Wow, I am the only one with a ghost story. My sisters house is haunted by shadow figures and voices talking to the dog, while he wags his tail at the corner of the room. Seen it my self, also I had a bubble light bubble prior to it being plugged in, freaked me out. My sister lives next to a highway where there has been a lot of fatalities.

Wouldn't like shadow figures, nohow. Voices would freak me out, for sure. We had a few weird experiences in an old house we lived in. Once, we were all sitting talking in the kitchen, and my daughter's speaker (80's - huge speakers,lol) fell off the shelf. No one was near it, and no idea why it suddenly fell. One evening, I was walking through the hall and passed the basement door, which was ajar. I sensed something, and thought I 'saw' a figure of a small boy standing half behind the door, and turned to get a better look. Nothing. I looked through the basement (which had always spooked me, for some reason), and found nothing. I wasn't afraid, but it was strange, because I really felt he had been there; even saw what he was wearing. My cat would sometimes get spooked, and stare into the other room, or stare at the corner....but cats being as they are, who know what that was all about; lol

Back after we first bought this house and moved in, we were working on the kitchen and had the water disconnected from the sick unit. There had been a leak prior to our buying this house and the floor had rotted so lots had to be replaced . any way during that time I had a large water can sitting on the counter top that I used for cooking etc. So one day , I was busy in the kitchen , had couple things cooking and was stirring when from the corner of my eye, I saw Lil joe was standing beside me watching -- dressed in hog washers , no shirt , rolled up pant legs and bare footed, without looking directly at him I asked if he needed a drink of water --give me a minute I would get him some from the fridge, I finished stirring the pot reached for a glass and turned to ask if he wanted ice or not and he was gone . I could hear my kids all out front playing, so I carried the glass of water to the porch looking for Joe, figured he didn't want to bother me and just went back out. Only my 3 were there no Joe, asked the kids where he gone and they told me his Mom had picked him up an hour ago to go to their Grannys house. I didn't mention seeing him, thot perhaps my eyes were playing tricks .
Time passed serveral months . Joe and his older brother and sister were here plus a couple kids from town and more kids visiting --- bout 14 /15 kids -- I had picked green beans and was snapping them while sitting under the tree beside the house listening to and watching the kids play baseball out in the front pasture --- they were all ages from 16 / 17 down to 9/ 10 yr old-- boys and girls -- They had just changed pitchers from Jeff to Angie , when Jeff hollared out Joe what you doing in the house , get out here boy you supposed to be in the outfield. Then all the kids were looking toward the house and hollaring at Joe to come out cuz he was supposed to be playing outfielder and laughing . Joe was sitting in the outfield, he hollared back """ I'm out here sitting down , Gina never hits and I'm tired of standing up ''' Then the kids turned looked at him and then turned back and """ well who is in house. "" They all swore they had seen Joe or somebody looking out the window. ... Nobody else was here and I had been inside just a few minutes before to get a bowl to snap the beans into.
another time I was home alone, kids had all gone to VBS when my brother drove up-- I heard his car and his steps across the porch and yelled come on in I'm in the kitchen canning tomatoes. He came in and into the kitchen sayiing hi etc, then he stepped to the hallway and called for Gary to come help him a minute . I told him Garys not home he had gone to VBS. He said well I just saw him looking out his bedroom window as I drove up and he waved to me, and he walked to Garys room. Then came back in the kitchen looking puzzled and wanting to know what the heck was going on. He was the first person I told about seeing what I thought was Lil Joe --then the ball game -- Gary and Joe were about the same size and age and did have that sandy bleached out almost blonde hair color and same little boy rangy skinny little boy body type . They were the youngest of the group. Different times over a span of about 5 years we would catch a glimspe of him , he never did anything just watched mainly the various kids that were in and out. Never any strange noise or weird creaking or groaning or chains ratttling. I suppose he was a shy spirit.

One very dark rainy stormy night I was driving over to a friends house , was helping her do some sewing for a wedding. I was late cuz hubs had worked a couple hours over , he told me I better take the short cut cuz the creek was flowing over the pavement between us and where the regular road to her hosue joins when he came past . It had been raining all day --water standing every where. The rain had slacked off a little just before he got home so off I went , shortly after I make the turn onto the shortcut road , rain started coming down really bad a regular toad strangler , and wind blowing so hard that the wipers couldn't keep the leaves and pine needles cleared from the wind sheild . This shortcut is lined both sides with very tall old trees -- mixture of oak sweet gum and pines . Its like driving through a green tunnel . Part way through the tunnel is a slight hill and right before you reach the top a sharp right hand curve . Just as I was entering the curve I saw a woman in a long night gown and a black dog walking in the middle of the road so I jerked the sterring wheel sharply left into the bar ditch, to miss her, car stopped - I opened the door and called out hey you ok do you need some help. There were no houses on that road at that time. NO answer no old lady no black dog , so I opened the door and stepped out into the ditch and walked toward the back of the car still calling out to her -- at the back of the car I suddenly realized I was walking in bone dry dirt--- I could kick the dirt up-- bent down and touched the ground and a grasped a hand ful of sand--- on what I knew to be a oil top road. Then realized there was no rain --no wind -- no sound -- not even motor sound of my car, even tho I could feel the exhaust coming from the tail pipe. I looked toward the front of the car and there was a very dim dim glow where my head lights shoud have been . Total blackness almost--- keeping one hand on the side of the car I walked back to the ditch then along the side to the front door, I could hear the dry rustling of leaves where I knew there should be water running down the ditch. Got into the car , could feel vibration of running motot but no sound so I stomped the gas and turned into the road and got the hell outa dodge. Just as I lurched into the middle of the road --the rain and wind and leaves /pine needles all returned , my head lights suddenly were on as bright as should be. And water gushing down that bar ditch. Its the strangest thing I have ever experianced.

I'm glad it's daylight while I read this stuff. ;D That lady in the road is reeeally creepy.....and 'toad strangler' don't think I've heard that one before!! The house we are in now is new; so no one's lived here before, would doubt it's haunted, but twice now I've heard footsteps through the kitchen and down the hall. The first time I was home alone, and heard it, and figured hubby was home. Sounded like he walked down the hall to the bedroom. But when he didn't come out after a few minutes, I went to see what was going on, and he wasn't there. Went and checked the back rooms; then, the garage. No truck there; he hadn't come home yet. Thought maybe the house is settling or something; guess that could be, but I've heard that same thing twice. My granddaughter says maybe we're living on an Indian burial ground. Last summer, at 3: 40 a.m., for three nights in a row, I was certain I heard the doorbell ring. Looked at the time, got up to answer it - no one there. Sure didnt thing I was dreaming; and why three nights in a row, at exactly the same time?? Weird.

The haunted house my sister lives in also had many other strange occurances happen. Kathryn got locked out one night and she was in darkness in the back yarn trying to jimmy the door unlocked, when a little girls voice said, " oh, your locked out"? Kathryn nearly flipped! She lives beside a dangerous highway but doesn't have any close neighbors and couldn't explain the childs voice.

I remember sometime after my brother passed away, I would sometimes take a nap while our grandbaby was taking hers in the afternoon. A couple of times, I awoke from a deep sleep hearing my brother's voice callling my name quite loudly; very well could have been a vivid dream, but still spooked me.

My Mom passed 11 years ago and I swear I felt her spirit for a few weeks after she died. One day I felt her there and I said a loud " It's OK Mom, I can take care of myself". I haven't felt her since, but sometimes in my garden I think my Grandma Lela peeks in on me.

I do have a story which I've hesitated to share, since it sounds so wacky....but it's true. I don't think of this as 'paranormal...I honestly have never figured out what this could have been.
This was in the 70's; hubby was working that night, and my daughter and I were alone, about 11 pm. She was sleeping, and I was in the kitchen, reading, I think. The tv and radio were off. I hear this noise that I can only describe as a creaking sound, like someone very heavy walking on a wood floor, but overhead. We had an upstairs, but always kept the windows locked, and didn't use that floor, so nothing was up there. I heard it again, and again, and all I could think of was someone had to be on the roof; silly, I know. I walked all around the house checking windows and looking out to see if there was a ladder somewhere. Nothing. If this happened now, I might freeze in place, but those of you with children know that they come first, and that protective instinct kicks in, and you will do whatever you have to do. I then went upstairs, looked out the windows, checked the small closet; nothing anywhere.
I don't know how long I heard the noises; maybe 5 minutes or so. I was pretty shaken by then, and didn't know what to do, and surely wasn't going to call LE and tell them to come out and check things. So, I called a friend and neighbor who lived two houses down. We were both alone nights, and had an understanding that if anything was ever wrong we could call each other at any time. Now, here is the real puzzler.
I started to tell her what I had heard, and she stopped me and said, "Was it like something was on the roof?" I said "Yes, exactly!". She proceeded to tell me that around the same time, she had been sitting watching tv with her black labrador sleeping at her feet. The dog awakened suddenly, growling; the hair raised up on her back, and she ran to the door leading outside. My friend followed her, then the dog turned and headed for the door leading to the upstairs. At this time, was when my friend also heard the same noises that I had heard. Though she was terrified by that time, she opened the door to the upstairs, and the dog bolted upstairs, barking and growling. Then, upstairs, the dog quieted down, but stayed up there for a few minutes before coming down. Obviously no one was up there. She said the dog was acting nervously, pacing for a while after that.
We were on the phone for a good hour or more that night trying to make sense of it all, and I suppose we were both glad we weren't the only ones who had experienced it. I've not told a lot of people about this, but when I did, had responses like: squirrels in the attic, mice, bats, etc. None of those could have made that much noise, in my opinion, and in the years before and after living in that house, we never heard that again. This still comes to me from time to time, and I cannot imagine what it was. What on earth was on our roofs that night??

Spooky and so strange that both of you had the same experience that night. Something or some one on both at or about the same time. 2 doors down--wonder about the house between the 2 of you or if what ever skipped one house . Was it also a 2 story house?

I can't remember who lived between us then, but there is one friend on facebook who did live between us, but don't know if that was at that same time. I am going to ask her that question. Yes, they were all two story homes in that neighborhood. As for the friend who also experienced this, I have searched for her, and haven't found her as yet. She did have serious health problems; and perhaps is not with us anymore; could be divorced, and I don't remember her maiden name. I would sure like to know if she remembers this.
LOL; I remember we did discuss 'aliens' or some spaceship, too; later on. Tho I don't really believe in such things, well, who knows, right.

Spooky stories. Glad I'm not in the house alone reading them. lol I can't think of any strange experiences I've had but my husband had one a couple years ago. This happened in October. He was on his way home from town and about half a mile down the road from our house something crossed the road a short distance in front of him. It was at least seven feet tall and covered in shaggy fur. It cleared a paved road in one bound from ditch to ditch. He slowed down to watch it as it ran across an open field. About 50 yards out it stopped and turned to look at him and then it just kind of disappeared. He didn't think it looked like a bigfoot. Said it looked more like the Michigan Dogman. For those who have never heard of it, it's a tall canine-like creature that walks upright on it's hind legs. They even wrote a song about it called Legend of the Dogman. He said he didn't know what it was but it sure didn't look human. It creeped me out that he saw it so close to home.

No ghost stories here either but I don't know if you guys ever have a feeling something is about to happen? But just a few things that happen to me...... I was watching the neighbor kids one day the 3 girls and had my daughter , so the 4 girls, well it started to rain , then a really bad storm came thru , we were all standing on the back porch watching the lightening off a ways and I said "wouldn't it be cool if lightening struck right there?" and two seconds later lightening struck right in front of us!! to this day the girls talk about that.... Another one .... At a friends house , three of us women sitting there outside on the deck talking because one of my friends boys had friends over, it was dark about 11pm or so , mind you cannot see the driveway from where we were , well one of the boys were leaving and we gave him huggz , then as he got in his truck I said "I hope he doesn't hit my jeep" and two seconds later we hear crunch... my friend said what was that?? I said he hit my jeep ... sure enuf!! pffttt! 1 more ... just the other day I asked dave "do you have your phone?" he digs it out and says "yea" I said "good because your friend is going to call you" boom his phone rings and it was his friend he was wanting to call LOL ...
