Ghost

Anyone here watch that show Taps on scifi? Did you see the one tonight about the battle ship missouri? That was just a freak episode that reminded me about some of the weird things ive had happen in my life, like unexplained.

Ok just to tell you about my current house, we bought it an older couple. About a month before we moved in the lady died in the house. Yeah thats a little freaky. But some really weird things have happened in this house.

This one time when i was about 13, we had been in the house for about a year or so. Anways we (my family) my mother and 2 brothers came home at like 8PM to eat. Anways the house was really quiet and so was our dinner, one of those family meals where no one really talks and you hear everything. Anways were in the kitchen and we hear a creecking noise come from the upstrairs. Well its an older house, built in the 1950's-60's so at first we just shrugged it off as the house settling or just being a bit older. Then it happened again, like 30 seconds later. IT was like a creek creek that would be caused when someone is walking around and there a creeky part in the floor. Again we shrugged it off, a little more uneasy this time. THen again it happened, by now we were all getting a little spooked. We joked around that it was the elder lady that died in the house. But it kept happening, like someone was pacing around in our upstairs. So finally after about a minute of it, i look at my family and everybodies face is just white, then instantly we all jump and run out of the house to a friends place. We werent sure if it was someone who broke into the house or not, but we knew someone/thing was moving around upstairs. It was to much creecking, and not just stationary creeking, like creeks in different parts of the upstairs. So went to our friends and got a few people to come back with us to check the house out. We searched the whole upstairs, couldnt find anything. All the windows were closed and locked (AC was on). No sign that anyone forced there way into the house or anything like that. But it was enough to make me, my 2 brothers and my mother run out of the house terrified.

Now all 3 of my brothers have admitted to hearing other odd noises. I dont leave the door to the basement open for one reason, its the same reason my brothers wont leave it open. When the house is quiet and your home alone you can hear really abnormal sounds coming from the basement. We all have described it as someone pushing boxes around. We have alot of boxes in the basement, most are cardboard. Filled with useless junk. We also have a tile floor in the basement, kinda dirty like an unfinished tile basement floor would be like. If you have a basement like this you know what im talking about. When you slide a box across the floor it makes a very distinct sound. You can hear the box sliding over all the small pieces of dirty, dust, and things like that. Anways thats the sound my brothers and I always heard coming from the basement when home alone. Like someone was slidding a box around. Ive many times ran down to the basement after hearing it and seen nothing and the noise stops. I go back upstairs and like 5 mins later i would hear it again.

Also i never told my GF about any of that, atleast not at first. But she always tells me how uneasy she feels in my house. Like she literally wont stay by herself alone in a room, even if im in the other room. She gets really tense and scared.

Anyone else have any other odd or unusual things happen to them?

Re: Ghost

Well we bought this house about 10 years ago brand new so i never thought about ghost in it. Well about 6 years later my uncle died of a drug overdose. Well a couple of weeks later me my dad were eating dinner and talking about my uncle and my dad was saying how he comes down and checks on us. I said no thats b.s and disagreed with him for about 5 mins and then we heard a thump from my dads room. We walk in there and in his bathroom was his cell phone laying in th floor. The fuck up thing about it was that he the type of charger that leans back and it rest in there. thats my only ghost story

Re: Ghost

D'oh! This thread made me turn the lights on.


I have a kinda wierd story. I was in new york, driving with my mom on some very very dark creepy backroads upstate. I looked at the window, up the road, and in the headlights I could make out someone standing on the side of the road. I swear there was a person there. I watched them for about half a second, then I blinked, and they were gone.

Anyways, I have had friends that have been attacked by demons and such. They had eyewitnesses too. Like the nerdy kind that refuse to lie about anything. Creepy stuff

Well since im always alone in my house I hear all types of stuff, like REALLY f-ed up stuff too. My house is old, it was built in 52.. so thats old. Well anyways like many times i'll be just sitting here where I am right now, now where I sit at is in the VERY corner of the house, like my chair is in the corner of my room and my room is on the corner of the house obviously, well I got 2 windows, one to my right and one on my back and sometimes like me and my friends will be just chilling, playing games or something then we hear like a big BOOM like if something just fell and it comes from like between the walls and always scares the crap out of anybody. It literally sounds like a person falling and its like right next to where I sit at so you can imagine me..

Also I always think that there's something there in my kitchen, like theres a hallway that leads from the kitchen, to a middle room straight to my room and whenever all the lights are off it kinda reflects lights from my room to the kitchen and it ALWAYS looks like something is there, standing looking back at you. VERY SCARY

Oh yeah, btw EC, im right there with ya buddy on the light turning on stuff.

My friend who knew Dimebag Derrell, he like took lessons from him because they were close friends, well we were talking about stuff like this and he says his house is haunted too, like he said he's just sleeping, then he wakes up, looks around and sees the closet door like barely opend and then close immediatly like someone was there, obviously he gets up with a knife to look for someone there and nothing.. and he says that he's heard many sounds from the kitchen like a big BAM like if someone just fell to the ground and once again nothing.. hope you guys sleep well tonight!

Re: Ghost

Every now and then I'll hear a LOUD boom from the basement of my house. Like an explosion or something. It creeped me out until I realized that it was the pilotlight on the furnace reigniting

when i was young i had lots of scary experiences. Almost every night i'd wake up and ALL of my covers would be ripped off the bed, so I'd be laying there completey helpless and shocked. One night waking up in this condition I saw a man walk across my bedroom... I said, "dad?" out loud.. and the man turned and looked at me but kept walking. The next day i asked my dad if it was him, but he didn't know what i was talking about.

another time i woke up and this fuzzy mist was beside my bed... just kinda floating around infront of me.. i looked at it for a few minutes then dozed back off to sleep.. i woke up maybe an hour later, and the mist was across the hall, infront of my parents bed.

after these experiences, i feared bedtime more than anything... my parents had to fight me to get me up those stairs. Since then I've always slept with my covers tucked over my head..

Re: Ghost

I hear noises all the time in my house that we moved into about 3 years ago. I think it's just because the people that built it never really knew what they were doing. At first it really freaked me out at night, like to the point I'd walk around the house with a bat and a bowie (sp?) knife. Now that we have our dog and he's not a puppy it doesn't scare me at all because if it was a person he would go completely fucking ballistic and rip them apart. Ghosts don't really freak me out...I'm more afraid of a real person (that I don't know) being in my house...

Re: Ghost

My moms old house was built in 1903, lol. Saw ghosts a lot, actually.

One was a little boy that you'd see crouched in a random corner. He never moved, he'd just appear there, crouched, then disappear.

There was also an old man who walked the upstairs hallway at night. He'd check on us. You know, look in the rooms and what not. If something wasn't right though, he'd wake up the oldest one...which was freaky as hell (even though you knew what it was) cause he'd shake your bed. He never said anything though.

There was another one, I'd never seen, but he talked. I'd be home alone and hold complete conversations with him. Never learned his name though. He "forgot" it.

Then we had a demon. Well, I say demon. You'd be laying in bed, then a shadow would swoop up over you and just float there. You couldn't move a muscle. You couldn't move your eyes, your jaws, nothing, couldn't even breathe. That sucked.

My buddies and I used to go ghost hunting. Josh and I went into a 2 story house. I went to the second story, went to cross a room and fell through the floor. It sucked, twisted my ankle on landing, but nothing major. Anyways, Josh heard this noise and went running upstairs. I tried to chase him and tell him to watch out for the hole. When I was about halfway up the stairs, I hear him fall through. He didn't break or sprain anything though. I called him a dumbass for falling in my hole. He claimed there was no hole. You could look up and see through it! It didn't make sense. We went upstairs (I hobbled) and went to the room again. From downstairs we saw the hole, from upstairs there was no hole. We went back downstairs to the room below, and there was no hole. We left.

Re: Ghost

I live in an old small abandoned mill village in a house that was built in 1896... so that's old. My wife and I call it the Monster Mansion. Needless to say, it's falling to crap and isn't worth renovating. But we always here creaking sounds. When I first met my wife and she worked at night, I'd be chilling there alone, reading for school and it would be all quiet and then I'd hear some pretty damn weird sounds. I was always like how can a house over 100 years old still be settling. I know that ambient temperatures cause the wood to react and flex but it was pretty damn scary sometimes. There may have been small mice in the walls or whatever, even in some of y'all's places too, but to make such loud sounds just doesn't make sense. Anyway, we have a cat now so she scares all the ghosts away...

EDIT: The post above ^ is scaring me...

Anyone ever tell you that you talk like a 13 year old girl?
Sorry... couldn't resist.

Don't believe in ghosts myself. That's not to say that they don't exist, but I've never seen one, and I firmly believe that any "strange" noises I've ever heard in any house (regardless how old), were 100% explainable.
