Working as a Science Technician in 1977 in a college, I occasionally saw something white through glass doors up the corridor. This happened during the holidays when there was nobody else there.(Not allowed nowadays!) I turned around many times in the lab as something in white stood behind me (not unusual in a lab!) and eventually it spooked me so much that I told my H.O.D who agreed I need never go in that corridor or lab on my own again.

We investigated and found out that … College, UK was built on the site of an old Leper Colony, so assume it was to do with that. I left shortly after and heard that later that year a new influx of students were spooked as well, without knowing anything of my experiences. I’ve no doubt it’s still happening…… ask the present technicians. I’m 54 now and I’ve never forgotten it.

I grew up in a house where I was frequently visited by a white lady. She never spoke but was always watching. I started seeing her around the age of 12 and it continued until I moved out around the age of 18. I have seen her both alone and with others. Family members have seen her as well. To this day- I wouldn’t stay in that house alone. She never spoke and I never had a sense as to what she wanted only that she ‘watched.’ We have seen her both inside the house and outside in the back yard. I am convinced that she may have been murdered on the property due to another ghostly experience in the same home.

I was 37 I was sitting at my computer when I had a feeling some one was watching me. I turned around to see a girl in the door way staring at me. I can still remember what she looked like today she was pale with the most beautiful blue eyes you had ever seen. She floated about a foot off the floor and she wore a white flowing dress. When she saw I was looking at her she took off down my hall I went to look for her but could not find her. This was the first of many after that.

I was sitting on a couch and my friend was on the computer and we both saw a ghost sitting next to me on webcam but could only see her clothes but not her face.

First experience of ghosts (actually, there were three in the same place) in a village called …. Scotland. It is ….. a converted home made from two fishermen’s houses, hundreds of years old. There are often lodgers, who never stayed long, as they all experienced the ghosts.

The one upstairs moved things (I witnessed all the windows banging shut at exactly the same time as music and lights went off…although they still worked elsewhere in the house and village). I could not get out of the room, so I talked to him (I felt it was a large man named Callum). I found it very puzzling and did not understand.

The one downstairs was frightening, although seldom seen, just a black shadow to me. I felt as if I could not breathe, a great pressure on my chest and a horrendous headache causing some of the worst pain I have ever known. I felt that this was a woman, but a very bad one. The cat (the only visible one which was very clear) would dissintegrate in front of me, and other people, or materialise, as if from tiny little balls, like specks of dust. It could go anywhere in the house. This was the first, although unfortunately, not the last time that I experienced ghosts.

my father is a nurse that worked at a nursing home at the time. i was 10.

i would sometimes go to work with him because i disliked staying home alone. i would sleep in the physical therapy room. we were very poor at the time. i awoke in the middle of the night, for no reason. when i sat up, i saw ahead of me 3 “people”. at first i was angry, and confused for i had locked the door so keep any patients with dementia from entering the room while i was asleep.

i wondered who was not doing thier job and thought that perhaps i had left the door ajar. i said “get outta here” to these people who were turned away from me facing the wall. after i said this, they turned toward me. i believe it was 2 men and a woman, all three were old. when they turned toward me i realized that i could see through their torsos. they looked at me. i looked at them. i wasn’t frightened. i was more excited! i thought “wow, i’m seeing ghosts!” i said “oh.” they turned away from me, and i went back to sleep.

Here goes….I for some reason awoke in the middle of the night and noticed my husband (who by the way is still a sceptic) wake up, open his eyes, lift his head, look beyond me and clearly got a fright. The next morning I asked him what happened. He said that he saw the face of a blonde woman above me and then it just faded.

A week after that I was again asleep and thought my daughter (age had come into our room which was not uncommon. Prior to opening my eyes I said not again! Well when I opened my eyes I got a huge fright to discover that it wasn’t her at all but a girl with a veil draped on her head (not covering her face) The face was not clear but I knew that it was expressionless I couldn’t say if she was blonde or otherwise. I gasped as I sat up against my husband. by the time he awoke she seemed to vanish before my eyes.

A few days after this I again awoke in the middle of the night to see my husband squinting and trying to focus behind me. I said “she’s here isn’t she?” He patted me and told me to go back to sleep. The next morning he said that this time he saw a blonde girl, probably late teens, floating in the corner of the room. And followed it up with that it was probably just his imagination.

The next day I spoke to my elderly neighbour’s daughter and asked her if anything had happened in our home prior to us demolishing and rebuilding where we have been living for nearly 8 years. She said not at all – only that the previous owner of the old house was a man in his 90’s who died in there of natural causes and wasn’t found for a couple of days. She asked why I was asking and so told her of what we experienced. She said “Funny you should say that because Mum (Our neighbour who is 87) awoke and saw a blonde woman standing at the end of her bed and thought it was me (the daughter)

Apparently she signalled her with her hand to go back to sleep” I then went and spoke to my neighbour who by the way, is very alert, and was told that what she saw was so real that she got up and checked the house. The only thing that happened in the area that was different was that a building owned by a business on the corner of our street was being cleaned out. Bob Cats etc. – part of the building was demolished.

What makes this even scarier is that all the neighbours are objecting to the new business starting up as this is s residential area. So yesterday my husband was speaking to a neighbour down the street about the objection. The neighbour then told my husband that apparently in the clean up they found human remains – bones of a person that have been there for years. My husband didn’t make the connection and didn’t ask any more questions. When I get the opportunity to speak to this neighbour of how she found out and if it was a female I will let you know. My thoughts are that when her bones were uncovered her spirit was disturbed.

1187. GHOST SIGHTINGS, CLAIRAUDIENCE

…: I was 20 years old, sleeping in my bed. I shared my room with two others who slept through this experience. I woke up with someone standing over me. Immediately I sat up and I said “…”, my tall friend to whom I’d last spoken before bed.

As I sat up staring into a dark shadow, I slowly became more lucid, realizing this was not … As this shadow dissolved, I became aware of one apparition standing in the corner, then my attention was brought to a young girl in a dress, perhaps 5 y/o, running through my bedroom door. As I followed her with my eyes, she ran toward the first ghost I saw in the corner, who had since been joined by a third ghost.

All three stood with their backs toward me, with the little girl between the two adult females. I looked at the digital clock next to my head – it was 4:00. I had settled back into my bed, still up on one elbow, staring and shaking and sweating. I remember wondering what I was watching and why I had been woken up, but afraid to attract attention and see their faces, which for some reason I was afraid to see. I pinched myself so many times I lost track. They were talking to each other.

I could clearly hear them whispering, but was unable to make out any distinct words. They seemed distressed, and I got the sense they were a bit worried that I was watching. I kept my eye on the clock until it was 4:45. They were still here. I switched on a lamp next to my bed and poof – not hide nor hair of the trio. I turned the light off, and never saw them again. I am certain this was not a lucid dream. In total there were four entities. The one who woke me up was a Shadow person, but the other three were normal ghosts (is there such a thing?). This was also the first of two times I saw a shadow person. In neither case was I afraid of it. In fact the second time, I sensed it was deeply concerned for me.
