Provoking Ghosts

[Bakamut]

I'm not religious but I believe ghosts exist. I don't know if they are the actual dead or memories of people or things. It's a confusing subject. I lived in a house that was haunted by a man who looked like he was in his 20s, and a cat. Everybody in that house saw them. I'd see him through the corner of my eye and turn around and no one would be there. This happened regularly. They both lived in my friends' room, and both of those friends said that they would see him step over beer bottles at night. And no I don't think it was cause we were stoned 24/7. I think my cat also saw them. Cats are pretty in-tune with their surroundings. He'd do odd random things, like hiss at nothing.

There's a town my friend and his mum lived in a few years ago, it's an old mining town and it's literally a ghost town. Everybody in that town has stories of ghosts. There's a graveyard there that has a tombstone that is cursed. If you stand over it or on it, you will be cursed. Well, there was one smart ass who didn't believe it and had photos taken of him lying down on the grave. The next day, he died of a heart attack and when the photos were developed he was missing from the pictures. TRUE STORY.

My friend went to an old abandoned psychiactric hospital once to explore at night and he swore the place was haunted.

My mum used to work as a nurse in a hospital. One night she heard the sound of the typewriter in the office, even though the light was off. She went into the office and turned on the light and no one was there. Then when she turned off the light and left the room she heard the typewriter again.

A couple of friends of mine lived in a house that everything always went wrong. One of them saw a man who looked burned and bloody and he was NOT a nice guy. On her 18th party (I was there) a friend came in and said, "There's a guy here who was burned to death. He's not happy." Things always went wrong in that house. Arguments, fights, there was a lot of tension.

Then there's the haunted house near the docks in a suburb called Williamstown that's quite famous. Story has it that in WWII, a man went off to war and his wife longed for his return but he never came home. This house is abandoned, but at night you can see a light in there (There's no power to the place) and a woman. A couple of friends were thinking of squatting there but when they saw her, they were like, "smurf this" and turned tail. A couple of people have told me they've seen this and they don't know each other at all, (one told me on Friday and the other told me 7 or 8 years ago). They have no connection to each other. Like I said it's quite a famous place.

On my parents' honeymoon, my dad woke up and said to my mum, "Robert (her brother who was dying of AIDS) was here. He told me to look after you, Annie." The next day, they get a call from the hospital saying that Robert passed away that night at roughly the same time that Dad woke up.

And those are just a few ghost stories. I've heard others but I can't be bothered typing them. Anyway, to provoke ghosts, I think you should try the ouigi board thing. I don't know if it works or anything but it's worth a try if you REALLY want to provoke ghosts.

I don't believe in ghosts either. Seen and experienced pretty freaky stuff, but nothing that cannot be explained. Will never forget the times I've had sleep paralysis.

Just ask people where are there haunted places where you live. Every town and city has them and then go there with somebody that really believes in them. Have a good time.

[Faded Tears]

I dont care what you do in your own home, but ill give you one piece of advice, even if you are an athiest(prob at least).

Do not, under any circumstance, ask when you are going to die in occult practices. Because that would literally be placing your life in the hands of whoever you ask.

Have you tried this?
And I know I am about to sound a bit absent minded. But what exactly is an occult practice?

[smittenkitten]

I don't believe in ghosts I belive something else. Let's just call them spirits. Me and my friends were in the graveyard just having a laugh as you do. It was about midnight and I was recording my friend her phone. So we were doing silly things like making faces and acting out. Then we hear the loud bang... we looked at each other and got up. We started to go home since it was late, once we got there she looked at the recordings. About six times a blue orb went across the camera. A HUGE BLUE ORB PEOPLES! My friend got really scared and upset because it was next to her face. So I gave her a hug. That is one of my stories. :ghost:

Perhaps if you talk to them on the talkies, you might rouse them.

Your name haunts me with memories of the Valkurm Dunes. ; ;

Being a spirtualist myself, I need to stress what Aerith's Knight said. Do not dabble in things such as "occult practises" if you do not understand them.
Oooh - a good way to capture spirits on film is to take photos of hospital ruins, apparently.
*wags finger* But be respectful to the deceased.
And you don't get many malevolent spirits in graveyards - that's what I've heard from people anyway.
I think I'll stop now, before I end up rambling like some spinster with twenty-seven cats and an half-dead budgie~

[Old Manus]

Do it. It's not like the ghosts can beat you up for doing it.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I dont believe in ghosts only LSD so my idea is take the ashes of any family member pour there ashes in a potting pot and grow weed in it and once you smoke them *poof* they appear then do what u will if and when if doesn't work cuz either way you have weed

Even as a joke this is unfunny and marginally disturbing.

I personally go out of my way to test supernatural and occult practices. Some of the list of things I do each day include;

- Pray to all known deities in all world religions and request them to make a small green pig appear on my windowsill
- Attempt to move objects with my mind
- Attempt to send telepathic messages to people on the tube (often stuff like "You suck")
- Shout "screw you all ghosts, apparitions, spectres and poltergeists" and wait to see if I get maimed
- Try contacting the recently departed

So far my success rate has been approximately zero. Provided these results follow through I could disprove the existence of any with a 99.994% certainty by the time I die.

Lol - those are practically symptoms of schizophrenia
But dammit ~ I do that too.

Do the deities include FF summons? I know that the majority of summons ARE named after deities, but I mean... you could say FF/Shiva, FF/Ifrit... etc.

Invoke Gozer ftw.

nope.

hmm.. well, what i was referring to is actually a game. You call forth a ghost(or demon) and ask him questions. its been done enough times and is pretty famous, because freaky stuff always happens. Why i said this, is because of a few famous stories where kids asked when they were going to die, and got an answer 'in a week' or something around that time period. They actually died on that day(therefore the stories becoming rumors). I dont know if it was bull or not, but its never smart to actually place your life in someone else's hands.

calling forth demons and stuff would be my definition of occult.

Holy hell. If that's true, that is some scary .
Makes me want to write a story. Weird.

I won't even go near a Oujii Board. (sp)

[Jojee]

Ouji boards are just marketable... board game... things I've never done anything with one but I don't believes it!

[Faded Tears]

I'm not sure, but I don't trust it either way.

I read this one article where these group of people added some stuff to a Ouji Board and has records of it working or something to that effect.

I'll try to find it if I can, seemed pretty fake though.
