Why do i see things (ghosts)?

Ever since me and my boyfriend moved into my new house, the weirdest things have been happening. I saw someone, last night.. I don't know who. It was a woman, her figure was dark, shadowed..Not how I'd imagine a ghost, I'd picture them light and glowing? I thought it was in my head, but when I opened my eyes she was still there... I hear people talking, and hands brushing against my face..My boyfriend never sees these things, but he feels them..Whats going on?

Update:

I dont watch scary movies! I'm a realist, I never used to believe in this stuff either. But seriously, this is real.

Update 2:

I can't hide behind my faith, because I'm not religious.

    You should try talking to it's previous occupants and see if they had any similar experiences, or maybe if they knew of any deaths that might have happened inside the house. Get some of the history. You might find out something interesting.

    I believe you because I've also had similar experiences in the past. Somebody told me once that if you ask them firmly to leave you alone then they will. Because usually their intention isn't to frighten you. That seems to have worked for me. If you get any problems try talking to a clairvoyant and see if they can pick up anything. Or talk to a priest. They might be able to help. :-)

    Well, I don't think any of this is a lie. When I was a kid, i used to see angels because I was younger.

    Now that I'm twenty three years old, I see white doves fly by every Friday or Thursday afternoon.

    I would suggest cleansing the house out with some stones like amethyst. Put a stone in every window because the amethyst is a stone of spiritual protection and to keep them out, you need to cleanse the stones themselves. Wash them in soft soap, dry them with a towel or let it air dry, put them all under a bag of sea salt because it's the natural elements of the earth, either let them sit under the sun or moon-lite for the night. If you place them in the sun, leave it for four hours.

    To answer your question; you have an ability that has just been tapped into because you went into that house. I wouldn't worry too much, but don't think about any of the things you see because your imagination can make things feel worst.

    Source(s): Working with stones for 2 1/2 years (not too long though).

    my friend told me a story similar to this:

    Her mum has a friend who used to own a house and she experience things like this; there was these two women haunting their house-they never did anything horrible but they were just there and she could feel the presence and so could her daughter. However her husband and son couldn't. SHe sold the house after a while and the woman who lived there(she didn't tell her it was haunted)said she could feel a presence, she felt like it was a woman and her partner couldn't feel a thing.

    This is true and may run through your family i have many family members that gose through this. The first thing u shud do is talk to a priest so that they can be able to bless u and ur house the person who live there before or years before may hve done something to cause deamons or evil spirits to posses your new house. You should also pray alot and try going to church b4 things get worse. If u try all of these and problems still occurs then u shud move out.

    Consider yourself blessed. Your ability is a gift not a curse.

    Do they seem to be interacting with you or does it seem like the exact same thing is happening over and over again.

    If they seem to be interacting with you, try to communicate with them. One of the easiest ways is to ask them to make a sound like knocking on a wall or door. If they respond, then ask them to knock once for yes or twice for no.

    One you get past these preliminaries, you can ask question and possibly find out who they were, why they are still there and such.

    Just don't let the fear mongers get to you. There will always be a couple of people around that feel the need to try to scare people instead of showing love and actually trying to help.

    I never used to believe in these things either. But a few years ago i saw a figure walk up my stairs. I thought it was my husband playing a trick on me, but when i went upstairs he wasn't there. and no one was.

    Sometimes i think that if you aren't scare of things(you weren't as you didn't believe in spirits) you are more likely to show themselves to you, I know so many people wont believe what you are saying, but does it matter when you know what you seeing and feeling.

    Maybe speak to someone about getting an exorcism done.

  • COoL!! Anyways.. First, i would tell them to just go away. Tell them they are ghosts and that they need to go to heaven. They are trying to communicate with you. I would say (to them) that you dont know what they are saying, and that you want to know, but there is no way for them to tell you. If this doesnt work, then contact a psychic. They will be able to get rid f them. As for only you being able to see them, i hear that people with white auras attract ghosts. (you cant see auras but ghosts can) You may have a white auara and he doesnt.

    what do u mean that you are not religious ? I am not going to lecture you but you mean you dont believe that we are not alone in this world ?

    and all world is being controled by God ? the greatest and the most merciful ?

    the woman that you saw ,exists . these things happen to most people who dont believe in . why ? because they want you to believe in them .

    they want you to know that they are there and exist. but in different time and world. if i want to talk ,i have to write a book for you , but the only things that i can tell u to do so that not to be bothered with them is that pray for them peace and happinesS and forgiveness by GOD .THEY NEED YOU TO DO SO . if you can find and but a cd of quran ( muslim's holly book ) and let the cd be broadcast at home with just a tune that anybody can hear they feel better and they leave the house . but about things that you hear , my husband always hears some conversation in our bedroom too . it is for the time traveling and other people presence in the past who were in our bedroom before .

    DONT WORRY ! THE MORE YOU THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS THE MORE YOU ATTRACT THEM .JUST PRAY ! JUST WANT LOVE FOR EVERYTHING ! LOVE FOR OTHERS .PEACE AND HAPPINESS FOR EVERYONE AND EVERY CREATURES .

    I AM 36 . BUT I HAVE LIVED IN MANY WORLD .IN MANY SITUATION AND CONDITION AND THERE IS JUST ONE SOLUTION FOR EVERY PAIN AND MATTER AND ISSUE IN THIS WORLD WHICH IS " LOVE " AND " GOD IS TOTALLY LOVE ".

    BEST WISHES & LUCK

    You must be psychic. It is real. Ghosts cannot hurt you but you need to find an experienced medium. This is not religion but a fact. These people may be benign or not, either way they should have moved on but cannot.

    They are only people, so do talk to them - they may need your help.

    Odd things happen in our house sometimes. Like we were sat in the night, and four of us girls saw my head spin 360 degrees around on my neck in my reflection, when in reality it didn't move. Strange voices coming from the tv even when it's on mute. Doors opening by themselves. The shower operating by itself. Windows being found open. Stuff like that.

    After the 'head incident,' we went to the local Church and they sent someone over. The Priest and his wife will sometimes drop in on evenings to see how 'things' are and check nothing too weird has happened, they 'investigate' what's going on too apparently. I'm sure they just sit there drinking tea but anyway..

    If it's getting too scary, contact your Church, mine seemed very keen to help.
