|
|
I've never really believed in ghosts before my experiences, but "paranormal" things have happened that even people visiting have picked up on, and think there's a ghost around.
These include:
- sounding like there's people walking up and down the stairs when there's no one else in the house
- sounding like someone's doing something in the kitchen (clattering of pans)
- keyboard making sounds (one key only)
- the feeling of a warm hand on my knee
- other people feeling like someone is behind them
However it's been all quiet recently!
Could this be a ghost?
Thanks for your answers! |

Possibly, but nothing you said would make me say yes it is a definitely a ghost, as most of that could be explained rationally. Is there ever any cold spots, or like changes of atmosphere in the room etc..? |

Hi Wicked, welcome to the forum
Could this be a ghost?
It could be a number of independently occurring phenomenon that have perfectly rational explanations that you may be lumping together under the misperception that it's a 'ghost'.

You can try some experiments on your own Wicked.
Set up a video recorder and/or a voice recorder.
Leave out pencil and paper and ask 'them' a question and
tell them to write out the answer.
Not saying you will get anything but what the heck.

Haha true - I could just be mental! :)
It's an old house, could just be creaking in temperature changes and things!
You never know I guess! :) |

wicked, well since you said you could be mental that rules that out, as crazy people never think they're crazy
Like bitter said you should definitely set up a camera in the kitchen or stairs and who knows what may appear. |

Silly really!
Thanks for all your responses everyone, it's really nice to hear other people's opinions :) |

Well I really do believe ghosts exist. If it does turn out to be a spirit it probably doesn't mean you any harm and there is no reason to be afraid. |

To me that's easier said than done.
I realize they may mean no harm.....but still.

Talking to my family, found that my kid brother claims to have seen a man in the house a few times - once in his bedroom and once in the kitchen
Although whether this is a lie/imagined/a dream we haven't worked out! |

The only thing we need fear is fear itself.
