I am curious if anybody here has seen any of these things , such as UFO or a ghost or what can be known as “fae”? I have once seen lights in the sky which could have been the Chinese lanterns, but I am open minded and interested in this subject

how true it is i dont know but back in the day project serpo and books by timothy good etc were good reading

but lets be real, if the galaxie charts by astronomers are real then it trully has to be stargate/ startrek in the galaxies

although i am intrested in parellel universes etc just wish we had a way to slide to different universes etc

I saw a ghost at a Lancashire campsite as a teen

I'm bit of daydreamer and always looking at the clouds in car and I have seen a few small balls, literally above the clouds. Always look the same and fast. I think nobody looks up ever anymore

Thanks you that sounds interesting.
i agree that if there are aliens visiting here then it must be via a stargate - though I too do think parallel universes might be a possibility

How did you know it was a ghost?

1978 down a country road which led to the next village where future DH lived.
There is a small chapel which was abandoned. Me and my now DH saw something hovering over the chapel with bright lights on. Both thinking it's a helicopter but silent.
Arrived at the garage area behind the house and a man was standing there and asked us had we seen anything. DH had never seen this man before or since. Only 12 houses area so new everyone.
Newspapers in that time only came out every month in the village.
Someone from another village had reported to the paper about bright lights over the chapel.
Nothing else was reported and no one responded. I have the clipping in my loft.
Even now we remember it.

Saw a ghost at castle museum York 27 years ago.

I saw a UFO in 1983. Lots of other people reported it at the time. I was 10 years old and playing out with my friends.

edwinbear · 26/07/2025 23:50

I grew up in a haunted house. It was actually exorcised by the previous owners but clearly didn’t work. We had a regular 10pm ‘visitor’ as a family we saw it every night, but so did any guests who happened to be staying. I had school mates who refused to have another sleepover again, my WW2 fighting, eminently sensible, Grandfather saw it every time he visited. DH, who doesn’t believe in ghosts, saw about 3 of them first time he came to stay - 25 yrs later he still maintains he saw ghosts. It actually became really quite normal - although I don’t really believe in them either. I’d love to know what the fuck was going on in that house though. We saw some weird shit on a daily basis.

What did the ghost(s) look like ? Did they interact ? Do you think it was like a “stone tape recording” as in like a recording in time?

I'm glad I moved out of my last flat when I did. Something would tamper with the recycling bin. You could hear the bin bag being moved. It only got to me once though and freaked me out, the rest of the time I was used to it. Things would also, with increasing regularity, fall over. 2Ltr bottles of pop, cans from the cupboards, etc. The most disturbing part though was I would wake with scratches, on my arms, legs, back, even stomach. Since moving it has all stopped.

I think you might have had mice, or worse…

Openmouthinsertfood · 27/07/2025 04:15

I think it was or worse. The bin bag phenomina actually followed me for a few addresses over a nunber of years. I know where it started from. I'm glad it hasn't followed me here!

BlueEyedBogWitch · 27/07/2025 04:18

I’ve seen ghosts over the years. First one was an old woman who just appeared in front of me when I was about three. She interacted with me - giggling and beckoning. I was terrified and ran away.

More recently, a man, whom I suspect was my dad, walked through my hall. I saw him out of the corner of my eye. He looked like a light silhouette, if that makes sense.

Between those, I’ve been aware of many presences: feeling people sitting on the bed, pushing doors open, calling my phone from a defunct number, moving things, banging on doors. Not every day, or even every year, but these things have happened.

I think I’m just tuned to pick this stuff up. Some of us are - like radios. We’re tuned to slightly different frequencies.

Velmy · 27/07/2025 04:30

Nobody has seen a ghost, because ghosts aren't real. Many people may think they have seen a ghost though.

A UFO, by definition, is something you can't identify. Many people will have seen things they couldn't identify.

calling my phone from a defunct number

You know that 'defunct' numbers get recycled right?

Believing that you've seen a ghost is one thing, believing that one has access to 5g is something else 😅

I think I've accidentally stumbled into a corner of MN that I'm nowhere near qualified to be in 😅

Lurkingandlearning · 27/07/2025 06:18

I saw two, one beside me and one in front of me. It was the middle of the night so it was probably a dream but it wasn’t like any dream I’ve had before or since. It wasn’t sleep paralysis where you feel a presence but can’t move. I moved very fast 😬

CurlewKate · 27/07/2025 06:54

I have seen/heard/sensed plenty of things that if I weren’t a rational, thinking person I might have believed to be otherworldly/paranormal. But I am, so I didn’t.

DinoLil · 27/07/2025 07:20

I've seen countless ghosts. Heard them.too. No UFOs though, although I've started watching live tiktok streams where they focus on the night sky to spot stuff.

Pricelessadvice · 27/07/2025 07:23

I saw an object move slowly but purposefully on its own several times when I was a teenager. I put the object back each time and within moments it moved again. It was witnessed by an older person and we still have no explanation. We checked the surface it was on and even put other objects in the same place to try and replicate what happened but they never moved.
Theres a bit more to this story but it’s quite outing.

That’s actually a relief.

I’ve asked lots of people why ‘Mum’ flashed up on my phone a few weeks after she died. We’d cleared her phone back to factory settings and given it to her friend.

I’ve googled like mad and couldn’t come up with an answer, so I’m glad to have one now.

I’m glad I’ve given a few people a laugh on a Sunday morning, anyway.
