No. But I have had past experiences with ghosts and currently I have one that likes to make a noise in my ear, it almost sounds like someone is shuffling cards and it always touches my head at the same time. The strange thing is that it happened to me when I lived in Beverly, then I moved to S. Hamilton and it is happening here so whatever it is followed me.\nI would love to hear more about it though

I lived with a ghost for around 4 months before it became too violent for me..and I had to leave..There were many occurances every day..and night..and I thought it to be rather "cool" living with a ghost..I woke up one night and actually saw an apparition at the bottom of my bed...\nIt was not long after that..the violence began..and I got outta there.. I have ended up back to that very house 4 times since I moved very far away..and of those 4 times  ending up back there..none was my doing......and for each time..the vehicle I was a passanger in died..the engine just stopped..as soon as we began proceeding down the same block as the house...\nParanormal is all around us...Many look at it differently because we cannot explain it...so..it is considered by many as phoney and non-real..people are scared of what they cannot understand..but..from my experiences in this life time..I can assure you...it is all REAL..life certainly is full of endless surprises..just waiting to be found out.

Ghosts and the paranormal?

As a matter of fact me and my family were sitting around telling "ghost" stories just the other night.\n\nI have had several encounters w/ what could of only been ghosts.  My brother actually swears he seen our mother "floating" over us when all five of us kids were saying good bye to her in the hospital (she had just died) - he swears she was crying and looking down at all of us.  This is just one of several things that has happened over the years.\n\nI think your father wanted to talk to you.  Maybe he wanted you to know he was watching over you even thought he wasn't here on earth any longer.  \n\nI think that as long as their not "bad" or mean ghosts it's ok - even kinda cool - I have heard some stories from people who have encountered sightings w/ mean ghosts.  I think your dad was telling you and your mom that he will always love you.

This is a true story too... when I was 13, our school had taken us out for an overnight trip and this incident occured on the first night of our stay. We were housed in a dormritory. However, since we were not ready to sleep yet (you know how these trips be), at the insistence of one of our mates, we decided to swap ghost stories. The requestor loved ghost stories but was also scared by them. Finally, one by one, we fell asleep.\n\nThe setting was right... dark night... strange place... wind howling... Our mate who had requested for the ghost stories awoke in the middle of the night, slightly disoriented. Suddenly she saw this pale figure in white walking towards her. In fright, she grabbed the hand of the person next to her... and let out a scream... for she had grabbed at nothing and the figure next to her was also in white.\n\nWhat actually happened was that one of our clasmates sleep walked. Her white night dress and the moonlight gave her a ghostly effect. Also, her neighbour had covered herself completely with a white bedsheet. The combined effect left our mate thinking she had seen two ghosts! \n\nThis story went down in the annals of our class as the funniest ghost story ever. Hope you enjoyed it too. :)

yes, definitely.  I have had 2 that stand out in my mind.  \n\n1.  I grew up in a so called haunted house, but it was not scary.  I was about 14 years old and was lying in bed.  It was nighttime and I was lying in semi darkness.  I suddenly saw a shadow like figure float up my doorway, to the wall, and to the ceiling. I had no idea what this was and hid under the blankets.  The next day, I watched the show 20-20 when there was an episode about how ghosts show themselves as shadows..I had no idea that was true...until then..\n2.  My great grandmother had died and about 5 months after this, my infant daughter's room instantly smelled of Chanel 5 perfume.  Since I never wear perfume because my allergies cant take it, and she wore this, I suddenly thought of her.... then almost 5 seconds later, it disappeared.\n3.  The haunted house I grew up in, things regularly fell off shelves, tv and stereos came on in the middle of the night,  heard footsteps on the stairs, heard my name being called when no one was home, and other things happened quite a bit.

Honest to God!  On the night of 4-21 (just two nights ago) I went to a local cemetary to record EVP and take some pictures.  Towards the end of the investigation I asked for someone to show themselves.  Either as a mist or super charged orb or to touch me on the arm, back or hair.  Just a moment later I felt someone messing with my ponytail.  It was the coolest thing!  I gasped because I didn't really expect anything to happen but I wasn't at all frightened.  I can't wait to go back.  I also have a bunch of ghostly voices recorded from previous investigations in cemetaries.  So far, I haven't experienced any evil entities.  Let's hope it stays that way.  Also, my house has several spirits in it.  I've witnessed some interesting things.  Pretty soon I'll have the chance to investigate the haunted house of my boyfriend's aunt.

A recent experience:  April 8, 2006, my nieces' birthday at a restaurant in New Jersey.  While eating a family dinner at the restaurant where my niece works, I felt a bump on my leg from under the table.  Thinking that it was one of her children, I asked him to stop.  I spoke loud enough for the whole table to hear and received many looks and retorts that he was sitting at the other end of the table.  I felt it again on my left leg and then on my right.  There was no one nor anything visible under the table, I asked my niece if the place was haunted, she said "Yes!"  I found out later that many people have had similar experiences.  I was thinking of asking "Ghost Hunters" to check it out, but I don't think the owner would go for it.\n\nIf you want to hear a lot more, and they are very weird, e-mail me.  I've been thru various and sundry spiritual quests.  They've taken me to the depths of "hell" and, gratefully, to a very deep and profond belief in God.

No I haven't, do you know of a child who has passed away? Or has any child ever died in the house that you live in?

GHOSTS? Yes. In the summer of 1977 a ghost took up residency in my electric fan. It was very entertaining. Had a penchant for ABBA tunes and sang to me in a weird electric voice. It lasted for just a few months then disappeared. I still miss the ghost.  \nWITCHES? Yes. I went to elementary school with a girl whose father was a Warlock. Nice guy but those big bushy eyebrows made him look scary.  \nKELPIE? Yes. When I was very young I saw a "pony" swimming in a bayou in Baywood, Louisiana. I ran home and told my Grandad about the swimming pony. Grandad asked me what color it' eyes were. Red I told him. Grandad became excited and told me it wasn't a pony at all. He called it a Kelpie. He said a Kelpie was a water "imp" that took the guise of a horse to entice innocent folk into the water with it. Once the victim entered the water the Kelpie would return to it's true demonic form and drown the happless swimmer.  Grandad forbade me to return to the bayou ever again and I never did.\nBLOODY MARY? Yes. I remember some years back I was dining at a truck-stop. A drunken trucker was dared into saying "Bloody Mary's" name three times. He did. After the 3rd time he excused himself to use the bathroom. He never returned. The cook went into the bathroom to see if he was ok. The bathroom was empty and quiet except for a broken mirror over the sink. No trace of the trucker at all. I heard his Semi stayed parked at the truck stop for 4 days before it was towed.\nVAMPIRES? Yes. I saw one years ago as a spectator at a carnival. He was a pale, bald, bony man dressed in black & gray. He was wiping his mouth of what looked like ketchup. He caught me watching him. I felt uncomfortable and turned to walk away. As I did I faced a Fun-House mirror. There was no reflection of the strange man. He was right behind me! Surely there would be a reflection! There wasn't. That's when I realized he was a vampire. I ran through the mid-way until I caught up with my friends. I never told them about the vampire because I knew they would never believe me. \nJACK the RIPPER? Yes. There is documented proof Jack the Ripper existed. The question is who do you believe he was? Some Historians say he was a respected Surgeon others believe he was a prominent member of High Society while others claim he was a member of Brittain's Royal Family. Me? I'd have to go with the Surgeon theory because of the proffessionalism of the knife wounds. Experts claim the wounds were very precise and were administered with expertise. \nCANDYMAN? Yes. The legend of the Candyman is just a variation of the "Bloody Mary" legend. They are one and the same theory but the Bloody Mary legend is much older than the Candyman .  \nBLACK CAT THAT CROSSES YOUR PATH? Absolutely. A black cat has no supernatural powers ......unless it is a "Familiar" sent by a witch to cast a spell. A familiar is an animal (cat, owl, rodent, wolf, etc.) charmed by a witch or other sorcerror to cut-off or "cross" an intended victims path. By doing so the essence of the spell or curse will possess the victim. Folk-lore has it....since the animals were small or at least not very large they were only capable of containing mild spells like clumsiness or "bad luck". Fortunately A cursed black cat is the only supernatural element I have not encountered in my strange and very eventful life (aside from Jack the Ripper that is!)...So far!

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 wouldnt call them ghosts rather spirits or energies. I use to live in an appartment block which use to be an Old County Infirmary- it use to be the place where they cared for leapers. And I can definately tell you they are real!\n\nLots of weird things happened, once I was watching tv alone and a knife fell off the draining board of its own accord. (there was no vibrations coming from any applicance at the time to have knocked it off). \nAnother time my self and my boyfriend we just nodding off to sleep and right up in the corner of the room a huge dark shadow appeared and swooped over the two of us and away over the headboard-the two of us saw it at the same time.\nAnd there was always thumbing and dragging noises coming from above us although we lived on the top floor.\n\nAnother thing that makes me believe in spirits is that my own mother died 2 years ago, and recently I was at home and heard her bed squeek as if some1 sat on it -thinking it was the dog jumping on or off i went to see there was no one there, all of a sudden I got an overwhelming smell of flowers (she was a keen gardener).\nAnd the most amazing of all is, I had a picture of my mother and myself hugging on new years 1999, I loved the picture as we both looked so happy, I kept the picture in my diary and never ever moved it-no1 else knew where the picture was let alone remember having the picture. \nOne evening I was feeling really down, it was a particular bad time in my life and I asked my mother for a sign that she was looking after me. I was busying myself by clearing out some cupboards that hadnt been touched in years and low and behold the exact picture feel out of an old book- i know it was da same picture as I had written on the back. I reckon it was my mothers way of telling me she's still here in some form still looking after me.
