Wow, you all have some good stuff! I have a little experience from back when I was about 20 years old. It was in the middle of day and I had just gotten home from the mall with my brand new Madonna album. I think it was actually the very last year they were putting stuff on vinyl, or close to it. I went to my bedroom where my stereo was, sat on the edge of my bed and took the plastic wrap off the album. I started to read the back cover. As my attention was fully into reading the cover of the album, it felt like someone sat next to me on the edge of my bed, and the bed actually had an indentation, as if someone was sitting there. Of course I jumped up out of fright! As I stood there looking at my bed, the indentation lifted and someone whispered my name in left ear! I let out a scream and ran downstairs, and didn't go back in my room until my brother got home. It never happened again after that. Yes, the bed thing could be explained away by a mattress spring malfunction, but since it accompanied an unmistakable whisper in my ear, I knew it wasn't the mattress spring.

Did anyone catch that show Most Haunted on Friday? I happened to come upon it when I was changing channels and it reeled me in. They were on live for seven hours inside the Winchester House in San Jose, CA. I've always been kind of fascinated about the history of that unique house. They were calling out to the spirits in various parts of the house and also held several seances. They seemed to feel they'd picked up on some things, but as a viewer I'd say that was up to your own interpretation.

I did see that episode only earlier in the year. I love watching most haunted mostly because they show these great old houses in England that have been there for centuries. But whenever they hear something when they call the ghost to make its presence known, and then run screaming and freaking out, the whole show turns into a comedy for me. For so-called professionals, the act more like Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein!

Well now I am wondering if there isn't something to this Halloween stuff. Things have been quiet around here for a long time. Then.....bam. The other night just as I was dozing off I felt someone lay there hand on my arm and kind of squeeze it, like when you want to wake someone up. I thought it was my son. I rolled over to see what he wanted and no one was there. I got up and looked around everyone was asleep. The feeling stayed on my arm for a long time. A few nights before that a loud bang woke my husband up. He said it sounded like a wall was crashing down (that is the same sound I have heard in the past) he got up to check and everything was fine and the rest of us were sleeping. To his amazement we didn't hear a thing. Then yesterday I was sitting in the living room watching TV with my daughter and very clearly saw a shadow pass by in the hallway. It looked like someone was walking from the kitchen into the hall. Of course no one was there or even in that part of the house. My dad was in the shower and no one else was home except us.

Tater, your car story reminded me of an incident that happened to me over 20 years ago. At the time I was still living with my parent about 15 miles S.E. of town. I was across town one evening visiting a girlfriend. At about 10:30 her younger brother came into the house. He asked his sister and I, "Why is that guy just sitting in that white car out front?" He had no idea the white car was mine. He said, "I was walking by the car and he knocked on the window to get my attention but I didn't know who he was or who's car it was so I kept going"? Needless to say we ran out there to see but there was no one in the car and the doors were still locked. Needless to say I was a little freaked out at the thought of having to drive home 40 miles, alone in that car. But at the time I worked for a paging/mobile phone company and I had a phone installed in my car. So I decided that I would be ok. I would just place a few phone calls on my way home to keep my mind off of "the guy" and if anything happened I would be on the phone with someone. Well, I get in the car and took off for home. To my horror, I tried the whole way to get a signal, over and over again, no dice. I never got one but the minute I parked the car at home and went to turn off the car my phone rang. When I answered it there was no one there. Just dead air.

Imbewitched, that story gave me goosebumps. I probably would have been all the way home before I realized all that screaming in my ear was my own. I watched the Twilight Zone's The Hitchhiker a thousand years ago. It still freaks me out to look in my rear view mirror if I am driving alone at night.

"It still freaks me out to look in my rear view mirror if I am driving alone at night". Biloxibelle, That was another thing that had me scared to death that night. Especially once I got outside of the city limits where it was pitch black because there were no more street lights. I finally just pointed my rearview mirror up so I couldn't look into the back seat. I looked like this by the time I got home.

Does anyone have any ouija board stories? I'm not sure if that question belongs here or Hobgoblin Hall. Sorry if it's in the wrong thread.

Uh huh. I was 10 or 11, sis 8, our aunt was 15 or 16 and we were playing with the Ouija board. For the most part we were just being silly, one or the other of us obviously pushing the doohickey around to spell out words and phrases to tease the other two (lol, I remember spelling out the name of the boy my aunt had a crush on even though I wasn't supposed to know who he was.) It had been going on for quite a while when suddenly the doohickey picked letters and spelled "FIRE." We all sat there staring at each other asking who had done that and why that word, it was so different the joking and teasing we'd done before that. No one would admit to it. It wasn't five minutes later that someone was pounding on the front door and when granny answered it it was some guy we'd never seen before. He quickly explained he'd been driving down the street and noticed a grass fire at the house next door, would our hose reach that far so he could try to put it out and could we call the fire department. We'd been in the kitchen playing, there was no way to see the neighbors yard from there and granny was in puttering around. It totally freaked us girls out though and to tell the truth, I don't remember ever seeing the Ouija board after that, lol.

I tend to laugh off things that I experience personally but the Ouija boards make me nervous.

I would never allow something like that to enter my house. My mom says weird things have been happening at my house. BUT, she is going through menopause, so who knows. She says that she was cleaning the kitchen (yeah right) at my house the other day, and after she had wiped down one counter (another yeah right) she went to throw away the paper towel, and when she turned back around it looked like there was blood splattered all over the counter. It freaked her out and she cleaned it up. FUNNY, there was no evidence of it when I got home, and she didn't tell me about it for two days..... She says weird stuff like that happens a lot. I told her she needed to get her butt to church.

My SIL's mother lived with her for a few years before she died. She was a prankster and loved to play tricks on everyone. SIL has one of those lights that comes on or turns off when someone claps. She says that since her mom died that light will come on for no reason and go off for no reason but it only happens in the evening when everyone is sitting down watching tv or reading. She says this will keep happening until she says "Mother, knock it off." Then she says it won't happen anymore that night. My other SIL says that every time she spends the night there now that she wakes up in the middle of the night feeling like someone has been tickling her toes. Apparently, this was one of the things SIL's mother like to do when she lived there.

I don't like Ouija boards. When I was a kid we were playing with one at a friend's house and we asked it some silly questions and then asked its name and it spelled out Satan. We never touched it again.

I don't deal with ouija boards neither, I had a scary experience when I was a teenager, but how they work and peoples stories about them are interesting. I agree with Jimmer they make me nervous, I've always been told that you're speaking to demons when you communicate on it and that demons always lie.

Any Coast to Coast fans here?? Tonight is 'Ghost to Ghost' night where people call in with their scarey stories. on the topic of Ouija boards, George Noorey and a panel of mediums were going to an 'on air' Session using the board. it was cancelled at the last minute due to absolutely bizarre death in the family of one of the panel, another person had a stroke (if I recall correctly) and another had a car accident. All within that week. The experts said that the Ouija board can be sort of a Gateway and to use the board means that a person is opening themselves up to the Possibility of contact with the Spirit world. This willingness to open your mind will open it so that if something can make a connection, you can be followed for Years, even after you only did it ONce. i personally had a couple of Ouija board experiences and would never consider it a toy especially for kids or teenagers. spiritual experimentation at that age is not an informed choice. The risks are too great.

In Kentucky we lived in an old farmhouse - one that had been moved 2 times before resting in it's current place for the past 33 years. Every now and then I'd feel like somebody was sitting by me but nobody or nothing was. Or I would hear cupboards opening and shutting. Eddie or Eddie and Zippy when we had him would be sitting in with me/us. A few times I saw something "float" by, like a woman in a house dress, but just saw the dress part. I was never scared, but felt comforted, especially when hubby was gone on travel. About 6 months after we moved in landlord's daughter asked us if we ever saw anything funny in the house. So I said yes and she said don't tell me. Then she basically explained everything I just wrote above. She grew up in that house and said the ghost was there all the time. Never gave it a thought. When we moved 11 hours away in January no more cupboards opening, no more floating dresses. But every now and then I thought I heard the side door open. It started happening all the time. I never mentioned it to my husband as while he had heard what I did in our house back in Kentucky, he always explained it away. One day I was talking to my brother and heard the door open and shut. As usual I went and checked the door and as I was walking my brother asked if hubby got home early. I said no. He said he heard him come in. I said no I'm checking the door now, it's shut and locked. [After a few weeks of this happening every day the door stayed locked all the time when I was buy myself!] So I proceded to tell my brother about hearing the door open and shut all the time. A couple weeks later my husband broke his glasses so I was running to WalMart to get something to fix them with. Asked him if it was ok to leave the side door unlocked so I didn't have to fumble with my keys in the dark. He said no problem. When I came home EVERY light in the house was on, upstairs and down. Door was locked but he was there waiting for me. He said he heard me come in and set bags down. Kept talking to me but I wouldn't answer. So he got up. I wasn't there. It freaked him out. So I told him about hearing it all the time during the day, and my brother even hearing it. So the door was kept locked all the time no matter what, but we kept hearing it. More and more. It was just the inside door opening and shutting, not the outside. [the sound, we still didn't see anything.] Fast forward to August when we went to New Orleans. Our landlord was there, so was his daughter who is now living in our old house. She again asked me if weird things happened when we lived there. Then she proceeded to tell me that she no longer heard cupboards opening and shutting and dishes moving. But she heard what she thought was kids being wild. So she deducted that maybe the lady ghost moved with us but her kids didn't. So when we heard the inside door open, it was her looking outside to see if her kids were coming. I kinda laughed it off. But, just to be on the safe side, when we got home I hollered out "Thank you for coming to Iowa with us and making sure we were safe. But your kids miss you, and you miss them. Feel free to go back to Kentucky to be with your children." We haven't heard the door open and shut again! Coincidence - maybe. But I didn't think it would hurt to say what I did.
