One of the scenes in Morpheus Road: The Light was easy to write because I based it on something that actually happened to me. I won’t go into detail here until after the book comes out (you know, spoilers) but I will say it has something to do with Marsh Seaver being home alone playing music. . . and hearing some very strange sounds. What I wrote about in the book is pretty much exactly what happened to me, and I was never able to explain what it was, other than to believe there was something truly other-wordly going on.
Has anybody else had something spooky happen to them? Only real stories, please. No fiction.
Connor says:
Okay, I was in my house brushing my teeth away from the door, and the lights were turned on, and then they just turned off and I was like ten feet away from it, it was SO FREAKY!
Breanna says:
I was spending the night at a friend’s house one night and she was already passed out (we made a freakin awesome fort that night :] and we were the only ones home) and i was still trying to get to sleep when i heard someone walking outside the fort, so i just layed there an listened for a second, but then i heard like a stage whisper of someone saying “It looks like she’s asleep!”
Yeah. =] it was AWESOME!!! cuz we’ve had lots of experiences in her house before. that’s the most recent one lol.
Breanna says:
@ Alex Kelly
the cigarrette smoke you smell might actually not be a phantom smell, if u haven’t done any serious deep cleaning on the couch at all, then it could have absorbed the smell of cigarrettes. just a thought, not saying i don’t believe you or anything cuz i do lol =]
Ryan says:
This is really weird, all though its not really supernatural.
Me and my dad were coming back from the orthidontist, and my neighbour across the street was standing outside, taking his dog for a walk. But he was wearing a wide-brimmed hat and looking down, I guess at his dog. He looked exactly like Gravedigger! I was actually scared at first, until he looked up. Then when we were eating lunch, I looked out the back window, and saw gravedigger AGAIN! (This time it was a satallite dish and and some other stuff with 2 shadows that looked like legs, but it took a second glance to figure that out.)
Allison says:
Once it was in the morning, and I didn’t hear any sounds, so I figured none was awake yet (It was Saturday) So I decide to get dressed, and throw my dirty cloths in the hamper in my closet. But just then there was this banging on the wall of my closet. I knocked back, thinking it was my brother trying to creep me out. It knocked again, in some random pattern. I repeat the pattern. I hear knocks again, this time longer and more elaborate. I repeat it again. after this I decide to go see who it is, so I go to where they would have to be to knock, and nones there, I go farther down, to see if they hid. nones there. I go to look in my brothers room. He’s asleep, and I even ask him later to make sure. I go to my parents room, and they’re asleep also. Creepy . . .
Crim says:
Has anyone here actually seen anything/one?
This happened over a few months- One morning around 7, I was getting ready for school, (to get from my room to the bathroom you have to walk across a hall where you can see down the stairs), I got a really weird feeling so I turned and looked down the stairs. Down at the bottom of the steps was a guy. He had round glasses, overalls, messy gray hair, a creepy smile, and was pretty much see through. I stood there staring at him for a few minutes, when I finally took a step back. Simultaneously, the guy stepped forward. It happened twice. Then I turned and ran into my room. When I came out a few minutes later, he was gone. I checked all over the house, and all the doors and windows were locked.
I didn’t tell anyone, but a few nights later, my mom told me about a guy she had seen walking through her room. She said it happened twice and his description looked just like the guy I saw. A few other things happened and a few nights later was the last time I saw him. I was sitting in bed when I heard things moving. Then, I saw someone walk past my door. I jumped out of bed and ran to look out my door. No one was there. My mom had someone come bless the house and I never saw him again.
I’m telling the truth. I swear.
I’m
Cole says:
like once i was in the bathroom and i was turn off the lights and walked out then like 10 seconds later the bathroom fan turned on, and once i was sleeping and i woke up ate like 1 30 am and i looked down and there was a 2 foot tall man that looked like he was paper and had an evil Face and i blinked and it vanished Strange…..
Devin says:
Well I was home all by myself, And I being a packrat keep all the things I used to play with when I was 6, none of which were touched for 10 years .One of these was a handheld whack-a-mole game, which lights up and makes noise. I went to the bathroom and when I came back the whack-a-mole game turned on by itself and totally freaked me out. I didn’t even know it still had batteries.
William says:
Thanks Crim, I’m gonna have nightmares about that little story for a long while.. That dude you described sounds like something my Brother saw looking into his window like, a month ago. Really weird.
Omar says:
Well I was going to my moms room at like 6:30 am so I could get ready for school, and I saw someone standing at the top of the stairs and when I went back up there I turned on the light and I felt someone hit my back. I totally freaked and ran off.
Omar says:
Once I was sleeping over at my cousins house and I heard a weird high pitched noise and I asked my grandma. She said it was the wind, and like 2 mins later a high pitched alarm went off and I heard a thud. I ran to my cousins room and she had fallen off her bed. There was no alarm clock.
Omar says:
i was at my friends house when suddenly there was a big thud from upstairs, when we checked it out i saw a figure running away
Darkness says:
one thing that happened to me was that i was in the our piano room and was playing it for my lessons(I don’t really like piano anymore but my mom makes me take lessons). All of the sudden, right in the middle of a song, the keys took on a life of their own. they just started playing and i took my hands off but they still played. the good thing was, though, that they seemed to follow the song i was playing so they finished it and i didn’t have to practice anymore. word of advice: NEVER EVER if you have to take piano lessons or you like piano(no offense please). NEVER EVER PRACTICE IN A SUPPOSED HAUNTED HOUSE WITH AN OLD PIANO. and that’s when everything in my old, supposedly haunted, house.
Darkness says:
another one was when i was little in our old house, it was about nine and my closet doors was opened and i couldn’t get to sleep. i was staring at the ceiling then i suddenly looked at my closet. i was looking at the spot where all my toys were and i swear i saw a panther! i stared at it for a while frozen with shock. i thought that if i moved or even breathed it would attack me. fianlly in a quick movement most people would describe as ZAP! i grabbed my alarm clock and stuffed it under my covers. i laid still for a few more minutes, then i pulled back my covers fast, then laid still, i repeated this process untill i was where my switch to my light was. i flipped it on quickly then breathed a sigh of relief. it was just my toys in a shape of a panther. so im not sure if that’s supernatural but it’s another scary expirence i had.
Yuki says:
O_O How do you guys handle this kind of stuff so well? If anything paranormal happened to me, I’d.. like.. drop dead. I’m not even kidding. My blood runs cold when the air conditioning is on and a granola bar wrapper looks like it moved by itself.
I do know these two friends, and one of their houses is apparently very haunted, and they both say that the one who lives there can see ghosts, and the other one’s ears start ringing at the same time.. I know one house you couldn’t pay me to step foot in.. x.x
Crim says:
No problem William. 🙂 That is really creepy…. Sometimes I wonder if all of us just have really weird imaginations and then I think that there can’t be that many people who have experienced things…. I wonder why some “spirits” don’t make it to wherever they’re going… But then I wonder how many “spirits” there actually are in the world…
Crim says:
@ Yuki
Its funny. I’m get deathly scared in scary movies when the person goes looking for the ghost. I scream at them for being so stupid. But in real life its an entirely different experience. My first emotions when I saw things wasn’t fear- but shock and curiosity. Now when I look back at it I realize if it was a movie, I would have been screaming at myself to run. To this day, when ever I cross that same hall at night, I never EVER look down the stairs.
Sorry for the double post.
Darkness says:
that reminds me. when i’m bored i might stare at something for a while, and it depends on what it is, but if it’s the wall then sometimes i will see it move slightly or see something that looks like it’s inside the wall trying to get out. if it’s like a wrapper or chair or something, i might see it move an inch or more and it grows a face and screams at me. yelling for me to help it. so i can kind of relate to Marsh a little bit. just a little. nobody disappeared in my life and no one is trying to kill me.
I SEE THE LIGHT!! says:
my friend livd at a new hoouse and like at 10:30 flat, it sounded like a bowling ball falling and rolling, but it never stopped. then when it went on for like 3 min, somebody touched the knob and it stopped. the next day it happend again so they let it go for like 30 min and finally they touched the knob and it never happened again
I SEE THE LIGHT!! says:
oh and one time i ws in my room covered with like 3 blankets and really hot, but i didnt move. the night was one of those relly warm nights that happen after a fire near by.
then suddenly there was a cold chill that just went past all the blankets and i felt it all through out my body and my dog just had a seizure kinda thing wen he was sleeping on my legs after that happened. then i touched him nd he just stopped.
Darkness says:
@ I SEE THE LIGHT!!

Lead Traveler says:

Kiwi says:
I can’t believe how amazingly you take these creepy things… Do any of you have nightmares about your supernatural experiences?? If not, I have one thing to say: WOW.
I never had a supernatural encounter, but the stories you tell freak me out…I get chills thinking about supernatural experiences now.
Mikayla says:
just Jesus.
he is the best supernatural experience. 🙂
Edward Worton N.J. says:
@ kiwi
A lot of different things have happened to me. so when i see something or something happens, it startles me, like someone jumping from a door, but i’m kinda used to it so i just keep walking and ignore it. i dont know about everybody else.
Lead Traveler says:
kind of sounds like me. has anyone seen the Broadway Musical Wicked?
mary says:
yeah when i was 7 my room lit up with this amazing light and there was someone at the end of my bed . it did frighten me so i held the sheet up so i could only see thru it . i also had dreams that come true, my sisters kids , i saw them in a dream in a dream. to this day , things happen all the time .these are not halusinations either by the way. wherever i hav lived i hav experienced weird stuff .
Lgirl says:
When my mum was expecting my brother, she felt a presence, just as if somebody was sitting on her bed watching over her. She says that it was a really comforting thing!
Lgirl says:
Once my great grand mother walked into a room and all the paintings fell of the wall! when my great grandfather died, my great grandmother kept on seeing doors, cupboads and draws opening and closing! My grandmother was able to make her spirit come out from her body!! When I was little my father used to make put a little note in his hand, he would think very hard and close his hand and when he opened it again it would be empty! He’d tell me to look in my slipper that was in the cupboard, and guess what there was my little note! But the worse was when my great grandmother died! My brother wrote a letter to my grandparents saying he was sure grandma (that’s how we called her) was no a squirel having fun in the woods! And when she was buried, a squirel stayed for the entire ceremony! Thank goodness i haven’t inherited of these freeky gifts!
Lead Traveler says:
@mary
i know this is off topic but maybe you’re a demigod.
Lead Traveler says:
@Lgirl
first off, your dad had probably already put a note inside your slipper and then told you to watch him and when he thought really hard he was distratcing you to watch his face so he could stuff the note under his sleeve. and the squirrel was probably just curious of what you guys were doing there in its territory. and your brother just made up the thing about your grandmother being a squirrel.

second traveler says:
This happened to me a few nights ago so I was on this computer and i have this light and it started flickering on and off and it started to spin and fast then it stopped and ive seen this white thong fly by my room but im to scared to go investigate
N. says:
OK, I’ve been waiting to get Morpheus Road for almost two weeks now. Finally, I got it today. I read the first few pages and thought ‘I should write this on the website.’ So I am. From the description of Marsh, it kinda sounds like me. I worry. I don’t like to play sports. I think things through. I just had to comment. I know the book will be good but I just have to wait and see how good.
N. says:
Woops! I didn’t know this was for supernatural stuff. I had something happen to me before that was way weird. I was on my computer with all the lights out and it was like 6 o’clock at night and I was laughing at a video I was watching. I was the only one home so this freaked me out. When I was laughing I heard a quite ‘Shhh’. I looked around then booked it up the stairs not even exiting youtube and the video was still going. I was about to scream when my dad walked in from work. I ran to him and hugged him. Later when my mom and sisters came home I said four words ‘ This house is haunted.’. One of my sisters had something weird happen to her too. My sister, me, her ‘friend’ ( Don’t know if he’s a friend or something more because they went to Prom together.) Went to Starbucks or City Brew to get steemers for our families who were having a garage sale. It went fine. When my mom, dad, older sister and I got home, my other older sister came running to us. Apparently, she heard someone say her name. Doors do open and close sometimes but I think it’s just my cats. They like to stay low and both are black.
Angel07 says:
@second traveler:
hahaha u have white thongs flying by ur doorway at night? ive heard of haunted but thats just wrong… lol i’m sure u meant to say “things” but i didnt and i thought i’d give u a good-natured hard time about it =D lol
N. says:
@Lead Traveler
I have those dreams, too. Just yesterday I saw what was happening at school in a dream. I would highly doubt there are “Demigods” anyway. Because If there were, some evil little monster would eat her up. Then I would end up like bad. :>. Evil maybe.
second traveler says:
EEK i just got it yesterday the light i finish it today it was so good EEK EEK EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
