Let's tell ghost stories.

I hope this thread wasn't just recently made for Halloween, but I was thinking about this because of a podcast I listened to recently. How many of you have lived in a place that straight up had ghosts? 

Here's my story: The ghost of the old lady that lived in my childhood home before us lived up in the attic. From time to time we could hear it slowly pacing back and forth above us. It wasn't the house creaking or settling, I know what that sounds like. This sound was literally slow, methodical footsteps. But that was the only "interaction" we ever really had with it. Until...

When I was 14-ish, I decided that I wanted to set up a personal space in the attic. We had all been in the attic various times in the past, and nothing overtly creepy ever happened, so it didn't sound crazy to me to go and, I guess, just fucking hang out with an old lady ghost. Anyway, I spend a couple hours one night getting my little area all set up, and I finally sit down with a book to enjoy my new space.

All of a sudden, clear as crystal, I hear the voice of an old lady loudly and firmly say, "NO." She didn't yell it, but I knew she meant fucking business.

The next day, I took all my shit back downstairs and never tried to fuck with the attic again after that.

It's not really a ghost story but it's the closest I have.

I was hanging out with a friend of mine and she was having a bit of stress and wanted to take a walk.  Tells me that she usually walks down this road across the street from her apartment and circles back, but it passes a graveyard and it's after midnight at this point.  We go for the walk and the entire time I'm taking the piss out of her, saying "ooh, we're gonna see a spooky ghost oooOOOooo" and we're laughing about it, but we both freeze like 500 feet away from the graveyard because we're staring at a weird thing just fluttering in the wind and hovering over the graves.  After what felt like forever but was only a second or two it clicks that it's the flag on the flagpole looking faded out because of the yellow street light.  We both laugh it off but didn't say a damn thing about ghosts after that.
