A ghost of Hampton Court?

If you think you see a white ghost in the corner of your eye, always check if there isn't some ventilation fan blowing at 19Hz.

You all remember by Matchstick problem, and therefore likely know that I'm only mostly-skeptic when it comes to paranormal stuff like this.

I missed the matchstick story and couldnt find it through a search. Mind retelling it?

Here's some things I found.

Well, there was this one time that I remember. I was in my house, alone, apart from my mother, and had just got out of bed. To cut a long story short - I went downstairs, had some breakfast, and went back to my room.

And there were all these burnt out matches all over the room. Everywhere. With no easy explanation.

-Angry Lawyer

That's odd... Did you ever find out how those matches got there?

Remains a mystery to this day. The worst part of it was the fact the room stank of the sulphurous smell of burnt matches. And there were all these empty matchboxes under the pillow end of my bed. It's put me off matches for life. My mother blames my younger brother, but I'm not sure how he'd have managed to dash home from the local swimming centre, light several hundred matches in the five minuites I was eating breakfast, and dash out again, without being noticed. And I don't think my cat did it, even though she's evil. The only non-supernatural explanation would be if someone broke into my room - but our windows are locking, and the heavy rain outside would have made some sort of evidence in the room. Bloody freaky.

Paranormal stuff tends to happen alot to my family.

Now, Lavish me with praise. I crave it.
 
i have a few stories for ya

1st, A college friend of mine, matt. Matt claims that weird shit happens to him like if he was a weird shit magnet.

Here's something he told me. One day he was alone in his house with a friend of his. He was on one side of the house and a plate of brownies in the kitchen was on the other side of the house. At some point he heard a loud noise. He runs to the kitchen to investigate. The plate of brownies that had left on the table with a serving knife placed atop, was now upside down on the floor on the otherside of the room, with the serving knife placed on top. There was no rational explanation for how it could have flown though the air, flipped itself over, and have the knife sitting atop the upturned plate.

This is one from my friend willy. Willy had recieved a Ouiji board from a friend of his. This friend had desperately wanted willy to get rid of this thing for her. Willy not understanding why she was disturbed decided to help her out anyway and took the board. After she left his apartment, willy went over to the balcony and simply flung it away frisbee style (he lives in a rundown part of town, tossing an old boardgame off a 4th story balcony would not really draw much attention) As he was turning to walk back inside his apartment he hears the box land right next to him. (I don't know about you, but boxes aren't exactly aerodynamic, and they certainly don't boomerang) Significantly spooked by this box that had returned to him, he set fire to it and doused the ashes with holy water.

This one is from my mom. My mom is a nurse, she was doing her normal rounds when all of a sudden her keys which were in her hand and her wedding ring are flung down the hallway she was standing in. She wasn't throwing the keys and ring. They literally flew out of her stationary hand. Plus, i've seen my mom's wedding ring. That thing requires the jaws of life, a lot of twisting, and a good helping of soap just to make it budge, let alone get flung 30 feet. Not sure if its related but my mom also seems to ruin the magnetic strips on credit, debit, and security cards just by having them. Its like my mom is some sort of magnetic anomoly.

From my sister. My sister was at a public park that had a small lake in the center of it. It was approaching night time and the park was closing when she and her friends happened to see the peculiar sight of a ball (not sure what kind, i'm assuming those cheap bouncy ones sold in walmarts) rolling uphill up from the lake's shore. She didn't think much of it until she realized there was no wind and no children about. Later she found out that aparantly some kid had drowned in that lake after chasing a ball into it.

This one is mine. My sophmore year of college i had a room all to myself. I was going to sleep one night when before i had even had my eyes closed for 10 minutes I distinctly felt an impact on my chest. Very similar to that which which would be caused by someone throwing a small pillow across a room. Mind you i keep my room locked. There was no one in that room other than myself. Furthermore after a quick and very scared inspection, i found that there had been no physical projectile, just a light impact.

Here's another from matt. After coming home one day his mp3 player flings itself at him, flying about 6 feet.

on another ocassion while he was in his apartment alone the door to his room, the bathroom, and his roomate's room all started to open and shut randomly.

Another from my mom. One day she was going through some mail when an envelope she was holding was suddenly snapped up as if someone had grabbed it.

On another ocassion she claims to have seen someone walking through her peripheral vision while she was alone in the kitchen. the only other people in the house were me and my sister and both os us had been in our rooms at the time.
 
I sincerely doubt ALL these people are lying or that there are rational explanations for all of the stories i presented. This is why i believe in ghosts.
 
My aunt's house is haunted.

Electronic devices like to play in the middle of the night (for example: A keyboard with multiple sound effects playing a laughing effect several times), footsteps up and down a flight of stairs (happens so frequently, now even guests are used to it :|), old people walking around, stuff like that.

You good sir, are godlike.



Angry Lawer, that is an amazing story.
 
Blimey.

Stories about matches, recordings of exorcists, this place is giving me the creeps.

Tomorrow I'm turning my computer desk sideways so the door isn't at my back.
 
Both my parents have seen a Union soldier from the Civil War crouching in the living room of our house. Turns out a battle took place not far from here.

I think i'd have to prove it to myself and stay the night at various "haunted houses" .........if ghosts were real i'd ****ing attack them for a laugh.

Yeah, screw running away... My first instinct when I think I detect an intruder is to rush them head on and catch them off guard... Rather than cowering and giving them an easy time...same goes for ghosts.

It makes sense really, humans act simmilar to other animals in that respect.

You see the difference when you run AT a dog that is aggressive to running away from it whilst panicking.
Funny thing to try, **** around with a dog's head (don't do it with something MASSIVE for obv reasons) ...***n away from it, suddenly turn round, arms in the air bellowing, then run away in a different direction and act strangely.

Animals hate it if you are unpredictable.
 
hah, angry lawer had a matchbox explosion!
I had something simmilar happen when i left a box of matches on my work bench whilst using my gas torch (just used a match to light the flame)

WOOSH!! side of the box split open and matches went everywhere.

Haha I used to mess with my dogs all the time like that. Id run away and they'd chase me, then all of the sudden I'd turn around, face them, and yell while flailing my arms in the air. They would kinda back away and start growling at me lol :D
 
I have fears of undead animals. Cats, dogs. Like I would be up late at night in my house, and i'd walk out of my bedroom door to go get a drink from the kitchen, turn and look down the dark hallway, and see the glowing yellow or red eyes of a mangy, decayed beast. The zombie like skeletal remains of a cat or dog or raccoon.

I'd be thinking sometimes, fondly, about a cat named Charles that died recently in my care. The poor thing was an outside cat, and it got into some chemicals and got really sick, and didn't make it. Poor thing died, and I feel awful about it, really awful. Anyways, I would dream fondly about the cat, since he was so awesome, even though he had poor eyesite. And while I close my eyes thinking of the cat, this fearsome image would pop into my head, and i'd see the cat, evil looking and decayed, lunging at me with a wide mouth full of teeth.

Its like... what the ****, why do I have such an overactive imigination, and why is everything involving it have to be spooky/scary related? At every turn in my life lately i'm thinking of these morbid, scary things and I don't know why.
 
Raziaar, is that fear from the movie pet cemetary?

I never watched pet cemetary growing up. In fact I've only ever seen one of them once, and that was just a couple days ago. Pet cemetary 3 I think, maybe 2. the one with the dead dog that was shot up.

I've had these thoughts before ever seeing that, long before.
 
Hmmm. Thats strange. I dont really find those movies to be scary but I would have easily understood if you aquired that fear after watching one of them as a child. I guess you do have a good imagination.

My mind is constantly bombarded with graphic, highly detailed thoughts of morbid, gruesome things. I could be doing something as simple as watching somebody cut some wood with a bench electric saw or whatever you call it, and be worried cause I get these thoughts of the guy slipping and mutilating himself to death on the blade. All sorts of crazy shit like that, especially in the realm of the spooky/scary. I'm afraid of being in the bathroom in the house when i'm the only one in the house. I have constant thoughts of evil things in the mirror(which I can vividly picture in my mind), or when i'm taking a shower, peering through the curtain I can imigine a 'ring' styled evil girl rising up from the ground, so to counter this when I shower i'm often looking in the direction of the bathroom door because of this horrible imigination.

I don't mind having a great, and powerful imigination, but when it starts to affect my life, like it does all the time with me, I hate it. its caused me to still be afraid of the dark and the unknown, even though I am 20 years old, 21 in may. How sad is that.

Talk to a local hypnotherapist, it might cost a bit, but it will definatley cure you, and most people would give you a refund if it didn't work for some reason. Just ring one up and ask, trust me it would help alot.

Haha I'm the same. Our toilet is parrallel to our bathroom mirror. And when I'm alone in the house I can't go to the toilet without looking in the mirror behind me. Also yeah sometimes scenarios of mundane things become a bit weird for me too. Far overactive imagination. Luckily it hasn't affected me as much as it has you.
 
Well since everyone is sharing I might aswell add these few to the thread. And while it might be a stereotype I have to honestly say being Irish I believe in all of these and most paranormal stuff. Don't know exactly but I think it might have something to due with most of my family and friends also believeing in this.

Righto,
Story one:

My grandfather on my mothers side died quite a few years before i was born of a heart attack. My Aunt had a baby daughter who on the day my grandfather died started crying some point in late evening heading towards night. My Aunt who was in the kitchen went down to comfort the child but heard a mans voice already in there. Thinking it was her husband she went to their bedroom to get ready for bed but in the bedroom was her husband. When she asked how he got here before her he said he hadnt been in with my cousin. My aunt rushed back to find my cousin sound asleep and no one in or around the bedroom, With all the windows securly fastened and apparently no one around.
My aunt found out later that night that her father had died.

So I suppose it could have been My uncle who was joking around or maybe my Aunt was just imagining it but I don't believe that.

Righto thats the personal story, Now about a weird more then likely coincidence one.

The number 1134 is follwing me around. I look randomly at my watch its 11:34am. I check my Ammo in a game I have 11rounds in the clip and 34 left in total. In eve I do damage and I do 11.34dmg or 1134dmg. It has appeared on and off a couple of hundred times in completely random places for no apparent reason. I can't explain it nor do I know its significance.
Its probly just coincidence or my internal clock playing tricks on me but how does it appear so much?

And finally for the widely believed one in Ireland:

Faerie Forts:

Ok this is quite weird and more then likely a string of hoaxes perpetrated by Eviromental Activists but ya never know. Ok there are these rings of trees dotted around the Irish countryside. These are called Faerie forts. Its widely believe thazt cutting down a FF will lead to massive reprecussions and even larger ones if you decided to build on a site where faerie forts were cut down.The only way to fix the problum is to tear down what you have built and to replant the fort.

One example of this happening is in the same neck of the woods(Excuse the pun) as my first story. A man bought some land containing a faerie fort. He had the ff cut down and build a house on top of it. His first morning in his new house he woke up to find all the doors in his house missing. Every Single One of them Including his bedroom door. Gone. Im guessing this freaked him out quite abit cause it did seem like someone would have woken up if they had been removing doors but nope no one woke up at all till the morning.

So ok he reported the apparent theft and had them replaced. First day after they were replaced they were again gone. This continued on and off for months. He'd replaced them and they would disappear. He tried to catch to culprits but had no luck at it. This was before the time of CCTV but needless to say he tried everything to catch these theives but eventually gave up and sold the house.

The next owner tore down the house and replanted the fort and turned it into farming land. Sans the new fort.

Not sure if the above is entirely true but there are many more stories of inexplicable happenings surronding these rings of trees.

I don't keep matches in my room (I don't keep matches at all), and it's before I started smoking cigars (and even then, I'm a lighter user). I've looked at every possible outcome, and none of them really work.

Honestly, I'm pretty skeptical, but what happened still throws me.

why the hell are people constantly saying "scalar waves" is this some sort of joke that i am not familiar with. If so what is the origin? I had thought that i was ahead of the nerd curve but it seems i have catching up to do.

****ing A.

I was just talking to my dad earlier. And we were looking at a wall, which had some sort of glossy part that I saw. Apparently someone had to do a touchup job on it. Anyways, it reminded him of something.

He told me about our old place, in Long Beach CA. My dad, my brother, my mom and me lived in the bottom story of a two story house(along with my dad's friends family on the bottom floor. We kind of shared the payment). On the top story, my Aunt Deborah and her family(3 boys, and husband) lived.

Anyways, my dad was saying that he remembered this one time, and was reminded, about my aunt debbie who said that she would sometimes feel the presence of a small little boy. About the height/age of her youngest son(who is also my height/age), in the dark of the house sometimes and even daytime. But when she would turn around or peer more closely, nothing would be there. My dad said he heard somebody walking upstairs one time at night, and went up there with a gun, because nobody was supposed to be up there, as my my aunt's family, nobody was up there at the time. They were on vacation or something. But he heard somebody walking around upstairs while noone was home.

And they were painting the house once, and after it was all dried, there was one part that nobody had been around all day long, that was still fresh wet paint up near the ceiling, when everything else had dried.

I guess they believe that the house was haunted by the ghost of a little boy.

Which is kind of creepy, because I know people have died on that street before, just not exactly near our house. Up the street a ways, there was this criminal who was evading the police one day, and he was speeding down the road and ran over a little boy, killing him. The criminal took a family hostage down on the next block, where they had a shootout or whatever with the police. I don't think anybody else died, but that little boy died(wasn't sure on the timeframe) and there was a chalk outline for a while we saw everytime we walked to school.
