FREE: Haunted Ghost Stories Stuffed Purse Auction -- Share your Stories to fill the Purse!

One time when my hubby was doing plumbing service work at an old convent him and his apprentice strted hearing banging, but they were the only ones in the building. At first they thought it was just rats making noise , but it sounded like a person was banging the tub right next to them....so they say "Do it again" and a wrench comes FLYING at them from across the room.....they ran the heck out of there and if their work truck wasn't blocked in they would have left and not even finished the job.

When my kids were babies I had a playpen set up in our living room that was a 1/2 level down from the kitchen (we lived in a tri-level duplex). I could see the whole living room from the kitchen and had put the kidlings in the playpen so I could wash the dishes. I looked over to check on them and saw a white msty cloud hovering near them going slowly back and forth in front tof the playpen. All of a sudden it rushed to be right in front of the playpen and I saw a dark wispy cloud try to get past it! This white cloud thing was protecting my babies! I went down there and scooped them up! The dishes never did get done that day!

I have a scary story...this one time, at Neiman Marcus in Chicago....I bought something that I thought was on sale...then when I got to the register, the damn sales clerk rang it up FULL PRICE!!! After I got done screaming bloody murder and stopped shaking I put it back on the rack...ooooh....na new na new na new na new...LOL....Sorry, J...I really don't have any scary stories! :(

Are you sure your cats don't smoke? I caught my dog sneaking cigs and playing poker with the pitbull downstairs. You can't trust the quadripeds. You never know what they are doing when you sleep. ;)

I think I want to simply "fan" this auction. What a creative, fun idea to share ghost stories. How appropriate for this time of year too. So here goes mine...

So when I was a teenager I was babysitting at an old farm house. It was a regular job...I was like a "Mom's helper". I remember playing with this little boy outside a lot and there was this one part of the house that I just got the heeby jeebies from each time I had to go near it. One night while I was sitting for this little boy, I had put him to bed and come back downstairs to read a book and all of a sudden the dishwasher switched on. Its a very old farm house and I don't think ANY of the appliances were ever upgraded. I went to check it to see if there was a timer setting on it and it was an OLD washer...so no setting. Creepy enough, right? Well, then I started hearing foot steps upstairs. LOTS of footsteps in the little boys room. BACK AND FORTH! But he was a BABY and he was in a crib. I called my mom and told her what was going on and that I was super freaked out because I was afraid someone was in the house. I went to check on the baby and the rocker in his room was rocking, but the baby was sound asleep. I went back downstairs and by that time my mom was there, and we could hear the footsteps again. Once the parents got home I mentioned all the "happenings" to the mother and she was so "whatever" about it all and said, "Oh yeah, we have a 'friendly' ghost that lives with us". Ummm, yeah! Your child is not even 2 lady!!! And your just OK with that THING being here. That would have been nice to know BEFORE ever being there alone. Needless to say, I quit that job and never went back. From what I heard this women couldn't ever keep a sitter there and a few were my friends who had very similar experiences. Each time I have to drive by that house again to visit my family, it creeps me out.

I could share tons as I live in a rather haunted house. After a while I just get used to the doors opening and closing and such. I do have a two year old that has her crib across from her dresser that has a big mirror on top. She is a really happy go lucky chld and rarely fusses. There are times thought that she will look in the mirror and just start screaming. She shakes and turns bright red and won't stop screaming until we get her out. We have to hold her for a long time to calm her down. As she is getting older and her speach is clearing up, we can make out what she has been telling us. "The big man scared me!"
We (and just about anyone who has ever visited) have heard running upstairs and children laughing and playing.. I have the feeling of a dog or cat jump onto my bed at night a lot and we don't have pets. Too many stories to list, but such a fun auction!

Fanned and watching!! love the stories!!
When I was a little girl we lived in a really nice two story redwood home that was previously owned by a very sweet little old lady. It was my Mom, Dad, myself, our cat Callie, and our Saint Brenard Brandi. We had a two story metal spiral staircase that I loved. I was woken up at 3 am by a man screaming and loud thumping coming from the staircase. I ran out cause I thought that my dad fell down the stairs. The dog was in bed with my mom and the cat was asleep with me. The sound woke up my dad and myself. We both ran out of our rooms at the opposite ends of the hall and when we got there, there was nothing there. We shrugged our shoulders at each other and went back to bed. The next morning when we woke up, we found dried blood on our staircase. About a week later we found out that the reason that the little old lady sold the place so cheap was because her husband had a slip and fall accident on the staircase. Creepy, I loved every minute of that though and have been a scary movie fanatic ever since... :)

I refuse to read anymore of the posts. Yes, I am that big of a chickenshhhh! But I totally support this auction. Such a brilliant idea Jody! This turned out to be a frightfully fun campfire!

I love the idea of this auction, and the picture is a little weird. Lol. Here is my story:

Me and my husband at the time was renting a trailer from my uncle's ex wife. It use to be her uncles and granddads. I'm not sure if anyone had every passed away in the house. I never did ask. We had a 4 month old daughter and we had bought this bouncy seat from a thrift store. It did not have batteries in it and was always switched to off mode. We had it sitting outside on the porch one night because we had been moving things around that day. I don't know what made me look outside, but when I did, I seen the bouncy chair had the green light on meaning it was on. I walked outside and it was vibrating.. I checked to make sure it was off, and it was still on off and then I checked to make sure there were no batteries and there wasn't.. That creeped me out. Over the next few weeks, we would hear my daughters toys playing (they were musical toys) by themselves. I would walk in her room and they were put up in the closet, where they always were. I figured maybe one of us moved too hard in the trailer or something and they fell on top of each other and started playing so I separated them. The next day, the same thing happened. This was near Halloween so we went and got some of those gargoyle things for decoration, and after we got them, nothing happened again. I was so creeped out though.

I'm inspired to do an auction asking people how they met their significant other.... now I just need a great item to list to go with it.... : )

I have a story for you Jody.

When I was 20 yrs old, I was home with my grandfather. He was downstairs watching tv, I was up in my room playing on the net. I went down to get something to drink, and he was slumped over my couch dead in my living room. I was home alone.

To make a long story short, 6am had rolled around and I was sitting in my room with my ex b/f and we heard the upstairs (2 rooms away) toilet flush. Complete flush, bowl emptied, filled back up. It was right next to his room and we were the only 2 people upstairs.

I know it was him. It surely wasnt us

i have some creepy stories, but the best one is probably one from my good friend. while he was still living with his mom, he was at home playing on the computer in his room in the basement, next to the laundry room. his mom came down the stairs and said something to him, but he wasn't paying attention.. thought nothing of it, kept playing games. a little while later, his mom comes back down stairs with a basket of laundry and passes through his room into the laundry room, doesn't say a word to him. when he doesn't hear anything from the laundry room for a few minutes, he goes in and no one is there. he goes upstairs and his mom had left him a note that she was gone out to get groceries. he never did figure out what it is. she came home safely and was quite spooked out by the story when he told her!

I have a ghost story to share... but will have to come back tomorrow... I just wanted to stop by and tell you what a KICK I am getting from this auction! I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the creativity of this! And reading the stories... oh my gosh- how fun is this auction?

I have one for ya...I was a friend's house when I was highly medicated. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a young woman floating in the corner. I was so out of it that I wasn't scare or anything. Later that day, I asked my friend about the ghost and she said that she's been there for as long as she's been living there. She had me describe her to make sure I saw what she saw and it was just so creepy. My hubby at the time said that he had also saw her standing at the foot of the bed (this was when he had gotten hurt on a training accident and was staying over at the friend's house). She wasn't a bad ghost. She watches over the children and who ever stays at the house. But it was creepy enough cuz my friend never told me about it and when I saw her, I didn't want to believe in it.

What fun!

In early 2002, my mom and I, along with my 15 month old daughter, moved into a rental condo. From the first day we moved in, my daughter would run down the hall, pointing, saying "baby, baby." We thought she was just being silly. She did this almost every day. Several week after moving in, I was taking a shower with the door partly open. My mom had gone to work and I was home alone with my daughter, she was sleeping in her playpen in my room. We had glass shower doors and I watched a baby come toddling into the bathroom. My daughter had started climbing out of the playpen at times, so I said "good morning" and told her to sit down and wait for me, and then she vanished. I slid open the shower doors and went to my room and my daughter was sound asleep in a pink sleeper. The baby I saw was wearing blue.

When my daughter was two years old, I was working at the computer and she was playing with toys on the floor. Suddenly she turned white as a sheet and crawled into my lap visibly terrified saying "that boy scared me" and pointing to an empty chair.

Something in that house wanted to play. My watch went missing from my dresser where I would always put it if I was not wearing it. I searched everywhere for it, for weeks! One day I was sitting at my desk and I heard a big "thump." I turned around and my watch was in the middle of the floor. It could have only been on the ceiling as there was nothing nearby for it to fall from. This happened a few more times with shoes, though they were never missing for that much time. We would tear the house apart looking for a shoe, only to find it sitting in the middle of the couch in plain sight.

We lived there for five years and several things like this happened over the first three years or so, and then they suddenly stopped.

Here's my story.....My Nana was the only grandparent I ever had. All of the others had passed away before I was born. She suffered from congestive heart failure and emphysema. I visited her regularly and was compelled to visit her one evening. When I was there she told me she was "tired and ready", I knew what that ment. I didn't want to leave but had to because I had a baby at home. Nana insisted that both my mom and aunt spend the night with her that night. Sure enough she passed with them sitting there holding her hands. I woke up in the middle of the night, about the time she passed, and knew she was gone. i must have been dreaming and in my dream she came to me to say goodbye. She watches over us and leaves us little clues that she does, like her hair rollers on the floor. Nobody else uses them and they are put away so the kids can't get them. She also saved my son's life twice. No one else was there and she loved him so so much. She has even made an appearance in a Christmas picture of my mother. You can clearly see a arm and hand around my moms shoulder and we took it to a professional to see if it was a reflection or something on the lens and he said no. It was something else. We miss her so much and we are just glad to know she is with Paw Paw and is ok and watching over us.

wow this is great i will be watching this onei dont know which i like more the bag or the stories this is better then a movie iam keeper i bowl of popcorn beside the pc fanned and watching

Thanks to everybody who has posted a story....this has been so much fun I hate to see the auction end : ( I may end up doing another one similar this month so that we can keep the Halloween Ghost stories going....there is still a lot of October left!! Wonder if there will be enough stories for another? : )

Dang jody this is the best and i mean best auction ever!!! Lol had to take a brake on those scary stories cause lol i know there pretty scary as i love scary movies too!!! :)

OK, here's one. Not as creepy as some, but makes you go "hmmmm." When my grandma died in 1979, my mom took a pic of her in her casket. When the film came back, there was a figure in the picture above the casket that looked like it had a head and two tails swirling off it...no features, just a wispy white thing. They explained it as a trick of the light or something on the film. But then my grandpa died in 1994 and they took a pic of HIS casket and the film came back with the same wispy figure, with a head and two tails!! I don't have an explanation for it, but I think it's weird!!!

Indyanna81: best comment ever! :)

I have one. I lived in Oceanside CA for about three years and several really strange things happened while I was there. I will just tell of one. I was building and servicing computers out of my home at the time. I had one of the old back up power supplies sitting on a metal folding chair in the hallway connecting my living room to the rooms towards the back of the apartment. My work room was at the end of this hallway. I having a very heated discussion with a friend in the work room and we were the only two in the apartment at the time. Now mind you these old backup power supplies for computers weighted about 15 pounds and this one in particular had been on that chair for a number of days at this point. All of the sudden we hear this loud thud from the hallway. We both stop dead in our conversation and looked out into the hallway. I was thinking maybe my girlfriend at the time had come home and was stomping or something to get my attention and stop the heated discussion I was having. But what we found was the unit in question several feet away from the chair and no one else there but us. Needless to say the discussion ended and he left immediately. That entity actually made itself know several times in that apartment before I finally moved out. And it seemed that every time he or it or whatever made themselves known was when I was angry about something and on the verge of losing my temper. I think the entity was protecting me. Crazy huh?

oh! Fanned and watching for my fiance. She wants to know if I win this for her does the ghost come with the shirt or are you keep it for yousef? LOL!

Mine is a spirit story, not a ghost story! My husband passed to the Other Side 5 years ago on Oct 1. About 3 months after he passed something told me to turn my tape recorder on while I was sleeping and try to record EGOs-electronic voice phenomenon. To my surprise when I listened to it the next morning, I heard his voice and that of a female entity. He was thanking her for helping him and telling her that he wanted to learn because when you love someone...That's all I could make out. Since that time I have maybe 50 tapes of him. One tape you can hear him laughing and telling me to get off of him! I must have rolled over on him in bed! Just about every night I can feel him get into bed with me. Many more things on the tapes, but how wonderful is all this! The Veil is definitely thinning! Blessings!

When my grandmother passed away, my husband & I bought her house and moved in with our then 2 yr. old daughter. Alot of my loved ones/family have "passed" in that house, but we didn't "buy into" ghost stories. Anyway we lived in part of the house, while renovating others.....it all began as soon as we started renovations!!!! My husband & I will always be convinced our daughter has been occasionally possessed by my grandmothers spirit!!!!! She stomped around yelling at us for "tearing up" her house, screaming "how dare you" and other things.....she was livid! We took her to my mothers...she calmed down, passed out and slept for hours....this kept happening until we completed the livingroom. All was well until we got to my grandmothers bedroom (the room she died in)....now after 8 months, we still haven't gotten that room redone, cause even if we try to work on it when my daughter is at grandmas house with grandma, the minute we start working my daughter loses it and we get a phone call from my mom!!!!!

woo! yay! ghost stories!! i live for this stuff!! =D

here's one: (not too interesting, but it is true)

i am an amateur ghost hunter. i took my bf to this one cemetery that has an excellent reputation for being haunted. it is a 45 min. drive from where i live. anyhoo, he was walking around..that night it was super creepy in there, i felt something bad. i was doing an evp session (electronic voice phenomena, done with a digital voice recorder or tape recorder), and my small tape recorder was in his coat pocket, with the external mic hanging out. there was a tree there that was referred to the hanging tree (cults), and i could NOT go anywhere near this tree. i stood close to the awning where this church used to be (burned down eons ago, i believe in the early 1900s). needless to say, we stayed 10 minutes (he admitted to feeling creeped out too)..i listened to the recording in his jeep on the way home, and got a man's voice CLEARLY saying "tree"..it was NOT my bf's voice!! frankly, i do not know HOW i slept that night! haha! this was back in 2007. even have it up on my facebook..now that i am used to this stuff, it doesn't bother me anymore. but this is a true ghost(hunter) story!!

I have another one. My aunt lives in a two story "castle" house in Florida. It's called the castle house because at the top, it is shaped like a castle. Anyway, it is a historical house where one of the presidents lived (I think Andrew Jackson? Not sure) and a few other famous people. My mom and my aunt will always count their socks when they go there and lay them out on the beds at night. Every morning, at least one pair of their socks are missing. His feet must get cold. Lol. They call him Freddy because they're not really sure on who he is. On different occasions, my aunts and my cousins have seen an old man floating right above the ground with a long nightgown on like they were back in those days. He has his own room because that is where he stays and no one really goes in there. One night, my aunt decided to sleep in his room and my other aunt was sleeping in the room right next to it (there is a door connecting both rooms). In the dead of night my aunt that was sleeping in his room woke up screaming and was pinned down to the bed and she said she felt electricity running through her body. My other aunt came in and saw the man but didn't think anything of it. She thought my aunt was saying turn on the light when she was really screaming help me. She turned on the light and he was gone and my aunt was fine. Very scary. One night I was there, and this same aunt was in a different bedroom with a fan sitting on the nightstand. It was switched to off. All of a sudden it started moving the opposite way that a fan blows. First it started off slow and then it sped up little by little. She thought my cousin had turned on the fan but she was down stairs the whole time. She unplugged the fan and went and slept in my aunts RV in the back yard that night. Very scary stuff happens in that house but everyone still loves going there for some reason.

I keep stopping back by here because I love the concept of this auction. :) You actually inspired me to create one similar. Mine is a "bite me" auction where people can vent their frustrations in the comments. LOL!

Continued. And also when my sister and I were younger, we had moved into a house just down the street from the one we'd lived in when my grandpa had passed. There were good and bad spirits in that house. My parents would go grocery shopping and leave us there after my sister was old enough to watch out for things, she is 8 years older than me. There were times that it was pure terrifying to be in that house, I remember hiding in mom and dads old wardrobe that they used to have, something would scare me and I would get in it, sit down and shut the doors. A few times the doors would shake back and forth like something was trying to get in. In my sisters room, there was a painting of an old woman, but it was like it was part of the wall, you couldn't take it down or anything. We tried painting over it, but it was impossible, the painting would be there that night or the next day like a drop of paint never touched it. There was an awful feeling connected with that portrait. Something that had to run very deep because when my sister and I were adults even, and living about 7 hours away from eachother, we will have the same nightmarish dream on the same night of that old woman and to both of us she looked to be a horrible spectre. I still live in the same town I grew up in and passing by that house to this day still makes me wonder what exactly was behind all of it. We were both very troubled by that house and whatever was in it. These are just the beginning of the things I could tell you as throughout my life, I have become used to similar happenings, not all as bad though and some good. Maybe I will drop back in later to share more. Thanks for putting up this auction like you did, because sometimes it helps someone to be able to talk about their experiences, some people don't have the chance to talk to someone who already believes and has had something happen to them before. Fanned you and am watching.

Just recently I won a halloween lot on here and in the lot was a cute decorative ceramic pumpkin basket. out of no where it fell off my counter (which means if somehow moved atleast 6" and my kids were upstairs) and fell onto my hardwood floors. You would think it shattered right?....... only a "W" broke out of the top 1 1/2" rim. It's a perfectly shaped W and on the pumpkin it says "the woodlands assisted living" not sure if that is where the W comes from, but it was really freaky how it all happened.
