Have you ever been sitting in your dark basement at 2:00 in the morning and happened to see a shadow figure standing at the end of the hallway? Yeah, me too. I don’t know if anyone has told you, but you definitely saw a ghost. Either that or you were just hardcore hallucinating. Let’s hope it’s the first one.

Most ghosts are not dangerous, they are just lost souls who are spending a little more time on Earth then they should. They just want to stick to their business and finish up what they believe they missed in their time they spent breathing.

Ghosts are everywhere, all around us, all the time. Some people are extra sensitive to the paranormal and they have more experiences than others. I myself have had my fair share of experiences with ghosts and such. It isn’t rare to even just have the gut feeling that something, or someone is behind you. A chill runs down your spine, you see something strange out of the corner of your eye, or even just a quick light flicker. The evidence of ghosts is everywhere. This raises the question, do you think you’ve had a paranormal experience?

“I was in my friend’s weird basement and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I thought ‘psh, nothing new, I see shadow people all the time.’ So, I passed it off, but it didn’t move. Usually they go away or move or something. So I decided to fully look over there. I saw a weird man silhouette just standing in the dark hallway. I kind of just looked at it for a second and I could tell it knew I had seen it. It just walked into the room next to where it was standing. Now everytime I’m in that basement I just get a really weird feeling,” junior, Frankie Winter, said.

“I used to mow my aunt and uncle’s lawn for them, and they had a decently nice house but they lived right next to this house that was abandoned. I never really asked about it, but I’m pretty sure some albino guy died in the house. Anyways, I was mowing the lawn and some weird guy walked out of the abandoned house and just stood there and watched me. I kept going and slowly he started getting closer to me. I asked him if he needed something and he just stared at me. It freaked me out so I went into the house. I left a little after. When I came back like 20 minutes later, “Elf” was playing on the tv, and all the doors were open. When I looked over at the abandoned house, the guy I had seen earlier was staring at me through the window,” junior, Sam Hardy, said.

It’s possible you live in a haunted house and you just don’t know it. Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Running into a ghost is normal, and you don’t actually have to hunt to find them. If you want a good spook however, find a good spot you already have a weird feeling about right off the bat. You might not be able to sense a presence, but your body can. Explore places you’ve heard ghost stories about, and find out for yourself if ghosts are real or not.
