Ghosts

[SpurinDallas]

Didn't feel like digging through the archives and look for a "ghost" thread. But do you believe in them? We have ghostly or unexplainable activity in our house that comes and goes. My wife was always the biggest skeptic, until now. Anyone live in a haunted house, or grew up in one?

Got lots of experiences in the 6 years we've lived in our home, not to mention the house I grew up in as a kid.

[Leetonidas]

I don't believe in ghosts at all tbh but for some reason I like reading people's ghostly tales, even if I think it tends to be embellished. Tell us about your experiences

I dont even know where to start. Have seen things, inanimate objects being thrown off the table before our very eyes. (This is what FINALLY made my wife a believer, btw)

Once incident that happened in broad daylight once. I was laying on the couch watching TV, its about 7 pm, during the summer. No dark, rainy night or anything like that. All of a sudden, I see someone walk passed the doorway in the hall, clear as day. Didn't see this out of the "corner of my eye" or anything like that. My daughter was with my wife in our bedroom, opposite side of the hallway and I texted my wife what I just saw because I didnt want to freak out my then 9 yr old daughter. My wife responds without skipping a beat by text, "yeah. I saw the same thing last week while you were still at work."

does she see this ghost a lot while you're at work?

[Woo Bum-kon]

No, I'm not retarded.

[SpurinDallas]

LOL, I knew someone would say something stupid. :lol

[SpurinDallas]

No, I'm not retarded.

So then how do you explain the unexplainable? Swamp gas?

[Woo Bum-kon]

What the fuck are you talking about?

[SpurinDallas]

What the fuck are you talking about?

Seems like swamp gas is the preferred answer when skeptics can't explain ghostly apparitions or mysterious lights, etc...

[Woo Bum-kon]

:lol can't explain

Why can't any of the people who claim to have encountered ghosts provide any evidence? Can you explain that?

[cantthinkofanything]

:lol can't explain

Why can't any of the people who claim to have encountered ghosts provide any evidence? Can you explain that?

I've got evidence. Pictures.

[SpurinDallas]

:lol can't explain

Well, I don't sit around with a camera attached to my right hand. And usually, I'm not given any warning as to when something paranormal might happen

[Woo Bum-kon]

Cool story, bro.

[bus driver]

I've got evidence. Pictures.


:ttiwwp:



btw never experienced any ghosts or anything like that.

true and good point, but do you believe the paranormal tv shows? sometimes i watch them and think they are full of shit because it is hard to tell what is edited or what they do to make a show. although not sure what i do if i saw some unexplained shit.

This was back in the 80's. We were living a few miles from an old Indian burial ground. What we didn't realize was that the developer had actually built over the western portion of the burial ground. We'd hear weird noises all the time and stuff would be moved around the house. Also, any kind of television reception was very bad. One day, we were just playing around with a new camera that we got for Christmas. We didn't realize it at the time but it had film in it and was taking pictures. Anyway, a few months later, we got the film developed and were shocked to find the following:

Yeah, most of the things on tv are done for ratings, imo.

I don't believe the Investigative shows much, like Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures, but I am a fan of My Ghost Story. Those are just everyday people giving their accounts, and some of the video and audio they have is unbelievable.

[mrsmaalox]

Well I don't believe in ghosts. But I have a cousin who believes in anything paranormal and for years has been complaining about unexplainable happenings in her home. Her 18 yr old daughter has suddenly started to experience things also; so they contacted one of those "ghost chaser" shows (I don't know which one, I don't watch those) and they sent a crew to her house for a preliminary evaluation. They documented enough "activity" to book a weekend long filmed investigation at her house for next month.....I'll let you guys know the when/where it'll be on tv when I find out ;)

Yup, still, after all these years! My wife actually mentioned something about wanting to move out because she feels creeped out by it now.

[JudynTX]

Have you ever had Ghost Hunters come to your home?

Do you ever see your Mom? :)

[SpurinDallas]

Have you ever had Ghost Hunters come to your home?

Do you ever see your Mom? :)

No, I don't like Ghost Hunters. James and I were talking about doing an investigation but we can never get it planned out.

And no to that answer. I dream her alot, but not in that sense.

[JudynTX]

I wish I had more dreams about my mom.

Does your house get cold at times? Do you have one of those EVP machines?

[SpurinDallas]

I wish I had more dreams about my mom.

Does your house get cold at times? Do you have one of those EVP machines?

Nope. No "sudden gusts of cold air" or anything like that. I don't have a digital recorder either.

Only thing we have all seen at the same time was when we were eating lunch one day and something flew off the table right in front of us, like got thrown towards the wall. This was about 4 years ago. That was the first time my wife started to finally believe in something paranormal. There was no explanation for that

[SpurinDallas]

I wish I had more dreams about my mom.

Oh and by the way, that poem you sent me, I used that when I delivered my mother's eulogy.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I have a friend that's from Australia. He lived with his girlfriend and one day one asked the other(dont remember who asked who) why their feet was shaking restlessly the night before. The one who got asked then said they were going to ask the other that same question. They had no dogs or cats. This happens for a while off and on then stops. They move. Not because of this. They just do. It happens again at the new place.They bought a new bed and it stopped. Fast forward a few years to Dallas. My friend has a crazy sleep schedule and usually wrote music into the wee hours of the night. One night he was writing music so late that he slept in the music room. The next day his wife(another girl, not the girlfriend from Australia) asks him why his legs were so restless that night. He told him he slept in the music room that night.

You've been in the same place for over 4 years with that shit happening?

[SpurinDallas]

You've been in the same place for over 4 years with that shit happening?

Yes, actually 6. It's never seemed threatening to evil, just there.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Thousands of people go out to these haunted places and haven't found a shred of evidence. So no I don't believe in ghosts

Maybe she just wants to leave you b/c you're insane.

Evidence kinda helps the credibility of the subject.

Just sayin'...

[baseline bum]

So then how do you explain the unexplainable? Swamp gas?

It's unexplainable.... so here's the explanation.

[SpurinDallas]

:lol Maybe. I always wonder why she sticks around. It sure as hell ain't for the money.

tbh, it would be difficult to sway skeptics even with evidence. For the most part, non-believers will stay that way, and believers will stick with what they believe. IMO

[mavs>spurs]

there have actually been very few real documented sightings that have been checked out and determined not to be fake...one is the "running man" at some cemetery. when i was younger, my grandparents had a ton of money and had a rich person hobby of collecting antiques, their houses was weird as shit. nothing over the top like objects flying around the room, but some pretty weird stuff happened.

I thought when religious people die they go to heaven or hell.

What religion states that ghosts can remain on earth around the area that they died in order to rattle some dishes and make shadow puppets?

most of these are fake, but the running man is real

6OwaafssECo

[mavs>spurs]

the running man has been validated by tons and tons of people. i think some "hauntings" are residual, not intelligent at all.

The guys from Everyday Paranormal (based out of San Antonio and were on the show Ghost Lab) have said the same thing. Most of the one "hauntings" they've come across were residual.

[mavs>spurs]

at river legacy park here in arlington there are several rumored hauntings that have been well noted through the years..all of which are just basically playing the same scene out over and over and over again. there's gotta be some scientific way to explain it, such as residual energy making a mark on the environment or something.

Faith. :rolleyes

[mavs>spurs]

i know that it's cool and trendy for the athiest crowd to not believe in ghosts and i don't necessarily believe in "intelligent" hauntings myself, but you could never tell me that there aren't residual hauntings. seen too much shit to think otherwise.

Same here. Although I believe in both. With residual hauntings, I think history has put its stamp at a particular location for whatever reason.

When I hear footsteps in the middle of the night on our hardwood floors, I chalk that up to something residual.

When we see things flying off our dinner table in the middle of the day for no apparent reason, I think some "thing" is trying to get our attention, so I chalk that up to an intelligent haunting.

That doesn't make any sense. If something can throw shit off your table, don't you think it can also stomp around at night?

[SpurinDallas]

That doesn't make any sense. If something can throw shit off your table, don't you think it can also stomp around at night?

Of course. I hear the footsteps so much now that I find it weird when I DON'T hear them at night. I don't know what to make of it all.

Have you called it out and demanded it to stop? Or used a Ouija Board?

If a cat dies and haunts the house, would that be an intelligent haunting or a dumb animal haunting?

Or do you think only humans leave residual energy?

[SpurinDallas]

Have you called it out and demanded it to stop? Or used a Ouija Board?

Ouija board, hell no. Have used dowsing rods though. Crazy shit there.

I have called out to it. Just asked that as long as it isn't evil doesn't try to scare the living shit out of us at 3 in the morning, then its welcome to stay.

The Ouija is currently the most efficient method today for 2 way communication with the dead. I would encourage you to give it a try.

Also, if it is potentially evil, then why let it stay? You should have just kept it simple and demanded that it leave.

okay, we know you don't believe, and that is fine, but can you not hijack the damn thread, or does your ego prevent you from doing that?

[cantthinkofanything]

How much does evil insurance cost?

I don't think they offer that here in the states. I believe that some underwriters in the UK do provide insurance against hauntings. But I think they are mostly commercial policies and would be cost prohibitive for a homeowner.

[TE]

People have to experience paranormal activity to believe.

^even if it makes seem them crazy imo

[SpurinDallas]

One night we were playing poker at my house. Then, I heard a scratching on the floor in the formal dining room, like something was being dragged. Apparently, everyone heard it because everyone looked up towards that part of the house at the same time. And I laughed it off telling them it was the ghost. We blew it off. Eventually we forgot about it and I walked them out after we were done playing poker. Didn't notice until the next morning that 2 of the chairs were pulled out from underneath the table, as if someone pulled them out to sit down. This was our formal dining room where we eat in a few times a year, and the chairs are always positioned underneath the table because it drives my wife crazy to have them pulled out. Weird stuff.

[RaZon]

I had to sleep on the ( entire family meeting at my great grandma's) couch, must have been...hmmm?..6/7 years old. I was awaken by my granny. She smiled at me, patted my head and then walked away.

We were all there because she was dying (yes she was home, nothing a hospital/doctor could do, she was 98). My mother woke me, then told me that granny had passed away in the night.

Grandma was bed ridden, no way she could have awaken me on the couch. This was no dream.

I know yall might knock this but when I was a teen, I always had a habit of falling asleep in church.Twice on 2 different occasions, I LITERALLY, I swear to you guys, LITERALLY felt a slap across my face that would jerk me awake. It felt like an electrical shock to put it into perspective. I never awoke like this in my whole life, it only happened in the church.

I've always held on to these experiences that tells me that death is not the end.

[benefactor]

My dad's side of the family talked about seeing grandma in the pasture, but it's hard to believe many of them because they are a bunch of rednecks. It's kinda like believing rednecks who saw aliens.

However, my cousin did have some strange stuff happen in an apartment he and his girlfriend were living in. We were close as brothers at the time and he's just not the type to bullshit about something like this. There were several things he told me but the two I remember the most were him losing his shoe and some things that happened with the Christmas tree. He was getting ready for work one day and put his shoes beside the bed. He went into the other room for a few minutes and when he came back one shoe was missing. He looked everywhere for it but could not find it. He thought it was weird but just shrugged it off and went and got another pair and left. About a week went by and he came home from work to find his shoe...right beside the bed where left it initially.

With the Christmas tree it was the angel getting knocked off. Not long after they put the tree up the angel would wind up on the floor every time they got home from work. They had a cat, so naturally he figured he was the culprit. He took wire and secured the angel tightly to the top of the tree...to the point where you would have to unwire it to get it off. He came home that evening to find the top of the tree bent over and the angel...and wire...on the floor.

They moved out right after that.

[mavs>spurs]

credible source i know used to have a job as a janitor at a church..he once was cleaning with the place locked up and saw a woman praying through the window, once he went in there to tell her the place was closed she had disappeared and the door he came through was the only way in or out. he starts looking up and down the isles for someone ducked down hiding and nothing.

So just because someone else doesn't have "evidence", you don't believe?

As a general rule thats how I operate. When its something that is reputed to be fairly common and there isn't a shred of credible evidence then I hold that position even more earnestly.

There were several things he told me but the two I remember the most were him losing his shoe and some things that happened with the Christmas tree. He was getting ready for work one day and put his shoes beside the bed. He went into the other room for a few minutes and when he came back one shoe was missing. He looked everywhere for it but could not find it. He thought it was weird but just shrugged it off and went and got another pair and left. About a week went by and he came home from work to find his shoe...right beside the bed where left it initially.

With the Christmas tree it was the angel getting knocked off. Not long after they put the tree up the angel would wind up on the floor every time they got home from work. They had a cat, so naturally he figured he was the culprit. He took wire and secured the angel tightly to the top of the tree...to the point where you would have to unwire it to get it off. He came home that evening to find the top of the tree bent over and the angel...and wire...on the floor.

They moved out right after that.
Forgot to mention that as they were getting ready to move out my cousin mentioned to the manager kinda casually about strange things happening in the apartment. The manager told him that this wasn't the first time he'd heard something like that and that there were several apartments in that particular building that had similar complaints.

Has anyone ever seen a million dollars? Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesnt exist.

Don't know if serious.

[JudynTX]

me and judyn have things called faith
we dont need evidence or proof of such things we just assume a book tells us these things exist and we believe


The Ouija is currently the most efficient method today for 2 way communication with the dead. I would encourage you to give it a try.

Also, if it is potentially evil, then why let it stay? You should have just kept it simple and demanded that it leave.

Seriously, Quija boards work?

[BlackSwordsMan]

i tell jesus take the ouija board wheel and hold my hand and guide me safely through an answer

[Blake]

What is wrong with so many of you here? Great topic and still some of you just have to fuck it up...why? GROW THE FUCK UP..sheesh!

Have you seen your grandma's ghost recently, or was the only time when you were 6 years old.

[cantthinkofanything]

Of course.

[703 Spurz]

Yes, actually 6. It's never seemed threatening to evil, just there.

True. Even with that I'd prob still shit my pants. When I watch Ghost Hunters, Grant will tell the people that as long as the entity isn't threatening, there isn't anything to really be concerned about.

If he told me that honestly that shit wouldn't really comfort me.

I feel ya. I used to feel like that at first and then one time, all the activity stopped for about 6 months. No chairs moving, footsteps, we heard a child's voice once, it all stopped. I remember telling my wife that the house was now too quiet. It picked up again, but doesn't seem intent on scaring us away. It/They is/are just there

Nah. Had 1 owner before us, built in 91. I live out in a suburb of Dallas next to a wooded area. Less than a mile away is an old cemetery. Went to check it out with my daughter during the day once and most of the graves are marked in the 1800's and early 1900's. BUt other than that, nothing too unusual

yes, they can be quite dangerous. One time after talking with the dead, we left the board on the coffee table and then went out for a while. When we came back, our living room had been burned up. Luckily we had our video camera running and it caught the board spontaneously combusting.

As far as pics, this next one was very interesting to me. We weren't sure if it was a person or a ghost. But after we talked to the locals, we found out that people hadn't been seen in this area in years.

Cantthinkofanything...that really doesn't sit right with me. Couple of questions, and likewise you don't have to answer. Do you remember what the board said during that last session? And also, are you sure you guys were the ones that left the camera running?

Obviously it's your life and your choice but like I said, it's no good.


Real photos? Surreal. :wow

Was that taken near the home that was partially built on the burial ground? Were you able to see that thing at the time you took the photo?

Tbh those pictures remind me of something but I can't seem to fully make the connection.

And also, what did this "ghost" do?


Yes I do, y?

I was thinking that maybe your subconscious picked up on something while you were checking out the cemetery or what have you. Do you recall having any strange dreams?

We may or may not have been the ones to turn on the camera. It's strange because neither of us have ever owned a camera.

As to the pic...something strange is going on. This picture was orignally of my house with the cemetery in the background. And in the negatives, you can see where the house and cemetery are supposed to be. But when I asked the locals, they said that the cemetery had been moved back in the 40's. And that there was never a house near that ghost.

Strange. Were the Native American tribes in that area nomadic or something? If you're seeing a cemetery that isn't there any more maybe there's something similar going on with the house? Did this ghost say or do anything that gave you a clue as to who/what it was?


I've experienced hauntings long before living in my current house, and long before checking out this old cemetery. And crazy dreams, sure, I think everyone has them from time to time

Yeah but I guess what I'm looking for is something to extrapolate from. You've seen strange things happen and I guess I was hoping that you'd had a dream or something to that effect that could help shed some light on the situation.

Unless you've got more experiences to share?

It was all about you to begin with. You're ego has prevented us from getting anywhere.

Anyway, my "ghost" story...

Before my grandmother died she told my mom that she'd be watching over everyone, and she told my mom she'd ring our doorbell three times...a couple months later, our (really long and annoying) house doorbell rang...my mom checked it and nobody was there...rang a second time, nobody there...rang a third time, nobody there.

Are you calling me a liar? Or is your way of thinking the only way that matters in the universe?

:rolleyes

I'd feel bad if I knew you had the answer.

[mingus]

For someone named The Skeptic, you're really gullible.

Shouldn't you be suspending your belief until he tells you that he's for real and not trolling you and trying to be ironic with his name? That goes for both you and Blake. Both ya'll are fake skeptics.

[redzero]

Shouldn't you be waiting for a ghost to ring your doorbell? If you're quick, you might catch her.

[TheSkeptic]

For someone named The Skeptic, you're really gullible.

*shrug* Not really. I've just lived long enough to know better than to handwave other people's experiences just because they sound implausible to me. I don't attack people who are relating events they've lived through as a default position whether I'm on the Internet or not.

And in any case, when it comes to stuff like this it's a lot more interesting to sit down and approach it from different angles while keeping people's safety in mind. It gives an opportunity to practice both inductive and deductive reasoning and since these guys sound significantly older than me I'm not going to operate on the assumption that they're lying although I acknowledge the possibility.

There could still be a natural explanation for a few of these stories and in any case it's possible to entertain an idea without becoming a Ghost Buster. :rolleyes



I've got a lot

Do tell.

[redzero]

Yes, really. You are quite gullible if you couldn't tell that cantthinkofanything wasn't serious.

[Blake]

Your reading comprehension failure and pain filled ass keeps you from getting where you want to go.

[Blake]

Are you calling me a liar? Or is your way of thinking the only way that matters in the universe?

No, I'm saying cantthinkofanything's picture was laughably fake.

lol another lecture

Don't take it out on others because you are too stupid to figure out if a picture is fake or not.

[Reck]

Yes, really. You are quite gullible if you couldn't tell that cantthinkofanything wasn't serious.

Alot of "I want to believe" people here then I thought.

[TheSkeptic]

Yes, really. You are quite gullible if you couldn't tell that cantthinkofanything wasn't serious.

Seriously? You don't have to fully believe a story to entertain an idea. If it'll help you out, I don't believe in ghosts at all.

I can't believe I'm having to explain this as well but I didn't buy the first photo (like I said earlier the story and the picture were vaguely familiar to me even if I can't place it) and I was initially responding more to the commentary on the board than anything else. That's primarily because I know those things are actually really sticky.

The .jpg on the second photo had something in on "fake ghost" by the quote. I decided to go with the text because that was the more interesting angle and the setting is similar to a concept I was already dabbling with. And while there was good reason to think he was joking around, in the off chance that cantthinkofanything was recounting something that had happened to him with the second one there was nothing to be gained by being antagonistic. Otherwise I would've just made a mental note on him and moved on since I'm not as familiar with him as you are and I try to engage people before categorizing them.

While I do have my personal thoughts on ghosts and walking spirits, I'm not going to argue with the experiences of other people. Especially if I wasn't there to prove or disprove it either way. By asking questions, getting more information, and listening rather than refuting, there's always a chance of solving the puzzle or learning something new. It's great mental exercise and besides, I'm more inclined to think that a few of the posters in this thread are being genuine.

Idk. Maybe it's different for you and Blake but wearing my doubts on my sleeve has just never been a productive means of communicating with people for me. I am constantly evaluating and asking questions but I don't feel the need to beat my conversation partners over the head with that when there's gentler ways of getting the information I want and eventually making my point if it comes to that. But even then I won't claim to know everything with a topic like this one so there's nothing accomplished by arguing.

Not to mention that it's often easier to get people to agree with you if you're not going out of your way to treat them all like idiots... That's a skill worth having imo.

[redzero]

Being able to get a point across in a few sentences is also a skill worth having.

I too was wondering about the history of the home. Is your daughter experiencing anything?

She hears the same things we do. The only time she has ever seen anything was about 5 years ago. I was in one of our guest bedrooms that we used as our home office paying bills one night after dinner. Should also note, this is the part of the house where we have seen someone walk across the hallway and where the dowsing rods I was using one time went completely nuts. Anyway, I'm on the computer taking care of business. I can hear the water running in the kitchen where Mrs. SpurinDallas was washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen. I can also hear my daughter going in and out of her bedroom, which is across from the home office I was sitting in. I hear her come out of her room, go back in her room, and then come into the office and she asks, "where did mommy go?" This whole time I've been on the computer I can hear running water and the clink and clank of dishes being washed. I tell her that mommy has been washing dishes. She then asks, "are you sure?" and I say "Yes, why?". My daughter then says, "Then who was that lady standing behind you?"

She says as she was going in and out of her room, she saw a lady standing behind me while I was on the computer and she thought it was her mother. That freaked me out for a looooong time, and she was about 7 at the time this happened. She still tells the story to this day to her friends. Freaky stuff.

The person I saw walk across the hall looked like a man, and he was much taller. My wife is only 5' tall.

The only time she would ever come in with me when paying the bills was when I called her in the room to look at something. We also have a laptop, so there was never any reason for her to come stand over my shoulder while on the computer.

And I pay the bills anyway, and she has no idea what is due, how much is due and when its due. She'd be screwed if I died in a car accident on the way home from work one day. :lol

The person I saw walk across the hall looked like a man, and he was much taller. My wife is only 5' tall.

The only time she would ever come in with me when paying the bills was when I called her in the room to look at something. We also have a laptop, so there was never any reason for her to come stand over my shoulder while on the computer.

And I pay the bills anyway, and she has no idea what is due, how much is due and when its due. She'd be screwed if I died in a car accident on the way home from work one day. :lol

Strange. How tall was the man in your estimation?

That's still an interesting detail. A kid normally wouldn't mess something like that up.

I don't know. But he seemed close to 6'. I'm 6'1", so if it looked tall to me, it had to be close to 6'

[Manu-20]

Well seeing as how everyone here is telling their own ghosts tales i'll tell mine. Back in the day I lived with my great grandma in San Antonio and my mom and dad were having a long distance realtionship my mom in SA and my dad in LA. Me and my mom finally made the big move to CA when I was 9 after my grandma died not the one I was living with but my mom's mom. I still remeber to this day what I saw and who I saw the day were leaving my great grandmas house putting our luggage in my grandpas car who was going to take us to the airport. There was a window in a door right outside in the front were we were leaving, you could see the laundry room through the window and well after we had put up all our luggage in the trunk of my grandpas car I dont know excatley why but for some reason I looked at the window and saw my grandma in her red dress she would always wear waving bye to me I wasn't scared more confused than anything. Anway there you have it one of the few odd things that have occured in my life so far.

[TheSkeptic]

I don't know. But he seemed close to 6'. I'm 6'1", so if it looked tall to me, it had to be close to 6'

I see. Do you remember anything else about his appearance? Another more personal question as well, have these things ever reacted to you guys or anything?

Thanks for sharing Manu-20.

[SpurinDallas]

No and no. I've never really tried to provoke it or ask it questions. It also walked passed the doorway so fast that I couldn't make out any detail. But this was the only time I actually saw it live and in color.

About 2 months ago, I saw a light figure kinda shine across the wall, like it was walking really fast. When I turned to my wife to tell her what I saw, she pointed really quickly and saw the same thing. This was at night with all the lights off. We had the bedroom door open and it opens to the living room and we could see across the house into the kitchen, and that's where we saw the lighted figure. I saw it twice and she saw it once. Weird

[manufan10]

I've always wanted to stay at the Crockett Hotel in San Antonio in early March. People say there is a lot of ghostly activity around that time, and it's even better if you have a room facing the Alamo, because you can see activity taking place on the Alamo grounds.

:wow So why haven't you packed up exactly? That's just plain creepy. What does your priest have to say about this?

Then for the most part they act like they live there then. Right?

We never brought it up to him because it doesn't seem evil or even a problem tbh. He blessed the house the first weekend after we bought it so I have faith (GASP! Yes, I said FAITH) that anything that may be in the house is not evil natured. Don't get me wrong though, I have heard a man clear his throat in the middle of the night and we heard a kids voice one morning, all of us did, and that freaks me out to where I won't even get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. :lol

And I have concluded for years with your last statement. It seems as though whatever is in the house just acts like they live there.

Was the child in question a girl by any chance? Are they awake when you guys are? Do they seem aware of you or anything?

Sorry about all the questions but I'm trying to make some sense out of this...

[cantthinkofanything]

No problem. :toast

As for the camera...that's interesting. Very interesting. I only asked because I think the burning sounded malicious and I'd be very worried if you guys decided to try the board again. Though as I said it's ultimately your choice.


Yeah, it's pretty weird. The last thing the board said before we left was "burn". But we didn't think much about it at the time because it didn't make sense in the context of the conversation we were having.



Strange. Were the Native American tribes in that area nomadic or something? If you're seeing a cemetery that isn't there any more maybe there's something similar going on with the house? Did this ghost say or do anything that gave you a clue as to who/what it was?

I don't know about Nomadic. tbh, I've never heard of that tribe. For some reason, Cherokee sticks in my mind. And I think Cherokee makes sense given the region. Were the Nomadics know to be involved in the afterlife?
What's really weird is that my great grandpa used to talk to his son (my grandfather) about a TV show he used to watch about Native Americans and that halfway through the show, it would just stop and the TV would freeze. Here's the weird part...he died in 1938. BEFORE the U.S. even broadcast television!

Yup. My wife and I heard her voice while we were getting ready in the morning for work while my daughter was brushing her teeth. I called out to my daughter and asked what she said and she looked at me like I was crazy because she didn't say anything.

And they don't seem to be aware of us all the time. But the noises and footsteps aren't just heard in the middle of the night. We have had guests over during the day who have heard them too

I've seen quite a range in this aspect. Sometimes, they will ask to trade a soul for the service. More often, they will simply request an evening with a young boy from the family.

Hm... Well this is suggestive. And you're sure that these things have never engaged you or seemed aware of you (other than that lady standing behind you)?

Do you remember what happened when you told these things they could stay? What hauntings were you dealing with before moving to this current house?

As always, you don't have to answer...

We've never really asked for it to "give us a sign of their presence" or anything like that. I have felt that it has tried to get our attention by different things happening at once, but maybe my next step would be to try and "talk" to it and see if I can get it to respond to me somehow.

I've had experiences my whole life, since I was a kid. The house I grew up in San Antonio was nuts. I gotta some stories from there as well.

There was one day the light fixture in the laundry room fell down from the ceiling. It has 2 clips that you have to push up against to secure it. This was just last year. I would have written it off as to me not securing it, but at this point, we had been in the house 5 years and I never ever once changed that bulb, so it couldn't have been loose or anything like that. Immediately after that, we heard the footsteps walking across the living room, as if someone knocked down the light fixture and then walked away. That was weird.

Wow, too many to tell, but here's one:

We have a desk in the dining room where my mom would pay bills and kept all the important paperwork. The swivel chair we had in there was super old, and you couldn't breathe without that thing squeeking all the time. One night, I was going to crash out in the living room because I was up super late watching TV. I heard someone walk through the hall, heard someone sit on the desk chair because I heard the squeek and then heard the lamp click on. I thought it was weird for my mom or dad to be up at 3 in the morning doing something at the desk. I got up to see what was up, and no one was in the chair, but the lamp was on. The dining room is on the other side of the house, opposite from the bedrooms, so one of my parents couldn't have gone to the desk and then left really quick without me running into them in the hall. That was weird.

[TheSkeptic]

...Interesting. I'm not going to lie this is really fascinating. You articulate your memories fairly well.

Was your family's house in the same area? I guess that would be Dallas in this case- and were there any religious groups or sites based near there? Did your father ever use this desk and if he did do you know how often/what typically for?

Do you remember what type of desk this was and about how far the chair was from it when you went to check?...Can you remember the same for the pulled out formal dining room chairs in your current house as well?

And as an aside, what incidents made you think that these things were attempting to get your attention?

Also, did your daughter throw any tantrums when she was (more of) a child? About how high up would you say the kitchen table is?

I'll apologize again for grilling you like this. Don't answer (or if you don't want to here you can *pretty please* PM me) if you'd prefer not to. Thanks in advance though.

[SpurinDallas]

I guess I should have mentioned earlier that when things happened in our house, it usually served as a precursor to something bad happening. Activity started, a week later, wife miscarried. More activity, my grandfather passed away 4 days later. Something flew off our table, wife's grandfather diagnosed with brain cancer (1 month after my grandfather passed away). More activity, her grandfather passes away from brain cancer. For a while there, there was something bad happening after activity picked up in the house.

No, I don't claim to know anything about protocol. Really, it's just been movies and stuff. But movies also say "Ouija Bad". But I don't think the board itself is bad. But just like you said, users don't really know what they are doing. I mean, you can give anyone a scalpel but that doesn't mean you want them to operate on you.



The details might have varied some but I think most of the Native American tribes had a belief in the afterlife.


I'll probably spend some time researching it more. I'd really like to delve into what tribes thought about ghosts or if they ever encountered them at all. If someone had never heard of the concept of "ghost", I wonder if they would every experience them.



You know, that's really strange but I think there might be a reasonable explanation for that one. I'm a little sleep-deprived though so don't ask me to tell you what it is. :lol


Sleep = good. I'd like to hear your take on it though. Those "weird" things are always happening to me. When I was little, my mom gave me this book called, "A Wrinkle in Time". Great book for a kid. She gave it to me for my 10th birthday and said her mom had given it to her on her 10th birthday. Here's the weird part...my mom turned 10 in 1949. THIRTEEN YEARS BEFORE THE BOOK WAS FIRST PUBLISHED!!!

I can buy people leaving behind blind energy which maybe "rings your doorbell" type of thing. Very far fetched but at least half ass believable.

[angelbelow]

I don't really believe in ghosts but I did have an experience that was difficult to explain.

The time frame was about a year while I was a junior in college. Me and two of my fraternity bros rented out a house in a fairly remote place; relative to your average college city. For example, while the house we lived in was modern, there were a lot of really old style houses and trailers just a block away.

Normally, my health is pretty good. I exercise regularly, prepare all of my goal meals and live a pretty active social life. However, that year I was constantly sick. Myfriends from my high school took notice as well. Additionally, I felt lazy and sluggish the entire time I lived at that place. There was one particular evening that I'll never forget. The layout of my house was kind of unique, it was very horizontal. Walking from my room to the restroom, I could see the entire living room and because of the horizontal nature of the house. The end of the living room from the restroom door was probably 50 feet away. As I entered the restroom, I thought I caught a glimpse of a female figure. Because I was pretty high, I actually laughed it off and found it funny. The next morning I questioned whether I actually saw something or simply hallucinated.

My roommates would also report strange occurrences. For example, they would hear footsteps outside (one of my roommates had a window next to the front door) but would find no one outside. They also heard faint footsteps when home alone (but I never did.)

Finally, we had another fraternity bro live there before the 3 of us moved in. Supposedly he got freaked out by knocking and footsteps and refused to go back to that house. It took him a few months after he stopped living there to collect his furniture (which I thought was kind of strange but didn't care enough to ask him about it at the time). But he never told us this, rather I found out through another bro.

A few weeks before we moved out, we had a long conversation with our adjacent neighbor. He was an elderly person, probably 70+ years of age. He informed us that in 1996, our house was a city designated care house for the insane. He also told us that few have past away there, including one person in the backyard.

All in all, I can't say with absolute certainty that it was a paranormal experience, but it was definitely a giant change from my normal energy level. Beyond my possible hallucination and poor health, I don't really have much evidence beyond that. My roommates strongly believe it though.

[manufan10]

Interesting enough, a friend of mine posted this on Facebook a few minutes ago:


The neighbors tonight asked my mom how my uncle was doing. She told them he died in November and they freaked out b/c they saw him the backyard and they asked him how he was doing. They said he told them "I'm doing fine." A couple of nights ago I heard a tambourine from his room at 5 A.M. and assumed I was dreaming maybe not.

My friend's uncle loved playing the tambourine.

[jack sommerset]

I saw a ghost once. It was in new York near west mountain. The house was burnt down for sometime. There was just a stone chimney remaining. Me and some friends drove by there and our car stopped. We all got out of the car and that's when we met Abigail. She flew right up to us. My friends were freakin out but I calmed them down. I said "guys, she is gorgeous and looks scared. If she wants to hurt us she will, chill out" they did and she said " do you really think I am beautiful?" I said yes and she said " my name is Abigail" and then she flew off. We got back in the car and it started. Nobody ever believes that story but it's true. Ghost are real. God bless

Any new activity lately? I still don't really believe in ghosts.. at least not in the sense that they are capable of anything but I found the OP's stories interesting.

A few more from my friends:

-Had a friend claim that while he was growing up, he saw face imprints against his window at night.

-Another one claims that hes seen objects get tossed across the room where his grandmother passed way.

-One experienced a dream where there was a dead/ghostly looking female trying to suffocate him in his sleep. He woke up to scissor lock and hallucinated a female resembling his ex sitting on top of him.

Too many people who think they know all the answers in here. I'll keep these experiences to myself.

Like they said, ignore the nay-sayers. I think I've almost got a theory.

Almost got a theory?

Sorry. Would "I believe there might be a way to make sense of this" work better?

Go ahead and speak your mind.

Personally I dont buy the ghost existence bit but who am I to say your experience wasn't real?

Cant prove it one way or the other. So shoot.
