Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever had something happen to you that you just can't explain? Let's hear your ghost story! Ive had a couple but there are 2 that i will NeVeR forget....

i was at a friends house about 13 years ago. There were about 6 of us there and we were all in the living room. Our friend told us his house was haunted and we all laughed like, yea right buddy... He told us to watch around the living room walls and he had bet us that we would see something. Not very long had passed when we were just sitting there chatting and all of us stopped as 2 shadows passed down along the main wall and thru the next. POOF! gone. As young teenagers we all gasped and started cursing while throwing our hands up in disbelief. We were like, " wtf was that?! how did you do that?!...you have to have something hooked up to cast shadows!" its one thing i saw with my own eyes...and i still try to figure it out 13 years later. YOUR TURN. MU waaah ah ahhhh....

    I do not believe inGhosts per say, but I do believe in demons. I believe the battle between heaven and hell is very real.

    When I was younger living at my parents house...maybe 17...I was a naughty little girl dabbling in all kinds of things. Anyways, one night I was sleeping and half awoke from a scary dream...in my dream ( or awake i am unsure ) I was trying to wake up and get out of bed, however, I could not get up. It was like something was holding me down. I couldn't even lift my arms. Then I felt hands on my throat, all this time I was trying to ake up out of the dream , but I couldnt. Finally, I shot up and saw my dad standing in my door way. "DAD! OMG i was having the worse dream!" I blinked and he was gone. I ran down stairs and asked my mom where dad was. He was at the neighbors bonfire.

    creeeeppyyy.

    When I was teenager, I went to bed (I admit I was a little high on pot) and I woke up hearing a bunch of voices all around me...it sounded like I was in a room full of people talking. All of the sudden, the voices stopped and I opened my eyes and saw a man sitting on the foot of my bed just staring at me. His face was pinched up and distorted like in those funny pictures you can take with web cams. After a good 10 seconds of staring at me, he smiled and disappeared! I don't believe in ghosts, but I do believe in demons imitating ghosts. I was into a lot of drugs, and also interested in witch craft at that point in my life. That stuff can invite demonic forces into your home and life.

    I also have another weird experience...my mom had a dream one night that I tripped and fell into a deep fryer at my old job and burned my face off. I brushed it off and told her she was crazy. But I was still cautious. A couple weeks later I was bringing a bowl of potatoes the kitchen to put it by fridge. When I walked my the fryer, I slipped on some oil on the floor and came inches away from my face landing in the deep fryer!! From then on I always heed my mothers warnings!

    True story- Ever since i moved into my apartment i saw things in the corner of my eye and one time i saw a shadow. I told my husband and he didnt believe me. So 3 days ago he had to be at work at 5 am and he woke up got ready and as he walked out the door to lock the door he turn to look to the right and saw a woman wearing a long white dress and she started to move her hands so he can follow her. He then looked at our door and turn to see if he was imagining it and she was gone. He walked to the car and he said that when he was getting into the car he saw her again on the corner of our apartment. When he came home later he told me about it and I must say it creeped me out because he doesnt believe in ghost and for him to see that it got me uneasy. I know he wasnt lying about it. but I'm just glad it wasn't me because i dont know what i would of done.

    Here's another story:
    When I was a little girl, my mom told me a story of what happened to her after we moved into a new house. She went into the bathroom while her and my dad were bringing in boxes (us kids were at school at the time). While she was washing her hands, she looked into the mirror and noticed the shower curtain moving. She turned around and the shower curtain starting twisting and it turned itself into a noose, then she heard a voice say to her "Just kill yourself..." She (being a very religious woman) rebuked it, and stopped the moving in process until she anointed the whole house :)
  • LOVE this topic buddy!! I'm suprised you don't have some scary story from Jeff and Becky's house - isn't it haunted? Remeber our van trip and how you had me freaked out by someone being in the back? LOL

    this is another one that freaks me out. i constantly have "dreams" in which i visit and talk with family members that have passed so i believe in things such as astral traveling and all that. im very open when it comes to the supernatural. anywho, we had just lost a very important man in our family that we all loved very much. my husband was away in afghanistan and i was home alone dealing with all the pain. i was actually in my bathroom going pee (tmi;) and was just kind of resting my elbows on my knees and had my head down in my hands when i heard a very loud "hey!" in my left ear and my bangs blew backwards, i swiped my hair by my ear like a natural reaction to a bug flying into your hair or something and there was nothing. my heart was racing and i called my friend chandra to come over as i sat on the couch away from the bathroom til she got there. i was in tears and no matter how distressed and hurting i was i know i didnt imagine BOTh those things happeneing in a second.

    I'm open to reviewing any definitive proof. Scientists can seperate out strands of DNA that are invisible to the naked eye and require extreem magnification. They can find sun spots millions of miles away. How come they have never come up with evidence that could withstand scrutiny?

    Got a Hundred Dollar bill in my pocket for anyone that can provide definitive proof. Something besides "a funny feeling that I was being watched" or "saw an ephemeral figure in my peripheral vision."

    Sorry, just can't believe -- no matter how cute you are.

    what about ghost hunting devices? the emf, k2 meters, digital voice recorders that capture evp's, and special devices that carry a vocabulary in them that energy can manipulate and it will speak words...words that make sense in a conversation or questions being asked? explain these things when science cant and i will disbelieve. as children we were more liable to believe or "see things" because we werent taught to forget it yet. the older we get the more we try to pass things off.

    Science can't prove a negative.

    As children, we believed in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy the Boogie Man.

    I believe you believe, so I am going to set aside this Hundred Dollars and await your definitive proof. Send Casper over and I'll give the money to him to deliver to you.

    Take care.

    YES we believed in the easter bunny and so forth...i also believe in God but dont have any definite proof that he exists. science cant prove a lot of things. right down to why we dream of places we have never been but could paint a clear picture of it. science cant cure cancer...yet...but boy are they trying. or what about dejavu? we all have had it...but why? i dont know...but it happens and no one can explain it. i KNOW ive had MY proof. anywho, this is a post FOR stories...i dont want to battle it out with my new found friend ;)

    I do believe in ghosts.

    One day I was hanging out with my best friend and we were talking about the dead. Suddenly out of no where, I smelled something that came from his general direction and it reeked like something dead. So we moved to get away from it. A few minutes later, I smelled it again coming from his general area. I had no idea where this was coming from since it was silent but smelled and felt deadly, and it seemed to be following him. Any clues as to why this was happening?

    My friend was babysitting in hampton va and she asked me to come over, now this is a populated city but this house was really in what seemed like the boonies. It was an old farm house that had apparently been redone and was used as a hospital during the civil war yada yada. She said it was haunted (after I came in....skank haha) The kids were upstairs in bed, she said they knew it was haunted but they grew up with it so they weren't scared. We are sitting there minding our own business and the dang doorbell rings, she goes to open the door, I told her not to of course their was no one their, I kept feeling cold breezes, it was winter, and there were no places for breezes to come from.......and then there was the cat.......that just sat there and stared at the same spot in the recliner like something was sitting there...........freaky.
  • I feel sorry for those who do not believe. I have had so many experiences. None were ever evil, Thank God.

    I was about 15 and I was home alone. I was sitting on my bed not really thinking about anything. I was just kind of dazing in and out of sleep I suppose. (I was completely sober for the record!) Out of nowhere it literally felt like someone had grabbed my arm. It wasn't a friendly grab either and I felt every single finger tip dig into my arm. I felt the palm of the hand and heat too that would come from ones hand. I jumped back and immediately grabbed for my phone. I called my mom sobbing asking her to come home. I've never been able to explain what that was, but my ex-step dad said in that same house in the back bedroom, he used to feel these cold spots and often felt like a woman was watching him. He said he often times felt the presence of her. Weird.

    I personally have never experienced seeing a ghost but my daughter always has had different encounters per say.

    I can recall her being as small as two years old and she would follow with her eyes different things around the room and point at them. None of us could ever figure out what she was pointing or smiling at and it continued on for many years of her young childhood.

    When she became a teen, she always has dreams about talking to people in our family that have passed away. She explains them in such great vivid detail you get goosebumps on your arms and tells us what they have said in words that you can't even imagine where she would have gotten them from.

    When her and I are travelling in the car together at night, we are always putting out at least three or four streetlights. Some people say its fluke but it never happens unless we are together!

    I have had a few experiences that make me believe there is something out there.

    1st one was when we lived England. Our house was really old and had these secret passageways between the rooms. It was creepy in itself. I always felt like I was never alone and became a clingy kid when we lived there. I never wanted to be left alone. (which was not like me at all, I was the independent kid) So we ended up moving out of that house and our new house felt "normal" but one night I had this strange dream and woke up and there was this man standing at the foot of my bed looking out the window. I gasped and he turned and looked at me then turned around and started to walk away, he took a few steps and faded away. I screamed and my mom came in. I told her I had seen "Mr. so and so" standing at the foot of my bed. I associated this guy with a family friend because they both had a mustache. :laugh: So mom thought I was just crazy.

    2nd was at my grandparents house, most of my relatives have had some sort of experience there. (mind you, my Dad never talked about it until we were much older) The bedroom my brother and I had to stay in was on the other side of the attic area. It was all the attic at one time but my grandparents converted part of it to bedrooms to accomodate their 10 kids. :noway: ) Anyhow, the bedroom we stayed in was on the other side of the attic and there was a bed right up against the attic door. One night my brother and I were asleep and my parents heard drawers slamming shut and the window opening and slamming shut the TV turning on and off. They came in to tell us to knock it off and we were sound asleep.

    The stair case leading upstairs has a door at the bottom. One day we were sitting in the living room and heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Everyone that was home was downstairs. The footsteps stopped at the door then went back upstairs. My Dad went up there and no one was upstairs. :indifferent:

    The most recent encounter happened a few months ago. My fiances father passed away last year just a few months after our daughter was born. We kept her in our room for her first six months. When I finally moved her into her own room I would get the feeling that someone was in her room when I would go in there. Some times it would be cold (even in the Texas heat) One day when I went to check on her while she was sleeping I had that someone else in the room feeling so I said outloud "She's alright, I know you are just checking on her but you need to go, you don't belong here"

    I have never had that feeling again and her room has not had any other temperature issues.

    I haven't ever told my fiance about it because if it was his dad checking on his grand daughter, I feel guilty for asking him to leave. :frown:

    I've heard loud distinct footsteps in my house I grew up in about 10 years ago. There was no one home of course but I was so convinced I had to look and yes I was home alone.

    Another note, every since I was younger, I have always been very sensetive to the other side, or the demon world if you will.

    Many times when I was little I would wake up in the middle of the night and play with children in my room - They were black figures/shadows. They would be playing around my dresser then I would wake up, see them, play, go to the bathroom and when I would be back in my room they would be gone.

    I also get a 6th sense for people who seem to almost be posessed - not like the exorcist, but almost soulless. Its hard to explain.

    Oh I just remembered another one.

    When my great grandfather past away, I stayed at his house with my cousin and my Granny. The night of his funeral we were going through old pictures and just telling stories and remembering Gran. We kept hearing something banging around on the front porch so we would go check it out and there would never be anything out there or anything that could account for then noise. We could hear the noises as we approached the porch area but they would always stop as soon as we opened the door. After several times of this happening we just sat down on the porch swing that my Gran always sat at (he would sit out there all day long and when you would go visit, that is where you did your "visiting") So we sat on the swing and talked and laughed and cried and remembered Gran. There weren't any other noises the rest of the night. It was almost like he wanted us to go out there and to let us know that he was ok.


    A little interesting tid bit on the power of people's will. My Gran was very proud and stayed in the house after my Granna passed away. Some family members kept trying to talk him into moving into a nursing home and he always refused. One day he fell down and hurt his hip so they took that time to make the move. He was in the nursing home for a few months and his hip had completely healed up. He was 94 years old and didn't even break his hip despite the fall! Anyhow, he came down with a cold but the doctors said he would be fine and he was in great health and there was no reason for concern.

    My great Uncle went to visit him and my Gran asked to go home. My uncle said "this is your home now, you can't go back" So my Gran said 'then I am going to go and be with Elsie" (my Granna) The next day he passed away and the doctors could give no real good reason on why he passed. We knew though, he didn't want to live in a home and would much rather go on and be with my Granna. :smile:
