Have you ever seen a ghost?

[Mike_Yates]

I've never seen one, but my brother saw the transparent apparition of my deceased grandfather just a matter on months after his passing of a heart attack.

If you have seen a ghost, please tell us your story!

Also, do you believe in the supernatural?

 

[Oh_That_Guy]

Nope. Don't expect to either.

I see them all the time but they aren't the spooky kind and they live in my head.

Oh, I didn't realize we were counting invisible friends. Hell, I got tons of those.

There's the ghost of a little girl who was killed in front of the house in 1922: Hit by a car and before she could be brought into the house, she died. The ghost will come down the stairs - you hear her footsteps - and if you're new to the house - staying over and sleeping in the living room - she'll appear at the bottom of the stairs and wake you up. (My siblings and I saw her whenever we stayed over, this house was owned by my maternal grandparents.)

My grandfather's will announce his presence with the smell of unfiltered Camel cigarettes. If you've EVER smelled them, you know there's never mistaking them for someone outside smoking a filtered cig.

My grandmother's ghost will announce she's around with the aroma of peculated Maxwell House coffee. A nice smell.

My wife's seen "Grandpa Joe," said a man with a military cut snow white hair "met" her at the door once when she returned from a business trip at 2 in the morning. She screamed and woke us up.

Many more examples of them, including the "cold spot, feeling of dread and despair" that once was in the playroom. And the time the plumber and his father saw a "few" men in colonial grab in the cellar when they were putting up pipes for the heater.

How can hear a ghosts footsteps?
How can you tell a brand of cigarette or coffee by the smell?

The stairs are original: Hardwood that creeks for NO reason
The brand of cigarettes is easy: That's ALL he smoked and it's a smell you NEVER EVER forget: It's just disgusting. As for the Maxwell House, that's all she used, plus it's a different smell from what's in the house currently.

Wood creaks for all kinds of reasons. Ghosts, if they are real wouldn't have any mass so they wouldn't have footsteps.

Rhythmically? Like someone's coming down them? Sure, whatever you say!

No, to be able to see them means light is hitting form, which means a mass exists, however minute. Not enough to creak wood floors, maybe.

Unless they can control their mass into a focal point that interacts with solid objects, like that how subway ghost taught Patrick Swayze in Ghost.

There are so many ghost hunters from universities to amateurs with all this supposedly high tech equipment yet still no proof.
Sorry, I'd need actual scientific proof to believe as I'm skeptical. Just my thought on the subject.

I have very old hardwood stairs ( one stair case is oak, one elm). They don't allways creak underfoot but they do sometimes creak by them selves, like the floor might, and the rest of the house. Sometimes it really can feel like someone else is in the house, more so the emptier it is. I love the noises of old houses though. I don't feel I share them in the way of with 'ghosts' however.

These stairs creak under everyone's foot, even the cats'

I will probably see at least a dozen at the end of the month.

You can throw candy in the bag. I have a 21-year-old son who's 5'8" and maybe 120 lbs (and eats fast food burgers, with bacon, at least 3 times a week. His college is near a Wendy's, Five Guys, Smashburger...)

 

[suckonsimon]

Not seen. Felt. grabbing my neck. Oh she was upset! We later determined about the 'she'. Thankfully for her it was all laid to rest. Long story which I'll not say more about.
