Like you, I've never seen anything. But I've also heard stories from people.

*sigh* Guess its up to me to sound like the crazy one.
Anyways when I was young I lived in an old two story house. My whole family had lived there at some point in my life so when I told everyone what happened recently they instantly believed me and had stories of their own.
I was young, not even a teenager yet. My Uncle and an older woman, who the family nicknamed Monster Lady, occupied the two rooms up the stairs. I rarely went up there and when I did I never went into the rooms.
One day when both of them went out and I know the rooms would be free I finally thought I'd check out my Uncles room. The top stairs room always had a mysterious aura to it, for me and my little brother. It was finally my chance to see it and so I went.
My Uncle's door was wide open, I had no idea if this was normal or not. The room turned out to be much smaller than I ever could have imagined.
To my left was a large dresser, covered in various knick knacks and candles. It included a huge mirror which gave you a great view of the modest sized room. Next to the dresser was a window with see through curtains. One of the images I remember most vividly is the wind whipping around the long white curtains, with the sun shining bright.
The wall furthest from my did not have much, just clothing and bins. The bed was placed on the opposite side of the mirror and dresser, not leaving much room in between.
I walk in and just let my eyes run wild, trying my best to take as many mental images as possible to brag about to my brother. I notice the smaller dresser behind me, it sat a few feet from the door. I was surprised at how disappointed I was, I'm not sure what I was expecting but this sure wasn't it.
i get to the dresser and start noticing cigarette lighters and coins. I finally look up and instantly see a small dark circle, I couldn't take my eyes off it as the red residue started to drip down from the top to the bottom. Once it reached the bottom my eyes started to focus on what was behind me, over my right shoulder. It felt like I stared at it for a good 30 seconds, I'm not sure whether I was brave, dumb, too chocked to move or thought it was my uncle but I got a good look.
It was a pitch black figure, i definitely couldn't see through it, and it was much taller than me because I remember having to look way up to see its head. As it stood there it appeared its arms were crossed in front of it. No hair, no facial features just the vague figure of a man.
i had trouble screaming and just forced my to run down the stairs. When I saw my grandmother in the living I started to cry and scream out for my mother. Something even then I felt I was probably too old to be doing but I just wanted her there with me.
She runs to me from her room and begs me to tell her what happened. I could barely make out words but I finally got the message through to my mother who told my grandma is Spanish. Not long after all three of us head up to the room, my mother holding a bat. My grandma walks in with no fear, opening doors and checking under beds.
Both the top rooms were empty and I still clung to my mother like an infant. As we made our way down stares I can hear my mother and grandmother arguing in Spanish. Though I didn't speak it then it didn't sound very understanding. Old school grandma don't like grandsons that scare easily.
The last thing I remember that day was my mom explaining what happened to my uncle, and me being more worried about his reaction to me being nosey over any evil spirit.
So that's it, I've only had one other experience and that was recently when I heard voices as I napped and saw a shadow go from the door to a closet. Though I'm still not positive about that one.
This one however I still get creeped out about. I watch a lot of ghost hunters now and don't really hear much about thing that I saw. The closest would be shadow figures, but I don't recall being able to see through it too well. Anyways even to this day I still don't know if ghosts exist but I know I did see something that day. My family seems to have my back there.

I never saw one, But I have been around them. One time when my friend Mayeda was Alive, Who was also a friend of my late friend Jeff. Asked me to go into the room she was staying at, At Jeff's house. We were just outside in the backyard and we were Just talking and having a good time. She asked me to go into the room to get her crackers, So I did and I couldn't find them So I went back outside and told her that I couldn't find them she then told me to go get her "Bottle" she was an alcoholic So I went back inside to go get it, and when I did and when I got to the hallway, The door to that room was shut, The hair on my body raised up, Cause I knew nobody else was in that house when I left it last time to look for her crackers, I left that door open, and there was no way the wind and or house could have shut it either, The door was hard to shut because of the floor, The carpet was like making it hard to shut because the door wasn't like properly placed. And when I saw that I basically ran outside XD and I ran in the backyard and told Mayeda and my mom that was there, what happened I was like, A GHOST SHUT YOUR DOOR. or something along those lines, Jeff always said that there were Ghost in the house, Mayeda has even seen ghost in there a few times, and then she asked "Did You Get My Bottle?" she wasn't mean about it, I said "No, I was too scared after seeing that door shut" so me, Mayeda and my mom ended up going back in there, I told them to come with me, Cause I didn't want to be in there alone. Anyway While we were back in there, I told my mom that I was serious about that door. And my mom isn't a skeptic about ghosts and stuff like that, cause well there was a demon in my room when I was little (SCARY SHIT, Never want to experience that again, that's another story though) And then she asked it, she said "If there is a presence here knock 3 times" lol, She's watched to many ghost hunters at this point, and all of a sudden, this is the weirdest and funniest thing, My mom was in the hallway, Mayeda was in her room looking for that damn bottle I went in there and all of a sudden a Alcohol bottle came out of nowhere, Smacked Mayeda right in the head, and It was like it bounced off of her head and landed right in front of my feet. After when Jeff would come to our house after that and said he had a ghost experience I believed him, I believed him before my experience, But actually experiencing it yourself is a whole other level.

That tells me one thing. Only good things happen when you mix ghosts and alcohol.

Some good ones so far. I have a few minor incidents, mostly from when I was a kid. My old bedroom always creeped me out. I never liked being in there and would often leave on the middle of the night to go to bed on the couch in the living room. One time, I distinctly recall turning over in bed and looking at the closet door, to see a shadow of a full grown person moving around on the wall for a couple of seconds before it went away. I was completely still while looking at it, and the blinds were closed so it couldn't have been from outside. I also saw a floating, whitish, sparkly thing floating by the door one night. I associated the shadow with NY grandpa and the sparkly ghost with my dad. I dunno. It just 'felt' like them when it happened. I wasn't scared, despite how my room normally made me feel.
I also saw the sparkly floating one once more when I was 9 in a bathroom on the other side of the house.
Other then that, my high school was originally a military hospital during WW2 (Birmingham in Van Nuts if you are familiar with it Crod). One of the class buildings was an old infirmary. There was a hallway leading off from it to some small offices which used to be private beds. There were always strange noises coming from down the hallway. Especially the bathroom. It had these really gnarly old soap dispensers with a push handle that made a lot of noise when you used them. I would hear the noise all the time coming from there, even when no one was down there, along with sounds of movement from the small rooms. That's all I've got.

I probably shouldn't be reading all of these stories so late. @ Chris: Yikes! I felt like I was there while reading your story. You must have been so terrified to have seen what you saw. This is probably a really stupid question but did you ever go into that room again? I imagine I know the answer, but I'm still curious. @ Gabby: Your story is also spooky. Especially the bottle flying at the head thing! Didn't you all freak out after that happened? @ soweirdo: Did the sparkly, white floating thing look like a ghost light - AKA will o the wisp? Was it a spherical shape or some other shape? ----- As far as stories from people I know: I'm not sure if this qualifies as a "ghost story" but one night, waaay before I was born, my mother and (I think my grandma, aunt and uncle were with her) decided FOR SOME REASON to use a Ouija Board, or "Talking Board" if you want to go by SO WEIRD's definition of it. Anyway...my mom doesn't like to talk about it. I notice she seems nervous, like the memory deeply disturbs her. She told me everyone in the room experienced weird things that day. The board supposedly spelled out weird things that were not positive. Enough to thoroughly freak everyone out. And my mom said she felt a weird pain in (I think it was her arm) for a while after that day. She never wants anything to do with those boards ever again. I (not being born yet) obviously wasn't there, but it still creeps me out when I asked and she told me about that stuff.

I have seen one, kind of. Last year, when I was living at my grandma's, I was home alone sitting on the couch, looking toward the TV which was turned off... I saw someone sitting in the chair next to the couch both in the corner of my eye and on the reflection of the TV... once I turned to look, it was gone. My cousins and I believe it was grandpa, letting me know he was still there.
Also, I don't remember this, but my mom has told me this story a million times. My grandpa died when I was seven, he was the first person in my life that truly made a difference in my life to die. Apparently during the first year after he died, I'd be talking to no one as if I were talking to him... as if he were there.

Actually I did, years later before we moved out and the house was taken down. Nothing strange about it then, my Uncle was long gone and it was empty. They were suppose to build a big complex but never got to it. So there's just an empty lot where the house use to be. I don't trust the Oujia Board thing, not sure if its real or people's brains messing with them. I still won't ever use one because I'm a chicken. LOL

You're not a chicken, you're smart. I won't touch one either. Not that I believe it's evil, but I'm not wanting to find out.

LOL The Oujia Board is real and not a fake, My mom's friend when I was little played around with that thing, Got a demon in her and then brought it to our apartment, I remember my mom holding me in her bedroom as we heard all kinds of noises going off in my bedroom, Like it was braking my toys. My mom put holy water around her bedroom door, to keep it out, It was scary.
