Quite a few close minded folk in this thread, which is a shame.

We had a ghost in our previous house, to, wasn't very frequent, but things happened which just couldn't be explained rationally.

Couple of examples that spring to mind include

1) The front of the house had 4 windows, 3 were sash
On three occasions all three windows would forcibly bang back and forth, as if someone was grabbing the window and pushing/pulling repeatedly, this usually went on for about 10 seconds or so, then it wouldn't happen again for several months.

2) We had a large wrought (sp) iron gate on the side of the house, which if left open, would suddenly slam, very forcefully, as if someone had either slammed it, or something had crashed into it.
And we know it wasn't the wind, because the gate never budged in windy conditions
We ended up adding a padlock to the gate to stop it, because it used to this this quite frequently and it was loud enough to wake us and the neighbours up, hehe.

Another instance which I remember very vividly, was my mother and I were in the kitchen, standing with our backs to each other, I was washing up, she was cooking on the stove, something brushed against both of us at the same time, enough that it pushed us forward
We both thought it was each other, but it wasn't.
Was a little creepy. :P

Didn't help that there was a message scrawled on the wall under the stairs, which said "You lock me up, you are a bad master", either. :P

Re: Ghosts
 
Many years ago John and I were visiting a Country House, we were making our way along a corridor into the display room, across from the door where we entered the room was a door which led into the garden.

A woman entered the room from the garden and walked diagonally across the room in front of us and I assumed that, as I couldn't see her when I entered the room, she had gone out of a door hidden from my view by some display cabinets. We started looking at the exhibits and worked our way to where she had gone but there was no doorway only a blank wall. I was a bit rattled about where she had gone and turned to look around the room. John and I were the only occupants and when I double checked that she hadn't just gone back out of the garden door I saw that it was in fact a window and that it was closed. I was about to say something to John when he commented that he though he must have been seeing things as he was sure that a woman had been in the room with us and yet there was no exit from the room that she could have used without us seeing it.

Later when we were walking in the garden we noticed we were on a path that went in front of the exhibition room and spookily when we looked at the window we noticed that the stonework had been altered and that it had originally been a doorway.

I still can't say I believe in a lot of the paranormal things that I have seen in some TV programs but I am willing to believe that there are some things that happen that can't be simply explained away.

just because something cannot be explained immediately does not make it paranormal, wizardry or a parallel universe. just take a step back and think about what you are saying here... ghosts? we live on a tiny rock, spinning it's way through space around a huge ball of fire. life is just a chain of chemical reactions and tiny electric signals in patterns. there are no ghosts. when those signals cease to be, that is it. dead. done. why would a 'spirit' hang about?

as for Ouija Boards - well, they are just board games. there is nothing sinister about them. they do not contact the dead. the game was desinged for groups of friends to play. Parker games still holds the patent on it if i remember correctly. i think that says it all - it's just a board game. you can blame 'The Exorcist' for any link to ghosts. so a movie is dictating your feelings on a board game being attributed to the 'spirit' world.

fear ye not - you have no ghosts. the mind is a powerful thing. unlike spooky spectres! :)

Actually, to be fair, I do believe in ghosts - in as much as I believe there are many things in this world that we can't explain - and ghostly happenings fall into those categories - but I think it's also very easy to put things down to 'ghosts' rather than trying to find a rational explanation... cats staring at walls and dogs suddenly jumping up fall into the easily explained category.

You could say if we believe in ghosts then perhaps we should believe in life after death.

trust me, im the last person to believe in ghosts, i love science and im always watching documentries

if you had witnessed what i have, then you wouldnt say this :)

oh by the way, i did ring up someone to come investigate this problem, basically because i want to capture some evidence of it, so i a few weeks i should be able to post the results of there findings.

As for a ghost touching your dogs rear end, how exactly do you know this? Can you speak dog?

Am sure its nothing really.


lol, ok well you had to be here to see it.

basically my dog is a lab, she isnt small, and it takes her a while to get up from lying down to alert.

weve watched her and when this has happened something freaked her out enough for her to get up from sleeping to alert

as i said, this is just one instance.

You'll probably get an assessment to start with, they'll get plenty of bad vibes and funny noises / reading from their 'Spectrometers', then they'll say it's really bad, and I mean Amityville bad. And your lives with depend on taking the deluxe ghost cleansing package that involves a few day's or weeks work at least, then followed on by a monthly package where they'll do a remote seance on your behalf to make sure your house is clean.
