Has anyone ever seen a ghost?

Never seen one - but I was feeding my baby the other night and I swear I felt someone touch my left shoulder...not just a gentle thing that could have been, like I really felt something I got so scared!!! Told myself it was just because I was tired and was imagining it 😂

I think so! I used to work nights, so maybe I was imagining it. It was in a care home and in those days you worked on your own. When I was doing checks every hour upstairs I swear that there was someone behind me and the same when going down. The residents were unable to get out of bed, so it wasnt them. Then once at the top of the stairs I saw a white swirly light, there were no windows to reflect anything.

Yes. In broad daylight, on a bus. My son was with me and saw exactly the same thing.

Love these threads.

I've had some experiences I can't explain but actually seeing- no.

MrsWarleggan · 30/06/2020 13:48

I haven't, but I do like the idea of seeing my nanny who died 2 months ago....although I would probably shit myself!!! 😂

Someone, or should that something, tapped me on the shoulder whilst I was having a meal in a restaurant about ten years ago.

I even looked around to see if anyone had walked behind me. No one else about though...

Sunnydayshereatlast · 30/06/2020 14:10

Common knowledge in our family we have a spook. Over the years I have seen him twice but from the back only. Not just me has heard him laugh and playing with you cars - that clashing of plastic noise...
Only outside the family member was now exmil. She was babysitting our baby once. She said she hadn't known my older ds was there but had seen him come downstairs and go back to bed.
Ds 5 wasn't there..
Loads of instances...

Adirondack · 30/06/2020 14:10

I’ve never seen anything exactly, buthave seen what I’d describe as flickering movements just out of the corner of my eye

Babyroobs · 30/06/2020 14:15

I've felt one brush past me and a colleague saw him at the same time.

Shelleymoon · 30/06/2020 14:16

Spiderlight
Can you tell us what you saw on the bus with your son?

Laburnam · 30/06/2020 14:17

Yes my estranged father

Bunnymumy · 30/06/2020 14:17

Yeh. Once. Horrible black shadow thing. Came from something artifacty tho so didnt just happen to be donnering through lol. So hopefully the first and the last time.

Has anyone in the home been... at the board or doing spells or taking in dodgy objects...or is it a new home where someone else could have been at that before you?

I think you probably know if it was something.

But maybe if it was then it wasnt anything bad.
Hopefully that is all there was to it and if it was something then it will go away now.

EdgarAllenCrow123 · 30/06/2020 14:18

No. Because they don't exist. Plenty of people will tell you they have though

Cherrybakewellard · 30/06/2020 14:21

This is probably very outing and isn't directly ghosts but I have met a ghost in my dream. He told me to find the button, showed me it and it looked a button with wings and some specific words on.
I told my mother in law as he told me where to find this button. It was somewhere amongst acres and acres of farmland.
Mother in law and I both shat ourselves when a man turned up at her door the next day having found the button in her fields and asking if he could keep it.

user001938580 · 30/06/2020 14:22

Yes!

I visited greyfriars bobby graveyard when I was around 15 with friends and her family.

I shit you not there was ghosts sitting around in groups. White human shaped figures. I also seen a huge black figure.

There was also a stone thrown and smacked me in the head and we were the only ones there all walking in a line holding hands.

I don't tell anyone this as who the fuck would believe it

Adirondack · 30/06/2020 14:29

@user001938580 it is definitely a strange graveyard that’s for sure. Especially the Victorian bit with all those upright wall type graves with little railings around. What were the ghosts doing? Were they looking at you?

HelpMeh · 30/06/2020 14:29

No, but having experienced what must've been some kind of sleep paralysis, I can see why people do. It was very recent and very bizarre.

I pinged wide awake in the early hours of the morning facing sideways and there was a woman sitting on my bed. She seemed to be talking to someone behind me but I couldn't hear her. I couldn't move, but I was awake. And conscious that I was awake. But also aware that she wasn't real. I closed my eyes and reopened, hoping she would disappear but she didnt 😱 Probably another five seconds passed before she faded.

The brain is weird.

SassenachWitch · 30/06/2020 14:32

I've never seen a ghost, but funny you should mention the shoulder thing, my left shoulder was poked last week, a definite poke, that made me look behind me.

My sister reckons it was a nerve twitching, but it was very strange, and I'm not woo at all.

Inkpaperstars · 30/06/2020 14:33

No.

puzzledpiece · 30/06/2020 14:34

Yes, I saw the ghost of the old lady downstairs who had died weeks before. (At my mother's house). She was standing just behind him as she always did, only her face was in shadow. It was daylight, and she looked normal. DH and DS stood next to me didn't see anything. I didn't even know she had died until I asked my mother who the old lady was staying with the old man.

Inkpaperstars · 30/06/2020 14:34

But also want to know what was on the bus @spiderlight!

puzzledpiece · 30/06/2020 14:37

Not personally seen anything related to this incident, but one ward at the local hospital has had loads of spooky things happening. Reports from quite sensible nurses, no hysterical people normally. Turns out Harold Shipman was a house officer on that ward.

Aposterhasnoname · 30/06/2020 14:38

We were walking around the grounds of a very old church when we stopped to catch a pokemon admire the architecture. A youngish lad walked past us, wearing earphones and carrying a backpack. He went down the steps to the gate and vanished. When we followed seconds later the gate was locked with a very old padlock and chain that clearly hadn’t been opened for years. There’s no way he climbed over the railings without us seeing at the were so high.

I love this graveyard. So atmospheric!

BeyondDreamsOfBeyondFourWalls · 30/06/2020 14:47

I was once sat on the floor cleaning something when I felt a whoosh through me and saw kind of a grey cloud surround me and whoosh through the wall. Honestly I'd sceptically guess I had some sort of seizure, but there's an element of "what if..."
