Ever seen a ghost? I had some very strange paranormal experiences at a very old house I grew up in.

A lot of stories I read from are typically from 10-20 years ago and the ghosts are always 'historic'. You would think people would capture more now due to everyone having a smart phone or do people no longer go out as much?

No, had some strange experiences though, yes. I'm firmly in the camp of I have enough bother with the living, without adding the dead though. So I ignore anything like that.

I think Most Haunted and the like did a lot of damage and made it a subject for ridicule.

The supernatural is just science we haven't explained yet.

That doesn't make it "spooky woo". It just makes it unexplained science.

.

There are quite a few books on various techniques which are used to convince others of the supernatural. And even when no one is convincing us, our own minds are unreliable witnesses.

I don't think it's a subject for ridicule at all. I think that for those who have lost loved ones, it's an extremely emotive matter, and in some circumstances can bring hopefully a sense of closure, or comfort. I feel the same towards religion. However, it is personally not for me, and holds zero excitement, nor interest. But I would never tell anyone they should not hold whatever spiritualist beliefs they may. The sad side of it is that some folk can also be taken advantage of via money scams from those seeking answers as well though.

That's possible, there is a theory under the right conditions, some materials, stone can 'capture' and when conditions are right, reply it. Sometimes you can feel the energy out there, like a storm is coming, everything electric.

I am a atheist. While religion MAY have been created to offer some hope, I believe it was seized early on as a tool of control and used extremely well in an age before mass communication.

I mean how else (other then having an army) can you cement your power as a ruler by saying that you were anointed by God and that anyone who says otherwise is a Heretic and should be put to death?

The irony is people were terrified of thier immortal soul more then getting tortured or killed. Today it would be the opposite for the most part.

Belfast

Back in the 80s I was installing equipment in a well known Belfast bar and the assistant manager was helping me to carry it upstairs.

Half way up he screamed really loudly, dropped his end of the equipment and ran up the remaining stairs and left me stuck there trying to support the heavy equipment.

The manager had heard the commotion and came to see what was going on.

After he helped me the rest of the way we went looking for the first guy and found him sitting on the floor in the gents toilets shaking like a leaf.

When we got him calmed down he claimed that as we were going up the stairs a woman had walked out of the wall on one side, passed between us and right through the equipment we were carrying and on through the wall on the other side.

I had seen nothing at all so obviously I thought they were messing with me and it was a wind up but the guy went off on the sick for a few weeks and when he returned he never went up those stairs again. He always used the stairs at the back of the building.

The manager told me that over the years they had dozens of sightings of the same woman by customers and staff in different parts of the building and while he had never seen anything he had experienced a really cold feeling a few times as if something has passed through him.

My nan's old council house was spooky as hell, as a child I wouldn't use the upstairs bathroom without being accompanied across the landing, nan's little dog would sit at the top of the stairs and bark at thin air then run down like it was being chased. The elderly neighbour was sectioned after being obsessed that there were people in her loft trying to steal her belongings, then the 2 kids from the family that moved into the house when my nan moved out came to me at school and told me they thought the house was haunted upstairs. My nan moved into a 400 year old farmhouse that was dark, dusty and full of cobwebs, it had all the things a haunted house needs but there was no spooky feeling at all.

When I was 4 my mum tells me I used to go into their bedroom & say great nan had been to visit me & that she said "she wished she had seen the other one born" (my little brother was 5 days old when she passed) I vividly remember at that age sitting on her knee crying, but obviously couldn't have been as she'd passed when I was two.

It freaked my mum out at the time, it's very strange - maybe I just had a crazy vivid imagination as a child or maybe my memory of sitting on her knee crying is real....who knows?!

Children are more open-minded,

I was around eight years old when I told my mum, my cousin was upstairs. He’d already died that day. My mum remembers that story vividly. I kinda slightly remember him and kinda remember seeing him. But I think it’s only because I’m reminded of it. Because there’s no way my memory, is that good *true story though.

I follow science so I personally believe that when you die you cease to exist. But if you do believe there are ghosts then there is logical reasoning that there could be a Creator.

But there have and are many Scientists that believe in God. One being Blaise Pascal who was a French mathematician, physicist.

Pascal contends that a rational person should adopt a lifestyle consistent with the existence of God and actively strive to believe in God. The reasoning behind this stance lies in the potential outcomes: if God does not exist, the individual incurs only finite losses, potentially sacrificing certain pleasures and luxuries. However, if God does indeed exist, they stand to gain immeasurably, as represented for example by an eternity in Heaven in Abrahamic tradition, while simultaneously avoiding boundless losses associated with an eternity in Hell.

That was back in the early to mid 1600's and Science has moved on considerably so believe there is no such existences.

However, growing up my friends and I did play in many so called haunted houses and it amused me how easy it was to create spooky events lol. Also played a lot the good old louiegy board game. We called it Glassy Glassy lol.

Many stories of those.

I've never been a believer in ghosts or the supernatural until about 18 months ago.

Working nightshift in an old store on Llandudno high Street, secure building only me and another I was working with were there . I was in a scissor lift with my head in a suspended ceiling when all of a sudden there was a massive bang that made the floor shake and then the sound of something being dragged across the floor, I shouted to my mate ,thinking it was him on the floor above but he was working just around the corner. As we both looked at each other open mouthed we heard something running down the escalator and sounded like they jumped from a few stairs up onto the checkerplate at the bottom, the sound was unreal. I practically jumped out the scissor lift, I was genuinely really freaked out as was the lad working with me, suffice to say I didn't finnish what I was doing and sat in the van till day shift started. When we told people the story it seems its not the first time strange things had happened there during the refurbishment.

I'm not generally spooked but this was as real as real gets and glad there was another witness.

My grandmother was washing up in the kitchen of our house, which was 200 years old. She turned around and saw a transparent figure float up the stairs. A lot of strange things happen there over 20 years. I often though of knocking on the door and asking whoever lives there but part of me does not want to see how its changed.

I have a ton of ghost books that I purchased when I visited castles and the like, mostly from the 2000's when such things were sold. Most of the books were probably written in the last 15-40 years. Never hear of ghosts in modern clothing but always from 1980s or before. Wonder why.

I had 'an experience' when I stayed in my Dad's place in the Lakes. He didn't tell me beforehand, that things 'go bump in the night' sometimes in that room, in case it put me off sleeping over, as it didn't happen all the time. Seems I rocked the boat and the 'whatever' felt like putting in an appearance. I didn't see anything, just heard someone walk up the stairs, open the door to my room, then walk past me as I lay in the bed.....

I was a sceptic before this happened.....

I had my bedroom door open by itself, I had my back to the door, turned around thinking it was one of my parents and no none there, before it closed again.

Another time, I opened the same door and was hit by what a could describe as a cold draft. There was no windows open or doors open leading outside.

Yes, about a year ago. I didn't believe in ghosts before this.

My parents live in an old house which was divided in two about 80 years ago.

One morning I am walking down the stairs when a figure in an A line dress, all in grey, walks down a corridor, from a wall which was put in 80 years ago. Then vanishes.

As I said, before then I was sceptical about them. Not any more!

I've experienced something that cannot be explained.... years ago I was part of a restoration on a famous manor house, which became a learning centre. At a function several of us that worked there helped by directing traffic , parking etc when I saw a lady in along white gown at an upstairs window.As the room in question was "off limits" I asked the lead member of staff who was mucking about.. only to be taken into a different room and shown a painting from the 1800's oof what looked like the lady I had seen, only to be told she died in that room .

I saw a ghost years ago, actually me my two cousins saw it. It was in an old derelict house we went in for a mooch around, stairs collapsed, roof caved in, totally uninhabitable. Anyway when we left we were sitting on a fence about 6 feet from the door when an old lady with short gray hair was just staring through the window next to the door. We shit ourselves and ran.

The house was just over the boundary fence to a primary school field I used to walk my dog.

Years later when I met my now ex wife we were walking the dog on the field. As we approached the house I started to tell her the story. She stopped me in my tracks before I gave any of the story away and went on to tell me about her and a couple of mates going into the house one day during school. She had attended that she primary school. She described the same woman in the same window which she said appeared after they’d left and that was about 10 years before I’d seen it.

No doubt in my mind that it was a ghost, we’d been inside and looked around the whole house. It’d been empty since the war apparently.

Another story I have was that I went camping with some friends in private woodland in July 2004. I am not sure if it was a scheduled Blood Moon or if it just happened due to circumstances.

All the animals in the woods just went completely mental as the Moon turned red, screaming and I have never experienced anything like it before or since.

Well it looked like she was staring right at me as I was sitting on the fence right in front of the window.

The house isn’t still there, it was knocked down in the late 90’s and a big house built on the plot.

I knew the people who lived in the new house and told them the story, their house wasn’t where the old house was though, only a pond sat where the old house was and part of the driveway.

Could be the land. Lets say a Merchant in the 1600's is rob and murdered in woodland while traveling. 500 years later a housing estate is built on the land and one of the houses built over his 'grave' experiences paranormal activity because his grave was disturbed etc.

Damn quite a story. I wonder if she was seen after the house was destroyed or if thats what tied it there.

I've never had any sort of supernatural experience and with the amount of security cameras, Ring doorbells, phone cameras etc there should be a lot more evidence of ghosts so I'm a bit sceptical but... I worked with a guy who lived in an old Victorian terrace who swore blind he would see a young girl in oldie-timey clothes appear and disappear in the close every now and then

That's what I was thinking and a lot of the images you do see always appear so bad.

Apparently people don't go out as much as they did on late night drives. When a lot of things were usually experienced.

A lot of the stories, it seems to happen when people least expect it and it only last for seconds, so they don't react fast enough.

I had another experience but didn’t see anything, just heard and felt it.

Me and the missus were going to bed, she was pottering about doing what women do before bed.

I started drifting off but then felt like I was pinned to the bed and a horrible grunting or growling noise was behind me. I couldn’t move or speak but was fully conscious, I could hear my wife brushing her teeth and was willing her to come in, it went on for about 30 seconds before I heard the tap go off and the wife come in, as soon as she did it stopped and I was free again. Scared the shit out of me. I jumped out of bed and the wife saw how freaked out I was but she just got in bed and told me to stop being dramatic.

Only happened the once, I’m still in the same house and the wife has gone. Nothing like that has happened since and I don’t get any weird feelings in the house.

"I had another experience but didn’t see anything, just heard and felt it.

Me and the missus were going to bed, she was pottering about doing what women do before bed.

I started drifting off but then felt like I was pinned to the bed and a horrible grunting or growling noise was behind me. I couldn’t move or speak but was fully conscious, I could hear my wife brushing her teeth and was willing her to come in, it went on for about 30 seconds before I heard the tap go off and the wife come in, as soon as she did it stopped and I was free again. Scared the shit out of me. I jumped out of bed and the wife saw how freaked out I was but she just got in bed and told me to stop being dramatic.

Only happened the once, I’m still in the same house and the wife has gone. Nothing like that has happened since and I don’t get any weird feelings in the house. "

I believe that's called 'Night Hag'. Some people have experienced a haggish old woman sat on them and they are unable to move. Other times they don't see anything. Apparently means your body was asleep but not your mind.

Nah, that’s just what I used to say to the wife before going to sleep. “Night hag”

No idea why she left me

One theory I've heard is that when you see a ghost you aren't actually seeing a ghost but it's a window in time and you are seeing people in their own time going about their daily lives.

When they pass through objects they are simply going through a door that exists in their time.

Apparently an example of this that a number of people witnessed was a group of Roman soldiers seen marching on a stretch of road somewhere in England but could only be seen from the knees up as they were marching on the old Roman road that was a couple of feet beneath the existing one.

Yes. A Ghost cat, which was so realistic it was hard to differentiate from reality. And heard lots of noise, creaking footsteps on stairs, voices, etc.

"I don’t want to see a ghost

It’s the sight that I fear most

You'd rather eat a piece of toast?

Halfway up the lamp post

After I've had a Sunday roast"

Before heading to the coast

I thought that was a story from York?

I guess that's the reason to why ghosts sometimes have no feet or appear floating because the ground/floor has changed from when they were alive.
