I have never seen a ghost. I try and stay in "haunted" places often. Never works out for me. Maybe they aren't real....

i think i've posted about my brothers experience earlier in thread. i'll tell it again from what i remember.

my brother was 16, he and my dad were at my grandparents house the wkend before thanksgiving. my brother was outside working with my granddad. he went to put up a ladder came back and found my grandfather who had a heart attack and was pretty much gone. him and my dad performed cpr until the ambulance could get there. needless to say he didn't make it. i came home and my brother was doing pretty good considering the fact. however the next nite he didn't want to sleep. he wouldn't say what happened until several months later. he said that he woke up(he made it very clear that it wasn't a dream, and that he was awake) in the middle of the night and his door was open and our granddad was standing in the door. he said that he laughed bc my bro was freaked(which doesn't surprise me). he told my brother not to worry, he was ok. my brother said he was there for a few minutes and then went away. the look on his face when he told me what happened, made me believe him. he said it happened to him a couple of more times then it stopped.

I don't rule out ghosts and hauntings. I will however say I think the vast majority of stories about them are not real. I don't mean I think people are lying but that what they experienced wasn't a haunting but real conditions that they let their minds turn into a "haunting".

For instance people say they feel like they were "grabbed" by something. I've had spasms in my back and shoulders before that straight up felt like someone grabbed me but I know it wasn't. And these shows on TV are complete crap. I used to like to watch Ghost Hunters but I'm pretty convinced how much of a fraud they are. Go to YouTube and search on Ghost Hunters fake or hoax and you'll see what I mean.

I've only ever had two experiences that I would deem paranormal. One is too long to type and the other happened at a VERY old school here in Chattanooga. Some friends and I were organizing a classroom for a teacher at a school that's over 100 yrs old on a saturday. When we first walked in I got an eerie feeling about the place. I just felt uncomfortable. We were in the hallway organizing some papers when I kept hearing children laughing. I asked my friends if they'd heard it too and they said no. Right at that moment we heard a faucet turn on. I got up and went to the girls bathroom and two faucets were on.

About an hour later I heard the laughing again this time closer and accompanied by whispering. My friend heard it this time and we set off to look for whoever made the sound. There was no one else in the building. We continued to hear giggles and whispers for the rest of the day and we ALL felt like someone was watching us.

The creepiest place I've ever been was the old meat packing plant outside of Statesboro. We went in the middle of the summer when it was still in the 90s at night. Where the freezer is, and where 4 bodies were found in the 70s or so when they shut the place down, walked around the corner, no power in the place but in that one little area the temp dropped to where we could see our breath.

I'm calling you a liar on the seeing your breath thing, based on fluid dynamics and atmospheric science.

If it were 90 degrees at night it would be extremely humid. If it were actually cold enough to "see" your breath, the air itself would also be cooled to saturation and there would be fog- so you wouldn't see your breath, rather a foggy room.

Your story is bs.

I go to college in one of the most haunted cities in America, Athens, OH. I've never seen or heard anything, I don't really believe in them anyway.

However, one of my professors is obsessed with ghosts and spirits and tells all kinds of stories about hearing stuff and seeing them pictures. He's a cool dude.

Been to Charleston, I believe it. Gettysburg was a creepy place too, walking where thousands of people died is just a weird feeling.

I don't know if this was a paranormal or ghostly experience, but defiantly strange...

I don't remember when it was but I remember I was very young (probably 5 or 6 years old or younger) and I was lying in my bed one night. The bed was directly under a window and it was like a light had been turned on outside and the light shown through the window and hit a wall to the left of me in my room. It was a small, square area of light about the size of a 11x14 picture frame. In the light I saw the silhouette of people in colonial dress walking back and forth, some were even dancing like at a party. I was not at all scared and I remember watching it for a little while until I fell asleep.

There's been numerous TV shows about hauntings here, some are on youtube.

There is a place called the Ridges that's a part of campus. It has an abandoned insane asylum as well as an abandoned tuberculosis ward, where people with TB went to die. Many stories originate there.

Guess the most famous is this:
"The most famous of these concerns Margaret, a deaf-mute patient who supposedly escaped from her room, accidentally became trapped in an abandoned ward, and eventually died of exposure. Her decomposing body was found weeks later, and supposedly the stain that was left on the floor of the ward can still be seen today."

And then there's stories of people seeing blood still dripping from the walls.

If you Google Athens, OH haunted or Ohio University haunted, there are many stories on the interwebs.

I have heard this happening to several people, me included. Not long after my grandpa died, bout a year I guess, I had an unreal experience. I never, and I mean NEVER, sleep with my door open. Even as a kid living at home with the parents, if I was in my room, my door was shut. I woke up in the middle of the night, to what I thought was a dream, to see my grandpa standing there in my door way with my door wide open. He began to speak to me and tell ask me how I was, and how our family was. I spoke to him like he was standing there in living flesh. I woke up, sat straight up in bed, my door was wide open, my tv was on, and I had a severe case of cold sweats going on. It was very creepy. Still to this day, nothing like that has happened to me since.

I was only about 12 when he died. I was a paul bearer and remained standing there (as directed) while his casket was lowered after his funeral.

The weirdest part about this, I was having a real hard time with it for awhile and that evening before I went to bed, I was talking with my mom (very upset) about not being able to say goodbye and tell him that I loved him before he passed. He showed up that very same night. Since that night, I have never felt the lack of closure with him that I had felt for so long after he died.

My only experience I recall is more gaurdian angel related, but I rear ended a vehicle on the interstate doing about 50 while slowing down for other wrecks. Toyota 4x4, no seat belt. Head hit windshield, but I know I felt pressure on my shoulders like something was holding me back. I should have gone through like a bullet. I'm not one normally mentally open or intune to the stuff, but I don't discount it. My sister is very active in experienceing things. Also, my brother in law has family in Atlanta who always had things going on in there house. Rocking chair in upstairs windowless room always rocking. Seeing someone appear inside back door at kitchen when retrieving midnight snacks from fridge. Closed the door, he was there in a hat and trench coat. She asked him what he was doing there. Looked away and looked back and he was gone. Dead bolts were locked.

I vividly remember as a child, maybe 6 or 7, going to bed one night but never really sleeping well and feeling somewhat anxious the whole night. I remember rolling around in bed and thinking someone (or something) was standing over me, but I was too scared to open my eyes. It was really scary, but the weird thing was that when I actually woke up in the morning there was money under my pillow where I had placed a tooth that had finally come loose earlier that same day.

Never really figured out how that happened... very strange???

One year my grandmother passed away when I was young on Halloween night. So her anniversary is coming up soon. But anyways we went to the funeral in tenn and me and my family drove home the next day. I went upstairs to my room and as soon as i stepped inside of it my room began to smell like her aroma. It smelt just like her so strongly for a good 2 min, I screamed for my parents to come upstairs and smell it but as soon as they came in the smell vanished. I knew it was her for a fact and he made me very happy. It was like her way of saying good bye to me =)




Ps: Another time when I was 6 years old I had a Lego set right next to my bed, it was dark and I could not see clearly but I heard my lego peices moving and turned over to look beneath my bed and I was staring at my lego peices moving right in front of me. I was scared ****less and ran out of my room and the very next day, I threw away the legos. Never played with any legos again after that. =(
