Halloween is coming up this month and many people dress up as ghosts, goblins, or other unworldly characters. Do you celebrate Halloween?
Have you ever seen a ghost or any kind of apparition in real life? Do you think they exist? Were you frightened or mystified?
We would love to hear about your thoughts and experiences.

I believe I have yes.
It was many years ago now in a hotel I worked in England.
And I can't say I celebrate Halloween on the night, but I do watch scary movies and depending on where I am living, hand out candy.

@akalinus I like ghost movies mostly for the simple fact that I am interested in the other side of life and the supernatural..it is interesting and fine with me.
Now I do not like slasher bloody horror that is for the birds.
The ghost stood at the end of my bed with a sort of a hat and long coat on..sort of like the 40s say..and there was a sky window with the moon shining in. He vanished when I woke to see him.

@RebeccasFarm Wow, that is intense. I sometimes see people who are not there. It is just a movement that flashes in the corner of my eyes for a split second and vanishes. Was that ghost you saw scary?

We don't get any trick or treaters so we don't bother celebrating or decorating. No, I don't believe in ghosts. Have a good day.

I have not gotten any trick-or-treaters for years. I usually buy a small bag of candy just in case. In 20 years, I had one. A woman brought her grandchildren over and I had plenty of treats for them. I have the lights off and no Halloween decorations.

@LindaOHio I don't like Halloween except for the candy. I can buy a bag and eat it when I want. I have no lights or decorations, nothing to attract kids or other people.

@akalinus We don't put the lights on either. Our houses are far apart. The kids go to the developments to trick or treat.

Yes, my family does dress up since the kids are still young and it's something they like and look forward to.
As for actually ghosts seen with my own eyes no, heard and felt them yes. I'm empathic and have what is called Clairaudience. It's a type of psychic ability but I don't practice or work it so 90% of the time if I hear them I ignore them because I don't want to welcome unwanted spirits in my life. I know I have around me and my family we have own sports that follow us but they understand it freaks me out when they make themselves known so they tend to be close but not that close.
We also have a ghost that lives in our house but he isn't bother some.

@akalinus Everyone is different it all depends on how open you are. Empathic is draining since I feel others' emotions especially those I'm close to. I am not saying that I can't feel spiritual energy because I can just not feel the same as some people. Like I said it's something you have to wait to practice. I know enough to not be invited so spirits will not really approach me if they are strong until I'm asleep that is when everyone is vulnerable that is why My husband is my anchor. In my sleep, I can feel them more and if something wants in it's usually dark and I can kick them out. demons like those that are weak but I'm not weak.
Lately, I've heard of kid voices and I know there is none in this house so I ignore it even if it sounds like my kids. The spooky season tends to kick up energies. Especially lately with the planets.

@ShyBear88 I am the opposite of you. I feel spiritual energy intensely. I know when something evil is near me and rebuke it immediately. Once, I was asleep and someone grabbed my shoulder. I woke up immediately and searched the house but no one was there.

No, we do not celebrate Halloween, but I have seen a ghost, I think more than once, but one time it has been very neat.
I was in bed, early morning, a dim light coming into the bedroom through the shutters. I turned my head and saw my husband stretching his arms... I thought it was my husband, until I noticed my husband was coming back to the bedroom from the bathroom and the "shape" in the bed disappeared.

For me it has nothing to do with Halloween. I live across from a building and when it gets dark I see this white thing dancing around and one actually flew around the building. I have no clue as to if it is a ghost or not. I have seen a demon all in black and that is all I have to say. I am sure ghosts do exist and there are good ones that keep to themselves and others are very nasty and haunt people that live within their walls.

@akalinus You were in a sacred place so no harm would come to you. Not all spirits are nasty, of course. I believe visitors can also be from the animals also. My dearly loved Sonny James kitty passed on last year. Dimes appeared all over the house and property and from time to time, off the property.
