The Dairy Queen restaurant in Flint, Michigan is haunted. While I was using the restroom there, the lights flickered on and off and the roll of toilet paper unrolled right in front me. That experience literally scared the shit out of me...

Back in the 70’s, I was in grad school in Dublin, Ireland. I lived in a bed sit in a lovely old house. There was a ghost in my room. We all saw her. She was always sitting or standing, looking out the window. She wore a long dress. I thought she was watching, waiting for someone, maybe a husband or lover who died in WWI. She wasn’t scary at all. Sometimes things would be moved during the night. I went back last year. The house had been totally renovated and rooms were no longer rented out. The window was gone and the lady was gone too.

Years ago when I was married I slept on my sofa and a full moon was out. I woke up feeling a presence standing next to me! It was a very handsome cowboy dressed in black with a cowboy hat on. We starred at each other and I wasn't afraid!! He had a look of remorse on his face and pure love like he knew me!! I went to visit my sister 300 miles away A few weeks later and I walked around looking at her flowers as she was getting me ice tea. She came out with the tea and started SCREAMING. She cried you will think I'm nuts but a man dressed in black who was very handsome and wore a cowboy hat put his arm around you as you walked side by side in my garden!! It freaked me out cause It was the same ghost I had seen I'm quite sure!! She saw him this time but I didnt

When a spirit voice asks for help, I would assume they need assistance to move on ( instead of being stuck where they are ). They may need assistance and guidance to find and go to " the light " to find their true spiritual home.

I was born in Grand Rapids Michigan back in 1968. I love ghost stories from my home state.

I spent so many nights at 7 Gables, no one ever screamed but us teens scaring each other lol. We did find the witches cottage and got stuck in the mud. It was a great place as kids to just wonder around and explore. I miss those days

I guess 13 did a Halloween special... It's very good. You guys should do more.
Great for tourism!

[jmcdhome]

Thank you for this. And please keep it online. Don't pull it down. I did not see this until after Halloween. I'd love to reshare this next year to family and friends

I was born and raised in Allegan. I have been through the old city jail, downstairs in the basement to the left is a wall, onetime that I was in the old jail I saw another room and a woman going through yet another room I followed her, she was wearing a long 1700s black dress, she was washing clothes in a big metal wash tub. When she saw me, she smiled and was gone. The upstairs in one of the rooms, I saw a prisoner with an evil look on his face.
I do have a 6th sense, I can see the ghost of the past. They are in solid form, and I can hear spirits of the past as well.

Back in 2006, I purchased an older single wide trailer that was in good shape for its age. Before I moved in, I had to do a little bit of cleaning and in the kitchen was a huge pool of dried blood. I just told myself it was from a dog giving birth or something and tried to forget about it. Nothing too spooky happened except for one occurrence when I got woken up from a nap around 2pm by a loud voice saying "Your cat brought you a mouse...she brought you a mouse."

I laid there confused for a few minutes trying to gather my thoughts because it sounded like my mom yet I was 100% sure my doors were locked and she had no reason to be there anyway. When I did finally sit up to get out of bed, I then noticed my cat had brought a handful of her toy mice up onto the bed which I couldn't have seen without actually sitting up. Whatever it was is something I think followed me to my next home because I got woken up by the same voice late at night at that house telling me I had a staph infection...three days later, signs of a staph infection showed up and was confirmed with a trip to the doctor.

My fiance was born in St. Joseph, Michigan, back in 1986. He only lived there for 18 months until his father, being in the Navy, was relocated to Bremerton Washington. He's heard rumors that even St. Joseph is haunted.

As a michigander I always love hearing about the creepy stuff that's supposedly happens in the state.
But sadly I don't know if I can buy into any of this because I spend an awful lot of time in the woods by myself in remote areas and I've never seen anything creepy.. at least nothing that can't be explained rationally.
However it hasn't stopped me from trying to find them

She became a believer after a few investigations, I get more skeptical from every investigation I do.

Trust me I lived on a old Indian buriel sits not knowing in KC!! I left after 3 years of crazy bizzare stuff happening! From 5 ft away I saw a book dead center on table went flying off. I stayed calm and I had a stone creepy old basement and felt someone staring at me in the one corner but yet no one there. Later I ask a one time resident if some spirit is in that basement from his childhood days there?? He said his uncle came back from Vietnam and hung himself in the same corner in my basement!!! Empty 5 ft metal shelves would fall forward in slow motion one by one and not near a window!! I was told several years before a man died in my house in my living room!! Doors would open and close on its own as I watched in horror. Small amount of fresh blood appeared on my walls and it didn't come from me!! I'd see my empty medicine cabinet open on its own! I'd hear a couple softly giggling and whispering in the next room and no one there. I was thrilled to sell it. Neighbors laughed saying this whole neighborhood is known to be haunted!! They shared stories

I am also an empath which helps, in the investigations. That I do the house I live in now in Dowagiac, Michigan is very haunted. I was awakened by somebody standing next to my window in my room and I happened to pull out my phone and I started recording because I didn’t have my digital recorder messing with me at the moment and the room was completely filled with orbs and my dog which I have a little Chihuahua was watching something around the room in her head was following it. I believe he’s in the attic.
