Okay, last night I was with some friends and we sat and talked about ghosts and things that have happened to us that were super natural... What's your story??
I have seen both my grandmother and grandfather I know my grandmother came and visited me after my oldest was born. I was in the kitchen washing dishes and heard the baby on the monitor start fussing, stuck my head in the room, determined there was nothing wrong and was just going to let her fuss a little while. Well - all of a sudden - no more fussing - I went to check - she was asleep - on her tummy (she could not roll over yet) covered with her blanket and the rocking chair was rocking.
Also - I am certain that the lady who owned our house before us has been in and out. We bought the house from her daughters. You could tell how much she loved her house by how well taken care of it was.
AND - in the house we lived before - there was a little girl that we could catch a glimpse of running up and down the hallway occasionally. We think she moved with us and has adopted us as her family - because we have seen her in this house also.

Whoo boy.
When I was at Pennhurst, we were just about to leave, when in the room next to us, something comes crashing down. It sounded like a brick was thrown across the room and hit the wall. We got out of there so freaking fast.
When we were at Fricks Locks, we kept hearing all these weird sounds. We kept seeing a light coming out of one of the houses, but of course no one was going in the house.

Talkin about stuff moving with you. I had a male ghost move with a gun cabinet we had, and an old lady that moved with a rocking chair we had.
The man in the gun cabinet we would just see out of the corner of our eye, and we thought we were just seeing things, but then one of my room mate's buddies came over, and he hadn't heard anything about the ghost we were seeing and one day in mid conversation he just stopped and said he just saw a man standing in front of it. We knew we weren't seeing things then.
The lady in the rocking chair was real creepy. We kept the chair in the living room at first and it wasn't so bad... I'd feel like someone was sitting next to me, and stuff like that, but then my mom moved the chair to my bedroom. Let's just say I slept in my mom's room quite a bit, but even then I would hear the back of the chair hitting the wall... and it was near impossible to sleep.

How do you find such creepy places?? The hospital looks like the school from Silent Hill.
There's this series of books, like Creepy Places in the US, or something but they made one for PA. My old friends used to read it religiously. I can't believe i don't remember that title.
I've got one, though it didn't involve me directly.
My old judo instructor used to man the office occasionally at Singleton Community Center in Bartlett, TN. She was working late one night when he saw a little girl in a pale red dress standing in the office (it was past 11:00 and the center was closed). She asked her if he could help her, and she replied that she was looking for her parents. He told her to sit tight while he phoned the gym office to see if they were over there. She turned around to ask her name and she was gone. This was an old building without conventional locks, so the doors were chained shut at the end of the night, and there was no way she could have left the building. She later learned that a girl matching that description who had attended the school there had passed away while on vacation. Creepy.
I personally have never had a paranormal expereince and am not entirely convinced that ghosts are real. The human mind is capable of crazy things (see corn) and I think ghosts are a bit like Hogwart's; you only see them if you believe they are there.

I believe the same thing, because I think that the faith that they are real powers them, plus, if you believe in them, they know that and try to play off of your fears... They just like to play games.
I've seen ghosts several times, and I've had physical things happen because of them. Things being thrown around, things being thrown at me, lights being turned off... etc.
I think some people just pick up the vibes more...their senses are more calibrated to pick that sort of thing up if you will....not necessarily whether you BELIEVE it or not...I would really like to NOT believe in it....but sometimes things just happen that you can't explain away....I've had things happen...seen things, felt things...SMELLED things...it's a total sensory thing and it's really creepy when it happens....esp for me the smells and the cold/warm temperature changing things...I can tell myself that I'm just imagining seeing things or hearing noises and there are other explanations for it...but it's awfully hard to explain strange smells and temperature changes in ONE specific spot in a room when the other parts are totally different...

I actually am a medium, so everything that happens to me is without a doubt real cause I sense it so strongly. I mostly see stuff, but like I said I've had things thrown at me and that's not a pleasant experience, but I've also been able to pick up on who the person is (age, sex, etc.) and I end up being right.
Other freaky things is beng touched and hearing them. I was woken up by a voice in my ear. I got out of bed and discovered no one was home. I've seen a shadow in the corner of my room, closed my eyes, opened them again, and had a face staring right back at me. I've had things sit on my legs on the bed, and when the weight left, it lifted one leg at a time, as if someone was getting up.
As for things getting thrown at me, when I was a little girl my grandmother told me to clean my room, and I did all except for one pair of underwear. I threw them behind a bookshelf and proceeded to leave the room, and felt something smack me in the back. Turned around, looked, and there was the same pair of underwear and this bookshelf was right up against a fridge and a wall so no one could have been back there. I'll never forget it.
When I was growing up, our family lived in a really creepy house. It was about 150 years old and one of the oldest ones in our neighborhood. We had an unfinished part of the basement that we used for storage. Once when I went down there, I got the eeriest sensation, like I was being watched. I turned around and I saw a bluish apparition in one of the little side rooms that had dirt floors. This was just for a moment, then she disappeared. That really freaked me the quack out.
Okay, here's another. My high school was a boarding school up in the mountains of New Hampshire, a small school (~125 students) in a small town (~1500 residents). Well, anyway, if you went down the gravel road behind the school for about a mile, then up a hill and down a dirt path, you'd arrive at an old mental institution that was abandoned during the 60's or 70's. Kids would sometimes sneak off there and mess around with the old equipment just for s**ts and giggles. One Saturday night in late spring 2004, right at the end of my junior year, there were about six or seven of us and we decided to break in just to mess around, like we always did. Well, being a dark, abandoned mental hospital in the middle of nowhere, there was certainly a pretty decent creepiness factor. Anyway, we're just playing around with the old strait jackets and having broomstick battles and what not, when I look through the doorway and see a guy who wasn't part of our group. He stopped, looked at me, waved, and kept walking by. So I went out into the hallway and I saw him go into one of the rooms at the end of the hall. I followed him down and went into the room he went into, but there was no one there - and keep in mind, there was only one door to the room and being a mental institution, all the windows had bars over them, so there's nowhere he could have gone. So creepy.

My friends and I decided to go to this one bridge about 20 minutes away from us that there are alot of strange stories about. Well this bridge also happens to be where my grandma's ashes were spread. We get there and turn all our lights off, like we're supposed to. About 2 minutes after we're there I start feeling like I'm being choked and can no long breathe. The person driving tried to turn the car on but it wouldn't start. Then we all hear the same whistling and everything is fine. The car started and we left. Everyone asked me why I was crying, well the whistling was the same tune my grandma used to whistle when she was cleaning her house.
One time when I was like 16 me and my 2 friends were playing my Ouija Board and we had to candles lit and we were "talking" to "Richie" and all of a sudden one of the candles blew out and the other one tipped over. Creeped all 3 of us out.

My ex room mate and I had a wierd thing happen.
The old house we lived in was really really haunted. One night she and I were sitting downstairs in the living room when we heard what sounded like footsteps. It was probably about 3 in the morning, so we knew no one was awake besides us, plus we would have seen someone come downstairs. We got creeped out, so we decided to pack it up, and head upstairs to my bedroom.
As we walked up the stairs, about half way up, we suddenly heard footsteps running behind us, chasing us. We screamed and ran all the rest of the way up, ran in my room, and slammed the door.
She slept on the floor next to my bed, and I slept in the bed. She was on the floor with the laptop open and she was working on something, and I decided to put a movie on. She tells me about 10 minutes later that the laptop is being screwy, since it was mine, she thought I ought to know. As she said this, I looked up, and I realized that the audio portion of the movie was not sinking up with the scenes. I suggested that we turn everything off and try to sleep.
About 10 minutes later we start to hear little noises. Creaking in the hallway outside the door, and such things. Then we heard footsteps. She got creeped out and I told her she could get in bed with me, and so she did. It became quiet for a while, until it happened. Something that had been sitting on the tv stand fell right off, and other things were making noises. We instinctively pull the blanket over our heads, and hold our breathe, waiting for more noise, but there was none.
As we lie there, I noticed that the blanket at the end of the bed felt like it was moving. I brushed it off, cause I figured it was just her moving her foot. The sensation went away after a while, and we eventually came back out of the covers, because it became very hot. We sat there for a minute freaked out, and shaken. I finally turned to the subject of the blanket. I told her to never do that again cause it freaked me out. She looked at me funny, and I'll never forget what she said...
"That wasn't me, I thought it was you.." Then her face went blank and she croaked out, "something was pulling the blanket down at the bottom." I will never forget that night. It was so creepy.
I lived alone in an apartment for awhile and I think I had the ghost of a former pet that lived there, if that's possible. I'd be sitting there, by myself, and a couple times the garbage can would rock and tip over, like something was trying to get into it. And often, when I was laying in bed, I would feel the bed move slightly, just like when a cat or small dog jumps into bed with you.
I was going to grad-school and woke up one morning with the distinct impression that my favorite aunt had been present, talking to me. It was a warm, loving feeling--nothing creepy about it. A couple hours later my mom called to tell me my aunt had passed away.

4 people saw 5-6 hanging skin heads outside of what was said to be a devil worshiping church. we all saw at the same time, then there was nothing there.

Last year, I was woken up in the middle of the night by someone whispering in my ear and as I was waking up, I felt like someone got up off the bed. I was in the house alone with my dogs - none of them can get up on the bed. Totally freaked me out and it may have been a dream but it didn't feel like it. My heart was pounding and I was terrified. I kept the lights on the rest of the night and didn't sleep well for weeks after.
Another thing that happened to my sister - she could hear her son, who was around 2 or 3 at the time laughing in his room. She went in to see what he was doing, and he told her the fat man with a big smile was making him laugh. Our dad was 400lb and always had a huge smile on his face....... She had said before that, that she feels he is there sometimes, watching over the kids.

That's really cool. Sometimes when I get really stressed out and sitting there saying "why me", I feel a presence at my side, and it feels like my great grandfather sitting with me. Sometimes I'll feel a hand on my shoulder, and then the room goes to a haven of peace. I get so relaxed and my problems don't seem to be there.
I have my own story though. When I was in 1st grade I had this horrible dream one night. In the dream I was in my Great Grandma's house. I was in the kitchen and was scared to go outside with everyone else. I looked out the kitchen window and what looked like a fairy turned all black and let loose the most creepy squeal that I've ever heard (I still can hear the sound). Then it flew away. At that point I woke up scared to death. The next day after school my mom told me that my great grandma had died early in the morning.
I've had a similar dream about my pet bird flying away and I kept trying but couldn't catch it...I woke up jumping on my bed trying to catch the bird. The next morning my mom found him dead in the bottom of his cage.

You might have a medium trait. You ever study wiccan or anything?

No, I haven't explored any other religions.
Also, when people close to me are extremely ill, I get unexplained stomach pains before I even know about the illness. It kinda creeps me out a bit.
Have you ever had a near death experience or witnessed a death. Even in a hospital bed, it still counts
Yes, I did a clinical rotation thru a Healthsouth Rehab Center in college and did therapy across from a lady that coded and ended up passing in her room. I also saw a body being zipped up and carried out of a hospital room while doing clinic at a hospital in town. All of this was after I had the dreams though. Still related?
