Anyone ever seen a ghost?
I was just watching that TV show 'Haunted' and wondering if anyone has ever seen a ghost. I haven't and I don't think any of my friends or family have... Sure we've all experienced weird, creepy things that make our minds play tricks on us but as anyone personally seen a ghost/demon/apparition ???

Here's my story (same as the one I told in that past thread):
I've had a somewhat something of a ghost experience as well. It was in Hong Kong, which is a hotbed of ghosts due to the way it got pounded during World War II and also because of the rampant belief in spirits there (I've always thought that ghosts and spirits like to manifest themself in places where they are most often believed in; or perhaps there are more "sightings" because people who believe tend to see things like this more easily; either way, it's open to debate...)
But anyway, it was in the lobby of a large office building that happened to house a fairly popular fine dining Chinese restuarant (Dai Hei Hing is the place for those of you familiar with HK). The lobby was one of the type that has marble floors, pillars, and a high ceiling, know what I mean? So footsteps and whatnot echo quite loudly in the large space, and like many lobbies the shape of the room is a little bit irregular (eg there are corners and whatnot). I finished dinner with my mom, dad, uncle, and aunty, and we were walking through the lobby from the restaurant to the garage. There were a trio of security guards near the center of the lobby, and they were between us and the elevators around the corner. I was chatting with my dad, my mom and auntie were talking, and my uncle was in front. As I talked to my dad, I heard the sound of rapid, light footsteps like a kid running in the lobby. All of the sudden, one of the security guards broke out into a dash to the elevator. He stuck his key in the slot to call the elevator back, then he turned pale when the doors opened.
The elevator was totally empty, but he, his 2 colleagues, and my uncle all saw a child in a long red coat run around the corner and into an elevator. The angle that this child took was behind the guards, who in turn obscured my uncle's field of view such that all he saw was the child turning the corner. However, the guards, my uncle, and my dad heard the running as well, and the area where the elevators were was a dead end. The panicked guard asked us if we had a kid in a red coat in our party, and we said no. Then the poor guard really started freaking out.
Probably not so scary reading this, but it was a kinda bad juju feeling there in person. My dad and I weren't paying attention, so we didn't see the child in the red jacket, but we heard the footsteps and saw the security guard dash in pursuit. My mom said she wasn't paying attention and didn't notice anything, and my aunty said she felt bad juju but didnt' see or hear anything. She was pregnant at the time, and in Chinese folk belief, pregnant women have an aura that prevents ghosts and "unclean" things from phasing them.
I still wonder...

Friend of mine has a photo. They moved in to a new house and he was just taking photos. Took one looking at the TV which was off. Plain as day you can see an old lady in the corner reflection sewing.g on o e of those og foot controlled machines. Only issue was the corner actually had a chair and lamp in it.

The first time we spent the night, the main dude that helped restore the ship told us personal stories about things that had happened to him and what hes personally seen on the ship.
Then a couple years later, on one of the like Discovery Ch "Worlds most haunted" or whatever shows, the same dude that told us the stories was telling his stories for the tv show.
Ive also spent the night on the USS Pampanito submarine. Deff not even close to as creepy as the Hornet.
Ive personally never seen anything, but i have had some creepy feelings at certain places. My wife has seen a little black girl in her parents house at the end of the hallway one day. Then when she did a double take she was gone. She is always uneasy around that part of the hallway years later.

When I was 6 or 7 I woke up because I thought someone was looking at me and noticed a man with a blanket walking back and forth in the living room. Mom got the machete out and walked over there and turned the lights on. Nothing was there.
Never seen anything like that again but Ive been creeped out a few times over the years. Stayed at buddys place in downtown san jose. It's an old victorian home. I slept there one night and never again. The creepy ****ing noises that come from that house make me never want to step foot in that place again. They all called their house the Velt and threw a few alternative parties in their basement so some of you might have gone there too.
