5 True Ghost Stories

Guaranteed to make you shiver

5 True Ghost Stories

Whether or not you believe in ghosts is your personal opinion, but with Halloween creeping onto your schedule in the next few weeks, you may want to hear about a couple of real-life ghost stories people lived through that will creep you out so much that you will be sprinkling salt on everything you own.


1. Moon River Brewing Company

Once a hotel and post office in Savannah, Georgia, young children, an old woman, and an undesirable man named James Stark now haunt the building daily. One woman recounts in this video about how she saw a confederate soldier stand in one room and touch her hand, how a glowing orb shot past her face on the same staircase a woman died falling down, and how a different woman in the basement was strangled by either James Stark or a little boy named Toby.

2. Loud Noises and Flipped Crucifixes

If you are frightened by signs of the devil, please be forewarned for this story. One woman retells the time she was having a casual night in with her boyfriend at the time, and all of a sudden there was a loud crash out side the back of the house. After the two went out to investigate it, she realized a cross she had on her wall of collected crosses was flipped upside down. At first, she believed that one of her friends had been playing a joke on her, but when a second loud noise banged outside, she began to question her thoughts. When she returned inside the second time, the entire wall had the crosses flipped upside down from their original positions. She and her boyfriend went to a hotel for the next few days and sent a friend in to remove every crucifix from her walls. Watch the full story here.

3. Walt Disney World

One woman recounted two times she was scared or perplexed in Disney World. One time, she admits could have been a hallucination from a fever she was suffering from, but in the All Star Music hotel, she heard a woman singing into her ear and a shadowy figure standing in the corner watching over her. Another time, while not particularly paranormal, she was on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and was joking with her friends about how un-lifelike one of the animatronics of Captain Jack was. As the boat pulled away the Jack turned to stare at the park goers, until a sound over the speaker system announced that the ride had met some technical difficulties. All of a sudden the Jack they once thought was a dingy animatronic, took off in the opposite direction sprinting away.

4. Ouija Board

I will personally say that whether or not you believe in spirits or other worldly formations, you should never ever mess with a ouija board. Two internet-famous celebrities, Shane and Colleen, did not listen to that warning. One board session led to learning about a ghost in Colleen's home named Stacy. They described a force pulling the oculus to one region of the board, while one of them tried to push it to the other because she did not want the answer to be yes for spirits inhabiting her home. Shane, had a feeling the name was Stacy of the spirit as they walked into the room they would film in, and he almost had a panic attack when he learned his intuition to be correct. This ouija session is now closed. Goodbye spirits.

5. My Own House

Yep. I believe in ghosts, and yes I am suspicious of one in my house. Now ghost was not the first thing I thought for any of these spooky situations. I live in a relatively old house that about four different families have lived in since it was built. The first occurrence I was home alone and all of a sudden I heard a loud bang from my basement. I went to investigate the slam of a door and realized it had been shut tight. I told myself it was the wind, reopened the door, and did not realize that the wind was blowing into the house from a different direction the second time the door slammed that day. The next occurrence frequently occurs in my bedroom. I have a piece of artwork that comes in a set of 3 that hangs on my wall. I keep telling myself its the wind that shakes my old house so that is why the wall makes clicking noises by my artwork, but this logically makes no sense. It is one of three hanging on the same wall, and other items on a dresser touch the wall. My Grandma even believes there may be a spirit of sorts in my house, for when she stayed for about two weeks in the same room the one door slammed in my basement area, she claimed cabinets made strange noises, pipes shook, and there were unexplained footsteps from above her late at night when she knows everyone else was in bed.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
