ok so i have a friend who swears the house she has just moved into is haunted. she says that stuff gets moved around, lots of unexplained noises, and even seen something (like the outline of a person) floating on the stairs. i just dont know what to believe, is it just her imagination and totally explainable or is this something real? has anyone had ane experience with this subject? or can you tell me what you believe and why?

I've lived in 2 haunted houses and in both cases, the ghosts kinda seemed friendly. One might have been a poltergeist, but wasn't destructive, it just played jokes on people like turning lights off and on and moving things around. The other house, there was a 3rd floor attic full of old furniture and stuff that the landlord had just left there and I always felt like someone was there with me when I went up there. There was a door at the bottom of the stairs that would not stay closed, even after I and two other people checked it to make sure that it really latched. My children were pretty young then and during the night someone would cover them up--which was great except during the summer when it was too hot! I didn't tell them that it wasn't me.

There is deffinately something to it.When I was about 16 years old a few of my friends really got into this.....like holding seances and such.I took part in only one and after what happend there....that was the last time I ever messed with something like that.We all sat around a table and holding hands with our eyes closed....I don't remember exactly what was said....but after it was over....the bracelet I was wearing was laying on the floor with the clasp still closed.I still get chills thinking about that.....it scared the living daylights out of me.I never felt a thing....but still my bracelet was laying there on the floor next to me.I don't know how that happend.....but it made a believer out of me. I've heard a lot about hunted houses and people actually staying there....if I ever encounterd such a thing I would be out of there in a hurry.

I do believe in ghosts. I worked for a shipping company when i was still single and the office was in an old Spanish house. It was a Saturday and i was working overtime alone. I was busy typing a report when i felt the chair from the table next to me move closer. And then i knew something was sitting on it because the cushion was pressed down a little as if a weight was on it. I felt goosebumps and prayed that it wouldn't do anything more to frighten me further. After a while I felt it go away and then i ran downstairs without even finishing my report.
