I have felt like someone was watching me a few times but I think that’s kind of normal human behavior. The mind plays tricks on you when the senses are heightened. Plus the house has huge windows.
Old houses make noise and do weird stuff. I just say “Lord protect us and this home from evil” and go back to sleep.[/QUOTE]
Do you have a dog in the room I
Spiritually speaking I’m not sure where ghosts would fit although I have my own theory that they are demonic manifestations. However, I don’t know what would be the point in seeing an old confederate soldier or a ghost ship. The disciples thought Jesus was a ghost when He was walking on the sea so it’s definitely an old belief.

Some of y'all are weird. I'm not sure about Cyrus, but I think it'd be fun to visit his palace. He kills stuff in National Geographic and has mansions he's not been in, town halls and slaughter houses. Not sure anyone could be any cooler. He's like the Ted Turner of New Zealand.
Cyrus is definitely the most interesting person on this website.
I've seen the stereotypical "ghost" in tattered, old timey clothes. My dad was with me and saw it too. Just standing by a tree, swaying back and forth like he was shifting his weight from one leg to the other. It matched up with a similar story from the property from the 50s. No backstory or tragic happening that we know of to make it a great story, and nothing in the 50 years between sightings, but no doubt I saw something strange.
I've gotten to be friends with an old man down the road outside of town that lives on his family's property. He has about 3 different haints he's seen or encountered a few times over the years according to him. One is the running footsteps down the hall and off the back porch, one is the young woman in the window (he figured out her name after recognized a picture of her in the old church scrapbook from the late 1800s; he won't say her name above a whisper), and the last one is the bedroom door slammer. He says it's slammed about 4 times in his 60 years. He was telling the stories of how it has happened, and no sooner than he finished, the door slammed 15 feet away. That'll make you a believer.
Another good friend lived in a bicentennial farm house around Cameron for a stretch. The house used to be owned by his grandmother's friend before she died relatively recently. He had incidences where he left for work before sunrise and all lights were off, but the upstairs lights (where he didn't even go often) were on when he got home. It got to where he had to take the lightbulbs out. There were also the typical footsteps. Once they got bad enough that folks staying over for the weekend up and left in the middle of the night. When he was alone one night and the footsteps were walking around his bed, he said "Hello Mrs. Smith, I'm Mrs. Betsy's grandson, and I enjoy living in your house, and I don't mean any trouble." He didn't hear any footsteps from that point forward.

For those of you who are Christians and claim to believe in ghosts, please explain to me how that works. I believe in angels and demons and believe what some of you are describing could be either. If you are a Christian, how can you believe in a soul/spirit trapped on earth or left behind? Just trying to understand the logic.
I get that, and I’m not trying to come across as condescending. Just more curious as to what people think is going on. Could it be that demons are still possessing the body’s of humans like in the Bible, and what happens to the soul of a demon possessed person? As far as orbs of light floating in the woods, I’d have to see it to believe it and then still couldn’t explain it.
Not sure. For me it was something that was def not good that I could feel above me. Basically at 2 am I woke up and knew something was right over me. My lab that slept in my room at the time after about 30 seconds or so (felt like eternity) got up ran over from her bed and started nosing into me. Jumped up turned light on and it all stopped. That dog never woke me up in the middle of the night ever. That’s why I found the dog thing posted earlier very relevant
Other friends and family have shared much more peaceful and good experiences in addition to oddities like things being moved around. And no these are not 3 sheets to the wind stories lol

There was old man lived in the Wooly Swamp way back in the gurgling woods and he never did do a lot of harm in the world but he never did do no good people didn't think too much of him t hey all thought he acted funny the old man didn't care about people anyway all he cared about was his money. He'd stuff it all down in Mason jars and bury it all around but on certain nights if the moon was right he'd dig it up out of the ground. He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack and run his fingers through it. Old Lucias Clay was a greedy old man and that's all there ever was to it. The Crayton boys were white trash they lived over on Parvis Creek they were a real snake and sneaky as a cat and belligerent when they'd speak. One night the oldest brother said ya'll meet in the Wooly Swamp later we'll get old Lucias' money and we'll pitch him to the alligators. They found the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand with thirteen rusty Mason jars he just dug up out of the sand. They all went crazy and they beat the old man they picked him up off the ground then they threw him in the swamp and they stood there and laughed till the black water sucked him down. Then they turned around and went back to the shack and they picked up the money and ran. But they hadn't gone nowheres when they realized they were running in quicksand. And they struggled and screamed but they couldn't get away then just before they were gone they could hear that old man laughing I n a voice that was loud and strong. Now that's been fifty years ago an' if you go back by there again there's a spot in the yard in back of that shack a here the ground is always wet. On certain nights if the moon is right and you're down by the dark footpath you can hear three young men screaming and you can hear that old man laugh.
Hope this helps.

All time that ever has been or ever will be is happening simultaneously... like channels on a TV... ghosts, deja vu, or whatever is "seeing the wrong channel" for a minute.
