I don't believe in ghosts even though I died literally last summer from an accidental gunshot wound but I do get funny feelings at times about stuff sorta like Spiderman if that makes any sense.

There is a reported sixth sense for people who have been very close to death who get to pick up on stuff like moments before it happens, or really good at guessing.  I experience this from time to time, I knew my grandfather, who was in perfect health, was going to die the next day.

My kids were 5 and 6 at the time.  One day, a couple months into renting the house, I was home with the kids and I heard helicopters overhead.  I went outside and looked and there were a couple of them in the air.  My daughter opened the door and said, "our house is on TV".  I went in and sure enough, there was an arial shot of our house on TV.  They were looking for a sexual predator that was under 18 that sexually abused other children.

Turns out that "nursing home" was a half way house for children who have sexually assaulted other children.  It was a place for them to go between juvi or psych and going home.  One of them left the house and they couldn't find him.  Needless to say we didn't buy the house and when I confronted the owner about it, he said, "why the hell do you think I moved out?"  What an asshole.  He tried not to give my my earnest money back until I threatened to sue him.

I know this isn't "super natural" or anything like that but it still was one of the most horrifying incidents of my life.  What a jack ass.

Another story -

I live on a large piece of property, that my relatives before me used to live on. Almost every family member I know, who has lived on this propety, talked about how they heard music. Church songs, and drum solos. My Great Grandmother heard it, my grandfather, my Aunt, everybody heard it at one time or another. And when I was 5 or 6, I remember sitting with my grandfather in my house on that property,and hearing "Amazing Grace" in my head. At the time, I didn't know about the music, so I just shrugged it off as nothing.

But now that I know about everyone hearing it, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the supernaturel.

Perhaps it was my imagination, but to this day I still don't think so. Anyway, at the time it scared the crap out of me.

This is a great thread by the way.

My house here in Texas I believe is haunted too. We've actually channeled spirits (not thru a ouija) on a couple of occasions and once we asked for them to give us a sign of their presence. A plastic skull on our entertainment center came crashing down to the floor, we captured the audio of that session. We've seen dark shapes in the backyard and occasionally you can feel a 'heaviness' in the house (especially certain rooms) and we do a banishing ritual and burn blueberry incense and you can feel a noticeable change in the atmosphere.
I definitely believe in the supernatural but I'm on the fence as to whether they are caused by actual spirits or by psychic imprints/suggestions. As Johnny Carson would say, "weird, wild stuff."

Oh yeah, that was totally freaky, I forgot that.

I'm glad you remembered cos I was starting to think it was in my head! I took a picture on my phone, and I put the letter in my bag and they both vanished! It was so bizarre

Anyways I believe that I live in a haunted house. Well I live in part of it anyways, its divided up into flats. I know that people were killed here about 80 odd years ago as it is part of Irish history. I have never seen anything weird but I do sometimes sense that people are in the room with me when I am all alone. And I have also heard talking when the place was empty and also sensed, as opposed to felt or heard, someone breathing while I was in bed late one night. They, if they exist, don't seem to be angry or threating and I guess as I haven't annoyed them they haven't annoyed me. I have never seen a ghost, always wanted to even though I know I will just soil myself, but my mom has on a few occassions, the lucky so-and-so .
