From what all you have said, I would say at least that room is haunted, if it happens, no where else. It doesn't seem like it is out to harm anyone, just wants recognition that it's there. Anndearheart

I have to agree with Emily ...I have followed this as well since I was younger and all the coincidences some say that surround the Amityville house...lets just stop and think are they really coincidences or is this just something so powerfull than us that we just can not explain it ...Edward K submitted the 911 call when the Defeos were killed , what does that prove about the house...absolutely nothing ....just because the current owners claim they dont experience anything does not mean a damn thig ...maybe this entity is dormant in other words I pity the person that lives there when this thing decides to reveal itself again...All I am saying is maybe you non-believers need to take a step back and examine all the evidence before you decide to pass judgement on the Lutz family

I have read documented accounts of "ghosts" appearing in photographs that weren't visible when the pictures were\ntaken,and being recognized as dead family members and the like. Also,recordings have been made in houses reputed to be haunted,and voices were heard on the tape that weren't\naudible at the time. I can't believe all such cases are fraud,there's too many of them.\n \n Maybe ghosts only appear to certain people who have the ability to detect them,unlike most of us. Most people who claim to be psychics are frauds,but there are people with\ngenuine psychic abilities in the world. Also,maybe some ghosts have unfinished business with certain people. \nAs we are the living,there's no way to know.

As a ghost hunter I would definately say yes.  As to a ghost story how about one that happened to me.  It it true and happened about 4 months ago.\n\nWe were at an abandoned house doing and investigation.  This houses history included murder, rape, child abuse and suicide (nice house huh?).  One of the members was being really obnoxious and cursing at the spirit there, calling him a coward, a skumbag ect.  A few minutes later we go dark (turn off all our lights) . We sat there for a few minutes silent in total darkness.  Then we heard a shoosh and the sound of a rock hitting the wall next to me.  We turned on our light immediately and looked around but didn't see any rocks, or any other item that it could of been thrown.

I have seen and heard quite a bit.  I investigate the paranormal and also live in a house with some activity.  \n\nI have quite a bit of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) recorded.  Just two nights ago, I recorded someone saying, "Go back", "Interesting" and "Can you hear that?".  The recording also includes kids laughing, moans and someone blowing gently into the mic.\n\nI once saw a drop of water fall from the bathroom ceiling into a bowl in the tub.  I even heard it land and saw ripples.  There was no sign of water on the ceiling and the bowl was nowhere near the faucet.\n\nI saw my daughter standing across my bedroom staring at me.  I looked away and looked back.  She was still there.  I did that again and she was gone.  It wasn't my daughter because she is very afraid of the upstairs.  She senses a presence that doesn't want her up there.  Besides, I would have heard her go up and down the sqeaky stairs.\n\nShe has seen a bearded man in army fatiques standing near her in the living room.  Also, in her bedroom, was a little girl in a white dress messing with the blinds.\n\nMy 2 yr old son was in my bedroom and told me he saw a "ghost dog".  He ran and hid under my covers.  He wouldn't come out for quite some time and wouldn't let me talk about the dog.

I am a Paranormal Investigator, so I've definatley had experiences in that capacity.  I also grew up in a house that had some strange "goings on."\n\nHere are just a few of my experiences:\n\n** When I was a little girl my bedroom was downstairs by the staircase going up.  I hated to sleep with the bedroom door open because I would hear strange noises coming from the kitchen and the staircase.  I made my Mom move my bed to the wall opposite the staircase because I would swear that something was standing on the stairs and trying to reach through the wall to get me.  Granted, I was 6 years old at the time.  But I remember very clearly one night in particular.  I was deeply asleep when the bed started to shake.  I woke up and yanked the covers over my head.  I lifted up a corner to glance out and saw a black hand reach up towards me.  The hand put one finger at a time on my blanket until four long, pointy black fingers were within inches of my nose.  I was so scared I couldn't even breathe.  Suddenly the hand yanks on the covers.  I yanked back and screamed with all my might.  My parents came running and finding me sitting up and screaming for help, tried to convince me I had a nightmare.  To this day I don't know if it really happened, but even just thinking about it gives me the willies.\n\n** When I was about 17 my parents went away over night.  I was in command of the house for a full 48 hours and was thrilled.  I borrowed a bunch of movies, popped some popcorn, and settled in for a night of relaxation.  Halfway into the first movie I heard a strange scraping noise coming from the front window.  I turned my head and watched in horror as the window slowly opened.  My rational self was telling me the window was unlocked and probably warped, so not to worry.  My rational self quickly gave up that opinion when the window slammed shut very quickly.  My reaction probably would have been funny had someone been around to see it.\n\n** One night at my aunt's house, at least 9 of my family members and I were sitting around the dining room table playing Taboo!, which is an extremely loud game to play.  Suddenly all of us became quiet at the same time.  Footsteps could be clearly heard from the floor above us, but everyone in the house was around the table.  Somehow I was elected to go check it out.  As I'm walking up the steps a blast of cold air comes by me and the bathroom door at the top of the stairs slams closed.\n\n** While staying over night in a haunted B&B with several fellow investigators, my roomie and I very clearly heard the sound of snoring in the room.  We walked around to every room in the building, but could not find the source of the snoring.  Once back in the room the snoring ghost continued to keep us company for several minutes.\n\n** During the course of a paranormal investigation of a private residence I said to the homeowners, "We haven't been able to find anything yet tonight."  Immediately after that we heard several loud bangs on the ceiling over our heads.  We were on the second floor and everyone in the house was within my line of sight.

There is a haunted resteraunt in the town I grew up in called carousel Gardens...many people say they have seen a "ghost" there When I was 14 my friend and I went with her uncle to the resteraunt..which used to be the house of the womwn who aupposedly haunts it today, since my friend's uncle new the people who owned the place we were allowed to visit the attic part of the house where the woman's belongings where. We started to take photographs and later had them developed at the local pharmacy\nIn one of the pictures you can clearly see a white mass behind us, there were no mirrors in the room, only a velvet curtain hanging up...we were featured in the local paper, and the picture still hangs in the resteraunt...we were also contacted by the warrens, and they use our photo in some of their shows\n\nClick this link...we are the photo in the upper left hand corner\nhttp://www.carouselgardens.com/paranormal.html#firstrow

If you would truly like to read some about this, there are many books available from the internet and Ebay.  I have read several about the life of Edgar Cayce.  I don't intend to indoctrinate anyone.  You would have to decide for yourself, and have the right to reject it.  In India, this subject is not even discussed.  It is like knowing that babies are born, and that everybody will die at sometime.  Those two facts cannot be disputed, and there are no arguments about whether birth and death is true or not.  Reincarnation falls into that category.  They don't argue about it or discuss it.\n\nRecently a couple from Louisana with a 5 years old boy revealed their true experience.  When their son was approximatel 1 year, he began to have frequent nightmares,  Parents did the natural thing.  This went on until he was approximately 2-3.  The boy loved airplanes and had every sort and description.  One day, his mother bought him a model of a WWII aircraft.  She began to explain the parts and under each wing there was a cylinder.  She explained to her son that these were missles.  The boy replied, those aren't missiles, they're extra fuel tanks.  She passed it off, but felt a curosity about his knowledge of WWII aircraft.  Finally one day, his father decided to ask his son questions about his dreams.  The boy began to explain that the plane was on fire and going down.  This was the basis of the nightmares which were ignored in the past.  His father asked what happened.  The boy said it had been shot down.   Father asked, who shot it down?  The boy, with astonishment said, "Well, the Japanese, of course."  Father asked where tihs happened.  In the Pacific, he answered.  On further questioning, the boy, mind you, 2-3, told him that he was stationed on a carrier and gave his father the name of the carrier.  He also gave his father the name of a friend on the ship.  With much difficulty. his father learned that the carrier was a small one and had indeed served in the S. Pacific.  The father then tried to find the pilot by the name his son had given to him.  The pilot is alive, or was recently, and was found in Arkansas.  He verified all that the boy had spoken of.  The plane in the dreams crashed in flames and the pilot never found.\n\nThis has been documented by other sources, not me.

Yes I have. I've seen a ghost.It was in my backyard. My mother also saw it, too. I only saw it once, she saw him several times. We were not stoned, drunk, or anything else. We were sitting on the back porch drinking iced tea. He was in the yard. Very creepy feeling altogether. \n\nI have also seen what can happen with a Ouija board. That's the main reason I don't mess with them anymore. \n\nSpirits, ghosts and such are not to be played with.

My aunt once lived in an old house that was haunted. One day, when she was alone with one of her children, she heard chains being dragged in the upstairs attic. Also, there was a window in the upstairs attic that faced the street. A chair was positioned against the window, and my aunt says that when you were outside, you could sense that there was some unseen person sitting in the chair watching you. One day, my aunt managed to go upstairs. She found a box or chest with some old letters. If I remember correctly, the letters were written by a woman who broke up with her husband and somehow ended up being separated from her children. My aunt believes that it was the woman's ghost who haunted the attic.

No Fire & Brimstone here...\nFour years ago, a few friends and I made the trek from Melbourne to Junee In New South Wales to visit a homestead called Monte Cristo.\nIt's a tourist attraction now, reputed to be Australia's most haunted house.\nThe owners of the property actually live on site, and invite tourists to spend the night, and take the tour. My girlfriend at the time wasn't pleased, so we opted for a cabin in the hills.\nIt was a gorgeous summer night, and the tour was fascinating. Later, as we went to leave, we all piled into the car, and my girlfriends seat was soaked, from top to bottom in a cold, clammy residue. Nothing else in the car was affected.\nWe photographed it, and her clothing after she jumped out of the car screaming.....\nWhen we arrived at the cabin we were staying in, there was no trace of the strange gel. Not in the car, or on her clothing.\nThe photo's clearly show it, yet 15 minutes later, there was nothing to see.\nProbably not the cool kind of story you were after, but it has us wondering, to this day.

I saw the ghost of a little boy. I was staying in my friend's house in France (the house was four hundred years old), and one night after my friend was asleep, I saw a white face suspended over me. It was a little boy, probably about eight years old and he looked mischievous.\n\nThe next night my friend was asleep and snoring. There was a very long and solid bureau between us that was at least six feet long and very solid. We had a couple of books on it, and she had a few knick knacks on it in the middle. None of these items could have fallen off by themselves. I suddenly heard this sound almost like wind but there was no wind outside. Suddenly everything on the bureau was on the ground as if an arm had gone along the bureau and knocked everything off. I can tell you that my friend was asleep and I had not been moving, and none of those things were touching each other or on the edge of the bureau. It was very creepy!

I live in a really old city, that has plenty of hauntings.  I used to live in an apartment building, in an older part of town that is down the street from an old asylum (1800's), and not to far from old forts, and other potentially creepy things. It always gave me the willies walking near there.  Anyhow, late one might while I was sleeping I got a really weird feeling, I sat bolt upright in bed to see a dark shiny ghost ball hovering about 5 feet in the air at the end of my bed.  My son also had the creepy felling, and came in to see the ghost ball, it then "imploded" on itself. I moved 3 weeks later.

Yes, my last house was haunted by the spirit of the woman who had died there in 1999.  I had never seen a picture of her.  My mother in-law inherited the house from her, and we moved into it.  My infant son was staying in the room next to ours which was in the process of being changed from the office.  This room held a few computer cables in the box about two feet from his bed. \nAt four thirty in the morning, I heard a woman say very clearly, "The baby..."  I figured I was dreaming and went back to sleep.  A very cold hand touched my arm and shook me.  I woke up and there was a woman I'd never seen before with curly shoulder length red hair in a blue bathrobe.  As I realized I could see through her, she pointed and said, "The baby is in trouble." \nI'm pretty freaked out by this point, but I run out to the baby's room.  Somehow, he'd managed to pull a cord out of the box and it was wrapped around him.  He couldn't move.  He couldn't cry.  I unwrapped him, picked him up, and turned around, crying.  The woman was still there, crying as well.  I said, "Thanks..." in a very shaky voice.  She nodded, and vanished.  My husband walks into the room a few minutes later looking for me.  I told him what happened.  He asked if I was very sure of what she looked like.  I said, "Of course I am.. the woman saved our baby!"\n\nThe next day his mother arrived with a photo albumn.  Looking through it, I saw a picture and asked her who it was.  It was the woman she inherited the house from, a friend who happened to be a former elemenentary school student.  She died in the very room where my son was staying.  Her grandson also used to stay in that room.  And yes, that was the woman who woke me up.
