Does anyone have any genuine ghost stories they would like to share?

Question

Sensible answers please

As i know many of you don't believe in them. I have had a few experiences. So i'd like to hear others who have been in a spooky or weird situation. I'm going to ignore people who just dismiss it as they probably either have a closed mind or they just have had no experience. So if you have any to share. Please do tell.

Answer 1

I have lots&lots...is not enough time..
I will tell you just one...my mum told me this.
My grandmother died when I was very young, I wasn't even walking but my mum said she loved me a lot.
Before she died she told my mum she wishes to live to watch me grow....
A few days or weeks after my grandma died my mum woke up in the middle of the night to realise I am not in bed.When she looked after me she saw me standing up in front of the entrance door and I said: ''Mummy, grandma.....bye, grandma.....bye''
So my mum got really scared because she taught I can see my grandma(who died) and I was telling her ''Good Bye''.
I heard stories before with children being able to see ghosts and maybe I was one of them...
Anyway...in..1990-1991 I think I saw like a shadow of a big man, like a soldier.
That was after a big revolution in my country when many people died.


Also, a few years ago my mum had a scary experience.
She was in a hospital and she went,night time, at the toilet.
When she went in she said she saw something like a white shadow or mist passing by the door.
She said she was scared stiff!
The coincidence makes that the toilet was next to the stairs leading to the morgue.....

Answer 2

(copy and paste time again =P) i believe i have seen a ghost on two possible occasions my old house was in a very rural area and had an old ruin just behind it, the ruin always creeped me out and i could feel an unnerving presence in the house when it got dark. one day i woke up suddenly and saw what i believe was a ghost standing at the foot of my bed. it was a young girl dressed in a victorian looking dress and a bonnet and she was a kind if monochrome colour and pretty blurry though i could see all the detail on her clothing she was standing looking at me and as soon as i met her eyes she disappeared just thinking about it still makes me feel weird... i also saw a shadow outside my bedroom door one night, it was short like a child also at the time i thought it may have been my mum or dad, but seconds after i heard them both talking in a room down the corridor if the shadow had come from one of them then they would have had to pass my open door and i would have seen them as there was a light on there was no one else in the house... i now think it could have been the same girl i saw at the bottom of my bed though at the time i had a feeling i just couldn't shake that it was a young boy

Answer 3

my mum had a scary experience when she was young in an old house by her own when she saw someone pass the corridor ahead but her parents were out and there was noone in the house! I personally do believe in ghosts, or am at least open to the idea of them. It saddens me to think people try to dismiss anything that is out of the ordinary as fake/trick of the light etc.
We are tiny people in a huge universe; how can we assume to know everything about it?

Answer 4

When my family lived in North Yorshire, we lived in a 200+ year old cottage. There was a ghost of an old man in knee britches in the utility room just off the kitchen, he liked to throw cups at my Dad, no-one else, just Dad. In the kitchen and in my bedroom was a ghost of a black labrodor, he was friendly. We also had visits from next door's Grey Lady. The house used to be the villages Post House and Store.
The new owner of the house has completly gutted it and changed the layout, the Old Man in knee britches won't like that.

Answer 5

Here's one for ya: I had spent the night at my sister's house and they had told me about a little red headed girl that her children could see (they were blonde) anyway I was sleeping on an air up mattress one night and got up to go the bathroom. I got back to my bed and just layed down and dosed off, when all of a sudden I felt a little hand grab my wrist, well I jerked awake naturally...then I heard a child laughing in the kitchen (right off the livingroom). I guess she just wanted to play..freaked me out a little..that was the first time one had touched me that was 4 years ago..and since then more paranormal things have happened...if you want to know of a few more..email me...peace and God bless:-)

Answer 6

The South Downs open air museum has a number of houses that have been moved there piece by piece. One is a 15th century house that had been modernised in the 17th century. They didn't know what period to restore it to, so they've left it half and half.

I wandered around the 15th century bit which was cold and dark. Then I got to the 17th century bit which had a large fireplace with a roaring fire tended by what I thought was a member of staff. I sat down next to him and made some comment about the way the house was restored. "It's neither one thing nor the other" he complained in a West Country accent.

Just then my wife caught up with me and asked who I'd been talking to. The man and the fire had disappeared.

Answer 7

I was looking under my bed for something and all of a sudden I felt a drop of water fall from a great height onto my forehead.

I came out from under the bed and automatically looked up, thinking I had a leak in the ceiling. I felt my forehead, it was wet, then it occurred to me - head down under bed forehead facing toward the floor not the ceiling!

-- Strange that my logical mind automatically thought I had a leak in my ceiling.

That is the shortest one I have - genuine phenomena no ghostly figures in the dark, in full electric overhead light.

Strange but true.

Here's one:
A kid is in a haunted house and hears "Blooooody fiiinnngerrrrs!" and follows the voice to a closet and opens the door. A ghost pops up and asks, "Can I have a bandage?"

Answer 9

My grandfather was a preacher in the late forties and he and a colleague were going from village to village delivering sermons to the people. On one of the longer journeys they picked up a hitch hiker, she was young girl and they felt sorry for her and they agreed to take her to the next big town. On the way there they were travelling along road that was quite high up in the hills, mid way through the journey the girl vanished, they were speaking to her one second and the next she had gone. When they got to the next town they were told of a young girl that was murdered 10 years previous on the country road that they picked her up on and was found exactly where the girl vanished from the car.

Answer 10

Years ago my friend was driving along the coast road near Cardiff at night. A jogger appeared in his headlights, but he was too close to stop. The van literally went through the jogger, and my friend said he saw it go past on the inside of the van next to him.It made him go cold.
He arrived at my house very shaken up, and He wasn't the sort of person to make this up, being quite a hard man/criminal type.
