I'm not entirely convinced of the existence of ghosts yet, but I have had some very brief experiences that were fairly inexplicable otherwise, in my
opinion.
It first started when I was sitting at home on my couch, with my dog. He started barking at an empty wall. He continued barking, but started moving
his head to the side as if he was following something, but there was nothing there. I was a little spooked, and told him to be quiet. He continued
until he was looking at our front door, at which point he stopped barking and all was quiet. But only for a second, because then the doorstop, (the
spring on the wall behind a door to stop it from hitting the wall), suddenly made a loud sound like somebody had flicked it, and it looked as if it
had been flicked cause it was vibrating.
I jumped up and ran up the stairs to my room and hid under my covers terrified, turning the radio on to try and get my mind off of it.
As I was listening to the radio, it began to change stations by itself, so I took off down the stairs and outside and went to my friends house until
my dad got home.
The next day I was in my kitchen and I opened the fridge and it slammed shut on me while I was holding it. The same thing happened when I opened the
microwave. I was able to open each after the initial slamming shut, but I certainly couldn't explain why they were slammed shut the first time I
tried to open them.
On a seperate occassion my friend and I went to a house that had just been built and was still empty. I had read somewhere that ghosts like to
explore new houses, so I was telling him there were ghosts in it trying to scare him. We looked in the window and not two seconds later the fireplace
sparked up and there was a fire in the fireplace! (It was a gas fireplace.) We assumed it was automatic, and didn't think too much of it but went
to look through the kitchen window. The faucet turned on by itself and we got scared and turned to run away when a man pulled up in a car. We told
him immediately what we saw, and he got a scared look on his face, ran into the house quickly and locked the door behind him. So we left.
That's all my experiences, which all happened about eight or nine years ago, so my memory may have skewed or exaggerated some of the details, but
those are as accurate as I can make them. They haven't been enough to convince me yet...
