These skeptics fromAsk Redditbelieve in ghosts now.
1.Worked at a public pool, I would work alone after hours cleaning the building and the pool.
One night around 2 a.m. Im cleaning the change rooms.
Jesse Bowser
The pool has been closed for 4 hours at this time.
I hear the sound of a childs laughter and bare feet running across the pool deck.
I go out and scan the area; theres nobody in sight.
The doors are all closed and locked, there is nowhere a kid could be hiding.
No wet foot prints on the pool deck.
I re-check the doors and the security monitors.
I am the only person in the building.
2.When I was about 10-14 I had terrible insomnia.
I missed an immense amount of school because of this so my mom had me see a neurologist.
When they told my mom she went ghost white.
She pulled me aside and explained she was experiencing things, too.
She described in detail what I was seeing.
That evening she approached my brother and asked broad questions (Do you have anything weird happen in home?
He also described what we experienced.
It was then I realized we must have paranormal activity and Ive believed it ever since.
When we moved out of that house all my sleep issues abruptly stopped and I havent experienced it since.
Around 1am I heard what sounded like children running up and down the hallways interspersed with laughter.
Opened the door to see what the hell was going on, and didnt see anything.
Quick little buggers, I thought.
5.My aunt used to live above a convenience store.
It was a duplex and had a mud-room that connected the front doors to each apartment.
The other apartment was empty and unlocked so my cousins and I would hang out in there.
One night we are playing hide and seek in the empty apartment.
My cousin and I are running from the seeker and the hallway door slams shut in front of us.
We freak out and end the game because we are too scared.
We tell our parents and my aunt happens to have a night vision baby camera.
We are watching it for about 10 minutes, dust is flying everywhere and nothing is happening.
Out of the darkness, a Pepsi can rolls up and hits the base of the camera.
Everybody is like wtf this bitch is haunted.
I never went up the stairs alone to get to her house again, I was too freaked out.
About 3 years ago, the entire building burned down unfortunately, I dont know the cause.
6.I was always open to the idea, but wasnt convinced.
That changed a couple of days after my grandfather died.
There are no vents in the ceiling in my room.
My fan wasnt on.
7.When my son was a baby, he started crying in his crib at about 3am.
I sat up, dreading having to nurse him back to sleep for the third time that night.
Can she come back tonight?!
I know to this day I wasnt it was very distinct and I was standing in the hallway.
He had the most bizarre look on his face trying to see if I was pranking him.
Totally weirds me out to this day.
So we both booked it for the day.
(Grandfather that died had mental health issues that caused a lot of pain.)
Welp after that day I was a believer.
10.In 2011 I was studying abroad in Morocco.
We were staying in Marrakech with tall, ornate windows.
I had one roommate who was already asleep this night.
I thought I saw her sitting up in the bed next to me wearing all white.
My roommate didnt see anything.
11.My wife and I swear that our daughter used to talk to ghosts when she was a toddler.
She was an only child at the time.
First instance I remember, was her telling me that she was talking to Nana.
Thats what I called my grandmother, who passed about 15 years before my daughter was born.
Ok, no biggie.
Some months later, my wife and I are trying for baby #2.
Ok, maybe thats coincidence.
She overheard us saying something.
A few weeks later, my wife miscarries.
Again, shes an only child and had no (living?)
We were still trying at this point, but had not taken any tests.
We picked one up that night, and sure enough, pregnant.
When time came to reveal the gender, I wasnt even interested.
My daughter had already said it was a girl.
Sure enough, I have two daughters.
About a year or so before he got sick, he bought some kayaks for him and my mom.
He has never known that either of them owned a kayak.
Still dont have an explanation for that one.
Our dog was very calm indoors and he rarely ever barked and never acted aggressive.
The corner was completely empty, and there wasnt anything we could see.
We tried to pull him away but he wouldnt budge.
I dont remember how or when our dog finally snapped out of it.
No one was in the house and all the doors were locked.
We saw the lights go out all at once but no one came out.
The cops came and called for backup.
They went through and found no one after looking for like 15mins.
They stayed with us the night but we never heard anything about it again.
They also moved away maybe a month after I think.
After that, nothing ever happened and nothing before.
I still think about those weeks all the time.
It was fucking weird and I have no explanation besides fucked if I know, ghosts?.
15.Speaking for my wife.
She has seen and still sees a couple dressed in white in our backyard staring at our house.
At night she will hear a giggle and doors close.
She tried to rationalize what she seen until one day she saw a lady floating over our bed.
That did it in and now she takes what I say seriously
16.I slept over at my buddies house.
Woke up at 3 am to the sound of a women crying coming from right outside his bedroom.
Then things began getting more intense.
She started screaming $7?!
You did this for $7?!
And as she began getting louder and louder I thought I might need to intervene before someone got hurt.
It went from a WWII war zone to being able to hear a mouse fart.
I still cant explain wtf happened.
I immediately sat up and braced for impact.
Before I could explain my dad told me he saw a boy running towards us.
His description of the boy matched mine while my mother confirmed as well.
18.I was sleeping in a hotel room and something woke me up I looked next to the bed.
19.I was one of the firefighters working on ground zero for 9/11.
I lost two of my buddies, and it still haunts me to this day.
As I was making my way through the rubble, I heard someone screaming.
I bolted to wherever I heard the sound, and only found a twisted body on a rebar.
The body was burnt and pale, and it looked like it had been there awhile.
I watched a firefighter walk up the rubble towards me, and hug me.
I was confused, but I understood why he wanted a hug.
I hugged him back, and when I opened my eyes, there was no firefighter.
I stood there, holding a helmet.
I dont know how I got this helmet, but it was in my hands.
I was holding this helmet in tears, while in front of an impaled civilian.
I still have that helmet, and I will never forget the hug the fallen firefighter gave me.
20.When my grandma passed away, in that moment, my husband and I were in several economic problems.
I just ignored it, but those dreams were repeating again and again…
So, I decided to take a look under her matress and GUESS WHAT???
I FOUND $1500 MEXICAN PESOS…!!!!
And, since that event, I never dreamed again with her.
21.So weird story that made me quickly question what was real and what wasnt.
He continued playing the game so I just thought if he wasnt worried then neither should I be.
Everything went smoothly well, not for long.
My brother paused the game, Do you hear that?
I then heard a humming sound of what seemed to be a little girl.
I nodded, The humming right?
I asked him, he nodded as well.
The door was shut thankfully so we did not see anything.
After a few seconds of the humming, it stopped and we heard footsteps from the attic.
Once the footsteps stopped and nothing else happened, we opened the door to see only the hallway.
Needless to say if I didnt believe in ghosts before that incident, now I did.
22.Most of my family is extremely religious and believe in ghosts wholeheartedly.
Most of them claimed to have seen something paranormal at some point in their lives.
That changed during my senior year in HS.
I was dogsitting at my great aunts house while she was out of town for a few days.
The dog was small, but fierce.
Suddenly, I clear as day heard a gravelly voice at the top of the stairs say Bad doggie.
The voice was deep and masculine.
I went upstairs because I was certain nobody else was supposed to be there.
I looked around and there was nobody in sight.
The dog was still barking at something that I couldnt see.
She was just barking at an empty hallway.
Thats when I heard footsteps walking away from us down the hall and into my aunts bedroom.
I could hear the footsteps, but I couldnt see anybody making them.
I noped the fuck out of that house with the dog and went outside in my car.
The dog and I slept there for the night.
Im not entirely sure wtf I experienced that night, but I definitely believe in the paranormal now.
I never knew him, but Im willing to bet that it was him who I heard that night.
23.Not about me but this ones about my 3 brothers.
Needless to say, they found this weird and stopped playing.
On the next day, my brother is suddenly hit with a high fever out of nowhere.
Ill have a go at dig up more details if I can.
No one was there and my mom didnt see anyone.
Apparently the same thing happened to my sister a few weeks before.
Also all the random voices and bags falling off shelves and moving shadows in the periphery.
On this day he was uncharacteristically quiet and I asked him if he was all right.
He said he was fine, and we continued through what would be one of our most breakthrough sessions.
A lot of repressed memories came up through it that have helped me to heal.
At the end of the session I asked him why he was acting differently today than other days.
He said when I walked in I was accompanied by a warrior-like person.
I knew instantly who he was talking about.
27.Ooh, ooh, I have a story!
So in high school, I worked kids birthday parties.
The place was basically a giant gym, and gymnastics/dance classes were also held there.
During the gymnastics class she taught that morning, one of the kids was staring up at the ceiling.
Strange enough, but whatever.
A pair of 5-year-old twins went down a slide and then stared at the ceiling.
We all went in and inspected the ceiling.
Of course, it was just a regular, gray, warehouse-y ceiling.
But we were all super freaked out at that point.
During my party, I was pushing a little boy on the giant swing we had in the gym.
He, too, began to stare at the ceiling.
He said DIRECTLY TO MY FACE, Hey, theres a little boy up there!
The next day, we had downtime between parties, and nobody was in the gym.
There are cameras in the gym that allow parents to see their children playing from the lobby.
My manager called us out of the break room Guys, check this out.
Its just the swing going.
The most prominent memory I have:
The upstairs consisted of 2 bedrooms.
I had the private room and my sisters room was the landing.
My mind was blown because I KNOW I heard her.
I call for her and she had been downstairs the entire time.
I think the funniest thing was having my pony tail pulled while I was doing the dishes.
29.When I was in my late 20s I was dating my girlfriend ( soon-to-be wife.)
We had been together for a while.
One summer, July 3rd, her sister was abducted and killed by a group of six men.
All the men were eventually caught and tried.
The trials and the aftermath for the family were devastating and debilitating for them for many, many years.
Fast forward three months, after the funeral.
Neither of her parents were home.
Just me, alone in the house.
I turned to look at the seat next to me and of course there was nobody there.
I stared at the spot in the couch next to me for a long while.
Feeling a bit uneasy, I turned off the TV and went outside to wait on the porch.
30.So my grandma use to live with me.
It was like this for about 12 years.
I remember my cat and dog both waking up and looking to the night light.
My cat got up and went to the light, pawing at it and making nosies.
My dog just stayed still, not barking.
Thats when I saw what I can only say looked like light bend around the night light.
I havent seen her or experienced anything like it again but Im sure shes still around.
