12 | Haunted Hospital | I've worked more than a couple of decades in Healthcare. A couple of places were old when I worked there- a lot of history and a lot of deaths/depressing incidents occurred in those walls.
I'll focus in this email on the small rural hospital. I was 18 at the time working mostly day shift, but would occasionally come i... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/haunted-hospital- |
13 | Let Me In, Booger | Several years ago I was puppysitting for my wife's parents at their house while they were out of town. It was around 8pm in the early fall.

15 | The Haunting of Sara | When I was in my 20s, I briefly dated a girl named Sarah. My friends jokingly told me she was out of my league, and in a lot of ways they were right. Sarah was beautiful. I’m not. She had supermodel looks. The kind of girl you always expected to have a boyfriend or girlfriend. When I gathered the nerve to ask her out a... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/the-haunting-of-sara |
16 | Ouija Board Smoke | I am writing this after hearing the Ouija board episode to share my own experience. It was back when I was in high school, around 2005-2006, and me and my neighborhood buddies got ahold of a Ouija board (I'm aware now that they are sold commonly, but back then it was kind of big to us). We used it a few times in my bed... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/ouija-board-smoke |
17 | Betsy the Seldom-Seen Ghost | When I was 16, I stayed a week with my aunt and uncle, Doreen and Ted. It was a cool old place in the country with three stories and an apple orchard.

18 | Squatters Pub Ghostly Encounter | There’s a brew pub called Squatters in downtown Salt Lake City. It's situated in a historic building that’s about as old as the city itself. They’ve got great food there. Better beer. And apparently, ghosts.

19 | My Sister's Slumber Party | This happened about eight years ago, when I was 16.

After making ghost sounds around the corn... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/my-sister's-slumber-party |
20 | Saying Goodbye in Spirit | To give some background, this Saturday was the quince, which is essentially a party where a court dances for the birthday girl and is quite popular in Hispanic culture.

21 | The Orange Eyed Ghost | This story took place when I was around five or six years old. When I went to sleep, I thought it would be normal. I never knew of the paranormal at all.

22 | Haunted Slumber Party | It was September 1997, and I was invited to my good friend’s house for a birthday slumber party. It was a typical party: presents, cake ’til we almost puked, and singing karaoke with each girl thinking they could sing Jewel’s “Foolish Games” better than the others.
Then, when it started to get dark, someone said, “Oka... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/haunted-slumber-party |
23 | My Grandfather Still Visits | The house that my paternal grandparents owned (still in the family, my uncle owns it now) had its little quirks, but you could always tell which relative was walking down the hallway or the basement stairs by how their footsteps shifted, and how loudly or quietly they breathed from the exertion. Think old small town fa... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/my-grandfather-still-visits |
24 | Blue Line at the Wedding | In the late 1990s, I attended my niece's wedding in another town. It was held in an old church.

Once the photos were... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/blue-line-at-the-wedding |
25 | Do Cryptids Throw Stones | While camping in the Uinta Mountains on the border of Utah and Wyoming, a friend claimed to have seen a Bigfoot.

26 | Voices From Above | After sharing my experiences in my childhood home, I felt I needed to tell you about another part of the farm that was quite unnerving, and a story that still scares me.
The barn in question is an old, red, gambrel style that was kitty-corner from the old house. It has a smaller addition to the east side where we milk... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/voices-from-above |
27 | Footsteps (7) | My first house was a little yellow 1950s bungalow in Layton, Utah, with original hardwood in the dining room that squeaked and creaked in places when you walked across it. We owned it from 2009-2017.
Somewhere around 2013, my husband was working graves in Magna, UT. I was home all night with two small children and a c... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/footsteps-(7) |
28 | This is My House | Back in 2009, my son was not quite two years old. I was newly married and living in my in-laws' basement while we searched for a home. My son slept in the room just down the hall, about fifteen feet away from our door.
One night around 12am, we were relaxing in bed and about to turn in when my son burst into the room,... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/this-is-my-house |
29 | Get Out | This is all true. I did a lot of things in graduate school I'm not sure were right. Was my major correct? Did I do this or that research paper well? How could I have networked better? But, choosing where I lived was the best decision I could have made. I ended up in a small, leaky, roach filled apartment near the busie... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/get-out |
30 | I Was Ten | My parents moved us into a house whose previous owner had used a gun to take his own life. It happened in the living room of that house. I know my parents knew about it, because we lived in a small town. Everyone knew about it. I think I actually even remember driving by with my parents the night it happened. All the f... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/i-was-ten- |
31 | Who Are You Playing With?!! | In 1952, my mother, grandmother, and I were living with a friend in her big house near Seattle.

The ball b... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/who-are-you-playing-with%3F!! |
32 | The Farmhouse from Hell | I grew up on my grandparents’ farm in the thumb of Michigan in a house that dated back to the 1800s. It was an unnerving place with two floors and a Michigan basement layered with gray asbestos siding. Growing up, I heard a story about its past and learned firsthand that it was anything but a lie.
My mother, father, a... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/the-farmhouse-from-hell |
33 | Screams in the Night (2) | This story I'm about to tell is just one of many I have to tell, but the most remembered one. I was possibly around the age of 9 or 10 when this first happened. Scared the crap out of me at the time.
The house I lived in was probably close to 100yrs old at the time, and sitting on a small bit of land that was original... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/screams-in-the-night-(2) |
34 | Big Red | It was the height of the paranormal reality television craze when I serendipitously ran into a couple of paranormal investigators at a local bar on karaoke night. Perhaps, it was the sound of my banshee-like singing that drew them in. Nonetheless, we hit it off, and they invited me to check out the team’s website and s... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/big-red |
35 | Eve of the Battle of Culloden | Two hundred and seventy years ago, the last battle to be fought on British soil took place far in the north, on a remote moor near the highland town of Inverness.

36 | Ghosts of Okinawa | The following are just some of my experiences while I was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, from 2011 to 2015. While it is a beautiful island, anyone who has been there can tell you that the spiritual activity is rampant. This is, no doubt, a direct result of it being the site of the final major battle of World War II. Coun... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/ghosts-of-okinawa |
37 | The Back Door | Back in 1974, when I was only eight years old, we moved into a beautiful older home. Everything seemed to be going well. Until my mom bought a Ouija board. We all played with it, laughed at it, thought it was great fun! Until things started to take a dreary turn. One night while I lay in bed, I felt something tug at th... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/the-back-door |
38 | The Angry Cowboy | In 1988, my now ex-husband Steve and I bought a brand-new condo in what had been Rancho Mission Viejo, a large cattle ranch. At first, things were fine and normal. In 1990, I became pregnant with our first child, and that’s when things were no longer normal!

39 | The Watcher | When I was a child, we moved into an old house in St. Paul, Minnesota. It had a skeleton key for all the doors in the house, which I thought was cool, and an old clawfoot tub in the bathroom.

40 | Wendigo in the Quantico Highlands? | While undergoing military training in Quantico, Virginia, in 2011, I was sleeping in the field with the rest of my platoon.

50 | You're Never Alone | Ever since I was little, I could feel something strange in my house. Sometimes, it would just be random noises in the night, other times voices at the bottom of the stairs. I never really thought much of it, until I got older. Around the age of 9 or 10, I was in the washroom. I had just washed my hands, and went to loo... | https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/you're-never-alone |
