Re: Ghost sightings....

I saw a program on the History channel about the many Ghost sightings and encounters in and around the Gettysburg battlefield. While I dismiss many of the stories as people having overactive imaginations or wanting to be on TV, some of the stories seem eerily convincing.

One I particularly remember is about one of the old dormitories on the Gettysburg campus. The story goes that two of the College administrators were in the building late one evening, and took the elevator to the first floor. But the elevator did not stop there, it continued down to the basement. The doors opened, and the two were horrified to see a ghastly 1863 field hospital scene, pools of blood and piles of amputated limbs. Stacks of dead bodies, wounded soldiers moaning, crying. Supposedly, two blood-spattered doctors stopped what the were doing and stared at the two terrified mortals.
Afterwards, their research found the basement had indeed served as a temporary hospital and morgue for the Union Army during the battle.

Re: Ghost sightings....

I don't know that I believe in ghosts, but I do find it very interesting.. I'm more of a UFO buff myself. Again..not really believing but interested...

I frequent this site.. it's always got some cool stuff..

Actually the beard is the result of the abduction.

Re: Ghost sightings....

I have one, my two brothers and I were in the cemetery my Dad is buried in, I, being 6 or 7 years old, and having to tag along in my brothers 64' Impala, saw a ball of light the size of a softball wandering around the cemetery, I pointed it out to them, I think there was two girls with us also, they all stopped in their tracks. All of us just stared at this thing floating around, it passed within 20 feet of us at one point. That's when my oldest brother said "let's go NOW". We jumped in the car and tore outta there like a bat outta hell. Once we got on the main road, the object closed the distance we were to the road instantly. It followed the car for about 1 mile and then stopped it's chase and slowed down and slowly went back to the cemetery. We did not speak of this until the next day, and we thought it could have actually been our Dad shooing us away to go home (it occurred at night). One thing is for sure we all decided that thing was not fake, nor was it random, it made turns and accelerated and decelerated, it passed through some of the head stones but went around others, freakyist shit I've ever seen!

Re: Ghost sightings....

I enjoy watching Most Haunted on FTN, it can be quite creepy at times especially when that psychic medium bloke starts doing his party piece.

Re: Ghost sightings....

The house we lived in when we were children was the site of many unexplained happenings. Things went missing all the time, whispers in the house in the middle of the night. After finding my sister asleep in the basement, she claimed to have been dragged there while dreaming of it by an unknown woman. I saw an apparition one night in our room that fit the description my sister had given us of the woman.

When people tell me they've experienced similar things I can't help but think, "What a bullshitter!" But then I think about that. I would've convinced myself it was bullshit as well if my sister hadn't had her own experience with the mystery woman.

Re: Ghost sightings....

LOL.

My Mum said when I was 4 I used to stare into the dark attic opening in the ceiling.

And I used to tell her I was talking to Mrs Old.

Most of it, yes, but you have to agree that there are things out there that can't be explained, at least not yet.

Re: Ghost sightings....

I've seen a couple things in the sky I couldn't explain, but that's about it.
