Ghosts?

[dmc]

A number of years ago, my wife and I were staying in Stowe at an inn that was built in the early 1800's. I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I saw a man standing at the foot of our bed. After I woke up completely, I realized there was no one there. I wrote it off as a dream and went back to sleep. The next morning at breakfast, without any prompting from me, my wife said, "I had the weirdest dream that there was a man standing at the foot of our bed last night." :-o

I SWEAR to you that my Aunt and Uncle had the same thing happen in their house they moved into a long time ago..
First night there... Woman at the foot of the bed.. wow...

Do you guys ever watch Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel? There's some freaky stuff in there.

Definitely some strange stuff, I used to always watch it. Especially when they were at some local places,

theres a supposedly haunted forest in freetown. after going there 3 times and having very strange stuff happen twice, i'm a believer something supernatural is going on there.

Not me but my coworker/supervisor had one experience. His friends grandpa had just passed away, and he is staying with his friend one night and wakes up and sees the grandpa over the bed, still cares to talk about it now.

I operate under the assumption that ghosts don't exist, but am fully prepared to change that opinion should events warrant.

+1. But I'm expecting to change my opinon approximately never. I can't watch any of those ghost shows for more than 2 minutes without groaning at the bullshit.

"What was that! You hear it? Oh, that's freaky! Oh my God it's a sound!!! So unexplainable!"

Mystery solved, I knew there was a logical explanation. Our factory is a hodgepodge of buildings that have been added onto over the years, and though it seems like a straight shot the length of the plant, it isn't, there's a jog about a quarter way down. This jog obstructed my view of the light at the end of the plant. I couldn't see the wall in the dark. The night shift employee did leave the lights on near the time clock, I just couldn't see it because of the wall. What a dumbass, it did fool me though, maybe being alone in the middle of the night in the huge plant contributed to my foolishness. Now I can go on not believing, and working alone late at night...damn.

That's it? I was expecting to read that you came face to face with 6 ghosts and you fought them off or something!

I believe in ghosts. For years I've been seeing one at our ski house in VT. I'm not the only one who see's him either. Doesn't scare me at all. We think his name is Patrick because there is a tombstone in the basement bearing that name.

You post that in a casual manner and my mind has a billion questions such as

What does he look like? Flesh and blood or can you see through him? How is he dressed? Is he even dressed?

Ever try talking to him? Does he talk? If he doesn't and he's in your house have you ever tried swinging at his head with a baseball bat?

Ever tried to take a picture? Ever consulted an "expert"? The list goes on and on.

He's just a shadow & is only seen in one room of the house. Like I said I'm not the only one who see's him.

Sorry to disappoint you, maybe I should have made something up. I figured there had to be a logical explanation for what I was experiencing, but it did freak me out a little. Glad I posted however, it's interesting hearing other's stories and takes.

Tombstone in the basement?

We need a photo of this. That's creepier than any ghost.

Yeah it's been in the basement for the 50 years we've owned the house. It's now part of the cement floor we put in about 10 years ago when we did the foundation over. It's still visible. Can't remember off hand what year he passed but the house is over 150 years old. Here's a pic of the house, sorry about the clarity..

 

[deadheadskier]

Need further explanation. Was the tombstone laying around that you incorporated into the foundation, or was there an actual grave site in the basement?

Still creepy either way.

 

[steamboat1]

It was just laying in the basement. It's cracked in 1/2 so that's why we incorporated it into the floor. The kids get a kick out of it.

I think we've just read the plot for The Grudge Part 97, or Amityville Horror 18.

As a kid I used to watch Casper all the time.
