Anyone else have ghosts?
 

The other night I got up to take a piss, and then I laid back down in bed. All of a sudden I started hearing this erratic loud tapping coming from this little table in my room, like someone was tapping it with a pencil. I got up and turned the light on, and walked towards it. As I walked towards it, the tapping got louder and louder, and more erratic. I stopped, staring at it, and then was about to reach out to touch it, and then a loud CLANK happened, and the tapping stopped.

And today a music box in the other room started playing on its own. And I know no one has touched it in many months.

Does anyone else have weird shit happen in their house?

haha, your going insane

you just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I actually grew up in a house that had a resident ghost... I went back to the house after my family had moved away for a while, and it even 'looks' haunted. creepy.

lol, I dont believe in ghost, because if they did, my childhood house would have had one.


The people living there before us was a couple and their son.

The son killed his mom with a pair of scisors in the house.

Thats why my parents got the house for pretty cheap. Nobody wanted to live there.

But, disapointingly, nothing weird ever happened. Except for taping in the heating system and cracky floors

;)

i see dead people
:uhoh

seriously, i do

haven't had a house that i lived in that didn't have at least one resident ghost

it's not a matter of if they exist in your home or not, it's all about if you're able to see the spiritual world

Stay alert for something that resembles a Rat caught in the light. :winkwink:

My Mother husband (my father died 27 years ago) died 1 year ago.. we dident get along at all... no fighting, just a mutual agreament to begave nice. Since i was a small boy i learned to know what he was thinking, before he said anything, think it was to please him or maby avoid a fight. I knew when i wanted coffe, before he said anything. I knew when he wanted me to get the dogs inside before he said anything.. I REALLY could guess it - no shit

Well.. before he died i gave up one of my cidneys to try and save his life - but he died anyhow. At night, and when im alone, it feel him, and can smell his body in the new building i just added to my house.... I think it is because i gave him the cidney.. maby he wants to thank me after all these years of not getting along.

sometimes i am so sure of his presence im affraid to look avay from the monitor, because im sure i would be able to see him.. ore are afraid to se him-- dont know....


But the answer is YES... I Belive you, and I think you only first belive in ghosts when you have had a "experiance" with it

What did your resident ghost do?

ive had ghosts in 2 homes i lived in. i actually got hit in the head with a coin at like 3am. hit me right in the back of the head like someone threw it at me. i was the only person there. So many weird things have happened now that i just laugh anymore and go on about my business.

If a fucking coin hit me in the head when I was alone, I'd flip out

here's a ghost

well, when we first moved in he would simply 'be' in my sister's room and she would hear breathing and feel his presence, so my mom told him to leave her alone and he moved down to the office, which was also the way to the garage. I used to see him running down the hall away from me towards the office all the time... just his lower half, jeans and work boots. We had a small fire in the garage once and my mom is convinced that he started it. I used to get so scared when I'd see him running down the hall, too. ugh.

So it looked like just jeans with no torso?

yep. kinda like he was bent forward while running, maybe... always happened really fast and when I was alone.

I'm convinced we had a ghost in an old house of ours....

Weird things would happen all the time, things would be moved from where we knew we put them (stuff that never changed spots), tapping sounds, and the like....

I wasn't convinced though until my mom and I came home one day (we lived alone), opened the back door, and had a crockpot come flying across the room shattering at our feet!

creeeeepy....

I haven't been here in awhile but couldn't resist replying to this thread, I always wondered if other people had resident ghosts too.

I believe in ghosts and have had a "resident" as well. In the house I grew up in, the TV would be on when we came home, or just turn on if my mom and I were in the kitchen cooking. Also at night time I would hear a noise coming from her bedroom door knob, like somebody was constantly turning it half way but never opening the door. I would walk down the hallway get really close to the door and reach out to touch it and it would stop right away. Creepy shit but I was never too scared, nothing bad happened in the house when we lived there. But, my friends said some old lady died in that house, but I never believed them.

I saw Poltergeist when I was 8. That was a pretty freaky movie

I don't think that counts as a ghost story. Got anything else? :)

i dunno that kid was pretty pale

Well,

hehehe, the true geek in me comes out.

I am a ghost hunter, I actively seek them out, trying to record their actions via camera or evp recordings.

It's fun, I have been to some cool places, and seen some freaky stuff happen.

But it has also opened us up to be a "ghost magnet". We have 3 resident spirits living with us.

One who sits behind me late at night while I work, and just watches what I do, another is a little child, they other, the other, rarely comes around, but she protects the youngest.

I don't live in an old house, in fact, I live in a 2 year old townhouse.

I know the man is around when I smell the cigarette smoke (No one here smokes, not even the neighbors), I know the child is around, as my daughter has seen her, and we get a lot of things moved around.

I know the lady is around due to the smell of an old rose type perfume, which we have none in the house.

I sense the man at night, my kids are afraid of him, there are days my daughter won't go down to our basement and their playroom because, the mean man downstairs frightens her.

The child has actually attacked me, scratching me, as I was yelling at my daughter, and the old lady has whispered my name at night.

All this leads up to some serious fun.

OK now this is REALLY starting to get scary :1orglaugh

Just kidding. Sounds cool. Where can my friends and I go to see some solo ghost action? (couples would be fine too)

Cemetaries are a good way to get some ghost action. But you need to be respectful. They live there, construe it as their home.

You will get a lot of activity if you let them know you are there to look, and not hurt anything.

The older the cemetary the better the haunting I think.

Check out the Ghost Web, they have some great ideas that will get you started.

Also, there are malicous ghosts out there. We have only experienced it once, in a cemetary, he/they did want us there, and kept setting our car alarm off, letting us know that.

Hey if ghost live in peoples homes and dont pay rent or have any income can a person claim them on their Tax return:1orglaugh

I hear loud noises all the time at night... I think I have ghosts escaping from my asshole...

No shit. I'd run to my mommy. And that's an 8 hour run, probably.

This is a good Hallowen thread. I'm like Shaggy on Scooby-Doo...if a ghost ever showed up, I'd move.

I used to love watching that show where they would go into known haunted houses with camcorders and do measurements.... The show used to be on Saturday nights and I would watch it and get super freaked out! Alright I'm a pussy, I know, I know!

I have not seen any ghosts but I sure have felt several times that I was in the presence of them....

My TV used to turn itself on all the time. I think it was just faulty wiring. My bedroom door used to open on its own...I think it was just air circulating in the house...the cat could open the door too...cause all you had to do was tap it lightly and it would open.

I have a Talking Evil Krusty the Clown Doll in the store...one day it just started talking on its own. If anyone has ever seen one of these...you have to pull its string to make it talk.

I am glad I have two cats and a dog. I just blame any weird noises or things disappearing on them...and we also get mice in the attic...so there is another source of weird noises. I should post a pic of my house...it's a very creepy, almost 100 year old place...two story with a basement and a walk-in attic. The door to the attic is in our master bedroom and there is a stair case to the attic. The attic has one big window that I have been thinkning of setting up one of those ghost projectors in for Halloween. It would scare the shit out of the kiddies.

Um...that is some very freaky shit.

this stuff freaks me about something fierce.. im so glad its not night here

that ghost web site.. fuck.. i listened to some of those ghost audio files and if they are real... arg

"HELP ME DAVID......"

I think it would be pretty easy to fake those...

you reckon theyd bother faking them though?

heres a question for the people who have actually seen ghosts before.. are they transperant or solid or what? i dont understand

Hehe...you gotta be a little more skeptical than that, man. You ever see the Blair Witch Project? :)

It may be possible that when someone dies there is a soul/spirit that leaves the physical body. It may even be possible that some have seen these souls/spirits "ghosts". Fabric does not live, fabric does not die and fabric does not have a soul/spirit so I am thinking that no one is ever going to see a "ghost" wearing clothing as is often reported in these "ghost" tales.

But human bodies DO die. If you're saying that a soul lives on, then you're saying beyond the body's death. Why would the naked body survive? It makes sense that they're wearing clothes when they are seen, because they are just energy and this is how they are remembered, or this is how they think of themselves.

Huh?

You're saying ghosts wouldn't have clothes because clothes can't live on to the afterlife. Well neither can skin and bones!

Most apparitions look gaseous, almost like smoke, I have yet to see one in FULL CLOTHING, I feel that is a lot of peoples ways of visualizing things.

EVP's are real, and are the scariest things you will ever hear.

You walk around during your hunt with a recorder, asking questions, just sitting there. marking times down where you felt temperature changings, or odd occurances.

I have heard some weird stuff, but I am also not a pro, like Dave and Sharon, and Ghost Web

Enjoy
