Answer 1

I've answered this same question before and yes I have seen them many of them and currently live with two, my grandmother and grandfather. Nothing really ever happens well on occasions it does but most often, you seen them, then you don't, if you don't see them you can hear them often at times or smell them...

One time a few months ago I was vaccuming out the air purifier I suddenly got really tired and felt like I was going to pass out so I went into the living room to rest a minute, to catch a second wind and grandma turned on the vaccume when I was in the living room, the vaccume was in the kitchen- very frightening at first when things like this happen but I know it is just them saying hello! I seen grandpa a few times once outside in the back yard, once in the basement, once in the garage and once he tucked me into bed one night. Grandma is the one that makes noise, last night it sounded like she got up out of her bed that is no longer there and as if she were walking out into the living room to come watch t.v with me. You could hear two feet hit the floor one right after the other sounded like she was wearing her slippers. Kitty gets frightened a lot!

We, husband and I bought their house they owned when they were a live, there bedroom is now our office b/c all of our guest had experiences and when the youngest was living with us this was her room she only slept in there two nights. Every one that slept in there had frightening experiences that is why it is no longer our spare bedroom.

Sometimes in the room across the hall from their old bedroom I feel someone watching me, mostly when I am in there sewing, it is funny that my sewing table was once my grandmothers.... I am just not sure if she is watching me from the office or from the door way! Not that it matters and sometimes we thought of selling the house b/c at times I do get really frightened and not sure I can deal with it, but we will not sell b/c before we moved in we rented the house out and no one stay long one galwas only there for three days she even left things behind, I still wonder what had happened to that gril this was only one occasion, there were three others that did not stay long at all. So if we sold no one would stay anyway it would eventually get tore down in that case so will keep it I know who it is and what they want and others would not understand.

Answer 2

There are definitely things that children (especially those under 6 or so) can see that we can't. She doesn't need therapy, she's not crazy. There are some things to keep in mind. And I know not everyone thinks this way, but this is the only way that makes sense to me. Everything in the world that lives has some sort of "essence" that can be seen by those who know what to look for. Some people call it an aura or a soul, or whatever you want to call it. The name doesn't matter, that's just what it is. Children can see these from people or things that have been in that place before. Not necessarily a ghost. But everywhere we go, we leave a little of ourselves behind, kind of like a footprint. Children can see these "footprints." If someone really loved a place and died, they might go back to that place making the footprints stronger and easier to see. In my opinion, the best thing to do is not to tell her that she's just imagining things. Its parents telling their children there's nothing there that causes children to lose the ability to "see" these things as they get older. My daughters tell me they see faeries all the time. Just because I can't see them doesn't mean they're not there. Since she's not afraid of what she sees, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If what she was seeing scared her, you might look into it. But this sounds like she's just picking up on the vibrations of all living things around her. I wouldn't worry too much.

Answer 3

I have lived in 2 places where I have had ghosts. The current place I live in now I have seen ghosts. I am not sure if the ghosts have followed me from one apartment to the next but they are definitely there. The way I saw the ghosts was not head on. When I see the ghosts it's in my peripheral vision and when I look at it directly it is not there. My boyfriend has seen them too and he heard them in my last apartment as well. He thinks that it's the same ghosts following me where ever I move. They make a lot of noise in my apartment, things are always falling.

Answer 4

When i was younger I seen a few things, spirits and a few other things. I have found in the last couple of years I have been able to feel changes in energy levels around the areas I am in.
Last year December I went to visit some friends in SA and around 2pm i woke up and could feel something leaning into the end of my bed. I just knew instinctively an entity was there. I was lying on my stomach and as much as i wanted to turn around I didnt because i just knew something was there. Suddenly i felt these bursts of energy, so strong, rush up through my body, like hoola hoop type bars of energy moving from my feet to my head, amazing, about three times this happened and each time the energy got to my head it sounded as if thousands of crickets (insects) were all buzzing at the same time.. like static. I knew though it wasnt a threat and i just lay keeping myself calm.
It was an experience i have not felt since. Where i was staying was a sacred area and it didnt surprise me at all to experience something like that in a place that is sacred.

Answer 5

I went to my mum's island once (for my introduction to her family) and a group of us (about 8...4 adults & 4 kids) were walking to the village from our estate one night (2 of the group included friends from PNG)...as we walked along the path with torches we heard giggling behind us, when we turned around there were these 2 little kids about 10m behind us...not even thinking about the fact that we hadn't seen these kids before we told the kids to hurry up. About a minute later I turned around and the kids were gone yet the giggling could still be heard all around us.

When we got to the village and most of us realised the kids weren't part of the group (even our PNG friends saw the 2 kids and couldn't believe it), we asked around and found out that in the area where we saw the kids, 2 children had drowned in the river next to the path. We were then told that the kids we saw were the dead kids and they often appear when the villagers are walking the path with their children at night. The villagers described the dead kids right down to what they were wearing when they died (yep, the clothes described were the same), and that we need not worry as they are harmless and just want to play with the children on the path....talk about freaky.

There and then I started to really believe in the paranormal...

Answer 6

2 years ago i went down for camping with my school, but we stayed in this big old heritage house thing. supposedly it was haunted, but no one knew it at the time, we only found out on the last few days of the camp when we were looking in the historical information booklets.

earlier on in the camp, i was taking pictures of my friends and people in the house, just mucking around and such. i was also filming short clips on my digital camera.

i was playing it back last year when i saw a little blimp in some photos and some footage. funny thing was it was pretty much pitch black with no one in the rooms apart from me and another friend. no torches, nothing to reflect light to the walls or anything.

i checked the camera to see if it was the flash or some LED light on the camera, but it wasn't.

and so i asked my older cousin who has a fascination in about anything, and he told me something about these little blimps of light appearing in photos of pitch black rooms being the reminiscence of spirits and such.

Answer 7

No, but I know it was there. It all started when I signed a contract to sell the house. The T.V. began to turn itself on and off, several appliances burst into flames, the roof started leaking, my washing machine hose popped off and flooded the kitchen. I would wake up at night and hear furniture scratching the floor in the kitchen and 2 or 3 times I woke up feeling like there were hands around my throat choking me. A truly weird experience.

Answer 8

I'm not sure. My uncle used to live at the end of a sandy lane which had a small bridge. One day around dusk my brother and I along with two older cousins and their one mean dog named Jack were heading home. We were aware that a young girl and her boyfriend were killed very close to the bridge. To make a long story short we all saw a wispy shadow-like form floating out of the woods toward the bridge. What really scared us was the fact that it scared their very mean dog. He took off running toward home and we did likewise. True story.

Answer 9

I was on vacation and went to visit my father.
At night, before sleep, I leave the dog to square.
In the square without lights had a shaddow sitting on the grass.
My dog pulled me crying and the chain scape of my hand. He run to our house.
I pretended no afraid and walk around the square to pass in front of the shaddow.
When I stayed in front of the shaddow I saw a sad old man, his cap darken more his face.
I asked him: - What are you doing here?
- I'm waiting the person with carry me to my new place.
I thought: "With strange answer"... and go back to my house's father.
In the next day my father talk me about the old man died of the heart yesterday in the morning in that square...
Excuse my English but I'm learning it.

Answer 10

I haven't seen one, but shortly after my grandmother died, she visited me. It could have been because I was mourning, but she was there with me, comforting me. Letting me know that it was going to be alright.
