Have you ever been visited by spirits?

Yes whilst awake and in my dreams too. They say that it in our dream state that family and friends come through to us with a message. Our brain will accept such an event rather than if we were to come face to face with a 'dead person'.\nMy grandmother comes through to me, she usually has two children with her - I do not know who they are. I have seen other members of my family as also friends who have passed.\nYes I have seen other people but do not know who they are.\nI also have seen orbs - spirit lights. They are breathtakingly beautiful. They leave behind a lovely and peaceful atmosphere.\nWhen I was young this frightened me. Now I am older I find it comforting.\nyia

One 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."

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.

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 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.

I haven't actually encountered a ghost, but I have encountered waking up, and not being able to move, like my whole body is paralyzed, and not being able to open my eyes.  All I can do is squint.  I have then felt someone touch me, another time I felt a kiss on my forehead, and one time I did see a shadow of someone. (maybe a ghost)  Meanwhile, I couldn't move thru all of this.

I have never "met" a ghost but I know I have "experienced" one. My mother inlaw died and I was at a babyshower of a woman she knew well.  After most the guest left, the four remaining women were sitting at a table when a box of detergent flew off the laundry shelf onto the floor....powder went everywhere.  All the women were standing in the kitchen while the hostess cleaned up the powder and when we returned to the living room their were footprints on the carpet!  Nobody had left the kitchen and there weren't any other people in the home at the time....We all knew at once who had come to the party.

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.

Yes. I do ouija sessions, especially on Samhain when the veil between the world of the dead and living is at its thinnest.

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.

Yep, Ive seen a few. I dont believe in ghost though. I believe that once  a person is dead there dead. Thier spirit either goes to heaven or hell and stays there. So i believe that when we see \n"Ghost" its a Demon. I Believe they portay themselves as ppl we know or whatever.  Ive seen alot of them in my house, My friends houses, and a church. I was in a normal state of mind. The scariest "encounter" was when i was about 13 i was at my friends house and we was laying on her bed with our heads hanging of the edge, when we heard a scrapping noise, we jumped up and looked at where the noise was coming from and there was her stuffed animal hanging from the top of the wall, and then it fell. It was wierd. We didnt see an actual qhost but something was there. And one  night 2 years ago i was staying at my best friends house and there house was empty cause they were moving the next day. Well we slept in the living room that night and ALL night Doors kept opening and slamming shut. Then lights were going off and on. and you could hear footsteps in the kitchen. but you couldnt see anything anywhere. It was so scary. We've also seen a male looking ghost there that goes by the name of John John.  SCARY!!!

I've never seen anyone possessed. But yes.....I have felt ghosts. Certain family members....My self and my mom and brother can feel when they are around. Especially when my Dad is around! It's like I could reach out and touch where he is.  You know when you can sense that someone is standing near you.......say in back of you....or you can tell that someone has walked into the room when your eyes are closed. Same feeling. And it usually is the feeling that you associated with that person.......you recognize the energy! It's very cool! A ghost is just a natural transition of the human condition. We are spiritual beings having a physical experience. When that experience is over........we transition back into the spirit form. All very natural. Nothing spooky!

YES, i have even felt someone sitting next to me. I know this because I have seen my bed intent in as if someone was there and felt the presence. WEIRD!

I have been doing extensive study on just that. Spirits of all kinds. There are stories in my family that go way back to my father's childhood and service in Vietnam. Examples:\n\nSeance:\n\nMy father and his friends used to help and elderly lady with her yard work. She always rewarded them with cookies and lemonade while they worked. They never charged her. After she died, they decided to try a seance. They lit candles and called out for her to come and see them. They were in her basement at this time. Supposedly, she came walking through the wall carring a plate of cookies with a blank staring smile. They all ran for their lives. \n\nGermany: \n\nDuring his tour of duty, my father took a leave in Germany and stayed at a bed and breakfast there. He was told that the place was haunted by the owners pet, a three legged dog that had gone out an upperstory window to it's death. He and his friends laughed this of until they saw the dog run through the room and up the stairs. They couldn't find it again after that, but it is reported to run up the stairs and out the window it fell from every four or five days.\n\nMyself: 7 years old:\n\nI was seven when I had my first experience. I was a kid who buried himself in the covers and I woke up in the middle of the night to find my blankets neatly folded over at the end of the bed. A figure stood in the shadows of my bedroom door. I couldn't see clearly, but it looked like it had on an army helmet and wore rags. I dived for the blankets at the end of the bed and covered myself back up again. I fell back asleep and woke again about an hour later. This time the figure stood right next to my bed and and motioned with its fingers flexing seven of them, bony looking, at me three times. I can't be sure, but I thought I saw a skull in the helmet. My covers were folded at the end of the bed again. I dove for them and covered up again. I can't explain why I didn't cry out. I guess I just couldn't.\n\n14: When I was fourteen we moved to Utah. I lived in the basement. I was awakened in the night to see a figure in my doorway again. This one was large and looked like it had a pair of giant bones sticking out from a medeival helmet. I couldn't see any other details. I covered up and hid. This time, I was grabbed and thrown out of bed against the wall. I got up and ran upstairs. No one was found in the house though.\n\nSo what happened? Was my father smoking something? Was I dreaming? We aren't totally sure. I have found excessive trauma in my families past and have endured quite a bit myself. My father and some of his soldier buddies apparently took up some study of black magic while in Vietnam. I can't vouch for it all, because I wasn't around yet, but it's hard to say what did or didn't happen then. War creates horrors beyond explanation.\n\nDo I believe in good or evil spirits? Absolutely. I have studied several hauntings that you can even look up on the internet.\n\nClearfield Job Corps: E Dorm is supposedly haunted by two ghosts. One is a little girl with a ball. I stayed in E dorm while I was in Job Corps. I wasn't the only person who heard a bouncing ball sound in the halls occasionally. The other is a Residential Advisor who is supposed to have died after I left. So I never saw that one.\n\nJust to note. I do not drink and I have never touched illegal drugs.\n\nSo there you have it, not all of my experiences, but a couple. I have also studied removal of spirits. But those are other stories. Good day to you.
