Real life ghost experiences

Yes. Once I definitely saw an old woman in my bedroom four nights before my Dad passed. A few years previous to that I thought I saw my sister's dog in her hallway (he'd been dead a few months) but I wasn't really sure.
 
I've been reincarnated several times, so naturally I believe in ghosts.
 
I have never seen or heard a ghost, but I have talked to people who had plausible stories of their encounters. When I was in my twenties I liked to go into cemeteries after dark and smoke marijuana. The older the cemeteries were, the more I liked doing that. The scariest thing that happened during one of my cemetery walks was when I was nearly arrested. 😨
 
when I was a kidI once lived in a house where the pots and pans and shit would bang(not the house creaking, but metal things going *twang* in the kitchen), sometimes late at night there would be a shit load of foot steps, but when anyone checked the rooms, they'd be gone, once to start again when you closed the door. Had terrifying experiences in that house with pure black shadow folk and weird fucking apparitions. I had many weird experiences like couple of times shit flew, not dropped, flew across the room with no plausible explanation why or how. Like I've walked into the kitchen and a fucking tupperware lid, "jumped up" and flew right across the area rught in front of me and my bro fucking whirling perpendicular to the ground. I thought I was crazy sometimes, but when your family and friends see the same shit you did in that house, you don't know what to think anymore. There were worse experiences but I don't like to think about it. That house left me terrified of the dark until adulthood. I had to train myself to be okay with sleeping in the dark.

People can say what the fuck they want about whether ghosts, or "supernatural" exists or not, but that shit left me a full on believer. Thankfully I've only seen one experience like that since I left that damn place years ago. I feel bad for whoever moved in that house, but it's your problem now, guy.
 
It was more a paranormal experience. I asked God to send me a sign that I would make it through a bf's death. I didn't ask for signs again.:)
 
Yes, but it was a looong time ago. Although it might have been more negative energy than a ghost… a poltergeist type situation… apparition, noises, movement. The whole nine yards, so to speak.
 
Has anyone here ever had any real life ghost experiences?

I know I saw a shadow man in my room years ago. Damn thing peaked around a corner and scared 10 years off of me.
I have lost count of the sitings. From childhood onwards, and I am now 63. Spooks are real. It is just that not everyone actually sees them.
 
I saw one of those before too.

I've had a few actually. My scariest one was when I had a succubus in my bed. Skeptics will say it can probably be explained by sleep paralysis, but it felt so real and vivid, that I have a have a difficult time believing it was just in my head. Also, I imagine if it was caused by my sleep paralysis, it would be a much more frequent occurance.
I literally couldn't sleep in my bed for two weeks, I was so terrified. And even going near my bed I would get chills and a feeling of darkness.

My most convincing one was when I was exploring a house at an old fort. I didn't hear anything about it being haunted, but on one of the floors I just had this feeling that there was something dark and evil there, then I stumbled upon a YouTuber who also experienced something in the same part of the house and became convinced its haunted.
 
About 15 years ago, I was on leave and my wife, daughter and I went to this really creepy and supposedly haunted Victorian hotel near Tampa.

I had a cup of coffee after dinner, which was unusual, but then signed up for the ghost tour, which was really just a bunch of legends from the hotel. My wife and daughter stayed in the room and went to sleep.

I went to bed around 12. I had the sensation of someone staring me right in the face like in my personal space. I thought it was my daughter or something, but when I opened my eyes, no one was there. But then the damnedest thing happened, I couldn’t move or sort of breathe. It felt like I was paralyzed, and after a few moments, I was able to sort of break my body out of it and move again.

It was super creepy and weird, and I didn’t sleep a wink the rest of the night.

For the record, I don’t really believe in ghosts, but I do not know what that was.

I googled it years ago, and it’s a condition known as sleep paralysis. But whatever it was, and whatever caused it, it was scary as shit.

Sleep paralysis hallucinations are generally characterized by fear. For many, the experience is described as a "waking nightmare."4

For instance, you may sense that a dark figure in your room is an evil presence intent on doing you harm. Or, you may hear what you believe to be an intruder who you are unable to fend off. The fear is compounded by the fact that you cannot move or do anything to protect yourself.


During sleep paralysis, a person commonly experiences what is known as a "locked-in syndrome" in which you are conscious but unable to move anything but your eyes.4 The ability to see, feel, and hear can make the hallucinations seem all the more real.

Words commonly used to describe sleep paralysis hallucinations include "terrifying," "shocking," "weird," "otherworldly," "helpless," "angry," and "disgusting."

Rarely, some people will describe the experience as comforting.4

Other Symptoms
Hallucinations are a common component of sleep paralysis but not the only one. There are others a person will commonly experience, including:1

Inability to move or talk during sleep transitions
Trying unsuccessfully to cry or scream for help
Limited eye movement
A sensation of suffocation or breathlessness
Out-of-body experience (like you're looking down at yourself)
