OK folks, lets hear those personal Ghost Stories!
Here are mine;
Most recent; about two years ago. I am asleep in my bed with the Mrs. and the cat. I am awaken at about 2 am by a loud knocking on the wall across the room. I thought it was in my dream. The next night around the same time, I woke up and while trying to fall back asleep I hear the same exact knock. This time my wife woke up and asked what was that noise.
So two nights in a row and was heard by both of us. Now our neighbor shares the same wall in their bedroom. That part of the wall though is inside their closet and there is concret between our apartments. So it was not them, besides the knock came from our side of the wall. It was three very loud knocks but it did not freak out the cat, who is extremely skiddish. I call it the Death Knock Ghost and we have yet to figure it out. Nothing ever happened after that.
Second story
When I was a kid I lived with my sister and both parents in the same house for some 15 years and this was the only paranormal event I experienced while living there.
I slept on the top bunk in a room that I shared with no one, I just liked bunk beds. My sister was in the next room down and my parents room was directly across from mine. One night I was awaken by a sound at my dresser which was diagonal and across the room from where my head lied on the pillow. I look over and see a shadow rummaging through the contents of my dresser, I say "hello?" the shadow stops and then quickly glides over to the bed and stares me in the face, I closed my eyes so I didn't see a face or whatever. I then heard my parents door open and my Dad walk to the kitchen to get a drink. I opened my eyes to see the shadow glide out of my room.
I jumped up quickly and watched as it slide into the half opened door of my folks room (my Dad was still in the kitchen). I was frozen with fear then heard a loud gasp from their room, my mom had been awakened/startled from her sleep. The next thing I know, my Dad walks by, into the room closes the door and thats it. I finally manage to fall asleep after some time. I awake in the morning fully aware of what had happened the night before. I get out of the shower and go to get my glasses off my dresser, they're gone. For years I wore glasses and they always went in the same spot. We search the whole house, nothing (I didn't tell them about the shadow). A couple days pass and I return home from school and there are my glasses, right on the kitchen table.
I phone my mom at work and ask where she found them, she said they were on the table when she left for work that morning.
