I have quite a few.

The wife and I went to San Antonio on the river walk for our 2nd anniversary. I saw a pamphlet for a ghost hunting tour of the Alamo so I suggested we do it. My wife is not into ghost stuff at all and (used) to think it was all fake.

So we are on the tour. The guide talks about the old buildings/haunted hotels/haunted brothels and then we get to the Alamo. He pulls out a thermal camera. It's 11:00 pm and so the Alamo is closed, no one inside, but there are some hallways which are gated that you can see through and he courtyard u guess (it's been a few years since I have been). The guide starts talking about some of the ghosts people see and the different manifestations and lets us take the thermal camera and scan the area. About 30 minutes later, sure enough down on do the hallways you can look down, a human figure appears, crossing the line of site of the camera.

The guide gets visibly excited. Visually there's nothing there but on the camera you can see a human form cross in front of us and stop in the middle of the hallway. The guide says that there is this one ghost that shows up over there, and all the hunters in his group call the human "shorty" and that he usually pops up when there are women around and that sometimes he responds to it she women flirt with him.

So the guide (who is large, balding, etc) asks my wife to flirt with shorty to see if he will stick around for a bit longer.

My wife is reluctant but I am getting a kick out of how much the guide is tripping. So I encourage her as well. After a minute or two my wife starts falling out "Hey shorty! Mmmm what's a big strong man like you doing over there. I want you to come over here and keep me warm!" Generally stuff like that.

At first nothing happens or appears to happen anyway. And then the damn thing starts moving. It starts coming down the hallway towards us. I am he one with he camera, and my wife can't see the screen. She just has her hands cupped around her mouth calling out. I am stunned because the figure starts to move faster and faster....never quite breaking into a run, but what looks like a fast walk. After a minute or two she gets tired of calling out and asks me if the thing is gone. I show her the screen and it's like the figure is right in front of it, standing there with its hands on its hips, head tilted to one side. It takes its hands out of its pockets and reaches forward to touch her face or head or something. She screams "Oh *****" And runs away. I give the guy the camera back and go to make sure the wife doesn't run into the street or something. I couldn't even get her to finish the tour.

I have got a lot more where that one came from. A lot of crazy experiences. But that one is the tamest I think.

That wasn't the ghost's hand that touched your wife's Face.

Not going to touch the creepy stuff that went down at the house my parents lived in when I was a kid.

Buuuuut when I moved to OK with the wife and kids. We lived in a house originally build in the 1930's. It was added onto around 2000. The addition, which was put on what was originally the lot next door had always creeped the wife and myself out. Things like seeing movement or figures out of the corner of the eye, that feeling that someone is watching you always stuck around whenever one of us was down there by ourselves. We talked about it in passing but never became too concerned about it, until one night when I had a dream that I will never forget.

I dreamed that I was at one end of the hallway and could see a little girl about midway down the hallway, about 4 years old or so. She was wimpering not really crying, but how kids get when they are about to cry. In my dream I was alone in the house, except for the little girl, so I went to her to try to console her. When I asked the girl what was wrong, she pointed to the opposite end of the hallway, and out of one of the rooms, I could see a shadowy figure....not quite animal, not quite human emerge. The shadow figure started down the hallway in my direction, and I put myself in front of the little girl, to keep my body between her and the shadow figure. The shadow figure moved faster and faster and then jumped as if to jump through me to get to the little girl. I felt the impact, like a punch to the gut and woke up immediately, gasping for air, sweating, heart racing, cold, feverish, nauseous, and having trouble catching my breath. My wife woke up and asked me what was wrong. I told her I had had a bad dream and rolled over and tried to go back to sleep but couldn't for the rest of the night. She woke up a short time later, with the same symptoms, difficulty breathing, heart palpitations. I asked her what was wrong and she described her dream to me.

It was the exact same dream that I had had, even though I hadn't shared the specifics of my dream. I had only told her that it was a bad dream. Our two kids sleep just off of that hallway in two rooms, across from where the shadowy figure had emerged. We got the kids and brought them in our room to sleep with us that night. We had a priest come bless our house before we let the kids sleep in their rooms again.

A short time later we moved.

Good *****

I love this thread.

In fact, I propose this is the best thread the GB ever did.

10 years ago I made this. I want royalties!!!
