on our farm there is a man who "lives" in the bush - I didn't know about him until one night, after they tore out the railway that ran through our yard he was standing there on the tracks, a standing shadow, emanating malevolence - I wouldn't have sen him, except that my dogs started going nuts, one whining and cowering behind me, the other barking and growling insanely... afterwards I asked my elderly neighbour if she knew of any "strange happenings", and she said, oh, you met the ghost? I asked why she hadn't warned me, and she said that people might think she was nuts if they didn't see it for themselves. now I've learned that nearly everyone around there knows of him, and there is a place in the bush that even the horses won't approach, and if you go through on foot, you are just overcome with blind terror and start to run... I figure that's where he is from, it feels like him...
also, when I was little, maybe not a ghost, but freaky, I had a wendy walker doll who scared the piss outta me, she'd move around on her own, and turn her head to watch you - I would hide her in the basement and she's be waiting for me on the stairs the next morning - I know my parents didn't move her, because she was well hidden, and they gave me heck for leaving my toys laying on the stairs...

I never saw my ghost, but I did feel him on several occasions. I say it was a male because of what I would feel. He was a butt groper and whenever I would lean over to do something, he would feel my rear! I don't know who it may have been, but I lived in the same old house for 17 years and didn't have this happen until about year 16. Other strange things went on like doors closing and my stuff getting relocated throughout the house and breezes that would blow things off like papers and things. I had a friend who saw a confederate soldier coming down their staircase from the attic bedroom. This happened all the time. No harm ever came to anyone though. Some people say that ghosts will not harm you. I don't know, but they sure can freak you out! I wouldn't be afraid of the one at your friend's house unless that 3 year old starts acting like Damien or something worse. It should be okay.

I'm kind of embarassed that I believe this, but honestly, it happened and despite my hardcore skepticism, I have no other explanation.
I was doing a play (coincidentally, playing a character who is trying to communicate with the ghost of a little girl), and our set had two floors. To get to the upper floor entrances, we had to walk up a dim stairwell and through an old set-building shop. One night, about a quarter of the way into the show, I was walking up the stairwell, with all the other actors already onstage. I suddenly got this incredibly cold feeling, like a really cold wind had hit me (but no feeling of a breeze). It freaked me out, so I turned and looked behind me just as I was entering the shop...all I saw was this black shape about 7 stairs below me with this weird glitter to it.
I pretty much flipped out and went running through the shop and threw myself through the door to the stage, locked the door, and sat there leaning against the back of the set wall shaking. For the rest of the run of shows, I climbed the scaffolding whenever I had to enter from above, rather than using the stairs. I've never been so scared.

My fiance is in the Navy and he spent 2 weeks at home for Christmas. I had just moved into a new place, he had never been here before. After he left, the bedroom light started turning itself on and off in the middle of the night. And twice the bedroom door close and locked itself from the inside. I have found the bathroom toilet seat up numerous times, though no man is in the house. And I think I've seen moving shadows. But as much as it freaks me out, I don't think this creature means me harm. For a while I was worried that I was pregnant after my fiance left. One morning when I woke up I stood in the kitchen and asked myself out loud: "Am I pregnant?" A voice answered me, a man's and it said "No." A week later I learned that I had nothing to worry about, I wasn't pregnant. The light and door thing bother me though.

When hurricane Lilly came through our area in 2002 we could not afford to evacuate.
During the wee hours of the morning I was the only one left awake as the wind howled outside and the branches scraped across the roof.
The barometric pressure had begun to drop some time earlier, and being asthmatic I started having some trouble breathing. I was doing my best not to panic. I didn't want to have to wake up my husband.
Then I began to feel that someone was with me. Trying to comfort me. I just felt instinctively that it was my father who had passed away in June of 1988.
I decided to speak aloud to him. "Daddy", I said, "I'm scared."
All at once I heard a music box begin to tinkle. It played, "He's got the whole world in his hands."
It was an old music box we had salvaged from a figurine which was a favorite of my Dads. When the figurine got broken, we had removed the music box and placed it in a rarely used cabinet above the refrigerator.
Up until that time, it had never played a note. Since then it has never played a note. But it played the entire verse from beginning to end and stopped dead.
I have no proof. And I never actually saw anything, but I'm completely convinced that my father visited me that night.

I grew up in a house with a resident ghost. She wasn't malevolent or anything. I just think she loved the house so much she didn't want to leave.
The place was built in the 1929 as a ranch house and was later occupied and added on to by an eccentric patron of the arts named Mrs. Griffith. She died in the early 1960s. My family moved in in 1966. I believe the ghost was that of Mrs. Griffith.

l got a visit from my grandma after she died. I was in my bedroom and just turned of the light. She appeared and , without using actual words, told me that she was fine and that I didn't need to grieve over her loss. It wasn't scary at all, I felt quite comfortable with her in the room. then she disappeared again. I was eleven at the time and I never thought of ghosts before so I don't think it was wish-full thinking on my part that made her appear.

I've been in touch with a number of them -- been touched by them, seen them, talked with them. But my favorite was the one in my last house. It was the ghost of a CAT!! We had no pets, but we could often see a shadowy cat slipping in and out of our bedroom, down the stairs, etc. Friendly fellow, but a little hard to pet! LOL! On the other hand, it didn't mess in the house -- and I didn't have to feed it or let it out in the middle of the night, either!

never actually saw one but i believe that they do exist. one day i was downstairs in the basement getting ready for work and heard what sounded exactly like someone walking across the floor upstairs, i knew that there was no one else in the house at that time. However my dad past away almost a year before that so i assumed that it was his spirit and when i acknowledged that
i never heard it after that.

When I was 17 I woke up in the middle of the night, in my own room, and saw a man sitting by my bed watching me sleep. He was right next to my bed on the right hand side and was in a yellow rain suit. I wasn't really scared, I just laid there looking at him until he just slowly vanished.
