Tell us your ghostly encounters or even make it up. We don't care as long as we get goose bumps.....

When my mum was pregnant with me, my dad was driving home one night along a fairly winding road. He said someone said to him “slow down” as clear as if they were in the car with him. He did slow down and went round a bend to find an accident totally blocking the road.

My husband and I were staying with friends on the IOW and when we went to bed, I was falling asleep when I heard “hellohellohellohello” whispered over and over again in my ear. I kind of moved just as my husband sat up and said “who is that” as we both saw a shadow go past the end of the bed.

Then we both just went back to sleep but on the way home the next day we were like “what the hell happened last night”.

Oh that’s really sad, Redshoes.

[Redshoesandtheblues]

Ignore the stray 'it'. I was just trying to type quickly whilst i had picture in my mind.

[Redshoesandtheblues]

My sis reminded me of another one. I only have vague recollection after a certain point but i do remember playing with the boy.

We had gone to see some people. I was 4. They were all stood about it, adults and teenagers. I was standing on my own and saw a boy peering round the garage. He waved. I waved back and he beckoned me over.

No one was taking an interest, so off i trotted and met up with him. I still remember us playing, laughing and talking.
Then he wanted to show me his favourite place.

It was well out of sight and i had been brought up well enough not to wander.....but i followed him . To a very well covered pond.

He jumped in, clothes and all and I was shocked. He encouraged me to join him but i had new dress on and didn't like water.
I refused but sat by pond talking to him, telling him he was in big trouble for getting his clothes wet.

Sis said they found me there, carted me off and i was yelling and screaming about my friend in the pond.

Yup, he wasn't real. Had died in pond 2 years before.
Apparently i described him very well and our families never met again.
Thst still bugs me.

I sleep with landing light on anytime I'm alone. And low light bedside lamp.

[TuttiFrutti123]

Well guess who had to sleep with the light on last night after reading this thread before bedtime

I never learn!

[Redshoesandtheblues]

Wagsandclaws Is it only me having a snigger at loving in a haunted house and then the correction living in a hunted house?

[Zaphodsotherhead]

I think the idea of your dad sleeping under your bed is almost more scary than the dog story, SamBeckett!

[pemberlyshades]

[Redshoesandtheblues]

These are quite scary. Edam that is a real sense of someone looking after your sister.

A friend just moved into a house near mine and I went for a nosy the other day. It’s a very old house. While we were walking along an upstairs corridor it suddenly occurred to me to ask if the house was haunted. Not something I’d normally ask, certainly not about someone’s new home, and not when it’s a friend I don’t actually know that well! I wouldn’t say I had a weird feeling exactly, but something about the corridor inspired me to ask.

She looked a little odd and said “Funny you should ask that...” and then went on to tell me how her cleaner had heard someone upstairs and assumed it was her husband, only to find no one there when she went up. And on another day her babysitter had heard noises up there and gone up to tell the dc to get back into bed and stop roaming around, only to find they were fast asleep.

This is my mum's story. She was 17 and studying for exams. She was sitting at a table beside a large window when the phone rang.
She left the room to answer the phone, which was out in the hall. When she answered, there was nobody on it line and suddenly there was a huge explosion.

When she went back into the room where she was studying, there was an eight inch shard of glass impaled in the book she'd just been hunched over.

Sometging in the electricity substation at the back of their garden had exploded!

[theneverendinglaundry]

Oh I love these threads!

When I was perhaps 7/8 we went on a family holiday, staying in an apartment. I shared a room with my sister. One night she was fast asleep and as I looked at her bed, I could see a white figure stood over her, swinging what looked like an axe at her neck. The face of that figure looked so full of rage.

I know it sounds cheesy, but to this day I can still remember it like it was yesterday!

[73kittycat73]

@Redshoesandtheblues that last story of yours really spooked me last night, I went to bed with the lamp on!

[MsMustDoBetter]

DS had spent his 12th night in PICU and started with diarrhoea so isolated into a room. I stood looking over him in the bed (it had been so stressful moving him on the ventilator that his heart rate kept dropping dramatically) ...out of the corner if my eye stood next to me was about a 5 year old boy with tousled brown hair in a striped long sleeved t shirt and Jean's. ...... looked again and he was gone...asked PICU nurse I saw in cafe a couple of days later had anything been seen and she described the child and explained how he passed as she was there.....we serving PICU for 19 days and two parents left without there children.

My bro just mentioned the 3rd freaky incident, I referred to in previous post.
I'll try and explain in as best as i can but I'll do it from my view and their view.

My view - I woke up and saw a black dense curtain being circled around my bed. Like hospital curtains being pulled around.

I could see the ceiling and light from landing, but everything else was just black. I thought I was half asleep and thought no more.

Until a very white hand and arm stretched through the darkness near to my face ànd fully turned towards me.
I remember screaming and throwing myself against the farthest corner. Which wasn't far.

Bro's version.
He heard me screaming. Rushed in , but couldn't see anything in the area where my bed was. He said it was totally black. He screamed too.

He flipped light swìtch on, but still saw my bed covered in darkness.
Second bro rushed in , and dived straight into the darkness.
I had fainted, he pulled me out and got me out of room.
He said later, much later, it had taken all his strength to get me out of bed and he had never felt cold like it. Said it was chilling.

That's the short version.

One of brother's wont talk about it even now.

[Spied]

Last night I was laid in bed reading.
Turned over to switch off my lamp and I just knew the lamp was going to switch off by itself. It did. I switched it back on so it wasn't the bulb.
When I mentioned it today to do he told me he felt someone push him a few days ago when he walked to the bathroom and apparently he saw a man sized shadow stood watching him one night after an argument when he slept on the sofa.
He never thought to mention it

*lived in a hunted house

[Wagsandclaws]

I have loved in a Haunted house, so many things happened to me and various friends and family members.

Once when my Mum and I were leaving on the school run ( I was about 15 ) we both turned around to look back at the house ( it was quite rural with only a couple of neighbours ) and saw this large black mass leaning out through my bedroom window. Both turned to each other and said ' did you see that?'

When my dad died ( my parents got divorced and he stayed in the house whilst she MJ ed to somewhere smaller - this was when I was 28. My then DexH and I bought the house out from my two brothers, he worked away during the week and I do not know how I lived there knowing what I did about the stuff that used to happen by myself but I did!

So many things to tell and lots of witnesses, I'm very good at explaining things usually but voices mimicking mine when my mother was alone in the house babysitting Ect I just can't explain 🤷‍♀️

[PixieDustt]

Out*

[PixieDustt]

@Redshoesandtheblues I'm the same! None of my chairs are placed where my back will be against the door! The one time I did I was looking at myself in my phone camera to see what my new glasses looked like. Didn't take a picture but went to swipe off the camera app to see a big built man and an old women standing to the right side of me, I think it was my grandad and nan -shudder-

Also my mums friend had cancer, walking down the stairs casually when I see by the front door some heels. I thought random why are there heels there no one really wears them in this house. My mum got a phone call 10 minutes later to say that friend has passed away. Never knew at the time but mum said that friend always wore heels. Went back to check, no heels there!

I have a lot more but it would put me if someone I knew was on here 😳

[Redshoesandtheblues]

So, I try to rearrange where im sitting if Im at a desk.

Just bought a new desk and have to rearrange whole room, despite DH saying.....'it will work better here.'
I say I like to see the door. No matter what I'm doing.

[Redshoesandtheblues]

And I cant bear to have back to door.

[Redshoesandtheblues]

@bobstersmum No - both the truth. There is a third, but that was really freaky as bro saw it too.
