anybody ever seen a ghost?

hi..i think i just need to talk about this and maybe someone will have some advice for me ..have any of you ever seen a ghost? i've always thought people who believed in ghosts were crazy or lying but ever since we bought this house i've felt there was some kind of negative energy here ..i thought it was from the people who lived here right before we did because they were a sad bunch who did heroin and neglected their kids and i thought once we fixed the house up and filled it with love it would wash it away you know?

then my children started telling me they were seeing a ghost.. i got some sage and started burning sage in the rooms because i did feel there was a negative energy and thought it would make the kids feel better about their ''ghost'' ..but then i saw the ghost...it was bizarre to say the least..at first i thought it was my daughter..it was dressed all in black like she likes to do, the same size as my daughter, it walked up the hall and into the bathroom, it looked Very sad..i didn't see it out of the corner of my eye or anything like that..i looked right at it ..i've never seen anything like that.. so then i asked my daughter to tell me specifically what she had seen without telling her what i saw.. she said it was dressed all in black, the same size as she is..a teenage girl, she saw it in the bathroom and said it felt evil not friendly ..that's when i started to kind of panic because that's exactly what i saw! then i asked my son what he saw and he said the same thing..it was dressed in black..sitting in the chair in his bedroom..he too thought it was my daughter at first just like i did and freaked out when he realized she wasn't there..he's seen it the most..he says it's always the same girl.. in his room or the bathroom..so now i'm kind of freaking out..

i haven't told my kids i've seen it..i don't want to scare them..for some reason i think it's the ghost of a teenage girl who killed herself in the bathroom or was killed, just because when i saw it it was so deeply sad..and i don't want that kind of negative energy around the kids..but then again i feel sorry for the sad little girl and want to help her somehow.. i'm trying to look into the history of the house and find out who has lived here before ..i told my husband i saw the ghost and he just laughed like i would have done before i saw it too..maybe it's not even a ghost but residual energy from someone who lived here before? or maybe it has nothing to do with who lived here before! i just don't know ..

thanks for 'listening' ..at least it's the right time of year for this kind of thing with halloween coming up right ?..i want to talk to a neighbor who has lived here all her life today about who used to live here before.. wish me luck!

    Yes, several. Each one was in a different place and a different kind of manifestation. They weren't scary, but amazing. Only one seemed to be aware of my presence. I liken seeing a ghost to seeing a car drive by: you know you have seen something, but you don't know anything about it- who's driving, where it's going, the make, year and model, etc. Keeps life interesting.

    I have had personal experiences with ghosts and spirits on a few occasions and I did not set out to have these experiences, they came to me. My first experience I thought it was my imagination. I was not a complete skeptic but had reservations but kept an open mind. When it happened I knew that it was something but not sure what. I then had another encounter in the very same place, a suspected haunted hotel, and then I knew it was not my imagination. I knew right then that there was something else to this world that I could not reach out and touch and completely comprehend.My perspective on life changed . I have had other experiences, not necessarily looking for them , but my personal beliefs in the paranormal are that there is another realm of existence that coexists with our own. We tend to be rational beings, seeing things for what they are and not in an abstract way. Having experiences with ghosts can challenge every aspect of what you've come to know and change it on a dime. Many others have had haunting experiences all over all the time. I simply cannot regard it as mass hysteria. Ghosts and spirits do exist and they are very much a part of life. Take care,

    One is an surely spirit it is caught or lost and nevertheless exists right here without physique. One is a psychic imprint, like a tape of an adventure enjoying returned and returned. One is a window of a few type into the previous or destiny. besides, I even have on no account seen a ghost yet i've got felt them, and heard them. i develop into on the very-haunted Stanley inn final year, in an empty ballroom looking out the window at my acquaintances shooting. the only different project interior the room develop right into a small bandstand with a grand piano. As I went to the door, the piano performed a notice. It have been given truly chilly. I went and regarded into the piano. I sat on the bandstand and regarded under the piano. I stated "ok, i will stay a minute, if that's what you opt for for, yet then I could pass." It develop into truly chilly and there have been little noises like somebody working their hands over the strings, yet i did not look. whilst the chilly stopped, I stated "so long" and that i went out into the foyer. that is not undemanding to be proficient with the sensitivity to work out those issues, I fought it for years and function only began to settle for it those days.
