How Scared Were You When You Saw A Ghost?

Ah I found the pic again.

The girl screaming - I have heard similar stories of horrifying events from the past 'replaying' usually just sounds, not visiual - example: bombed buildings during WW2 people have claimed to hear lots of screaming etc.

Here is a video of something similar, about 5 minutes in:

I watched that link Cactus Crying or Very sad

. The usual suspects - no surprise there. Subjective feelings 'She sensed', 'He felt' etc. Blue filters, odd camera angles and the witnesses who provide nothing but anecdotes...not forgetting the creepy butler voiceover Laughing

Most importantly - no alternative, more rational explanations offered to provide balance to the default position of 'Ghosts did it'.
Programmes like this are a joke and the staple diet of the credulous.

Well I give credit to some of this anecdotal evidenc - I don't believe they can all be crazy or attention seekers.

I haven't seen one and I don't to see one.

Although in the place where I work, I have heard many ghost and horror stories, some are even caught on cam and first hand experience.

If ever I'll see one, I don't know, I might pass out, freeze or shout/scream. I know how scary they are based on the footage on tv and based on the exaggeration of media.

well , the ghosty that scared me i didnt actually see .
I kinda sensed when it was there day and night but i never seen it !!
was always too scared to peep at it.

But when it touched me on the shoulder on a sunny saturday afternoon i ran out the house and left music playing loudly away to its self while i sat on the wall with no shoes on waiting for my boyfriend at the time to come around and go in the house for me.
i was sat on the front wall for about 2 hours lol

when i 1st actually saw a ghost i was not scared at all.
It looked like a flesh and blood person and it was not till we thought about things and looked back they was no sign of him.

My partner was with me and he is (was) a total none believer !!!
now he is a bit 50/50 .

Me and my partner was coming back from a bowling alley in Ilkiston (think thats how you spell it ) near derby .
he bowled their all the time as he was in a team so we would often leave the alley right at closing time because he was friends with the manager .
so its about midnight when we left , so we are driving along these some villages chatting away and a boy runs out in front of us , my partner stars to break and the boy looks at us and runs all the way over the road.
then we sort off stopped in the middle of the road for a min and looked back in the mirrors and they was no sign of the boy.

our first thoughts was when we looked and spoke to each other was "its late for a boy that old to be out alone at this time". (about age 5-6-7 a small boy)
but then we started talking about what he was wearing , he had a flat cap and shorts on and a tank top jumper over a shirt.
kinda victorian school boy looking.

all the way home we was talking about what we had just seen.

my family was amazed that my partner had seen this as he has always been quite a none believer Shocked

Interesting story - so the boy looked at you and seemed to be aware of yous?

seemed to . looked straight at us.
not much expression on his face , no shock that they was a car or anything.
