In the house I grew up in, lights used to come on in the middle of the nights all the time.  Just randomly all the lights in the living room would turn on then in the kitchen and all the bathrooms.  It was super freaky.

I tend to distinguish between ghosts and spirits. When people think of haunted houses, they tend to think of ghosts (I tend to think of them as psychic echoes), whereas my house is filled with spirits. I love my household spirits. They're my kind of spirits. Very wonderful to have around. So I don't really have many stories about them because they're just so darned good. Mostly, everything in this house works better and lasts longer than normal, like the 27 year old water heater I just replaced. \n\nBut I imagine that what you really want are some good stories, so here are a few of mine.\n\nOne time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nAs a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nI rarely ever actually see ghosts, but one time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a Pagan festival, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."

I strongly do. Its not dead people we hear but demons. When we die we sleep until judgement day. Ghosts are demons in the guise of humans. \nEVP is a very good phenomenon to see is a demon is lurking about. Just take a voice recorder and set it up in an empty room. Come back later and carefully listen to it.

Yes!  There are spirits in the world. \n\nI for one would love to hear your story. \nI have had a few myself from places i have stayed over the years.\nI have only seen one ghost in a whitish shade.. \nAll the others were noises like running down the hallway when no one was there.. or having both my dogs start backing in the corner of the room.. then sitting down politely waiting for something..  \nMy dogs never sit and face a corner.. \nMade me move real fast.. found out i was sleeping in the same room the old man before me died in ..  \nIf i knew that i wouldn't have rented that house. \nthere has been so many to mention. \n\nSome good some not so good. \n\nALD

I've always been obsessed with the paranormal, reading about ghosts and watching scary movies.  Lately I've been watching a lot of Most Haunted and I'm reading a book called Ghost Hunters, about William James's (one of the first psychologists) quest to find out whether the afterlife exists.  Despite my preoccupation, though, I still have to see it for myself to believe it exists, kind of like God.

Sure, I am a paranormal investigator and I visit haunted places all the time. \n\nMost stories like that are merely Legends and not actually what happens. \n\nThat does not mean there is not paranormal activity there, but I doubt you will actually see that the way the legend describes, but I say go and check it out and it it does happen congratulations.\n\nNot everyone can see ghosts, and most of the paranormal investigators out there have never seen a ghost, but have experienced things of a paranormal nature. \n\nI believe in ghosts because I have seen two, but those two are the only ones I have seen and spoken to, but I have had many other experiences with the paranormal.

I do believe in ghosts/spirits. I never encountered any spiritual situation but I do believe that if the soul won't rest after death, it will find a way to make its presence felt by humans...maybe it's a way of finding peace in order to leave the real world and be set free. Some people might think that the presence of a ghost/spirit is bad news....when in fact it might be a way of letting the person know that the person whose spirit is felt is watching over him/her...like a kind of protection. \n\nWell, if I ever find myself in this situation I'll run for my life! Yes, I said that I believe in them but did I also mention that I'm scared of them?? :/

i dont believe in ghost persay, you know, the ones that float around and rattle chains, moan and groan, but i do believe in spirits.\n\ni believe the spirit of a loved one is always present. a spirit is the essence of love, you feel it in your heart, a warm feeling of peace and safety. i do believe in gaurdian angels, again the spirit of a loved one protecting you.\ni believe that my gaurdian angel is a much loved uncle that i was with when he died, i have had experiences that i just could not explain, but when ever these things happen, he is the first thing that pops into my mind, just out of the blue and i feel his presence, his love.

I have experienced ghosts.  In one home I was in w/ my oldest daughter, we had been experiencing things.  She stayed home one day and we went into the basement.  The dead center of it.  There were no boxes around us and no one else in the house w/ us.  We said the Lord's Prayer and held hands.  Then we said out loud "ok we know you are here.  Show us!"  The next thing we knew, a box was kicked on the other side of the room.  Showed a footprint and all.  Quite freaky.

I have encountered them, and have quite a substantial list of friends who have encountered them. Some things just exist whether you want to believe it or not.\n\nI have a few theories on how someone becomes a ghost, but I should probably explain that I believe in person truth, first. I believe that if Mary believes that she will go to Heaven when she dies, she will go to Heaven when she dies; if Joe believes in reincarnation, he will be reincarnated; if Lucy doesn’t believe in afterlife, than her body will decompose and she will cease to exist. Thus, one way someone could become a ghost, is if that's what they believe will happen to them when they die. For the sake of further clarification, I believe a ghost to be the soul of a living being (including plants and animals) who’s body dies.\n\nAnother way would be if someone dies when they are unsure of what will happen to them after death - their soul is then stuck in limbo until they figure it out. Someone might also become a ghost if there is at least one lesson they have not learned or one goal they have not completed (predetermined by fate), and are stuck in limbo until they learn the lesson(s) and/or complete the goal(s). A third way would be if someone still alive is incapable of coping with the death, and consequently holds that soul back from moving forward until they are able to let go. Finally, someone may also choose to stay behind, for personal reasons.\n\nHere's a little story if you need some convincing: My late dog, Kristy, stayed behind as a ghost for some time after she died early January of 2005. My fiancé and I were watching my parents' house while they were away for a few days. We were the only living beings there, and we had both been downstairs for the past few hours. I went upstairs to fetch something from my room, and just outside my door, I saw something I couldn't explain away as something natural. There was an oval-shaped area of carpet, the size of Kristy when she laid down, that was matted down and warm to the touch, as if she had just been lying there not moments ago. I didn't think much of it as I knew she was still around; I would occasionally feel her presence or even hear the jingling of her collar, as if she were scratching her neck, just beside me. She appeared to stay for a while after we adopted our new puppy, Sam. He was remarkably easy to housebreak, and I'm sure Kristy had a hand in it. I think she also stayed behind to somewhat "approve" of Sam, and to be assured that he was not her replacement.

I not only believe in ghosts, they believe in me.  I have seen and conversed with ghosts.\nUnless you know what you are doing, and none of us do in the spirit realm, leave this stuff alone.  It is very dangerous.  It can be a source of great evil.\nI no longer involve myself in these practices.  It is like watching a bad accident.  You can get so caught up in it, that you forget that it isn't a part of every day reality.

I believe in ghosts, except I haven't seen one.  I really want to though.
