Ok, I've got a good one. This is all true.

When I was in grade 6 (so we were 11 years old), a girl in my class one day told people that she could see someone above everyone's head. A different person for everyone. Of course we were all very excited by this and people were asking her to describe the person over our heads. So she would say "you have an old man with such and such hair and eyes, wearing this or that" or some other description of a person. When I asked her who was over me, she said "you have a bunch of people actually" and described some of them. The only ones I remember were an old woman of some description and a young man she said, who have a uniform and looked sort of like me. Didn't think too much about it.

Fast forward to when I'm 21, living with a friend of mine in Vancouver. One night in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping, my friend comes into my room and wakes me up. I'm like whats up man? He asks me if I mind getting up for a while just to hang out as he's a bit freaked out. So I'm like sure whatever. We chill in the living room and he tells me he's seeing ghosts everywhere. There's one that lives in the building who pops around sometimes and he can just call him to come, which he does. I see nothing. He tells me the ghost is like "what do you want?" and leaves uninterested. ok, whatever. Then he tells me how is dead grandmother is with him and always has been. He says everyone has someone with them. Tells me I have some with me. There were a few but I only remember a couple - the old woman (who he even gave a name to) and a young man in a uniform who looked like me. This time it hit a little harder. My uncle (mom's brother), was a very young fighter pilot in World War II and was shot down and killed at 22 in the war and I was named after him a long time later. (He was quite a bit older than my mom who was just a little girl and I was last of 6 kids, so yeah, long time ago). The more I learned the more I wondered about that time in grade 6, but this time felt a little more convincing.

That night with my friend we walked around the town a bit. He said he saw ghosts all over the place, just hanging out. I saw nothing at all. And I don't think he ever did since.

I remember later that summer giving a whole bunch of left over food from a banquet to a homeless guy. I remember him saying "You got guardian angels you know". For some reason it didn't sound so crazy to me.

omg its like the sixth sense and every other ghost movie ever been made!!

so let me get this straight. he tells you some bullshit and you just take it as is, then you ahve a couple of coincidences and you think that these coincidences surely must fit together witht he bullshit you were fed?


man people are so gullible these days.
i bet 50% of all of you really do click those "congratulations you have won!" ads when they pop up on your screen aswell. ESPECIALLY if someone once said something about a lottery.

Nah man, like I said, I've never seen anything and I'm quite sure I never will. I'd love to, but I just don't believe I will. Maybe I'm too sane! :lol:

At the end of the day, it's only my own eyes I'll believe and when people make these claims, I don't really think too much about it. But it's hard not to be a little interested when there's coincidences in what those crazies say. Interesting, but nothing that I'll base any personal beliefs on. But there's nothing wrong with wondering once in a while you know? Otherwise it's the same as assuming we know everything there is to to know, which would be equally as ignorant. That's just my opinion. Just thought it was bizarre story to share.

i dont think we know everything there is to know, and i agree that would be ignorant.
science has been proven wrong before and will continue to be proven wrong until the end of time (when is that exactly? we should ask those ghosts, since they are not bound by the notion of "time" anymore). but to believe in ghosts is about as ridiculous as it gets simply because theres not even a shred of evidence that it is real. not even evidence enough to support a theory.

Yep, true, which is why I've always been very skeptical. However I do personally love my skepticism of anything to be challenged. On one hand it seems ghosts or spirits can't be real because of lack of evidence and on the other hand, with how little we know of the relationship of perception and reality (observation co-creating reality etc.), you never know how currently unexplained phenomena might one day be explained. It may be something equally as bewildering as the notion that there are 'dead people' walking around.

But the real point, from which we've digressed, is that the OP is currently sitting back laughing at how he started a thread from pure made-up bullshit! :lol:

yaya, we might aswell keep discussing this bullshit. i too love when someone challenges my skepticism and i know a few people that have managed to maintain me long enough in a discussion to actually go home and read more about it. ghosts and demons however and the people advocating them has never even been close. hearsay doesnt make my raise my eyebrows and polish my few braincells the least, if anyhting it just pisses me off.

Here is another interesting 'happening' that I personaly experienced. Two years after my father died, I began to smell his after shave wafting around my room. Always late at night, bedroom door closed, very strong, and for what seemed 10-15 mins at a time. Its the type of smell you would associate with a suit who has just walked into your office with his first appointment of the day, smelling all nice and perrrty, or hugging a chick and smelling her perfume. You get a good shot of it. See, no one shaved in my house at the time, no other men visiting the house at 11pm, door closed, window closed, would last a short period of time, would happen every few days. This lasted for 2 years. Has never happened since. Amazing how the mind plays tricks on the grieving.

The amazing thing about this self deception, was he had two 'smells' that I associated with him, 1 was the Tabac Original fragrance, and the other the Jovan Musk for Men product (lol at the word Musk). It was probably a 70-30 split, with Tabac the favored one. Thing is, I never smelled the Tabac, always the Jovan. The other thing is that I couldn't conjure it up at will. I still can't to this day.

On a side note, anyone ever hear 'ticking' like a clock coming from behind a wall or some weird place where a clock just can't be?

that's funny.. your the only person I know outside my family that brought up Jovan Musk.. It was my dad's favorite cologne and in the past, all of in my family at one point or another have come across the smell when we know no one uses it and when we're alone.. I've only smelled it once when I was younger and my mom just tells me it's my dad just visiting me.. I don't get freaked out or anything and find it quite reassuring..

what's this clock thing your describing?

This is the condensed version. Several years ago i went to a spiritualist church with friend out of curiosity after he told me that a medium came each week. After the service the medium came out and and started picking members of the congregation out and giving them messages from family members that had passed away.

Eventually he said he was drawn to me and proceeded to tell me about two people he was getting messages from. One of them was an elderly gent and the medium told me things like how he died and how he dressed, with specific info like he wore matching ties and socks. After the service i wrote down what i had been told and the next time i saw my gran i relayed the information to her and she said 'that's your granddad' which kinda freaked me out. The message the medium had given me was that he was watching over me.

I am not religious and am as skeptical as the next person but there's no way that medium could have known the things they told me. I'd never met them before, they didn't even know my name and my grandfather died a long time before i was born.
