghost trains were just from horror stories and fairground rides. How do they work? What do people experience them as?

Thanks for the welcome 7Christie, and Debi, that Candlelight House is just too spooky! I definitely wouldn't be able to stick around there for long! How far is it from you? Does it seem to affect any of the areas around it, or is it specifically that house that appears to be being haunted? I...

This one is a local legend in my village, and one that a lot of people believe in. I thought I'd share it for you all, and see if anyone else has any similar local spooks. So, my village is haunted by the so-called midnight cyclist. I say "is haunted" as if it's definitely true, and actually...

Hm, do you live nearby other people? If so, do they have similar beliefs/public expression as you? I'm not from the US so I have no idea really about how the FBI work, but it seems that dropping chemicals from the sky would also hit everyone else nearby? Is there anything about your area that...

Oh yes, I'd heard that WiFi can have really harmful effects - like plants don't grow as well near signal sources. It's quite disturbing thinking what we might all be living with. And it's a bit of a tangent, but if it can affect our minds, it makes me wonder if it affects our experience of the...

Thank you, Debi, that's really nice of you! I'll be honest, I've never come across any supernatural stories from South Africa! I think that will be one of the most interesting things about being here, sharing stories from across the world! There's a lot of interest in the paranormal and...

Wow, WhiskeyRoger, that is amazing! I agree with the others, very well written, and I'm pleased to hear it doesn't seem malicious. I sometimes wonder if spirits are a little like wild animals - only aggressive if they feel threatened or cornered. I'm still new to the whole paranormal thing, but...

Oh, poor birds! I'm not sure I buy the concept of chemtrails, but maybe it could be more general pollution? This is one of those bizarre instances where I kind of hope it is something like that, because if it's not from any natural or human cause, the implications are just too spooky!

Hello everyone! I'm WatcherOfTheNight - you can just call me Watcher - and I thought I'd try joining here because I've been increasingly interested in the paranormal after a few experiences I've had over the past months. Nothing life changing, I couldn't make a movie out of it (not a very good...
