In the home I grew up in, we had a ghost. I won't call him a demon, as I have no reason to do so. But it was a ghost, and looked like a man.
Was the ghost corporeal? Translucent? Did it have a distinct form? Did it suddenly appear and disappear or physically walk out of the room? Did it talk? Did it interact with objects? Did objects move without the ghost being visible? The ghost was translucent, kind of like a fog type appearance. The shape of the ghost was like someone who lived at the turn of the century. A top hat, like you have seen pictures of Abe Lincoln wearing, and he had a trench coat on. I described exactly what we saw on the previous post responding to Simon. It did not talk, though my mother heard it wailing in the other room the day she moved out. I never saw it interact with objects, though I did hear it walking around when I could not see it. No objects ever moved by themselves.
Now, my mom and sister heard it, as well as saw, and all 3 of us talked about it to others before talking with each other. The fact is that it was in our home, and we all saw it. All our stories matched perfectly.
How old were you at the time? How impressionable were you? How much time has elapsed since these events? I moved into the house when I was 9, and moved out when I was 18. How impressionable was I? Don't know, though I was level headed. I am in my late 30's now, and we never discussed them as a family, both together and seperate, until I was in my mid 20's.
Some of you want to say that I didn't see what I saw? Then you are foolish and ignorent, as you did not experience what I did. Just because you don't believe it, doesn't make it so.
There is no point in saying that you did not see what you say you saw, but the issue I have with these things is proof. And the motivation of these otherworldly incantations. I have all the proof I need, as I was there. I know what I saw, with 100 % certainty. Whether that works as proof for those that don't believe, maybe it isn't enough. But those that are determined not to believe, there is probably not much I could say to change your mind anyways. And maybe if you did see it, maybe you would convince yourself that it was something else, just to justify it in your mind. Don't know what to tell you. Other than I have no reason to lie. The motivation or reason that this ghost was in my home? No idea. Don't claim to have the answers.
For those who don't believe in these type of situations, what say you?? You think I am insane, or we all saw things in our head?Since I have no idea who you are, it is hypothetically possible that you could in fact be insane, or that you saw it in your head but that is not necessarily the case. It is also remotely possible that you are simply lying, though that seems unlikely. You may have been young and impressionable and duped by ghost stories told by your family and imagined the rest. Or there may have been a much more complicated explanation in which some form did in fact appear. But no proof has been furnished that it was a ghost. I suppose it is possible that I am insane, though I am sure that most who know me would say otherwise. As far as seeing it in my head, that would prove to be difficult as my family also saw it. Lying, already covered that. Ghost stories told by the family? Never existed. We never talked about it even back then when we all lived there. Other than seeing it first hand many times over, I don't know what proof you may still want. Not like I can go back there and ask him if he could come over and hang out, and I could show him off to my friends.
In case you are curious, our home was built in the 1880's, and we were only the 3rd family ever to live in that home. The man/ ghost my family saw and heard was dressed for someone at the turn of the century. I think maybe it was the guy who first lived there. Why was he there? Don't know. But I know he was real. Saw him countless times. Never attacked us, or caused us harm. Though I would never stay in a house like that now.It is definitely an interesting account that evokes a lot of questions. For how long did your family stay in the house with this entity? It seems from what you have said that it never communicated with any memeber of your family. Yes, certainly, there are a lot of questions that will continue to be left unanswered. I personally lived there from ages 9-18. My sister lived there an additional 4 years after that, and my parents moved out 6 or 7 years later. As far as communicating with our family, really no. Except for the situation I talked about before where my mom saw it standing looking over her bed for a half minute or so before she yelled and it ran off, and the day she moved out, when she heard it wailing in the next room over.
