Yep, I believe our ghosts were the previous homeowners, Mr. & Mrs. Barker. I've got a story I could tell about Mr. Barker, but it makes my toes curl everytime I think about it. I've never even told DH that story. :shock: They're both gone now...WHEW!

I didn't use to believe in ghosts. I can't say I do now, but I accept the possibility. I don't know that I see a difference between ghosts and spirits except in terms of how they behave, but I could be wrong.
I didn't use to believe in spirits, but years ago I worked with a woman who did. She told me she'd prove it to me when she passed on. When she did, I was living in another state and of course working elsewhere, too. I am a little psychic and sometimes pick up on things, as when people I'm close to have died or are going to die. I started having a feeling that a woman had died, but couldn't get who it was, only that her name started with M. (Now I know that psychics aren't kidding when that's as far as they can get with the details.) My mother had a sister and a cousin whose names began with M, but when I'd think of them, I'd get this sense of frustration and wrongness. Understand, I thought these were my own thoughts, not a ghost or spirit trying to communicate with me. I also started thinking of that old job, but I didn't connect it with the feeling that someone had died. Finally, after about three weeks of this, I made the connection and thought of the right woman, and immediately got this huge feeling of relief. I finally realized the feelings weren't mine, they were hers! A week or two after that, a co-worker from that job called me and he told me she'd died, so that confirmed it.
It really makes me wonder whether my "knowings" as I call them are ESP or a spirit telling me. I mean, sometimes they're very trivial things. Example: Once I drove by a store thinking I wanted to go in and get a certain thing, and had a thought, as if a voice had spoken in my head, not to bother, that they were out of the item. Of course then I had to go in to see if I (or the voice) was right, and it was.
What makes you ask?????

Absolutely as well. As a child I would have visitors with messages. As an adult I have encountered several, especially in homes that I show (as a Realtor) as well as the fleeting ones in my gardens when I am working in the dirt. Had a visit from my grandfather that he had passed, told my parents (as it woke me up) and they didn't believe me...until the phone rang 30 seconds later and it was my grandmother relaying the news to my father.

Absolutly! I call them spirits and see them frequently at the hospital where I work. I seen them as a child and then for years I think I blocked it, Then became open again and see them frequently at work. I don't see them in my home And that may be because I smudge my house frequently. I also frequently see nature spirits.
I am really enjoying this thread by the way :thumbup:

I do believe also...My grandmother always called me at 10:30 am
on my birthday. She died the month before my BD. Well, on my BD the phone rang at 10:30 am and I said, "Hello".....out came a voice exactly like hers and then a few min. later a voice said Hello, is this...
and it was the library to tell me that my book was in!
When I had my second C-Section, the nurse kept telling the Dr that my BP was dropping more and more. I remember having this terrible pain in my head and then nothing.....Then all of a sudden I saw my DH and daughter looking down at me. Talk about weird....
I asked the Dr about it and all she said was...all went well!
