They're in your mind, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
It could be that someone's psychic energies are absorbed into their surroundings, like a building, and when someone who's sensitive to it comes along, they're able to pick it up.

I see one on a regular basis when looking in the mirror in the morning.

YES, I have seen " things " that I can't explain and put it down to ghosts, all be it a vague description of something I belive is much bigger, but the answer is still YES

I personally believe there is more to life than we know about. I have had a few experiences of "Hauntings" myself. I put the word "Hauntings" in quotes, as the times I have seen/heard the ghosts have been times when I was tired, so possibly more open to suggestion than I normally would be.

Although, there is one thing that disturbed me. I was lying awake in my room one night, and was sure I heard a woman's voice I didn't recognise call my name. What unnerved me is that my parents and my sister were away for the weekend, so there was no humans in the house (apart from me of course), and all the electrical equipment (tvs, radios etc had been switched off). However, as I said, I was tired, so it could be that.

Great thread Lesleyann :)

You allready know about this but the members dont ! This is a true story 100% btw

A good freind of my mums moved back to Lincoln a few years ago and bought a new house on a big plot of wastland... All was well until about 3 months after they had moved in and settled bown. My mums friend sue had a little boy called jay that had just turned 4.

Every night when she went to bed she could hear him talking in his room. She just thought that he was talking to his self so she ingonred it. She decided to listen to what he was saying one night and it sounded like he was having a proper conversation all be it one sided.... This went on for over 6 months. When she was down to visit last she was talking to my mum about it.

So my mum asked jay - " Who do you talk to at night when you go to bed ? " Jay replies - " I was talking to the woman with the broken face " !!!!!!

This talking stopped a few months later and no more was thought about it. A few months ago Sue decided to get planning permision for an extension so she got the land records ect..........

Turns out that before the land was cleared it was a mental asilum and the place where the house stood was where a very big old staircase was..... Aparently a frail female patient fell down the stairs and cracked open her skull a year or two before the place was closed......

Spooky :eek:

Yes, and not just when it comes to plumbing ;)

An acupunturist friend of mine has suggested I do an ITEC qualification in massage as apparently I have a natural talent :naughty:

the banging and clattering bb31 was going on about is just air in the pipes :rolleyes: but she's convinced herself it's a ghost

my nephew has a "friend" who he talks to, goes by the name of "George Black" :erm: my sister was more bothered when he said that George had got in bed with her one night :Yikes: and she wonders why i'm reluctant to babysit

I think 'Ghosts' are temporal incursions.

Re: do ghosts exist ?
 
There's no reason why not - let's face it, all the energy (or lack of it, in my case :) ) has got to go somewhere.

I've never seen anything to prove that they do - mind you, I swear I used to share a house with a banshee :eek: ! The screaming coming from the bathroom every morning was terrible :pp

Re: do ghosts exist ?
 
i'm convinced there must be something, apparently when i came out of hospital one time when i was a baby there was a ghost that checked me over and told my gran that i would be fine, i dont think iv seen a ghost but i dont believe that they dont exist - i just wish my mum would visit me if shes about

smegs 24-02-2004 17:44

Re: do ghosts exist ?
 
I've never seen a ghost but i do believe that something does exist, i know people who have seen something which is unexplainable, my mums friend had an experience were the ghost made hert write ( i can't remember what thats called ) and it told her word for word were she would find a secret room in her house and she did find it :eek:

You mean automatic writting?

I've witnessed a few things that I would say were ghosts, one definately, couldnt find any other way to describe a transparentish figure one evening that was witnessed by 3 people. *Shrug*. Yeah I'd say it was a spirit.

I'd imagine we see ghosts everyday, its whether or not you identify them as ghosts that makes the difference. Imagine walking down the road, that person walking in front of you may be a ghost.

Theres more to hauntings than manifestations, noises, temperature drops, weird electrical activity.

The house I am in atm is haunted by my partners grandparents, they hang out on the landing, quite often I'll turn the light on my partner will turn it off I'll try and turn it on but it wont come on, then she tries and it works, so I'll have another go and it wont work. Weird huh?

And for the record I believe in spirits, hauntings and the occult. I believe in Evil, and I believe there are htings we shouldnt mess with, one of them being a ouija board. VERY DANGEROUS.

You ever seen the Nestle tower in Croydon. 15 storey (I think, possibly 20) building with (until about 10 years ago) a very insecure railing around the roof. People used to regularly commit suicide by jumping from it. They used to jump, and crash into the roof of the reception & Blue Orchid night club (which extends out from the base of the tower).

Anyway, apparently, according to an Evening Standard article I read a few months back, that is one of the most haunted buildings in the South East and possibly England.

I know, I know :notopic:

The surgery I used to work in was built over an old graveyard and was haunted for sure. We would hear footsteps and talking when we knew there was no-one else in the building. My friend refused to be upstairs in the building on her own.

One day one of the girls asked where the old lady that had come into reception had gone. She had seen her come in and described exactly what she wearing. Thing is I was in charge of the buzzer and hadn't let anyone in :eek: :eek: The whole place had an eerie feeling and as for the cellar, forget it :erm: :walk:
