This forum has been quiet for a while.

I just found this and thought I'd share it.

English Heritage reveals most haunted sites - Telegraph

For me the biggest issue surrounding this whole issue is trying to separate the hocus pocus from genuine sightings, if that is at all possible and makes a great assumption that these things exist.

I believe they do but for every one genuine story there's far far more hoaxes, or situations that can be explained by rational means.

I can think of two people whom I trust totally that have had first hand experiences of sightings and maybe I'll share one day.

So, up to you how you respond to this thread if you so wish.

A very interesting article.

I do believe in ghosts/spirits/apparations - call them what you will. I have had several personal experiences. My OH is very sceptical.

I love ghosts and all that stuff Never actually seen or had any experience with them but hopefully one day I will.

They say that if you're looking you wont find one!

I'd like to, providing its a friendly one.

I visit a haunted site most days but I'm still waiting.

I live near Warwick Castle where obviously a lot of people were killed, but with all the tourists I doubt I'd see anything there

TeeHee!

As I said I just hope they are friendly ones.

I know someone who lives in a place that is reputedly haunted. She is fine there but her predecessor stayed only a week and couldn't stand it there.

one house i lived in---i saw an old man walking along the landing toward one of the bedrooms---another time he was standing by my bedroom door telling me to get up.

no one else ever saw him except me. my dog wouldn't go into the bedroom into which the man walked.

it was not scary though. meh!!!

I've got an open mind regarding ghosts, i.e., I neither believe or disbelieve. I've never seen a ghost but I had an unexplained experience just after my granny died many years ago. Think I was aged 14 at the time. I was in bed awake and I felt this hand stroking my forehead. There was no one in the room but me but I had this overwhelming feeling of not to be scared. I wasn't and was convinced it was my granny saying goodbye.

I was working in a house some years ago, it wasn't an old house 1960s I suppose.
I was decorating one of the back bedrooms. I washed out a paint brush, shook it out and wrapped it in kitchen paper to dry and keep it's shape. I put it on the radiator cover.

I then walked downstairs to go to my van and the brush was on the radiator cover by the front door.

The next day I went down to my van again, came back upstairs and my radio which was on top of the window cill was very neatly on the floor exactly in the centre of the room.

Went in earlier the next day, saw the client going to work, stopped said hello.
She asked me if everything was all right, I said yes.
Parked outside her house, put the key in the lock and I could hear many people inside talking. She lived on her own.
I walked in and opened the living room door and it went quiet, just like it had been switched off. The room was absolutely freezing cold.

That was it. Spoke to her when the job was finished and very reluctantly told her what had happened. She said you get used to it.
