Absolutely. I've had several experiences with spirits. I hope it is okay to tell about what happened. I don't want to bore anyone.
1.) When I was 10 years old, I stayed overnight with my friend Kathryn at her grandparents home. This home was one of the oldest plantations in Louisiana.
As soon as we turned the lights off to go to sleep, I kept hearing someone (something) running up and down their spiral staircase. Whatever it was, was wearing what sounded like the old riding boots. Very heavy footsteps.
I was the only one who heard it though. I finally hid under my blankets and went to sleep.
2.) In 2000 my Mothers beloved Dog, Rena passed away. A few days after Rena passed, I looked out my Mothers kitchen window, and Rena was running around the yard sniffing the grass, and looking around. Kind of freaked me out.
3.) This same year I was renting a home from a close friend. Very nice home it was. Until the door to the laundry room would open and close by itself. I sat in front of that door one night watching it open and close by itself. And this was a huge, heavy door.
The living room in this house had been remodeled. One wall was closed off in the remodeling process. One day I was cleaning, and had the TV off. Just a nice silent, cleaning day. I kept hearing muffled voices in the closed off wall. It happened everyday at the exact same time. 2 P.M. It sounded like 3 or 4 people just discussing days events.
This was a 4 storied house. There were 4 bedrooms on the top floor. When I would walk down the hallway, it sounded like someone was dragging their nails across both sides of the wall. I had the house checked for mice a week later. There were no mice, roaches, termites, nothing!
I was very happy when I moved from that house. After I moved out my friend finally decided to tell me that his kids would never stay in the house alone! Some friend, right?! LOL
4.) In 1996 my Grandmother on my Mothers side had passed away that morning. I was sitting on the floor in the dining room, looked up, and I seen my grandmother in the kitchen staring at me. Grandmother smacked the calendar off the kitchen wall, then vanished.
5.) I've had several different experiences in the home I'm living in now. All the bedrooms are on the top floor. I had to start sleeping in the living room on a couch.
Every single time I would drift off to sleep upstairs, I would feel someone either touching my shoulders, or my back. Something also pulled the blanket off of me up there at least 3 times. One of those times I distinctly heard someone breathing in my ear.
We can't shut any of the closet doors, or bedroom doors upstairs. If we shut them, they will be open an hour later when no one has been up there.
I've had other little things happen here and there. I'm sorry I babbled on. I'm a huge believer in the paranormal. I hope I will read other experiences in this post.
Excellent topic choice by the way~
I am also a huge believer. Did you ever try interacting with the spirits ? Also, I always love a good experince, so I enjoyed the recounts. Well, the only paranormal experince I have had was with my closet. When I first moved into this house, I sensed a very dark presence. I never told my family. Every night it was as though someone was scrathing the walls and I would awake and the door would be open whereas it was closed the night before. Then one day I got tired of that everynight, and told the entity that this was my home now and that it had to leave. That night, i woke up and the door opened then I heard a whistle right behind my left ear. I almost jumped out of my bed. Now the entity is gone.
i believe cause ive experienced things and seen them as well.
i have a great friend that is absolutely convinced that they dont exist. i find it amusing when i say that ive seen them. would be like me saying ive been to australia and then someone else says that they dont believe in australia.
lol

lol. i believe in spirits too. i never actually encountered one before though.
I have seen Spirits actually far and inbetween.
I have felt the presence of spirits
Yes, I do believe energy lives on after our
spirit leaves our bodies.
has anyone ever actually had physical contact? ever felt the touch of a spirit as a physical phenomenon?
~W~
I felt the touch a few times, it was not pleasant, at a few times even had pain caused, so I do beleive but probably not what everyone does, to me spirits are one thing only and its not a good thing.
but thats my personal opinion, everyone is in title to theirs lol
I have seen a few ghosts in the past, and had strange experiences, but I try not to take total beleifs in them, and I keep myself agnostic. It depends on my altered state of mind am in, but all I can say is it was a strange experience, because there is no way of proofing to my spiritual experiences to other people. I like to experiment, investigate and explore my spitritual experiences, to search for the truth, and use the scientific method. I like to create different rituals and explore the Occult, by using tools like tarot and glass balls or anything with a reflective surface.
Yes I do. I've experienced different things that cannot be explained away easily.
1) I've been touched many times after recent deaths
2) After she died my mom used to watch me sleep when i was younger and i'd feel watched when i woke up.
All in all there are things that cannot be explained and i've seen a lot. it can't be explained easily most of the time.
A few months ago my grandmother passed away and about a week ago i had i dream that i was in her house then everything went dark and it was just me and her. she looked at me and said she loved me and said this is good bye and she disappeared then i woke up. so yes i believe in them
yes. there is somthing out there. whether they be spirits, or what ever else they liked to be called. i have had encounteres and hope that i never have an encounter with an unfriendly one....
LW yes I have had contact with something that I could not readily explain and the fact that I saw it yet saw through it led me to the conclusion that it was a spirit if you will. the fact that it deliberately interacted with me and my husband at the same time and we both saw it led me to the conclusion that it was intelligent.
I definitely belive in spirits , i get visited regularly in every house i,ve ever lived at . I feel their pressance in the room and get touched , held down , weird voices , elecrical static and stuff like that arround me . I ,ve joined ghost hunting groups , mediumship groups and various covens and think theres a great many people who are full of crap out there , but the stuff thats happend to me makes be know beyond a shadow of a doubt that theres entities floating about out there .
tigerzplay...thats amazing.
has anyone ever been able to capture a spirit on film? or to take a good EVP?
~W~
Yes. i have myself Experienced a spirit/supernatural being.
The only spirit I believe in is Vodka with a slice of lemon.
With all the technology around today one would have thought that the evidence would have been produced to prove without doubt of such things. Not only that but my investigating over a score still have not convinced me of such things.
ok are they really around or is it our own individual need for healing and resolution that we think we see them.
I've had a couple up close and personal encounters with "shadow beings". They feel very heavy and my usual reaction is to relax until it's over. I didn't know what they were before, but I do now. :)
I absolutely believe in Spirits.
What I love even better is when a skeptic finally has an encounter with a spirit and has to retract their former concept that they didn't/don't exist.
ive had arguments with skeptics before regarding things ive actually experienced, and i really do find that such things piss me off LOL
