Do you believe in ghosts?

[Harmon]

I think I have a ghost in my home.

How far is your home from the nearest cemetery?

At least 5 miles... that I know of... Unless we have the old ancient native american graveyard thing going on...

Seriously, was sitting here at my desk and thought somebody was talking to me... peripheral vision caught something... turned around and there was nothing... not the first time it happened either.

I know I have had at least two visitors. One is a regular that likes to fuck with people (other than me).

[CurrentlySober]

Nope.

Kid I knew always wanted to be a ghost! Said that he would be a ghost and come and visit me when he died... He was obsessed with ghosts.

Died at 17...

He never came back.

do you have a ceiling fan installed in that room? ..because those things (in some cases) emit infrasound, which (supposedly) can trigger all kinds of strange feelings and/or illusions.

how come there are no goat ghosts? Why can't you visit abandoned goat farms and hear bahhing about? Or mooing at an old cow farm? Why in this day and age of everyone owning a video recorder of some sort nobody can come up with an image or a video that can't be explained by any backyard 2 bit magician?

According to wikipedia there have been roughly 100-115 billion people on this planet both living and dead, you subtract about 7 billion from that you have all the people who have died. Out of those approximate 108 billion dead people why are we not flooded with ghosts? By the numbers alone if they existed none of us could sleep at night...

The mind plays tricks on you, especially when you are over tired. Get some sleep...

[Cyndalie]

Yes. I had some violent experiences in the past rental I was in. I was pushed down the stairs carrying my child right in front of my husband. I woke up with scratches unexplained. My child would wake up with freakouts/terrors every night, multiple times every night we lived there (a year and a half). We recently purchased a home and she has slept perfectly every night - unreal change. When we went back to the rental to get the cats after we bought the house she freaked out and wouldn't even go in, begged to put her car seat buckles back on and stay in the car (she is 3). So many things happened in that house. So glad to be out of there. ugh. I never felt alone in that house. Especially in my childs room, there was the feeling of something watching/listening. I saw orbs with my eyes, was touched many times. Not sure if it was a ghost, demonic, or some other kind of energy but we had some words with whatever and told it not to follow us when we closed the door a final time.

How can our beliefs help you with your situation?

[2MuchMark]

There is no such thing as ghosts (or God, or Flying Saucers, or ESP, or Telekenisis, or Pyramid Power, or Crystal power, or or or...)

People think they see something because they want to see something.

Not only is there absolutely no scientific proof of ghosts, the entire idea is just full of holes.

Ghosts make for great scary movies, thats all. Anyone who lets the idea of them influence any part of their lives needs help.

And how about the people that did not want to see anything or it was the furthest thing from their minds?

Actually, after reading your post again, I don't know why I bother reading anything you say.

My office is haunted... Some odd shit goes on in here from time to time. Had a fan come flying off a table once, had spinning chairs also had some crazy noises happen when i was the only one in the place.

Kind of a spooky place to work in the evenings.

Years back I used to live in a house were a family were killed in a fire started by an infamous local arsonist about 10 years before we moved in.
When we moved in we had a welcoming committee of about 4 or five local residents informing us of the houses history. They informed us that a boy who died in the fire was still living in the house. One member of this welcoming committee was the boys aunt, she lived in the house next door but one.
She told us that we may see or hear the boy and that he is happy and at peace in the house and would cause no trouble. She asked us for assurance that if we did see him we would NOT "make a fuss, contact the media invite clairvoyants into the house or get a priest to bless the house"
Usually, I would have told her to get the fuck out my house but I did know about a family dying at the hands of this arsonist down this street. I just didnt realize it was the house I had moved into.
She was a nice old bod and she clearly believed her nephew was happily living in the house. Who was I to burst her bubble? so I assured her that she had nothing to worry about.
I told her that he was more than welcome to stay in the house and joked that as long as he doesn't play loud music after 11:00 well get on just fine.
I got on well with this old woman and used to feel real sorry for her. At Christmas and the date of the boys birthday she would ask if we had seen him. Brought a tear and a lump every time, bless her.
As nice as she was I thought she was off with the pixies. I used to feel a pang of guilt when My gf and I would see her walking past the house and we'd joke that she was popping to the pub to have a quick gin with her great uncle alf who died in the 1st world war.
about 6 months later she collapsed in my front room, the paramedics tried (to a point) but she died on my new fucking rug (bless her). She was almost 90 but it was still a head fuck.
About a week later I was sat downstairs while my gf and 5 month old daughter were upstairs asleep hogging my bed.
Now, when we moved in to the house there was an old solid wooden door resting against the bedroom wall that I had not got round to stripping and painting.
It was heavy, my gf couldnt move it so it stayed put until I got my lazy ass into gear and did something with it.
So when I heard it scraping across the floor I thought what the fuck is she moving that thing for after all this time. She's going to do her back in or worse, wake the baby up. Just as I was about to drag myself away from MOH1 and go see what she was doing I heard such a fucking bang then silence.
The door that had remained in one place for over half a year had moved and landed on her head and almost knocked her out. What the fuck?? When I lifted the door from her I could see that there was no way that the door was leaning up against the wall when it fell. For it to reach where she was sleeping it would have had to be moved by at least 4ft from the wall first then fall.
I would not believe that this was the work of a ghost or any other bullshit even though I knew for sure that something moved the door before it started to fall.
Rather than being scared I was in an almighty rage that I was the man of the house and I didnt have the fucking answer as to how this happened. It was out of my hands and I didn't like it.

I wouldn't allow myself to entertain the notion that this was a ghost but for many months after the event I would still find myself getting worked up about how the fuck this happened.

I do not and will not believe in ghosts.
I do not and will not believe in ghosts.
I do not and will not belie...

[buildingfutures]

Damn, some creepy stories here.. What the fuck

[seeandsee]

i do, just in holy ghost!

[ThunderBalls]

My kid was killed in a car accident and exactly one week later a clock in my office stopped working at 9:21AM. I didnt think a whole lot about it until I was looking at the accident report and the time of the accident was listed at 9:21AM. Coincidence? Maybe. Still some strange shit.

Good thing it didn't follow you. They stick to the house I think.
Except for hollywood movies where they follow people.
My ex lived across the street from the Amityville Horror house before moving to California, clear across the country... it too was haunted.

[Tom_PM]

Some of these things could EASILY be explained by cloaked aliens you guys. doy!

Seriously? I dont know, and thats fine with me. Life needs mystery and unknowns.

[CDSmith]

I believe I don't know everything about the universe and what happens after we die. Some people think they do, but they don't.

I voted "maybe".

So sorry to hear this

[AnimeFevers]

I believe, my grandmothers house was built on some indian burriel ground. When I was a young kid and used to sleep over there a lot I would always hear footsteps late at night and chairs moving. I guess friendly spirits are ok but the evil ones scare the crap out of me...
