I don't believe in them, don't believe in life after death, nor any religion. To believe in one, then really you have to perhaps believe in all - besides which, I have never in my life, come across anything which was not easily explainable.

Except, Avril (with supposedly) similar lack of belief, has been regularly watching 'Help - My house is haunted', plus the celebrity version. I must say, they do seem very, very convincing, that they are genuine. But the formulae, is more or less the same, edition after edition, and very predictable.

My wifes aunt claimed she saw a ghost in an old mansion they were staying in, a grey lady bending over her daughters cot, gerraway, how come its never some floozy in hot pants and crop top
 
I stood in a hospital chapel with local news photographer in 1970s that was taking pictures before it was knocked down. What a surprise there is a ghost in the picture when published.
I never seen it. Picture in our local museum in the ghost section. I wonder if it's still there?

I'll tell you what an undertaker told me.
It's the living you got to watch out for. The dead won't hurt you!
If you want to see a ghost then wait until you age a bit and mind starts going or get on the lash. Ha.
 
I didn’t and was adamant about it, until this year when we rented a cottage in seahouses.

The inner doors kept blowing open when you’d expect them to blow shut. The tv would turn its self on and off, the main reason for me thought was our dog wouldn’t sleep upstairs without me. She is usually glued to the Mrs.

I felt really uncomfortable all of the last night there

I don't believe in ghosts. But if I saw something that wasn't explainable, I might think again.

A mate of mine from college saw an old geezer with a stick who asked him the time. He was on the corner of his street and the main road. My mate literally glanced down at his watch, then looked up and there was no sign of the bloke at all, in any direction.

One of my Mum's friends regularly met a ghost on the stairs of her very old house that used to be a stable block in the 1700s.

She eventually told him that they were safe in their house and that she didn't need him to look after them and she never saw the ghost again.
 
yep definitely one too long a story to go into but no other explanation for what happened . 100% .
Other a figure in middle of a dorm with about 5 witnesses when we all said in morning about seeing someone standing there
 
Since there is a few sparkies on here, may be someone could give an explanation to the most bizzare thing I have ever encountered

We have these stone statue things in the garden, that I had bought for my wife at xmas, we have the lit by solar lights,
 
Some of the stories leave little room for any non-spooky explanation, but we're all more "suggestible" than we realise.
Then there are phenomena like St Elmo's fire which baffle for centuries.

And sometimes there really was someone prowling the dorm.....

I "remain to be convinced".

When I was 7, I experienced something at night I knew I couldn't tell anyone about because they would say I made it up. Noise, bright light illuminating the bedroom past the curtains, shock wave, sudden stop... I spent years of childhood haunted by it, wondering what it "meant".
Later I learned it's exactly what a meteorite causes.
 
When you sleep the part of your brain that processes time is switched off. It’s why sometimes the morning alarm integrates in to your dream with perfect timing. It’s therefore easy for your brain to misfile a dream as reality.

Whether there was some intelligent “hand” in the design of the universe.. who knows.. it’s as daft to rule it out as it is to be certain it was your god of choice.
