As long as they lived there they saw the figures, but only one at a time. Always female. Sometimes a little girl, sometimes a woman, different ages at different times. One day they started referring to the figures as Maria. They all had the feeling it was the same person/figure, just at different points in life.Not my story, but a friends. They moved into an old house but didn't know any details. They had a couple pets including two cats. The cats were kinda personable but in the house would sometimes ignore the family like they would if someone else was there. the cats kept following around nothing like they would a person. One day the youngest kid was telling his parents about the person the cats were following. the parents asked the kid to point it out or describe it, he only could if his eyes were closed. So he did and he pointed to a spot in the room. Within moments the two cats came into the room and stared at the same spot. kid would shut his eyes, move his hand, and the cats would mirror the movement.
the family started thinking it was weird, but didn't think too much of it. Then one night the three other members all recalled "seeing" the figure when they shut their eyes, but they were all in separate rooms, but knew the figure was in a specific spot.
they lived there for years, never had any real issues or scares or anything. Youngest stopped reliably seeing the figure at 10. but then all 4 would have simultaneous "spottings" of the figure at various times.
Very interesting stuff. I love these stories.As long as they lived there they saw the figures, but only one at a time. Always female. Sometimes a little girl, sometimes a woman, different ages at different times. One day they started referring to the figures as Maria. They all had the feeling it was the same person/figure, just at different points in life.
so they lived there until their oldest, my friend, went off to college, they sold the house back a family member of the people they bought it from. a couple years later they were back in town and talked with the people they sold it to and asked about the history of the house, but avoided saying anything about the ghost/figure. It had been in the family's hand for a long time, sometimes a cousin, sometimes a brother. They asked if there was any bad history there, was anyone killed there? No, no one was killed, but the owner asked them why they asked. They told them about the figure, but didn't mention the name. the owner said "Oh then you saw Maria".
that freaked them out. Owner went on to say it was a family tradition to name the oldest granddaughters after their grandmothers name. They had several Maria's and several Beths. But one of the Maria's died as a very young baby. The owner family always assumed it was Maria they saw, but said no guests had ever seen her, and thought it was just a trick of the mind because they knew the story.
There’s an old thread buried deep somewhere here with good stories. I had a legit encounter as a child and then a couple as a teenager/young adult that could be explained away as sleep paralysis, I guess. Still was pretty crazy stuff.
You assume that we "should" see them. I don't believe in them myself, but your argument is flawed in its assumption of how ghosts "should" act. to be fair, I think most ghost hunters make the same mistake, but I think a lot of them are doing it for profit.I don't believe in ghost, because of math.
Rant incoming.
There are close to 8 billion people in the world. There have been billions and billions more throughout the eons our species has existed. If even if 1/10 of 1 percent become ghosts, we should be tripping over them. There shouldn't be any doubt if they exist.
Their numbers should be 6 figures at least, and that's a conservative estimate. Combine that with us knowing places that should have a higher population of them, cities, battlefields, hospitals, ect. Europe should be crawling with them after 2 World Wars. The math just doesn't add up.
It doesn't stop ghost stories from being fun though.

everyone may not become ghosts. All ghosts may not be seen/experienced. all ghosts may not be permanent/repeats, all people may not be able to see them, either for some type of genetic trait, or something tying them to a specific ghost. if they exist they exist in some manner that goes beyond our established rules of physics so its not like our technology would be much of a help in seeing them either.
About 9 years ago I was sound asleep but woke up with the eerie feeling of someone/something else in the room other than my wife and I. Fell back to sleep just a few minutes later. Woke up again (positive it wasn’t a dream) with the inability to speak or move as if something was doing this to me. This only lasted a few moments, however, it felt like eternity. My wife shook me and the oppression was gone. She said she heard me grunting/mumbling like I was trying to scream with a pillow on my head. Never been terrified or scared before until that night.
Not to turn this thread into a debate about the demonic, but I've had this happen as well. It was an afternoon nap at a home I lived in in North Carolina. The secular world has tried to give a scientific explanation to this called sleep paralysis and tried to explain what causes it, but they still admit they are not sure. I can tell you with no doubt it was demonic. Whatever it was, I could see its face and it was terrifying. I had always heard to mention "Jesus" when it happens but I couldn't breathe, but I was finally able to choke it out and it disappeared in an instant. Then I strangely felt totally calm.
Craziest thing I've ever experienced.
