Anyone had any experience with ghosts of any kind?

When I was young, we lived in a house where there are some manifestations of ghosts. We never see their figures but they move objects and there are some rooms that gives you some eerie feeling, as if someone is looking at you whenever you pass that room. I grew up in this house for several years and we got used to this experience. We have workers in our house who makes t-shirts and printings. Some of these workers have actually seen the ghost and even one of our workers was in a coma after encountering the ghost, and needed to stay in the hospital for a few days until he recovered. He says he saw a headless man in the bathroom when he went upstairs and suddenly blacked out and can't remember anymore. How about you, do you have real ghost stories to share?

this amazing thing happened in my previous job. it was lunch time, i was left alone cause i have to finish the labels for the items to be shipped at 2pm. Someone called my attention. s/he said "psst". the door is slightly opened, and the voice was behind the door. my working area is just beside the door and when i take a glimpse no one is there. and i'm just glad that i'm almost done with my work at that time. and one of my office-mate saw tiny footprints in the working area of my other office-mate. isn't it scary???

That's intriguing! Did anyone in your work ever experienced similar situations in that area? Anyway, how does the tiny footprints look like? Well, I hope for you that you won't be given that task again in that same area...

that was way back then.i don't work there anymore. some of my office-mates experienced that someone touches his back and he said it was cold. and my other colleague saw a "floating lady" passed by in my table and he also saw a boy peeing in the comfort room. This situation happened in the other department where i was also assigned before i was transferred (LOL). just a tiny footprints. when my other colleague saw that she took a picture of it in her mobile phone. and what makes some of us scary, is that when we saw the picture there was an image. a face of a cute child. a very cute little one.

When I was about 10 years old I woke up in the wee hours of the morning. Don't know why. Soon after, I heard loud echoing footsteps then saw a tall, muscular, white ghost figure of a man with a bald head. He was coming from the bathroom and entered the kitchen, passing the tiny room me and my older brother shared. It was sooo scary. The whole thing felt surreal, but I was definitely awake. The ghost walked the length of the kitchen and turned back and walked back into the bathroom. Next thing, my grandmother called out to me and told ME to go back to bed! Never, ever liked having to get up in the middle of the night to pee. I blocked the event out--well, tried to--but funny thing is that everytime someone asked me if I'd ever seen a ghost, my lips would say no, but a memory of that event would mysteriously flash in my head. I didn't comprehend that my psyche was showing me a forgotten event until I was 18 and had fully remembered on my own. Years later, my brother said that the description of the ghost matched that of the apartment's long time caretaker. Yeah, but what the heck was he doing on the third floor in our apt.--I don't remember him ever being a visitor when he was alive. Hmmm....maybe it was revenge for all the times I used to tease him. :0

I don't understand, you said you never saw him and then you said you often teased him before...anyway, that surely is scary. Anyway maybe he manifests himself to you because he missed your teasing...that's possible I guess. Joking aside, I hope he doesn't show himself to you...ever! I can imagine him in a popular tv commericial in our country we call MR Clean who is a big muscular man with no hair. He is called Mr Clean because the tv commerical is about a soap for washing clothes.

Take it as my not being a native English speaker, so I didn't understand your sentences easily. Anyway, thanks for clearing that out! You know Mr. Clean as well? I don't know if this commercial is international, or I guess we are probably living in the same country :D

I said I never saw him in the apartment "as a visitor". But when my brother said the description of the ghost sounded like that of the caretaker, I remembered the tall bald guy I used to see every once and a while outside the building. I used to teasingly call him "bald-headed Bob". And, for real, he really did look like the Mr. Clean dude on the commercials.

That's just too creepy. I don't know what I will do if ever I encounter a headless ghost. Aghhhh. If I was the one living in that house, I wouldn't be able to last a day there. And if I were one of you workers and I hear stories like these, I will just quit. I'm too scared. LOL.

Ohh, at least they don't show themselves to you or maybe you just don't have the ability to see them, just feel them. I too don't have the ability to see them but I feel them too sometimes.

Actually only a few of them are stay-ins. Most of them goes home after their work is finished. Usually the ghosts appear or make their presence felt usually at night. The funny part is that our family lived in the 3rd floor. I think the ghosts didn't show themselves to us because we always pray together at night so they stay away from us, although there are some moments when they make us feel their presence...well for me, as long as they don't let themselves manifest to me in their actual forms I guess I can be fine.

OMG, that gives me the creeps. I have not encountered a spirit or ghost but i have definitely felt their presence at times. You just know that there is somebody watching you. once when i was out of town, i spent the night at my friend place with her family. At night i just got up as i felt someone staring at me right on my face. Since i was sleeping the she (spirit)climed the wall and up the ceiling to have a better look at me. It spooked me out....but then i thought it might just be a dream. The spirit was not scary....it was just inquisitive , none the less i was scared. I did not mention anything to my friend....but later that day she mentiond that she always felt that there was somebody in the house watching her every move!

I think prayers are one of the universal ways of protecting yourself from ghosts. It can even be the means to release them from their imprisonment when their souls cannot leave the earth for one reason or the other. This has been my theory and I felt other people will have the same theory as mine. Anyway, I generally feel these ghosts are lost spirits and their spirits stays on earth until enough people pray for their souls and finally lead them to a better place. For all those who believe this, let's all pray for lost souls.

I always feel someone is watching over me, so when I see a medium last year, she said 20 ghosts were following me over 20 years ago for a debt, so I have to pray to them every month. Those movements of objects and shadows have been a routine for me till now.

Actually I have no faith on ghost. It's a doubt of your mind. But in my boyhood when my mom took me out for going to toilet then she saw a old woman was standing with wearing a white sari(a piece of long cloth). My mother asked her why she was standing there. The woman did not reply anything but suddenly she disappeared from us. This incident proves the appearance of Woman Jin in the earth. About Jin it is also written in Quran. So, as a Muslim everybody should trust on Jin.

How did you feel at that moment, were you snd your mother scared? I think all ghosts don't speak. I never heard anyone say that they saw a ghost and they spoke to them, but maybe some ghost emits some sound. I don't know for sure. Anyway,that's a pretty interesting experience.

Hello friend, I don't believe in ghost. Everyday I try to find the ghosts. But I don't find it anytime. So I don't believe it. Have a nice day.

Hi friend, that's understandable. There are people that ghost chooses to manifest themselves, and there are people they choose to hide from...for some mysterious reasons I don't know exactly what. I guess one good reason is that ghosts usually don't show themselves to people who are prayerful and have deep spirituality, but only to those who is spiritually low or don't pray often. That is only my theory. Anyone agrees or disagrees?

Hello friend, Yes I agree with you about the matter my friend. Have a nice day.

I saw a cat ghost. I even sent her on.

A cat ghost...that's interesting! How does it look like? Does it look different from any cat or was it glowing or something? Anyway, what do you mean by "I even sent her on"? Do you mean you shoo her away or just let her stay? Were you scared?

That's interesting. I think it's sad when our pets die when we had developed closeness with them. We had pet cats and dogs when we were young, and it's always a sad experience when they pass away. I'm sure you cat is in heaven because as they say "all dogs go to heaven" so I assume it's the same with cats. I just hope in heaven, their friends and don't fight anymore :D Anyway these kinds of events gives you some mysterious feelings...thanks for sharing.

I was 9 years old when I experienced my first ghost(s). Objects in rooms would move about, the waterbed would move, my pets would freak out, the toilet flushed, and the tv turned on and off. I also would get sick on a daily basis. I never experienced any more ghosts until I was 26 (3 yrs ago) I seen dark entities at the side of my bed at night, or seen spirits of my ex lovers who passed away suddenly. I also at times hear footsteps in my bedroom at night.

I absolutely believe in ghosts and/or spirits! I have seen, and heard them for about 5 years now. I don't hear and see them everywhere or all the time but I do have encounters occationally. The first time I really experienced it scared me really bad though haha, I don't really want to give details but there were numerous voices, pounding of drums, and I even strongly believe my great grandmother who passed nearly ten years ago was there in spirit. In response to the headless man in the bathroom, I can see why that poor man blacked out! I'm not sure I would of even been able to handle seeing that! Hope he is ok.

It's good you got over those experience scratch free and not traumatized. Some people who experience very scary moments like yours didn't seem to recover from that trauma and lived lives in constant fear. Lucky for you! About the headless man event, that happened so very long time ago, maybe about 30 years has passed. But I remember he recovered after that and stayed in our company for a few more years. But I think he never went upstairs again to go to the bathroom or probably didn't sleep anymore in our building as stay-in ( I can't remember clearly because it was way too long ago ).

That is really scary too! Experiences with ghosts are real scary but I find most scary are manifestations of evil spirits. That may be one instances, but hopefully those were only sounds of cats that live in ceilings and are fighting with rats. Anyway, if those sounds persist I won't stay long in that place or probably I would have the place blessed and wait and see if the sound don't appear anymore.

Ghosts aren't real. If you saw an object move it could of been the breeze that moved it. The guy that saw a headless man could of been hallucinating on some shrooms and stuff.

Well,we can never know for sure. You could also actually be right...who knows? But in my experience, it is more likely that there really are ghosts when I assess how those experiences happened, and especially the strong presence of something scary in a particular room that I often felt whenever I pass that room. Anything can be possible and we may never know the truth...well, it's truth won't matter much anyway in the real world.

I believe in ghosts and they are everywhere. They say that in every infrastructure or building or a house there is or are ghosts in it. My mom and dad told me that when I was still a toddler "someone" carried me downstairs. They were shocked when they heard me crying downstairs when there was nobody aside them were home.

I can imagine how shocking that was to them! I believe Poltergeist exists because I had experiences with them as well. Poltergeist has the ability to move objects and things...and in your case, people and young children too. Anyway, that was the first time I heard of poltergeist carrying a baby, though. I would want to believe it's an angel who carried you :D
