My family used to live in a very old apartment. One evening, I saw a white figure pass by my bedroom door. I thought it was my mom, but when I called out, there was no answer. I went to check, and no one was there. It happened a few more times, and it always made me feel uneasy.
One time, I visited an old, abandoned asylum. As I walked through the dark corridors, I could swear I saw a figure out of the corner of my eye. It was like a shadowy shape that disappeared when I turned to look directly at it. I also heard what sounded like moaning coming from one of the rooms. I quickly left the place, and I still get chills thinking about it.
I had a terrifying experience in a cemetery. I was walking through it late at night (not the smartest thing to do, I know). Suddenly, I felt like I was being watched. I turned around and saw a figure in white, but when I blinked, it was gone. It gave me chills for days.
Well, usually there would be a specific platform or website for submitting. Look for a 'Submit' button or a link that says something like 'Share Your Ghost Story'. It might ask you to create an account first, fill in some basic information like your name (could be a pen name), and then there should be a text box where you can type out your spooky tale.
I used to live in an old apartment. One night, I woke up to see a shadowy figure at the foot of my bed. It was just standing there. I blinked a few times thinking it was my imagination, but it didn't go away. I was too terrified to move. After what seemed like an eternity, it slowly faded away.
Well, in my real life ghost story, I was staying at an old hotel. As I lay in bed at night, I saw a shadowy figure pass by the window. I froze in fear. I thought it might be my imagination at first. But then I heard a faint whispering sound. I quickly turned on the light and found nothing. Later, I learned that the hotel had a history of strange occurrences. Maybe it was just a prank by someone, but it still gives me chills to think about it.
Well, it's really hard to know for sure. Sometimes there are physical signs that could indicate something strange. For instance, if there are unexplained scratches on walls or objects moving on their own without any natural cause. But then again, some people might be making things up or misinterpreting normal events. So, it's a combination of looking for consistency in the stories, any evidence that can't be easily explained away, and the credibility of the people telling the story. A lot of times, though, it's just a matter of belief.
You can usually find the official website related to 'Oprah Live Your Best Life'. There should be a clear section or link on it for story submissions. Just follow the instructions provided, which may include filling out a form with details about your story, like the main theme, your personal experience related to living your best life, and your contact information.
In my opinion, it's hard to say all are real ghost stories. There are many fictional elements often added to make them more exciting. However, there are those who claim to have had real encounters and base their stories on that, but it's difficult to prove objectively.
You can try to submit it to some horror or fiction magazines like 'Fangoria' or 'Weird Tales' if they accept submissions. Also, there are many online platforms such as Wattpad, where a large community of readers and writers gather, and you might find an audience for your short ghost story there.
