That is so true.

And watch out for one of them planting hect... ecter.... ektorpl... that slimy sticky stuff.

barewolf - it's not a ghost. sleep easy. honestly. think of the billions of people who have lived and died on this lump of rock floating through space. why are we not constantly hounded by dead people? because there are no ghosts. sometimes things happen that you cannot explain there and then, but that does not mean it's a ghost. we don't live in medieval times anymore. forget about witches, curses and spirits. you'll do no good wandering about with such thoughts in your head.

get some personal interaction with someone (not via a computer screen). this sort of stuff is often experienced by people who spend a lot of time alone or just in the house - would this tie in with you over the last week or two? get yourself out down the pub with some mates or something. seriously, you'll see things differently.

I interact with lots of people, and my fiance also admits theres something in this house thats paranormal.

she is the one person who isnt mad, you would probably expect it off me with some things i come out with, but not this time.

i actually saw a figure in our lounge, i turned white, i will admit that i may have hallucinated, but i very much doubt it. if you lived here and saw the things i have witnessed then your only rational response is that it must be a ghost

anyway, im going to set my camcorder up to see if i can catch anything on video, but it isnt easy because its not like it advertises when its going to appear.

Anyone who believes in ghosts, have a read of Derren Brown's Tricks of the Mind - you'll be safely cured in no time.

Appart from the dog getting touched..

My grandaughter staring and laughing at something which could be explained away as wind, but it seems weird.

then the cats staring at the wall, again this could be explained away

then a 16ft wooden plank moved in the garden on its own, theres no way that could have been moved by the cat or dog, or by wind.

then you have little things at night like noises, they can probably be explained away also.

one thing that cant is a figure in the lounge, either i am losing the plot or the house is haunted, and i dont think im going nuts.

Barewolf. Ghosts don't exist, you can relax. Your mind is playing tricks on you and once you convince yourself of something you brain will fabricate patterns which are not there. If you were not looking for a ghost all of the incidents you described would have been dismissed.

You mention you have a cat. Cats are cunning and weird. It's probably the cat.

are you saying theres no possibility of a ghost? seriously?

Your not keeping an open mind. You have decided it's a ghost and taken the least likely option. When something cannot be explained it doesn't help to invent a new explanation out of thin air. It's far more likely your cat has gone rogue than a ghost.

Open mind means your open to change your opinion on something when presented with evidence. Doesn't mean you should believe everything

Yup. Ghost's don't exist. That's why despite all these ghost hunters no one has come up with any proof of them

Surely these 2 statements contradict each other?

anyway its not technically impossible that ghosts dont exist, alot of people in this thread have shared experiences, you cant dismiss them all.

What?? lol. you really need to get out more by the sounds of it. all the same, let's try and answer those 2 questions...

1) it wasn't your cat

2) it wasn't your cat

ghost mystery solved. oh my word. honestly. i've heard some odd stuff in my time, but cats turning into people.... lol. it's like a scene out of Moonwalker

my fiance's daughters daughter, besides, its not impossible for a 36 year old to have a grandaughter.

If i had a kid at 15, and my kid had a kid at 15 i could be a grandfather at 30.

People seem more suprised at me being a grandad than the ghost we have, lol, wtf?
