Lets see if you can put your money where your mouth is haha

j/k, just another poll

i hope i never see a ghost, that would trip me out so much!

I did, with two of my mates as well, at the same time. It happened 20 years ago, In a barracks of a military school/camp where we were booked to stay for a couple of nights for a friendly invitational baseball game.

Apparently, what we saw was an apparition of a young woman sitting on the cot near the window at the end of this big room, situated on the second floor. The were ten cots in that room. She was sitting on the last one near the window and we were seven cots away from her.

It was 5:45 pm, 15 minutes before dinner time, and being guest in the camp, there was a service bus waiting for us downstairs to bring us to the mess hall half a mile away. Everyone else from our team were on the bus already and there were just three of us left in the room.

One of my teammate(Greg) was just standing there talking about the big game the following morning, while my other mate(Stephen) and I were sorting our shoes laces out and intently listening to him. Then Greg abruptly stopped chatting and when I turned and looked at his face he looked scared and then pointed to us to the direction of the window. I remember myself not moving for about 10 seconds just staring at the apparition. Then Stephen and I almost at the same time, slowly got up with shoelaces still untied but not taking our eyes away from her. We sluggishly walked to the door and onto the stairwell (btw no one ever made a sound while this were happening). As we reached the steps we rushed downwards 5 steps at a time. I actually almost peed on my trousers.

What we saw was a silhouette of a beautiful sad woman sitting on the cot with her body facing the window and her head turned towards us as if asking us to console her. I have a very clear picture of her in my mind but I can not seem to remember her face, all of us know she was beautiful but actually did not see a face.

We never spoke about this with any of our other teammates for fear that they will laugh at us, but on the last day of our stay the Officer-in-charge of the barracks, while we were saying our goodbyes, asked if any of us had a visit from the white lady? Actually she was a very frequent ghost there in that building, she was newly married to this young soldier, whom after a few weeks of their marriage was assigned to a rebel infested area down south and his troop was ambushed and died.

The woman was staying in that barracks whilst waiting for a news regarding the flight of her husband, and when his death was confirmed she committed suicide by tying a rope round her neck and jumping out of the window.

This is my first and only encounter so far, by the way.

I think I will open a new thread about this.

i'd have to answer 'not sure' to this poll.
i saw something fleeting and out of the corner of my eye, but i don't know that it was a ghost.

Not me, but my girlfriend got visited by my deceased grandfather. That was...odd, to say the least. She's very sensitive to such activity, but has never seen anything, only felt. I don't seem to be receptive att all. A shame (?).

I've had that, too. It seems to happen more when I'm stressed. My mother says that's what causes it.

I've sensed things, but don't know if I've actually seen anything.

The summer after my grandfather died, I stayed with my grandmother. She had moved downstairs with her mom. The upper and lower level were two different dwellings. My cousin and I used to play upstairs. Anyway, one night I had a dream (I think). I was staying in a bedroom at the front of the house. The stairs for the second level were directly over this room. I heard substantial creaking on the stairs like someone walking up. In my dream? I got up, went outside and up the stairs. I went inside and through the house. At the back of the house was the bedroom my grandfather died in (he had cancer). I saw him sitting up in the bed. He motioned for me to come sit with him. I did, and he told me he loved me, and explained why he wasn't around anymore. I told him I knew about death. I was maybe 6 at the time. We talked for a while (I don't remember about what), and he told me to go back to bed and get some sleep.

The next day, my cousin and I went up there to play and that bed was messed up like someone had slept in it. It was always made up. By the way, the house door was locked as it was supposed to be. It was really weird.

Years later, my cousin's family had moved into the house and remodeled (no problems). One night while her parents were out of town, her boyfriend stayed overnight with her. She heard the hallway door slam hard (her room was upstairs). That door DOES NOT CLOSE AT ALL. Between the thick carpet and it not fitting properly into the door jamb, it was impossible. The rest of the night, she said she felt watched. She jokes that it was Uncle Monroe (my grandfather) showing his displeasure for her boyfriend being there with her parents away. So maybe his spirit is still in the house. My husband said when we stayed with them for the first time after my son was born, he felt a presence standing next to him. He said it felt threatening (my GD was very protective). He said it stood there awhile and moved away in the direction of my son's playpen. Then moved to my side of the bed, and finally back to him. At this point it didn't feel AS threatening, but he said it was there all night. On ther other hand, I felt at peace. By the way, We stayed in the same room he died in. I didn't think about it until afterwards. Even now, when we visit, DH says he always feel the presence, but it's more focused on my son, now, and it feels protective-safe. He says he knows it's the same presence, because it "warns him" when we get there, but then leaves him alone. Odd.

I havent actually seen one, but I've sort of heard or sensed things. Just a bunch of strange little things. So my vote would have to be "not sure"

I think that doesn't count then.

I have! I've seen one at my ex-girls house(still friends..hehe) on numerous occasions. He's a 5 year old boy that seems to be just playful. I often wake up to see him watching TV, sitting in the middle of room. It's always on either the Disney Channel or the Cartoon Network. I usually don't realize it until I wake up in the morning and the television's still on those channels. Everytime we come home, it's always on these channels. One time, the neighbors called the Police, and reported her for leaving her child at home. They reported seeing a little boy knocking on the window waving. The police came up to her place of work to pick her up, and when they got back to her house, other officers were at her home. There was no boy there.

Yes. My mom and I lived in a house on a road that is actually called ghost road. We would hear it walking up and down the hallway sometimes. Also, often in the middle of the night, our buzzer on our oven would go off by itself, things would get knocked off of the shelf and doors would open. Under the kitchen in the cellar, my uncle found a jar of old money while trying to fix our water-heater. That night, we couldn't sleep and went to sit on the front porch. An immobile glowing figure was just standing a few yards away in the big dirt lot by the house. We lived there for another 6 months or so and never saw or heard any trace of it again. Our theory is that it was my great uncle watching over the money he had left there when the banks were losing people's money during the depression. I will attach an image of the house if I decide to go take a picture.

lol
well exactly.
so the poll needs to add yes, no, or not sure what i saw.

Yes I have it was my brother's ghost. I knew it was him not scary at all.

I saw my grandma a couple of days after she died cured my stomach ache, thanks grandma. That was my only encounter with a ghost.

never seen one but would like to see one!

YEP, i've seen one but this one came in the form of a white mist in the shape of a person. it was quite scary to see it, for it was in my bedroom! i woke up one night and there it was! alot of strange things at the time had been going on it our house like hearing footsteps, voices, things moving, have strange feelings etc but no apparation until now. when i saw it i thought i was crazy, also being scared i went to sleep with my grandmother (i was much younger then). she sleeps with her door open and when i looked up i saw the mist just standing in the hallway outside the bedroom, it had followed me from my room and down the hallway! later on in years i was talking to my brother about strange things that have happened in our house and he then mentioned about seeing a misty shape much like mine stading near his bedroom door one night when he woke up, he spoke of it moving closer to his bed then dissepearing, exactly the same thing happened with me when i saw the figure

Yes I've seen a couple of full spirits.

Thanks for your contribution guys

Interesting results...

I've seen two ghosts in my life. One looked so real and solid you would have never known if someone they had known had not been with you freaking out because the ghost was even wearing the clothing he died in. The other went by the doorway so fast I just saw a white blur and heard the sound of running feet. My mother saw the blur from the reflection in a window. My daughter who was 5 at the time was in the direction it was going and I found her standing with her toothbrush hanging out of her mouth in the bathroom doorway.

Some neat experiences in this thread....



I believe that they use our psychic energy to manifest themselves on the physical plane. Stress/anxiety just oozes psychic energy.

I've never seen one.
