Did I hear someone say, Come in?
Thank you! I think I will.
Today's questions.
Do you believe in ghosts? Ever see or hear one?
While I have never seen a ghost face to face, I did live in a haunted house while I was a kid, age 10 - 15 years old. I named the ghost Franklin.
I saw things he caused, like turning the light on and off while I was in the shower. No faulty lights. I can hear the light switch click each time. I thought it was one of my siblings teasing me. I started yelling and my mom came it. She heard and saw it too.
Another time I saw the full shadow of a man hanging from a rope on our living room ceiling.
At this point I know you're thinking I have finally lost my mind. And that's okay. But My entire family has stories about the house. And none of us will forget the things that happened.
Would I go back into that house again?
In case, after my ramble, you forgot today's questions . . . here you go.

Hi, Lisa. I believe in ghosts due to an experience I had as a teenager. I spent the night in a house my relatives rented. I heard odd noises during the night, but didn’t get up. When I asked, next morning, my aunt said she was not upstairs during the night. After that, my aunt experienced several unusual things while living there.

They say seeing is believing so I guess until I see one I'm among the unbelievers. However, that being said, I'm open to the idea and think it would be both fun and frightening to see/hear.

Having never seen or heard a ghost that I'm aware of, I don't believe or disbelieve in them.
ReplyDeleteI do believe in spirits and entities.
ReplyDeleteI lived in an old Victorian home that was broken into two apartments. I lived upstairs and my friend lived on the first floor. My children were both sleeping, it was about 11 at night, so I took the dog and went down to my neighbors for a nightcap. We had both apartment doors open so we could hear anything via the hallway. The dog was nestled at my feet and we heard footsteps in my bedroom above our heads. Well, my friend ran up the stairs so fast, you would have thought he was made of fire! There was no one there though. Not a soul, but we CLEARLY hear feet walking.
That wasn't all of my dealings there.
I would hear the radio come on, and no one would be there to touch the stereo dial. The cupboards in the kitchen had a bad habit of opening and closing on their own, and for some reason the ghost had a fascination with my toilet. I would go into the bathroom and find my toilet seat up, when it is always down. Just weird things.
No one ever saw any apparitions or anything though.
I enjoyed watching Ghost Hunters but still not sure I believe in them. I've never had any spooky experiences myself.
ReplyDeleteI think there's probably ghosts but I've never seen one. My friend swears they had one in her old house when she was young though.
ReplyDeleteNo never seen or heard a ghost. No I really dont believe in them. My sister in law though has seen and heard strange things. She can walk into a house and know that something has happened there or that a 'ghost' is living there, etc. And it is always spot on. kinda spooky. lol
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your stories and thoughts. They've been so fun to read!
ReplyDeleteI believe in spirits and have heard one in a friend's home.

I believe in them as I have seen many apparitions, 5 years ago when we all lived in Los Angeles we rented a 2 bedroom apartment in Hawthorne LA, our 2 daughters then 15 and 16 years old shared a bedroom the oldest kept coming to me saying Mom this tall white shape of a person kept coming in and trying to talk to me but I don't understand what it's saying, a friend of mine told me to use sage so I did it help for a long time. Then one night I watched tv and hubby was in the bedroom on his computer when he yelled out who the h*** are you and what are you doing? the girls and I went in there and by our closet was a gray shape of a women then she was gone, my oldest said oh that Eileen she won't hurt you. There's a lot more Penney
ReplyDeleteI have never seen one...but, I do believe there are spirits all around us!
ReplyDeleteYes I do believe..spirits are always all around us. When my dad passed years ago, 3 days after, I awoke to my 2 year old whining, I got up to check on him & heard a scratching on my window screen ..I looked out my dad was standing in the garden waving at me, smiling, telling me not to cry anymore & that J was dreaming about a snake, he's scared of snakes. From time to time I hear my dad or my grandmother whisper to me or I smell daddy's aftershave or Nannies's perfume. I do have other stories, but I leave it to just this. Thanks! Have a great day all!! nani_geplcs(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI believe you Lisa!! I don't know what I don't know but there are a lot of things that just can't be explained. We used to live in a big house when I was young with my parents and we'd hear footsteps, the sound of someone walking, in our hall. There was never anyone there.
ReplyDeleteYes I believe there ghosts or spooky likenesses. Yes I saw one. I was just going to bed so I was still awake and couldn't believe it when I saw it, it hovered over my kitty box then disappeared into the night. After all, I do live a house that's around 105 years old or so.
ReplyDeleteNo not in that way I don't.
ReplyDeleteI started answering this by saying no...I don't believe in ghosts, but then a thought came to me that I would be really freaked out if I saw one. Well if I am acknowledging that I would be scared or really acknowledging the possibility of seeing one then I do believe lol.
ReplyDeleteSo im going to go with a hesitant yes I believe, no I have never seen or heard one, and NO NO NO I do not want to!!! lol lol
