I dont' mean the fictional headless corpses rattling chains in the corridors, but of the presences that some talk about. Have you experienced any, or have you ever witnessed an exorcism or cleansing? Tell us your story here, I'd love to hear them. |

I think I saw one at our local theatre a friend and I had just finished our bar shift no one else was there when we heard the sound of what could only be described as swishing material, both of us turned round and saw the back of a woman in a long dress grey dress, we ran to the bottom of the stairs where she would have gone up and there was no one there!!! All very eerie it even made the local paper Rachx |

I do. Haven't seen anything myself although often see people at the end of the bed but that's probably just nightmares (or wishful thinking) LOL. My mum though, used to see a little girl in a long Victorian nightdress when we lived in an old Victorian house in the centre of Nottingham. I was only a toddler and one day she saw what she thought was me wandering from room to room. But it wasn't me I was tucked up asleep. Spooky eh? Kate :) |

Hi Teresa I had an Aunt that had a nasty husband and they say she died of a broken heart ( wives tail) being a family house we moved in from two doors away and every now and then if we were in the front room a lady would come and see who was on the setee then disapear through the kitchen wall I kid you not. we were always told she won't harm you she is looking for her husband. Don't know if she still loved him or wanted to kill him but it was spooky. Paul |

My Dad and his brothers saw a ghost .... but I think I am a bit too down to earth for anything to get through to me - you have to be sensitive for that to happen... I would love to see an apparition though, I am always asking my Mum and Dad to come through, but no luck so far......mind you if they did appear I think I would wet myself....lol |

I'm not terribly sure if I've seen one or not, but I know there was a presence in a house I lived in as a teenager. I felt it in my bedroom the strongest, though it was at the top of the stairs and in the bathroom. I once caught a glimpse of a grey mist out of the corner of my eye, but when I turned to get a better look it was gone. When I was 16, one winters night, I was in the kitchen waiting for my boyfriend to come by. The house was about a mile out of the village and the nearest neighbour was abotu 1/4 mile away, so we were very isolated. My boyfriend came into the kitchen all smiles and said he had seen my watching out of my bedroom window. Mum and I looked at each other and said neither of us had been up there. I was doing my homework at the kitchen table, and mum was reading and had been for the last hour. It took us ages to convince him, because he said the light was on and I was there at the window looking out. There was a cupboard under the stairs, with steps leading down to what I supposed had been a cellar. We knew the house had 12 ft foundations, so there had to be a cellar, but it was bricked up at the bottom of the steps. I could never go down there, I was far too frightened. I always imagined it was an edwardian stern looking woman dressed in black with her hair tied back tightly into a bun. It was only an impression, I never actually saw her. The feeling of the presence got so strong at one time that the local rector came and blessed the house, sprinkled Holy water and hung a crucifix at the top of the stairs to ward it off. The very next day I found mum unconscious at the bottom of the stairs, and she swore she was pushed down from the top, she felt the hands on her back! It wasn't a fear of the dark or stairs, it never happened before or since we lived there. Others who have lived there since have also experiences similar things. |

Not ghosts as such but I do believe there are people from the other side watching over us. |

My great aunt kept a pub in the midlands,she committed suicide in the cellar,and it is said that she haunts the pub now. Apparently she wont let them move things from where she had them,and will move them back to where she wants them kept. Maddy |

TRUE-At Newstead Abbey near Mansfield, there was a meeting of 'witches' every Thurs night. The vicar from the church I was dragged along to on a weekly basis used to go along and do an exorcism or cleansing when things got out of control! Now Im older, Im surprised they let things get out of control, most covens don't. And how did they manage to hire a room in the abbey? I wonder if someone connected to the abbey was into witchcraft. OR someone in the coven had enough money to keep the abbey owners happy... |

Ive seen 3 ghosts that I know of, I just think of them as spirits from the other side. My son has seen one, my husband has, and also my sons dad, who always said anyone who believed in ghosts needed locking up. My mother in law frequently hears a ghost cat in her house, as has my son. |
