Thanks for stopping by, Jim! It was actually a Helium-suggested title. Nobody haunts my house other than a few lazy cats and a hopelessly psychotic Lab retriever.

  • Being a fan of Sam Raimi from the first time I watched Evil Dead I was very excited to find out that he was finally making another horror film. I imagine most of today’s generation know Raimi for his Spiderman films and little else. Of course he started in horror and became a very well known director for his wicked sense of humor and visual style. When Drag Me to Hell hit theatres I quickly

True Ghost Tales

  • I’m single professional lady in my mid-30’s, born and live in South East Asia (so, pardon my English). I have been haunted by the same experience since I was 14 years old.

    It started without any warning during my afternoon nap. I studied in boarding school and share the room with few girls. I had just put my head on the pillow, was very tired after school’s activity and I was not in deep sleep yet. I could still hear the other girls’ activity around me when the buzzing noise started, and it got louder, and then I felt I could not move my body or even shouted for help. I didn’t know what it was, I thought I was going to die, so, I recite some Quranic verses (I am a Muslim), and slowly, I was free from it.

    From then onwards, it happened on daily basis, few times a day. I was afraid to go sleeping. I was deprived of…

  • I did not believe in ghosts when I moved my family into the brown rented house in Ironton, Ohio in 1975, but I would come to believe!

    On the very first day and night there, I felt something strange lurking in the house, especially near and in the linen closet.  I felt cold, and the hair on the back of my neck stood up.  I also, felt a chill when I walked up and down the stairs, or when I was near the record player.

    At first I shrugged it off as being just a draft from the door or window, but when it became too strong to deny, even though I still had my doubts, I decided to believe that there really was something there, and “talk” to whatever it was. I made a pact with the “ghost” and told it that I would keep the linen door open at night and play the record player often only if it would…

  • I levitated then a week later my 17 year old brother Sean died in a car accident in Woodstock Illinois.

    On August 1983 my 17 year old brother Sean Thompson was brutally assaulted by a J. Greenham who was 19 from Woodstock Illinois. He was mad at my brother over a pretty girl named Connie. My brother was found lying at the LakeWood Apartments in Woodstock Illinois on the ground unconscious. A woman found him and called an ambulance. My brother was taken to Woodstock Hospital with head trauma. I went to see my brother in intensive care, his head was the size of a large watermelon. He was embarrassed. His eyes were bloody red. It was a horrible attack. My brother’s face was all beaten in. My brother was in intensive care for over a month.

    Sean was released two months after being in the hospital. Before leaving Woodstock Hospital, I asked the neurologist, would my brother have any problems. The…
