Have you ever seen a ghost?

I never saw one but I felt one.\n\nSeveral years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away. \n\nWhile driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.\n\nThree days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to. \n\nI feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.\nDuring the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible. \n\nI can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.\n\n I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings. \n\nYour brother don

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.

I've seen things that can't be explained within reason.  I don't know if ghosts exists, no one does.  Everything else is just an opinion.

I believe in ghosts, but I'm not convinced that they are the souls of deceased people.  There are way too many other possibilities out there.\n\nJaime

I have experienced ghosts.  In one home I was in w/ my oldest daughter, we had been experiencing things.  She stayed home one day and we went into the basement.  The dead center of it.  There were no boxes around us and no one else in the house w/ us.  We said the Lord's Prayer and held hands.  Then we said out loud "ok we know you are here.  Show us!"  The next thing we knew, a box was kicked on the other side of the room.  Showed a footprint and all.  Quite freaky.

I do and I have come across MANY haunted place in my life. There was my grandma's house, my moms house, the local hospital, an old house I used to work at and a community building, 2 of my uncles houses, my aunts house and every house one of my aunts ever lived in lol, I think they just followed her around. \nBut I just posted on another question that asked about ghost the place I spent most of my childhood and probably has the most ghost stories in one place that I know of so I will just repost it here. \n\nI didn't actually LIVE in the house but I spent most of my time there. It was the whole location actually. See my great grandparents had this piece of land that they put a house on and later other family put houses up there to so at one point there were 4 houses with people living in them.\nAnd the whole area is spooky between there and over on the other side of the hill where another family had the same kind of set up. \nJust a few of the stories....\nMy great grandparents had 10 kids, one was killed when she was 17 by her younger brother who was playing with a gun he didn't know was loaded and shot her. 1 year to the day after she died the new rocking chair that was put in the place she had died in started to rock on its own, and the piano that she used to play started to play her fav song by itself, you could even see the keys moving. \nI also had an uncle that died when he was 17, he died in a house fire and he had a car that some of the boys from town used to try and steal so my grandma brought it up there so that her dad could keep on eye on it. When my cousin and aunty were walking from the main house to the house they lived in they passed that car, and inside they saw my uncle and he waved at them. \nMy aunt used to watch the neighbors little boy, he was 4 yrs old and would walk over by himself through, and one time he said that a group of braves followed him and another time he got to my aunts crying and said this little old lady followed him and said he was going to be a chief, he said she was still there and tried to point her out to my aunt. My aunt even got down on her hands and knees to look down his arm and didn't see anything.\nShortly after that the boy was killed when he was riding on the hood of his moms car and fell off. \nShortly after that my cousin was sitting at her moms, the one that used to babysit him, and she heard his little cowboy boots walking up the stairs and heard him knocking on the door crying for my aunt. \nThere are a lot of other things that go on there, noises, shadows going from room to room, my brother thinks he saw my great grandpa once because he looked out and could see the outline of a tall man with a crew cut but him and one of my other aunts were the only ones in the house. There are also pounding on walls and doors and my mom heard someone walking around the kitchen while she knew everyone was sleeping.

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 lived in an old NYC hotel and had several ghostly experiences. One of the strangest was the image of a painting of a woman in vintage apparel (1890s) that would "enter" my room every night when I turned off the lights. It would appear in a certain corner of the room as a small square of misty light, then it would gradually move closer and become larger and more distinct until I would finally sit up and switch on the lamp by the bed. It was the strangest thing - being haunted by a ghostly painting. I tried to convince myself it was my imagination, but it really happened, every night. After I tired of sleeping with the light on, I finally asked for a different room. The proprietor said, "Oh, that room - yeah, it's haunted, or so I've been told."

Wow, that's really fascinating! I love ghost stories and would love to see one, but I never have. However, here are some things people I know have seen...\nIn kindergarden I had a friend whose dad was in the airforce. My friend saw him one day long before he was supposed to come home from work, or so he thought. The man he saw was wearing the airforce uniform his dad wore and he only saw him from behind, and from behind it looked just like his dad. He saw him work into his parents' bedroom so he went in to ask him why he was home so early, but no one was in the room. He checked the bathroom and even under the bed and in the closet and the man he thought was his dad was not there, no one was in the room. The window was locked. His dad came home about 3 hours later and I don't think my friend ever told him about it.\n\nAlso, my uncle died of a heart attack on Halloween several years ago, and when my little sister was born my parents gave her my uncle's name as her middle name in his honor. She's 9 now and for a few years she's said that he is her guardian angel and she can see his spirit at times. When we moved into our new house, she was terrified to go into the basement without all the lights turned on and someone with her holding her hand. One day I went into the basement to get my art supplies and she was there playing with legos. I was shocked and asked her why she wasn't afraid, and she said it was because he was there.\n\nI find ghosts and spirits fascinating rather than scary, and I think it's so cool that my sister can see her guardian angel! ^^

I don't think most people "see" ghosts per se; they experience them. When most people tell you about their encounter with a ghost or the supernatural, the things you will hear most often are tales of cabinets falling over, doors and windows opening themselves, toilets flushing, floating cats, ect.

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!
