True; it doesn't. But he's not.

Nope; none of the above.

Did you read my entire post? I said he had always had faith. Not "born again," no big revelation. Just faith from the get-go.

Default Have You Ever Had a Ghost/Supernatural Experience?

Have you ever had a supernatural experience? Do you even believe in ghosts? Do you believe people's stories of ghosts. There is a television show about celebrities' ghost stories, so I figured that if a lot celebrities have had a ghost experience, people on City Data must have had one.

So do you have one?

I've had one or two run-ins with what I believe to be paranormal entities... nothing much though. Well, one touched me (didn't see it) and then another that I saw... and my dad has some interesting experiences that he's shared with me.

We stayed at a 100+ year-old hotel in Port Townsend, WA one night, and
several strange things made me a skeptical believer. The next morning when we left I stopped at the guest book and noticed several guests having written about paranormal experiences. Later when we got home I did some research and found that there has been so much activity there, that the Pacific Northwest paranormal Society was having their convention there.
It turns out to have been a brothel in the past with a few murders.

Since then I saw a full body figure at my parents home about midnight.

We live on a haunted farm. On occasion, while we're watching TV at night, we can see someone walk across the front yard when we know that nobody's outside.

When my sister was about 3 she would hold conversations with our grandmother. She had died several years before my sister was born. My aunt decided to ask my sister a question that only my Grandmother would know the answer to. My sister gave her the correct one.

When my best friend died, I knew. I could smell his favorite soap. I was out in the woods at the time, no soap in sight!

Things around our house frequently wander off. One of us can set down a cup of coffee, walk out of the room, walk back in and it's gone.

This is the condensed version. I have more stories than I have the time to tell

NEXT!

I woke up in the night and saw a young man with a shadow beard, cut-offs, no shirt and a bandana around his head. He was younger then 30 I know. Anyway, he was bent over examining my husband pretty much from head to toe..I watched for a few seconds then said hey who are you? He turned around and went into the other room I followed him but he disappeared when he got to the window. He never looked at me in the face so I could see his face clearly and why did he turn and leave instead of just disappearing I don't know.
