Ghosts aren't real, but I had a spooky experience as a kid that I've never been able to explain.My cousin and I were playing hide and seek at our grandparents' house. We hid together in the closet in my mom's old bedroom. I couldn't have been older than 10.I remember looking down at the door where the light from outside the closet lit the floor and our shoes. I noticed that the light seemed to rise up the door a bit, which I thought was interesting. I turned my head to speak to my cousin, and that's when I noticed the goddamnedest thing.There was a glowing, clawed green hand resting on his shoulder.He saw it about the same time as I did, and we burst through the door screaming. We found our grandparents and made them come to the room with us to check. We pulled every stitch of clothing from the closet but found nothing: certainly no hands, but neither were there any green clothes or anything that glowed.

On election night 2008 I decided to celebrate at Raleigh Times where Obama had famously had a PBR. I invited a coworker who had a trailer trash Louisiana girlfriend. He insisted she go because he was basically stuck up her ass.Greg Hatem, proprietor of Raleigh Times who was a big Obama donor was at Raleigh Times with his wife and new baby. Sitting in the back room we had a table basically next to Hatem. Coworker and Mrs Trailer Park went to sit down at the table and I went to the bathroom to make room for the PBR.Making my way back to the table I hear a commotion. "You stupid cunt voting for that God damn n*****." Trailer park has realized it's an Obama party and left leaning establishment. She's now cussing out everyone in the bar most notably Hatems wife. I ghosted and left.[Edited on October 17, 2021 at 6:37 PM. Reason : M]

There was actually a long thread back in the day about ncsu ghost stories, it's probably long gone now

Around 2008 I saw the Brown Mountain Lights. My brother who is much like Frosh and does not believe in spirits or ghosts freaked the fuck out and had to go back to the car. I didn't last much longer. Shit was weird man. No explanation for these currently exist.[Edited on October 25, 2021 at 3:13 PM. Reason : .]

^A while back there was a Brown Mountain Lights thread here. I'll repost my BML story from there right here:I just started reading a book (Will Storr Vs the Supernatural) written by a skeptic who hooks up with a demonologist in order to get some first hand experience with ghost investigations. In the appendix, Brown Mountain is listed as one of the top ten haunted places in the USA. Now, I'm a skeptic myself, but seeing that in the appendix reminded me of this thread and I wanted to share my Brown Mountain experience. I don't believe in ghosts and I feel sure there's a rational, physical explanation, but here's my story:This was years ago, May/June of 1990. I, my brother, and his then girlfriend/now wife were doing some hiking along the Parkway in NC. We were curious about the lights, so we decided to just sleep overnight in the car at an overlook of Brown Mountain on the Parkway. Completely sober, but not by choice. Earlier in the evening we'd gone to a grocery store in Mitchell County (I think) to get some hamburger to grill. Looked for beer and were told, "This here's a dry county!"Anyway, probably about 10 or 11 o'clock that night we started seeing the lights. Now I don't know how the lights are supposed to appear (and I remember reading that the lights appear in different ways at different times) but here's what we saw:On the top of the ridge there would be a small flash of light (like a small explosion (of light, no flames or anything like that), but no noise whatsoever); from out of that flash a point of light would fly up above the mountain, then arc over and back down like the parabola of a flare.It wasn't especially bright or colorful. The points of light were about the color, size, and brightness of the average star. The initial flash on the ridge was slightly brighter and larger than the point of light that rose into the sky. I'd estimate the points of light rose about 100 feet above the mountain (and we were seeing this from at least a few miles away).When we first started seeing them, as far as I remember we saw one every two or three minutes. After we'd gone to sleep, I got up around 2 or 3AM to take a piss; at that time, the lights were coming so fast it would have been hard to count them all. I'd estimate they were coming at a rate of around half a dozen per second. (And all across the ridge, not one particular spot).Anyway, there you go. Just wanted to share that story, and also curious to hear if anyone's experience with the lights is at all similar to that.
