I have, i was 11 and me and my mom lived in this old house that was built in the 60's. It was haunted by a little girl that was about 8 or 9. She died right in front of her house. Everytime all my toys would be put away, they'd be scattered out all over again. but that was nothing compared to first time I saw her. I home by myself at about 2 in the afternoon. She had on church clothes and she looked as scared as I was. I told my mom, and she was surprised cause the girl was her older cousin!

I have never witnessed a UFO, but I have had many paranormal experiences.\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 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\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked at 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\nOne time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a large camping gathering, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, clearly visible to everyone, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nOn another camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\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."

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've been in more than one. My family members are "ghost senstives" especially me and my mother. I saw the ghost of a little boy of about 6 years old and a mans shadow in a hat and I was hit on the leg in this one house in Pensacola and at another place there was the scent of lavendar perfume and I had a mirror hanging on the left wall that fell twice for no reason and both times it landed on the video case of the exorcist so I moved the mirror set to the other side of the room along with the video rack and once again the mirror fell and cracked the case for the exorcist tape. I took the hint and threw the tape out and the mirror did not fall again after that. When I saw the landlord I asked him if someone had died in the place and he told me no but then a neighbor had heard my story and she told me that an elderly woman had a heart attack out on the walkway and they brought her into the house where she died.  I see images and shadows in the older homes that I've lived in. There was this place that was almost a hundred years old that had sat empty for three years before we moved in and from day one there was an evil prescence felt and my mother was more attune that I was. The focus was in the attic. I always felt a darkness there and my mother said she'd looked up the stairs one day and saw a man sitting in a wheelchair just watching her and she closed the door. Then she said that she saw a woman come through the closed attic door and go around the corner and disappear. That was it for me and I made a cross and placed it over the attic door and my nightmares stopped as well as my mothers. My sister saw a head in the closet and in the dresser drawer.  That house was the worst of all and I was glad when we moved out of it!!

Yea I was at a really old hotel and it had been turned into an apartment building, but it was haunted! I was creepy if you went into the ballroom you could feel them everywhere! We even got pix of it looking out the window when we knew no body was in the room!

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 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.

Yes I have! There is an old book shelf in our living room and I was sleeping when I heard something fall off the shelf when I woke up something was staring at me and I got out of bed and it went to the book shelf and got in a book of shadows that I have.  I also have been attacked by a werewolf when me and one of my friends were driving on a dirt road in the woods. I have a picture of the car with huge claw marks running down the side of it and this car was picked up by some federal agent because he says it was a stolen car, but I bet the car wasn't stolen!

Okay, here's at least some of my ghost stories.  I just got permission from other people in my family to tell these stories.\n\nAs I have stated in other answers.  I have seen ghosts, mostly when I was a little girl.  I lived in a farmhouse that had been past down from generation to generation for approximately 145 years.  \n\nI didn't know this when I was a little girl (my aunt, the family historian told me this when I was about 17-18 years old), but an ancestor had violently died in our house, and of course many deaths had occured since then. In true Germanic tradition, everytime someone died in the family, a wake would be held in the living room of the deceased, or until recently, when funeral homes became more abundent.  In homes like ours, the coffin was either placed in a corner, feet facing the center of the room or sometimes in the middle of the room, but slightly off center.\n\nWell, every Christmas, our family would decorate a Christmas tree in the living room.  If the Christmas tree was placed in a corner, without fail, the tree would fall over.  It didn't matter if it was placed in different tree stands, or how the tree was cut and placed in the stand, down it would go.  I don't believe the tree tipped over because the floor was uneven either or motion caused by walking.  The foundation under that part of the house is pretty stable, considering.  It got so bad that we had to tie the tree itself to the windows!\n\nThis account isn't too scary.  If you want really scary read on.\n\nI always had a forboding feeling everytime I went into the living room.  It felt as if an unfriendly presence was there.  In that same living room my mom placed a long rectangular coffee table, practically in the center but just slightly off (she didn't know about the wakes held in the house until much later).  Whenever the coffee table was placed somewhere else in the room, the sense of uneasiness would increase.  And I would never, ever under any circumstances, cross the spot where the coffee table was before. If for some reason I absolutely had to cross or step over it, I got the tugging feeling pulling me down.  It wasn't a physical tug, so it's kind of hard to explain.  Let's just say...it was unpleasant.  I also heard knocking noises on the coffee table and endtables that were in the corners.\n\nIt gets scarier.\n\nWe had two very reliable, steady watch dogs in our house.  One of them would I honestly believe would give her life for the family, but she wasn't particularly vicious or anything.  She would stand in the corner of the dining room (adjacent to the living room, conected by huge french doors) and growl.  It wasn't a normal dog growl either.  Every piece of fur on her body would stand up, her ears would be back and teeth bared.  We would literally have to drag her away from the corner when she did this.\n\nIt gets worse.\n\nOur kitchen is connected to the dining room.  The kitchen itself seemed to be void of any negativity.  But things really got scary one night.  This time, I was alone in the house, something I didn't like.  The room right next to the kitchen is a sort of mud room, my parents hung their barn clothes there.  Well anyway, I was walking out of the kitchen into the dining room, when I felt something behind me (I don't know how to explain it any better but a presence behind my head and neck area).  I turned around quickly, saw my dog standing and facing the wall and window the mud room and kitchen shared, snarling and growling as described above.  Only this time I saw a black figure (that's the best way I can discribe it) cross the window.  The figure had to have been at least six feet tall because I couldn't see the top of it.  As I said before, no one was in the house!  Of course this freaked me out, but I still refused to tell my parents because even at that young age I thought they would think me crazy (which I found out later, wouldn't have been

I like horror stories, so here are some...\n\n***\n\nAbout six or seven years ago, my family lived along Teays Valley Rd. before the big "industrial boom" of Putnam County. Seems like it went from a farming community to a city right before my eyes. Well anyway, We rented land off of a fellow by the name of Jim Umberger. On this land was an extravagant pre-civil war almost Victorian house. It was simply beautiful. Off to the side of this massive antique sat our trailer. Now I was awful young through all of this and kids will have thier fabled ghost stories, but there was something quite odd about this house. Something was down right sour. \n\nThe story had it (and I know nothing of the truth in this) a family was brutally butchered in the house. Back then, there wasa whole lot of nothing for miles around, so no one even found these folks for a good long time. As a youngster, I had the "creeps" about anything just about, but I've never been quite as frightened of a place as I was here. The place had an eerie air to it. To make things even more insane, my stepgrandmother, Evelyn, died of brain cancer there (in our trailer, of course). My other Grandmothers' entire cancer eaten body siezed up and shut down on her, yet she died oficially in a hospital. Strange things went on at this trailer. Pockets of not cool, but cold air in the middle of July, for example. Once in the winter my mother was out on the town. My younger brother and I were watching some TV when there was a knock on the door. There, on the freshly fallen snow, was nothing. No footprints, no tire tracks, nothing. Needless to say I spent the rest of that night with my head buried under the covers. Speaking of doors, once I heard the doorbell ring, seemed innocent enough, but WE DIDN'T HAVE A DOORBELL!! Pictures falling off the wall, creaky floors and long sleepless nights were only minor nuisences we had to deal with everyday. The most disturbing incidences, however, and the most annoying were when the smoke detectors, located in various parts of the trailer, would take turns going off one at a time. \n\nAfter that, they'd go off simultaneously, quite a ruckus. For a long time, I thought I was the only one who felt a presence, then one night, my mother went completely irate screaming "Show yourself, Evelyn! I'm tired of these f*ck*ng games! Show yourself!" We never saw anything. Things continued as they were until we moved. Mr. Umberger sold the land to someone and it became South Brooke, a ritzy subdivision with $500,000+ houses that wouldn't hear of our humble trailer depriciating thier property. However, I believe they'll get theirs, Although they tore the house down for the project, there was a well and a system of underground streams and springs which probably rendered the whole operation illegal. The thing about the springs and wells may not sound important, but in my own personal research I have found negative forces and spirits can channeol themselves through waterways. I'd like to see how South Brooke likes it's neighbors! \n\nI believe I have some pictures of that house somewhere in the mess that is my apartment.\n\n***\n\nThe story I would like to tell is about an apartment building in Spokane, WA. This building is only about seven years old, if y'all are anything like me you expect a haunted house to be all scary and falling down, not clean with nice landscaping. It really started the day after we moved in, my hubby came in from the deck (I am a cigarette nazi - no smoking in ze house!) scared as heck. I have never seen my ex-marine hubby look so scared. He absolutely would not talk about it! hmmmm. \n\nNot two days later my little year and some odd daughter was supposed to be asleep for the night but instead was talking to someone. Of corse, no one was there when I checked, but I swore I could hear an old lady talking to her. I figured it was my dead grandma, she comes to visit now and t

Yes, I have been haunted before.  When I was living on my own I would hear voices.  But every time I would stop to listen to see what they were saying it would stop.  Then one morning i awoke to see my chairs hanging off my kitchen table!  Explain that one.  I have also been over to my grandmas house shortly after my grandpa passed.  I swore I heard him walking through the house.  Being an Italian man, I do believe he would still be watching over my grandma especially after 54 years!!!  If you don't believe, you should do some research.  Ghosts.... what about guardian angels??

I've seen, heard, felt the ghost of my cat shortly after I had to have her put down. \n\nMy bedroom was her room also and I had a baby gate at the entrance to keep our dog out of the room. After she passed I saw her out of the corner of my eye and heard her jumping over the gate. My Mom and Gramma also lived with me and they too had heard her jumping over the gate. In the mornings to wake me up she used to walk over me. After she passed I had felt her walk over my chest. \n\nPutting her down was very hard for me. I was with her when she passed. She was my baby and experiencing these things was very comforting. I believe she was letting me know that she was ok.\n\nMy Gramma had to have her dog put down also not long after this. A little while after she moved out into an apartment and a couple times she heard Sheena barking. \n\nGhosts can be frightening but under these circumstances I believe they were just saying goodbye.

The weirdest one I had happened in college. Just before my alarm clock went off, I dreamed that I saw a spacecraft in the sky. Was freaking out in my dream, of course. And when my radio turned on,  the news person said that there were sightings of strange objects in the sky over where I lived!! Around one year after that, I was in a cafe with fellow students and this girl talked about the time she was dreaming about a spacecraft... and I finished her sentence. We totally freaked out!! That was strange, to say the least! I've had a few more, but will stop here or else will write a novel.
