    The duplex I live in has a ghost cat...seriously. One nite on the verge of falling asleep I felt something pulling the covers trying to climb up on the bed. Needless to say I freaked out jumped out of bed & turned on the light....nothing there. The next time I just laid in the bed & could feel little paws stepping on the comforter beside my leg, when I turned on the flashlight ( I was prepared this time) once again nothing. So apparently it's a sweet ghost kitty & since I'm allergic to live cats it's the perfect pet. LOL

    We also joke about a ghost cat in our apartment. We've both felt not just cover movement but actual paw pads on us when we're in bed only to look up and discover both our cats asleep across the room. The real clincher though, was when my Cousin brought her three year old over. He insisted there were three cats in the apartment - an orange one (ours), a black one (ours)... and a 'lellow one'.

    My shop is in a Victorian building with 4 floors and a basement. There are lots of odd noises as all old buildings have. One day I was in the shop with the door open, I was behind the counter going through new stock lists, I looked up and saw a little old lady wearing a raincoat walking alone the aisle, I left it a moment and went to ask if she needed any help.

    There was no one there.

    When the shop was built in 1898, the top floor was an apartment, the little girl of the family lived there all her life and died as an old lady in the apartment.

    Do you think it could have been her?

    All right, I have a story from my cousin.

    She used to live in a basement suite. She says at night a little girl would come into her room and sit on the end of her bed. The little girl was scared of the 'bad man' outside. Of course my cousin never SAW the little girl. She says she could just 'feel' her. Like, her physical weight on the bed.

    As for the bad man. Well, he would hang out in the basement rec room. My cousin never saw him but her sister did and it scared the poor girl out of her mind.

    AND I have a fortune telling story?

    My family and I had to stay at this hotel once. We, every last one of us, had bizarre 'visions'. While my mother was resting in the room she had a 'waking vision' of a young man. She swears he whispered to her and told her that he had been killed in the room and he warned her that we were next. While I was in the kitchenette area (separated from the bedroom area and not knowing what was happening with her) I had a vision of someone being shot and dying by the coffee table (it was the weirdest, most vivid 'daydream' I've had in my LIFE), my sister didn't have a vision but she felt like her life was threatened and my little niece, who was in the kitchenette area with us because she wouldn't stay in the bedroom, kept talking about the 'dark door'. She couldn't sleep because the dark door was scaring her. She kept asking us to take Granny out of the bedroom because of the 'dark door'. Well, none of us could sleep but we all pretended it was just because we were excited about the wedding we'd just been to.

    Eventually we all decided to leave because my mother was sick and we wanted to take her to the hospital. On the way out we discovered bullet holes in one of the walls and a blood stain on the carpet by the coffee table (weird how we didn't notice this earlier!) AFTER leaving we started talking and realized we had all had these weird experiences. Of course we didn't know what to make of it. My mother won't talk about the whole thing anymore. She just refuses to. The night it happened she kept hinting that the 'man' had told her more but she refused to tell us what. She just kept saying it was too horrible to repeat.

    I don't know if it means anything but it was really bizarre that we all felt like we were in mortal danger and all had these weird, intense visions of death. I haven't experienced anything like that before or since! I have too many bizarre experiences. Maybe crazy runs in my family?

    My theory? My mother's vision of the young man and the things he said to her was inspired by how sick she was - a kind of waking dream, if you will. My weird little vision was just a response to stress and my niece ... well, I dunno. Maybe she just doesn't like the dark? HAHA!

    BUT best part? As soon as we were on the road and away from that place, my mother's sickness was gone. Just POOF. Gone. She was fine. That part kind of weirded everyone out.

    A little more than a year after my grandpa had passed, I was back at their place for a visit. My grandpa was a carpenter and had a workshop in the garage. I went out just to sit in his old stool. Smell the smells, close my eyes and remember him in that context. After awhile I decided to go back inside and as I opened the door I said aloud, "I love you grandpa. Miss you". In that moment I heard him say "Hi sweetheart". The hair on my neck stood up and I swung around to see him but of course, nothing there. I'd love to have that happen again but it never has. That was almost 8 years ago.

    Oh my gosh, THAT gave me the goose bumps all over my body.

    I'm eagerly waiting for something to convince me ghosts exist, because I fully intend to spend any afterlife I get haunting the hell out of certain people, but alas, so far no luck.

    My first college room mate and I didn't really get along well while we were living together. One night I crawled into my top bunk, as she was turning out the light. As she was crawling into her own bed, I felt a blast of cold air. I was mad bc I was already cold, and the air didn't need to be on, and let her know. She swore up and down that she didn't turn the air on. I told her I felt really cold air on my face, so she didn't need to lie to me, I knew it was on, but she just told me I was creeping her out, bc she really didn't turn it on. Not 2 seconds after she said that, the fire alarms went off. We found out when we got outside that someone on another floor had their microwave catch fire. About 2 weeks after that, I found out that the University is supposedly haunted by a former Dean, who died in a fire in one of the Halls.

    I used to work in St Paul's Cathedral in Dundee (Scotland), the church itself is only 200 years old or thereabouts. However there was a castle on the site dating back to about 640AD. There is an area in the basement of the cathedral called the vestry where we keep all the robes and stuff. One morning (about 7:30 and it was still dark) where I heard a load of crashing around in the vestry, to the extent I thought we were being robbed. I ran downstairs shouting with a candlestick and there was nothing! Not a person, nothing moved, nothing broken.

    This wasn't the only thing, I was talking to my mum and she saw a figure move from the pulpit towards us and disappear about 10 feet from us. And on another occasion, the organ played itself. I don't mean a little toot, I mean full on music.

    And I won't even go into the footsteps that you could hear going about.

    Weird old place...

    This one is from yesterday. I was sitting at the work computer, and felt someone put their hand on my head.... Then, whoever it was (I was completely alone in an isolated room) started flicking and tugging my hair. I'm a fill in at this job, the lady who had this job for 20+ years passed away on Tuesday, the girls told me she'd always joked that she'd come back and haunt the place.

    I think I *may* have one! The other morning I was getting my son ready for school and I got a place mat out for him to eat on and placed it on the table. I went to get his juice and came back and there was one of the cat's toy mice sitting right on it. Both cats were just sitting there quietly not playing or anything. I found that very strange!

    I took care of my mother for the 6 months before she died 24/7. about a month before she died, she told me that she was going to tell me something and i might think she was nuts. i asked her what, and she said there had been a man in her room for the last couple days. my first question was.. does he scare you? she said "no", he brings me comfort. i told her that i didnt think she was nuts, and im glad she was getting comfort from him.
    6 days before my mom passed, her mom passed. i of course didnt tell her.. she was dying, bedridden and it would have served no good purpose. anyhow, the night before my mom passed, she was staring off into the corner of the room, her eyes lit up, and she said "mom? Mama" and was so happy.. i knew then that mom would go soon cause her mom came to get her.. mom passed the next morning at 8:22.

    there are loads more.... will have to come back to post em later;)

    I never believed until about 10 years ago.. we lived in an old victorian house that had been made into a duplex.. first when we moved in I was in the basement mopping just with dishsoap (kids have allerrgies) and the floor started smoking in one area...I didnt think to much about it... but then we started hearing foorstepsteps the foyer... it had this huge grand stairway to it and you could hear sounded like heels or boots going up and down... my cat would go crazy.. I thought oh its an old house just odd noises... I started dating this guy who truly believed in it and he started staying over and well lets say the house came to life... my daughter started talking to a *friend and her grandma*... I thought imaginary friend shes 5 ok.. thats fine... my boyfrind at the time told me he felt things.. some good some bad... he went to the basement to get clothes out and bring them up and all of a sudden he ran up the steps his face white his forehead sweaty and said did you hear that>?? I said wwhat?? he said someone told hm to GET OUT ....
    again I dismissed it ...I thought you are crazy... well my daughter started talking more and more to herself and she kept telling me stories that the little girl would tell her not to go to the basement... and that her and her grandma had to hide.. at this point I was getting worried... I started looking for other places to live... then things started to get ugly we would hear clawing noises going up the other steps.. scratching on the walls... this is what got me though... my daughter was coming down the steps and she tripped head first... I was at the bottom of the steps and no way I could get to her.. well as she started to topple over she sprang up and back landing on her bottom.. I was in shock.. I thought Im going insame what the helll........ I ran to her and I said katie what just happened???? she said mommy my friend saved me... then she said her neck hurt .. I pulled back her top and she had scratches on her back at her collar..... we left that house and was done... but I think her friend has stayed with us.. till this day we have seen things but nothing bad..... it has truly opened my eyes... and I am a believer......

    I did some research and there was a family in the early 1900's that the little girl and her grandma and baby brother went missing... no one ever found them.. the mother said she woke up up and they were gone... so hmmmmmm

    This just scared the *kitten* outta me!

    I have 3 weird stories!

    The first one, my old babysitter who had passed away more than 10 years before had come to me in a dream and told me it was time for her to take her husband home. I was sad in the dream but I told her that I understood and I was glad that she looked so peaceful. About a month later her husband passed away. There was something comforting about knowing he went to be with her.

    The second time, my father who had passed away a couple of months earlier appeared in my dream. He was working with some tools and I went to help him handing him what he needed. In the dream he was telling me that my mother would remarry and I should be supportive because she needs someone. It was like he was dead in the dream because we were discussing this, but it was also like he wasn't because he was there and I was helping him. My mother did remarry later.

    The third time was not a dream. I went home from college to a condo that my mom had moved into while I was gone. I had just dropped my grandma off at church and come home but I tried the light switch and it wouldn't work so I went upstairs to hit the other switch and it still wouldn't work. Then I went in her bedroom and tried that light switch and it wouldn't work and right after I tried it something warm and soft brushed up against me and said "lightbulb?", I turned and saw a figure standing near me. I bolted out of there and didn't come back home until after my grandma had finished at church. I let her go in the house first (because I am so brave) and all the lights were fine. I have felt someone around in that condo at other times when I was laying in bed but I would just hide under the covers. I had a feeling it was a lady and very kind but that's just creepy. So glad my mother moved from there.
    That was scary, but kind of funny too lol

    I haven't had any experiences but my sisters and parents have. My parents live in an old farm house and at first it was just odd noises (like footsteps and swishy skirts) and smells (like bread and beef stew--we had gone out to eat that evening so no cooking was done) and icy drafts of air coming down the stairs in the summertime (we didn't have a.c.). Eventually, things started being moved and/or disappearing. My mom was in school at the time and working on a rat-trap car. She was missing the trap and my parents couldn't find it anywhere. It ended up being on top of one furnace pipes in the back corner of the basement.

    Both of my sisters have seen something. My one sister used to have problems sleeping because "the white things with red eyes wouldn't stop looking at her" and "the lady in black is standing next to my bed." My other sister saw a female shadow on the window shade in my parents' bedroom. It was bent over doing something, stood up and turned like it was facing my sister, and then disappeared. Another time, she was being a **** and my dad yelled at her. She didn't stop whatever it was she was doing, and something flicked her in the head.

    It's been quiet there recently, but my parents said things are starting to disappear again and they've been hearing voices. Not sure if they're starting to lose it or what.
