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

Hmmm that story has been told several times on MN with varying details. Very similar, same keywords - little girl "sobbing her heart out" and "ringlets". Sometimes blonde, sometimes not. And crying about a lost key because it made her family homeless...in York.

So, lots of people have witnessed the same haunting!

ETA - one person reports seeing <ghosty thing> - nah, you're mistaken, love. Lots of people report seeing the same <ghosty thing> - well, that is solid proof that the <ghosty thing> is all made up.

And these same people pooh-poohing ghostly things will then claim there's no evidence.

Fascinating, would you mind sharing what you experienced?

Electrical items switching themselves on and off . Objects such as a pair of scissors disappearing for ages and then reappearing. Lights being switched on and off . Footsteps above , I once woke to see a dark entity bent over me , her partner experienced the same . We had a lot of very bad luck , plus we argued a lot in that house . When we moved the friction and bad luck stopped. She experienced the same .

Do you mind if I ask - did the scissors appear in the exact same spot at which you'd last seen them or always kept them?

No they were originally in a drawer . We found them on the sofa , about a year after they had vanished.

Things appearing and reappearing are strange. I lost a special ring in my bedroom a year ago but I think it’s fallen somewhere I can’t see/get to rather than spooky.

I’ve had a few. I was out once at about 14 in an old bowling alley. I’m just laughing and joking and suddenly I feel a hand slam onto and grab my right shoulder. I jump out of my skin and look behind me - no one there. No one could see anything. Something didn’t seem to like me there and I was shaken.

when I was about 10 I was in the Thackray medical museum in Leeds. In the “street” bit, I could feel a whoosh of cold air around my legs, but only my legs. The rest of me was warm. Then I went into the room where they used to have the amputation but and I just felt cold, sick, and looking I wasn’t welcome. There was only me and my grandad in there and I told him I wanted to leave. Very weird.

I was once looking after grandmas house while they were away abroad. It’s an old Victorian terrace. I was in the bath and I heard someone shout my name, there was only me in the house! The next thing I remember, I’m under the water in the bath. I sit up, I wasn’t breathing as I wasn’t coughing. I hear it again. I fully believe it was my great grandma who died when I was 2 and a half. The same great grandma has been felt put her arms round anyone who sits in her rocking chair at my great-uncles house, her son, my grandmas brother.

I am very woo though.

I'm not sure I agree with that.

Most people I know that have claimed to see a ghost have been laughed out of town - until those that mocked have seen the same thing as well !

Yet no-one has given a scientific explanation....

Edited

Have they been properly investigated by impartial people?

Thank you.

I've had two items disappear in this way in the last few years.

Both turned up exactly where I would have lain them down - one after six months, the other after a few hours.

That's difficult because they don't know when the manifestation is going to happen.

Those few people I know that have seen ghosts take the attitude that if they aren't malevolent they can live with them !
