Who here has seen a Ghost??

I have never seen one, but I enjoy hearing people sharing their Ghost Experiences.

but are they really ghosts? or are we seeing things echoing from the future or the past?

Lately there has been a surge of people seeing apparitions. Theoretical Physics (?) has suggested that there are multi dimensional levels to everything.

Are we seeing ghosts or are we peeking into another dimension?

Yes, I've seen things. Not a dream, awake with another person as a witness.

I've also seen light Orbs many times and something that I can only describe as a Black shape which is the size of a large man.

There is a debate of whether orbs are a natural occurrence or whether they are a manifestation of spiritual beings.

Either way, It is a fascinating subject.

oh and lets not forget how a location seems to have memory of things.

usually the cause is great emotional upset.

I've heard of a room being haunted by a crying woman. When the psychics came they got the name of the person who was doing the crying. Upon researching the history of the house they tracked down the prev owners who had moved after WW2. The ghost woman who was crying in the room was Still Alive!! She had received a letter telling her that her fiance had been killed overseas and went completely wacko for a while. The family then moved but somehow the psychic energy and emotional trauma remained in the room.

Another good example of Ghostly apparitions is the Civil War Battle Fields. there have been many witnesses that under certain circumstances you could see the men fighting still.

Like the horror and emotions made an imprint on the Land.

Here are some interesting Texas hauntings. The one at Purgatory and Devil's Backbone is said to be the most haunted place in the country.

The answer is maybe. I don't know if there's a plausible reason for the things that have happened.

My cousin has a ghost who lives on the third floor of their large house in Brunswick, Maine. And there is a ghost on the third floor next door and they seem to look out windows, perhaps at each other. I never saw the ghost in my cousin's house (I slept on the second floor) but I did see the ghost at the window next door.

I saw my grandfather. I have felt the presence of my parents many times but have not seen them.

I know Dylan saw my mom when he was a baby. after she died I would hear him in his crib LOL...I would go in to see what he was doing and he would be standing up in crib looking straight ahead and LOL....just like he did when my mom was alive and she would stand in room and make silly faces and dance around.

Pamy, I believe that. My grandson Joey has done something very similar.
Sunshyne, I think I see things out of the corner of my eye all the time. Have you ever read Dean Koontz's Out of the Corner of His Eye?

I saw and felt ghosts when I toured Ellis Island and I feel it was because both my Grandparents on my Mom's side went through there as children before immigrating on to Canada! It is the one and only time I have experienced that although I had an out of body experience also when I saved my Dad from drowwning 3 yrs before he died of Cancer.

I've heard of those out of body experience's, can't say I have had one but my sister has. She was lying in the bath tub, everybody in the house was sleeping, so it was very quiet. She said she was looking down at her body in the tub and it scared the heck out of her. I remember an eerie feeling when she told me about it.

I always feel a presense when I visit people who have lived in their house forever. Can't really explain it but it was hard to fall to sleep at those houses.

I've always been interested in ghosts, but cant say I've ever seen one. I've heard some strange things a few times, but thats it. My sister has seen several unexplained things over the years and she definetly beleives in ghosts.

Colossus grew up in a house that had ghosts/poltergeists. He and his sister speak of it very factually, like it was just another patch in the quiltwork of their young lives. It also seems if you're open to that kind of thing it might follow you around - last year his sister had a ghost encounter in an old San Diego hotel with a couple of other witnesses, including her husband and her boss, who were both skeptical up to that point. I've had a few experiences that made my hair stand on end, so I'm pretty open to the subject. I'd rather not meet any ghosts, though, I'd rather just hear about them.

Chaplin that's a cool story on Ellis Island, I certainly believe it. On the notion of buildings holding their memories, try going into Ford's Theater in D.C., where Lincoln was shot. It is cree-hee-hee-hee-pay-hay. You get this wash of dread and depression as soon as you walk in, and it doesn't leave until you do.

I've felt that something in places, too. It's a very uncomfortable feeling.

Sea, what did the ghost look like?

Gal, what were some of things experienced by Colosus? I'm fascinated by ghostly things.

Twiggy, starting with simple things like lights and radios turning on and off when nobody's in the room, heavy furniture moving itself, to waking up in the middle of the night with the sensation of something standing over you and seeing an apparition. The biggest thing for Colossus was waking up with someone tapping repeatedly and insistently on his shoulder, and he looked up and it was a man he didn't recognize. His sister's were all similar to Colossus', quite a few of them were while they were together. In the basement, they heard one of the heavy naugahyde furniture pieces moving around, and they went down together to look and the furniture was all moved into the middle of the room. Apparently that one really freaked them out since their parents were at a movie at the time.

I wonder if they ever researched their house? I would have been freaked out, too!!

My grandparents had an older home. They had a bathroom right off a hallway that ran the length of the house. I can remember hearing footsteps coming down the hall while being in the bathroom. The steps would stop right outside the door. They had old creaky wooden floors, so it really was spooky. This happened to everyone in the house at one time or another.

I do not want to ever see a ghost because I think I would probably have a heart attack and die. Seriously.

Yep. I have seen things lots of times.

My sister is a Ghost Hunter. When she was 16 she bought her 1st car. There was always a ghost in the back seat. One day she yelled at the ghost that he was bothering her too much and getting in the way of her driving. She asked him to leave. He did and never came back.

Never saw a ghost, but after my husband and I first moved into our house, a couple of times we both heard faint but distinct music in one of the bedrooms. We thought well maybe it's coming from the neighbor next door, but when we opened the window, we didn't hear anything.

Sunshyne, I think I see things out of the corner of my eye all the time

classic example of 'shadow people'....it is thought that is a an interdimensional glimpse.

Never read that Book, I shall try to find it.

It also seems if you're open to that kind of thing it might follow you around

I've heard that things can attach themselves to us. Sometimes like a badluck parasite which feeds happily when things happen to make a person upset.

I see it two ways, not sure which is more accurate;
1) a person is eager to experiment, often is not strictly religious and opens themselves up spiritually. next thing you know, they're being affected from outside our world due to ouija board or se'ance or just dabbling in witchcraft/new age etc

2) A person is born with a brain which is tuned in to a frequency that receives signals. Like a radio that is shortwave and everyone else has regular.

Some people seem to see things everywhere, have strong intuition and sometimes are followed by spiritual 'occurrences'.
******

My ex attracted stuff. he used to see 'people' and strange movements even in broad daylight.
Really flukey badluck stuff used to happen to us all the time. Like getting three flat tires instead of one, and having things around the house move (put something down and next thing you know you are looking all over the yard/ house to find it again.)

Of course he used to pop a cork with anger when these trickster type things would happen. I figure it was a Emotional Parasite-type haunting.

But I wont digress into long winded complicated stories LOL

Suffice it to say that when I saw a psychic and had our tarot done, she said he was 'possessed' and under negative spirit control. I believed it then and now.

his eyes would go black (hard to describe) sometimes for weeks then he'd have no recall of the time period.

There used to be a house in Dry Branch (where my aunt and grandmother live) that was supposed to be haunted by my Grandfather's grandmother. She was a benevolent spirit, the "ghost stories" were just things like doors & windows opening/closing on their own, the rocking chair rocking on its own. Little things like that.

I had an experience when I lived in Connecticut which I now believe to have been caused by a malevolent spirit. When I lived in Bristol, I sublet a condo there. Sometimes I'd be awoken by what felt like someone/something getting on my bed. Have you ever had a cat jump on your bed or someone come in and sit on the edge? The way the bed kind of sinks down? That was what I'd feel. I'd wake up and look/feel around and nothing was there. That progressed to the feeling of someone getting on/in the bed being followed by the feeling of someone pressing up against me. But again, nobody was there (I lived alone at the time, had no pets). Then it progressed past that. I'd feel someone get in the bed, press up against me, I'd roll over on my back and then I wouldn't be able to move my arms or legs, as if someone was holding me down. I started sleeping with the lights on, I'd be able to see everything in the room, but wouldn't be able to move. I'd struggle and fight to move until I was worn out and went back to sleep. But sometimes it would happen several times in a night. It was all really terrifying. At the time I didn't know what it was. I knew that I was awake while this was happening, but thought maybe it was a sleep disorder or that I was just having nightmares. I knew I was going to have to try to get some help, because I had gotten to the point that I was not getting much sleep at all. I ended up moving back to GA not long after that. A couple of years ago, I either read or saw a woman talking about the haunted house she'd lived in and she what she described was exactly what I had experienced. That was when I began to believe that mine had been an experience with a spirit, as well. I had not had any issues like that prior to moving into that condo and haven't had them since.

Reading all these stories has reminded me of a house we lived in years ago when my oldest was about 7 years old. Over the time we lived there--18months--she got more and more frightened of her room upstairs. She had this idea in her head that something bad was going to come down from the attic stairs and get her. I put it down to childish fears until my sister--who sees things--spent the night and reported next morning that she felt like someone was in the room and could feel something sitting on the end of her bed! She could see a depression where something was sitting there! I found that house to be dark all the time and you would have to have lights on even during the day. I dont know if this is pertinet, but I was pregnant while living there and had the baby at 6 months but it didnt make it. Needless to say, we moved out shortly after.

Ooooh, ghosts- one of my favorite subjects!!!

I actually go to places reported to be haunted regularly, trying to see a ghost, but so far no luck (or a lot of luck, depending on how you feel about ghosts).

I have seen a ghost, although at the time I did not realize it. The architect I worked with was much older and in failing health. In and out of the hospital for almost 6 months, having to give up his beloved cigars, and even opening a satelite office nearer to his home. Then one morning I am alone at the office and I get the call that he had just passed away. Within 15 minutes I had decided that I was too upset to work, and went to make sure everything in the back was turned off before going home. As I passed his office I could smell the very strong smell of cigars. Glancing in I actually saw the cigar smoke. Of course my first thought was that there was someone hiding in his office. I ran out of our suite (scared of the 'burglar'), and one of the other business men in the building just happened to be outside. I made him go and look. He found nothing, but he could also smell the cigar. There were no exits (I was at the only door, and the windows did not open) and no one inside. I can only assume it was my boss, enjoying that one last cigar before he left this world.

The second incident involves my neighbors. They are old car enthusiasts, and were thrilled to get a great deal on an old car whose single owner had passed away at the ripe old age of 102. She had bought the car new in 1968, and although she surrendered her drivers license in her early 90's. she kept the car and had her grandson drive her. Well, the neighbors bought the car, and the day that they brought it home they took photos. Upon picking up the photos a few days later they were all perplexed at the site of a little old lady sitting in the front passenger seat. I have seen the picture, it is crystal clear, right down to her red flowery vest, white hair and big glasses. The only thing is, there was NO ONE in the car when the photo was taken. And for what it is worth, the grandson that they bought the car from has seen the photo and insists that the picture IS his grandma Ruby...even though it was taken 4 months after her death.
