Hopefully not too late to start this, but I will begin.

Oh my gosh, I have many, but I will start with one.

I grew up in Louisiana. My mother was a History teacher, and my own family goes back, in America, to 1740. We have a rich tradition in the Southern part of the state, Central too. I have heard so much creepy stuff, seen some things that to this day, creep me out!!

I was in radio for 11 years, one of the stations I worked for was in Natchitoches, Louisiana (Steel Magnolias was filmed there). On Front street, the brick road in downtown in the movie, there are several buildings that are well over 100 years old. The station I worked in, actually it was an AM/FM combo, was upstairs on one of the buildings; KNOC/KDBH. That place was always creepy, I worked alot of nights there. Natchitoches is the oldest settlement in the Louisiana purchase, founded in 1714 - that place, the air is thick, you can feel the history in the air, like many places in the South.
This night I was working until Midnight, as I did many nights back then. The station closed down at midnight. I was always the last person there. I am not a fraidy cat, but every night I felt that place grow cold and creepy, I was almost always a little creeped out, hair standing on my arm, the whole thing.
I had to shut down the station, which meant shutting down the transmitter, turning off all the lights and then making the long walk from the studio to the front door and then down the stairs to the dark brick street.
I shut everything down and started my fast walk to the door, something seriously tugged the sleeve (they were sleveless, so it was the top of where the sleeve would have been by the shoulder) from behind and whispered in my ear - as real as I am here typing this! - "Tim" I friggin ran my ass off down the stairs and didn't stop running until I got into my car.

Here's the thing, I had never been told of any Ghost stories in that building, and I wasn't aware of anything, except that the place was always scary at night.

I remember it today (15 years later) like it happened yesterday.

Anyone else have one?

I have a few more real ghost stories, but I will not tell them until someone else shares...!

I don't know if this counts or not. I used to work as an LPN. I came home from work one night. My neighbor came running over and told me her father (I'll call him Mr. M) had fallen in the bathroom and wasn't breathing. I went with her and did CPR until EMS came. He lived for another hour ot two and then died while in the hospital. A few years later, I moved into this same house. As I was in the bathroom washing my face, I heard Mr. M. say my name out loud - clear as a bell at the same time I felt a whoosh of wind on my face. Needless to say, I moved shortly after!

Whoa, I would say that counts dbaker6, that's interesting - I bet that was quite a fright, eh?

Okay, I am going to bed now, I will post another one of mine tomorrow; Goodnight!

This is SERIOUS...I'm not making this up. I would take a lie detector test if I could...

3 years ago, my aunt Connie died in a car accident. She fell asleep while driving and was thrown from her vehicle. We were VERY close...I was closer to her than my own mother. We even shared clothes.

When she died, I was devestated.

For about 4 months after she died I was in a real depression. I did almost nothing but mope around.

One night, sitting outside, I was watching the sky. It was a very clear night with a ton of stars. I was
"talking" in my head to Connie. I thought, "Connie, if you are here with me, let me know." All of a sudden, I saw an actual "shooting star." I thought, "Hmm...Ok...If that was you, do it again." and it happened again. Seriously. Then I heard her voice say, "I'm ok. Everything is going to be fine."

I don't believe in making this kind of thing up, I swear it is the honest truth.

Oh Jessi That makes me get chill bumps because I have had similar experiences like that. KYSIDE38

LOL Kyside, I remember feeling my stomach in my throat and I froze for about 5 minutes after. I thought maybe I was going crazy. But I don't think so.

Another thing I just thought of.

My great grandfather built a house in Grove City, Ohio. The water came from a well originally, and it would clog like crazy. He would have to go in and unclog it on occasion. After he fell sick and passed away, that well NEVER clogged again. Shocked

Since we are sharing our strange sides. Here is mine, and it may sound crazy but that is ok. It seems every time things are going bad, I just start talking to my dad who passed away suddenly 13 yrs ago. And then things seem to start getting better. It seems like just when I don't think I can get any lower then something good happens to pick me up and I can't explain it. I believe you Jessi, you don't need to take a lie detector. Very Happy

Ok Jessi , I will have to let everyone on here know how crazy I am now. My moms father passed away when she was very young. Anyways when my mom was dying she kept telling me that her dad came to visit her. One morning towards the end I came in to the hospital room and found a dozen yellow roses I ask her where she got them and she replied my dad brought them to me. There was no card. But you know the sticker that comes on the flower shop vase was there I called the flower shop and guess what there was no record of a dozen yellow roses being sold. I truly believe that she saw her father. KYSIDE38

Oh wow. I've got goosebumps.

You guys are really giving me goosebumps! This lady I worked with had a strange experience, which I never forgot. She told me about a year after her mom died, every so often while she was in bed, she would feel a slight breeze and smell her mother's perfume. It would wake her up, and she said she would see a white "haze" is how she described it at the foot of her bed. I asked her if she was afraid. She said no, she took comfort in it, knowing that her mom was there with her.

Okay Ladies, those stories are quite touching, and since my mother passed away 5 years ago, I have not seen or heard from her - although I have listened Sad

So I am going to tell another Ghost story!

I don't have a ghost story, cuz I don't believe in them, but I tell you a cool, freaky story:

Years ago (yeah....YEARS ago) when I was a teenager (I said it was years ago), a bunch of my friend and iI were crusing in the neighborhood. 6 15-16 years old crammed into a Dodge Colt. Think of a Chevy Chevelle, just smaller. Sort of like this:

Anyway, we were so crammed in that the smallest guy was in the hatchback. We were taking a corner, and with all the weight, we just weren't turning. We see us heading right for a tree. At the last second, we turn and miss the tree. We pull over, get out and look over the car - no damage. We head over to the tree and check it out. We can see the tire tracks of the car go right next to the tree. With simple math, we can determine the the car should have scrapped all along the tree, but there wasn't a mark.

We just looked at each other, got back into the car, and slowed down.

Okay, back in Louisiana. I am living on Behan St. one of the oldest in the town. The house, at the time, has been built 125 years prior, by a friend of mine's great Grandfather; it had one of those beautiful big Oaks in the front. Again, this is one of those houses where you can feel the air change. The way it is set up:
2222
2 2
1111 1111111
1 1
1 bedroom...1
1 1
___1111 1111111111111
___1 front rm 1
1111--11111111--111

the straight lines coming from the left, are the front door, the 2's are the bathroom, coming out of the bathroom I have a straight shot of vision to the windows in the front room, the windows are the dashes.

Anyway I hav all the lights on in the bedroom and bathroom, and as I was walking from the bathroom to the living room one evening, about to go out.

On my way to the front door, I caught a side-view sillouette of of a person in the window, it was behind me walking from one side of the bedroom to the other - how to describe in words here...I could tell it was a person, the shape of the head, and it had two arms and legs. But it was all black. like a shadow person, and it was walking behind me. I stopped really quick and made a sound, it stopped, looked at me (I could see this in the window reflection) and then hurried off to wherever it was oging.
Scared the pee out of me! I could have sworn someone was behind me! To this day, just like my other story, I promise that happened!
