Are ghosts real?

Thought I would add my bit, I'm not sure if I believe in them or not, but here's a story anyway:

I know of a woman and her son who moved into a cottage in a small village just outside if where I live. An old man had lived in the cottage before them but had sadly passed away.

The mother and sun obviously bought the cottage and moved in. When my dad was doing work for them in the house the mother was telling my dad that they had just moved in etc etc.

My dad never experienced it first hand but apparently the woman was dead straight and was not joking, but she told my dad and claims that sometimes she can here foot steps upstairs in the house, no one else is in only here and maybe her son who is in the same room as her. She also says that sometimes she can go upstairs to find the door of the airing cupboard wide open and everything out of it and off the shelves lying on the floor. Apparently this is the old mans poltergeist doing it.
 
I dont believe in ghosts but had a couple of odd situations happen, creepiest one when I was working in a flour mill. Whole place was automated, just been fitted out with the best milling machines all computer controlled (this was way back in about 92 so it was all new kit for the firm). Anyway long story short, there were two of us on site, night shift, whole place locked up tight, two huge high mill buildings connected by a covered bridge on an island with the river either side. I looked after the computer errors and mill errors calling a machine engineer if we needed one, we also both took care of site security, monitoring cams and looking out for nay-do-well's.

Anyway was about 2am my mate was snoring his head off, I went from the office in the building we were in to the main office block to use the toilet, used the bridge between the buildings so the place was kept locked up tight. Went to toilet, all rooms have huge heavy fire doors (flour mills are as safe as an explosives factory in a fire or even with just a spark in the wrong place they implode), the toilet door squeeked like a banshee every time it opened or closed and there was no way it would close without a heavy thud. I took a stall and read the paper, then it happened, the sound of a couple of steps into the room (no door opening!) then the sound of the towel roll being pulled for about 30 seconds, I stood on the toilet and looked over the stall, no one there at all. So got out of there quick smart, headed for the window to look across to the office ,mate was still pearched on his chair, feet on desk asleep next to the window.

He could not have made it back in the time anyway, it was too far and I was too quick to the window, it took about 5 minutes to make the way back through the mill, up stairs through various rooms etc. Got back to the offce and mate was still there and the cam tapes showed he never left the office, I looked there and then in case we had a thief on site. Anyway, we checked the whole site and no one was there, nothing on any cam, whole place locked up tight.

So,what gives?, phantom cleaner?

When I was about 14 my friends mum and dad woke up one morning to find the loft hatch on the landing outside their bedroom had been opened and the cover slid over about 2 feet. They called the police thinking they had been broken into but there was no sign of entry into the house and the loft was checked to find nobody inside and no means of escape.

It was utterly bizzare but after about 2 days it was just forgotten about and nothing else strange happened in the house.
 
so ghosts are just here to annoy us by scattering the washing and lifting the loft hatch

what a great eternity that must be

If you saw that documentary called "The Entity" you wouldn't easily dismiss the existence of ghosts. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be raped by one.

don't really think many folk want to be raped by anyone / thing.

Will I be be able to sleep if ever again if I watch this????
 
Most Haunteds usually good to watch for a laugh. Was even better when that ******* Acorah was on it getting posessed 35 times in the course of an hour. He was actually setup by one of the others on Most Haunted :

Credibility has been questioned following his work on Most Haunted. On numerous investigations for the programme, Acorah would appear to become possessed by spirits or an evil entity or would appear lost and confused. On one such occasion, Acorah claimed to be possessed by the spirit of a man called Kreed Kafer. In a later interview the programme's parapsychologist, Ciaran O' Keeffe claimed that the character was completely fictional. O' Keeffe claims that he fabricated the "Kreed Kafer" character (an anagram of "Derek faker"), and misfed the information to Acorah who subsequently presented it as fact.

Its amusing though how everytime they get Ghost activity it seems to be little stones getting lobbed at them. Or you get Fielding growing a set to ask for a Ghost to make itself known, then a Mouse farts and its a stampede for the door with people in the way getting trampled.

Havn't watched it in a long time but id assume the stone throwing is still their main "evidence".

Pretty sure there's only one piece of film named "The Entity" that has to do with ghost rape.

I'll try to be a little less subtle with humour in future, thanks for that. You can keep your roll-eyes to yourself though -- you're being indignant for no reason.
 
I haven't seen one and if I did I'd probably worry I'm having hallucinations and suffer from some serious health problems but we can't say for sure without personally having encounters with any.
I'm open to a lot of idea so I'll stay on the fence, I can't say no because that would be saying I know they don't as fact.

If it makes you feel any better, I got the gag (and promptly remembered the boob)
