There's a ghost in my house .....

[wooo69]

I have never believed in ghosts, however some background – I live in an old woollen mill that has been converted into 35 apartments and have been here 10 years. There is evidence in the local churchyard of mill workers who died at work and it was attacked by the Luddites. The My DD and GD used to live in another apartment and one morning all 4 taps in the bathroom were on full (GD was in a cot and not capable of getting out), there was no explanation, the taps were fully working and turned off as normal. When GD was nearly 3 she woke my DD one night with her crying, when DD went to her she said “I don't like Tom, tell him to go away”. DD said “Tom, GD doesn't want you here please go”. Nothing happened again.

Other residents have moved out because unexplainable things have happened.

Last night before I went to bed I took my glasses off and left them on top of a cabinet in the lounge as I do every night, I also plugged my phone into the charger again I do this every night.

This morning when I got up and came into the lounge I picked up my glasses, one of the lenses had fallen out and the screw that holds the lens in was on the floor. When I picked up my phone it hadn't charged and the connector that goes into the phone was bent at 90 degrees. There is only DH and I here and I was last to bed and first up.

Has a ghost decided to come and live here?

Possibly.

Although my glasses are a law unto themselves.

I frequently am convinced that I have done something but turns out I haven't.

But I also think we have a ghost.

When I become a ghost I will do more useful things like some housework, laundry. I am not going to spend all my time messing around with taps etc

If I come back as a ghost I'm going to make sure my activity is recorded properly for scientific purposes, not bugger around unscrewing spectacles.

I'm going to be a poltergeist

Our family has a ghost. Seen him twice -
So have others, (about 3yo) heard him giggle, play with toy cars, jump in beds! Switch lights on, open baby gates, all sorts!!.

THEY’RE HEEEEEEEREEEEE

When I become a ghost I will do more useful things like some housework, laundry

Fuck that. I'll have already had a life time of laundry and housework. When I die, assuming that I am denied entry to heaven, I am going to spend eternity having a laugh. No need to do anything seriously malicious but you've got to amuse yourself somehow haven't you.

I shall probably cackle and cause doors to blow open .

I think mine is useful also. I dropped a beautiful hand made enamelled earring in the rubbish - among used cat litter!! Decided it wasn't being retrieved!!. Weeks later both were in my jewellery box...

I will do ghost poos in weird places.

I don't believe in ghosts, if they existed we would have some sort of proof by now

I had an experience with a ghost once. Woke up one night to my bed moving and bedroom door swinging. Never been so fucking scared! Had just purchased my flat, went to estate agent the next morning to put it back on the market. I live in the UK, the night of my encounter was also the night of our Earthquake!!!

I won't be wasting my time doing woo shit, I'll be busy going to places in the world I've never been able to go to before. Invisibility is always my chosen super power if anyone asks what it would be.

Maybe. But it's Saturday and I'm in the mood for a woo thread.

Princess you can come and haunt me any day!

saucery as you were...

You see, that’s the problem these days. No one wants the Classic Haunting any more. Poor old Monty would turn in his grave. Or possibly wave a bedsheet about.

Our ghost has a fag at the bottom of the stairs every morning. I smell it every day but assumed it was the next door neighbours son having a crafty fag. Then the neighbours left and the house was empty for a few months and I still smell cigarette smoke at half 8.
I like to think it's an old lady having a fag while she sits on the bottom stair, on the phone to her daughter each morning.

Something in the building causing sleepwalking?

Ghosts don't exist. DM was a big believer and we debated it often. She died suddenly in the summer and if ghosts were real the first thing she would have done is laugh in my face and say I told you so.

I've told DH that if anything untoward happens and I die young then I want him to invite Yvette Fielding and Most Haunted to our house. Then when she is doing the "if you are here, make a noise" spiel I can waft through the wall and say hi. The screaming alone would be worth it.

We had ghosts (mostly animals I think) at our old house. Our new house has no ghosts and I feel a bit lonely without them.

I don't believe in ghosts but I think I saw one when I was about 4/5 I was in the living room watching TV with my Dsis, I saw a child running through a wall screaming then a man appeared holding a woman with a knife at her throat I just stared they were so real at the time and Dsis said she saw the same thing. Luckily we had a big house and mum moved the TV room to another room and we never went in that room again.

One night I was watching TV with the kids and I heard a loud bang from upstairs.

When I went upstairs to see what had happened, I found that the glass bathroom light fitting had unscrewed from the ceiling and landed intact on the floor.
