an ex girlfriend saw a ghost train running through the bottom of her garden she told me a number she saw on the side. it turned out that the old track went through the bottom of her garden and after checking up at the library that train line was with that number.......... :o

I used to live in Redditch, there used to be a rail tunnel linking Redditch to Studley, long time closed and blocked off, at night sometimes, you could hear a train rumbling through the tunnel.

I have had two unexplainable experiences.

Whilst living in Louth, Lincs. My niece (4yrs old) said "Who is that"  whilst pointing towards a corner of my garden. She described him in reasonable detail. From her description she was seeing a man wearing clothes late 19th early 20th century.

I could see nothing...............  ::)

I was repairing an electric wheelchair for a young lady near Louth. Upon reassembling the chair I found a part to be missing. After searching all over the sparsely furnished room her Dad said he would fit it when its turns up.

Suddenly we heard a noise across the room. There was the part. Hot to the touch. The girl said it was Henry, playing.

The girl was not responsible, she was a paraplegic............. ::)

Her Dad said she often talks to a friend called Henry............... ::)

While working laying flooring in an old mill it was late at night, myself and another lad were nailing down the plywood when a dark shadow passed the room door. We both stopped at exactly the same time and looked at each other I asked if he'd just experienced what i'd seen. He confirmed, we down tools and legged it. I don't believe in ghosts though can't explain what happened. One of the things that always gets me about ghost stories is that they always appear fully clothed period or otherwise. Surely a spirit has no form? :o

i love this subject.

i worked with 3 blokes who work away like i do. they reckon they were walking through a graveyard after the pub in a place in kent i think and a full scale battle started with horsemen and soldiers. heads being cut off and people being shot. said hes never been so scared in his life. said to look it up on the internet but i never remembered it, supposed to be 1 of the most haunted sies in britain  ;D ;D

you go in the tunnels under victoria. the further you go, the stranger it becomes, gets cold, the quietness changes and you hear wierd sounds. you really sense there are people there, and it becomes to the point because you start worrying, you lose track where you are dont know which way to go. i really did panic, hot bricks coming out my pants. i take these things very serious so much has happened in my life concerning all this stuff. i think its one of the most fascinating subject there is. i love the thrill of being scared to death and then being able to laugh after

Me aswell, I have spent hours reading about sightings and experiences. But never seen anything myself. Nobody seems to be able to explain it with a definative explanation.

In York there is a place where Roman foot soldiers march but you can only see them from the waist up. They are walking on a road long gone and the streets have been built up to there present level.  :y

I had a strange sighting one dark night on my way home from my moms. I was living in Kidderminster at the time and was cutting through the country lanes to get home quicker. Came round a really sharp bend with a dairy farm just off the bend and had to anchor hard. I nearly went up the back of what looked like a stagecoach, it swung off to the right and right through a 20 foot high hedge at the side of the milking block. I went back to speak to the farmer a few days later and he said he'd seen it loads of times and that the main gate used to be there till his father moved it to the other side of the sheds and planted the hedge! :o :o

It's not just the dead who float around in ethereal form either.  When I worked in theatres (of the operating variety) I often felt "someone" brush past me during the op .... with no-one visible nearby. Patients also often reported dreaming of drifting around the room while out  :-?

At my last workplace I saw an elderly man standing in the bait cabin door, I went to ask if I could help him but he was gone when I got there. I described him to a couple of the staff who had worked there for over 30 years and they said, that will be old Jack, he worked here ages ago and died 10 years ago, they have also seen him around. BTW I had NEVER met him but described him to a tee.

I quite regularly hear people talking,when i turn round there is no one anywhere near me...
Freaks my missus out no end ;D

When i was a baby,6-8 months my Mum told me i used to talk every night to a 'Lady' in my cot,my Mum gradually got me to describe this Lady,i described my Gran to a tee,including the brown trousers and pink jumper she always wore.....

My Gran died 2 years before i was born....... :-?

I went along to a Medium once,this woman was supposed to be really good,told various people things that were very accurate......
I went for a laugh to be honest,but when i went in to the room, she sat with a very shocked look on her face and said....

"Im sorry but im going to have to ask you to leave,you are bringing too many people in with you"
"You dont need me,you can do what i do yourself"

Kinda freaked me out for a couple of days!

Things happen in and around my house that are strange,some i could find a reasonable explanation for and other thing just cant be explained.
Like the time when my Kitchen drawer was lying open and a wooden spoon crashed down on the floor,nobody was near it and it was on the bottom of the drawer,no scientific explanation why it would fall out the drawer,you know how deep and how high the sides of a standard modern kitchen drawer are??

Strange?

my mums house  ive always said theres someone there, noises i used to hear, kids talking doors banging. and always a shine in the corner by the chimney. nobody ever heard a thing but me. its quite scary when  concorde flips over and crashes, and then you get the shock of knowing youve dreamt that happening, and thats not the only  thing either. the mind is a very delicate part of your body,it can decieve the mind very good, it can be your strength or your weakness and if its not used correctly can only lead to madness  ;D ;D

we get regular feelings of someone else being in the house, so I suppose I sort of belive, but as a kid growing up in Huntingdon, I spent many a night camping and fishing by nuns bridge at Hinchingbrooke house, it's supposed to be haunted, god knows what I'd done if I'd seen something !!! ;D

I'm a definate skeptic. My wife on the other hand watches most haunted and any other ghost related cr@p that she can find on tv.

I have tried most haunted but as far as I can see it is all a load of set ups. Any one off camera could be making a noise or dragging things around.

Didnt believe at all until about 10 years ago we moved to a big old house that many people had said was haunted,didnt worry me in the slightest until all sorts of strange things began to happen,got pretty stressful in the end as you didnt know what was going to happen next.
Loved the place when we first moved in but grew to hate it and couldnt wait to move out.
got some pictures of it some where,might post them up at some point.

Yeh, our house is haunted. Only built about 1890 and, like all in our area, housed local fisherman. Every now and again hear footsteps up the stairs and in back bedroom. Both my older kids have "seen" him when they had that room when lived here when they were little and our youngest , whos room it is now, has also seen him (" an old man with big boots and a big coat on") and first time he told us we know that it wasnt because he'dheard us talk about it or anything. But its never freaked any of them. They say kids are more receptive to that sort of thing tho dont they. Mind you, littleun is funny, he freaked his aunt out big time in the summer. He was at his nans house playing in the garden when his aunt heard this areoplane in the distance. Without looking up from his game he said nonchantly "oh thats a jerry plane Auntie Trace". "What, you mean a jerry plane like a daddy plane?". "No", he says, "its a Jerry plane I said". She thinks nothing of it until the plane slowly comes into view and its this WW2 German airplane from some local airshow, but he knew nothing about that! She now thinks he must have been a spitfire pilot or something in a past life!! :y

Not sure I believe in ghosts, but spirits is a different matter.

 Both our dog and my daughter, when very young, have seen something at the top of the stairs in our house, on several occasions, neither have been scared by the experience.

I myself have ‘sensed’ and smelled a particular person in a place he used to work and love, I called a colleague at the time, she felt the same, the new boss was not happy. The strange thing is that the guy we sensed was not dead, but the place was a love and a way of life, he had retired.

There is an argument to say that children’s imaginary friends are not so imaginary.

I knew a guy some years ago, very respectful who swears he felt something in the attic, which had a story, of an old vicarage turned into a community facility.

I have a very open mind on this, I feel there must be something.

we have an old church at the top of bawsey hill (been on time team about a saxon murder/execution).
years ago i took a young lady that way to "see my etchings", opposite that turn to the church was a turning called lovers lane (my destination) but for some reason i turned up to bawsey church???- parked the car and got friendly.
ten minutes later there was a scream and corn ears started to pelt the car. the car was then rapidly started and i flew down the dirt track towards the main road passing a dissused pig farm.  as we passed we swore we both heard pigs squeeling !!!
until 5 the next morning she did not want to be alone???? :o................
