Your Ghost Experience

[Viraja]

About 8 years ago, when my daughter was just a 2 month old baby, in the middle of the night (shortly before 1 am) I was nursing my baby in a small bedroom in the apartment complex. My husband and son were sleeping in the adjacent room. There was a small corridor that led upto the bedroom where I was nursing and the other bedroom door (where my husband and son were sleeping) was opening up from the corridor, adjacent to my room. When I looked up, I noticed a pair of legs walking slowly into the other room, entering the other room.. I was freaked out, I was not wearing my glasses, so couldn't see clearly. I put the child down and hurried into the other room and screamed "What is the time?" in a shrill voice, and my husband looked up and said it is 1 am sharp. I was so spooked out. The next week or so, I was so afraid to be alone in the house even during day time and kept praying all the time. Nothing really happened after that. But shortly after that, we visited another place - a temple in a hilly place and my husband had rented a van and was sitting in the front. He said that at some point, something happened and that the front glass burst out, shattering into pieces! Luckily nobody was harmed. I felt like god answered my prayer and relieved us of some mishap from the ghost visit(!).

Lights turning on and off by themselves. TV turning on and off by itself several times in a few minutes. TV also changing channels by itself. Loud crashes. Heavy stomping footsteps upstairs. And finally a cupboard shelf full of canned goods being flung out several feet in the kitchen.

These all happened in one house my mother lived in for years. We'd go and visit her, and at first it was a scary experience. After a while, though, it got really annoying.

One night, we were all sitting in her living room, and the crashes and stomping would not stop for well over an hour. I finally decided to walk up the stairs, glared at the darkness in front of me, and yelled angrily:

Okay now, THAT'S ENOUGH!! Now KNOCK IT OFF!!

Ironically, it stopped. For about a month. Then according to my mother the noises started again.

Those experiences were typical for the duration she lived at her house, which was roughly 10 years. After she moved, no more experiences like that.

Seeing a ghost of a little girl walk up the street were I used to live. A few more thing's I would rather not go into. I am starting to re-think this whole "God's" thing.

I have worked in both Hospitals and Nursing Homes for 24 years.

In that time I've had 4 personal sightings and about 20 patients reporting sightings of loved ones as they were dying. As a child I got a whoopin from my Grandmother for insisting I saw my Babaw (Great Grandfather). I was 4 and learned later that he died when I was 1 1/2. I remember him clearly including his voice and the smell of his cigars and pipe.

The first of sightings I had were of a woman who mysteriously disappeared as I passed her then turned around to ask her if I could help her. She vanished on a hallway with only two doors that were locked. When I couldn't find her I reported it to the RN in charge of the Unit. She said "Well welcome to ______ Telemetry Unit. You've just seen the 'Black Haired Woman' who roams our halls at night."

Another sighting was a few second glimpse of a man who looked like he was visiting a cancer patient who I was very fond of. He vanished after I looked away for a second. A nurse I worked with saw the same man disappear before her eyes as well. When I describe what he looked like to her she was horrified. She never went to the break room again where she saw him. As the Cancer Patient became critically ill, the family brought in a picture of her late brother. It was the same man.

The third sighting was sad, it was the face of a man appearing on the wall in the hospital where he died. I went to visit the church where we had attended together when I was young. I was shocked to see the memorial picture they hung up to remember him on the church stairwell was the exact same image in the picture I had never seen before. I was sad because I felt such hopelessness for him when I saw his face on the hospital wall. It was a feeling like he was trapped there.

The last of my four personal experiences was horribly terrifying. Responding to a patient's cry for help I ran to that room. When I ran into the room the patient was yelling "Help! It's a man! It's a mean man!!" The patient was batting her hands at what appeared to me as a 7 foot tall black pillar of smoke. I could see the woman through it. Then I smelled it. I have never smelled anything worse in my life and I had alot of experience dressing Stage 5 Necrotic Decubitus Ulcers. The word "Wicked" came into my mind like a whisper. I closed my eyes as it looked like it was turning around to face me. I prayed trembling not knowing what to pray except 'God save us' until the smell went away. I was in tears and repented for being a sinner through what seemed like a full few minutes. I know by the smell that it came to stand right in front of me. I have never been so afraid in my life. I left that job three weeks later. Every time I went there I had this overwhelming fear of seeing that things face. I don't think it was a ghost. I don't know what it was.

My grandmother moved into a little beautiful house when she was in her thirties, after her divorce. It was (apparently) perfect for a single woman like herself.

However when the lights were off at night, and she used to sit at her window-sill before bed, she would hear a "clanking" noise like that of a chain. The sound would reverberate around the entire house. When she would go and search for where it came from, she couldn't find the origin. It was a detached house so there were no neighbours conjoined such that the noise could have come from next door.

As the days went on, the noise gradually increased and increased.

Then, one night, when she was sitting at that window gazing out, she saw a reflection in the glass from the faint light outside - the visage of a man, ambling with something like a ball & chain at his feet with that awful clinking noise, seemingly coming towards her. She naturally screamed but when she turned round no one was there. However she still ran out of the house and didn't return that night.

Later that week, she found out that her "house" was built on top of a 19th century prison where men were chained to the walls.

Now, the "reflection" she saw might have been an illusion in the dark, nonetheless when she found out that her house was built on top of what was once an underground prison she was pretty spooked....She had not known this at all beforehand.

Needless to say she moved house soon after

I was in Germany for a while and one morning I had my room window open and I was just standing there
about to close it. All of a sudden I feel this hard poke in my belly and I just start laughing and laughing, I
laughed for a good half hour, quite psychotically. Best godamn laugh of my life, ever since then I've been
hooked on the stuff like smack.

Nothing like a good dose of psychotic laughter.

Seriously though, I thought I was fcked.

Honestly, I thought it was Loki. But he's not real.

Have you noticed that “ghosts” tend to share similar characteristics across different cultures and through ages? Transparent figures, longhaired women, long white garments, presumed dead people, ability to walk through walls and other objects, floating just above the ground or “sliding” above the floor as opposed to walking on it, appearing generally between midnight and dawn, ….

You are aware of how images of movies or holograms are projected. Even with limited human technology, such images can be created. Then you can see how all of the above characteristics and more can be projected quite convincingly with more advanced extraterrestrial technology. Extraterrestrials have been visiting Earth for a very long time for various reasons. They apparently have exploited human tendency for superstition and used their technology to project images to spook people, in order to keep human beings away from their hiding areas.

So “ghosts” are no more spiritual in nature than the images projected by films or holograms. It isn’t ghosts that people need to be concerned about as much as the extraterrestrials that are probably nearby and could potentially abduct those who witness “ghosts.”

You can try doing some research online about it.

A couple of years ago my father brought the house we are living in now. As he was going through the paper work, we were told that the grandmother of the current family had passed away in one of the rooms. It was not a big deal to us because none of us had had encounters with ghosts before so there was no worry. My father did not even believe in ghosts.

Some time passes. We get settled into the new house and neighborhood. Then one day I was talking to my brother and he just casually mentions that something is in his room at night sometimes. I did not think that much of it at first.

One night I was watching television when I sort of felt something on my left shoulder. I assumed it was just from the ceiling fan until my brother walked in to the living room, stopped in front of me and asked, "Do you see that?" while looking at the empty space next to me.

We believe that the ghost of the woman who passed away in the house is still around. Luckily she is very nice though and does not try to hurt anyone.

When I first moved into the house I am living in now in 2009 I had no cause to have any real thoughts of the paranormal other than the usual, watching ghost movies or fact of fiction documentaries , everything was A okay and normal. After a few weeks I had some furniture brought in, a table and mattress and such likes and in my zeal for goodness I had the house blessed by a holy man, amongst my possessions one of the things I owned and still own are some worry beads also blessed.
On the first night in question I put my worry beads on the edge of the table and went to sleep in my bedroom falling into a normal mode of sleep and at some time in the night I was awaken by a loud bang emanating from the kitchen which sounded twice, assuming it was some person at the door I did not bother to get out of bed and went back to sleep, it was not until some weeks later whilst asleep in my bedroom did I actually hear the sound of footsteps pacing up and down in the same bedroom I sleep in, the pacing sounded very angry and again I fell back to sleep ‘what’s a bit of pacing in my bedroom right, after all I could have dreamed it and footsteps cannot harm you right? A few weeks later whilst asleep in my bedroom again I was just about to fall into a deep sleep I felt a large slump right at the foot of my bed by the bed room door, it sort of gave the feeling of someone sitting down in a feeling of helplessness? I went downstairs the next morning to the kitchen a lifted the table twice letting it fall loudly , I was now certain that the banging noise I heard twice was the table in the kitchen falling loudly on the wooden floor twice, as usual I carried on not bothering too much with what was happening in my house, I may add I am the sole legal occupant and live alone and always have done so awaiting my good ladies arrival.
That night as I went to sleep feeling somewhat nervous and as I was just about to fall into a deep sleep I heard a deep exhale directly close to m face letting out a groaning murmur, so yet again I went to sleep, the house has been a place of unsettling since then, I don’t know what it was and still have no idea what it is? , it is a mystery to me?
On the plus side there are a couple of incidents that happened previously to this which I have never mentioned to anyone which I am mentioning now, after my devotions one night before I went to sleep I heard a strong male voice talking in my bedroom, the voice was clear and stilling and even though the voice was in my bedroom it was sort of all around my bedroom and in my head, the voice was not loud or menacing however it was a strong and clear voice, I will not say what the voice said suffice to say it was a good thing.
In relation to this another incident which took place in my old flat where I lived before I moved into this house here.
One morning as I woke up from a goodly night out celebrating when I came home to my flat I had fallen asleep on my sofa in my living room, I was woken by a female voice this time having the same sort of content in my living room yet not loud or shouting nor menacing yet serene and comforting that seemed to be in my head and body and livingroom at the same time, I was wide awake at the same time of this voice greeting me and just as I heard the male voice here in the same way holding a comforting feeling only this time the voice was female, I still have no idea who or what both voices are or were?
The only incident I could connect to any of this was slammer of the table in my kitchen in my house was not a few days after hearing my dad had died I was sleeping in a double cell doing time for how can you say a physical dispute, though I was alone I had the door braced with a chair just in case any officers let them selves in whilst I was sleeping, anyway that was my last night before being allocated to a long term facility, that night before I was transferred I woke up to see a grown man standing over my bed wearing a white tee shirt and white trousers like the kitchen staff, he had sliver hair kept in a pony tail and white greyish beard , I woke up looked at him, he was not menacing so I fell back to sleep and was transferred that next morning, now here’s the thing some years later I saw the same looking fellow sitting on one of the court benches , I expected to get six months for shall we say breech of the peace, he said something to me as I walked up to the doc, by the time I was finished I look around and he had gone, it was the same man I am sure of it and what he said to me I will keep to myself, suffice to say I walk out of court that after expecting to go down for six months, it was the same man I swear and if it was not him then he look liked him for a good reason, that is the only link I have today to all of this, so what do you think to it all?

 

[goodhunter819]

Dont know if anyonwe read my post about my paranormal experienceses, however just before Christams there was an additional happenings, at present I am sleeping in my living room, Idueto an irritation not associated with any paranormal experiences I am sure. On the day in question of the night before, I closed and locked my door and settled down for a night wathcing movies, the heat was normally just about high so my living room was very warm, the next monring when I awoke as I had not put the rug down on my wooden floors that week, I found two drops of blood, when I reached down to touch the two drops of blood the they were still wet (question?) now I know I do not sleep walk and I know I was not bleeding from any part of my body and if the blood came from any part of me in the night it would have been dried by the morning with my living room being so warm, so there you have it, an additional ghostly happenings which I have no idae of and cannot explain? are there any sugesstions or students who have an experienced similar strange happenings to mine? your repsones would be greatly appreciated in trying to piece together just what is going on here in my home? oh and just to say, neighbours have said they have seen shapes moving around and heard voices and in the house where I live when I have been out, though this was said to have happened some time ago, in any event I was not at home at the time, so any responses will be noted for my personal data so that I can send the papers to an expert. ... thank you

So basically what you are saying is that these events are not tied to any one place, but appear to follow you around? Have you ever done anything which may have drawn the paranormal to you?

 

[DawudTalut]

Peace be on you.
Certain cases can be explained:

....................Carbon monoxide poisoning has also been implicated as the cause of apparent haunted houses; symptoms such as delirium and hallucinations have led people suffering poisoning to think they have seen ghosts or to believe their house is haunted......

...Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs after enough inhalation of carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas, but, being colorless, odorless, tasteless, and initially non-irritating, it is very difficult for people to detect. Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete combustion of organic matter due to insufficient oxygen supply to enable complete oxidation to carbon dioxide (CO2). It is often produced in domestic or industrial settings by older motor vehicles and other gasoline-powered tools, heaters, and cooking equipment..........

...Sources of carbon monoxide include cigarette smoke, house fires, faulty furnaces, heaters, wood-burning stoves, internal combustion vehicle exhaust, electrical generators, propane-fueled equipment such as portable stoves, and gasoline-powered tools such as leaf blowers, lawn mowers, high-pressure washers, concrete cutting saws, power trowels, and welders...

[Parsimony]

Indeed, carbon monoxide has been implicated in hauntings before. It couldn't hurt to have a carbon monoxide detector installed as a safety precaution. Nevertheless, I would find the carbon monoxide explanation strange if the ghosts seem to follow him from one location to another. Could the source of carbon monoxide be some device/appliance that he brings with him? Illness often accompanies such poisoning as well, so we should see if can confirm or deny that symptom.

Sometimes i wish i could just live without thinking about religion, spirits, and things of that sort but what i saw and vividly remember from my childhood won't let me.

My first experience was when i was about 3 or 4 years old. Didn't really have much of a concept of age and time at that moment, so not sure of my exact age, but it was less than 5, cuz i wasn't in school yet. I'm really surprised i can remember back that far, but this is a thought that i think of all the time. It's seriously stuck in my mind, as well as a memory of killing a bird by accident as i was sliding in it's feeding tray (in the same apartment). I think that's the day i learned about death now that i think about it.
Anyway, One morning i was laying in bed with my parents, and I was wide awake as the sun was rising. I remember looking at the wall and just noticing the shadows. There was a shadow of a rocking chair that was in the roiom. Around the shadow of the chair were 2 more shadows of what looked like small children dancing and playing around the chair. I remember the shadows sitting on and climbing on the shadow of the chair. I just remember watching this like it was a TV show for a long time.
I never thought much about it until i realized shadows don't normally do that unless they have a body. I still think about it to this day and can easily picture it in my head.

My other experience happened about 5 years later in my basement room. I was upset about something one night and i was crying on my bed. After i finished being sad and burying my face in my pillow, i turned around and saw a mostly transparent face with a very clear grin on it right in front of my face. I froze w/ fear as it just stared at me and smiled. I remember the chills just building up to the point i had to spring up and start running away screaming. I ran upstairs and told my parents what i saw. They told me it was "probably my guardian angel", as they were devout christians. I answered that " if it was my guardian angel, why did it scare me so much?" Of course they didn't know.

Since that night, i haven't had any other "paranormal" experiences w/ a sober mind.
I still experience odd things, but nothing as clear and pure as those childhood memories...
For those 2 memories that i cannot destroy whatsoever, Ive become convinced that there's so much more going on than what most ppl choose to believe, but it CAN be perceived.

 

[Parsimony]

The older memories are, the more distorted they can become. Hallucinations can happen in the sane as well. People who are grieving have a tendency to hallucinate seeing the person whom they have lost. Could your second account be some example of that? Had you fallen asleep at any point in time? It would seem rather strange for there to be only two paranormal events in your home if it was indeed haunted. Have your parents ever been witness to anything odd?

These occurred in 2 different settings. I very often wonder if i just had a very active imagination. I'd like to just tell myself that, but i don't like to lie, and it feels like I'm lying to myself when i think that.
My parents never told me about anything they experienced, ever. They were terrible at communication and still are.

I've experienced hallucinations before also, that's a whole different story. Those hallucinations were the closest i've come to experiencing anything like what i did as a child, and that was my intention.
The experiences have been on the top of my head, almost weighing me down since i can remember. I just scare most ppl away when i tell them, but i can't help it because it's such a huge part of my life still. I'm starting to see it as a good reason to drink my mind away, but i already have enough problems ATM.

 

[Parsimony]

Why do you see these events as being so troubling? Plenty of people report seeing apparitions of one type or another. It's not like they are harassing you on a regular basis.
