Ghost stories?

Question

Has anyone had any "interactions" or "happenings" with a ghost?

Answer 1

I used to be more of a skeptic, until one morning I woke up earlier than usual, thinking it was 7am. I looked around, wondering WHY I was awake, only to notice it was actually 5am in the morning. After a while, I noticed my bedroom was strangely cold and got up (without turning the lights on) to check on the heater, which I had turned on the night before going to sleep. It was oddly switched off, so I turned it back on and hopped back into bed. After a few minutes, I couldn't get to sleep because I felt like someone was in my bedroom. Assuming it was either one of my parents, I sat up in bed only to see a dark figure standing over the heater. The bottom half of its body didn't seem to exist - and immediately after noticing this, I panicked. I tried to force myself back to sleep, but was so scared I couldn't. Eventually, I convinced myself it was some sort of 'light trick' and got out from under the bed sheets to switch on my lamp. When I did, the figure was not there. I felt like an idiot, you know, foolish and all - so I turned the light out. Just then, I saw it come back - watch me for a couple of seconds and then disappear. Since then, I haven't been afraid of them and I do believe it them - but I don't think I want to experience that sort of thing again. I almost had a heartattack!

Then again, to really believe in a ghost, you need to experience something unexplainable to yourself. And even then, the only one who will really believe you - is yourself.

Answer 2

I've seen spots on the door, but I thought it was from my headache.

and the next day an old lady (first time I'm seeing her) stopped me on the street and asked me if I could read what her dauther was writing on my door (her dauther, as she said was death for 2 years)

Answer 3

Well, wading through this sea of ghosts we call Earth, yes I have had my interactions with them. Their cool, as long as you're cool...Are you cool?!?! Are we cool?!?!

Answer 4

yup I do I lived in this house and it's about 9:00 at night I go into the kitchen to get some water (note my mom and brother are in their room's on the other side of the house) so I'm drinking my water and all of a sudden I hear clear as a bell

"Can I use your phone" and it's a lady voice so I'm frecking out being like 8 I grab the cordless open the back door and wave the phone around saying

"here here if you want to use it it's fine just take it" lol yeah I know dumb right.

Whenever I would go to bed my closet door would not close and it was so dark it wasn't a normale dark. I would always be so scared to get undressed in my room.

I also saw the evil mans shadow on my wall from my nightlight he was wearing a cowboy hat and had long hair down to his sholders. I knew that son of a ***** was watching me when I was changing the lady was protecting all of us in that house but that all changed when we moved out.

When my mom was packing up some stuff in the kitchen one of the cabnets opened up and some tuberwear came flying out and crashing on the floor. when me and my brother got home she had all the kitchen packed up and told us to get our boxes that we're getting the h**l out of here.

As we were heading out to the car the last time hundreds and hundreds of flys came in and died all around us that house is so evil or rather the man is I still have nightmare's of my old room and not being able to get out and I wake up crying just because I was tarified of that house.

Yes I do want to go back with some of my friends and try to get something video or EVP but I know that if I just see that house I'll start crying just because I'm so scared of it my friend's would have to drag me in there or really convence me too stick with what we came here to do.

Answer 5

And all rational people on Yahoo exhaled a collective "Yeah, right!"

Nobody has had interactions with ghosts. Plenty of people thought they did, not understanding simple physics or letting their imaginations run away with them. Some people even misremember their dreams involving ghosts and think the events in the dream actually occurred in real life. Some people taking medications see "ghosts" due to their illness or the effect of the medications.

There are many reasons why a person might say they saw a ghost, but in the world of reality, so far there is absolutely no credible evidence whatsoever for "ghosts".

Answer 6

I was sitting at my computer and my guitar is next to me with the amp and the picks and what not. I feel this presence and I get up to go to the kitchen. All of a sudden, the amp pops on and my guitar is sideways from it's standing position and the pick is floating, the guitar starts playing itself. I will never forget that moment, I was so confused and scared.

Answer 7

I believe in the spirit world and have had lots of experiences when they have made contact. Please dont believe people who will tell you that its demons and fallen angels - Spirits are energy, and energy cant die. Spirits can contact people they care about and let them know that they are around them without the use of a medium, they can do this by:

Lights: Many times some people can experience flickering of lights in the room, or new light bulbs burn out instantly. More often than not your lights are effected when a spirit spends a lot of time around you or when they want to get your attention.

T.V: Spirits have been known to effectively scramble pictures on the tv set.

Radios: Many clock radios next to loved ones' bed will turn on at different hours, sometimes it is the hour that has some importance to the person who has passed away. Many times a radio with go on when a particularly significant song is on the air.

Music: many times in their own way spirits are able to impress you with a song or you may think about them when a song is played on the radio.

Clocks: A clock will stop at the exact moment the person has passed over or a clock or watch will stop working for no reason.

Telephones and answering machines: After someone dies it is possible to recieve a phone call and no one is on the other side, or you could hear the voice of the person . in some cases it has been recorded.

Appliances: Appliances have been know to stop or start working at different times when no one is around them.

Other signs are smells or the scent of the person, a favourite perfume, gifts are another sign, a spirit sends gifts and material items but we do not connect that they are from loved ones. Spirits can impress us to buy things or go to shops where things we like are there and we buy them. Animals are also used by the spirit . Many times a spirit being can influence a bird or small animal to come by us to get our attention in some way.

My dad died nearly three years ago. He was very sick with a terminal ilness. The final days of his life he was talking about the fact he wanted to catch up with his mum and his brother also crossed over. And thats all he talked about. All of us kids (there are 6 and we are all adults of varying ages 30 - 40 and all educated to varying degrees). The day before he passed away I felt realy happy and carefree as if I was going on a trip. I was singing a couple of dads favourite songs including a favourite of his called "I am going back to where I come from". I had to remind myself that I was not going anywhere of significance and still I felt light hearted and free. at 7 the next morning mom rang to tell me that dad had died at 5.15 that morning. Now I have a clock with a picture of my son as a baby on it on my night stand and it stopped at 5.15. My sister rang me that day and told me when she heard the news that she had thought "poor dad what will become of him? and got a very clear answer back "we have him" in her mind.

The next few months all of us reported that we had had experiences of dad speaking with us in dreams or in my sisters case she actually heard him play his harmonica to her but when she went to investigate it stopped. My pet name that my dad called me was Lucy and when I was in a shopping mall I had this urge to go to the public notices where people advertise things for sale and there was a advert for a lost dog called "hello Lucy".

It has been believed for 100's of years that the dead return in spirit and lets us know they are alright in lots of subtle ways. Because spirits are energy they communicate through electricity. I asked dad alound once "if you are here make a light globe explode and several went off that week", the house was new and all the globes had been replaced a couple of weeks before.

Spirits communicate through so many signs. Keep a look out. When my dad was cremated I stood at a pond and said a prayer and my partner was squinting and could of sworn he saw a old guy in a hat of the 40's walking by out of the corner of his eye and then it was gone..................my dad wore hats and the clothes he described were what my dad was dressed in at his cremation.............

You might be on the bus and notice something of significance on a bill board. My dad loved the 202 rifle as he had learnt to shoot in the army. After he was cremated my family went to a favourite place and got some fish and chips. The guy called out their number for their order and it was 202....................

In the parapsychology section someone posted a question about ghosts - there are alot of questions posted in Mythology also and 20-30 people share their experiences of contact with the deceased. I have one in my question section which was resolved. Spirits exist and they can make contact to let us know they are ok. And spirits can haunt to they come back for all sorts of reasons and many people report regularily on this forum of their experiences and that tells me there must be some truth in it.

Answer 8

Hi Everyone, here is my experience.

About 8:30 I woke up on a Sunday morning in a room  lit by the sunlight through the windows. As I looked to my right just after I woke up , I saw a woman standing over me. She looked about 55-60, a little overweight, with a permed hair style reminicent of the late 50's. She was about 2 feet from me, and I could see the exact fabric in her dress, the pattern and colors and individual stitching. The dress was an orange and gold colored dress with zig zag designs on it. It went to her knees and was sleeveless.

At first I thought this was something leftover from a dream. I tried to wave my arms through it but she jumped back. I just jumped from my bed and I started to walk towards the woman with my arms fully outstretched. Our eyes were locked together as we walked across the room. When I had backed her up into the corner, she just dissolved staring at me in the eyes. I could tell this was a live and thinking being. What kind of being I don't really know. She looked exactly like a woman you might see in the supermarket. I bet the whole thing lasted about 4 seconds.

Answer 9

About 30 years ago before i started investigating the paranormal I was the biggest skeptic you would have known. I thought oh yeah right anyone who said this c**p was real needed a brain transplant.

I was doing some repair work in an old house. This house had been left and was a good sound structure but needed some heavy work down to restore it for the new owner.

We wasn't only suppose to restore it but add plumbing and electric which the house never had. The foundation was at least 100 years old and the house was as settled as it ever was going to be.

It was my second day there and we never went there alone as being in old places could be dangerous and if hurt no one may be back out for days. So after removing some old trim around the front door and removing the door and part of the wall so we could bring in a hydraulic jack to work on the 20 foot ceiling in the front area of the house we noticed it was dusk out we loaded up the truck to call it a day and took out flash lights to make a quick sweep to see if we forgot anything.

My co-worker said he heard what sounded like a woman crying and i said yeah old cats make that sound sometimes he said yeah that could have been it. I said your not telling me your afraid of Casper are you? he said lets just get the h**l out of here this place is giving me the creeps.

He was standing in the door way and i was in the middle of the front room area and looked up at him when all of a sudden I hear him scream and point at me or at least i thought he was pointing at me. then i thought maybe he was pointing behind me and I turned around. I seen a huge black mass with a head the size of a bear with red eyes looking down at me and my first thought was indeed a bear but this mass was not moving but growing and with my flashlight I knew right then it was no bear. I felt my 230 pound frame rising from the floor and being thrown backwards toward the door but hit the wall about 4 foot up higher then i was tall. I hit the wall with such a impact it cracked the plaster wall board and made an imprint of my shoulders and head.

on the way home I made a hundred excuses to convice myself and my co-worker that it was anything but paranormal.

stubborn I made it back the next day with a few other coworkers strange never heard ever again from the first co-worker. Didn't notice until I got out of the truck the door was back as was the wall we ripped out and frame work which was busted all to pieces when removed not a single break now back as if it never was removed.

I told the guys I was leaving. i could not drive out because the truck was a company truck so i just walked back to the head office got in my own truck and went home.

Answer 10

I haven't had any encounters with ghost but my Brother says he has. I pick at him because he is a professor at Yale.

any way he said he was held down in bed and heard a giggling like it was a bunch of kids. I personally do not believe in Ghost but unlike some of the other skeptics I won't insult those who have different opinions other than my own. I say to each their own.

By the way fun question to answer thanks for posting it.

Answer 11

my dad has a few...

one about an airforce pilot who came running down the side of the house, put one foot on the porch and was gone. he aparently did this everyday at the same time. like he was caught in a loop. one night dad some how talked to him, them both being pilots, dad showed him a digital watch and asked if he had those in his day, and asked him to go see the plane he arrived in which wasn't around in ww2 and aparently off he went to see and never came back.

my dad has another one about a road through a rainforest near my house, which is on a peninsula, and everytime dad drove past there he was sure an old sailor guy tried to make him crash the car. (ofcourse this made dad drive that road every day for my entire childhood).

my point of view, my dad is talking out of his ***... it doesn't help when you're 6 and hearing about the ghost that's trying to crash the car you're in from someone you expect not to bullshit... but hey, he's a prick and life goes on.

Answer 12

I have two 'strange' experiences.  One was when I was sitting in my living room talking to someone.  They left for the loo and when I looked up to the closed curtains there were 2 or 3 red orbs dancing on the background of the curtains.  I stared for a few seconds and then they disappeared.  Second was when I was walking my dog.  I entered the park and looked over to a shed in the middle of the park as I saw white 'shapes' in a group by the shed.  They 'turned' towards me and came at me and my dog at an unbelievable speed.  I ran all the way home with my dog and when I got there I grabbed my house keys to open up my front door.  As I looked at my keys I saw that they were all bent double.  Strange!!  I never, ever want any more supernatural experiences EVER AGAIN!!!!

Answer 13

As a Paranormal Psychologist/Investigator for over 30 yrs. I've had a multitude of "interactions" & "Happenings". I currently perform Investigations on Active sites here in New Orleans and constantly encounter Paranormal Entities. If you're interested in Hauntings & Ghost Hunters, there are numerous web sites and groups you may wish to visit where you may find like-minded people and read about their stories. You may indeed become so enamored with the fascinating field that you join an active Ghost Hnting group or form one of your own - after you learn the basics of the art. My own site is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ghosthunte...

Paranormal Research and Ghost Hunting are definitely one of the most exciting hobbies you can find. Good luck.   --Rod
