I have heard a ghostWhen I was little (can't have been more than about 7) I went to sleep one night at what I assume was the normal time (I was young and can't remember). The next thing I remember is the sound of the piano waking me up, I assumed it was my dad playing on the piano in our back room downstairs. The tune I now know was 'Annie's song' which was one of the songs my dad always played, So I decided to go downstairs and tell him to go forth and multiply and that I was trying to get to sleep. I got out of bed and put on my slippers and went downstairs. As I got to the bottom of the stairs the playing stopped, I thought my dad had realised I was out of bed and was going to come out and start shouting at me for doing it. He didn't. So I went into the back room (where the piano was) as I opened the door the piano lid slammed shut and there was no-one there. I remember I stood there for what seemed like a long time (don't know if it was or not) and then calmly walked out into the kitchen and started to cry. From there on I remember very little, I can't remember if I woke my parents up or what and it has never been mentioned to me so I assume I didn't and I know I never brought it up, thinking my dad would just tell me I was being stupid.
I might have seen a ghost as well but it was probably my mind being slightly overactive. I was camping on Dartmoor with 4 of my friends a few years ago. We had to do a project on the myths and legends that had grown up around the moor and one of the stories was about a prisoner who had escaped from the infamous Dartmoor prison in the late 19th early 20th century he got lost in a thick fog and saw to soldiers kitted out in the Old British Army officer uniform. The obvious thing for him to do was to follow them, even though they were clearly not of that time (or deranged fancy dress people, who knows). Well the story goes on and its basically crap. But finally I will get to the point. I woke up from a previous days hiking, looked out of the tent and the weather was shit and it was very misty/foggy. I decided I had to get out of my tent and wake the others up so that we could get started on walking back. As I stood up outside the tent I saw, not too far off in the distance, a man marching. He had some sort of hat on his head and was holding something, that looked like a rifle. I bricked it crawled back into my tent and slept for the next 3 hours in fear that some mad man with a rifle was going to start taking pot shots at us. I don't think it was necessarily a ghost just me making somebody walking on the moors into part of the legend.

Sorry...but they're all rubbish. Most of them have descriptions like, 'This (vague blob of light) clearly shows the features of a woman and her bulldog' when in fact it looks a bit more like a young girl and her kitten. In other words, it's suggestive images to which your mind can add all the details it wants. Bollocks!

It's daylight nowand I agree. The first one spooked me 'cos of the stories I was reading, etc.
Blobs can be scary sometimes. You should have seen my ex.
Anyway, I vow never to link unchecked URLs again!! Maybe.

you just wasted five minutes of my lifeand i could have been playing guitar! anyone can make "spooky" pictures, you just need one of those crappy throw away cameras and dont wind it on all the way. then you get a "ghostly" image of your mate blended in with someone else. could have some potential to make some very interesting pictures actually... for example having your mate stand there naked beaming, then take another picture of another mate. get them developed and voila, spooky naked ghost haunts good friend of yours...
