ive got a few ghost stories that i can share.
First of all is my mother and sisters encounter with a ghost in my mothers bedroom. They were putting away some bed clothes in a drawer when they both looked up at the same time and in the mirrow saw the reflection of an old woman sitting up in my mums bed. Needless to say they both shit themselves and legged it out of the room and refused to return until my old man had checked it out. Since then no one has seen the old woman but a few other things have happened since, things have been found broken and even snapped in front of us. I remember one time being with my father in the kitchen when we heard a clatter from the living room. upon entering we saw that one of the horse brasses that hangs on the fireplace had been snapped. This was thick leather torn apart like a piece of paper. A few days before this my mothers handbag had been ruined when she discovered the strap ripped clean off.
My sister is also convinced that her new house is haunted. Since she has been there both her and my nephews have heard footsteps on the stairs, not just creaking floorboards but the actual sound of someone or something walking up the stairs. Other things like peoples mobiles answering themselves has happened in that house. More recently my sister was in bed watching tv when it suddenly fell off the wall, it had been wall mounted securely for over a year... Also iirc she had a lamp in her living room that turned itself on whilst she watched tv with her kids. About a week ago I went to her house with my folks because she had just got back from a holiday in spain. We were all sitting in her spare lounge and i was on the sofa beside the pc desk, suddenly the PC beeped, and booted itself from cold as if the power switch had been pressed. That was scary, but she says such things are common with the hifi turning itself on etc.
My final ghost story is of the house next door to me. An old guy Roy used to live there, he was a great guy and when i was young i used to be best mates with him (no he wasnt a kiddy fiddler) anyhow he died and his sister decided to rent out the house rather than sell it. The first family who moved in was a Doctor from burma and his wife and 3 daughters. One day his wife came around to talk to my mother and told how the night before she was in bed with her 3 daughters when they saw a mans shadow move along the wall in the main bedroom and into the upstairs toilet. Roy only ever used the upstairs toilet in the nights because he was too pissed to walk downstairs and out into the garden (yes even in winter he used the outside loo lol). Anyhow they were a little scared by it but Mrs Zoy explained that ghosts are considered to be good luck in Burma so she was quite happy to share with him
about a year later 2 girls moved into the house and a few times they said that they thought they had seen a man moving across the room and even claimed that the upstairs toilet flushed itself from time to time
All pretty freaky stuff and possibly easily explained away, but it makes you think for sure. Just thought id share that with you
take care
