It's really a wild leap in imagination to see a weird shadow on a grainy old video or have your MIL say she thought you had on a different color shirt & you assume it had to be the spirit of a dead human being just messing around with you.

I’ve seen a ghost. When I was 12 I woke up from a nightmare and there was a lady standing in my room white and glowing. If not a ghost then an angel. And no it wasn’t sleep paralysis because I sat up and even got out of bed before she disappeared
You can not believe me and that’s fine. It conforms for me there’s something else out there.

I have many but a similar one to this. We were in my family's restaurant and we had a new chef. He was looking through the old photos we had hanging up and pointed to one and said he saw her the other night. It was my great grandmother who had died almost 5 years before and he did not know her. He went very pale after we explained things to her.
I qas also physically shoved in that restaurant and on camera. We lost the video in Katrina so non-believers immediately dismissed it. Maybe it isnt ghosts but there is something that is unexplained.

Buddy traveled back in time once at the Vicksburg Battlefield, Illinois monument to be exact. When I first walked into the monument, which is like a large dome, everything was normal. I could hear some kids playing outside, birds chirping, and a weed eater mowing in the distance.
Suddenly, something noticeably changed. It was as if all of the colors drained out of the world. The birds stopped, I couldn’t hear anything, not the kids nor the lawnmowers, only my own increasingly frightened breathing. Then, I started hearing something else, extremely faint at first, but slowly growing louder and louder.
I saw my friend having what appeared to be a seizure in the center of the rotunda. He was not known to have any history with seizures before or since. All around me I could hear, loud as a freight train, the sounds of the battle. Horses, cannons, guns, the screams of dead men. The noise was unbearable as he convulsed, his eyes firmly shut as I desperately tried to wake him.
His eyes flashed open and all of the noise ceased. The color came back to the world, and the outside noises of kids, birds, and landscaping equipment were audible again. My friend was white as a sheet and had a terrified look on his face. I helped him up just as our parents told us it was time to leave, so we didn’t talk about WTF just happened right away.
At dinner, I finally asked him about it, and with a rare seriousness and noticeable sense of fear and dread, he told me he was there. He was in the battle marching in line wearing a grey uniform. His unit was given the order to fire, but before they could get out a shot, a volley ripped into them and he was shot in the head and woke up. He was more puzzled because he remembered me being there at the battle beside him, so he was confused that I didn’t remember.
This is a core memory from my childhood. I was 12 or 13 when this happened. Allegedly, we both had ancestors that fought for the South in that battle. His ancestor was KIA, mine was shot in the stomach but lived. I have never seen any documentation to show that they were in the same unit, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

My BIL saw a ghost in an old hunting cabin in Kansas. It was a lady standing in the hallway and then she disappeared into a door. The owner told my BIL that the last group hunting in that old house the ghost lady had called out one of their names

I enjoy spooky weird stuff and do believe there’s a lot of weird things going on. However I have a few questions:
If ghosts are spirits, why do they have clothes? I have a few theories but I’m pretty sure clothes don’t have afterlife.
For videos and recordings with images or sounds that nobody saw or heard what is it about the spirit world that these devices pick up that eyes and ears can’t? It’s just light and sound waves. These devices aren’t calibrated to the spirit world.
Why don’t we see more spirit animals? Would be awesome if we did though….i think.
That said my grandad swore to his grave that they had a ghost in their first house. It had a central hallway and they heard somebody opening the door and walking down the hall a couple of nights. The next night he jumped out with his shotgun and there was nobody there but the steps went past him, the door opened, steps went out and it closed. He was serious man too.

With some ghost woman standing there staring at you? No way.

A few years ago I was dating a woman who was from Guatemala. Her mother and grandmother had the ability to communicate with spirits. She watched all those paranormal TV shows and movies. She could not sleep unless those were playing in the background. I would be over at her house and in her bedroom. Her bedroom door which was open would slam shut. The light cover in her kitchen would fall down. Cabinet doors would open and close by themselves. None of that bothered me. She just said the spirits were playing.
One night we were on her bed watching a movie. My foot was dangling off the bed. She has a Japanese style bed. It was low to the floor and had a platform under. Nothing can be under the bed. I felt a tight pinching on my toe. I told her it felt like something pinched me. Without telling her where or how she described it perfectly. She asked if it felt like too long skinny fingernails pinching my small toe from both sides. I said yes it felt just like that. She said the spirits are angry and I need to leave. They are in a mood.
The pinching continued even as I put on my shoes and left the house. Finally released the pinching pressure as I left the block. My window seemed darker than normal and about 30 mins later, a dark mist cloud lifted off my windshield and it was clear to drive. The next time I went over to her house she "cleansed" the room and me. Never had an issue with the spirits again. Never freaked me out either.

What happened after y’all broke up?

She went back to an ex and supposedly got married. I dated a doctor. Now dating a lawyer. This was 7/8 years ago. Who knows what she is doing now.

Last year I went to a local cemetery to make arrangements for a grave plot for a relative that lived out of state.
While talking to the manager I asked her if they ever had any strange things happen.
She laughed and said only once.She asked a young woman in the office to go out and flag a plot,for an upcoming service.
While she was out there she felt someone tapping her on the shoulder,turned around and no one there.
She hauled it back to the office and refused to ever go back out in the cemetery.

Those aren't ghost stories.
Those are ghost anecdotes.
Bad ones at that.
I want a refund.

We lived in an old house uptown Nola for a while. Lots of weird stuff but the two that stick out was the Dustbuster used to rev up by itself. I’d switch outlets for the charger, but it still did it. We moved and it never did it again. The other was my 4 year old used to complain that someone was tugging on her clothes but when she turned around no one was there.
