Ever seen a ghost horse/had a psychic experiences?

Yep. My pony was seen in the field by me and quite a few people after she died. I was bringing my other horse in from the field and felf a nudge on my lower back. Thought nothing of it until I figured out thats what my little pony would always do to me :) In all of these experiences I was never made to feel sad, more like a little comforted as I was very sad for a while after I lost her
 
At the stables I used to be at 2 other girls and myself (all on different occasion and all when we were on our own and at night CREEPY!) all saw a shadow of a person walkin up towards the fields. When we looked out there was nobody there!
By like maria13 it was never an uncomfortable feeling...
 
A bit long - sorry I'll try and keep it brief

Working in Africa, herd of c.30 horses turned out on reserve (22,500 hectares) daily, always come back to yard for food in the evening without exception (and to be shut away to avoid being eaten by lions on the reserve - no exageration!) and never wandered that far away TBH

Elderly mare been in the herd for 15+ years, needed to be PTS, put in trailer and taken by road to other end of reserve (where we never rode as too far away to get there and back in a day), was shot and left for lion - all very sad and many tears shed.

Next day, got to early evening - no horses, drove around usual favorate spots - no horses, got call from someone on reserve, horses all close the the body a good 5 hours speedy walk away !! Got most back by riding in dark (v dangerous) and some following feed buckets in cars, rest arrived back mid morning next day.

After that one day they went back to the routine they had stuck to for 10+ years prior to that.

I am an accountant, I don't believe in ghosts. I can't explain why they did what they did that day - how did they know where she was ?????
 
Used to work at a riding school/event yard on weekends when I was a kid. One misty morning at the crack of dawn I went to get some ponies in from the field down the gallops and took three headcollars (3 ponies) with another girl. There was a fourth pony in the field, a little grey shetland. I said to the other girl I could make a headcollar from one of the leadropes so the little pony wouldn't be left behind (and the other hcollars were too big for it), to which she replied, "what little pony"? turned around and it wasn't there any more. Was told they had a shetland pts with bad laminitis the year before.

Secondly, out of sheer desperation and because others on the yard were having it done I had a lady do reiki on Alfie. She said he had a hip injury from travelling in a trailer (not sure if true but the vet had also raised an issue with his hip the week I got him). She told me he'd been on the same yard in a previous life and was supposed to be here - it's a safe place for him and that he used to have the stable where the farm hand hung himself. That was never verified, at least until about a month ago when, after we moved to a NEW place the owner, a 90yr old gent whose family lived on the property for the last 150yrs told me that the barns are ancient and they've seen a lot of comings and goings, from being used as a paint shop pre-war to an air-raid shelter, to cattle barns to allsorts of other things. During the same conversation it turned out a farm hand, his next door neighbour hung himself in one of the barns because he was afraid of going back to the war. Thankfully it's at the other end of the property to the part I use now.
 
I haven't but my sister has. she was driving back very late one night from some sort of conference with a workmate, it was 1 or 2 in the morning and they were taking back lanes as the main roads were a long way round. There was a full moon and visibility was good. She drove round a corner and right in front of them was a man leading a big grey carthorse right in the middle of the lane. She slammed her brakes on , looked - and there was nothing there, no horse or man, nowhere they could have gone. The bloke she was driving with refused to talk about it afterwards.
Remembered another - a friend of my mother was driving home late on quiet roads and saw men riding horses in front of her car, always going at the same speed as she was, they had cloaks flying in the wind and very old fashioned clothes, they turned off down a green track and disappeared.
I lived at a riding school for a couple of years and despite often wandering around in the middle of the night (insomnia) and the lane past the property being an ancient route and also many horses ending their days on the property (they tended to keep horses til the end there not sell on) I never saw or heard anything odd.
 
One more;

Locally to us we have a pub called the Phantom Coach - named for the local tales of clattering hooves on the old coach road. I know a few people who've heard it, my mum and her sister being two of them. Plenty of locals have heard it through the crematorium and the local tescos too.
 
Sadly not of horses, but lots and lots of 'people ghosts'. Spooky goings on and seeing spirits runs in the family, I even used to be able to hold telepathic conversations with my great gran when she was still alive, and she still visits me every now and then.

One that is relevant to horses... on a yard I used to visit as teenager, the owners son hung himself in an empty stable. I didn't know that had happened, but every time I walked past the stable I could see a silhouette of someone hanging from the beam. I asked someone if a man had hung himself in there and they were terrified of me from then on because I knew before being told haha :p Dogs wouldn't go past the stable, and horses refused to go in the stable, so it had to be turned into a store room! Just goes to show how in tune animals are.
 
Driving home one day from Canterbury I came to a part of the road which is really surrounded by trees both sides and theylmost cross over the road. It was dusk and from no where an old fashioned knight on a horse came out from the side of the road and crossed in front ofand disapeared into the trees on the other side of the road. Never seen it before and have never seen it since.I do not really believe in this sort of thing but it was a very real to me. When ever I now drive down that part of the road I always think about it, but never seen anything else.
 
As I teenager I was on a yard that was very creepy at night, one time I was locking up and as it was an old fashioned yard the tack room was above the stables. It was approached by a set of stairs such that you walked up into the room head first. That night I just poked my head around the bannisters to check and the atmosphere was positively evil I was downstairs, locked up and away double quick.
Other things were my friend witnessing a bare arm banging a brush against a door on a blisteringly icy day and the same brush disappearing for months only to turn up again in odd places.
 
I grew up in a late '50s infil house, built on the orchard of an old Edwardian house, that still had a stable block albeit the coach house and stables were divvied up into very run down dwellings. As kids we always dug about in the garden and once found a horse skull. I remember saying that it died because it hurt its leg, and my older brother disagreeing (as he always did). Anyhow a good 15 years later a very old lady knocked on the door, turned out she'd lived in the big house as a child, and we got chatting and I asked about the horse - she had been very fond of it and it had broken a leg and was shot and buried in the orchard.

We must have some sort of connection dizzy socks!!!

The saddle club think the barn is haunted because mrs reg tells them a story about max's great great grandad who haunts the stable at night.
Late at pine hollow one night, the saddle club see the headless horseman AND.............................







watch it on youtube :D:D:D:D:D
Actually, the only one on youtube i can think of off the top of my head cuts out the crucial part of the episode!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad:
It does scare me though i need a pillow to watch it
 
Our yard has its own spook too. also, The area I live in has a former stage coach route and King Charles II's former hunting lodge.

I've heard galloping horses approaching and passing- no horse.

Seen a cavalier strolling through the lodge gardens. King Charles' in the hotel built on the sight of the lodge. Seen and heard too many things i can't explain to not believe in these things.

But the strangest thing is hearing a steam train - the last one to run around here was in the 60's...
 
Me and my mum did once.

We was driving back from watching a horse clinic, it was dark and the road we was on was very long and straight (there was a car in front of us.)

Driving along and a white figure appeared at the side of the road... It then shot out in the road in front of the car in front, the car obviously saw it to as he slammed his brakes on! It then just disappeared once in the road. The car in front then slowly set off again?

Was very strange 'apparently' a woman was run over on that road whether its true I don't know but I know what I saw.
 
Not horsie I'm afraid, but at the country pub I used to work in, both me and a colleague at the same time saw a small old man walk through to the bar and disappear.
The chef there is very interested in apparitions and we ended up setting up a lot of equipment a few weeks later and had some interesting findings in the form of sounds and a couple more sightings. The pub itself is very well known for spiritual activity.

I find it absolutely fascinating, and am quite good at feeling energies and auras. Love threads like this :D
 
I've just read this in the bath and I am now too scared to get out. When will I grow out of hating being home alone!?

Bring on the battle!!!!! :D

I do love the saddle club :p

Elsiecat i get scared of that too!!!!!! I always have to run up the stairs really really fast in case something comes after me. Nothing ever does though:p
 
It's like having to be under the duvet at night! How will a duvet protect you from anything!?

I was in the bath the other week and could hear someone walking around the house. I freaked right out. Ended up leaning against the bathroom door for an hour crying!
 
I had chronic depression after my first pony was put down and had reiki from someone who described his first yard down to a tee, even though we had moved yards twice since then.
Also had my german shepard who had passed away walk behind me on kitchen floor as her claws made a skit skit noise on the lino and she nudged past my left knee when I stepped into the garden. Took me a minute to remember she had been put down 3 weeks before. Broke my heart all over again.
 
I've had something.

I had my first horse put to sleep at a very young age - she had a degenerative bone disorder.

A few days after, when I turned out the lights to go to sleep, there was a rustling noise which stopped as soon as I turned the light back on. This went on for a week, with me getting progressively more tense and upset.

After a week or so I just broke down and burst out that I really miss you. That was the last night I heard the rustling.

I think she just needed to know she hadn't been forgotton :(
 
I think we have them on our yard. It's a very old farm, although livery has been relatively recent, maybe 20/30 yrs at most. But, its lovely, & quite a few have lived out their days there. One night I was catching my mare & could see her to the left, but she wouldn't come to the gate. She's grey but had a full neck dark turnout on, so I was shouting a dark horse I naturally assumed was mine. My mare then came from the right. I walked up thinking it must have jumped in from somewhere, but when I walked round the trees to see, it had gone. There's a few times since I think I've seen it, & what's strange is my mare does a 'hello' whinny which is usually reserved for close friends. I also thought one of the horses was behind me once when i was cleaning the trough, but all were far end. Then the bucket rolled off even though there was no wind. There's been a few other things too. Like my mare calling to the field & not settling at all, even though all the horses were in. In exactly the manner you'd expect if two friends were calling each other. Not long after she reacted as if a friend had entered the barn & gone in its box. I'm convinced it is my friends now departed oldie. Numerous occasions childrens voices are heard, when any kids around are accounted for. But, its a really nice feeling, not scary in the slightest ever. People who neighbour the field have also asked us about 'the new big brown one' when nothing matches that description, & they've counted an extra horse.
Years ago lived in a house with an evil presence. Kitchen was ok, the rest was wierd. Especially stairs, which both dogs would watch as though someone descending. Tv would turn over, & things move, however I always got the impression of more than one presence, as the moving stuff always felt like it wasn't meant to be scary, & if you were freaked, & asked it to stop, it did. The other wasn't friendly. One day my usually friendly dog went mental, not just a warning to back off. Full on hackles, fangs, & snarls of which I had never seen, at something that had descended the stairs & made for the door. He did actually lunge through the doorway, at nothing. From his behavior, whatever it was had scarpered. He did sit guard for a few mins, but then happily wondered off.

Oh god I can just imagine how terrifying that would be!!!! Hugs elsiecat!!!!

Seems as there not all horsey I have a few more..

My Aunty lived in a house which previously had a man, wife and their two daughters living there.. This it a true story, the husband in the end ended up strangling his wife and smothered his two children before setting the house on fire where he to died. My aunt was told all this before she bought the house as she was the next owner.. (Many years ago now).

All sorts used to happen in that house, my cousin had the daughters room and she'd often hear knocking on her bedroom window and the sound of girls laughing, she also had a man who used to 'speak' to her (in her mind) and tell her 'everything's going to be alright'..

One night my mum was baby sitting my cousin when she fell asleep on the sofa, when she woke she made her way to the stairs when she saw two huge fire balls in the kitchen archway (this is where the fire apparently was started)! When she looked again they where gone..

My cousin also said one night she done the washing up and left it on the drainer.. Went and sat down when the whole lot of washing up crashed to the floor.. She said she ran for her life up the stairs!
