Ghosts

There was a pit accident right under it in 1857. And a tenant killed his wife then shot himself in 1957. The medium told us this and then we checked it out in newspapers and mining records. This is why I now believe in ghosts LOL

And mediums don't do a quick bit of research and googling before coming round your house, do they?

Really. How rude can you get? The same thing re the research crossed my mind but there's no need to be insulting is there?

Back legs of a dog noise - any chance it could be related to the electrics, like a bad connection on a light fitting causing a sparking kind of a noise?

The living are a hell of a lot scarier than the dead, believe me. And can do you a lot more harm.

I've not heard your comment for a long time. I lost my mum nearly 4 years ago and she always used to say this to me when trying to settle me when I was younger. I am very scared of the dark and have a phobia about seeing ghosts.

Your post has made me smile.... Thank you

My DH has always been freaked out by the "feeling" he gets standing on the landing outside our bathroom. We have lived here 6 years, its a townhouse built in the late 1950's so not that old.

Before we moved the lounge downstairs it used to be on the middle floor with the bathroom and landing and this is where it always was freezing no matter how hot the rads! When we had our daughter 4 years ago the floorboards started creaking with no-one upstairs like someone was walking on them back and forth. Didn't really think anything of it until our daughter then about 2 and a half was in the lounge with us and suddenly looked towards to door to the landing and said "mummy what's that man doing in the hallway!!!":eek:

Of course there was no one out there and DH and I were really shocked! A couple of weeks later my mum was putting DD to bed and she said "Nanna, can you tell the man to go downstairs with you as I don't want him standing by my door all night again"

Now whoever he is is refered to as "the man" I have no idea who he is and as he hasn't done anything to harm us I am content that he is just there and part of the house!!

Oh my god:eek: :eek: :eek:

Think I should stop reading this thread otherwise I'll be having a very sleepless night!!!

Let's hope all these noises don't lead to this:

I was only 4 when that was shown, so I don't remember it. Although without watching the whole programme, not sure what it was about.

You can't beat the Hammer Horror stories.

This really scared me when I watched it when I was young.

C'mon people - of course ghosts don't exist!

Yes yes. I'm an atheist, and also have a background in science and if you had asked me a few years ago, I would have said the same thing. I grew up in a 1983 house which I remember seeing built, nothing unusual there at all. When I became an adult, I moved and one of the few places in the immediate area we could afford was an old Victorian two up two down. I never thought anything ofmit, until things started happening. At first, it was nothing you couldn't explain away, the odd lighter going missing, the tv controls, but the event that really gave me the heeby geebies, was one morning about 2 months after we moved in. My youngest daughter was 4 months old and may eldest was 2 years. My husband was going to work at 6am and I was up with the a baby for the morning feed. In those days, she slept in a portable Moses basket which I could just bring downstairs. On this occasion I know exactly where everyone in the house was. Hubby was in the kitchen with me, my eldest was upstairs asleep, the baby (only 4 months) was in her Moses basket screaming to be fed and my eldest was asleep where she remained all through this. Hubby and I were talking while I got the bottle ready and the baby stopped crying. I didn't think anything of it, but when I went to pick her up, she was playing with her eeyore toy which was her favourite. That toy had been on the mantle piece 5 feet away when I put her down to go fix the bottle.

My best friend came to babysit a few nights later and when we got home told us that she kept hearing noises and spent the night running up and down stairs fearing that my 2 year old was up to something, but each time she checked, they were both fast asleep.

Hubby, who is/was as down to earth as me was white as a sheet when I came in late from work one night. He said that he had been downstairs reading, heard a noise and went to investigate. He found the childrens toys arranged in a line at the head of the stairs, both children out for the count.

When we moved out, my eldest was 5 and told me she would miss talking to the 'shadow'. I had heard her talking to something in her room at night but always assumed it was a toy, or her sister, but she tells me she has clear recollections of a little girl who lived in the wall and a lady in the corner.

I don't believe in ghosts....honest. Still....I can't explain and these werent the only incidents to happen. I never did locate all of the missing lighters, over a dozen by the time we left.

Sorry mug. But any mug who believes anything a medium says is being mugged and deserves to be labelled, a mug.

Mediums, Astrologers and Priests. The triangle of !!!!!!!!ters, who rob the weak minded and emotionally vulnerable. But to the rationally minded have absolutely no control over, or power whatsoever.
It's like when a daft gypsy puts a curse on you (and i've had a few), of course curses don't work but it's the belief that they do that has the power over you and makes you look for stuff that you wouldn't normally, and anything bad you blame on the curse. That's how they work. Of course i don't believe in them, along with the Triangle of !!!!!!!!ters, and guess what? Nothing happens to me.

AND, if ghosts were real then surely there'd be billions of them bumbling around. And we'd have cow ghosts, mice ghosts and elephant ghosts. Seagul ghosts, whale ghosts. Even dinosaur ghosts!!! But no-one ever sees them do they?

My wife believes in ghosts and sees them all the time in every house she's ever lived in. I don't believe, and haven't seen a single one. The mind is a wonderous, mysterious and powerful thing.

Noooo! You clearly are NOT "into this". What right do you think you have to tell spirits to move. This is their home. It's like evicting a tenant who has a valid Fixed Term AST! That is quite rightly a criminal offence, well so should evicting/harassing ghosts.

After all, ghosts are people too.

You ARE joking - errr....arent you?

Personally - I would have no hesitation whatsoever in giving a ghost their "marching orders" - even if they were a friendly one.
