I have never seen a ghost but I definitely believe in them. Sometimes I think my apartment is haunted!

okay.. sorry i HAD to bump this back up..
when i was 12 my dads friend whom was very close to us passed. at that time my dad was very abusive towards my mom... this night he was gone after a fight between them... me and my friend were getting ready to go to bed so we went thru the house and shut lights and tv down. she made it to my room before me and was facing me as i was coming towards her (down the hallway) she had the look as if she *saw a ghost* i turned around and saw this "hollogram" sp? looking thing about 10 feet behind me. i couldn't make out a face..all i seen was a oval shaped figure with a BRIGHT glow..it lit up the whole area like if a tv was on in a dark room. we quickly shut the door and layed their. i said "we didn't see anything, go to bed lol" something told me not to be scared, that it was my dads friend. the next morning i told my mom what we experienced and she's the type, who doesn't believe or not believe in ghosts.. just hasn't seen anything like that. i reminded me to confide in God when things occur like that... years later we were talking about it..and she had told me how the night that i seen this figure, she had a dream that my dads friend sat on her bed and told her she needed to leave my dad, that he was "going to kill her". weeks later they had their last fight and she was done!! i figure she wouldn't want to see a GHOST and he knew that so made her feel like it was a dream, but i know he was their that night.
and NOW--we've been having crazy things happen in our apt this past month. i've been at my place 2 years and nothing like this has happened..lately i've been going through ALOT of stress and have been picking arguments with my S.O.. i don't know if this is whats bringing on "bad things/energy" but i'm sure it does..
we were in the room about a month ago and heard a boOm from the living room, our corner shelf had came off the wall.. i figured maybe our neighbors (apts) had hit the wall and made it fell??..so we ignored it
next we were in the room again.. and i heard a noise like a picture came off 1 nail and was kinda gliding back and forth (hanging by 1 nail) and i was right when i looked in the living room. i went to put it back on the nail, but thought to let that side drop again to hear the sound.. and it was a light noise and only glided 1-2 times... what i heard was like someone had their hand on it and was pushing it hard to make that noise. just "falling" off 1 nail wouldnt of been that loud... so then i got a lil weirded out, but ignored it.
next time (few weeks ago) we were sleeping and the bedroom door SLAMMED shut..my S.O jumped up and said "WTF!?!?" and searched all crazy thru the house, nothing... and the a/c wasnt on and no windows were open ( i checked ).. i asked him the next morning what he thought about that and he doesn't remember!! so i felt like i was going crazy lol but then again he WAS ina deep sleep so i accept that he doesn't remember... this had me thinking...
3 nights ago we were in the room AGAIN.. he was asleep and i was on specktra lol.. and i heard a plate hit the ground LOUD like it was thrown.. he gets up and there's a busted plate in the MIDDLE of the kitchen... it was on the table before then. this time i was like OK no more excuses..somethings here.. we are both Christians and said aloud "YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED HERE..TIME TO LEAVE" and i said my prayers.. asked the Lord to keep up protected..fell asleep fine.
2 nights ago (next night) had company over all watching a movie and we heard something fall HARD..had to of been from the bathroom or room, but we never found anything on the ground.
luckily i haven't seen anything here. im just HEARING loud noises.. i'm wondering if it's because i've been so loud yelling and complaining????
it's getting me to calm down a lil' bit i must say.. lol we'll see if this stops as i get "right"

Some friends of mine were demolishing a house in order to rebuild on their property. They were recording the whole event by pictures.
The day of the demo, the crew cleared the house and grounds before they began tearing the house down. They then took one last picture of the house.
Later they were looking at that last picture taken before the demo and it seemed normal. Then one day, she went to open the photo on the computer and it opened up expanded to like 300%. She saw something in the window. When she zoomed in, she saw a man and a woman in faint grayscale.
When I heard about it I thought she was exagerating. Ummm...then I saw the pic. Dude. You can see the man and the woman. You see him more clearly. You can see his glasses, beard and suit. Freaked me out.
These aren't the kind of people to make stuff up either. She wouldn't even send me the photo via email, because she was worried other people might see it and think she was crazy.

I've had things happen to me before.
I think I was 8 or 9, pretty young. Me and my sister had just gotten a poster of one of those Sanrio characters. It was the My Melody character, which to my knowledge, isn't around Sanrio stores anymore. I think...
So me and my sister brought the poster home. And we put it up on the door.
Cool.
But I was in the room later by myself, reading. And I head noises coming from the door that the poster was on. This was a door that leads to the outdoor laundry room. But these weren't like, creaking or unlocking or slamming shut sounds. It sounded like wood burning, a strange crackling and popping sound. Call me crazy, but I thought it was because of the poster. There WAS no fire, no wind that day, nothing to move that door.
I brought my sister in there. But when she was with me, there was no sounds. So I told her, maybe she had to be in there by herself. And she was 2 years older, so she didn't believe me, but for my peace of mind, agreed to stay in the room for a few minutes.
I went outside, and I didn't hear anything.
But my sister comes out, FREAKED OUT. Because she heard the exact same noises coming from the door.
So we tore down the poster. We wanted to burn it, but we couldn't, so instead, we immersed it in water and turned it into pulp and threw it away. On our door, we put up drawings of four-leaf clovers, horseshoes.. you know, good luck symbols. (We were kids, give us a break. XD)
And after that, I have never heard a sound from that door again, other than caused by the wind.
Now this next story happened to my cousin in Taiwan.
When he was younger, he worked as a security guard in a basement somewhere, always working the night shift. He always had a friend with him. The same friend.
There was a shower in that basement. And everyday at midnight, the light would turn on and so would the shower and it would sound like someone was taking a shower. As a dare, my cousin's friend, one night, switched the light off when the light went on and so did the shower.
The next day. My cousin's friend went psycho. He literally went crazy, he would get up at night and start choking people in their sleep. It was SO freaky. He had to be committed.
My cousin also suffered a little. He didn't go crazy, but he had HORRIBLE nightmares and sometimes would feel like someone was strangling him in his sleep, but when he woke up, there was no one there.
My cousin recovered, but his friend never did. I think that's because my cousin wasn't the one who angered that spirit who took showers literally, but he happened to be there.
This one happened to my Dad.
When my dad was in Taiwan, he was serving in the military.
His grandma, who he loved dearly, passed away while he was in the army.
The army would not let him attend the funeral.
So my dad threw a bitch-fit and destroyed a bunch of stuff so they let him go finally.
When he returned home.
His family was like.. "Oh my god, the footsteps stopped."
My dad was like, "What footsteps?"
Basically, they told him that the day his grandma died, up to the night my dad came home, they heard her footsteps walking around. They weren't bothered by it because they knew it was her footsteps, they knew it was her walking around. Apparently, she couldn't rest easy yet until my dad had come home. She had been looking for him. Once he got home, she could finally rest in peace.
What a sweet grandmother.
This one happened to my sister's friend.
She was alone in her apartment on a Friday night. It was night.
So to kill time, she had been playing the piano really loud.
Then she shut the piano, turned out the lights and went to listen to some music really loudly.
She went back outside to get a drink of water, and when she turned on the lights. The piano was open. She knew she had closed it.
She was so scared she called my sister and was crying. She had wanted my sister to come over and spend the night with her.

I've never had any experience with seeing ghosts before but I know that some of my family members and my old manager has experienced seeing ghosts and paranormal events.
My aunt told me this story about my father. When my father used to stay at his old apartment like way before he met my mother he would experience weird things. There was the one time where it really freaked him out. It was during the night and he was sleeping. Then out of nowhere his bed started to levitate and then he woke up. After that the bed fell back down onto the floor which really disturbed my father.
When my cousin was young he told me that he would see ghosts at his old house most of the time. There was this one time where he used the bathroom at his house and then out of nowhere he saw a ghost. He said that the ghost was laughing at him and then my cousin had to rush out of the bathroom. There was a time when his brother saw someone crossing the street to his mom but she said that there was no one there.
When I used to work at my old job, we had a basement where we would keep the designer shoes. My manager told me that the workplace used to be a old hospital during the 50's and where the basement was, it used to be a morgue. He was usually the one who had the experience with the ghosts. He said that when he did a overnight shift at the store he was alone with one of the other managers in the office. Out of nowhere he heard footsteps and saw a shadow like walk by. Then he stepped out to look and then the doors were all wide open which is usually closed at night. There was also another time where we were about to leave since we closed. The music in the store starts to play again from out of nowhere when my manager already turned the radio off that was in the office. His face turned white and he had to have one of us go downstairs to the office with him so he could turn it off again. He said he also saw a headless ghost running next to his car when he was driving on the freeway to work.

I watched that one. I liked it. I am always fascinated by those things.
I have had 2 experiences in the condo I lived with my ex in.
When I was sitting on the couch one evening, I saw a reflection of a person walking from my bedroom towards the hallway.
But no one was home. I was so scared to move after that!
The second one was really odd.
I have this HUGE stuffed animal octopus. It's really big.
And I was in one room and when I went to walk into the kitchen, It was sitting at the edge of the hallway. And it wasn't there seconds before.
I thought maybe my ex was playing a prank, so I looked around for him and he wasn't there. I freaked and called his job, he was at work.

Sorry to bump this back up but this just reminded me of a few stories. I've heard a few people say they've experienced paranormal things.
Once my friend was outside looking up at the sky, her 18 yr old cousin had passed away and they had named a star after him. Whilst she was looking up at the stars, thinking about him, the outside light globe twisted and fell from the roof. (that would have freaked me out).
Also about the same guy, his family have a whiteboard on there fridge and one morning they realised there was a M within a box drawn on the board. This was his own little signature.
I don't really know what I think about ghosts, i prefer to just be in denial lol. Though I have felt haunted, I was living in a place in melbourne and every night I would feel watched or hear strange noices.
Also when I was 11 years old, I was on school camp and we were playing this hide and seek kind of game at night. I ran a little too far away from the camp and was hiding between some shrubs and trees.There seemed to be a boy near me though in a tree, wearing a red cap and a yellow t-shirt. I spoke to him but I had to move or I was gunna get found. My memory is pretty fuzzy but I'm pretty sure I saw him twice in different trees. Oddly enough none of my fellow campers fitted that description and I couldn't see his face. At the time I though he was a real person.
Also at the same place, when ever I touched the handles in the shower I'd get zapped and when I went to bed that night I had this weird sensation when I closed my eyes. Every time I did I seriously thought I was back in the shower, it was the most odd experience.

I’ve personally never experienced anything but I’ve had some friends that have shared their experiences with me.
One friend of the family has had many experiences and shared a few with me. They used to live in a house where the previous owner had died; near the top of the stairs and so they would hear footsteps and occasionally see his shadow. She said one time her grandson who was probably about 4 or 5 at the time started crying and so they went to check on him and he was standing near the top of the stairs but backed against the wall crying and afraid to move as if something was in front of him. They lived there for like 10 years and then bought a brand new house in Salinas. Well something had followed them because she said that one time she was in her room getting ready and heard someone call her name…it spooked her but she brushed it off. Then her daughter said that one time she was sitting on her bed doing homework with her door open and could swear that from the corner of her eye she saw someone walk by and look in…. so she finished her work and went to her sister’s room to see what she wanted assuming it was her but it wasn’t (they were the only ones home at the time). She was a little freaked out but brushed it off.
Then another time our friend and her husband were up late one night like on a Friday or Saturday waiting for the son to come from work. They were lying in bed and heard the lock on the front door turn, the door open and close; so they went down to greet him but he hadn’t come home yet. They did a walk through the housing thinking that perhaps someone broke into the house but nothing. They ended up moving back to the bay area because the commute was too much for them. When they had moved back they had rented a house for a little while that turned out to be haunted but more than the one they had lived in for 10 years before. She told me another co-worker about the strange things that started happening in the house like how she would always find the bottom drawer of her jewelry box open and sometimes the jewelry was taken of it. They would hear footsteps and once her youngest who was about 12 or 13 at the time was home along sitting in her room when all of a sudden she heard the faucet in the kitchen turn on. So she went to investigate and when she was standing in front of the kitchen sink all of a sudden she heard really loud footsteps behind her that freaked her out. She didn’t want to turn around to see if anyone was there and took off crying and screaming out of the house. She didn’t want to be alone in the house anymore after that. Then she said one time the doors to all the rooms bathrooms included were all open when they woke up one morning. Another time before Christmas they woke up to find their artificial tree dismantled. Her son who was probably like 18 or 19 at the time was home alone quite a bit during the morning and early afternoon because he had surgery on his leg to remove a tumor and would hear noises all the time but would just lie in bed with the covers over himself. Another time one of her daughters saw someone standing outside her window but her father didn’t find anyone outside. They finally bought a home and moved out and so far nothing has happened ever since then.
Where I work currently a woman that used to work here committed suicide (not here at work) and her co-workers said that when they worked late they would hear papers rustling, the filing cabinet open and typing on the keyboard from her cubicle. I now work diagonally across from this cube and have been here as late as midnight by myself before but haven’t heard anything…thankfully too because I probably would have crapped and pissed my pants.
My father has a few stories too. Like when they first moved to CA from AZ they lived with an Aunt in her basement and would hear footsteps or glass breaking when no one was one. Also his dad worked nights and at that time the driveway was gravel and it was long. Well one night they were waiting up for him and saw lights from the little basement window and heard the tires on the gravel come up the driveway but when they ran out to greet him there was no one or nothing there.
Okay…I’m tired of typing now and will maybe share more stories later.

They were lying in bed and heard the lock on the front door turn, the door open and close; so they went down to greet him but he hadn’t come home yet. They did a walk through the housing thinking that perhaps someone broke into the house but nothing. They ended up moving back to the bay area because the commute was too much for them. When they had moved back they had rented a house for a little while that turned out to be haunted but more than the one they had lived in for 10 years before. She told me another co-worker about the strange things that started happening in the house like how she would always find the bottom drawer of her jewelry box open and sometimes the jewelry was taken of it. They would hear footsteps and once her youngest who was about 12 or 13 at the time was home along sitting in her room when all of a sudden she heard the faucet in the kitchen turn on. So she went to investigate and when she was standing in front of the kitchen sink all of a sudden she heard really loud footsteps behind her that freaked her out. She didn’t want to turn around to see if anyone was there and took off crying and screaming out of the house. She didn’t want to be alone in the house anymore after that. Then she said one time the doors to all the rooms bathrooms included were all open when they woke up one morning. Another time before Christmas they woke up to find their artificial tree dismantled. Her son who was probably like 18 or 19 at the time was home alone quite a bit during the morning and early afternoon because he had surgery on his leg to remove a tumor and would hear noises all the time but would just lie in bed with the covers over himself. Another time one of her daughters saw someone standing outside her window but her father didn’t find anyone outside. They finally bought a home and moved out and so far nothing has happened ever since then.
Where I work currently a woman that used to work here committed suicide (not here at work) and her co-workers said that when they worked late they would hear papers rustling, the filing cabinet open and typing on the keyboard from her cubicle. I now work diagonally across from this cube and have been here as late as midnight by myself before but haven’t heard anything…thankfully too because I probably would have crapped and pissed my pants.
My father has a few stories too. Like when they first moved to CA from AZ they lived with an Aunt in her basement and would hear footsteps or glass breaking when no one was one. Also his dad worked nights and at that time the driveway was gravel and it was long. Well one night they were waiting up for him and saw lights from the little basement window and heard the tires on the gravel come up the driveway but when they ran out to greet him there was no one or nothing there.
Okay…I’m tired of typing now and will maybe share more stories later.
