Reply to: I think we have a ghost!!

[HairyArsedBloke]

Years ago I knew of a woman who claimed that her house had a ghost. Similar stuff e.g. things being arranged, or moved. She ended up being diagnosed with some sort of mental disorder. One of those multi-personality things; it was her doing it in one of her ‘states’ then forgetting about it. There wasn’t any doubt about it, her husband and mother has independently found her doing it.

With that in mind I go worried when I was living in the Caribbean as I felt that the condo we rented, for a while before we bought a place on the same complex, had a ‘presence’. I’d see a dark shadow out the corner of my eye and it’ll be gone when I looked, etc. What was most annoying was it would muck around with the controller for the air conditioning i.e. turn it up or down. The ex-mrs HAB ‘claimed’ that she hadn’t touched it, and I ‘thought’ I hadn’t, but it would still change.

When we joked about it with the ‘church lady’ manager and she went into a bit of a state and recommended that we went to see the pastor of her church. I also had to promise to never say a word to the cleaner as she would be too scared to enter the place. The reaction of the religious nutters was scarier than having a ghost or developing a mental health problem.

A few months ago, there were a series of freaky remote control "incidents" in my house.

My hubby was workign away, and a few times I got home from work to find the remote controls alligned on the sofa. Not something I ever do.

I let my sensible brain ignore it.

I can pee in my ears from a normal sleeping position? I wish.

umm I was thinking more along the lines that you are half asleep/awake, get up goto the bathroom, hear yourself peeing, go back to bed and your brain tells you that you heard [the peeing] while in bed. Either that or your real name's is HAB.

We had a ghost but it appears to have passed through - either to the other side or to some other house I guess. All she (my dad saw her when he stayed round) did was knock a couple of teddies around in my daughter's room. When my daughter was younger and in a different room she used to cry A LOT - our theory was that she was scared by the ghost.

My dad however swears that he didn't feel anything bad around this ghost, i.e. she was very calm, appearing out of a stardust effect and walking up to the bedroom door, peering in and then wondering off down the hallway.

The world is often wierd. Every single morning when I wake up I can hear it pouring with rain then I look out the window and it isn't. It always sounds as if it is pouring with rain just at that precise place in the house. Checked tanks, electric meters, everything to try and find where the noise is coming from. Not a clue.

is it when you're sleepy and the spot right where you take a pee?

Special Branch do things like that to see how you react.

So does Ming the merciless. If these things are accepted as a natural phenomenon then the Earth will be left alone, but if the hand of Ming is recognised.........

If you pick up your handset at home you can do their heads in by talking to them.

Our house has been boiling lately too...not sure if it's connected!

Ah your cleaner is female and doesn't understand thermostats

I've economised during the recession by "letting go" of the butler.

Have you made any other economies?

[SallyAnne]

Don't worry - it likes you and is trying to help out, while being OCD at the same time (which is no bad thing in a ghost - at least he* won't throw things around and break them)

*that my bet...

Ah brilliant!!!! An OCD ghost!!!! He could be really useful!!
