Hello,

I am new here, and, like many of you have been searching all of my life for some sort of proof of the afterlife.

To be honest, I haven't found much and despite my collections of ghost stories, my avid watching of supernatural reality television, and my visits to haunted locations, I still find myself in need  of proof that SOMETHING exists after this.  I'm assuming I'm not alone.

I call this being a Ghost Skeptic....someone who is quite obsessed with the supernatural and life after death, but someone who still doesn't quite believe it exists. 

So I'm writing a book...an article...I'm trying to gather a collection of TRUE stories from people who have had experiences.  I'm not the first one, nor will I be the last, but this is something I am very dedicated to.

Please, if you have a story, let me know in your reply.  If you'd rather tell me over private e-mails, I'd be happy to do that as well, just give me your e-mail address as I will be making ALL replies screened and will not post any you would rather not have me post.  Having as many details in your stories is very important...the names of places and buildings, dates, years, etc.  Names can be changed if you wish.  

I will not use past posted stories, as I will require your permission to use said story if I actually do finish this.  Even if I don't, I will send all of you what I have compiled.

Either way, this is just the beginning of this adventure (well the prologue is written) and I hope to find real people on Live Journal to participate. 

Thank you for your time, and here's to not being a skeptic any longer!

If this is not allowed, I apologize.

If you say bloody mary in the mirrior of a bathroom with the door shut and locked some thing bad will happen. When my friend told me she did just that the outcome was not what she expected, she blacked out and woke up in the middle of her BEDROOM floor crying her eyes out not remembering what had happen in the bathroom. Does anyone think my friend was lying to me? When she told me the story, she was making it seem convincing that it was real.

does anyone know of any ways to communicate with ghosts that you can do by yourself? none of my friends really like playing with a ouija board.
furthermore, if i was in a house with 3 floors, would it offend the ghost(s) living here if i cleansed my room (in the basement) to make them stay out of it, do you think? only the noises freak me out, always have, and i want them to stop so i can finally stop having to leave my radio on all night in order to sleep comfortably. its mostly banging on pipes and knocking on the roof (its not water. just take my word on that.) and then theres the occasional feeling of someone watching me intently, and that can make me uncomfortable. and my room is ALWAYS colder than the rest of the basement, even if i leave the door open all day. and its definetally not just me, because my friend from toronto who came to stay with me this weekend noticed it too. i hadnt told her about anything spiritual in regards to my house, and she was all content and cosy on the oppisite couch in the living room, in the basement,and then around 1:30 she came crawling under my covers absolutely terrified, because my basement ceiling was making "scary noises" and she felt like someone was watching her. i was sleeping soundly, and the house was relatively quiet. after that it refrained from making noises very many noises, save for once..it was like it was trying to be quiet.. maybe its not a ghost doing it, although i know of one thats in my house. does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be??

more importantly, does anyone know any really effective ways to cleanse a space?

Last night around 1 a.m., I was sitting at my computer minding my own business when I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head and looked at our living room door. The curtains that cover the window were flapping and moving like somebody was holding a corner and moving it up and down. There is no draft and no possible way my cats could reach it. It was starting to creep me out, so I said, "If somebodys there, could you please stop?" Right after I said it, they stopped moving. I relaxed and turned back to the computer when I felt somebody tap my arm. Creepy stuff.

This morning, I was home alone and getting ready to leave somewhere when I heard what sounded like a cough coming from a man. This was extremely not right because I was home alone and it surely couldnt have been one of my cats having a hairball, I had been in the room where I heard it probably not even 3 minutes ago. I went in to investigate and lying on a bed in the room was a towel, which was not there before I heard the cough.

Strange things always seem to happen in my home, but inanimate objects have never moved before. I'm creeped out yet excited.

Well my little 'friend' has been extremely active lately and is actually become quite annoying. Everynight it seems to feel the need to make as much noise as possible and keeps me up all night long. A couple nights ago my roommate and I were sitting on the couch watching TV and we were waiting for a friend of ours to come over. While we were sitting there I heard a loud pounding on glass. Now are back door has a glass window so I thought maybe someone was knocking there. I walked back there and open the door and no one was there. As I was walking back down the hall to the living room there was a loud pounding on the front door, so I stopped and opened it...and again no one was there. I became iritated...LOL...and just went back to the living room and sat down. Twenty minutes later the pounding started to get louder and in our living room. My roommate was pissed and screamed for it to stop, the rest of the night I didn't hear anything.

Last night, all night long it felt the need to open and shut my door and rattle the door handle. I'm exhausted and angry with it.

i have been thinking lately about crap and how things are related and am curious . . .
what or how do you think the afterlife affects people like for instance which has me thinking for ages of a night trying to think of a logical or plausible answer. here are a few questions which i hope will be talked about a bit . . .

1. Is the afterlife permanent?
Not like can you come back but if you have passed do you go to heaven or somewhere and can be pulled back like for instance no hauntings around an area where a burial ground used to be then someone builds on it you magically have ghosts where before there was none ?? or another significant event happens and you stay here or have you always been here and not fully gone . . . do you feel that ghosts are compelled to haunt or exist?

2. Do you hang around waiting to be able to haunt once you die??? do you think the ghost are hiding and then all of a sudden think im gonna make myself known . . .

3. what are the reasons for staying that you know of??? like grisly death or find my murderer i odnt know violent deaths or why do they stay . . .

just vague questions resulting in maybe no comments but food for thought . . . id like to know what ppl think ... about this topic . . .
