Eel Brook Ghosts: The Shaking Bed

Eel Brook ghosts haunted paranormal Nova Scotia Yarmouth

Location: Eel Brook, Nova Scotia, Canada

Ghost report from Midge on April 30, 2015:

“My husband, I and my children were renting a home in this small community in Eel Brook, Yarmouth county, Nova Scotia. Strange things started happening almost right away. My husband was away a lot, so I was alone with four small children.

There was a hole in the wall in the bedroom I slept in. And I would buy stuff and plug it, but always it would reappear with dust from the compound on the bed. My bed would shake pretty strongly in the middle of the night. Sometimes the middle blanket on my bed would be under the bed. Lights would come on and doors would open.

Later on I found out that a woman had committed suicide in the room I slept in.”

Grand Prairie Ghosts: White Mass of Fog

Grand Prairie ghosts haunted paranormal Alberta Canada

Location: Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada

Ghost report from Ashley on April 12, 2014:

“I have always been a little different, although I can’t explain in words how. I have had numerous incidents with strange things happening to me or things I’ve seen.

I lived in an older house in Hythe, Alberta. One night I woke up to my grandmother calling my name. I answered her not thinking clearly. I sat up and my curtains were flowing, no vent near the window, and window was not open. This freaked me out, because my grandmother has long been dead.

I ended up moving into a brand new house in O’Brien Lake in Grande Prairie. It was myself and one bible thumper living there. He had been gone away for work for some time. I was up until 2am studying, I decided it was time for bed. I laid in my bed and looked up casually and noticed my attic entry was pushed up. My stomach dropped and adrenaline flooded my body. I called the guy I was seeing and told him I HAD to come over. I couldn’t sleep for two days..I began getting nightmares. I slept at his place for two weeks. Since then I felt like I was being watched alone in bedrooms. I am also a very active dreamer. My boyfriend told me I was talking in my sleep and I would sit up very fast and say things like “there’s too many people in here”. I explained what happened to my roommate.. he didn’t like the thought of me living there anymore and I moved shortly after.

I babysat for a friend often, she would work night shift. I slept in the spare room in the basement. A few times I woke up and the bed was shaking. As if I had been dropped on the bed. Like bouncing sort of. That was terrifying.

I worked a lot of night shifts at the hospital as well. One night I was reading and I briefly looked up and I saw a white mass of fog move as a body down the hallway of the hospital.. it was going fast enough. When I go to the staff room on nights I always feel that there is someone else in there with me..even when I’m alone.

I currently live with my best friend in her house. The lights will flicker often. And the basement light will turn on by itself. I didn’t think anything of it, maybe poor electrical right. Since we moved in I felt like someone was there with us.. I always thought they were an older person, kinda like a homemaker or something. I asked a psychic about it, she said yes there is an old lady in our house.. my great-grandmother or something.. she followed me. Our roommates crack jokes a lot about this. Unsure if we believe it or not.

One night myself and a roommate were making a carrot cake in the kitchen, and we made a comment about “is this enough icing”. And then my friend said “I don’t know maybe we should ask nana”…so we laughed and asked her.. we laughed about it for a moment and carried on. Five minutes later the TV in the next room turned on by itself. We just looked at each other for a while and then laughed. The faucets will turn on slightly by themselves as well.

So those are just a few examples.”

Thorold Ghosts: May You Go In Peace

Thorold ghosts haunted paranormal Ontario Canada

Location: Thorold, Ontario, Canada

Ghost report from Butch on May 3, 2015:

“Several years ago my Nonna passed away at 83 years old. She was a vibrant, hardy woman from Italy. She Passed from Cancer. I think I am the only one in my family that willingly speaks about spirits.

At a young age of 20, a complete stranger gave me a reading. It was of a friend who died in a motorcycle accident a year before in the same town of Thorold.This person giving me the reading lived in Oshawa, almost 150 miles away, and would not of known of him.

The experience with my grandmother was surreal. She had passed in the winter months, and I lived in Mississauga. So on the day she was to be buried, I had a long drive and to pass the time I thought about her a lot. The poor woman withered away. As I drove I remembered her on her death-bed. I was the last one of the family to be recognized by her. I kissed her, said a prayer with her, and left. Not to see her again until that day of the funeral, when the six grandsons were to be her pallbearers.

My Uncle, who was the care taker of the services in town, lived in town and offered me a room at his home for me to get changed for mass. My Grandmother had a small home with a bedroom upstairs, which had no door, and we were always told to ask before we were to go upstairs and ask if they were decent before we entered.

As I entered my uncle’s home, I went upstairs to the room she stayed in when she was too tired to go home. At that time when I entered the room, I closed the door, purposefully listened to the click of the door, and turned to get undressed. Just as I was about to unbutton my shirt, the door clicked open and I turned around to see who it might be. It opened just an inch, I knew I had closed it. So for a laugh I said out loud, “come in grandma, I am decent at this instant”.

I was shocked, but not scared, the door opened as if someone walked In and gently closed the door with an audible click. And suddenly, I felt from my feet to my knees to the top of my head a cool swirling light breeze that seemed to envelope me and then fly out a closed window just to the left of me. At that moment I said good-bye out loud to her and said, “I love you, may you go in peace“.

So, to say I believe in spirits, I would say yes. I have told this to several of my family, but they say I am nuts. But I know it was her saying good-bye to me.”

Scarborough Ghosts: Little Girl Standing There

Scarborough ghosts haunted paranormal Ontario Canada

Location: Scarborough, Ontario, Canada

Ghost report from Matthew on April 21, 2015:

“It was in 2007. It was me, my mom, brother, his girlfriend, my uncle, his girlfriend and my cousin. We all moved into this three-story house, just by Finch & Victoria Park. It was a five bedroom place, with three bathrooms. My uncle, his girlfriend and cousin lived in the basement. My mom, brother, and his girlfriend lived on the main floor, and I had a room on the top floor. There were two rooms, but one room was used as an office for my brother.

I was 16 years old at the time, and I was never really a believer of ghosts, or the paranormal. The events that myself and my mom and brother’s girlfriend experienced changed my beliefs. Let me start by saying, when we were moving in our things, our neighbor came to us, and told us, “you won’t last long in that house”. We thought she was crazy. We didn’t really know what she meant, but we continued to bring things into the house and so on.

I’ll tell you, none of us living there really believed this stuff, especially my brother. He still doesn’t to this day, but that’s because he never witnessed the things me, my mom, and his girlfriend witnessed in that house.

Let’s start with my mom and brother’s girlfriend’s story. They almost always watched movies in her room, at night, and they would always hear running upstairs. My brother would be working in his office, and I’d either be on my computer or playing video games in my room (if I wasn’t out with friends), or I’d be in the basement with my cousin. Now, they heard running UPSTAIRS. They used to hear things like little kids, girls, screaming and yelling. They would hear little girls crying for help, and groaning and moaning, like the kids were being tortured. They were shocked. They would hear it many days of the week while watching movies. That’s one thing, but the next thing, really scared them.

She would be in the bathroom, and my mom would be in the kitchen cooking, and the bathroom and kitchen were pretty much beside each other, and when my brother’s girlfriend was trying to open the door to get out, she couldn’t. She felt trapped in. But she thought my mom was playing a prank on her, but my mom had no idea. She would say “mom, let me out, stop blocking the door”, my mom would yell out from the kitchen, “I’m cooking, my hands are dirty, it’s not me!”. She would then try pushing harder and harder to get out, and my mom saw the struggling, but saw nobody keeping her in. She cleaned up and tried to help open the door for her, but she was also struggling. After a couple minutes, my mom pulled the door open and finally got her out.

They couldn’t believe what just happened, but again, brushed it off, thinking it wasn’t a big deal. Another time, my mom was home alone, cooking. Brother and girlfriend went out. My cousin and I were at school, and uncle and his gf were at work, so my mom was alone. In the kitchen, there’s a door going down to the basement. While my mom was cooking, that door would open randomly, slowly. Funny thing, no outside door was open, no windows were open. She was confused. Remember, nobody was home. It was at noon time, everyone was out. She would close the door, turn on her radio and listen to music, trying to ignore what happened. The door opened again, and she really freaked out. She went to close it, and as she was going back to the sink, the radio station changed. At the moment, she left the cooking, got dressed and left the house, and went to the McDonald’s that was minutes away. She texted me and told me to meet her there after school. When I did, she explained what happened. I thought she was going crazy. I told her, maybe a window was open a bit, or something, and she told me everything was closed. I was in shock, but still couldn’t believe it. I kid you not, after that day, my mom would leave the house with my cousin and I when we were leaving for school, and she would go to the McDonald’s, or Bridlewood Mall, until we got home from school, because she didn’t want to be alone.

Now, here’s my story, here’s what I witnessed. It was December, so I was obviously on my Christmas break from school, and that’s when I witnessed and saw something I would never forget. I woke up at around 11am. Washed up, whatever. Now, to get to my room on the top floor, there is a long stairwell. I was going down the stairs to get a bowl of cereal. I was slowly walking up the stairs because I had cereal and didn’t want to spill. I looked up for a second, and at the end of the stairs, I saw a little girl standing there. She had black hair, a white dress, she was probably 5 years old. I stopped and stood still on the step. I turned back and yelled for my mom to come, and I turned back and the girl was gone. I was scared to death, because that was the first time I witnessed this in my life, let alone in this house. After all the stories and things my mom and brother’s girlfriend witnessed, I finally saw something and I finally believed the things they told me. I couldn’t believe it. Weird thing is, the only people that witnessed things in this house were the three of us.

The house had an attic, which we never opened or went in. In my room, there was an extra square wood block drilled into the wall. Like there was a hole in the wall that was covered up. When we first moved in, we joked with my brother and cousin that there was dead bodies in there. After everything we witnessed, I wouldn’t be shocked if that was the case. Now, remember when I told you the lady that lived beside us told us we wouldn’t last long? Its crazy, because she was right. Shortly after, we moved out. We moved in the beginning of November of 2007, and moved out March of 2008. My mom couldn’t take it anymore. She didn’t want to live in a house where she was terrified to stay alone. To this day, I drive by that place with my friends, and we just park in front and watch the house. We drove by a couple months ago, and nobody was living there.

I truly believe this house is haunted. Something happened in that house or on that property. I never believed ghosts, or the paranormal, but after living there, I truly am a believer now, and I watch ghost shows all the time.”

Truro Ghosts: She Walks Along The Dykes Near The Road

Truro ghosts haunted paranormal Nova Scotia Canada

Location: Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada

Ghost report from Val on April 23, 2015:

“When I was a teenager a local trustworthy man was walking home from his job in Truro along the road to his home in Old Barns along the Cobequid Bay, at the end of the Bay of Fundy.

It was late at night and he was used to walking along in the dark as it is only five miles from town and their family was rather poor as they had lots of children to feed. They all were good friends of our family.

As he was walking along, he said he saw a transparent female walking along the old Dykes near the road! He was petrified and when he got home called my father who was the Director of Emergency for Truro and outskirts at the time. He calmed him down and the man told him his story.

It all came out as locals recalled an old story of a tavern owner that had his shop nearby prior to the expulsion of the Acadians, many were expelled from this area at the time. The Tavern owner had lost his wife due to illness and his daughter helped him in the tavern, which she did not like as it was hard work and she envied all the sailors that came to the tavern and longed to get away with them to see the world. Some sailors befriended her and conceived a plan to rob her father as they figured that he had lots of money in their home in the tavern. They convinced the young daughter to take them under cover of night to the tavern and let them in, which she did. They took the hidden money and fled. And she fled after them crying, as they did not want to take her with them. They only used her to get their hands on the booty!

She ran after them, where they killed her and cut off her head. Her ghost was said to haunt the road the tavern was located on and was reported that at various times since the incident she could be seen holding her head and running back, crying forgiveness to her father.

It has been seen a lot in the evenings The man who saw it and reported it was completely trustworthy and it scared him, so he would not walk the road at night. And us children were warned not to walk that road at night should we ever encounter the ghost he saw.”

Truro Ghosts: Orange Figure Approached Me

Truro ghosts haunted paranormal

Location: Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada

Ghost report from Alec on June 24, 2014:

“In summer 2008, my family rented a cottage for a week outside of Truro in Nova Scotia. Because of a lack of rooms, I ended up in the sunroom at the front of the house which had a panoramic view of the ocean.

One evening, when it was dark out and all that was on was my reading lamp, to my right a fair distance away, I saw a large orange shape making it’s way down the road. As I watched, this orange figure not only stopped heading down the road, but appeared to be approaching me. As it got closer, it appeared to be human shaped. Getting a bit scared, I turned away and shut my eyes, only to hear a voice whisper in my left ear, as though someone were standing over my bed, “how are you?”.

Needless to say I didn’t respond or look up. No one else was around to see/experience it, but I hear those words as clearly now as then.”
