I know some people have spoken about encounters with ghosts, myself included, but no one has touched upon being physically touched by them.
Have you ever been touched by one? The feeling is strange, I know, it's happened to me 3 times.
About 14 years ago, I had my first experience being touched by one.
It was the middle of the night, I was living in a shelter, and shared a room with 2 other girls.
They had the bunk beds and I was sleeping on the single bed in the room.
I woke up to feel arms around my mid section, no one was there. The girls were sleeping.
It didn't scare me though, and I didn't think anything of it after that.
The next 2 experiences were just in the last week.
On Tuesday when I took Tiger to the vet for neutering, it started after I went down to pick him up and was told I couldn't get him.
Something started to tickle my leg and wouldn't stop. The only time it stopped was when I crossed my legs.
When I picked Tiger up, it stopped for good.
The other day, I came home from work and something was touching my hand. I'm not sure when that stopped though, I just don't remember.
Has anything like this ever happened to you?

It would seem you're very open to the spiritual world and there's nothing worrying about that unless of course you feel threatened by these encounters. By the sounds of it you don't seem to feel that way, am I right?
You said you felt arms around your waist, was it almost like an embrace? My mother has felt arms around her waist numerous times, the two I remember most being over the last two months. She told me it felt warm and she felt protected. As though they were of relation to us, which we were able to confirm after visiting a spiritualist church and psychic not too long ago.
I too have felt things around me in my bedroom late at night, my brother has also had experiences with spirits, though not all of his have been pleasant and I'd rather not discuss them here. That seems to have stopped now and our house is much more positive than it once was. He is also in control over his reactions and is able to block out what he doesn't want to see or hear.
If you're feeling bothered by these spirits, I'd recommend a spiritualist church or a psychic if you believe in either of them :) they really were a great help to our family.

I've never had any negative encounters, so I don't have a problem with these ones.
And yes, it felt like an embrace, like someone was hugging me from behind.
I have a feeling that it was my grandfather, as he and I really got along when I was growing up, we shared a special bond.

It's good to hear you've never had any negative encounters. I do hope it is your grandfather :)

This is creepy. Well, my ghost story is somewhat different. I was hanging out at a house and my friend that was with me had her third eye opened. She said she was seeing souls all around us. I thought she was just bluffing but I suddenly felt a gust of cold air touched my arms. It wasn't regular wind, it has character, not some random wind blowing in my arms.

I've never been touched by a ghost.
And I've seen and heard things that were either a ghost or.. another otherworldly being.
The first time.. I saw something that could best be described as the Juzam Djinn picture from Magic the Gathering. All that I saw was the face. It was green with dark horns.. long pointed teeth and a moustache type thing on its face that look like catfish "whiskers."
Numerous years later, I was sitting in a group of four in my living room. There were no fans running. No air conditioner. No open windows. No closing doors. My friend leaned across to hand me something and a blast of cold air came charging right between us enough that all four of us jumped back.
Now, forwarding to last summer.. as I have moved.
My apt complex unit has five separate apartments, but last summer only two of them were occupied... Mine and one that is three doors down from me. The other residents do not have young children and are seldom home.
For most of the summer, between 1 and 3 am, everyone in my apartment could hear the sounds of feet shuffling up and down the stairwell of the apartment next door, and what sounded like children playing. Often times, we'd hear the sound of a little girl screaming... Loud and disturbing enough to make me go lock the doors and peek outside of my window. Keep in mind, that apartment was locked and vacant. Since then, I've seen a few shadow type figures in my own apartment so seemingly real that I began speaking thinking that it'd been my young daughter coming downstairs for breakfast (Id see the shadow of an arm move from the corner of my eye and think she was here).. only to find out later that she had been asleep in her room.
Never any touch tho.

First of all i thank you for sharing your encounter with ghosts, this is my favorite subject, i am a member of the ghost hunting society in my city, so i have many encounters too. In my opinion the ghosts and spirits do exist, they live in a different plane, they are usually harmless; we have 2 harmless ghosts in the very old drumstick-tree in our back yard, i have seen them. Last night one of them talked to me.

I have had experiences that I just couldn't explain, experiences that I believe to be attributed to ghost and the paranormal. Being touched was the first experienced I've ever had, when i was about 11 or 12 years old. I was sitting at my desk, which was against my bedroom wall and next to my window, and my back was to the door. It was a pretty warm day, and all of sudden, I distinctively feel cold hands touch my arms, as though someone was behind me. I look behind me to find that no one was there. And I realized that no one could have been there, as I usually was able to hear people's footsteps, when they were approaching my room. I hadn't heard anything. I just couldn't come up with an explanation.

Oh gosh that would be a bit of a spooky experience for me. I have not had this kind of encounter. I have heard things shake and or move and have been spooked at times. I have been told growing up by ancestors that when we think a ghost is present that we speak out loud and loudly that they need to go to the light.
Spooky and often wondered if they are lost souls.

That is interesting story. I read paranormal books and I read other stories. It never had happened to me. It such situation I think I would be scared and even panic. I know some people who can see ghosts. When I asked them what is the filling when they contact with them, this people told me that at first its very unpleasant because you don't know what to expect. But if you got use to this, it can be very interesting.
