Ghosts Real or Fantasy??!!! I want to hear a good story :)
 

It's that time of year again were we all ponder the existence of the supernatural...

This is one of my dads stories, wether it's true or not I don't know. I was born in 1985 and there were more supernatural occurances after this as well I'd love to go back to this house as I wasn't there for very long and see if it actually does have an eeire prescence to it. If any of you have any ghost stories your family has told you or you have had any experiences post here :) I'd love to see or take a picture of a real ghost the closest I got was here at a church on new years eve...

Back in 1982 I was Living in a Late Victorian terrace house in Long Eaton(Hemlock Avenue)
I only had one functioning bedroom that had a double bed and another single bed tucked in the corner of the room next to the window onto the street.
I had just split up, relatively amicably, with my girlfriend but for the time being she was still living in the house (long story..don't ask)
One evening she had a friend (girl) stay over. They went to bed in the double and I took my place in the single. There were no curtains in the room so street lights and a bright moon were shining in.
I found myself staring over to the double bed area and could see the friend (Deb) kneeling next to the bed as if in prayer...I stared for a few seconds, blinked while my eyes adjusted , she was still ther so I called out "Deb, you ok"..she responded "Yeah"..worryingly though her response didnt come from the
figure at the side of the bed but the far side where she was sleeping.
"Are you in bed" I asked "Yes why" she replied...now I dont know if something in my voice had triggered it but she sounded scared herself...
"Could you put the bedside lamp on please " I implored.
"Why?"
"Cos i think theres something by the bed"
By this time both her and ex g/friend were in a flap and were thrashing around trying to find switch...I couldnt s! ee them only heard them cos I was all the time still staring at this figure...the light eventually came on and the figure was gone "Did you see it?" I asked, and explained frantically what I'd seen.
"No" they both replied cos they'd kept their eyes shut out of fear...I had to spoend the rest of the night between them in the double bed, as much to soothe my fear as theirs.
I've tried to analyse this and looked for explanations like clothes hanging casting shadows etc. but there was nothing there that could've done it. I never saw that apparition again but did have experiences in that house, though none as lucid and none as visible manifestations.


another one my dad told me was when My mum and dad were at home watching the Excorcist their clock stoped at the exact same time as the one in the movie did.

Also apparently I was locked in my room for some time and my mum was trying to get in she had left me asleep in the cot but apparently I was sitting ontop of the baby changing unit and there was some plastic balls blocking the door, my mum claimed I didn't have any of those at the time.

I don't have any ghost stories. Those pics are pretty though... And I do believe ghosts exist. There have been stories of them for quite some time, so their must be truth in them.

When I was newly married, my husband & I lived in his parents house. His parents didn't live there, we were house sitting basically until it sold. It was an old old farm house, his grandparents had built the house, his Dad inherited it from them. When we moved in, our oldest daughter was almost three, and our second daughter was a new born. My brother and his wife were also staying with us for a time. The house was huge, there was plenty of room. My newborn slept in the same room as we did, so I could hear her when she woke in the middle of the night.

Well, one night we were all sleeping and my 3 year old woke me up. Shaking me, saying Mommy, baby cry! Mommy, baby!! Well, I woke up disorientated as the baby was right beside me in her bassinet and she wasn't crying. So I got up, checked her anyway (sleeping soundly) and took my 3 year old out to the family room to avoid waking everyone up. Sure enough, soon as we got in the family room, I could hear the baby crying. So I went back to pick her up, thinking we had woken her. Except she was still sleeping. And you couldn't hear the crying in my bedroom. Soon enough, my brother & his wife came downstairs, thinking it was my baby and I was too tired to wake up. We could all hear the baby crying -- we even went outside and searched around the house, wondering if somehow a baby had been left outside, but no such thing. The baby cried for hours that night, it was very, very strange. That's the night it was the worst, but we heard that baby many times in the two years we lived there.

My husband has many stories of ghosts in that farmhouse, unfortunately, when we moved out we built our house so no ghosts here. I miss them!

Okay I have two great stories to tell!

First Story- Once right after moving into the home I live in now I had one of my friends over. She walked into the bathroom the ran out again.
"Why is your grandmother just staning in the shower!?" She demanded.I looked at her as if she were crazy.
"What are you talking about!?' I asked.
"Your granny is in the shower!" she cried.
"My grandmothers are both dead!" My friend went pale.
"Then who is the old woman standing in the shower!?"
We both ran to the bathroom, but whatever she saw there was gone. My friend swore to me that she was telling the truth, but I haven't seen anything... I kinda hope it is true!

Second Story- When my dad was six or seven his cousin Jacob, who was the same age, was hit by a car and killed!
Months afterwards, Jacobs mother went to wake up John, Jacobs younger brother.
But he told her that he couldn't go to school because Jacob had told him to go shopping for their younger sister. But they didn't have a younger sister!
His mother became mad and he was forced to go to school.
Nine months later though, John's mother gave birth to a baby girl!
I've asked my Uncle John, thats what I call him, if he really had seen Jacob. He said that Jacob had told him he was going to have a siter and he had even discribed what she'd be like.

Weird, Huh?

Zarq thats sounds pretty scary to me. I don't think I could tolerate hearing a baby crying that wasn't your own in a spooky farmhouse... I lived on a farm also and I didn't get any spooky stuff happen there. There was a weird feeling in my grandparents house who lived in the main half of the house next door. But I never experienced anything in those two houses. The only creepy thing I can remember happening to me was I was laying on an ottaman at home in an newish house when I was about 6 or 7 and I opened my eyes and a fuzzy unfocused hand came down over my face I closed my eyes again because it freaked me out I didn't say anything to my mum and dad because I didn't think they'd believe me.

My friend's grandmother had died a couple years back. She died wearing a white gown and nightcap, and the only person to have seen her was the neighbor who found her dead, and my friend's mom. Another friend of hers was helping her clean out the house, and my friend's mom heard a scream. She ran over to her friend, just in time to see her mother in a white nightcap and white gown.

Pretty fucking cool if you ask me.

It was frightening when I thought there was a real baby, but once I realized what it was it just made me sad. As far as I had been able to determine, there had never been a tragedy involving a baby or anyone at all in the farmhouse.

The idea of waking up to a ghostly hand covering my face; now that would freak me out. *shiver* Even now at my age (long past 7).

@Clair Voyant: If you had just moved in, I imagine it wasn't your granny. Have you done any research to find out who it might have been? It might be interesting to find out who lived there before.

@MayuSatomiJuRei: I would love to live in an old church like in your photo. Haunted or not, those old churches are just flat out awesome.

@Pkero: Did your friends Grandmother do anything? Or just appear? Any further sightings?

I know there's always something apealing about living in an old church. It would be cool. Although one without a graveyard like this one.. and a really spooky clock tower.. *shudders*

OOHhh actually I found this one of Lincoln Castle (in lincoln UK) I took at the christmas market last year this was weird.

Wow, that's creepy. Did it feel as if she/he were trying to push you? I've never encountered any ghosts that had a bad feeling to them. I imagine if I did, it would squash my interest pretty quickly.

Could those "orbs" just be water droplets/moisture on the camera lens? :?:

Ghost stories are scarier when they are actual things that have happened to you, and not someone else!

I think they are faults with cameras but it's just odd that it's the only picture they showed up on.

. :) But others think they are ghosts thats why i posted them :) :o

Long post following -
I'm fairly sure I've seen a ghost once. I can't think of another explanation for what it was.
It was a few years ago and I was staying over at my ex's apartment. He was at work and I was cooking him dinner. I was standing by the stove when one of the landladie;s (they lived in the apartment above us) cats came screaching down the stairs and run into the kitchen. This cat hated me and would never come near me normally, so I was a bit confused. Anyhow not only did it voluntarily come into the same room as me, but it was hiding behind my legs and screaching. It was a Siamese cat and those things sound really evil when they start getting upset. I was looking at the cat when the room started getting cold. I was cooking, and in front of the stove, so it should have been boiling, but it got freezing. The back of my neck was like ice. I got the feeling that someone was watching me and I looked into the hall and saw a man standing there. I couldn't see his face, but he was shaped like a man, and wearing a trench-coat with a hat. I couldn't speak at first, but eventually said the first thing I could think of ... "Would you like some Tacos?". I know it sounds daft, but it was all I could think of at the time. He just kept facing me for a minute or so and then turned around and walked up the stairs to the landladies apartment. Then I heard a god awful scream from upstairs and the other of the landladies cats came howling down the stairs. Now this cat was fat. So fat her belly dragged on the ground. It never came downstairs. It couldn't come downstairs. But it did. In a mighty hurry!
I was trying to think of a logical explanation, so I thought maybe it's a burglar. I couldn't just stand there cooking while someone could be robbing the apartment upstairs. So I walked upstairs. Pushed open their door and... nobody. Nothing. o_0
The cats stayed downstairs with me and wouldn't leave my side for the rest of the evening.
I didn't tell my Ex, or his landladies about it when they got back, as I figured they'd just think I was crazy.
A couple of months after we were invited up to the landladies apartment for dinner, and after we'd eaten we were sitting around talking. One of the ladies, Max, said that they had a ghost that kept moving around her jewelery and that this ghost had followed her home from work (she was a taxi driver) one day and since then it had taken up residence in their apartment. When she described it, it was exactly the same as what I'd seen :shock:

No ghost stories here.

I'm not sure if I believe or not.

This ghost photo was taken in 1999 at Historic Worley B&B Inn in Dahlonega, Georgia. The owners hired a photographer to take publicity photos of the inn and its rooms. One contained the faint image of the upper portion of a man lying on the bed. The Inn's owners believe the figure may be the ghost of Claude Worley. A descendant of Captain William Jasper, he reportedly died in the house in 1889 after being hit by a train.[/url]

I have ghost stories but they're all pretty stupid, lol. My best friend's house and my house both had ghosts, but nothing too crazy ever happened. Except for this one time... me and her were having a sleep over and we decided to sleep in her sister's room because she was hanging with us and her bed was the biggest. So me and Beki were sleeping on the bed, and her sister Voo decided she wanted to sleep on the floor because she wakes up at night and doesn't want to wake us up. The light switch is all the way across the room, by the doorway, its the only light in the whole room. The window has tinfoil on it to keep the sun out in the morning and there's a mirror right across from the bed. So anyways, me and Beki are just laying there. We always get super hyper when we try to go to sleep so we decided to talk about ghosts. She was telling me of this one time she was out of town at a friend's house and her friend's mom said that if she looked out a certain window into the forest at night some little girl's ghost would haunt her. Beki's mom is a strong believer in ghosts so she is too, and she told me she always had a weird feeling about that window and everything. So we were talking about that and then I saw something. It looked like when you exhale in the cold and you can see it, y'know? And so I was like "wtf..." and she said if you see that it means a ghost is in the room. Of course because we were just talking about evil spirits and stuff we got really scared. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere Beki starts screaming, like so much. She doesn't stop screaming and she's crying now too, so I rolled her over so her face was to me and hugged her. Voo, who was still on the floor jumped up panicking and all I could tell her to do is turn on the light. So she runs across the room and Beki is just crying now, and Voo runs to get Beki's mom. I asked Beki what happened and she told me she saw a little girl right at the side of the bed looking at her. That really scared me out so we were both kind of freaking out. Voo came back with her mom and her mom told us that there was and always has been a little girl ghost in the house named Maggy and that she probably just wanted to be part of the sleep over. Still, we were totally freaked out so we got her mom to put sage all over in the room (because it's supposed to be protection from evil spirits.) After a while her mom left and it was just me, Beki and Voo again. We were all laying in the bed with the light on and I saw something move across the mirror in front of us. I asked if any of them saw it too because none of us were moving and Beki said she saw it too, and it wasn't in the mirror like I thought because she saw it walk by the whole dresser. It was so freakin' scary so we went upstairs, had some tea and watched tv the rest of the night. Lol.
So I totally believe in ghosts, with the weird things that have happened at my house and my best friend's house... its hard not to, lol.
