Have You ever Seen a Ghost?

I was wondering if any of you has ever seen a ghost. I'm not talking about someone with a sheet over their head or anything like that. I am asking if you ever saw a presence around or near you that you thought was a ghost or unearthly being. For years, I saw and heard my childhood dog running through the brush and baying while chasing rabbits. It was the closest thing I have ever seen to a ghost. What was it like and what happened? Was it anyone or anything you recognized?

I saw my mother standing in our dining room. We live in her old house. I wouldn't consider this a ghost, but a spiritual presence. I was asleep, so this was more of a dream. She's in heaven, I believe they can appear to people they care about.

So you were asleep when you saw her or were you awake in a dream-like state?

@akalinus I'm positive that I was asleep. One time I saw an angel standing in the hallway. I was sitting up in bed, trying to focus my eyes on her flowing gown! She appeared to be in a cloud of mist.

@kobesbuddy So you were asleep but woke up enough to see her in the hallway?

Can you tell us more about that? Are they people you know or just random entitities?

Oh, wow! I never knew that they talked. What on earth did they say to you? Did you recognize the ones who passed before you were born?

I have never seen one but my old apartment when I was a kid was said to be haunted. All I remember is the radio would turn on by itself , apparently the ghosts liked my music. There was a couple of other stories but do not remember them, but said they were totally freaked out. One of my old bosses rented that same very apartment and we stopped by one time and had some drinks but he said no unusual happenings happened.

We lived in a haunted house too. I never saw a ghost but some strange things happened inside and out. What kind of music did your ghosts like?

@akalinus In those days was straight rock AC'DC, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Tesla,. Punk was not invented in my world yet.

@crossbones27 I liked soft rock. Punk and acid were never a part of my world. Do you really think they turned on your radio or did you just have a loose connection?

I saw our daughter, in the hallway outside of what would have been her bedroom years ago. I was not afraid, I felt such amazing happiness. She is an angel.

I have never seen a ghost in my lifetime, I have heard stories of persons who claim to have seen the ghost of my late dad in his former office in Balboa Panama which was a former train station of the Panama Canal Railroad company where he used to work as a conductor.

Experienced a negative vibe once coming from my class late night. Street light went off suddenly for few seconds and I felt something strange. I don't believe ghosts. It's all your peak point of fear.

That's interesting. I wonder why the street light dimmed and came on again and you felt something negative and strange. Was that scary? Did anything like it ever happen again?

@akalinus Never happened again. I was thinking about the ghost 1 or 2 seconds back before the lights off. I don't know whether it was a coincidence or a negative vibe.

I've had encounters with the super natural. I can't see, so it's mostly sounds, or the cats behaving oddly for whatever reason.

They say that dogs and especially cats are tuned in to spiritual entities and you can tell something is happening when the cat does crazy things for no reason.

I think I just imagined it once, but when I was working in a very old hotel in England, I thought I saw a man dressed as if he had just walked out of the 30s or 40s. It did not frighten me, but again, I cannot be that sure. And I thought I once saw my Mother in Law in her house..she had just passed.

I think people see them in old buildings a lot of times, especially buildings where a lot of people lived at the same time such as hotels, hospitals, prisons, and places like that.

For most of my life, I never thought of such a thing. Ghosts were for Halloween and stories around the campfire. But sometimes, there are things you just can't explain.

when I was a child in our old house we often heard the sound of women crying, every midnight the voice was heard until before sunrise. sometimes there is a very loud knock on the door although it doesn't happen often, it happens every day and I can never sleep comfortably at night, always awake! but my mother is as usual and sleeps well, honestly I still get goosebumps telling this

In the house I sold during my divorce, there were presence there. It would get a bit noisy at night like a party with one person louder then that other. When I was leaving I told them I was sorry if the next people didn't appreciate them and could visit any time. I was on my lap top and the hair on the back of my neck stood up. I felt a presence and heard " I'm Harvey." I turned to nothing. Two days later I was in my 34 ft travel trailer down near the city I worked at. I had one of my granddaughters. She was sitting up talking away. I asked who was she talking to. She said, "that man, silly." I asked what about and she said he was making sure we were OK and had to leave. Then she told "him" "Ok, I will. Good night" and laid back down. I didn't feel scared. Two hours later, something woke me and as I looked up, a white like something went up through the ceiling. I can't call it smoke, mist or anything. It was different.

What an interesting post! Did you ever find out who Harvey is? I have also seen smoke going up through the ceiling. I thought it was a migraine coming on or my half-awake imagination.

@akalinus I haven't. From some info I gathered, there was a camp on the property many years ago. They had a jost house made or something like that. I would find very old bottles on the property including opium. bottles.

@akalinus Where we used to live there was someone that caused us so much trouble that moved in way after me and because of him we had to move and things would appear and he started getting really bad during the corona and did weird things on the bed. He must have a camera that he continues to do stuff the the bed and stuff here so I call him a ghost and the spirit needs to leave us for good and whatever he is doing with him.
