holy crap!!! she turned the lights off???!!!! HELL NOOOOO!! i wuda been outta there faster than u can say GHOST!!! i dont play with that stuff.
the only weird thing that happend wen i just got abby, she wud constantly wake up between midnight and one or three to four (make sense)? then she wud just bark up a storm at the ceiling. that creeped me the hell out.
then one day i decided to take her to the cemetery to officially meet my grandfather and it all stopped!!! CREEPYYYYY

ahahahhahaha beat u wit a broom lol. oh mannn at least u had the nerve to talk to it. i WOULDN'T

I totally believe in ghosts/spirits both good (harmless) and evil. I've never had anything super creepy happen but strange things have happened occasionally that I've laughed off that were probably spirits. Like random noises, music turning on or radio stations changing. But nothing like regular, always a one off, so I always thought it's got to do with electricity..lol..For all of you who like movies about ghosts/spirits watch The Messengers :D

omg totally creepyyyyyy.

well since we r on the subject.. i had mentioned b4 that Abby would bark like mad at night time. Theres been a couple of more things dealing with my sweet grandfather. he died in 2003 and my sister had just turned 2. by this time u would be able to have a full blown conversation with her (actually since she was 1.5!!!)
anyway, my mom used to always go check on my sis in the middle of the night. one night for some reason my mom said she DID NOT wanna go into my sister's room.she didnt know why but it just didnt feel right! well she worked the courage 5 mins later n came in to check on her and all was fine. the next morning my sister woke up and told my mom that my grandfather had been playing with her the night b4!!!!!
another time it was with my stepdad (my grandfather used to come to my house on the weekends wen he was still alive and watch "spanish musician concerts" and drink a couple of beers alllllll dayyyyy and blast the music too) well my stepdad said that like twice after my grandfather passed away, he was home alone watching these vids. well he says that outta the corner of his eye he saw a shadow moving around in the kitchen. (I WOULD HAVE DROPPED DEAD) anyway he says that he felt it was him and only thing he did was put up his heineken bottle and say "cheers Pedro (my grandfather)" and that was it.
well my grandma says that about a week after he passed away she was home alone. well she was up late sewing like always and then all of a sudden she saw like a mist in the room and it got cold all of a sudden. she then says that she "kinda yelled" LOOK PEDRO I LOVE U BUT DONT COME N SCARE ME CUZ U KNOW IM A BIG CHICKEN" she says she felt normal again.
thank god (knock on wood) nothing has happened to me. i once had a dream that i was coming home and my stepdad was sitting on the steps outside. i asked him wat he was doing that hes dead and he said "nooo im here im just sittin here outside ur house'" i woke up freaked out but i realized that was his way of telling me that he is looking out for us
i had melanoma back in 2006 wen i was 22 years old. i had to have two surgeries in a matter of 2 weeks cuz from the time of the diagnose to the first surgery IT HAD SPREAD!!! my mom had pics of my granfather and i in her room. the pic of us had completely disappeared for days i think even weeks. my mom said she looked everywhere. well after the second surgery, we got a call from the oncologist and said all the cancer had been removed. the picture appeared where my mom had left it that same morning.(WEIRD) well ever since then i have to get pet/ct scans every 6 months. I must admit im a total wreck at this time cuz i would hate to be sick again. well my mom always prays to my grandpa to look after me. the second to last scan was in january. we were all sleeping but something in the living room fell!!!!! my mom and i went to look and my picture had fallen. she had placed my pic under my grandfather's (which is hanging on the wall) as a way of him looking out for me the day of the results. my mom then told me n i was kinda spooked. i went to the doctor the next morning and they told me i was still clean.
sorry i basically wrote a whole book..... i just KNOW my grandfather is looking over us

I believe they are demons, spirits that try to trick you. Last night i slept here at my bf's house, which i hate. I just hate the layout of it, it has a really long hallway. Well his bedroom is at one end of the apt. and at like 4 am i couldn't sleep, and i kept hearing loud noises at the other end near the bathroom. And then i saw Sophie staring at the bedroom door like she heard it too, he lives with his sister and it wasn't her cause i didn't hear footsteps of her going back into her room. I was so annoyed!

Here is my story!
 

Before you start reading this PLEASE KNOW THAT I AM NOT A WHACKO!!!!!



My mom have lost contact with her step MIL when I was a child over some type of stupid argument. She never had children of her own and was considered a "spinster" when she married my grandfather after my grandmother passed away I think in the 1950's. When he married her the agreement was he would take care of her financially but their WILL would state that any inheritance after her death (she was much younger than GP) would go to my mother. About 15 years ago, my mom received a phone call from the police that she had been found dead after a wellbeing check when neighbors hasn't seen her in a few days. :( As her only next of kin, it was our responsibility to care of things. Our first stop was back to her house to take a look around!:eek:

We were accompanied by an officer who let us into the house and it was just an unbelievable MESS! She was a hoarder, recluse and living in filth. :( Stuff was piled to the ceilings EVERYWHERE! :eek: It was absolutely overwhelming what we saw and the smell was overpowering!!!!

Knowing the arrangement that my GF had made, my mother needed to find the will in this HUGE mess. That first day we looked everywhere and came up empty handed after searching for hours and hours. We all went home disappointed.

That evening, my HD and I got into a fight and I headed to the couch to sleep. This was unusual in itself since as a rule, we never go to sleep angry but out on the couch I was. I had just fallen asleep and felt someone standing next to me and I opened my eyes thinking it was HD asking for forgiveness but nobody was there. At the same time I felt someone telling me "look under the couch" and then whatever it was that standing next to me went out the window. I actually felt the person go away from me. :eek:

The next day we went back to the house to continue cleaning and looking for the will. I hadn't told anyone what had happened the night before since I know my sisters and DH would have laughed at me and probably called for a psychiatrist. ;) They went into the house and started cleaning and packing up stuff and I was out in front talking to the neighbor who stopped by to introduce herself. She told me that "J" was a very sweet woman that kept to herself and they were surprised she had family. I asked about the day she was found and what had happened. She told me the "J" had not been seen in a few days and that she went over and looked through the window and saw her SITTING ON THE COUCH dead!!!!!! When she told me this I felt all the blood rush from my face and I excused myself and went to find my husband. I told me husband to move the couch out of the room. Right under the spot that she had passed away was a steel box and inside that box was THE WILL, STOCKS, BONDS AND BANK ACCOUNTS!!!!!!!::eek::eek::eek:

There is more to this story but this is getting entirely too long...........if you are still interested in hearing more let me know and I will finish this later.......:D

I am interestedd! Youve got to finish that story Pretty please?:D

I wish my Grandma (she's passed away) could come visit me...

Oh cr@@@@p! I had the entire thing typed out and somehow lost it when I went to hit send!

Oh no! You have us on pins and needles.

megansmomma... you have to finish the story - too interesting!
I have had several odd things happen over my lifetime. For the most part, not creepy. I sometimes know certain things too and as I've gotten older, I've learned to trust those instincts more. Little things like the phone will ring and I'll know who it is before I answer. Or I'll think of someone and then a few minutes later, they will call. And once time when my sister was 16 and being a typical teenager (by the way, I raised her from the time she was 9)
Anyways, we went to bed and I had one of those touch lamps and a few minutes after I got into bed, the light came on very dim. I was thinking what's up with that? Got out of bed and shut if off. A few minutes later, it comes on again but this time the medium setting so it's a little brighter. I'm thinking that's really weird and I get up and again turn it off. Finally it comes on again at the brightest setting and I'm getting annoyed at this point and get up and turn if off for the last time. Well, it turns out that my silly little sister decided to sneak out of the house and take the car! :eek: Obviously, someone was trying to warn me but I just wasn't getting it! The other day, my 4 year old was pointing out the window saying there's an angel, it must be aunt Krissy (the very same sister-she passed away 2 years ago), I kept looking and saying where? and he was getting so frustrated and kept saying right there! and pointing. I couldn't see anything. I asked him what it looked like and he said "an angel" like of course mom what do you think?
I'm a believer!

Part 2
 

Let's try this again:rolleyes:

Although she was a hoarder I learned from the neighbors that she was also very kind to them. She gave candy to the kids and baked pies and cakes as well which is actually kind of gross since the place was infected with roaches and mice. YUCK!!!!

My DH and I went back many times over the next few weeks cleaning, meeting antique dealers, and also talking to the neighbors. They told me that a few years earlier her home was broken into and she was tied up by these robbers and they ransacked the place. One of the neighbors found her tied to a chair in her living room the following day her little dog sitting at her feet crying. After that, she hired someone to board up all of her windows for safety. How sad...:(

We talked about how we could "feel" someone watching over us as we continues to clean and empty out the house. This was not a bad feeling but it felt like she was just watching us as we worked.

After about a month or so we had things just about cleaned up but I kept having this nagging feeling like we had missed something. I was drawn to the staircase that went up to the apartment. I really cannot explain this feeling but I took a ladder and decided to look in a little open space above the first landing but didn't find anything. DH found me on the ladder and asked if I was crazy or just trying to break my neck. I told him about this "feeling" and he said that he would take a look. He found a small jewelry box with a DIAMOND RING tucked up inside this opening that I had been drawn to. We took it home and I showed my mom and she looked shocked and ask where I had got it from. I told her we found it hidden @ "J" house. She then told me it was the engagement ring that my GF had given "J" when he asked her to marry him!!!!

On the final day we were there, I had an antique appliance dealer come out to pick up 2 really cool stoves. They looked like the ones that are on Rachel Ray and Everyone Love Raymondreally cool and from the 1930's. The dealer quickly took the one in the main kitchen and then when upstairs with DH to the apartment to remove the other. After a few minutes, they both came back down looking REALLY PALE! The dealer quickly left (MORE LIKE RAN) and said he wasn't interested in the other stove and my DH really looked shook up. He would not talk about what happened upstairs and said that he was ready to leave and would NEVER go back! Believe me he is NOT a chicken or a wimp but something in the apartment scared the Cr@p out of them. The only thing he has ever said about it was that something evil was up there with them and they were NOT happy that their space was being disturbed.



We never did go back. My mom sold the place AS IS. DH has talked about the feeling that he got when he was upstairs a few times since then. I even heard him tell his buddy while sitting around a bon fire how creeped out he was. For a long time after all of this happened, I swear that I would feel "J" around me. At first it was quite a bit but as time when on it become less and less.



****Like I said in the beginning of this story~~~I am not a wack job! I swear that this really happened and if you really knew me and my DH you would know that it is entirely true!

Wow.. Hey Megans Mom... you need to finish the story. We are waiting...
I have had some strange things happen in my life.. and so has my oldest daughter and her two girls.
But that is for another time. I am waiting for megans mommy to post the rest of her story.

I just did! :p

I saw my dad's spirit waiting outside my mother's apartment door about a month before my mother died. It wasn't a ghost, just a shimmer in the air, but I recognized him. He didn't say anything, was just there, waiting. It didn't startle or upset me. I saw him a second time walking away down the hallway outside her door. It was comforting to know he was nearby and would be there when my mother's time came.

When my mother and father were newleyweds, mother was at work one day and heard my father say her name very plainly. She turned around, expecting to see him standing there, but he wasn't there. Later, she told him about it and he said he had stepped off the curb right in the path of an oncoming car right at that time and had said her name out loud. He was on his way to meet mother for lunch, so they knew the exact time. He was blocks away, but she heard him. I guess that's ESP and she heard him because they were both thinking about the other one at that time.

I think anything is possible and there are many things in this world that we don't know anything about. I like to think that spirits are kind, but I've heard stories about evil spirits, too, that can't be ignored. I'm a Christian and don't believe that anything from beyond the grave can hurt me. I hope I don't ever get the chance to test that belief!

That sounds like an experience i had when i was the same age, 4 or 5. I used to sleep in bed with my mom cause i was scared and one night for no apparent reason i woke up and there was a figure at my doorway. Like you, i remember it so vividly, he looked pretty tall, maybe 6 or 7 ft, he was hairy from top to bottom, i mean real hairy, long thick hair. I don't remember a face cause it was dark but i do know that he looked at me thru the open door and since i was so little i called out a name, and it went away, then it came back a couple times to look thru at me again and finally went away for good. It looked surprised that i saw it, cause when i spoke to it is when it left and did a double check. It was freaky i tell you, and my mom also thinks i was dreaming, but no way, i know i wasn't.

that reminds me...my mom said when she just moved here from her country my grandma was in her apt. staying over. Well one day my mom was taking a nap in the bedroom when my grandmother went to the room to wake her up and she said her name but my mom went back to sleep. Later she went to ask my grandmother why she woke her and my grandmother said she never went in the room, it wasnt her:eek: She even saw her face and everything and she said she wasn't dreaming

Are you afraid of them? If Believeing in them, will that make you less afraid?

i love these threads!!

ive posted stuff before but im not sure if i posted this since we are talking on esp and stuff too

my mom said when i was 3 or 4 i spent the night at "nannys" my aunt and the next morning she said i ran in to her room..going "good morning mommy..wake up" and i gave her a hug and a kiss and left the room giggling..so she got up came downstairs and asked my dad.."wheres tammy?" he said still at nannys..she said no she was just here..she woke me up..

dad said nope she isnt here

the deja vu..i had it bad when i was little..i mean i knew what would happen the next day, i knew who was calling, i knew when the phone woud ring..

i also remeber a vision or something from when i was little..that i was riding in one of the horse drawn buckboard wagons with my uncle ronnie..and i just remember looking up at him and smilling and laughing..but it was not this time frame..you know? it was like a long long time ago..1800ish

when i was 15 i was up late watching wings on usa it came on at 11pm and i was at the end of my bed with my feet up and my hands under my chin and my door was shut the lights out and everyone else in bed..well my door opens..with the click..and i see a dark figure there and the whites of his eye and wave and say hey dad..the door slammed shut!!..i got scared and openned the door and no one was there and every else was a sleep

Okay... your turn!!!:D:D

This thread has me freaked out! AHHH :eek:

I used to have deja vu a lot when I was younger. I have really great intuition I guess you can call it, and apparently so did my great grandmother.

I grew up in an older home, probably over 80 years old when I was living there, and I don't remember ever really seeing anything but I always had a "feeling". My room was eventually in the basement once my dad finished it and I would sing "Jesus Loves Me" every time I got creeped out. I used to think I heard footsteps and stuff in the basement. When I was a pre-teen I had this phone, I forgot what it was called...like a Clueless phone or something and you could change your voice and stuff. It had this option that would let you know if someone picked up the phone while you were on it, to prevent eavesdropping. Well one night I was home alone talking to my grandma on it and all of a sudden my phone said "Someone has picked up the line"!!! I grabbed my dog and ran the heck outta there until my mom got home.

The lady that bought that house from us made our old neighbor call us after about a month or so because she kept seeing and hearing ghosts, I think 2 children she said. Ahh!! She wanted to know if we ever had any experiences.

Another weird thing that happened to me was one night my cousin was sleeping over, I was about 7, and I saw a shadow outside the LR window that looked like a man. I was so scared and hid under the blankets the whole night. Well, throughout the year after that I kept seeing that same figure everywhere! We had a really long phone cord and it fell onto the floor in that same shape of a man and the vaccum cord did the same thing..weird!

My final story is something I have always wanted to know more about because I was only about 3 or 4 at the time. I am a Christian but never knew about God or Jesus until I went to Kindergarten. This is all I remember...I was in the living room watching TV and my mom was in the kitchen doing bills or something while my little sister was taking a nap. I turned the TV off and then all of a sudden an image appeared on the TV screen and said something to me. I asked my mom about this several years later because it was one of my first memories and I thought maybe I had dreamt it. She said that I came into the kitchen and told her I had talked to God. Weird!!! I am convinced this is true and I wish I could remember what He had to say to me!

i do believe in ghosts.

I dunno if I believe or not.. but here are 2 things that I have experienced

I was driving home late at night (2 or 3 in the morning) down this road I know like the back of my hand. I saw this girl walking on the road carrying her shoes and dressed in a white dress. Nothing really unusual except the style of the dress was outdated. I thought it was weird that she would be walking down this road at that time alone and carryign her shoes, but I kept driving. The more I thought about it, I looked it up online and sure enough there is a story about a girl who haunts that road and is dressed all in white. CCRREEPPYYY!

This story may sound even creepier, but its not creepy at all... I NEVER felt scared, not one time. I was like 22 and living with my mom and stepdad. He had a finished basement and I had my own bedroom and bathroom and entryway. Well I had dreams that this woman was always around, old fashioned kind of, wearing a sunhat type thing. She was soo nice and I never felt afraid of her. I don't know if I was awake or not when this happened, and I never physically saw her. I felt her presence and had visions in my mind of what she looked like.
I never told my mom and stepdad, I never really thought too much about it. YEARS later my mom was packing up the house to move. I was 29 at the time and had not lived there for 6 years. She was telling me how she was going to miss her ghost. I said "What ghost, you never mentioned a ghost before." she said "oh yeah, I have a woman down here in the basement (my mom set up my old room as her workout room and painting studio). My mom then went on to describe the woman and it was EXACTLY the woman I used to 'see'. I told my mom about it and that I knew her. She was not surprised at all. I told my mom she used to take care of me when Id come home late and it was dark or I was restless in my sleep she'd be there sitting with me. It was just sooo weird.

Ive always been one to know whos calling w/o having to look at the phone, OR I get a sense while driving that I better slow down and sure enough Id either pass a cop or avoid an accident and de'ja vous, Ive had that all my life, very strongly. My mom is convince that my great grand-mother is my guardian angel and with me all the time.

Ive also read the secret recently and think maybe my intuition has something to do with what Im bringing onto myself. If I am thinking about someone, they are going to call, thats why I know who is calling before I answer. Or if I am thinking I need to slow down, there could be a cop up ahead, then of course there is a cop up ahead, I willed him there.

Sooo Im not sure if I believe in ghosts or not... it could just be the power of your mind. I dunno!
