I lived in a haunted house when i was a kid - there was a young spirit 'upstairs' who was nice and gentle and did nothing but sit on the end of the beds - you'd move your leg at night and actually bump into it as if someone was really there.
The ones downstairs were different - One was under the internal staircase and made the whole area feel cold and would wrap the curtain that covered the opening under the stairs around you as you passed it. But the REAL TROUBLESOME one was the angry one that showed itself as a red & yellow cyclonic swirl that was under the house (the otherside of a door from the staircase one) and would chase you out of under the house and gave us all the creeps and a definate vibe of it not wanting us there - it never hurt us just scared us.
We learnt to co-exist with these as they didn't harm us but i was glad to get out of there when i was a teenager still.
I have other stories but i don't have time to relay them and this is the nicest one the rest are crazy or even scarier!
So yes i do believe in SPIRITS.
TIPS: *Do not be scared of them, they were living people/animals once.
*The bad ones cannot hurt you if you don't show fear and tell them they are breaking the universal law if they try to. They are not all bad, but commonsense will let you figure out if they mean harm or not.
When you have the time please post the other stories

I have a few and I will start with this one.

As a young teenager I would stay many nights at a unit with my now hubby that he and his sister rented.
It was an old unit that was two levels .
It was situated on the corner of Canterbury Rd and Dulwich St Dulwich Hill NSW.

One night we were walking home , myself , boyfriend , boyfriends sister and a male friend , when we looked up and saw the loungeroom light on and a figure looking out the window. We ran home as no one else lived there although every night we had a bunch of people over.

When we reached the front door to unlock and go in ( the door was frosted glass) we could see something behind the door. It took alot to open and couldn't open all the way so after some convincing I squeezed through , only to discover one of the really heavy old round loungeroom chairs behind the door. Immediately I panicked thinking someone was in there and blocking us going in.
I moved the very heavy chair away enough so the others could get in and when we searched the unit top to bottom including under beds, wardrobes ect even behind shower curtain there was nothing, no one at all and we even checked windows all were locked from the inside and we were on the top level.

Now this wasn't the first time things moved , we often found things moved and at one time a book flew across the room from the mantelpiece.

My boyfriend never believed in ghost but after the chair he started to believe!

His sister moved in with her boyfriend and my boyfriend moved in with me and my family's home in Peakhurst but were we any safer 🤔
 
When you least expect it you will see or hear one.

Have you never felt someone in the room or someone standing behind you or an unexplained bump
Will tell you one true story that might make you nervy.
I worked in my outdoor garage with the light on. When l was done, I would turn the light off and lock the garage door, then go inside.
Looking out of the window, l noticed that the light was on in the garage. I thought it odd so l went out again, opened garage door and the light switch was on. I swore l turned that light switch off.
I switched it off again, locked garage door and went back inside.
Looked out of the window and the light was on again. What was going on?
Went out to the garage and I played with the switch. Turns out the switch was worn and the off action just wasn't holding. Next day I replaced the switch. Problem solved.
No ghosts in that house.


Or were there? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I am too much of a realist to acknowledge ghosts. Am the same when it comes to religion too.
I need the proof that they exist.
I respect your opinion and I believe that we are all entitled to our own thoughts/ideas on this subject. I'd like to tell you a story and please make of it what you will. About a month ago I went up to my Dads grave site to lay some flowers as I was not going to be able to make it there this Father Days. He is laid to rest in a beautiful little country cemetery and I love visiting him there as it's so quiet and peaceful. Anyway,I arrange all the flowers in vases along with some little angel and cherub statues ,and place them around his headstone. I add some more poppies( he was a returned serviceman) to the bunch I had put there on Anzac Day and then I sit down and have a chat( well I did all the talking😄😉) . I began crying as I told him how much I missed him and loved him and I sat there for awhile just thinking of him. Then it was time to leave,as my dog was with me and she was getting restless. I go and put her in the car which is a couple of metres away and then I go back to his gravesite to say goodbye. I kneel down,and I bid him goodbye and tell him again how much I love and miss him. I say bye Dad,love you,see you next time, I then get up and begin to walk back to the car and I hear something fall and I turn around and one of the vases had fallen over onto the grass. I'm like WHAT.?? Now,there was not an ounce of wind about,so it wasn't that,the flowers were distributed evenly in the vase so it wasn't that. All,I can say is I had a really nice feeling about something. Just saying.🤔

Nice story but something must have caused it to fall :)
 
loved that trilogy.... Karen Black was the perfect choice for the role
I was reading somewhere that when a child dies tragically their spirit sometimes stay on as it's scared to move on or they just don't realise they are gone
I owned an old hospital in tassie in Rosebery and still had the morgue nurses used to tell me about 2 little girls who died and stayed in the morgue watching them work. My ex turned it into a workshop and he swears to this day that they were watching him I never went in there it gave me the creeps. Same as the old miners spirits who were in the lodge they wouldn’t leave. So glad when I did.😁

Hubby and I did a cruise to Tasmania just before covid hit and one place we visited was Port Arthur and as soon as I stepped off the ship I had a heavy feeling a very uneasy feeling and it got stronger the more we looked around I felt like souls were staring at us especially in the old post master house and the jail .
It's a very beautiful place but feels sad

Yes,I felt the same when I did the tour of Aradale the old Mental Asylum ( as they used to call them back then) in Ararat. Same with the old Pentridge Prison in Melbourne. But the strongest feeling I got was when I volunteered for Open House Melbourne one year and was at an old mansion in Caulfield. The vibe I felt when I stepped through the front door was so strong and I thought Yep! There's movement here at night,that's for sure. 🤔 And I don't mean the possums.!!🦫😉

Creepy you can stay at pentridge now it’s got upmarket accommodation😁but not for me I’m a scaredy cat.😁
 
Suzanne Rose,thank you for bringing up this subject. I think it's interesting. Myself,personally,I do believe,or like to believe that there is something out there,that spirits,ghosts etc do live on but again it's a personal choice and we are all entitled to our own opinions and I will and do respect other people's opinions on this.
