I have several ghosts living in my house. I live with three other people two guys one girl. The house was built in 1901 and it has several strange quirks. For one the pantry door will not stay closed. I'll close it and make sure it's latched. To the point where I pull with all my weight on the handle and it will not open. I'll go into the game room to watch TV. Get up to get a drink not 20 minutes later and the door will be wide open, with no one else in the house. I moved in first, and I was the only one sleeping there when I heard someone unlocking my bedroom door. I sit striaght up in bed and listen, their unlocking and locking my door. I told them to knock it off thinking it was my roomates stopping over to fuck with me. It stops and I go back to sleep. The next day my door is unlocked and I realize that my door cannot be unlocked from the outside. The lock is on the inside only. I have shelves that have some toys on them, legos, hot wheels, models and my RC car. I come down stairs to go to work and realize my legos are re-arranged and one is on the floor. I tried to get it to fall and land like that for about an hour. It was laid down and the others were turned. TV's turn off, lights go off, stomping on the stairs. You name it.
Two of my roomates are in the room next to mine. There is a door connecting the two rooms. It's locked and has book shelves on their side and a truck on mine. One night she saw a little boy walk out of the door and stop to look at her and her boyfriend then walk right past the bed through the locked door leading to the hallway. My ex came running downstairs one night and outside where I was smoking, and freaking out told me something is in my room. I go up and look and open the door. Fog had filled the room and it was cold. See your breath cold then somthing brushed past me, the fog was gone and so was the cold. The basment has a door that inorder to open it you have to move a vent. You have to shove it up into the ceiling, it's never closed, when you do it will be open the next time you go down for laundry. Before we moved in there was a dead cat at the foot of the stairs.
I could go on all day about the house. So that our bedrooms don't get messed with I smudge the rooms once a month and have grounding stones over all the doorways. I've put salt around every base board as well. Since I started to do that only the common rooms have problems. My house creeps a lot of people out, I have friends that won't come inside. They don't bother us too much anymore. Although they bother the cat a lot.

That's really creepy! You should leave a tape recording in one of the rooms for a few hours and then check it to see if you can hear anything. I was just watching Sylvia Brown(the psychic) on Montel and she was saying that that works sometimes and some lady brought a recording she had. A broken toy phone that she bought for her kids at a garage sale kept ringing all the time. Her father had recently passed away and she left a recorder out and it picked up her father's voice saying "A short phone call means I love you" Weird, huh? If you try it, let me know what happens! Have you ever tried a Ouija board? I'm originally from Natchez, MS. It's an old antebellum town. I've been around ghost stories and haunted places my entire life. That stuff really interests me. If you ever read any books on haunted places a lot of them have pictures and stories about places in Natchez...especially a place called Kings Tavern. Cool story, you should look it up and read about it! I have a picture of some friends inside the city auditorium and there is a big white orb thing in front of there faces...creepy! Sorry, I'm rambling but I love this stuff! I have a lot more stories but I'm going to stop here!
I work in a psych ward that has been open since the mid 1800's. In 1915 they had a fire and 24 people died. They rebuilt the building after the fire and housed patients in it again. In 1927 there was a Tuberculosis outbreak in which 37 people died. The building was closed down soon after that and had not been used again until it opened up in early Feburary of this year.The first night in the new/old building I was sitting in the nurses station reading a book and all of the sudden I hear this pounding on the ceiling like someone is jumping up and down on the second floor. Problem is, the second floor was never opened, and even most of the staff do not have access to it. We eventually got a key and went up to check it out. When we got onto the unit we could here all kinds of running around, it sounded like maybe 20 people all running through the hallways but there was no one there. Plus it was absolutely freezing up there. To this day, almost every night we hear people running around on the second floor, and everytime we go up no one is there... kinda creepy.................
We have a little ghost out here in Arkansas, out in a place called Gurdon, hence it's called The Gurdon Light. It's been featured on Unsolved Mysteries, and teams of investigators have come out to check for swamp gas, but to no avail...
Anyway, the story goes that there was an old man that walked the train tracks that led between Gurdon and other parts of Arkansas. This guy would get hammered and roam the tracks at night with his lantern. One night he passed out over the tracks, and, wouldn't ya know it, the train came through and decapitated him.
Few years later, reports started popping up of a light that would sway back and forth across the tracks, coming closer and closer to you. Well, several friends and I went out one night to see if it was real. It is totally dark out there, being so far from any large city, so anything you see that looks like light most likely is.
Let me say first that I have been wearing contact lenses for a while, and my eyes have become damaged to the point that they are VERY sensitive to light. As a result, I have uncharacteristically good night vision. Anyway, we sat out there for almost 2 hours with nothing to show for it, then a friend noticed something red down the tracks about 2 or 3 miles (it's a LONG straight stretch of tracks...at least a few miles). I whipped my head around, and sure enough, a flickering red orb was floating above the tracks, erratically swinging back and forth, coming closer and closer. It was about this time that I found my feet, and quickly hauled @$$ out of there. My friends followed.
Couple weeks later, we went back out again (I got talked into it) and ran into a couple of rednecks that go out there to get drunk. They explained a bit more for us, as they have been coming out there for years.
They pointed us in the direction of a graveyard from the civil war that was located not too far from the tracks. One of my friends with a flashlight went over and looked the tombstones. True to their word, all the tombstones bore the dates of people who died way back in the 1800's.
But it gets even weirder.
Supposedly (and this is just speculation on the redneck's part), one of them sat out there one night, and waited for the light to come get him. It came swooping down the tracks, right at him. He said he could hear it humming as it got closer, and it finally came to his position, at which point it went right through him and on down the tracks.
I haven't been back since, and won't.
There's an even weirder, scarier, and more hair-raising place in Arkansas, a hotel up by Rogers that involves stuff that would make grown men shiver. Look it up on Google, or lemme know and I'll put what I know on here. A friend of mine actually spent her wedding night there, for some unknown reason. She always has been a little odd though...
Oh sweet, found these about Manchester, TN itself:
Manchester - Historic Tower House Inn - The Tower House as it is known by locals was built by the main financial contributor to the originating fund for and the First President of People's Bank and Trust Co. Around the time that John P. Adams began to build the tower house both his wife May and toddler son Marion passed away. Until 1943 Mr. Adams continued to live in his wonderful house with tower rising over the structure. He owned several lots which extended well toward the town square and a store which is still located at 210 Spring St. on the historic town square. Since 1963 a few brave individuals have admitted to hearing May weep or show fear during a storm. John is often seen strolling through the house from the men's parlor to the front room which houses a Civil War exhibit. Marion is seen upstairs in the boys' room where he and brother John Jr. would watch for kids to come down the way. Marion is seen at times toddling over to the window. He is a blonde haired boy clothed in a wonderful soft light. There are no bad spirits here. May did show great sadness the day a 1870's period garment was place on display in their master bedroom which is now the main lodging room for the current inn. Several media sources have already noted this haunting including radio and newspapers in Tennessee. The inn is owned by GhostLabs Research Society's Dan and Carol Gist. Carol conducts ghost tours each day or house tours according to visitors requests. Information about the inn can be accessed on the - Ghostlabs.com website.
Manchester - Tullahoma - Concord Cemetery - This cemetery is said to be haunted by the ghost of Sadie Baker. Her apparition has been seen on several occasions in the cemetery. This is one of Coffee County's oldest known ghosts.
If she supposedly cries during storms, and it's supposed to thunderstorm the entire time at Bonnaroo, we should go check that out. Might make for an educational experience one night.
Newport, Rhode Island- Salve Regina University - Carey Mansion - supposedly a nun hung herself. The room is boarded up and every month a priest has to come in and bless the house.
Newport, Rhode Island - Salve Regina University - McAuley Hall - is haunted by a little boy who fell out of a window while watching his parents arrive by boat.
I used to live on the same campus about 1/4 mile from both of these houses! I'm going to have to see this for myself over the summer.

My grandpa died 7 years ago. My grandma insisted that his ghost was in the house for the longest time. we never believed her. One time i was over there cleaning the kitchen. My grandma wasnt home and my aunt was gardening. I was paying special attention to the kitchen counters, using lysol pads to disinffect the surface. I left the room to turn up the radio which took about 20 secs to do. I come back there's pictures of me and my grandpa laid out on the kitchen counter.
I didnt know what to think, veeery erie. I didnt talk for the rest of the day.
Other little things happen to. certain rooms will occasionally smell like the cigars he used to smoke. radio stations will be changed, volumes as well.
Thats my ghost story! there are spirits all around...
It's not so bad. They can get really annoying sometimes though, I don't think they like the barrier to my room, sometimes I'll be in my room with the door closed and hear running then somthing slams into the door, all with no one home or someone going "What the hell was that?" Ghosts don't bother me, just make sure you don't invite them in. Besides they know that if I'm playing a video game or watching football not to mess with me, I will get the holy water.
