Lets start from the beginning...

Part of me is wanting to tell you all of my experiences, the other part of me is telling me how stupid this is but either way i registered for a reason so i might as well get it over with.
Ok, well here goes. finding a place to start is harder than i thought it would be but i guess the beginning would be the best place. Both my brother and I have both seen well, spirits or ghosts or whatever you want to call them. the very first time we saw one was in our bedroom one night a middle aged woman was just standing at the end of my brother's bed just looking at him but it was wierd, she just looked like a blurred image of a woman with brown long hair but no distinct facial features. we were both pretty calm if not a little scared but neither of us screamed. that was my first experience with the paranormal. i'm not sure how old i was back then but it was before i started going to primary school. at the time it just felt like a dream because nothing like that could be real i thought nothing of it at the time but from that moment on ghosts really interested me.
Not long after, my brother was diagnosed with Meningitis and we almost lost him but by a miracle he stayed with us with only minor brain damage. alot of years passed by before i experienced anything else. I was in high school at the time and bullying was really getting to me so on one of my lowest days i decided to end it by hanging myself with my school tie. I tied the knot as tight as possible and jumped from my bed while the other end was tied to a cupboard handle. instead of hanging i just hit the floor. the tie had come loose at the other end. my friend who's a spiritualist seems to think that on that day i had someone looking out for me but i just blame a crappy knot.
when i finally hit my 20s that's when things started picking up alot. i've lived in the same house all my life and there have been notable activites. i'd see objects moving by themselves, Doors, cups sliding across the table, things falling from shelves. things going missing only to appear where they were before afew months later even though we'd checked there. one of the biggest things to move was the mirror in the bathroom, it's secured to the wall tight and there's no way it can fall but one day we heard an almighty bang in the bathroom, which is just normal in our house. things are always dropping off of shelves in there, even though they're secure. but this bang was much louder so we went to investigate, the mirror had come off of the wall and craced the corner. we checked the contacts on the mirror to try find out why it had dropped but both the brackets on the wall and on the mirror were intact and there is no way that it could have just fallen. Most of the activity in our house is in the bathroom for moving objects and even an eerie tune playing which i recognise as the first few bars of Fur Elise. even my mum hears it sometimes. our neighbours don't have that tune on their phones or on anything in their house and niether do we.
around 3 years ago i finally started seeing things again. but it wasn't a whole apparition but just shadowy figures, it was just like looking at a shadow standing upright that didn't have a shadow of it's own. but i didn't see that at home, i would have totally freaked out if it was at home that apparition i saw at work. when i first started my job they told me that we had a ghost, naturally i didn't believe them and passed it off as just a ghost story to tell the newbies. i started picking up on other things at work too. like lifts and doors moving by themselves without anyone being around. i saw the shadowy figure twice 8 months apart, it just was standing there looking at me or at least it looked like it was looking at me.
When i saw the shadowy figure at work i talked to my brother about it and he said that every time he was about to go into hospital for something he always sees a woman with long brown hair at his bedside which sent a shiver douwn my spine at the time of hearing him say that.
2 years ago while i was playing on World of Warcraft on my laptop in my bedroom i saw what i can only describe as a ethereal orb the size of a football. not like that rubbish you see on Most Haunted which is more than likely just dust particles reflecting on the night cam. it just had that effect you see eminating off of a hot surface but it was round and quite big. anyway i saw this orb enter my room through the corner of my eyes and turned to face it, wiped my eyes thinking it must just be something in my eye but it wouldn't go away. it moved to my right then turned around back out of my door. i was a lil freaked out and thought i must be tired so i turned off my laptop and went to bed. as i was settling down and about to drift off to sleep i heard a loud thud on my pillow and lept out of bed and ran to the bathroom rinsing my face with water. i went back into my room, turned on the light but nothing was there.
These days the only thing i see are moving doors, the noises in the bathroom have quieted down a lil but things are still falling from the shelves. i got tired of seeing my door open and close by itself so i replaced it with a curtain. now instead of the whole door i just see the bottom right corner of the curtain flip up as if someone is poking their head through to have a look. whenever it happens i always feel a sense of curiosity coming from that direction and i think it may be a cat that belonged to a neighbour of ours.

Furthermore when my epilepsy was acting up afew years back, i was seeing and hearing alot more spirits or whatever. that was the same time i saw the Football sized orb enter my room. but after my epilepsy settled down i stopped seeing them. now all i see is just things moving without any reasonable explaination. when i could see these things i hated it but now i don't see them i kinda miss it. it made me feel special in a way. although try telling that to someone's face without them saying "you are special" with a hint of sarcasm.

at the time i was on another Paranormal board and they mentioned that a theory was that when the brain sparks it may enable us to temporarily see ghosts. from my experiences i'd somewhat agree with this but even though i say i agree i still think it sounds like tripe.

and that's basically it. i hope you've enjoyed reading it. it was nice to take a quick stroll down memory lane however wierd it was.

interesting story primrosa - the woman you saw in your room as a child - i had a similar experience around that age but unfortunately nothing since Sad

the shadowy figure at work - some people call them black masses and they are usually regarded as negative spirits - heres a video with one in it:

it definately sounds like there is paranormal activity in your home - but it doesnt seem to be anything 'bad' - a good idea would be to set up cameras especially in the bathroom

its funny - when you are talking about the black figure - i would love to see something like that - it is good to have confirmation that there is life after death - many people never get such confirmation

you mentioned the second time you saw it, it was through the corner of your eye - this is the most common sightings of these types of entities - usually seen in the peripheral vision or just going around corners etc...

it could very well be the individual who died there

here is footage similar to what you described - a dark silouette of a person:

Since most of the activity in the bathroom happen during the day, do you think i should have it recording through the day or just the night? i'm not too sure on the process. i guess day would make more sense but every time i watch one of these programmes they always do it at night. would it pick something up during the day?

another way primrosa would be to get a good paranormal team in and they will have all the equipment and will know exactly what to do
