Do You Believe in Ghosts?

[Gonzo]

I do... anybody had any experiences? He's mine... My Grandmother, who raised me... we were very close.. Died on Jan. 26th 2005. She went into intensive care on Christmas Eve, She made me go home to be with my babies on Christmas. The day she died my Mom and stepdad were susposed to call me to the hospital to say goodbye, they didn't! Mom was always jealous of the relationship I had with the Grandparents. Not my fault she was a hippie and gave me up to them! Anyway, before I got the phone call that she had passed on... I was standing in my dining room, and this strong sense of calm, and the intense smell of her hospital room overtook me in a way i can only describe. I knew right then and there it was her, saying goodbye. Then the phone rang... I already knew...
I was and still am devastated by the loss. I was unconsolible in the days to follow. I was leaving my house to go somewhere, and I was upset. My 4 yr old son Kameron said to me out of the blue "Grandma said please don't cry! You're making her sad!" Theres no way my kid at the age of 4 could have come up with that on his own... So this is my story, and why I believe... Its comforting to know she's still around...

Anybody else gotta story?

I don't believe in ghosts. I believe in messengers, spirits, whatever you want to call it but ghost just sounds.....cheesy. I've had experiences, but nothing I want to share with the whole internet

I believe in the possibilities and my own experiences. Beyond that...I think there is a lot of bull floating around that makes it impossible for some to even open up to the idea. Sooooooo, yes I believe and yes I think some folks are just full of crap and ruin the chances of any REAL studies on the subject. Including but not limited to certain TV shows.....it's not entertainment when it REALLY happens to you. Hollywood ruins everything

I certainly believe in ghosts, spirits, messengers or whatever you want to call them. I have had experiences since I can remember.

I believe in ghost because of my own personal experiences. But I know what you mean. You can only count your own experiences with ghosts because you don't know if another person is lying, under the influence of something or just plain mistaken.

Yes, I hold out the possibility that what we call ghosts might be something else entirely.

I lived in house that was haunted. Yes, it sounds cheesy but it was true. We could not afford to move out and besides, it didn't seem harmful. At the time, I did not believe in ghosts so I went out of my way to disprove what I was experiencing.

Just one of many experiences in that house....My dog, Buster, would be let out every evening. We were in the country and the farmer behind us did not mind our dog playing with his hounds. When he wanted in, Buster would scratch at our big picture window. One night, I heard him scratch at the window. The house was very old and only had one door to the outside.

I walked to the door and was surprised not to see him waiting for me. Usually he ran around to the front door when he saw me head to let him in. So I began to call him. I was getting more and more annoyed that he was not coming.

Then I heard little steps behind me. Standing well within the house, was Buster. He had not been outside.

That happened so often that I had to look out the window before I went to the front door.

So determined was I that there was a logical explanation, that I went outside and pushed our bushes as far to the house as I could, just to see if they were causing the scratching noise. No such luck. The branches wouldn't reach our window.

The house/land I grew up in/on and where my parents still live is very strange.
In the house when you were alone you would always hear "someone" else moving around. And whatever floor or room YOU were on, it was somewhere else. Well, usually...

The house I live in right now, someone died in the downstairs bedroom. We have all had our share of experiences here too.

My Grandpa died in the room I'm in now, but I don't feel scared, or anything for that matter... I even sleep in here sometimes. My moms house is creepy! Its an old victorian home, Kinda reminds me of the house from the 80's horror film The Changling... You could hear things being moved around and stuff. I always figured mom was full of it because with her, if it was an inch it was a mile! Until I was there alone one day. Broad Daylight! And I had the Bejesus scared out of me! I waited for her to get back out in my car!

My aunt and my uncle (not by marriage, they are siblings) tells this story every once in a while. My great grandmother was dying, but they figured it would be several weeks before she died. It was in the middle of the night and my great grandmother died suddenly, when they weren't expecting it. My uncle was at the hospital, and within thirty seconds his sister called. She said" I had a dream, and Grandma was sitting at my bed.

Another weird story, My Grandfather's Mom died when he was five years old. The day before he died , he said that it was very bright , and asked if someone had turned on a light. He started saying "Momma" "Momma" Momma". He fell asleep, and died the next day.

Another thing that is creepy is that I was reading a thread about Grandparents when he died.

I lived in a bunch of old houses that had some crazy things going on. We saw things that others would think we are crazy, so we usually don't talk about them. I've also had late relatives visit in one form or another. My father has an explanation, and maybe he's right. My daughter has had things occur to her also. So who knows.

So, do I believe in ghosts? In a way, I do. Some of the things we saw, I don't think were necessarily ghosts. I've also had an incident happen no matter where I lived. A bird always flies in my house. Every house, same type of bird. Some have told me it's an omen, but I don't think it is. It's never had the impression it was a bad thing. I think it's something else entirely. What, I'm not sure, but an omen it isn't.
