Do You Believe In Ghosts?

<< < (20/22) > >>

LauraGigs:
I was the youngest kid in my family and was alone in the house a lot. My oldest sis had died when I was 5 and she was 19. During the day I would wander into the back yard a lot; it seemed like there was a quiet presence there, and if I were to 'find' her, it would be there. I don't know if I really felt her, though. Just a presense.

When I was alone in the house at night, I'd get spooked out easily. What didn't help was the fact that my room was at the very end of this long hallway. As you walked down this hallway, there was this large portrait facing you of my long-dead grandpa and his twin brother when they were boys. This being an old, large photo, they were staring straight at the camera with these wide-eyed, unsmiling expressions. (Spooky as f^ck.)

Anyway, back to the yard: mom told me pretty recently that before we moved in, a man had died in the backyard — either a suicide or was struck by lightning (the latter seeming unlikely since the yard was full of very tall trees). I was like, "thanks for freakin' telling me!"

My mom was a realtor and sometimes would drag me along to empty homes she was showing. On a couple of occasions I would sense bad 'vibes' in the house — just a sad, bad feeling. No orbs or other visible/audible signs though. I was definitely more attuned to those feelings of awareness as a child than later.  (It was kind of a relief to stop having them.)

I'm reviving this really old topic because I feel the need to report some spooky things that have happened in my apartment in the past several months.  My toilet has flushed itself and/or gurgled dramatically when no one was in the bathroom (or had used it recently).  The faucets in the bathroom turned on once.  And, my DVD player has turned itself on once and opened the little drawer where you insert the discs.  Actually, when the DVD player opened itself, it pushed a DVD case that was in front of it, off the TV stand.
 :o

I feel that I can explain the toilet and even maybe the faucet issue as a water-pressure thing.  I live in a very old building (built in the 1920s) and I live on the 2nd floor of 9.  So, maybe the water pressure in the old pipes at the bottom of such a tall building could get a little kooky.  I do have really strong water pressure in the shower. 

But, all of that combined with the bizarre behavior of my DVD player really is a little spooky.

ok I am glad you DID revive it....cause I want to ask a question.

WHY do ghosts have clothes on??

I mean if they are just the soul of the people then why does the clothes get turned into spirit form??

does anyone know?

Has anyone seen a nekkid ghost?

LOL  :laugh:  That's a great question Jess.  Since I've never actually seen a ghost, I guess I can't really answer that.  As far as movies, etc. go, the clothing on ghosts is probably just the product of the over-active imaginations of artistic directors on set.

The most I've ever experienced have been things like bumps in the night and now the faucet/toilet/DVD-player situation that I just described.  I've also heard some quite convincing stories by people I trust.  So, I voted that, "yes, I do believe in ghosts, but have never seen one" (I voted that long ago) and I'm sticking to it. 

LOL, in this situation with the faucet that turns itself on, I'm hoping that now that I'm the pet-parent to a black cat that she can somehow protect me.

I blame ALL spooky noises on my cats....

the lady I work with said she was in bed with her husband and the TV turned itself on...nothing but snow...they tried the remote and that didnt' turn it off...so he got up and hit the button...it STILL didn't go off..

then they unplugged it...









and it STILL STAYED ON!!!

said it ran for about five minutes and then quit.





and they STAYED there!




I myself would have insisted we move that night.....wouldn't even get dressed...
