I lived in a old victorian house when I was younger that had some unexplained occurances in it, not saying it was a ghost for sure, but it made me belive in them.

LOL. Seriously? More details please!

my whole family saw crap in that house...

 

every night when I would sleep upstairs there would be footsteps up and down the main hallway.  They would get louder and closer, then further away and so on.  I have no clue what would have made the noise other than someone walking around as it wasn't anything that could be mistaken for an air vent (there wasn't one) or wind etc.  I eventually had to start sleeping downstairs because it creeped me out so much.  My Mom had become used to it, but I never could. 

 

There was a room that we stored stuff in that gave anyone that walked in a sense of dread and that they were being watched at all times.  This could have been electromagnetic fields, but one never knows. 

 

My grandmother swore that she followed an "intruder" up the stairs once only to find that nobody was there.

 

I'm also pretty sure I saw someone standing in the window once, although the mind does play tricks on someone when they see random shapes.

 

so yeah, some could be explained away with science if an investigation was done, but it was enough to make me thankful when we moved after my grandfather died. 

The first sentence of this post, taken out of context, would make people think you guys need to clean the house more often.

And yeah, most of them can be explained away, but if you didn't feel comfortable in the house it's a good thing you guys moved out.

BTW, do you think your grandfather is a haunting the house now?

Nah I actually don't think that ghosts are dead people "haunting" things, my belief is that we are seeing echoes of the past somehow.  This is mainly due to the way most describe ghosts is that they do their business and don't take notice to us walking around.  not sure why this only happens in certain places, but yeah :P

Hmm, interesting yet confusing view.

another theory I like is that many think that electromagnetic fields can make some hallucinate into seeing things.  Some people are more open to this, and as such see ghosts more often than others.

That's fascinating and believable.
