Not, caught something out the corner of your eye or felt a presence, I mean actually seen one, spoken to one etc?

im aware this sounds woo. I don’t think I do believe in them, never seen one but ppl I have spoken to say they have.

maybe some ppl are more receptive to these things or maybe it’s a trick of the mind?

just be interested in anyones experience really

A dog went up my wooden stairs the other day, except both of my dogs were sat with me at the time and there was no other animal in the house at the time (I checked in case something came in). One of my actual dogs heard it too and looked up, but didn’t go and see. It came back down a little later. I am in my family home where many dogs have lived

I’ve had an encounter in the least woo location ever….. Basingstoke & Deane borough council offices. Just to put another spin with a location which isn’t as far as I know spiritual and lacking history. This was about 25 years ago where both myself and a colleague saw the torso of a man stood next to us wearing a buttoned up work shirt. Would love to know if he’s still seen today.

No one has ever seen a ghost though. Just because they think they did, it doesn’t make it fact.

Just because you think they didn't doesn't make it fact either lol

Yes. But perhaps people will attribute my sighting to sleep paralysis, a dream state or something. I'll tell the tale about it anyway....

I was staying at my DH's flat years ago, with my DH sleeping on the sofa as he snores loudly. I was in the double bed, tossing and turning, anxious about a business trip the next day.

Was definitely awake, and not at all sleepy. Turned over to.face the door to the en suite and was pretty shocked to see a youngish woman in the bed laying next to me, asleep under the duvet. Her head was on the pillow, eyes closed, she was wearing what looked like a headband with a feather in it, almost like those ones that 1920s flapper girls would wear.

I bolted upright, gasped a bit then froze. I expected her to disappear but she didn't. Sat for another 20 seconds, and then realised she wasn't going away.😳😫

At that point, I considered poking her but definitely decided it was too scary so hid under the duvet like a small child 😄😅

I can still remember it clearly now after years. It was bloody terrifying to say the least!

That was definitely a dream. Why would a ghost get into a bed or sleep? How come your husband never saw it?

That isn't an argument. No-one can ever prove a negative. If I tell you there are blue honey monsters floating around, you can't prove that there is no such thing.

The fact remains that people have been trying and failing for centuries to prove ghosts actually exist. Doesn't that tell you anything?

I'm hypersensitive and have experienced supernatural events. I guess you can't convince someone unless they've experienced the same and that's ok. One day it will all become clear to you..

I am a nurse and I find it really amusing that people say ‘they do not exist’ when we can’t possibly prove it one way or another.

one of the rooms on my previous ward - the alarm would go off all the time, for no reason at all. Estates couldn’t find the problem, but many people had died in there. It happened almost every night. When we took breaks in there, I always felt like someone was watching me. The hairs on my arm would stand up and I would feel someone behind me. Of course, I never saw anything.

one night I looked up and saw the outline of a man who looked like he had strange skin. Turns out, the ward was an old burns unit (I didn’t know this at the time)

there were lots of strange things on that ward.
