Paranormal Activity?

[Batch]

The odd thing is my house is only 12 years old.

Built on an old Indian burial ground?

Wasn't it Fred?

Think you mean Fred

I once stayed in a village which had a woman that was adamant her rice paddy was haunted. She explained how she would often see an image of a man, apparently inured, walking through the field at night. Some other guy there disagreed with her saying that there was no ghost. He said that if there was a ghost he would have seen it as he often walks through that same field at night on his way back home after a few drinks.

I did try to explain, but failed.

Yes, just found it.

Anyone every tried a ouija board?

The obvious and simple solution is to burn the house to the ground, and buy a Tesco flat-pack home to replace it.

If the fucker still hasn't gone, move to Australia.

Yeah - but couldn't eat a whole one

It was so clear, not the sort of thing where you think "did I just see?".

How long you lived there now.

I posted this a few years ago, when we had a similar post.


In my early 20s I brought a two bedroom, first floor flat in Windsor.
My future wife was cooking in the kitchen (front of flat) when my sister and her husband arrived parking at the rear. When they came up they said they could see my partner waving at them from the lounge window (rear).
I said impossible she hasn't left the kitchen, you must have been looking at the wrong flat.
Weeks later a mate of mine (who did not know my sister, nor had I told anyone about it because I had dismissed it) said the same thing. Lady waving from the lounge window, this time my partner was not in the flat.
Now that's weird, so I investigated.
My flat was built on the ground of the Windsor gallows, the road use to be called 'Hung Womens Lane', name was obviously changed later on not a great selling point.
I sold about three months later, but never experienced any sightings myself.

In 2001, I was doing an insect survey at Durlston in Dorset, down some narrow coastal path well away from civilisation. Around 1am, an old man in a suit walked out of the darkness and started talking to me. He asked what I was doing and mentioned he owned an antique shop in Swanage. He then said goodbye and disappeared into the darkness. I watched him leave and he definitely didn't have a torch, and trust me, you couldn't see a thing with out one.

I just can't get my head around why an old man in a suit, without a touch, would just appear down a rocky path in the middle of the night, a good mile from civilisation. Ghost or superman?

People obviously believe they saw what they saw, i.e. not making it up (well maybe 4D is).

But what gets me is why would a ghost come back and wave out a window, or wobble a door handle. Is there some afterlife rule that says ghosts are only aloud to do lame things that have rational explanations?

Ghosts are photos of the past...caught in a natural way of making a photo.....ghosts are seen doing the things they did in life.....boring mundane things but occasionaly a glimpse of something more sinister.

My view is that if something as dumb as man can invent something so we can keep records of the past(photography) then there is sure as hell a way the natural world can do it.

I believe i have seen two ghosts....one was really clear the other a fleeting moment.

There are a couple of houses about half a mile from Durlston Castle, which can be reached by way of the coastal path, they're by the lighthouse. Maybe he'd had a few pints in Swanage that night.
