    Love this thread. Bought a 2 year old house in 1995 nobody else would touch as was built on the site of a knocked down old house(haunted i was told).
    Was in the house for 5 years before selling up and moving to my own part of the world. In these 5 years in house we would turn telly off with remote at night but about a dozen times in them 5 years, the tv came on in middle of night itself(might be reason for this, i dont know). We still have same tv in our house now of 8 years and has never came on once by itself!!!!
    Same house, inside doors banged twice on the calmest nights you could get, strange..

    It's slightly different but yes often you see them in the dark.

    Effectively you see a silhoutte of a person, black, usually out of the corner of your eye. but not always.

    Unfortunately have not seen them, would love to!

    Usually accompianied by an unshakable feeling of dread, did I mention that?

    They look damn real but I do think its the brain trying to sort out conflicting signals by turning them into something humanoid.

    Ah dread. :-p
    You only live once, gotta see these things. They sounds pretty cool from wiki, sure they scare a lot of people.

    Well you look around and suddenly you see something thats just wrong and out of place and it seems like they are looking at and following you... you eventually get used to them though.

    Loads of things! Little things happen all the time that are a bit creepy or weird. My own fault - sort of a hobby :rolleyes:

    Scariest thing to ever happen to me though was when I was a kid I had a friend over for the night, we were sitting in my room giggling like school girls (coz thats what we were!) when I heard a baby cry. Very distinctive newborn baby, really really loud, just under my bedroom window. I went white, my friend couldn't hear it, so it was not a fox. I was so scared I almost got sick!

    My dad swears that a few months after his uncle died that he woke up one night and there he was sitting at the end of the bed. They had a grand chat, the uncle knew things that had happened since he'd died, advised him to sell a particular greyhound, talked about extended family. After an hour or so the uncle stood up and said 'I'm off now and I won't be back' . He gave dad a religious medal, something he would do when alive. Dad went back to sleep, next morning he woke up and freaked. There was a religious medal on the bedside locker that he swears wasn't there the night before.
    :confused:

    Oh remind me of another thing that happened. A friend of mine died young, we were very close and during one conversation he told me that whoever died first would come back and let the other know they were ok. Seeing as how at the time he said this he was planning his death, he was serious about it.

    2 months after he died I had a dream that we were sitting on a roof top, that there was a party happening in slow motion around us. Sparks were falling out of the sky, like fireworks, or stars. All very surreal.

    We had a conversation, I don't remember what it was about, but I remember it was very difficult. The only thing I do remember was him saying sorry and handing me a rose. I woke up feeling like I had been crying for days.

    At the time I was moving house, everything was in boxes except for my bedclothes as I was being picked up the next morning and was ready to go.

    When I woke up a rose was sitting on the side of my bed. :(

    I think they do come back. I lost my brother a year and a half ago and there have been some things that have happened since that lets me know he's ok. Won't go into it now, still too close to the bone.

    I think I saw a reality TV programme on that place where some local high school girls spent a night there. Scared Sh**less they were. Don't know if its the same place but it looks like it.

    No thread up for it really as its seperate from Boards. We (PIGs) have been invited over by an American group. Gonna take a week and do a few more investigations while we are there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,176 ✭✭✭nyarlothothep


    I had sex with a ghost, it was very messy as there was a lot of ectoplasm left over

    I have proof!

    a fewmore weird things that have happened

    Dad had to collect a dead body from a house years ago and went upstairs no problem came down to get something and met priest both went upstairs together couldnt get further then 2 steps he sais he felt something like heavy pressure on his chest preventing him from getting further and the same with priest. When priest went outside Dad was able to get up the stairs no problem.

    Also when people used to call to his house they used to see a cande coming down the stairs but noone would be in. When he used to stay in the house he would lock all the doors before bed and next morning they would be unlocked but he was only one there

    So THATS what they are called...Shadow People!! never knew this, but yes i have seen them many times alright, but i usually dont pay much attention these days as i somehow do see things that shouldnt be, i've heard stuff associated with spirits and seen lots of orbs around where i live. Have seen spirits when i was younger and caught a glimpse of the local banshee called The Green Lady, located at the 40 steps on the original city walls down where i live.

    This stuff doesnt scare me, but really interests me. Any scared ladies can just hold onto me if they like :p
