Ghosts -- Have You Ever Encountered One?

[GaiPhillyBoy]

I have two...

I was once preparing to go on a school field trip so we had to leave early morning. Hence, I was getting ready to leave my house at between 5:30 - 6:00 Am. Literally and out of nowhere, An ear popping, Loud echoing scream of a woman came from the house next door. It literally echoed throughout the whole neighborhood. Even weirder, the house next door was empty and the people who lived in it moved out a couple of weeks prior to that scream. I've been told the same scream was heard throughout different parts of town in different days the same time. spooky!

The other one which is like 5 years after that scream incident ...
one dawn I woke up from sleep. I was really tired, my eyelids were heavy but I felt the presence of something. An energy. Whatever it was, it was watching me. I ignored the feeling and and closed my eyes and tried to go to sleep.
At 6Am. Half asleep, I felt something moving my shoulder. Gently pushing my shoulder more than once like it was trying to wake me up. I got out of bed and slept upstairs in the guest room.
I slept in the guest room for several days cuz whenever I went back downstairs that thing was there. I felt it.
THAT was truly creepy!

Both great stories, verysimple. That would make me want to sleep in another room as well... or perhaps another HOUSE!

I've said in a different thread that I don't believe in an afterlife but I did have a slightly wierd experience when I was about 15. I was in front of the house as was everyone else, the house, a Queen Ann house with some history, was empty. I looked up at the house and saw quite clearly one of the sash windows go up. I have absolutely no explanation for this.

Londoner, may I ask a question? Do you know if the sash window in question was operated by springs? If so, that COULD be an explanation. But if not, and a fairly weighty sash window went up on its own, then that is truly weird!

I saw an orb in an old torture chamber

Northlad, this does not surprise me at all. Places of war, torture, murder and suicide tend to have a high level of spiritual activity. That you saw it with your naked eye, I find that especially interesting, as that is very rare. Orbs are usually caught on video, but hard to see with the naked eye.
