I'm sitting here in a lighthouse and the year is 1834. I won't see another person for 6 months. Storms a brewing and to pass the time I need the finest ghost stories from the YF....

It can be personal accounts,  but also things you've head, or seen, not just ghosts anything strange and unnatural post it here.

Brrrrr already I'm getting a shiver down me spine in anticipation...

Through the mist, emerges on the headland in the flick-flash 65 second sweep of light a windslammed figure.

Hunched form leaning into the gale, clutching a sack, lurches from stunted tree to stunted tree.

He hangs grimly on. Fingernails torn, tendons taut, jaw set - inching towards the cliff's edge.

Flick -flash you catch his movement in strobe-like vision, and ...

the sack, the flickering flurry of cash money (note form), to be laundered by the waves, explodes from that edge - dispersed to the wind's bidding.

And that man (not known to you - yet - as Greek) will haunt your dreams and define your hopes: as sleep travels you Ring-wards, Fire-wards.

But the voice drifting on that wind calls but one name .... Mmmaaarrccoooo...tigers2011-03-05 20:24:36

I heard this story about a man who got murdered by his best mate and came back as a ghost to try and warn his wife about the guy.

He can't actually communicate with her but makes her hands do rude things when she has a go at some pottery.

He gets a spirit medium to tell his wife that she is in danger.

It's not a very scary story, but quite naff, if that will help you while stuck in your light house.

That is truly rubbish...

Ok I'll start.

This is true and it happened after an evening Nix match. I'd had a few and we were off to the BB for several more I think it was in season 2.

I went to the Railway station to get some cash out and for some reason I wandered out the front and then back in again. The place was empty except for a little old lady about 3 meters ahead of me pulling one of those old lady shopping trolleys. I remember thinking "you don't see many of them trolleys these days", glanced up at the clock I was near where the New World is now, looked back and the little lady had vanished.

I looked all around and there is no way she could have left the station and she never would have made it to the platform either, I'd taken my eyes of her for 2 seconds at the most. She should have been in the middle of the station between the toilets and the old paper shop. She was completely unremarkable, very small, dressed in black with a black trolley.

One of these trolleys

but in black.

So, how much DID you drink at the BB?

You have to be drunk or on drugs to be able to see ghosts. Everybody knows that.

I had a dream that an Indian billionaire with offices in Bahrain and Switzerland gave Terry $100m to pay his debts and take a half share in the Phoenix and turning us into THE Australasian superclub, primarily through leveraging a close relationship with the Serie A club he also owns.

Maybe she just went into the female toilets?

Yes it crossed my mind at the time, but I think I would have noticed her manhandling the shopping trolley through the door. No way she got over to the toilet and through the toilet door in the 2 seconds, it took me to look up and back down, she'd just passed the second entrance into the main hall. Usain Bolt would have struggled getting into the toilet unnoticed in that time.

Okay not mysterious but freaky.
A woman opposite me fell asleep and died on a Greyhound bus out of Phoenix in the middle of the night.
The woman next to her says to me 'has she fainted or is she dead.'
I asked if there was anyone with first aid experience on the bus. This guy summed it up 'no one wants to get involved.'
No pulse, so I tell the driver and he says he will arrange an ambulance for the next stop but not to say anything. He's on the radio saying a bunch of numbers, 10-38, 10-38,10-5, 10-16, 10-17.
When I get back to her seat she has flopped forward. So pretend to talk to her about low blood sugar and diabetes.
It must have been air escaping but I swear she whispered 'be free'. Seriously almost shreiked. Checked the pulse, nothing.
A few minutes later, very quietly she breathes 'yeeees'. My heart is racing by this stage.
Luckily we reached the amblance not long after and they popped an oxygen mask on to hide the death on the way out. Shook me me up quite a bit.
Didn't sleep properly for days until some Mexican friends introduced me to tequilla and mescale.edward l2011-03-06 21:37:46

I'm sure everyone would notice if Usain Bolt went into the ladies toilets.

Did you feel the need to go to the toilet afterwards as well?

When I was a teenager I had to go through the cemetery by the Vic Student Union building - and it was literally a dark and windy night. I was with my brother I think but fair packing myself.

To be fair KH - most of the shoppers in Coastlands would be old ladies with trundlers.

I had a chocolate biscuit out on the bench a few minutes ago. It's not there anymore.

The kids are asleep and Mrs Junior swears she knows nothing about it.

OK - I'm really worried . Every fortnight my pay packet comes into my bank account. The same day a big chunk of it mysteriously disappears.

It gets worse. I have this other thing called a mortgage which doesn't seem to change much over time. Should I go and see a doctor? Luckily it hasn't got any bigger but I've been told it could last for 30 years.

It's all too mysterious for me and sometimes I wake up in the night with cold shivers.

I've heard about these things called worm holes in the space-time continuum. Apparently this is where all the worms disappear into so they can then pop out of the ground somewhere else.

Maybe for p**s there are p** holes?

Can't say I have, but I can't imagine he'd have put them in there. I'm sure they might have noticed if he had and let me know.
