Who here has ever had a ghostly experience. Once I had a ghost knock on my door, it knocked twice but I could not go at the moment to see who was at the door. About 30 seconds later I went and no body was there. I ask my wife and she said she did not here any thing, that is strange because the knocking I heard was very loud and persistent.
When I walked around back to see who was knocking, there was no body there. My mom says that no body was back at her house so there was no body who could have knocked.

I have had the strange smell like smoke in my house but me and my wife do not smoke.

The dog once was looking into the kitchen and wagging her tail as if she was looking at someone or something that I could not see.

Please share your experiences with me. If you want I can tell you some experiences that my mom has had.
She has had a lot more experience than I have had.
 
When I was young, my cousin and I were sleeping at my aunt's house during Christmas. We both thought we saw a vision of Mary on the wall of her living room.

It turned out to be a streetlight streaming through her lace window curtains. :oops
 
I really don't know about ghosts. but I would like to hear more about the OP's mom's stories. As Christians however I really don't know about the ghost stuff because I haven't experienced for myself.
 
When I was a child (10ish) we lived in a house where many people saw some sort of spooky site, including myself.

Upon moving in to the house, I was unloading some things from the moving truck when I saw a man jog past me in jeans, gray hoody, and white sneakers. Didn't see his face. He jogged past me and around to the other side of our minivan.

I went around to investigate, but there was no one there. I looked under the car and around some bushes.

If you saw this drive way you would see that it would be impossible for anyone to just disappear into thin air like that. No where to hide.

Other people would see lights on when pulling up, and then they would turn off. My mom saw shadows in our basement moving around on a few occasions.

People had different sitings like this the whole time we lived there.

I do not believe in ghosts, yet can't explain what I saw.
 
I think that we should be careful with topics like this. Demonic activity is a serious thing, not something to be toyed with and we should never make light of it. We may just be doing it for fun, but when we dwell on such things I think we leave ourselves open for spiritual attacks, it's like we are inviting it. Not to mention, if we are getting entertainment from "ghost" stories (which I believe are nothing short of demonic in nature) how much glory are we bringing to God?

Just my thoughts... :)
 
Ever since I was a little kid, I have liked and was fascinated with ghost stories, and now That I am a Christian, I find it even more fascinating because I know what lies on the other side, While it is true that we should be careful about demons, I am not scared of them because I know the Lord will protect me and stands by my side. If God is for me who can be against me, right?? Jesus is more powerful than any demon on any day!!!
I also think it is very good and that it is our responsibility to learn about the supernatural world because when the devil tries to attack us we will already know his game plan. In any war, you are to know your enemy. The Word of God is the strongest weapon we have to fight against
demonic spirits. Therefore, it is ok if I want to watch a documentary on Ghost and evil spirits. The Lord Jesus is my light and every demon in hell flees in terror from His Glory.
 
My mom has had a few encounters with dark spirits. One breathed on her neck. She turn around and no one was there. She has had blood come out of her mouth and looked for some kind of cut but she was not cut, she has never found out were the blood came from. Her sheets were cut to ribbons by a pare of sizers, she woke up and her sheets were all cut up with the sizers were laying on the side of the bed when she woke up in the morning. She went to my brothers house to leave a note on the door and she said that she saw some one walking and running around in the house and could see shadows moving around in the house. She called but no one answered her. Later my brother told her that there was no one there that could have been home to knock. My brother and his girlfriend heard foot steps coming down the hall way toward there bed room, my brother grabbed a chair and was going to hit who ever was in the hall way when it got close enough to their bed room, but just before it entered the bed room it stopped just on the other side of the wall. My brother look around the corner still with the chair in his hand and there was nothing there. When they would get home from somewhere and pull up to park, the lights would be on and when they would get out of the car the lights would go off by themselves before they could get inside. The girl who lived there before shot herself to death in the drive way. The boyfriend got another girlfriend. They were still living in the same house. They would wake up in the morning and all of the close would be pulled off all the cote hangers, they moved out. Today the building has been turned into an office building.
 
Yes, I've had an experience lately, but before I state that, I want to say good video, Misfit. Some of those may be real spirits. I'm more skeptical of faces in smoke because whenever you look at smoke pictures (e.g. war picture of Israel with Hamas) one can see countless faces as the billowing smoke changes shape. I think our minds tend to find such images as it is a known psychological mechanism. I know I see lots of faces in things all the time, even in my floaters :D Also, the pictures of the orbs can be cold plasma, a cousin to ball lightening, or even dust. I can go out in my backyard at night and photograph orbs at any given time, but they are not supernatural. There's an interesting site call http://www.orbstudy.com that even has experiments in making them!

All that being said, I do believe that some of those pictures in the video may have been manifestations, such as the white streak above the person in the hospital bed, and the frames were still shots taken about one second total time.

That reminds me, at work I saw a black streak move across the hallway from the manager's office, and two other technicians saw it in their room at different times. I always believed that the place was severely haunted, and others believe that as well. I wish I could say more about the black streak, but what I can say is that it was FAST and NOT in my peripheral vision, but right in front of me where there was no glare either from my glasses or any other light source. I even tried to duplicate the phenomenon by duplicating my movements but could not. Sometimes I see things at the sides of my eyes and find it is an optical distortion from my glasses or something in my peripheral vision that if I duplicate the move I see it again. But in this case, I could not. So one has to be careful. I am not adamant that this was a manifestation of some sort, but I keep an open mind.

What are they? My personal belief is that they are poltergeists, shadow people or whatever one wants to call them. And a poltergeist is none other than a demon in paranormal jargon. When quoting the bible, I often use Satan/demons and poltergeists interchangeably so that this generation understands since the idea of devils and Satan is downplayed, but they understand a poltergeist and its unimaginable power. The fallen angels in Genesis 6 mated with human women and created hybrids (and in apocryphal literature they are called "Watchers"). If this sounds far-fetched, then consider stories today about the "Hat Man" spirit that "watches" people (usually in their dark bedroom), poltergeists (and where do they hang out? usually teenage girls or young women), and "alien reproductive experiments" and the incubus and succubus legends. Even Jesus said "as in the days of Noah"---- and what happened then? The sons of God came unto daughters of men. Creepy. There may be FAR more to this ghost stuff than meets the eye. Although people have varying opinions, I like the demonologists Loraine and Ed (now deceased) Warren. Lots of creepy stuff happened to them in their investigations.

Here's another good video I found that fits here.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6trH81xpko

Yes, thanks for that clip. I enjoyed it. The first ghost looked like a famous singer, like maybe Donna Summers sleepwalking. :D The manifestation at 1:40 in the garage behind the car is a typical shadow person (or sometimes poltergeist). And if it wasn't one, then someone has a very poorly tuned car to blow out that much black smoke and oil! :D
 
Demons mimic the dead; there's no such thing as disembodied humans that haunt people, places, or things.

Exactly, and people should be careful with what they entertain. Demonic activity is nothing to play with or invite.

That's how I feel too. I watch these videos because so many of them are just so fake it makes me laugh, others however are hard to explain I my self have seen things I can only describe as demons.
