Any way we could post ghost stories (personal happenings) without getting mocked?

I would like to think so, but it’s proven very, very difficult in the past…

Yeah, I’ve had a few. These experiences got me into paranormal investigation.

The one that convinced me was when I got touched. I was a teacher’s aide at a preschool and we were doing a spring cleaning day with the parents. I was standing in the middle of the room, leaning over a bookcase, no one or nothing around in my immediate area.

There was a little boy wandering around, so when I felt fingers brush across the back of my leg, I turned my head to look, expecting to see him. There was no one there, and realizing this, I looked around in alarm. The little boy was across the room and there was no one around me.

I later asked a teacher if the place was haunted and she said that it was supposed to be. That, amazingly enough, it had been built on a Native American burial ground – they found human remains when expanding the back playground fence a couple of earlier, had to stop digging, and bring in an archaeologist and anthropologist.

Creepy!

My grandmother had a ghost, or so she said, that lived in her house. Several of the realtives had their stories to tell about run ins with this ghost, so I absolutely believed she had one. I was at her house sitting in the kitchen talking to her, facing her, when a chair appeared to be dragged on all four legs across her kitchen, but there was no one dragging it. There was just me and grandma in the house. I looked at her, eyes wide open and she laughed and said, “oh that’s just my ghost.” I believe.

lol….haunted Teddy Ruxpin bear

6 friends and I stayed in a “haunted house” for a night….Some really weird shit happened that I can’t figure out…

we saw a chair move 3 feet by it’s self…no-one was near it…and it wasn’t attached to anything no wires, no track, no earthquake, not on a hill, flat floor

we heard someone walking upstairs…when no-one was up there…we searched everywhere…nothing

whispering coming from 3 of the walls…the people I was with wouldn’t let me “explore” the inside of the wall

and a bunch of other weird stuff…

So this was either a really well done hoax….or….. I don’t know

I haven’t had any experiences myself, but my fiance has had a few strange things happen. I’m not sure whether they’re actually paranormal or what, but he and some buddies used to like to explore abandoned buildings, cemeteries, etc. and has heard things a few times. Once a gravestone fell over after he walked across a grave (in a very old cemetery close to my hometown which is no longer used and hasn’t been for a long time). I don’t know what to think about that. I’m quite the skeptic, but I also know he wouldn’t lie to me.

I used to work at a football club, and the main stand, a structure about 100 years old with a bar and offices inside, was purportedly haunted by a poltergeist. There were two happennings I didn’t witness: glasses flying off a shelf in the bar, and a cupboard being moved in front of the door of an empty, locked room with no other exits or windows. The caretaker had to unscrew the door and lift it out. I personally witnessed several folders of papers fly off a shelf in the office, travelling horizontally for about 2 feet before falling to the floor. I checked the shelf afterwards, and it was stable, flat and secure.

A big chunk of my hair was lifted into the air, right in front of me, and was hanging there, above my head. It was attached to nothing – the ceiling was too far above me for it to have somehow gotten snagged. But I remember just standing there frozen, looking up at my hair – until I ran out of the room faster than I’ve ever run in my life.

That was the first of many, many, many experiences I had in this house.

Edit: And before anyone says anything, no, it was not static electricity. My hair wasn’t splayed out, it looked as if someone just grabbed a chunk of my hair and gently and slowly lifted up – until it was vertical.

I went with some friends down to Tombstone last October and stayed at a bed and breakfast across the road from the OK Corral. Supposedly Billy Clanton was taken to this place after he was shot and died in the room we were staying in. Nothing really weird happened in our room but when we arrived to the bed and breakfast the owner was giving us a tour around the place. We were in the kitchen area where she was telling us how some people have seen a woman in a white dress walking through the kitchen. My friend and I were standing there listening to her, as well as a group of other people, when I felt a weird feeling on my forearm. It felt like being shocked/pushed. At first I thought it was my friend trying to get my attention or something but when I looked back he was about 3 ft away from me not even looking at me. I looked around thinking, did I hit something, but nothing was close to me and I didn’t remember moving at all. I asked my friend if he had bumped into me or something and he said no. I looked down at my arm and it had turned red. Looked like I was scratched.

At the time myself and friend found it kinda strange and didn’t really think too much about it. Thinking back on it now though it kinda creeps me out. Still have no idea what it could have been.

I remember when I was really little things like the faucet turning on always happened. I remember my big sister turning it off multiple times and getting aggravated. I also remember being at my cousins house and the fan suddenly and without warning spinning 10x faster about to break off the ceiling. Just a couple years ago I remember being in the shower and having things be whipped at me. Most recently the ghosts seem to be trying to turn my mom ocd. Every morning she turns off her lamp in her locked bedroom and when she gets back from work It’s on. Although it’s more likely a mouse than a ghost.

I don’t really believe in ghosts, but I love a good ghost story, and I have had an experience that you could maybe call “supernatural.”

When I was in first or second grade, I lived with my mom and stepdad in a big cabin that he had built. I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for school in the big, creepy master bathroom upstairs. My friends always complained they felt like they were being watched in there, even when nobody else was around, and the room was lined with black granite and mirrors… very creepy. Anyway, I was brushing my teeth and I stepped into the middle of the room and suddenly felt like I was being watched. Then, I felt like someone was standing beside me. I looked down and my shirt got pulled on like someone was tugging at it, and then stopped suddenly. It freaked me the hell out.

Turns out my former stepdad had a little brother that died just before he finished building the cabin.

A few years ago I went to visit family in Louisiana. Well my aunt lives on an old plantation out there. So one night she decides to start playing her piano, and the next thing I know my chair is being pushed against the wall with me in it, and the front door opens. But there was nobody there. My aunt said that her “friends” can come over whenever she’s playing the piano. Well anyways I haven’t been back there since, and I don’t plan on it in the future.

I don’t know if this would count as paranormal activity, but I sometimes think there is a ghost in my master bathroom. Perhaps someone died building the house ;p that or I turn off my bathroom lights like an asshole. Allow me to explain.

I have had several occasions where I would come up stairs into my bedroom, and my bathroom light would be on. I wasn’t the main light, it was the single light above my shower, which I almost never use, I always use the main light. While not so odd, I have had several times where that light has burnt out, I see it flash and pop, and will not turn on. A few days later I come up stairs, and that light is just on. I have yet to replace the bulb in 2 years, it appears to have burnt out several times, but right now is working. It’s odd.

But it gets even better. On 2 or 3 occasions I have been laying in bed (I live alone), every light in the house is off, and all the sudden that bathroom light will turn on. I’ll get up to go turn it off and the light switch is not all the way up, its like perfectly in the middle barely making contact to turn the light on. It’s strange lol

It’s probably just an electrical problem or something, but I always like to pretend its a ghost hahah
