yes, my gran was standing at the bottom of my bed at 5.05 one morning, she smiled and gave me a small wave, later my husbands dad came round and said to phone my mum, i said thanks and told him my gran died this morning, when i got the death certificate it said she died at 5.05, i had been to visit her the day before and she just kept looking at me and holding my hand, she started to silently cry as i was leaving, i told her i loved her but i would be okay, she just took my hand and gave it a squeeze, a stroke a few weeks before left her unable to speak. i hope she went to a better place and was happy.

We once lived in a house where someone would wake us calling "Hello down there" from the top of the stairs and we would be woken suddenly in the night by someone whispering our names into our ears.

Several people on unrelated occasions, including my very sceptical and sensible husband, told us they saw or sensed 'ladies in white dresses' in the basement. It was a Georgian House dating from 1730 and before we lived there it had been a maternity hospital and a girls' school. Dogs, and on one occasion a visiting child, absolutely refused to go down into into the basement level where our bedroom, bathroom and utility room were.

On several occasions we lay in bed and saw sparks fly from the sockets and ghostly 'flames' lick across the ceiling !!!

Last month I returned to the street and stayed in a hotel exactly opposite the old house....after not hearing it for decades I was woken by a whisper in my ear.

Reading this back it seems crazy but it's all absolutely true.

Well they lived there for a year and he never mentioned any more visitations ? My brothers would have been infants there and nothing bothered them!

Not all those officers could be wrong about it being haunted and not one of them wanted to live rhere!

No but my DF said he did. Not long after they were married parents lived in military quarters. They were put into officers quarters (he was a corporal) and told they were the only quarters available. He always said he saw a woman in a long grey dress walk into the kitchen carrying a lamp and walk out through the wall. He was a very down to earth Glaswegian not given to much imagination. One day he mentioned it to someone he worked with and was told yes, the house was haunted, no officers would live there. Some time later he found the house was built on the site of a nunnery that had been attacked by someone or other and the nuns killed. None of us have ever been quite sure what to make of it, as he never saw any thing else.

Wow so interesting got goosebumps

I hope there are more to come

I have another

My grans mother was cooking one day and her grandchildren came in running so scared, trying to get words out, what's the matter she asked, we have seen a lady she had a black dress, she was so scary my great grandma said, don't be scared she has come for me, meaning death, two days later she died, this is the story my Nan told me, never forgotten it

Best peaceful feeling ever

No because I don’t believe there is anything that isn’t in your own mind

I haven’t but my mum did when she was about 18 cycling to work early one morning with her sister. They both saw it. When the got to work each asked the other had she seen what she saw.Mum always said she didn’t care if you believed her or not, she knew what she had seen. It was a figure in white with a shining light down the front that glided along, reached the corner where they could see both ways and disappeared. She later discovered an old lady had died in the house opposite a few days before. She was found sitting on the stairs in a long white nightdress holding a torch shining down her front.

I used to see a black cat that wasn't real in a friend's house. Hadn't been hers. Must have belonged to a previous owner.

MerylStreep Sun 16-Jan-22 19:50:59

Yes, 2. Bizarrely one was a cat. The cat one was a bit embarrassing. The cats owner was a woman that I had been having massage from for some time.
I knew the cat had been unwell. I went to her house one day and twiddles was on the sofa.
I said to the masseuse oh, I see twiddles is ok, no, came the reply, twiddles died
I told her what I had seen which made her very happy.
I knew of the person I saw.

Just before my Nan died she said she could see my grandad, she said he had come back for her
