What's your best personal ghost encounter story?

Question

I have none of great significance, but:

1. When I was a child, I lived in a bedroom that took up the whole upstairs. I would often see a man in a WW2 Uniform walking up the stairs but he would vanish before he entered the room. (I was like 6-12 years and truthfully did not know what a true uniform would look like...now I can confirm that it is accurate.

2. In my old apartment I had a ghost cat....you could see it as a shadow scuttling around...you could hear purring in a room when you knew all the (real) cats were in another room...and my cats would always play with something invisible, chase it , wrestle it, the whole thing.

3. In that same apartment, there was one room that ended up being used as an office...I refused to have it as the bedroom, because whenever I slept in there I had terrible violent nightmares, the contents of the closet would get rearranged, I would hear crying, my alarm clock would change times and none of my cats would ever go into that room.

4. In my new house, none of my cats will go upstairs, (like an attic but with stairs, not all that functional)...my boyfriend has sworn he has heard someone walking around an coughing up there when he's been alone in the house....and my puppy just recently was found at the bottom of the stairs (too little to climb them) staring at the space at the top and growling...and he never growls.

RB...aside from that room in the apartment..I don't need to get rid of them...they don't bug me or scare me.

Atheist Guy...grr...now I remember why I loathe Atheists..

Wow, it almost sounds like something is following you.

One of my ghost stories is from New Orleans (where ghost stories are born). My friend and I were staying at the Hotel St Louis. At about 3am, the alarm on my digital watch started going off, but I didn't even know how to set it so I knew I hadn't done it.

Then, we went out for breakfast (there were only 2 of us in the room) and came back and the deadbolt had been locked from the inside. We had to have someone from the front desk use a special key to open the lock. He had to lay on his back and unlock the door from a hidden lock under the door knob.

Many other experiences, there, too. Luckily all were friendly.

Answer 2

Sounds like demonic (poltergeist) action. A believer has the authority to cast them out and away to keep them from coming back. I haven't seen one but had to deal with one at work onetime. I sent it away and that was the end of the problem.

Answer 3

Seek professional help - and by that, I mean a psychologist, not an exorcist or the ghostbusters.
