Ok...I know this is a bit early...but I'm like a kid on christmas morning when it comes to halloween...so I'm gonna tell my ghost story...and hope you'll share yours also...
When we were stationed in South Carolina my husband was getting ready to go TAD for school...no wife and kids aloud.So I took the kids to visit my sister-in-law in Texas...but I had to give up my on base housing..we were going to be gone longer than 30 days...so when we came back to South Carolina to await my husbands return we had to rent a house out in town.I found an adorable...but very old...little house I thought would be perfect.We were all moved in and as settled as we could be with my husband gone for several more months.A month or so after we moved in I here my daughter talking to someone in her room...I got a bad feeling...she was just giggeling and talking quietly,but she wasn't the type of child to talk to herself or have imaginary friends...she was 4 at the time.So I went in to check on her and I asked her who she was talking to..she says the grandma and the grandpa...now you must keep in mind,as a military family my daughter had met her grandparents once,when she was 3 months old...so I didn't know how she even knew what a grandma and a grandpa were.I was uncomfortable with it..it just seemed off so I brought her and her brother to my best friends house so she could play with her kids.While there I talked to my best friend about it and she said it was probably nothing..that she heard other kids talking about grandmas and grandpas,so I let it go...but every time I would hear her in her room talking..it gave me the creeps.One night about a month later my daughter came into my bedroom and said the grandpa couldn't get in,that she had tried to open the door but couldn't,would I come and help her.I sat up and looked at her very puzzled...then I heard it..this strange tapping sound.I put her in my bed and told her to stay there.When I got to the kitchen where the back door was I saw my daughter had opened the door...but the security chain at the top of the door was fastened so she couldn't open it...then I heard the sound again,but this time I recognized it...someone was drumming their fingers on the window.For a second I froze..then snapped out of it..I has two kids in the house...no time to be afraid...so I yelled for my husband to get the gun,no husband,no gun,but I had read to do this if someone is breaking in your house...it went dead silent.I never heard anyone run down the back steps...there was no noise.I snatched up both the kids and went to my best friends house.Her husband called the police and went over there to check things out...they said there was nothing there...but the door I knew I had left open was closed and locked.Every body(except my best friend)said I must have closed and locked it without realizing it...or it was never open...it was a cold night...I felt the breeze...and I know I never closed it.I didn't spend to many nights there after that,when I did I kept the kids with me...and I was grateful to move when my husband got out of school.My husband still teases me about this,he's a very logical man....this couldn't have happened...but it did...

South Carolina has more ghosts than the average place for some reason. There's an annual Ghost Tour in old Charlestown. I dated a lady who owns a downtown restaurant inhabited by an old spinster lady named Zoe. I never saw her or any of her antics but she's ran off more than a few of the wait staff. :)

At my brother and sister in laws house in Florence Alabama, they had a weird happening that starting just like yours. They were in the back yard of the house they rent when they heard their 4-5 yr old daughter (cannot remember her exact age then) talking to someone. They heard her offering someone a cookie. They went in and asked her who she was talking to. She said the old man. She then described him a little. They were freaked out about it. About a week later, they were talking to the neighbor who had lived there for years. They knew that the owners father lived there before them so they asked the neighber about him. The neighbor described him just like their daughter did and added the fact that .....HE HAD DIED IN THEIR DAUGHTERS ROOM YEARS BEFORE. True story

We have a restaraunt here called Lemp Mansion. It has been on America's most haunted places numerous times. The Lemps were a famous beer brewing family. Over the years, everyone from the great grandfather down to the youngest son has committed suicide. The TV shows show then being seen in mirrors, on stairs, etc. Unfortunately for me, I saw absolutely nothing. Ghosts...hhhmmmm
Been in Savannah Georgia, it is rather famuous for ghosts. Was going to stay at a bed and breakfast that was supposedly haunted, toured it but saw nothing special.

That's cause you aren't open to the idea of it I think!My husband says I'm a goof to believe in such things...to him there is a logical reasonable explanation for everything,wish I didn't believe...scares the crap out of me really...when we lived in the house in South Carolina and I did sleep there...I wouldn't get up to go to the bathroom all night...when my husband got back,I'd make him go with me...but I couldn't flush it...still can't...don't want them to know I'm awake!Drives my poor husband nutty!

Then you are saying that ghosts only exist for those who believe? Kind of like little green men from another planet....why is it they always land is some backwoods farmers field, and he gets anal probed? If they were so smart, seems like they would want to land at MIT or or somewhere to communicate with the smartest folks. Makes perfect sense....the mind is a powerful thing.
Just having fun with you KC....
