I've always been amazed that people usually only seem to see 'ghosts' who lived in the far and distant past. I believe it is more likely for ghosts to be modern, especially if ghosts are allegedly the result of a sudden & unexpected death, then surely most ghosts should be victims of car accidents, not sure where they should be, and dressed in modern garb. maggie

I wonder, we speak of ghosts, and whether we've seen any, but, and it's a big but, maybe we are the ghosts, and what we think are ghosts, are maybe not. I wonder ? Baz xx

Actually Maggie, I'm with you on that one. A ghost, or spirit, is the same whether he/she is 100 years old , or a day old eh.

I do have 'Orbs' in my house, along with 'smoke', and to be honest, feel quite priveledged. Some of the 'ghosts' we know, so no problems there

Tell me, do any of you actually talk to anyone who has passed, at night maybe ?

I talk to my Grandmother all the time. Also talk to Spirit and Angels - they haven't answered back yet, at least not so I can literally hear them if you know what I mean? Kaye x

Baz, Talk to them at night?......They talk to me but I don't answer. I'm scared to answer incase it opens up something not very nice. Oh yeah....I saw a spirit pop up in the bathroom mirror, when I was naked in the bath, I said, ''Oh No!!! ~ It's the head, no, no, no'', I think that is hilarious!!!! LOL !!!!! No I'm not nuts. X

I'm sure there was a ghost in my old house - my ex husband saw a few things and heard a lot of things. I only ever heard something once or twice, but things were moved or disappeared. We got used to it. Kaye x

Hiya Louise, so really then, by talking to your passed relatives/friends, you're really accepting their exsistance.

Phoenix

Phoenix Report 25 Feb 2007 20:57

I think there are ghosts, or if you prefer Spirits of people who have passed, but what we see aren't always ghosts like that. Isn't there quite a difference in ghosts - some are residual and always attached to somewhere, others drift a bit and some aren't spirits at all - forgotten what they call it, but it's like a scene being played over and over again like the energy is within the walls themselves!

Like you, Kaye, I believe we pass 'ghosts' in the street every day, but don't recognise them as such - which would be why most reportings of ghosts are those dressed in clothes from the past :0) maggie

I do believe that sometimes we most likely see ghosts and don't even realise it! My ex husband saw a Man once and thought he was real until his then Wife asked who he was waving at! Kaye x

Oh~Baz, That's freaky!!! You shouldn't think like that LOL LOL !!!! I've seen Spirits twice, to my knowledge. I got a lace handerkerchief from one, I lived in an old house and there on my pillow, she left me a lace handkerchief, I found out later that that house used to be a haberdashery. Well, I think it's cool.

Star, I don't mean holding a conversation lol, just a 'goodnight Mum' or something like it. I say goodnight to my brother every night. He's never answered me though, but I suppose it makes me feel better, and hopefully he hears me.

I have conversations with spirits all the time.... I chat to Daddy daily, Grandad too and sometimes I chat to whoever I feel is around at the time!! I completely believe there is a life after death and I completely believe that we can't be vain enough to think that there is only one race.... the human kind!! xx

Star Report 25 Feb 2007 21:04

I don't know who they are who speak to me, sometimes I even pick up accents...Like liverpuddlian etc...I manage to hear a few words or a sentence before I get scared, then my heart starts booming and then they're gone.
