Several years ago, while returning from a business trip, I stopped at an antique store in Nanton Alberta. This store was once a hotel, then boarding house and was very obviously old.
The up stairs, while still having the original floor plan, was used for open displays of anything and everything you could call antique and still bring inside.
As I looked over the stuff in one of the back rooms, I had a feeling of being watched. I turned to see a woman standing in the doorway. She looked to be wearing period clothing, likely late 1800's or early 1900's. But what surprised me was that see was only visible from the waist up. She seemed confused as if she was about to ask why I was in her room. About as fast as I realized all of the above, she faded.
Rather than being scared by what I had just seen, I was curious. I went downstairs and found the owner and a clerk. I asked if the store had a ghost and just looked at each other, smiled and asked what I saw.
They were able to tell me that when the building was a boarding house, a widowed school teacher lived in the back rooms. She taught piano and was well liked by the towns people. She lived there until she died in the 1930's. Apparently, I am only one of three people to admit they have seen her. One that knows her best is an old Indian lady who comes to visit once or twice a month. She says she was one of her students. The other, the store owner.

14 yrs ago i lived for 14months with a ghost/spirit (male) it sent my dog i had at the time mad,n uncontrollable,in which she had to go back to the rescue she came from as we didnt know why at the time.my spirit used to have a shave in my bathroom at 9am every morn leaving me to clean the sink of shaving hairs(yuk),he would never let me watch anythin scarey or upsetting, so if anythin came on the tv/video he used to turn it off or over.One day i went to my relatives round the corner wiv my 2yr old at the time we decided to take the kids to baby clinic so i left my daughter wiv her and my mom who was there at time to go n get her record book and ran to my flat round the corner to find i couldn't get in, my side window was left open, so i struggled through it ,as my family turned up laughing at me, as i entered my flat i found that the deadlock had bin put down on the catch the bolts top n bottom had been locked over, and i bet he was sat on stairs having a good giggle at me struggling through the window. as i now knew why my dog was getting upset i went n got a german shep pup ,she was bit upset to start wiv,i went out for 15 mins after having her for 5weeks to come home to a little lost pup shivering n quakin inside my mattress(springs all around her) i comforted her n spoke to her told her bout our guest n from that day on (either it was cus id told her or the fact my guest wasnt botherin her no more )she was fine. this wasn t the only encounter i have had wiv ghost/spirits i have one at every house i ve lived in but they obviously supposed to be here wiv me im now used to it its part of my life hope i havent bored u all too much just thought id share my views wiv u all blessed be ;D

Do you think it's a different ghost or can it be the same one? I've read that most often, places don't get "haunted" people get haunted.

With L's permission, can you share your experience? Did you communicate?
Bearing in mind, a spirit is an entity with free will. A ghost is a reflection of a past event. (or at least in my current definition) Do you feel that you are dealing with a spirit or a ghost?

Hello everyone. Here my house is also haunted to an extent. TV's go on and off, doors open / close, lights on lizard cages blow out, orbs caught in photos, and there is Alphie.. He is well the spirit/ghost (not sure which one he is) that goes against my son Kyle. He has physically touched my son many times even pulling him into a sitting poss. and throwing him backwards. But he is not a nice one. He has told my son to hurt others but my son resists. So many things have happen in my home It would take me months to type all this out. But I also do paranormal studies I take photos, EVPs and so on. I have been sensitive since I was young. It started for me around the age of 10. So getting back to the topic Do I believe in Ghost.... YES I do...

I've seen things and images that I perceive to be ghosts, I had a couple of frightening experiences (not that the experiences were particularly frightening, just my gut reaction was fear.) and now I think I'm pretty okay with it.
