It is really sad when you think about how lonely, sad or scary it must be as a spirit TRYING (any way you can) to communicate with people.... and end up just making people more frightened of you. I really do hope all the lost souls/spirits get the help they need. 🙏💜

If I become a ghost and someone tries to contact me in the human world, I want to be like "What's up my dude?"

The last tenants in my house left suddenly one night saying they had experienced a ghost & were never coming back.
However I’ve been living here for over 400 years now & I’ve never witnessed a thing

I grew up in a home where these things were the "norm" i find it amazing to see others reactions

Three of my four childhood houses were haunted. The first two had what I called “normal actions”, such as strange noises at night, bodiless shadows, and just the feeling that someone was always watching you.
The third one, however, the spirits were far more active. There was one ghost that would hide items from me, usually something I was using at that moment, and return it as soon as I gave up looking. There was one that would randomly turn on the water or open drawers in the kitchen. The lights would suddenly turn off while in use. On certain nights of the month, I would hear loud steps walking up and down the hall before knocking on all the doors. I had a music box in my room that would start playing in the middle of the night without anyone turning its key. There was a doll I had that mysteriously loss its hair, as if someone was pulling it out. I was able to catch sight of these ghosts several times, usually spotting a figure in the mirror only for it to disappear when I turned around or seeing a shadow pass my doorway during the night. But we also had a vicious spirit that would cause us harm. This one would pull on my hair or tug on my clothes. It would shove me while I was walking. I would wake up with unknown bruises on my arms and legs. The worst experience was one time while I sleeping and suddenly felt as if someone was pressing my head into my pillow. It only stopped when I let out a scream and my parents came into the room. We moved out after 5 years in that house.

Second ghost story for you folks: my cousin had came over to hang out. A few hours later, he had to take a deuce. Next thing I hear him fumbling down my stairs trying to collect himself. He keeps asking me if I was jiggling the doorknob. I denied it as I was outside playing fetch with my two dogs. He apparently was fighting off whatever wanted to open the door on the other side, and, mind you, he had the door locked. Whatever IT was literally broke the lock off the door, some way, somehow and my cousin would never come over ever again unless a lot of people were over at the house.

I work in an old building, around 100 years old. Throughout the years four different paranormal investigator groups have found evidence of paranormal activity here. What I found interesting is that while they were not in communication with each other's groups, some of their findings were the same, such as a young boy on the first floor and a very young girl in the basement. I've listened to tapes that were recorded in front of me and played back an hour later. One investigator asked, "Can you come over?" There was a hissing voice that was not what I heard in front of me, but on the tape it was distinct: "No, I'm dead." I'm pretty certain there are spirits floating around the world. Our spirits here in our store are benign, maybe even protecting us.

Actually about 50% of poltergeist hauntings are caused by the living instead of the dead because poltergeist haunting happen because a living person doesn't know that they have abilities such telekinesis or psychokinesis and they don't know how to control it because it's created by emotions. And sometimes, when a living person doesn't control their abilities via by emotions, then the poltergeist hauntings can get out of control, harming the living and becomes an entity of it's own.

As a child l saw a ghost pass by my bedroom door. It looked like a very dark silhouette of a human being, that was surrounded by a bright white outline.

As a teenager l lived in a house where years ago a cancer patient was sent home to die. One of the rooms in the house always had an unexplained foul smell. On the day my family and l moved out of the house, l was sent in to make sure we had left nothing behind. I heard loud footsteps running up the stairs. I thought it was one of my brothers fooling around. When l got upstairs no one was there. When l looked out the upstairs window my entire family was waiting outside in the car. I ran out of that house as fast as l could.
