I am generally a skeptic but two stories l have been told in my life I have genuinely believed because I know my friends and they weren’t lying
The first was told by my friend Sue, from Uni
During her first year she shared a flat in a Halls of Residence with 3 other girls. One, Michelle, shared a bedroom. After a night on the tiles Sue returned late to the flat so she crept in to bed in the dark. She says she heard Michelle crying all night but when she woke in the morning the bed hadn’t been slept in…
When she saw her other two flatmates they got chatting, and they told Sue that the Warden had called everyone to a meeting the previous evening. They went on to explain that the Warden had urged them to seek help if they felt upset or down as exactly a year ago to the day a girl had committed suicide by jumping from the fourth floor of the building. He was of course eager to prevent such a terrible thing from happening again.
Although they never knew which flat the girl had lived in, Sue’s flat was on the fourth floor.
She also said that she would often see a figure of a girl pass in the corridor behind her, in the bathroom mirror but when she investigated …she often found she was alone in the flat.
Writing this story on here has just given me the goosebumps coldness I felt when I first heard my friend tell it
Rhian - its very likely
When a tragedy occurs, the ‘imprint’ of it is left behind, its like a video recording being played over again and again
Her presence is likely to be felt - its a belief shared by many worldwide
Great experience Rhian …thanks for sharing it here with us:)
Aysa’s right, that was a bad idea, Yani.
For a start, what would you have done if you had ‘summoned up’ something you couldn’t get rid of again?
Something that attached itself to you and stayed with you?
Those Ouija boards are not for playing games with.
I saw my father a couple of times after his death, people laughed when I told them, which is a natural reaction to something that can’t be rationally explained. I was told they were hallucinations brought about by grief, they were very real to me is all that I can say.
I saw a ghost towards the end of June 1967. Nothing scary. I woke to find an elderly man standing at the threshold of my bedroom (my first night in that house) and suddenly it appeared standing at the side of my bed, peering down into my face. Then it was gone. I thought it was a dream and went back to sleep. Days later I recalled the dream and started to tell my father about it. But I only got out a few words and he interrupted me to tell that he had seen it too, and went on to describe it - without any coaxing from me. It was the same man I’d see and 4 or 5 others had also seen him.
Cinderella and AO thanks for sharing your experiences here theyre very interesting 
Cinders, I believe you, because I saw my Dad, too, and also a much loved dog I had lost.
Hey I have been a believer since I was a child ,we lived in Bedford, England.A one rainy day I was upstairs in my bed just watching it rain and this overwhelming presence came, I could feel something behind me,but I was so scared to look,I was so scared I was frozen,I couldn’t,speak,I mean I was Frozen,it was so close to my neck,it wasn’t touching me,then it just started saying my name very very fast in my ear,over and over and over,finally I jumped off the bed and ran down stair’s,I didn’t even look in that direction,I JUST RAN,I went down stair’s and was bawling my eye’s out and started going toward’s my older brother,yelling at him,he was at the dining table building a model I just dove on him taking him and the chair over on its side and just started raining punches on him,Dad was reading the paper jumped up and pulled us apart and started yelling at me ," what the hell is wrong with you"That is when I between sniffle’s told him that my brother was just upstairs messing with me,my Dad said it wasn’t him he was downstairs and that I was the only one upstairs,I was told to go sit on the couch,and that is when my sister came out from the kitchen,and said that lady doesn’t want us here.Many years later my sister confided in me she was visited by the lady many times,no visit was ever good.I got chicken skin right now,just remembering it.
I got goosebumps reading your experience Dragon …no wonder you were so frightened it sounds terrifying to me .I wonder who the lady was…someone that maybe died in that house?
I too love hearing of everyones experiences thank you for sharing.
Driving through Norfolk one morning(0400 hrs)my passenger pointed out an orb type object next to us, the size of a beachball it was travelling alongside at approx 60mph, just above car height.
This went on for about 2 or 3 minutes until it shot up into the sky at great speed and disappeared.
I have only just encountered this thread and have religiously ploughed through all forty-odd pages, so please excuse me for quoting some rather old posts!
I am fascinated by reports of supernatural phenomena, and have heard a number of first-hand experiences, including my sister and a (now deceased) close friend.
Unfortunately, as much as I would like to, I have never had the good fortune to experience anything like the many events recounted in this thread, although I live in hope!
I agree with this. I am an atheist and do not believe in either a god or life after death. When you are dead, you are gone for ever.
I do believe, however, that many (if not all) of these supernatural experiences are actually natural events, and that science will eventually disclose explanations. As Mick suggested, how can we possibly claim to understand all aspects of science any more than mediaeval philosophers were able to.
A favourite (though old) sci fi TV series of mine, ‘The Stone Tape’ proposed this very sort of explanation for supernatural sightings: the possibility that past events which caused severe mental anguish could result in some sort of mental transference of what the brain experienced at the time to be recorded (just like a tape recording) on certain substances, in this case minerals. Who knows?
Another perfectly logical and believable explanation for many ‘supernatural’ events. I, too, have ‘felt things’ (although never actually seen anything) in a appropriate situations. Just my imagination although, despite that, the hairs on the back of my neck may have stood up!
I’d just like to emphasise that I am fascinated to hear any and all ‘unusual’ experiences of others, if they feel happy to recount them, although I’d always be looking for a scientific or illusionary explanation.
I hope that forum members continue to post on this thread and I shall certainly bookmark it and keep a close eye on it!
A fascinating subject JBR, I have heard many interesting stories from well respected members of my family and within these pages. Almost impossible to prove or disprove without offending the person involved. I also am an atheist and do not believe in life after death and sometimes wish that I could witness something first hand. Obviously something is going on and maybe one day I will find the answer, but perhaps after my passing all will be revealed.
I’ve told my wife (I’m nine years older than her) that when I die, I’ll come back to haunt her.
Would that were true! I can well understand that many people believe in an afterlife or heaven; it makes losing someone close more bearable. For that reason, I’d like there to be an afterlife and that I’d be able to see my wife again after we are both dead, but practical common sense dictates otherwise.
My husband and I made a pact that when one of us died we would come back in any way possible. He has been dead for 32 years and I am still waiting 
If I had not had that experience I would have been sceptical, I honestly believe at times of stress you are more tuned into psychic phenomenon.
Interesting - I find its when I am totally relaxed - which I have not been for many years now, so very rare to have the experience now :-p
Either way, It probably suggests that this kind of ‘Psychic Phenomenon’ comes from within.
Love reading about all of Your experiences which has never happened to Me,though gawd knows I’ve been stressed so many times in My Life but never had any ‘psychic phenomenon’ happen :-(…look forward to reading more…it’s fascinating.
