Mine, so far, is what happened last evening out at my local cemetary that I've been telling about. We decided to just go without dousing rods, and just hold a seyaunce instead of the whole full-blown investigation. Our video and digital cameras' batteries suddenly went dead and we couldn't get any sound, pictures, or videos at all. The candle we had in front of us was smashed off a wall around a stone monument we were sitting near. Long story short, we were terrifyed and all ran like heck out of there! I think I'd rather leave any future investigations of that place up to some professionals, because last night was just way too much for me to handle even with 5 other people there with me.

Hey, I have lots of experiences all the time where I live, but I also have a favorite. I don't really count it as scary, but a bit funny .I was sitting in a reserved area at a pizzeria and brewery called Barley's in downtown Asheville while my mom was working there, and all of the sudden, coffee mugs and spoons flying off shelves behind me. I was so startled, I almost dropped my food!

I have an even funnier one, I didn't actually experience it but my aunt did. She was staying in one of those "haunted hotels" a few years ago. One of the ghosts of that hotel is supposed to love women and love flirting with the, too. My aunt was being told this by the woman at the front desk in the lobby, and just as she was saying about how ridiculous it sounded and how she totally didn't believe in that stuff, "some one" pinched her butt! She could of wet her pants from fright!

I don't know if I'd call this my "favorite" haunting, but its probably the most memrobable . . .

Back in 1995 I was sitting in my living room with my older son, who was a baby back then. I was rocking him to sleep while watching "Tuesday Night Boxing" on ESPN while waiting for my wife to get home from work. Sometime during one of the boxing matches I got this intense sense of something in our living room staring at me. It was giving off a VERY bad vibe, like it wanted me and my son dead. I grabbed my bible off the entertainment center and sat right in front of this presence and put my son in my lap while I read the scriptures as fast and as loud as I could. My son woke up but didn't cry or scream or anything, he just sat there wide-eyed looking around the room. Finally after what felt like about 15 minutes or so passed it felt like the evil presence had departed. I called my bishop the next morning and told him what happened and he sent out a member of the priesthood to bless and dedicate the house.

He (the preisthood member) said from what I described about the encounter that there had been a demon in our house and that I had reacted properly and that I was truly brave to face it down. I told him I wasn't trying to be a hero or anything, I was just trying to keep my son from harm.

Amazing Boss, Kudos to you on your fast thinking. How did you know what to do? Instinct or have you experienced that before? Most people whould just get out of the house. I know I would have.

My favorite haunting experience would have to be my first ghost hunting trip to the Mansfield Reformatory. It was amazing!

Mine didn't happen to me but to my oldest son and husband.
My husband was trying to get our son to take a nap and he was pitching a huge fit. He would scream and thrash around just so my husband would give up and let him play. Then he just stopped and looked at the top of the closet (which had nothing in it, I had emptied it to rearange stuff) and looked at his Daddy and asked who that was pointing to the closet. There was nothing there, soon my son just smiled and rolled over and fell asleep.
Another time my son was laying with me in bed (nightmares kept him running in our room) and he wispered and said there was a bad man behind me, he was so scared that it freaked me out. I rolled over and saw nothing and asked if he was still there and my son just nodded yes. We flipped the Tv on and prayed that the "bad man" would go away, which he did. No one other than my husband believed us since he went through something similar with our son. We moved 3 years later, the house ws actually peaceful for the most part.

I'n not sure if it was instinct or not, but I remember thinking, "What are you doing in my house?! I'm not going to let you run me out of my own house and you're certanly NOT going to harm my son!"

I guess my "paladin" side came out that night. I use the term paladin, because I have a close friend who's really into the psychic stuff tell me that's one of my traits. She said I'm always looking for a crusade to fight for. She thinks that's why I chose law enforcement as a career.

Anyway, I was just trying to keep that demon, or whatever it was, away from my son.

My favorite ghostly encounter was actually pretty run of the mill. I was spending the night at a girlfriends house when i awoke just before dawn. I looked at her lying next to me and then at the clock but as i turned again to face her i saw at the foot of the bed A MAN IN A TOP HAT WITH A BLOODY MEATHOOK!

Okay i didn't but i did see a lovely woman with long dark redhair looking down at me with the saddest expression on her face and a longing in her eyes and no body from the chest down except a vague outline of a green sundress. I at once wanted to ask her who she was but she turned and vanished away.

Yeah there i was in bed naked with a woman i could pretty much see through from the chest down staring at me. I though about it and then fell back asleep.

The next day my girlfriend and i went out to eat. We talked politics and art and then as it got quiet i told her that her house was haunted. She looked at me in shock and i was thinking that she must think i'm crazy.

However she asked me how i knew and i told her what i saw. She then told me about strange things happening in her home she knew could only be ghostly (stuff moving, door knobs turning) and hearing voices. She also said that i was the first person to actually see the ghost.

I never found out who the ghost was and i can't remember where the house is anymore but i'll always remember the look on that ghosts' sad face.

Mine is when I was with a friend at my house. I was 10 and my friend was also. I didn't know then I could sense the presence of a spirit. I usually wake up when they're near.

Anyway we were sleeping and I had just been woken up. I looked at the foot of the bed and then the door. At the door was a blue mist in the shape of a person. I woke my friend and he was barley able to glimpse it. The figure disappeared and I haven't seen it since.

I've had numerous of them and don't have a favorite, so I have to say they're all my favorite.
I worked in a haunted daycare for 11 years and the retail store I work in has a ghosty there. My sister lived in a few haunted locations and I was lucky enough to house sit for her a few times.
I used to house sit for a friend who is a clairvoyant and a ghost hunter. Her house was haunted and boy did it let me know that they were there!

When I was young, I couldn't look at a cemetery at night without intense spine tingle fear that would almost take my breath away. I
I had a terrifying moment walking by a cemetery when I was in my early 20s. I forgot to look away. As I looked at the headstones, I saw spirits begin to rise. I screamed, and they went away. Ever since then, I have no problem looking at cemeteries any time of the day. Did I scare them? Or did they realize what a wimp I am?

When I was growing up the house I lived in was absolutely haunted. I saw and heard many things. My brother's cd player would start playing by itself, doors would be open when I walked by and then closed when I returned. Two things really stand out though, once when I was maybe 12, I had just gotten out of the shower and the room was full of steam (I like scalding hot showers) and I was standing in front of the mirror drying off my face when a man said "Hey" in my right ear. I jumped so quick and looked around, the door was still closed no one was around. The other incident happened when my mother and I had just come home from buying groceries. We had a very large kitchen with an island running down the middle and she was on one side and I was on the other, we were the only two home. I was unloading groceries and she was putting something in the freezer when again a man's voice said "Brenda" (my mom's name) very loudly. We both looked at each other and said "did you hear that?" We left the house in a hurry and drove to a friend's home until my brother got home. No one had been in the house... the house is very old built in the mid 1800s. I had very many strange feelings over the years, of being watched or just creeped out.

So my cousin told me this haunting stories.

In dublin Ireland my cousin was stayin in a house with the rest of the band to do some recording. The room Rob my cousin was sleeping in was "haunted". Rob couldn't sleep, he felt as if he was being watched 24/7. All night he would toss and turn with no sleep for the first coupandle months. Then Since our Grampa died a couple years back Rob was very close to him. So Rob had a dream and in the dream our Grampa said" it's ok i'll take care of it." Since then Rob could sleep in this room, without a problem. I personaly think that Grampa wanted to talk to rob what do you think????? I have no explination to this encounter. I'd like to know what it was.

I think one of my favorite was at Tampa Theatre, in Tampa, Florida. I was a new investigator at the time. My EMF meter started to register a spike and I called over the rest of my team. One man was a house inspector and he told me that the spike was due to the unshielded wiring in the theatre. Disappointed, I started to walk away. All of a sudden, I felt an intense heat forming on my shoulder and neck. I knew that something was happening because my EMF meter was going nuts. I called everyone over and equipment started to go out -- honestly, I think that I had a "hand on the shoulder" experience. This wasn't any old wiring! It was a wild experience. It's up on the SPIRITS site if anyone wants to view it -- an older investigation. www.spiritsofstpetersburg.com

I recently got married at an old home in my hometown. It was built in the early 1800's on a huge courtyard. The wedding was outside. My room to get ready in was upstairs and my wedding planner had told me when meeting him their the first time not to be afraid of any noises that you may hear. As we were standing downstairs talking, my planner stopped and told me to listen. When I did, i heard footsteps walking down the hallway upstairs. It was creepy yes, but it didnt freak me out. Apparently it was the maid who had worked there all her life. On my wedding day, I was upstairs by myself, and heard the footsteps again and heard them go down the back stairs into the kitchen area. During the wedding as we were saying our vows, everyone seemed to pause and at that moment you could hear children laughing and playing in the background,almost next to me and my husband then it stopped suddenly. All through the evening when the music would slightly come on, you could hear the children laughing and playing and it seemed like they were right there. It was a good sense to hear them, simply because my family had lost a little one at 14mos. and it makes us feel that she was with us on that day. I guess we had more guests then what we really intended on having.

this story happend about 2 monthes ago...
me and my friend were playing with a ouija board that we found in the old closet. we asked the spirit many question, all of them in which they answered correctly, i asked the ouija board if my friend was handicapped and sure enough it answered yes. but we weren't satisfied with our cheap thrill. So we decided to take it to an abandoned school nearby my house. We figure there has to be some paranormal activity, afterall a school shooting occurred there. The school was pitch black, about tow thirty in the morning. We went, me and my friend james walked up all three flights of stairs to test out the ouija board, we asked it if the school was haunted by ant spirits, it said yes. Next we asked it if we were welcome, it said leave, leave now. i asked the board if there were any spirits in the room and it said yes. we asked to see a sign of the ghost, the planchette stopped moving...so we started to get nervous, but we left. earlier the next morning, the school was burned down due to a forest fire of some sort. only I and james know what really happend.

mine was at the sorell weed house in savannah, ga.

i was in the housetaking pictures and i was suprised to find an orb in one of them. i took another picture in the exact same spot to see if it was a reflection and the orb wasnt there!I also got 2 other orbs in the house!

My fav ghost experience was feeling a strong, hard knocking on the floor directly under my feet where I was standing. There is a basement under the room I was in, but no one was in the basement.
