Tell me your real ghost stories!?

Question

I've never seen anything paranormal but I love to hear other people's stories about strange things they've seen/heard. I like to thing I'm a sceptic but some stories about strange goings-on just don't seem to have an explanaton at all. It amazes me. Go on - tell me your true ghost stories!!

Answer 1

One day, my oldest son and daughter would come out of their room and say "what do you want?". I looked puzzled and said "nothing, why?". They have told me that I called their name. I said "no, I didn't.". Well, one day, I was doing dishes...my daughter came up to me and said "mom, I'm hungry.". Not turning around...I replied "Ok, let me finish dishes." BAM!!! All the sudden, I knew she was in school...I quickly turned around and there was no one standing there. I heard my daughter's voice clear as day. I finally said something to my husband...about how the kids would come out and ask me what I wanted saying that I called their names... and how I had that incident doing dishes. My spouse said "yeah, I had that too couple days ago...." I was shocked...and had goosebumps cause I knew then that there was something going on...I asked him what his incident was. He said that he was downstairs putting clothes from the washer to the dryer. He heard our youngest son say "daddy, I'm hungry.". My spouse, not turning around, said "go on upstairs and I'll be up in a minute." He heard every footstep going up stairs. By the time our son went upstairs, my spouse started to walk up the stairs, and he could not find our son anywhere in the house...he found him sound asleep on the couch.

This little ghost, we figured like to play games using "our" voices. We think it is a child. other than that..........there is no other incidents like lights flipping on and off,,,things throwing around... stuff like that.

Answer 2

I used to live in an old red brick house. Laying in bed at night sometimes I could hear morse code, I wasn't the only one who heard it and must have heard it 30 times or more (even in summer when no heating or other noise that might be confused with morse code). One night I was lying in bed awake and a white figure came through the wall, floated over the bed for a couple of seconds then disappeared through the wall behind me.

Years later on I went to a slide show of how our town coped during the second world war. One of the figures in the slide show was of the leader of the local home guard - he had wild hair and looked the same as the 'ghost'. Turns out he was quite high up in the Army in the first world war and when that finished he had the house built that we lived in. Eerie stuff eh?

I didn't believe in ghosts before and am still skeptical now - I was in the bedroom and could have dreamed I saw it. Doesn't explain the facts that go with it though.

Answer 3

I never saw a ghost, but I've heard many stories. But once, when my mother was staying with my grandmother (who was terminally ill from a stroke), I saw the strangest thing. It was about 11pm and I had been talking on the phone when I heard my grandmothers dog barking (as she lived only a few hundred yards from my house). I got up and went to my window. Standing there, I noticed a strange yellow globe floating in the sky above the area around my grandmother's house. I walked outside on the porch, and watched it for several minutes. It made no noise and just seemed to circle. Wanting to investigate it more, I returned to my bedroom and put on my shoes, thinking I would go see what it was. After putting on my shoes, I looked out my window again, and just as I did, the yellow globe slowly veered off into the night sky and set just above the horizon over what is called monroe, which is viewable from my mountain home. For whatever reason, I just lay down and went to sleep, even without removing my clothes. It was strange, because usually, I would pursue such a weird thing. But in the morning, I asked my mother if she heard or saw anything and she told me that during this time, my grandmother was yelling and screaming for her dead husband and asking them not to leave her again. I have never been able to explain or understand what the thing I saw was...but I look for it still.

Answer 4

I work in an old pub and my colleague, who opens up at about 6.30 p.m. says that sometimes she sees something out of the corner of her eye in the corner of the room but when she looks there is nothing there. I was puzzled about this. All that was in the corner was a stuffed pheasant in a glass case and I joked to myself it was the dead pheasant coming back to haunt us. However, the other day, I noticed that behind the shelves on the wall there is in fact door that would have originally led outside the pub but there is now an exention built on the other side of the door. I was amazed as if my colleague is seeing a ghost it is probably someone walking in and out of the door and it would make sense. I shall keep my eye out for a proper ghost and let you know.

Answer 5

Well, this is a friend's story. One night, they were driving on a two lane highway, when they saw a man walking on the shoulder, his face was dark, almost red in color. He was carrying a brown bag. They thought he was a hitchhiker. They thought nothing of it, and went their way. About five miles later, they encounter an accident scene, police and ambulence everywhere. The traffic slowed down. As they slowly pass the scene, they see a man on the ground, lifeless, and holding a brown bag next to him, while the rescue workers lay a white sheet over him.

Answer 6

I've got a couple of stories which might seem weird and inprobable. My parents once had a dog before I was born, a little white poodle mixed. But when I was born, I supposed the relationship with the dog went downhill. I wasn't an easy baby to handle, and a whole load of stress caused my parents to ignore or neglect the dog. In the end, when I turned seven, my parents were forced to give the dog away, for that was the time when we had to move from spain to the middle east. The dog immediately, much to our regret, fell sick and died. 10 years later, we had since moved back to europe to england. We bought a nice big house, but one spring I came home to find my mom deeply disturbed and flustered. She was the kind of woman who couldn't stand to hear about occult or supernatural in the house, let alone the 'G'(host) word. She later told us that she saw a little white dog wandering on the driveway outside. It had no tail, floppy ears, and its fur was curled, like fleece. She saw it as she was cleaning the kitchen that early noon, and as soon as she saw it wander about, sniffing in circles, she quickly went out to get the dog, but that dog was nowhere to be found. I couldn't remember when did the next event happen, but it happened as my dad came to fetch my younger sister down for dinner. It was night, we were all downstairs. It's also a point that we had two dogs now. Both white, though one (Rudy)n had long hair, and the other, his niece (nana) had short hair. he was just about to open the door when all of a sudden something white dashed between his legs. He actually reached to take hold of the animal and called out Nana's name, since she had short hair like it and loved climbing up and down the stairs. But. In one blink of an eye than animal was no longer there. He too came downstairs with a disturbed look on his face and had to ask if both dogs were with us at the time he saw it himself. ('course they were, it being dinner time). It was strange to us that both people had seen something very similar to their story, and something we had known a long time ago Of course this is not even a good halloween story but it's the best paranormal thing I can think of remembering

Answer 7

Ive had some unexplained experiences, there's one time I was in the school changing rooms, and me and some other friends saw a swinging coathanger on hook, and none of us could find any possible explination to why it was swinging and it kept swinging for around 10 to 15 minutes non stop.

Another experience I had was when me and a friend crystal dowsing, and the crystal was going round in circles quite fast, and that wasnt it, the tv started changing channels and going off.
