share your ghost stories!!!!

A friend of mine lived in an old Revolutionary War home near the center of Phila.

I had started to tell stories, but my computer went down.

All I can say, is that I spoke to her other friends who had spent the night and her husband, and suffice to say, all stories basically matched. The construction people who came to update a few things, left their tools and job undone. Her cat constantly freaked out. He loved women, hated men, and saved her life when she was walking down her spiral staircase in a long nightgown, lost her footing, fell forward, only to be yanked up by the scruff of her neck. It was the young, handsome, Revolutionary War soldier who she had seen before.

Some people call me crazy, but there were people who witnessed this and was just about as about it as me! There is an old mining processing facility a few miles away from my parents house. There are old stories going around about occult activity going on in the underground parts of the facility even when it was running back in the 1800s. As I recall, a flood shut the place down but there were rumors flying around about evil spirits and such causing an accident that killed several people. The ruins have stood empty ever since whatever happened, and a lot of people went to the place to try and figure out what happened. I went exploring with a few of my friends one night and as we were walking on the outside of the main building the wind suddenly picked up and we heard this awful moaning/howling noise. Next thing I knew, something picked me up and threw me OVER a 4 foot barbed wire fence! We high tailed it out of there! I never went back at night...eventually the state put up a huge fence and closed the place down entirely to foot traffic. They said it was because the building was unsafe (and it was I am sure) but talking to several people the occult activity out there was a factor in the decision to put up a fence too!

This isn't entirely a ghost story, but it is a Halloween story. There used to be a big flower and garden store that would do an annual haunted house (Chicago people: Amlings Melrose Park store). I stopped going when I moved away to college. My best friend decided one year that even though we were grown-ups, this would be our year of recalling high school days and going to the haunted house. It was single file in some parts, and she went first. And every time something happened and she screamed, I just burst out laughing. As this went on (and on), she started getting annoyed with me for laughing! By the time we got to the end, she was ready to clobber me. To this day I don't know why I was struck funny by the whole thing. She passed away almost a year ago, and although I still miss her tremendously, this is a happy memory I have of her.

The closest thing I have to a ghost story is the day my grandmother passed away. She was in hospice care and not responsive for a couple of days before she died. One night I dreamed that she came to me and very clearly said, "I haven't had anything to eat or drink for a few days, but I'm all right now." And the next thing I remember after that was the phone ringing - my sister calling to let me know the hospice had called and my grandmother had died in her sleep during the night. I can't explain it, but I remember it well. I can even tell you that she was wearing a lavender sweater in the dream.

these are all great! I love reading them...

a friend of mine was telling me about when she was younger, her and a couple other frineds stayed the night with another friend. It was really late at night and her friends parents came in drunk. A little while later, the all saw this naked woman pass by the living room door and through the hallway towards the friends room. She told me that she could see everything but the face. They figured it was her mom and they went to see what she was doing. There was no sign of her when they walked into the bedroom. The only thing they saw was wet footsteps leading to the closet and when they went to her parents room, there was the mom laying in bed fully clothed with their two rotties laying ontop of her.

needless to stay, when she told me this story, it had me completely freaked out! lol!

I have plenty, but all are quite lengthy and probably no one would believe them anyway. They all center around a little boy (poltergeist ) that used to visit very frequently. He became such a frequent and harmless visitor that we actually gave him a name - Freddy. He was friendly and mischievous, but never threatening or malicious. Now that there's no small children around for him to "play" with, he doesn't come around anymore.
He started visiting when my kids were quite young, but when they got older, he disappeared. For years there was no sign of him at all - until the grandchildren came on the scene. Then he came back too. The grandkids are now 13 and 17, and it's been several years now since Freddy came to visit.....
I actually miss him.

thats really cool. I believe my daughter can see the ghost in my home too. She is just two years old though.

Exact same thing happened to me with my grandfather. He passed away last July, and the next night, I dreamed of him. It was just him, in a suit and tie, and he was just adjusting his tie and he was smiling at me. He was getting ready to meet his love, which was my grandmother, who passed away in 99'. He kind of, gave me this sense of feeling that everything was okay, and he is going to be okay and he's happy again. The next day was his wake, and I remembered one specific thing - he was wearing the exact same suit and tie that he had on at the wake/for eternal. I believe he was just wanting to let me know it was going to be alright, I was having a really, really tough time about losing him. I was very close with him and I still miss him tremendously, but I just have this peaceful feeling that he is with her now and it's a good feeling... not much of a ghost story either but true experience!

I have actually seen my grandfather once. my friend and I were in my room and she looked at the window and said " whats the white ball of light coming in the room" I look over and watching this white ball of like form into a white light figure of a man and it walked towards me!!! First thought was my grandfather. We screamed as loud as we could and nobody could hear us until he vanished! At the time I had a puppy named Zoe who was deaf and she was grunting and crying in her sleep because I think she knew he was there. I went ot a medium and asked him about it and sure enough he said it was my granfather checking in on me. Also 3 months after my grandfather died my grandmother died, at her memorial at the graveyard my 2 yr old cousin at the time screamed over to my uncle (her father) "theres pappy standing over there!" he was in a black suit with a tie. watching the memorial with the family and friends.
