Do you believe in ghosts?
 

If yes or no say why and tell us about any experiences.

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

No I don't.............but...........

We were in Somerset and stopped to have a look inside a tiny, very old church out in the country. There was only one door and it was a huge oak one that creaked when opened and made a solid "thunk" when it closed. There was no one inside but my husband and me and no doors into any side rooms etc. but, after about 5 minutes, a realised there was an elderly lady standing beside me. She was quite ordinary looking, wearing a dress and cardigan and with glasses on. She pointed out the altar in the tiny Lady Chapel and told me how old it was. I asked if she lived nearby and she said, no, she didn't but her nephew was a church warden and she "came there sometimes".

A few minutes later I turned to say something to her and.........she wasn't there. There had been no sound of the door opening and closing. We went outside and looked around. The path to the church, from the small village, was quite long and there were only fields on either side of it. She would have had to run very fast to get to the road before we came out of the church door.

If she was a ghost she was a completely unscary one but we never could come up with an explanation..................... :eek:

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

I dont believe nor am I a disbeliever in the supernatural. There are many things in the world that cannot be explained by science or religion so its possible.

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

I do, I see Ghost’s has something different to Spirits, but more of that later. We do have a thread relating to this matter which when I can find it I’ll cut and past my ten pennies worth.

I do like a spooky bit at Christmas......:D

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

There' no answer to that! :eek:

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

Maybe one day I will see one one and know for certain that I did and its not a drugs or drinks thing. Must admit that if I did see one I am going to be so shockedand stunned I would slide down the wall. Running wouldnt be an option as I cant run through walls or closed doors. :o

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

Yes of course. I saw one only last week. In the pub I work in it was a man with dark hair and a long black coat. He walked from one side of the pub to the other. When I told the landlady she just said "oh you've seen it, good, because i see it all the time!!" And customers are always saying theres something round. Glasses are always flying off the shelves aswell.

My mum sees them a hell of a lot more than me. She sees one really regular at the end of our street a man & woman in Victorian dress. Only ever appears very late at night when its quiet.

You wanna ask AccyJay, what he could tell you would take pages!!! he can also sometimes come up with names, its quite freaky.

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

Don't believe in ghosts.

Evidence being I've never seen any, and I'm very nosey.:D

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

Probably wrote it before, so sorry if I'm boring you.

I was on some drugs two years ago that gave me hallucinations. I mainly saw rats, or things running up the walls. However, whilst watching television one night there was an old man sat in the room with me, shouting wildly in tongues. I could still give a description of him for an identi-kit picture now. Fly away grey hair, black suit with dandruff, collarless shirt, boots.

It seemed so real, but knowing that it wasn't really there I closed my eyes and after five minutes or so the man disappeared.

At the time I was having weekly acupuncture sessions. The woman I went to asked how I'd been that week, and I told her about the hallucinations and the old man. It turned out that her Grandfather, an ex-landlord of the Tinker and Budget, used to live in my house. As a child she remembered him as someone who shouted a lot. Spooky.

She left me on the bed full of needles, and went off to find a photograph of her Grandfather. If she came back and it was the old man I'd seen, I would have believed in ghosts, and would have probably put my house up for sale right away.

Thankfully her Grandfather looked nothing like my shouty old git.

The mysteries of the mind....and mind altering drugs.

Maybe you are not looking in the right place G. If you are then they must be hiding from you. :p

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

not really sure on this one,but i dont discount the thing, i thought i saw one in my teens when staggering along hyndburn rd,worse for wear in the old graveyard across from the slaughterhouse about 2-00am one morning, next day i returned cos was working at ewbank at the time looked in the graveyard and my ghost was a gravestone which was broken and recently cemented which made it look much lighter, the cement.alcohol,the moonlight,and my imagination made me feel a right pilloc**, but nevertheless i have heard stories from some people who i know couldn,t lie if you paid em. so i have an open mind on this one.;)

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

I have too many to list.

However, my strangest one was in the Regency one night about 11:30pm. I was just about to finish work for the night. Part of my duties was to check the pub to make sure nobody was still inside other than the staff. This particular night i locked the front doors, checked the fire escape then went to check the ladies toilets. I was just about to leave the ladies when the tap turned on. I know what your thinking, that maybe it was already on when i went in there & i hadn't noticed. However, the taps in the Regency are the type that you have to push down to operate.

I didn't really bother too much about it until the next day. When i went into work the manager told me that the alarm had gone off during the night. He explained that everything was fine, but, he was wondering why there was salt all over the pool table, & a smashed salt cellar in the corner of the room. I'm always the last person to leave the bar area & i can assure everybody that there was no sign of any salt or smashed glass when i left that night.

All the salt cellars were either on the tables at the other end of the pub, or, stored in a cupboard which is lower than the pool table.

I think Lolly was working in the Regency that night.

:eek:

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

I know a few people tats happened to cashman. But in graveyards its nearly always the drink, ghosts dont tend to haunt graveyards. The nothing (from their earthly lives) to keep them there. They tend to go back to old houses, work, pubs etc.. places they loved.

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

Yes i was working that night. It was really strange. Where the salt was round the pool table area if you were stood at the end of the bar you could always see shadows moving around. Its not a nice ghost in the Regency. As Jay will tell you, it used to follow Les (the ex landlord). Remember that night you just had to leave the pub Jay, and then when Les came into the Bees you felt the same horrible feeling again??

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

You for got the people that they hated the most. In which case it should be the money grabbing taxman and the C of the E. :D

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

LOL!! :rofl38: Too true, too true!! I could think of a few people i'd like to haunt!!

PS.. This is my 100th post!! YIPPEE!! Happy Posting!!!

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

I felt awful that night, but when i got off the premises i was fine. When Les came up to the Bees Knees it felt the same again & had to go home. As soon as i got outside i was fine. It felt like somebody had just poured puke & sh1t all over me.

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

you know what i mean, i havent seen god or HEARD him, so i dont believe. :rolleyes:

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

Yes, I do know what you mean Panther...but there are so many things that we truly do not know.....and things that we may not be able to see, but do exist...that was the point that I was trying to make.
So although I may not be able to SEE something....I reserve judgement on whether to believe or not. I suppose it is called 'sitting on the fence'.

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

I've got this theory. :cool:

Some people say they've seen apparitions in clothes from long ago and they'll say they walked through walls etc. My theory is that what they see is some sort of time-slip; not the spirit of a dead person but a sort of photographic image of a moment in time past, superimposed on the present. A case in point is the Romans at York. Several visitors to the museum are said to have seen Roman soldiers marching along in the basement but all, sort of, cut off at the knees. They've found out that the original Roman road was about 2 feet lower than the floor of the basement that's built on it, so they're marching on the road and you can't see their feet.

Doesn't explain my disappearing lady in the church though. :confused:

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

I believe in them. A couple of stories for you to believe or not its up to you to make your mind up...

When i was a kid about 6 i used to live in huncoat next to the graveyard and EVERY night i used to look out my window lying in bed and without fail i saw a pair of hands reach on to the window sill slowly. This went on for about 3 years or so. My mum didnt believe me then but as they years have passed i always tell this when the topic comes up and it hasnt changed one word so she believes me now.

And another one was when i was about 13. My grandfather passed away and i was really close to him. On the day of the funeral we were outside waiting to get into the cars when i looked up at the window to see my grandfather waving goodbye. I told my mum who said it was not funny at all till she looked and saw him too.

And yet another for the spirit side of this topic...

When my grandma was about to pass away my dad would not let me see her anf for that i hated him for some months but slowly saw that in a way he was protecting my memories of her. When i finally found out where she was buried i went up to say goodbye by myself. I was in jeans and t shirt but it was really raining hard but i didnt care less getting soaked and crying my eyes out. After about 20 mins of talking to her i went back to the car and as i was driving away from plesington i looked up to see not the grey clouds and raing of only a few mins ago but a beautiful sunshine and clear blue sky shining down on to my face. And all i could think was is that you grandma.

So there you go life story over lol

Re: Do you believe in ghosts?
 

My late mother used to have a saying, "there are far more things between Heaven and Earth than a mere mortal can hope to comprehend in their short lifetime" food for thought, whenever I feel in need of guidance, I ask my late mother, nothing to be seen but the answer is usually forthcoming.
