Have you ever met a ghost???

Anyone with ghost experiences or other eerie happenings to share?
I have 3:
1. The spookiest - I was separated from my former husband when he appeared to me in a dream and grabbed my wrist and tried dragging me through the dark. It was so real, and I couldn't scream - finally i managed to tell him, "Let me go! You can't take me - you're a ghost!" and he sped away like an untied balloon with this zipping noise like the sound of a sleeping bag zipper. Unknown to me, HE WAS DEAD AT THE TIME AND was cremated the morning following my dream.
2. I had a waking dream of an old Indian laying down, surrounded by the elder women, and he was doing his death chant. I couldn't wake up and I couldn't go back to sleep. When he began making gurgling noises, I approached to try CPR and the women charged me, to let him alone. I felt like I was falling thru space and then woke up. I found out that my teen daughter and her friends were doing "spell" to call a ghost that night, in the bedroom next door, with the door closed.
3. I dreamed that I was driving at night and suddenly see a woman pushing a stroller and holding a little girl by the hand. They were in long, black "widow's weeds". I swerved and then look into my rearview mirror to see them being run over by a car behind me. I dreamed that same dream 3 times in one work week; the next Saturday night, I assisted a 12yo girl in a highway accident; her mother was killed on impact - being the first on scene, I was the one to find out she was gone. I rode to the hospital with the girl, to comfort her, and found out that the mother was pregnant.

Yes I have actually...Twice.

I have many times! The most profound experiences I had were when we visited a civil war battlefield in Tennessee.

Yes. .

I've dreamt about people who are since passed, however I have not personally gone up and shake hands with one.

However B has. One example of the many: He grew up in a very rural white farm community and his "imaginary" friend growing up was a black lady with red hair named Luann. The house that he grew up in was extremely haunted according to some members of the family (others said they weren't bothered by the house) and believed to have been part of the underground railroad. He told me that she actually followed him to college and he hasn't seen her since.

Come on...don't tease us like that!

I had a couple weird experiences in my teens, but that's it.

NO thank god!

If I ever feel that I'm perceptive to ghosts, I block it out. It gives me the creeps like no tomorrow!

I do block it out now... I don't like weird shadows ball things creeping across my ceiling while I'm trying to go to sleep at night, they can go bother someone else. Interestingly, that cut my headaches down from daily to only 3 or 4 times a week.

As for "meet", no. None have stopped, introduced themselves, or offered to shake hands. They or it would pop up in a room (at my old house) and it would be a race to see who disappeared first, usually me...running out of the room.

I used to live in an apartment in a really old house. One night I felt as if someone had put their arm around me and was cuddling me. I jumped up and switched on the light and there was no-one there. My cousin suggested if it happened again wait and see what happens next.

A couple of weeks later, I was sleeping and I felt the same thing and as if someone was holding my hand. I remembered what my cousin said and waited. Next thing I felt my hand being squeezed really tightly as if they were trying to break my fingers! I turned suddenly and there was a shadow over my bed, a faceless thing wearing white. I jumped up again and it disappeared.

It probably was just a dream but it felt very real. I moved out not long after!

i have never really seen a ghost, but the closest i came to one was in my bathroom a few months ago. My bf had gone into the bathroom and afterward came upstairs looking really freaked out. when i asked him what was wrong, he said "did my sister wake up and say anything to the baby?" i said no why? (her bedroom was across frm ours and above the bathroom) then he was like, "well when i was in the bathroom i heard some one say 'Hey Baby', but i thought it was my sister talkin to the baby." i said no she didnt say anything i would have heard her. we shook that off, and i eventually forgot about it believe it or not. but later the same night i went into the bathroom and i heard some one say hello to me it was CLEAR AS DAY. i freaked out and ran up to tell my bf and for the longest time i made him go down with me when i needed to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. i never heard anything else since but i still think about i alll the time

I haven't seen the ghost that lives at my in-law's house but it sure pranked me pretty good. It dragged my birthday balloon all over the upstairs. Before you say "it was the wind", it was making 90 degree turns and going up and down through the door frames.

My hubby has and experienced a lot at his parents house. He said he's seen a ghost cat upstairs a few times too. We lived at his parents house after we were married for about 6 months. He worked nights, the cats would be on the bed with me, and there were definitely noises in the hallway. I have sooooo many night lights because of living there. Mike and his cousin have plenty of stories about activity there---objects flying through the air. I think the ghost is a bit of a prankster though. The balloon incident with me, and Mike has a story of how the ghost woke his parents up when he came in late at night while in high school.

We rented an apartment while I was still in college that I am pretty sure was haunted. It was an old house split into apartments, and the hallway to the basement was right out our door. I had a couple creepy experiences doing laundry at night--so I stopped doing laundry at night. I would also hear noises like someone on the stairs. When no one was there.

Mike rented several apartments that were very much haunted while he was single. One he later found out there was some brutal things that had happened there. Another one the ghost would hide things. I remember him calling me shortly after we started dating...he had torn his apartment apart for several days. Couldn't find his remotes (I think 4 or so) anywhere. He woke up one morning and they were lined up perfectly on his table like they were never gone. We never did find his cd cases.... He said that ghost would take shoes and hide them or arrange them after parties too.

While I have not seen a ghost, one of my sisters has. She worked at a salt mine and the offices on the property sat on the spot if an old house. The house was torn down some years before. Well one night as she is walking through the office, she sees this thing dart into the conference room. She didn't get a real good look at it, but went to go find what it was as it was small and kinda looked like an animal. Well she didn't find it. She saw the same thing several weeks later and got a better look and it looked like a black cat. She went to go look for it again, and again nothing. She asked her coworkers if they saw anything, they all said no. Another night as she arrived at work she saw it once again. This time she as she tried to follow it, she smelled poo, no poo to be found in the room where it was smelled. None of the other worked reported as seeing it. Some of the others who work a different shift have told her that they have see the cat and smelled the poo from time to time. Also the cat has been 'seen' in the office for years and years. Every time she had seen the cat all doors and windows to the office have been closed and locked so no way for the cat to get in or out.

My ghost stories are in there somewhere.

There is defintely a ghost in the apartment where I live now.

When I was younger, I seen an older man ghost. He decided to show himself to me 3 different times times so I knew that it wasn't just my imagination. I remember everything about him as if it were yesterday. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. From that day on, I knew ghosts exist!

He was an older gentleman who had this sense of calm about him. The 3 times I saw him, he was walking up our stairs, then walking into my bedroom, then doing the thinking pose in front of my parents bedroom. He had a full head of salt/pepper colored hair & he was wearing a judges uniform. He was transparent & didn't have any feet, he just gently floated to wherever he was going. That was so cool to be able to see that

The most wildest thing that happened is when my TV went crazy. One day my TV kept changing the channels, the volume kept going up & down, it kept turning off & on. I even unplugged my TV & it was still happening! Awesome that it happened but it was freaky

I believe that the gentleman ghost was trying to get my attention but I was too freaked out. I still wonder who he is & if hes still at our old house To this day, I hear whispers of little children, faint music from the 20s/30s, soft touches when no ones around, items will disappear then reappear out in the open...weird stuff like that. Ghosts are fascinating, we'd love to go to haunted places!

Many of them! I think they are family members. When my father passed away, at the wake after the funeral, I kept seeing him in my parents' house out of the corner of my eye. I would turn and .... nothing. He was dressed in a white dress shirt and dark dress slacks. And a day or two later I saw a dark form pass from the dining room into the bathroom. My mom and sister had the same experiences. I also would be driving along and suddenly be enveloped in the smell of Mennen Skin Bracer - which he wore. It would be very strong for a few seconds and then disappear. I had a psychic tell me that he is with me, looking out after me, apparently he doesn't like the fact that my BF is not the same religion and background as me! :-)

I also lost my oldest sister in a tragic and sudden way, which sometimes roots spirits in their surroundings. There were all kinds of spooky happenings around that time. I was asleep and woke up to hear the crashing of glass down in the kitchen... but I was too exhausted to get up and see what was going on. The next morning, we came down to find the coffee pot carafe was sitting on the counter, shattered. It had been washed and set IN the dish drainer - not perched on anything - set in there upside down by ifself. It was right side up on the counter NEXT to the dish drain board, like someone had picked it up and slammed it down on the counter. In my condo- I have lots of photos on top of the entertainment cabinet - there is one in particular with all of my nieces and nephews. Over the course of several weeks, sometimes I would come downstairs in the morning and the family photos were out of place! I didn't move them, didn't have a kitty jumping on the cabinet... finally, I said out loud - "hey, if you want to look at the photos, that's fine, just put them back in the same place b/c you're creeping me out." The photos stopped being displaced.

Also, I was sitting on my sofa and there was a stack of magazines on the table next to me - not on the edge or unbalanced or anything.. and suddently, they slid onto the floor, as if pushed by a hand. Flop, flop, flop.


I have dreamt many times of people in my room and I have been awakened by a shaking bed... also like someone was sitting on it and jouncing up and down... I have heard voices whisper my name in my ear - actually it was my sister's voice and my other sister had that happen the exact same night!

BTW - I am a firm believer that once our bodies are gone, that something akin to spirit/soul/psychic energy remains and sometimes doesn't move on right away.

Yep, I've met a few here and there.

This one was just odd and its my most recent encounter.

Tucson visited me a few weeks ago. I was waiting for Quill to come into my room, felt the distinct heaviness of a cat on my bed, felt the paws going across the mattress. When I sat up to give my cuddle, there was no cat there at all, and Quill is pretty easy to see in the dark. I even said hello, thinking Quill was being a little bit more snuggly than he usually is. As I sat up, the "cat" paused and jumped off of my bed. It was SO WEIRD. But I think it was Tucson.
