    We live in my grandparents home in Fort Worth, Texas. I was very close to them, and I was the last person to get a response from her before she died.
    We have had several occurrences in the house but the only one that I actually saw an apparition was when I was getting my son's bed clothes one evening. I glanced out of his room to the top of the stairs and saw a woman in a formal black dress walk by toward our bedroom. I went to our bedroom after I saw it and no one was there. At first I thought it was my wife, but as soon as I asked her I realized she had on different clothes. At that moment I questions myself if I really saw something. I remember it distinctly. And I realized it was my grandmother.
    This experience was very comforting. I knew who it was and why she was there. It told me there is something beyond here. Something very good. And, they are aware of us here. I never feel alone in this house.

    I remember being stalked by a short dark entity when I was a child in elementary school.
    I could only watch him out of the corner of my eyes on certain days. He would stand in the doorway at school and stare at me.
    He had a hood on his head and I named him the weaver because his hands kept moving like he was knitting something.
    It was really freaking me out in the library one day and I couldn't do my work.
    I thought about telling an adult but I knew they wouldn't believe me.
    So I prayed to God to make it go away from me and leave me alone.
    It did. It went away from me and didn't show up anymore.

    I have never told anyone this. There was a piano bar at a five star hotel in downtown Fort Smith, Arkansas.
    I was employed there for years. Working in the kitchen mostly. When I went through the piano bar nightly, I will just put it out there that I saw a man named George Maledon every night.
    George was Judge Isaac C Parkers hangman, 150 years ago.
    I know what I saw, it is 30 years later, and I should go back to see if George Maledon still goes in there.
    I swear.

    My mom told me before she died she would try to haunt me so that I would finally know if ghosts were real. It was more about her believing and me being skeptical. So she said she would do a certain thing so I would know it was her and not some other random ghost. It hasn’t happened yet and it has been 10 years. My mother was totally the type of person that would derive glee driving people crazy and scaring them so she could be busy with all of that.

      My grandmother told my mom and my two aunts that when she died she would run a finger down one of “the girls” feet to let them know she was ok.
      I didn’t know this until shortly after she died I felt that someone was around (at this point I didn’t know she was even dead….she died at the hospital after a short illness I came to find out after.)
      I felt a presence went eh no different then normal and went to sleep. I woke up to a finger being dragged up my foot. I kicked…looked around…no one. I was just having a dream how she wanted to travel with my grandfather(who died a couple of years before) I urgently called my mom and she started crying telling me the story how my grandmother would always tell my mom and my aunts if she was ok she would touch their feet. Then we called the step grandfather to confirm that she passed. The dream was bc she needed help..my step grandfather kept her on his alter (until he passed a couple of years later) instead of releasing her ashes with my biological grandfather (my mom pleaded with him..”she was my property I will do what I wish” was his response and then took him to court which she lost they were married after all)
      My grandmother is free now with my grandfather at peace wherever they shall roam together. My mom took both their ashes and released them where they previously asked to be released.
      She would also tell my roommate when I was speeding dangerously by throwing razor blades and shaving cream at them. They would call and be like can you slow down we are afraid to go down the hallway…the shaving cream hurts. 😂
      I miss her spunk.

The man likes to play with my hair, I get a chill then my hair is tossed onto my shoulders, we also see him walk from the living room to the front door. The little girl has spoken to my husband a few times and when our son is in his room, we hear him talking to someone, but when we open his door no one else is in there, he just says his friend had to leave, our son is 29 and autistic. I'm Native American and Scottish, my husband is Native American and English, I grew up on my reservation and I've seen and heard things that are really creepy. Very few things actually scare me

    I am a life long Tennessee resident and grew up with the legend of The Bell Witch. There is something shivering about Adams. It’s a precious town for certain but there’s just something unexplainable there. I’ve traveled quite a bit and have been fortunate to experience many “haunted” locations. The Winchester Mystery House, Alcatraz, The Lalaurie Mansion in New Orleans. I even spent the night in Lizzie Borden’s home but there is nothing as chilling as the country setting of Adams Tennessee.

    These are all great. The Bell Witch and the one about the lady who was followed by the poltergeist seem both easily explainable as someone with a grudge trolling the people involved. "Kate" obviously had a grudge against some family members and not others, implicating a scornful or jealous family member "haunting" the living out of spite or revenge.
    The one about Jackie started up when she left her ex. Then it stopped when they got back together. Then it started again when they broke up suggesting the ex was messing with Jackie to scare her back into needing him again.

    The Headless Horseman is as famous as the Bell Witch. Since I live in Tennessee, the state capitol is also haunted but only the upper rooms below the tower. When I was a kid you had free reign to go just about anywhere in the capital except the tower. I was actually chased out of those rooms by an unseen presence but could feel someone touching me to push me out of the room into the hallway. The door slammed behind me. A security guard actually saw me come out of the room and started laughing. He knew exactly what happened and told me it happened to him so he just doesn't go in those rooms unless has another person with him.

    I think it’s their energy. I encountered 1 when I was doing OT. About 20 years before a Facilities worker told me the tunnels were haunted. She didn’t say anything more than that. We have different sets of them at the University I worked at. About 10 PM I went down the ones I’ve used for 30 years to get something I needed. As I got out of that section I felt a presence behind me. Because it dead ended right behind me I knew no one was there but I looked behind me. It seemed to follow me all the way down. Man did that spook me.

    I live in Iraq and have seen a Dark Watcher or as I call him a shadow man. I am a teacher and had many experiences with this entity. I am a Muslim and pray 5 times a day. My room always seemed cold and there were some seats my students refused to sit in. Once a students seat was pulled away from her and she fell on the floor. I was meditating between classes one day when I was attacked and hit extremely hard on my shoulder but thwre was no one there. Thw same day a fan turned itself on and it qqs not plugged in. The door knocked but there was no one there. Later on another student ran out of the class claiming something was playing with his hair , this student refused to study in the class. All this happened on thw same day. The Institute's kitchen was also haunted. Finally our Institute had to move. I should say many people say they would not study there. They all say the shadow man

      I spent some time in Iraq, different terms obviously. Mybvehicle was what we called rat patrol. We were 200-300 meters ahead of our convoy to watch for ambushes, IED and other obstructions or dangerous situations. We escorted a Chaplin from one FOB to another. On our return, we had the back of our truck full of boxes of Bibles to restock the Chaplin's area. I was standing in the gunners hatch and we were hit by a rigged up 40mm mortor. It bounced off the ground and edge between where my feet/legs were and the transmission. I wasn't a very spiritual person at that time, my mother was. She swore it was Yeshua who protected my crew and myself. Under realistic circumstances, I should at least be without legs. The RPG did not have enough rotation to arm the fuse. The vehicle had to be towed back to our FOB by our mechanics and their wrecker. That's when they realized that there was still a live 40mm motor wedged in there where I stood.

    I've been skeptical of the existence of ghosts for most of my life. Shared hallucinations, a brief glimpse in the corner of your eye, carbon monoxide poisoning, low frequency sounds, or even hallucinations caused before a seizure. The possible causes are endless. However a ghost sighting witnessed by my grandmother in the 1920's seemed to break all the expected explanations. She swore that as a little girl her family was coming home from a family funeral. After everyone got inside the house a ghostly form within an open casket set upright blocked the door. At first it was completely solid, but then over the course of an hour slowly became transparent and eventually fading away entirely. It was the only way in or out of the house and so blocked everyone from leaving if they wanted to. This was not a fleeting moment. It was witnessed by multiple people. And the area it occured in had no signs of paranormal activity before or after the event.
    I'm sure there's a logical answer, but that one always was a head scratcher.

      One was a strong feeling of someone suddenly standing behind me. I'm just thinking "why does it feel like someone I know?" Then I started thinking I was going a bit crazy but my friend sitting across from me suddenly said "I can feel it too"
      We say like that for a few minutes until whatever it was went away.
      The second time we were talking about my friends girlfriend and how her ex passed away several years ago and all of a sudden we all feel someone in the room. Like all of us at the same time and we all kept looking towards the same part of the room. Someone said "it's *friends new girlfriends ex) and out of nowhere the dog starts yelling and running away from some unseen hand and that went on for at least a minute
      Do I believe in "ghosts"? Idk but there's something going on that we haven't discovered yet. The supernatural is just the natural not yet explained

From the many similarities to the guys earlier case, that was made into a Hollywood movie, to the many inconsistencies, like claiming theres no wind, while wind chimes are heard, and my personal "favorite", thats the so-called entity is described as an old man, yet by their own claims, he was born in either 1902 or 1912 and murdered in 1930, which would make him either 18 or 28 years old, when he died. Hardly an old man.

    Than this young girl floated away before my eyes. That's when I realized she was dead. At that time there was no indication she was a ghost.

    Shadow people are a common observation by even people who have never heard of such a thing and are seen everywhere, around the world, even in homes. I think it has to either be an artifact of the human brain or something that is actually there but we don't yet understand. I'm sure many sightings are simply a misinterpretation of a shadow or something but most couldn't possibly be. They are a very interesting subject.

    - The ghost blamed a distant family member.
    - The ghost slapped the children and others at night.
    - The ghost apparently poisoned the husband and killed him.
    - The ghost mostly identified with a female name.
    So... what are the chances the wife was crazy and killed her husband?

She was wearing a blue coat wrapped around her face. She could have been 8-9. She was staring not at me but through me. I thought she was lost. She started to step away and i open my door to help her out. She vanished! In front of all of us. I heard later a few kids were run over and killed. She looked like from the 80's.
