"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. | |||

"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. " 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. | |||

"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." 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've had a few strange experiences over the years especially in the house I'm in now. Nothing negative or nasty just odd xxxx " That's was the same with mine. Sometimes it was days, weeks, months or years between things happening. | |||

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. | |||

"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?! Mrs " 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 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." The 'ghosts' I've seen were in modern clothing. | |||

"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..... " Oh crap, I'd be shitting myself!! | |||

" 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. | |||

"Not seen one first hand, but The White Lady of Baglan is quite well known about locally. My mum was very ill and in bed, when according to my mum The White Lady came out of the wardrobe, and my mum went to go towards her, but The White Lady kept pushing her back. Next thing according to my mum she just disappeared, but somehow my mum got miraculously better like nothing had been wrong with her. There's a few stories about The White Lady of Baglan, and anytime something goes missing in the house, we always say, "The White Lady has been back here again!"" WOW that's amazing!!!! | |||

"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. " Did she look at you or just looking out? Be interesting if the house is still about. | |||

"They don't have to be old houses. I call them echoes of the past." 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. | |||

"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. " 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 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. | |||

"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." I heard this was on the Fosse way | |||

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. | |||
