To start the thread I’ll mention my most recent experiences.
Taking my 17 month old to nursery the other morning, he’s in his pushchair, my partner & other child are both in bed so it’s just us & I always walk out the house backwards with the pushchair (easier with our hallway & high dip on door) anyway my child starts waving & laughing say BYE BYE!! To our empty living room.

I add to say both of my children have woken up in the night as babies, my eldest quite often still does laughing & waving to the seemingly empty room however, my youngest has said hi grandad to the picture I have on my bedside table of me as a child with my grandad & I have seen him in the house. (He passed away 15 years ago)

I’d probably have to get rid of my kid 😅😱

not a ghost story but a weird thing happened a few weeks back.

I was driving home one evening along the country roads which I must do several times a week,
My husband and I had had a lovely day seeing friends it wasn’t late and we were chatting away.

As we approach the village before our house my husband says that’s weird why do we feel like we’re driving up hill? (We know the roads, there are no hills near us and certainly not on this road) I glance and him and I’m like meh not sure what you’re talking about
Carry on driving and a split second later Its like im transported to a completely different road, different time of day, with zero knowledge of where I am, where I am driving or where the road is taking us! It was so disorienting I can’t really explain. A bit like when you totally forget a word you’ve used forever. It was actually really scary because all of a sudden I didn’t know where I was. It also looked completely different.
It didn’t last long
My husband after the incident all of a sudden said …that was super weird I just felt like I was on a completely different road, in a completely place and didn’t have a clue where we were going.

I'm went on my first ghost walk tonight. Good fun, only really two things of note: in a tudor pub a sudden overwhelming smell of lavender that went as soon as it came. Same venue I experienced a strange full body shiver, seemingly at the same time a lady had a bit of a mini meltdown and had to leave. I wonder if we felt the same odd thing. Lovely misty night for walking around 👻.

I've always wanted to do a ghost walk but never got round to it. I was booked on a Jack The Ripper one but couldn't go due to illness. I must rectify this.

You've just reminded me. Someone told me to whip out my phone and start photographing around me next time something funny happens around me. Said they were told to do this by a psychic.
Trouble is you're so stunned it's the last thing you think of. 🙄😁

Does anyone follow Retford Ghosthunters on Facebook? They did a mint hunt on Monday night at the Duke William at Haxey! It will still be on the page and is worth a watch and the screen shots ppl have got from it are interesting

I feel like I'm surrounded by sadness and mortality at the minute so I wanted to share an old story relating to my granddad. I'm not sure what I believe regarding death but these couple of stories keep playing on my mind.

My granddad died of cancer in 2013. Ever the comedian, he joked about coming to haunt me when he died to which I told him if he did, I would be terrified and wouldn't be happy with me. My stories relate to my mum and my partner.

1st weird thing that happened was on the day he died. My mum was staying at my grandma's house as she'd told us if she didn't go back to the house, she would never go back following his death. My mum was asleep in her old room, with windows and doors all shut. No drafts or anything like this. She said she vividly remembers waking up but not opening her eyes. She said she felt like someone was sat next to her on the bed, like a parent watching over a child.
She said she saw his face and then felt the weight on the bed leave, as if someone had stood up to leave the room.

We also had it where my grandma was receiving so many condolence cards, they covered the dining room table and fireplace etc. Literally at the same time, they all fell over, like someone had put their arms across them and swept them off the table.

About a year after he died, me and my partner were sleeping and he woke up to see a man wearing an old miners uniform staring over me. He then spotted my partner staring and turned and left the room through the wall.

Finally, most recently, my mum has a mickey mouse ornament in the kitchen that has recently started moving itself. She couldn't figure out how it was moving, it was too heavy to be moved by the wind or a draft. The only way it could be moved is by someone actively moving it. My granddad was obsessed with Mickey Mouse and she thinks it was him doing it to wind her up.

Again I don't know what to believe but I really struggle to think these are all just coincidences. Who knows 🤷‍♀️
I've had similar so no you're not imagining it. Strangely you feel quite calm when it's happening but afterwards when you think about it it feels quite freaky.

My school was in the countryside and me and a friend went to the back field at lunch. We were just chatting and in the adjacent field (not part of the school grounds) about 100 m away we saw 2 horses run past. We then sprinted over to the fence and looked into said field and there was nothing in it. It’s later that we found out there were 2 horse graves on site from the 1700s. The overnight caretakers apparently heard lots of horses run through the woods at night too, at least one caretaker had to leave because he was so traumatised by it.

Another time me and another friend went out into the woods as soon as lunch break started and we were the only ones there. Suddenly we noticed someone standing about 15 m away who just looked like a shadow because of all the branches and leaves obscuring finer features. I called out and the person crouched down. It then abruptly stood up and walked out into the back field. We sprinted after it and must have emerged onto the field just a few seconds later and there was no one there.

Another time the year above us did GCSE English exam in the gym and after it finished everyone left and the gym was locked. When all the students were walking back into the school the caretaker asked if anyone had stayed behind to which the English teacher said no. He then showed them the camera monitor where you could see a blonde girl and a brunette one sitting at desks in the gym. The students and teacher all saw this on the monitor and gasped. We had an English lesson with that teacher straight after and she was in shock, she spent half the lesson talking about the incident instead of Shakespeare. Lots of ghost stories from that school.

My mum said the same. Like with the ornament she just calmly said "Dad please just stop" and it did. It was only afterwards that she realised exactly what she was doing 😅

I'm so torn about what happens after you die that ghost stories do kind of comfort me in a weird way.
Although if my granddad randomly shows up tonight I'll be terrified 😂😂
Next time try and remember to whip out your phone and take pictures all around you, and see if he's there. That's what I was told to do, but I haven't remembered to do it yet.

My mum has very recently passed away and we found her, we went to the funeral directors earlier this week and I just wasn’t in the right headspace so we went out and about afterwards for an hour. Anyway that day I saw so many dogs in really unusual places and it felt like a sign from mum. I know sounds mad but it’s comforting. Not seen any other dogs this week at all x

I hope you do keep seeing signs. ❤

I spoke out loud to my granddad this evening and told him if he's around, I want to see proof and want him to show me.

I feel like I'm literally going nuts even speaking that out loud 😂 i am starting to believe more and more though. I've been reading a lot and I so hope it's true

I was told to chat to family and friends who had passed on by a psychic. I haven't yet as I'd feel a right berk.
I've only ever done it when I had ghosts in my house and a colleague's husband told me to do it, so they'd leave me alone, which strangely they have. Years later I discovered after going to a psychic, that they targeted me as I became suddenly psychic for a while, due to a health problem (heart), which made me somehow get up to their energy level. The ghosts obviously got excited 😁 realizing they could communicate with me. Scared me silly though instead. Once my heart got sorted and I spoke to thin air 🙄 I had no more trouble.
It was so lovely that someone believed me rather than putting me down as a fruit loop like everyone else seemed to do.
I was watching a psychic on You Tube recently and she said to use the words "Is it in my interests to........." if you want help with something.
