Have you ever seen a ghost?

[SpikyHair]

I haven't. I'm curious but I don't think I'd want to see one, not if I was alone and scared anyway.

But Halloween is here (🎃 👻) and I keep reading spooky stories and it's got me thinking 😊

... Who on here has seen a ghost?

I've seen 2 and communicated with others. One oddly enough is my late FIL who turns up when there's a crisis, the other was deeply unpleasant and had to be moved on.
My dgm had a ghost in the house she was reared in

I keep seeing the resident ghost where I work. I pretend I haven’t seen him though. Don’t want him getting any ideas that I’d like to chat...

I don't believe in ghosts, but have twice been in a situation where I could almost believe in them. Once at work in an old building, and another time in a friend's medieval house.

I stayed in a supposedly haunted building this summer and didn't see or hear a thing. It was slightly disappointing - the publicity for the place included the presence of a ghost.

Yep. A few times.

Once at school, where I saw a woman in white at the end of the corridor in the cloakrooms. It seemed like it might have been one of the family who originally owned the house (which was turned into a school many years later).

My Sister and I both saw our Granddad in his old office on separate occasions after he died. His presence was very calming.

I don't see ghosts any more, it stopped when I was about 12.

Yes, and other members of my close family have too, a little boy. Heard him giggle and playing with toy cars!

I saw my gm, I keep asking her to come back but she hasn't so far.

Yes, twice! Not a thing I'd like to repeat.

Has anyone been in a situation where they AND a partner have both seen the same ghost, at the same time and could describe experience independently?

Not a ghost in like an apparition
But poltergeist activity yes- things flying off walls. Shelves falling down the corner of the mattress being lifted up. Unaccounted for Footsteps
Things being thrown across the room
In the house I grew up in

No ghosts but I regularly sit on the bench dedicated to my dear friend who died of MND. I KNOW he listens when I talk to him and I feel him talking back. He takes the piss out of me and laughs.

I know it sounds nuts, but I KNOW he is there.

@undercoverbanana that's really very lovely. How comforting for you.

Chickenwings85 - he was a very kind, caring friend who helped me a lot when I was in real trouble a few years ago. He will never really be gone because he lives on in all the people he showed so much love for. A very special man. MND is evil.

No and I don’t want too and they know I don’t want to.
However it doesn’t stop them coming to me...on account of the dowsing work to do.
I check from time to time if I’ve picked up any ‘lost souls’
Normally it’s a no, but I’ve been working in a very concentrated fashion and I think they’ve come along to have a nosey around.

However, last night I Dowsed around our caravan and found two. So I asked for them to be removed outside and that if they wanted to go to the light I would help them.

I’ve just checked and they haven’t come home with me...and I’ll help them out tomorrow probably if I have time.

My daughter and my ex husband regularly saw lost souls .
I have my house very well protected and if I do pick any up at all they tend to stay outside.

I’ve seen one. I cant talk about it in rl.

A loved one visiting you is very different from a lost soul.
Lost souls are just that. Earthbound and lost because they haven’t moved on for a variety of reasons.

A loved one who has passed over into the light will often visit whereas a lost soul is just stuck.
A miserable existence for them and they tend to leach energy away from you.

I have done in the past boopsy, it was a couple of years ago. I won’t relay it again. It’s been a huge thing for me. Or it was, I don’t think about it now.

Aw, man, Through, you're leaving us hanging!

My grandma and grandad, separately. My sweet little cat and a black cat. The black cat has been visiting for over twenty years. We see it when one of the family cats is dying. It's usually the clue as cats pretend to be okay. It was lovely and reassuring to see my grandparents. Dh heard our cat's toenails on the floor shortly after he died. My grandma moves stuff in all of our houses.
I'm a bit woo. I know things will or won't happen. I have deja vu etc. Get feelings about places and people.

@dontalltalkatonce - what happened??

Ooh, I’ve seen a black cat before my last 3 pets died too. None were cats though. He’s very real. The first time I searched the kitchen for him. I spent 10 minutes watching him walk around in there and disappearing when I went in. The second time I went straight to check on my pets. They were fine, but one died that night.

I saw my DGF in a shopping centre, 5 months after he died. It was him, in a greatcoat and winter hat, in July, (he died in the February) with a very distinctive profile. It was completely unexpected, and he turned and smiled at me. I met DH about a month later, who DGF would have loved. I think he knew. But then, I see so much of him in all 3 of my sons in different ways.
