I have seen ghosts and one was down in a factory I worked in around the 80's on a back shift at night of an old man walking in another section of the factory then suddenly just disappeared in front of my eyes, after that he would play games with me like turning lights on and off or moving objects, in the end I would just say "Fuck off, I'm busy working" but he never did me any harm.
The next ghost I saw was in this flat we live in about 8 years ago, I left the wife in the lounge watching tv and went to bed as I had an early rise in the morning for work, I crashed out and about two hours later woke up and saw a figure of an old woman standing at the bottom of my bed just staring at me, I rubbed my eyes and then she disappeared.
It was as if she was giving me a message so I jumped out of bed and made my way to the lounge as the wife was still watching tv, stuck my head in around the lounge door and said to the wife "You are watching some paranormal show on tv about ghost's aren't you?", I could not see the tv and the wife said "Yes, why" and I told her what I had seen then went back to bed.
I have never seen or heard the wife move so fast before but within 5 minutes she had turned the tv off and jumped in bed and asked me to turn the hallway and lounge light off, which I did, the wife has never watched any scary shows anymore since that night and will only watch them if I am sitting beside her.

I love the X Files,all science fiction etc,and WISH that evidence of aliens existed,but so far, nada. I feel differently about Religion, in that you may as well go and worship Dumbledore,as there’s as much evidence of him existing after all. I would much rather believe in Druidic worship,tress, earth, water nature, etc, or Bhuddism that strives for inner peace than have some priest chant over me, although I completely understand how and why people derive comfort etc through faith so am not knocking it. Whatever floats your boat and gets you through life is the best way to go,irrespective of what/who you believe.

don't have to believe me but heres mine... I used to live in an old town house over 100 years old. it was once a dentist and it was also a bed n breakfast. during the time it was a dentist a young girl died under anaesthetic and during the time it was a bed sit, a women hung herself and committed suicide. we have always had weird going ons, huge mirrors being taken off the wall, stuff going missing then turning back up in the middle of the hall. this usually happens when we were working on the house, we heard that this was because they were being unsettled with all the movements and changes.
the main one for me, I was 15 sitting my GCSE's, turned the lights and tv off to go to sleep. I heard the TV switch on, the electrical noise, tried to find the remote as I thought I rolled on to it, turned out to be in the drawer. the tv started flashing white noise and making loads of noise. I had old sliding wooden windows that started shaking. I had a panic attack. couldn't move, couldn't shout. managed to shout then my mam ran in. I didn't stay in my room for 2 weeks after that. I wasn't a child and I wasn't imagining things. I used to hear tapping at the end of my metal bed, told it to shut up and the bulb in my lamp blew and went out.
my friends used to refuse to stay in my house, one of them was adamant he seen a little girl. my dad ran out the basement when he was working down there as he heard the girl talking to him and something got knocked off the shelf. he waited until my mum came home from work. the dog runs after things. floor boards creek all the time.
I used to hate staying in the house on my own even up until I left when I was 25. it was a big house and it had a weird feel. they play tricks but nothing ever sinister.
believe me or not. im not telling lies

I can remember my mother telling us of a paranormal experience she had during a German bombing raid in Tilbury, Essex in 1940, the air raid sirens went off and instead of going to the air raid shelter in the garden as she could tell that the German planes were way in the distance bombing somewhere else she closed the bedroom curtains and took our 3 sisters who were young then in the bed with her and just waited until the all-clear was given (sirens).
In the bedroom, there was like a glass partition just above the bedroom door and she had a feeling that someone was looking at her through the glass, so she got a candle from the bedside table and tried lighting it with a match but when she struck the match she could feel a small breath of wind and the match blew out, she said this happened 3 times when she tried to light the candle, she said her hand was shaking by then but she said "Look, whoever you are or whatever you are you will not frighten me, I am more worried about them German bombers, my husband away at sea in the navy and my 3 children beside me", she then struck a match and it stayed alight and she lit the candle and said she felt a nice warm feeling go over her and she did not have a feeling anymore that someone was looking at her through the glass above the bedroom door.
Eventually, she moved out of that house and moved into another house a few miles away but she heard from a friend that the house she lived in where she had that paranormal experience was hit by German bombs during a blitz and when they were clearing the rubble away they found a skeleton buried underneath that had died years before, apparently female remains.
I do not know to this day if this was a true paranormal experience she had or was only a spooky story she told us when we were children growing up in Tilbury Docks.

My best mate used to be adamant that he saw ghosts. He would wake up in the middle of the night and see figures lurking in the corner of his room or sat at the end of his bed, and he would hear them whispering. This happened all through his childhood carried on well into adulthood. It turns out he gets sleep paralysis on a regular basis, and hallucinations are a symptom. He still sees them, but now he knows what they are. I think he was a bit disappointed they weren't real, to be honest.

I don't believe in anything anynore. I used to pretty much thrive on anything to do with the paranormal but eventually you realise that if you never actually see anything yourself then it boils down to faith alone, which I struggle with. I am an atheist but I diverge from Dawkins and the rest of the militant crowd, because I understand that people want something more, and if they choose that route to understanding their place in the world, then who am I to start shouting them down? I actually envy people who believe in God. I won't lie, I'm scared of death. That uncertainty, nothingness, whatever. I'd love to believe there was a heaven, I just can't. But I don't begrudge anyone believing in something that ultimately helps them make sense of everything. As far as ghosts and that, I've never seen anything. People I know say they have, and I'm not saying they're lying, but it's just rock hard to believe anything like that is real if you've not seen it yourself isn't it.

All sorts of shit happens Lol, do you mean my mother was drinking whisky then at that time then I doubt it as rationing was around then and even bread was hard to come by, or if you mean the other two ghost experience like the one in the factory then I doubt that too as I would have been sacked on the spot if the factory foreman had smelt whisky on my breath and the bedroom ghost experience, I could not drink because of work the next day. Why did you have to mention whisk(ey), I miss that beautiful amber nectar where I would get loads of bottles around Christmas/New Year time when I was working and nowadays since I had that heart scare over a year ago I am restricted to just wine.

Actually, I was born in England and our family emigrated to Australia in 1961, my father was English and my mother was Scottish I used to like you man. Should have just next it as Scottish. Lol, I class myself more Scottish though (right of birth on my mother's side) as I have spent most of my life in Australia and Scotland, the wife is Scottish and our 2 kids (now adults) are Scottish and our grandson's. I still have a lot of friends in England and still contact them now and then as I worked in Southend-On-Sea on and off over the years, been settled in Scotland now for over 20 years. As I have mentioned in here before I class myself as a halfbreed, my blood must be crazy as I was born in England, grew up in Australia, my father was English and my mother was Scottish and I have grandparents who were Irish.
