Do you believe in Ghost

Have you had a spooky encounter ?

In Australia it is illegal not to disclose that there is something strange happening in your home.

Have you experienced anything that had no explanation

Yes! All the time actually. Sometimes, my Alexa plays music by itself that's not included in my playlist. It always plays music from years back (songs from the 50s to 70s) around midnight and it scares me... :(

When it happened way too often, I decided to keep it stowed away for good. Now, my pets just bark out of nowhere (my cat also randomly gets angry) at night... Nothing too bad now though!

I never used too, but over the past 30 years I've excepted there is something.
First experience was at 11am on a sunny morning I was wiping my table when I caught something out of my eye....a grey cloacked figure but as soon as I saw it , it was gone. I told my husband but of course he tried to make excuses I then called my nan to tell her , I said guess what I just saw she replied exactly what I saw as she had just seen it.
I never saw it again but she did she would see it a number times a day.

We thought it had something to do with my grandfather as we were told he had maybe 6 months to live.
I couldn't help but wonder what the grey colour of this ghost ment , it was of solid form. I xalled around a number of spiritual churches and one said that someone was ready to past but was fighting it.
Six weeks later my nan passed away a heart attack. When we thought it was for pa it ended up being nan.

I have given her a gift , a clock of the last supper it stopped working after a few years but she loved it to much to throw it out , so she kept it on the wall just for the picture. This clock ran on batteries.
Now on the day of her funeral we looked up as we heard the ticking of the clock and that clock was now working. My uncle said the batteries may have slipped into place so We took it down to look at it and was amazed to see there were no batteries in it ! The clock kept working for 2 days when it finally stopped.

The day after she passed I was sitting early morning having coffee and crying , my grandmother raised me and was my rock. I said out loud I wished I knew if you were OK when suddenly my digital clock radio went on and her favourite song played Honey by Bobby Goldsborough .
We haven't felt her or had any signs she was around after this.

I have other incidents I will post later

My digital clock radio that I have in the kitchen the alarm would go off at 12.05 am and no alarm was set this has happened over the past 2 years although hasn't happened for a few months. It would be random days or the radio would go on for no reason at all

I have floor tiles and floor boards right through my house.
Occasionally at night we will hear our wooden chairs move on the tiles.

We will all be downstairs when a number of us will hear the computer chair move on the floor boards upstairs in the family room when no body is up there

I will hear someone walking in my hallway outside my bedroom. I'm not the only one who has heard it even my husband hears it and he doesn't want to believe

NOOOO! Oh my god... This just gave me chills!!! 😨 I would be so scared if I ever experienced anything similar to that... I think a lot of people don't believe in ghosts but I certainly do!

There are way too many strange occurrences and things that we can't explain yet. I think we should keep an open mind to all the possibilities!

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE GHOST STORIES!
 
A very close friend of mine is a ghost whisperer, since she was young she would see ghost and everyone thought she was mad.

After she got married and had 2 kids she opened a beauty shop she is a beautician by trade but this is where her next chapter began.

She would have clients when all of a sudden spirits would appear asking her to tell her client something, so she would and her clients were amazed knowing there was no way she could have known.

One afternoon a spirit of a young boy came to her begging that she give a nessage to his family , she told him he would need to bring them to her as she will not go to them.

A week later a young girl called in and asked if she could do her eye brows. In conversation the girl said it was the first time she had ever been to a beautician.
Then he appeared he said 'this is my sister please tell her I'm sorry I was stupid.
L told the sister and she said how could you be so heartless my brother died 6 weeks ago.
He died surfing the roof of a car on his year 12 muck up day. He fell from the car . This was in Sydney and same area as my friend had her shop.
The girl said that L would have heard it on the news ....then the young boy went on about what he did that morning he died...what he and his sister had planned infact every question the girl asked he answered.

My friend now has now closed her beautician shop and has opened a place just for this ,

she has written books and has even helped the police solve cases.

A work college lost her uncle through suicide, her father's brother. They needed questions answered, I suggested she go see L.

Jessica manage to get an appointment the next week.
During her appointment her uncle appeared to L , she told Jessican to tell her father there is no suicide note that he just couldn't live any longer Ge want on to explain certain things that actually made sense to Jessica.
They had been searching for a suicide letter.
Also he named Jessica's brother who was the uncle's favourite he said tell your brother not to get that tattoo ( he was getting his first tattoo that week.

In the conversation her uncle said so much stuff that would only make sense to her family including things he did as a child with his brother.

Jessica and her family got the closure they were searching for.

Jessica's mum went to see L and came away so freaked out by what she was told including details of the death of her best friend 40 years ago.
She never returned to see L again nor did any off her family. It was too real n freaky

We went on a cruise to Tasmania and Port Arthur was one of the stop overs

As soon as we left the ship and stepped on the soil of Port Arthur you felt unseen eyes on you.

We visited the convict prison which was very eerie, it was like you felt presence of the departed.

When we were walking the corridors I felt on a couple of times a soft tug of my hair.

We visited the old houses of the postman , the boss of the prison and the old churches.

In all of these places you felt eyes and heavy presence

In on of the houses both my husband and I saw a dark figure in the corner which vanished

Even walking through the park at 10am in the morning you could feel the strong presence if someone. I was taking photos of my husband walking down the long path when I could hear a voice which I though was a child.

When we went back on the ship I said to my husband I want to come back one day and do a ghost tour at night he replied I don't think so.... he does not believe in ghost but came away pretty creeper out.

The feeling I had there was total sadness and such a heavy feeling.

It wasn't until we were both back on the ship we remembered this was also where the massacre happened but what I felt what ever was haunting this place was from a long time ago.

I researched a bit when I got home and found this is one of the most haunted places in Australia

I've been waiting for this story after seeing the picture you shared in the photography forum! Though I think the place looks pretty and whimsical, I do get the same feeling just looking at it. It feels unsettling!

I'm such a sucker for horror stories though and wish I could go on that trip with you instead :p I don't mind lurking around that place at night! Hehehe! Let's catch some ghouls!

ROGUE

Australia's most haunted place: The story of Port Arthur and the Blue Lady.

The disembodied laughter of children and a mysterious woman in blue.
Thousands of people tour the Port Arthur Historic Site every year and many of them report creepily similar experiences.
Port Arthur has a long history. It began in 1830 as a timber station, and for the next twenty years it housed some of the most hardened criminals from England, along with petty convicts and repeat offenders from other prisons around Australia.

It also housed the families of convicts - many of them young children.
The harsh living conditions and the manual labour these convicts undertook, meant they often died young and under horrible circumstances, and many believe they haunt the historic site to this day.
When Stateline Tasmania visited the site in 2003, the Port Arthur Ghost Tour guides showed them through thousands of written reports by people who had experienced something paranormal while on the tour - and they all had eerily similar stories to tell.
Many reported seeing a 'Blue Lady' who some believe is the ghost of a woman who was married to a Port Arthur accountant. The couple apparently lived in the penal colony during the 1800s.
"I saw the figure of a lady in a crinoline dress and a bonnet with arm outstretched."
"The woman had a pale dress from waist to ground."
"Figure of a youngish woman wearing a long blue/grey dress looking out of a back door of the building."
port-arthur-2-600x315.jpg

Legend is the woman and her baby died during childbirth and so she keeps returning to that particular building day after day, looking for her unborn child.
Others have reported seeing a little girl who has fallen down the stairs at the commandant's house.
"I felt a little girl laying at the bottom of the stairs," one person said. "She was laying in a pool of blood. Her right arm is broken. She is really scared."
"I could hear the little girl as I walked up the path."
"Her arm is twisted up under her. I felt like my arm was hers."
While many tourists are haunted by the sound of children laughing and playing.
The children run up and down the stairs, playing and laughing, and on balmy, still summer nights you can hear them playing hopscotch and singing skipping songs.
In 2015 a visitor captured some ghostly apparitions on camera during the tour and posted them to the Facebook page 'Australian Hauntings'. One photo shows the figure of a small boy lurking in one of the cells, while in another photo a ghostly white smudge.
But possibly the most spine-tingling image is that of several ghostly, child-like figures peering out the windows of one of the buildings.
Whether or not you believe the legends of Port Arthur, its long history and haunting architecture, are enough to make your spine tingle.

I met a lady through work who had also visited Port Arthur and described the exact feeling that I had. The sadness and heavy feeling as soon as you step in there.

If you don't believe in ghost I'm pretty sure after visiting therr you will
