Ghost in my house?

[LucidFlanders]

Ok i'm not normally 1 to make these or believe in these but something just came over me that i have NEVER had in my life....i'm still shaking, i can barely type this....i even said in the air "please get out" many times...OMFG I AM FREAKING OUT!!!! dude...the feeling...i swear to GOD that feeling i had was something in my small room with me.....i have never been o scared in my life.....im freaking out......i kept hearing stuff move around and bang and footsteps and door noises in the basement. That feeeling i just got...i dont really believe in this stuff but what just happened to me i dunno...my hands are shaking SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my head was tingling like CRAZY! the feeling something is there in my room was there, my heartrate shot up SO MUCH. My cat ran away earlier when i heard these noises. I have never been so scared of this feeling i am having EVER! i don't have it anymore, just the after effects. I could not even feel my arms moving around when i was moving them myself. I know i am going to regret making this......

BTW i believe i made a thread about a noise i hear every now and then my dad told me about, and i hear it too...i even heard voices talking but muffled voices and it sounded like it was downstairs.

Turn on the tv and just ignore the feeling. Seriously, that feel you get usually happen when you are all alone, and while the tv isn't a real person some part of your brain kind of sees it as. Put on like a comedy show, and you probably wont be scared anymore. The more you give into that fear or idea someone is in there with you, the more it scares you. It like feeds off itself. You are a little nervous, then you think of it more and more and then you get all scared. Basically sounds like you just got yourself all hyped up. You might think you heard voices but have you ever gone into the basement to check it out? I bet if you did, you wouldn't find any ghosts down there.

I used to get the chills when I would run through my dark house at night, to the kitchen to get snacks. This was when I was really little. Months ago, I got the same feeling when I was really blazed and needed to run back to the kitchen. I think the correlation here is that when you are younger and when you are high, your imagination is running wild. Just take some deep breaths and remember that there is no real evidence to back up ghosts.

[Alric]

It is actually a natural human reaction due to evolution, because once open a time animals would leap out and eat you. If you walk down a dark alley at night, you might get the impression of the same thing, that you are in danger and stuff. Even if nothing is there, part of you is saying "Yea but a mugger could be hiding around the corner, look out!" It is a subconscious thing, and can be set off by unexpected thing. I mean, with the alley example the reason is obvious why you are scared. However in your own room, it may be something far subtler. And that little thing sets off your subconscious while consciously you are not aware of why. And that is why some people make up reasons like ghosts.

The feeling just came out of nowhere. I was listening at first going wtf...seconds later im at the peak of FEAR! i had chest pains for an hour and a half.... and only had 30 minutes sleep. I'm fine now but i'll never forget that feeling. Even if it was my subcon...jesus!

When I was a kid my dad told me "ghosts are pussies, if they had the power to hurt you they would but they dont, so they just try to creep you out" anyway I dont have much to contribute I agree with what everyone else said you probably freaked yourself out, it happens.

I've had similar experiences when we were renovating our house back home. There was a sudden loud crash and the unmistakable sound of glass breaking. It woke the entire house up, but when we went to inspect it we couldn't find any signs of anything out of place and there was no glass anywhere on the floor. Not even the contractor could find anything wrong the next morning. I would also see dots of light float past the door and once even saw two dots of light that looked like eyes coming from my bookshelf. Screamed like hell and woke both my parents up. There are other experiences too, though I don't expect anyone else to suddenly believe in ghosts just because I think I've seen them. Turn on the tv, snuggle with your cat under a blanket and drink a nice cup of tea if it happens again and try to relax. It's freaky as all get out, but if it's not trying to hurt you then no need worrying.

I agree, i don't think it was a ghost anymore but more me wanting it to be a ghost because of a few noises. Although i did hear some strange crashes and door sounds in the basement....not the house settling down but crashes, bangs, etc. Once i heard a small noise in my room is when i was set off into the peak of fear and caused me to have chest pains for 90 minutes (yes...90 minutes!). Normal fear the chest pains would not last gone but theis fear i had overtake me caused it to last SO LONG, which tells you how scared i was..... I always say people find things they don't understand and pin it on ghosts and this thread is an example of that. I was too scared to think it could have been my imagination and i'm sure even the most rational people if under this fear i had would think it was ghosts too just because of the fear alone. Although even to this date i still hear the sounds of muffled voices talking...sounds like a conversation but i just ignore it. I always have partys at a house across the street from me. If ghosts do exist (who knows?) then what i saw when i was younger was probably it. A figure of a man smiling at me and waving to me and walking into darkness....if ghosts exist that is probably a real one. People say there is no evidence of ghosts but if they exist this would be the way it happens and people would always blame it on the imagination of you wanting 1 to exist. I'll never be a full blown dis believer because i don't understand how anyone could? i mean it can't always be "it was your imagination" and you always fully believe it or you are kinda blind and want nothing it to not exist so you do whatever it takes to blame it on something else (the reverse of a believer), but i'll never be a full believer because once again...how can you? for the same reason i said about dis believers. People should really be agnostic about this whole thing just because we will never know if they exist and we will never know if they do not exist. Also, if ghosts exist people say they are evil because they do not UNDERSTAND the situation. Something flying off in the room...perhaps the ghost wanted your attention and being human you thought it was evil therefore you say you got an evil ghost n you room. People misunderstand what is happening which leads to "evil spirits". BTW i found out the noise that happens in the 1 room in the basement...i got a heatpump and the hot air makes the pipes make a thump so it is why sometimes in that 1 room only you hear the sound of a car that has music on blast and windows up and hear the rattle of the glass with that "thump" noise consistently. That is what the noise in the downstairs room is.

How do you know it was in your place? sometimes it may sound like it's coming from your place but it could be outside.

[Blackberryfox]

How do you know it was in your place? sometimes it may sound like it's coming from your place but it could be outside. It was insanely loud and came from directly below us. I suppose it's possible it could have come from outside, but it didn't seem like it was buffered by the walls like I imagine a noise like that would be.

Something flying off in the room...perhaps the ghost wanted your attention and being human you thought it was evil therefore you say you got an evil ghost n you room. People misunderstand what is happening which leads to "evil spirits". This I can defiantly agree with. Ghosts might be frightening, but not evil just for what they are. I actually heard one belief that ghosts are like a memory captured in time and put on repeat. So not a sentient being so much as a movie stuck on a loop. Just thought it was a cool idea.

I just say ghosts because it sounds better to say and sound better period then spirits.

One of my guys at work who's into this stuff told me to do an EVP so i thought "what the hell" and told him i don't believe in EVP's...we hear noises and think it's people talking but it's just different frequencys and people tell us what we are hearing, anyway i just tried it for fun and 3 times ina row when on my ipod recording i can hear my phone ringing when it wasn't...i figured it was part of what ipods do when recording but i don't hear my phone on any other ones. Maybe it's out of date or something? lawl a ghost is calling me on teh phone.3 recordings 1 by 1 and you can hear the phone ring. If someone tells me how to upload the recordings to here i can show you. I am probably the most scared of the "unknown" you'll ever come acrost...i'm still sleeping with SOME light in my room and it's been a week since i felt what i felt. I know it was my imagination but the thought of if it was real scares the fuck out of me. edit- It's the ipod...listened closer to the other videos and heard it again. I guess it's part of the recording thing.

Sounds like you were suffering some of the symptoms of a panic attack. Also, I think the incidence of (I hate to use the term) "schizophrenic" experiences such as hallucinations are much more common than people think. Hallucinations aren't that uncommon and perhaps that's what you heard.

[LucidFlanders]

I wish i did not make this dumb thread. Ghosts...lmao wut?

[Blackberryfox]

I wish i did not make this dumb thread. Ghosts...lmao wut? Now why would you wish that? I think it sparked some interesting ideas and discussion. Even if you don't believe in them outright there's nothing wrong with having moments of fear that you might have encountered them, even if you realize that probably wasn't the case later.

[LucidFlanders]

Now why would you wish that? I think it sparked some interesting ideas and discussion. Even if you don't believe in them outright there's nothing wrong with having moments of fear that you might have encountered them, even if you realize that probably wasn't the case later. Because the fear in me made me think this way....the way i fuckin HATE how people always resort to 1 possible conclusion. The ghosts did it! I guess it's normal and should not feel bad...but people need to stop thinking this way, me included when you're scared. Think RATIONALLY! I have a fear of the unknown, i know that already and can agree to that and the sounds at that early in the morning plus the darkness i was in, the fact i never slept that night...not even 1 wink! But what is the unknown? for me, it's not knowing what that noise was. My brain conjured up some sound because i wanted to feel afraid, and the little things set it off. I don't like change, which is probably why i am afraid of the unknown. I hate hypocricy and i am surround by it every single day, yet here i am being a hypocrite. I seriously can't stand being around hypocrites, probably the biggest pet peeve i have.

And the fact is everyone is a hypocrite now and again. This is just the way life is. We're not perfect and while we should always strive to make ourselves better that doesn't mean we can't slip up now and again. I hate it when my clients show up late for their appointments, but the fact is I'm late for my own as well. It makes me a hypocrite and sometimes I have to remind myself of that, but it doesn't make me a bad person just because I forget myself sometimes. I just have to try a little harder next time to not only be on time, but to remind myself not to get angry at my clients for being late as well. It's easy to sit there and say what you should have done. You should have thought rationally, you should have considered what is obvious to you now, but the fact is when you're in the moment and faced against so many different odds what you should do isn't always so obvious. I remember one time I was driving home from my friends house by myself. It was my first really long trip by myself and it had already started to get dark. I ended up getting lost and ended up in a place where I couldn't get cell reception. I started to panic, badly but rather then turn around and go to one of the convenient stores that were in the town I freaked out and stopped at a random persons house. I knocked on their door and asked to use their phone. I actually went inside of their house and let them close the door behind me as I called my mother crying. Do you have any idea what could have happened to me? What they could have done to me? I should be thankful that it was a kind elderly couple and not some freak who would have hurt or killed me. It was a stupid, stupid move on my part but I don't fault myself. I was scared, it was getting dark, and I had never encountered a situation like this before. I'm a smart girl. I knew better. I know what I should have done, but in the moment that was irrelevant. Moral of the story is don't be so hard on yourself. You're human. You're allowed to make mistakes and yes even be a hypocrite.

Ghosts are absolutely real. Most experiences people have can be explained by natural, rational causes, but not all. I personally have experienced things that have absolutely no explaination other than something supernatural. However, most entities are not there to hurt you, and ignoring them is probably best if you want them to leave you alone.

[Solarflare]

funny how, even though your hands were shaking and you were freaking out..... you made no typos :/ iunno i just noticed that

If anyone was wondering what an argument from ignorance looks like, this is one.

If anyone was wondering what an argument from ignorance looks like, this is one. You're obviously looking to start an argument with me. Very well, I'll indulge you. Please, do explain how, in your opinion, my statement was "ignorant"?

[Descensus]

You're obviously looking to start an argument with me. Very well, I'll indulge you. Please, do explain how, in your opinion, my statement was "ignorant"? It was ignorant in the sense that it put forth a false dichotomy. You reached a conclusion (that ghosts are absolutely real) based on that dichotomy, with the premises that (1) not all experiences can be explained naturally, and (2) the experiences you had have no explanation other than a supernatural one. In addition, though not entirely related, you didn't show that a supernatural explanation is even an explanation at all.

[buriedmonsters]

Wow. You're full of shit, you know that? You're that person who just goes around and picks fights for the sake of arguing. What, did mommy not hug you enough as a kid? It's late here, and I'm vastly uninterested in debating my supposed "false dichotomy" with you. Let me just rephrase my entire post, so you don't get your panties all twisted up in your asscheeks again. IN MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I have found ghosts/spirits to be real due to the fact that I have had experiences with things that cannot be expained naturally, and from what I know about spirits, they are a good fit as an explaination to the things that I have seen/heard/felt. Now, I'm not sure how you can argue with me about things that I have personally experienced, as you cannot disprove them at all. But I'm sure you'll try, because you're just that kind of self-important douchbag.
