Ghosts..., ... Or whatever you choose to call them! Options

[Steinway]

My family and I have had many different spiritual experiences if you like, over the years, and last night we were talking about a few of them (I don't know why we always end up talking about it at night!! It's always so much more spooky then! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ).

Anyway, it got me thinking about the forums, and how I could start a topic concerning this; as it would be very interesting to read about any things you may have seen etc.

Soooo.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/anyone.gif)

Never had any real ones myself but these are a few family members have spoken of.

My uncle absolutely hates staying at my house....why? because he thinks it's haunted. It's not an amazingly old house (1930's) but he says he always hears noises...doors slamming etc...and only at our house. So yeh...according to my uncle I live in a haunted house.

The next ghostly experience was recently. My nan and uncle live together and recently my grandad passed away. Well this one night my uncle was asleep in bed and my nan watching TV downstairs...next minute my uncle wakes up and my nan starts to walk up the stairs because both of them hear the music box in my nans room...no one else was in the house except them two and neither of them wound up the music box, but someone had...it just so happens that everynight around the time of this incident my grandad went to bed and every night without fail he'd wind up the musicbox and listen to the tune before he went to sleep...

My sister took a photo in a castle when we were children, and the uncanny thing is, it looks like you can see faces and figures - loads of them, but yet we were the only ones in that area of the castle at the time....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Have never seen a ghost etc but frequently have odd things happen eg a year after a burglary at our house, I was cooking a meal and suddenly started thinking about it, when it hadn't crossed my mind in months. The phone rang a few minutes later and the police had just arrested the man who did it.

When we were first married we bought a thatched cottage in a village below Edge Hill in Warwickshire, where the Battle of Edge Hill was fought. Apparently the people we bought the house from had seen a roundhead on the stairs one day. I never saw anything, but my mother would never sleep in the guest bedroom because she said she had seen someone, who became known as Charlie, and she was terrified of that room.

The local vicar was driving home with a companion in his car late at night, and they both saw a horse and rider come through the hedge on one side of the lane, cross the lane, and through the hedge on the other side.

On a certain night of the year, apparently if you look into the sky at a certain time you can see the Battle of Edge Hill being re-enacted.

My friend thinks that the living room in my house is haunted

When I was in Holland with the school, i was sharing a room with my friends in the hotel, and we all went tabogonning.
After we had we all bought a round of chips each to share, and some drinks at the cafe next to it.

Afterwards, before we went back to the hotel, we were allowed to go shopping around the town.
We were in a shop and my friend spotted something she wanted, but couldnt find her purse!, she looked everywhere in her bag but couldnt find it, but she had bought chips and drinks with it at the cafe!

We decided to go back to the hotel to tell the teachers that we thought she had left it at the taboggoning place, but the teachers were out shopping.
We then went up to our room, and there lying on our frends bed, was her purse...

We dont know what happened to it, because she had it and was buying drinks and chips with it at the taboggoning place, but then it was at the hotel, and there was only one key to our room, and we had it, and nobody had been in our room!

spooky!! we were all really freaked out!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eek.gif)

I saw that once. The acting was rubbish.

Oh yeah, I remember going down! It was very exciting!

Whoever composed the incidental music was hired on a cheap budget though...

I remember once going for a walk with my sister late in the evening (11pm, pitch-black) and our 4 dogs (before the real cd....) and we were intending to walk down and round the campsite as we often did at that kind of time as it was closed for the winter season, but as we walked along the main road, I started to get a really uneasy feeling about it, but hesitated to say anything in case she thought I was being stupidly paranoid.......after a while I decided to speak up, and she said "I'm so glad you said that because I'd had exactly the same feeling but thought you'd think me daft...." needless to say, we changed our walk to the local playing field instead..... I'll never know what would have happened if we'd gone down to the campsite - maybe nothing....but it was a bit uncanny the way we both had exactly the same thought at the same time....

I think most "spooky" things are a load of twaddle, either "seen" by someone who is spooked and expecting to see something OR had a few too many beers and ghost stories. BUT, then there are the stories which are hard to explain away by logic.
Years ago, I was on night duty, and there was a small toddler who had a brain tumour. The child moaned in a certain way almost constantly when awake. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) In the night, I suddenly smelled hyacinths, heard the child gurgling happily and I turned around to look at the cot. In the blink of an eye, I saw the nurse bending over the cot comforting the child. I blinked and she was gone. She had long clothes and a long veil-like cap on.
I turned to the Sister on duty with me and stated to say" Did you see that..........." , and she interrupted me rudely and snapped back at me" I didn't and neither did you". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angry.gif)
No I wasn't scared, the ghost obviously was able to do something that I couldn't.
