Okay ~ here's the deal, I grew up with a deeply religious Grandmother that lived in a very haunted house in Earlington, Ky.  What I want to know from you is IF you believe in ghosts and if you have any true ghost stories that you would be willing to share.

I love Ghost Hunters and have been on several ghost hunts and just like to hear others experiences!!!

Pam,those are so neat!  Travis always said that something shook the bed when we lived in our first house.  We also saw strange shadows and such. Christmas night, 92', we were awaken from a deep sleep with his little train set that somehow turned itself own, went around the track once, and then turned off!!!

I was going to put on my post that my Grandmother has always told me so many ghost stories and I know that they are the truth!

Her father, Whit Smith, even had a ghost dog that use to follow him when he was a young boy.  He would ride with his father in a wagon and would have to stop at a gate, the ghost dog would start to run by them at the end of the road, and when they reached the gate and had to stop, the dog would jump up over the gate, and would disappear right at the top.  I just always use to love this one.  I still have her tell me her stories when I go up there!!!

:D Tammy, I love the ghost dog story!
  GT - Must have been Grandma giving you her last goodbye.

Great stories.

:shock: interesting :shock:

:shock: wow that would be scary for anyone :shock:

My daughter, age 12, says that her radio comes on by itself at night.  This has just started since my Momma died.  But I also know that there has always been reported "parnormal" activity around young girls getting ready to hit puberty.  So I am really torn on what to think.  She isn't really scared of it, just more amused.  As long as it doesn't bother her, why should it me!!!

When I was a girl my family was really chummy with our Priest and his family. Once they had my Aunt and I sit for their kids.

The house was quiet, the kids sleeping and my Aunt and I sat in the living room. We bagan to feel weighted down and some kind of man in many hats appeared. He laughed, changed hats, then vanished as fast as he came.

The year was 1973, answering machines were not really popular. And our church did not have one.

My Grandmother called us to see if we wanted pizza (she was just a few dorrs away), but we did not hear the phone, we were watching the hat man... Grandma did get an answer on the phone. It was a mans voice but not the priest, and it said Father Burton was not home...

Grandma and Grandpa decided to come over and check things out, and ran right over. They got to us, but it seemed everything was over. We were all kinda scared and they stayed with us until the Priest and his wife got home.

When they returned they told uss this kind of thing happened all the time.

They said pillows would float sometimes. Candles would blow out... Just all kinds of stuff.

They tried to cleanse the church and church house, but wound up asking to be transfered to another parish.

The next Priest had the same trouble.

Now there is yet another new Priest, I am interested in seeing what will happen next.

My Aunt and the priests were recently contacted by someone involved in Chicago Ghost Stories, but I don't know if they were ever interviewed.


This is my only ghost story. It is true. (I don't see things, not on drugs, not drunk, never been abducted, and I do believe Elvis is dead...So please don't think I am some wacko...

Another Grandmother story ~ she was one of several kids and all of the girls slept in the same room.  Anyway, back then they used to "Lay out the dead" in the families home.  One of her uncles died and was laid out in there living room ~ that gives me goosebumps by itself!  But her and her older sister were awakened the first night by the dead uncle standing in their doorway!!!  She said she was really scared over that one.

Just his spirit!  His body was downstairs ~YUCK!!!!

My friend and I were using a Ouija board, we had candles lit, and it was a nice evening on my front stairs.  A wind came up and blew the candles out; we were communicating with something because the piece was moving without us touching it.  

We asked questions while another friend took notes.  One of the friends decided it was really late and went home to bed (right across the parking lot).  About half an hour later she came screaming out of her house.  Said there was an invisible man in her bedroom.  She could feel him touch her.  

Did the Ouija the next night.  Had candles lit again.  I was smart because I had my amulet of protection.  Candles went out again this night.  Contacted something again.  When we were done we all went to our homes.

When I went to bed I had the amulet tied around my ankle on a piece of leather.  The amulet started burning my ankle.  So I thought that was strange and stuffed it in my bra.  Still burned.  Started getting scared.  Holding it in my hand and I feel a pressure like someone just sat on my lower legs.

Nothing happened after that on that particular night.  However I did quit doing the Ouija board.  We studied literature about the board and other phenomenon before we tried using it.  We went into it with an open mind, but we didn't expect this. :shock:

Thanks for sharing those with us Kris.  The first one scares me because I am scared to death of an Ouija Board!  You can really open up some bad stuff with one of those!  

The second one was really different.  When your kids see a girl in the closet, and hear voices, that is a good hint to get the heck out of there!!!!

:shock:  :twisted: scary stuff :P

Count me in as someone who won't fool with the Ouija board.
