Ever Seen A Ghost?

[nailit]

Don't believe in any kind of afterlife myself, or any kind of supernatural phenomena, but I DO believe that people experience unusual things that can be interpreted as 'other worldly'.
I had an uncle that saw a ghost on his way to work one morning, it made him so ill on arrival that they sent him home. My sister swears to this day (over 30 yrs later) that she saw a ghost.

Ever seen a ghost?

Ever Seen A Ghost?

Yes I have, nailit.

[Mamyalynne]

Not keen on the term ghost.

I have been visited by loved ones and may be again who knows.

[tonyav]

That's a much better way of putting it, Mamya.

Couple of strange experiences, all unexplainable. The one that springs to mind though was a fishing, camping trip to Loch Fyne. Four of us were sitting in the tent chatting when we all heard footsteps on the shingle. Yours Truly went to investigate.
I picked up the Tilley Lamp which was outside the tent at the entrance and saw a figure dressed in orange type oilskins. I turned round to place the lamp behind me and reduce the glare. when I had done this there was nobody there.
We all heard the footsteps !!
Very strange ......

The word 'ghost' merely means 'spirit'. It was used in church liturgy until fairly recently. What is now the Holy Spirit was once the Holy Ghost.

[Mamyalynne]

It's just a personal thing, I know the meaning behind it.

[naomi24]

Yes.

When I was about 6 or 7 I was walking in a small wood near our house when I came across (what seemed to me like) a wizened woman who said ‘ come here little girl’ . I ran like the clappers.

[Patsy33]

Yes

[whiskeryron]

I have never seen a Ghost or Spirit but I am quite comforted by the thought that they exist & would love to meet one.

[Mamyalynne]

I think that's the feeling I get WR, comfort that they've come to check up I'm OK.

[Jackdaw33]

The only spirit I have encountered comes in bottles.

[jourdain2]

I've seen and heard otherwise inexplicable things.

[Baldric]

Never seen one, but I am convinced a significant part of my life was orchestrated by a loved one who had passed on.

[Toorak]

I felt quite anxious as a child because an adult man told my parents that I was ‘fey’

I don’t think so - I don’t feel especially intuitive

[zebo]

I've told this before but it's still worth repeating. Years ago, living in a hot climate I was regularly aware that OH got up during the night and on returning to the bedroom would pull a blanket over me tuck it round me and pat me on the shoulder, in the morning I had a blanket over me having gone to sleep covered only by a sheet. We subsequently moved and were later in conversation with friends and I mentioned this act of kindness, OH said But I didn't, you got up, covered me and patted me on the shoulder. A few years later, in Germany, we met a couple and discovered that they had lived in the same flat years before us and she asked Did you get tucked in at night?
Make of it what you will!

[LewPaper]

I've never seen a spirit but there's been so many people who reckon they have, if only one of them can be confirmed that sort of proves it for the majority of the rest.

[Smowball]

I used to lived in a house with a really creaky floorboard on th second to top stair. One week my husband was on lates and I was in bed reading. The stair creaked as usual and I shouted out oh you’re home early. He didn’t appear in doorway. Phone beeped and there was a txt saying he was running late!

I`ve experienced something that I couldn't explain but I wouldn't say that I have seen one though. Nobody ever seems to get definitive photo of a ghost which makes me wonder if they exist

[hereIam]

Not seen a spirit, but had experiences of them both scary and wonderful. The scary ones were in an office I used to work in that was definitely haunted and the wonderful one was from my beloved Dad.
