Have you ever seen a ghost? When and where?

Yes.\n\nSeveral years ago I rented a two bedroom house on a golf course.  I wasn't impressed with the location -- I needed a house I could afford that would allow large dogs, and this was the place.  The house was old (built in the 40's), in an old section of town, and had several things wrong with it, including a landlord who took my first, last and security, assured me that the roof didn't leak (the shingles looked suspect), left the country after depositing my check and when it rained a few days later the roof in my bedroom poured.\n\nAfter things started settling down in the house I started having dreams that someone was berating me in German, a tall, slender old man.  These dreams were right around daybreak.\n\nThe man in the dreams was very adamant, very unpleasant.  Finally, I woke up during one of his tirades, and he was standing next to my bed!  And going on and on and on!  \n\nI hadn't taken any German classes since one semester of German 101 with a thoroughly obnoxious teacher several years before, so I could identify the language but not what he was saying.  But, since he had established contact there was no getting rid of him.  I saw him every morning, and although I couldn't see him outdoors, I could hear him while I did yardwork, and especially when I trimmed a tall hedge that separated the boundary of my rental home from the city shoulder right of way.\n\nOne day I visited my neighbor across the green.  She was a senior, and had lived in her house forever, so I figured she knew everyone who lived there.  Margaret knew immediately who I was seeing, a previous owner of the house.  He had been strict, and very mean -- and a wife beater.  I don't remember his name, but that his wife's name was Jean, and she would not leave him.\n\nMargaret told me he was a demanding person who expected everything kept immaculately, would never have allowed pets in the house (she thought that was the reason I was seeing him, my large dog and cat and bunny were all indoor pets) and as for the hedge...Well, whatever plant the hedge was had long branches that when left to grow naturally fell in graceful arches, and I trimmed to cultivate that growth pattern.  This man was known to pull out a ladder and stand on it with a chain saw, and he cut that hedge boxy and absolutely straight, even using a level on the top.\n\nMargaret finished by telling me that I would not have liked him.\n\nTraditionally, you tell these beings that they are dead and ask them to return to the light.  Because I was furious that he beat his wife and got away with it, I gave him grief.  He railed at me in German, I projected my loathing of him in English.  The pets stayed in the house, and we argued over the hedge.  In the end, because I have a body and he doesn't, I won and he left.\n\nNot a scary, hair-raising story, but there it is.

I tend to distinguish between ghosts and spirits. When people think of haunted houses, they tend to think of ghosts (I tend to think of them as psychic echoes), whereas my house is filled with spirits. I love my household spirits. They're my kind of spirits. Very wonderful to have around. So I don't really have many stories about them because they're just so darned good. Mostly, everything in this house works better and lasts longer than normal, like the 27 year old water heater I just replaced. \n\nBut I imagine that what you really want are some good stories, so here are a few of mine.\n\nOne time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nAs a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nI rarely ever actually see ghosts, but one time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a Pagan festival, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."

Yeah I believe! But I don't believe in all people say that they have seen ghosts! And no, I haven't seen a ghost! Maybe just Casper...on TV! :D

My Hubby and his Mother have.\n\nIn the house they live in when he was a baby, the previous owner killed himself in the back bedroom because his wife left him.\n\nThe ghost hated woman, and used to poke my MiL all night.  He also pushed her down the stairs when she was pregnant.\n\nThey have been back to the house since, and there was a squatter living there and said that the last tenants we a load of female students, who just left the house screaming in the middle of the night.\n\nMy in-laws also now tell me that there was a ghost in my old house, in my son's bedroom.  And whenever they came to stay it kept waking them up and throwing fireballs at them.

lemme tell you a story that happened to me. this is no joke, I'll put my hand on a Bible and tell you this really happened.\nI was in this house that was known for being haunted. I was sitting in the floor, leaning on my arm, just chillin. \nThen I felt something, like a bug or something, crawling on my arm. I looked down. A loose penny from the floor was rolling up my arm all by itself. It got about a foot off the floor, up to my elbow, before I noticed it.\nAs soon as I looked at it, it stopped and feel flat on the floor. I jumped up and ran out.

Yes. the first ghost I witnessed was during the day. It was in my sisters house and my mother and nephew were in another room. I saw a child about 7 years old. At first it was annoying until I realized he wasn't living then it was scary. \nLove & Light\nSharon

I have had experiences.  For all of those who dont believe, you must not have had any.  My dad never has believed until he bought the house he now lives in and unexplained things happened in front of his face.  \n  My aunt died 6 yrs ago and every once in while I look up when I am preparing dinner and see her looking at me. she never stays long, but still comes around every now and then.  \n  I do believe that spirits exist.

I used to see ghosts all the time when I was around 14 years old.  This occurred at a house my family lived in over 13 years ago.  I never knew until last year that someone was killed in that house (my parents never wished to tell me back then).  But it was weird because I would see little children running down the hallway.  At night, a little girl would stand in front of my door with a cat in her arms.  I know that this is really hard to believe, but it seriously happened.  My daddy used to see ghosts when he was a little boy too.  I guess my sixth sense is inherited.

I saw a ghost once. I work in a nursing home and this woman died. She was blind and walked with a cane because she had scoliosis (curvature of the spine) that had her bent over from the waist. The day after she died, several of us aides saw a tall woman walk out to the enclosed courtyard and we went to tell this woman that the parking lot was the other door. When we got to the courtyard, no one was there and the womans room was icy cold. We didn't see the woman again but it took 2 days to get the room warmed up to put another resident in it.

yes once I stayed in a house that had a strange tale that a child ghost appeared and enticed a member of the family to a deep pit and hence drowned...this had happened once only in the late 1800s. The inquest into the death was inclonclusive as to whether it was suicide or accidental death - due to sleepwalking. The story gained added credence because another member of the family 20 years later was nearly enticed by the same apparition but came to his senses before walking into the pit. The pit is actually an open well at the end of the estate.\n\nI was alone in this house one weekend, because I was planning to stay a week studying in the house by myself. I need solitude to study. Well the first night I heard a noise in the corridor and whilst trying to investigate it I managed to lock myself out in the dark corridor\n\nit was quite spooky but I kept telling myself that this is so funny and tried to see the humour in this, and tried to find the proverbial black cat in the dark corridor. \n\nThe light switches are on the other side of the corridor...so in the darkness I finally broke a side door and got out of the corridor and by doing that I bruised my shoulder quite badly. \n\nI guess the noise and locking myself out separately can be excluded as mundane events, but in that corridor I just felt so confined and at the same time it was quite chilly despite it being such a warm evening.\n\nThree years later, a priest visiting this house announced that there was a spirit and said he would exorcise it. He moved about the house and starting digging at a place in the garden. The strangest thing is this was the first time he had come to the house, well he found deep (about a feet deep) a doll with steel pins in it and also a small vial of what looked like ash and blood.\n\nIt was quite old - so maybe the voodoo doll was buried by an enemy against someone living in the house decades ago. Anyway, the place they found it was near the corridor...so it was quite freaky...\n\nand I was completely lucid the whole time, that is I hadn't taken any substance...\n\nLast year I visited another house, and felt a lot of disquiet or evil whenever I passed one particular room in the house. Apparently this was the room where the gentleman of the house kept his videos and entertained his friends. Who knows what else he did in that room...\n\nNow, I never disregard these feelings and act on it.\n\nI even feel it sometimes from people...

I believe in ghosts, but have never seen one. I think I have felt one, however - I think it was my grandma's ghost and she placed her hand on my shoulder but I looked at it and there was nothing I can see. Then, she must have left her hand because I felt something going off my shoulder.

If there is a medium for the soul and mind to visit the spirit of the ghost then it can be viewed. I have seen many ghosts in over the years. The ghost that has been with me the longest is one I met when I was 14 years old. It is a male identity and has prolong this passage of time at the current physical level many times with good intentions. I have come to understand his intuitive nature and begin over the years. I know that he has been reincarnated several times and that he has returned from ashes the ancient burial ground in Mexico. He has lead me to several people and events  over my life time. I will also be thankful to have been part of his after life connection. and sorry for  one failure..Listen carefully to the ghost around you. Steka te ta teaka ,Tree

It's True. Those are people from another demetion. That's my theory on it anyways. but it IS TRUE. I've seen a ghost, most all of my brothers and sisters have seen ghosts,my mom and finally my dad has saw a ghost.(my deceased sister). No one will ever admit that these things are true and do happen! Your special,That's why you get to see them. You can see the things that are further than your nose ,if you know what I mean. Consider yourself lucky,gifted, and privileged to be trusted   to see stuff like that. So now you know the answer to the big question, "Are THERE REALLY?"

I have never actually SEEN a ghost, but when I worked as a security guard at an "abandoned" hospital, there was sure some funky stuff going on. Like cold spots, odd noises, funny feelings, and that thing where the hair on the back of your neck stands up for NO REASON. And YA, it was a little scary sometimes. Of course this was just about the COOLEST job I've ever had! Prowling around all night in an old hospital that was built in the late 1800's. Kinda fun!!

I don't believe in ghosts, but I do know what I saw wasn't human. Me and a friend were driving on the highway when suddenly a large 10 ft white object floated over the median and into my lane. I swerved to avoid it and got a weird feeling about it. I thought maybe it was a trash bag or some tarp or something, but it looked smokey.. almost like fog, but yet it was in a defined form that looked like a being. I asked my friend if it was a trash bag, and he said no it definitely was not. I saw what was that? And we both had a period of silence. We both decided that it had to of been a ghost. This was out in the middle of nowhere, I belive near some battlegrounds. I've also had another experience with the same friend. We were both working on our computers when suddenly there was a loud CLAP to the left of us. It sounded like someone clapped right next to my ear. Inquiring what it was, we never decided on anything logical. I tried to calm myself saying maybe it was something electrical, or mechanical, but there was no logical explanation to be found. Very very strange.
