Have you ever seen a ghost?

Mockers unnecessary, we already know what you guys think.

Possibly. I've had encounters that could've been ghosts, could've been me wigging myself out/overthinking things.

I will say that I've felt really strange connections to places and things before. One time I walked into a chapel, and after a minute, just started crying. I'm convinced something happened in that chapel, but I have no idea why that is.

Would it be mocking to reply no? I haven't.

NAYRT - It's not mocking, but it's a bit counterproductve, isn't it?

If anon only wanted positive responses, it was counterproductive of them to ask a question that invites yes/no answers equally in the first place, tbf. Like asking "Religion stories. Are you religious?" then expecting nobody to reply with "no"

No, I don't think that's mocking. It's the "ha ha all you people are mad and/or stupid" shit I can do without.

ayrt

Nah, I don't think people are mad or stupid for believing in ghosts. I mostly replied because I wasn't sure whether you were looking to compare numbers between people who had or hadn't or something like that.

I'm just curious how many people reply, especially as it seems to be something people don't want to "admit" to nowadays, or at least not in a lot of circles.

(I've never seen anything, but I've felt "ghostly" things that I have no rational explanation for.)

Huh, really? Most of the people I know believe in ghosts or that ghosts might exist, even if they never have seen one themselves. I figured a whole lot of people did.

nayrt

Really? I don't know many people who genuinely believe in the supernatural outside of a religious context. At least not in my demographic, I guess.

ayrt

Most of the people I know are religious, so... that might have something to do with that.

da

"I'm just curious how many people reply, especially as it seems to be something people don't want to "admit" to nowadays, or at least not in a lot of circles."

Don't you reckon that might be just because people are less superstitious than they used to be? I mean, I'd suggest that these days people are less likely to immediately jump to supernatural conclusions and more likely to think there's an explanation, but they just don't know it, as opposed to fifty years ago or something.

Well, that entirely depends on whether I'd choose to interpret it as a ghost or a hallucination. I generally choose to interpret it as the latter, given my mental state back then combined with sleep deprivation.

Never actually seen a ghost, but have some experiences that I can't really explain.

Seen a few things I couldn't rationally explain. Things moving by themselves, 'shadow people' etc.

Seen? No...not really. Saw a red light floating in front of my parents' bedroom mirror but it didn't have a reflection. I have no idea what it was though... But that particular house was haunted. So, maybe it was ghost? I didn't stick around to see what happened. I was just walking down the hallway, noticed the light in my parents' room, brain went, "Yeah, that is too freaky for me to comprehend. Let's just go." and I moved onto the bathroom. When I came out the light was gone. Never saw it again.

No ghosts, nope. I used to think I saw something supernatural and unexplainable, but then later, it was totally explainable. C'est la vie.

I might've heard one call my name? I'm not sure. My parents owned a convenience store, which had been there for 200+ years and we lived in an apartment above it (which was only about 100 or so years old). Now, we had pager system for the women in the store to call upstairs...but we only ever had female employees. One afternoon, I was home alone, though the store was open and there was an employee working. I heard a man say my name very clearly. It was normal conversational tone, not someone yelling from in the store. I got up and went downstairs to hang out in the store, I was kinda freaked out; I was probably 15 or so at the time.

My mother often heard footsteps crossing the floor upstairs when she was working in the store during the day--and none of us kids were home, my dad wasn't up there and neither were the pets. And no, nobody had slipped by her and run upstairs--that might happen once, but not repeatedly.

Probably the weirdest thing that happened had to do with the street level door to our apartment; it was on the front of the building and opened into a small foyer/receiving area--there were coat hooks around the wall and stairs leading up to the apartment. We almost never used this entrance--we used the one around the back because that's where we parked and it was more convenient.

Anyhow, when we moved in, the wooden door (probably original to the apartment), would not stay shut, even if it was locked--it locked on the handle with a skeleton key. So, dad put a sliding bolt lock near the top of the door. It would still open on it's own. He put in a new metal door with a sliding bolt lock. Yep, fucker still opened. We'd be sitting, usually in the living room and realise the traffic sounded too loud (the buidling was about 6-8 feet from the road; the road used to be narrower and further away). Now, after dad put another sliding bolt lock near the bottom of the door...it stopped opening by itself. I always joked that ghost couldn't bend over....

I've oftened wondered if it was the traffic vibration--which would make sense with the initial door; a handle type lock could be jarred loose. But even with a sliding bolt? It would've had to slide up and to the side, which seems to be pushing it. Though I honestly don't know why putting the bottom lock stopped it.

Not me but my mom lived in a haunted house for a while, when she was young (so before I was born). It had been the elderly man who lived there before her, according to the person they rented it from.

From what I have gathered from her stories he wasn't visible, but sometimes you could feel him, and he threw things at her housemate sometimes. (But they left things out for him and that calmed him down.)

We get headspace ghosts with sad regularity. Actual proper ghosts and shit though, nah.
