Ghost in house

[zodiackelly]

Okay so I've been feeling like there's something in my house lately, get the feeling I'm being watched and mentioned this to a friend who goes ghost hunting, who told me to try and communicate with it. I've got this week off work and home alone, so thought it was the best time to try as don't want to scare anyone.

I called out to it and a few moments later the delivery driver knocks on the door, pure coincidence or is this thing using real events to respond to me? Oh also I woke up this morning and tap was running?? I'm a light sleeper so would know if it was dh or dd in middle of the night. I feel quite uncomfortable sat here am I being paranoid?

Page, yes, scary even on a second viewing, incredibly well constructed.

Thought the last season was a disappointment but the first three were excellent.

I've never seen Series 4. I'll watch it one day for Rupert Penry Jones completeness, but I missed it when it was on TV and Netflix only have 1-3 at present.

It's got good points - including ghost and woo matters! - so it is worth a watch. I'm probably annoyed because if they'd matched the standard of previous seasons, they could have done more.

There is a good joke based on Rupert sans shirt as well. I'd say look out for it but it sounds like you won't miss it, lol.

Did no one look up the Shivering Chicken of Highgate? I live in hope of someone seeing that.

Hi all, just a quick update.

Woke up Monday morning to find hubby had deep, long red scratches down his back that weren't there when we went to bed. Sleeping was strange that night, lots of tossing and turning and waking up every other hour. I mentioned that I had been feeling off in the house and he simply laughed and said he must have been scratching himself in his sleep... but I don't buy this. He said we're not getting priest in and that I'm being paranoid - thinks it's down to hormones (I recently found out that I'm pregnant)

I don't know what to do and feel really scared and on edge at home...

Being completely honest I did LOL at the delivery driver post OP but if you want to put your own mind at ease you could set up a camera, just don't get caught doing something you shouldn't in case it falls into the wrong hands.

Wes cravens New Nightmare starts off like this...

Maybe you should prepare yourself for things to come by giving it a watch.

I often scratch my back in my sleep. Ghosts don't exist but feel free to believe in nonsense if it makes you happy. Some body lotion to moisturise his back and opening a window might be just as good for a restful night's sleep though.
Remember that you can't prove a negative.

Yikes!

On a separate note, I've just remembered, there was an episode of Whitechapel where the murderer was such a mystery, people thought it was a ghost.

OP, if you are telling the truth here then I suggest you get yourself onto a board dealing with spiritualist/metaphysical matters because frankly, you are pissing in the wind here. Spirit activity, benign or otherwise, is indeed very much real. Anyone saying it isn't does not know what they are talking about and clearly has no experience of it whatsoever. Two boards that I have found helpful for my own situation (benign, non harmful) are Spiritual Forums and Anybody There. Both have lovely, helpful, knowledgeable folk who will do their best to help you to understand what is going on. Good luck.

"Ghosts don't exist but feel free to believe in nonsense if it makes you happy. "

You haven't got a clue, my dear. But feel free to continue with your ignorance and arrogance if it makes you feel better.

You haven't got a ghost in the house...seriously, you haven't.
No one has.

I'll say it once more - you're pissing in the wind here. Head where you'll be taken seriously and be offered help and advice.

Op I think it will be a wonderful idea for you to join Liz over at "ghosts are us" where you can all give significance to insignificant things.

I have got a clue. Ghosts, santa, fairies at the bottom of the garden, UFOs full of aliens who abduct you during the night and do experiments on you; all nonsense. Keeping woo believers together in their own fora for suggestible people sounds like a good idea.

But I want updates!

What, from the ghost? Have a day off..

Personally, I'd be looking for a rather more, ahem, physical cause of those scratches.

I would really like to hear about the daughter using the cat flap for fresh air OP? It was a few pages back and sadly I think most people missed it.

We've got a cat flap, but it's not our first choice when it comes to fresh air .....

Hi ZKelly, not sure if you are still watching this thread, but I believe you. Both myself and my DS have been deeply scratched in the shower, dog barks and runs backwards away from chair in living room, my belongings are constantly moving themselves to odd places and the other day I felt someone sigh loudly in my ear - I was home alone! I know this may be unbelievable to many of you but this sort of thing has happened to me for the past twenty-odd years. My husband, who is a complete non-believer, was amazed one evening when large, dark see-through orbs floated across the room - he admits to seeing them but says there must be a scientific reason for them!
Not currently worried but will be home alone (with faithful, ghost-sensing dog) for several days.

I saw a ghost once. A T Rex.

I am a septic. I have had one all experience but would say I am still a skeptic.

2000/2001 we lived in a shared rented terraced house. House of 'young professionals' - everyone at work except me (I was visiting BF (now DH) for the week - I was still at uni). I know house was empty as had seen everyone leave during the morning and had been home all day.

Lunchtime - I'm standing in the rather long kitchen making sandwiches when I see something out of the corner of my eye. It disappears as I turn my head fully but from what I could make out it was a floor length hooded robe that glided (not walked) across the back room from what would have been the window to somewhere into the wall with the understands cupboard. I was a good 4 metres away - definitely a 'person' in shape and I don't recall any limbs.

Didn't particularly want to walk back through the back room to get to our bedroom, but it didn't feel uncomfortable. I never mentioned anything to bDH.

Fast forward about 6 months - Friday night, me and DH somehow get ontona convoluted supernatural discussion whereupon DH lets slip that be had seen something whilst standing in the kitchen and goes on to describe my hooded figure in detail - same movement, same direction, same lack of limbs, same hooded robe. Hadn't said anything previously as didn't.want to freak me.out.

As a side note I was in my last year of a psychology degree and one of the modules we could take was about parapsychology. Lecturer was keen and had done lots of work - described situation in a factory where workers felt uneasy, items moving etc. They narrowed it down to some sort of low frequency soundwaves from air con unit - they calculated length of wace and every point they calculated a peak/trough would in wave would be where tools/equipment vibrated, staff felt uneasy etc. Got rid of air con unit and got rid of problem.

I think my hooded figure must have been similar - both of us were standing in same place which was about metre away from fridge. Presume it was low frequency soundwaves messing with our heads.

Still skeptical - brains/bodies are mostly water and smallest vibrations are going to alter senses/cause hallucinations etc. Also think that if a 'ghostly entity' why did it look exactly the same/do exactly the same thing each time? Why not be a bit more autonomous.

No idea what it was but pretty much convinced it has an explanation - no matter how strange.

Also need to check for typos. Bloody autocorrect! I am definitely NOT septic

Only one way to find out for sure. Use a ouija board.

I believe you OP. Has no one here seen with their own eyes nearly headless Nick on that documentary about wizards?
