I see dead people.??..

bug

Have you ever seen what you would identify to be a ghost?
I never believed in anything like that at all until I saw an old man in a green aran cardigan in my sitting room. I told my mother and she said it was the man who lived in the house before us. My house was built in the 20's and there have been one or two strange things sighted.
A friend of mine works in the Powerscourt Towncentre and everyone from the security guard to girls who work in the shop have seen something in there.

Don't mind them bug....I've never seen one, but my sister is a medium who claims to recieve messages all the time.
Theres more to this life thing than we think.........:)

Never seen them but I am sure that the spirits of every living being that has lived are floating around in this world and some may have even escaped the atmosphere. Some may be living inside you and some may be resting on that sandwich that you were thinking about eating earlier on.

Our very physical makeup is a combination of stardust and ex-living beings. We are all ghostly stars.

I have never been privelidged enough but I definately believe.

For those sceptics among us watch "Most haunted Live" on UK Horizons. That'll have you believin in no time.

yeah well IMO it beats what's your favorite..packet of crisps/colour....at least you'll get some good stories.
I heard there is mathematical proof that there more dimensions exist than we perceive so perhaps something exists within those dimensions, it doesn't have to be your stereotypical casper.

i once thought i saw one in my mothers office, turns out it was just the photocopying machine. its now called the phantom coppier

bug

you are all horrible,:p

I was seriously asking if anyone had seen anything or had any good stories.

Victor

I see dead people .. they just don't know it yet ... and Special Branch won't let me near government ministers for soem reason.

sillisome fiend

I believe in them...but only in the last few weeks...I'm convinced the house out the back of mine is haunted.....I'll shut up before i make myself sound anymore stupid

I seen a documentary on the discovery channel a while back. Basically if you stand at a precise point, the earths magnetic field interferes with your brain causing you to see somethng which is not there. Its all to do with physics, kids.


Never seen one but i'm still frightened of the dark, nonetheless, and i sleep with a nightlight even though i'm 59 years of age.

i see living people. ooooohhhhhhhh scary

no seriously, ghosts are out there but i aint moulder or scully so i dont know what to do about them. and my mam does work in a haunted building.

There is believed to have been 11 dimensions at the big bang which folded in on themselves during the huge explosion

Funny the things you learn when your Physics teacher has a doctorate.

P.s thats probably just a theory though.

I know mathematics proves they exsist but when you say folded over on themselves are they inverse of someat? My theory is that what we perceive as "ghosts" could possibly be dimensions conjoining in one point in space at some time or another, and revealing perhaps what entities exist in them, or it could be just be just a figment of the individual's imagination *shrug*

You should movew the chair so that the next time he goes to sit down, he falls on his ass, that would be funny.

I have never seen a ghost. But I think most of it is a play in lighting. I was once driving on a dirt road in the rainy fog. My headlight flew across a puddle and illuminated the fog around it looing just like a scary ghostly figure? I knew what it was but it still scared the hell outta me? I have a tendancy to not believe in anything like that?:rolleyes:

Ive heard lotsa stories about Banshee's.. some are old wives tales, some would send shivers down your spine, but who knows what they are...

My dad grew up in the country side in the midlands and there were all sorts of stories there, one about a guy who was from that area, walking home one day through the fields after work and he found a comb on the ground, a very ornate black comb and he didnt think much but brought it home to show his wife and family...

That night they supposedly heard the wails of a banshee near the house and its kept happening for a few nights... one night the comb was on the window sill and a boney hand apparently came through the window in plain sight of everyone, took the comb and that was the end of the wails...

probably complete crap but, when you were kid listening to stories like that, it frightened the bejesus outta ya..

I went to bed after reading this thread last night.

I fell asleep bout two o' clock and I was having a lovely dream about nekki ladies and I suddenly woke up at about half three. I swore to god that I could plainly see the figure of a man standing at the end of my bed. I turned around to turn on my lamp and it was gone.

That scared the living **** out of me as you can imagine. I actually almost **** the bed. I had to get up and have a look around the house just in case (weird **** does happen round here, more weird people than things) and I didn't get back to sleep for about an hour.

I am convinced the only reason was that i had read this thread and that subconciously I was still thinking about it. I was wide awake when i saw this but it must have been purely psychological because the room was pitch black at the time.

Because the drunks that used to pull these pranks get taxis home and don't waste their time annoying people.

I think people get smart, and they start to not believe in them anymore, and then maybe they fade away, but the older people who think that they should hear something, most likely do.

Sometimes at night I hear something and/or see a shape/outline of something, but it could be something you see from a dream that you brought into reality. This could be the time where you are in a light sleep and easy to awake.


But..

People who see what others see, now I do believe this.

Any1 know about the ghosts at slane.

Theres a white house as ya drive down to slane bridge from the dublin side.
Just at the top of the hill, afore you go down theres a house, thats been empty for years and no one will buy it. You can see shadows and weird stuff movin about. Dad used to go on about it (he passes thru slane alot) then it was on the gerry ryan show.

Yeah, I live down the road from Slane, but Townley Hall House (old estate house sitting in the middle of the woods) that is seriously haunted, I live virtually next door and the tales from people who have spent the night in the house would freak you out, and student from trinity years ago when the house was left to some trust or the other stayed in it one night without ever hearing the stories and refused to every go back.

I haven't seen any dead people but I know a fella who lives a bit down the road, he's a water diviner as well, and he's seen so many things as have any of the people in that family. My dad told me a story once of a "ghost" (actually it was a living man who's house he'd left 10 minutes before) he'd seen when he was young (turns out the guy he thought he saw ... his twin brother had died that night).

As well there's a woman my dad knows and from when she was very little she used to tell her parents of things she'd see in the fire, people etc, and they never believed her until she described a granny she'd never seen or even seen photos of.

Its a freaky world.

Yeah, its an urban myth. I think it one of Francis Ledwidges Nephews lives there or something. Story used to be that every time anyone painted the paint would come off overnight. Its painted now and has been for ages. The reason no one will buy it is cos its not for sale . Only reason it wasn't painted was because the owner was a bit slow to do so.

Don't know where the myth cam e from but it was discussed here before. I'm from near Slane too btw.
