I'm not so sure about the second one - I had a resident spook for some time, uninvited and mischievous. Had to connect and ask for it to stop - apparently it heeded my request, no more surprises for quite a long while now.

What sorts of things did it do Lilo? Since you're German, I wonder if you have lady bugs for luck!

Agree with you there, Lilo, but find they are most apt to step forward if you have given them an invitation, whether intentional or accidental. Unless you want to deal with the consequences, don't even invite them in jest. ;-O

We had one in one old house in France. It was one of your more mischievous characters, as I think most pushy ones must be. If I had to hang a label I'd say it was a poltergeist because it definately hung around we young ladies the most. I've got the willies just thinking about it (my hair just stood on end and I could feel the goosebumps rise). My mother "opened the door" to it when she sensed its presence, and was a 'sensitive', as I seem to be.....so I am careful in that respect. We called him Napoleon, and she invited him to come back to America with us. Yes, he did, and he scared one of my old boyfriends so badly, he refused to ever be in our house alone again. Never would tell me what he saw. LOL. They do exist and nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

You know I agree! If you remember back in 2005 (back when we could post music in the thread)............

Here is a link that might be useful: my ghost story

The only bona fide (or at least what I considered bona fide)ghost I can recall appeared to me in a room in the Old Ground Hotel in Ennis, Ireland. I woke up in the middle of the night & the room was freezing cold & over in a corner was a specter that I couldn't quite decipher. I certainly didn't invite it in &, in fact, burrowed deep under the bed clothes & tried to will it away. I guess I did a good job because the following two nights I stayed in the hotel it didn't reappear.

O-KAY! So Sylvia and I both posted on the link and it's not showing up on the front page. HM?!

See..........goblins. Told you so, lol.

I'm telling you! Goblins. I liked Sylvia's story. Really cool. I hope there are some more stories added.

Rob, I couldn't find your or Sylvia's responses. Where do they show up?

That's what I am saying! If you click on the old link from my above post.... it's in there. But you can't find it doing any searches... and it's not on the front page. Strange, huh?

Robin, how did you find the thread to post the link? The archived pages at the bottom only go back to '07.

Um, ok. Now I am totally creeped out. I just searched on our forum. And it worked. And now it doesn't. Another dimension? Parallel universe?

Older posts may still be on the servers of Iv but not in the pages at the bottom. Do not know if it would show up in the way back machine yet. May be in google cached.

Just checked google and could not find it. Wonder if the pages that fall off are archived by Iv some where. Must be as this one shows up in the link. Maybe all that past history is not lost. Just thinking out loud.
