Ghost Stories

[kinboshi]

Firstly i have to stress that I dont believe in God, Ghosts, heaven, hell, reincarnation etc etc ...

But this tale has been told and told in our family for a lot of years.

When I was a baby, around 4 months old, I was ill with a virus and made a hell of a lot of noise ( no change there then) ... My parents lived at that time in west London in a house with 4 flats in.

One day I was crying more than ever and my mother took me out in the pram to try and get me off to sleep. On returning from the trip I was still whining so my mum left me in the pram outside the door in the communal lobby, after a couple of minutes I had gone quiet and mum came to the lobby to see a woman of around 40 standing over me smiling and stroking my face, the woman looked at my mum and said "dont worry, he will be fine. He just needs to get used to all the new things he is seeing, and take them all in" ... My mum thanked the lady and she went down the stairs and out of the building.

When my Dad got home from work, my mum told him about the lady and the fact that she had never seen her before ... she described the lady and what she was wearing etc ... and my dad went white as a sheet.

He immediately went to the bedroom and deep in the wardrobe in an old shoe box were some old photo's, he produced the only picture he had of his Mum, who died when he was only 4 years old .... The picture matched EXACTLY both the description of looks and clothing of the lady in the hallway !!

A similar thing happened to someone I know.

A friend was running a bath for her baby, and then some pink gunge came through the taps and tried to grab her.  Fortunately, she managed to get the baby out of the way.

A few days later though, the baby crawled out of a window (that was locked) and was abducted by an old lady who flew through the air.  I think the baby was taken to an art museum where some medieval warlord was going to be reborn into the baby's body.  Fortunately Jackie Wilson saved the day and all was good.

when we used to skip school we used to race trolleys in abandoned carparks under an estate( brutal but blinding stuff, we all used to run as fast as we could with our trolly to the top of the long slope then jump on top of the handle bars or in and whoever hadnt crashed and tore themselfs up at the end and was still rolling when it flattened out won, some serious crashes, good days though) anyway one day me and my pal and these two girls had skipped school and were in this garage that we had never been in before it was locked up and no one ever used to go in there, we forced our way in(juvinile criminal damage FTW obv)! so we're all mucking about(we were probably trying to get them to play whatever game involved them taking their tops off) then we all heard a noise from one of the garages in the corner, we all stopped at the same time and looked at eachother, it was so apparent that there was someone there and had obv been there the whole time we had so we were a bit freaked out.

After a bit of deliberation we decided that the best course of action was to throw a piece of metal in that genaral direction and see what happend so i picked up this metal plank and chuched into the corner, i swear this is what happend next, from behind the door out of the dark came two of the clearest huge red eyes youve ever seen, if you could imagine a bears eyes im not joking they wer huge but not like a dogs or anything that sprung to mind and theres was a little bit of rustling and you could hear breathing and we just shit ourself when we heard it move significantly and just legged it towards the exit, when we left we had been sitting on milk bottle crates and there were empty milk bottles on the side next to them and we heard them being smashed from outside and a howling sort of sound that was too shit scary and weird to even describe.

about a week after we were told that the caretaker was fired just a few days later when he tried to put a lock back on the door then went back for some reason an hour later and tried to set a fire, no one knows why, he was arrested though but apparently has never said to anyone why he went back or what he saw!

100% truth that is exactly as it happend, it was even in the local news paper that he was sacked and what for!

When I was a baby, my grandfather lived in the house along with my parents. He was slowly beginning to die from cancer, and had come home. Now, in the house, we used to have an old coal fire that he was especially fond of raking in the early morning. After he passed away, the mornings were markedly silent for a change.

For a while, at least.

About a year later, approximating here because I forgot the exact timings, but the fire was starting to get raked again. The first time it happened, my parents woke up instantly and were baffled. My mum checked my room and there I was asleep, but she could hear someone prodding at the fire downstairs. So, they both go down and open the living room. No one is there. This happens regularly for a while and then stops, never to be heard again.
