Ghosts and the Paranormal

[carnation]

It's October so it's time for this thread!

I remembered it today because my very serious boss came in and told us that she now believes in ghosts because a few years ago, she was a counselor at a very old camp and she walked past the sleeping campers only to see a very dressed up, smiling old lady sitting on her bed. The happy lady then vanished.

Well, you guys hit the jackpot.

My dad was an elder at church and had to assist with a sister of the congregation who was possessed. Not sure if you guys want to hear the details, so I'll leave it right there.

But I've had multiple experiences with ghosts and the supernatural. I was a real estate agent for two years and showed a house to a young couple where this rocking chair began rocking all by itself. I sensed something the minute we pulled to the house and felt an energy when we went inside; I even suggested to the couple that we come back with the selling agent. It turned out that an old man died of a heart attack in that house very recently.

I had to bring someone in to get rid of a ghost where I used to live. I'm not sure what she did, but she got rid of it.

I still live in the same neighborhood, which at one time was a very rough and violent part of the city. So not sure it that has anything to do with it, but I've had 2 ghosts in 2 separate houses in the same neighborhood.

Last year, my totally sane, non-drinking daughter was sitting in her living room and there was a chrome dog dish in the middle of the room. It suddenly flipped over. Nothing was around that could've done it!

So her sister was making fun of her about it and this year, the sister and her kids were in the bathroom, door shut, drying off the dog. They heard a crash and ran out in the living room. One of the lamps was in the middle of the living room, smashed. They were locked in the house; no one else was anywhere around.

Jezebel is looking for stories for its spooky stories contest. Some good ones in the comments there, but I think PiKA2001 should submit his elevator story.
