Do you believe in ghosts?

BabyCarryingVessel · December 2013

So, I was extremely creeped out last night after I skimmed through some of the stories on this... https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1sesd6/what_is_the_most_disturbing_thing_your_kid_has/

Has anything strange ever happened to you? I believe in angels and loved ones communicating with us in dreams, etc., but not sure about ghosts. If nothing else, you should read the Colorado River story, I think it's almost halfway down. Spooky!

My cousin used to talk to the "other family" that lived in my aunt's house.

As far as personal experience, I don't have any. I'm not sure how I feel about ghosts. I most certainly believe in angels. And demons, for that matter. But I just don't know about ghosts.

I do believe in ghosts, but I also think a lot of things people think are paranormal can be explained by other things. That said, I'm pretty sure our house was haunted when we moved in, but I think he's gone now. We call him Earl. Creepiest instance- for a few weeks I would think I heard music at night, but couldn't place where it was. And I'd look all over. One morning I went to do some laundry in the basement, and a radio was plugged in by the washer , playing country music. We had not been in the basement in days. We had that radio packed in a box from the move, still. We do not listen to country. Ever. But according to the neighbors, Earl did. And his workshop was set up by where my laundry room is now.

One of the houses I grew up in was haunted. The day we moved in I was unpacking and this little robe robot toy that I had lost the remote to year before turned on and started coming toward me. I went to turn it off and saw that it had no batteries in it. Then on my birthday some friends and I were playing quigi board and the radio in my room suddenly turned on with the ghost busters theme. My bday is in dec. Another time in High school after watching the movie Ghost at a slumber party we awoke the next morning with all the glass shattered in the room adjacent to where we were sleeping. This was a glass sunroom and kitchen windows. We never heard a thing. My little brother often saw 3 dogs with red eyes in his room. We later learned, years after my parents divorced and sold the home, that 3 dogs we buried in the back yard. That is all I can think of now. It has been so long but strange things happened all the time
Sorry for the wall of words typing fast so I can help dd with her homework.

Speaking of freaky things kids say. dd and I were driving past a cemetery this summer she asked why daddy will die in a fire. Freaked me the eff out. Still does. I told him to be careful around matches. We bought a fire extinguisher too.

Yes more spirits then ghosts. I feel like I have a mild physic connection. Hard to explain.

Yes, no matter what @LauraT25 and @LuckyDad say!!!

I'm fine with the idea of benevolent ghosts who don't physically move things or make noise and you just feel or sense. Anything that is beyond the scope of measuring is plausible.

Um, what?? That IS freaky!!

But, yes, I totally believe in ghosts. To this day, I am more fearful of a ghost than someone breaking in - totally irrational!!
