There is a website where they list the spooky places in all 50 States.
Yes, a ghost or spirit of my father appeared at the foot of my bed and spoke to me about five years after he died. Saw him and heard him.
I have seen a few things that I cannot explain, but never a ghost. An apparition perhaps (a full 10 seconds in length) , which conflicts with my religious beliefs, but no ghost.
Excelllent
Not sure if anyone else thinks this is strange but around 1975, I was coach of our Church’s softball team.
In the middle of July, three of us were standing near home plate when all three of us felt a chill. This was in 98 degree weather. All of us made some comment but none of us seemed particularly disturbed.
I have thought about it some since then. Maybe a physical weather phenomena but I still wonder about it.
Both of my parents died from long term cancer. Both of them had “visitations” prior to their deaths. My Mother predicted her death the very day it happened. She asked my sister to put on her makeup because she was leaving that day with friends that had visited her the night before.
My Dad, I don’t want to speak about it.
Hmmm...Does this make them ghosts?
Hey good to see ya. Hope you are well.
I’ve had two experiences. One I generally do not discuss; it is possible that the enemy took advantage of a recent death in my family (at that time).
The other, much earlier, was encountering a brother of a gal I was friends with. My guess is he was about 10 years old. I believe he may have had a “dumb spirit”. I discussed it with a pastor friend but never followed up. I’m not sure if his parents would have understood.
All I know is; he reacted every time I said “Jesus”. It was a church group and he was sitting to the side. I ignored him at first, but then began to notice his reactions every time the Lord’s name was mentioned. I mentioned it a couple of times just to see if he reacted on that cue. And yes he did.
Did any of the messages involve a coin?
I recall seeing Arlen’s Spectre many times on TV.
I’ve had sleep paralysis once. I “felt” like someone was holding me down. It wasn’t fun...

I have also experienced that. It’s been many years ago...I will never forget it.
Never believed in ghosts.....
Owned a restaurant once that the building was built in the late 1700’s....
Employees wouldn’t go into the kitchen after midnight....said things moved and they heard strange noises....
I blew them off figuring they wanted out of work....not unusual in the restaurant industry.....then my Executive Chef complained.....
One night around 2AM a group of us were sitting in the main dining room just talking (restaurant was closed) and we all got an incredibly cold gust of air and we all got a very creepy feeling, skin crawling.....
Then in the middle of the dining room a very defined column of smoke appeared from the floor to the ceiling...then was gone.....I immediately thought kitchen fire......
Then I realized the smoke I saw started at the ceiling and traveled down to the floor before it disappeared.....
Smoke rises, doesn’t fall.......
We called it a night and got out of there......
To this day I cannot explain it....
Yes, I’ve experienced the power of the Holy Spirit too. Powerful experience for a Catholic who used to very much doubt the ‘slain in the spirit’ thing. I will never ever doubt again.
That said, my husband saw the ghost of a woman standing at the foot of our bed. I was asleep so didn’t see it. Turned him into a believer. When did he tell me about it? When we were standing in the checkout line at Walmart!!!
Yes.
The thread from the nurses web site is filled with similar stories.
Who ya gonna call?
When I was a teenager my brother and I both saw our grandmother on the night she passed, we were not in the same place as one another . We were in Indianapolis and she in Southern California. We convinced my mom to get someone to check on her and she was gone. She said goodbye and that everything would be ok, not to worry. That’s it.
I’ve never seen a ghost myself, but have known people who have. I’ve been interested in the paranormal, specifically hauntings since the mid 1960’s, and have read a lot of books about hauntings in this country, and in the UK. There’s just been too many reports of ghost sightings over the years to discount them all.
If an actual recording at the scene (and I’m not doubting it), quite amazing and explainable only one way.
Last house over the top haunted. Confirmed by neighbor. So was theirs. Both homes almost 100 years old. Too many incidents to mention here. Apparently they were ok with me but almost everyone else experienced multiple incidents.
