Ghost Stories - I Want To Hear Your Best!

My daughter has a pub which dates back to 1488.
We often have stuff clanking or banging about in the night and stools and tables moving.
The other strange thing that happens is that people have coins thrown at their heads even when they are the only people in the room. There is an ancient cast iron poor box fastened to the fire place so we put all the thrown coins into it.

We’ve also seen ghostly apparitions and had the dogs go absolutely mental when the temperature drops and they bark like crazy at things we cannot see.

When I was 18 I made a really bad decision and climbed into my 1967 Mustang to drive to my apartment even though I had been drinking. I was about 30 miles from my apartment and I was upset. I made it about 20 miles when things went way wrong....I swerved into the opposite lane and then into the opposite ditch, the car went airborne, front tires hit the railroad tracks there and the car flipped end over....I don't remember alot of other details but I do remember feeling pressure on my chest (i never wore my seatbelt back then) and looking over at the passenger seat and seeing my grandpa sitting there, my grandpa died when I was 3 years old, I asked him " what are you doing here?".... I don't think he answered but i credit his presence for my survival that night.

Could all of this been a hallucination? Sure, but i dont believe it was and it was a wake up call for me to clean up my act.

Not so spooky but my husband died of an od and i was doing a walk with a group for sobriety a few months later and suddenly "our" song started playing on my phone. I didn't touch my phone. It played on iheart. And it isn't a band that i generally listen to. And then it stopped after the song was over.

I have no clue if what I saw was a ghost or not. At the time, I decided to keep my experience to both myself and my family. It was only months later when I spoke with neighbors, at a party, about my encounter. I got some interesting feedback from neighbors about their experiences while living at our apartment complex. Here are both mine, and their stories.

The guy hosting the party had lived at that complex for several years. According to his research, it was built in the 1940's and was the housing units for the staff of a nearby (long ago demolished) hotel. Both he and his partner lived in an adjacent single story unit where they had a one bedroom bungalow. On more than one occasion, both of them swore they heard the sound of human feet walking on their roof. Pacing back and forth. At other times, they heard a loud bang and thundering noise of what they described like a "large wooden wine barrel being rolled across the ceiling". It would disappear after several minutes. This apparently only happened late in the evening.

Then the young couple ,who lived on the second floor of a seperate building, spoke up about how they could hear someone walking down their corridor only to see no one. The floors were made of wood so you could always hear someone coming from a distance. Again, this only occured very late at night. They even opened their door once to look and saw nothing. There was only one way down that hall, with only four units to one side. The other side was nothing but an open air banister.

My story was the creepiest. It occured late at night, in August 2008. It was around 11pm when I decided to take a shower before my husband came home from his shift. Our (ground floor) bathroom had a small frosted glass window that could be opened for ventilation. Please note that this window was at least six feet up from the floor. While in the shower I had the feeling someone was looking at me. I pulled back the shower curtain and saw the outline of a head an inch away from the glass window looking in on me. It had pale white skin with very dark/black lips and dark shadows for eyes. It looked very slender and youthful. It slowly leaned away from the window once it realized I noticed it. I called out my husband's name because I thought it was him. Thinking he got home early, I jumped out of the shower and threw on some clothes. I opened the front door and saw there was nothing. His motorcycle wasn't parked in his space and he was nowhere to be seen. My husband came home an hour later. I told him about it and he wasn't too happy. That thing had to be over six feet tall to glare into that tiny window. Was it a ghost? A passing weirdo? I dunno, but at least I was able to share this with people and face the reality that something did happen their in that old apartment complex.

I used to work in a haunted funeral home....
This is copy/pasted from my post over at faygoluvers b/c I'm lazy.

Here's my pic and story:

This was back when I was working in a funeral home (side note: funeral directors are cool *kitten* folks, one of the guys became my best friend). anytitties, the pic is of the office I was working in at the time. The guy on the computer is one of the funeral directors (Kevin), the one taking the picture of my beautiful *kitten* (illuminattied in green btw) is my homie Dan. He had just gotten a digital camera and this was back in the 00s, like 05 I wanna say...and this was his first camera so he was dickin around with it. So this is one of the pictures he took. I circled what I think looks like a misty arm coming out of the wall. The thing is, on the other side of that wall is the embalming room...and that's the wall bodies would be put up against when they were worked on. I also think that funeral home was haunted....just based off of experience from working there.

Why did autocorrect go to anytitties or is that a thing?

I was never close with my paternal grandfather, we butted heads quite frequently. A couple nights after he died, I was trying to go to sleep, being emo and thinking how we never were able to have a relationship that was positive. I always sleep with one foot out from under the covers, and that night I felt a very strong pull on my big toe. I stopped crying immediately and just laid there in the dark waiting to see if something else would happen, but nothing did. When I was a kid and we visited grandma and grandpa, my sister and I would sleep on the pullout couch in the living room. When he thought I was sleeping in too late, grandpa would pull my toes to wake me up. Never knew what to make of it, maybe it was a dream.

Almost Halloween, any stories???

I have three stories that happened at my grandmas house.

Maybe I caught a couple whiffs of my older cousins ganja somehow or it was an actual spirit, but when I was younger no more then 10 years old I saw a figure holding a coffee cup going up and down the stairs. For some reason I could see the coffee cup really clearly and the heat coming out of it.

Also, my mom said that she felt something feel her stomach while she was pregnant with me. Like a finger going up and down her stomach lightly. It was probably my hand.

And my dad said he saw a woman watching him take a shower, in the basement. Apparently he ran out the shower in a towel.

The house was old and creepy so we were just creeping ourselves out. My cousins have some stories about that house too but I think they were just on that good good. I feel like if we really believed what we saw we’d be forever shook for life and never return to the house. But we been there many times after so ..

I think we all just had a whiff of something.

Well, my kids insist that the ghost of a small boy lives in my closet, and they call him "Dark Anthony". "Dark" because he looks like a shadow, and "Anthony" because they say he told them that's his name. Although my son once told me he's not scared of Dark Anthony because he's not really a ghost. Ghosts are the spirits of dead people, but Dark Anthony was always a spirit and never a living person, so he's technically not a ghost. I do not know where my kids got this information.

The only supposed encounter I've had with Dark Anthony is one time I was in the kitchen, cooking at the stove. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a small boy come up to me from behind and felt him grab onto my pant leg and tug on it a few times. I thought it was my son, but when I turned around, nobody was there.

Since this thread has been bumped, I'll update my story. About a month ago, my wife started occasionally burning sage in a little bowl (I think she saw some Youtuber saying it had some sort of benefit or something). Shortly after she started, my kids informed me that Dark Anthony left because he didn't like the smell, and they haven't seen him since.

I did some Googling and found that burning sage is traditionally used to clear places of ghosts and negative energy.

Bumping this thread because Dark Anthony is back! My wife saw him in the kitchen a few days ago, and my daughter heard him typing on the computer in our study (it has a rather loud mechanical gaming keyboard) yesterday.

I'm kind of glad he's back, I felt a little bad about driving him away. I imagined a little ghost boy somewhere out there in the world, all alone and scared and with no place to go, and now he's home.
