whos work/house is haunted?

let me preface by saying I think shows like "Ghost hunters" and the like are lame and typical and held to alot of scrutiny.

That said, some weird crap has gone down in my house. Stuff I've tried to debunk logically, and systematically, to no avail.
 
I've had a few experiences. My old house was haunted by a woman who lived there a while before we moved. She would just move down the hallway and peek into rooms checking on everyone. All in all I think a dozen different people saw her the 15 years we lived there and they all gave the same description.
My roomate works at a restaurant in Salem,Ma and he swears its haunted. Pots flying around, people being pushed and so on.

But the one that took the cake, and I recommend any skeptic to spend a night there, was the Queen Mary. Me and my boss who used to work there took me snooping around the lower decks one night. I never felt so strange while walking somewhere. Just felt physically weighed down and totally "hair on the back on the neck you know somethings going on" feeling.
There is a lot of documented cases there. I didn't know about any of it, but my boss did and I picked up on places where stuff had happened and I picked up on these areas. Also happened to be Friday the 13th July, 2007. They were also filming "The Search for the Next Elvira" that night.

Well thats my experience.
 
My house is definitely haunted. It always felt a little strange sometimes, but after my dad died it was really blatant. The basement door sometimes opens itself, and on saturdays sometimes the radio in the basement turns itself on when "Prairie Home Companion" comes on the air.

My band rehearses in an antiques warehouse. Recent feral cat infestation aside, that place has been ridiculously haunted the entire time I've been playing there. Tons of people who have hung out there have seen weird stuff, figures walking up and down the paths, etc. Amps randomly turned on, a couple times turned off.
 
My parent's house is haunted, and my house in California was haunted. Big time. Things would get thrown. Doors would open, slam, open, slam. Voices you could hear. Feelings of dread. Knocking. And I don't mean every once and a while. I mean, you could ask it to knock, and it would. It would sometimes knock so loud and so often that my roommate/guitarist had to sleep in my room for a few days because it wouldn't let him fall asleep. West Coast Paranormal Research Society came for a night with all their equipment and stuff... They said it was one of the most fascinating places they've ever been.
 
This thread is worthless without pics.

hmm didnt think it would get this far. Anyway, new occurence. upstairs we have flags that hang outside a window. we take them in every night. last night, i was took them both in, rolled them up and stood tjem in the corner. i locked the door and walked outside. i heard a bump from upstairs. i looked up at the window, and the flags were back out. i went up stairs, and the window was still locked.

its freakin me out guys, i dunno. im not workin there next year thats for sure.
 
Im not sure if any of you have ever heard of the mobster Pretty Boy Floyd, buy my mom was the lead interior decorator of the building where he was killed when they remodeled. She said she heard and saw some things that she cant explain. Not saying it was ghostly, but it still creeps her.

I do love the show Ghosthunters though.. I watch it weekly.
 
I am pretty skeptical about the paranormal...but have have enough otherwise inexplicable experiences not to entirely close off the possibility....
A house that I once lived in had built for, occupied by, and was the deathspot of the coroner of the city where I lived.
The grounds had been beautiful at one time, and besides the house, there were outbuildings, like a carriage house, garage, chicken coop, and his home darkroom/laboratory...with old files still there...also, there was a room in the house where I always felt like I was suffocating, and couldn't be there for more than a few seconds without panic. Roommates and I watched as things moved from spot to spot, or levels of things like mayo would rise and fall from day to day, weird footsteps in an empty hallway...
I can't explain, but I wasn't hallucinating, and I wasn't the only one who saw these things, so...?
 
not sure about haunted but some strange things have happened at our house. The night we moved in it was totally quiet but my wife and I kept hearing womens voices. We live in a rural area so it wasnt neighbors and there were no tv's or radios on in the house.

Another time I was sitting at the computer and my wife was sitting on the bed reading, next thing I know something that sounds like a pen or maybe a AA battery hitting the desk next to me. So I thought my wife had thrown something to mess with me and I turned around and said "why are you throwing stuff at me?" she looked up from her book and says "what are you talking about? i didnt throw anything" I said "something hit the desk next to me, it had to be you throwing something because we're the only two in here" to this day she swears she didnt do it.

Then one night my stepdaughters boyfriend was walking through the living rooms and lets out this big "oooowwwww"
and grabs his stomach. He lifts his shirt and theres what appears to be a burn mark about an inch long across his stomach. i ask him what happened and he says "I dont know, I was just walking through the living room and I felt something burn me" 6 months later the mark is still there.

and one night same guy was walking out of the bedroom when the glass from the light fixture in the hallway came crashing down on his head. It may have just been loose and when he walked out of the bedroom it was enough vibration to cause it to fall, no idea but it was pretty strange timing
