I saw a GHOST~~~~
 

I'm convinced that there is a ghost in our house and we have all seen him. Last night I fell asleep on the recliner and woke up to someone staring at me. I thought it was my husband so I called his name 3 times but no response. He was tall~really tall over 6 ft, thin and kind of bent over. He just stood there looking into the room. When I told my husband when he got home from work and he said that he saw the same person standing in the bedroom door 2 weeks ago! :eek:

The kids have all seen someone over the years too. My oldest son was freaked out last week when we swore that he put a tshirt and socks on his bed to take a shower. When he came out they were gone. He looked everywhere and still hasn't found them!

Ok~now everyone tell me now I am imaging all of this! :rolleyes: Please............

oh no!! that has freaked me out.. I surely hope your imagining this and if not I pray for his speedy exit from your house.. wow..

I don't think you are imagining things or going crazy either. I've had something similar happen..I've not told many people in fear that they would think I've lost my mind or just wouldn't believe me:eek:

Remember when I worked on your computer? I also transfered my holographic Projection Software ;)

Years ago when we first moved into this house my on the first night we were here my husband jumped up in the middle of the night and ran after someone down the hallway. The next day he told me that there was a very large man standing next to the bed. This was not the same person.

I totally believe in ghosts and have no doubt that you saw something too. There are a lot of threads on YT with people who have seen things too.

Well in your case the whole family would have to be imagining it... And since everyone has seen it I would say you have a ghost hopefully it's friendly. I had one for years I got use to it and when I moved it didn't follow I was kinda sad lol..

You know what this means...? We're going to see Jody on an episode of "Ghost Hunters"! :eek:

The only time I ever thought I was visited by a ghost was in 1969 when I was a little girl and I was sick in bed with the Hong Kong Flu & a very high fever.

I was laying in bed when all of a sudden, I heard someone whisper my name into my ear but, when I turned to see who it was...nobody was there:confused:

It felt so real that I told my Mom I could feel their breath as they whispered my name in my ear but...my Mom wouldn't believe me & wrote it off to the high fever...:rolleyes:

I love Ghost Adventures Zak, Aaron and Nick! :D Poor Aaron always has something happen to him. :rolleyes:

So back to the ghost~I have a rosary and someone said garlic. I don't know.............but I'm not taking any chances. I didn't mind when I could feel the spirit of my father or grandparents but a guy standing in my door just aint cool :eek:

There was a ghost in a house we lived at in England, actually there were two. But they were no problem. And when my husband was stationed at Bentwaters-Woodbridge his squadron had a problem with "East End Charlie" who was said to be a Luftwaffe pilot who was shot down during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Story is he was caught and burned alive by the people in Woodbridge. But he haunts the base. My husband was in charge of the radar maintenance, and they had a supply hut. They would lock it but it would always be mysteriously unlocked. "Charlie" was said to have sat on the hood of the base fire department's patrol vehicle and burned his handprint into the metal. Story is the driver ran away when "Charlie" laughed at him. "Charlie" had also been seen in his Luftwaffe uniform on the military bus that went between the twin bases.

So, yes, ghosts do exist.

Oh so that explains it all! BTW~I think the motherboard when out right after that. :( Nothing you did just old. :rolleyes:

Wow cool story!

Well, since you have more then one person seeing this entity...sorry to say...most likely...your not imagining it. Get a tape recorder...and make sure there is no interference noise..like TV, radio, kids, or dogs. Ask this "ghost" some questions. In all likely hood..you will get some answers. Sometimes even two or three distinct voices.
This is called Electronic Voice Phenomena. You can even do a google search on this so you can hear what they sound like. Sometimes it is hard to hear if you do not know what you are looking for. For the most part..they always seem to sound like they are whispering.
But I must warn you..hearing ghost voices in your own home can be quite un-nerving. Before you do this..be ready to accept the fact that you may have some ghostly "squatters".

What if he looks like George Clooney?:rolleyes::D

Although there was no problem with the ghosts in the house, as soon as we realized it we moved out!

We rented this house in Godmanchester (in Huntingdon, England), we agreed with the landlord that renters in two of the upstairs rooms could stay. We just had the rest of the house.
One day I Bruce and I were in the living room with an Air Force buddy of his. We heard the front door open and close and someone went up the stairs. We thought it was either Linda or Peter, the people that rented the two upstair rooms. So, I went to the foot of the stairs and called "Linda", no answer, so I called "Peter" still no answer. So Bruce and his buddy suggested I run up the stairs and check (brave guys!!!), so I went upstairs and knocked on both doors. No answer. So I started to come down the stairs and something brushed by me. I smelled an odor, not unpleasant, a talcum powdery smell. it was an unnerving experience. Neighbours later told us that it was supposedly a gentleman looking for a ladyfriend who lived there many years ago and the powder odor was probably from his wig. (the town dated back to the 1200's). Then our eldest daughter who was only 5 at the time told us that a nice lady used to tell her bedtime stories. We decided it was time to find somewhere else to live.

wow that is creepy!

Wow, creepy..... How about your pups? Do they ever bark for no reason other than something like that?

Wow. I have always wanted to see a ghost. 18 months ago my father passed away suddenly. I am just devestated by his passing. We were so close and in sync with each other from day one(I'm 48). I had hoped that his spirit might visit me to let me know he was ok and that we'd see each other again...but so far nothing. I am an avid reader of Sylvia Browne, her books are amazing! I keep my heart and mind open and hope that my dad is around me but I honestly don't feel him:(:confused:. Maybe one day it will happen.

I've only had one encounter with one of these, but I just figured it was because I was a bit sick, but who knows. I think I was just convincing myself that I didn't see what I saw.
I had just moved into a new apartment, and my friend who had helped me get my stuff in there had just left. I took my shower and on my way down the hallway I saw something out of the corner of my eye. Whe I looked over I saw a man with blonde hair sitting on my moving boxes, he looked over and waved at me and I yelled and jumped back into my closet door (wound up breaking it - goodbye security deposit) and when I looked back he was gone. And for the duration of my stay I could never keep my porch door locked (luckily I was on the 2nd floor), I thought it bizzare but just told myself I keep forgetting to lock it (though I never used my porch...)
Do ghosts exist, maybe, did I encounter one, quite possibly. Good luck with your ghost, have you researched to see if anyone had died in your house or near-by?

I have never believed in ghost but for a visit from George i might be easily
convinced :D

Worried...
 

Last I heard from you Jodi was that you were going to take my advice and arm yourself with garlic around your neck and your rosaries....we also agreed you'd tell this old farmer to take a hike, but you'd tell him nicely so as to not piss him off.

Since then, I have not heard from you.

Please let us know that other than stinking like a sicilian kitchen, you are ok.

Don't feel bad Jodi. I've had a *something* in my house for years and I'm still around to tell the tale(s). :D
It freaked me out at first when so many strange *incidents* added up and I couldn't explain them away anymore. The first time I actually saw "it" I spent the next few days staying out of my house and finally said to myself, "This is silly." What choice do you have? Move or deal with it? I don't even think about it anymore. Every once in a while something will happen, I'll get caught off guard for a minute, then just shrug and go on about my daily business.

Now, you want stories? I could tell you some stories. I actually have a journal where I log the most stand out incidents. :p

That is creepy..so glad I read this when it was daylight out!

Believe me, you will see your father again.
In 1994 my father in law passed away. He had a gliablastoma multiforme, a very aggressive tumor on his brain. We had to bring him to live with us so I could take care of him. The last few nights he "relived" his life. He was rambling on about chasing chickens, and something about a fire and his little dog - turns out these were things from his childhood. I also sat by him while he was in the war all over again. Then the last night he was calling "Lola, Lola, help me cross over" He was "seeing" Lola. I had no idea who Lola was. Turned out she was a sister who had passed away in 1973. He was one of 13 children and I didn't know most of them.
So, yes, you will see your father again. And even if you don't feel him around you, I am sure he is there watching over you.
I don't feel my parents or my mother and father in law, who I loved dearly, but I just know they are there watching over us.

Gosh i hope you are right. If there were one person that i could see again it would be him...i still feel a strong earthly bond with him. I keep trying to remember the good times(and difficult ones too!) but it is so hard not too think of the last time i spoke with him and that just breaks me up! The only time i can cry for him is when i'm alone driving as i don't want to upset my children. I bet the dry cleaner wonders why my eyes are always red and moist!(and red runny nose) I sure hope the loss gets easier to bear because i am still a weepy basket case! I know if my dad can come back to ease my pain he will.

it will get easier, believe me. When I lost my mother in law I was cleaning out her clothes etc so my father in law wouldn't have to do it. I would pick up something that she wore that I loved to see her in, and I would break down crying. It took a long time, but eventually I could smile at the memories.

To this day I can't watch "An Affair To Remember" without crying. That movie was on the TV when my father in law took his last breath.
But I can look through photos of both of them and smile at the memories now instead of getting weepy.

When Penni, my first Yorkie passed away at 15.1/2 I couldn't look at her portrait which hangs over the fireplace without crying.
Now, I look at it and even "talk to her" sometimes.

Soon you will be able to remember your father without getting weepy. Just takes time. Grieving periods are different for everyone. But just remember your father wouldn't want you to mourn him too long, he would want you to be happy. And remember, he is in a far better place:)

Thanks so much for your advice. They say time heals all wounds...I know this to be true! Also I apprechiate you taking time out to share with me your experience. It has given me a boost today and i will try to remember to think of the good. My dad was the funniest person i have ever met! Always goofing off...like..."hey ya'll watch this!" Then hurting himself by falling down or knocking stuff over by mistake! I can still hear my mom...Fred, will you please grow up!!! He drove her crazy...but cracked me up!! I just absolutly ADORED him!

Happy to be of some help to you. Yes, time does heal all wounds. You are going to be fine:)

I believe there are ghosts. I don't think I've had an encounter with a ghost yet, as in seeing one. But when I was in about 7th grade me and a gf were up late. My mom usually worked afternoons and would come home. We heard the front door unlock and open then footsteps through the living room to the kitchen. My friend said whats that. I said oh its my mom. After a few mins I didnt see my mom coming in my room ( house was all 1 level and I was up past my bedtime!) I went out to check, didn't see her so I went to the door and opened it and my moms car was NOT there.


On another occasion at my old apartment there was a murder 25 years ago of a mother and son on the ground level. there was only 3 floors and we were at the top. Each section of the apartment had a door and 6 apartments spread on 3 floors. One night at about 3am we heard a very very loud knock. My husband went to the door and NOONE was there. Now also strange is I had two dogs die in that apartment. We had some horrible times and luck living there for two years. Not saying its all connected but who knows? The killer was never caught. There was also a drowning at the apartment as well as the another sucicide murder of the OWNER and his wife, but it was not at the apartment building. He was said to have been a very very evil man. :confused:


We live near a cemetry now and when my hubby watches the ghost shows hes always thinking he hears stuff or something. lol I am like " ill believe it when I see it "

you can burn some white sage all over the house; make sure the windows are open. so whatever is there can go out.

Sage is supposed to keep spirits away. I believe we get "visitors" in our home on occasion . . .nothing malicious or creepy . . .like right now, as I type, I smell Jean Nate' <sp> and both my grandmothers wore that . . .it doesn't bother me . . .my kids both saw "someone" come out of the closet in my old daughter's bedroom . . .an old woman in a dress with long beaded pearls ...I have never "seen" anyone . . .but felt them . . .

As far as your guys you've seen . . .maybe they have something they want to get across .. .I'd be interested to see if you can have an EVP session and ask them questions . . .
