Not my story, but my pops.

One night my pops comes home from work, had a beer or two, ate his supper, watched some boob-tube and went to bed. The next more morning he tells me that he had a vivid dream about one of his good buddies. In the dream his buddy walked into his bedroom, sat at the edge of his bed and told him "Hey pal, just relax, everything will be okay. Now go back to sleep." He said it was an odd dream to have. He found out later that day that his buddy had died the evening before in a car wreck, obviously back in the days before smart phones or internet. He told me he was sad about losing his friend, but for some reason just not as sad as maybe he should be. He was convinced the ghost of his buddy came to visit him one last time.

That's an interesting story!
 
In honor of Lenny's Friday Fives questions, I thought it would be neat to have a place to post our ghostly and paranormal experiences!! So what have you seen and experienced???
Thanks Pearl. I took a course in Ventura (California) college called Ghosts and Hauntings, given by Richard Senate. He is on Facebook using his name.

yes, but I've posted the one I experienced before here on the forum when I was a young teen. That was a ghost story.
I dream about my family members who have died, but it is never anything weird or scary. I feel like they're checking in on me and letting me know everything is okay.
I've had spiritual experiences that I may or may not have shared here that had to do with being made aware of my nephew's death. So unreal and sad feeling. A couple of days after he passed away (car accident), I was having a dream about him visiting us, it startled me, I woke up crying. My husband comforted me, then we fell back to sleep. A little while later my husband woke up with a jump and WEIRDLY his dream started where mine had left off. My nephew, I felt, didn't want us to forget about him. He was 18.
I don't call it intuition on some of these, I call it being warned or made aware from the other side.
 
The only paranormal experience I have ever had was the one I posted in Friday Fives, but I heard a very good one from a friend of friends.

This couple was managing the restaurant and gift shop in an old estate that was haunted. The husband was working in the gift shop when an electric floor fan went on by itself. That was unusual enough, but what made it even more strange the fan wasn't plugged in.
 
If anyone is in Santa Barbara on a Sunday, stop by the Spiritualist Church of the Comforter and attend the service. Part of the service is someone pointing to people and asking if they want a reading. If you say yes then you get a short message from the spirit world.
 
Grandpa’s aunt read tea leaves and told him, among other things, how many kids he and each of his brothers would have, before any kids were born.

Dad used to do table tipping.

Various dead family members have visited various living family members.

As a kid I had several OBE’s (out of body experiences).
 
Fun that you did bring that thread PEARL :)

Its maybe not a story...but this probably did happened in my mind
cuz I dont really believe in things like it

The whole week ( from day 1) after someone died,
that person and I were very very close and that I really loved

It happened for a whole week every day ..I was not scared but I was thinking
maybe my grieving was too deep ... and my mind was playing games to me
who knows...

Each time I was alone and quiet reading something or a book..I was feeling
like someone was behind me and sometimes almost breathing close to my neck

Then I was stopping reading and not moving ..then I was turning my head to see
and there was nothing and it was stopping

Weird...it never happened after ( this did last for a whole week though !)
 
I have posted numerous times about my experiences growing up in an antebellum house with 8 ghosts.
Too many to hunt down and copy and paste here. :(
Not a great place to grow up:

When I had a college course on ghosts back in the 1908s, I was told that ghosts are residual energies from someone who had a tragic death. The professor,Richard Senate, said that if you confront the ghost and say something like, "You're dead. You don't exist anymore, so go away" it usually will go away forever.
Again, ghosts are a residual energy, not someone's soul.

I've heard similar such things.
 
You'd be surprised how after years, 'paranormal stuff' becomes normal. Example:
Three teenagers are playing cards on the dining room table.
Suddenly the closed and latched room door swings wide open.
One kid: "Whut tha' hell was that?!!!"gaah
Other kid: "Mamaw Hatch. Now shuddup and deal".
First kid: "Should I deal her a hand?"
Other kid: "Of course".
*True story. She didn't play well and chose to fold. I think she just wanted to watch.
Another example:
We were in the gun room in the big house loading ammo.
My brother had left his keys on the work bench.
He got ready to leave and they were gone! :oops:
He looked everywhere in the room and finally found them on the mantle.
There is no way he would have put them up there.
He looked at me and said: "Mamaw Hatch"! :rolleyes:
I just nodded.
Normal. Everyday.

I think they are energy from any death!! I also think we all leave some form of residual energy! Reincarnation 🤔

Of course we do!
And, contrary to popular beliefs, most of it is good. :)
Like in the story I told of "Happy Ghosts":dancing:.
