The scariest first-hand paranormal accounts
The Spooky Tales of A Reluctant Ghost Hunter
For the brave at heart, a thrilling pastime is ghost hunting. Day and night, people embark on journeys to uncover paranormal evidence of invisible entities that inhabit our physical world. While some people pursue this activity as a source of entertainment, for me, I’ve been continuously haunted by chilling encounters that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy.
The Demonic Dog
Our first investigation was at an old farmhouse in the middle of North Carolina. We arrived to the destination late at night – a challenge in itself – and proceeded to the main living room. As soon as we had stepped in, I heard a loud growling noise and saw a pair of yellow eyes glaring at me from the corner. We instantly got a negative vibe as the presence seemed menacing and angry. We tried to flicker our flashlights back and forth but could not spot whatever was in the corner. We eventually scrambled out of the room and ran back to our car.
The Telephone Call
Our second incident took place a few months later. We were exploring what appeared to be an abandoned house in the center of town and suddenly heard a loud ringing noise coming from the hallway. We immediately froze in our steps when we saw the old, vintage telephone on the floor and the numbers ‘666’ glimmering on its surface. We understood that this was a sign of danger and got out of the building as fast as our feet let us.
The Midnight Visitor
Our third occurrence was the scariest encounter of them all. I already had a difficult time sleeping before we decided to pursue ghost hunting, but after this experience, I haven’t been able to even look at the dark without getting the creeps. We were settling into the basement, not expecting to find much else and got in a circle to see if we could summon an entity when suddenly I noticed that my fellow ghost hunters back away from me and stared at me in fear. My stomach dropped when I saw the tall, hooded figure standing next to me. I looked away for a second, and when I looked back, the figure had vanished without a trace.
Never Again
These experiences made me more alert and aware that the paranormal entity is very real. I haven’t quite recovered from the shock of that day and still feel a sense of dread anytime I indulge in ghost stories. Although ghost hunting was an unforgettable experience, I don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon.
