This has a specific theme to it, and it is that members post up their own personal experiences that they could not personally explain. Whether it be ghost, UFO's, other types of sightings, etc. Please no flaming in this thread, and respect the stories of others.

FIRST STORY:
When I was about 12 years old, I was standing out with my friend over at my dad's house out in Joliet, IL. This was a sunny and clear day about 3:00PM if I remember correctly.

Suddenly, a giant burst of air pushed the leaves on the ground into the air. As the two of us watched the leaves fly up 20 feet above us, we noticed one thing that was not falling back down to the ground. This thing was a couple hundred feet above us, and was silver in color and relatively round. It slowly moved from side to side, and eventually vanished (just out of site and not instantly).

My only explanation for this was it was a weather ballon released, and that was what we were seeing rise and sway in the wind. I'm not one to say it was a UFO or whatever, all I can say is that at the time, I could not logically explain what it was.


SECOND STORY:
This one is a bit better than the other. For one I would like to say that I am quite the skeptic. My friends and I have done our share of 'ghost hunting' but I am usually the one to rebute what the other have seen (since I am the one that never sees the shit they do).

Well, one day when a group of friends had gone to Bachelor's Grove Cemetery in Midlothian, IL. This cemetery is know to be one of the most haunted cemeteries in the USA.

Being a semi-professional photographer and developer, I went there carrying my 35mm SLR camera. I took a series of 6 rolls of 400 speed Fuji Film at and around the location.

Beside the pictures I had taken, there was only one instance that I could not explain, and here is the story:

When walking on the outside of the cemetery next to the pond and creek near the Midlothian Turnpike.... I was walking with my girlfriend in plain daylight around the time of 6:00pm.

Then about 15 feet in front of me I witnessed the movement of a shadow roughly 3 feet tall and 2 feet in width (suspended 2 feet off of the ground) move in front of me behind a rather large tree. To my astonishment, I stopped in mid sentence when talking to my girlfriend, and had a cold chill run down my spine. I slowly aproached the tree actually thinking that someone or something was hiding behind it. To my surprise, there was nothing to be found behind it.

Again, I am a skeptic and tried to think of every explanation for that kind of even, but I couldn't. It could not be an animal of any kind since I did not see the being move past the opposite side of the tree. I am not saying it was a ghost, but I am saying I could not explain it.

Other things that happened that night were very freakish. Once it became dark outside, many of my friends started to say they saw something. I usually rolled my eyes thinking that they were obviously looking for something.

There was only one instance where a friend actually was sitting along on the "Newman" grave where he got up and quickly ran out of the cemetery only explaining that he has seen shadows move amongst the trees on the outside of the fence, and then moved toward him. He is not someone whom is skiddish in any way. He is also a heavy-set guy, and one who quickly darted out of the cemetery.

Another friend who had formerly had a job as a ground's keeper at a Chicagoland cemetery was startled in the same fashion and cleared a 6 foot length of brush in one leap while he ran out saying, "Fuck this, I'm out of here!"

Finally, I never said anything that was seen as something out of the ordinary, but yet something that could not be explained. Please post your own stories. I would appreciate that you be honest, and also respectful of others stories. What I have posted have not been told to anyone in this forum because of the flaming that usually follows.

The pictures I took with a 35mm Nikon N65 SLR camera are below. I have the negatives as proof, and again, I am not claiming anything that is seen in the pictures, but that they were not physically seen when taking them.

Also, let me also say that ALL of those pictures were developed by myself being a former Wolf Camera Lab Manager. Also, in my 2 years as a Lab Manager had a rarely seen any kind of distortion in pictures taken in the same conditions.

((UNFORTUNATELY THE SITE I HOSTED THE PICTURES ON IS LONG GONE))

Well out of most people, i have had a genuine and rare sight that very less people have ever had in there life. When i was 14, i visited are grandmother in Farfulleries Texas, i might of spelled the town wrong, can't remember it's spelling. We visited her to say hello and sit with her through out the day, it came to a time where we needed a place to stay and my father didn't want to pay to stay at a motel, so we slept over at her house in a room with a king sized bed, i woke up in the middle of the night thirsty and wanted to drink some water, i was just looking around the room from the bed and found everyone else asleep, before i could get up or do anything, on my left side there is a window and a chair, and on that chair there was a white lady in a white beautiful dress and wearing a white veil, she was sitting without any movement, she is transparent and you could see through her, you couldn't see her face,hands or feet. I watched shocked for 13 seconds trying to clear my eyes from what i saw, but what i saw was real, i couldn't believe my eyes, i felt scared and went under my cover holding my self, until i heard a strange sound, i couldn't take it anymore, i tried waking up my sister who was sleeping on the left of me, since everyone else was in the same bed, i woke her up and told her if she see's anything, she says there is nothing, i woke up, the figure mysteriously vanished and it's not sitting on the chair anymore, from that day i never slept in that house again and wanting to put a recording camera but never had a chance, my grandmother who lived there would see them everyday and she would tell me that they never bother her and they keep her company since she is alone at home most of the time.

^^^ Damn man, that is truly an insane siting. To see a full apparition is pretty rare from what I have heard. I've also heard this usually happens to a choice group of people. Other than the stories I posted, I haven't had the chance to see something paranormal by the means of what you saw, and I have even tried egging on the ghosts.

One instance when a group of friends and I were doing a seance. One of my friends seemed to turn demonic. Now, I'm a huge skeptic and didn't believe him worth of shit. However, he did seem to have super human strength during this "possession". We were all holding hands in a circle when this happened. He just went nuts. Kicked over the table holding 3 candles, and head-butted one of my friends, who got a little pissed off, and kneed him in the side pretty hard. Needless to say, he didn't even flinch. When the same friend who tried to take him down to the ground (we are all holding hands still in the circle), he had about 280 lbs pushing down on his legs, and still didn't collapse. The possessed friend was about 5'8" 140lbs, but couldn't be taken down by my 280lb.

He then came out of it, and complained about his ribs hurting. He said he had no idea what had happened. Still, I don't completely believe this this former friend, since he turned out to be a lying asshole on other non-related terms. Still, if he was trying to fuck with us, he put on a damn good show. The knee to the side would have put down most guys I know, let alone the weight on his legs from my other friend.

It is very rare, i just came to notice that not many people have seen apparitions before, even though most paranormal video catches don't catch what some people see. I have had a few paranormal cases happen, but out of all of them, this is my rarest one, and the most astonishing one. I know a few places over here where i live that has paranormal occurrences, but i haven't visited them yet, and if i do i am planning to bring a camera over with an infrared. My family have seen many paranormal sighting in there life time, so it usually doesn't surprise them with what happens. But what i find strange is that, we both not only live in different countries, but we also live in another world with different views, in other words some people have seen strange sightings in there life while others have not. It's great to be skeptic about things, but at the same time it's best to solve the issues.

Pretty weird occurrence happened to me about a year ago.

I was watching TV late one night while my girlfriend was sleeping in our bedroom upstairs, I fell asleep on the couch and was awakened at about 2 a.m by my girlfriend and she told me she was woken up by her blanket being pulled off of her and heard a soft whisper in her ear saying 11 o'clock, I, being the chicken shit that I am freak out a bit and tell her we need to move and that im never going upstairs again. After about 2 hours  of watching tv and changing the subject trying to take our fear away I get the urge to go to the bathroom (upstairs), so I mustard the courage to go ( taking my girlfriend with me) we decide to go to bed (very slowly) took me an hour to sleep. the next day I go to work and kinda forget the whole thing. a little before 11 in the morning I get a text from my gf asking me where I am while im about to knock at my friends door, so I reply where I am still not really cluing in on the time and what had happened the night before answer simply that I was at my friends picking him up. well after that I knock and my friend comes out and we drive off to a job site and just up the street at the closest intersection we witnessed a horrible car crash between 3 cars where when we saw it on the news found out that 3 people died. The cause of the accident was one guy ran the red light and tbone a car and that car got rear ending. my heart sank and clued in after the accident when my girlfriend texted me at 11 saying remember last night be careful at 11 and try to ask Jason (my boss) to pull over or something.

Could have been a really weird coincidence but man did it ever hit me hard, to think if I hadn't gotten that text and delayed getting in the car I could have potentially been in that accident. I didn't dare tell me co workers the story there and then because they would have told me I was full of shit but I told them a couple of weeks later and still they didn't believe me. Ever since then I haven't ignored any little signs or gut feelings i've ever gotten.
