Anybody seen a ghost or had a paranormal experience?

I said to missus flook this morning that I have a dentist appointment at 9.40 on friday, I looked at the clock and it was exactly 9.40, that's pretty spooky if you ask me

Even scarier if the times were 2.30

I have gone deep in the rabbit hole of paranormal activity “caught on video” for decades now. Proper geek for it and I find the topic fascinating in a kind of human psychology way.

Never seen anything close to hard evidence though.

Seen a few things in videos that I would call “cool and kind of interesting” but all generally have plausible mundane explanations. Never seen anything myself.

Edit: Thought I’d add some of my favourite footage I’ve found through the years.

Gettysburg, US. This is something which is probably a natural phenomenon or trick of light… but you can see how people interpret these things as ghosts. Especially in this kind of location:

Not sure if this qualifies as ‘Paranormal’ but it certainly wasn’t ‘normal’ !

About 42 years ago in school (Sharston, French lesson, Mr Barlow) I was put on the second to last row from the back (apparently I was being a knobhead and disrupting the class),so, nobody alongside me, nobody behind me.

About 10 minutes into the lesson, I felt 3 really hard, sharp pokes into my shoulder blade, that hard they actually jolted me, (you know the type, when teachers used to poke you in the chest) for a brief moment, I thought it must have been one of my mates behind me or something, but then suddenly, I realised that there wasn’t anyone behind me, so I then shot up, looking under the tables, throwing the desks and chairs over, then running towards the door of the class shouting WTF etc and trying to say what had happened.

Of course, ‘Billy fuckin Bendover’ Mr Barlow refused to believe me shouting all sorts and sent me to the head office for ‘The Strap’, went there, tried to profess my innocence but to no avail and got strapped (and detention).

Ever since then, I’ve always thought of Ghosts and suchlike as shit stirring little twats and I’ve no time for them.

Only one that I can recall. About 20 years ago two friends and myself used to visit a few country pubs on a Thursday night in Sussex. Because of the drink driving laws we took a weekly rota where the designated driver stuck to half pints alternated with a soft drink. It was winter and the heater was full on. Suddenly out of a country lane appeared a luminous female figure dressed in servant's clothing of the last century, The figure seemed to glide half a foot above road level.There was a definite chill in the car until the figure passed. We were quite shaken.

maybe it was a cross dresser on a skateboard

No, they don’t exist.

Unfortunately you do!

Once me and my brother were stood in our kitchen, we'll away from the fuse box, and he turned to me and said wouldn't it be spooky if all the lights in the house went out now. At that exact moment the fuse box tripped.
I just put it down to a highly improbable coincidence.

Was that just as he plugged in the faulty kettle ?
