Ghost encounters in real life.

Share your stories on any ghost encounters you had in real life.

Don't know if I can call them ghost stories, but one time at my aunts house, I was hanging in the living room watching a movie. My mom came to watch the movie with me and we were the only 2 in the house, my aunt was out doing groceries with her son or something. I then hear 2 knocks. I automatically assume its the front door so I walk over and yell "who is it?". There was no answer, and the no one at the door. After taking a few more steps toward the door, 2 knocks came from my cousins bedroom which is closer to the living room where my mom and I were. Freaked me the hell out and made me want to leave. I stayed the night though because my mom was in a fight with my dad lol.

2nd time was in the same house. This time I was taking a dump with the door locked and shut. Next thing I know the door blows open. I was the only one in the house at that moment. I never went back after this lmao.

Nothin', s'all fake

I swear I saw somebody when I was pooping once. Probably a ghost.

Oh and one time when coming home late, somewhere past midnight, on the side of the road I thought i saw a person standing there but when I looked back they weren't there. Can't think of anything else.

Take note at how these encounters happen at night and never during the day.

There are quite a few reports of ghost encounters during the day time.  Most of them pertain to people who claim to live or had once lived in haunted houses or worked in placed that were haunted.

The validity of such claims is of course subject to skepticism.  In my experience most ghost encounters can be explained if someone with a decent knowledge of psychics and deduction skills looks into it with any depth.  Now and then you can come across some that aren't so easy to dismiss however.

I used to do a bit of urban exploration/ghost hunting when I was young, I never once encountered anything definitive.  The closest would be when we were at an old burned down farmhouse that a young boy supposedly died in from the fire.  It was a clear night with a bright moon.  Behind the house was a hill that had a barn at the base and cornfields behind it.  Another person and myself were at the top of the hill talking, the rest were down by the cornfield.  Then they were suddenly running up the hill towards us at full speed.  Behind then I can very clearly see a dark shadow behind them at the base of the hill.

I'll be the first to admit It's more likely it was a wild animal, as they did get a distinct growling noise on the voice recorder.  Though that's exactly why we didn't stick around to find out.  Given we had to deal with being stalked by a pack of coyotes on two separate occasions prior to that night.

There is no such thing as ghosts. It is always me with a bed sheet on my head :) I also use an invisibility cloak while throwing dishes at people in their homes. That is the best.

Last December I was trying to get some sleep about a week before Christmas. I was home alone as my sisters were at my aunt's home and my folks were in Vegas for a pool tournament.

Around 1 in the morning, I woke up because I started hearing crying outside my bedroom door, really loud stuff, like someone just discovered a loved one's body. It went on for 2 straight hours, nothing but wailing and screaming until 3 in the morning. I was so spooked that I called my friend who was getting ready to go on his paper route and went with him. I ended up developing temporary insomnia and didn't sleep for a week and a half. I didn't go back into my room at night until February.

I haven't heard the crying since, but I'm still pretty weirded out by it. Whatever the f*ck it was, it scared the shit out of me.

Everyone in my family has experienced ghosts in my home, including the friends that slept over.

I have on that is kinda funny, I have a bunch of stories but I do enjoy this one since it is more believeable to me. When I first moved into our newly rented home, I decided to take a piss in the upstairs bathroom. While I was taking a piss, I saw my curtains be hit by a force, sort of like a poke but a forceful one. I was started and confused, so I opened the curtains to see what might have caused it.

At first I thought it was my cat chillin in the tub, but there was nothing there that could have caused it. I even checked for insects to see if any had fallen, but nothing. Then I knew this house had something and everyone could feel it. Not evil or anything but someone lost that would wonder around upstairs and go up and down the stairs a lot like a broken record. 

I've also had my shoe levitate once while I was playing my PSP. This was like the first time I've seen things move on their own that wasn't all that bad and annoying with sounds and name calls like my previous homes.

Each home I've been in has a different feel and the experiences are always different. It makes me wonder how you could profile these things, something that isn't physically there in front you to study.

I believe in many of myths. But I don't believe in ghosts. Because when we are dead, we leave this world. Or at least that's what I think.

There's no such thing as ghosts. And no, I'm not a skeptic. I believe in the supernatural, but just not ghosts.

For someone to think they've had a genuine ghost experience they must be really arrogant, because they're essentially saying they know all there is to know about the natural world, and this thing they've experienced that they cannot explain must therefor be supernatural.PernicioEnigma

I used to be able to see shadows/ figures. Now I feel nothing.

but were they coyotes...or SKIN WALKERS!

edit: note my avy when reading this.

i was at camp once and we were in the woods and i turned and saw a creepy girl behind my friend and i rubbed my eyes and looked again and she was gone, when we went back to our cabin i told my friend and he was terrified,

A ghost pulled my mom's hair for a couple weeks. Long story, but I saw it with my own eyes.BMD004

you sure it wasn't the wind?

I've said this one before, but it's kind of strange.

Apparently, when I was a very young kid, like just learned how to talk young, I started to ask my mum who the boy in my room was. When she asked me what he looked like, I described him as a medieval prince. At that point in time I had absolutely no idea what a medieval prince really looked like. I don't remember any of this myself, but it's pretty interesting.

So my bathroom is connected to my room, so the only way to access it is to walk all the way across my room and get to the door. My father was out of town and my mom was asleep, but their room is at the complete opposite end of the house. I always sleep with my door closed, and I have a really creaky door that usually wakes me up when someone opens it (i'm an extremely light sleeper.) I also keep my bathroom door closed when I'm asleep, no idea why but I just do, and one night around 3 or 4ish I could have SWORN I heard a light clicking noise from inside the bathroom, and the overhead bathroom light suddenly turned on, I could see the light from the crack under the door. Like I said, if my mom were to randomly come in and go in my bathroom for any reason, I would have heard it because that door wakes me up. I ended up asking her anyway and of course she said she was dead asleep and never went in there, and she doesn't sleepwalk either.

REALLY freaked me out because I've never experienced anything like that before, but yeah. Lights suddenly turning on is definitely more of a rare occurance than lights turning off. 

I never but lot of my relatives actually experience Jinn.

whats a jinn ? :|

While I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I'm still way to smart to believe in ghosts.

I have seen things that less intelligent people would think are ghosts, but I acknowledge them for what they are, hallucinations.
