I know I made a post about this LONG ago but. . . .


Ok, so I have a friend who's family has a history with ghosts and stuff. Their family is really open to that stuff and he has seen them almost all his life. Well he has been having weird stuff happen to him lately. Sometime ago, he played with a wigi board and never closed himself out. He called his auntand told her what has been going on and she came over, did some stuff with the board again and took pictures. Lots of things came up on them too.

Do you guys believe in ghosts? have you ever seen one?Are you scared of them? Do you think they can harm you?

I'm supposed to go to his house this weekend because his aunt is bringing the wiji board back to close him out and I don't knwo what else. I want to go but I don't want to get hurt. i use to watch stuff on T.V. about ghost throwing things and stuff, tht freaks me out. Sorry if I sound odd or crazy. I am interested in this stuff but it freaks me out. Would you go if you were me?

If it scares you, I would suggest you don't go. I find it interesting - but not in a ghosts are totally fer real kind of way. More in a... 'well, maybe' kind of way.

Think of it this way, a HUGE number of people have died. HUGE. Why aren't we 'seeing' more ghosts then? I mean, why isn't EVERYWHERE haunted? Because only precious people get to come back? Or really bad people? Or people connnected to places? Hooey. I think there is probably a rational way to explain everything.

Ever watch Ghost Hunters? The majority of time they debunk what 'could' be ghosts and find it is normal house sounds (pipes, loose boards, wind on windows, etc) - and incredibly RARELY they might find something.

Don't go if you are afraid. There is no need to scare yourself Smile

Well, there aren't more because the ghosts that are there following him around, have not gone to heaven. they are stuck on earth due to unfinished business. Since he played with the wiji board he opened himself up to it, meaning they see him as a portal or as help to finish their business here. He said if I don't touch the board I should be fine.

I am scared but that kind of thing fascinates me a lot and I thout it would be interesting to do.


I have the pics if you guys want to see.

My point was, if this is scary for you - then you shouldn't do it - because chances are that you will find something out of the ordinary to be scary. The situation will make something that could be semi frightening, very frightening.

How did these particular souls not make it to heaven, do you think? I'm curious.

My BFF in middle school was always talking about ghosts in her house. Except, I literally LIVED at her house for 3 years and I never saw or heard a single, solitary thing. But she insisted that she saw a ghost of a little boy once and knew her house was haunted. - I had no experience of that at all.

Have you ever seen the show "ghost hunters" on the sci fi channel?? They're all about disproving the sightings of ghosts.

I believe in them, but to an extent.

I think the human brain can trick itself into thinking something is there. And if there are people barking in your ear about the ghosts, your brain is more likely to see/hear something that REALLY isn't there.

I don't know Melissa. Living in New Orleans, we're basically KNOWN for our VOODOO and hauntings (myrtle plantation(which was JUST proven haunted by the ghost hunters), along with all our other plantations).
But I'm not one to jump and say Oh I saw a ghost!! Or oh the ghost hurt me!!

Ya know what I'm saying?

I'd go. Don't be scared. Unlike what you hear, ghosts can't hurt you. It's all in the imagination!

I wouldn't go. Even if you had nerves of steel, you weren't there when he opened it, you being there would interfere and probably make the ghost mad.

I wholeheartedly believe in ghosts. In fact, Earl's ex wife is always walking around and coming into my mind. His son always sees her as well, and it actually puts Earl's mind at peace because she always said she'd look after him and that's exactly what she's doing.

When I was little, there was something standing on my bed (like my sister was coming off the top bunk), and of course it was right next to the closet. But I somehow got enough courage to put my hand in the spot and it was ICY! I still don't know how I got to sleep that night.

Ghosts can't hurt you, but demons can. Ask my friend Steve. Ever since he was little (like 5ish) a dark figured man with red eyes follows him and will occasionally scratch his leg, always in the same exact spot too. Not to where it bleeds, but kinda like a dog scratch. I watched it form one time, so that's enough for me.

There's a place where I used to live, we would go and take pictures at night. There was PLENTY of evidence that there was something supernatural there. Ever take a picture of someone smoking at night? that's what it looked like, but there was NO smoke anywhere near us. I'm gonna have to find those pictures... But in the 'smoke' there was a face that was screaming, so I don't think they like us.

wow, that was long, I'm done.

I get what you are saying. On another note about your friend, my mom sees things and so does my sister but I have not seen anything but out of the corner of my eye. We all live in the same house. my mom said it's because i'm not open to seeing them even though I believe.

I've seen LOTS of shows proving it and some actually show things being tossed around the room. Once, I was in bed, I had a bunk bed so when you sat on it, it made noise and moved very easily. I was turned towards the wall and felt/heard my bed go down like someone sat on it. I thought it was my cat but when I turned around there was nothing there. I couldn't trick myself into thinking something was there because 1. I wasn't thinking abotu things like that, I thought it was my cat and 2. I FELT and heard my bed move. there was no explanation for it.

Never thoguht of that. there are about 3 spirits in his apartment. One who said her name was Lori, she is playful and the other wouldn't talk. His aunt said he was negative and wouldn't even really come out but to the end of the short hallway. That spirit wants my friend out. She saw another when she took pics and it seemed that it and the negative one always stayed around each other.

Not the exact same as my mom but she sees her grandmother and her mother. We smell my nana sometimes too.

when I was little I use to feel like there was someone in my room, standing next to my bunk bed and I got freaked so I use to completely cover my body with my blanket and left a spot to breathe. I always felt there was something there, never knew why.

I have a picture of me when I was 13 or 14 & someone was smoking & in the smoke there was a face of an old man. It was clear as day. I'll have to see if I can find that picture. We found out later that 2 old men had died in the house near the window where I was sitting when I had that picture taken..

lol ok I'll start with the most recent.. about... 6 months ago??

I was laying in bed one night tossing and turning and all of a sudden it felt like something was pushing down on my chest not letting me move. I tried to reach for Rob, i tried screaming for him but i couldn't move and all that came out was a raspy whisper. I could hear something whispering in my ear.. but i couldn't make out what it was. It sounded mean tho. So i got my ass up and went next door to my moms and sat on her couch crying i was terrified lol.

Another one.. lets see, these aren't scary, but still paranormal.

My mom was about.. 15 years old, walking down some street in Virginia where her and her family lived at the time (my grandfather was Air Force so they moved a lot) anyway, she felt like somebody was following her, and turned around and there was this guy dressed as she described as looking like Abraham Lincoln.. same type of clothes and hat. Well she started running, ran a few steps, turned around and he was gone. and apparently it was an open area with nothing for him to hide behind.

Then, about a year before my grandpa died... back in.. 2000.. my grandmother had bought a dresser at a church rummage sale and brought it home and set her bible on it.. in the middle of the night she watched it open and start flipping pages like somebody was leafing thru it.

Hmm.. lets see... my grandma sees stuff.. like, evil faces on her ceiling.. OH OH OH Her house.. is HAUNTED. I'm dead serious. Like, she called my mom HYSTERICAL one evening because it was just her and my 10 year old uncle Camry there, they had just gotten home from grocery shopping when all of a sudden they could hear the doors start slamming shut in the back of the house. So my mom had to drive over there to make sure there were no intruders and stuff. No one there. My brother (who lives with my grandma) has heard voices behind him... hes gotten so used to it he tells them to shut up lol.

I have more if anyone wants to hear them... my family isn't crazy i swear lol.
