Do you believe in ghosts?

[Anonymous]

Yes, I saw one once. It scared the shit out of me. I still remember it so clearly, and it was 23 years ago.

ITA. Same with "getting chills."

I prefer to live in gray.

This post is useless without details.

I lived in Savannah for awhile and both houses I rented were hunted. The first one had a real creepy vibe, primarily on the stairway. Everyone one of my friends (I was in college at the time) acknowledges that they felt uncomfortable in that area of our house even the most vehement non-believers. One night I woke to see two cloaked figures whispering in front a smoldering ashes in the old fireplace in my bedroom. I immediately sprung from my bed and ran into the hallway. I tried to convince myself that I must have dreamt it but the phantom smoke smell coming from the fireplace (which hadn't functioned in decades) had me sleep downstairs the rest of the night.

The second house was not in anyway threatening or scary, but whenever any major change or drama happened in the house someone would pace up and down the stairs at night and open or close the occasional door.

The lights flicker when I am alone in the house. Only when I am alone. It freaks me out.

I was never in your grandmother's house but I grew up in an old, old house and Yes, I do believe because I have experienced their presence and felt something otherworldly. I've never seen a ghost but I believe. There is an historic plantation on Route 1, I think,--maybe Sully Plantation--go there sometime and you, too, can feel their presence.

How does one feel a ghost's presence?

Am I the only one who thinks resurrected a thread about ghosts is funny?

Go to Woodlawn Plantation on Route one in Alex., va. You'll believe then and you will understand what "feeling their presence" means.

I grew up in a 400 year old house and in my 20s lived in a 500 year old house. Both properties had been the site of a building since at least the 12th century.

Guess what? No ghostly experiences. No I don't believe in them.

This thread is giving me the creeps. Thanks DCUM I won't be able to sleep tonight.
I worked at an old, old hospital in new england and we definitely had ghosts, especially ones from recently deceased patients....

WOW. May I ask what country this was?

[Anonymous]

Definitely. I worked at an old country club in college that used to having living quarters in them. People died there (nothing sinister).

Too many people experienced too many different things. Salt/pepper shakers flying unexpectedly off of empty tables. Lights going on off. Voices when no one else is around (at closing time).

I don't know about ghosts, but I definitely felt...something...in two places. The first was the Dachau Concentration camp, and the second was an empty field on the outskirts of Berlin that was used by German firing squads. The former just felt so unbearably sad, but the latter was perhaps the more terrifying. It felt evil. No birds or wildlife in either place.
