Think it's in a different thread. I'll have a root around tomorrow and write it up again if I can't find it.Charltonparklane said:
Sorry pal, couldn't find it, no dramas though.Sillybilly said:
Two or three years ago I guess. Happy to recount the story again if it can't be found (but it's a long one so it would be good if you could find it)Charltonparklane said:
id like to read, where was the thread pleaseSillybilly said:
No. I was the one who had a very strange experience in the middle of the night in a hotel in the West Midlands (ok guys, fill your boots). Long story with a number of twists. I'm still a sceptic but there are a few coincidences and things I couldn't explain.Leuth said:
Were you the guy who was recognised by the bloke you helped to save?Sillybilly said:We had a thread about this a while ago. I am a total sceptic but had a very very scary experience a few years ago that has made me think very seriously about what I believe.

Yeah the producers fed him a name which was an anagram of Dereck Faker or something like that, and it turned out to be a ghost. Spooky.LawrieAbrahams said:

The burden of proof is on the believer not the other way around. Anything else is the way of madness.Derek1952 said:As Professor Brian Cox as said that Ghosts do no exist,how many people actually believe him.Is so can he prove that God does not exist.
Has there ever been any serious evidence of ghosts or gods? Absolutely not, because they are a fiction. 1-0 to Professor Cox.2 -
That's your evidence for ghosts, is it? Creaking floorboards in an old building?purdis said:As an ex interviewee for the role of Secretary of the Derek Acorah fan club, I must object vehemently to the levels of scepticism and cynicism on this forum.
'Most Haunted' was compelling viewing with endless examples of supernatural existence, so they told us.
Scientists will always be black and white in their conclusions - that is what they do, the way they think. They have to have a solution to an equation.
I've had two experiences, both non-alcohol related and both would make even sceptics think carefully.
I believe I have seen at least one ghost when we lived at our house near Stockport in the 80's -subsequent investigations came up with some fascinating unknowns which supported the possibility.
Most recently, only last October, my Mrs and I were staying in a hotel in Painswick in the Cotswolds - a late Tudor mansion.
We had an original room with wide, creaky oak floorboards and a 20 ft walk from the bed to the en suite.
Deep into the night, I was awoken by the sound of creaking floorboards.
I'd closed the bathroom door before lights out but left the bathroom light on so my wife didn't trip on the step up into the bathroom as she had a broken wrist at the time.
The creaking floorboards sounded distinctly like there was somebody walking across the floor from the bed to the bathroom.
The bathroom door then opened - and opened wide and full.
I leaned across to give the wife a squeeze just in case my eyesight was faltering and, sure enough, she was next to me.
I put the bedside light on, it was 3.45 am.
That was the end of it but I swear, as sure as eggs is eggs, it really happened.4 -
I suppose it is a bit like religion. I know they don't exist and there is unfortunately no God. Others know there is and they do.0

I believe in them 100%, how else would you explain attendance figures of over 9,000 on Tuesday?28

Even those that believe in ghosts know this is all fake rubbish. I'd love to set one of those places up so they thought there were real ghosts in there. They would sh*t themselves!McBobbin said:

Can all the sceptics give it a rest please? It was the deluded believers who made the last ghost thread so hilarious.1

A few years ago I was cleaning the offices of one of the old Woolwich Dockyard buildings about 6ish.
I was alone and had the keys to lock up when finished. While hoovering a woman in black walked past a doorway at the end of the corridor so I stopped and went to tell whoever it was that i'd be locking up soon.
There was no one there but I involuntarily shivered. I had a look around but no one else was in the building.
Anyway, I told the staff the next day and they told me about a woman who died there in a fire in the late 1800s.
I didn't think `ghost' at all. It was real.3 -
Do people ever see ghosts of people who have died a few weeks or even months ago? They always seem to be from around the late 1800s/early 1900s.5

Many years ago we stayed in an old cottage in Painswick in the Cotswolds, much like Purdis above.
We were there for five days, and every night without fail, nothing happened.
It was terrifyingly dull.14 -
I also have a ghost that lives in my house.ValleyGary said:
Nopecafc999 said:I have seen a ghost. 100%
Just the other day I popped upstairs and all of the lights were on, I asked the kids why they had left the lights on and they all said that it wasn't them and they had not been upstairs.
This ghost also spills drinks everywhere and steals food from my fridge.16 -
I forgot to mention that it happened just after I'd counted the three hundred and ninety third sheep.se9addick said:

The bathroom door opened on its own - it was shut at the point the creaking started and then it was wide open and I saw it open on its own - and we'd left the light on, as I said so I saw it as clear as ....night.
We did not have a window open as it was bloody cold that night.0 -
So it's very likely that because the windows were shut and most likely heating was on, there was an increase in humidity meaning the moisture in the air causes the wooden floor boards to increase slightly in size meaning they make a noise. If the same happens to the door then it can cause it to also move.purdis said:AddicksAddict said:

"Female Spectral Prostitute". Never imagined I would ever hear those words. Only to be topped by, "A Ghostly No Hand Job".2
