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 know I shouldn't laugh... but nearly wet myself at this haha! :p

Most nights I can hear someone running around in my sons room at night, right above the living room. I go marching up to tell him off for not being in bed and he is always fast asleep.... it's happening right this very minute! Even the dog is watching the noise move across the ceiling. My son frequently says hello to 'the man' in his room. But like I say, it runs in the family so I'm not bothered by it, I love it!

OMFG that sounds like something out of a horror film!!!! 'the man' OMFG that terrifies the life out of me!!
I am not going to be able to sleep tonight!!!!!
 
Just thought of another horsey one... my grandad was a racing fanatic and would sit watching the wrestling and horse racing religiously every saturday. Grand National was a hundred times better than christmas for him, and the year he died we were all at my grandmas house one saturday when the tv switched on by itself (remote was on the mantelpiece) so we found ourselves staring at one another, wondering how the hell the TV turned itself on to the Grand National.

Also, I thought I saw a monk walk across my horse field once, thread here;

Haha, it's more annoying if anything, I usually turn the volume on the TV up :p My son is 2 and doesn't seem worried in the slightest by 'the man'. My grandad died when my son was 9 months old, so chances are it is him (or another passed on male relative) watching over him. Can't explain the running around though, can't picture it being my old grandad lol ;)
 
fab stories so far! ive got a few not horsey though. Our whole terrace block are haunted, there has been lots of weird happenings. Ill start with our house- Ive seen a man outside the bathroom (later confirmed by a medium as my great grandad) A woman at the end of my bed. When my Oh used to fall asleep at the computer someone or something used to bang on the desk to wake him up. The kids used to quite often say they saw a man in their bedrooms and once saw him walk out of the wall. daughter was 4/5 at the time and had no idea about ghosts etc. My oh's brother died a few years back and my oh saw him standing over our newborns cot not long after he died. My mum was hoovering on the top floor one day (3 storey house) and she walked downstairs and someone followed her down the stairs, she said she's never ran so fast in her life lol. when she slammed the kitchen door shut someone knocked on it. bless her she rang me up saying she's not stepping foot in my house until i come back. One day I was sat watching telly and one of the dogs started growling at the wall, next minute the towel flew off the radiator onto the floor. That freaked me out! None of the strange happenings have ever made me feel really uneasy thankfully.The family next door years ago had daughters friend staying over, during the night she was woken up by a dog in the bedroom growling at her, they didnt have a dog at the time? My mum lives in a flat next door to me and she has had lots of strange happenings. Her plants have turned around and things move. ill try and remember some more!
 
Heebiejeebies I have a similar thing with my aunty and nan and seeing white feathers. They always turn up in weird places like on my saddle just as I'm about to tack up and it wasn't there 2 mins previously, also one won't be there one min, ill go out the room, come back and they'll be one on the table!
 
I like to think its family that are visiting us as they have owned the row of terraces for over 100 years. the houses were built in 1872 and a few people have passed away in them.My OH used to feel someone walk behind him when he was sat at the computer. We havnt had many happenings recently. It used to happen mainly when me and oh were argueing a lot (early years of relationship!)
 
I do not believe in any ghost/psychic rubbish at all, never have, never will but.....

Just last week, 8pm in the evening I was filling haynets in the cattle shed. I heard a distinct clip clop of a trotting horse coming up the lane and past the farm. Both the yearlings and even the cow looked up. The horse in the next building called out and stood at his door.

I have no idea if there is a 'ghost' horse in our village and I don't want to know either, but I hung those nets up pronto and went home at speed !
 
Safely under my duvet now!

None of mine are horsey but we seem to have diverted anyway -

Since my Grandad died both me and my brother looked at the clock every single day at 11:11am. We both did this for about a year. I see it less now, usually when I'm either having a bad day or a great day (never a mundane day!).

Once went to the graveyard where my mum's nana is buried. I'd never been there or met the woman. Mum hadn't been in about 20 years I think, so she wasn't sure where either. Graveyard was over EASILY about 50/60 acres EASILY. Probably a lot more. I walked us straight to the grave and pointed to it from about 20 metres away!

When my uncle died, I was lay in bed hot and bothered from crying. All of a sudden I felt a really calming cool sensation and managed to stop crying and drift off to sleep. Wasn't eerie at all.

When I first moved I heard a train all the friggin time. It seemed to be coming from the left side of the mountain from me. I heard it going along and the beeping of it. A few weeks later we went to a Garden Centre in that direction. Part of the decoration thingys was that a train track with an old train (she reckoned over 80 years old) ended there. I asked her where the new train track was. She said there isn't one for a good 15/20 miles!

Probably more but I can't think right now!
 
Fascinating thread! I have always been really interested in this sort of stuff and one of the yards I used to work at had an extra house guest. They even named it and it was very mischievous. Apparently it used to switch lights on and off and one night it turned the bedside lights off while the owners were in bed. They bantered with it and said something along the lines of "can't you do any better than that?" and the next thing they heard was an almighty crash from the bathroom. When they went to look they found the contents of the bathroom cabinet all over the floor. It apparently used to play a toy guitar that was hanging in the children's bedroom as well.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a ghost but I was up at the yard one night and the yard tap was in a long shed which was used as storage for the hay (it had been previously been used as a shed with a turntable for a miniature railway!). I was filling up buckets and put a full one down behind me and turned back to start filling the next one. As I turned back to the tap I heard what I can only describe as heavy footsteps coming up from the other end of the shed. It sound like someone wearing work boots and they came up the shed, right behind me and out of the door. Needless to say I was completely frozen and my mind was spinning trying to rationalise what it might have been. It only happened the once and the animals never seemed to be bothered by anything but to this day I remember that and still can't really work out what it was.

Friends of my parents also had a ghost in their lovely old cottage. They used to see the outline of an old man in the dining room and they would smell pipe smoke. He was benign for a few years then seemed to get grumpy and they started getting unpleasant smells that would disappear as quickly as they came. The final straw was when the wife was gardening and putting in plants which he obviously didn't like as she was shoved quite hard in the back. So she stood and shouted at him that it was her house and he should butt out (she must have looked like a nutter shouting at thin air) and he left after that.

I find it terrifying but completely fascinating.
 
While you are feeling all safe under the duvet elsiecat, I have one especially for you. Not something I've heard firsthand or made up, just a ghost story.
There's a young girl home alone, reading ghost stories in bed. Whenever she scares herself a bit, she dangles her arm off the bed, & the dog who is lay under the bed licks her hand so she knows she's not alone. Eventually, she goes to the toilet, & is comforted by the sound of the dogs footsteps following & waiting outside the door. She then turns round, & written on the mirror is 'humans can lick too'.
 
Loving this thread, glad I'm not alone in the house though!
Last spring my filly concussed herself really badly playing in the field and the vet said to leave her out overnight as less danger (fewer things to bump into) until she was more herself. I was worried sick so went and sat with her, and when she was asleep i went into the nearby shelter and huddled in the corner with a hot water bottle trying not to freeze. Sat there for a few hours till 11-12 ish, playing on phone, listening out in case she got up and started wobbling around. I was definitely wide awake. Then I heard the unmistakable sound of a few horses galloping really hard down the field. I assumed Katy and Ellie had mooched up the field, been startled, and were racing back down, so leapt to my feet to calm them down before they reached where Jinni and the pony were. But they were there already, standing around quietly, none had moved. There are no other horses for miles, but I KNOW what I heard.
Also, and this is flipping annoying and random, I have a poltergeist who plays with the length of my stirrup leathers. I am really careful and never leave them at odd lengths, and they are often odd when I get on, really annoying!
 
Also, I used to livery on a yard at the back of a house. The house is like a true-to-size dolls house. 3 stories high and in doll house dimensions. It can be traced back until 1212 although the current house was built in the 1700s. It even used to have a moat and 2 Priest Holes!

Anyway, quite a few people have seen a young girl staring out of one of the top windows. No children live in the house. They (and the owners) have heard children's laughter with no children around!
Another story that I can't quite remember.. But its along the lines of - there used to be an underground passage between the house and a local church. There also was once a dungeon underneath. This could be related to the story but then again, it may not be. - Once one of the woman saw 2 or 3 (I can't remember) men in old fashioned clothing walking across the front lawn. They then walked towards some trees and disappeared!
 
Seeing as the thread gone non-horsey. Heres some more.

My gran used to sit on my bed when i was seven - she died the previous year. My folks house was the last place she lived before she passed away - my sisters friend saw her on a sleep over and described her - having never met her.

There was a WW2 POW camp near us - theres a german soldier who has followed me and sis around for years - turns up when theres something a miss.

At family get togethers theres an aroma of grandads pipe baccy - he passed 30 yrs ago. No one smokes in the house.

When i was preg with first baby two ladies popped in our bedroom one night - both my grans dolled up for bingo as they did in life.

Thats just a few .... My Great Gran was a Clairvoyant and travelled with fairs - reckon i'm sensitive to it too - but it does scare me .. Places like Warwick Castle and Galleries of Justice in Nottingham are 'interesting' for me as spooks seem to spot the sensitivity and say 'Hi!' .... Eekk
 
Omg I was freaked out b4 I read little legs post!!!

Things like this really freak me out and I try not to think about them. However since our old boy died I always see things out the corner of my eye in the dark at the yard. I put it down to him always being on my sub conscious mind, my brain has been thinking about him alot since he died but I try not to let myself cos I'm too sad

My mum goes to a lot of fortune tellers and they always say she has a "good aura" which freaks me out!

I'm trying to get my boyfriend to read this thread so I'm nt scared by myself lol
 
Not horse related, but we had our beautiful Ridgeback put to sleep in October 2011. She was a rescue dog and was the kindest, most trusting and wonderful dog ever.

OH and I were devastated when we had her put to sleep, and one morning, not long after, I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth and crying while thinking of her. I felt a nudge on my leg, and ignored it, putting it down to a muscle twitch. A few seconds later, I felt it again, but this time it was a definite nudge, a nudge so hard I had to take a step forward. This is exactly what Lola used to do when she thought I was ignoring her and she wanted something.

Around the same time (in the few days after she died), her bowl, which was on a shelf in the kitchen, and behind other items so could not have fallen or rolled off, came off the shelf and rolled accross the kitchen floor. OH was in there at the time and it scared him half to death. He looked at the shelf and nothing else had moved, just Lola's bowl.

After these things happened I went out into the garden where Lola was buried and told her that while we loved her and would miss her, we would be fine, and that she was free to leave us if she wanted to.

We never had anything happen again, which made me quite sad.

Before this OH and I had never had anything remotely spooky happen to us, and were pretty sceptical about ghosts and the like.
 
Since it's off topic now.... Closest I've ever gotten was when I worked in a different nursing home to the one I'm at now.
The building had bedrooms down a corridor well away from the lounge where everyone was and we had a resident in hospital at the time (stayed in one of those back bedrooms). I went down to one of the rooms to collect a cardi for a resident and heard a loud, blood curdling scream which sounded just like the resident who was in hospital. Checked my fob watch and it was 3.30pm.
2 hours later received a call from the hospital to say our resident had passed away.

At 3.30pm.

Wow, I'm LOVING this thread!

I have ghostly experiences most days - well, Mon - Fri when I am at work. We work in the staff nursery of our hospital (Royal Devon & Exeter) I don't get an uneasy feeling with anything that happens but my work mate does, I personally think she's just more of a wuss than I am :p we have had all sorts happen.. loud bangs that come from somewhere in the building, yet never find a valid reason for where the bangs could have came from.

There are electric doors coming from the reception into the corridor, obviously for security reasons, and you can only open them from either being in reception where there is a switch, or if you are already in the corridor where there is a large green button up high so you can let yourself out. We have heard those doors unlocking on numerous occasions even though the main doors have been locked??

One time I had already cleaned and shut up a room, went back in for something and there was a measuring jug smack bang in the middle of the floor. I may have found a reason in my head for this if it had been a circular object as it could have fell off on its own (would have still been creepy enough!) and rolled into the middle of the room but we all know what a jug looks like, there's no way that could have rolled anywhere let alone into the middle of the room as it has a pretty large floor space.

My friends phone turns itself on and off. This only happens when we are in work, I spend most days with her as we keep our horses together and she NEVER has anything of the sort happen when she's not in the building.

We previously had a toilet that would flush on it's own non stop. This only happened for a week or so and has not happened since so it may have been dodgy plumbing :o

My friend has had something 'exhaling' into her ear one night recently. She said that what made it even more weird was that she wasn't even thinking of the ghost(s), she was thinking that she hoped her horse had settled in okay as she had gone off to be backed the day before so there was no way her mind was playing tricks on her when all of a sudden she heard 'aaaaaaah' in her ear.

About 3 weeks ago, my friend was taking a trolley back into the cupboard when she suddenly felt like there was someone behind her. She suddenly looked back and upwards like it was someone tall looming over her. So this makes us think its a man.

Baby monitors have started crackling and making noises whilst we've been in the room. Yet we're the only ones in the building at this time.

We've been sat in staff room when all of a sudden my friend has shot out of her seat like a bat out of hell, gone completely white like a sheet and eyes popping out of her head (like this >> :eek: lol) and she said that someone just made a popping noise in her ear. Like the noise when you put your finger in your mouth and flick it out to make a 'pop'.

There has also been two times where I have been in the building on my own working as my friend was off on annual leave and I've suddenly looked up towards the door into the corridor because something has caught my eye, like someone/something walked past the door and down the corridor. I never actually thought much of this until the exact same thing happened to my friend a few weeks back. She was in a room on her own mopping up and she saw what she thought was me walk past in a hurry, she said that no sooner had it gone by one way it was going back down again and then she suddenly thought ":eek: that isn't clo!!!" when she came running in to tell me, she couldn't put it into words what she did/didn't see but I knew exactly what she meant. It's like there is definitely something walking down the corridor like it's in a hurry yet there's not actually anything there, no figure, no sounds, nothing.

I've also been hoovering and heard a massive thud. The door of an oven on a small plastic childrens kitchen unit had flew open on it's own and hit the floor.

Writing all this down has actually made me realise how much has happened :eek: where's Derek Acorah when you need him?! :p

Actually I'd prefer Sally Morgan :D
 
Just remembered something re psychic experiences - someone mentioned the Grand National. My ex loved the Grand National, it was one of the highlights of his year and he would pick three or four horses for each way bets. One year he had a weird vivid dream the night before that he was standing in front of a crowd of people, and they were all saying 'who will it be?' 'which one will it be?' and things like that. Then one man stepped forward from the crown and said 'it will be the last one you suspect'. One of the horses running in the race was called Last Suspect - my ex bet on him to win and he did at very long odds. It is the most he ever won.
One year I decided to pick out a tarot card to see if it would tell me who might win - I always bet on a couple of horses too, my ex would put the bet on for me. I don't usually use my tarot cards because they tend to tell me things I don't want to know! Anyway the random card I picked was '0' The Fool, which is a picture of a man staring into space stepping off a cliff. I decided this must mean there would be no winner that year. I wondered if Ladbrooks would take a bet that there would be no winner of the Grand National. I felt a bit stupid asking my ex to put a bet on that there would be no winner so just picked a couple of horses instead. It was the year there was no winner due to the false start.
 
Mashnut my aunt is a nurse, mainly working with old people who are about to die (that sounds insensitive!) and she is of great use at the nurses station as she can tell the other staff who on the ward has just died... Without leaving the nursing station!
She also knows when family members/friends have died before the news gets to her, and on many occasion if my grans phone has rang and if my aunt is there she will prewarn her that its the 'call of death' and sure enough, it's my gran being told that someone has died!!

This one really creeps me out, there is an old man who roams about the town where I used to live, but you rarely see him and NEVER hear him speak, but if you DO see him then it supposedly means someone has died. People now see the poor old man as a bad luck sign, if you see him, someone will have died or be about to die.

He is also somehow always the one to tell you that someone has died, regardless of how well he knew the person, how is he always the first to know??

I used to work in a pub and he would come in, tell me someone has died and to 'spread the word' and leave again! Some people were so freaked out by him they would leave the pub incase he got too close to them, they must have thought he was a curse, poor old man lol freaky though!!
 
Just remembered one -

My mum was once doing the ironing when all of a sudden she went into serious thought surrounding what she should write on 'the wreath.'
Just then the phone rang - her dad had died!
 
My great grandma used to cycle home from work when she was in her twenties through a rural area, past farmers fields etc. Cycling home one night in the fog she could see a shape in the field ahead of her that looked like a man on a horse. Getting closer she realised it looked like the man had no head. This was the only way home so she had to keep going, but was getting more and more frightened the closer she got. Came almost level and peddling faster and faster she couldn't help but keep looking at the headless horseman in the fog ahead. Only to finally make out a drunk man sat on a cow :D couldn't make it up :P

On a more ghostly note, I've heard kids playing and horses trotting down an empty riding school yard before and seen the same horse in the field and being schooled a few times when he definitely doesn't live here now.
