I live in an area where Ute Indians bent trees as trail markers, to mark a grave & other uses. I met a local acupuncturist, we went walking on the local trails together. She told me, at night, she can see deceased Indians walking around her property. She said they did not die a natural death, she could tell by the injuries they displayed on their bodies. She said it looked like a massacre. I can't see a thing....and the area isn't known for it's violence against the native people.

I've seen objects move by themselves at The Comedy Store on Sunset Blvd (famous for being haunted) and where I used to work, in a building that had been a crematorium. I had lots of strange experiences at that building, and lots of coworkers had the same experiences that I had.

My brother told me that he talked with the ghosts in his bedrooms and that they answered his questions, and so I told him to ask one of them his name. The next day he told me that, and we looked in the family bible and discovered that it was the name of a cousin (that neither of us had heard of before) who had died in that house. My brother was three years old at the time.

I thought that there were ghosts in my bedroom as well, but there was no way that I was going to talk to them. Several cousins were afraid to go into these rooms.

I believe there is something and some people are more connected than others. When I lived on the farm we would occassionally hear something moving in the bushes that surrounded the house. One evening there was about 6 inches of snow on the ground and we heard it. My brother went out to finally see what it was thinking it was people from school playing pranks. He could not find anything. Next day I looked for tracks and found nothing. There had been a house behind ours when my Dad was younger. When asked his face twisted and only said it was a sad house and it was good that it was gone.

One of my cousins knew when a family member had died. When my Mom started calling after my brother had died in a car wreck my aunt already knew it was one of us and asked which one. She was the first that my Mom had called.

Three times I've seen the same inexplicable thing. Once as about a ten year old along with my year older sister, then twice more around age sixteen, alone. I'd rather not describe it here. When I was with my sister I was only a little afraid, mostly curious. When I was by myself, I was scared as heck.

I've tried to figure it out for all these years. When I've asked my sister about it, she will say absolutely nothing other than that she remembers. No speculation, no nuance of description, no conflicting description. She just has nothing to say.

Yes, I do.

I lived in a basement suite of an old boarding house. Before moving in the landlord told me the house had a ghost but it didn’t really bother anyone. i did see it a few times and once I came home from work and a picture i had hanging on a wall was in the little of the livingroom floor. The picture was hanging up above a roll top desk and the picture should have slid down knocking over stuff on the desk, but nothing was knocked over. It was like the picture flew off the wall.

No and no.

There is a lot we do not yet understand. I believe it is good to keep an open mind regarding occurrences that cannot be easily explained.

Yes

eld THAT is hilarious! 🤣

That video was so funny! Thanks for sharing.

I am not sure. When we just brought DD's 10 weeks old poodle puppy into our historical home for the 1st time, he won't go pass the dinning room, he stared at the dinning room's corner celling barked, and then ran back to the kitchen. It took a few mins to get him comfortable to go pass the dinning room with us. He had a few more times after that to stare and bark at celling, but nothing big, no big ruckus Then he left us after the potty training. A few months later, I missed the puppy, so I bought a poodle puppy for myself. The same thing happened, my 9 weeks old puppy sometimes stared and barked at celling in the dinning room and kitchen, but that didn't last long. I am wondering if dogs could kick ghost out if there was any.....

There is no evidence that there is any such thing as ghosts or paranormal experiences. It's an unknown.

There is a term for the kind of "thinking" or false "reasoning" some have displayed here. I don't want to use the actual term because some might think I'm calling people names. I'll leave out the technical term, and will explain it this way, quoted from Wikipedia linked at the end:

There's a type of error in reasoning, a " fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true."

As explained by Carl Sagan (same source): the reasoning fallacy happens with "the claim that whatever has not been proved false must be true, and vice versa "

Or, as Neil deGrasse Tyson likes to say (my recollection of his words), as when people allege a particular explanation or source for a UFO sighting, " Remember that the "U" stands for Unknown. That doesn't leave the door open for unsupported speculation to be considered valid or to substantiate that what someone said they thought they saw, was actually seen. Unknown means unknown".

An explanation of false logic/false reasoning

I have ghost cats. I'm not entirely sure what all causes them. It's the feel of a particular cat on the bed, seeing a flash of them around the house, or hearing their particular voice.. but that cat is dead. There's a handful of mundane explinations that could apply to the phenomena, but I don't rule out a spectral feline visit. I've had some not normal experiences, but I don't know if they were paranormal or just unexplained. A handful of things that were downright strange, but I can't say for sure they were actually supernatural.

But then one of my lifelong interests has been of folklore and spooky things. And true crime. Research and lore tripping for the most part, some cartography. A lot of debunking, tracking, sorting, a bit of experimenting. There is bound to be some mysteries and unexplained weirdness amongst all the more mundane oddities.

Sometimes things like reputed haunts have a suprising backbone of true crime to them, sometimes they show shifts of the human psyche that can be more interesting than whatever the haunt is supposed to be. Sometimes they are just straight up campfire tales passed during childhood and coming to age years that carry on. Sometimes they are very true to the person experiencing them, and I feel compelled to not disbelieve their belief even when I don't belive in the veracity of their account. Or that their account is explained by a paranormal or supernatural explination over a mundane one.

I believe in ghosts/spirits. We grew up with a Mr. Boo in our house. Thankfully, he is no longer here but he was a friendly ghost. A week after my Dad died I went down the basement to do laundry. I swear to God I saw his floating head, like a moon as I went around the corner into the laundry room and where his work bench was. That happened twice and never again. My youngest brother passed away unexpectedly after having surgery 2 days ago. He believed in the paranormal and he told his daughter that he would haunt in a nice way his daughter and me. Around 4 am last this morning I was sitting in the living room doing the online NY Times crossword puzzle, my brother loved doing those puzzles. All of a sudden something clattered to the floor. I had my headphones on so I didn't know where the sound came from. I looked around, I have a leather like lidded storage container/ottoman where I put my laptop when not using it. I had 2 books on top of it, both about the afterlife by the medium Matt Fraser. The books had fallen to the floor. I don't understand how they could have fallen because they have sat on the thing for 2 months. The dog was in the hall snoring away, my cousin was sleeping and I was on the couch not near the thing. I just felt an overwhelming feeling of my brother. Maybe it was him who knocked the books off. I know it is crazy. I have always had premonitions and visions and they have always come true. I have had 3 dreams of being shown who in my family is going to die, non of them were sick or expected to die. I can't explain it. My family and friends tell me not to dream about them. My Great Grandmother was the same way. My Mom told me she had a third eye and I remember as a child looking at her face looking for her third eye haha. There are a lot of sceptics out there and that is okay, but I know what I know haha and I know I am not crazy. I watch the Fourman Brothers on Paranormal Nightmare TV. They are the most believable paranormal investigators out there. They travel across the US helping families for no charge and they don't seem to fake their investigations like most others do. https://www.youtube.com/user/rocko4271/videos

Oh, another thing, whenever I have had those dreams I always tell someone right away about them, and when the things come true they are shocked. I rarely have those types of dreams anymore

I believe in ghosts but I don't think that everything people claim is a ghost necessarily is. I do try to find a rational explanation first.

When I had just graduated high school, we lived in and ran a country hotel in a town which owed its existence to a monastery. We felt we had a poltergeist which liked to hide things in weird places. My mother once found her hairbrush jammed behind the radiator bar (and behind the grille) of an electric heater. We referred to this poltergeist as "Jeb" for reasons too long to go into.

Anyway, after graduation, I invited a schoolfriend from the city to come and stay for a week. She had just received an expensive watch as a graduation gift. We were heading down to the bathroom for a pre-dinner shower, and she wondered where she should safely leave her watch. I suggested she leave it on the middle of her bed, where there was nothing else and it would be easy to find. (OK, my bedside tables were a little cluttered :-D. ) We locked the door and left.

When we returned, the watch was nowhere to be found. We felt the bed all over, to see if it had been displaced and we couldn't see it because of the pattern on the bedspread. We looked under the bed. We looked everywhere. My friend was very upset.

Feeling like a weirdo, I stood in the middle of the room and said, "OK Jeb, this isn't funny. We're going down to dinner and if that watch isn't back when we get back, I am going to march down to the monastery and bring back a priest and have you exorcised." My friend looked at me like I had two heads.

When we returned, there was the watch, right in the middle of the bed where we left it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the country hotels in the town where I now live is reputed to have the ghost of the former owner. Little weirdnesses happened reasonably frequently, but little that couldn't be explained away if you were willing to twist things around a bit. But one day, I saw it.

I was cleaning one of the bar areas. It was a narrow room connected on its long side by a large archway to a much larger dining room. The bar ran partly along the opposite long side.

A doorway on the rear short side, which was always open, led to a hallway about 15' long, off which were the walk in refrigerators and a door to the outside at the end. You could not see the bar from the hallway as it was in line with the walk in refrigerators and so obscured from sight.

I was sweeping the hallway floor working back towards the bar area when I saw who I thought was one of the other staff members come through the archway from the dining room and cross past the doorway out of sight towards the bar. I was expecting this staff member to come in and collect up the safety mats behind to bar and take them out to wash them down while I swept and mopped the now cleared bar floor, so I said, "Morning Kevin," as I continued towards the bar area, still looking towards the bar and finishing less than a minute later.

To my surprise, there was no one else in the room at all and the floor mats were still in place. There was no way anyone could have left without being observed as the only entrances were the archway and the hallway.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've had other experiences I can't explain (including hearing the creepiest recording I've ever heard made by a friend who lived in a house that had a serious problem), and my mother had a couple of unexplainable experiences.

Despite what some claim, I don't think we know everything about the universe yet so I do believe that there are some things we don't fully understand yet.

I have found the opposite of Cherryfizz. If I tell someone normally about reading or seeing something horrific on tv it normally does not happen. No one will remember but a year or so on here someone posted about a helicopter crash. I asked if there were two in the same area because I had read online about one happening in the same area.

Beezee still comes and cleans my hair although it happens less frequently.
