Yes. It was back in the late 1960's . One night my father and mother and I were on the grounds of my brother's secondary school , waiting for my brother to return from a national parade , of which school cadets also took part. While waiting , my father and I saw a very unusually large white dog ; the dog looked so strange, so large, so ghostly white , that it could not possibly be from this world. My mother was unable to see this spirit dog, only me and daddy saw it.It happened in the month of November.

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.

I was once caught alone in a snowstorm on a glacier in the Beartooth mountains in Montana.  After spending a long night\nin a makeshift shelter I tried to hike out the next day using map and compass with visibility about 10 feet.  At one point  I climbed quite high on the glacier and stopped to survey the situation.  When I put my hand back to prop myself up--\nnothing there!  I was at the top of a cornice at the edge of a 300 foot cliff.   Never been so scared in my life.  My heart didn't stop pounding for 20 minutes.

I lived in a house once that had strange things happen.Things like hearing family members voices knowing i was the only one there, very very strange dreams, I used to see grey see thru bats that would swarm in the corner of my bedroom. I had freinds tell of see red eyes comming from the attic vent. The house just felt generally wierd as well. Later come to find out that the house was once stable in which two adults and one young girl around 5 or 6 yrs old lived there awhile back. The parents apparently got angry at the little girl and hit over the head with a spade and killed her

I have so many but I guess one that comes to mind would be the Halloween one when he visited his brother that was constantly waiting for their dad to come back home and finally when the brother (who would NEVER leave the house) had to leave the house to go to the hospital because they thought that he had eaten poisoned candy...when they returned home they found a note from their dad on the door. He had actually attempted to come to see them after so many years. It was very touching.

As 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 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."

My sister works as an air stewardess in a particular airline so i get to hear lots of real-life encounters from her. The most famous urban legend in her company happened in Japan.\n\nApparently, a flight crew of 8 flew to Japan.(I've forgotten which state exactly but i think it starts with F")They were just suppose to stay in Japan for 1 night before flying back the next day.\n\nAll 8 crews were allocated a hotel room each. So on that particular night, 8 of them were playing poker inside 1 of the hotel room. Now, all rooms in this particular hotel have a human size long mirror plastered on the wall.\n\nSo the 8 were happily playing together when ALL of them watch a little boy walked out FROM the mirror, bouncing a rubber ball along the way. The boy's face was a blur as he was reportedly wearing a cap.\n\nStunned beyond words, all 8 of them pretended they have seen nothing and started leaving the room 2 by 2. They bunk in together for the rest of the night.\n\nThinking everything were behind them, all 8 woke up the next morning, preparing to resume their work. \n\nBUT each of them woke up and realised with horror that their faces were imprinted with deep bloody-looking scratches that did not hurt.\n\nWord has it that the little "boy"'s mother were not happy that none of the 8 accompanied the "boy" to play..so she did a little of her revenge...

in january 2005, i went to sepnd the night at the lizzie borden house in fall river, RI. (look up lizzie borden on google if you dont know who she is, its a very interesting story) anyway, i couldnt sleep at all, i was so creeped out. so at like 3 in the morning, i hear this music coming from outside the room. so i open the door thinking its my brother playing a prank, so i went into the other room he was staying in, and there was this music box playing all by itself. well anyone could have done that, doi, but when i went to wake up my bro, whom i thought was faking sleep, the lights started flashing on and off, the switch moving by itself. i practically rean from the room screaming.

This actually happened to me.  True story.  I was coming back from the 7-11 after buying a hostess twinkie when this rather disheveled man approached me.  He kept trying to touch me.  I kept pushing him but the more I pushed, the more aggressive he got.\n\nthat's when it hit me.  there was no more room in hell.\n\nI immediatly sprang into action.  I shoved the twinkie in his mouth and kicked him...in a very awkward place.  I ran screaming down Ventura Blvd (in LA) that the zombies were attacking.  Much to my horror, every face that looked at me was that of another zombie.  I was surrounded.  They were everywhere.\n\nNow I am a BIg fan of the (original) film Dawn of the Dead, but I saw what happened to those people...both times.  So I, screw the mall, I'm going to Universal City.  There has to be some safe haven there (hell, Spielberg had his offices there for the longest time).  Sure enough, I make the journey.\n\nSure enough, I was wrong...again.  Nothing but blank stares, lumbering bodies and mob mentality.  When I tried to explain my position to the woman in the booth that she shouldn't charge me three day's salary (hey, I'm underpaid) just to get in, she just looked at me like I was lunch and there was no way for her to crawl through the glass.\n\nI lost it.  I started screaming for asylum and broke through the gates.  I was like Andrew McCarthy in Invasion of the Body Snatchers scremaing, "They're here!  They're Here!"\n\nThey let me out of jail this morning.  Apparently...and I know this is becoming a recurring theme...I was wrong.\n\nIn fact, I think the guy who I stuffed the Twinkie in the mouth was trying to say, "thank you" through all that sponge cake.
