Hi Just wanted to know as some of you are interested in this kind of thing has anyone seen a ghost or had something happen which can't be explained?

Nope, and don't beleive in them either. When you're dead, you're dead, simple as that NO ONE HAS EVER PROVEN BEYOND DOUBT OTHERWISE. I'm one of life's cynics I'm afraid.

Nat, I have but not for awhile! Lindy:-)

Paul Nobody has proven beyond doubt that they don't exist either! Jeanette

Never seen a ghost but when we've been viewing houses for sale there have been several over the years that I didn't even want to enter - they had a "feel" about them. I'm sure you other ladies know what I mean, don't think it's something men can sense.

Hi Lindy, Please tell us about your seeing a ghost Nat

Trish That happened to my Mum. My Dad quite liked the house but Mum refused point blank to move there. I felt fine when I went to view our last house but not long after moving in I kept getting the strange feeling I was being watched. I couldn't go in the back bedroom on the first floor by myself and other friends and family used to get the same feeling. It was an ex-diocese of York house too. Lots of odd things used to happen there. Jeanette

Jeanette, yes, it's not a "feeling" I can explain - I just know something is wrong with a house.

No it hasn't been proven 100% but then how can you prove that people are imagining things ? I think people will beleive what they want to beleive, and the senses fool them. Am very sceptical about all paranormal type things, I won't beleive it till I see it, but that's just my opinion, everyone else is entitled to beleive what they will.

Hello, Yes I have seen a ghost, it was of my mom and she seemed to stay with me for just short of one year. Also my dog came back just after a week of being put to sleep, but just saw her the once. Re the feel people get when they go into a house, my daughter moved into a very nice house almost 3 years ago now, but I hate having to go into it. I have never said any thing to her about it, as I would not want to upset her or our grandchildren. Bye now June.

Good on yer Paul! That's one of my favourite sayings - I'll believe it when I see it. I do try and be open minded about it too and try and think of a rational explanation for things that happen. Fact is, a lot of things that happen are difficult to explain. Jeanette

Hi Nat, I have seen my Grandmother, my Father and people that I don't know. I did not see my M i l but she made her presence know in an unpleasant way. When I was a child I used to tell my Mother about stangers that I could see. My teens were the worst. Nobody would believe except for my Mother and Grandmother. It took me years to block out the signs. I can sense things, normally bad things. When the phone rings and it is bad news I know before even picking up the phone. There is a very strong bond between my sister and I which is unusual as we did not grow up together as I am eighteen years older then her. She was born two months after our Grandmother died. We know when something is wrong with each other. I am afraid of the dark and always have been. I hate sleeping in strange places. I leave you to draw your own conclusions. Nat, I am only leaving this message on for awhile as I don't want it to turn into somthing nasty as seems to be the case lately. Lindy:-)

Lindy, please don't start removing perfectly normal messages for fear of how people will respond - if you do then the bad people of the world have won. accept taht perhaps some (like myself) will not beleive, but you shouldnt be afraid to express your beliefs.

Paul, well said! Everyone has a right to say what they want, don't let the minority spoil things for others. By the way Lindy, I know when my eldest rings me (before I pick up the phone), don't know how - another unexplained feeling. lol

Trish Caller display! lol. Only joking. I do that when my Mum rings and I haven't got caller display. Paul Well said! We are all entitled to our own opinions and I like to be presented with all sides of the story. It's a shame some people can't have a good healthy debate without resorting to nastiness. Plus, on here, we've got the option of ignoring it if we don't like it. Lindy I hope you leave your message on but will understand if you feel you have to remove it. Jeanette

Lindy, please don't remove your message. We all add to these threads because they are things we are interested in! I remember seeing my mum (or a short of shape like my mum) smoothing the covers on my top bunk when i was about 4. I was petrified and jumped down and crawled in behind my brother for the rest of the night. When i was about 12, I twice saw shapes in my bedroom in another house. I also get strange feelings about places and although my husband is a bit sceptical, when we were looking for our current house, he always asked how i felt about it. Strangely, our house is about 130 years old and it feels fine. Pam

I saw my grandfather about a week after he'd died. I was about 11 years old at the time and it scared me half to death. He looked solid and normal and just looked at me then he disappeared.

Like Jeanette I have feelings about places. One in particular was when I went with friends to a country pub in Sussex where I live, It dates back to the 1300s. As soon as I entered I felt really uneasy, and the whole place seemed to blur, I felt as if I was being smothered and had to get out immediately. A few years later with a boyfriend I went again, really to see if the same thing happened. I managed to stay in long enough to sit down, but the same feeling came over me and I couldn't stay in there. I went back once more a couple of of years later, same feeling again, but this time I stayed put. I had a camera with me this time and took a photo of the outside of the place. When they were developed that one did not come out. I don't know if the place was haunted or not, but I definately cannot explain why I felt like I did. (I had not even had a drink at any one of those stages!!) Lynda

Good evening all, In view of your replies I shall leave the message as is. Terri, In reply to your question. I do believe that it is genetic. My late Grandmother used to communicate with them and was not afraid. It bypassed my mother, but she is a believer. My sister cannot see but she senses things more strongly then I do. She can also sense death which bothers her very much. One of my young nieces can also see people and is not afraid because nobody makes a big deal about it. Lindy:-)

Hi lindy, I am glad that you decided to leave your message on. I know when my sister is phoning me, plus sometimes i can pickup the phone to dial her, but she is already on the line and the phone hasn't even rung, I go pressing buttons and she says hello Nat are you there spooky Nat
