I'm one of those people who never seen or heard a ghost or anything Paranormal my entire life. Anyone else like that? Or do most people have a story to share?

Nope, but I dated a girl a decade or so ago who used to swear that everything was due to ghosts, no matter how mundane.

“Did you hear that?”

“Yeah. It was the wind blowing branches against the house.”

“I don’t think so. It sounded weird. Maybe it was a spirit trying to enter into our world.”

“*Sigh*”

“Oh my God, did you hear that??”

“Yeah. I farted.”

“No no, it was a spirit trying to tell us something.”

“I think we should see other people.”

I went with 3 other people to an old (supposedly haunted) rock quarry once, we tried to start as small fire and failed so we split up and went the edges of the quarry. We meet back up at where we tried to start the fire and noticed it burning a tiny bit.
This small fire we tried to start and left not only started going when we got back but accelerated at a very unnatural pace. The flames shot up to around 6 foot in under a minute, everyone screamed and ran and, since I wasn't the one that drove, I kinda had to go with them.
I'd love to go back there but I'm not sure where it was and I don't know any of those people anymore. Definitely the most unexplainable thing I've seen.

My car radio randomly turned on while pulling in to the Stanley Hotel though (hotel The Shining was written at). That was kinda spooky.

Played a Bone Thugs N Harmony song backward through the computer, and after a few seconds in a flower pot that was in the center of a coffee table suddenly tipped over. A ceramic flower vase that has been there fore months cannot suddenly just tip over. There were no animals in this house, no wind, nothing. My friend freaked out, took the CD out, threw fake holy water on it and hid it in his sister's bedroom lol.

That's the only paranormal thing I ever experienced.

edit: Oh, some where I predicted-dreamed what would be on TV as soon as I woke up, even a review of a concert I had no idea was in my city with detailed descriptions of the merchandise being sold, but I'll chalk this up to some sort of deja-vu feeling instead.

Maybe the quarry had magnesium.

Nope, and neither has anyone else.

But even if the question is have I experienced anything that seemed supernatural, the answer is still no. When you don't believe in it it's easier to see rational answers to things that happen, I guess.

I know, I know, no fun allowed.

Does astral projection count?
You mean dreaming? No, that's not a supernatural event.

(I know what it is according to some. But it's dreaming.)

There's one place where I hear really loud and disturbing noises that I can't explain, but only late at night and only when I'm completely alone.
I'm not willing to chalk it up to something paranormal just based on that but it's deeply unsettling.

Not everyone is able to attain the levels of enlightenment that I have, I know. This all must seem impossible to those whose minds are still closed, so I don’t blame you.

I've had a couple of experiences that seemed like magic mushroom induced telepathy. Basically, in tripping in a group, everyone in the group seemed to simultaneously and privately have the same series of thoughts, while being somehow aware that it was happening.

I used to work projection at a movie theatre. One time late at night I was shutting down everything. When I was about to turn off the last set of lights I heard an loud echoing grunt coming from the complete opposite end of the projection booth. I kind of shrugged it off and when I went downstairs only me and my manager were the only people in the building. It never happened again but it was something I cannot fully explain.

As a young kid, even then, my parents were fond of trying different places to eat in and out of our town we lived in.
We tried this very very old pub/restaurant in town called "The Friar's Club"... which was built near a church and rumored the ground was built upon a graveyard.

One day my parents and I were eating there and we had to use the bathroom to wash our hands after eating. My mother went to the ladies room, and I went to the men's room.

There was NOBODY in the bathroom when I went in... nobody in the stall, the door was only partially closed but I could sorta see enough no one was under there with no shoes or anything inside. As I was washing my hands, I noticed what looked like a white lab coat hanging over the side of the stall... didn't notice that at first when I came in... suddenly the lab coat pulls off and the stall door closes. I was like... "Uh hello?" No answer. I knock on the door, no answer, I grab the stall door to open it... I got a complete view of the inside, there was NOBODY in it, and the lab coat... was nowhere to be found.

I fucking freaked out and ran the hell out of the bathroom! I told my mother the story and she told me the exact same thing happened to her in the ladies room.

We never came back to The Friar's Club ever again.

It would be some time later, whether months or a year... but we had read in the local Newspaper the restaurant burnt down to the ground, and they never found out the cause.

Swear I am not making this shit up.

The only time I truly felt anything that paranormal while awake.

Twice, but I don't like to talk about it because someone who hasn't experienced such a thing themselves are quick to dismiss it. I know it happened and the people with me as well know. That's all that matters.

I was fucking around at the lemp mansion in St Louis being all goofy where a dude killed himself in a barber chair, me and my bud felt real bad vibes for the next week.

Have also seen UFOs on two occasions with other people.

Yeah and I have seen some straight up scream inducing shit sleep paralysis but I can't scream because sleep paralysis.

I live in a very old building and the cupboards do open and close when I'm not in the kitchen. Thankfully it never happens when I'm in the room but I do hear it.

Also once saw with another person in the car something we could only really describe as a giant centipede ghost cross road in front of us.

The closest thing I have ever had to a "supernatural" event was a music box playing a few notes late at night when I was home alone and nothing had messed with it.

My friend is adamant his old house was haunted. Doors closing by themselves, footsteps and voices while being the only one there, etc. Its an older house and definitely has the look of what would consider a haunted house, but never experienced anything there myself.

I've experienced things that could be considered paranormal but I don't believe they were ghosts or anything. My friends and I used to drive around searching for creepy stuff back in high school when I first got my car. We certainly saw a law of weird shit tho mostly it was urban exploring abandoned stuff.

The main thing I can think of that seemed paranormal was when my friends and I were in a pretty rural area in a small town. Down this big hill they had a tiny park surrounded by a creek and forest that was down a dirt road. We crossed the creek and went way out into the woods about 20 minute walk away and we found a small clearing with a lit street light and a broken picnic table floating in a shallow creek, no paths or anything to it. None of this could be seen by the town or park, it was weird but not paranormal. We would go there often to hang out, one day in the winter we were sitting on the table talking when we heard a loud bang and rustling like something smashing into a tree and leaves flying everywhere. We started running out of the woods through the deep snow back towards my car, I was behind my friends and suddenly I hear a deep inhale sound and feel something smash into me and launch me from behind and I dove into the snow. I have no idea what happened. I played a lot of hockey and the best way to describe it is it felt like someone had cross checked me from behind. I turned to look and nothing was there, my friends were way ahead of me.

Another seemingly paranormal thing was when we were driving in rural Ontario n the middle of the night where there is literally nothing but trees or fields. We were in a really hilly forested area when we dipped down to the bottom of a hill and see a man coming out of the trees on the side of the road in wet looking fishing garb (rubber coat, boots etc). Remember this is literally no where, no towns or houses. We continue down the road and start joking about horror movies and a few minutes later we are passing some large fields and we see what looks like the exact same guy on the side of the road again. Terrified the shit out of us.

An example of non-paranormal weird stuff. Old abandoned farm house in the middle of no where that was falling over. Large shed in the backyard stuffed to the ceiling with about 500 muddy computers. One of the rooms in the house was a similar situation but was the entire room was ankle deep with broken old action figures like He-man and Thundercats. We also found a small hole dug in the ground with a car battery in it that had the top broken and was stuffed with what looked like notes and photos, they were all deteriorated so we were worried about battery acid so we didn't read them though

When I was about 7-9 years old I was staying in New Orleans in the French Quarter and I saw a ghostly looking woman on the balcony opposite of our window in white Victorian era looking dress.
The weird part is the rest of my family sitting right there didn't see her and she seemingly vanished quickly.

Honestly I don't know how to feel about it.
I 100% believe I saw a ghost back then but if you ask me right now if I believe ghosts are out there right now haunting places i'd say no.


There some other weird stuff but our family joked so much about it I don't take it seriously anymore.

Ghosts actually tend to be the things I have the hardest time in horror media because it's easy for my brain to make up vague images of people in the corner of my eye if I get scared enough.

I'm not really a believer myself either, but you'd of thought maybe the, like, 6th post of 'Ghosts aren't real nerd' would of been enough of that? If you aren't into this then you can just not post, you don't have to be a jerk to the guy.

Anyway, on topic I've not had anything happen, and I've never really been a believer as I say, but I do like reading spooky stories, so I hope some fun comes of this thread.

Not personally, went to a few “haunted” places from some website that documented places in California and never saw anything.
My best friends high school gf swore her house was haunted, she was totally a no nonsense girl and you could tell she had trouble talking about her experiences, which she wouldn’t do at the actual house. We were once playing board games at her house and I made a joke about it, oh man, she went so pale, like I had just sentenced her to some legit misery. Hard to believe someone could fake that fear.

People are dismissive, such as RoadHazzard, because they are afraid.
I was the same way. I would dismiss everything and believe I had a rational reason for everything. However, both the incidents that occurred happened at the same place within a few minutes with 2 other people witnessing it. We weren't on drugs or drunk w/e. Weird shit happened and none of us talk about it to anyone because it sounds bonkers. Something I'll just die with I guess, but it has opened my mind when others tell me they had a experience. I'm not so quick to dismiss them now.

I'm so curious but I obviously will respect your wishes to remain silent on the matter

Not sure. When I was younger, a drawn portrait of my parents with my oldest sister in between them... my mom had a snake tongue come out of her mouth. It freaked me out. I never looked at it after that, but then we moved years later and they hung it in the hallway, and I'd always pass by it when going to my room. Every time I passed it I'd just feel this... awkward feeling. Eventually I said "Fuck it" and started actively looking at it in a standoffish manner, and as expected, nothing happened.

Over 20 years later it's back in its original spot and I always remember the snake tongue when I look at it, but I'm not scared of it. I see it almost every day, but I just ponder what it was that I actually saw/experienced back then.

That's about it.

I mean, people say don't do the real bad stuff and yet people don't do it out of fear. So why not try it?

Nope, but I dated a girl a decade or so ago who used to swear that everything was due to ghosts, no matter how mundane.

“Did you hear that?”

“Yeah. It was the wind blowing branches against the house.”

“I don’t think so. It sounded weird. Maybe it was a spirit trying to enter into our world.”

“*Sigh*”

“Oh my God, did you hear that??”

“Yeah. I farted.”

“No no, it was a spirit trying to tell us something.”

“I think we should see other people.”
I dated someone who was always asking god for advice and finding signs in everything. Signs might include a fly landing on her hand (she lived on a farm), the refrigerator compressor kicking on (it was really old and constantly turning on and off), etc. These things are everywhere if you just turn everything into a sign.

I'll tell you part of it. A friend and I use to "ghost hunt" and would go to various places. Never had anything happen that was un-explainable for years until we visited one location. We would do a quick walk through around the property and in the building/house to make sure there was no homeless people first. Anyway, after we did that we eventually located to a room upstairs and my two friends and I were talking about how boring it was and then a block of wood flew up and hit the wall the opposite direction of us. All 3 of us briskly got the hell out of the house.

Watching a block of wood shoot up and hit a wall is terrifying. I don't live in a part of the country that has earthquakes and there was no water leak seeing as how the house was abandoned for a very long time. It makes no sense and the few times I've mentioned it people suggest someone was playing a trick on us. I find it hard to believe someone would camp out this house at crazy hours and attach a string to a block of wood, drill holes through a few walls and watch us on camera for the perfect time to pull the string. I try not to talk about that night because it happened and there is no reasonable explanation.

Yes but I refuse to believe that it was paranormal.

It happened at my perants house, my dad was away so my mom wanted my brother and me to sleep in her room because she was scared sleeping by herself. I was around 10yrs old and my brother 14, we were both on summer break so we stayed up late watching TV. I had just fallen asleep when my brother woke me to go to sleep in my mom's room, I remember waking up and seeing Jay Leno in the middle of his monolog. My brother turns off the TV and starts walking towards my moms room and I follow roughly 10 feet behind. It's extremely dark and I could barely see my brother in front of me, all of a sudden I see this dark figure with an extremely faint blue outline walking towards me but I just thought it was my brother. It stops in front of a big wall heater that's right by my mom's room and lays down in front of it, which is something we all did during winter. Thinking it was my brother I stand over it and begin to whisper yell my brothers name telling him to get up, I did this several times until I hear my mom's voice yell out Que trais? (what's with you?) as she turns on the lights, of course there's nothing there. I'm still half asleep so I figured that I'm just seeing things and just went to bed.

The next morning I begin to wake up to my mom and brother talking, my brother is telling my how he saw this dark figure walking out of her bedroom just as he was going to walk in, he said he literally closed his eyes and walked through it, that's when I immediately woke up and told them I saw it too. I tell my mom that I seen it lay down in front of the heater and that's why I was yelling out my brothers name telling him to get up. My brother then asked me if it had a blue outline and I said yes, this immediately freaked out my mom. She got a hold of Holy water and placed it around the house. Till this day she says she is scared of the dark and can't sleep without the TV on.

As crazy as that story may be I still don't believe in ghost, although I did at that time. I know now that there has to be some explanation for it.
