Ever seen a 'ghost'?

[Ducado]

Yes and a few other things that could be classed as paranormal, I have a theory about many sightings in that they are kind of memories etched into the landscape not all of them though

It was definitely somebody's pet.

Which ear was pierced? Left or right?

fuck me i was wrecked, right i think.

Left is straight, right is gay. You followed a gay rabbit back to your place.

I'm hugely sceptical over the existence of ghosts, I've seen and been at a fair few 'traumatic' deaths and can say I've never seen or felt anything remotely paranormal (I work for the ambulance service, not a serial killer!!) yet I've had 3 weird experiences that I can't explain but still have no real belief in ghosts.

The first one I was about 11 and me and a friend of mine had built a den at the bottom of my mum and dad's garden. We were sat telling each other ghostly stories one winter evening when we heard a lad shout from the top of my parents drive (about 40 feet long) he said 'alright lads you in?' So we thought it was a mate of ours so we hid. We heard footsteps head down the drive and one of my cats hissed and darted away from under my dad's car, so we continued to hide. 5 minutes passed and we heard nothing more and no one had come for us to jump out on to scare. We headed round to all the lads houses that we knocked about with, 3 weren't in at all and 1 was having his tea. To this day we never saw anything or heard anyone leave. No idea who or what it was!

The second, I moved from working on the ambulances in Liverpool to Lancashire and the station I moved to was an old Army reserve building, now I'd been told all about it being haunted by a soldier who had shot himself there during the 2nd world war after being refused to go to the front line. Again with me being sceptical I laughed off all the old stories and the creaks and bumps at the station at night. One night we'd been out on a call about 3 in the morning and had just returned to station, upon heading in we found the notice board in the main corridor in station had had all the memos/info updates/vacancy bulletins etc (about 40 clipboards all attached by nails to to bulletin boards) knocked to the floor and spread all the way down the corridor, now the corridor has no windows in it and no adjoining door to outside without another door being between it so their was no chance of them being blown down, even some of the nails had come out of the board. Again no rational explanation for it and we were the only ones on station (it's only a 1 ambulance station so just me and my crew mate).

The final one was about 8 months ago in my old house, it was a mid terrace from the 1850's. Now I never felt there was anything odd about the house and accepted the old groans and creaks as it being an old house. My missis was starting to say she was getting scared of the knocks and bangs while I was away working nights so one night when she had gone to bed and I stayed up and when I heard a few creaks and bangs so I said out loud 'come on quit it, if you are a ghost you're scaring my girlfriend and I don't believe in you so knock it off or show yourself' and thought nothing more of it. I went to bed about an hour later and just as I was falling asleep I was punched/pushed forcibly in the back of the head, enough to feel pain and for my head to be pushed into the mattress. Again, who the hell knows what did it bit I'm still no more a believer than I was before!

Me n a mate were going over an old battlefield in the midlands called Sconce Hills one night.The wind got up for literally 5 seconds,in them 5 seconds I saw an old family all dishevelled ,the old style clothes hats and everything ,arm in arm struggling along.I saw so much in that short space of time,they simply disappeared .Rather than tell him what I saw,I asked did you fuckin see that then,he replied yes and described everything I saw .

What you've described sounds remarkably like the Briggs-Price family today ;-)

HA ha no big white teeth so couldn't have been them .

I haven't but a close friend certainly did.

I was serving in the Army at Kirton Lindsey in Lincolnshire and some of the married soldiers were quartered at a remote place called Hemswell (ex wartime RAF Hemwell Cliff) which was 6 miles south. It really was pretty bleak and the only facility there was a 'Family's Bar' that was one room in what was the old Medical Centre.

A problem arose when on 3 occasions the building was broken into and the Fruit Machine robbed. The Regimental Sergeant Major decreed that a soldier from the guard would sleep in the bar each night to prevent further break ins.

First up was my best pal and once the bar emptied at 11pm he closed all the doors, locked himself in the bar and got into his sleeping bag that was put on the long bar seats.

He had not long been asleep when he heard noises from the main hallway area which lay the other side of the doors he had closed to lock himself in the bar. Thinking he was going to catch the serial thief he got out if his sleeping bag and moved towards the door. Upon opening the door, rather than be greated with the expected presence of a thief he found himself staring at a man stood in an RAF Flying Suit!

Not wanting to conduct any conversation and realizing this wasn't anything normal my friend turned and ran through the bar before kicking open the fire door and running to the nearest house in a blind panic!

He would not return to the bar and was signed if sick with stress for 2 weeks. Worse still was the piss taking he took thereafter.

Thing is that a few weeks later it was confirmed that the building had once housed a morgue where dead airman (mainly tail gunners who'd been shot) were often stored upon returning from flying missions.

Till this day he has refused to change his story and is steadfast that he saw a ghost!

My Dad trained on Lancasters late in the war at Hemswell, it wasn't him he survived.

Used to go the market there for my dodgy DvD's .

More afraid of the living than the dead, but!
First house I ever bought was a small 3 bed semi, every now and then you'd hear someone running really loudly across the floorboards upstairs. Now fair enough it could of been expanding and contracting floorboards, pipes etc, but even if the house was full it would only be the people downstairs that would hear it

[Why Always Ste]

My mother is a Clairvoyant Medium <a class="postlink" href="http://www.impsychic.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.impsychic.co.uk</a> has been into this whole Spiritualist movement for over 30yrs now so I've had it rammed down my throat since birth that Spirit is real and there is an after-life.

Some of you will be surprised how popular it is. every time I'm at my mothers there are people (men and women) there having tarot readings off her, and also clairvoyancy (where she presumes she is in contact with the clients family/friends)

As I've become an Adult I've come to develop my own views on it all (more scientific) but I have seen some public shows she has done over the years where she has picked out random strangers and literally wiped them off their feet with info she couldn't of known unless told by someone/something

There is an After-Life.
Your Spirit lives on.

I've sensed things myself which I can't explain whilst meditating. I've had Atheistic views also rammed down my throat from my older Brother who completely disbelieves in the whole spiritualist movement but I can't pretend that I haven't felt certain spirits and so on when I actually.... Have.
