Right I have seen loads of orbs and felt many strange things but I have never seen a full blown ghost (if you want to call it that). What would your description be or how would you describe one. :confused:

Twice now at work I have seen what I can only describe as a black movement, and always in a reflection.

I work alone in my department and no one can pass by my office without me hearing them come in.

But I have seen this 'figure' move down the corridor past the office door. There is no other accessible exit from this corridor.

Other odd things happen too & my collegue had a similar experience recently.

Two or three Chritmases ago ( and this is the absolute truth , not one of my wind-ups), I thought I kept seeing something out of the corner of my eye in the kitchen when I was on the computer late at night.

All I can describe it was a sort of black dog or cat (only small) that would scurry across at lightning speed and then disappear into the wall.

Putting this down to the copious quantities of previously consumed christmas cheer, I thought no more.

Then, somewhere betwen Xmas and the New Year, I just dropped it out to my wife and son, expecting to get laughed at.

They had both experienced the same thing but didn't want to say anything for the same reason.

It has never appeared since.

Odd or what.

speaking of black shadows from the corner of the eyeand being around you a lot is usually suspected as psychic attack in some pagan beliefs
aunty witch xx

Tell me more :o

There was a time when I lived at Mum n Dad's when I really felt that I should have seen something and didn't, but I honestly felt like something was there. That could have just been my child-like imagination at the time cos I'd been reading alot of horror stories.

One time though my little niece who was about 3 at the time was being read to by her gran (my mum) in my old room and she looked up towards the door and said 'Who's that?". Mum looked and saw nobody. Niece then proceeded to follow this 'presence' with her eyes along the wall for a few seconds and then she said "ok" and then carried on reading.

Very strange, but I've never seen anything in our old house. I've referred to my only other strange experience in this thread (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7478&highlight=ghost+lampshade) already. :)

I will give £1000 to India and other countries if SPI or any other paranormal groups video a ghost within this year not orbs which are dust or insects or water droplets..and mist in a grave yards dont count...so stop breathing out when ya take pictures.....a door closing by itself dont count a full on ghost and i will pay out :P

Why would a ghost look like anything else but a person. I don't believe in ghosts, although i did see a person that i couldn't explain once, it was either a ghost or someone who has spent too much time around radioactive material.

What I don't get is why people are scared of ghost... how many people have ever heard of someone being killed by a ghost? Are there any recorded cases of this ever?

'Ahhh, i've just seen a ghost! I need a fag'... yeah, it's the GHOST that's gonna kill you.

This is another thing... why aren't people afraid of ghosts in the day... or even in the light. Are ghost photophobic or something, or have insomnia?

I read about this quite a while ago. It's interesting that no one has come forward with any proof of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event. I suppose that all those mediums and psychics would not sink to using their powers for winning a million, eh? They just stick to taking money from vulnerable punters.

And what does that tell you? When black shadows are dramatically converted into psychic attacks because it enlivens a dull existence, it speaks volumes of the mindset of these people. They want the world to be different, strange and mysterious, and they want to be seen as different, strange and mysterious themselves. Why do pagans say "blessed be" to one another? Why not "bless you" or even "alright, mate?" It's like they're trying to belong to another mysterious, back-slapping world, that only they (wink-wink-nudge-nudge-only-we-know-the-true-nature-of-the-universe-be-one-of-us) are enilightened enough to be aware of. All this "love and light" crap just makes me want to slap them very hard across both cheeks with a firm wet haddock.

You say you've seen orbs though Mick (back on topic now, finally). With the naked eye? Photographic orbs are a natural phenomenon caused by dust particles and water vapour. Both orbs and "ghostly mist" photographs are easily reproduced if you'd like me to show you how - you wouldn't be able to tell them from the photos shown on most paranormal websites, there's no mystery to them whatsoever.

For the most part, I'm with Snook. Mediums, spiritualists, tarot card readers etc. should put up or shut up. If I were a plumber, I'd be changing a washer quicker than I could mutter "blessed be" if by demonstrating that I was capable of doing so would earn me a million dollars.

As for ghosts, it's hard for me to dismiss after witnessing a couple of truly alarming incidents when I was younger, the only way I could explain what happened would have to consist of an explanation that involved some sort of hallucination on my part, which makes me more than a little uncomfortable.

The fact that so many ghost (and ufo) sightings occur adjacent to low frequency electromagnetic field sources (the Stocksbridge bypass case occured almost directly underneath an electricity pylon, and 200 yards from a substation) may go a long way to explaining the phenomena, given that the brain is so sensitive to low frequency waves. The cases that intrigue me however are ones, such as Stocksbridge bypass, where the incidents are witnessed by multiple observers, reporting the same or very similar accounts. It becomes much harder in these cases to find a natural explanation. Harder, not necessarily impossible.

I do not believe in ghosts but I have seem two things that I have been unable to explain.

The first was when I was at college 9 years ago. I went back to a mates house as I was driving I had not drunk but everyone else was worse for wear. I was sat watching the video: repeat of corrie street, with a mate sat on the couch, everyone else was in the kitchen sorting drinks out.

I glanced over to the side and saw 2 girls, one was couching and they were having a conversation, there was no noise. I nudged my mate who said he could see nothing when I stood up to go towards them, they had gone, It did'nt bother me but my mate was quite upset. They looked pretty solid but a bit drab, in grey/ brown colours, they did not appear to see me.

The second time I saw something I was in bed in broad daylight with my now boyf. There was a man with a tach stood at the other side of the room by the door he was looking directly at us but not moving, again not believing what I was seeing I asked my boyf to look he could not see anything but the man stood there for a good 15+ seconds, then he just kinda faded.

I don't believe in ghosts/ after life/ god/ healing or that type of rubbish, basically most things that do not have scientific proof. I think it was just my mind playing tricks, otherwise the people I was with would see them. I think it proves that ghosts are in a person imagination and therefore make believe!

Possibly. But when two or more people observe the same things it's not so easy to dismiss in those terms.

I have never met a group of people personally that had seen something at the same time, though that would dismiss what I said.

I think if people are in groups they might 'think ' they have seen something or if they do see something they might jump to the others conclusion because it is an easier way of explaining what they saw.

When people don't understand or can explain it makes it easier to make things up or follow similar/ prior thinking to explain what they see. Take the many things that can now be explained in science but a few 100 years ago were thought to be 'witch craft' or 'magic'.

Why do pagans say "blessed be" to one another? Why not "bless you" or even "alright, mate?" It's like they're trying to belong to another mysterious, back-slapping world, that only they (wink-wink-nudge-nudge-only-we-know-the-true-nature-of-the-universe-be-one-of-us) are enilightened enough to be aware of.

blessed be is mostly said by wiccans,not all pagan say this...i for one prefer to say 'alright mate'...paganisim is an umberella term for alternative faiths...from druidism to shamanism and whatever people like to label themselves these days,i always tell people they can keep their blessed bees!:D

Describe a ghost.

White sheet with two holes for eyes.

Has tendencies to go wooo and booo in the night.

Are ghosts just unexplained strange occurences?

Would you think that a ghost, spirit, afterlife or whatever would follow or stay with a person rather than being in a house,building or place?

I apparently saw my grandad when I was about 2.
I told my mum there were 2 men in the living room n i wouldnt stop talking about it for ages after n i saw a picture of my dads dad (who had been dead for like 5 years and I had never met him) and I said that it was 'that man in the living room'.
I dont know if i was just trying to freak my mum out though, i was too young to remember!

i don't believe ghosts exist. I think they are just the effects of biological occurences in our eyes or brain for example, or the effects of magnetic fields and stuff like that. Its not unreasonable to think that these forces might occaisionally move something across a room for example.

However, i am open to pursuasion. It would just take a lot.

People who belive that a ghost opens a door make me laugh, "oh, yes, its windy, the door never shuts properly, but nevermind that, it must have been a ghost!"

As a small child in the '70's I was staying at my grandparent's house, but I was ill. A lady came and sat with me and kept me company. I told my dad and my gran about the 'neighbour' in the long dress, and they both looked alarmed.

My father is one of seven children. About half of them have seen 'the grey lady', only ever if they were sick. Seems like I have too.

The house was owned by a schoolteacher who never had children. My grandparents bought the house after she died. The dates would fit in with the victorian style of dress I saw her wearing.

Most ghosts have a reason for being there. They often have an attachment to a place and/or a set of circumstances.

A friend in Peterborough described a 'presence' which followed people up the stairs. The feeling people had was that they were being protected from falling on the steep steps. A child reputedly died from a fall in the house.
