Yes, SEVERAL times, and only at this one house I lived in. After moving out, I have never seen anything ever.
I was around 10 years old. Sleeping on the sofa bed with my lil brother who was 4 at the time. I woke up in the middle of the night being picked up and thrown onto the pillow playfully. (I was thrown maybe 3-4 times and woke up on the last one).
For some reason, I looked over to my right and there it was. A shallowly figure just standing there staring at me. Not moving or anything. It was strange. It was very dark, yet this figure was hella dark. She should out from everything else. I didn't image this. The only thing I could see was a black shadow figure. Just the silhouettes. I noticed her curly or wavy hair and she was standing right behind the coffee table.
I then hid under my blanket and tapped on my brother to try and wake him up. He yelled and said stop it. I took a peek again and yep, that shadow figure was still there. I was SCARED. From that night on, it was never the same. I saw so many shadow figures walking around, laying under my bed with their 2 legs sticking up from under the bed. My bet hamster would MYSTERIOUSLY get out of their cage and start crawling on the outside of the cage with the cage door still locked.
It was crazy. That place was haunted. The only thing I remembered before that night of my first sighting was I took a **** at the crawlspace entryway outside the house. Maybe someone was buried there and I pissed them off.
And no one else ever saw anything. It was just me. I couldn't be alone at the house. It was to much for me to handle.
Luckily we moved out of the place and I haven't seen anything since. I'm an adult now.
1979 Was at a local jobs corp and was sitting in bed and saw a figure walking down the aisle (Barracks bed living) and then it turned and went into the second door. That door is SOLID steel. 2 others saw it also, we went to the common area, and the bathroom, nothing...very strange.
However, many years ago a friend and I heard something. I used to work at a restaurant, and had the keys to the place. Sometimes, late at night we would go back for a few drinks. Once a friend and I went back. We were walking through the lobby and heard something. It sounded like a guy arguing with someone. But we only heard one voice. We couldn't make out any words however. We kept walking towards the source, which sounded like it was coming from downstairs. But as we got there the voice faded away. We investigated and found nothing. As we left the area, we started hearing the voice again. We called the owner and he showed up with his dog, but we all heard nothing. He wasn't happy we were there.
A few weeks later while speaking to a coworker, he told me a guy that had been to the place had a huge argument with his girlfriend right where we heard the voice. Apparently they ended up breaking up and he killed himself right after. Could it be he had come back to the place to resolve the argument? I don't know, but I know I heard something, and so did my friend.
Basement door kept opening itself overnight. Bought a lock for it. No matter how many times I locked it, the door was always open in the morning.
The place had a full basement but a crawl space under the kitchen. Crawled in their once and found a cast metal disk much like a manhole cover. Underneath was a 10x10x10 room. Carved into the stone was the word "ZION".
Columbus was a stop on the underground railroad.
I always knew there were six ghosts. Don't know why I thought that.
Finally sold the place and moved 800 miles away.
The new home had security system with a camera. The camera recorded 6 light blobs moving around the first floor.
Fortunately it stopped after a week or two.
Lots of experiences in that house.
Mostly the house would get upset if I closed doors or moved stuff.
Especially a book. I called the previous owner about him leaving a book in the library. He told me that the previous owner had left the book there. He said to me; "The house wants it there"
Not seen any, but heard one at last old house. Few, actually. Heard door slam, then footsteps in kitchen. Nobody was in that part of house. I was in living room. My grandmother's room was to side of living room, she was recently married. I figured it was my grandpa. Several years later, like clockwork, my son would wake up crying in night. He later pointed to my grandpa in a picture and said that he used to go in his room and stand by his bed, smiling. After my grandma passed, I moved into her room. I smelled her perfume at times and saw a shadow under the door. I never felt threatened there.
I used to bring my ex to work for graveyard shift in another town. There was this car that began following me and it gave me the chills. It happened to me twice. The second time I turned off on a road to go the back way to her house, since I stayed there. I pulled over and the car never passed. No sound, anything. I arrived at her house and her sister asked me what was wrong, I was visibly shaken. I told her about both times and she stated she also had that happen. I asked her where, just in case she was trying to make me feel better and not just saying that. She stated the exact place on road, after s curve, and the passenger side headlight brighter than the driver. When she turned off, there was nothing there. Had many experiences with my wife, and debunked a few. I know that in our place we stay now, we've heard voices. Tv was off and it wasn't neighbors. We live in country and neighbors are pretty far off. Took a picture also and behind my wife there is a red demon looking face.
My dad in his old age swore that his house was also inhabited by a woman who had two small children. He repeatedly complained about "those damn kids" running around the house giggling and laughing at all hours, disturbing his peace.
A couple weeks after he died a relative came to visit that house. While she was in the bathroom with the door closed guess what she heard? Little kids running through the house, giggling and laughing.
When my little Shih Tzu Zachary was alive, he would always sleep in bed with me. The bed would bounce a bit when he jumped up on it and I would feel his footsteps and then feel him curl up against my back and go to sleep. At least a few dozen times since he passed away I have been lying in bed about to go to sleep when I feel the "bounce" of the bed and then I feel the plodding footsteps. Finally, I feel a pressure on my back. It really startled me the first few times it happened. Now I just look over my shoulder and say, "Goodnight Zack". I find it very comforting.
That's happened to me off and on over the years. Have lived when and loved many cats over the years. Doesn't faze.
My friends has a ghost cat in her basement though; he only comes out when her cats are sick or a cruel to animals person is afoot nearby. That does scare me for some reason, even though he wears a cute kerchief 'round his neck.
This happened one summer. I had come back from a yard sale and parked the car in the yard, left the doors open. I came out of the house and took 6 photos with my digital camera on the ground on the driver's side of the car (did not go to the other side). Went back in the house to upload pics to PC - none of them came out. Called Tech support, was on phone and looking out window at passenger side of car. I saw what looked like a folk art doll on the ground, half under the car. It was about 1 ft long and I was looking at the legs, it looked like it had crawled under the car. The legs seemed to be made of white cloth. It did not move. I bent down to see more of it and got the impression that the body was a brighter white and fuzzy. When I finally went outside about 5 minutes later, there was nothing there. I live out in the country, no neighbors, no dogs. Since then my camera worked all right but only takes about half as many photos as it used to. (62 vs. 37). So what was it???
I was thinking maybe it was a stuffed animal or something I had picked up at the yard sale, that had fallen out of the car. Wish I had gone out as soon as I saw it..
This house was one we built, on an old farm that had been settled 200 years ago. Other than this one occurrence, I never saw or heard anything. However, many, many times I have smelt something (flowers, perfume) and felt someone touching the top of my head. After a while even my very skeptical husband started smelling the same things, and even saw an orb once.
I have also felt someone touching my legs through the covers when I am in bed, many times. And felt someone moving in the bed beside me, turned around and there was no one there. Both when my DH was alive, and had gotten up before me, and after he passed.
