Any ghost hunters around?

The "ghost" I have in my new house is a cool one, nothing creepy but the first day when my father and I slept there, someone got a bowl of cereal and brought it into my room, (according to my dad he heard someone get a bowl and walk into my room thinking it was me so he didn't pay much attention to it) a day or two later I heard someone set a glass down on the counter top in the kitchen, again this time I assumed it was my dad. Now for the weird part, my dad was in the living room and was watching T.V. keep in mind the ceiling fan/light has 4 settings, on, brighter, brightest, and off. So anyways, he had it on the lowest setting, went to get a bottle of watter, came back and the light was off. Lol, our "ghost" we have isn't such a scary one, just a hungry, thirsty, prankster I guess. As long as it stays that way : P
 
This is a cool thread coz I can relate to a lot of you who posted here. I've had experiences since I was a kid of 9 or 10 yrs. It was the time when my God mother (my mom's sister) passed away of cancer. She was like a second mother to me as she took care of me since I was a baby. Anyway, after she passed away, we had the wake at our house in the living room (just like the olden days). I think her body was there for about a week before the day of the funeral. So, the day after she passed, it was late already and the visitors left and I was in bed getting really sleepy. I nodded off for a minute and then shook it off and wanted to stay awake coz I was scared due to the fact that her body is still downstairs. But I nodded of again but this time I was awakened by my God mother's voice gently saying for me to wake up. So being half asleep, I sat up and saw that she was standing at the foot of my bed in her funeral clothes with a gentle smile on her face. I was so groggy that I didn't even think nothing of it coz I was so used to seeing her. It didn't faze me until the next day at breakfast, I told everyone what I experienced and they were all at awe. But that's not all! The next night, after experiencing the first visit from my God mother, I got really scared and I hid under my covers. But after a while, I needed to get some fresh air so I stuck my nose out to take a few breathes of fresh air when I smelled flowers as if they were right in front of my nose! This scared me even more coz I know it's my God mother and she used to sleep in the same bed with me when I was younger. So, the next day at breakfast I told everyone what happened the night before and my sister who sleeps in another bed on the other side of our room said that she woke up that night and saw my God mother lying next to me! So, this really scared me but only to a point and my mom explained to me that she is probably just saying her goodbyes coz I wasn't there when she passed. I didn't experience a visit from her after that but I have further paranormal experiences later on in my adult life until now that I can't explain. But I won't disclose that for now. Ever since then, I've been looking for answers and explanations to learn more about the paranormal and I found Coast to Coast AM, a non-mainstream talk show with George Noory and Art Bell which is open to paranormal, conspiracy theories, alien abductions and crypto-zoology subject matters. Very interesting stuff when you can't sleep at night.

I know people have those sleep issues where they "wake up", but their body is still in a REM cycle, and they "see" aliens, or ghosts,etc.

That's happened to me. Once I thought I had a big spider* on me, and it crawled on my face and I could feel it biting me. I kept trying to move and all I could do was watch it. And then I was sitting up in bed slapping at myself and totally freaking out. But I couldn't find the spider or any bites on my face. It was really weird.

*I am absolutly terrified of spiders :cry
 
Hey I am so glad I found this thread....I love this stuff.
Well, I have always wanted to do the ghost hunting stuff and would jump at a chance,physically, to do it. They do scare me, but it is more of the just appearing unspecting type of scare. But I have apparently been around weird disturbance since I was born. My mom said her grandmother told her that one day she would see my mom's son and her great-grand-son. Well when I saw the picture of of my great-grand-mother she looked very familiar. Which freaked my parents out becasue they thought they saw here but were dreaming and never talked about it. I would have only been a few months old at that time. So there you go. There are other stories that I might post later. Speaking of ghost hunters...there is this really old beautiful cemetary in tallahassee FL that was built when there was still the slaves and hangings were common. It's creepy to think of all the souls that were wrongly hung and burried there but it is still, oddly enough, a sort of calming place...at least in the day time.
 
I don't take drugs or under any medications of some sort for that matter. I also don't drink but I've had a few "sleep terrors" episodes before, and a couple of them were pretty intense! One of them was about someone or something choking me with both hands and it felt like it was sitting on my chest. I was fighting it with all my might and I could even hear myself grunting to muster up all my strength to fight it but to no avail. Then, I prayed fervently and that's when it let go of me and then I heard a loud thump on my rooftop. This happened around 2 AM. Another "sleep terror" incident I had was about an old hag clutching my left shoulder with her bony claw like hand and I can feel it's face and it's breath right against my left cheek. I remember not being able to move or yell for help. It was a scary feeling of helplessness. It was so intense that even after I woke up the next day, there was a residual sensation of it's hand on my left shoulder. I've done some research on this and the scientific explanation for it is sleep paralysis where your brain wakes up before the rest of your body wakes up. But there is always this feeling of an evil presence associated with it. Since then, I am not able to sleep unless I exhaust my self to sleep. I normally sleep around two or three in the morning due to these unusual experiences.
 
I've always been interested in the paranormal, everything from ghosts and demonic possession to UFO's and ESP. Then I found a college that offers paranormal courses and was certified through them and have done a few "investigations" here in Hawaii. There are a lot of ghost tours and just plain weird stuff here... it's great, especially with all the local legends and superstitions. If you're ever in Hawaii forget the beach go to Morgan's Corner, the Pali Look Out or Manoa Valley.

When the ship I was stationed on pulled into Hawaii, I was out in town in Waikiki I think... and I was surprised to see a flyer taped on a store window about a satanic worship ritual happening that weekend. I was amazed at how open this type of practice seems to be over there! Is this common in Hawaii?
 
It's quite a little melting pot that's really open to anything. And all the Asian/Pacific cultures that take root here bring in their customs and legends making it very interesting.
 
Sometimes I see persons in my room. Shadows, and when I start staring at them they fade. 2 years ago I got a new room and they are not here anymore...

You see dead people. ;) :lol:

I've actualy been asked before by people trying to "figure my dreams out" if I was a drug user. :lol: I told them I just make this stuff up to get attention. :lol:

No kidding? I love TAPS! I watch it every chance I get.

Paranormal stuff has always really freaked me out, but regardless I find it very interesting. I'm not really sure if this is classed as paranormal, but here locally, there are a lot of weird stories about "things that go bump in the night". One that really sticks out in my mind is from the mid 1800s of the Santer, a kind of skinny, ape-like creature with a face similar to a bat and had a specific taste for dogs and sometimes children. They said it would roam all across North Carolina, from Cherokee to the Piedmont, and up into Virginia seasonally. Finally, a group of men got a hunting party together and tracked it to Wilkesboro, and supposedly a man from Asheville delivered what they believe to be a killing shot, although the body was never recovered. The weird thing is, I was on the topic of weird happenings with a guy I used to work with and he told me of a time when his Dad had gone deer hunting and made a kill, and when he went to recover the animal, there was something crouched over it that matched the description of the Santer. He raised his gun and shot, trying to scare it off and it raised up, looked at him, then bounded off into the woods. My friend's Dad left the deer there, stunned, and ran out of the woods.

I actually live in Wilkesboro (and was born in Asheville, lol), and though I can't clarify any truth in this, according to the Weird U.S. guys from the History Channel, you can read sighting reports in the local newspaper archives. Weird stuff!
 
Murphoid- that sounds a lot like a chupacabra. I found this originally under the title of chupacabra on YouTube but it's subtitles contained profanity but I found it under a different title with no subtitles. To this day no matter how often I watch it I still get chicken-skin... enjoy.

Im a huge Ghost Hunters fan. They are one of my friends on myspace, so I get continous updates. Very Cool I must say. I also have gotten my husband, my dad and mom addicted as well. I moved to Idaho on the edge of WA border and Im looking for ghost hunters as well. I have had my share of expericences also. When I lived in Iowa I was alone in the house and I had this distinct aroma of my grandfathers cologne that was very pronounced. I had no doubt that it was his cologne. The whole thing is that my grandfather had passed away about 5 yrs before, he had never been to this house. Very creepy,but felt like he was there for me. I have had other strange things happen since then but those are usually at night kinda like dreams but very real. This instance with my grandfather was in the daytime while I was watching TV and laying on the couch. If there is anyone near Spokane, WA or closer to Idaho let me know. I am a little scared of the dark, but my curosity to the paranormal might out way that.
 
My wife and I have at more that one experience with spirits. Most of them good(only 2 really nasty ones that she had to deal with) The latest events happed about a week ago ( just a few days after my Mother-in-law, Linda, passed away) .. we kept finding what looked like peanut shells around the house and these also showed up at her other 3 daughters houses. The thing is Linda loved to eat peanuts and had a habit of dropping some of the shells every time.
 
I used to go ghost hunting all the time with friends in Waupun and Fond Du Lac

There used to be a cemetery out on the highway with a monument of a lady whose legs were sometimes crossed and uncrossed. I remember we were all afraid to be alone in the dark in the cemetery after all the stories. We went online and looked up haunted places in the area and found tons.


Also have a thing for ouiji boards, especially haunted ones

I'll post more when I have time
 
This happened several years ago at an old farm house in Fond Du Lac county.

Our friend had just moved and we were all staying at her house the week her family moved in. It was me, her, and i think 3 or 4 other friends. Well anyways, we were all outside the first day relaxing after taking everything off the U-Haul and this pickup truck shows up.

It's the neighbor guy (who still lives 1 or 2 miles down the street) and he starts talking to her dad, and this goes on for a couple minutes before her dad bursts out laughing and just walks away.

Then he comes over to us with a real serious face and says to all of us, "things happen in this house". and just walks off.

And we're all thinking he was drunk, high, or whatever because he just sounded crazy when he said it.

I mean I believe in the stuff, but I just expected him to come over and you know, introduce himself, and say something more like "This house has a history and some people think it's haunted. People have seen and heard some strange things. Just thought you'd like to know"

So we laughed about it for a little while and then her dad came out and gave us money to all go out to dinner, for helping them move in.

We grabbed a movie on the way back from dinner and almost hit a deer on the way back, which shook up the girls we were with.

This is when the weird stuff started happening.....

When we parked my friend Julie forgot her purse in the car, and went back to get it (and we were all just several yards away.
The door was unlocked and the moment she reached to open the handle the doors locked, she though it was our friend Jamie just being a jerk, but Jamie denied doing anything. Then he unlocked it himself and Julie tried again and it locked right away! This continued for a few more times before Julie was like "stop it!" and ran and grabbed Jamie's keys from him.
THIS is really weird. She puts the key in the passenger side door hole to unlock it and the moment she does the key spits out and the door just unlatches itself and opens.... she described it as "felt like someone pulled my hand out with the key in it"

She grabbed her purse and we all went in sort of spooked. She said she didn't think it was Jamie after that.
It didn't help that the movie we rented was the Ninth Gate, which is a creepy movie in itself.

Well we watched it trouble free for most of the movie before we had trouble with the TV.
It kept switching to the History channel....yes, the history channel which at the time had a documentary paranormal stuff.....which freaked us out. We looked to see if anyone was sitting on the remote forcing it to stay on the channel but we found all 3 remotes and nothing was doign anything. After a little bit we were able to stay on the channel where we could watch the DVD.

Nothing happened until later in the night after this.

I had a really weird dream of clocks and running through sand hour glasses... and eventually I ran into a room that was the room I was sleeping in and the door was closed after I ran in. I turned around and waited for something, then it opened and there was a girl with the head of bird.... that motioned me for her to follow, i did and she opened doors leading to the kitchen....then she starts going through the fridge and was making me a sandwich....i didn't eat it and then she grabbed my arm and i woke up.

I was freezing when i woke up, even though i had sweats and a sweatshirt on. I turned on the light and my door was open.
For some reason i felt the need to check the doors to the kitchen. Everything was open, including the fridge....and there was a sandwich sitting on the counter.....

It freaked me out so much.

I guess some of my friends had similar dreams, but I dont remember them in detail.

One was about a tractor in the field of the house, one was about hearing a girl singing after waking up from a dream with a little girl, another was about being led to a well outside by a man with no face and almost falling in the well, although the no faced man held on to my friend so they wouldn't fall.

It was freaky, I only stayed one more night, and nothing really happened. A few of us just stayed at another house for the week, we were all freaked.

Apparently my friend still has stories about the house here and there but she's in school and isn't always there...
