Ghosts - What are your experiences?

Not with you there Mojo. Are you saying CiaranG and his bro DIDNT see a ghost? They both clearly saw this man as kids, and then independantly recognised a photo of him as adults. The point is though, the man had been 80 odd years dead!

so do you mean that we both just imagined the face of this man?

sorry i'm a bit lost

No, I'm not disputing that the man's ghost was seen at all. Not at all. Anyway, how would it be for me (or anyone else, for that matter) to say what someone did or didn't see when I wasn't even there?

What I was going on about was that the sighting of the man in the window and then the article featuring a picture of the same man years later in 2000 sounded like a case of synchronicity to me. That's all.

That was how I'd explain it - not me trying to figure out how, or if, you saw a ghost, or whatever. If someone believes they saw a ghost, then I'll accept, for the most part, i.e. there isn't an obvious explanation, that they did see one. I've seen a few ghosts myself over the years..

So basically, you're saying it was a coincidence that he was in the paper aswell?

No, I'm saying it was a case of synchronicity, which differs from a coincidence in that it's a series of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated and unlikely to occur together by chance, yet are experienced as coming together in a meaningful manner.

In ciarang85's case, that doesn't just take into account him seeing the man in The Kerryman years later - it includes the original sighting of the man in the window of the house as well. Two events.

That wouldn't have been sleep paralysis, would it? I know you were half-asleep, but do you remember if you were you able to move at all?

I'm not trying to be a stickler here, but would it not be possible that Ciaran85's experiences were still just a very random and very flukey string of coincidences? I mean, to call it synchronicity, would there not need to be an element of timing involved? Like if two coincidences occured with an element of time, eg. if you desperately needed 50 quid, and then found a fifty on the street (at the time you needed it), or if the date the boys saw the pic of yerman was his aniversary? Thats what being synchronised is, isnt it?

Yes, of course. I acknowledged initially that there are many out there who would simply call ciarang85's experience(s) a mere coincidence. I think I unwittingly represented you there. That's grand.

When it comes to synchronistic events, the timing is irrelevant, unless it happens to be meaningful to the person in question (say, ciarang85 saw the photo of the man in the newspaper on the exact same date he had seen the man in the window originally).

Generally, synchronicity is considered broader and more pattern-focused than being centred on something 'smaller' like timing.

my problem was that it was me who first brought the word haunting up,she walked up to me in the village and said ;i have found this small cross in a field,do you think its valuable ? as i held it in my hand [the cross was only about a inch long and made of pewter] i felt very strange and said to her,;have you a problem in your home;she then went on to tell me there was a bedroom in the house that she has to keep locked because it has a ghost,i do not know why but i then knew that a old woman had killed herself in it,she confirmed that what i said was true,she even said she had gone to the grave yard to put flowers on the grave in hope that would have helped,she had even had in the parish priest in to pray,

Oh I see. You happened to bring it up and that got her talking about it.

she wanted me to go to her home to see if i could do anything,i felt guilty that i had to turn her down as i am not trained enough to get those lost souls to move on when they do not want to,i was very worried that anything i may do would make matters worse,all i could do was advise her to go on the net and contact a paranormal website i hope they could put her in touch with somebody that would help her,remember i was on holiday in the area[south wicklow] and i do not live in ireland.

That's understandable. There should be a fair bit of help out there for cases like hers. I know there are quite a few paranormal investigation teams dotted around Ireland, for example, but hardly any (if any at all) of them specialise in getting spirits to move on (in genuine haunting cases, that is).

From what I know, most (maybe not all) of the teams seem to be focused on gathering evidence of paranormal phenomena only, which is fine in itself. But there seems to be a very strong element of thrill-seeking involved in it too for some of the teams.

E.g. it appears to be a case of:"We persuaded the ghost to throw an EMF meter/knock/talk and now we can move on to investigate somewhere new next week." Or else they earmark that location for a repeat investigation at a later date because of all the exciting 'hits' they got, or intense activity.

I won't name any names of the teams I'm referring to now, but, personally, I just find it all a bit juvenile and disrespectful.

Their blasé approach reminds of the Jay-Z song 'On To The Next One':

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM1RChZk1EU

I think the Paranormal Research Association Of Ireland (PRAOFI) specialise in the resolution of (alleged - until proven otherwise) hauntings though.

But I'm veering OT now..

Shortly after my family moved into the house where i live now, when I was about six, I was sitting in the kitchen drawing when out of the corner of my eye I saw something moving outside the window. I looked up and saw a man walking through the garden. This wasn't unusual at the time because the houses were newly built and most people hadn't put up fences yet, so all that separated the gardens were pieces of wire and people often walked through other people's gardens. Anyway, I went to the back door to see what he was doing, but he was gone. It takes about 4 seconds to get from the kitchen table to the back door, it takes much longer to get from outside the kitchen window to the garden next wall/over the wall to the field behind the house.

A while later, when I must've been seven or eight I was at a horse riding camp. We used to leave our bags up in the viewing area and I had left something up there so I went up to get it. As I was turning to go back downstairs I saw a man standing at the top of the steps. He looked just like the man I had seen outside my kitchen window but I assumed that he was someone's father dropping up a bag or something. But then he started walking ABOVE THE STEPS and then just disappeared into thin air. it was clear to me then that it was the same fella who had been in my garden.

I've had other experiences too, but I've always felt that these two must had some significance because the same man appeared twice. I didn't recognise him and to this day I don't know who he was, but I've often thought that there must have been a reason that he appeared twice.

Also sorry for the long post, I'm not very good at shortening stories.

ok first I have had a few experiences.. i have only made it to the 7th page of this thread so i have a lot to catch up on I LOVE ghost stories but after a while i get a bit uneasy. So i was reading through the stories tonight and have to say some were really wierd and i could see things flashing in the corner of my eye. I am tired and put it down to the light reflecting off a strand of hair in front of my eye... swept back my fringe and sure enough it stopped but then i saw a shadow like a head (same size) go across the wall. I thought i imagined it so continued reading, then i saw it again so i stopped reading and looked at the wall. Then it went across again and turned and went back... Needless to say i thought i was after unleashing something by reading the stories... lol! Threw the laptop on the couch and my heart started pounding. I couldn't come up with a reason for it and i was getting ready to run when a fly appeared on the light.... It scared the bejaysis out of me!!

Anyway... the most bizarre experience was a few years ago. I had just started going out with someone and for some reason I felt brave enough to go into the pitch dark hall to turn on the light (the lightswitch was down the hall a bit). I would always get a wierd feeling at the lightswitch before i turned it on. It felt like something was wrapped around me without touching me, its pretty much impossible to explain it. It kind of felt like a light draught blowing from all angles and a bit like static but nothing was touching off of me. That doesn't make sense but at the time as it was happening they are the two things i considered it could have been but also ruled it out on the spot because it wasn't the same feeling. So this went on for about a year just in one spot in the whole house and i couldn't explain it but it didnt scare me. I never told anyone about it because I couldn't explain it and it would have been put down to a draught . Anyway after a year i was informed that my bf's dad had died in the exact same spot. Well i could feel the colour drain from my face and i couldn't talk. Luckily the light was off in the room and nobody noticed. So for the next two months this feeling got a bit stronger and i spent a bit more time standing in the spot trying to figure out what it was. Then i was in a predicament whether i should say something to my bf or not. Eventually decided to say it and i NEVER ever experienced it again since i told him. It was like it wasn't going to leave until i told him it was there. Funnily enough, it never scared me when it was there and when it disapeared I would stand in the spot waiting for it but nothing and it was at that point that i got scared. It was a real empty feeling and i don't like it so i don't volunteer to turn on the light anymore

My laser card vanished and after several months it reappeared on the worktop. Nobody put it there.......:eek:

There was a loud bang off of my bedroom door. It was like the bar of a hoover falling over and hitting off the door so i decided to get up and pick it up in case i got up during the night and fell over it. There was nothing outside the door at all

When my nan died i moved into the room she had been staying in. I had a television on a sturdy table beside the bed. On the night of her 1 month anniversary the whole lot toppled over and onto the bed.

Thats all i can think of...

A dif story which is really wierd is my mam is a twin and she was out in the back garden and there was a rock. She picked it up and said she would move it in case someone tripped over it. The phone rang minutes later and it was her twin sister saying she had just tripped over a rock in her back garden.... :eek: Twin vibes!!

Thats a long post...

half of a persons brain is not used,so no one knows for sure what it is there for,it is believed by those who are involved in the paranormal world that this is the part that of your brain that gives you the ability to experience and see ghosts/ and other not so normal things,i often know when a phone is going to ring and who will be on the other end,even though i may not have heard from them for some time,as far as twins it is proved beyond doubt that there is a mental and physical link

That's a myth. Every part of the brain is used for something. Brain scans show that nearly every part of the brain is continually active over the course of a day. If it were true that only half the brain is used then brain damage wouldn't be nearly as serious an injury.

I come from a family who are big believers in ghosts. And even my boyfriends family house has a history of hauntings (2 old ladies have always been seen at various times over the last 30 years).

Anyways my brother in law's parents live in a big country guest house that has an old barn in the back of the land. When they moved in the barn still had a noose in it from the times of the rebellions.
It's an awful barn, even to stand outside it. Very negative energy, even thought he rest of the property is lovely and inviting.
I could be here all day telling the stories from there- including people going in and hearing footsteps running above them, dogs getting trapped in impossible ways (collars wrapped around planks of wood), voices, faces etc etc etc. In short, its just a bad place.

Me, the boyfriend, sister and bro in law were all down in the house one weekend and we drunkenly decided to go down and have a look in the dark. My sister (who is all too familiar with the barn) stayed in the house. We headed down and went in. We stood inside for a minute and it was the usual bad atmosphere, very creepy. We were talking when suddenly my boyfriend pushed me back out the door and started yelling for bro in law to come too. When we were out he was completely white and shaking. Said he'd looked over to me and standing in the corner behind me was a thin blonde man just staring at us. He said there was something about the guys face, it was wrong somehow.
Again, this is a man who grew up in a haunted house and who I've never seen get scared of anything. Granted we'd been drinking so who knows, all I know is that reaction from him scared the crap out of me.
He's refused to go back down to the house ever since.

All of this paranormal stuff intrigues me but i would still consider myself a bit of a sceptic, however these certain little scéalíns i am about to share really freaked me out. I drove home from a friends house in castleknock one night, i got out of my car and came into my house going straight into my room to go to bed. I got into bed and was getting in that space between asleep and awake when as clear as day i heard a deep voice of a man whisper in my ear saying "the car".

This woke me up completely and my heart began to race i was so frightened. I got up and looked out the window at my car and it was still parked up against the wall of my house. Nothing was out of place and so i snuggled back into bed and fell asleep.

The next morning i was due to drive my brother over to a friends but i couldn't find my keys anywhere. So i took the spare key for my car and went out to get into my car and there in the door of my car where my keys. The reason i found this so unusual is because my car is central locking and so there is no reason why i would put my keys into the lock of the door. Also i used the keys to unlock the front door as the rest of my family were asleep as it was 3 in the morning when i was coming in, so i literally have no explanation for this but to this day the thought of that voice that whispered to me still terrifys me.

My other story is more weird than anything else i guess. When i was about 16 i was due to go to the gaeltacht in Connemara. Before i went however i kept having a recurring dream about an old graveyard encased within stone walls, this graveyard kind of sat on the top of a hill and onto a slope and i was at funeral in the graveyard and it was raining. It wasn't a modern day funeral as everyone was dressed in clothes from the 40s' also another strange aspect was that i was watching this funeral from the perspective of a young girl. The dream always ends with the girl looking out over the sea through the rain and walking towards the open grave.

Now i just thought that this was a weird dream until i got to the gaeltacht, walked into the room i was staying in and looked out the window right onto the exact same graveyard from my dream. I thought maybe i'd seen the graveyard before or been there when i was younger although when i asked my parents both said i'd never been. Freaky shtuff i tells ya!

Not a hope haha i actually switched rooms with one of the other girls. If i had to go to bed knowing that it was right outside my window i wouldn't have gotten any sleep whatsoever!:D

The car keys story is one of the strangest Ive ever heard. I dont suppose it was anyone in the house playing a trick on you? Have you heard the voice since?

Barbieliveshere

No because i was last to bed and first up and my bedroom is also right beside the front door on one side and the kitchen the other so i would have heard someone getting up and going outside. Also my brother was getting so aggravated at me for losing my keys because he needed the lift and i made him late looking for them. I have not heard the voice since nor would i want to it was so frightening! I try not to think about it too much the fact that it has no reasonable explanation frightens me beyond everything else so i try not to dwell on it.

newmug

Could it not be just that some scumbags broke into your house (maybe you forgot to lock the door!!!!) and one of them just muttered "the car" to the other, as in "Lets rob the car", but when they got to it, they tried opening it with the key instead of the zapper, and when they couldn't get it open, they just legged it?

Barbieliveshere

Seriously?

Hi Everyone. Wanted to share a story with you all to see what you make of it. I work evening shift and finish around 2am each night. Two weeks ago tonight I arrived home and as I was putting the key in the front door something grabbed my arm. Wasnt a threatining grab so just startled me a bit. Went to the bathroom to and as I closed the bathroom door I heard three loud knocks on my front door. Went to the door and there was no one there. Checked the three girls and the wife and they were all out for the count. Heres where it gets weird. Next evening over dinner was telling the wife what had happened and she as a pure sceptic thought I was raving. About twenty minutes later the mother in law calls and informs us that the neighbours up the road had a child pass during the night. Poor lady gave birth to boy/girl twins and the girl passed. Really freaked me out.

face1990

In reponse to Barbieliveshere's story:
My non-paranormal explanation is that you left the keys in the door of the car without realising it (how you got into the house, I'm not sure. Are you certain you didn't go back out to the car to get anything?).
Your subconcious mind was perhaps still aware of the keys being there, and when you were almost asleep you heard the voice. Dreamt it basically, because a part of your mind was aware of the keys being left outside.

That bit between wakefulness and sleep can be interesting (personally I find sleep & dreaming fascinating!). You can have all sorts of visual and auditory 'hallucinations', and physical sensations, as the brainwaves slow down and the concious part of the mind switches off.
More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogic_hallucination

Not to dismiss the idea that it may be supernatural, but that's my skeptic explanation!

You do realise this is the paranormal forum? And i already said how it was whispered in my ear, i also mentioned my room was beside both doors in the house and i would have heard somebody coming into the house... Go back to the skeptics corner.

See now this is an explanation i can work with! I am pretty sure i didn't go back out which is why i thought this fit in the paranormal forum. I also know the mind works in mysterious ways so i am open to the fact that it could have been my brain playing tricks on me. As i said at the start of my post i am also a bit of a skeptic but this to me is unexplainable because of the circumstances and what i experienced.

It can happen, but in the same way that if ghosts exist, then a more likely explanation is ghosts than the one you suggested. Even then however, I wouldn't choose the word "ghosts" for this situation, it suggests something too impersonal.


As for the comment on the subconscious mind, I find it a hard enough line of thought to follow. It's something I hear people say enough but the problem is this little aspect of unfalsifiability that attaches to it. It is a fall back comment almost: i.e., if you were not initially aware, then it must have come from your subconscious.

However, with your case Barbieliveshere, even accounting the voice in your ear (if you feel it bore no externality), that explanation seems quite possible seeing how there appeared no threat in relation to your car or similar. That is to say, had you been warned by some external being about the keys of the car, then it might have been for more of an important reason. Unless of course, your brother being late made some sort of an impact on him or even your relationship with him (i.e., how he was aggravated with you). Even if there was enough of an impact that way, then the reasons you were not "warned" again may suggest just the subconscious at work. On the other hand, the mind may be more receptive in the state of sleep you were in, hence receiving it then; but the message not severe to conjure a definite attention-grabbing repeat of the communication, for the reasons were not that impactful, e.g., a life threatening situation would prompt more warning had it been a message from another being (or even if your car was about to be robbed).

Hi there everyone I move house about 7 or 8 years back I live in my first newly built house for over 20 years a great family home but coming up to Christmas every year we where visits by two small children, I say they would be around 10 maybe a bit older it was only the shape of them you could see as they would be surrounded by a grey haze, the first time I saw them I was going up stairs and about half way up I look up and their they where on top of the stairs on the landing I has no fear of them we stared at each other for a few seconds then they just drifted through the wall into the hot press between the front room and back room, I carry on doing what I was doing and for some strange reason I forgot to tell my wife, the following week I was in the kitchen and my wife was up stairs a few minutes later she can into the kitchen and without any fear in her face she told me I'm just after seeing two children floating through the bedroom wall, I told her that I seen the exact same thing last week and she say the strangest thing about it is I wasn't scare I said neither was I, our children where small at the time but we never told them and they never mention anything to us about seeing them and every year my wife and I would see these two kids only for a few seconds and funny enough they look as if they where having fun, and then a few years before we move they stop coming, when our kids where older we told them and I have to admit they where disappointed we didn't tell them at first, they said they would have has great found with them, which I thought was a very funny thing to say, just like to think that those two kids are happy wherever they are, now my wife had a very scary moment one time in the same house she was hoovering the back room when she turn to see a dark shadowy figure sitting on the edge of the bed she fall to the ground and literally crawl out of the room when she look back the figure was gone, the worse thing about it was she was on her own but thankfully that was the only scariest moment she had, I know there will be some who won't believe this but I wouldn't have taking the time to write this if it wasn't true and I don't get a kick out of lying to people, just in case someone ask the shadowy figure appeared long before the two kids stop coming, thanks to those who put this website together, great job.

My brother went to Loftus Hall today, I'm sure most of ye have heard the story about it and now its open again.

But anyway, he told me that they were getting a guide around it today or around the grounds whichever but it started lashing so the tour guide brought them inside some room where they could see monitors with 4 camera's live footage, much like "something from Paranormal Activity", (my brother's own words haha), then a child and two of my brothers friends screamed at the same time, supposedly the woman who haunts the house, who died of insanity, walked across the screen. Unfortunately, my brother didn't get to see it himself as his friend just so happened to block his view at that very moment, funnily enough he said his friend screamed in a high pitched voice "OH MY GOD, THERE WAS A GHOST, A GHOST!!" hahahaha.

He was wondering, just like I was, would it have been staged as the tour guide knew people were gonna be looking at the cameras but surely the word would have been going around if that was it.

Really wanna go there myself now, sounds so interesting!
