Oh yeah. I grew up in a haunted house. It was over 100 years old, family built and family owned until a few years ago. You would hear scratching on the doors, things would be moved, doors would suddenly slam, at night sometimes the foot of my bed would sink like somebody was sitting on it, etc. We even saw them a few times. A woman, a pair of girls, and if you saw the old man you knew he was pissed. He was a cranky one! And if we left for any length of time we would have horrendous nightmares which was just so strange.

I have one !!

When I was 13 I went to bed only to find myself awaken by a very bright light like nothing I have ever seen before. Instead of fear I felt this sense of comfort and I saw a woman but I could not make out her face because the light was so intense. I wanted to say something or move but I was paralyzed. I then felt myself drifting back asleep. Still to this day I wonder If It was all a dream or something else.....Well In my dream I saw my little girl cousin crying on the floor.

I was so scared I refused to go to school! I told her I had a bad dream and barely slept.

my mom forced me to go and I will never forgot what I told her...

"if something bad happens It will be your fault."

I got home early....and I found out my grandma had passed away in the middle of the night. Out of nowhere she woke up with a headache drank coffee and her blood pressure rose to above 300. A woman in her early 50's healthy and with the dream of coming to stay with us for the first time in 7 years.

another weird thing
She held custody to my cousin the one crying on the floor in my dream...

I am sitting here watching celebrity ghost stories ... anyone have an "unexplaned" experience?

I havent "seen" anything or heard anything but i was in a western store with my husband and he was looking at shirts and boots ... i was towards the front side of the store and felt a pinch on my butt ... i let out a yelp/squeal and turned with an open hand to slap my husbands hand and i did a complete circle and there was no one around me and i was in an open area near the registers .... my DH heard me squeal and came towards me from the back of the store .... we left within about 2 minutes ... i have never been back !!!!

My house is haunted - not by someone who lived here, and not by someone I know, but I know who my ghost is b/c I'm a geek and I did a lot of research last spring through town archives & asking the old folks in town about my neighborhood back in the day.

The house next door was a hospital during the first part of the 20th Century, and the doctor lived a few houses down. It was basically just a general practice, but he also delivered most of the babies born at that time - including my grandfather. The doctor's name was Frank Ellis, and even though he died in 1950 I'm 100% certain that his spirit visits my house.

Anyway, things have happened since I bought the place in 2004 when I was pregnant with my oldest child. Knocking, the smell of cigar smoke at random times, the sound of a man whistling when I was home alone. Dr. Ellis comes and goes as he pleases, but he always comes back around during a pregnancy & acts up a lot throughout the first year of each baby's life. The most eventful year was this last year with Miles. Our ghost would turn things off and on, knock things over, touch your back/arm, sit down on the edge of the bed, etc. I'm not crazy and it wasn't a coincidence.

I honestly believe we had more than one spirit in the house at one time b/c Frank is not mean even though he scares the crap out of me, I feel like he's just here to look over us. The other ghost was mean though - and I think it purposely targeted the kids. They'd wake up at night screaming like they'd been attacked and saying they saw things in their room. At one point I was making them all sleep with Chris & I, like we could protect them from some unknown monster. The final straw was when I started seeing this small dark shadow (not really a shadow, because you couldn't see through it and could see it like a form right in front of you but couldn't make out the features) move between the bedrooms and dart right across the living room. I started saying every prayer you could think of and the bad things stopped happening.

Anyway, our doctor ghost still comes around occasionally and it still scares me, but to be honest, I kind of feel safer when I know he's watching over us! His little sign that he's here is that he knocks the sugar shaker over when nobody's in the kitchen!

Um... creepy!!?!? All of your stories are.

I personally don't have any experience with anything like that, but I have heard too many stories like yours from people I trust that I totally believe it is possible. My best friend had a ghost in her old apartment and had to exorcise it out pretty much, and my co worker's apartment is haunted, she has told me all the details.
