I've never 'seen' or heard anything otherworldly, though I tried for decades. I believe and know that others do though.
Have you?
hey!
i've seen many "dead" people... or ghosts... or apparitions... whatever you'd like to call them.
the scarest one i've seen was on my grandmothers hill - it was grey and had long hair and raggidy cloths.
the second scariest one i've seen walked across the road to my grandmothers house, then i seen it beside her house. i knocked on her door and heard a voice say " it's okay, i'm coming " so i waited. nothing happened. so i knocked again and my grandmother said her usall thing. i asked her and she said she didn't hear me.
the creepest one i've seen - it was with some friends - and we were sitting under a light and it was in the woods - and you could hear it and then about 200 feet away you could hear it again. and it had red eyes.
i've seen one walking down the road. it was about a foot tall with red eyes.
once i was lying on the couch and a man walked in the door, through my feet and through the wall into my grandmothers bedroom.
there was a ghost i've seen three times in my bedroom. it's a little boy.
the first time i seen him i woke up and he was there.
the second time i seen him i had my dog with me and she started going crazy so i looked up and he was infront of the mirror.
the third time he was sitting in the chair in the bedroom.
...
that's enough for now!
Is there any evidence for these sightings over an above your anecdotes?
Were others involved? Had others seen the same stuff? Any other witnesses from any other instances?
How do you explain such experiences?
Nothing, ever. Not even the slightest sniff of a sprite nor the poorest precognitive perception; I'm afraid I'm not "gifted." My sometime fiancée, however, is extremely gifted in her ability to perceive things which others could not; her particular gift is known as paranoid schizophrenia.
I once saw a UFO. :o
It was in broad daylight and I was going to my friend's house after school (age about 15) and I saw a large trapezium shaped object moving fairly slowly across the sky. It was a sort of red light for about a second and then invisible for a second and was flashing on and off as it moved. It went behind a cloud and I followed the expected trajectory but it never re-emerged at the other side! ???
I've never seen anything like it before or since either personally or in literature.
I have no idea what it was but I expect it was some sort of optical illusion.
Or.....

Seen a Ghost?
The term covers several possibilities in terms of causes so cannot give a definitive answer.
Had a Psychic Vision?
The term could cover a multitude of events, phenomena, depending on definitions and perspectives – in excess of two thousand hours of experiences but what they are is very varied and depends on interpretation.
Summat?
I leave such things to Chris Bonnington, et al.

It was night so it was quite dark though I suppose.
Does your friend normally keep dead cats in her bathroom?
I once came home late at night to find the stairs were spinning and the romm was moving.....I was of course, totally pissed at the time
LOL
Work that into a challenge application and Randi's money is as good as yours!I once came home late at night to find the stairs were spinning and the romm was moving.....I was of course, totally pissed at the time
WRT to the OP, I have experienced a number of weird/vaguely spooky events which I put down to ghosts etc at the time but which I've since found alternative explanations which make more sense. The vast majority took place at night, nearly always as I was falling asleep (or having woken suddenly in the night) and always during a period of general stress/upset.
The most persistent 'haunting' occurred over a number of years after we moved into a new house on a newly built estate. I hated being alone in the house and always felt uneasy and anxious. It felt as though there was a constant 'presence', watching and waiting in the background (we referred to it as 'Fred'). We saw shadows moving around the house, heard footsteps on the stairs and so on. Visitors to the house commented on an oppressive feeling etc..
The estate was next to an industrial estate and a huge refrigeration unit had been built on the boundary between the two. We lived a few streets away from it. But residents in the houses nearest to the unit complained that their lives were blighted by a constant humming noise caused by the company's industrial freezers. They successfully sued the company, forcing them to properly insulate and sound-proof their building. As soon as this happened, 'Fred' disappeared. I'm not scientifically literate enough to explain the connection, but I've seen enough tv shows/newspaper articles to speculate that the haunting in our house had been due to some sort of low frequency vibrations gone awry.
Hi
Yes I had my first experience about 50 years ago when I saw my (just) deceased Grandmother in spirit form sitting at the foot of my bed when I was about 8. I know I was awake.
Last night I attended a physical seance and heard direct voice from several spirit people, heard much banging and clattering as they came and went, saw an ectoplasmic form materialise outside of the cabinet which spoke to several people and shook hands with them etc
No spoof - I am throwing my hat in the ring as a Spiritualist !
Please keep looking, with an open mind and with all your critical faculties operating and you will come to understand that we are more than a carbon unit and are spirit as well as physical beings !
Of course I am not sad and deluded - but I would say that wouldn't I ?
Hi Dene,
Welcome to the forum!
Couple of questions re the spirit of your dead grandmother:
1) How do you 'know' you were awake?
2) Have you got a photographic memory and if not, how can you rely on a 50-year old memory? (I recently had a blazing argument with my sister because I was so sure that a childhood toy was blue when she clearly recalls it as red).
3) Who was running the seance that you attended?
4) Did you pay to attend the seance?
That's it for now, look forward to discussing this with you!
Hello Dene and welcome.
I'd be interested to know more about the séance.
Who held it, where, under what conditions, etc.?
I think most of us would consider physical mediumship to be the least convincing evidence of an afterlife by far; but if you can explain why it is that such a séance convinced you we'll be happy to listen.
Was there any information that came though or was it the conditions of the séance that was convincing?
