One 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\nOne time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a large camping gathering, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, clearly visible to everyone, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nOn another camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\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 wouldnt call them ghosts rather spirits or energies. I use to live in an appartment block which use to be an Old County Infirmary- it use to be the place where they cared for leapers. And I can definately tell you they are real!\n\nLots of weird things happened, once I was watching tv alone and a knife fell off the draining board of its own accord. (there was no vibrations coming from any applicance at the time to have knocked it off). \nAnother time my self and my boyfriend we just nodding off to sleep and right up in the corner of the room a huge dark shadow appeared and swooped over the two of us and away over the headboard-the two of us saw it at the same time.\nAnd there was always thumbing and dragging noises coming from above us although we lived on the top floor.\n\nAnother thing that makes me believe in spirits is that my own mother died 2 years ago, and recently I was at home and heard her bed squeek as if some1 sat on it -thinking it was the dog jumping on or off i went to see there was no one there, all of a sudden I got an overwhelming smell of flowers (she was a keen gardener).\nAnd the most amazing of all is, I had a picture of my mother and myself hugging on new years 1999, I loved the picture as we both looked so happy, I kept the picture in my diary and never ever moved it-no1 else knew where the picture was let alone remember having the picture. \nOne evening I was feeling really down, it was a particular bad time in my life and I asked my mother for a sign that she was looking after me. I was busying myself by clearing out some cupboards that hadnt been touched in years and low and behold the exact picture feel out of an old book- i know it was da same picture as I had written on the back. I reckon it was my mothers way of telling me she's still here in some form still looking after me.

I believe in ghostly events.  Having witnessed 5 events personally and watched my daughter holding a conversation with my mother after my mother had died.  As I have told of one of my experiences in a Wiltshire pub previously I will not re-tell that one, however I  will share these 2 with you.\n\nSome years ago, whilst working as a Security Supervisor at a Retail Outlet my colleague started out on his patrol.  As he wandered sown the mall he shouted back to me, "look at the clock".  The clock he was referring to was an old railway platform clock that had been restored and worked fine.  The hands on the clock were spinning furiously in different directions, they continued to do so for about 10 minutes then they stopped at the correct time and kept time for the remainder of the shift. (The whole thing was recorded on CCTV as we knew no-one would believe us).\n\nAt the same venue, I observed a man wearing a burgundy waistcoat walk into a children's playing area and towards some glass doors linking two of the malls. These doors were locked, the fire exits to the left of the doors were secured by plastic seals  and the only way back out would have been to return the same way as he had entered. Back through the children's playing area and along the concourse. Once again all the CCTV cameras in that area (there was 3) were pointing at this man who would be about 50-55 years old, quite a portly figure wearing a burgundy waistcoat and white shirt (please bear in mind that it was in the early hours of the morning and quite cold).  When my colleague went to investigate the man was no where to be seen. He checked the fire exits and all seals were intact, all the mall doors were locked. The only way that he could have gone was back through the playing area.  After the shift we pulled the CCTV tapes and you could follow this man's steps all the way up to the mall doors, where he goes out of sight behind a brick pillar, then moments later my colleague arrives at the location to find no-one there.\n\n(The outlet is a regenerated Railway building - could it have been an old station master?)\n\nThere will always be some people who do not believe - but I have seen too much to believe there is nothing after this life for us.

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.

Yes. the first ghost I witnessed was during the day. It was in my sisters house and my mother and nephew were in another room. I saw a child about 7 years old. At first it was annoying until I realized he wasn't living then it was scary. \nLove & Light\nSharon

My Hubby and his Mother have.\n\nIn the house they live in when he was a baby, the previous owner killed himself in the back bedroom because his wife left him.\n\nThe ghost hated woman, and used to poke my MiL all night.  He also pushed her down the stairs when she was pregnant.\n\nThey have been back to the house since, and there was a squatter living there and said that the last tenants we a load of female students, who just left the house screaming in the middle of the night.\n\nMy in-laws also now tell me that there was a ghost in my old house, in my son's bedroom.  And whenever they came to stay it kept waking them up and throwing fireballs at them.

Of course they do exist. This is one of the biggest mystery on earth and they do form part of the paranormal phenomena. At 14 years old, my parents and I moved in a new house. We were not aware of course that this house was haunted by some spirits. At night i was not able to sleep properly, i was able to hear strange noises and even someone uttering words in my ears. I was even unable to concentrate at school and was sleepy in class. Four days later, when we were having dinner i decided to tell my parents about those strange noises and the feeling that we were not alone in this house. I was much surprised when they told me they didn't hear anything suspect and it can be my imagination.\nHowever i had persisted and wanted to sleep in their room for the night. I had slept in their room for two days and there was no strange noises or voices. The next day i have took the courage to sleep again in my rooms in the hope that i was just an illusion i had felt. But each time i came into my room i was able to feel like a presence there. It was like someone consistently observing me. And at night at about 0.45 am ,this time i felt like someone pulling my bed sheet and was even able to hear someone walking and uttering strange words. This was driving me crazy and i had kept my eyes close and had been praying aloud till 4 am.\nI had woke up at about 7 am when it was bright outside and ran into my parents room. I had told them that i would never slept in this room and wanted to leave this house. My dad was shocked and decided that it would be better to call a medium. So he did it, the medium ( a woman) came later this very same day, and the moment she stepped in my room i had had goosebumps when she told us that there is a spirit there. She had tried to communicate with the spirits, she had lighted candles mostly everywhere and sitting on a sofa in my room, she had closed her eyes. She was in communication with the spirit and had asked it many questions. At last i had learned that it was a child ( a girl), around 11 years old who died in the year 1955 in my room. It might be that she had died of a disease. She was jealous of me and hated me because i was occupying her room. This story had drived me and my parents crazy. The medium did something to make the spirit left this house and found its way. The same night my mum came to sleep with me in my room and i was able to sleep properly. Then after i was able to sleep properly alone in my room till today. \nPeople who have never witnessed paranormal phenomena can confirmed that ghosts or spirits do not exist. But I am more than 100% confident that It does exist and it is mostly everywhere not only in cemetry. I have read books and see many articles and even watch discovery channel. Spirits are there, one cannot see it with naked eyes but can feel it. I am sure of a thing that those who dies in other conditions than a natural death do haunt this world.

Try this idea..........For halloween we take a walk around the block with the kids and adults that want to go.....Everytime we come to a house that is empty and for sale, one of us makes up a story as to why they are moving, or who died there, or who was murdered there...........Some of our made up stoies are quite elaborate........they can be funny, sad or downright  gruesome.\nIt.s up to the storyteller to hold the interest of all.  Good luck!

I have never actually SEEN a ghost, but when I worked as a security guard at an "abandoned" hospital, there was sure some funky stuff going on. Like cold spots, odd noises, funny feelings, and that thing where the hair on the back of your neck stands up for NO REASON. And YA, it was a little scary sometimes. Of course this was just about the COOLEST job I've ever had! Prowling around all night in an old hospital that was built in the late 1800's. Kinda fun!!

yes, definitely.  I have had 2 that stand out in my mind.  \n\n1.  I grew up in a so called haunted house, but it was not scary.  I was about 14 years old and was lying in bed.  It was nighttime and I was lying in semi darkness.  I suddenly saw a shadow like figure float up my doorway, to the wall, and to the ceiling. I had no idea what this was and hid under the blankets.  The next day, I watched the show 20-20 when there was an episode about how ghosts show themselves as shadows..I had no idea that was true...until then..\n2.  My great grandmother had died and about 5 months after this, my infant daughter's room instantly smelled of Chanel 5 perfume.  Since I never wear perfume because my allergies cant take it, and she wore this, I suddenly thought of her.... then almost 5 seconds later, it disappeared.\n3.  The haunted house I grew up in, things regularly fell off shelves, tv and stereos came on in the middle of the night,  heard footsteps on the stairs, heard my name being called when no one was home, and other things happened quite a bit.

I have seen ghost twice in my life. The first time was very scary because I didn't believe my eyes, so closed them and then opened them again and he was still there. Also it was the middle of the day. Second time I woke up from a sound sleep and there was a black shape leaning over me. I tried pedaling backwards across the bed and screaming for my husband but no sound would come out. I couldn't force any sound from my mouth for the life of me and at the moment I thought it was my life at stake. Very scary, very real. My youngest child has claimed to seen different people on many occasions when no one was even there. Some say imagination some say children haven't shut down yet to that part of themselves.

I have been doing extensive study on just that. Spirits of all kinds. There are stories in my family that go way back to my father's childhood and service in Vietnam. Examples:\n\nSeance:\n\nMy father and his friends used to help and elderly lady with her yard work. She always rewarded them with cookies and lemonade while they worked. They never charged her. After she died, they decided to try a seance. They lit candles and called out for her to come and see them. They were in her basement at this time. Supposedly, she came walking through the wall carring a plate of cookies with a blank staring smile. They all ran for their lives. \n\nGermany: \n\nDuring his tour of duty, my father took a leave in Germany and stayed at a bed and breakfast there. He was told that the place was haunted by the owners pet, a three legged dog that had gone out an upperstory window to it's death. He and his friends laughed this of until they saw the dog run through the room and up the stairs. They couldn't find it again after that, but it is reported to run up the stairs and out the window it fell from every four or five days.\n\nMyself: 7 years old:\n\nI was seven when I had my first experience. I was a kid who buried himself in the covers and I woke up in the middle of the night to find my blankets neatly folded over at the end of the bed. A figure stood in the shadows of my bedroom door. I couldn't see clearly, but it looked like it had on an army helmet and wore rags. I dived for the blankets at the end of the bed and covered myself back up again. I fell back asleep and woke again about an hour later. This time the figure stood right next to my bed and and motioned with its fingers flexing seven of them, bony looking, at me three times. I can't be sure, but I thought I saw a skull in the helmet. My covers were folded at the end of the bed again. I dove for them and covered up again. I can't explain why I didn't cry out. I guess I just couldn't.\n\n14: When I was fourteen we moved to Utah. I lived in the basement. I was awakened in the night to see a figure in my doorway again. This one was large and looked like it had a pair of giant bones sticking out from a medeival helmet. I couldn't see any other details. I covered up and hid. This time, I was grabbed and thrown out of bed against the wall. I got up and ran upstairs. No one was found in the house though.\n\nSo what happened? Was my father smoking something? Was I dreaming? We aren't totally sure. I have found excessive trauma in my families past and have endured quite a bit myself. My father and some of his soldier buddies apparently took up some study of black magic while in Vietnam. I can't vouch for it all, because I wasn't around yet, but it's hard to say what did or didn't happen then. War creates horrors beyond explanation.\n\nDo I believe in good or evil spirits? Absolutely. I have studied several hauntings that you can even look up on the internet.\n\nClearfield Job Corps: E Dorm is supposedly haunted by two ghosts. One is a little girl with a ball. I stayed in E dorm while I was in Job Corps. I wasn't the only person who heard a bouncing ball sound in the halls occasionally. The other is a Residential Advisor who is supposed to have died after I left. So I never saw that one.\n\nJust to note. I do not drink and I have never touched illegal drugs.\n\nSo there you have it, not all of my experiences, but a couple. I have also studied removal of spirits. But those are other stories. Good day to you.

Wow that sounds so interesting. Love ghost stories. Had a few really strange occurences in my life with the paranormal also. If yo dont believe in ghosts, sorry for you. I know what I saw.
