I would love to believe in ghosts, as it would support my hope that there is an after life, but I have never had any experience of the super-natural.
Has anyone had a genuine super-natural experience?
It would be very interesting if it was true but much as I would like to believe I do not. I often know what is going to happen before it does and am not surprised when it happens but I think it is because my brain picks up on small indications and I am not psychic.
Yes, a few i used to work in a haunted pub. On one occasion i had my hair pulled and another beds had unmade themselves.
On another occasion i worked in a homeless shelter which was a former orphanage, we used to hear children weeping and laughing regularly.
Yes, a couple. Some connected with an old office I used to work in and one involving an elderly lady, which I have already recounted on the religious site.
yes.. I got a visit from my Cousins little daughter just after she died aged 6... she visited me and my husband and we heard footsteps in what was her bedroom (when she stayed with us)... we both felt the air thicken.. and got goosebumps in waves up and down our bodies. then when she had gone.. we felt the air change again.
She was also SEEN by another family friend and someone else saw shadows of little feet running past bottom of a door...
Apparently when someone you love dies they have been known to go round and make visits to people in the early days after their death
I obviously dont KNOW for sure it was her.. but I tend to think it was.. and despite my original thoughts I would be terrified if anything unexplained like that happened near me.. I felt nothing but love and warmth and happy memories.. It was lovely!
I was in the pub early one evening all alone so decided to throw a few darts, when one bounced out onto the floor, as I bent down to pick it up I would swear that someone put their hand on my shoulder and I suddenly felt cold but when I straightened up there was no-one there. The pub is supposed to have a ghost but I dismissed it as probably a muscle twinge or something similar as I don't believe in such things, although I've never forgotten it.
D97x7 thats pretty scary!!
I always thought that if you are made to feel cold, and scared then its not a nice spirit.. and that if you feel warmth and calm then its a nice one..
But maybe thats not true!
"But does all these stories prove there`s an afterlife?"
Well if it doesnt.. then either people are making it up.. or have very vivid imaginations... Maybe we all drink too much whiskey?
It is unexplained.... and therefore makes you wonder doesnt it...
when i we were first married my husband and i lived with his grandad and whenever i came downstairs i always felt there was someone watching me at the top, but there was no-one there.Later i found out that someone had hung themselves from the loft on the landing! My husband said it was all in my imagination 'cos he never felt anything!
Had poltergeist in my flat in North London, the pictures and ornaments would fly off the walls in one room, very disconcerting, and I found that an old man had committed suicide there years earlier. My dog howled and whined and wouldn't go in the room. I consoled myself by saying it was because I lived on the main Finchley Road and it was the traffic! Left soon after!
Net and Nelly.. those are scary stories!!!!!
I would Sugar myself if it happened to me!
Mind you - I think we have an upset ghost in our house cos last Xmas day a glass flew off the arm of a sofa.. and some of us in the room saw a white light fly at the glass as if knocking it off!
With regard to D97's experience. Something similar happened in the office I mentioned above, to a colleague. We were mad busy typing away when she suddenly screamed, turned round and put her hand on her shoulder and then promptly burst into tears. She said someone (or something) had just put a hand on her shoulder and squeezed! This girl was a very dour Scot and didn't suffer fools gladly and yet this reduced het to a quivering wreck.
What I mean Nosher123 is, who is to say these entities (or whatever they are called) are the spiriits of the people who have passed on. Maybe we leave more of a "presence" in our "absence". Or Maybe their are other "beings" that take advantage of the departed`s absence and nothing at all to do with the "real" person. If you see what I mean.
another time after my sister died her daughter said she couln't stop thinking about her in pain. one night i had a dream that my sister came to visit me, she was about thirty years younger than when she died, when i asked what she came for she said to see me. I asked her what she did all day and she said she watches over all her family.She said when she saw my other sister was ill she thought 'ah you b..... you'll be up here with me soon. my sister died about 1 year later. My sister who died first her daughter said that is just what her mum would say and things were easier for her after that because she knew her mum wasn't in pain anymore and happy!i think it was a message to stop her daughter worrying
I am quite envious of some of the experiences posted, but I do not think you can encourage a visit; there are a number of people who have died that I would welcome a visit from but it does not seem to happen.
