Rut Ro a Ghost!

[Lets Roll]

I wish I could show the video but I would get fired. I just got out of a meeting at work about security camera video. A tool box that was sitting in the same place for an hour fell on a guy. He was a few feet from it and did not touch it. It looked like it was pushed over from the video. He did have a drawer partly open but it was only screw drivers and light stuff. The wheels were fine we checked this one out good. I gotta admit this one was weird. Also had a video a few months ago in a -20 freezer with a shadow moving in front of the camera we had a meeting about. Anybody else got some weird work ghost stories?

Its spirits that are at unrest for some unknown reason. In around 1970 a very close friend had his dad pass away suddenly.
He told me some time after the passing there were strange unexplained things taking place in the house. His mom would feel the bed move as if someone got in bed with her. That happened more than once. Other times the dog would act strange howling and running around for no apparent reasons.
The story that got me was my friend started to use his dads car to go to work in. The son was bigger than the father was so my friend had the seat way back. In those days there were two very popular AM radio channels that played rock and roll. So of course my friend had that station playing all the time on the radio. His dad of course had his own favorite radio station
Again more than once he would drive the car to work, lock it and come out to it at the end of the day. to find the seat pushed forward and the radio station on his dads favorite station
But it all took a tragic turn. His mother was in mourning about the passing of her husband and always felt his presence in the home, often it was not a pleasant experience. They. had a priest come and bless the house to no avail
His mom in around 1972 needed minor surgery. My buddy had two brothers and a sister. One brother was young, under 10. The mother sat him down and told him that mommy may not be coming home from the hospital
She had her surgery and was being transported by a orderly. They we're in a elevator going to a different floor. This lady and God bless her she was just so kind. She vomited and the orderly panicked, hitting every button to get to any floor to get help. My buddy mom Mrs T. choked to death.
In the summer of 73, I just came home from my active duty. My buddy's girlfriend was pregnant and they married. I was in the wedding party.
They had the reception in a American Legion hall. The grief of his mom dyeing months earlier, all that stress turned into a celebration of a marriage and a new life being brought into the world.
Even my parents who were there, normally very conservative and reserved, partied like I never saw before. I had the best time with my future wife who was young blond and beautiful. I have tears in my eyes as I type this.
The strange happens stoped after Mrs T passed. Her grandson was born and life went on
The jewish people believe in the afterlife and so do I . They believe the body dies but the soul lives on. God bless Mrs T. I wish you were still round and miss you

After our first Bengal cat got cancer and had to be put to sleep ( tore me up bad )
I could hear him run down the hallway. I blame it on missing him so much, but it was creepy.

I used to live in town. One of the houses I lived in was haunted. Id see human forms, shadows.. things like that.
Doors and cupboards would slam shut. A few times somebody would knock repeatedly on the front door.
Thing was, I lived alone. Snd I could never see who did it.
I found out that the house use to belong to the town drunk. His wife would lock him out of the house and he would bang on the front door for hours. One night he was stumbling home drunk from a party and somebody ran him over, dead as disco. So I concluded that the house I use to rent was haunted by the ghost of the town drunk circa 1980.
True strory.

Kidding but never saw anything like this. I did however see a UFO.

Many years ago while working in London in an old historical pub, my wife and a couple of others regularly saw the ghost of a young girl. True story...even the old cleaning lady had seen her at times. It was a pub that survived the Great Fire of London. We used to hear all sorts of weird noises at night when things were quiet....and sometimes screams.

The pub is called "Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese" - claimed to have Samuel Johnson as one of it's patrons - the man credited for writing the first dictionary. There is a seat and a room named after him.

Directly across the alley from the pub front door is the shop where Sweeney Todd murdered many people in his barber shop.

Here's a picture of my wife and I taken in the Cellar bar during a staff function...(1990)

Sorry....don't believe in Ghosts......especially if it's my ex wife

"Ghost" stories, eh? Well, we are oftentimes surrounded by various presences. I won't call them exactly
ghosts, but they do exist. Just a matter of being awake enough/receptive enough to detect them is all.
I'll give you one real quick...
Back in '92, my mama went into the hospital with pneumonia and exhaustion.
Despite being in the ICU, doc said she'd be ok with rest. I had come down to visit her but had to leave and
get back home that Sunday evening for work the next day.
As my (now ex-) wife and I got ready to go, mama awoke out of her sedative-induced sleep and reached for
me to come close, the first time she'd been awake that day.
I leaned over and asked "what's up, mama?" Like I always did with her.
She smiled weakly at my familiar little loving query, then asked me if I was ok.
I was genuinely puzzled by that; I jokingly blurted out "ME? I'm fine, mama, YOU'RE the one in the hospital!"
Stupid me....
She was making sure I was ok so she could let go and go on her way, which she did the next day.
I didn't catch that at the time. Density factor HIGH in me that moment....

Anyways, naturally her passing left all us kids pretty much floored, me especially (a proud mama's boy).
I was genuinely having a real hard time with it - until a couple weeks after the funeral.
I was dead asleep in the middle of the night, the kind of sleep we do when we're totally exhausted, when
I suddenly awoke, startled, the kind of awakening you do when you sense something is happening.
There at the end of the bed was mama, looking not sick at all, smiling.
Not quite fully awake, I said "what's up, mama?" like I always did, not recalling she had passed.
She grinned like she always did when I asked that, then asked me if I was ok - just like in the hospital.
And just like dumbass dense me said in the hospital, I said "me? I'm fine mama, you're the sick one!"
She gave a tug to the end of my blanket (she always did that, too) and then she was gone...
I fell back asleep like nothing had happened.
About 5 minutes later, I REALLY woke up and realized what had just gone on.
Mama had come to check on me one last time and everything would be a little easier from then on -
and they were.

Still miss you like hell, Mama...

My sons former home in Suffolk, VA was haunted.
His daughter refused to sleep in her room.
The dog wouldn't go in there.
Then his wife saw someone standing outside a window. She walked straight to the window and no one was there. The neighbor was outside and saw nothing.
Then they would hear footsteps upstairs, which was empty and the only way there was to pull down the steps. They put talcum on tbe floor. Next time they heard steps they looked. Sure enough there were tracks in the powder.
They did some research and found the original resident hanged himself from a tree in the back yard.
They planted a tree in that spot and everything stopped.
Then there is the stuff my son experienced aboard USS Enterprise.....

Well I got tons !
The place I used to work was haunted! There was a grave yard across the street and I'm told used to be where the truck shop was long ago till it got moved!
Anyways
So one time me and co worker fixing a steam roller his cell phone sitting on top .out of no where it lit up and punched in 666 ? Ok cell phones are strange.we laughed at it, I said his wife was trying to msg him!
We let it go .
Another night I was under a dump truck I hear something and look over ifs bare black feet walking around! ??? I get up to tell whoever to put there shoes one the guy disappears .
Ok maybe Im working to many hours?
So a different nite me and a co worker are running night shift just the two of us
We're in the brake room 1st floor we hear heavy foot steps above us going back and forth from the boss' office to the front office!
The up stares are locked only me and the boss have the keys for this office and his office only he has these keys ! So we think someone is up there stealing computer s we see shadow in windows we go up all doors locked no one in there looked around out front open land no one around for a mile !
At this point I ask the black guy who's family used to own the land after graveyard. He tells me his great grandfathers house was where our shop office is and around where I saw feet is where his garden used to be !
So I said well at least he's friendly. So every day I would say hello to him by the garden area.(he never said nothing back)

Well last time I had a run it . We were swinging a dump trucks eng in place and I was by the fire was to set the line up bars when my helper pulled the wrong leaver on our crain and swung eng in my leg was between eng and firewall it hit hard ! I felt a warm feeling and a reassuring voice I've never heard before! Once eng was moved I got pulled out behind my leg the firewall broke (it shouldn't have!)
And that warm feeling was gone to .
I was 100% fine I am 100%sure my black ghost friend helped me out !

So enough with work
I had this great German Shepherd he passed I used to see him all the time at my old house (where he died)

I've always questioned about the reality of spirits vs religion.

Also, if someone sees someone deceased they usually see them as they looked the last year of their life. Is that the mind just portraying what they remember them looking like? Why not younger?

 

[moparedtn]

No, but Iirc a lot of women did.....

Bada BING!
Hey thanks ladies and germs, I'll be here all week....try the veal!

When mama came to visit, she looked like she did when we were kids actually.
I hadn't even thought about her looking like that in decades...but it seemed perfectly normal at the time.

 

[Cranky]

Never saw anything but used to hear faint music and several people talking and carrying on like there was a party going on. My wife woke up on night and asked them to be quiet which woke me up. I didn't hear anything but several months later I woke up and heard the same stuff. Again, real faintly. When my wife FINALLY left me, I heard it again. How fitting and said y'all can stop now. Haven't heard it anymore. Been here 35 years and have heard it twice but don't know of any history of any deaths here or other weird stuff happening here.

My favorite 88 year old uncle appeared to me in a dream after he had been dead about 4 months. He was backlit by a very bright light so he was kind of in a shadow and was wearing a 40 style suit (think Captain Kangaroo) that seemed to be charcoal colored but with all the stitching around the pockets and the label glowing. The figure had a familiar look but I assumed it was one of my uncle's brothers boys because he appeared to be in his early 20's (I remember thinking that it looked like my uncle but it couldn't be him because he was dead). He was originally some distance away but as he moved closer his face became more visible and I could see he had a huge **** eating grin on his face and all he said was "you will never guess who I am". Well the minute I heard his voice I knew who it was. End of dream. I woke up thinking WTF was that?
