Ever seen a ghost?

[Amsterdammer]

Sometimes people don't have to believe in pink elephants to be run over by one.

Sage is cleansing, if you burn it once a week or so it should help. Not in all cases, and not permanently. There are more drastic solutions too.
But in general, sage clears the air.

Normally though, you get this stuff when people have been playing with Ouija board or think its cool to tell a scary story.
If you have been playing with it, get help. Not from me but your local priest, pick any decent religion. Don't trust people that charge money other than material cost. Top secret materials don't cost 300+ bucks...

YES - without a doubt in my mind i also believe in spirits and ghost, But i believe ghost are harmless,And you can connect to spirits using the third eye.

I wouldn't say all ghosts are harmless. I don't believe in Ghosts but it doesn't matter if its an alien, or a ghost - where there's good, there's also bad.

You mean ghosts like this one?

I don't tell many people about this but I do absolutely believe in 'spirits'.

My mom passed away when I was 7 and about 6 months later my family moved to California. The way the houses were in my neighborhood was that the houses were back to back with streets in front and an alleyway between the backsides. Well, since mischievous kids would often break the lights in the alleyway, most the of home owners never replaced them and they were almost completely dark.

I was on my way walking home down the alleyway one night (yea, I know... wtf was an 8 yr old walking home by himself? But keep in mind, this was 40 years ago - and it probably wasn't too late - I don't remember exactly). In either case, I heard a small noise behind me and figured it was a cat in a garbage can or something. I turned around and saw the lighted image of my Mom. Almost immediately after seeing the image, both the image and the light faded away. Now some people would say it was my mind wanting her to be there... but where did the light come from then? Hard to imagine light in my opinion.

I ran home although thinking about it years later it wasn't because I was scared of her, it just startled the crap out of me. In my mind when I think about it - I think she showed herself to protect me from something - to get me to get my butt home pronto cause something could have happened if I didn't.

So do I believe? YES - without a doubt in my mind.

The fact it stayed with you all these years shows the impact it had on you. Thanks for letting us know, even though it was personal to you.

I have got a similar distinct memory from around the same age, I might tell it later. Haha I just can't be bothered to write another massive post again just yet.

Never seen one. Neither is interested in seeing one.

Just a question for you guys:

What would you HONESTLY do if you saw a ghost?

I know Il be shitting my pants, and probably just screaming. Id be looking for the closest exit, and just trying to get the hell out of there.

 

[illfounded21]

Ah, I would've pissed on myself if that happened to me, really. I've always hated scary shit that happens in a bathroom. Oh, and when those dogs were barking, were they all barking to just that corner or did one of the dogs bark towards something else? I'd like to know if those dogs saw only one "ghost" or even worse, more since you mentioned you heard voices in the living room.


On a second thought, can you post what your friend experienced in the house? Damn, this is getting interesting.

All 3 barking towards the exact same spot in the corner. All their head were looking at the same place, genuinely as if they were looking at someone.

The one thing my friend said- which stayed in my memory- is when he was sleeping on his own in the house one time. He has wooden floors and stairs, and remember I said earlier that his house was 5 stories, so that is a lot of staircase.

Well he told me he was lying in bed at night one time when he heard a noise. He listened to what sounded like footsteps in the house. He said he was lying there, really straining to hear, but he was sure they were footsteps. Quiet at first, he said it sounded like they were at bottom of the 1st set of stairs but they were getting louder and closer. As if someone/something was climbing the stairs slowly.

He said he got really worried that someone had broken in to the house, as now he was 100% sure they were footsteps, and were loud and clear now. He said at the time he was frozen there in his bed, as he could hear the last footsteps get to the top of the final staircase on to his hall landing. They then proceeded to walk- with floor boards creaking until it got to the door of his room- he was sure someone was going to walk into his room.

He waited, but nothing happened. Eventually after a fair amount of mins had passed he got out and checked the hall, only to find nothing there. He told me he was more worried someone had broken in and due to the fact the ghost/or whatever had done nothing to him- he wasnt really concerned by it.

Another friend said the same thing about footsteps in the house too.

Imagining what your friend just experienced gives me the chills. Im outta here, bye!

A friend of mine told me that his uncle carries a third eye, or what most people call it, the sixth sense. I'm not totally sure if this is all true. People say he is gifted with the sixth sense, and he can detect spirits/things that are not physical in nature. What I find interesting is he can also apply a temporary third eye to anyone who wishes to have on. As far as I can remember, he'll hold a person's hand firmly, talk in a weird language and then that specific person has the ability to detect spirits temporarily until my friend's uncle lets go of his hand.I know it sounds like crap and all, that's what I'm trying to find out; true or not.

There are numerous paranormal experiences happening in India. Possessions, Sightings and exorcisms are common here. A few of my aquaintances/friends/relatives have had paranormal experiences.

I'll just copy paste one possession and exorcism experience I posted on reddit. If you guys have some interest, I may share some more

"I would like to share a couple of stories about possessions and exorcism. I come from India and stuff like these are pretty common over here. Almost everyone has an acquaintance who was possessed or had a supernatural thing happen to them. Fortunately, I have never seen anything supernatural. Also, I haven't personally seen an exorcism but have many relatives who vouch for it. I have quite a few stories ranging from exorcisms to black magic.
I am moderately religious- implying that I believe in my religion but don't quite follow it very well. Also, I am a dentist. So, I am from a science background and analyze everything skeptically. I'll share the story on exorcism and maybe some more if there is an interest. My dad is very religious and the go to person for any problems in my relatives. So, if there is any doubt of possessions in my relatives and aquaintance, he is called to for help. He doesnt do exorcisms but know people who do.
So, the story Im talking about is when my cousin (sister) was possessed. I don't really know how she got possessed. But, she was studying in a village somewhere and that was probably where that happened. She was just a normal person before that. Several of my relatives have witnessed this. So, I can vouch for this. But,its your opinion whether you want to believe this as a possession or mental imbalance. I am just sharing the story.
Anyways, she started showing symptoms of a typical possession. Whats a typical possession? The belief here is that Jinn are responsible for the possessions. Jinns are creatures that exist parallel to our world. They just exist in another dimension. We can't see them but they can see us. However, there have been several instances where people I know have seen them. They are creatures similar to us, they eat, drink, get married, have families, speak in different languages and also have different religions. So, when a jinn possesses a person, here are the typical features.

• The person becomes extremely powerful the person becomes extremely hungry and will eat a huge quantity of food which is abnormal for a human being.
  
• The person will not talk a lot and keep to themselves The person will become extremely violent on provocation and they have to be tied to their beds or chairs by chains like in the movies.
  
• Voice will occassionally change like in the movies. Females are mostly affected. The reason for this is said to be their beauty.
  
• The person can become extremely religious since the jinn possessing the person will also have religion.

So, my cousin sis was showing these typical symptoms. She was getting really violent and hitting her mom and family with unhuman power and was restrained. My dad went there to help. Tried to talk to my cousin to see whether this was really a possesion or something else. He talked nicely to her asking her whats happening and was there any problem and all. i am not sure what exactly she wanted but I think she said that she wanted everyone to leave her alone and let her go away. She was always wearing green colored clothes.(Green is said to be color of jinn). So, there was little doubt in everyones mind that she was possessed. She talked in a manly voice to my father. She coaxed him saying that he was the only person nice there and all. I think she was doing this so that they dont take her to an exorcist. Anyways, the exorcist came, did his stuff and went.
I dont really know what he did but she became normal after that. I believe in this story because for a normal educated girl to undergo such a severe transformation and to become normal after the exorcism is quite something.
I have also stories about black magic, more possesions, paranormal sightings etc. If you have interest, let me know which stories you want to hear about.Some of these happened to my friends, acquaintance, or acquaintance/relatives/friends of my friends."

Ghost are real, i here to many stories about them for it not to be real. Ever watched Ghost Adventures?
I have a cousin who messed with the oowigi board and he claims it works and he talked with spirits . Why isnt there scientist looking into this ?

 

[SH44tre]

I have to say I'm fairly doubtful. I believe more strongly in the profound effect fear has on our senses, reinforced by the fact that at some point in our lives, most of us will have at least one psychotic episode :/ The mind is extremely powerful, and unfortunately it is impossible to be objective about your subjective.

I was a psyc student, so I'm fairly biased,
but temporary insanity is a thing that happens more often than people might think, and it doesn't take very much, relatively, to throw off one's perception of reality.

Beyond that I've also taken hallucinogenics, so it becomes quite apparent just how fragile our grasp on reality really is... :/
