Looks like you just started one.

I totally believe ghosts. Once my sister woke up in the middle of the night to see this young boy,dressed in a straw hat and knickers and holding a wire hoop toy, and beside him was a man in period clothes as well. They were at the foot of her bed. She said got scared, blinked,and they were still there. She shut her eyes as tightly as she could, pulled covers over her head,and sleep finally came. The next morning she had a bite mark on the back of her calf....top and bottom teeth. I saw that bite mark. No way she could have bitten herself there. She was in college but home for summer break,so she was old enough to know what it was.

My family has experienced some supernatural things over the years.

When we were little and rented an upstairs flat, Ma used to see a man periodically walk up the back stairs, tip his head (as an acknowledgement) and then head up to the attic. After seeing this a few times she approached the landlady. Apparently he was the previous owner of the house and he hanged himself in the attic.

We were caretakers of a funeral home for 7 years - we lived in the residence above the funeral home. You'd think that place would have been rife with supernatural activity. I don't recall anything particularly weird happening other than the occasional slammed door - no windows open or breeze/wind throughout the house. I'd have to ask my sisters if they remember anything.

Next house we lived in had some spirit who thought it was funny to turn lights off. I'm not talking about a bulb burning out or a short. I mean, every one of us being downstairs and hearing someone walk across the upstairs floor and turn light switches on or off. I think my Ma saw a spirit in the basement of that house.

The house my eldest sister lived in, down the street from my parents had the spirit of the lady who lived there before visit. Anna saw her once or twice. My uncle Paul, who we saw infrequently - dude lived out of state, showed up in Anna's livingroom a week or so before he died.

My poor sister saw that, called my Ma hysterical and Ma had to run down there.

When Anna moved, me and my middle sister moved into the house. I didn't see the old lady however one time my dog was getting ready to walk from the kitchen into the living room and he stopped at the threshold, his hair stood up in a stripe down his back (dog looked like a Rhodesian Ridgeback except he wasn't). He was rooted in one spot. I got up, could see nothing with my eyes and said, God Bless You Misses. If you are visiting, please don't upset my dog, he doesn't understand.

It never happened again.

I do NOT go looking for paranormal experiences, but there have been two times where I am convinced that I was visited by family members that have passed on.

Every couple of months I hear three loud knocks on the ceiling on my right side while in bed. I heard it in my former apartment too, so it's not the apartment. I refuse to take it seriously.

Love this! Here's my story! I worked as a secretary in a funeral home for a few years. Our offices were upstairs in a old home and this particular day I was alone ~ or so I thought. I distinctly heard a woman's voice call out my name. Clear as a bell, 'Julie!' At first I thought one of the guys was playing a joke on me. I checked the parking lot ~ my car was the only one there. I called one of the funeral directors ~ they were all at the cemetery. I even called the lady who does hair & makeup but she was home ~ not at the funeral home that day. I know what I heard. Creepy, but kind of cool at the same time. It wasn't threatening, just sounded like someone trying to get my attention. Believe me, they got it! :-)

Anything is fine by me. Real life stuff is the best. I love Folklore too

I love this stuff!

I've told this story here before. When my daughter was about 8 we had a cat go missing. My daughter would say she could see him sitting behind her in the full length mirror in her bedroom,but she'd turn around and he wasn't there. I told her she only wished he was there,it was her imagination. A few weeks later as my daughter was walking into the bathroom,I saw that cat walking behind her. It was fuzzy and see through but I know what I saw. The cat took one step behind her and was gone. This is something I will never ever forget.

Another unforgettable experience I've had happened when I was driving home from work. The drive home was only about 20 minutes at most. When I got in my car,I had the clear distinct feeling of someone sitting in the passenger seat. As I drove home I kept glancing over at the seat it was so so strong. About half way home the feeling left,completely gone. Very odd,never happened again.

I sold antiques for years, in three Antique Malls and on-line and have been up to my elbows sorting through old stuff , often in old homes..... but once in awhile I'd get "a feeling" from something. This is nothing new to me, I sometimes "sense" or "feel" quite a few things, including when we were looking for houses.

The town we live in was established around 1840 and there's a lot of history here. We were shown some homes which were incredibly old and one in particular had cold patches, especially going up the stairs. That was freaky and I didn't like it but when we were encouraged to go down in the basement (hardrock, no bricks, dirt floor) I wouldn't go and told the Realtor, DH decided he didn't need to see the basement either and the Realtor actually told me that she has NEVER gone down into this basement... we left and needless to say, no sale, LOL!

DH and I were out on Sat morning beating the bushes for antiques and I saw at a Garage Sale from a distance a black baby carriage with a parasol attached! DH stopped the car and I leaped out practically running to see this item, knowing if the price was right I'd buy it..... got within about 10 feet or so of it and felt a huge wave of despair, sadness...and I knew instinctively NOT to buy the carriage . I stopped cold and walked back to the car..... unbelievable to me that the feeling was so strong.

At one of the Antique Malls was a "singing cabinet".... Late in the afternoon or during the evening if we were working late it started to make an off and on humming sound, ligntly like music! The science prone in me thought it was most likely atmospheric pressure (humidity or something) that made the wood shrink and expand and maybe that was it. The owner of the cabinet disclosed this aspect and a lady bought the cabinet as she just didn't believe it. She got it home, loved it and yes, she said it made the most unusual noises at night, like humming..... She loved it and kept it but man that thing was weird. BTW, we lived in San Diego, a dry climate most of the time.

I've never actually seen anything paranormal, but right after my parents passed away, I felt someone touching me on my hand/arm when I was watching television! Miss you Mama!

None have happened to me, personally, but these are links to stories about a Georgia city about 10 miles south of where we live:

Nice story, but, they shouldn't let people comment in there. As usual a fight broke out. Don't know why people have to always cause a big stink.

Thanks Panda!

@SharkE I didn't realize that about the comments. Yikes! I agree people need to get along. I decided to post the links because I would be typing all night to tell the two stories, myself! LOL

When I was in HS my 9 yr old cousin died. I would listen to the FM radio at night, laying in bed. Every time I thought his name the radio would go to static. It happened for months. I finally said to him, it's time for us to stop playing, he should go on (to heaven) The radio never went to static any more when I thought his name.

Told dentist not gonna happen nothing I can do about it. Bring cuff from home to show them it's not high at home just when I go to Dr or Dentist. Anyway,

one of my fav singers is Richie Valens (La Bamba and Donna) I was in the chair and on their radio came on 'Donna' like suppose to be a calming thing

I was told this past Friday by my grand daughter that her school is haunted by 2 ghosts. One is a little girl the other by a janitor. I am not sure why or what happened to these 2 people why they are haunting this school.

The school was built in 1912 and still being used. The school has been refurburished.

I did ask my DD about this she said she has been told by locals that the stories are true.

I am not sure if this is true or not, but my grand daughter says strange things happen in all the classrooms all the time.

RazorSharp — Sun, 02 Oct 2016 03:01:11 GMT

I told this story last year, but I'll repeat it here. When my sister was in college, she lived in the furnished basement in my grandparent's house. She started complaining that she was hearing the whispers of multiple voices which would wake her up in the middle of the night. She claimed it sounded like a crowd of people whispering, but she could never understand what they were saying. My family was very concerned that this was a sign of mental illness. About a week after it started happening, she left to go on vacation with her friends for the Fourth of July. I often spent the night at my grandparent's house in one of the upstairs bedrooms. They had more family visiting for the Fourth, so I was asked to stay in my sister's bedroom in the basement to accommodate the other guests. The evening of the Fourth, I awoke in the middle of the night. Since it was the basement, and the bedroom door was closed, it was pitch black. There were no windows. At first I thought I was dreaming, but soon realized I was wide awake. It sounded like something was happening in the next room. It was like people were whispering, sort of like how you'd imagine the sounds coming out of a room you were about to enter where people would jump out and scream, "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" It was like they were hushing each other. Suddenly, the whispering stopped altogether, and it was completely silent. About five seconds passed, and in the silence I hear, clear as day, a single, loud whisper say, "Wait, that's not her."
