When I was about 2 yrs old - about 36 yrs ago - my parents bought an old
farmhouse in Virginia. Growing up there I always shared a room with my
grandmother. Most of my memories of growing up on the farm were fantastic
and I wouldn't change my experiences for anything. Well, maybe except for
my encounters with the farm's
resident ghost.
I really don't have many really vivid memories of these encounters as most
of them occurred at night while I was supposed to be sleeping. My grandmother
would tell me about them the next morning at the breakfast table. A few,
however, are extremely vivid.
One evening, shortly after getting into bed, I was looking into the blackness
of the room. Suddenly, I saw these two bulls eyes staring back at me. I blinked
my eyes several times thinking that I was just imagining them or that they
would disappear. They didn't. I started to scream as loud as I could (I was
around 10 years old at that time). My grandmother woke up to see what in
the world was going on. The bull's eyes
disappeared. Later that same evening, I heard a tapping on the back window
or the room. We were on the second story and that window had no roof or ledge.
There was not tree there nor was there anyway anyone could be right out there
at that window.
Unless of course you were a ghost. I walked over to the window and I was
the face of a
pale, sort of transparent, man. He was wearing a derby hat. His hand was
up by his face like he was saying "hi" and he was wavering back and forth
in a sort of counter clock wise motion. Again my grandmother awoke and again
the ghost disappeared.
Other instances occurred. Nothing really came of it. No one really talked
about it until
later as adults. My sister who is 10 years older than me and I were talking
just a few years ago about growing up on the farm. She began to tell me about
a few experiences that she had on the farm with ghosts and such. I told her
about mine. We were just amazed. Then for the real clincher. Apparently,
our parents neglected to tell us, until now, that there had been an incident
with a couple who first owned the farm when it was first built. The man,
who originally owned the farm, killed his wife with an axe by the attic.
There was a big gash in the attic door. No matter how many coats of paint
my parents put on it it was always there. As kids we never knew what it was.
After the man killed his wife he went down to the barn and hung himself.
Well, at least I now know why I was seeing the things I saw and experiencing
the things I experienced. Luckily this ghost didn't do us any harm. We never
felt threatened, only frightened and confused. Thanks for listening, Farm
girl.

I live in the East End of Glasgow, Scotland. I am 26 years old and consider
myself a skeptic regarding ghosts and goblins.
I recently purchased a flat from my sister. The flat is about 50 or 60 years
old. I moved in and settled in no time at all. The flat has 2 bedrooms. One
where I sleep and another where over night guests sleep. One friend who stays
over more regular than most is my buddy Martin, and when Martin sleeps, he
sleeps like the dead. It is practically impossible to wake him up. It usually
takes me about 10 minutes to wake him.
Anyway...............
The guest room is the setting for this tale. When I has just moved in I decided
to decorate the guest room, so there I was for
days.....plastering....painting.....sawing wood....and so on. Every now and
then I would lose something, a hammer or a bag of nails or whatever and when
I found it it was always somewhere strange. I put it down to absent mindedness
and figured that I had moved things without remembering. On the third day
I got this really uncomfortable feeling that I was being watched. I tried
to shrug it off but I couldn't. Eventually it got the better of me and I
left the room. I went back in about 15 minutes later after a coffee to calm
me down a bit. The same thing happened again.
Eventually I got the room decorated and Martin started crashing at the flat
whenever he was at college the next day.
I had never told anyone about my spooky feeling.
One morning I heard Martin yell and I ran into his room. When I asked what
was wrong, he told me that someone has just touched his nose. This struck
me as unusual because it usually takes more than that to wake Martin up.
I have hit him in the face with a wet sponge and he hasn't even stirred so
someone touching his nose wouldn't even disturb him a little. Normally. Needless
to say he didn't sleep for the rest of the night.
About a week later I was asleep in my room and I was awoken by a coughing
coming from the guest room. I got out of bed and went to get Martin, who
was staying, a glass of water. As I opened my room door, the coughing stopped
suddenly. I still went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and Martin
was sitting in the front room, watching tv. He hadn't heard anyone cough.
When I mentioned this to my sister she informed me that my 3 year old nephew
used to tell her that he had been talking to an old woman in his bedroom.
His old bedroom is now my guest room.
To this day, things go missing from that room, things appear in that room,
noises come from that room and I always feel, now, that I am being
watched..............

This didn't happen to me, it happened to my friend Jordan. He was in a chat
room, and this one girl really stood out he said, they really started chatting,
and frequently mailed and chatted, eventually, she asked my friend to meet
him, she said to meet him at an old building, of course, my friend wanted
to go, and he did, he went into the building a few days later, and got into
the old lift, the building was 'weird' , the lift stopped, and a man in a
black cloak got in, at this point my friend was freaked out! the lift carried
on for about another 15 seconds, when it stopped, my friend wanted to scream,
he banged on the doors, shouting things like 'Anyone there' and 'Help' after
a while, he heard the man in the cloak say 'I DON'T LIKE IT IN HERE' My friend
was puzzled, he said it so calmly, he said, my friend turned, 'i know.....'
the man was gone, just VANISHED! after a bit more time, the lift begun to
move again, my friend was SO scared by now, when he got to the top, the women
was there, 'what happened?' she said, my friends face was white with fear!
'A man vanished from the lift!'
'nonsense!' they forgot about it for then, and had some fun, after he went,
he got home, a few weeks ago me and jordan did some research on the happenings,
and it turned out the man had walked through the lift shafts, and fallen
off, he committed suicide, that's what he meant when he said he did'nt like
it IN THE WORLD
