Do You Believe in Ghosts?

I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks, I do I do I do I do I do!

I've seen what I believe to be UFO's.

I've encountered what I believe are ghosts.

I'd say more, but Zuul is strongly advising me against it.

I saw a man with a hat once...it was on back to front

We once lived in a house where we experienced some odd phenomena. It was a newer subdivision that was built on land where a particularly bloody battle apparently took place during the War of 1812. Several times, my father would be home by himself and clearly hear footsteps in the upstairs bedroom. One time these were accompanied by a crash, and running footsteps. He ran upstairs and found nothing. I thought he may have been pulling my leg, but one time my friend and I were watching TV in the living room when no one else was home. We both clearly heard footsteps of someone slowly decending the stairs (not visible from where we were sitting). They were clear footsteps, not creaking, or the house settling or whatever, they were unmistakable. We were both freaked out of course, and went to look at the stairs but nothing was there.

We only lived there for about 6 months (my parents were renting it, in between selling one house and buying another one). I have no idea what was going on there, but I can't really deny it as being something like a ghost. I'm open minded that way, I can't say for certain what weird things may or may not be out there. No one really can for sure, we all just have opinions on what we believe is or isn't real.

I want to reiterate what a great thread this has become. Fascinating entries from all who have contributed.

I realized, shortly after writing the original blog, that every strange 'occurrence' I experienced happened on a Tuesday. Thus, I eagerly awaited yesterday, to see if anything unusual would happen.

I'm happy to report that absolutely nothing happened. It was actually a pretty boring day. In fact, NOTHING strange has happened since I first posted.

I guess I'm back to being a cynical skeptic. Well, except to say that reading some of these posts has me curious about the possibilities...!

I've never experienced anything spooky but a friend of mine in junior high said she lived in a haunted house. The house was built back before the Civil War and in the dirt basement (what they called an old food storgae area) it was said slaves were hung there. She always talked of strange things always happening throughout the house. Of course i never did pay a visit there.

I am so hooked on that show on the Discovery Channel, Haunting. It's very fun and creepy. I was starting to freak out last night with all the lights turned off. I got to stay home yesterday caring for my toddler who was too sick to go to daycare and I was able to watch two episodes of it. I love this stuff...
