On a rainy night in early November of 1997 when I was 18, my friend and I were sitting in his basement finishing off one of the kegs he had gotten for his Halloween party a few nights before. As we sat in his basement, I brought up the topic of ghosts in his house because though I'd never personally experienced anything in his house, other of my friends had and so had he and his family. I started to ask him questions about it and he told me some stuff but other stuff he said I wouldnt believe him if he told me. Then, out of nowhere I felt a cold chill up the back of my neck. He must have felt it too because we both stopped talking and looked at each other and then at his dog that was sitting on the basement steps staring at something. Then all of a sudden his dog leapt off the stairs and started barking and attacking thin air! We headed for the stairs but the dog got there first, then my friend, then me. As I was running up the steps I could distinctly hear footsteps pounding on the steps behind me even after I was off the steps the footsteps continued. I walked out of his house that night into the pouring rain and have never been back since. I will also never doubt that ghosts exist again.lol!

I prefer to call them Spirits...Ghost sounds a bit spooky.

I have felt presences near to me often in my life since my husband died, generally when things are not going well, like when both of my parents were dying. I could explain in what form but it would take too long. I do believe they are around us.

I believe it's possible, sure! Haven't experienced anything personally myself though.

<))))))))))@.Take a puff off this bro,& we'll lay this whole episode 2 rest.What do ya say?

I do too honestly and yes spirits might be a better term but I also believe they are around us a whole lot more than we think.

Yes I have. I have told my story indepth in another post once. All I can say is NEVER mess with ouija boards. They are evil. I didn't know much about them at the time. I will never be around one again. The place we rented at the time is still haunted because of it and they still have a difficult time renting it out.

gee that was original. Your the first one to say that when I've told this story

it was about 2 years ago,i went to my grandparents house after graduation,spent the night there,and about the second night,i woke up about 3 in the morning,i turn over and i see a figure shaped like a little girl,i stared at it for a few seconds and jumped up,ran and turned on the light as quickly as possible,and there was nothing there,it wasnt a chair or anything,and i knew i was awake.

I have experienced the paranormal it was called my ex wife...oh no that was BI POLAR sorry

I asked a ouija board at my 12th birthday party what I was going to be when I grew up, and the letters spelled out "bus" ?
On the serious side, I do believe that we maybe do get "signs" from the other side, and maybe just don't know it. JMHO!

We really need a search feature to pull up these kinds of threads. Some of us want to share but repeating those long stories just sucks sometimes.

I feel them all the time; I don't see them as often

I have experienced visions that came true.

I believe, with reason.
