Over the last few days I have been asked If I believe in ghosts. Yes I do as I have witnessed it and was a skeptic before. I thought those people were seeing things and had a vast imagination.
We were living in England and just purchased our second house in Worthing. The plan was to take advantage of the expanding commuter zone in the booming South East market. The town had a main line train station that went to London. I had a choice of two areas and looking back now should have chosen Hastings which was a lot further up the coast, but has since boomed with prices going up more than 400 %.
After moving in and being there a few months we all started to notice certain things that weren't normal. My parrot max who is an African Grey is a very social bird and his spot was in the kitchen/dining room. We used to spend so much time around that area it made the most sense. If any one walked up to his cage he would jump on the side and say hello. We noticed the noise of him jumping on the side of the cage and saying hello when no one was even near him. Maybe we were being paranoid so we just kept an eye on things.
At meal times we all sat at the dining room table like families used to do. Whilst enjoy a meal and chatting we used to hear foot steps and movement upstairs. It became a game where I would creep up to the stairs and and the footsteps changed from walking to running. It was as though I had some extra kids staying over and couldn't work out if it was one or two extras.
My son and daughter had complained about a few odd things such as my son saying he felt someone was under his bed prodding him. He had a wooden slat bed so it was feasible.My daughters waste paper basket used to move which was more alarming.
One day whilst I was lying in bed i heard the foot steps thinking one of my kids was coming but nothing. My kids were down stairs still. My mattress moved as though someone was under the bed. It didn't make sense as my base was solid with draws used for storage.
The one day my daughter screamed as she was scared. She wasn't allowed to leave her room as her waste paper basket was moving preventing her from getting out. This was the first time we were now having problems with whatever it was. I was still not overly concerned as we had decided to move anyway.
Things got more bizarre when we started to have people round doing viewings. The night viewings were embarrassing and had to stop them. The light used to go out in rooms that had prospective buyers in. The light would flicker first and then go out. When they left there was nothing wrong with the bulbs. This ghost or ghosts was trying to prevent us from leaving.
The one day my son was in bed and he was playing with my Polaroid camera. An instant camera that develops and prints out a photograph. I used to use it for work and my son had found it. He had taken maybe 30 photographs of himself and they were on the bed. His curtains were open and there was a street light outside. The one photograph showed the reflection of the light inside with the street light in the back ground but someone else was also in the photograph with my son.
There was a man sitting on the bed with my son but it showed the face and shoulders only as that was where the window went to the bed side. It was a man with what looked like mace from a soldier or something that had suit and armor. It wasn't an evil face but still shocked me as this was no kid. I have kept the photo but will find it again one of these days. We have moved maybe 4 times since then and I know I put it in a book for safe keeping.
That is my story but a true story of what happened to me. Has anyone else had something similar?

Oh my @cryptoandcoffee that is quite spooky, I would love to see the photo if you ever found it.
I have a couple of things that are similar.
When me and my wife got married back in 2014 it was our evening doo and I said to her that to remember the day I would take some pictures of the hotel we were staying in, the sitwell arms at Renishaw in england too.
As i walked around the place snapping away I was in this hall, while i took the photo both in the same spot one of them looked like there was a figure looking right at me. it give me goose bumps.
I went to reception and told the staff there and showed them the photo on my camera, the lass behind the counter said it wasn't the first time that someone had caught a ghost on camera in their hotel.
The other one that was quite spooky was when we were kids, me and my brother had separate bedrooms and we both used to go to bed around the same time, one night we had been in bed around 20 minutes when all of a sudden my brother ran down the stairs screaming on the top of his voice.
My dad came up to me in my room and had a right go at me for been in my brothers bedroom, I hadn't. well my brother told me what he had seen and it was a young guy in his bed room, what prompted him to see what he did was something grabbed his toe.
He never slept in that room ever again, and I ended up having a bunk mate for a few years.
That ghost ruined my life that night. :D
I will find it but I think the lighting has something to do with it. It is pure luck I think if you manage to pick them up. It is not as if you going looking for them but obviously they are probably around most places.
I am open minded, I think that there has to be something otherwise would we see what we see.
I know some people even after seeing something like that would be like it must have been my eyes or a glare from the street light. I my self think we see these things for a reason.
I have heard of other cases but you might be right. I have seen other things since but to be fair don't know what they were. When something catches your eye and you know there was something there.
I have just read your post to my wife and she was like tell @cryptoandcoffee about the ghost in my mum and dads house, I said what you going on about, then she told me about when we first started seeing each other, I had gone to her house for the night while her mum and dad was away, we had been out drinking in a few pubs before.
When we got in bed she woke me a few hours later telling me that someone was at the end of the bed.
I had forgot all about it to be honest as it was something that had happened while I was drunk and past it off as a nightmare while sleeping, But I now recall opening my eyes and seeing something at the end of the bed, it was more of a shadow, I turned the light on and it was gone.
She even made me check the whole house before I was a loud back in bed.
How could I forget about something like that. I don't know.

If you live there now, and it is in the house wired gas, you have to do some really important: call the gas supplier, send out a mechanic, who can check the devices, and carbon-monoxyde leak, what is a lethal gas.
So many ghost story born due the wrong gas-machine and CO-leak, what can causes hallucinations, bad feelings, sudden angors and fears, and at the end, a tragedy...
No. This was genuine and I didn't believe in stuff before I saw the photograph. It can't explain that and all the weird things going on. Not everyone likes to believe in other things being around and that is fine but I know what was going on and believe in that stuff now.
I believe it, our senses and our knowledges is "little" and partial. We can see it every day in science. So yes, all paranormal things and magic are real. Just today these are unknown, undiscovered science.
And the CO-thing is real too. You can search it on internet, especially on the "sceptical ghosthunters blogs".
Creepy. I should not have read that, now am scared...
No way!!😱😱😱😱😱. That is some fucked up shit with the photo !! Jesus Christ .

I'm glad that has never happened to me; If it did I would sure move far away!
Interesting with the African grey saying hello. Thanks for sharing your story about your home.
howdy sir cryptoandcoffee! this is a great post sir. I bet alot of people have had similar run ins. I was surprised that it took several months for them to start manifesting, I guess they had to warm up to you guys! lol.
