To ask for your woo tales?

@Itsthesameoldstory poor ghost stuck wearing 70s clothes for eternity! This is why you should choose your outfits very carefully, if you die today they will become your ghost clothes!

For goodness sake, I noticed that you were responding to quite a few people, as did others. You are looking to take offence where none was meant. I was offering you an opinion/explanation of why others may have thought it was odd. No one has said you cannot post. Post away!! Post every day!!

I must admit I find these responses off certain users bizarre.... Why attack op when the thread was running nicely beforehand and I can't see op has said or done anything wrong... I was enjoying this thread, can we stop de-railing please
Anyway, I have a few stories to share :

My father died in 2021 of covid, he always since I've even been young worn the same aftershave and shortly after his passing, I kept smelling his distinct smell of after shave especially when I had him on my mind and was grieving him... I also was speaking about him with my dh and one of his favourite songs came on the radio... Could just be a good coincidence I suppose but who knows?

Second story is I used to work for 5 yrs in a high street shop that was a bit spooky... in the stock room it felt like you wasnt alone and was always being watched.. sometimes I'd see things out of the corner of my eye and once I saw a man in 70s clothing in the main staff room as I was walking in.. I looked down at something I had in my hand and back up and he vanished.. I wasn't really concentrating on him at first due to having papers in my hand and busy thinking about work, but you know when you look back up again at someone especially as he was wearing out of date clothes, I did that to see he vanished... If I wasn't so pre occupied maybe I'd have had a better longer look at him.. I only saw him the once . I also once had items on a shelf when I was alone one morning just fly off in front of me, that was unnerving as there was no way anyone was there to possibly do it as I was opening up shop alone early one morning .

I'll try to add more later on .

Perhaps it’s because you’ve responded 37 times on the same thread. It’s just an opinion from someone. It didn’t seem unkind more an observation. You say yourself you aren’t the best at communicating and now jumped to say people are being unkind. Leave people to their own opinions. I’ve enjoyed the stories as well.

Come on, who doesn't love a woo thread?

Some write effortlessly and smoothly and others do not.

There's room for everyone on here - as long as they are polite & respectful.

I'm enjoying the thread Tellme - thanks for posting!

I'm not sceptical about the stories. I'm cynical about why the thread was started. There's a difference.

I had extremely lucid recurring dreams when I was tiny, like 3 years old, that I remember to this day, and also in my late teens when I was going through some awful family stuff. I remember feeling both times that each had huge significance and had led to something protecting me, or letting me escape from something that could in real life have harmed me. Such a strange feeling!

A few years ago I was sleeping home alone, and I thought I was awake (I'm assuming it was sleep paralysis/night terror, which I've never had before or since), and suddenly a small child appeared and ran around to my side of the bed, which was totally freaky. The little kid was really hazy, almost like a TV with really bad reception. I just stayed awake after that.

That's lovely.

I wore my dad's FitBit for a while after he died as it felt like a connection, particularly as he was so into weights, running and fitness.

Loving this thread some very interesting posts.
Not sure what to think of mine and I don't tell many people because I feel I sound mad tbh 😂 anyway I lost my mum 6 years ago which I still haven't truly come to terms with especially as she was so young. We were extremely close.
On her funeral day a white butterfly came over, obviously didn't think anything of it at the time.
However we then all saw it again at the wake and it stayed for a few hours circling around.
Since then whenever I am upset, really worried about something, or me and my children visit her grave, there is always a white butterfly. I like to believe it is her telling me everything will be ok.

This got a bit more weird a few days ago, myself & my partner are currently trying to conceive, 18 months so far & nothing, now this week I am extremely late for my period so having been testing far too much, getting myself really worked up, upset etc, a few days ago I was sat in the garden crying, trying to pull myself together. The white butterfly flew round over me for a few minutes then went again.
Same the night after, I was sitting out but this time there was a white butterfly and a brown one following it, I lost my brother 5 months ago too, but definitely found some comfort from this even if I do sound mad

I find it interesting that so many sightings are of children. Do you think it's because they passed before their time?

Oh OP, my post was nothing more than a gentle ribbing, don't take it to heart, there was no negativity or disrespect intended.

I suppose I found many of your posts & responses a little strange or stilted. You also seemed very keen to keep up the momentum of the thread. It didn't seem entirely natural. I enjoy these threads too when they come round but surely you can accept that they run out of steam.

Besides, my glitchy post was genuine & it & your responses have helped keep the thread running.

Following! 👻

My Dad, who died in 2010 and my eldest daughter were very close. He died when she was 17 and moments after he died she thought to stop the time on the watch he was wearing. Some time after I gave the watch to her to keep, she put it away safely in an old glasses case of his in a drawer in her bedroom. A few years later she went travelling on her own for a month. I was delighted for her but worried at the same time. She rang me one day and asked me could I check the glasses case for the watch. When I asked her why she said as she had dropped her room key into her bag, she heard it clink off something. When she looked in her bag to see what it was, it was Dad’s watch! There was no way she had brought it with her for fear of something happening to it. I double checked the glasses case in her room for her as she thought she was going mad and there was no watch there. I like to think it was Dad’s way of keeping an eye on her when she was far from home :)

Placemarking so I remember to come back and write mine - I'm one of 'those' people who this stuff happens to all the time 😂🙄

It's funny but the flat had a really nice atmosphere in general, except from time to time, and even the it wasn't really sinister more unnerving.

With regard to the little boy, yes, it did unnerve me, but more from the point of view that after the fact I realised something weird had happened not during the events. If I hadn't had a son of a similar age and size my answer would probably be quite different though lol x

From a spiritual point of view I try to adopt the thought that fear feeds anything negative or weird, which takes practise for sure but nothing "bad" ever happened and I'm sure it was because we just behaved as if we had (mostly) invisible lodgers.

I think disembodied sounds are definitely the creepiest though.

If you like paranormal shows I recommend a YouTube channel called Ghost Theory. The two guys on it are pretty funny but also serious about their investigations often debunking themselves. However they've caught some pretty interesting stuff, especially in their latest episode 😊

Please don't pull it . Loving it . If people want to be skeptical then that's up to them . Until it happens to them .
