Creepy . . .

[Evelond Formos]

I have. Please also poat where/why/when you saw it.

I saw a ghost in . . . ah well I best start from the beginning.

It was a big dinner night at my dad's house (not many of those lol) and I had to go to the restroom. My stepmother was already using the one downstairs, so I went upstairs . . . in the dark . . . without anyone else up there . . .

So after I came out of the bathroom I saw a whitish thing walking . . . err floating around in my sisters room, which was right across from the bathroom. It had a zig-zaggy mouth, a semi-transparent white body, snd a tail instead of feet. It's hands were fins, and it's eyes were evil. It was lurking around, I was petrified, and it looked at me . . . it vanished, and out of fear I RAN down the stairs, back to where there was light- and other people around.

So, what are your ((make them true)) stories?

His name was "Spirit Healer"

[Evelond Formos]

Spirit healer? Could you make it less vague, please?

[Kell]

He lives in the Whirling Serpent. They say he has babies for breakfast.

[Wormez]

I believe I have seen them on two occasions.

One time was I was in the car, a passenger at about 1-2AM in the morning. And outside a Pub, closed, lights off I saw a ... white glowing old women. Her head just followed me as I looked at it.. strange.


The other time was about 1PM . I had taken the dogs for a walk and as I returned, in my uncles car I saw my dad sat in the passengers seat. He was looking at me, but one of the dogs started Sh!*ing on the pavement so i was distracted, when I looked back he wa gone.


I also once didnt see one but felt a presence, for some ... odd reason I was sat in my bedroom. There was nobody else in the house besides me and suddenly the vaccum cleaners DOWNSTAIRS started going, and when I turned it off the RADIO upstairs in my bedroom turned on, full volume but not on a radio channel just BzZzzzzzzzzzz . I was freaked out and... well freaked out and lost the bloody plot..


But surely, the things I saw were my imagination. But as for the things turning on, off... freaky

I won't elaborate vividly about my experiences, however, I am determined "ghosts" exist. Evelond, I don't mean to bash you here, but.. What you described sounds like a ghost from a cartoon.. Sure it didn't carry chains, as well?

"Ghosts" are not some freaky creatures that evolve into half-monsters and exist solely to scare the beejeesus out of us. "Ghosts" can be an energy, a force of an emotion stuck somewhere, a spirit that cannot find rest, a terrible accident that repeats itself at the given time and place over and over again.. Or like Wormez told about, a family member that watches over the loved ones which are still alive. These are all paranormal occurences that people may label as "ghosts". At least, this is my view on the phenomenon.

I have certainly seen my share of strange things.

The strangest was an old house I use to rent where the study door would close and lock on it's own. The first time it happened, I got the key but it wouldn't work, so I turned around to ask my freind to get the spare key and just as I was asking him, the door opened on it's own. I tell you, we both jumped!

It happened alot and since I lived in the house for 9 years, we kind of got use to it. We even had a name for our little study door ghost - Henry. All my friends that witnessed an occurance of Henry thought it was really cool.

The door would normally only remain locked for about 10-15mins at most, but at various times, even in the middle of the day.

I will admit, I quite liked Henry the study door ghost, never felt threatened or scared of him after that first time. Never saw him though - but some people say that only people blessed with inner eye sight, can see them.

I sort of have an opinion on this:

Ghosts are not matter, for if they were then they wouldn't be transparent; they would fall apart if they were matter. And that being said, they must have the ability to rearrange their shape. I think ghosts are living- err undead- memories, on a mission or another before they go into eternal rest. So, -that- being said, the ghost might have known what various people see of ghosts when it was alive, and decided to take that shape.

This house is over two hundred years old, and that means quite a few generations lived in it. The ghost probably was a prankster, and took the shape of a 'cartoony' ghost.

So my point is: not being matter, ghosts can change shape at will.

[Kell]

Yes, well, I suppose we'll never really find out the truth.

We all may think from time to time we're seeing things. Sometimes it's a fragment of our imagination. Sometimes it really is something.

Who are we to call someone else nuts for seeing things we do not believe them seeing?

I wont be the one saying you didn't see it Evelond. I never saw a ghost in my life. That is, not that I'm aware of. And I'd like to keep it that way.

[Muletang]

you're attributing thought to a being with no brain. If they are left over memory or whatever that takes a shape and performs and action, then that I can understand (vaguely on the way energy doens't disappear etc), but for it to then alter it's shape as though it had a free will seems to my mind a bit dubious.

Grok - post up about the scary house. Glad I was too young to remember it.

[Wormez]

Why don't we just forget about theory's and just.... accept it for what it is, or don't accept it.

It is when people try the Theories that things get spoiled!

Chill man

[Boon]

Can't say I've ever seen one. But I may have felt their presence, if that is what it was. Oddly, whoever was around with me at the time felt freaked or scared, where I felt excited and curious about it. -shrugs-

[DM Chicken Little]

I had a roommate who swore we lived in a haunted house, she woud do readings with tarot cards, lights candles to talk to the dead, even had her psychic come over.

She complained on seeing shadows move, things always being knocked on the ground off the tables, and hearing noises in the walls and attics.

Turns out we had an infestation of rats.

Any visitations by Agony of late?

Heh.


Is this your way of saying no Chicken Little?


Can't say I've seen any ghosts myself, thats not to say I haven't been spooked and thought so.
