I saw a ghost when I was 5, when I was living in my old house, I dont know if it was real or if I was dreaming it

Awesome story, you should send that in to ghost investigators

I fought a giant lobster throwing cars at it just using my telekinetic powers, I don't know if it was real or i was dreaming it

@lewis
Thats some freaky stuff, I had one of those weird light encounters too, the night of prom we were driving to a friends house and we crossed an old bridge I looked back (I wasn't driving mind you) and there was a orange colored light looking like a flame in the middle of the bridge hanging in the air, nothing around to make a spark, it was kinda crazy.

Also to your Civil War thing about the town being burned its funny my town is historically known for being in the line of Shermans March and being the only town not burned down.

Hey, if anyone thinks their house is haunted or know someone's house is, get a tape recorder and leave it recording for a few hours when you're not at home, or asleep. You set the tape recorder near an area where you think there's an occurence and leave it recording. Sometimes the tape recorder picks up sounds you cannot normally hear with the human ear.

Also, if you use a Ouija board after communicating with a ghost, NEVER burn it. That's the worst thing. It allows any spirit or deceased entity (that includes horrible souls) to come forth and torture your life until an exorcism is done. In rare cases, an exorcism maybe not work at all and you are cursed.

^ Are you joking? Ouija boards are pure BS

My dads deceased uncle visited his grandson in his room supposedly..
it was wierd because the 4 year old came out of his room at 10 PM REAL happy and was like"i just saw papa" and said he was riding around in a razor in his "pajamas"..(mind you my dads uncle was a large man)

anyways

My cuzin put his son to sleep and was thinking nothing of it and he broke down in tears a couple hours later realzing.. in "pajama's" he meant HOSPITAL clothing and he was riding around freely on a scooter..which he wouldnt have done due to him being so big..

hmm... some connection with kids and spirits?

Hey AoA, this is about as big as this thread's going to get. Tell us your ghost story now! I wanna hear it!


unless.....ArtofAngels? Why he died back in 2003. That means....the ArtofAngels we've been interacting with.....is......A GHOST!

Kids do. Why do you think if you look at an infant and they are looking at you, then the child turns its head to the side, sees something and smiles. Children, especially infants, have a better chance of having paranormal activity happening near them in places where 'events' have happened.

I have a picture of my one friend in a Halloween outfit and she's dancing around a sombrero for a photograph from her boyfriend. She lived in an old house at the time, but in the photograph (I can't show it due to personal trust with her) there are orbs all around her.

I'm currently doing a night class at community college, but I will post a thing out of my (yes, I'm not joking) Encyclopedia of Ghosts and Spirits (it's over 600 pages). I'll post on their description of the Ouija board, because I cannot find it on Encarta. And no, there is no information on Wikipedia on Ouija boards. I just checked.

EDIT: Nvm, I found some info:

Criticism of ouija boards

Although ouija boards are viewed by some to be a simple toy, there are people who believe they can be harmful, including Edgar Cayce, who called them "dangerous." Critics warn that "evil demons" pretend to be cooperative ghosts in order to trick players into becoming spiritually possessed.

Some practitioners claim to have had bad experiences related to the use of talking boards by being haunted by "demons," seeing apparitions of spirits, and hearing voices after using them. A few paranormal researchers, such as John Zaffis, claim that the majority of the worst cases of so-called demon harassment and possession are caused by the use of Ouija boards. The American demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, stated that "Ouija boards are just as dangerous as drugs." They further state that "séances and Ouija boards and other occult paraphernalia are dangerous because 'evil spirits' often disguise themselves as your loved ones—and take over your life."

In 1944, occultist Manly P. Hall, the founder of the Philosophical Research Society and an early authority on the occult in the 20th century, stated in Horizon magazine that, "during the last 20-25 years I have had considerable personal experience with persons who have complicated their lives through dabbling with the Ouija board. Out of every hundred such cases, at least 95 are worse off for the experience." He went on to say that, "I know of broken homes, estranged families, and even suicides that can be traced directly to this source."

Many Christians hold the belief that using a Ouija board allows communication with demons, which they say is Biblically forbidden as a form of divination. Some people who claim to have been oppressed by evil spirits after using a board say that they could only get rid of these problems after Christian deliverance. Many Christians believe that no dead person's soul can be summoned, and that the only summoned spirits are demons who are trying to harm humans.

As early as 1924, Harry Houdini wrote that five people from Carrito, California were driven insane by using a board. That same year, Dr. Carl Wickland in his book stated that "the serious problem of alienation and mental derangement attending ignorant psychic experiments was first brought to my attention by cases of several persons whose seemingly harmless experiences with automatic writing and the Ouija board resulted in such wild insanity that commitment to asylums was necessitated."

The former medical director of the State Insane Asylum of New Jersey, Dr. Curry, stated that the Ouija board was a "dangerous factor" in unbalancing the mind and believed that if their popularity persisted insane asylums would be filled with people who used them.

Decades later, in 1965, parapsychologist Martin Ebon in his book Satan Trap: Dangers of the Occult, states that "it all may start harmlessly enough, perhaps with a Ouija board," which will, "bring startling information... establishing credibility or identifying itself as someone who is dead. It is common that people... as having been 'chosen' for a special task." He continues, "Quite often the Ouija turns vulgar, abusive or threatening. It grows demanding and hostile, and sitters may find themselves using the board compulsively, as if 'possessed' by a spirit, or hearing voices that control or command them."

In her 1971 autobiography, the psychic Susy Smith said, "Warn people away from Ouija and automatic writing. I experienced many of the worst problems of such involvement. Had I been forewarned by reading that such efforts might cause one to run the risk of being mentally disturbed, I might have been more wary."

Additionally, the late Roman Catholic priest Malachi Martin believed talking boards are dangerous and claimed that by using these devices a person opens themselves to demonic oppression or possession, topics upon which Martin spoke and wrote extensively for many years.
