Ghosts?

[Jennilyn]

I swear I just saw one! I was just in the kitchen with Kaylee pouring her a drink of water and out of the corner of my eye I saw someone walk past the kitchen door out in the living room, like gliding, but his/her legs were moving. I thought it was Kristen coming back downstairs from her room but nope, she's still up there. Eek! Anyone else ever deal with the "other side"?

I've had a few in places that we've lived and I have always said that as long as they are nice, don't throw things across the room and green goo doesn't start oozing out of my walls then they can stay. I think that it's almost inevitable any where you go there is going to be a few hanging around. Would be interesting to learn the history of the property your house is on or of your house. Find out who it might be and what happened to them.

OMG, that would freak me out so badly!!!

Ooooo, creeepy! I never had an experience and hope I never will. IDK what I'd do - probably something like freeze and pee on myself! I totally believe in ghosts and that they're all over the place - I don't need to see them to believe. OK guys...really - I know you're there! No need to prove yourselves!

I sometimes feel like someone is watching me after I get into bed and turn out the lights. It's a freaky feeling! Our house was built in '86 and I've heard this whole subdivision was built on a swamp. Maybe our house is built on top of a dead body....oooooohhhh....

I had a ghost who watched over me when I was an infant. We lived in an apartment in the Bronx (near the EL train and in the flight path of JFK, lol) and my nursey was in one of the bedrooms. My mom would rock me to sleep in a rocking chair, and then put the chair up against the wall when she tucked me in and left. Many mornings she would come in and the chair was pulled away from the wall and rocking next to my crib (and it wasn't my Dad because my mom is a super light sleeper and would've known if he left the bed).

Also, if the window was open or closed when mom left, and the room got hot or cold, the window would be taken care of (Ie if it was open when mom left and the room got cold overnight, in the morning the window would be closed, and vice versa).

I kinda like that I had someone watching over me when I was so little

Hubby's grandmother used to "haunt" us for the longest time. I was convinced she was watching my kids.

These are hard to share because I don't believe in this stuff!!!!

Her first visit was moments after we got the call that she passed. DS was 2 years old and her only great grand child. I went in to check on him. He's a very sound sleeper and NOTHING would ever wake him up. He had already been in bed for two hours. When I walked into his room his lights were on. He was sitting in the center of the bed staring into the corner with a big smile on his face. I said, "Alex, what are you doing?" He replied with "Goodbye gramma." He then laid down and was asleep in moments. It was the weirdest thing.

The next one was with my DD whom Great Grandma never met. One afternoon I had laid Annika on my bed for a nap. She must have been about 2 months. Much too young to be rolling over. I set some pillows around her and ran downstairs to check something. A few minutes later I heard a big THUMP and just knew Annika had fallen off the bed, but I didn't hear her cry. As I was running up the stairs I saw a vision (I swear I'm not a freak). I saw hands picking her up and putting her down safely. I finally got to my room and Annika was sound asleep on the floor next to the cradle. There is NO way she could have fallen there.

The cradle has been in my DH's family since before his dad was born. His grandma (the one that haunts us) used it with all 11 of her kids. It was a really big deal that we use it for our kids. Since we've moved and I've returned the cradle back to my MIL we haven't had any visits from Grandma.

I never felt threatened by her, just that she was watching my kiddos. It's a totally weird feeling and again, I don't believe in this crap!!!

My grandma passed only a month before my oldest was born. I was still in school, so my cousin watched him. Mind you, I did not see this, but my cousin is on my dad's side of the family and my grandma, my mom's. (My cousin had never seen my grandma as the divorce was very early in my life!)

Anyway - long story - another time. I got home from school and my cousin pulled me aside. She asked me if my grandma had dark brown but salt and peppery hair -- I said yes. Glasses? Yes. Short hair? Short in height? Yes. Yes.

She said that when she walked into the kitchen (where Lane was in the swing) from the living room - she saw my grandma standing next to him. She was smiling down at him.

So even though I'm not a firm believer in ghosts - I am in guardian angels - and I know that she was just checking in on him!

Eeeek!! How scary! I would have flipped out!

spooky! one of my h.s. friends had a ghost in her house for sure. i honestly don't know if i truely believe in the other side in that way. i believe that when we pass our bodies go to definate places according to the way you lived your life for Jesus (i believe what the bible says on that subject), but it really seemed like she did. her closet doors would always slam for no reason...like slam and then her two dogs would come into the room start to sniff and then bark at the closet doors...really weird!
