Anyone ever have had an encounter with ghosts?

My old aunt had died at about the time of my birthday when I was younger and I remember coming in from outside and feeling a huge sadness in my room, almost a cold chill or whatever and then having my parents tell me that she had died in a car wreck. I remember almost feeling like there was something in the air comforting me around the time of my birthday.

Well my uncle got remarried, and I was still young, but felt really weird about the wedding, almost like I didn't want it to happen. I know some of my Uncle and Aunts children were aprehensive as well, but as the wedding began to take place, suddenly a white light appeared (ball shaped), and touched each my Uncle's 3 children on the head during the wedding. I did not myself see this occur, but my cousin had seen it, and had told my Uncle who had also seen it, and a few people came up after the wedding whose father had seen it as well.


To tell you the truth, I think this may have been captured on Video, with it being somewhat hard to make out, but being evident that it was more than a glare in the camera.


I will contact my uncle and see if he is willing to allow me to examine the video to see if it was captured or not.


But anyways I have always believed in ghosts since then and have had a few more weird occurances since then.


I tend to get shivers in very hot rooms alot while laying in bed just thinking, and have had a few times where I feel being watched, as well as waking up with a jump and thinking I see someone out of the corner of my eye.

could this experience of Believing in ghosts open oneself up more to seeing them manifest?

I guess you can say I have had an encounter with a ghost,but I didn't think of it as such at the time..it was just "talking to Dad".
My Dad died in 1998. About 2 weeks after his death, I was in a state of half sleep when I clearly, and lucidly, saw him sitting on the other side of the bed. I remember how I stared into his blue eyes and thinking "gee, I've never noticed how blue his eyes are.". I wasn't scared or alarmed. I KNEW it was him and he seemed almost to be in a physical body, but everything below his chin level, was kind of "wavey". His face was perfectly clear and direct.
We spoke a bit..he thanked me for caring for him in his last days and then he said he wouldn't be coming back to see me because it "took too much energy" and then he was gone.
I know this was not a dream. It was totally real. If it was wishful thinking, on my part, and I imagined the whole thing (as skeptics would say), I'm glad I did.
I always thought of "ghosts" as something scarey, but, when encountering a loved one who has "passed over", it's not scarey at all.
It was a tender, touching encounter.
joey

I was once alone in my house and as I turned a corner, I saw a mirror image of myself staring back at me. It disappeared a second later but I couldn't explain it. Maybe some kind of out of body experience? It was all misty looking but looked exactly like me (including clothes).

It was at a cemetary that is known to be a very haunted place in the chicago land area. I have been up there many times .This particular night I was up there with some friends I saw a old man in a yellow rain coat and old fashion wide brim yellow rain hat. Along next to him was a little boy wearing the knicker pants that started at the knees and had a long sleeve white button up shirt and a brown vest. The clothes this little boy was wearing was the attire from the 1920's.

I have had some encounter. However not to an extent as other people. I sometimes hear voices. I just shrug them off. It's very weird. I don't have any explanation for this. I assumed I was imagining things. What do you think?

I beleive it .There has been people who hear voices from the spirits decest trapped.

my husbands father had passed away about 2 yrs before we moved in together(i didn't know he had passed in the house we lived in). about a year and a half ago, we had been out all morning away from the house. My now step son (who was 22 yrs old then) came out the door and asked how long we had been home. He said he saw his dad in our den looking in a laundry basket, only we weren't home. my husband looks a lot like his dad so i said joking that it must have been a ghost. several times the doors would open and close on their own, or i would see just a glimps of someone walking through the room out of the corner of my eye. we moved since then, and not another time have i seen him.
there have been other times and places, but this is the most recent. hope this is what you were looking to find.
