The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

So there's been a lot of talk on this site about whether or not paranormal stuff is real, but never has there been any definitive answer other than 'if it is we cant measure it yet'.
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to come forth with their most convincing stories or articles or documentaries, as there is someone i must convert.... mwahahahahahahahahahahah
pls help. >_>

We have many ghosts in our house. Recently, I cam home to find the rug in front of the kitchen had been flipped over. Neither my husband Bonor kids had done it . One night, I called my husband downstairs because the fan in the kitchen was spinning as if it were being pushed--speeding up then slowing down. We checked for drafts and there was none we watched it for several minutes, then he went to turn on the fan, and it started spinning-- in the other direction!

This is what you would call, an audio haunt:

I was walking up Pere Antoines Alley one evening on my way to a tour (circa 2003) in New Orleans. The security guard was at the usual spot in the middle of the alley reading a book. There is a lamp post on each end of the alley. As I walked past the security guard, I began to hear foot falls, running in my general direction from behind me. I was to the middle of the alley by this time. The foot falls were directly behind me, never passing me as I reached the end of the alley toward Rue Royal. I wanted to turn around and say that there was no one there, since the runner should have passed me by now. I turned toward the lamp post, the foot falls were the same, but as I turned all the way around, they faded into the wind and the security guard was the only other person in the alley aside from myself.

This is what you call a visual haunt:

A few friends of mine were talking about ghosts and what not one night. I noticed a Ouija board on the top of the ice box (that's a refrigerator to you), I asked if they had ever used it... they asked me if I wanted to. I said yes. One of the was a skeptic though. So I told them that I knew how to use it and had them (three) get into a circle surrounding the board. I asked the spirit to make itself known (spirit of the ouija, no other spirit save for the spirit of the ouija itself should be present). It said yes. I think told them all to go back to what they were doing. About five minutes passed, the ouija must have gotten annoyed by the way we ignored it without closing the session because the dial flew from the board and slid into the kitchen. We were all watching the television 5 feet from the board when we heard it slide slightly before flying. We ALL saw it fly through the air and into the kitchen. Immediately after that, I picked up the dial, put it back onto the board and asked that we all join the circle for closing. We said our goodbyes... needless to say, the skeptic was a bit shaken up from that episode.

When I was younger, we would go to my aunt and uncle's house a lot and play on the landing of the stairs. One day we put the toys back in the box on the landing and came downstairs and I sat on the couch. I felt a cold woosh and the cushion next to me sunk down. I never freaked out so much in my life. I got up and went back to the landing to play with the toys. It seemed that whatever sat by me on the couch was now on the landing with me because the box was pushed down the stairs and I didn't do it. My aunt said "Oh that's the ghost again."

Even now their hosue is full of little tidbits of things from towels being pulled off their racks to someone sitting on the couch, and my other aunt even got pinched.

I'm a believer, this isn't the only tale I have to tell...

i've tried to use an ouija board a couple times in the past, but they've never so much as twitched for me =/
no idea what i had done wrong, or if there is a specific way to get attuned to it or whatever is supposed to happen.
Thank you for your testimonies, and please if you have more, feel free to share =]

I posted these in a different thread a while ago , but i'll put them up here too . These are two of my ouija board encounters .

Twice i,ve had real stuff happen . Once when i was about 17 , me and some friends got out some really old swords that were supposedly haunted . So we decided to contact the haunting entity on the Ouija board . We sat round in my mates bed room , lit a candle and stuff . You can imagine a handful of drunk 17 year olds messing around on the Ouija board . Then there was this really big bang from down stairs . So ( crapping our pants ) we went down stairs , then the door to the room we were doing the Ouija in slammed shut and the landing lights blew and we were in total pitch black . The girls were screaming at this stage , and me and Glen tried to get back into the room , but both us us with all our strength couldn,t force the door open . After we got the lights back on we could see there was glass all over the landing , the light bulbs had exploded .

The second time , i was sat in my front room with my mate , we were doing Ouija boards allot at the time . I think we called an entity she called black eyes . Anyway the lights were flickering all night , we would ask it questions and it would answer through flickering the lights . I can,t remember what we asked it , but it got well pissed off and blew the lights in the whole house . That's the only times i,ve had anything real happen from the Ouija board .

My dad said he messed about with one when he was younger , and it locked him and his friend in the room and blew the lights and they couldn,t get out .


I've got hundreds of encounters with an entity in my journal in the "Entity visitations" section , although i'm not sure they would strictly fit under the heading of ghosts . If your looking for examples of paranormal activity there's some strange things in there , but it might be a bit boring trawling through it all .

I lived in a haunted house for 3 years not far from where I presently reside. The owner's sister was actually murdered on the site and her childhood room stayed at a chilly temperature of 55 degrees in the summer...even with the windows and doors open and attic fan going...100 degrees in the shade right outside the back door where this particular room was located. On what I'd call those "full-moon" nights of major activity...you could see your breath in front of you most times in that room. There were also several other more malevolent spirits in the house...the hallway was always "hot" even in the winter...there was not central heating unit or heaters in the hallway..but it would be horribly hot nonetheless and often times, walking down the hallway, it would feel like someone breathing down your neck at times.

Presently, where I reside..there are more residual haunts here but still have weird things like objects moving or levitating...but knocks, the sounds of horses and booted feet on the porch, cannon fire and the sound of bullets hitting the side of the house....I live in what was at one time a battlefield during the Red River Campaign of the Civil War...;) No sightings...just weirdness and the same familiar sounds of battle.

I don't know if one would consider this a ghost encounter per say, but it is something that happened to me three years ago.

My great-grandparents passed away within two days of each other. Nonna went on Wednesday. Poppa went Friday. My birthday was Sunday. These were the two most important people in my entire life- they raised me and loved me when my own parents wouldn't. I spent my birthday in the funeral home, and buried them that day.

That night, I laid in bed. I was aware of my surroundings for the most part through the night- I don't think I actually slept so much as closed my eyes. I could remember everything from the cat knocking over the trash can outside at 2 AM to the sprinklers coming on at 4 AM.

At around 5 AM, it felt like someone was sitting on the edge of my bed, petting my hair as my Nonna once had. I cried to myself, and asked why she died, why she left me. When I woke up in the morning, her favorite hair bow was lying where I thought someone had sat, along with the locket she never took off.

I thought someone had put them there, until I got up and realized my door was locked, and my dresser was still in front of it from when I had a crying fit and locked everyone else out...

I doubt a 'whole town' is haunted.


I have heard of a group of houses being haunted, like the grounds of a plantation, caused by slavery during the Civil War times. I've heard of houses being haunted because they were built on top of houses that burned, killing all of the people inside. I've heard of groups of places that were haunted because they were built on a sacred ground, such as a graveyard.

I don't know if what I see are ghosts. My friends think so but they may very well be a part of my over active imagination. My therapist says it's because of all the trauma I suffered as a child. *shrugs*

This didn't directly happen to me, but one of my neighbors told me that she had been walking down her hallway one night during a thunderstorm. There was a flash of lightning and she saw this dark gloomy figure standing at the end of the hallway. No one was in the house at the time except her. She saw another flash of lightning but the mysterious figure had vanished. She has encountered this ghost (named "Happy") several other times also.

I was sitting at home with my sister when a flash of white floated past our window effectively scaring the shit out of me and my sister. We had never seen anything like it before.

I do recall as a child I could occasionally see a little hover of white above me. I wasn't scared at the time.

Thank you all for your posts.
If anyone wants to post with what they suspect ghosts are, or were, in the instances they saw them would be marvelous ^__^

While riding my bicycle home from school (WAY BACK IN THE DAY) and a truck was stopped at a stop sign I started to cross the street and then the truck hit me......I saw a white figure in the middle of the road for a flash then nothing I ended in the middle of a small intersection with a severely bruised Knee...Now I say this story because I firmly believe that it was my grandmother who passed 2 days before and she was watching out for me....

I also have a picture from an old cemetary headstone in St. Augustine that has what appears to be a white line directly infront of a head stone (some say that this is over expousre of light infront of the camera lens but I believe different)

well ghost are cool unless they are harming. ghost are spirits that are restless and have an unfinished task. maybe they need to be seen off in more respectful way, or still here to revenge, or to protect someone whom they couldnt protect while they were alive.

In Asia such as Japan, are 70% believers and also have many respectful ways to send off nicely the spirits. many dies in the houses, like mansions, schools, convents, churches, villas, gardens, boarding houses etc....... cats are the very evidence of it cause cats can see and feel the death and spirits. they go and stay where the spirits are and start to or growling, or meowing continuously or scratching. Japanese ghosts mostly posses someone pure and naive and easily exposed soul to communicate with the living and tell them what they want. they did this far more than once and been sent off or else been ignored cause they were scared to death.

If ghosts and ghouls are'nt real.... then how do you explain the chill you get on halloween...?

In my life I have had many experiences with what one may describe as the paranormal, some being good experiences and some being on the darker side. One detail I choose to use as evidence on the topic is the experiences I had when with a group versus the times I was alone. One specific time I recall we were out on a “ghost hunt”. During this trip we obtained a photo that could not be explained showing an image of a man in old western looking clothing hovering by a tree approximately 6 feet off the ground. Needless to say we were never able to explain the photo, nor were any ghost hunting groups I sent the photo to. It was just a very neat photo. Same trip we noted several disturbing messages on our digital recorder, the interesting fact was they were so slow I had to increase their speed by 10 times to actually clearly hear the voices. In all it was a pretty neat experience, that I hope to experience again.

an echo. a memory retained, in the form of an apparition.

there are stories I can tell...

but without PROOF, intrinsic proof, some will choose not to believe. their right, of course... but.. bo these same people also believe in ... God?

Of course the paranormal exists, some are just more open to it then others. It is all around us, and we get proof of it everyday of our lives.


My story begins in Parker, South Dakota. Just a very small close nit town, I doubt you could find it on a map if you tried. My family and I were moving from a different town pretty far away, trying to make a new start I suppose.

I remember when we first came into the small town. It had that creepy feeling to it, all the houses were very old, Victorian style houses, looked as if they were built hundred or so years ago. They loomed over the town, making everything seem so cold. It made me feel as if the town wanted us to turn around, and not come back.

At this time I was about 10 or 11, and pushed the feeling off to be nothing more than a small hesitation of moving into a different town, an unfamiliar place, and being the "new girl" again. Just my nerves, I told myself.

Our new "home" was a big, and very old. the paint, the had once been white was now a putrid yellow, and wore down with age, slowly chipping away. It had and old wooden patio, with stairs that bent in on themselves, very obviously needing replaced. There was a wooden, criss crossing fence that went around the bottom of the patio, as if to keep people out from going underneath it. It had holes in places, were you could crawl into, if you didn't mind getting dirty.

The front door was like the rest of the outside house, worn down. the widow on the front of it was clouded over with dust, and grime. In the little time it took me to get from the car to the front door I had this feeling as if someone where watching me, I could feel the stare of eyes boring into my back, and the hair stood up on the back of my neck, I had chills, though it was in the 70s. I turned and of course, no one was there.

So I just ignored, and didn't think much of it. The inside of the house was not as bad as the outside. The walls had old style wallpaper spread a crossed it, once again yellowing in some spots, or tearing itself away from the wall completely due to age. The floor boards make screeching noises when you walked on them, causing you to flinch ever so slightly. The house I was supposed to call home, for however long, felt eerie. I did not feel like home to me at all.

There was a basement that lead of the kitchen, we found the door was locked, and we had no key to get into it with, so we left it at that. My parents room was located down stairs, along with my eldest sisters room, whom she shared with the baby. My brothers room was upstairs, along with mine and my younger sister's that we shared together.

That night after we had our room set up, and everything unpacked, my sister and I began to talk. It came to no surprise that everything I was feeling, so to was feeling. We both laughed it off, trying to ignore it once again.

I collected porcelain dolls when I was little, so by this time I had quite a few of them. I took them and put them up on a shelf in our room. That night, when it was time for bed and lights went out, I was laying awake in bed, just thinking. Something must have caught my eye, because they drifted over to my dolls up on the shelf. I became mesmerized, just staring, and suddenly one of the dolls heads turned toward me, and was staring at me, through her cold, glass eyes. I jumped out of bed, and turned on the light, and looked more closely at the doll, which was now back in it's normal, stiff position.

It terrified me, but I left it at that, and never told anyone. The next night, I heard the television on down stairs. It was one in the morning, so the T.V being on was a little odd. I thought, maybe someone forgot to turn it off, so I got up and walked down the stairs to turn it off, only to find it not on. Something once again caught my eye, which went to the corner in the dinning room, and there, by the table was a black cat, I thought how strange it was that a cat got into our house. I managed to get it out of the corner and to come toward me, only to find that it had half a body. It was the torso of a cat. i stared at it in horror, it;s eyes turn bright red, and made a sound I have never heard come from any animal or human, and just vanished.

Now by this time I was shaken up, and I couldn't deny what I saw the past two nights anymore, I knew for a fact that this house, that I was supposed to be calling my home, was haunted. By what exactly, I do not know, all I knew then is that whatever was in that house was not friendly, and wanted me and my family out.

This story is pretty long already, so I will end it here. But this was not the only thing that went on in this house. For the next year and a half that my family and I lived in this house, other strange occurrences went on, that both me and the rest of my family experienced. this was not a very pleasant time in my life.

I have had some pretty "ghostly" experiences throughout my life,and have come to the conclusion that when this happens to us,we are catching glimpses of other's lives via the Akashic records..

i have had quite a few paranormal experiences

the most recent one was a few months ago now though. I heard a cough coming from my parents room. The thing is it was a female and i was the only one home. My dad and sister were away and my mom died several years ago. it was not me because i was in my room and heard it from my room coming from my parents room.

O_O

I have had something similar,but as it turned out,it was a meter reader .

strikes me.. that the perceptive may be more open to their presence that those with closed minds...

cool 'story' Casandra.

Neil,have you read much on the Akashic records before? It is actually has a pretty interesting story behind it and shows a lot of promise as far as, perhaps being a the reason why we see or otherwise sense ghosts .The stories pretain to the book of life and can found in almost every religion on the planet.

I saw one yogini and she taught me the supreme involvement required in the meditation. This was the turning point of my life.

i was at a friend of mines"s and her neice got hit in the back of the head with a pop can that cam out of the trash and then i told my friend to duck at the same time a fork and duct tape came flyin at her plus in the past when i was married my husband was a devil worshiper n i saw some starnge stuff!!!

I have been looking for that answer for a very long time. I think that fear had a big part in why some people feel that they have seen or heard a ghost. I have been to a couple of rundown house's and a old woodmill that were said to be haunted by myself and stayed there for several hours waiting. I did not see or hear anything that I could not figure out what it actually was. But, I feel that I just have not found one yet.

So I am a firm believer in spirits and ghosts, but I have to take a look at the other side as well. The mind being an advanced organ that can perceive and create images that seem very real, is it not possible that our minds are creating these types of images due to something in our surroundings that we are not aware of such as electromagnetic fields. It has been said these can make you see things. I know in my field almost everyone who spends the night at a power substation will start seeing things after a couple hours of being there and exposed to the electromagnetic fields. Is it possible that these ghosts and spirits we are seeing are actually created by our minds? How do we overcome this and show more proof that it is not a hallucination we are experiencing? To prove a theory we need more evidence than just visual encounters due the variables involved.

they say ghosts can show up in photos, so take snaps of houses reported to be haunted.
i once saw a picture of 5 or 6 women and at their feet was a face of a child or something that wasn't there when the pic was taken.

I am convinced that in my life there have been several times when I have been visited by apparitions that were invisible to others but which to me were fully real. Or the other way around invisible to me but fully real and visible to others. Ghosts can be so real that in fact one would not even realise that the person [apparition] is a ghost.

My belief is that reality is actually nothing more than a very sophistcated dream. Thus a construct in the mind. I came the this conclusion after reading THE HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE by MICHAEL TALBOT. Amazon are still providing copies if anyone is interested.

I envy those who have experiences with ghosts and communications using the Ouija Board. I have no such experiences. My doctor says that I am a schizophrenic. Thus my audio hallucinations and occassionally a visual hallucination. This February I decided to experiment to see what would happen if I stopped taking my usual prescription medication SEROQUEL. After two days of not taking the medication [thus getting no sleep] I suddenly began seeing "stars" or what some call "orbs" floating about. Thus progressed to the point that I began seeing patterns in my field of vision. But once this was getting to be a bit over powering suddenly the patterns became attached to the ceiling and walls such that it was like as if my humble flat was decorated with incredable art work. This lasted into the night. Then the stars began dancing around me and it was like I was looking at an open night sky. Like the Milkyway Galaxy. The flat simply was invisible to me. Eventually I got tired of this "crap" going on and simply took my medication and slept. Next day I was back to normal.

The hallucinogenic voices are always with me but are they ghosts ?

Several years ago I experienced two ghost in my bedroom at night. On the first occassion I was asleep at night when I was woken up by the presence of small goblin like entities touching my feet. As I awoke I saw a young fair skin lady with golden curly hair wearing an elizabethian style golden silk dress saying to the entities "No. No. Must not touch. You will wake him". She and the little creatures then moved back into the wall and the darkness. On the second occassion I was laying in bed at night sleeping when I woke up laying on my back with my right hand lifted up. I saw a fair skin lady with black hair in black edwardian style dress sitting beside my bed on my right side. Her right hand palm to palm with mine. She was speaking some complicted old style roman latin incantation which I could not understand. I listened and looked in amasement. As soon as she realised that I was awake the apparition immediately disappeared. During these two apparition I felt no fear whatsoever. I am completely unable to fathom who they are. Ghosts of previous inhabitat ? Or something to do with me as a person ? One omminous thing is that I sense that these feminine entities around me are jealous if any girl comes into my life. They make it such that I am a bachelor. Is this a form of spirit possession ? Are these two spirit possessing me ? Thinking to protect me ?

The hallucinogenic voices that talk to me [especially when I lay down] are often pretending to be some one in the physical environment. However, I have come to realise that they are no such thing. It is a kind of game that they a playing with me.

Visit my portfolio and profile for further information. If any one here lives in Norfolk in England UK perhaps we aught to meet. We could do some ghost hunting together. I live at the centre of Norwich.

One more thing. I recently obtainned a audio recording device. One of these new digital type with a built in microphone. This one is better than the usual in that instead of recording a MP3 like the cheap dictation recorders. This on is music industry and gives me a WAV file. Hundreds of times better for analysis. I did my first EVP experiment right here at my studio desk. Just a couple of minutes. I recorded a feminine wispering EVP saying "a burner". Which I interpret to be reference to my recording device. Then its male companion saying "Hello". It then sniggered as if saying "Hello" was a kind of joke to him. Since then I am going to use the device to see if I can get more EVP in due course. Nearby is a Quaker Graveyard, but it is so damned spooky that I am petrafied to go there alone.

AVE RAEGINA CAELINA LA DEUS NOSTRA CAELI LA VERA DEUS

i have heard of the picture thing as well. but i also heard of them showing up on some videos as well. ghosts are typical said to reduce the temperature. dogs and cats may sense something as well.

I believe that spirits do exists and that hauntings are very real,the movie the exorcism was based on a true story,of course in the movie they added a lot that was not real

Enviromental causes such as infrasound and electromagnetics are important to consider.
While we as humans are unable to hear infrasound in most cases, infrasound does has an affect on us. Sad to say ,but they can be adverse. One of its most notable effects is to cause fear and anxiety, as well as hallucinations . It has been suggested by some researchers to be a cause of paranormal experiences. There are a few scientific papers on infrasound and how it relates to ghostly encounters.

In the simplest terms, I believe ghosts exist.

I've seen a lot of evidence and have done some research. I live in a very notoriously "haunted" city, and have never seen anything though I have never gone ghost hunting. However, I've seen too many pictures, videos, sound clips, etc. to be able to deny it. There's too much consistency in each form of evidence, they sound similar, have a similar quality in the way they look, etc.

I know some of my most trusted friends have had paranormal experiences and I believe them.

As a kid me and my brother stayed up one nite and during the early morning we saw a figure of a girl come from our parents room and walk towards another room. We thought it was our little sister so we rushed up the corridore to grab her as our uncle was sleeping in the other bedroom. When we got there ther was no sign of the girl in the bedroom. All the windows and doors were locked. The girl could not of gone back to our parents room as we had sight of the bedroom door at all times.

We looked into our parents room and our little sister was still fast asleep between our mum and dad. When we saw the figure the first time the hair on my head stood up.

We use to stack dishes we wiped up after washing them on our bench. These dishes sometimes would fall off the bench when no one was around, even though they where placed near the wall so they wouldnt be close to the bench edge.

Great account RoadWarrior.
Key words in that story? You just got done" washing them."

When a wet glass is placed on a smooth, wet surface, a ring of water will make a seal around the bottom edge of the glass or plate. Any air that is under the glass bottom gets compressed by the weight of the object. Sometimes, this minute volume of pressurized air is able to support the weight of the glass.
The glass will move across a surface with almost no friction at all,so it looks pretty ghostly. I have seen them look as though they were getting flung from the shelf.
With a container such as plates, any tiny bit of water that might remain can not escape when you stack and temporarily supports the plate on a squeeze film of water alone.
Anyway,those are a couple things that I found when investigating this type of ghost phenomenon.

Pictures do show up some most interesting images. I have a few myself that I have managed to gather over the years on outings. I personally believe that the explanation around room temperature dropping is simple. Ghosts seem to cast an electromagnetic field. This would mean they are a form of electrical energy. Perhaps all that is happening when the room temperature drops is that the energy in the room is being pulled away or to them. Heat is a form of simple energy after all, remove the energy and remove the heat causing an instant drop in temperature.

I actually work in a haunted building. Before it was converted to a business it was a hotel. The whole reason it was shut down was because there were many women killed there. At night around 12 when it just us employees we hear the sound of heels clicking across the floors, doors slam, and toilets flush.

Also the owner & his son both died in the same room at the same desk doing the taxes. We assume its one of them sometimes too since some employees get little warning tugs & such if we do something wrong.

The restaurant is also haunted & i frequently have to stay with our accounting student so she can count out the money. The beings there tend to find her particularly fun to harass, it may be because she is very superstitious. But the shadows rushing across the lights scare the poor dear to death.

It's been happening since I was a little kid. I'll set something somewhere and I won't even leave the room, when I turn back to the object it's on the other side of the room. I was sitting on my bed with my boyfriend a couple years ago and pointed to a little blue stuffed bear propped up on my pillows and told him "Watch it, it likes to move around." He looked at me, completely serious and grabbed to bear and set it next to him. I laughed when he told it to "Stay."

We talked for not even five minutes and I looked down at where the bear was supposed to be and it was gone. I pointed, giggling (it wasn't a surprise to me anymore) and when he looked, the bear was on the complete opposite side of the bed, almost falling off. I laughed even harder when he jumped up and started asking what the hell was going on.

And another time: My boyfriend and I were about to go to sleep and I told him to close the bathroom door "She doesn't like it when you leave the door open" (I'm completely used to stuff like this now). He looked at me confused and looked back at the dark bathroom with the door wide open.
Not even thirty seconds later, his toothbrush that he'd just put in there, came flying out and hit him in the face.

I have more stories. Most funny, some not.

It has been proven that Ghosts are real. Despite that, there are still (and probably always will be) skeptics in the world.

I have encountered things happening most of my life. One of the most recent was happened a few months ago.



I was coming out of my room for some reason and heard someone sneeze. At first I thought it was my younger sister. Then I realized that she wasn't home. So i went and checked to see if dad was home to see if he heard what I had. He wasn't home either. Turns out I was the only one home besides the cat and I had heard my first disemboded voice. well sneeze anyway.

We were moving out of our house which was very old and as my daughter was packing her room she told me that Jean the lady who visits her is not going to come and she said goodbye, she said she likes this house too much to move with us. My daughter was 6 at the time and needless to say i was shocked but not surprised she had been visited by what i believe to be a ghost.
She has since had other visits from relatives one being my grandmother who died before she was born but she was able to tell me things in detail what she was like and how she looked. :)

My only encounter with a "ghost" happened when I was 9 yrs old. Me and my mom were living with her boyfriend at this old ladys house named Dolores. she was an irony old lady with a mean mouth. she didnt have a kind word for anybody. We needed a place to stay and she was old she needed someone to care for her. so we did. It was a big house, with many rooms. when we first moved in I wanted to pick which room i could stay in. Will finally i picked a room that was like an add on to the house it had a window in the wall where you can see into the next room. Will I watched tv that first night and fell asleep. I woke up, for reasons unkown to me. Even to this day. I adjusted my eyes to the darkness and I looked into the window. There, I saw a man in a brown Suit with a fedora hat and I saw a beautiful woman in a red dress. One moent they were there and next they werent. Will i went back to sleep. Later that morning I asked Dolores where the man and woman were who stayed in the room right next to mine. She got this look in her eyes and she asked what I was talking about I told her what i saw. I Described the man and woman to her. All she told me was that I didnt have to worry about them. they come and go. Well yrs later I come to find out. Dolores found her husband with another woman and she killed them in that very room. I still get chills remembering it. It was like just a flashback I was seeing.

Paranormal just means science can't explain it yet. It doesn't mean fictional by definition.

Time and time again this has come up in the forum. Time and time again I've replied that no matter what there are going to be people that believe and those that will disbelieve. No matter what evidence you may have it's too easy to debunk it with all the technology that we have in our hands. Unless you have witnesses even that is debunk able cuz you can't really prove that they saw anything.

They end up being stories. Until someone comes up with irrefutable evidence you should believe what you already do.

Me and my wife were sat in my nan and grandads living room, my grandad was out in the garage. My nan got up from the chair, looked at us both and said, "I'd better put the dinner on"

thing is, she died several months before

Friend of mine was playing with a ouija board and all kinds of hell broke loose. Turns out there was a former renter there who used ouija boards and was murdered.

In ALL honesty,can anyone here say they have seen that pointer move when no one had their hands on it?

Friend of mine had a house where granpa died in the bed. The young couple who rented the house had bad episodes in the bed all the time. They were advised to remove the antique bed and that hgelped

I personally have had a few experiences and fully believe they exist for the simple fact the things i experienced were unexplained. It seems its always hard to believe someone else unless you have experienced it your self. People look at you like your nuts, so I only tell people I know believe, and even then I am cautious.

My ex BF lived in a house where a man hung himself, I didn't know it at the time. He told me after I told him things that happened to me. First I was laying in the bed while he was at work and I could feel the bed shaking( not exorcist shaking) but a vibrating like someone was at the end pushing on it repeatedly fast. I was very still. Trying to figure if I was losing my mind.

Second thing which is way way more obvious I was sitting on the couch talking on the phone with a friend he was at work still. I happened to just lean a bit to my right and as I did the fan flew over my head and over the coffee table to the floor. I know at this distance it was impossible for it to make it that far by some freak accident because between the wide window sill and the couch and the coffee table we are talking about 6 to 7 feet and it didn't touch the coffee table it landed on the other side, This really scared me. If it fell by accident it would of landed on the couch or in between the couch and coffee table, not the other side. The trajectory was just not possible. He then tells me about the guy and the experiences they had. They heard footsteps when no one was home went upstairs and saw wet footprints. The basement where they rented was the guys workshop, the family of the guy lived upstairs, his wife and kids. He hung himself in their bedroom closet from depression.

A funny story they told me about was later on when his wife started dating again. She had a guy spend the night. The next morning they couldn't find his pants anywhere. They thought one of the kids did it, but they claim it wasn't them. Know one ever found them. Guess he was Jealous about another man with his wife.

I have heard the howls and seen the red eyes of the hounds of hell at a different place, but thats a long story and yes hard to believe. It's hard to talk about having people not believe.

The night my dad passed away I was 7 years old and lying down in my aunts living room with my mom. Everyone had gone to bed and the lights were off. My mom and I were still crying and talking about him. Then suddenly the lamp started to glow very very slowly on till it was very bright then it very slowly faded back off. I feel that was him telling us he was there and watching over us. I will never forget that.

Oceanna I can't say that I had. We have an antique property, going back to the ERa of the Salem Witch trials, and no-one will be inside except on Xmas day. We had a house minder and after two days she packed up and fled the house.

The local vicar would not bless the house. Researching the history, we discovered that several young women, accused of compacting in Satanic rituals hanged themselves instead of facing trial and torture.

I liked what AperatureStar wrote with a definition of the Paranornal.. thing is, it is unexp-lained. IF there was proof Cabrion, it would then be a legitimized, 'measurable' science.

as it is... there are many... myself included, who look for 'evidence'. something... anything, to understand.

I have shared quite a few stories around the site before.

But just last night, we had a few occurrences.

The stove suddenly started buzzing for no reason, then stopped instantly. This happened half a dozen times. As soon as the last bizz ended, the back of my knee had me crippling over with a sharp pain.

if someones mind is closed, then a ghost could just walk up and kick them in the naughty bits, and still they wouldnt believe it.

the house i lived in several years ago had some stuff going on...stuff sometimes witnessed by outsiders (the cable guy for instance) but i have no hard evidence. that doesnt mean i think you cant find good evidence...but i dont have any.
~W~

I know we all have had really weird stories to share about our ghostly encounters but I am going to bring up something that I have been harping on for 4 years on this site as far as ghosts and "precog " feelings some of us get before earthquakes .

And that is,once again...

Sound.

Infrasound.
Ultrasound.
I know you guys are rolling your eyes,thinking Im full of it.None the less...
It is proven that certain frequencies of infrasound cause a lot of uncomfortable sensations in our bodies.Interestingly enough,most of those sensations happen to match all sensations of those who experience ghostly encounters.
At frequencies btetween 18 and 20 hertz, we begin to experience,anxiousness,depression,like someone is watching or near us..a closed in feeling...tingly sensations,hair standing on end,thermal changes..in the air as well as on areas of our bodies/skin,It also causes hallucinations and finally it can incite fear.
Furthermore,cerrtain buildings end up acting as resonators of the infrasound and in the end ,can magnify it.
My honest opinion is that infrasound would account for most ghost stories and earthquake precog experiences.
Electromagnetics causing others.

For the record,that isnt saying that it accounts for every ghost encounter.There are several other culprets..mental illness,over active imaginations,attention seeking behaviours.



Electromagnetics plays its role, as I mentioned above,in that leaks from transformers and such can cause the same set of symptoms ,making it seem like ghostly encounters.
On the other hand,

I do believe that torsion fields could account for a percent also,due to ability of those fields to act as a memory storage of sorts. If our minds are in the right place,(frequency) we get glimpses of the past.

So yeah,

There is a lot more to ghosts encounters than...ghosts.

I've been ghost hunting before, quite a few times. & now me & my pack are acually trying to design our own ghost hunting team.

But we are still inexpierenced. Anybody have any advice for beginners. Hunting wise? We know all the fundimentles about spirits & demons & such. But what about the acual use in technology & such?

I would suggest learning all you can about geo and electromagnetics.
Happy hunting!

Thank you so much! The electronics are not my strong suit when it comes to hunting ^^;

Well the people that examined our ancestral family estate were using electronics and found definite abnormalities, and one of the investigators felt a presence touching and rubbing her face and clothing

Which is a common symptom of electromagnetic and infrasound exposure.

Where is the closest water source to the house Mel?

Well if I remember 3-6 miles east actually. There used to be a well but it';s not worked in over 100 years. The water to the house minders is from the city/county source

KK,and what about the rock strata there?also,is there a root cellar?The old well..is it located anywhere near the house?

Root cellar? Yes there was but it was originally used to question people accused of witchcraft, so you can only imagine what happened in there.

There are just so many things that we don't understand. & so many people immidiatly assume it's evil or daRK BECAUSE THEY FEAR WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW

On the other hand,there are plenty of things that we DO understand.And because of this,we are understanding more and more the possible nature of these things .

It isnt like the old days either,when people feared everything they didnt understand.So isnt time we get rid of that old excuse ?

Lord, where to start? I have had many paranormal experriences and many of them were shared with others who were present.

I was staying temporarily at my sister -in-laws home. Their home was on a large lot of land, surrounded by a fence and they had 3 dogs that barked at EVERYTHING. I was in the living room on the pull-out couch next to the window (right by were the dogs slept) when a voice said "what are you doing here?" when I told my sister-in0-law about the man's voice she laughed and saidit was her grandfather.

In my current home there is a lady in a long grey bustled dress who loves to walk through the kitchen and pet my one cat, Ra. He reacts to her by arching his back under her hand and mewling at her. My children and friends who have stayed the night have seen her.

In a previous home, my son's uncle was visiting and I warned him that the house was haunted. HE laughed and said " I don't believe in that shit!" immediately the
doors of the entertainment center started banging open and shut and the overhead fan turned on.

Same house - our upstairs bathroom door would swing shut becausethe house was old and the floor leaned funny. I am doing laundry and hear my then boyfriend go outside. I go upstairs to the bathroom and see a shadow move across the bottom of the door. I figured the cat got stuck in the bathroom. When I go to open the door, it pushes back against me so I thought Larry had stepped outside to grab the mail and had gone up to the bathroom and I said "Oh, I'm sorry". Just then Larry walks in the door and asks me who I am talking to - nobody was in the bathroom (not even the cat)

From being a paranormal investigator for four years professionally. My team in Wisconsin has caught interesting stuff we have souls so yes I guess ghosts are real.

In my ancestral family home the incidents have been peaceful once we convinced the spirits that they were welcomed

In my theory of spirit boards works in places that are haunted locations. I just think ghosts are dead folks with knowledge able in history.

I don’t know if we can lump it all together like this.
I think there are thought forms I also think there are ghost ..
I also think there are angels and demons and gods.
Philip the ghost a rather interesting event, a ghost was created that never was and it acted out. The actual experiment took place in Toronto, Canada, in 1972, under the direction of the world-renown expert on poltergeists, Dr A. R. G. Owen.
I use a form of this to do my bidding, there called servitors to some demons to others.. yet they manifest and do what I need them too.

Not everything that goes bump is a ghost .. it’s also not always something you understand yet.

Well when I was living in my last apartment, while unpacking the first day we moved in, I heard a woman's cough coming from my roommate J's room (we'll call her J because it'll get confusing since I had three girl roommates--they'll be called J, L, and N for short). I turned my music down and looked down the hall to see no one there and looked back to J's cat in the room with me thinking 'what the hell?'. I thought maybe L was in her room laying down though and texted J to ask if L was laying down (since N was out with a friend/future boyfriend getting her cat that he found for her for her birthday). J texted me back that L was with her and they were out and about. I told her what I'd heard and she was confused but curious. Later on that week we had N's mother come and do an EVP in J's room/bathroom (she had the master room so she had the extra bathroom). N's mother got a woman's voice in the bathroom saying 'don't go'. Now J, L, and N were actually scared (as N grew up in a haunted house with dead relatives visiting; J usually never scared of the dark was actually scared because the woman's spirit stayed in her room; and L tried to say she didn't believe in all that but had her room's door slammed in her face and also saw a black shadow once move out of the corner of her eye). I never was. I think it had to do with me speaking outwardly towards the woman's spirit acknowledging she was there and that I asked that she bring me no harm in exchange for my respect of her being there. I always felt safe in that apartment (despite not being in a particularly good neighborhood) while the others hated to be alone in the place--especially at night.
The woman's spirit would constantly flip the lights on in J's bathroom, open the medicine cabinet door, and leave finger trail marks down the mirror whenever J took a shower. She also set off the smoke alarm twice in J's room and J took the battery out of it so it wouldn't be set off again. And her room was always like ten degrees cooler than the rest of the apartment. Also, the woman's spirit would scare the hell out of J's cat, N's cat, and L's little toy rat terrier dog from going into J's room (unless I seemed to accompany them in there). Only when I brought in a stray cat, did my cat dare to go in there, with or without me. Even the kittens would go in there with or without me after the stray cat had them. But the other animals would not dare go in there. I believe the woman's spirit also scared my roommate's because, quite frankly, they disrespected me and she saw that and didn't like it so she'd kind of scare them. All because I gave her respect.
Also, N's boyfriend saw the woman's spirit one night while N was in taking a shower in the main bathroom and he had to go to the bathroom. He decided he'd go down to J's room and use hers despite knowing J didn't like him in her room (as she was at work). I was on the couch since I was talking to him beforehand while watching TV. He came back a moment after he went down to her room and said he'd seen her and described her to me: shaggy brown hair just past shoulder length, looking about late 20's, and a white sundress. Also she was glaring at him as if to dare him to come into the bathroom (as she was standing in the doorway to it--I don't think she liked him too well). He hadn't known about it being a woman's spirit--though we had told him someone was there.
When I moved to my new apartment (with my previous roommate J), I felt like I was always being watched (especially in the bathroom when taking a shower). When my best friend came over one night and we were talking in the living room, she turned and looked at the dining area and gave a nod before looking back at me. I was like 'huh?' and she said I had a woman's spirit over there (who was looking startled that she'd been seen by my best friend). She described the woman to me: shaggy brown hair just past shoulder length, late 20's, white sundress--exact description of what N's boyfriend had told me a year before. Now my friend and N's boyfriend has never, ever met and I have never, ever told my friend about what the woman looked like other than at the previous place we had a woman's spirit. That right there proved to me that Mi'Lady (the name I gave the spirit woman out of respect) was indeed there with me. I believe she followed me because I respected her at the last place and kind of liked that and followed me here. I'm happy because I feel pretty safe here (despite again being in a not so nice neighborhood of Frat Village off the college campus here). She still keeps J's cat from going into her room (he's still scared like a baby) yet my cat can go in there with no problem (I think she does that on purpose because J doesn't give her cat any love and affection like I do to him and my cat).
Either way, I'm glad that Mi'Lady is with me and watches over me and hope she'll follow me to my next apartment.

Not sure if it'll be "convincing" to anybody, not that it matters because i've been convinced plenty in my life time and not about to have someone turn my experiences into anything less here.
Anyway, i think there's a difference between spirits and ghosts. For me, yes i believe in an afterlife and spirits because they can communicate to us in different ways.

I met this one person and we had been talking for about a month and he told me about his mother passing away, how he prayed for an angel to come and be there for him during his time of need. Well, it was within this month that i had a dream about a house, seeing a mother and grandmother that was deceased and let's just say it was a very detailed dream of 2 people and a place that i had never seen before in my life however, i knew the dream was connected to said friend. I asked him if he lived in a this house i dreamt of and he said no. He stopped talking, thought about it, and then replied, "Omg, you are describing a place that i grew up in as a child in New Jersey." He lives in Florida today. I described the 2 women that i saw smiling at me, and he said that it was dead on everything I was talking about with him and that after our conversation, it made him feel better and believes that it was a message given to me, to relay back to HIM, to let him know, they were fine.

That is just one moment of the many i've experienced and those kinds of moments are enough to convince me.

We have an ancestral home from the 1690's that was used in the witch trials. The large cellar was used to interrogate people. 3 young women committed suicide rather than be questioned. We restored the house but none of the house minders we hired stayed more than a week.
