None of us are frightened by it at all though,and we love our home very much. Our home is full of love and joy and Everyone that comes to our home likes bieng there. But things happen around here quite a bit that none of us can explain. I do feel that whatever/whomever it is ,is now a part of our family and has always looked out for us somehow. As creepy as that is. So, I was wondering if anyone else has had any experiences with the unknown or knows someone who has. I love a good ghost story .... ( yes I'm serious about our house too)

Originally Posted By JazzCat I am incredibly fascinated with ghosts, haunted houses, etc..! I think our house was haunted at one time by an elderly woman, but I don't feel her presence anymore. There have been other wierd things about our house too. There have been times that I could swear our back door has opened and closed (it's an old house so there are very distinctive sounds). I thought my husband had walked in the back door but he was still at work and the door was still locked. I have seen a cat out of the corner of my eye when all of our cats have been outside. Most recently (about four months ago) when I worked at my old job, I knew there was a customer in my department as I had already acknowledged her. There was only one way in and out of my department. My eyes were looking down at a fixture and I distinctly saw another woman out of the corner of my eye. She was closer to me with dark hair pulled into a ponytail and was thin. I looked up and the only other person in my department was the customer I had already acknowledged. Rumor has it the current Petco store I'm employed at is haunted, but the store will be moving in 10 days.

The next day when we drove by, I couldn't find it at all, so that kind of creeped me out, but I think it was just my mind playing tricks on me.

Both my DH and myself at sepereate times have seen something go down our hallway only to end up vanishing. The kitchen seems to be the "active" room right now and all of us have heard movement in there when we have been altogether in the livingroom. It's kind of creepy, but none of us seem to feel frightend. In fact we get up and goin there and see whats been going on, only to find nothing out of place or moved. I'd love to take a REAL Haunted tour someplace like Maine or New Orleans, I think that would be so much fun. My DH and DD wants to take the Haunted Queen Mary tour but have yet to do so. I'm too chicken! BOK BOK! I love watching TAPS and Ghost Hunters on tv, those kind of shows are so much fun to watch.

I was scared and watched it for about 5 minutes. I didn't dare get up or move or turn on the lights or anything. I was totally awake and didn't know what to do. It finally just disappeard. I talked to my grandmother about it and she told me that there have been lots of sightings of relatives seen in the house after they have died. I still was scared, but she thinks it was my grandfather watching over me.

The ghost also liked to knock on file cabinets. It got to be pretty regular. Someone would just comment, "Oh, the ghost is working tonight." Kind of figured that person did something REALLY bad to be stuck haunting an insurance office.

I haven't been on any official ghost tours in New Orleans, but we (my DH and I) have gone by ourselves to various places that have been reported to be haunted. We've not seen any activity in those places. TDG has been on a couple of ghost tours in his neck of the woods (Kentucky). In case he doesn't see your question, he's not a ghost hunter for a living but has a fascination with it like you and I. (He and I had a great time on the Haunted Mansion attraction at DLR!) I also know that Labuda has seen her father's ghost. (We've had a similar topic previously!)
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight thanks JazzCat, Im so glad to know I"m not alone in this.. I know my whole household has wittnessed activity at least so I know I'm not crazy LOL. Id love to take any kind of REAL haunted tour or check out supposedly REAL haunted places as well.I think it would be interesting to see what one finds. I bet you had fun with your DH doing that. Thanks for the insight on the Haunted Queen Mary tour too. Taps( on tv) debunked the whole is the Queen Mary really haunted quesiton.

Originally Posted By sherrytodd <<Taps( on tv) debunked the whole is the Queen Mary really haunted quesiton.>> Not so certain of that. They just may not have wanted to play that night. When my son was four years old. He became terrified in a hallway of the Queen Mary. He told us that he didn't like the lady in white pushing the cart. Of course we did not see anyone. To this day (he's now eight) he can describe exactly what he saw and he refuses to go back to the Queen Mary. He called her the white lady. It was years later that we heard about the white lady on the Queen Mary that is seen by children.
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I belive it Shrrytodd,let me go back over that debunk Queen Mary thing.. they debunked the room where where supposedly the bed keeps getting unmade after someone makes it... I do belive however personally that the Queen Maryis indeed hanuted due to the pool. They did show there was acitvity they could not explain.I love stuff like this.
Originally Posted By MomofPrincess I have had experiences with relatives after they died. Experiences that made me go from a complete skeptic to a true believer.

I get it! You're here! And you're freaking me out! I love you but you can leave now!" -- and that was the end of THAT.

They're pretty sure its a woman because when they had there first baby, they think this entity would check up on the baby. For instance, covering her up with her blanket in the middle of the night, turining on the mobile, really soft humming (like someone humming a tune), that sort of thing. They also have a rocking chair in their living room that will rock by itself.
