Better question is, who doesn't.
I do
I don't care what backlash I'm gonna receive. I believe in ghost. I saw two when I was a kid. The first sighting was in my room. It was a lady wearing a white dress standing next to my dresser. She didn't say anything. She just stood there staring at me. I couldn't see her face because it seemed to be distorted for some reason. I screamed and ran to my parents room. The second sighting was on a trip to Dallas. My family and I went to visit my grandparents in Oak Cliff. We had to spend the night in my great grandmothers house (who was alive at the time). I shared a room with my younger brother. That night I remember hearing strange noises. I don't know if the noises were relevant to the sighting or not, they were still eerie. That morning I arose from my bed to see my second sighting. It was a small apparition (at least it appeared to be one), like a child or something. Again, I didn't see the face because it appeared distorted. Scared the living out of me (literally). These were my only encounters with ghosts.
Does anyone else have some?

never seen an apparition directly, but my grandparents used to own a house built in 1913 and restored with all antique furniture inside becasue they collected them. some strange happened around there, the spirit world is very much real. once i saw what appeared to be a black mist floating out of one room which was especially haunted and going down the hallway. but it was mostly just the eerie "feeling" you would get at times. my cousin did once claim to see a man in the house which the neighbors supposedly saw in their house as well. also my grandparents each saw apparitions, and sometimes there would be a strange smell of perfume out of nowhere. I think it was something to do with the antique furniture or my grandparents themselves, because their old house they lived in when i was younger was haunted as well. when i was about 3 years old they had a preacher come out and bless the house, and when we walked back in i supposedly asked my dad what was "different" about the house. i wasn't old enough to know what was going on so there must have really been a different vibe.
My place of work was built on land where a young child drowned. Every once in a while you can see a black shadow figure lurking throughout the store. I wasn't much of a believer until I saw it with my own eyes.
That's racist to blame a black guy for drowning that kid.
I like reading ghost stories but where's the proof? I want to see a full body ghost
Although one time I was in my house alone and heard loud ass footsteps in my hallway and I looked and no one was there -- scared me pretty bad
People who aren't re ed?
Not much so read at your own boredom.
Once in highschool I was after some girl so I was playing the "I'll be there for you" card when her and her boyfriend broke up. She said she cared for the dude but just didn't want him as a bf. Plus he was always depressed and some time after the break up he ended his own life. No one knows if it was cause of her or other reasons or all of the above. She took it pretty hard and some weeks later she swore she kept seeing him around her house and hearing his voice ,noises and such. One night she freaked out and begged me to go over. I did and she said she was scared blah blah and was home alone. She was crying and I went to console her and after I calmed her down. We decided to mess around and I felt this feeling we were being watched....no no webcam
Anywho we decide to take off and she reaches for the door and it won't open she freaks out cause it had no lock. I give it a go and still won't open...it's closed shut. She begins to freak out cause of the previous things that happen. So I say let's try the window and it is locked shut as well(I think that was just old and stuck.) She is beyond scared again and tells me to break the window she don't care. So I break it and we begin to hop out. She goes first and I hear a whisper and something touch my back. I was like wtf...and scan the room and nada. As I scan the room a see a photo of him she had stuck on some type of bulletin board and it was him smiling and looking away. I scan the room once again and for some reason look at the photo again and this time he is not smiling and looking directly at the camera. I do a wtf double take and it's back to smiling and looking away. I got out of there fairly fast. I assume it was my mind playing tricks (sure its in some ghost movies I don't remember) but it seemed pretty real and didn't care to visit her house anymore![]()
jesus frenzy let me prepare my mind to read this
Read the first paragraph not sure what that has to do a ghost story but I will continue
I'm going to re-read it and see if I can understand it.
Oh ok that's pretty crazy. Good story frenzy not gonna lie scanned the first paragraph and missed that he killed himself. Scary
I saw a door open by itself and felt the temperature drop suddenly at the Menger Hotel once. I told someone there about it and he said the place is haunted. I don't know how much of Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, etc. is real or not, but there is something out there that we do not understand.
ok this is ed up: at the residential treatment center i worked at we cared for severely mentally and behaviorally diturbed kids. There were three pods, 8 kids a piece, usually 2 girls pods and 1 boys pod. There had to be one of us sitting in front of each pod so we could watch the kids all night long. There had always been ghost stories about this place because children have committed suicide here in the past so there were the stories of ghosts and crazy sounds and staring in the windows at night. And the kids would always tell us about creepy things or noises when they were alone showering or in their beds at night. This one night though when i was working the night shift, i was watching one of the girls pods, i was done with all my paperwork and reading a book and i look up into one of the girls rooms cause i hear a soft moaning sound, i look up and the rooms are all dark so it's kind of hard to adjust your eyes but i saw what looked almost like a dark misty shadow hovering above one of the girls lying in her bed (admittedly she was one of the cuter girls there, she was probably 14 or 15, more behaviorally disturbed than mentally, but she was definitely a little touched and had experienced molestation as a child). so im staring at this thing that i cant tell if i really see or not over this girl. im staring and staring and i definitely see what appears to be a black mist kind of rolling and hovering over this girl and she is making soft noises and and sort of writhing a little bit, so i finally get up and walk through the main area of the pod into her and her roommates room and turn on the light and its scares the out of me because the black mist dissipates a split second after i turn the light on, like immediately after i turn the light on, so it definitely wasnt the weird lighting or my eyes trying to adjust from focusing on a book to a dark room. I saw it dissapear. I didnt know what the to make of it, i check on the rest of the girls and go back to my seat outside of the pod and tell my coworkers what happened, they were like yeah in right, whatever.
when we woke the kids up the next morning the girl came up to me and and sat down next to me on the couch and i asked her how she slept and she rubbed her eyes, she looked like , all disheveled and holding her arms tight and squeezingher body and said "not good", "i dreamt i was having sex with the devil last night"
oh my god i near myself. creepiest most shiver inducing moment of my life. i think she saw in my reaction that i knew what she was talking about.
no you ain't never understanding it. you're a young sushibreath you've never witnessed anyone cutting his own stomach open and digging out his own organs
None of it is real.
What happened to that chick frenzy?
Soooo...you actually yourself?
And in Oak Cliff, be careful not to confuse a ghost w/ a spook.
I do not believe in ghosts.
I've seen and witnessed some eerie things, but there's no reason to assume any of them were ghosts. Ghosts have never been shown to exist. Ghost Hunters, the show, has never legitimately filmed a ghost.
It's interesting that people who've never heard of ghosts never see them, how Catholics see the Virgin Mary but Baptists do not, nor do Hindus or other religions, how people use confirmation bias so regularly without even considering it.
About 9 years ago I was in the backyard of a house I used to live in just feeding my dog when that awful feeling of being watched started to envelope me - I turn around - and I see the silhouette of a man against my neighbors privacy fence projected by a flood light on the side of my house. Well, I just about myself, but I had to see what this person was doing in my back yard so I -apprehensively - started to walk toward the side of my house (note I could only see the shadow just past the corner of the house as I wasn't out far enough to simply see around it), and as I'm walking a long the back of the house towards it, whatever it was simply turned, and casually started to walk away to the front.
Once it did that I hurried after it, and looked around the corner ( seconds after it had turned away), and guess what I saw? Nothing. There was nothing there. The gate was locked, and the brush along the walkway was untouched...We never really did a good job of maintaining the back yard so there were plenty of sticks, stones, and leaves scattered about so I was surprised when I saw that nothing was broken - in fact - I didn't even hear a sound when whatever made that shadow walked away.
Honestly, I was pretty scared. So I turned and walked back to my house as fast as I could, but before I did I looked back at my dog (who surprisingly never made a sound through this encounter), and noticed he was hiding behind the tree he was chained to - clearly distraught over something.
And that was only the first of a couple of different strange incidences...About a week later my mom said she had almost exactly the same type of encounter the only difference being that she didn't go chasing after it.Then, it was a few days after that when my family was sitting in the living room when there were three knocks with a short delay before the third - at the back door! We all got up quickly to look outside, and never found, or saw anything su ious. Again, all gates were locked so it would have to have been extremely difficult for anyone trying to scare us to get in and out of that back yard faster than we could notice.
A few months later, my mom had to go out for a family emergency in the middle of the night. I decided to go with her and so did my brother - leaving my sister as the only one who was home. When we came back in the morning my sister said she didn't even know we were gone, and assumed we were there because she had heard my door close twice in the night (the first time had to have been me which makes this story even eerier because I was in that room...). After the second time my sister said she looked out her door into the living room and saw a child from behind - which she assumed was my brother - walk into my mom's room, and close the door. I asked her what time it was when that happened. She said it was around 3 in the morning. About an hour after we had left.
I had a weird ass encounter when i was living in Mexico. I must have been three or four years old at the time. Me, my mom, and older brother were living in my great grandparents house. An old house. No plumbing, no gas stove, and made out of adobe and some other . Well, since there was no plumbing, the only place to and pee was in the outhouse that was behind the house.
One night my mom needed to take a dump or pee or both, idk. I chased my mom down as she was walking out of the house and she said to wait for her. She walked into the night as I stood at the door crying like a little .
As I stood at the door crying, to the left of me, i hear an old mans voice say in my ear, like if the man was leaning down, say " don't worry, she'll be back". I was like Wtf. I've never heard the voice before. I instantly stop crying, I turn to the left, look down and then up to see the man. Whoever that man was, he was gone. It was dark, but I could see around me because of the light from the house. I believe that must have been my great grandpa watching over us. I never met him so my guess is that was him. I didn't feel threatened at all just surprised. true story![]()
Don't you have to believe 100% in ghosts if you're a Christian?
Seriously though, people see ghosts for the same reason they see the man in the moon: our brains are conditioned to pick up human features whether or not they're from humans.
I don't like saying whether something exists or not, so I will say the possibility is there.
