Who belives in ghosts???

[teadrinker]

No, I don't believe in ghosts. I do believe that the human mind, being a complex and semi-controlled entity, can sometimes interpret odd experiences in terms of non-existent things.

That being said, however, I absolutely love ghost stories! Especially the great Victorian writers such as Le Fanu, and a bit later, M. R. James. Wonderful stuff.

I have only had one such experience and I have posted it before. I was 3 years old and what I saw was not transparent, but more like a tall old person, male, inhumanly pale and out of place, white eyes and long white hair and beard. I couldn't speak or move, but then he kind of raised his arms and I just turned and ran and started to cry.

In retrospect, I realize I might have had my first run in with some poor home-less person (I was at a park). Then again, I never saw any other home-less person who looked like that; also, the clean white clothes doesn't match up. I can't be sure if ghosts are real or not and if it wasn't for that one experience, then I would definitely think ghosts are not real unless someone found real proof/evidence.

Yes, I do.

I use to not.

Which proves the point that those who've never experienced an encounter with a Ghost will never believe, while those who do will.

I had an old historic house in Dallas a few years ago, and there was always some really weird things going on.

Sounds mostly, keys hitting the floor, doors slamming, footsteps in the dining room pacing around the table, bells ringing.

Then after a while smells, perfume, cigar, chicken soup.

Then actual sightings.

My Ghost's name was Gladdus. Mid to late 40's, salt and pepper grey hair tied up in a bun. A little wide in the hips, battonburg lace apron, and long boney fingers. She always looked distressed.

Since I was restoring the house she'd show up every now and again to ask what I was doing. She was never really scary, though I did get some serious chills whenever she came around.

Anyway it's a long story because it took place over the course of eight years, but I eventually had a professional "para-psychologist" and a few friends to come by to get "them" to leave.

Turned out that Gladdus was there looking for her Daughter, who was in fact there, and she had an attitude!

So yes, I believe in Ghosts. Didn't want to, but I ran out of rational explanations for the day to day events that took place in my house.

i know a girl who in her house whenever her and her bf had sex she would get cold and feel someone pulling her hair, it once freaked her so much she turned round and swears she saw and old women in her dresser mirror shaking her head at her.

That was the only way that I could ever see my "other" ghost was in my mirrors in the house.

I kept at least one wall mirror strategically placed in each room of the house. If something weird was going on, or I got that weird vibe, I could usually see her staring looking at me through one of those mirrors.

She'd usually be standing somewhere in that room, and the mirrors were the only way that I would know where she "physically" was at.

She was pretty too!

I do. I do, I do believe in spooks! Seen 'em, heard "em, had 1 hovering over me when I laid in bed like she was going to lay on top of me. Only time in my life I screamed like a little girl. After that, I rarely saw her, but every night when I tried to go to sleep, right as I started to doze off, I would feel a head to toe pressure that always scared the shit out of me. I couldn't open my eyes, no matter how hard I tried. I finally started saying "NO" to the empty room after coming out of the experience, and it wouln't start again, til the next night. I know it'll sound weird, but 1 time I just relaxed and gave in to the pressure, and felt like I had a long orgasm from head to toe. It was amazing! I was never able to repeat the experience and once I moved out of that house, never had any of the experiences again.
