Once upon a time I would have said no, and called anyone who said they had a crack pot. ButGǪ wellGǪ I have been forced to change my opinion on this.
When I was about 20 years old my family had moved from a state in the northern united states, down to Florida. I recall sitting around my grandparents back porch table, waiting for our new house to get built and mentioning that I had some weird things happen to me in our previous house. I vividly recall the expression that simultaneously rose on mother, my sister and my brotherGÇÖs face after I said that. Evidently I was not the only one who had experienced strange occurrences.
Way Before Ghost Hunters Aired On The Sci-Fi Channel
I recall being in my lower floor with my sister. We were doing laundry and my mother, her boyfriend at the time, and my brother were out getting groceries. It was a piggly wiggly, being that we were in a one horse town at the time LOL.
I recall a sound that came from up stairs, and at first I didnGÇÖt pay it any mind. After the third time it got both mine and my sisters attention. She asked me is someone up stairs? I said no and went up to check. No one was there. This happened a second time, and so I checked again. Nobody was home. After a few minutes, what I can only describe as a female voice yelling disjointed syllables (or perhaps yelling hey!) seemed to call down from just above the stairs. It was very real, very loud and tbh it freaked me out.
Two Years Later...
We were moving to Florida and packing our stuff. By this time I was a bit put off about the occurrences that I had there (but this was also before I realized that my dysfunctional family were experiencing the same thing) and so I was trying to be a grown up and not worry about it.
I remember taking a box upstairs and walking past my sister who was packing downstairs. I put the box in the U haul truck and came back down. When I did she had this wide eyed look of sheer flight or fight terror on her face. She asked me if I was just there, down stairs and in the doorframe to the room. And I said no. (everyone was upstairs I had just walked passed them) She claims that she saw a shadow standing in the doorframe. Not just a shadow on a wall, but a physical black shadow form.
Even though my family was dysfunctional, my sister and I always had a close relationship. She is a rational sort and has never been prone to bullshit, let alone directed towards me. So personally, I am forced to believe her... if not the uncharacteristic expression of adrenaline that she was wearing. That really sticks in my mind.
A number of years later, Ghost Hunters appears on the Sci-Fi channel. I realize that the experiences that we had were not unique in the world. I also learned that what my sister described actually had a name. People seem to call it a shadow figure.  EEEP!! WTF srsly.
In conclusion
This is just some random account to you, but for me a number of rather bizarre experiences such as these redefined the way that I see the world. Especially since every member of my dysfunctional family had greatly differing, yet similarly freaky accounts.
And yes, someone did die in that house. One of my motherGÇÖs friends had a long time heart condition and it gave out in her sleep on the family room floor.
So take this for what it is, I was just wondering if any of you had similar experiences that made you reconsider the ever growing popularity of puritan atheist/scientific perspectives in our modern day society.

You believe in ghosts but you can't accept that I've seen a ghost but don't believe in ghosts? Silly, silly, human.
I was a kid at ball practice when a teammate said he saw a ghost in a basement chapel. When I looked through the window I saw a very translucent, somewhat faint, ghost make a circuit of the chapel, cross over to the altar, and pick up a ghostly image of the crucifix. I was pretty sure of what I saw.
Given that I was an impressionable young kid at the time, that I remember having to use my hand to block the sun's reflection so I could see through the window, and that the ghost's shape had that bedsheet as a ghost costume look, I'm going to chalk that one up to a trick of the light and an overactive imagination.
If you can't accept that contradictions aren't always contradictory, then you're going to find yourself surprised often in life.

Post one had no content, post two did. So I guess now I'll say have a nice day.
Next please.
P.S. Yes, what you saw could obviously be a play of light. Especially if people were about playing with balls and running around at the time.

I'm of the opinon that there are no such things as ghosts in the traditional sense. When you die, you die. that doesnt mean that spirit creatures dont exist. Usually if you beleive in god, you also accept the fact that there are angels and demons as well and the earth is a fav hangout for them.

Well Atticus Fynch, I don't think that qualifies as an experience? That is simply your utterly random belief, through which you have attained through some other means then personal experience.

gosh, who watches TV nowadays....
As for ghosts.. no one has the balls to admit anything and face ridicule.
I had a profound experience, it did definitely change my opinion about after dead people. I think they're out there, you just have to have it happen to you to understand it. and that's why it's not a comfortable or open topic for people.

I grew up in a home with alot of problems. I wont go into the details but in that house there were alot of unusal occurances. Strange noises. Doors slamming. And alot of unusally bad luck. Things that you may well explain away somehow put for this one event:
One evening an alcoholic occupant started screaming something about his shoes. My mom rushed into his room to see what the issue was expecting it to be nothing...after all he was a drunk.
She caught the tail end of it....on the floor, his shoes were moving on their own as if someone where in them . They stopped right after she came in. She never forgot that. We found out that the previous tenant of the house practiced witchcraft there. There was just something wrong with that place. Life improved after we moved out. True story.

Not a personal account, but I can buy that.
In that case your account is not dissimilar from my own. A house, a strangeness noticed throughout the family and an ending once you left. Thx!

When you read about the cases of demon possession in the bible, there is always a corrolation. Sin leaves a vaccuum that normally God would occupy. That vacuum is then occupied by demons.
Modern movies have done an injustice to the whole concept of demon possession. You dont necessarily need to have your head spinning around while you spit up pea soup to be possessed. Something like alcohlism (and many diseases) can be a form of demon possession. It's interesting that AA works by acknowledging God in its treatment.
Houses seem susceptible to this as well based onthe actions of their occupants.
I think that many things people believe to be ghosts are demons and the state of the world is making the earth more and more accessible to them. IMO.

That only works if believe that "ghosts" are the disembodied spirits of deceased people. When the term "ghost" is used a catch all terms for several (often unrelated) unusual occurrences explaining things takes a little more effort. There is everything from spontaneous and uncontrolled psychokinesis for poltergeists to T.C Lethbridges "tape recorder" theory for visual phenomena. Some theory's have tried to include modern theoretical physics into explanations by attributing visions and disappearances into people or things slipping into or passing through dimensional barriers or into the folded quantum dimensions.
Whether any of that stuff is bullshit or not is for somebody to judge for themselves though, the lack of evidence either way is interesting however. |

I don't really buy all that jazz TBH, but alternatively, I do find it interesting when people score an EVP (electronic voice phenomena) and it sounds like some horror flick thing growling. They say "Awww, look it's trying to communicate" and I am like... "Umm... that's not what that sounds like to me LOL"

I am actually quite a believer in spirits and I've had 3 experiences with plenty of witnesses in each instance.
The first time I was something like 7 or 10 and was having a sleep over at my neighbors house. Their house and mine were built the same where they are split levels and the lower floor is a sub basement with full size windows. There was six of us in the rear bedroom just sitting around talking when we heard a single sudden knock on the window and when we looked up at it we very clearly saw one of those ventriloquist dummies from the 40's standing there staring at us (the old ovalish head and limbs made of wood). We ended up in the upstairs bedroom on top of the upper bunk, all 6 of us, and we stayed there until morning. I learned years later that the land the houses were on used to be part of a old junkyard (what was left of it was actually a couple lots down which we played in often).
The 36th st house is my most memorable. When my friend and I moved out on our own we shacked up with another couple friends in that house and eventually the lease was handed over to us while they moved out. The first thing they told us about was the ghost and every friend that we had over had an experience with it at some point. One time 3 of us were in the living room just chatting away when one buddy pointed at the side door. We watched the handle turned in both directions a couple of times and finally the door slowly opened all the way before slamming shut again with nobody there. Another buddy was in the bathroom when he got a dose of that EVP you mention. He said he thought somebody was at the window with a walkie talkie or something. My friend and I got another EVP session through my guitar amp one day in the living room and the thing wasn't even plugged in; we just laughed about it and he made a comment that I was getting really good at guitar. I also got a EVP through my pc speakers in my bedroom.
We did figure out that the spirit was female as it spoke to us in our sleep as well. Yeah seems really wacky but hey it saved me from being late to work once as it told me to wake up to which I immediately snapped awake. It also asked my buddy once where I was while he was sleeping, to which he said 'I don't know' (he talks in his sleep a lot and you can have some really funny convo's with him). After the other friends moved out we converted the last bedroom into a game room for our warhammer army battles and we had a 6x8 table back there that usually had a lot of dice on it, and I can't tell you how many times the entire gang would be in the living room chatting and we'd stop to listen to the sound of dice being rolled. Other than that we had a dumbbell roll across the living room one day (from standstill) and lots of footsteps, usually to the point where you have to get up and do a lap around the house just to make sure somebody isn't actually there.
Edit: forgot to mention the dog. My friend acquired a purebred rottie pup from an uncle while we lived here. There were a number of times where we'd catch her watching something very intently with her eyes and she'd follow it across the living room. If it went into the dining kitchen area she'd get up to chase it but it'd be gone.
The last experience was actually right in the same time period at the pizza place I was working at. There was always me, my manager, and a gal that work the day shift and usually it was right after the lunch rush that we would experience things. Most notable was a time when the 2 of them were in the kitchen and I was on the customer side of the counter, and we were just chatting away the time when the speaker above me had a serious EVP session (sounded like electronic barking/yelling). Scared the living crap out of the girl. The other memorable moment was when I was eating lunch back in the banquet room while watching tv. Right behind the tv was one of our storage rooms which had windows (used to be the old office). The windows had blinds that were always shut. Well like I said I was watching tv when I glanced over towards the windows only to see a pair of eyes staring back at me through the blinds. I left my lunch back there and made it back to the kitchen in about 2 seconds. Told my manager if that I was done with lunch early and asked him if he would be kind enough to go get my plate. Never ate back there again.
People can call me crazy all they want but I know what I've seen and so do my friends. I'm sure there could be an explanation for it all like old building design, crossed electrical signals, parents with a strange fetish for creepy dolls.....but there are still many things that can't be explained yet. |

There are some interesting psychological tests that show the disconnect every human has with their senses and the way we then fill in the gaps, cross reference the results to memory and then apply meaning based on individual pre conceptions, biases and beliefs.
This accounts for a lot reports of paranormal events, even then they don't account for all of them. |

If you believe in ghosts you are ******** Your opinion however is crap, being that you have drawn to ridiculous conclusions based on no evidence beyond your tiny imagination. Since this is a personal experience thread, I will now picture myself slapping you and making you cry. Ahhh... that was satisfying.
You made a thread about ghost stories and then you say this?
You're hilarious.
The statement isn't put forward with evidence because it's not a point he needs to prove. It's very sound logic that stands alone just fine. Hundreds of billions of human beings have died, and given our history it's very fair to say plenty of them died violently, angrily, or otherwise unwilling to move on. Religion has practiced rituals in every culture since before recorded history. If ghosts were real they would be a bit more common, and they would be getting more common as population rises.
Even if you used famous haunting stories as a benchmark for the possibility of some maximum age/time a spirit lasts, any old city like Rome, Moscow, or London would still have more haunted buildings than unhaunted at this point.
IMHO
The problem isn't that people do or don't believe in ghosts. The problem is when they see something they can't explain they jump to miracles, aliens, ghosts, and monsters. (Or government conspiracies) Once they do that they start filling in the blanks for themselves. Strange sounds or lighting you might try to explain, but once you have it in your head that it was a ghost or a conspiracy to fool you, you don't WANT to explain it and your mind accepts the assumption as reasonable when it's obviously not. |

Cry moar VKhaun Vex, this is a thread about experiences that people have had that have change their perspective on the purely scientific view of reality that you are trumpeting.
So a thread about ghosts, is not the same as a thread about experiences that made people reconsider the nature of their reality. You need to read better, and learn to be more specific when attempting to reason scientifically. A collection of such accounts can be just as scientific as anything else, for one simple reason... real or not real, they were still experienced and they are things that transcend cultures around the world. Asking why this happens, and asking what people experienced, is as legitimate of a scientific endeavor as anything else, period.
I am fascinated by the fact that my sister claims to have described a shadow person, long before we had access to the internet and long before ghost hunting existed on TV. It is a real phenomena, whether it is created by the mind or you claim that it is an inter-dimensional astronaut fairy from hobbit land. The experience is real and it is foolhardy to deny that.

I've seen and heard a lot of things I or the people with me can't explain. I think, this is my personal opinion, That if your looking to find paranormal experiences, you won't find them. Somewhat like when you go to the movie, if the marquee says comedy, you expect to laugh. Horror, you expect to get the hell scared out of you. How many people have been taken by the photo or "real ghost caught on film" and the Linda Blair exorcist screaming head popped up?

I have no problem telling my stories, none of them are bullshit or trolling. I feel this way about the stories, you can believe me or not, I won't lose sleep either way.
Some of my stories are short one liners that if a person wasn't paying attention they would never notice. One example is I was house sitting for a friend and I was laying on the couch reading a book when I heard a sneeze in the bathroom down the hall. I said bless you and I heard a woman say: Thanks. A minute later it dawned on me that my friend had left about a hour ago and I was the only one in the house. I checked the house and no one was there. I called my friend and told him about it and he said oh, I see you met Sneezy.
I live in the Southeast part of Tennessee. This area has it's fair share of battlefields, Cherokee Trail of Tears, people being hanged for having the wrong paint job. Because of that it seems like there is more stories of "things". Doors being opened while being locked, shadows out of the corner of your eye and when you look there is nothing there but your mind is telling you a little girl was there.
One time my Mom and Dad let a couple of my friends sleep over so we could watch a horror show that used to come on during the 60's and 70's called: Shock Theater. The show for that night was Creature from the Black Lagoon. We used to laugh at the movies kinda like Mystery Science theater 3k. As we were laying down one of the guys said you really want to be scared? and begin to tell us of tuning a AM radio to static and ask it questions, "something" would answer you. We laughed nervously, Right, Man..you almost had me, your pulling my leg, was our responses. He talked us into trying it out and at first we were joking and asking pre-pub questions and suddenly one of the boys got pale and said: did you hear that? it sounded like it said my name. We asked the radio if it said his name and through the static a distinctive Yes was heard.
I don't remember who yelled first in terror but my Dad came running into the bedroom and wanted to know what was going on. All of us begin talking at once stumbling over each others conversation where it was a jumble of scared jabber. When my Dad finally got us to calm down and tell him what happened, His eyes got real big and he turned pale and threw the radio out the window, called the parents and said pick them up now and I wasn't allowed to have another sleepover. My Dad told me later of people he used to know that played with Ouija boards and EVP and "things" happened to them.
I went to a party one night and everyone was feeling good and the music was bumping when someone went to their car and brought back a Ouija board and I didn't notice it until I saw people sitting in a circle laughing and drinking when I walked up and saw it I went for the door as fast as my feet could take me. As I was walking out I heard a guy ask: Who of us is going to die first. I looked back and saw it was Jeff, a close friend who asked the question. I closed the door and walked home. Five days later I was at Jeff's funeral and the people who were there told me what happened after I left. After Jeff asked the question one of the people goosed (tickled) a girl and she jumped and yelled and everyone laughed. They couldn't find the pointer, or whatever it's called until someone looked under Jeff's seat, it was pointing straight up. Three days later he was thrown from a pickup and it rolled over him.
I don't look into mirrors at night anymore, It's better to not know what's looking back at you. I listen to neighbors who tell me that house is haunted, you don't want to rent it after living in a house for 7 weeks and moving out breaking a 6 month lease and losing a $500 dollar deposit. I do research on a house before moving into it, I can handle crime, I can handle a train crossing 200 yards from my house and the engineer starts blowing the horn, I can't handle after getting the keys from my landlord: Oh, by the way, you can't have any pets there. When I ask why not, it's not in the lease is it? No said the Landlord, they just don't live more then a month..K ? Bye! In three months I lost three pets, all of them with their necks broken at the bottom of the basement stairs.
Now I hear you saying, hey dumbass, close the door! The door had 3 bolt locks (for a inside door, with no exit to the outside) that you had to use the key to open the lock, it didn't have a knob on either side. The first pet it took me almost 4 hours to find. I was whistling and calling his name outside and my neighbor asked if I had checked the basement, that's where they are most the time. I unlocked the door and there he was at the bottom of the stairs, dead. my neighbor and I looked to see if there was anyway the pet could have got in, there wasn't. I got another pet and just over 3 weeks it disappeared, first place I looked was the basement and there it was, with a broken neck. The third pet I kinda, ok no, no I don't feel bad. my sister had an annoying ****-zu aka walking dust mop, she asked if I could watch it for a week or two while on vacation even though she heard the previous pet's demises. Sure I can watch it and this time I put up a video camera with a 12 hour tape in it. I went to bed, woke up the next morning, no dog, opened the door, there it was at the bottom of the stairs, dead. I watched the footage and never heard or saw a thing. |

I'm of the logical and "scientific" type and before I jump to conclusions of aliens, ghosts, demons etc I always try to figure out a rational explanation for unexplained events I have witnessed. However, I am a firm believer in ghosts as I have seen, heard, and felt them many times.
The land I live on used to be part of an Indian (Native American) settlement and I can't recount how many times I've been laying in bed at night and can hear faint drums/chanting. No. not like rock and roll drums I'm talking the old drums you hear Indians playing in western movies. When we first moved in I thought it was the neighbors but they lived almost 1000ft away and they were an older (65+) couple so I didn't see why they would be drumming at 2am or how I could hear it like it was in the room with me. They moved out a few months after we moved in but the drumming still happens.
I also have heard the sound of "footsteps" walking up our stairs when I was the only one home. There have been times when I have lost my keys and after searching all over the house I walk into a room and they are laying on the floor in the middle of the room (kinda hard to miss a set of keys laying on a white tile floor). I have seen "shadow people" move out the corner of my eye. The first time that happened scared the **** out of me and still does.
I have heard talking in other rooms of our house when I was home alone. And even had the "pleasant" experience of watching TV one night and getting the feeling someone was watching me so I got up and searched the house to make sure no one was there and looked out the windows to make sure there wasn't someone casing my house to rob it. Everything seemed fine until something behind me said "Help me." Yep, that sent shivers up my spine.
I think the best case I have for ghosts is one night I was driving home. The road near our house is next to a steep hill with a winding road and every couple of months someone loses control of their car or is driving drunk and ends up dying. Just 2 months back a college student was killed driving drunk when his car flipped and caught fire. But anyway the night I was driving home I saw what looked like a girl walking across the road but they were very faint and I thought it might just be fog and my imagination was playing tricks on me and didn't think nothing of it and continued on my way. About half and hour later my brother walks in with tears streaming down his face and since he never cries I immediately think something bad happened. I asked he why he was crying and he said saw a ghost in the road and once he passed it he just started crying and couldn't stop. I asked what it looked like and he said it looked like a girl but he could see through her. I was like HOLY ****!! Turns out that previous winter there was a night with freezing rain and a girl lost control of her car on black ice and was killed in that very spot. |

I don't believe in ghosts, but I certainly believe our perception is far more malleable and creative than we generally take it for. And in the power of Hallucinations. No, I'm not talking just about the kinds that may be attributed to substance abuse, but the kinds we may engage in because of a brain fart, or self-sugestion under certain circumstances, even if subcounciously so.
Schizophrenics are very well acquainted with hallucinatory experiences of course, but even normal healthy brains can and do experience them now and then.
I've had a couple of them, both when I was a teenager, but since I've never believed in ghosts or been concerned about them, my hallucinations had to do with something else I personally always had some sort of irrational fear of: large spiders / critters in my living quarters.
On one occasion I very clearly saw a spider as big as my hand crawling down the curtains in my room. Nevermind that this was at a frozen ski resort 3000 meters above sea level, and that as much me and my friends searched around the room afterwards, never saw it again. I don't attribute it to it being a "ghost tarantula" though, just to my brain having some sort of fart.
On another occasion I saw, again completely clearly, a huge centipede crawling across the room and hiding under my bed. Again, as much as I searched afterwards it never showed up, and in my area such critters simply have never been seen.
Not a ghost, just a hallucinatory episode. Sounds far less glamorous, but there you go.
