Do you believe in ghosts/spirits? Share your experiences!!

OK. Explain this:

My mom's best friend lives in a very, very old house. It was a stop on the Underground Railroad. When they bought it, they converted the attic into their bedroom, so they sleep on the third floor. On the first floor just off the kitchen is a small half bathroom. One night, they woke up freezing because all their sheets and blankets had been stripped off of them and they saw the blankets and sheets were in a line stretching toward the bedroom door and down the stairs. The trail led all the way down to the first floor and into the half bath where they'd left a candle burning and it was thisclose to catching the curtain on fire.

I'd say that's more than a strange noise or "something out of the corner of the eye." But keep up the condescension. You are smarter and better than the rest of us, for sure.

This is an awesome story!

It really, is. When my parents were splitting up, my mom and I stayed in that house for a few months and there was definitely something there. The house I lived in from 10-17 (built in 1874) had spirits, too.

Like I said, I have a few stories and most of them cannot be explained away as wind or a settling foundation. They're far more tangible.

Honestly, I don't feel the need to prove anything to anyone who doesn't believe, though. That's their business. They will one day find out the truth. They just won't have an easy time letting others know they know.

I think its safe to say there is no such thing as ghosts.

With out getting overly defensive... can you prove it?

The burden of proof is on the one making the claim that they exist.

I hope you meet a spirit one day.
So that you can **** yourself too.

As for the ghost hunting shows, I just want to know why these guys think it's appropriate to call a woman who is 100 years older than them AND was tortured to death by her first name. Some manners, ghost hunter people!

Huh?! What should a woman like this be called?

Yes and i have had 5 experiences...

i'm naturally sensitive to it all.. always have been always will be but most times it's family who visit

my first visit was when i was a baby don't ask me how i remember this but i do.. my great uncle billy passed as i was still a young baby.. i dreamt he was trying to carry me up to heaven..

second.. my nana passed when i was 9.. she died in hospital alone and on a ward with strangers.. and it scared the hell out of me.. she came to me that night in a dream and told me she was okay.. that she was well and that grandaddy would soon be joining her..
two nights later they both come to say good bye...

now they just stop by with lingering tobacco smoke.. no one in this house.. or the house next door smokes.. the doors are shut and there's no real vents in my room for the smell to float in. i've had many experiences .. but i find peace in each and everyone of them.

i was 9 when i first lost a loved one that i was old enough to remember.. that my nana few weeks later it was my grandpa.. then at 11 my great uncle jack passed, we then had the tragic 9/11 it was the 2nd or 3rd anniversary of 9/11 when we returned to school to find my best guy pal/also my crush had been sadly killed.. i was 13/14 then at 19 my great nana passed from cancer she kept staring at the ceiling and i reckon my great grand-daddy was sitting in the corner waiting for her then sadly my other great uncle lost his life in a accident.

bump

i definitely believe in ghost and spirits....my son who is now 13 still to this day will not go into our master bath when he was about 5 he saw a young girl with long dark hair in there. at night you can hear little kids laughing then heavy footsteps and then running through the house. the activity has gotten worse since we have started remodeling we are taking pictures as we go and our guest bath pictures are full of orbs in one picture and then none in the next. we also can hear an old radio broadcast then a woman screaming and then all you smell is cigarette smoke in the house and no one smokes in our family....yeah just a few to name but our house is a very active place when it comes to ghost and spirits

I wouldn't like to hazard a guess at how it works, but I believe that there is something.

There have been things happen to me and people I know, some of which I can think of explanations, some where I can think of explanations that are a little out of the ordinary but not impossible, then there are some that I cannot possibly explain.

Eg, in my house both I and another person who has been there have had a door bounce off of nothing as we were opening it. I can't give 100% story on what happened to her as I was downstairs at the time, but I know when it happened to me I was coming in through the front door, it opened around half way and hit something...hard...as if I had opened it right into a wall or something and it bounced back at me. Obviously behind the door was clear, and it wasn't the door jamming or anything - it actually hit something and bounced back. Only happened that time and as I was swinging it open and closed to see what it was, it swung freely.

With the friend it happened to, she was in the bathroom and experienced the same thing. Now you have to go up a step to the bathroom so there is no way there was something behind the door. When I went up to investigate I noticed my cat was sat staring past us at the door growling really loudly. I picked him up and he was very edgy and bolted for the door to be let out.

I have no explanation for those things.

There are other things that have happened including a couple of times where there has been a smell but only in a very particular place where I could move above, below and all around a small football sized area and not smell it at all which was strange, but I wouldn't put that down strictly as paranormal, that can be explained away.

I know when my grandma died, and her 7 daughters were at her house tidying, one of my aunties was stood in the hall and said out loud "mum if you're ok just let me know" and immediately the light above her popped. Again, explainable as coincidence.

At the same time they had a break for some tea and a chat, after around 10 or 15 minutes the vacuum cleaner turned itself on - as if my grandma was telling them they had enough of a break now and it was time to get back to work lol. Again explainable but it just is something to think about...

I have had many experiences. But, I usually dont share them . So I keep them to my self and perhaps to those I trust. But, it is one of those things that I treasure. To those that tell me they dont beleive, I just smile. I do tell people tho, that I am not afraid of ghost, its people that truly scare me. :huh:

Sam Wheat and his fiancée Molly Jensen live in Manhattan. Sam has a high powered job at a local bank, and Molly works on ceramic art. Sam's friend Carl Bruner also works at the bank. Sam holds the passwords to some of the bank's major accounts. While returning home from a movie theater, Sam and Molly are attacked by a mugger named Willie Lopez. As Sam and Willie struggle over Willie's gun, a shot rings out, and Willie runs off. Sam chases Willie, but Willie escapes. Sam then runs back to Molly to see if she's alright -- but Sam finds himself dead in a devastated Molly's arms, and Sam realizes that he is now a ghost. Later, Willie finds Sam and Molly's home, and breaks in while Molly is busy in the bedroom. Sam scares Willie off before Willie can do anything. Molly didn't even know Willie and Sam were in the place. Sam follows Willie to his home, and wants to have Molly turn Willie in, but Sam can't communicate with Molly because Molly can't see him or hear him. Sam visits spiritualist Ona May Brown, who can hear him, but not see him. When Sam convinces Ona May to talk to Molly, Molly refuses to believe what Ona May says, and Carl tells Molly to have nothing to do with Ona May. Sam follows Carl to Willie's apartment, thinking that Carl is about to confront Willie, but instead, Sam watches in shock as Carl chews Willie out for killing Sam. Willie was not supposed to kill Sam -- Willie was supposed to steal the account passwords from Sam's wallet for Carl, so Carl could carry out a drug money laundering operation. Now Sam and Ona May must protect Molly from both Willie and Carl, who thinks the account passwords are in Molly's home.

Whats sad is that you actually took the time to do this..... :huh:
