Ghosts

Do ghosts exist?

I worked with a guy who was a real honest guy, not the brightest of chaps but really not the sort to tell lies.

He told us he had come into work at 5am to start his shift as a boiler man in a old victorian hospital and there was a man and a woman dancing in the old boiler house. He said they turned and looked at him and then walked through a wall where an old doorway had been bricked up.

In many cases I would have been sceptical but this guy was so honest and had nothing to gain by the story.

My wife also swears she saw a ghost in her bedroom when she was young.

Me I've never seen a thing.

So I wonder has anyone else got any stories to share.

I am probably going to put my neck on the line here and in the 1600's I would probably burnt alive .........but here goes.
I could talk to you all day about the things I have seen heard and experienced in my life. I helped run a Paranormal group for some time and I have done many readings, although I will never proclaim I am a psychic medium or otherwise. There are showboaters out there who prey on peoples grief and misery and I strongly dont agree that people think its ok to make a living out of it .....I am believer in the after life wholeheartley and I know that everyone of us have the potential to tap into our psychic abilities ( we all do it on a day to day basis without us realising) I have run several courses from home with total non believers who have walked away knowing and feeling that there is more to life than this. I dont preach and I certainly value and respect everyones beliefs and in return I would expect the same.

I do believe in ghosts, spirits ot whatever you choose to call them live on............

I once made an appointment to see a psychic.

When I got to the business premises there was a sign on the door.

As I said, I've never seen a thing but I've felt uneasy in certain places.

My sister tells me my father spoke to her after his death. My wife tells me her grandmother and her father spoke to her after her death quite often but then it became less.

I am fascinated by this subject and would seriously like to hear what people have seen.

I am sceptical of some of the programs I've watched on TV, but I believe there's got to be something in it as genuine people have told me they've heard and seen things.

When I Was a student on summer break, I got a job as an invigilator for a sculpture exhibition in Margam Castle in south wales, The castle already had a reputation for ghosts but I was a non believer, just thought it was for tourists.

It was a lonely job sitting in the great hallway with a majestic staircase with photos of the gentry & family of a bygone age including Fox Talbot the pioneer of early photography.

I was sitting reading on a quiet dull day when a woman walked in not noticing me sitting in the corner, she was dressed in down-ton abbey type clothes that's the only way i can describe them as i could not say what era they were from.

My first thoughts was bemusement at this woman was dressed this way, she walked in a normal fashion but with authority in that she new exactly were she was going most tourist walk in and stop to admire the staircase first, but this girl walked straight in turned left went up to a particular photo in a large display on the wall.

She looked at the photo for a while, this is when i started to get uneasy when she just turned her head and look and smiled at me as if she new I was there all the time when I was thinking she did not now i was there.

Then she turned and walked out the way she came, still sitting there i was a bit stunned and mind was working over time, I thought there must be a reenactment or some filming going on within the grounds, I rushed out looked around but nothing was outside the castle.

On my dinner break I went to the parks cafeteria and tourist info and tried to find out if there was any thing going on that would explain what i had seen but there was nothing on that day or any thing arranged during that week, I did not tell any one at that time.

I went back to my post and then I went over to have a look a what she was looking at I am being totally honest she was in the photo.

I did some investigation and apparently this girl died in a horse ridding accident.

Yes your right the T.V programmes make me cringe and angry to be honest. I spent the best part of twenty years supressing (it) !!! ......I dont like it when mediums refer to it as a gift, its not as we all have it. Its a very personal story for me and I would be happy to share with you but not on a public forum maybe it we ever met......If you can get a book called life after life by Raymond Moody it will give you more insight on the why spirit may make contact in the days after.

I know this may sound corney or odd but it is the truth: one night around 6 months ago I woke up to find what I would describe as A guardian Angel with his arms stretched out sat over my husband. It was obvious I wasn't suppose to have seen him as he looked at me and then just vanished. I wasnt dreaming this and I could clearly see it was a male guardian angel. I woke my hubby up to tell him. He was a little worried thinking something was going to happen if his guardian angel was there. I felt very privileged and comforted to have see it and knowing we all have Guardian Angels watching over us even when we are asleep in our beds.

It's this one......fascinating book, I have lots more recomendations for books, authors etc on this subject. If I sold my minature library I could buy myself that Hymer :rolleyes2:...............Many years ago there was a lady called Doris Stokes, in my honest opinion she was the real deal. If you can get hold of her books they are a good read.

Dream tunnel

Hi Morgan

I was coming back from the pub one night walking in a dark tunnel it was cold damp and very clammy,a head of me was a small hovering light and as I walked it grew bigger and bigger and I could feel a wind in my face and as it came closer and closer,the wind became so strong I tripped over a cold steel bar on to my face, as the bright light and the wind sucked at my very soul,as it passed me missing me by inches. I rolled over to see bright red light vanishing into the dark damp tunnel!!!.

Do ghosts exist?

I worked with a guy who was a real honest guy, not the brightest of chaps but really not the sort to tell lies.

He told us he had come into work at 5am to start his shift as a boiler man in a old victorian hospital and there was a man and a woman dancing in the old boiler house. He said they turned and looked at him and then walked through a wall where an old doorway had been bricked up.

In many cases I would have been sceptical but this guy was so honest and had nothing to gain by the story.

My wife also swears she saw a ghost in her bedroom when she was young.

Me I've never seen a thing.

So I wonder has anyone else got any stories to share.

when i was younger i was homeless for some years,quite happily,and slept out most nights,which of course is illegal.but i soon discovered the safest place from the cops is old cemeteries,never got discovered in one.anyway i would love to have seen a ghost,especially as some nights i had trouble sleeping,it would have been fascinating.i,ve slept in many a derelict house with all their creaks and groans and graveyards all over the place,and stonehenge before it was nicked. nothing.not a spook or wraith in sight,very disappointing

My Mum is very much into Spiritualism and all things ghostly. Back in the 1960's she took me with her when she went to see a Medium. I was very sceptical and wasn't taking anything very seriously so was determined to only answer questions with a yes/no answer so she couldn't use anything I said to form any predictions. I was very surprised when she didn't ask me anything except for my christian name, she proceeded to tell me things about my now husband that I knew nothing about. I had only had one date with him, so on the second I repeated what I had been told and he was stunned! Everything she said was true and as a result I am a bit more of a believer. I have never seen a ghost (thank goodnes as I think I would die of fright) but I do believe there is something more than this life.

I also had a gypsy knock on my door selling lucky white heather! She did pick up some stuff from the house and surroundings so I didn't take much notice, but after I paid her she said "lady you are expecting and it will be a boy" I didn't know at the time whether this could possibly be true, but it turned out it was and I did have a boy. I wont ever cross a gypsy - just in case!!

Hi n,brown,

Himbenny, is always saying to me but why havent I seen or heard anything ? he comes from a family of total sceptics and was brought up to believe that is all just nonsense, they are a family of athiests and believe when your gone your gone 'end of' of course nothing wrong with that I respect their views and they mine.....I just say that its like a frequency that perhaps needs tuning in. As for Stonehenge why do you think I like going there so much ?? :scared:

I have an open mind but am usually skeptical in such matters: however, here is an account of a conversation I had with a barrister three or four weeks ago when we shared a lunch break during some Court proceedings:
She told me of her experience in a farm house she had owned in the South Yorkshire village of Heptonstall. Whilst in bed one night with her husband by her side she saw a man walk into the bedroom though the door didn't open. the man then first sat on her bed and then lay down directly on top of her, She told me she could feel the weight of the man on her. She told her husband who admitted to her that he had had a similar experience but had chosen not to say anything. The couple were so concerned that they asked the local clergyman to arrange an exorcism. The manifestations didn't end then but they became fewer. Some time later she met the previous owner of the house who said to her, "have you met the lodgers yet?".
This person was educated and intelligent and ther was no agenda in her narrative other than the passing of a little time in conversation during lunch . I have no reason to disbelieve her but you may make of it what you will

The wife and I both saw a ghost at the same time.

It wasn't human, it was our cat. He had died that afternoon and I wrapped him up and put his body to one side (I was on nightshift and was woken by the wife when she found him).

As we went out in the dark with a torch, 'he' ran along the top of the wall and disappeared into the dark. We were shocked and ran to where I had left him and sure enough he was still there dead as a Dodo.

We lived in a fairly isolated farm cottage, so it could not have been another cat. He was a Ginger Tom with distinctive white markings, so there could be no mistake.

We originally found him as a half dead stray and took him in. What a wonderful animal he was. People who did not like cats liked him. He even brought up 3 puppies better than their mother did.

He was just giving us his thanks for a good life before he passed over.

There seems to many stories like this told by reliable people.
Really interesting.

I've heard a similar story about a spirit laying on someone but not about feeling the weight.

 

[Deleted member 14127]

I do believe....... I do........ I do - and when I've got more time I will tell you all about it.

I've had many experiences during my life, including as a child.

We stayed at Ford Widley in Portsmouth a few weeks ago which was an amazing experience. The tunnels below the training ground, where we stayed, are home to many lost souls. :scared:
