I haven't. Do you believe in or not, and why.
May have heard one. Hus, had a 3-4 week long class in York England so we rented a townhouse for us and the kids. First night I heard this weird blood curdling scream. Thought it was somebody leaving a pub. Few days later heard it afternoon. Thought it was some idiot with a recording.
Then went on the York ghost tour. The tour stopped in front of the place we were staying and said an orphanage sat in this spot at one time. The guy who ran it would take in the kids, kill them and still collect the governments money. The people who live here still here the screams of the children.
Heard the scream one more time late at night.
Someday I really want to stay there again. If I hear it again I’ll believe (or that that idiot is stttill playing that recording?)
The best memory from that ghost tour was after that every night when the ghost tour stopped by our rental house, my kids (6 & 8 at the time) would run up stairs where the bedroom window was open a bit, wait til the end of the narrator’s story and they would let out blood curdling screams. Lol.
My son now lives in Scotland (ghost tours lover’s nirvana.) and is still a big ghost tour fan.
I miss your archaeology articles. I recently visited the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks. What a breathtaking sight. Camp Sherman during the civil war was established there and a few mounds were dug up and barracks put in their place. I imagine the boys in blue had more than a few tales about this place after dark. I was the only one there that day and had the circle to myself standing near the tree to the right in the picture. I had this unbelievable urge to sing.

No. I read “The Entity” about Doris Bither...
Really spooky.
MY take on ghosts... read about King Saul and the witch of Endor, the prophet Samuel was awakened and King Saul freaked, the witch shat herself, when Samuel yelled in anger about being awakened.
Don’t go messing around with that stuff unless you want to see one.
I think the witch of Endor (being a fake) was just as surprised as King Saul was.
Back in college a fraternity brother and I were bored and we decided to take a couple of pledges out to this graveyard that we heard was haunted for some flower picking. This old graveyard was out in the boonies. I stayed in the car while the other brother and two pledges ventured on the pick. I was watching them and all the sudden they freaked and started running back to the car. At the same time the cars radio antenna started bouncing back and forth. The only thing I could think was that that a bird flew into it at that exact moment. As for the others, they were terrified because they said things started moving in the graveyard. About a week later I was driving by the same graveyard on my way to an off campus party and my radio went silent as I drove by.
My late father reassured me in a dream after he passed. Then had a very disturbing one some years later.
I consider those guys being on the front lines of spiritual battles for nations. When I pray for them (when I pray) I wear a hat to cover my head so I don’t offend the legions of angels I ask to protect them.
An elderly woman I know saw an angel. He told her everything was going to be ok when she was going through a very hard time. She is very humble and always puts others ahead of herself.
Go visit Antietam Battlefield Park and tell me there are not spirits running around that place in droves. We are talking industrial strength haunting. I think roaming around at night there would be really creepy.
smelling cigarette smoke is not unusual. search for it. I won’t say google it because I use duckduckgo! LOL
Angel?
God is real.
You ought to experience multiple “Stick Men” surrounding your bed and holding you down.
Talk about “night terrors”! Had them frequently as a child.
Also would sleep walk to the area of our home that was most evil. I sensed it it even as a toddler. That’s where my father took his life years later.
This guy was in Army Intelligence. He was serving with British Commandos during Guyana’s civil war (yes the same place where Jim Jones was). We were supporting the West Indians and the Communists were supporting the Blacks.
He was my professor in the 60s and briefly mentioned something in class which for some reason always stuck with me. It was basically that he had seen things in South America which were more weird than Voodoo.
Around 1990 I had to return to college in order to raise my GPA so I could get into grad school. I got to know the professor and one day he told me the whole freaky story of evil spirits, and Commandos seeing them and many years later them writing to each other and the American that they were still seeing him.
Finally my professor bound him in the name of Jesus Christ and he never appeared again.
I trusted the Prof but remembering that brief mention 25 years earlier made me realize that is what he was talking about.
:) That’s when I would sing the Doxology.
That would be Camp Logan during the civil war and Camp Sherman during world war I. Either way, building your barracks over burial grounds wasn’t an intelligent decision. The boys in Kentucky called them haints. I saw one once in a top hat and cape walking on the side of I-75 near midnight going to work. I didn’t look in the rear view mirror through total fear.
There is a ghost that inhabits my room every once in awhile. Perfume smell, ceiling fan slowly spinning for no reason, tapping noises, and heard a faint shout twice.
Never seen a ghost, but some very creepy, unexplainable things occurred in my house about 3 years ago.
This was going on for a few week, then it stopped. Still gives me goosebumps to this day.... 7 people in the house ( incl. visiting family ) witnessed the same.
I feel the same way about Ouija boards. In high school, before I became a Christian, I operated one by myself, as did my best friend. We both almost became obsessed with these familiar spirits. My friend actually saw hers one night; I heard it but didn’t answer. A lot of bad things happened around that time, and we both realized we were dealing with demons and disposed of the boards.
A couple years later I accepted the Lord as my Savior. I always tell people that thing is not a game and that it’s dangerous, and that the Bible strictly forbids familiar spirits.
I went to Bloody Angle in Spotsylvania Courthouse Battlefield Park on a cold, windy weekday in March, 1984. No one else was there. I could feel it.
Me too :) Feel very blessed to have experienced His loving embrace.
